His hand was burnt to a pitch-black crisp, leaving only the jade-like bones of his fingers.

"The temperature is just right," he rubbed his fingertips together and laughed, then turned to look at the two people who were struggling on his left hand.

The two of them felt their souls scatter in fear under his gaze.

"No!"

"Stop it!"

"Changzhou, my nephew, we were wrong! Ah!!"

Gurgling sounds could be heard as the two were pushed by Li Changzhou into the cauldron of oil. Human Immortal Level beings were being scalded in the cauldron like pigs' hair in boiling water during the New Year.

"You come here too!" Li Changzhou's eyes shot towards the Water God like sharp arrows.

The Water God felt a chill throughout his body, his hands moved, and there was a sudden, loud splash, as boundless seawater filled the entire Eight Diagram Platform.

In the sea, the Water God revealed his true form—a gigantic dragon winding its way toward Li Changzhou.

The crowd only saw bubbles bubbling as if chimneys stood tall amid the sea, and after a moment, next to Li Changzhou, the cauldron was filled with the Five-Colored True Light that suppressed the dragon within it.

The cauldron, from Hell itself, continued to roil and boil even in the sea, much like the unquenchable flames of the Flame Mountain, which had withstood wind and rain for five hundred years.

In the blink of an eye, three Human Immortals were suppressed, one of whom was even a second-rank Human Immortal.

The crowd finally changed color, especially when the dragon was pressed into the cauldron—the dignified second-rank Human Immortal was unable to last but a few rounds under the Five Elements True Light.

Her hair, white as the first snow, danced in the water. The Turquoise Pool looked toward Lin Lingsu.

"Shenxiao Lightning Summoning Technique!"

Boom!

Thunder flashed and roared within the seawater, almost turning into Thunder Liquid, pouring into Lin Lingsu's body, illuminating him translucent.

His eyes lost their pupils, leaving only the fierce white of lightning.

In front of Lin Lingsu, who had drawn lightning into his body, even the Primordial Spirit of the Duke of Thunder, Lei Gong, would not be fit to carry his shoes.

The Turquoise Pool smiled charmingly, not taking the matter to heart in the slightest.

"He's mine as well," Li Changzhou stepped forward, shielding the Turquoise Pool.

Guanyin had been defeated under his hand, and he was full of anger.

His entire body's Mana and Qi-Blood formed a Divine Bow, ready to unleash Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Fist.

All faces throbbed with trepidation as if targeted by an arrow at their heads, with Lin Lingsu feeling a piercing pain throughout his body.

He squinted his eyes; dealing with Li Changzhou might require calling down the thunders of the ninth heaven; this little tempest he'd stirred up on the ship was no match for him.

"Enough."

The seawater on the Eight Diagram Platform disappeared completely, and Princess Iron Fan watched the crowd with cold eyes.

"With such a formidable enemy before us, why make such a commotion? If you wish to kill, then go to Mount Putuo!"

"Princess Iron Fan speaks wisely," the male sword cultivator of the Qingcheng Sword Sect spoke. He glanced at Li Changzhou, "Stop causing trouble here. It was merely because you forgot the agreement that everyone wanted to teach you a lesson."

It seemed like this person didn't think much of the people from Li Tang, the remnants of a fallen country.

Li Changzhou didn't even glance at him and told Princess Iron Fan, "Since Princess Iron Fan has spoken, I will give you this much face. Next, I and he will fight to the death—"

He pointed at the male sword cultivator from Qingcheng Mountain.

"—and after the battle, regardless of the outcome, we'll unite against the enemy."

The expression of the male sword cultivator from Qingcheng Mountain darkened.

The crowd held their breath, having thought Li Changzhou malleable as putty, but inside, the putty was full of needles, ready to prick anyone who touched it!

"Count me in," said the female sword cultivator from Qingcheng Mountain with a sneer, looking at Li Changzhou as if he were a dead man.

"City Lord Li," the voice of the Qingwei Sect's female priest was soft, "Enemies should be reconciled, not made. Our common goal is Guanyin, why should we fight among ourselves? Besides, indeed, you failed to meet us as scheduled, wasting everyone's time. If you could just bow and apologize, this matter can be let go."

"Nonsense! If you speak another word, you will join them. If I don't kill you three today, my last name is yours!" Li Changzhou stepped forward, and the Five Elements True Saber erupted with a roar. The entire ship trembled as the vast and majestic Five-Colored Light shone on everyone's faces.

The Qingwei Sect's female priest raised her slender eyebrows slightly, her delicate lips parting as if to speak, but she suppressed her anger and remained silent.

"Let's see how you're going to kill us today!" The two sword cultivators sprang to their feet.

Sword lights flickered through the air, and translucent Sword Qi swam like fish through the atmosphere.

On the Eight Diagram Platform, everyone's hearts raced, completely unprepared for the turn of events.

It was just a pretext to try and intimidate Li Changzhou with the advantage of numbers; some saw a chance to seize power while others coveted treasures. Li Changzhou's refusal to yield was one thing, but how dare he directly confront them?!

"Wait," Yang Qinglan stepped in front of Li Changzhou, "You've just taken a beating from Guanyin, and you threw three Human Immortals into the cauldron; don't waste any more Mana."

A battle with Guanyin?

Not just ordinary folks, even Princess Iron Fan took several more glances at Li Changzhou.

Just when Li Changzhou thought Yang Qinglan was about to bring peace, she continued, "Leave those two to Qian Xia and me."

"And me?" The beautiful eyes of the Turquoise Pool turned toward her.

"Watch the others. Anyone who speaks further, it's up to you to deal with them." The breeze swayed, and Yang Qinglan's long hair fluttered, with the Ruyi in her arms glowing with white light.

Li Qianxia also advanced, dressed in Blood-colored Armor, with a steel spear in hand.

Winds surged over the South Sea, thunder boomed in the sky, and the Immortal Energy stirred heaven and earth.

The Turquoise Pool laughed lightly, "All right, I'll listen to you this time."

Heavenly Calamity transformed into a massive Green Bird behind her, spreading its wings and shedding Radiance, its sharp eyes watching every individual.

Princess Iron Fan furrowed her brows.

After Red Boy was captured by Guanyin with the Lotus Throne and turned into Child of Good Fortune, she lived in seclusion. With the Heavenly Court and Western Heaven moving far away into the stars, she emerged from her isolation.

To rescue her child, people like Li Changzhou were her aid. If possible, she didn't want them to waste a bit of Mana.

"City Lord Li," she began, "May I ask for another favor of you and stop this here? After we flatten Mount Putuo and obliterate Guanyin, then you can make all the trouble you want."
