A piece of scrap Paper

"The power is formidable!"

Although Ye Neng and the others didn't know why Bai Qianyi kept resurrecting time and time again, witnessing Bai Qianyi, such a powerful expert, being forced to flee in such a miserable state under the attacks from the scroll, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

"Ah!"

"We've missed so many opportunities!"

On the other side, Liu Guyi and the others who were spectating wore bitter expressions and couldn't help but shake their heads in regret.

"Yes, not only do this father and daughter possess the cultivation of Earth Immortals, but they also have such a powerful scroll. Even Bai Qianyi is reduced to fleeing in embarrassment. They are invincible in the entire North Sea!"

"Indeed."

"Under the current circumstances, our so-called Four Great Sects are nothing more than a name."

"Alas, it's likely that our Four Great Sects will have no place in the future North Sea!"

But in the face of this situation, all they could do was nod helplessly.

The tides of time change, and eras shift.

At a turning point, if the right path is chosen, even a pig can be lifted by the wind.

Conversely, if the wrong path is chosen, they will gradually be lost in the river of forgotten history.

And they belong to the latter.

"Hoo!"

At that moment, a pleasant whistling sound came from the north.

Everyone hurriedly turned their gazes and were astonished to see a flying ship speeding towards them with a radiant glow.

Even though it was still far away, it already exerted immense pressure on them.

Naturally, such a commotion also caught the attention of some hidden individuals.

For example, the other forces in the Lingxu Realm.

"Sir, this person might be of use to you."

In the void, an old man stood respectfully before a middle-aged man and spoke softly.

"It remains to be seen if he has the ability." The middle-aged man smiled. "Although his wooden carving and scroll display decent strength, it is not enough for me."

"What would be considered enough?"

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"At least, he should have some resistance in the face of Baiyang Palace." The middle-aged man spoke leisurely.

"I think that's difficult."

The old man smiled bitterly. "Baiyang Palace is a formidable force in the Lingxu Realm, and Lu Zhengyi has reached the cultivation level beyond Heavenly Immortal. Not to mention the numerous Earth Immortals, ordinary people won't be able to withstand them!"

"Indeed, it's difficult."

The middle-aged man chuckled. "But I don't expect him to defeat Baiyang Palace. However, his performance from now on should at least satisfy me."

"If he can satisfy me, I can intervene and save him once."

"Of course, if he's just a useless waste, then dying is dying. It's not worth my intervention."

"You're right, sir."

The old man nodded in agreement.

"Let's see how things unfold."

The man smiled, stood with his hands behind his back in the void, and watched the drama unfold.

The flying ship was incredibly fast.

In just half a moment, it flew over half of the North Sea and arrived above Bai'er City.

The enormous ship cast a vast shadow over Bai'er City.

Led by Lu Zhengyi, dozens of powerful experts looked down upon Bai'er City and its people from above.

Seeing this, Ye Neng and his daughter were filled with astonishment.

Whether from the imposing aura or the aura of the people on the ship, they could tell that Baiyang Palace behind Bai Qianyi had made a move.

What made them even more wary was that none of the experts on this flying boat had a presence weaker than Bai Qianyi.

In other words,

All of them possess the cultivation of celestial beings.

This sent a chill down the spines of Ye Neng and his daughter Ye Yi, and their hearts trembled.

Just one Bai Qianyi had turned the entire North Sea upside down, let alone dozens of such experts.

"Father, what should we do?"

Ye Yi, lacking experience, felt a sense of panic when she witnessed this scene, and she anxiously asked Ye Neng.

"Don't panic, we have the gentleman behind us," Ye Neng hurriedly reassured her. "Besides, at worst, it's just death."

"Yes, we have the gentleman behind us."

Thinking of that figure in the white robe, Ye Yi took a deep breath and immediately calmed down.

"This matter is getting bigger and bigger. I didn't expect the experts from Baiyang Palace to show up so quickly."

The people like Liu Guyi on the side also started discussing when they saw Lu Zhengyi and others.

"What should we do?"

Yun Tianlong couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go, this is not something we can meddle in," Liu Guyi solemnly said.

"But for us, isn't this an opportunity?" Yun Tianlong's eyes flickered as he looked at the three of them. "For us, it's a chance to realign ourselves. Either we side with Baiyang Palace, and if they win, we'll be better off under their control."

"Or..."

"It's to side with the person from Qingniu Sect. By then, we might have a chance to be just like Ye Neng and his daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guyi and the others fell silent.

Yun Tianlong made a good point.

It is indeed a good opportunity to choose sides now.

Perhaps their involvement may not affect much, but for some important figures, all they want is a stance.

But is it so easy to pick a side?

It's good if they choose correctly, but if they choose wrong, they will face devastating consequences.

"What do you think our chances of winning are?"

Li Canghai asked.

"Based on the current situation, although that painting is powerful, if the person from Qingniu Sect doesn't have any tricks up their sleeve, it'll be difficult for them to stand against the lineup of Baiyang Palace!" Yun Tianlong said.

"That's true," Liu Guyi said, "but no one can guarantee that the person doesn't have any tricks up their sleeve!"

The few nodded at each other, acknowledging the reason in Liu Guyi's words.

For a while,

The four of them were in a dilemma, not knowing how to choose.

"Forget it, let's prioritize self-preservation!" After a moment of silence, Liu Guyi said.

Li Canghai and Yun Tianlong nodded with a bitter smile.

This decision is indeed too difficult to make, perhaps it's wiser to prioritize self-preservation and leave this place.

Just as the three were about to leave, they noticed Jian Hengtian walking towards Ye Neng and his daughter.

"What are you doing, Jian Hengtian?" Liu Guyi shouted with a serious face.

"I'm siding with the person from Qingniu Sect," Jian Hengtian said with a determined face.

"You..."

Liu Guyi showed an expression of disbelief at Jian Hengtian's decision.

"Aren't you afraid that the person from Qingniu Sect will be defeated? Keep in mind that they are currently facing the entire Baiyang Palace!" Liu Guyi exclaimed.

"To hell with it, I've missed out on so many opportunities already, and I don't want to miss this one!"

Jian Hengtian resolutely walked towards Ye Neng and his daughter, turned his back to Liu Guyi and the others, waved his hand, and shouted, "If you want to leave, go ahead!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Guyi and the others could only sigh helplessly.

However, it must be said that they somewhat admired Jian Hengtian, admiring his audacity at such a time, being able to stand firm and resolute.

Liu Guyi and the others flew up into the air and retreated to a distant location to observe the battle.

"Jian Hengtian, is that you?" Ye Neng looked at the approaching Jian Hengtian, his voice filled with astonishment.

"I had the privilege of receiving the guidance of a master, so I consider myself half a disciple. That's why I stand together with all of you," Jian Hengtian stood side by side with Ye Neng and spoke resolutely.

Ye Neng and his companion were left speechless, their gazes towards Jian Hengtian filled with admiration.

Perhaps Jian Hengtian wouldn't make any difference at all, but being able to stand by their side at this moment still moved them.

Bai Qianyi glanced indifferently at Ye Neng and the others, completely ignoring them.

After all, in her eyes, there was only that painting and the person behind it. Ye Neng and his ilk were simply not worthy of her attention.

"Master, it was the power released by that painting that broke my three seals," Bai Qianyi stared at the painting with a face full of hatred. "This painting and the statue I mentioned to you before, both were created by the same person."

"But I have already destroyed the statue, and only this painting remains. Once we suppress this painting, we will be able to uncover the person behind it."

"Very well," Lu Zhengyi's pupils contracted, and he stared intently at the painting. It had to be said that the painting gave him a strong sense of crisis.

But he did not panic.

After all, this time he had brought the entire force of the Baiyang Palace.

Couldn't they deal with a mere painting?

"Listen to my command, join forces and set up the formation to destroy this painting!" Lu Zhengyi coldly ordered.

As soon as his voice fell, dozens of celestial immortals descended from the flying boat and surrounded the painting from all directions.

"Activate the formation!"

Lu Zhengyi, who was in the lead, formed hand seals, and a powerful force spread towards the painting.

Others also acted at the same time, unleashing their respective powers.

In an instant,

the power of dozens of celestial immortals converged together, enhanced by the formation, instantly trapping the painting within an energy cage.

The painting radiated golden light, and beams of light continuously shot out from the woman's eyes.

However, despite the strength of the beams, they were evenly distributed among the attacking individuals, making it difficult to produce any actual effect.

As time passed, the brilliance of the painting gradually dimmed, and the attacks it emitted became weaker and weaker.

Finally,

the power of the painting was exhausted.

Lu Zhengyi directly dismissed the formation, flipped his hand, and a sharp claw mark directly tore through the painting.

"Rip!"

The painting instantly turned into scraps of paper, losing all its power.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, Bai Qianyi, who stood on the flying boat with a face full of hatred, burst into laughter.

Back then, the power of this painting had chased her to the point of utter humiliation. And now, under the power of her Baiyang Palace, it had become nothing more than a piece of waste paper.
