Lin Qihe received a distress call from the Qin family of Wanbao Immortal City, but the recipient was unclear. Yang Zhenshan suspected the message was relayed through Zhongli Yue or Zhongli Xiayi, prompting them to travel to Wanbao Immortal City to investigate the situation. Upon arrival, they sensed tension in the inner city, while the Qin family and their allies anxiously awaited an unknown savior.

If they can mobilize this force, it’s not impossible to have the confidence to contend with the Beihai Demon Court.

Just as several people were frowning, pondering whether Sun Ye’s suggestion was feasible, Yang Zhenshan and Lin Qihe suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

The sudden fluctuation of aura instantly alerted everyone, who stood up quickly, gazing fiercely at Yang Zhenshan and Lin Qihe.

Yang Zhenshan paid no heed to their anxious demeanor, his gaze calmly sweeping over the five people in the hall, finally resting on Qin Xianyang.

"Qin Family’s Qin Xianyang? Was it you who sent the communication to me?" Yang Zhenshan said indifferently.

Zheng Kai Ming, Qin Xianyang and the others were taken aback, looking at each other in confusion.

None of them recognized Yang Zhenshan, nor could they discern Yang Zhenshan’s origin, let alone guess his identity.

This was normal, as Yang Zhenshan rarely appeared in front of the world and was not very famous externally.

If it were in the Western Regions, he might have some reputation, but in the Central Regions, he was merely an unknown figure.

Zhongli Xiayi left a communication talisman with the Qin family not to have Yang Zhenshan shield the Qin family from disasters, but in hopes that Yang Zhenshan would lend a hand when the Qin family faced difficulties, offering them a retreat.

"Indeed, it is I. May I ask who you are, sir?" Qin Xianyang recovered and asked courteously.

Yang Zhenshan’s lips curled slightly, "Yang Zhenshan from White Jade City!"

The Yang family was now a thing of the past, and it’s time for White Jade City to appear in the world; continuing to hide held no significance.

Of course, it’s not that the Yang family no longer exists, but henceforth, activities should be under the name of White Jade City rather than the Yang family.

The Yang family represented just a family; it’s understandable for a family to have a few guest elders, but having so many demon beasts, and even a Demon King, would seem odd.

White Jade City, however, is a Sect where Human Cultivators, Demons, and Ghost Cultivators can all integrate within.

"White Jade City!"

Zheng Kai Ming and Qin Xianyang were both bewildered.

Yang Zhenshan, seeing their reaction, was unconcerned, and asked, "Who gave you the communication talisman?"

"Miss Xia Yi!" Qin Xianyang replied.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, just as he expected, "Then what is it you need me for?"

Qin Xianyang, for some reason, suddenly felt a wave of nervousness and said, "We want to contact the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect, do you have any way, sir?"

"..."

Yang Zhenshan looked at them speechless.

"You’ve sought out the wrong person. I am not part of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect; I am merely close friends with Fellow Daoist Xia Yi, with no substantial connection to the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect!"

His only ties to the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect were through the siblings Zhongli Yue and Zhongli Xiayi; apart from them, there were hardly any other connections.

Of course, he was still a guest elder at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, but this title was merely nominal and didn’t warrant attention from the high echelons of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect.

Qin Xianyang awkwardly chuckled, "Apologies for my ignorance of the situation and for disturbing you, sir!"

"No problem!" Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, then said to Lin Qihe, "Give Qin Daoist another communication talisman!"

Hearing this, Lin Qihe immediately took out a communication talisman and handed it to Qin Xianyang.

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to contact me at any time!"

Looking at the communication talisman handed over, then at Lin Qihe, Qin Xianyang received the talisman, saying respectfully, "Thank you for your care, sir!"

He could discern Lin Qihe’s cultivation level, as Lin Qihe was one small realm lower than himself, yet he couldn’t see through Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation, feeling that Yang Zhenshan was unfathomable.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, "Farewell!"

Immediately after, he and Lin Qihe disappeared from the hall without a word extra.

By this time, he understood why Qin Xianyang sought him; it was just desperation leading to random attempts.

As for why Qin Xianyang wanted to contact the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect, he could also surmise the reason.

The situation was turbulent, and the Beihai Demon Court was pressing step by step, though yet to threaten Wanbao Immortal City, Zheng Kai Ming and Qin Xianyang felt the pressure and urgently wanted to connect with the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect.

But they had found the wrong person; Yang Zhenshan had no intention of intervening in the Northern Domain’s situation, nor did he plan to antagonize the Beihai Demon Court.

Upon returning to the Life Realm Immortal Palace, Yang Zhenshan quickly put aside thoughts about the Qin family, instead summoning everyone to the Longevity Hall for a meeting.

In the Longevity Hall, the high-ranking members of White Jade City gathered.

Xuanzhen, Yun Xiao, Lin Qihe, Qing Niu, Yue Yao, Kou Ta, and Hong Fuxiu, among other Golden Core Cultivators.

Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, Cui Yang, Ning Yun, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao, Yang Chengmao, and Yang Chengye, all holding specific positions in the Five Cities and Twelve Floors.

The Golden Core Cultivators and Demon Kings represented the highest martial power in White Jade City, while others represented the management tier of the Spirit Source Land.

"How does everyone view the current situation in the Wanhua Domain?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but frown.

For them, the situation in the Wanhua Domain could be summed up in one word: chaotic.

The war was escalating, affecting almost the entire Wanhua Domain; one couldn’t say there’s no untouched land, just that finding a peaceful place now was truly difficult.

Yun Xiao, pondering with a hint of thought, asked, "Does the Honored Lord have any ideas?"

"Indeed, I have some thoughts." Yang Zhenshan didn’t hide, straightaway stating, "Our White Jade City is not weak anymore, it’s time to go out."

Go out?

Everyone was stunned but quickly became animated.

Go out!

These three words were easy to say, but executing them was challenging.

The "going out" Yang Zhenshan referred to wasn’t about everyone leaving the Life Realm Immortal Palace, but about White Jade City establishing sects externally, dominating the region.
