"Feng Hong District!"
When the cultivator at the ninth level of Hedao, standing before him, mentioned his district, Xu Tianzong's expression darkened further.
The apprehension in Xu Tianzong's eyes was no longer concealed.
From within their landing spot, Li Qi heard the self-introduction of the ninth-level Hedao cultivator and felt a sense of confusion.
He glanced to his side.
Gu Mengping, who had been recovering from his injuries during their journey, also woke up.
"Gu Mengping, what's the situation with Feng Hong District? Tell me."
Gu Mengping's face was equally grave as he looked at the figure blocking Xu Tianzong, his voice filled with extreme wariness.
"Every extremely distant region has a Void Black Market."
"The territories are divided by the locations where the Void Black Markets are established. The number of smaller areas near our Void Black Market is at least nearly ten thousand."
"And Feng Hong District's overall combat power ranks within the top hundred of these regions."
"Nothing else, it's because the strongest individual in Feng Hong District has not only reached the ninth level of Hedao, but there is also another cultivator at the seventh level of Hedao in Feng Hong District."
"As for the rest, I heard that a few days ago, several peak Void Returning cultivators in Feng Hong District seemed to have bought cheap Hedao Pills from the Void Black Market, and recently they successfully broke through, which has also added several cultivators at the first level of Hedao to Feng Hong District."
"I didn't expect that this time, the Hedao stage powerhouses from Feng Hong District would arrive earlier to snatch the small world of Chi Ri District."
"Judging by this, we'll likely have no chance to harvest the Heavenly Dao Will of Chi Ri District."
Li Qi understood upon hearing this and comprehended the formidable strength of Feng Hong District, with two Hedao stage cultivators, one at the ninth level and another at the seventh.
When Gu Mengping mentioned the cheap Hedao Pills, Li Qi's expression remained unchanged.
However, Li Qi also knew that the Hedao Pills bought by the newly breakthrough Hedao stage cultivators in Feng Hong District likely came from him.
But fortunately, Li Qi was not overly concerned about the Hedao Pills that caused other regions to have Hedao stage cultivators.
Newly breakthrough Hedao stage cultivators appeared powerful, but that was only in comparison to Void Returning stage cultivators.
In reality, they wouldn't even need to face someone like Xu Tianzong, who was at the seventh level of Hedao.
Perhaps a cultivator at the fourth or fifth level of Hedao, if they truly had to deal with a first-level Hedao cultivator, that first-level Hedao cultivator would have little power to resist, at most, they could only flee.
As for those first-level Hedao cultivators, if they were even more unlucky and encountered Li Qi one day, they would probably be blown apart with a single punch.
Since he could blow them apart with a single punch, there was no significant difference between a first-level Hedao cultivator and an ordinary person in front of Li Qi.
Overall, for these small regions with strong combat power, those below the third level of Hedao could barely be considered mid-to-high tier combatants.
But true top-tier combat power still depended on individuals like Xu Tianzong, who were above the seventh level of Hedao.
"I wonder what Xu Tianzong will do."
Li Qi's gaze fell on Xu Tianzong, and he saw that Xu Tianzong's expression was also unpleasant, clearly aware of how strong Feng Hong District's combat power was.
Xu Tianzong took a deep breath and looked at the two Hedao stage cultivators from Feng Hong District standing before him.
Xu Tianzong cupped his hands and said.
"So it's Fellow Daoist He and Fellow Daoist Ma from Feng Hong Realm. Since you two have already taken down this Chi Ri District, I naturally wouldn't dare to insist on anything. I shall leave now."
Xu Tianzong was prepared to back down.
After all, he knew how terrifying the power displayed by one ninth-level Hedao and one seventh-level Hedao cultivator could be.
Even though Xu Tianzong knew Li Qi was very strong, he didn't believe their chances of winning in a real fight were high.
Moreover, there were so many Plane Lords from the Minor Yan Districts beside him.
If a fight broke out, even the residual waves would cause severe casualties to these Minor Yan District Plane Lords.
Therefore, Xu Tianzong chose to back down, as their strength was too overwhelming.
Forcing a confrontation out of pride would not be something an old fox like Xu Tianzong, who had lived for thousands of years, would do.
Furthermore, out of the six districts, they had only harvested three in total. Including this Chi Ri District, which Feng Hong District had preempted, there were still two districts left, which would be enough for the Plane Lords of the Minor Yan Districts to make a substantial profit.
With this thought, Xu Tianzong turned around, once again lifting the landing spot with his palm, and prepared to change direction towards the other two districts.
But the next moment.
The calm voice of He Anfeng, the ninth-level Hedao cultivator, rang out again.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, are you preparing to go to Bing Meng District and Fang Gu District? If that is your intention, then Fellow Daoist Xu should just return to the Minor Yan District. Those two districts have also surrendered to our Feng Hong District."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzong, who was about to leave, froze. A grim look flashed in his eyes.
Bing Meng District and Fang Gu District.
These were the names of the last two districts remaining out of the six.
These guys from Feng Hong District! Their greed was truly insatiable.
Xu Tianzong clenched his fists, his bones cracking.
He took a deep breath.
But alas, if he were to truly turn hostile now, it might give the two from Feng Hong District an excuse to attack the Minor Yan District.
Just then.
Xu Tianzong's expression changed slightly.
It was Li Qi's voice that rang out.
"Since you from Feng Hong District have dealt with these three districts, who should I go to for my Heavenly Dao Will share?"
The two Hedao stage cultivators, who had already considered Xu Tianzong captured, had their mocking expressions instantly shift upon hearing Li Qi's words.
Their pair of cold eyes immediately fixed on the source of the voice.
They stared directly at Li Qi, who was inside the landing spot and had only just reached the second level of Hedao.
He Anfeng's side, the seventh-level Hedao cultivator, looked at Li Qi with cold eyes.
"We were conversing with the strongest individual in your Minor Yan District, and where do you, a mere second-level Hedao brat, have the right to interrupt? Does this mean your Minor Yan District is declaring war on our Feng Hong District?"
As the words fell, the terrifying spiritual energy of the seventh-level Hedao cultivator erupted, and the oppressive aura of a seventh-level Hedao cultivator emerged.
He intended to use Li Qi's remark as a pretext to escalate the situation.
"Die for me."
The seventh-level Hedao cultivator brought his palm down, directly towards the landing spot.
This palm strike not only covered Li Qi but also Gu Mengping beside Li Qi, as well as numerous Plane Lords from the Minor Yan Districts.
Under this palm strike, let alone the Void Returning stage Plane Lords of the Minor Yan Districts, even Gu Mengping, who was at the first level of Hedao, felt the pressure of death.
The gap between the first level of Hedao and the seventh level of Hedao was indeed that vast.
Seeing this, Xu Tianzong's face instantly turned grim.
But the next moment, his heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed something.
He turned his head and saw that He Anfeng, the strongest of Feng Hong District, was also looking at Xu Tianzong with a faint gaze.
It seemed that as long as Xu Tianzong made a move, he could also use it as an excuse to kill Xu Tianzong directly and then annex the Minor Yan District.
Unless... unless Xu Tianzong could stand by and watch Li Qi die under this palm strike, along with many Minor Yan District Plane Lords.
In that case, even if the seventh-level Hedao cultivator killed Li Qi, there would be no other pretext to make a move again.
Everything seemed to be proceeding very smoothly.
But unfortunately, both of them had miscalculated one point.
Li Qi, who appeared to be only at the second level of Hedao, possessed true combat strength far beyond that.
Looking at the terrifying palm descending from above, aiming to crush Li Qi, the numerous Minor Yan District Plane Lords, and even the entire landing spot.
Li Qi's expression was not panicked. He slightly raised his head and looked towards the sky above the landing spot.
In the sky, there was a formation aura that only he could sense.
This was a new type of formation that Li Qi had researched and created over the past few years.
"I wonder how powerful it is. I'll use you to test it."
With this thought.
His divine sense shot out, and on the sky of the landing spot, incredibly profound formation patterns suddenly appeared.
Each of these formations was capable of individually contending against cultivators at the first or even second level of Hedao.
And at this moment.
These formations, under Li Qi's control.
Were instantly superimposed.
A somewhat heart-palpitating aura emerged from within.
At the same time, Li Qi's expression was calm as he looked at the massive palm preparing to shatter the entire landing spot.
Li Qi flicked his finger.
The superimposed formations whirled madly.
