. Lu Xiaoteng's injuries were even more serious than he had imagined. Although this could be explained, after all, Lu Xiaoteng had previously repelled Xiong Ba and even injured him. It was impossible...Compared to the confusion and departure of various individuals in Lu Xiaoteng's three-product alchemy master territory, more people within Jiuyang City remained focused on Lu Xiaoteng's alleged betrayal of Honghao Heavenly Court.

"Ha, have you heard Back then, Dongfang Dansheng, the Eastern Saint of Alchemy, chose to travel the fairy world in search of a breakthrough opportunity beyond the Heavenly Immortal realm. He sought that chance among all things in heaven and earth. For so many years, there's been no news of him. Many people thought that since Dongfang Dansheng hadn't broken through, he wouldn't dare return to Jiuyang City with shame. Who would have thought that Dongfang Dansheng had actually already achieved a breakthrough!" A middle-aged man, flushed red from drinking and with blurry eyes, chuckled in a noisy tavern in the main city.

“Indeed, he didn't just ascend to a higher rank. It is said that he single-handedly battled thirteen celestial immortal law enforcers, killing three and severely injuring several others. The rest would have been wiped out if they hadn't escaped quickly. Just in these few years, others thought that when Eastern Dan Saint hadn't ascended, even dozens of celestial immortal law enforcers wouldn't be enough for him to handle.” Another elder with a sparse beard on his chin also sighed.

It is said that the thirteen Heavenly Immortal Executioners were incredibly powerful, and their combined might was formidable. They held a high position within the Palace of Celestial Punishment. However, they unfortunately met their match in Dongfang Dan Saint. Even before his ascension, Dongfang Dan Saint could sweep through the celestial court of Yu Xuan Tian, such a prodigy whose brilliance would never be overshadowed, regardless of his realm.

“Thirteen celestial officers, they are not worthy to even move against the Eastern Saint of Alchemy! You know that the Eastern Saint of Alchemy single-handedly opened a passage to the lower realm, bringing his disciples to the Immortal Realm. Such astonishing supernatural powers are probably beyond even the capabilities of Golden Immortal powerhouses. If it wasn't for the immense consumption caused by this feat, those thirteen celestial officers wouldn't even be worthy of tying the Eastern Saint of Alchemy's shoes.”

“Yes, I heard that the thirteen celestial officers threatened Eastern Saint's disciples and forced Eastern Saint to submit. But Eastern Saint refused to give up his disciples, so there was a conflict under these officers' relentless pressure.”

“Our Nine Heavens City’s unnamed Lord, along with the Eastern Saint of Dan, are indeed unparalleled. In my opinion, the Eastern Saint of Dan possesses such extraordinary talent for cultivation that it is only a matter of time before he ascends to the Golden Vault of Dao. It's a pity that he was forced into rebellion by the Heavenly Punishment Palace. What a shame.”

“Who said it wasn't I don't know what Tianxing Palace got into, they're so deliberately trying to suppress the talents of Tiandan Palace.”

“Although the Eastern Divine Saint claimed there was a reason for his actions, if he hadn't killed the imperial officers, there might have been room to salvage the situation. But now that several imperial officers are dead, things have become irreparable. The Heavenly Law is the Heavenly Law; once it is violated, one must inevitably face punishment. Now that the Eastern Divine Saint is on the run, he is no different from a traitor to Heaven.” At this time, a middle-aged scholar fanned himself and said.

"Bah! This was all forced upon Dongfang Dansheng by those law enforcers. If you ask me, Dongfang Dansheng is a man of true temperament. For his disciples in the lower realm, he was willing to risk the dangers of the backlash from inter-dimensional power. If not for those law enforcers threatening his disciples, how could they have forced Dongfang Dansheng's hand This is their own fault! Even if they wanted to punish him, couldn't they have waited for Dongfang Dansheng to return before consulting Heaven's Decree Why did they have to be so aggressive and act rashly In the end, they ended up losing everything—they failed to capture anyone and only managed to incriminate themselves." The drunkard scolded.

"If Dongfang Dansheng hadn't resisted back then, would he have allowed the Tianxing Palace people to execute his disciples Compared to those who abandon everything for their own selfish interests and in pursuit of the Immortal Dao, Dongfang Dansheng is truly a man of compassion and integrity!" Gu Jue At this time, someone else joined the ranks of refutation.

“Although that's the case, Dongfang Dansheng was truly pushed to a corner. Your information is outdated. The Heavenly Punishment Palace sent assassins to kill the celestial-rank members of the Punishment Palace, but they were all cut down by Dongfang Dansheng. Seven were killed, and eight were severely injured. The 10,000 immortal army led by the Heavenly Punishment Palace was defeated in a single battle by Dongfang Dansheng, with heavy casualties. Although this matter originated from the Heavenly Punishment Palace, there is no room for reconciliation anymore.” At this time, someone sighed again, “Things have escalated to a point where they are difficult to contain.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What, the celestial army formation led by a dozen Heavenly Immortals was also broken by Dongfang Dansheng, suffering such heavy losses Is this true When and where did this happen" At that moment, the entire restaurant was shocked.

"In the Tianfeng Stone Realm, the Tiangong used the Tianfeng Stone Mirror to locate the whereabouts of Dongfang Dansheng. The two sides clashed as a result. Things are certain and undeniable. Even ordinary celestial beings are already difficult to deal with Dongfang Dansheng. It is said that Tiangong has prepared to deploy cultivators at the level of Golden Immortals to pursue Dongfang Dansheng's trail. Alas, such a promising third-grade alchemy saint. If given time, Dongfang Dansheng didn't know what heights he could reach. It's truly a pity."

Though most of the patrons in the tavern leaned towards Lu Xia Tian's side, at this moment they didn't feel there was any room for reconciliation. In the end, all that was left were sighs.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian sat cross-legged among a pile of rubble. Around him were the remains of several warships, with wisps of smoke constantly rising from them. Lu Xia Tian didn't feel much regret for these losses. It had been several months since he left Muye. Along the way, Lu Xia Tian had tried his best to conceal his whereabouts, but he still underestimated the depth of the Honghao Heavenly Court.

At this time, no Golden Immortal-level experts had come to pursue him. However, according to Lu Xia Tian's calculations, the Heavenly Punishment Palace probably wouldn't be able to hold back, especially after this battle. Of course, it might be a few minutes later. After all, the Heavenly Punishment Palace might not have expected Lu Xia Tian to be so troublesome. The people sent by the other side would certainly be more than just one wave. Before encountering the Golden Immortal experts of Hong Hao Heaven Court, there would likely be several battles.

In the battle in Tianfeng Stone Territory, things became extremely dangerous. The fifteen Heavenly Immortal experts on the opposite side were in a similar situation to Huo Gang and his people, with their own realms of perception overlapping. However, these Heavenly Immortals primarily cultivated earthen laws and art, wielding the Tianfeng Immortal Mirror. This mirror held immense power within the Tianfeng Stone Territory. They had anticipated that Lu Xiaoteng would transfer through the pastures, as he could leverage the power of the interface to escape the pursuit of Jinxian cultivators. However, using the Tianfeng Immortal Mirror, they stirred the entire Tianfeng Stone Territory's energy. Even though Lu Xiaoteng was skilled at hiding his presence, some clues were still revealed.

However, at this time, the group of law enforcers hadn't discovered Lu Xiaoteng's precise location and dispatched several branches of the Immortal Army. There were direct forces from the Heavenly Punishment Palace, as well as Immortal Army summoned from nearby Immortal Realms. They focused on searching key suspicious areas, and ultimately found Lu Xiaoteng.
