Just as Jun Xiaoyao had subdued Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang on his side.
In another area of the Land of Immortal Remains.
Atop a towering ancient mountain.
A man with delicate features stood on the summit, his body radiating thick Luck.
It was none other than Dongfang Hao.
Beside him were several other figures.
Besides a few warriors from the Earth Emperor Palace.
There were also some experts from the local factions within the Land of Immortal Remains.
Among them, there were even two individuals who, like Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang, were ranked among the top ten Quasi-Emperor level experts in the Land of Immortal Remains.
"This time, I truly thank you all for your help. If not for you, I would not have been able to collect so many Luck Seeds."
Dongfang Hao smiled at those local experts.
"Not at all. Brother Dongfang, you are destined to be the Successor of the Earth Emperor Immortal Spirit Emperor. When that time comes, we will still need your assistance to help us leave the Land of Immortal Remains."
A powerful being covered in black scales said.
He was one of the top ten Quasi-Emperor level experts from the Yuan Demon Clan, a local faction of the Land of Immortal Remains.
"That is correct. As long as you can help us leave the Land of Immortal Remains, we are willing to help Brother Dongfang obtain more Luck Seeds."
Another being said.
He was tall and burly, his skin covered in cracks, appearing to have the texture of rock and soil.
He was also from a local faction of the Land of Immortal Remains, the Earth Spirit Clan.
"Then I will have to trouble you all," Dongfang Hao said.
Feeling the cyan-blue Luck Seed within his body, a smile curled at the corners of his lips.
How could plundering Luck Seeds himself be as fast as letting these natives do it?
"My Luck Seed should turn blue before long. Unfortunately, there is still a huge gap to reach purple."
Dongfang Hao thought to himself.
When he thought of the purple beam of light he had seen earlier.
And remembered that Jun Xiaoyao possessed a purple Luck Seed, he felt extremely displeased.
Whether in the Boundary Sea or the Origin Universe, Jun Xiaoyao was like a great mountain, pressing down on him so hard he could barely breathe.
"It doesn't matter. Once I truly obtain the Legacy of the Earth Emperor, I will possess the power to not fear Yun Xiao," Dongfang Hao thought secretly.
At this moment, the top expert from the Yuan Demon Clan spoke up: "Why has no one from the Ancient Peng Mountain arrived yet?"
Previously, besides the Yuan Demon Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan, the Ancient Peng Mountain had also been helping Dongfang Hao collect Luck.
But now, not a single being from the Ancient Peng Mountain had come.
"If they don't come, so be it. I am not forcing them," Dongfang Hao waved his hand.
"Very well, we will go and search for other Luck Seeds then."
After saying this, the experts from the Yuan Demon Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan departed.
Dongfang Hao watched them leave and smiled slightly.
This feeling of winning without effort was not bad at all.
A moment later, a woman suddenly appeared behind Dongfang Hao.
She wore a long dress that looked somewhat luxurious, her figure was quite good, and her appearance was beautiful.
She reached out with her jade-like hand, tugged at the corner of Dongfang Hao's robe, and acted coy and coquettish, saying intimately:
"Brother Hao, don't forget the promise you made to me."
Seeing the woman acting coquettishly, Dongfang Hao smiled slightly.
"Of course, I could never forget what you said, Yingying."
This woman had a significant background.
She was a woman Dongfang Hao had accidentally saved while out on a training journey.
She came from the Yuding Merchant Alliance and was a Young Miss of a major faction within the Yuding Merchant Alliance, named Zhong Yingying.
And this Zhong Yingying had a very good impression of Dongfang Hao, who had played the hero to save a beauty.
Later, their relationship became increasingly intimate.
Through this, Dongfang Hao had also established a connection with the Yuding Merchant Alliance.
As for the Yuding Merchant Alliance, upon learning that Dongfang Hao came from the Earth Emperor Palace and was one of the Successors of the Earth Emperor,
they regarded him very highly and formed a friendly relationship with him.
Now, it could be said that Zhong Yingying and the Yuding Merchant Alliance had a significant relationship with Dongfang Hao.
Zhong Yingying spoke: "That Yue Nianjun is my competitor in the Yuding Merchant Alliance. She is a Young Miss from another faction of the Yuding Merchant Alliance."
"This time, she has also entered the Land of Immortal Remains. Brother Hao, you promised to help me deal with her."
The Yuding Merchant Alliance was a massive merchant organization in the Origin Universe.
It contained various factions, but it was mainly led by a few prominent Families.
The Family Zhong Yingying belonged to was one of the leaders of the Yuding Merchant Alliance.
And the woman she spoke of, named Yue Nianjun, was a Young Miss who had suddenly appeared in another leading faction some time ago.
Not only was she exceptionally talented, but she also had extraordinary means, helping the Yuding Merchant Alliance handle quite a few troublesome matters.
Thus, she rose to fame, completely overshadowing Zhong Yingying's reputation.
The power struggle within the Yuding Merchant Alliance was very intense, especially among the several leading Families.
Therefore, Zhong Yingying naturally did not want Yue Nianjun to outshine her.
"I understand. In the future, the power of the Yuding Merchant Alliance will naturally be controlled by your Family, Yingying."
"And once I obtain the Legacy of the Earth Emperor and become the true, sole Successor of the Earth Emperor, your Family will also be able to leverage that power to control the Yuding Merchant Alliance," Dongfang Hao said.
"Mm, thank you, Brother Hao. But for now, I still hope to teach that Yue Nianjun a lesson," Zhong Yingying said.
"Very well. I will have the natives of the Land of Immortal Remains take action, track down their whereabouts, and teach them a lesson to vent your anger."
Dongfang Hao patted Zhong Yingying's head dotingly.
Zhong Yingying also smiled, looking sweet.
But she did not see the indifference in Dongfang Hao's eyes.
Although this Zhong Yingying was a beauty, that was about it.
What Dongfang Hao mainly cared about was the power of the Yuding Merchant Alliance.
After all, having been persecuted all along the way, he understood the importance of a background and power base.
Whether it was his mortal enemy Dongfang Aoyue, Jun Xiaoyao, or his competitor Yun Xi.
None of them lacked a background or a backer.
And he, Dongfang Hao, had nothing.
Later, he had finally managed to grasp the Earth Emperor Palace as a backer.
But the Earth Emperor Palace did not completely acknowledge him.
There was also that faction of Saint King Fuyao, who supported Yun Xi.
Therefore, Dongfang Hao needed a reliable background and power base.
The Yuding Merchant Alliance was Dongfang Hao's target.
That was why he wanted to win over Zhong Yingying to gain the support of the Yuding Merchant Alliance.
"Yue Nianjun..."
Dongfang Hao muttered this name in his heart.
For some reason, it always gave him an unpleasant feeling.
Afterwards, Dongfang Hao had the natives of the Land of Immortal Remains search for the whereabouts of Yue Nianjun.
A few days later, the Yuan Demon Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan did indeed find some traces.
But it was not of Yue Nianjun, but rather of a maid by her side.
Searching for resources in a treasure-hunting location.
Dongfang Hao directly arranged for the natives of the Land of Immortal Remains to capture that maid of Yue Nianjun.
And just as the Yuan Demon Clan, the Earth Spirit Clan, and other factions went to capture the maid by Yue Nianjun's side.
On this side, Jun Xiaoyao, riding on Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang, was also traveling deep into the area.
He had originally intended for Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang to take him directly to find Dongfang Hao.
But halfway there.
A sensation suddenly arose in Jun Xiaoyao's heart.
That sensation came from the mark he had planted.
"Hmm, is it her?"
Detecting someone's aura, Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"She is here, that means..." Jun Xiaoyao understood in his heart.
He directly ordered Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang to fly in another direction.
