"Lake Jiuquan" is a new name, because the surface of the lake by the curved back and forth by the land to form a large number of curved water, the lake has the city name "Jiuquan." The Nine Winding City did not have a city lord, but was controlled by the three major powers: the peak Nascent Soul stage rogue cultivator Zhou Fei from the Kunlun Immortal Realm, the late Nascent Soul stage rogue cultivator Hu Zhonglong, the Hu Zhonghu brothers, and the peak Nascent Soul stage wolf demon Jiao Lang.

Rogue cultivators had a large number of people in the cultivation world, but their status was very low. Because most of them were weak, they were either recruited by major powers or killed. Most of the rogue cultivators came from the lowest level of cultivators. Because of the limited resources, the big powers would only train people with potential, so a large number of people who could cultivate but were not outstanding could only become rogue cultivators.

There was also a portion of rogue cultivators who came from a declining power of different ranks. There were times when families would be exterminated in the cultivation world, and the members of these failed families could only become rogue cultivators. Therefore, Jiu Qu City was a place where both the fish and the dragons mixed together, and there weren't any excellent resources nearby. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the turn of the rogue cultivators to build the city, it was merely a commercial city that gradually developed along with the trading needs of the rogue cultivators.

The places where people came and went were always well-informed. Therefore, Li Ying and Chen Yun'er chose the Nine Supremes City as their hiding place. After a short inquiry, the two directly went to Hu Zhong Long and Hu Zhong Hu's base camp, the Hu Jia Stronghold. They easily took care of the two and then became the masterminds behind Hu Zhong's stronghold.

The Deity Stage, Anti-Void Stage, and even Body Fusion cultivators were running all over the place, so the scene of Li Ying getting injured happened. The two women could only bear with it and rarely took any actions to assassinate him, and most of them were collecting all kinds of information, especially news about the 'Star River Alliance'. Nie Changfeng kept the location of the alliance a secret too strictly. No one knew where it was.

When the Star River Union's operation plan was extended to Nine Song City, Hu Jia Castle, as one of the three tyrants of Nine Song City, naturally got the publicity materials. However, it was not sent by the Star River Union, but rather sent by the Liu Family's hired rogue cultivators. The duo could only look at the promotional materials excitedly, but they were still unable to find the location of the 'organization'.

The promotional materials also mentioned that the separated compatriots on Earth could seek help from the Liu Family, Zhuge Family and other members of the alliance to find the organization. However, the two of them had been messing around with the lower level Rogue Cultivators and didn't have any opportunity to come into contact with the top powers, nor did they dare to carelessly look around. They had seen too much of the ugliness and evilness of the cultivation world.

The days of waiting were hard to bear, but there was an end to it. On the 20th of May, this year, the news about the official establishment of the Star River Union finally came, and after everyone found out the location of the headquarters, Li Ying and Chen Yun'er quietly left the Nine Winding City to find the waterfall.

The Milky Way Alliance and the Heavenly Court Alliance had yet to start a war, and the most they could do was to fight in the dark. The surrounding area of the Alliance Headquarters was only monitored and not locked down, so the two of them finally arrived at the Alliance Headquarters safely. Seeing the familiar buildings at the Alliance Headquarters, Tiananmen Gate, Golden Bridge, General Assembly Hall... The two of them knew that from now on, they would no longer have to live in loneliness and fear.

After the declaration by the Alliance, more than 200,000 survivors like Li Ying and Chen Yun'er returned to Earth one after another. After going through countless hardships and dangers, they developed a strong mentality and also formed an almost perfect foundation for training.

After Li Ying and Chen Yun'er entered the Alliance's HQ, they were arranged to study and train together with their fellow countrymen who had returned, these Earth humans that had accumulated to the limit would very quickly attract heavenly tribulation.

Nie Changfeng had intentionally placed the tribulation area not far from the headquarters, so that everyone could see it. He thought it was like a parade, a way to show his strength, and for the sake of safety, he also personally guarded this place to protect his tribulation brethren.

As expected, Li Ying and Chen Yun'er successfully crossed the tribulation. Li Ying's strength had risen to the early stage of the anti-void stage. Chen Yun'er was even more terrifying, and her strength had reached the peak of the anti-void stage. What made Nie Changfeng pleasantly surprised was that among all his compatriots, besides the origin rules, Chen Yun'er was the first one to reach a higher level than the five elements rules.

Nie Changfeng was a person who carried the laws of Yin and Yang with him. He was well aware of how powerful the laws of this realm were, so he placed great importance on Chen Yun'er. After the tribulation of hundreds of people, Nie Changfeng briefly encouraged everyone to go back and consolidate their cultivation base. At the same time, he also asked Chen Yun'er to go and find him for something else.

Three days later, Nie Changfeng was in his office studying the improvement of a certain clan's cultivation technique. Chen Yun'er came to report, and she even brought Li Ying with her because Li Ying had strongly requested to see Nie Changfeng. Nie Changfeng was a little doubtful. He felt that Li Ying looked a little familiar, but he had seen too many people who had turned into handsome men and beautiful women due to the good fortune of great tribulation, so he still couldn't think of a reason.

It seemed that his memory of those days without cultivation was not very good. Li Ying suddenly asked, "Do you often drink at the roadside stall of Xiangjiang Street in Binhai City?" Nie Changfeng's head buzzed as he returned to those years when he was struggling with his life. After working hard for half the night, he would always go to the roadside stall to eat supper and drink some beer before going to sleep.

Almost every time, the same little girl would bring him some wine. As time passed, when the little girl was not busy, he would call her to drink a little with him, but in the end, he never asked her for her name. The difference in age was a little too big, so he didn't dare to have any thoughts about it.

The memory of the little girl and Li Ying's appearance slowly merged together. Nie Changfeng stood up in surprise and said, "So it's you!" You're still alive! "Great, I can drink with you again!" At the side, Chen Yun'er pretended to be sad as she said, "I'm also selling wine there, why haven't you bought my wine before?"

Nie Changfeng thought for a while, but still couldn't remember anything. He asked Yun'er what she wanted to sell, and the answer was' Northern Beer. 'Nie Changfeng disdainfully said that the wine was as light as water and didn't even seem to be drinkable by ghosts. He was almost drowned out by Chen Yun'er's aggrieved gaze.

Good wine and good food service are essential for a sudden meeting with an old friend. Nie Changfeng set up a hot pot in his yard and called for Liu Tianjiao and Bai Yiyan to gather together. Zhuge Yuanhong refused to drink a single drop of wine, and nothing could stop his madness in the building of the Alliance, so he naturally wouldn't come.

Bai Yiyan had resolutely come to participate in the ball with Liu Tianjiao present. Bai Jiu had come over to be despised by the crowd, saying that an old man would interrupt the young man's interest, so he had angrily gone to challenge Liu Suiyun to a duel.

The group of youngsters soon became one. Li Ying, Chen Yun'er, and Nie Changfeng each narrated their experiences over the years. Everyone sometimes gnashed their teeth, sometimes cried in grief, sometimes shook their souls, and sometimes laughed heartily.

Nie Changfeng took out a guitar from nowhere, and in the eyes of Liu Tianjiao and Bai Yiyan, there was a strange but pleasant tune to the guitar. Li Ying and Chen Yun'er began to sing a song that only existed in that world.

Under these circumstances, as the saying goes:

The withering of the rivers and mountains and the haggard of the people, I am destined to become a flower especially intoxicated.

It was hard to find a friend from the Vast Expanse in this world, and it was hard to find one.
