Chapter 2917: Again Infiltrating

The Heavenly River Sword Saint looked pensive. If Luo Xiao hadn't arrived, he truly would have killed Yan Que. Eliminating Yan Que would severely weaken the Spiritfire race, which would benefit humanity's development.

The Yaksha race possessed powerful physiques and mastered sonic attacks, making them more formidable than the Spiritfire race. Luo Xiao's ability to withstand his flying sword with his physical body was the best proof of this.

The Heavenly River Sword Saint had no problem fighting two opponents simultaneously, but even if he could eliminate Yan Que, he would pay a significant price. Most importantly, if he fought to the death with Luo Xiao and Yan Que, the Spiritfire and Yaksha races might retreat, placing humanity under greater pressure. After all, he wasn't certain if the Lizard race's Mahayana cultivator had perished.

If he were 100% certain that the Lizard race's Mahayana cultivator had died, the Heavenly River Sword Saint would have directly flattened the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range.

"Destroy the Lizard race? Are you sure old man Yi is dead?" the Heavenly River Sword Saint asked.

"I'm not sure. If I were, I would have already moved to level the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range. With our three races joining forces, it doesn't matter whether old man Yi is alive or not," Luo Xiao said gravely. With three Mahayana cultivators working together, even if the Lizard race's Mahayana cultivator was alive, they wouldn't be their match.

"Join forces? Are we attacking the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range now?" the Heavenly River Sword Saint continued to ask. If so, it would prevent many deaths.

Since the war began, humanity had suffered significant losses, and several allied races were crippled. However, they had also gained substantial benefits. Humanity would properly resettle the crippled allied races, preventing them from continuing as cannon fodder, as they would still be needed on the front lines in future racial wars.

"The Lizard race had three Mahayana cultivators during their peak, so they must have powerful trump cards. Let the younger generation deal with the Lizard race. We'll command from the rear and slowly uncover the Lizard race's trump cards. Any treasures found will belong to whoever obtains them. As for the territories controlled by the Lizard race, there's no need for internal strife. Our top priority now is to destroy the Lizard race. We can settle our grievances later, how about that?" Luo Xiao said solemnly.

Yan Que was in a very poor state. If they broke through the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range, it would be impossible to divide the treasures equally, and if they fought, they might not gain the upper hand.

The Heavenly River Sword Saint pondered for a moment, then nodded. "No problem. I hope you can keep your people in line. Let's first occupy the Lizard race's territories and advance step by step!"

Conquering the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range now would yield limited benefits for humanity.

Xuan Qingzi was cultivating his Spirit Domain. If his divine abilities reached completion, humanity could gain much more.

The Lizard race's East Yi Bead was indeed excellent for surviving the Grand Heavenly Tribulation, but the Lizard race's Mahayana cultivator hadn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, so they might have died during the tribulation, and the East Yi Bead was likely gone.

If the Lizard race's Mahayana cultivator was alive, they would surely carry the East Yi Bead. If they were dead, the East Yi Bead was probably also gone. Luo Xiao was right; the Lizard race had a long heritage and many hidden trump cards, and Yan Que had only suffered a minor setback.

"It's a deal," Luo Xiao readily agreed.

The Heavenly River Sword Saint withdrew his flying sword and transformed into a blue streak of light, soaring into the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, congratulations! It's been many years; I didn't expect you to have advanced to the mid-Mahayana stage," Yan Que congratulated Luo Xiao, his face filled with envy.

"I only advanced to the mid-stage recently. I wonder how long old man Lin has been in the mid-stage. We might not have the advantage if we fight him now. I've acquired some excellent materials; if you help me forge them into treasures, we might gain the upper hand in our next encounter with him," Luo Xiao said confidently. He wasn't skilled in artifact refining. To obtain high-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, he either had to seek them out, have his clan members refine them, or gather materials and ask Yan Que for help.

The Yaksha race had Level Seven artifact refiners, but their refining skills were still considerably inferior to Yan Que's, and their efficiency couldn't compare.

"Valuable treasures? No problem, but my current condition is a bit poor; I need some time to recuperate," Yan Que agreed, his voice sounding somewhat weak.

They left the area, disappearing into the horizon.

In a hidden underground cave, the air was damp, and the rock walls were covered in moss. A large hole in the ceiling allowed some sunlight to filter in.

Wang Chuanming and others were gathered together, silent.

Their last attack on an alien stronghold was effortless, yielding great riches.

Leng Yue and Liao Zhongyan stood together, their expressions solemn.

After a while, the rock wall split open, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged, followed by a plump old man in a red robe. The old man had a high nose, long ears, and some blood-colored spirit patterns on his arms and face, with blood-red eyes, clearly indicating he was not human.

"Succeeded?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled. The Green Lotus Immortals claimed they could use illusions to make low-level cultivators cooperate with them, forbidding others from observing the casting process. Leng Yue naturally didn't believe them; she suspected the Green Lotus Immortals were raising Level Six Purple Soul Corpse Control Insects, which allowed them to control low-level cultivators.

Last time, Wang Changsheng had made a Lizard race Void Refinement cultivator cooperate with them, leading them into the Lizard stronghold to launch a coordinated attack from within and without, successfully conquering a stronghold.

This time, they planned to repeat the tactic, but Leng Yue had suffered a loss last time and was unwilling to infiltrate the Lizard stronghold, and neither was Liao Zhongyan. They preferred to receive a smaller share of the wealth than to risk infiltrating the enemy's lair.

Leng Yue had already infiltrated once. Liao Zhongyan was backed by the Profound Azure Sect, so Wang Changsheng didn't argue with them. A forced melon isn't sweet, and it was more convenient for him and Wang Ruyan to act together.

"Yes, we succeeded. You wait for our signal outside. We'll infiltrate the stronghold. There might be special restrictions within the stronghold, so we can't send you messages. If there's any anomaly inside, attack the stronghold immediately," Wang Changsheng said gravely.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, rest assured, we will fully cooperate with you," Liao Zhongyan readily agreed. Last time they attacked a stronghold, she didn't exert much effort but gained a large sum of wealth. She believed this time would be no exception.

Leng Yue also agreed. She didn't have a good impression of the Green Lotus Immortals, but in the face of immense profit, she wouldn't betray Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Even if she wanted to, Liao Zhongyan might not agree.

The Liao family was backed by the Profound Azure Sect, making it very difficult to get Liao Zhongyan to join her in harming the Green Lotus Immortals.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and the red-robed old man exited the cave. Once outside, the red-robed old man shook his sleeve, and a clear bird call echoed. A giant red-bodied goshawk flew out of a spirit beast bracelet and landed before them.

The red-robed old man stepped onto the back of the red goshawk, followed closely by Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng took out the Green Chi Bead and infused it with magical power. A large cloud of green mist surged out, enveloping Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

A gentle breeze blew, and they disappeared.

The green goshawk's wings gently flapped, soaring high into the sky.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the green goshawk appeared above a continuous chain of verdant mountains. In front of them stood a giant peak, ten thousand zhang tall, with many buildings on it. Numerous alien figures could be seen.

At the foot of the mountain stood a green stone archway, with two guards nearby.

A ten-zhang tall green stone tablet stood at the base of the mountain, inscribed with the three large red characters "Fei Long Shan."

As the red goshawk approached within ten thousand zhang of Fei Long Mountain, its speed slowed, finally stopping at the entrance of the stone archway.

"Bu Yao, why did it take you so long to return this time?" a guard greeted with a smile.
