Chapter 3139: People Sitting at Home, Pots Falling from the Sky

The Peak of Green Lotus

Yi Ling's face was pale. She dared not return to her original stronghold and fled directly to Green Rhino Island.

Bu Feng was unaware that Green Rhino Island was another stronghold of the Lizard Clan. This was a long-established rule, designed to prevent all strongholds from being uprooted simultaneously. As for the clan members in her stronghold, they were likely doomed.

"Fellow Daoist Yi, what exactly happened? How did the human race find us?" Yi Ziyan asked with a frown.

Yi Ling dared not conceal anything and recounted the entire incident.

"What? The Level 7 Lightning Absorption Pearl was stolen by him?" Yi Ziyan frowned, stating that she didn't care about the lives of those clan members; if they died, they died, as they weren't her direct descendants. What she truly cared about was the Level 7 Lightning Absorption Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist Yi discovered that Level 7 Green Lightning Crane. We originally intended to bring it back to Heavenly Cloud Island and escort it to Green Rhino Island with Fellow Daoist Bu. Who would have thought that a Body Integration cultivator would appear? He cultivated blood-path techniques, and he was assisted by a Void Refinement cultivator skilled in spatial abilities. We fought desperately to break through the encirclement. Fellow Daoist Yi and Fellow Daoist Bu were killed. If my escape technique hadn't been exceptional, I would likely have met the same fate." As Yi Ling finished speaking, a look of lingering fear appeared on her face.

Naturally, she wouldn't mention her intention to monopolize the Level 7 Lightning Absorption Pearl, as that would appear too selfish. Of course, Yi Ziyan and the others had seen through her, but chose not to expose her. Putting themselves in her shoes, if they had obtained the Level 7 Lightning Absorption Pearl, they wouldn't have been willing to share it with other Body Integration cultivators either.

"A Void Refinement cultivator skilled in spatial abilities!" Bu Hao frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Bu, what's wrong? Do you know this person?" Yi Ziyan asked.

"According to reports from our spies within the human race, the Body Integration cultivator who attacked Fellow Daoist Yi strongly resembles Bloodblade True Monarch of the Bloodblade Sect. However, there's no word of Bloodblade True Monarch having any disciples who master spatial abilities. On the other hand, the Wang family is known to be searching for demonic beasts with spatial abilities," Bu Hao said slowly.

He was more inclined to believe the Wang family was behind it. His descendant had been killed by True Monarch Taihao, and he utterly detested True Monarch Taihao, so his thoughts naturally turned towards the Wang family. If he could incite the hatred of the overseas clan members against the Wang family, Bu Hao would have hope for revenge. As for the truth, Bu Hao didn't care.

"Bloodblade Sect! The Wang family!" Yi Ziyan's brows furrowed tightly as she pondered for a moment. She then ordered, "We can't stay here. We must immediately move to another stronghold. Spread the word that a human Body Integration cultivator is on a killing spree overseas."

Yi Lei and the other two didn't know much; at most, their knowledge was limited to this Green Rhino Island stronghold. As long as they retreated, the trail would be cut. Bu Hao and the others readily agreed and got to work.

In a certain expanse of azure sea, a streak of green escape light swiftly traversed the sky at an incredibly high speed. Ripples spread through the void, and the green escape light seemed to sink into a mire, unable to move. A burly young man in a green shirt appeared, his left arm missing, his eyes filled with terror. A dazzling golden giant blade shot from afar, piercing the young man in the green shirt. A miniature lizard flew out of his body and was confined in the void.

A young man in a golden shirt and Chu Feng flew over from a distance. The young man in the golden shirt grabbed the miniature lizard and performed a soul search. The miniature lizard let out a tragic cry, then disintegrated and vanished, evidently having a restriction planted to prevent soul searching.

"Another restriction planted, how troublesome!" The young man in the golden shirt frowned.

Chu Feng glanced at a small island below and said with a smile, "Never mind him. With the treasure from our Old Ancestor, we can find the Lizard Clan's strongholds overseas and uproot them one by one. Hmph, to oppose our Wang family is simply courting death."

"Indeed! Many of our clan members have died at the hands of the Lizard Clan. We absolutely cannot let them off. Our Old Ancestor is a Level 7 artifact refiner, and with that treasure in hand, we will definitely be able to eliminate all Lizard Clan strongholds," the young man in the golden shirt echoed, his face full of admiration.

They seized the valuables from the young man in the green shirt and departed from the location.

Half a day later, in the southwestern corner of the small island, a faint yellow light shone from a large rock, revealing a short, stout man in a yellow robe, his eyes filled with terror.

"The Wang family! Old Ancestor, Level 7 artifact refiner!" The man in the yellow robe muttered to himself and then submerged into the ground.

On a vast island, flames soared into the sky, and numerous buildings lay collapsed. Many withered corpses could be seen, their gruesome appearances suggesting their vital essence had been drained. In the northeastern corner of the island, on a towering peak, Bloodblade True Monarch stood at the summit, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Two streaks of escape light flew from a distance and landed before him; they were Chu Feng and the young man in the golden shirt.

"How did it go? Did you spread the news?" Bloodblade True Monarch asked.

Void Refinement stage Lizard Clan cultivators did not know the exact locations of other strongholds; only Body Integration cultivators possessed that knowledge. Even if he killed all the Lizard Clan cultivators on the island, he wouldn't find the other strongholds. Bloodblade True Monarch deliberately allowed some Lizard Clan cultivators to escape, then had Chu Feng and his clone pursue them. Chu Feng and Bloodblade True Monarch's clone intentionally chatted, letting the Lizard Clan cultivators know they were from the Wang family of Green Lotus Island, and that the Wang family possessed a great treasure capable of locating Lizard Clan strongholds. This was to force the Lizard Clan to evacuate their original strongholds, which might, in turn, allow Bloodblade True Monarch to find their new locations.

The three pieces of information—Level 7 artifact refiner, Old Ancestor, and the surname Wang—naturally pointed to True Monarch Taihao. Bloodblade True Monarch also intended to use this opportunity to annoy the Wang family. He simply wanted the Lizard Clan Body Integration cultivators to believe that there was a treasure capable of finding Lizard Clan strongholds, and since True Monarch Taihao was a Level 7 artifact refiner, he might indeed possess such a treasure. As for whether the Lizard Clan believed it or not, Bloodblade True Monarch had nothing to lose.

They had destroyed two Lizard Clan strongholds, acquiring multiple mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, as well as a Level 7 Lightning Absorption Pearl and a Level 7 Lightning Guiding Pearl, which constituted their greatest haul.

"It's been spread. Over ten Void Refinement cultivators know the news now. We hope these few who slipped through will spread the word, forcing the Lizard Clan cultivators to change their nests. Then we'll have our chance," Chu Feng said excitedly.

Bloodblade True Monarch nodded, summoned a blood-colored flying boat, and the three of them departed. Before leaving, he set a large fire to burn the corpses on the island.

Several months later, news spread that a human Body Integration cultivator was on a killing spree in this sea area, reportedly True Monarch Taihao. The strongholds of several minor clans were breached. Minor clans reported the incidents one after another, requesting Body Integration cultivators to intervene and deal with True Monarch Taihao, while also intensifying their own defenses.

In the Azure Glaze Sea, Green Lemon Island, an island on the border between the human race and the Witch Clan. The human race had mobilized a large number of masters, preparing to confront the Witch Clan. Green Lemon Island, controlled by Seven Swords Palace, had gathered a significant concentration of experts.

In a secluded small courtyard with green tiles, Wang Qingshan and six others were chatting in a stone pavilion. They had followed Xu Xin to Green Lemon Island, preparing to attack the Witch Clan, and Seven Swords Palace had assigned them a mission. Seven Swords Palace helped locate Wang Qingfeng, and upon learning that Wang Qingshan and the others were on Green Lemon Island, Wang Qingfeng also hurried over. Other forces dared not obstruct him and allowed him passage.

Wang Huanyu suddenly sneezed and frowned.
