Chapter 3143: Infiltrating the Witch Clan Internal

In a certain sea region, three men and one woman were locked in combat. Two of the men, whose features were quite similar, were Human cultivators, while the other man and woman were Witch cultivators.

They all activated their Dharma Idols to attack their enemies.

A series of thunderous explosions rang out, reverberating across the heavens. Powerful air currents ripped the vegetation from a small island below, grinding it to dust.

A thick blue light barrier enveloped the two men. A massive azure fireball descended from the sky, striking the blue light barrier. Even through the barrier, the two men could feel an astonishing heat.

With a flash of azure light, a colossal, misty azure seal appeared out of nowhere and slammed towards them. The two men hastily activated their Dharma Idols to defend themselves.

A piercing whoosh filled the air as a golden spear and an entirely white ice spear shot towards them. The blue light barrier rippled and instantly shattered.

Two screams rang out as the golden spear and white ice spear pierced through the bodies of the two men, engulfing their forms. As soon as their two miniature Nascent Souls left their bodies, they were enveloped by a purple glow and swept into a purple gourd.

Besides curse techniques, the Witch Clan also excelled in insect manipulation arts.

"To dare to pursue us at the Refinement Void stage is suicidal," a graceful woman in a purple dress scoffed. With a flick of her hand sign, the golden spear transformed into over a hundred thousand Vajra Worms and flew back into her Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Let's leave soon! It will be troublesome if the Human major forces catch up to us," a tall, thin man in a white robe urged. With a flick of his hand sign, the white ice spear transformed into over a hundred thousand Ice Crystal Ants and vanished into the Spirit Beast Bracelet on his hand.

They collected the belongings and bodies of the two Human cultivators and prepared to leave the area.

A loud shout from a man rang out, causing the bodies of the purple-dressed woman and the white-robed man to tremble.

With a flash of red light, a misty red giant pagoda appeared out of nowhere, spraying a hazy red glow that enveloped the two and swept them into the pagoda.

A long red rainbow flew over; it was Wang Qingfeng.

With a flick of his hand sign, the red giant pagoda quickly shrank and disappeared into his sleeve.

He flew back along the path he came. An hour later, he appeared above a small island about a hundred li in circumference. He flew into a hidden cave, where Wang Qingshan, Dong Xueli, and Wang Xiangrong were already present.

"We've caught two more Refinement Void cultivators. Both are at the early Refinement Void stage, not weak, and possess sixth-tier spiritual insects. Their status within the Witch Clan should be considerable," Wang Qingfeng said with a smile. He conjured a small red pagoda, cast a hand sign into it, and the red pagoda instantly expanded and landed on the ground.

"I hope it succeeds! We have failed twelve times already," Wang Qingshan said in a deep voice.

If they succeeded, it would be considered a great merit. If they failed and perished, the family would select several of their descendants as key cultivation targets, while also distributing several times the normal compensation, depending on their cultivation level.

If a Soul Transformation stage clansman's physical body was destroyed and they failed in cultivating the Spirit Fusion Great Art, the family would select five of their descendants for focused cultivation and provide three times the normal compensation. For Refinement Void cultivators, ten descendants would be chosen for focused cultivation, receiving five times the normal compensation. When their descendants attempted to break through major cultivation stages, the family would provide formations, elixirs, talismans, and treasures, doing their utmost to help them advance to higher realms.

Heavy rewards motivate brave individuals. Coupled with Cui Yao taking the lead, many clansmen whose physical bodies were destroyed were willing to cultivate the Spirit Fusion Great Art. They had failed twelve times so far, with eight Nascent Soul stage and four Soul Transformation stage clansmen perishing.

Now, only the Nascent Souls of two Refinement Void cultivators remained. Cui Yao was one of them, and they hoped for success.

Wang Qingshan strode into the red giant pagoda and began cultivating the Spirit Fusion Great Art on the two Witch Clan Refinement Void cultivators.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wang Qingshan emerged, followed by a young woman in a purple dress and a man in a white robe.

"It succeeded!" Wang Qingfeng sighed in relief, a joyful expression on his face.

The young woman in the purple dress was Cui Yao, and the man in the white robe was Wang Yonghao. Wang Yonghao had already advanced to the Refinement Void stage.

By cultivating the Spirit Fusion Great Art and merging with the Witch Clan cultivators, they could now use Witch Clan divine abilities, such as curse techniques.

Of course, the drawbacks of the Spirit Fusion Great Art were also apparent. When attempting to break through major cultivation stages, the power of the lightning tribulation would be considerably greater. The higher their cultivation, the more formidable the tribulation for major breakthroughs, far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators. With the Wang family backing them, the family would do their utmost to assist them if needed.

"First, familiarize yourselves with the Witch Clan bodies, as well as their cultivation techniques and divine abilities. Once you've adapted, then return to the Witch Clan," Wang Qingshan advised.

"The Witch Clan is consolidating their forces, so now is the best time to withdraw. If we delay, it will arouse suspicion. Let's head back now!" Cui Yao analyzed.

Wang Qingshan did not insist. He gave a few instructions and allowed Cui Yao and Wang Yonghao to depart.

A moment later, Wang Qingshan and the other two also left the place.

***

Profound Spirit Continent, overseas.

On a certain desolate island, in a hidden underground cave.

Wu Yan's expression was grim. A tall, thin man in a golden robe was reporting to him.

"The Wang family! Are you sure?" Wu Yan frowned.

"Not certain, but the Wang family has always been cultivating flood dragons. Long Qingfeng might have defected to the Wang family, imparting some secret techniques for cultivating flood dragons in exchange for protection. Or it's more likely that the Wang family killed him and monopolized the treasures," the man in the golden shirt said cautiously.

Wu Yan's brows furrowed deeply. Without concrete evidence, he dared not report to Long Xiao. The Wang family was no ordinary force; they had the Zhenhai Palace backing them.

Even if Long Qingfeng were on Azure Lotus Island, Wu Yan would not dare to go to Azure Lotus Island to demand Long Qingfeng.

"Send someone to relay a message to the Wang family. If they hand over Long Qingfeng, we can offer them three Nine-Radiant Dragon Whisker Fruits and a bottle of Nine Transformations Dragon Pills. These are exclusive items of our Nine Dragons Palace," Wu Yan instructed.

The man in the golden robe acknowledged. Then, after a slight hesitation, he said, "There's a rumor that the Wang family obtained a seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl and a Lightning Attraction Pearl."

"Report back to me only if you can confirm it. I need accurate information," Wu Yan said impatiently. "If someone spread rumors that the Wang family had an eighth-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl, would they just charge in? Don't be ridiculous! The outside world also rumored that our Nine Dragons Palace has a 300,000-year-old Divine Eastern Yi Wood! That's completely untrue. Rumors are utterly unreliable."

Of course, it was because the Wang family's strength was undeniable. If it were a small family or sect, they would be in trouble.

The truth was not important; what mattered was strength. With sufficient strength, even if they had a 200,000-year-old Divine Eastern Yi Wood, no one would dare to seize it. Without sufficient strength, even a single steamed bun in their pocket could be snatched away.

"Understood, Elder Wu," the man in the golden robe agreed and left to carry out the order.

"A seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl... if it's true, the Wang family has quite a fortune!" Wu Yan muttered to himself, a look of envy on his face.

The seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl was extremely alluring to Integration cultivators. If a Refinement Void cultivator obtained a seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl and refined it into a formation, passing seven major heavenly tribulations would not be an issue. If an Integration cultivator obtained a seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl and refined it into a Thunder Transformation Formation, along with a few defensive mid-grade Spirit Treasures, they could still overcome the first four major heavenly tribulations.
