Chapter 3201: Reactions from All Sides

Zou Guang, the head of the Intelligence Hall of the Fire Dolphin Tribe, was responsible for intelligence.

It's not ruled out that someone mastered the Soul Suppressing Roar divine ability and framed the Wang family, thereby instigating a deadly conflict between the Fire Dolphin Tribe and the Wang family, from which a third party could profit.

However, that human cultivator also possessed a sixth-tier puppet beast and a seventh-tier talisman. It's very unusual for a Void Refinement cultivator to wield a seventh-tier talisman. It's no secret that Fairy Tianqin is a seventh-tier talisman master.

Most importantly, it was very strange that a human cultivator attacked and killed a Fu Clan Void Refinement cultivator. If the intention was to provoke a deadly war between the Fire Dolphin Tribe and the Wang family, the human cultivator should have killed a Fire Dolphin Tribe cultivator instead.

Mi Peng frowned deeply. If it were any other force, he naturally wouldn't be polite. However, the reputation of the Azure Lotus Immortals made him extremely wary. In recent years, the Wang family had gained two new Integration cultivators.

Is it really worth fighting the Wang family to the death over this matter? It's simply not worth it. Frankly, the Fire Dolphin Tribe cannot afford to offend the Wang family right now.

"We received news that True Monarch Taihao is not on Azure Lotus Island, making it difficult to ascertain the truth."

Zou Guang added that such a matter was hard to verify. They couldn't just go to Azure Lotus Island to check if True Monarch Taihao was there! Perhaps True Monarch Taihao had already returned to Azure Lotus Island by the time they received the news.

Furthermore, even without considering the Azure Lotus Immortals, Zhenhai Palace was an unshakeable mountain. The deaths of a few Void Refinement cultivators were unfortunate but not enough reason to retaliate against the Wang family, especially since there were no significant interests at stake.

It was better to cut their losses in time. If they truly went to war with the Wang family, the casualties would be much greater.

Mi Peng frowned deeply and asked, "What about the Fu Clan? What's going on with them?"

"They claim Mi Xi killed their clansmen, which led to their retaliation. The last time the Fu Clan attacked us, Mi Xi's most valued junior was killed. Now that Mi Xi is dead, we have no way to verify their claims."

Zou Guang reported truthfully.

The Fu Clan's statement also made sense. Mi Xi might indeed have sought revenge for his descendant. Such incidents had happened countless times before.

Just as Mi Peng was about to speak, Zou Guang took out a red communication disk, cast a spell into it, and his expression darkened.

"Ancestor, we've found out the purpose of the Wang family's disciples."

Zou Guang's tone was heavy.

"What purpose?"

Mi Peng asked casually.

"The Heavenly Void Jade Scroll! A certain Fu Clan Void Refinement cultivator obtained a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll. The Wang family set up a trap to instigate a conflict between Mi Xi and the Fu Clan cultivators, drawing out that Void Refinement cultivator to seize the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll. Many human cultivators appeared in our territory and fought fiercely with our clansmen, seemingly to support this person."

Zou Guang said slowly.

"Is there evidence, or is it just speculation?"

Mi Peng raised an eyebrow. Once bitten, twice shy; the last time, the Fire Dolphin Tribe suffered heavy losses because they mistakenly believed there were Qiankun Fruits in a secret realm.

"There's no evidence, it's just our clansmen's speculation. The human cultivators went on a killing spree in our territory, clearly intending to rescue a core disciple of the Wang family. Unfortunately, we didn't capture anyone alive, so we can't prove their identities. None of these human cultivators could use the Soul Suppressing Roar, but some of them did possess fifth-tier puppets, which indeed resembles the style of Wang family cultivators."

Zou Guang reported.

"Forget it. Report this to the Silver Shark Tribe and let them decide! Restrain our clansmen and send someone to inform the Fu Clan. The conflict was very likely instigated by humans, solely to seize the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll. Whether they believe it or not is up to them. If they want to fight, we'll accompany them to the end. Hmph, if we can't deal with the Wang family, can't we still handle the Fu Clan?"

Mi Peng instructed, wishing to quell the conflict as soon as possible and avoid further war.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Zou Guang agreed.

Golden Scale Island, a secluded estate.

Jin Jing and Wu Yan sat in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, we still need your help with this matter. With our current strength, we cannot attack Azure Lotus Island. Once it's done, you will definitely be generously rewarded."

Wu Yan said sincerely.

The superiors were pressing hard. Regardless of whether Long Qingfeng was on Azure Lotus Island, he had to try; at the very least, he could report success.

"Definitely generously rewarded? What kind of generous reward? A seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl? Nine-Light Divine Clay? Or a hundred-thousand-year-old Eastern Yi Divine Wood?"

Jin Jing glared at Wu Yan and said irritably.

It was easy for him to say. If things escalated, Wu Yan would just walk away, leaving the Golden Scale Tribe to clean up the mess. Did Wu Yan really expect Jin Jing to happily agree to an empty promise? He wasn't a fool.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you jest. With the strength of your Golden Scale Tribe, sending people to assist us in attacking the Wang family on Azure Lotus Island shouldn't be an issue, right?"

Wu Yan forced a smile and said, trying to flatter.

"That's not the issue. The issue is what you can offer. Frankly, you're not qualified to say such things. If Long Tianyu were to say it, that would carry some weight."

Jin Jing spoke candidly. His tone shifted as he added, "If you tell me what valuable treasure Long Qingfeng possesses, then I might be able to help."

"Fellow Daoist Jin, to be honest, I truly don't know what valuable treasure he possesses. I only know it's contained within a jade box and must be something very important."

Wu Yan explained.

"In that case, I'm afraid I can't help. If I were to ask your Nine Dragon Palace to assist our people in attacking the ancestral lands of the Han or Li families, promising a generous reward afterward, would you agree?"

Jin Jing spread his hands, feigning helplessness.

"Well... never mind then. I apologize for the intrusion."

Wu Yan sighed softly, stood up, took his leave, and departed from Golden Scale Island.

"Hmph, you can't even confirm Long Qingfeng's location, yet you expect me to send people to attack Azure Lotus Island with you? Do you really take me for a fool? You might draw grand pictures, but I won't buy into them."

Jin Jing snorted coldly, speaking with some disdain.

He took out a pale golden Dharma disk, cast a spell into it, and a respectful male voice sounded, saying, "Elder Jin, we received news that a core disciple of the Wang family ventured deep into our territory and seized a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll from the Fu Clan. The Wang family dispatched many Void Refinement cultivators for support."

"Can you confirm the accuracy of this news?"

Jin Jing said in a deep voice.

"No, we cannot! Currently, it's just a rumor with no evidence. However, a core disciple of the Wang family indeed ventured deep into our territory and killed several Fu Clan cultivators. On the way, this person was pursued by experts from the Fire Dolphin Tribe. They unleashed a seventh-tier talisman, causing heavy losses to the Fire Dolphin Tribe."

"Have our scouts in the Silver Shark Tribe contact Wu Yan and offer them a batch of sixth-tier demonic beasts. Whether Wu Yan accepts the favor is up to him. In any case, we cannot get directly involved. Deploy personnel to investigate and see if a Fu Clan cultivator truly obtained a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll."

Jin Jing instructed.

"Yes, Elder Jin."

Putting away the communication disk, Jin Jing's face showed a thoughtful expression: "The Heavenly Void Jade Scroll! I hope it's true."

Tianhai Market City, the streets were bustling with people and carriages, extraordinarily lively.

In a secluded estate, True Monarch Heavenly Corpse and Revered Celestial Fiend sat in a green stone pavilion. They had rushed to Tianhai Market City to gather some intelligence about the Wang family.

To deal with the Wang family, one could not bypass Zhenhai Palace.

Zhenhai Palace's Integration cultivators were stationed in Tianhai Market City. If the Wang family were attacked, Zhenhai Palace's Integration cultivators could quickly rush to their aid, unless another Integration cultivator could hold them back.
