Chapter 3203: Alien Invasion

On the Peak of the Green Lotus

The Giant-Tooth Tribe is similar in physique to humans and possesses a robust reproductive capacity. They are named for their enormous teeth and are skilled at smelting metal ores. At their peak, they boasted over ten Integration-stage cultivators, but after several racial wars, the Giant-Tooth Tribe declined.

Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; the Giant-Tooth Tribe still has several Integration-stage cultivators and controls more than 30,000 islands, affiliated with the Golden-Scale Clan.

Snow Lotus Island is territory controlled by the Wang family, bordering the Giant-Tooth Tribe's domain. During the last racial conflict, the Giant-Tooth Tribe also dispatched some forces to attack islands controlled by the Wang family, with Snow Lotus Island being of utmost importance.

Wang Shenfeng, a poison cultivator, was recently transferred to Snow Lotus Island and is currently at the early Void Refinement stage.

All islands within a five-million-li radius, centered around Snow Lotus Island, fall under Wang Shenfeng's jurisdiction.

Not long ago, Wang Shenfeng received orders to relocate women, children, and the elderly to the rear. The family also deployed a group of elites to reinforce the defenses of the frontline islands.

Wang Moshan repeatedly issued strict orders to heighten vigilance, anticipating a potential surprise attack from foreign races.

Wang Shenfeng had no doubts whatsoever and intensified precautions.

On this day, as Wang Shenfeng was cultivating in his residence, a sound transmission talisman flew in.

He quickly ceased his cultivation, grabbed the talisman, and crushed it. A panicked male voice rang out: "Ancestor Shenfeng, the Giant-Tooth Tribe is attacking! They've dispatched many experts, and multiple islands are under assault by the Giant-Tooth Tribe."

"Hmph, just in time." Wang Shenfeng let out a cold snort, took out a blue communication disk, channeled a magic incantation into it, and ordered: "All experts, come out and follow me to face the enemy. Send someone to report this."

"Yes, Ancestor Shenfeng." A respectful male voice came from the communication disk.

Wang Shenfeng left his residence, flew high into the sky, and looked towards the outside of the island.

A massive white cloud floated high in the sky, revealing the figures of six Void Refinement stage cultivators—five males and one female. Leading them was a burly man in a golden robe. His mouth was small, with snow-white giant teeth exposed, and his eyes were wide open, emanating an overwhelming aura of hostility.

This was Gu Hao, a late Void Refinement stage cultivator.

The Giant-Tooth Tribe originally had no interest in dealing with the Wang family; to put it plainly, there wasn't any significant conflict of interest, and the last encounter was just a minor skirmish. However, human Integration-stage cultivators infiltrated the Giant-Tooth Tribe's territory, killing an Integration-stage elder and many tribesmen. This enraged the Giant-Tooth Tribe.

The Giant-Tooth Tribe allied with several other races to jointly attack the Wang family.

"Begin breaking the formation," Gu Hao ordered. With a raise of his right hand, a miniature golden mountain peak flew out, expanding rapidly as it flew, transforming into a golden giant peak hundreds of zhang tall, which slammed towards Snow Lotus Island.

The other five Void Refinement stage cultivators either activated their Dharma Idols or conjured their treasures to attack Snow Lotus Island.

They had already captured several small islands and performed soul-searching on the captives. They were surprised to discover that these cultivators were all recently transferred.

The Wang family's high-level members had suddenly ordered a change of defense, simultaneously moving women, children, and the elderly to the rear. The Wang family seemed to have anticipated the Giant-Tooth Tribe's invasion and prepared in advance.

The captives came from different Wang family strongholds and were unaware of the specific situation regarding the Void Refinement stage cultivator stationed on Snow Lotus Island. This was clearly an intentional concealment by the Wang family's high-level members to prevent foreign races from knowing.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." The last time the Giant-Tooth Tribe sent people to attack Snow Lotus Island, the Wang family's Void Refinement stage cultivator was skilled in ice-attribute divine abilities. With the sudden change in personnel, the Giant-Tooth Tribe was unaware of the new Wang family Void Refinement stage cultivator's divine abilities and did not dare to advance rashly.

Wang Shenfeng took out a purple-glowing formation plate, channeled several magic incantations into it, and a large amount of pungent purple miasma surged from Snow Lotus Island, transforming into a massive purple cloud that rose to meet the attack.

The golden giant peak touched the purple cloud, emitting a puff of green smoke. Its spiritual light flickered wildly, dimmed, and became unstable, appearing to have lost much of its spiritual essence.

"The formation has changed too!" Gu Hao frowned. "Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy leads to victory in a hundred battles. Not only did the Wang family replace the stationed cultivators, but they even changed the island protection formation. Now, taking Snow Lotus Island will be difficult."

An arrow shot from the bow cannot be retrieved; they could only rely on brute force to break the formation.

Wang Shenfeng changed his incantation, and the purple cloud churned violently. Six massive purple venomous dragons appeared out of thin air and lunged towards them. Other clansmen either controlled treasures or puppet beasts, attacking Gu Hao and the other five.

For a moment, continuous rumbling sounds filled the air, and shockwaves surged like tides.

Green Gourd Island, an island controlled by the Wang family.

Over a million demonic beasts were attacking Green Gourd Island. Six Void Refinement stage cultivators, five males and one female, stood high in the sky. They were from the Snow Clam Clan.

During the last racial conflict, the Snow Clam Clan suffered heavy losses and had not yet recovered its strength.

The Snow Clam Clan originally did not want to participate in the war, but human Integration-stage cultivators deeply penetrated their territory, killing many high-level cultivators of the Snow Clam Clan, reportedly searching for the Heavenly Void Jade Tome.

It was no secret that core disciples of the Wang family had ventured deep into foreign territory, engaged in a massacre, and were rumored to have obtained the Heavenly Void Jade Tome.

With human cultivators actively causing trouble, the Snow Clam Clan naturally would not stand idly by. They allied with several races to jointly deal with the Wang family.

Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong simultaneously controlled the formation to repel the enemy and commanded their clansmen to control treasures and puppet beasts to meet the enemy.

They had been transferred from the rear to replace Wang Shenxiong.

Wang Moshan's guess indeed proved correct: foreign races would attack the Wang family.

Not only did the Wang family change their defenses, but the island protection formations on the frontline islands were also replaced. As a result, foreign cultivators would not gain an advantage but would instead suffer losses.

A rumbling sound of thunder rang out, and massive silver lightning bolts tore through the sky, striking the attacking demonic beasts.

They had brought a sixth-rank mid-grade Thunder-Attracting Pearl, which was used to set up a lightning-attribute formation by a sixth-rank formation master.

Compared to Thunder-Absorbing Pearls, Thunder-Attracting Pearls were easier to obtain. The Wang family had collected many Thunder-Attracting Pearls, using them to set up lightning-attribute formations, which were very powerful.

This time, using a sixth-rank Thunder-Attracting Pearl to set up a formation on Green Gourd Island, demonstrated the significance they attributed to the foreign races.

Low-level demonic beasts that approached within fifty li of Green Gourd Island were struck down by massive silver lightning bolts. Their bodies were charred black, floating on the sea surface. The air was filled with a strong burnt smell, as if someone were simmering meat broth.

The Void Refinement stage cultivators of the Snow Clam Clan were also not idle, launching attacks on Green Gourd Island.

At almost the same time, multiple Wang family islands were attacked.

Wang Moshan, inadvertently but effectively, had not only sent people to change defenses but also replaced the island protection formations on the frontline islands. After an exchange of blows, the foreign cultivators suffered a minor setback.

On a deserted island spanning a hundred li, within a hidden underground cave, Wu Yan and a dozen other cultivators gathered. They were discussing their strategy.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, didn't you say Jin Jing was unwilling to help us? Why are the affiliated races of the Golden-Scale Clan suddenly targeting the Wang family?" a black-robed elder with a walrus mustache asked, puzzled.

"I'm not sure," Wu Yan said in a deep voice. "I heard that two human Integration-stage cultivators penetrated deep into their territory, massacring and searching for the Heavenly Void Jade Tome. Fellow Daoist Qing from the Thunder Crane Clan is willing to provide a batch of sixth-rank demonic birds to assist us. However, their appetite is quite large."

The Thunder Crane Clan is affiliated with the Silver Shark Clan and is not in the same faction as the Golden-Scale Clan.

"This is interesting," the black-robed elder voiced his conjectures. "How did the Thunder Crane Clan know what we were planning? Could it have been revealed by the Golden-Scale Clan? Are they trying to use us to kill by proxy, diverting the war towards the Silver Shark Clan? Could the affiliated races of the Golden-Scale Clan attacking the Wang family be a scheme by the Silver Shark Clan?"

"Highly possible," Wu Yan instructed. "The human race is currently very powerful. Without significant benefits, they are unwilling to rush to the front; everyone wants the other side to be cannon fodder. This is good too; the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is for us to fish in troubled waters. Without further delay, Fellow Daoist Hai, you command the demonic beasts to attack Heavenly Sea Market. We will head to Green Lotus Island. Do not linger in battle; if we are outmatched, retreat immediately."

"Aren't we supposed to be looking for Long Qingfeng?" The black-robed elder was slightly startled.

"Hmph," Wu Yan let out a cold snort and said with some dissatisfaction. "A general in the field is not bound by his sovereign's distant orders. What benefit would we gain from finding Long Qingfeng? Long Xiao is merely at the Void Refinement stage. He is the nominal Palace Master of the Nine Dragon Palace, but in reality, the Blood Whale Clan controls the Nine Dragon Palace. Are we to do all the hard work only for others to reap the rewards? We've done enough to satisfy our superiors; attacking Green Lotus Island is easier for submitting our report. If you want to fight to the death, then consider what I said unsaid."

If Long Tianyu had given the order, he would not have hesitated at all. Long Xiao was not qualified enough. For a mere Void Refinement stage young brat to order him to risk his life? What a joke. He was wary of the Blood Whale Clan behind Mu Yuqing; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with Long Xiao at all.

The black-robed elder suddenly understood and nodded, saying: "You're right. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Wu. Let's split up and act!"

They left the place and proceeded separately.
