Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 591 - 591 590 Grand and Majestic

591: Chapter 590: Grand and Majestic 591: Chapter 590: Grand and Majestic Lord Flowing Sand decided to join, no matter why, at least he thought it was a very practical solution, and the Water Clan was not at a loss.

“How should it be done, young friend, do you have a plan?”

Hou Niao had already considered this, “Lord, you were discussing how to ambush me in the Dark Lake, weren’t you?”

Lord Flowing Sand did not hide it from him, “Our three families are discussing how to join forces to break the Defense Shield of the Water Spirit Pearl.

If you can’t withstand it, our Flowing Sand Water Demon can share the burden for you.”

Hou Niao smiled, “No need, opposing humans has no benefits for you and will instead affect future relations; but it seems to me, from the stance of your Flowing Sand River Water Clan, that you would not fully cooperate with them, right?”

Lord Flowing Sand laughed, “Of course, how foolish would I have to be to use all my strength to help them and then get attacked in unison by them?

I was thinking of making a show without making an effort…”

Hou Niao, “Do as you see fit, doing things that suit your identity will appear more natural.”

Lord Flowing Sand still had doubts, “Young friend, can you withstand it?”

Hou Niao was very confident, “It is the Water Spirit Pearl that must endure, not me; moreover, in such an environment, the enhancement to the Water Element is impossible on land, but now…”

Lord Flowing Sand asked no more, as the Water Clan initially tried attacking the Defense Shield themselves and he had personally tested this treasure.

Truth be told, there wasn’t any special method, theoretically, if the Water Spirit Pearl could exert all its power, even a Nascent Transformation Cultivator would fail, and now the test was how much power this Sword Cultivator could draw from the Water Spirit Pearl?

“Do you know the path to the Snow River Dark River?”

“Is it that whirlpool to the west?”

Lord Flowing Sand was naturally very clear about the distribution of the underground water system; this was his forte, not to mention the Dark River, even a small stream was well mapped in his mind.

“In that case, I will lead all the Water Clan to follow you inside.

I imagine that once we make our move, the Qin Sect and the Yue Sect can only follow suit…”

“Exactly so.”

The three little demons slowly left, having heard nothing throughout and unable to detect any expressions, they were anxiously careful not to show it on their faces, which was incredibly tormenting.

Only after moving some distance away did Lord Flowing Sand slowly speak, “You have established great merits and may enter my water mansion, but do you have the courage to continue on this journey?”

The three little demons were ecstatic, indeed seeking fortunes amidst dangers; since they had succeeded, they naturally wanted to pursue further victories,

In unison, the three demons said, “With our ancestor leading us, what is there to fear?

We are willing to follow the successful.”

…During the movement of the Water Spirit Pearl, the three parties reached a consensus to ignore the actual situation of two disciples inside the Defense Shield and launch a robust attack; after all, they couldn’t just remain helpless because two disciples were present, could they?

The first Water Tornado suddenly formed, lifting the entire Defense Shield from the lakebed, this way there would be more directions to attack; in the next moment, countless water system spells rained down heavily, causing the entire Dark Lake to be churned by the spiritual fluctuations, making it quite hard for those of slightly lower realms to even maintain their own forms.

Inside the shield, Hou Niao and another managed the only thing they could: maneuver the vast, unmatched energy of the Water Spirit Pearl, using the Five Elements’ special circulation method to neutralize the attacks from all around.

This was also a way to get practical experience with the Five Elements.

They had never stopped utilizing the Water Spirit Pearl along the way, and now they finally had the opportunity to fully demonstrate their abilities, also deliberately created by Hou Niao.

His Five Elements Cultivation Technique needed such an environment, to cultivate through battle, and only he could come up with such a bold idea.

A moment later, the Water Spirit Pearl seemed to compress the Defense Shield to its limit, pressing the two inside almost into one, but this last layer of defense could not be breached by countless cultivators outside.

This was the terrifying power of the Water Spirit Pearl in this world, it would never acknowledge a master, but it still could provide tremendous help to the person possessing it, and within an extreme Water Element environment, not even cultivators at the Golden Core level could break it.

“You’re squeezing me…” Yin Qingsi expressed her discomfort again.

“Metal generates water…

you see, driven by the environment, I have no choice,” Hou Niao said helplessly.

Yin Qingsi felt frustrated, having been slighted for four months throughout the journey, yet she couldn’t bring herself to blame him—the reason seemed to be the environment, but then again, was it?

Metal generates water, that’s true, but what generates metal?

Fire generates convex, convex generates metal, and metal brings forth water…

This was impossible to imagine!

Who could have such a reaction under the gaze of all, at the edge of life and death?

Feeling extremely stifled, the future “Phoenix of the Northwest” might as well be renamed “Luan of the Northwest.”

But the benefits were also real.

Under immense external pressure, the Water Spirit Pearl autonomously revealed many mysteries of the Five Elements Dao Realm, which greatly aided the cultivators’ abilities in the Five Elements, revealing the mysteries of the Five Elements.

She had been puzzled why the Sword Cultivators insisted on their stubborn resistance to the siege, but now she understood the deep intent behind it, the logic that even three minor demons knew: in the face of danger lies opportunity, so how could these Upper Cultivators not understand?

What limited them was only their Cultivation Level, but compared to the scope of the Dark Lake, they wouldn’t stay here long; once they reached the Snow River Dark River, the relatively narrower environment would preclude the use of spells.

Water is a highly conductive medium; when you hit someone, you also bear the corresponding reaction force, making a mass attack meaningless—as soon as a spell is cast, everyone shares the damage.

In a relatively open environment like the Dark Lake, the effect was not particularly severe, but if they entered the Dark River…

The Water Spirit Pearl wobbled under the siege, but kept shaking without falling, causing frustration to the attackers.

The Water Clan also played a certain role, appearing very diligent, but they were actually pushing the Water Spirit Pearl in a certain direction, stealthily, without leaving any trace.

No human cultivator had yet realized the relationship between the Water Spirit Pearl and the Protective Forest, so for the moment, no one could understand the motives of the Water Demons.

There were still complaints from the Yue Sect Golden Core cultivators, “Don’t push it towards the edge of the Dark Lake!

Try to keep it in the center of the Dark Lake!”

Of course, the Water Clan would not listen to them, not even the cultivators from the Qin Sect would cooperate, because among them was an insider.

Lin Xiashi understood immediately what the Sword Cultivator intended when he saw the direction the Water Spirit Pearl was moving, and couldn’t help but admire the Sword Cultivator’s boldness and madness; without surfacing, he managed to minimize the pressure on the human cultivators, apart from the slower speed, everything else was perfect.

If the intention was to take the Water Spirit Pearl away, it was not a good idea, but if it was merely to change the Water Spirit Pearl’s environment, this was the best choice.

He marveled at the extraordinary decisiveness and initiative of the Shan Sect Sword Cultivator in handling this incident.

The Daoist Sect had always scorned the Demon Sect’s method of acting before thinking, but now it seemed, as to whether it was better to think first or act first, there was no definite answer.

Thinking ahead is a good habit, but it might also lead to overthinking, completely wiping out a good idea…

What he wanted to show was that the cultivators of the Qin Sect were no less capable than others when faced with major dilemmas.

They too had responsibility.
