Chapter 547: 455 Becoming Famous Overnight_1

Three Saints City, Three Saints Hall.

Lin Xiang and Qin Yue were seated at the main seat, with Li Wenbin and a dozen other Soul Transformation Cultivators standing on both sides, all wearing smiles on their faces.

They had engaged in a great battle with the cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe, and since there were not many Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe on the front lines, they had gained a great advantage, killing one Soul Transformation Cultivator and severely injuring three.

If it weren’t for the multiple Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures possessed by the Tianyuan Tribe, their losses would have been even greater.

"As guessed by Taoist Friend Lin, they didn’t have many Soul Transformation Cultivators on the front lines. If we had missed this chance, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve such great victories,"

Qinglian Sword Venerable said with a smile.

With the help of other Soul Transformation Cultivators, he had severely injured a Soul Transformation Cultivator, which was a significant achievement.

"Opportunities in battle are fleeting. If it weren’t for Taoist Friend Lin’s decisive action at the critical moment, we wouldn’t have been able to gain such great victories,"

a plump woman in a green dress said, smiling.

Jiang Qing, at the early stage of Soul Transformation, came from the Jade Huan Realm.

"Indeed! Within a short period of time, they wouldn’t dare to confront us again,"

Li Wenbin said, smiling slightly.

"Logically speaking, with the front lines under so much pressure, shouldn’t the Tianyuan Tribe be dispatching Soul Transformation Cultivators for support? How come they just retreated?"

Huang Ziqi asked, puzzled.

If the Tianyuan Tribe had sent reinforcements in time, they wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.

"Didn’t Taoist Friend Shen and Madam Liu go to attack a major stronghold? Their reluctance to send reinforcements might be due to this reason,"

Taihao True Monarch speculated.

"It seems that Taoist Friend Shen and Madam Liu must have tied up several Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe, hence the lack of reinforcements on the front lines,"

Jiang Qing analyzed.

"That’s not right. All the major strongholds have fifth-tier Formations, even if they couldn’t win, they should have no problems holding their ground, right? Why not support the front lines and instead deal with Taoist Friend Shen and Madam Liu?"

Han Feng questioned, puzzled.

"Indeed! If I were a Soul Transformation Cultivator of the Tianyuan Tribe, I would hold my position and wait for reinforcements, focus on sending experts to support the front lines, repel the enemy, and then turn back to support the major strongholds,"

Qinglian Sword Venerable expressed his confusion.

Could it be that Shen Long and Liu Yuyun attacked the Tianyuan Mountain Range? That’s even less likely, as the Tianyuan Mountain Range is the sacred land of the Tianyuan Tribe, cultivated for over a million years. It wouldn’t be so easily conquered.

"What if the major stronghold was breached? Would the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Tribe pull back their forces?"

A pleasant female voice suggested.

No sooner had the words been spoken than Shen Long and Liu Yuyun walked in.

"What! Madam Liu, Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve breached the major stronghold?"

Lin Xiang’s face was full of shock.

He hadn’t expected Shen Long and Liu Yuyun to achieve such significant victories; their main goal was to divert the attention and strength of the Tianyuan Tribe.

Qinglian Sword Venerable and the others were equally shocked; none had imagined Shen Long and Liu Yuyun would secure such tremendous victories.

"To be precise, it was Taoist Friend Shen. He killed a Soul Transformation Cultivator, I didn’t do much to help,"

Liu Yuyun said seriously.

Upon hearing this, several Soul Transformation Cultivators gasped in astonishment.

Shen Long had advanced to the Soul Transformation Stage not long ago, could his strength be this formidable?

"Madam Liu is being modest. If you hadn’t helped, I wouldn’t have breached the Formation so easily,"

Shen Long said modestly.

He was able to break through the fifth-tier Formation thanks to the Water Qilin Pearl, the Art of Transformation from the Heavenly Demon True Scripture, and Liu Yuyun’s help in restraining Yin Shuo.

Without Liu Yuyun, Yin Shuo would have interfered with Shen Long’s effort to break the Formation.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Madam Liu, you have worked hard. Now I see why the Tianyuan Tribe didn’t support the front lines and instead withdrew on a large scale,"

Qin Yue praised them.

"Indeed! If I were one of the Tianyuan Tribe’s higher-ups, I would also order a retreat. Who knows whether the enemy might invade the Tianyuan Mountain Range,"

Qinglian Sword Venerable expressed his agreement.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Madam Liu, you have made a great contribution."

Li Wenbin praised.

"Without the efforts of various Taoist friends on the front line containing numerous Soul Transformation Cultivators, we wouldn’t have achieved such great results. As the Tianyuan Tribe retreats, ceding a large amount of territory, it inadvertently extends our battle line."

Shen Long said slowly.

Now that the Tianyuan Tribe had retreated, and the Human Cultivators advanced, dispersing their forces would give the Tianyuan Tribe Cultivators a chance to defeat them in detail. If they didn’t disperse their forces, they simply wouldn’t be able to support the front line in time.

"Taoist Friend Shen is making sense, we shouldn’t rush to expand, we need to deploy more experts from the rear first."

Lin Xiang said.

This time they had slain two Soul Transformation Cultivators and severely wounded three others, a tremendous victory. However, with more than ten Soul Transformation Cultivators still among the Tianyuan Tribe, eradicating them would not be easy.

"This is the most prudent approach. As long as we eliminate the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe, the Tianyuan Realm will be ours."

The Qinglian Sword Venerable expressed strong agreement.

Expanding now meant dispersing their forces, giving the Tianyuan Tribe an opportunity. By holding their current territory and pulling experts from the rear, they could proceed in a steady and solid manner.

Li Wenbin and the others had no objections; this was a safer course of action.

"Everyone has worked hard, you may return and rest for now!"

Lin Xiang announced the end of the meeting, and Shen Long and the others went back to their respective accommodations.

The news of Shen Long conquering a major stronghold of the Tianyuan Tribe spread quickly, greatly boosting the morale of the Human Clan. Disciples of the Spirit Control Sect gained much prestige, and Shen Long was widely known among the Cultivators as the Golden Roc True Monarch.

······

Contained within the Tianyuan Mountain Range was Tianyuan Garden.

Yin Jie, Yin Hu, Yin Shi, and four other Soul Transformation Cultivators were gathered in a green stone pavilion, looking rather displeased.

A major stronghold had been taken by the Human Clan, leaving no survivors. They had no idea what had happened and could only consolidate their forces.

Millions from the Tianyuan Tribe were gathered at two strongholds, namely the Tianyuan Mountain Range and Tianyuan City. Many more of their people were scattered throughout the Tianyuan Realm with low cultivation, left to fend for themselves.

"Not a single survivor?"

Yin Jie asked furrowing his brows.

Yin Qing nodded, "Yes! If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t be consolidating our forces. I’m worried the Human Clan might have received reinforcements."

Yin Chi and Yin Shuo descended from the sky and landed before them.

"You’ve finally returned! How did it go? Did you destroy that spatial node?"

Yin Qing asked eagerly.

"Destroyed. We killed one Soul Transformation Cultivator, obliterated several forces, and returned as fast as we could. Some of our people have been left to cause trouble in the Qingmei Realm."

Yin Chi reported.

"Excellent. Once the reinforcements from the Goldscale Clan arrive, we can do battle with them and wipe them out in one fell swoop," Yin Shi said gravely.

Yin Shuo frowned and asked, "We’ve heard of a major defeat at the front lines. What’s going on?"

Yin Qing sighed and relayed the truth.

"The Qinglang Mountain Range has been taken! Not one survivor!"

Yin Shuo’s expression darkened; many of his kin had been in the Qinglang Mountain Range.

"Did you find any connection between the high-level Cultivators of the Qingmei Realm and Cultivators from other realms when you killed them?"

Yin Jie inquired.

"No, we conducted a Soul Search on the captured Nascent Soul Cultivators. Apart from the Jade Huan Realm and Qian Yang Realm, we found no contact with other realms. It might be that the Nascent Soul Cultivators were too low in status to access confidential information," Yin Shuo analyzed.

"So it’s possible that the Qian Yang Realm has sought help from other realms."

Yin Jie said with a frown.

They were unaware of the origin of the force that had breached the Qinglang Mountain Range; the unknown was the most terrifying.

"We can only hold our positions and wait for reinforcements. With their return path cut off, it won’t be easy for them to retreat," Yin Qing said with a heavy tone.

Yin Jie nodded and spoke, "Let us all return to rest first. We must increase our personnel and ascertain the origin of the aggressors who entered the Qinglang Mountain Range."

No objections were raised by Yin Qing and the others, who went off to attend to their own duties.
