Chapter 568: 477 Plan of the Flying Feather Tribe_1

Tianyuan Realm, Three Saints City.

In the Three Saints Hall, Lin Xiang and Qin Yue were seated in the principal seats, while Li Wenbin and seven other Soul Transformation Cultivators took their places on both sides, looking solemn.

"Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe have appeared in the Tianji Realm? They can still support the Flying Feather Tribe?"

Qin Yue’s expression was strange.

With more than ten Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Flying Feather Tribe in the Tianji Realm, that power was very strong. The Tianyuan Tribe was actually sending support to the Flying Feather Tribe; did they not fear that the Human Clan would take the opportunity to attack?

After more than a hundred years of war, many Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe had fallen. At first, the Tianyuan Tribe was able to counterattack, but now they were on the defensive, and it was indeed strange that they could still send Soul Transformation Cultivators to support the Flying Feather Tribe.

"Could it be a trap? They’ve laid a formation, waiting for us to walk into it."

Li Wenbin speculated.

"The portrait of this person has been provided by Madam Lu from the Tianji Realm; this individual had never appeared on the battlefield before, so it’s likely a newly risen Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Tianyuan Tribe. As for whether it’s a scheme of theirs, that’s hard to say."

Yuan Rui analyzed.

"Can Taoist Friend Shen and the other three drive back the Flying Feather Tribe?"

A ruddy-faced, green-robed elder questioned.

Dongfang Sen, an early-stage Soul Transformation Cultivator from Qian Yang Realm.

He was a veteran Soul Transformation Cultivator who had been in seclusion, hiding in various places when the Dark Demon Realm invaded the Qian Yang Realm.

When Han Feng and two others came across Dongfang Sen while searching for Demon Race Cultivators with the Demon Seeking Disk, Dongfang Sen came over to the Tianyuan Realm.

"In the Tianji Realm, the Human Clan still has six Soul Transformation Cultivators. Together with Taoist Friend Shen’s group of four, that makes ten. It can’t be said with certainty that they can drive back the Flying Feather Tribe, but they should at least be able to hold them off."

Lin Xiang said.

If they did not support the Tianji Realm, and the Flying Feather Tribe annihilated the Human Cultivators of the Tianji Realm, they might continue to expand and threaten their rear.

By supporting the Tianji Realm, the Human Clan would be fighting on two fronts, without much advantage or disadvantage.

"With Taoist Friend Shen’s exceptional strength, leading a team to support the Tianji Realm and repelling the Flying Feather Tribe is only a matter of time, but we also need to put some pressure on the Tianyuan Tribe. Otherwise, they may divert more forces to support the Flying Feather Tribe."

The Qinglian Sword Venerable suggested.

Lin Xiang nodded and said, "That is precisely what I intend. We will launch another war to probe the depths of the Tianyuan Tribe."

They discussed the details of the battle, preparing to attack Tianyuan City.

Three days later, Lin Xiang and ten other Soul Transformation Cultivators led the charge, with hundreds of thousands of Human Cultivators moving to strike at Tianyuan City.

······

Tianji Realm, Feathered Wing City.

In the Feathered Wing Garden, Wu Qing, Wu Zhu, Wu Hao, and five other Soul Transformation Cultivators were gathered in a cyan stone pavilion, discussing something.

"What’s going on with the Tianyuan Tribe? We told them about the Human Clan’s Soul Transformation support heading back to the Qian Yang Realm, and instead of daring to attack the Human Clan, they actually sent people to the Tianji Realm, claiming they’re supporting us. Isn’t that just suspecting us of deceiving them?"

Wu Zhu said discontentedly.

After killing a Human Clan Soul Transformation Cultivator and capturing his Nascent Soul for a Soul Search, they learned that Lu Yingying had gone for reinforcements, and that Shen Long and the other five were returning to support the Qian Yang Realm.

They immediately sent word to the Tianyuan Tribe, urging them to take this opportunity to counterattack, possibly achieving significant results. By the time Shen Long and the others dealt with the Demon Race, they would be too preoccupied with the Tianyuan Tribe to come to the aid of the Tianji Realm.

The Tianyuan Tribe verbally agreed but made no substantial moves. They sent a batch of cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe to the Tianji Realm, claiming to support the Flying Feather Tribe. It was clear to anyone discerning that the Tianyuan Tribe was skeptical of the Flying Feather Tribe.

"Their suspicion of us is normal; if Shen Long and the others had not gone back to support the Qian Yang Realm, and the Tianyuan Tribe launched a counterattack resulting in their forces being damaged, the Human Clan would be unable to aid the Tianji Realm, which would be beneficial to us."

Wu Hao analyzed.

The Tianyuan Tribe had once betrayed the Flying Feather Tribe, not coming to their aid despite pleas. Now, the Flying Feather Tribe was proactively informing the Tianyuan Tribe about Shen Long and the other five Soul Transformation Cultivators helping the Qian Yang Realm. It was quite normal for the Tianyuan Tribe to disbelieve them.

"We took the initiative to attack the Human Clan, and they just held their ground, fending us off with a fifth-order Formation. Isn’t that proof enough? They’re actually that fearful,"

Wu Zhu said mockingly.

"Whether they believe it or not, let’s hurry up and eliminate the Soul Transformation Cultivators in the Tianji Realm! Otherwise, once Shen Long and the others free up, they’ll be able to support Tianji Realm. When Taoist Friend Tu has crafted the fifth-order Breaking Formation Talismans, it will be time for the decisive battle,"

Wu Qing said solemnly.

The Flying Feather Tribe sent envoys to make contact with the Tianyuan Tribe to exchange cultivation resources while gathering materials necessary for crafting fifth-order Breaking Formation Talismans, which the fifth-order Talisman Maker was already in the process of crafting.

"With the fifth-order Breaking Formation Talismans, we can weaken the power of the fifth-order Formations. Then we can all strike together and settle everything in one battle,"

Wu Zhu expressed strong agreement.

Speed is of the essence in war. They couldn’t afford to delay and had to resolve the fight quickly, or else once Shen Long and the others dealt with the Demon Race in the Qianyang Realm, they would be able to support the Tianji Realm.

...

In Tianji City, within Tianji Garden.

Zhao Sheng, Lu Yingying, and Shen Long were sitting beside a cyan stone table, discussing something.

"Taoist Friend Shen, thank you. With these Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixirs, Taoist Friend Xu and the others will recover much faster,"

Zhao Sheng said gratefully, holding a cyan porcelain bottle in hand.

Shen Long had spent half a year crafting a batch of Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixirs, presenting fifteen to Zhao Sheng, with the materials provided by Zhao Sheng himself.

"It was but a simple effort. Daoist Friend Zhao, I am currently collecting fifth-order Thunder Attribute Demon Cores. If you have any, I can exchange Elixirs with you,"

Shen Long said.

"Fifth-order Thunder Attribute Demon Cores? I happen to have a fifth-order Lightning Pigeon Demon Core. Take it, Taoist Friend Shen!"

Zhao Sheng took out an exquisitely crafted silver jade case and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the jade case, revealing an oval silver Demon Core inside and showed a delighted expression.

"Daoist Friend Zhao, may I ask boldly where you got this from? Where in the Tianji Realm are there fifth-order Thunder Attribute Monster Beasts?"

Shen Long asked.

"I obtained it years ago from an ancient Cultivator’s cave abode. Currently, there are no fifth-order Alchemists in the Tianji Realm, so I’ve just kept this Demon Core. I’m not sure where to find fifth-order Thunder Attribute Monster Beasts, but I can have someone keep an eye out for you and inform you immediately if there are any leads,"

Zhao Sheng replied.

"That would be much appreciated, Daoist Friend Zhao,"

Shen Long said.

After a brief chat, Shen Long took his leave.

Back at his residence, he entered a secret chamber and stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, making his way to the fourth floor, where he fed the fifth-order Demon Core to the Thunder Roc.

Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower, flipped his right hand, and a round black token appeared in his palm.

On the front of the black token was a fierce ghost-face pattern, a Spiritual Treasure he had obtained from Huangfu Lou.

"Netherworld Cave Heaven! The cave abode of a Spirit Realm Cultivator taking shape, could it be Cai Lei!"

Shen Long muttered to himself, his face showing interest.

Huangfu Lou came from the Netherworld, and the Netherworld Cave Heaven was the foremost hazardous place in the Netherworld. It was said that someone had discovered the cave abode of a Spirit Realm Cultivator within.

Considering that Cai Lei had contingencies in multiple realms, Shen Long suspected there might be one in the Netherworld as well.

To verify this, he would need to make a trip to the Netherworld.
