Chapter 571: 480 Shen Long’s Deterrence_1

Tianyuan Realm, Tianyuan Mountain Range.

In Tianyuan Garden, Yin Jie, Yin Qing, Yin Shi, Tuna, and Tuo Shan, a total of seven Soul Transformation Cultivators, gathered in a blue Stone Pavilion.

"What! Shen Long is in the Tianji Realm? Are you sure?"

Tuna asked.

"Absolutely certain, we had an agreement, if Shen Long is discovered, then we execute the male silkworm. The deaths of the two female silkworms almost simultaneously, suggests that at least three Soul Transformation Cultivators are aiding the Tianji Realm. Now is our perfect opportunity to launch a counterattack, an opportunity not to be missed."

Yin Qing’s voice was heavy.

They had repeatedly agreed with Bian He, they would only execute the male silkworm upon discovering Shen Long. If Shen Long didn’t show up in the Tianji Realm, Bian He was not to kill the male silkworm.

They feared Shen Long, not the other Human Cultivators.

"How is Taoist Friend Bian, is he still alive?"

Yin Jie persisted in asking.

His concern was that Bian He had been killed in the process of fighting and had killed the male silkworm.

"Less than a quarter of an hour after the two female silkworms died, Taoist Friend Bian’s Life-Bound Lamp extinguished. He was probably killed by Shen Long. Shen Long isn’t in the Tianyuan Realm right now, and this is our perfect opportunity to strike back. If we miss this chance, who knows how long we will have to wait for another."

Yin Shi said with a grim expression.

"Since Shen Long is in the Tianji Realm, I agree we should counterattack. An opportunity not to be missed doesn’t come twice."

Tuo Shan expressed strong agreement.

"I also agree. With Shen Long away, now is our great opportunity to either inflict heavy damage on or repel the Human Clan."

Tuna seconded.

Yin Jie nodded and said, "Yin Qing and Yin Shi, you two stay and guard the Tianyuan Mountain Range. All other Soul Transformation Cultivators head to Tianyuan City to gather our forces and counterattack the Human Clan. We must seize this opportunity."

If they didn’t go all out against the Human Clan now, the pressure on the Tianyuan Tribe would be even greater once Shen Long returned to aid the Tianyuan Realm.

Yin Qing and the others had no objections and expressed their agreement.

Two Soul Transformation Cultivators remained to guard the Tianyuan Mountain Range while a large number of Tianyuan Tribe Cultivators headed towards Tianyuan City.

Under Yin Jie’s leadership, several hundred thousand Cultivators set out to attack Three Saints City, including as many as fifteen Soul Transformation Cultivators.

...

The Feathered Wing Mountain Range, located in the western part of the Hundred Spirits Realm, stretched tens of thousands of miles. The Flying Feather Tribe had been thriving here for generations.

Deep within the mountain range, one could see the figures of many Flying Feather Tribe Cultivators as well as numerous buildings.

In a secret room, a tall man in a golden robe sat on a blue cushion, holding a Law Disk that glittered with golden light in his hands.

"What! Wu Qing was killed by a Human Cultivator?"

The man in the golden robe said in surprise.

Wu Hao, early stage of Soul Transformation.

"It’s true, some of our people fled back to the Hundred Spirits Realm and sealed the portal. Shen Long’s strength is too formidable, even the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure could not thwart him, and Elder Wu was slain by Shen Long."

A respectful male voice responded.

"Understood, strengthen the defenses! Don’t let the Human Clan break through."

Wu Hao ordered.

"Yes, Elder Wu."

The man agreed to carry out the order.

Wu Hao took out a glittering Golden Mirror, infused a spell into it, and the mirror surface displayed numerous mysterious runes. A beautiful girl in a gold dress appeared on the surface.

"Yu’er, make a personal visit to the Thunderclap Realm and request the assistance of the Thunderclap Clan’s Great Elder. Tell him I’ve agreed to his request and ask him to send reinforcements as soon as possible. Inform them about Shen Long’s situation, so they can pick experts to deal with him."

Wu Hao instructed.

"Yes, patriarch."

The girl in the gold dress agreed.

Wu Hao put away the Golden Mirror and with a somber face, said, "If it weren’t for Shen Long’s support, the Tianji Realm would already have fallen into the hands of our Flying Feather Tribe."

······

Tianji Realm, Tianji City.

In the Tianji Hall, Zhao Sheng sat in the main seat, his face full of smiles.

Five Soul Transformation Cultivators seated themselves on either side, their faces brimming with joy.

In front of over a million cultivators, Shen Long had slain Wu Qing, and the cultivators of the Human Clan pursued the cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe.

"Taoist Friend Mo, you also can’t get in touch with Taoist Friend Shen?"

Zhao Sheng asked.

"No, he probably went after the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe. Even Wu Qing couldn’t handle Shen Long, let alone those other Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe. Taoist Friend Shen will come back on his own,"

Mo Wuya said with a smile.

"The Flying Feather Tribe’s escape techniques are too fast. Aside from Taoist Friend Wang, we have no way of catching up to the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe,"

Taihao True Monarch sighed.

They had chased the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe but couldn’t catch up. The Heavenly Thunder Monarch did catch up with the enemy, but with two members of the Flying Feather Tribe staying together, he didn’t gain any significant advantage.

"That’s the strength of the Flying Feather Tribe. Even if they are defeated, they can retreat with their whole bodies,"

Wu Yan said.

"Most of the cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe have escaped back to the Hundred Spirits Realm. This is only temporary. We cannot guarantee that they won’t strike again. We must not take this lightly and should continue to strengthen our guard,"

Lu Yingying reminded.

Just as Zhao Sheng was about to say something, a majestic figure walked in. It was Shen Long.

Seeing Shen Long, Zhao Sheng and the others all stood up, their faces showing admiration.

"Taoist Friend Shen, why have you only come back now? Is everything all right?"

Zhao Sheng asked.

Shen Long’s clothes were somewhat tattered, indicating he had crossed hands with other Soul Transformation Cultivators.

"I pursued the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe, killed one, and also killed Bian He of the Tianyuan Tribe. His Nascent Soul self-destructed, so I couldn’t find out the purpose of the Tianyuan Tribe sending him here,"

Shen Long spoke in a calm tone, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Zhao Sheng and the others were dumbfounded. Shen Long had killed another two Soul Transformation Cultivators. With this, he had slain four Soul Transformation Cultivators in this battle, a truly remarkable feat.

"Taoist Friend Shen, weren’t you going after Bian He? Did the Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Flying Feather Tribe go to support Bian He?"

Zhao Sheng wondered.

"The Flying Feather Tribe did not support Bian He. After I annihilated Bian He, I went after the Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe and was successful,"

Shen Long said.

"You caught up with the Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Flying Feather Tribe?"

Disbelief appeared on Zhao Sheng’s face.

The escape speed of the Flying Feather Tribe’s Soul Transformation Cultivators is swift, yet Shen Long actually managed to catch up to one.

"Yes, they indeed run very fast, but I managed to catch up to one,"

Shen Long stated. He and Thunder Roc had merged into Unity, successfully catching up to and killing one of the Flying Feather Tribe’s Soul Transformation Cultivators.

He had slain four Soul Transformation Cultivators and obtained a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure along with a stash of cultivation resources.

"By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, do you know the purpose behind the Flying Feather Tribe’s invasion of the Tianji Realm?"

Zhao Sheng asked.

Since the beginning of the conflict, they had captured some Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe and performed Soul Search, but they didn’t get any valuable intelligence.

They had not yet captured the Nascent Souls of the Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Flying Feather Tribe, so they were ignorant of the Flying Feather Tribe’s purpose for invading the Tianji Realm.

"A kind of vicious insect has appeared in the Hundred Spirits Realm with strong reproductive abilities and powerful Divine Skills. They have killed nearly half of the living beings in the Hundred Spirits Realm. The Flying Feather Tribe managed to deal with these insects with great difficulty. More than a thousand years ago, they found traces of these vicious insects in a dangerous area and set a Formation to seal that area. The Flying Feather Tribe’s cultivators realized the seal wouldn’t hold them for long, which is why they invaded the Tianji Realm, intending to migrate their entire tribe here,"

Shen Long explained slowly.
