Chapter 597: 506 Wu Xiao’s Plan (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_1

Bian Shang was not clear about the situation in Qianyang City, and that’s why he risked attacking the Human Cultivators leaving Qianyang City.

It was certainly risky for Bian Shang to do so, but as long as he did not encounter Shen Long, he could still escape. A typical fourth-order Spiritual Fox simply could not track someone so far.

He had also set up a fifth-order Formation, the Eight Gates Silent Spirit Formation, which possessed a strong ability to hide. At first, Shen Long indeed did not discover it, but the Hundred Eyes Cicada found the formation’s location, prompting Shen Long to take action.

If it were a different Soul Transformation Cultivator, they might not have been able to find Bian Shang at all.

"Eight Gates Silent Spirit Formation! A formation brought down from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot!"

Shen Long’s face showed delight.

The Eight Gates Silent Spirit Formation had always been stored in the treasury, and all eight of the formation flags were Spiritual Treasures. Yin Hao and seven others descended to The Lower Realm, bringing with them a batch of cultivation resources, among which was the Eight Gates Silent Spirit Formation. It was originally intended to strengthen the power of the people in The Lower Realm.

The front line collapsed, and the tribal people of the Tianyuan Mountain Range divided the items in the treasury, each fleeing for their lives. Bian Shang took the Eight Gates Silent Spirit Formation and the fifth-order elixir for the Divinity Transformation Stage. He went into hiding somewhere to cultivate and successfully advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

He had been unable to contact Yin Hao and others and only learned that a large number of Human Cultivators had gathered in Qianyang City, so he attacked the Human Cultivators leaving Qianyang City to gather information.

"Yin Hao and Yin Yue haven’t contacted Bian Shang, which is strange. Could it be that they are still healing?"

Shen Long pondered.

Logically speaking, Yin Hao and Yin Yue should have had elixirs for healing. Since Shen Long had recovered, they should have as well, but they had not organized the people of Tianyuan Realm to come together.

Thinking of the Netherworld, he speculated, "Could it be they have gone to the Netherworld to find Master Guixu?"

The Iron Tail Scorpion flew out from the bottom of the sandpit and said, "Master, Soul Transformation Cultivators are indeed very delicious."

If it hadn’t been for Shen Long wanting to perform a Soul Search on the Nascent Soul, Bian Shang’s Nascent Soul would not have been able to escape.

Bian Shang’s Nascent Soul was no longer of any use to Shen Long, so he fed it to the Iron Tail Scorpion and returned the way he came.

Upon returning to Qianyang City, the city was safe and unharmed, with no attacks endured.

Shen Long returned to the Spirt Control Garden and saw the Red Rainbow Fairy and Yuan Rui sitting in the Stone Pavilion chatting leisurely.

"Taoist Friend Shen, did you catch up with Bian Shang?"

Red Rainbow Fairy asked offhandedly, not holding much hope.

"I caught up with him and killed him. He wanted to probe for information about Qianyang City,"

Shen Long replied.

Upon hearing this, the Red Rainbow Fairy and Yuan Rui were shocked, wondering how he could have caught up.

"Taoist Friend Shen, has Bian Shang not made contact with other Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe?"

Red Rainbow Fairy changed the subject. If Bian Shang knew the whereabouts of other Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe, they could exterminate them all in one fell swoop.

"I don’t know. Yin Hao brought down a batch of resources from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, many of which were stored in the Tianyuan Tribe’s treasury, and they’ve all been divided by the Tianyuan Tribe’s Cultivators. They have not been in contact with one another."

Shen Long explained.

With this being the case, the Tianyuan Tribe might have newly emerged Divinity Transformation Cultivators appearing from time to time to attack the Human Cultivators. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light.

"Junior Brother Shen, what should we do next?"

Yuan Rui asked.

"Didn’t we find the spatial node leading to the Qingmei Realm? I’ll go check it out and see if I can return to the Qingmei Realm. If it’s successful, let’s leave the Tianyuan Realm!"

Shen Long said.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you’re planning to leave the Tianyuan Realm?"

A somewhat weak male voice spoke up.

As the voice faded, Wu Xiao and a burly man in a yellow shirt walked in.

In the initial defeat at the frontlines, Wu Xiao had desperately fought his way out of the encirclement and had been healing ever since.

"I am Bi Shan. It is a pleasure to meet all the Taoist Friends here,"

the man in the yellow shirt said politely, revealing that he was a newly advanced Divinity Transformation from the Barbarian Tribe.

"We, the Human Clan, are planning to leave the Tianyuan Realm. The realm is too vast, and just a handful of us cannot take control of it,"

Shen Long stated.

"Taoist Friend Shen, did you and your group eliminate the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe from the Lower Realm?"

Wu Xiao asked.

"Two escaped. They have not made contact with other Tianyuan Tribe cultivators and haven’t even returned to the Tianyuan Mountain Range. I suspect they have gone back to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot,"

Shen Long said.

"Our Barbarian Tribe plans to stay in the Tianyuan Realm. Taoist Friend Shen, I have a personal matter I’d like to discuss with you,"

Wu Xiao said.

Shen Long was somewhat surprised, but he nodded and brought Wu Xiao to the Qingpeng Pavilion.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I confiscated this from a Tianyuan Tribe cultivator. It should be useful to you."

Wu Xiao took out a green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

"So many Dragon Suppressing Stones!"

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise. This was enough to upgrade his life-bound magic treasure into a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Besides the Dragon Suppressing Stones, there were also over a hundred pieces of fifth rank artifact refining materials.

"Taoist Friend Wu, what do you desire?"

Shen Long asked.

"A heavyweight Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. We, the Barbarian Tribe, plan to stay and develop in the Tianyuan Realm, leaving the Donghua Cultivation Realm to your Human Clan,"

Wu Xiao said.

Shen Long’s strength was evident; if Wu Xiao took his people back to the Qianyang Realm, inevitably, frictions would arise over time. When that happened, it would be the Barbarian Tribe that suffered, potentially even facing extermination.

Now that the Tianyuan Tribe was significantly weakened, should the Barbarian Tribe develop here, there was immense room for growth and relatively less threat.

"Aren’t you afraid that those two Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe haven’t left? Or that the Tianyuan Tribe might send more people down to the Lower Realm?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"I am afraid, but going back to the Qianyang Realm, I see no prospects for our Barbarian Tribe’s development. It’s better to stay here. Even though there are great risks in developing in the Tianyuan Realm, there are also tremendous opportunities,"

Wu Xiao explained.

"Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures are already rare, heavyweight ones even more so. The things you’ve given me are not enough,"

Shen Long said with a frown.

He could see that Wu Xiao had gotten hold of many valuable items and intended to fleece Wu Xiao thoroughly.

Wu Xiao took out a Golden Gourd and handed it to Shen Long, "This is the essence blood of a fifth rank Sea Suppressing Ape. It’s said to have the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape. Yin Hao brought it down from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot and stored it in the treasury, and now I’ve acquired it."

Shen Long opened the Golden Gourd, his eyes showing intense delight as he spoke, "So much, Taoist Friend Wu, you didn’t hide away a portion for yourself?"

"We still have many tribespeople in the Qingmei Realm. If possible, I’d like to ask Taoist Friend Shen to bring them to the Tianyuan Realm. Should there be any need for our Barbarian Tribe’s assistance in the future, feel free to speak up,"

Wu Xiao said earnestly.

Considering Shen Long’s strength, Wu Xiao dared not play any tricks.

"Alright. However, we can only help you after we leave the Tianyuan Realm. In the meantime, you should join forces with Bi Shan to guard Qianyang City. I’m concerned that Yin Hao and Yin Yue might return. Of course, you needn’t worry too much; there’s a high chance they’ve headed elsewhere,"

Shen Long said.

"Taoist Friend Shen, with the Tianyuan Tribe in such a weakened state, have you not considered staying in the Tianyuan Realm? This would allow your Spirit Control Sect to develop even better,"

Wu Xiao said.

"I’ve killed quite a few Divinity Transformation Cultivators; I’m not lacking in common resources. How much could I possibly gain by staying here?"

Shen Long spoke frankly.

After all, he had the Tianyuan Sword, and he could come to the Tianyuan Realm at any time.

"Fine. That’s a deal,"

Wu Xiao agreed.

Shen Long, accompanied by a group of disciples, left Qianyang City and at the same time dispatched more people to gather scattered Human Cultivators from around the area.
