Chapter 807: 716 Unexpected Fortune

The Blood Luo Mountain Range was in the northern part of the Yaksha Realm, stretching across a million miles.

Deep within the mountain range, a multitude of Yaksha Clan cultivators could be seen, along with a palace glistening with gold, bearing the plaque "Blood Luo Hall."

Sitting at the main seat, Zhu Yue’s face was pale, her left arm lost as if it vanished into thin air, showing signs of severely injured vital energy.

Five men and one woman stood by her side, their expressions grave.

"Fairy Zhu, what exactly happened? Our kinsfolk guarding Rakshasa Island were all killed, and you’ve been gravely injured. Where are the others?"

A tall, purple-robed elder spoke up.

Tao Feng, Soul Transformation Cultivator, Middle Stage, leader of the Yaksha Clan of the Lower Realm.

If it weren’t for the five people, Zhu Yang included, who descended to the Lower Realm with critical missions, Tao Feng would have ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot already.

With Tao Feng’s help, they found the contingency left by Master Blood Shedding. Zhu Yang’s group was to break the seal, allowing Tao Feng to stay back and guard the Blood Luo Mountain Range.

First, all Yaksha Clan cultivators on Rakshasa Island were killed, then the whereabouts of the seven including Zhu Yang became unknown; this drove Tao Feng to desperation.

Zhu Yue suddenly returned and called for a meeting.

"We were ambushed by Five Lights Sect cultivators on our way back, and everyone else was killed. I had a sixth-tier Escape Technique talisman, so I narrowly escaped."

Zhu Yue said with a somber face, her voice weak, showing signs of being severely injured vital energy.

"What? The Five Lights Clan?"

Tao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

The influence of the Five Lights Clan was not small, yet the two clans did not interfere with each other’s waters, maintaining restraint despite minor frictions.

"That’s right, we have a traitor within us. They ambushed us on our way back, which wouldn’t have been possible without a traitor, and they took most of our things."

Zhu Yue expressed with a face full of anger.

"What? Taken by the Five Lights Sect cultivators?"

"The gall of the Five Lights Clan, daring to steal our possessions."

"Blood calls for blood; we must show them some consequences."

Multiple Soul Transformation Cultivators voiced their opinions, all of them furious.

"Fairy Zhu, what do you think we should do next?"

Tao Feng asked.

Zhu Yang’s group of five had undertaken the mission to break the seal and retrieve the treasures without Tao Feng; to put it bluntly, they did not want to share any with him, and Tao Feng didn’t dare say much.

Now that something had gone wrong, Tao Feng didn’t want to deal with it either.

"We must take our possessions back. Otherwise, I can’t return and report, and this will affect our future paths."

Zhu Yue declared with a face full of murderous intent.

"Madam Zhu, even you are no match for them, let alone us. Why don’t you go back to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot and ask for more people to come down?"

Tao Feng suggested.

"Yes! If even you aren’t a match for them, much less us. It’d be better for the clansmen from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to come down."

The others strongly agreed.

"They killed the six including Zhu Yang, with only one survivor who was also severely wounded. This matter concerns your paths. I’ll return to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, at the very least I’ll be able to submit some of the things, but if we send more people down, will you not have to act? By then, the Five Lights Clan will be on guard, and you will have to pay a greater price. Here are three Middle Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, enough power for Soul Transformation Cultivators, more than enough to allow you to dominate in the Lower Realm."

Zhu Yue flicked her sleeve, and a red storage bracelet shot out, landing in the hands of Tao Feng.

Tao Feng’s Divine Sense swept through and he felt a mix of shock and delight. Inside, there were numerous treasures, including over twenty lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures and three middle-grade ones.

"Fairy Zhu, you have middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures in your possession. How could you still not overpower your opponents?" Tao Feng asked, puzzled.

"They had a fifth rank early-stage Soul-devouring Clam that mastered Divine Soul Attacks, and it was an ambush. We didn’t have any treasures to weaken the Divine Soul Attacks, so naturally, we were no match. However, you don’t need to worry; we have already eliminated the fifth rank early-stage Soul-devouring Clam," Zhu Yue explained.

After Shen Long and Chu Buyu attacked Rakshasa Island, they headed to the realm controlled by the Five Lights Sect and eliminated a group of Five Lights Sect Cultivators, including several Soul Transformation Cultivators, and learned through Soul Search of their Nascent Souls that Mo Hai of the Lower Realm had been raising a fifth rank early-stage Soul-devouring Clam.

This was an intentional frame-up, one that Tao Feng and the others could never have anticipated since Zhu Yue was being controlled by another.

Bold enough to rob the Yaksha Clan’s possessions, the Five Lights Clan had the capability, and it just so happened that Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan had descended to the Lower Realm.

"Retrieve those items, and you’ll have achieved great merit. I will speak well of you in front of Elder Zha. After you ascend to the Realm of Spiritual Pivot, your treatment will certainly be no small matter; at the very least, you won’t have to worry about Cultivation Resources before reaching Void Refinement. Conversely, if you fail to retrieve them, at the very least I can manage to produce some items to cover. However, your ascent to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot wouldn’t earn you favorable treatment," Zhu Yue slowly said.

To motivate these Soul Transformation Cultivators to exert their full effort, besides offering incentives, threats were necessary.

"Fairy Zhu, rest assured, we will immediately contact clansmen from other realms to ensure the items are retrieved. We just don’t know what those items are," Tao Feng inquired.

Zhu Yue flicked her sleeve and six colorful jade slips flew out, landing in their hands, and said, "There are many items. I’ve only recorded the most valuable ones. Send someone to deal with the Five Lights Clan first. If I weren’t in such a poor state right now, I would be leading the charge myself. I’ll take my Elixir to heal, and once I’m better, I will personally lead the team."

"Fairy Zhu, you recover first. We’ll immediately organize manpower to handle the Five Lights Clan," said Tao Feng in a deep voice.

With middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures in hand, his confidence was strong.

Zhu Yue gave a few more instructions, then let them leave and closed the door.

Zhu Yue walked into a Practice Room, which was completely empty.

In one corner, a burst of Spiritual Light shone and Shen Long and Chu Buyu appeared.

Zhu Yue led them into Blood Luo Mountain Range, arriving at Blood Luo Hall, where they hid in the Practice Room.

All the information Zhu Yue had just provided was manipulated by Chu Buyu.

"A great drama is about to unfold. With three middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, Tao Feng and his team will surely eliminate quite a number of Five Lights Sect Cultivators," Shen Long said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the reserves Master Blood Shedding has in the Lower Realm turned out to be so substantial. We were originally targeting the Five Lights Clan, but this windfall was unexpected," Chu Buyu grinned.

Master Blood Shedding had hidden a fortune of Cultivation Resources within a Secret Realm, which included over three thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, more than twenty middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, and a batch of Alchemy and Tool Refining Materials.

These treasures had fortuitously fallen into Shen Long and Chu Buyu’s hands, making them a fortune.

"Fortunately, there were no top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to get our hands on them," Shen Long remarked with some relief.

"Master Blood Shedding’s contingency plans surely aren’t limited to this one. The really good items are probably in the Realm of Spiritual Pivot. With these resources, a Cultivator wouldn’t have to worry about Cultivation Resources before reaching Unity," analyzed Chu Buyu.

Shen Long nodded, "Yes! Once we return to the Realm of Spiritual Pivot, we must investigate Master Blood Shedding’s origins. This person is definitely extraordinary."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat down cross-legged to meditate and regulate their breathing, and Zhu Yue also sat cross-legged, taking an Elixir to heal.

They were stirring the conflict between the Yaksha Clan and the Five Lights Clan, muddying the waters, so they could fish in troubled waters.
