Chapter 951: 860 Enemy Encountered in Another World (No More for Today)

Heavenly Demon Pavilion, Ning Xiang and Jiang Huan sat on chairs, discussing something. Jiang Huan was holding a Messaging Plate that glimmered with spiritual light.

"Are you sure they have left the marketplace?"

Jiang Huan asked.

"This disciple witnessed it with my own eyes; they seemed very anxious, as if they were in a hurry to go somewhere, but Shen Long’s disciple wasn’t with them."

A respectful male voice responded.

"Not by his side? Perhaps he has taken them into a Cave Heaven Treasure."

Ning Xiang said.

"Is his disciple still in the marketplace?"

Jiang Huan continued to inquire.

"This disciple checked; his disciple is indeed still in the marketplace."

The man reported.

"Understood. No need to keep watch over his disciple, to avoid arousing his suspicion."

Jiang Huan instructed.

"Yes, Uncle-Master Jiang."

The man complied.

Jiang Huan put away the Messaging Plate and analyzed, "It seems that Shen Long and Chu Buyu are in a hurry to go somewhere. Something that concerns them so much, could it be the Eighth Rank Monster Bird with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline?"

"If they were returning to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, they would have no reason not to take their disciple with them. Which means, it’s inconvenient for them to bring their disciple, or his disciple has other matters to attend to."

Ning Xiang slowly said.

"Sister-Master Ning, should we kill them on their way?"

Jiang Huan asked.

"What’s the use of killing them? We still don’t know who possesses that item. Even the Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch is no match for Shen Long. Our chances of eliminating them are slim; we do not possess a Xuantian Treasure, nor do we have control over the Spirit Domain. Let’s act as if nothing has happened and return to study the Spirit Domain."

Ning Xiang sighed.

Jiang Huan nodded, "That’s all we can do. Without absolute certainty, it’s indeed inappropriate to make a move rashly."

Their chances of besting Shen Long were quite slim.

······

The Qingyue Sea Domain was located in the western part of the Heaven Moon Realm, with numerous islands and rich in Monster Beasts resources. Every once in a while, a beast tide would erupt.

Thousands of years ago, the Lin Family ancestor established the Lin Family on Green Peach Island, and it has been passed down to the present. With three Unity Cultivators in the Lin Family, it had some reputation in the Qingyue Sea Domain.

A thick green light barrier covered the entire Green Peach Island, and hundreds of thousands of Monster Beasts surrounded the island, with concentrated attacks falling on the green light barrier.

More than a hundred thousand Lin Family cultivators gathered on the island, confronting the Monster Beasts under the direction of the clan elders.

"There’s even a Seventh Rank Late Stage Monster Beast leading them, we’re in trouble now."

A ruddy-faced elder in green robes frowned and fixated his gaze on a giant blue whale.

"Elder Lin Qinghua, we can’t hold out much longer. We should arrange for the elite of the clan to retreat!"

A scholar in white clothes suggested.

Loud booming noises erupted, and multicolored spiritual lights submerged most of the green light barrier.

"We will stay and resist the Monster Beasts, while Madam Yun leads the clansmen in retreat."

Lin Qinghua instructed.

"Trying to run? Too late."

The blue whale spoke with a cold tone.

"Oh, is that so?"

A dignified male voice came from the sky, resonating for tens of thousands of miles.

"Who, show yourself!"

The blue whale’s tone was ice-cold.

The sea water rapidly froze, and the ice layer swiftly spread, freezing a large number of Monster Beasts into giant white ice sculptures.

"No good, it’s a Seventh Rank Monster Beast!"

The blue whale’s voice was panicked.

A huge humanoid phantom appeared in the sky, surrounded by flickering spiritual light, with dragon and phoenix shadows visible.

"All beasts, heed my command! Be subdued!"

The humanoid phantom shouted.

Hearing this, hundreds of thousands of Monster Beasts ceased their attacks, motionless.

The ice layer spread rapidly, completely sealing off the hundreds of thousands of Monster Beasts.

A red escape light appeared in the distant sky, then stopped flashing, revealing a red Flying Boat. Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood on it, with Shen Long having an enlarged humanoid phantom above his head.

They had rushed to the Heaven Moon Realm at top speed, arriving in the Qingyue Sea Domain, just in time to encounter the outbreak of the beast tide.

"Mahayana cultivator? Human Clan Mahayana!"

The Lin family disciples were ecstatic with joy.

Lin Qinghua quickly flew over, bowed deeply, and said, "Junior Lin Qinghua, I am deeply grateful for the elder’s assistance, a kindness our Lin family will never forget."

"Have you heard that an Eighth Rank Monster Bird roams the Heaven Moon Realm?"

Shen Long asked.

"I’m aware, it is said to be in the Qihong Cave, where a Mahayana cultivator was slain by it."

Lin Qinghua replied truthfully.

"How much do you know about the Qihong Cave? Do you have a map?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"The Qihong Cave was the cultivation ground of Fairy Qihong and now remains unclaimed. Anyone can enter or exit, and there are many resources inside. However, it shelters numerous Monster Beasts with formidable Divine Skills. I have not entered the Qihong Cave myself. Qinghong True Person has been there; he is a Mahayana cultivator."

Lin Qinghua spoke slowly.

"What’s the background of Qinghong True Person, and where can he be found?"

Shen Long asked.

"Senior Xu comes from the Qinghong Palace in the Qingyue Sea Domain. As for his current whereabouts, I’m not certain."

Lin Qinghua cautiously stated.

Shen Long asked several questions, to which Lin Qinghua answered truthfully.

The ice layer shattered, and a large White Flood Dragon flew out, startling Lin Qinghua.

The White Flood Dragon devoured the Seventh Rank Monster Beasts frozen in ice, and transformed into Shen Ao’s appearance.

"Let’s go! To the Green Rainbow Palace!"

Shen Long instructed.

Shen Ao acknowledged, landed upon the Qianhuo Boat, and with a gesture of a spell from Chu Buyu, the boat soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Elder, what about these Monster Beasts?"

Lin Qinghua inquired.

"They are gifted to you. If I find out you’ve deceived us, the fate of these Monster Beasts will befall you."

Shen Long’s voice echoed from the sky.

Lin Qinghua was overjoyed; with these Monster Beasts, the Lin Family could cultivate more powerful experts.

······

The Qihong Cave is located in the central part of the Heaven Moon Realm. Originally a Secret Realm, it was claimed by Fairy Qihong as her own cultivation ground. It is said that Fairy Qihong ascended to the Immortal Realm, leaving the cultivation ground undiscovered and unclaimed, free for any cultivator to enter and exit.

A red Escape Light appeared in the distant sky, halted with a flicker, revealing a Red Flying Boat glistening with red light. Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Chan stood atop it.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had visited two Human Clan Mahayana, confirming the presence of the Eighth Rank Monster Bird in the Qihong Cave, but they too had no idea of its current whereabouts.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had to make the journey to the Qihong Cave themselves, hoping to chance upon luck.

"Here we are at Qihong Cave, there are some remaining Restrictions weak in power, yet we should still be cautious."

Chu Buyu said, holding a blue Beast Hide in his hands.

A massive seven-colored ring appeared in the void ahead, resembling a giant rainbow hanging in the sky.

Strictly speaking, the Qihong Cave is an abandoned cultivation ground, not as grand as the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, yet still greatly tempting to cultivators below the Mahayana level.

With a gesture of a spell, Chu Buyu lit up the Qianhuo Boat in red, flying into the rainbow ring.

The surrounding environment blurred, and they appeared above a lush, rolling mountain range, rich in Spiritual Energy.

Shen Chan’s eyes shone with dazzling golden light, searching for Restrictions.

On their way, they encountered some Monster Beasts, mostly below Seventh Rank, which they found uninteresting.

Half a month later, the Qianhuo Boat appeared atop a high peak, Shen Long holding a blue Beast Hide map that they had collected.

"The Eighth Rank Monster Bird has been seen in this vicinity."

Shen Long frowned.

"Four Mahayana cultivators are approaching."

Chu Buyu spoke, looking toward the southwest.

A green Escape Light appeared in the distant sky and halted with a flicker, revealing a sparkling green Flying Shuttle with three men and one woman standing on it, among them was Yun Xuan.

"Human Clan Mahayana! Shen Long!"

Yun Xuan’s expression turned cold.

"Madam Yun, do you know them?"

A muscular man in a gold robe asked loudly. His eyes and hair were silver, and his figure was twice the size of a human. From his aura, he was undoubtedly a Mahayana Mid Stage cultivator; the other two men were in the Early Stage.

"They are Mahayana cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. It’s rumored that they have searched for treasures in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. Back then, they weren’t Mahayana cultivators, so they probably had a great fortune there, which led them to ascend to the Mahayana Realm!"

Yun Xuan said with profound meaning.

The Crystal Clan had already submitted to the Human Clan, preserving their lineage, mainly because Yun Xuan was still alive. Deep in her heart, she harbored aversion to Human Clan Mahayana.
