Chapter 965: 874 Unexpected Discovery

Jinyu Realm, Qianyu Sea Area.

A certain expanse of azure sea with gusts of sea breeze, under a clear sky as far as the eye could see.

A streak of green Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, moving at great speed.

A thousand zhang tall cyclone of green swept over, catching up to the green Escape Light.

The green Escape Light halted, revealing a luminous green, twinkling Flying Boat on which stood a slender man in green robes. Judging by his aura, he possessed the cultivation of the Initial Stage of Unity.

In his right hand, a brilliant green light shone forth as he slapped the void, unleashing a giant green palm that collided with the green cyclone.

With a thunderous roar, the green cyclone burst apart, releasing a multitude of giant Wind Blades flying towards the man in green robes.

The man in green robes summoned a green Shield, which blocked the incoming giant Wind Blades.

Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind him, and a gigantic green Sparrowhawk appeared behind the man in green—the creature was a late Seventh Rank Green Wind Falcon.

"Become a feast within my belly!"

The Green Wind Falcon’s tone was cold, as its sharp talons lunged toward the man in green robes.

At that moment, a blue light shone from the sea below, and a white fog sea appeared in a flash; a blue rainbow shot out from within the white fog sea, piercing the Green Wind Falcon’s head in an instant.

The man in green robes was startled and hurriedly bowed in respect, "This junior of Jintao Island, Lin Qingfeng, greets Senior. I had no intention of disturbing Senior’s deep cultivation; please forgive me."

The ability to kill a late Seventh Rank monster bird with one blow indicated that the other must be a Mahayana Cultivator.

"I’ve been cultivating in seclusion here for many years, the ignorant are without fault. Has anything significant happened in the outside world?"

A majestic male voice emanated from within the white fog sea.

"A Eighth Rank Ice Carp Beast has appeared in the Qianyu Sea Area; it has harmed many cultivators. Senior Ye and other Mahayana Cultivators have teamed up to hunt this beast. They’ve injured it, but it has mastered ice Divine Skills and taken human form; it has escaped."

Lin Qingfeng reported truthfully.

"I see. The Green Wind Falcon is yours now; you may leave."

The man commanded.

Lin Qingfeng expressed his thanks repeatedly, overjoyed, and left with the corpse of the Green Wind Falcon.

Below the white fog sea, Shen Long, Shen Lang, and Shen Peng stood atop a mountain peak, discussing something.

"I just succeeded in cultivating the tenth level; let’s use it for a test run!"

Shen Long said in a deep voice.

He had just achieved the tenth level of the Beast Immortal Scripture and could transform into the form of Vermilion Bird to attack enemies.

Shen Lang put away the Formation and brought out a huge ship shimmering with blue light; the ship had a blue pagoda with thirty-six layers on top.

They boarded the blue huge ship, entered the blue pagoda, and as the ship emitted a blue light, it flew off into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.

······

Shadow Realm, Blood Shadow Continent.

In a secluded estate, Suo Guang, Suo Yu, and Guan Shuo sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, engaged in conversation.

"Heavenly Demon Valley has reached out to us, saying none of their Mahayana Cultivators are among the five people; they hope we aren’t misled by others."

Suo Yu said.

"Hmph, they think they’re off the hook just by saying so?"

Guan Shuo snorted disapprovingly.

He had slain Mahayana Mid Stage Cultivators before and was well-known; as a result, his position within the Blood Shadow Clan was not low. It was quite a loss of face for two Great Vehicle Early Stage Cultivators to escape from him.

"If it were truly those from Heavenly Demon Valley, they would not specifically wear clothing marked with the Heavenly Demon Valley emblem. Of course, that’s not to say Heavenly Demon Valley can completely distance themselves from this; they need to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of these two."

Suo Guang spoke in a weighty tone.

He, too, believed Heavenly Demon Valley was not the culprit, but with the fall of a Mahayana Cultivator of the Blood Shadow Clan, the matter couldn’t just be let go; they needed to apply pressure on Heavenly Demon Valley.

"These two must be eliminated, otherwise, letting them grow will become a serious threat sooner or later. Please ask a Mahayana Realm Diviner to help deduce and search for these individuals."

Guan Shuo suggested.

Given that the adversaries had managed to escape from his grasp, if they were to grow, it would surely pose a massive threat to the Blood Shadow Clan.

"Besides mastering Thunder Escape, what else do you know about him?"

Suo Guang pressed on with his inquiry.

Without sufficient information, there’s no way to deduce anything.

"They’re male; one is proficient in Thunder Escape with a strong physical body that can withstand a fragment of Xuantian Treasure. He must have consumed a True Spirit Fruit. The other is skilled in Water Escape. Both have practiced high-rank Divine Soul attacks, and their Divine Sense is no weaker than mine."

Guan Shuo spoke slowly.

"The information is too scarce. Even a Mahayana Realm Diviner would find it difficult to draw conclusions."

Suo Guang frowned as he spoke.

This information was not enough to pinpoint anyone; it made the search exceedingly difficult.

"Regardless, we must try. If this person grows stronger, we will surely face trouble."

Guan Shuo spoke gravely.

Suo Guang nodded and said, "I will contact the other major families and ask them to keep an eye out for these two, hoping we can locate them."

...

Jinyu Realm, Qianyu Sea Area.

A vast island, where many fine cracks in the surrounding void revealed spatial rifts.

This was the infamous Burial Spirit Island of the Jinyu Realm; throughout history, countless Cultivators have perished here, and the island is strewn with numerous surviving Restrictions that could cause the downfall of a Mahayana Cultivator.

In the northwest corner of the island, a hidden underground ice cave.

A tall figure in a white robe sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes slightly closed.

The ice cave began to shake violently, cracks spreading throughout just as a gigantic Blue Dragon Claw swooped down towards the man in white.

The man in white reacted swiftly, opening his eyes, and spewing out a ray of white luminescence to meet the attack.

The white luminescence collided with the Blue Dragon Claw, instantly freezing it.

The man in white threw a punch, sending out a giant white fist that collided with the Blue Dragon Claw, shattering it in an instant.

"How is this possible!"

The man in white was shocked and in dismay, moving to dodge when a resonating chime rang out, making his body tremble as though his Sea of Souls were about to split open.

Before he could recover, the Blue Dragon Claw struck his head, shattering it instantly.

A white light emanated from the corpse, transforming into a shimmering Round Bead, which then shattered.

Thousands of miles away in the void, a white light appeared, revealing a large white carp.

With it as the center, the ground for thousands of miles around froze over.

A loud cry of a bird echoed, as a Vermilion Bird wrapped in blazing flames descended from the sky, tearing open the void without even getting close.

"Vermilion Bird?"

The white carp exclaimed, filled with fear in its eyes.

It let out a piercing screech, sending out a wave of white sound to meet its adversary.

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings lightly, turning into a scarlet flame and disappearing; the next moment, it was above the white carp’s head.

The Vermilion Bird’s talons easily pierced through the brain of the white carp, and a miniature carp left the body, while a Green Jade Vase descended from the sky, capturing the mini carp.

With a flash of red light, the Vermilion Bird transformed into Shen Long.

They had been searching for several years for the Ice Carp Beast. At last, deciding to try their luck on Burial Spirit Island, Shen Long actually succeeded in finding the creature.

Shen Long did not utilize the Vermilion Bird’s unique Divine Skills and easily killed the Eighth Rank Early Stage Ice Carp Beast.

After conducting a Soul Search on the Ice Carp Beast’s Spirit Soul, Shen Long’s eyes gleamed with light.

"A small world belonging to the Lin Family of the True Spirit Noble Houses?"

Shen Long exclaimed with surprise.

This Ice Carp Beast had escaped from a small world controlled by the Lin Family of True Spirit Noble Houses, which had been wiped out; the small world was now unclaimed.

Shen Lang flew over and asked, "Any unexpected discoveries?"

"Yes, our opportunity has arrived. Let’s leave this place first."

Shen Long said gravely, taking the Ice Carp Beast’s body and departing the area with Shen Lang.
