Chapter 735: Chapter 697 The Disturbance Long Xiao Caused_1

Under the clear azure sky, a blue giant dragon wrapped in dazzling lightning suddenly soared into the air from the Saint Spirit Continent.

"Elder Long, I would ask you to explain your departure."

One of the True Gods, Pei Yishan, appearing out of thin air in front of the old dragon, stood on a battered and broken shield.

Behind Pei Yishan, a desolate and barren illusory world slowly unfolded.

With a stone ruler in his left hand, his attitude neither arrogant nor humble, he spoke in a deep voice, "Before Li Wang descended to the Lower Realm, he instructed me to watch your movements, to pay attention to your every action."

"Pei, lad, you can’t stop me wherever I wish to go!" the blue giant dragon laughed wildly.

"Dong Shangqing is already on his way here," Pei Yishan said, unruffled, as calm and steady as an eternal rock. "Liu Fu is dead, his death a complete mystery, and we have yet to discover who the perpetrator is."

"That has nothing to do with me!" Long Xiao quickly tried to disassociate himself from the affair.

He had resolved to break free from Purgatory, but the Dragon Cave and the Demon Race were still within this world. If Pei Yishan were to blame Liu Fu’s death on him, his dragon children and grandchildren would surely suffer misfortune.

"What I mean is, if Liu Fu had not died, he would also be hurrying here," Pei Yishan said indifferently. "Li Wang has instructed that you can leave the Saint Spirit Continent, but we must know what you are planning to do."

"I’m preparing to break through the Heaven Forbidden, and from there soar into the Outer Star River," Long Xiao’s voice thundered, shaking the very void.

When he made the agreement with the Fifth Realm, the Sovereign had given his assurance: as long as Long Xiao chose to leave Purgatory, the gods of the Outer Realm above the Mysterious Fog would not trouble him.

In other words, as long as he could successfully break through the Heaven Forbidden, he could leave in peace.

"If that is the case..."

Pei Yishan stepped aside, and the desolate illusory world behind him quietly faded away: "Then I wish Elder Long a smooth journey."

"Pei, lad, we shall meet again beyond the heavens!" Long Xiao’s fierce dragon mouth revealed a heart-splitting, strange laugh. "In my view, since Li Wang and the others have fallen to the Lower Realm and have not been able to return, they’re more likely to be unlucky than not."

"You, while still possessing peak fighting strength, might as well try to break through the Heaven Forbidden and escape."

"The Human Race will probably be annihilated, but you might still find a way to survive in the Outer Star River."

"What do you think?"

The Old Thunder Dragon seemed genuinely concerned as he advised.

Pei Yishan remained unmoved and said, "You might not encounter a combined attack by the gods if you venture out, but I surely will. I have no confidence that I could break through the siege alive with a High God presiding."

"Then I’m afraid we shall not meet again," the Old Thunder Dragon said no more.

As he flew higher into the sky, he looked nostalgically in the direction of Panshi Fragment Land.

From his vantage point in the void, with today’s clear weather and the Divine Power in his dragon eyes, he was astonished to discover that Panshi Fragment Land had already drifted from its original location.

The vast expanse of land was slowly floating toward the First Realm.

"It’s the Mysterious Turtle exerting its strength. Should I have one last meeting with it before I leave? It hasn’t returned to its peak, its memory is not fully awakened, it has forgotten some things..."

Long Xiao hesitated slightly.

After a moment, the old Thunder Dragon decided against additional complications and, controlling the Thunderous Lightning, flew straight for the First Realm.

...

West Soil, Pure Land.

In a secluded valley blooming with a myriad of flowers, Pang Lin sat by the gently flowing stream conversing sporadically with Wu Sujin.

"Since Shifu and Li Wang have been submerged and have not returned for a long time, it is unknown what has become of them," Wu Sujin said, her brows furrowed with worry. "I heard not long ago that something seems to have happened to Liu Fu. The Yuan Qing Divine Nation is tight-lipped about it, and everyone is unclear about the specifics."

"The Li Family, on that end..."

Wu Sujin lowered her voice and glanced towards the Heaven Treasure Li Family, saying, "A Life Soul Lamp has gone out. And that lamp, it is said, was lit by the Spiritual Soul of a True God from the Li Family in their early years."

Pang Lin said in confusion, "Are you saying that Elder Li Yuanli might have fallen?"

"I’m not sure about the specifics, but lately, the atmosphere in the Li Family has been pretty grim. After dispatching Li Yuqing on his mission, there has been no news from him, and the True Gods of the Li Family have followed Li Wang. Even their Life Soul Lamps have gone out; their situation must be dire," Wu Sujin said with a solemn expression, "All I hope for is that Shifu is safe and sound."

"Aside from Shifu, my brother, and Elder Li, I pray that they are all well," whispered Pang Lin.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a cascade of glass-like divine light shone out from various regions of Pure Land.

"The Glass Cleansing World God Array!"

"Who activated the great array?"

"Sister Wu, please immediately enter the center of the God Array, and bring Pang along!"

"..."

Many frantic voices came from Wu Sujin’s bracelet and echoed from all directions outside the Secluded Valley.

The Spiritual Birds living in Pure Land and the Cultivators there were immediately thrown into chaos.

"The Old Dragon from the Dragon Cave has suddenly left the Saint Spirit Continent and is heading straight for the First Realm! Our Sect Master is not here, and neither are the other True Gods. We fear it is coming for Pure Land!"

"Sister Wu, it might get into Pure Land and go after Pang!"

"Only when the Glass Cleansing World God Array is activated can we fend off the claws and teeth of that Old Dragon. It’s a must!"

All of Pure Land fell into panic and unease.

Pang Lin, who had returned with Wu Sujin to the core of the "Glass Cleansing World God Array," hesitated for a moment upon hearing that the Old Thunder Dragon might be coming for her. Then, she shook a Golden Bee Insect out of her sleeve.

"That Old Dragon from the Dragon Cave might be coming for Pure Land," she told the Bee Insect.

"Little sister, who will this Golden Bee Insect carry the message to?" Wu Sujin asked urgently.

"It will tell the Bee King and my brother," Pang Lin said softly.

...

In the depths of the Mysterious Fog of the Second Realm.

On a streamlined Demon Clan vessel, Dong Tianze and Wu Yuan sat at the bow and stern respectively, occasionally exchanging insights into the True God Realm.

The two unlikely companions formed a connection through their cultivation of evil methods and their complete advancement to the status of Alien Tribe True Gods.

Near the ship, Golden Bee Insects buzzed, collecting souls from the corpses’ bodies.

Bodies of warriors from the Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, Heaven Clan, and Giant Spirit Race floated in the Misty Sea, all slain by these two harbingers of death.

With these two presiding over this area, any Alien Tribe warriors who dared to enter became corpses.

"I’m starting to look forward to the arrival of a level ten God Spirit from the Alien Tribes," Dong Tianze licked his lips, his eyes growing increasingly bloodthirsty as he said, "If no stronger Alien Tribes show up, I plan to return to Purgatory World."

At that moment, a Golden Bee Insect suddenly said, "Sister Pang Lin has just sent a message saying that the Old Dragon from the Dragon Cave is rushing toward the First Realm. People in Pure Land suspect that this Old Dragon is after Pang Lin!"

"Long Xiao!"

With a cold snort, Dong Tianze immediately took off with the Bloodthirsty Blade.

"Wait for me!"

Wu Yuan shouted lightly, following without hesitation.
