Chapter 343: Chapter 342: Shocking Conspiracy (Fifth Update)

He heard the furious roar of the Poison Dragon Island Master.

Sha Tongtian sneered, "Home? Hehe, I’ve long grown tired of this barren place, the East Sea. The target of the Eight Great Clans is not this mere East Sea, but the vast Territories, the endless sky and earth, the vast sea of stars!"

"As for the East Sea, if it’s destroyed, it’s destroyed."

Sha Tongtian said furiously.

"You’re courting death! I’ll kill this beast!" The Poison Dragon Island Master roared incessantly.

Suddenly, the Poison Dragon Beast behind the Poison Dragon Island Master charged out, and at the same time, the Poison Dragon Island Master launched a vicious attack towards Sha Tongtian.

"Hehe, you can’t kill me." Sha Tongtian sneered, standing still without moving at all.

Lin Bai and Xue Jianke also drew their swords.

"Poison Dragon Island Master, let’s have a fight."

Suddenly at this time, from the boundless darkness behind Lin Bai and the others, over thirty experts from the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer rushed out and shattered the attack of the Poison Dragon Island Master with a single cut.

At the same time, they shattered the Poison Dragon Island Master’s life gate with another cut, leaving him barely alive, collapsed on the ground, vomiting blood continuously.

"Sha Lang!"

The Poison Dragon Island Master roared in anger.

The moment this person made a move, the Poison Dragon Island Master immediately recognized his identity.

The only one in the entire East Sea who could possess such a ferocious and wild attack technique was Sha Lang from the Frenzied Shark Sect.

Pfft! Pfft!

At the same time, the other Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer experts charged towards Xue Jianke, Lin Bai, Jin Qiu, and others.

"Get lost!"

Lin Bai felt a surge of killing intent coming from behind him, and he roared in anger. The Qingge Sword sprung from his storage bag, unleashed a furious sword qi, clashing with the palm strike from behind.

"Hehe, Lin Bai, your sword skill certainly lives up to its reputation."

An old man in a pink robe walked out of the darkness.

"Hua Qinghai." When Lin Bai saw the person who attacked him, it turned out to be Hua Qinghai.

Meanwhile, Xue Jianke, Xiang Tian, and Jin Qiu were sent flying by other experts from Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer.

Only Lin Bai managed slightly better, the others were severely injured.

Lin Bai looked around; these thirty odd warriors of the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer were the supreme masters from the Eight Great Clans of the East Sea, from Peach Blossom Island, Black Gold Island, Qiu Yuan Island, Frenzied Shark Sect, Surging Wave Sect, Blood Shark Sect, Dragon Gate Sect, and Battle Whale Sect.

Lin Bai coldly looked at Hua Qinghai and said, "So, all this was a trap and a performance by you."

Hua Qinghai gave a bland smile, nodded, and said, "Lin Bai, it was you who chose to jump into this trap and join us in this performance. Don’t blame us."

The leader of the Long Clan sneered, "It’s a pity, the newly famous young genius of Shenwu Kingdom will now die in our hands and be buried in this boundless seabed."

The leader of the Battle Whale Sect laughed, "Who’s to say? I’ve killed plenty of geniuses in my life, but never one from Shenwu Kingdom. I wonder how it will feel."

Xue Jianke, Poison Dragon Island Master, Xiang Tian, Jin Qiu, and Lin Bai all stood together, their faces filled with anger as they watched the leaders of the Eight Great Clans.

The Poison Dragon Island Master said coldly, "Why! Why is this!"

Hua Qinghai laughed, "Poison Dragon Island Master, you are an important part in this plan."

"Since you asked, we’ll let you die in peace."

"Folks, should we tell them the truth?"

Hua Qinghai looked at the people around him and asked.

Sha Lang sneered, "Hua old man, you planned all this, you should tell them. Let them die with understanding."

The leader of the Long Clan also laughed, "Haha, it’s time to tell them."

The leader of the Surging Wave Sect also laughed, "Tell them and let them die in peace."

"Alright then."

Hua Qinghai gave a slight smile.

Immediately, Hua Qinghai said faintly, "This story traces back to our ancestors."

"Countless ages ago, a great demon was struck down from the heavens by a fighter from another realm and fell into the East Sea. Although the foreign figure managed to seal the demon, he still had his misgivings."

"He found our ancestors and commanded them to guard this place. He planted a slave seal in their bodies, a seal that would continue to be passed down through our bloodline."

"Once the great demon resurfaces, and the Chaos Stone Array collapses, the slave seal in our bodies will shatter. It will absorb our Qi and blood, and send a message to the heavens about the re-emergence of the demon, notifying that tremendous figure."

Hua Qinghai continued, "Though the great figure initially provided our ancestors with copious cultivation resources, allowing them to assume dominance over the East Sea, after countless years these resources have all been depleted."

"By our generation, we cannot even raise a single person to the Divine Elixir Realm. The East Sea is impoverished and lacks sufficient resources to help us break through to the Divine Elixir Realm."

"The East Sea is vast, but it seems too small to us."

"If the eight great clans want to rise higher, they must leave the East Sea."

"But if we want to leave the East Sea, we must eradicate the slave seal, otherwise, even if we cultivate to reach the heavens and the depths, everything we have achieved will be demolished once the demon comes forth."

Hua Qinghai, saying this, gave a bleak smile.

"We have no other choice, so we came here to free this great demon, but on the condition that he must rid us of the slave seal in our bodies."

"But as you can see, we have spent more than three years here, with at least one warrior at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm attacking the jade treasure each day."

"For three years, a whole three years, we’ve only made three cracks in this jade."

"A slight gap in this enormous array, so that the voice of the great demon could leak out."

"But... he refuses to release us from the slave seal!"

Hua Qinghai shouted angrily.

"He refuses!"

"He refuses!"

"He can help us eliminate the seal, but he refuses to!"

Hua Qinghai bellowed towards the array of Chaotic Stones.

At this point in his narration, Hua Qinghai was seething with rage, furiously staring at the chaotic stones while he bellowed incessantly.

Not only Hua Qinghai, but Sha Lang and the leaders of the other eight great clans were also glaring heatedly at the chaotic stones.

Hua Qinghai, in total despair, chuckled bleakly and confessed, "We have no alternative. He doesn’t wish to cooperate, so the deal is off. We cannot leave this seal open; we have to plug the gap."

"But when we asked Treasure Pavilion, they said they’d have to custom make a seal to close this kind of gap, and we would also need a Talisman Master from Central Holy Nation to do it."

"The spiritual stones required would be astronomical!"

"56 billion spirit stones! 56 billion."

"Lin Bai, do you understand what 56 billion spirit stones means? If we took them out, they could fill an entire sea!"

"56 billion spirit stones could fill an entire sea!"

Hua Qinghai looked excited, apparently deeply pained by the amount of 56 billion spirit stones.

"Even if the eight clans put together all their assets, we could not accumulate 56 billion spirit stones!"

"However, we have no choice but to fill this gap. If the demon continues to refuse to negotiate, this gap must be sealed."

Hua Qinghai declared passionately.

Poison Dragon Island’s Master sneered, "This is what they call hoisting a rock only to drop it on one’s own feet."

"Yes, destiny fools us," said Hua Qinghai, laughing bitterly to himself.
