Chapter 298: Ambush Beyond Rank, Invincible Conquest!
Chapter 298: Ambush Beyond Rank, Invincible Conquest!
"Who dares intrude?"
Above Gantang Port, Xiao Hai, a True Immortal of the Li Clan, tensed as his Divine Ability's radiance shattered. His expression darkened while he fixed his gaze on the intruder.
The blinding light split apart, revealing an elderly figure stepping forth. His silver hair and weathered face contrasted with his ramrod-straight posture, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Xiao Hai froze in disbelief.
"Yun Clan's old fool?"
"How dare you!" The Yun Clan Patriarch roared, his fury erupting as he materialized a Yuan Tu (Slaughter) Talisman. The dazzling Sword Qi from moments ago reappeared, slicing through the air.
Xiao Hai exhaled slowly. The hidden trump card clutched in his sleeve loosened as his killing intent dissipated by ninety percent.
After all, this was a Sword Pavilion True Immortal!
Unless the Li Clan intended to wage war across Jiangbei, even refusing to grant him face or driving him away, they’d never dare kill him outright.
"Master Yun, what business brings you to my clan?"
Xiao Hai’s tone turned calm, yet behind him, Gantang Port blazed with myriad lights forming a vast formation. The sea itself seemed to surge into infinity behind him.
The Patriarch’s dramatic entrance—the breathtaking sword strike—had initially distracted him, but now recognizing the assailant, Xiao Hai quickly regained his composure.
Does this old fart think I don’t know his tricks?
All show, no substance. He must’ve used some artifact or talisman to bluff me!
The Yun Clan Patriarch bristled at Xiao Hai’s defiance:
"Why else would I come? To investigate the recent demonic calamity! I suspect the Li Clan colludes with the Devil Dao. Surrender yourselves for judgment!"
The Yuan Tu Talisman’s Sword Qi flared brighter, but Xiao Hai scoffed.
"Collusion with demons? Master Yun, you overstep!"
Meanwhile, within Gantang Port’s Li Clan stronghold, Li Qingyun exhaled in relief as Xiao Hai confronted the Patriarch. Then his blood ran cold.
Unseen moments ago, a black-robed youth had materialized behind him—hands clasped, exuding an aura that made him the center of existence itself. The youth’s piercing gaze pressed down like an invisible mountain.
Another True Immortal?!
Li Qingyun dropped to his knees, his voice shrieking with desperation:
"Greetings, True Immortal!"
The roar vanished within three feet of his lips, drowned by the youth’s mocking smile. Around them, space itself severed—Li Qingyun’s surroundings blurred into oblivion.
Which Sword Pavilion True Immortal is this? Such underhanded tactics defy their usual honor! The Sword Pavilion’s always been bold—thousands of schemes, but one sword cuts all. But this one…
The youth—Lv Yang—observed Li Qingyun with amusement.
Direct confrontation wasn’t his style. He preferred overwhelming odds: ambushing peers, striking from behind. Better dead allies than dead self—the creed of Holy Sect True Immortals.
Though he’d chosen the Li Clan as his target, caution dictated sending the Yun Patriarch as bait first.
The results? Fruitful.
Now holding an ancient bronze bell, Lv Yang smiled:
"Where did you acquire this?"
Li Qingyun’s heart sank. This Zhao Yuan Bell had been sealed deep within their ancestral vaults, guarded by a Foundation-Breaking Formation. Now it lay in enemy hands!
"Speak!"
Lv Yang’s golden-threaded gaze pierced him. Like a breeze smoothing turbulent waters, Li Qingyun’s dread eased, his face calming.
"Golden String Puppetry!"
"The treasure was discovered within a Cave Heaven Fragment", Li Qingyun explained tonelessly. "It serves as a key—shake it thrice at the fragment’s entrance to open a portal."
Lv Yang’s eyes narrowed. A Cave Heaven Fragment? This minor clan struck such luck?
A True Monarch’s legacy falling into an Early Foundation-Building family? Suspicious. Another trap? Is Sword Pavilion playing tricks again?
Suddenly, a Divine Consciousness descended from the skies, heralding a thunderous voice:
"Who dares trespass here!?"
Xiao Hai plummeted earthward, followed by synchronized movements from Lv Yang, Li Qingyun, and every Li Clan member within Gantang Port.
"You address me?"
The unified response froze Xiao Hai’s blood. These familiar faces—his kin—now stared vacantly, their loyalty severed.
What sorcery is this?!
Hand darting for his hidden talisman, Xiao Hai’s heart stopped as Lv Yang’s towering illusion loomed behind him.
"Monster! What have you done!?"
"Xiao Hai greets Master!"
The talisman clattered from the True Immortal’s sleeve, joining the growing pile of treasures surrendered by Li Qingyun and his kin.
Lv Yang surveyed the spoils—the fiery Talisman of Power, the Supreme Spirit Treasure Territory-Expanding Ship, and the clan’s protective arrays. Formidable reserves for an Early Foundation-Building family.
Had he charged recklessly in, allowing Xiao Hai to prepare fully, his low-grade clone body might’ve faltered under the strain.
"Stealth strikes win wars", Lv Yang mused, turning sharply to Xiao Hai. "Now—tell me everything about this Cave Heaven Fragment."
