In the vast, immense forest, countless trees covered the sky and the ground. Even the sunlight at noon could hardly pierce through the lush and dense foliage of those trees.
The people of the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race all stayed under the trees’ shades with leisurely manners, deliberately raised their heads and talked to each other joyfully.
The two leaders Di Shan and Yu Rou had pulled Duo Mou to the side under an ancient tree’s shade and whispered something to each other.
Duo Mou was obviously a little bit frightened in front of Di Shan and Yu Rou. He always honestly nodded with any words or assignments that were ordered by Di Shan and Yu Rou without daring to disobey them.
Ka Ba and Ya Meng slightly closed their eyes while communicating with Yi Tian Mo at the other side of the Snow Dragon Island to ask for Shi Yan’s opinion. Not long after that, Ka Ba and Ya Meng received his response. Then, they waved their hands signaling the Demonic Sound Clan’s warriors behind them to take action.
Thirty high-class Sky Realm warriors of the Demonic Sound Clan quickly advanced towards the seven human warriors and surrounded them. A flow of attacking soul like silk fibers covered those seven human warriors just in a blink.
Under these rippling waves of souls, all seven of them then held their heads, plumping down on the ground and screaming out; the light in their eyes gradually became gloomier.
“Lady!” One bald warrior among them, who had some small arrow tattoos on his head, gazed at Gu Ling Lung standing not far away from there with his red eyes and shouted, “Who are these guys?”
Gu Ling Lung slightly released a sigh, then helplessly talked to her family’s Sky Realm warrior. “Uncle Hua Meng, you don’t need to save us. Don’t risk your life to fight. It’s useless.”
“Holy Maiden?” An elderly woman with many wrinkles on her face was holding her crutch, leaning on a trunk and shivering. She looked at Qu Yan Qing from a distance.
Being scrutinized by that elderly woman, Qu Yan Qing shook her head helplessly, signaling her not to resist.
The elderly woman’s body trembled; she let out a dispirited sigh, became obedient, and stopped the useless protest.
Among the seven warriors, except for Hua Meng with the small arrow tattoos and the elder woman Huang Nan of the Heaven Lake Divine Land, the rest of the five warriors were at the Nirvana Realm. All of them came from the Heaven Lake Divine Land and the Gu family. This time, they were going to the headquarters of the Three Gods Sect to discuss the plan to unitedly deal with the Demon Dwellers.
They had received the information from the Three Gods Sect when they were on the way. As they had been informed that the Snow Dragon Island were encountering some problems, so they stopped by to help the people on this island.
However, as soon as they had arrived at the island, the elderly woman realized that this thick forest was not normal as she could feel the aura of some low-level warriors of the Wings Race and the Demonic Sound Clan. Therefore, the seven of them couldn’t help but come here to check.
After having crossed through the dense forest, they finally met the people of the Wings Race and the Demonic Sound Clan, and almost right after that, they saw Gu Ling Lung and Qu Yan Qing. Gu Ling Lung was the hope of the Gu family’s new generation. Qu Yan Qing was the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Lake Divine Land. Both of them were the brilliant warriors of their forces.
Although Hua Meng and Huang Nan had the Sky Realm cultivation base, together with the five Nirvana Realm warriors, they could still not have any advantages when facing the powerful people of the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race.
Di Shan and Yu Rou didn’t even take any actions nor glanced at those seven warriors. They continued discussing matters that were related to the Gray Wings Clan’s patriarch position with Duo Mou. They then cast the mission of dealing with those seven warriors to Ka Ba and Ya Meng.
As Ka Ba and Ya Meng didn’t know of these people origins, they had immediately used their souls to send out the message to Yi Tian Mo to ask for Shi Yan’s opinion.
After having received the response, they nodded their heads, and Hua Meng and Huang Nan became their prisoners, unsurprisingly in no time.
“Please do not eradicate them!” Gu Ling Lung secretly gritted her teeth staring at Ka Ba and said, “I have told them not to resist. Won’t you stop using the soul oppression?”
Although the seven of them had given up in opposing, the Sky Realm warriors of the Demonic Sound Clan still didn’t receive the order from Ka Ba and Ya Meng to stop doing so; thus they continued using their violent soul oppression on these human warriors.
In the range of ten meters surrounding these seven people, the mind-shaking soul oppression was still smothering the entire area. As they were stuck inside of this soul oppression, Hua Meng’s and Huang Nan’s bodies kept trembling, while the other five warriors tragically, had already gushed out mouthfuls of blood.
The Demonic Sound Clan’s understanding of spiritual Upanishads was way too advanced than that of the human warriors. As soon as the sea of consciousness had been formed, many of the Demonic Sound Clan’s people started to cultivate different pagan spirit skills. Their attacks were mostly aimed at their enemy’s sea of consciousness and soul. This kind of attack was extremely terrifying, and easily destroyed their enemy’s spirit.
The five Nirvana Realm warriors’ bearing clearly proved that their seas of consciousness had been seriously harmed. If it continued like this, these five people would shortly collapse. Once their cultivation base perished, and the host soul was destroyed, they would be completely dead, no one could save them.
“Be obedient a little bit!” Ka Ba coldly harrumphed, then nodded with his Sky Realm warriors. “Spare their lives for now. If anyone is rebellious, destroy their host soul right away.”
As these words came up, Hua Meng’s and Huang Nan’s faces turned pale, horrible light then beamed out from their eyes.
Aiming at destroying their opponents’ bodies was the essential attacking method of all the human high-class warriors in a battle at the Kyara Sea. They normally wouldn’t attack their opponents’ souls.
Attacking soul ... this was extremely terrifying.
A normal Sky Realm warrior wouldn’t just freely use the soul to fight no matter how much hatred they got. It was because once the attacking soul was used, it was difficult to stop. Both sides would easily fall into danger where their souls would be destroyed forever.
If a body was seriously injured, or even slashed into pieces, it still could be hopefully revived. However, once the host soul was destroyed, the living mark would be completely deleted and the revival would be totally impossible.
Therefore, this kind of soul fight rarely happened at the Kyara Sea.
However, Hua Meng and Huang Nan were always oppressed by the soul attack after having arrived this island.
Since the beginning, their seas of consciousness were occupied little by little. Actually, the Demonic Sound Clan had never attacked their opponents’ bodies. This abnormal issue scared Hua Meng and Huang Nan out of their wits. They couldn’t figure out what kind of people these pagans were after all.
“Don’t even think about running away.” Ya Meng burst into laughing, said, “With the soul capacity of the seven of you, if you have any thoughts of running away, you absolutely won’t be able to escape from my soul sense. Let me warn you, even if you only just slightly move, I will immediately ruin your soul so that you know what ‘soul and spirit both perished are.”
Hua Meng and Huang Nan were so terrified that they didn’t dare to act recklessly anymore. They only looked at Gu Ling Lung and Qu Yan Qing with astonishment, and seemingly wanted to know from their ladies who these pagans were.
“Haiza, we can’t tell everything just by a few words.” Gu Ling Lung’s face looked miserable with full of depression and dreariness. “As we entered the Chasm Battlefield this time, we’ve never met any good events, we even nearly lost our lives there.” Gu Ling Lung softly told Hua Meng and Huang Nan about what they had gone through.
Ka Ba and Ya Meng glanced at them with a look of utter despise, didn’t prevent nor care about them. Instead, they continued to communicate with Yi Tian Mo on the other side.
The Kele Clan.
Shi Yan and Yi Tian Mo were sitting still on the spot, didn’t say anything further to Yi En. After having known that the Sky Realm warriors of the Gu family and the Heaven Lake Divine Land would arrive to help them, Yi En was very happy and busy with the arrangement.
Three days had passed by.
All the forces on the Snow Dragon Island had eventually finished their preparations. Boats were ready. The ordinary residents of the island were all arranged to board the boats.
Everything was ready, except for the east wind. (Chinese idiom: east wind = right time or something triggering)
Yi En and Wu Ke were waiting for the warriors of the Gu family and the Heaven Lake Divine Land to come. They had even sent their guys to find those warriors as they wanted to leave this island as soon as possible.
Time was tight for them.
After having received the message from Yi Tian Mo, Ka Ba, Ya Meng, the other people hid deep inside of the forest and also activated the soul formation technique at the same time. Thus, the warriors of the Snow Dragon Island, who had been sent to find the warriors of Gu family and the Heaven Lake Divine Land, had to come back with nothing.
Yi En and Wu Ke started to be worried and didn’t know what was going on. They transmitted their messages to the Three Gods Sect to ask, but the Three Gods Sect had no information either. They only asked for Yi En and Wu Ke to continue to wait.
But, they had no more time to wait.
Eventually, Yi En and Wu Ke had to come back to Shi Yan and begged him to send some escorts over to help them.
“No problem.” Shi Yan excitedly replied. “It will take around ten days to sail from here to the Chaotic Wind Sea. As you are ready, I will send my guys to the harbor to help you cross the Chaotic Wind Sea safely.”
“Shi Yan, thank you ge (Chinese way to call an older brother).” LinDa chuckled, looking at Shi Yan with loving eyes.
“No problem.” Shi Yan’s expression was calm.
“You should leave now. When you arrive at the harbor, you will see my guys over there. Ah, are you sure there is no one left on this island?”
“No, no. Everyone is leaving.” Yi En nodded constantly, thought to himself, “Who dares to stay here?! Is there anyone having the guts to fight against the Demon Dwellers?!”
“LinDa, you should leave as well. I will temporarily stay on this Snow Dragon Island. But don’t worry, I will go to the Three Gods Sect, and I will meet with you there.” Shi Yan comforted LinDa.
LinDa nodded submissively and then left with Yi En.
Wait until Yi En, Wu Ke and their people left to go to the harbor, Shi Yan looked at Yi Tian Mo, nodded and said, “Alright, you call our people to come here. From now on, the Snow Dragon Island is ours.”
Half of a day later.
Di Shan, Yu Rou, and the pagans of the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race spread out from the forest, appearing at the adjacent cities and villages of the Kele Clan’s places. Houses, which had originally belonged to the three big clans, now became the shelters for the people of the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race.
After having got out of that abandoned land, they finally had a rest stop for themselves.
“Bring them here.” Shi Yan was standing on the top floor of the three-level pavilion, gently commanding Yi Tian Mo at his side.
Not long after that, Hua Meng, Huang Nan and the other five warriors of the Gu family and the Heaven Lake Divine Land were escorted over.
The group of Cao Zhi Lan, Qu Yan Qing, and Gu Ling Lung also walked in. They all looked at Shi Yan with full of hatred and didn’t know what he really wanted this time.
“Send the message to your leaders. Tell them that the Yang family’s members have returned.” Shi Yan looked at Hua Meng and Huang Nan and said with a smirk. He pointed at Di Shan, Yi Tian Mo and continued, “These are the Yang family’s allies from the Chasm Battlefield. Tell your leaders if they still need and care about you, that they should come to the Snow Dragon Island.”
