Especially with the appearance of Nan Tian Upper Master, the bloody slaughter reached its peak.
As soon as he arrived, he exterminated a clan with Three Great Foundation-Establishnt Late Stages, thereby occupying the only Third Order Spirit Vein in this area.
If that was all, it would have been enough.
But, after that, he ordered all forces in the Flying Swallow Islands to pay tribute to him.
Those who showed the slightest disobedience were bloody suppressed.
In just seventy years, three Foundation Establishnt Families were destroyed under his hands!
It was just thirty years ago that a powerful man surnad Li established the Canghai Righteous Alliance in the Central Region of Demon Realm, and the North Sea Cultivation World finally established a fragile new order.
Whether they were convinced by him or not, outward respect was still necessary.
To obtain the island-connecting matrix technique from the great-talented Li, Nan Tian Upper Master nominally joined the Canghai Alliance.
It was also since then that he reined in his wanton and arrogant behavior.
The Flying Swallow Islands, thus, had a brief peace for thirty years.
"But still!"
"That Nan Tian Upper Master is quite narrow-minded. Once soone in the Flying Swallow Islands had a realm capable of threatening him, he would openly suppress and secretly eliminate them."
"Like the Flood Dragon Gang’s Gang Leader, with a realm of Foundation Establishnt Stage Finalization, has been wandering alone overseas for many years and dares not return to the Flying Swallow Islands."
"I, with modest abilities and Dual Spirit Roots, had a decent cultivation speed. But having been at the Ninth Level Foundation Establishnt for decades, I still dare not step into the Foundation Establishnt Stage Finalization, to strive for a higher realm. That too, I fear."
Cheng Dou said with a sigh, his tone filled with endless lant.
His gaze fell on Luo Chen, and his tone suddenly beca spirited.
"But now it’s different!"
"The Ascendant Master is here, and peace cos to the Flying Swallow Islands. The Ascendant Master is here, and the Flying Swallow Islands will see clear skies!"
Luo Chen suddenly raised his hand.
The spirited words abruptly ceased.
Amid Cheng Dou’s confusion, Luo Chen drank the last sip of Spirit Wine.
"The wine is good, the food is also special, but I am tired."
Cheng Dou opened his mouth, his face a bit flushed.
But having survived under Nan Tian Upper Master’s tyranny for decades, he had so scheming and knew he was being too hasty.
He forced a smile, "My apologies, Upper Master, I forgot your long journey here indeed requires so rest. Haixin, you lead the Upper Master to the inner courtyard to rest first!"
Cheng Haixin’s expression darkened, and she silently stood up.
Luo Chen waved his hand, "No need for the inner courtyard, that mountain cliff at the tail of the Black Swan Island looks good, and it also has a Second Order Spirit Vein for temporary shelter."
Cheng Dou naturally did not dare to disobey.
He imdiately changed his words, "The Upper Master also has tastes for scenery; indeed, Sea-viewing Cliff has a spectacular view. Haixin, accompany the Upper Master there to temporarily set up a Cave Mansion for rest."
Cheng Haixin bowed her head, hmming.
...
Atop the lone cliff, Luo Chen wielded the Xuanhuo Sword and, in less than half an hour, carved out a simple yet spacious Cave Mansion.
As soon as he entered, he released the Primordial Chaos Tripod from the Storage Bag.
From the tripod, a faint hissing noise erged.
Beside him, Cheng Haixin showed a look of curiosity.
But when Luo Chen cast a hand gesture, and the mont Five Blue-ring Giant Fang Sea Snakes appeared, she couldn’t help but turn pale.
Luo Chen turned around and said indifferently, "I plan to rest here, you can do as you please."
Cheng Haixin’s face flushed from white to red, but eventually, she clenched her teeth and said, "Sea-viewing Cliff is cold and windy at night. It might be chilling for the Upper Master to sleep alone, and I am willing to warm your bed."
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and thoroughly assessed her.
Finally, he slowly shook his head.
"Never mind, I’m not that delicate."
"But..." The woman’s heart jumped with joy, but her face still showed conflict.
"It’s a long day ahead!" Luo Chen implied, and then he ignored the woman and started arranging the temporary resting place by himself.
Cheng Haixin hesitated for a mont, then unable to hide her joy, left the Sea-viewing Cliff.
After she had left, Luo Chen walked to the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
Looking at the cold silver waves and the deep starry sea, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Monts later, he chuckled softly.
"Just driving a tiger to swallow a wolf!"
