"Gathering on Changfeng Island, naturally to seek revenge on the Black Dragon Domain!"
"Not to hide from the three of you, this old servant’s surna is Huaa, and I am the housekeeper of the Sword Immortal of the Flowers, Huaa Minghao, who was trained in the Tiannan Huaa Family of the Black Dragon Domain. Eight years ago, the Tiannan Huaa family suffered a massacre, and no bloodline of the Huaa family survived!
It wasn’t until recently that the family head learned of this and began plotting vengeance! However, there are many culprits, and they possess so capabilities, hence the recruitnt effort.
You three can rest assured, this recruitnt will last at least a year, and even if it concludes within a year, the compensation for the entire year will not be diminished in the slightest!"
While this old housekeeper of the Huaa family was still speaking, Ye Zhen’s heart was engulfed in towering waves of astonishnt.
The Huaa family!
The mastermind behind it all turns out to be the Tiannan Huaa family that he once exterminated.
Back when the Tiannan Huaa family was annihilated, it was known that several elders of the Tiannan Huaa family were traveling and cultivating abroad, but such travels are extrely perilous, and not all the elders of the Huaa family could possibly have survived.
Unexpectedly, the most renowned Flower Sword Immortal, Huaa Minghao, survived.
It’s reasonable for Huaa Minghao to seek revenge, but there is sothing Ye Zhen cannot quite understand.
Ye Zhen is uncertain of Huaa Minghao’s cultivation level, but judging by the current housekeeper of the Huaa family, whose cultivation reaches the eighth stage of the Establishnt Realm, he alone could easily sweep through the entire Black Dragon Domain.
An existence at the eighth stage of the Establishnt Realm impossible without having one or two reputable spiritual artifacts, correct?
According to Liao Feibai’s words, the entire Black Dragon Domain had only two kings at the Establishnt Realm when she left, one being Fuh Dongxing of the Phantom Divine Sect, with cultivation as high as the first stage of the Establishnt Realm.
The other is Guo Qijing, the Sect Leader of the Qiyun Sect. Initially, it was absolutely improbable for Guo Qijing to establish a mansion within a short period, but as the territory of the Black Water Empire expanded more than twofold, countless resources were plundered from the major and minor sects within the Sword Origin Empire’s domain.
Furthermore, the Qiyun Sect’s control over the Black Water Kingdom reached an unprecedented level, and the sect’s cultivation resources slanted thoroughly into Guo Qijing’s hands.
With the massive tilt of resources, Guo Qijing barely stepped into the Establishnt Realm, capable of contending equally with Fuh Dongxing of the Phantom Divine Sect.
Originally, the one most likely to break through to the Establishnt Realm was Yu Ruhai, the Sect Master of the Sword Origin Sect, who remained unable to break through due to serious injuries from the Eastern Expedition and the lack of sect resources as the territory diminished.
And these two kings at the first stage of the Establishnt Realm are the strongest beings in the Black Dragon Domain.
It’s not that the Black Dragon Domain lacks foundation, rather it’s that, despite having nurous geniuses, due to the impoverished Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Black Dragon Domain, anyone with a bit of skill and great resolve has left the Black Dragon Domain in pursuit of martial arts.
With only these two masters at the first stage of the Establishnt Realm, the number of Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists would not exceed three hundred, more of them being in the Soul Sea Realm.
As long as this Huaa housekeeper is not overly foolish, he alone could sweep through the entire Black Dragon Domain, let alone single-handedly tackle the Black Dragon Empire.
Furthermore, since this Huaa housekeeper’s cultivation reached the eighth stage of the Establishnt Realm, the cultivation level of the Flower King Huaa Minghao shouldn’t be too low, right?
Sothing they could accomplish by themselves, why recruit so many people?
What was making Ye Zhen rather frustrated was that this Huaa housekeeper only revealed this much, the specifics of how to execute were left unsaid, and Ye Zhen couldn’t question too much.
After receiving the spirit crystals and pills for the first month, the three erged, found a clean place, set up a tent, and waited to depart.
Due to the relatively remote location of Changfeng Island, the martial artists arriving here for recruitnt each day were quite few, sotis one or two, at most two or three, or sotis there would be no one for two or three consecutive days.
After half a month passed this way, the recruited manpower barely exceeded thirty, mostly mid-stage martial artists of the Establishnt Realm.
Though the martial artists were bored, nobody complained about earning spirit crystals for free.
A turning point occurred on the seventeenth day, when three stream-like streaks of light swiftly descended from the heavens and directly entered that simple trading hall.
Ye Zhen was astonished by the spectacle.
After entering the trading hall, the martial artist at the third stage of the Establishnt Realm, protected in the middle by those two eighth-stage kings of the Establishnt Realm, first actively bowed in salute towards the Huaa housekeeper, saying "Greetings, Master..."
Before the person could finish speaking, the Huaa housekeeper raised him up. At this mont, the Huaa housekeeper’s face showed none of its previous humility but appeared solemn, "Minghao, the plan has already begun execution, so from this mont forth, to maintain the charade whether in public or private, I am your housekeeper, and the one who should be bowing in respect is ..."
Ye Zhen, having already attached Divine Soul Power to Earth Spiritual Power and dispersed it, was suddenly shocked upon hearing these words.
The king at the third stage of the Establishnt Realm turned out to be the Sword Immortal of the Flowers from the Tiannan Huaa family, Huaa Minghao.
"Lord..." Without waiting for the latter half, Huaa Minghao had already puffed up his chest, looking every bit the rightful master.
If Ye Zhen hadn’t attached his Divine Soul Power to Earth Spiritual Power, he wouldn’t have overheard such confidential secrets.
Just this alone proved that this matter wasn’t simple.
"Housekeeper Huaa, we have brought the complete plan drawn up by the lord, but as per the lord’s request, we still need to adjust based on actual situations..."
Huaa Minghao spoke only half-sentence before the Huaa housekeeper made a gesture, and several streaks of talisman light flew from the hands of the other two eighth-stage kings of the Establishnt Realm, imdiately setting layers upon layers of soundproof barriers. Concurrently, a wave of Divine Soul fluctuation spread like a tide, turning within this soundproof barrier, imdiately destroying Ye Zhen’s faint divine sense attached to the Earth Spiritual Power.
Upon his divine sense being destroyed, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed. In this critical mont, he must find a way to eavesdrop on the plan.
With a slight movent of his divine sense, Ye Zhen’s figure sank and vanished from his tent.
In the next instant, Ye Zhen was already in the underground chamber where the secret eting was held by Housekeeper Huaa and others.
As his divine sense spread through the Earth Spiritual Power, the conversation in the hall beca audible again.
Only defending on all sides but disregarding the underground, that’s basically a flaw of all kinds of barriers. After all, even among Dao Entrance Realm experts, few could use such a secret technique as Earth Escape.
Ye Zhen hid silently underground, quietly listening to their discussions.
"The lord gave us two sets of plans, adaptable to the situation. The first plan involves a three-pronged approach: one group strikes directly at the Ye Family in Gold City County Town to capture Ye Zhen’s parents alive; the second group heads to Ye Zhen’s sect, Qiyun Sect, to completely annihilate it, and if possible, capture the Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing alive.
The third group goes directly to the Black Dragon Empire, to massacre the royal family of the Black Dragon Empire."
Just hearing this first set of plans made Ye Zhen grind his teeth fiercely. This attack was truly ruthless. Except for capturing his parents alive, they ant to annihilate everyone else, directly destroying a sect and a nation.
This thod is simply vicious to the extre.
"The second plan is to first capture Ye Zhen’s parents with lightning speed, then move north to exterminate the Qiyun Sect, and finally cleanse the bloodline of Black Water Empire’s royalty."
"Housekeeper Huaa, this is the lord’s plan. What do you think should be done?" asked Huaa Minghao.
After pondering for a mont, Housekeeper Huaa replied, "According to the lord’s plan, capturing Ye Zhen’s parents is the first priority. As for exterminating the Qiyun Sect and Black Water royalty, those actions are rely to disguise the real intent.
Therefore, under no circumstances can there be any accident with the first target. Let’s proceed with the second set of plans!" decided Housekeeper Huaa.
"Alright, Old Seventh, do you have a plan to track the whereabouts of Ye Zhen’s parents?" Housekeeper Huaa asked.
"Boss, once we reach land, there will be soone to assist us!" the short Old Seventh replied.
"Good, organize the teams, ti is of the essence, we set off in half an hour. This ti, there can be absolutely no mistakes!" Housekeeper Huaa instructed.
At this mont, Huaa Minghao’s expression beca extrely fierce, "Dare to exterminate our Huaa clan, this ti, I will annihilate your Ye Zhen’s entire ten clans!"
At the sa mont, deep underground, Ye Zhen clenched his fists tightly, an aura of killing intent surged around him, causing the surrounding soil to emit sharp cutting sounds.
Ye Zhen was trying hard to control his emotions.
Ye Zhen couldn’t believe how despicable and shaless this group of people were, intent on capturing his parents to threaten him.
Upon hearing their plan, Ye Zhen had an impulse to rush out and kill them all.
But just at the brink of action, Ye Zhen forcibly restrained himself.
As the saying goes, you can hide the monk, but you can’t hide the temple, which is exactly the situation Ye Zhen was in now.
What good would it do for Ye Zhen to kill these small operatives? As long as the other side resorts to any ans to deal with Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen’s parents would always be his weak spot.
However, Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly guard his parents’ side all the ti.
Even if Ye Zhen dealt with the imdiate threat, he couldn’t leave with peace of mind, as these operatives were endless.
In an instant, Ye Zhen’s mind raced, working at high speed.
He must completely eliminate this threat; otherwise, Ye Zhen would never be able to advance confidently in the supre martial path.
But you can’t spend a thousand days guarding against thieves instead of catching them.
And when cutting weeds, the roots must be eradicated.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and suddenly, an incredibly bold plan erged in Ye Zhen’s mind.
However, the plan involved many factors and was extrely audacious, requiring Ye Zhen to think carefully before making a final decision.
A few breaths later, Ye Zhen returned to his tent, and in less than a quarter-hour, he received the summon to set off.
To Ye Zhen’s surprise, Old Seventh and Old Fifth, who had earlier accompanied Huaa Minghao, exhibited only Sixth Stage Establishnt cultivation in front of everyone, clearly having hidden their actual cultivation.
Half an hour later, a total of thirty-five martial artists boarded three large sea-crossing shuttles, setting off quietly towards the Black Dragon Domain.
In the cabin of the sea-crossing shuttle, all the martial artists were seated, either contemplating or cultivating, while Ye Zhen, with eyes tightly shut, was ticulously refining his plan.
Two days later, this fleet composed of three sea-crossing shuttles was attacked by over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Tier demon beasts, forcing the thirty-five Establishnt Realm kings to engage in battle outside the cabin.
The thirty-five Establishnt Realm martial artists swiftly eliminated over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Tier sea monsters, especially with an Eighth Stage Establishnt King in their ranks.
However, amidst the chaos, nobody noticed when Ye Zhen sprang into the sky, a wisp of cloud qi rising from his head, quickly rging with the mist in the distance.
If soone entered that cloud qi, they would discover that hidden within it was a miniature Cloud Winged Tiger King, its mouth grasping a jade scroll.
A jade scroll personally inscribed by Ye Zhen.
