...
The elental water green jiao dove into the bottom of the swamp, scrambling madly to get out.
Unfortunately, most of the water areas in this swamp were too shallow. Wherever it passed, it stirred up massive ripples on the water surface that made it impossible to hide its form.
It didn't get far.
Suddenly!
Another fairy treading on the waves ca, and wherever she went, waves cheered like they were carrying her forward. She made no noticeable moves, just a slight flick of her sleeve.
"Boom!"
It was as if an invisible bomb had exploded in the water, causing a column of water to soar into the sky and waves to roll like clouds. The shock wave beneath the water, ploughing through the soil, left the green jiao dazed, nearly turning belly up.
Before it could comprehend the situation, the water in the swamp, which was just seven or eight zhang deep, began to churn as if stirred by an invisible hand, spinning faster and faster to form a whirlpool.
The huge green jiao was like a pair of jeans in a washing machine, spinning around in disarray.
"Nicely done." Wang Shouzhe's voice chid in again, "It's said that Jiao blood is incredibly nourishing—and right now is when the kids at ho are growing. When you slaughter it, be mindful not to waste any of its blood."
"Roar~~~~" The green jiao roared in rage. What made you humans so detestable? What does it matter to this jiao if your kids are growing or not?
Couldn't you stop coveting the flesh and blood of this jiao?
However, the situation was indeed more powerful than the jiao. The previous human was already powerful, and the few who followed seed even stronger. The old Ancestor Dragon was right, good jiao do not eat imdiate loss.
Retreat is the best option.
After all, this green jiao was at the peak of level six and seed to have a strong bloodline. Despite facing repeated losses, it was still able to react quickly. Its massive tail coiling and uncoiling.
Taking advantage of the waves, it leaped into the air, like a lively and slippery eel soaring through the currents, fleeing towards the distance. In just over a dozen breaths, it had escaped to a great distance before fiercely diving into a larger, deeper bubble.
The journey, however, wasn't smooth. Relying on its thick skin and strong physique, it barely handled another sword attack from Old Ancestor Longyan, suffering additional injuries.
The ripples in the bubble stirred up waves of spray.
That was the nature of the Wild Marsh. It comprised a multitude of small and large bubbles linked together by mudflats, forming a vast swampy land. During the rainy season, all kinds of mudflats would be swallowed up, forming a huge ocean-like swamp.
By the ti Wang Shouzhe and the others arrived, the green jiao had either hidden itself or slipped away quietly— there was no trace of it.
"That big mudfish sure runs fast," Wang Shouzhe laughed lightly, showing no signs of disappointnt.
Longyan Old Ancestor rolled his eyes, It only ran so fast because you kept talking about slaughtering it and feeding it to your kids. Of course, it would run desperately when the situation turned dire.
anwhile.
The two old ancestors of the Wang Family ca flying in, supporting each other in mid-air, looking rather battered and seriously injured.
As soon as they arrived, they excitedly bowed to Wang Shouzhe and the others, saying, "Thank you, Master Shouzhe, for coming to our aid. Thank Old Ancestor Longyan and this... Immortal for saving us."
Liu Ruolan, who usually stayed at ho, had a completely different appearance when she ca out to handle affairs. Therefore, the prominent families among the Southern Six Guards only knew that Old Ancestor Longyan was formidable, but they didn't realize that the Duchess of Wang was an even more fearso hidden figure.
At this mont, Fairy Liu Ruolan was shimring with an extraordinary aura, completely unlike the traditional woman who loved to take care of her husband and teach her children. Instead, she resembled those peerless beauties from the sacred land....only that her aura was more serene.
"Elder Kunyuan, Elder Chengye, you are too polite," Wang Shouzhe returned the bow warmly, "The Wang Family of the Guardian City and the Wang Family of Zhenze are kin and kindred of the Southern Six Guards of Longzuo. It's our duty to help each other out when facing external enemies, no need for extra etiquette.
Besides, the current upheaval in the Great Wilderness Marsh is a threat to our Wang's Large Pasture. We also need to resolve this crisis."
Wang Shouzhe's words were truthful and sincere, without any pretence
After exchanging glances, the two old Wang ancestors felt a wave of sha. They had been rushing to support Elder Kunyuan's breakthrough the Advanced Stage of the Celestial being to dominate the Southern Six Guards and accumulate the resources of the Southern Six Guards to support Elder Kunyuan's breakthrough into the Purple Abode Realm.
Compared to the attitude of the Wang family, they felt that their horizons had been too narrow.
"Master Shouzhe's broad-mindedness truly makes ashad," Elder Kunyuan bowed again.
"Not at all," Wang Shouzhe shifted the topic, "Elder Kunyuan, do you have any clues about the upheaval in the Great Wilderness Marsh?" What he referred to as the Great Wilderness Marsh was actually just this small area.
The actual large-scale Great Wilderness Marsh was a vast swamp area across the Peace River, reputed to be inhabited by several level seven Great Yao creatures, into which even cultivators of the Purple Abode Realm dare not venture recklessly.
Only there could it be called the actual Great Wilderness Marsh. The area in front of them, according to Wang Shouzhe's naming convention, could only be called the Small Wild Marsh.
However, even as just a corner of the Great Wild Marsh, this swamp area was still extrely spacious, at least the size of several Guard City territories.
