"General, do you think those fleeing troops might still be laying an ambush?"
"Not just might be laying an ambush; they will definitely be laying one. Our movents have been exposed. Those prey, suppressed to the point of breathlessness, will definitely want a significant victory to boost their morale. But I, Moya, am not easy to provoke."
"Understood, General."
...
Bodhi looked at the cultivator appearing before his eyes, his face showing a flicker of surprise. After scrutinizing him carefully for a mont, he suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you’re that unlucky fool who was abandoned?"
Jian Wuli looked up at the towering figure before him and calmly said, "I am that unlucky fool, but it seems you are as well."
Eight large eyes stared fixedly at Jian Wuli as Bodhi sneered, "I think I’m quite fortunate."
"Wood. I rember that the True Demon Clan mber in charge of this world was called Wood."
"Before he died, he claid he ca from the greatest family in the True Demon Clan. He also said if we killed him, his family would destroy this world for him," Jian Wuli said unhurriedly.
"Pah! A piece of trash that relies on his family. I fought my way up step by step," Bodhi said with utter loathing.
A large black hand landed on Jian Wuli’s shoulder as Bodhi said grimly, "I don’t care how you got in here. If you can’t say sothing that satisfies , then you might as well beco my rations."
"Dao Yi and Dao Yi are different."
Jian Wuli looked at the large hand on his shoulder, his heart sinking. This guy’s divine power is so strong, at least ten tis my own!
"I can provide you with information on the cultivators who fled that year. I can also give you so intelligence and even help you pinpoint those dust-like micro-worlds."
"What would I need to provide?" Bodhi’s expression shifted.
Wood’s family influence within the True Demon Clan was indeed imnse. Apart from the necessary harvesting, Bodhi was primarily here to investigate the cultivators who had besieged and killed Wood, especially those who had escaped to the Supre True Realm.
"Let us go to the True Realm," Jian Wuli said gravely.
"Impossible. The higher-ups would never allow anyone to escape," Bodhi rejected without a second thought.
Jian Wuli said somberly, "I can help you obtain the Heavenly Dao."
GULP.
"Is that true?" Bodhi asked, his face alight with greed.
"It’s said that in the True Realm, the cultivation classification is different; Dao Yi is considered a True Immortal. Above True Immortal, cultivation to a higher realm requires the true Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao of the Star Sea Realm has absorbed the comprehension of Immortals over many years. While it might not compare to the Dao of the True Realm, it’s not far off. In so aspects, it might even surpass it considerably."
"One hundred spots."
"Not enough."
"Think it over, General. I need to go to the True Realm to seek revenge against those people. All you want are rits and benefits."
"Allowing people like us to escape to the True Realm wouldn’t cause you much loss."
Watching the figure dissipate before him like a bubble, Bodhi suddenly burst into laughter. "Interesting, very interesting."
...
「Valley」
In the Green Bamboo Realm, Chen Jiuge was digesting a Law Crystal. Sowhat annoyed, he opened the door to his private chamber and frowned. "Mo Yu, what’s wrong?"
"Brother Chen, I didn’t an to disturb your cultivation. However, the situation in the valley is dire. The conflict between our people and the Crystal Clan is escalating rapidly."
"There have been dozens of clashes in just the past two days."
After carefully reviewing the records, Chen Jiuge frowned. "Is it all because of the cultivation grounds?"
"On the surface, yes. But in reality, many cultivators are also fighting over Law Crystals."
"What does Jing Gao say?"
"He hasn’t said anything, rely stating that it’s no big deal if the subordinates squabble. Senior Brother Yue has argued with him multiple tis and even resorted to action."
"Take there."
When the Crystal Clan first arrived, Chen Jiuge had specifically allocated an area for their settlent. But even before reaching their designated zone, he saw rows of crystal-like cave mansions.
"I don’t recall assigning this area to the Crystal Clan, did I?" Chen Jiuge tilted his head.
"No."
"Hahaha, Divine Son, what brings you to our humble abode!" Jing Gao approached with a booming laugh. Behind him followed Jing Wenshu and two others, who seed hesitant to et Chen Jiuge’s gaze.
"Jing Gao, you’ve arrived just in ti. Explain this to ," Chen Jiuge said, offering no courtesy.
The smile froze on Jing Gao’s face. As expected of an old Heavenly Immortal, he quickly found an excuse. "Well, there are just so many people, and everyone, being Immortals, needs to cultivate. You know, cultivation..."
Chen Jiuge impatiently cut him off. "If you can’t manage them, I’ll do it for you!"
"If you’re unwilling, then get out! If you still don’t submit, then I’ll wipe you out!"
Jing Gao’s expression instantly turned grim. "Divine Son, what is the aning of this?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. I’m giving you one day." After walking a few steps, Chen Jiuge tilted his head. "This isn’t the area I assigned to you. You should know what to do!"
Watching Chen Jiuge depart, Jing Gao’s face was so dark it looked like water could drip from it. "What an Asura Divine Son! Truly decisive and swift."
"Third Uncle, what do we do?" Jing Wenshu asked, at a loss.
"What do we do? Naturally, we follow the Divine Son’s instructions."
"Wenshu, what did the clan say about the request for reinforcents you sent?"
Jing Wenshu replied, "The Clan Leader said the clan’s enterprises still require Heavenly Immortals to garrison them and cannot be spared for here. At most, they can dispatch another hundred Heavenly Immortals to us. As for True Immortals, they could send a thousand in support."
"True Immortals? What’s the point of sending them? The True Demon Clan would disdain them even as food! Just tell them to send another hundred Heavenly Immortals."
The next day, those Crystal Clan structures vanished without a trace.
In the days that followed, although further conflicts ceased in the valley, the atmosphere grew increasingly strange.
