Chapter 400: Assembly

Right at this moment, the communication array beside Han Li suddenly lit up, following which a crimson projection of Daoist Hu Yan appeared, and it declared, "Fellow Daoist Li, come meet us at Sea Fig Island right away."noVelbIn

This was the exact same island that all of the Transient Guild members had been instructed to assemble at prior to carrying out the mission on Red Moon Island.

"Sea Fig Island... Could it be that the entrance of the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor really is beneath Red Moon Island?"

"It sounds like you've also seen that piece of information circulating in the guild. The news is most likely true, so come and meet up with us right now," Daoist Hu Yan urged.

"Alright, I'll set off right away," Han Li replied with a nod, then concluded the communication and stowed the communication array plate away before flying toward the surface of the sea.

Moments later, a streak of azure light emerged from the sea, then flew away into the distance.

......

Elsewhere in the Black Wind Sea, all of the Vast Flow Palace's cultivators were traveling on a large blue flying boat.

"Red Moon Island... Its location isn't very secluded, nor is it close to the center of the Black Wind Sea, so it can be easily missed," Luo Qinghai murmured to himself with a contemplative expression as he stood at the bow of the boat.

Hovering in front of him was a small blue light screen that depicted all of the islands littered throughout the Black Wind Sea.

At this moment, there were four people standing behind him, consisting of a middlea-ged man wearing a feathered hat, a young scholar with a fair complexion holding a blue feather fan, a quiet and serious-looking elderly man with a black beard, and a man wearing a conical bamboo hat that was positioned very low to conceal his facial features.

What was particularly noteworthy was that the man in the conical bamboo hat was missing both of his arms.

As for the other Vast Flow Palace cultivators, including Nan Kemeng, they were all standing a bit further away.

"I did previously conduct a search on Red Moon Island, but at the time, I wasn't able to find anything. Perhaps I was too negligent," the young scholar said slightly furrowed brows.

"If the Northern Glacial Immortal Palace really did set up concealment restrictions well in advance, then it would be impossible to uncover the location of the entrance through conventional means, so don't blame yourself. I don't know who leaked this piece of information, but my intuition tells me that it's true," Luo Qinghai said.

A hint of excitement appeared on the young scholar's face upon hearing this, and the serious-looking elderly man also raised his head with a faint gleam in his eyes.

Even the conical bamboo hat of the armless man shifted ever so slightly, and all of the other Vast Flow Palace cultivators that were further away were also displaying reactions of excitement.

Luo Qinghai didn't say anything further as he made a hand seal, and the blue flying boat instantly sped up, flying onward as a giant blue shadow.

......

In the sky above another area of the Black Wind Sea, all of the Dawn Fall Sect cultivators were gathered together.

Even though there wasn't much spiritual light radiating from his body, he was wearing a compact suit of spirit armor that he had refined over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, yet it wasn't able to pose any resistance against the white snake.

A burst of white flames shot out of the snake's mouth before striking the nascent soul, instantly freezing it solid.

Immediately thereafter, the white snake opened its mouth up wide to devour the frozen nascent soul before shooting back toward Qu Ling.

Xue Shan gave a muffled groan, and his body was turned around by the force of the white snake's withdrawal.

Standing behind him was Qu Ling with a cold look on her face and a large white snake wrapped around her body, flicking its forked tongue out in a menacing fashion.

"What the hell are you doing, you insane woman!"

"Patriarch..."

All of this had taken place so abruptly that only now did the Xue Clan cultivators realize that their patriarch had been attacked, and all of them immediately flared up with rage, releasing a vast array of spirit treasures in the blink of an eye, as if they were already prepared for something like this.

A cold sneer appeared on Qu Ling's face as she swept a sleeve through the air to release a ball of golden light, which transformed into a giant golden beetle that was several hundred feet in size to keep the barrage of oncoming spirit treasures at bay.

"Why..." Xue Shan asked with great difficulty as the vitality rapidly seeped out of his body.

"I only approached your Xue Clan as I wasn't familiar with the Black Wind Sea and required a guide. Now that the location of the immortal manor's entrance has been revealed, I no longer require your services," Qu Ling explained in a cold voice, then flicked a finger through the air, and a hole was instantly punched through Xue Shan's glabella.

The light in his eyes faded, and his lifeless body crumpled to the ground.

Qu Ling then cast her gaze toward the giant golden beetle, which was standing firm against the barrage of spirit treasures with ease, completely unscathed by the attacks.

However, it certainly didn't enjoy being attacked, and a furious look appeared in its eyes as it swept its two front legs through the air, releasing two translucent streaks of light that severed a pair of spirit treasures like a hot knife through butter.

All of the Xue Clan cultivators were astonished to see this.

"There's no way we can defeat her! We have to split up and run!" the long-faced man roared, then flew away as a streak of white light, doing so in such a hurry that he was even leaving his spirit treasures behind.

Everyone else immediately snapped back to their senses upon hearing this before also fleeing in different directions.

"None of you are getting away!" Qu Ling sneered as she flicked a finger through the air, and the golden beetle instantly lashed out with its two front legs once again, releasing two thick streaks of translucent light that were each over 100 feet in length.

The two streaks of light shuddered slightly, then split up into around a dozen smaller streaks of light that swept toward the Xue Clan cultivators at an astonishing speed, reaching them in the blink of an eye before slicing through their protective treasures and the protective spiritual light around their bodies with ease.

A string of agonized wails rang out as all of the Xue Clan cultivators were sliced to shreds along with their spirit treasures, and a faint smile appeared on Qu Ling's face as she swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of silver light, which swept up Xue Shan's body before dragging it toward her.

She inspected the body briefly, then stowed it away as she turned to the golden beetle with a smile and said, "Golden Immortals make for good sources of sustenance, but there's no need to hurry, the best delicacies are still yet to come."

After that, she withdrew the giant golden beetle as well before flying away as a streak of silver light.
