"Boom!"
The "Eversting Azure Cloud" was the most powerful secret teique of the Azure Cloud Pavilion. It allowed the user to transform into an Azure cloud. In Li Tianyi's hands, he had only mastered it to a rudimentary level. But now, trolled by one of the most a seniors, it gathered the clouds and mist in the sky, f another space—a thousaers of cloud and mist, like a divine being—and with a single punch, sent the masked man from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion hurtling towards the edge of the formation barrier.
"Hahaha!"
The masked man coughed up blood. Seeing Li Tianyi still advang, he ughed maniacally. "You're finished!" he decred. "I've taken the Rootless Soul Soil. In half an hour, even with your Hexa-Ren Divine Calasking your aura, the Wu will be able to find this pce. They might have already surrou!"
Hearing this, Li Tianyi also ughed, with a hint of mockery. "You've really beeen silly. We've been watg you for two years. Don't you think our Li family would have made preparations?"
"What do you mean?"
The masked man eechless. He slumped, looking towards the west, where smoke billowed and the forest had bee a sea of fire. That was...
The dire of the Beast-Loving Tribe!
Li Tianyi scoffed. "pared to the battle here, the destru of a Wu tribe would be far more attention-grabbing."
...
"That's the dire of the Beast-Loving Tribe! What happened?!"
"Are we still going after that spiritual treasure?"
"Go after what? The Azure Dynasty has invaded!"
On this day, all the tribes surrounding the Beast-Loving Tribe were rushing towards it!
At this moment, The Beast-Loving Tribe, where Li Yaowen had colborated, had bee a sea of fire. Uhe bright daylight, a crimson exparetched out. The blood on the ground had gealed due to the high temperature, mixing with the soil and ash.
The members of the Beast-Loving Tribe were fleeing.
Elder Shou Qing of the Beast-Loving Tribe k on the ground, cupping the soil of her tribe in her hands. Her face was streaked with tears.
Today, she was supposed to follow the pn she had made with Li Yaowen, bringing the hidden priests of the Beast-Loving Tribe to Hundred Mountains to seize the "Rootless Soul Soil" together as their bargaining chip.
But...
A group of demons desded upon the Beast-Loving Tribe. They came from out of nowhere, uedly invading their nd and attag the tribe's priests directly!
"Boom!"
They were like the fmes of this day, dev everything, like the King of Hell crawling out from the underworld.
Ihaime it takes an inse stick to burn, she could no longer sehe presence of the priest!
"Whoosh~"
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The heavy footsteps echoed from in front of the kneeling Shou Qing. All around her were t trees and houses, engulfed in fmes and colpsing. She saw them, the enormous figures emerging from the bze!
It was a gigantic python, its dark silhouette visible amidst the fmes, excitedly swaying. In its mouth, it held the Beast-Loving Tribe's divi, raised by the priest and on the verge of transf into a Floon.
Beh it, A dark figure approached, carrying a sword case on his bad strolling leisurely. Then, with a bed sword in his hand that looked as if it could shatter at any moment, he sshed at the sky, and a Golden Core elder plummeted from the air.
"I told you not to set things on fire, you damn shere were so many arees here, so many heavenly treasures, and your thunder fmes have burhem all!"
A woman in a grimy white robe approached, muttering pints. The giant python lowered its head after a sharp reprimand.
Then, seven tall and imposing figures appeared, along with a handsome man who was slightly shorter than them and carried a rge saber on his back.
They came from the fmes, emerging from the fiery depths of the hell.
They gradually came into focus in Shou Qing's eyes.
"g... g..."
The ons they carried ged against each other or scraped against the ground, the sounds grating on the ears.
Especially, Li Yaowen, who was being pushed forward. This woman, who had been colborating with the Beast-Loving Tribe, always speaking softly aly, like a refreshing spring breeze, was still smiling amidst the fmes.
"Why?! Why?!"
Shou Qingqing screamed hoarsely. She used to love Li Yaowen's smile, but now she wao tear her mouth apart and burn her body to use as fertilizer for the Beast-Loving Tribe!
Li Yaowen said calmly, "This was also part of our colboration. You helped us obtain the Rootless Soul Soil. gratutions, you succeeded. Our Li family members have acquired it, and you have successfully diverted the attention of the other Wu members."
"Iure, we Li family members will fulfill our part of the colboration aroy the other Beast Division tribes."
Shou Qing's mi bnk.
"No... this isn't right! reement wasn't like this! The price we have to pay shouldn't be like this!"
She seemed to have gone mad, crawling frantically on the ground, trying tle Li Yaowen.
Li Yaowen tio gaze calmly at Shou Qing. Her old friend of many years now had a ferocious expression, her eyes filled with hatred. Her gaze held the most venomous curses and insults imaginable.
Li Yaowen didn't even bother to defend herself, simply watg Shou Qing's desperate struggle.
"Thud!"
Li Yaozu's sword easily pierced Shou Qing's chest. Sword energy surged through her body, severing all her life force. Then, he grabbed the Beast-Loving Tribe elder's hair and dragged her along the ground, ign her kig legs.
Li Yaozu gnced around and said in a low voice, "Let's go. We've achieved oal. The Wu is on their way."
"Yes."
Li Yaowen nodded slightly, with a glimmer of uanding in her eyes. She gave a final g Shou Qing, whose eyes were filled with rese. "In your life," she said, "never resort to schemes and treachery. You have no idea how dangerous it be or the burden it pces on you. Because if things g, you'll only end up destroying everything you hold dear."
