Chapter 720 - 352: Benefits Galore
Bihai Palace.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, information from the Five Dragons Island Sea Region indicates that a fragment of a Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King’s soul was recently encountered at the edge of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.
This Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King is possessing and controlling cultivators to lure numerous Core Formation cultivators, likely to restore its strength and plot a way to escape..."
In the dimly lit main hall, the Nascent Soul Sixth Elder, who used to be aloof before outsiders, was now reporting the situation respectfully.
"Alright, just a frightened beast, if it wants to cause trouble, let it; at least it’s a useful pawn."
A shadow slowly appeared on the high seat in the main hall, frightening the Sixth Elder into shrinking his neck hastily.
The one appearing was none other than the Second Star Moon Palace Master of Bihai Palace, who now wore a half-smile, half-not look while staring at the Sixth Elder.
Causing the Sixth Elder to quickly lower his head, his eyes clearly showing a hint of evasion. If not for the Great Elder being in seclusion, he wouldn’t have come personally to report no matter what.
"Xiaoliu, I heard that in recent years, you have been slack in your cultivation, busying yourself with trivial gains all day. You truly bring glory to Bihai Palace."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder quickly cupped his hands, "I dare not, Your Highness!"
"Alright, my scolding is only to prevent you from wasting your talent. With this time, it’s better to cultivate properly. Even if scheming, focus on the big target, not these small matters."
Looking at the Sixth Elder below, the Second Palace Master also shook her head, realizing that this Xiaoliu seemed to be regressing with age.
Yet, remembering the shackles of her bloodline lineage, she sighed softly within.
If not for the bloodline shackles, who wouldn’t aspire to pursue the Great Dao?
"This beast still has some strength now, just right to deal with those old guys. Spread some rumors, and someone will take the bait.
However, in this remote sea region, there are people who managed to escape this beast."
"Second Palace Master, according to reports, it was the Sect Leader of the Profound Sound Pavilion and the loose cultivator Lin Chang’an who escaped together."
The Sixth Elder respectfully raised his hand, displaying the information of the two in the main hall.
In the shadow, the intelligence and portraits of the two were clearly documented.
When seeing Lin Chang’an’s information, the Second Palace Master rarely showed a look of realization, as if remembering something.
"So it’s him, seems to have some ability. And this little girl, at Core Formation Late Stage."
If Lin Chang’an had escaped alone, there might have been doubts.
But with the two joining forces, one at Core Formation Late Stage and one at Core Formation Middle Stage, along with a Tier Three Spirit Pet, it’s not impossible to escape.
When reporting to Bihai Palace, Lin Chang’an naturally didn’t claim credit for any kills but said both he and Fairy Ni Chang fled wounded.
"Alright, that place will open soon. Those old things have been plotting for hundreds of years; we should also start preparing."
"Yes!"
After the silhouette on the jade seat above the dimly lit main hall disappeared, the Sixth Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He would rather face the domineering Great Palace Master than this seemingly gentle Second Palace Master.
"Confounded beast, seems I’ll have to give it a warning; dare to stir up trouble!"
Thinking of how this Transformed Yin Spirit caused the Second Palace Master to remember him, the Sixth Elder ground his teeth in frustration.
Turning back, he first planned to fiercely intimidate the beast on the outskirts of the Ghost Wasteland.
...
Five Dragons Island Sea Region.
Since the last incident, Fairy Ni Chang returned to the Profound Sound Pavilion and went into seclusion, claiming to be healing from injuries.
Lin Chang’an also returned to Celestial Spring Peak, while the Four Seas Commerce Association was in an uproar.
However, after receiving messages from Bihai Palace, the entire Four Seas Commerce Association fell silent.
Celestial Spring Peak.
"Master, months ago it’s rumored the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace personally went to the Ghost Wasteland, the aura of a battle involving Nascent Soul cultivators could be sensed from a hundred miles away.
Later, we only heard the unwilling roar of the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King within the Ghost Wasteland. Subsequently, it was reported that the beast reached an agreement with Bihai Palace and would not encroach upon territories under Bihai Palace’s rule..."
In the pavilion, listening to the Sword Servant’s respectful report, Lin Chang’an, savoring tea, showed an odd expression.
"Not appearing within Bihai Palace’s rule, doesn’t this mean it’ll cause trouble in the Outer Sea."
Bihai Palace continues to be domineering as always, its actions demonstrating overlord authority, again causing unrest in the Outer Sea.
Lin Chang’an could anticipate that the Outer Sea might face substantial upheaval in the next decades, whether or not it’s the work of the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, its name would certainly be invoked.
No choice, in the human cultivators’ realm, these non-human entities have no say.
"Right, Master, the Four Seas Commerce Association sent a Tier Three Upper Grade Demon Pill and information on a wind attribute demon beast nest."
Gazing at the opened jade box revealing an earth attribute demon pill, Lin Chang’an displayed a satisfied smile.
This matter wasn’t his fault; encountering such enemies nearly cost him his life. The Four Seas Commerce Association compensated him to quell his anger.
As for the wind attribute demon beast nest information, Lin Chang’an swept it with his divine sense, then frowned in thought, eventually letting out a light sigh.
The target is too far, deeply embedded in a whirlpool of Demon Dao forces.
"Master, also, Bihai Palace cultivators sent spirit stones and elixirs."
Listening to the Sword Servant’s report, observing the spirit stone and cultivation resources sent this time.
Particularly the elixirs, all rare and enhancing cultivation, and notably, there was a bottle for Spirit Beasts, clearly meant for the Cyan-Horned Bull.
"Finally, it wasn’t a wasted report."
Seeing these spiritual objects, Lin Chang’an displayed a satisfied smile.
He returned diligently and reported to Bihai Palace first thing, precisely for these benefits.
