Kun Kun's answer plunged Yu Qingtan into deep thought. Her heart was filled with even greater doubts, unable to understand why the Fifth Stage Late Period Sea Sovereign of the Bibo Kun Clan would suddenly order an attack on Yueqing Immortal City.
"Kun Kun, have you heard any rumors or grievances between Fairy Qingtan and the Bibo Kun Clan?" Yu Qingtan continued to probe, hoping to get so clues from Kun Kun's response.
Kun Kun furrowed his brows, appearing to recall sothing, before he slowly spoke, "Rumors... The Wendao Sect and our Bibo Kun Clan have so enmities, but those are old stories, what could they have to do with this Fairy Qingtan who's not even twenty."
As he spoke, the two Kuns had already arrived at the Council Hall of the Bibo Kun Clan.
Within the hall, it was resplendent with gold and glittering magnificence, overwhelming in its spaciousness. Over a hundred Fourth Stage Bibo Kun Kings filled it, yet it did not feel the least bit crowded even with their hundred-zhang fras.
In the center stood a massive Coral Throne, inlaid with various rare gemstones, twinkling with dazzling light.
The surrounding walls were engraved with totamistic depictions of all kinds of marine life, so lifelike that they seed ready to leap out from the walls at any mont.
At the mont, the atmosphere inside the hall was sowhat tense. After the disguised Qingtan, Kun Ying, and Kun Kun entered the hall, they attracted the attention of many Bibo Kun Kings.
"Kun Ying, you've also returned!" A Fourth Stage Mid Period Bibo Kun King ca forward with an expression of joy on his face.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to escape with my life," Yu Qingtan replied in the guise of Kun Ying, while secretly observing the situation in the hall.
There were no Fifth Stage Sea Sovereigns within the hall; the Fourth Stage Sea Kings were either whispering in groups or ditating with eyes closed.
To avoid increasing the risk of exposure, Yu Qingtan engaged in a brief conversation with the few Bibo Kun Kings who had co to show their concern, and then she too closed her eyes to rest.
After one day, no other Bibo Kun Kings returned. Suddenly, six even larger Bibo Kuns appeared on the Coral Throne in the center, exuding the aura of Fifth Stage Sea Sovereigns; among them, the largest one was probably Ancestor Kun Ming.
Ancestor Kun Ming slowly opened his eyes, sweeping his gaze around the hall, which finally landed on the disguised Qingtan, Kun Ying.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, Yu Qingtan felt an overwhelming pressure striking her face, almost rendering her breathless.
"This attack on Yueqing Immortal City has cost our clan dearly," Ancestor Kun Ming's voice was deep and authoritative, echoing in the hall, "Now, we need to discuss our next plan, Wendao Sect must pay the price."
"Ancestor, I think we should recuperate for a while and not provoke the Human Race lightly anymore," a Fifth Stage Early Period Bibo Kun Sovereign tentatively spoke.
"Hmph, the Human Race has killed so many of our clan mbers, how can such a deep blood feud be easily forgotten?" Ancestor Kun Ming snorted coldly.
The questioning Fifth Stage Bibo Kun didn't dare to say more, and the Fourth Stage Bibo Kuns naturally didn't dare to object. In fact, so of them agreed wholeheartedly with Ancestor Kun Ming's statent, their eyes reddening with the desire for revenge.
"Ancestor, I heard that the Demon Race in the Yunhua Mountain Range is also dealing with Wendao Sect, we could ally with them!" a Fourth Stage Late Period Bibo Kun King suggested.
"Mm, good, you go and make contact!"
"Ancestor, the Extre Path Demon Sect has always been at odds with Wendao Sect, can we also join forces with them?"
"The Extre Path Demon Sect is also of the Human Race, how would they ally with us?"
"Of course it won't work openly, but behind the scenes... with a terrifying existence like Fairy Qingtan, the Extre Path Demon Sect certainly isn't happy to see her grow!"
"So is the Red Dust Demon Sect planning...?"
The Bibo Kun Clan's eting, with the support of Elder Kun Ming, ended quickly. The basic approach they decided on was to unite all possible forces against the Wendao Sect and to dispatch a series of liaisons.
Afterward, Kun Ying, disguised as Yu Qingtan, returned to her cave abode, but she quickly ca out again.
This ti, Yu Qingtan disguised herself as a transparent jellyfish and used the Trace Concealnt Technique to hide herself, rging with the seawater as if becoming one with it.
Such jellyfish were very common in the Bibo Sea Area, growing up to the Second Stage at most, and since the Bibo Kun didn't like to eat them, they paid no attention to these commonplace creatures.
The formation around Elder Kun Ming's cave did not defend against such jellyfish. Thus, Yu Qingtan drifted smoothly into Elder Kun Ming's cave.
The jellyfish, disguised as Yu Qingtan, naturally wandered around the outskirts of Elder Kun Ming's cave and was surprised to see Elder Kun Ming eting with soone from the Human Race.
"Qin Yuxuan, I've killed that Yu Qingtan twice, even at the cost of wasting a chess piece and the lives of many clan mbers. Shouldn't you give
that item now?"
Atop Elder Kun Ming's head was a black horn, the very Middle-grade Dao Artifact, the Nether Annihilation Spike, that had previously escaped.
"Qin Yuxuan, so it's this person! The Dongyu Qian Family, ostensibly agreeing not to go after
anymore, yet using these underhanded thods behind the scenes," Yu Qingtan thought to herself.
Having killed so many from the Qian Family in the Eastern Region, she naturally gathered all the information she could about the Qian Family. She knew that the Qin Family, where Qin Xuan Ji, the beloved concubine of the killed Family Head ng De, belonged, had an ancestor in the Initial Nascent Soul Stage—Qin Yuxuan himself.
Qin Yuxuan, in a black robe with a smile on his face, appeared gentle and refined, but Yu Qingtan could faintly sense from him a cultivation level that made her wary.
Qin Yuxuan gently twirled his beard and spoke slowly, "Elder Kun Ming, you have indeed made considerable efforts, but what I want is for Yu Qingtan to be completely dead. Otherwise, forget about getting that item!"
A flicker of anger passed through Elder Kun Ming's eyes, but he seed to be holding back due to so concern and, repressing his rage, said, "Qin Yuxuan, don't be ungrateful!
Yu Qingtan is nearly at the Divinity Transformation level and has who knows how many Fifth Stage Life-Substitute Talismans. Killing her twice has already been a huge challenge.
If I don't get that item, don't bla
for turning hostile!"
A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Qin Yuxuan's mouth, "Turn hostile? Would you dare? Unless you're really prepared to die old in this Outer Realm, once you're in the Central Domain, you'll know the consequences of offending the Qian Family."
Elder Kun Ming's face darkened instantly upon hearing Qin Yuxuan's mockery. Though enraged, he dared not lightly offend the Qian Family, an overwhelming power.
He took a deep breath, strived to stabilize his emotions, and then said in a grave voice, "Qin Yuxuan, how about you first give
the item, and once I break through in strength, no matter how many Life-Substitute Talismans Yu Qingtan has, she will have to die."
Qin Yuxuan was slightly taken aback; he clearly hadn't expected Elder Kun Ming to respond like that. Then, the corners of his mouth curved upwards as he said lightly, "Do I look like a fool to you?
Don't start with such nonsense, as long as Yu Qingtan is dead, that item will naturally be handed over to you. Otherwise, there's no way I would give it to you!
Even if you don't trust , you should trust the Soul Oath Contract!"
