Chapter 2302: They’ve Arrived (Second Update)

Chapter 2302 -2300: They’ve Arrived (Second Update)

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The drizzling rain in the sky turned heavier, raindrops akin to a storm poured continuously from the sky into the Dongting Lake below, splashing waves of toxicity, merging with the river’s poison, permeating the air.

At a glance, apart from the vast black river, there was nothing but the mingled toxins.

Suddenly, from the distant horizon, a terrifying might erupted, streaks of powerful spiritual light shot swiftly from the horizon to this direction, stopping above the Nine Heavens moments later.

Countless Spirit Boats blocking out the sky, innumerable giant Flying Puppet Beasts thousands of zhang high, numerous large flying True Spirits, stopped one after another in the air, centering around the Spirit Boat on the river below, leaving no gap for escape.

These already arrived forces of the Qingtian Fortress, along with some other Loose Cultivator True Spirits, and contingents from other great powers, did not rush to act but surrounded the area, preventing Zhang Xiaohao from escaping. One by one, they stood on the Spirit Boats, deploying their Divine Skills to survey the scene below. When they saw a man and a woman calmly sitting at a table, eating food, sipping wine, each mouth curled into a disdainful smile.

As if saying, you’re doomed! The Innate Xuantian Treasure emerging here is ours, whoever dares to fight us for it will only meet death.

Gradually, as time moved on, more and more forces rushed in from the horizon, stopping at the Nine Heavens moments later.

This phenomenon continued for almost a week before it ceased, yet Zhang Xiaohao seemed oblivious to it all, sitting leisurely on a chair, sipping wine, skewering barbecue, as if everything in the sky was but passing clouds.

“Young master, they’ve all arrived, and in considerable numbers too, it seems like there are at least over fifty billion troops! It’s a third of the entire Qingtian Fortress!” Hong Yi said seriously.

“Just over fifty billion? That’s too few!” Zhang Xiaohao shook his head indifferently.

Yet, in his tone, there was a deep sense of disillusionment.

“…” Hong Yi was speechless.

“Young master, among them are True Spirit old monsters of the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm, and not just one or two. Are we being overly bold here?” Hong Yi said worriedly.

“Have you ever seen a cat afraid of mice? Even if there are many mice, do they dare to act brazenly before a cat?” Zhang Xiaohao asked seriously.

“It seems not!” Hong Yi thought for a moment and said.

“Exactly! No matter how formidable they are, in front of me, they are like those cats! Regardless of their numbers or strength, they cannot stir up any storms.” Zhang Xiaohao said with confidence.

Seeing the worry still on Hong Yi’s face.

“Don’t worry, just eat! Eat your fill, and later we’ll have a brawl with them.” Zhang Xiaohao smiled and said.

“Mm.” Hong Yi nodded.

Picked up the chopsticks and began eating again.

After another three days, when the Clan Leader of the Xuanhuang Divine Lion Clan from Qingtian Fortress arrived, the surrounding True Spirits internally remarked that the show was about to start, each gripping their Lifebound Magical Treasure tightly, coldly watching Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi on the river.

“Vile woman, come out and meet your death!” The Clan Leader of the Xuanhuang Divine Lion Clan roared, his voice amplified by his strong cultivation, sweeping wildly around as if like a Mount Tai, bearing down on the Spirit Boat on the river with great might.

“Where did this Old Dog come from, who gave you such courage to shout around? Shut up for this young master!” Zhang Xiaohao rebuked coldly.

Without appearing to move, the colossal suppressing pressure vanished before even approaching the Spirit Boat, as if it had never appeared.

“Hmm? You do have some tricks! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, daring to lay hands on this clan leader’s beloved son!” The Xuanhuang True Monarch of the Xuanhuang Divine Lion Clan said murderously.

“A creature no better than swine and dogs, kill them as I please! Do I need to report to you, you Old Dog? If you also provoke me, I wouldn’t mind slaughtering you too!” Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.

“You brat! You are too arrogant, daring to shout before this clan leader, you’re courting death!” The murderous intent of the Xuanhuang True Monarch soared.

Yet he did not immediately act, casting a cold gaze over at the forces of various major powers, speaking coldly.

“This Clan Leader is now going to capture these two brats! If any of you are dissatisfied, feel free to come at me! This Clan Leader would like to see if this Clan Leader’s two-hundred billion True Spirit army can make you submit one by one!” The Xuanhuang True Monarch declared domineeringly.

“Is that so? Xuanhuang brat, you’re too arrogant! In that case, let’s properly experience your methods!”

“Hmph! Xuanhuang True Monarch, where do you get such arrogant confidence to boast before us!”

“Two hundred billion True Spirit army, is that a lot? We have over three hundred billion here, if you’re unsatisfied, feel free to charge!”

The leaders of the various major powers around responded with cold smiles.

They paid no mind to the threats of the Xuanhuang True Monarch.

The Xuanhuang True Monarch’s expression was extremely unpleasant, but he restrained himself, holding back his rage. Indeed, his numbers were only a mere two hundred billion, and their top combat power was not as numerous as his opponents, making them inferior in every aspect.

“Xuanhuang, listen well, you may seek revenge for your beloved son, that’s none of our business! But after your revenge, if you dare to covet that Innate Xuantian Treasure, don’t blame us for being unkind! Even if your Xuanhuang Divine Lion Clan is the proeminent True Spirit Clan of Qingtian Fortress, you will die!” An old monster of the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm said coldly.

“Hmph!” The Xuanhuang True Monarch snorted coldly.

Though extremely displeased internally, he swallowed his pride and anger, ordered, “Capture those two brats for this Clan Leader!” The Xuanhuang True Monarch commanded.

“Yes, Clan Leader!”

With his words, a group of over ten thousand guards responded respectfully. Among them, the weakest were of the Early Mahayana, led by a Middle Mahayana.

Immediately, over ten thousand guards, clad in black armor, wielding black spears, surged towards Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi with menacing Evil Qi.

These people, having taken the Poison Dragon Pill or Small Poison Dragon Pill beforehand, and carrying several thousand more along with other antidote elixirs, were full of confidence.
