In the astonished gaze of the crowd, a Sky Dragon Bat soared above Flowing Wave Island. On the back of the dragon bat sat an old man with a gaunt face.
The old man had snow-white hair tied into a large bun, and his beard was also white, secured with a ribbon, resembling a braid that hung down to his belly. This man was Su Shiyi.
"Hehehehe."
Su Shiyi looked down at the people below Flowing Wave Island and let out a sinister laugh. His expression was so strange that it evoked disgust.
"Defender of the Realm, I’m leaving now, not staying with you any longer."
The Defender of the Realm was furious, pointing directly at Su Shiyi and shouting loudly. Waves of Qigong energy erupted like rolling thunder towards the ascending Su Shiyi.
At the same time, those below who were still conscious also let out thunderous roars, all shouting in unison. Those who had just been stunned quickly regained their senses and joined in the uproar, trying to shout Su Shiyi down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of thousands of voices roared together, their sound more immense than thunder in the sky, creating an astonishing scene. Even the Revered Divine Bird seemed affected, opening its sharp and long beak to emit a piercing cry.
Yin Boqing and Shaobai Star Lord were still hovering in the sky, with their Dharmakaya manifested by Yin Spirit charging forward. One wielded a Five-Colored Ring while the other used a shuttle-shaped star energy, continuously striking at the Revered Divine Bird.
However, around the divine bird was an overwhelming force that acted like a protective shield, keeping them at bay and preventing them from getting any closer; no matter how hard they tried, they could not advance even an inch.
Su Shiyi had played all his tricks and finally awaited the appearance of the Revered Divine Bird. He knew that once the Revered Divine Bird appeared, he could turn despair into hope and escape from this place.
The Revered Divine Bird could definitely counter both Yin Boqing and Shaobai Star Lord simultaneously; both were Void Immortals. Why was there such a difference? Because the Revered Divine Bird had a prior advantage: it possessed Spirit-Body Unity, something neither Yin Boqing nor Shaobai Star Lord had.
Indeed, it was Spirit-Body Unity, equivalent to life merging as one and yin-yang unification. Flesh and Yin Spirit were not separated; it could use Spells and Qigong—this is what Spirit-Body Unity entails.
In Yin Spirit cultivation, there exists a mysterious and marvelous realm that does not belong to Yin Zhen's cultivation levels. It is akin to Fist Shadow within Qigong Fist Technique—both are anomalies above standard cultivation.
Fist Technique generates Fist Shadow due to its speed. Similarly, Yin Spirit can enter Spirit-Body Unity because it has comprehended that realm in Spells and cultivation.
The Spirit-Body Unity of the Revered Divine Bird is a significant advantage, surpassing everyone present, including Yin Boqing. There are very few individuals in the lower realm who possess such fortune, and it can only be obtained through cultivation. Even fewer can achieve Spirit-Body Unity; it is almost unheard of.
Su Shiyi wanted to use the power of the Sky Dragon Bat to leap onto the back of the Revered Divine Bird and escape the scene, but he was held back by the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people.
At this moment, he found himself unable to advance or retreat, and fleeing felt utterly hopeless, as if he were truly about to meet his end here.
“Bang bang bang”
At a critical moment, the Revered Divine Bird unleashed its might once more, releasing a powerful wave of energy from its massive body that directly countered the shouts of the hundreds of thousands. The two forces intertwined like vines.
Ultimately, the two sound waves wrapped around each other, forming clumps of energy spheres that tumbled down like stones, crashing into the sea and exploding with a thunderous roar. This created enormous waves that acted like a curtain of water, isolating Flowing Wave Island from the outside world.
Such a miraculous power left everyone astonished once again, and they couldn't help but marvel at the divine bird's capabilities, which were far superior to those of humans.
Lu Chen licked his lips, drooling at the thought. If he could possess this divine bird, how could he not obtain the Exogenous Stone from overseas? Why would he need Chen Qilin to spend years and countless Silver and Gold to construct Salvage Equipment?
The Revered Divine Bird erupted with divine power, sending a massive wave of energy scattering outward, knocking Yin Boqing and Shaobai Star Lord back into the water curtain.
However, how could they be mere spectators? They quickly dissipated the recoil force and soared back into the air while the water curtain had not yet fallen.
Before long, the enormous water curtain completely vanished. Everyone saw a Sky Dragon Bat screaming as it plummeted into the mountains and forests on Flowing Wave Island. Then came the distant figure of the Revered Divine Bird gliding gracefully away.
In a crucial moment, Su Shiyi made a bold decision; he abandoned his mount and flew onto the back of the Revered Divine Bird to escape. It was a courageous act akin to severing one's own wrist.
The Sky Dragon Bat that Su Shiyi rode was also a precious creature; it had surely been tamed by him and was different from those wild beasts. Yet at this life-and-death moment, Su Shiyi still chose to abandon it and used it as a stepping stone.
Yin Boqing and Shaobai Star Lord transformed into two streaks of light, desperately chasing after the Revered Divine Bird. They were intent on hunting down Su Shiyi; he had to provide an explanation for the deaths of Young Sovereign and Yellow Brow Ancestor.
As the Revered Divine Bird departed, the roars of hundreds of thousands ceased, and Flowing Wave Island suddenly fell into tranquility.
The Defender of the Realm quietly hovered in the sea aboard a large ship, while behind him, the Civil and Military Officials exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
The Defender of the Realm closed his eyes, revealing a pained expression. His wide sleeves completely covered his arms, exposing only his tightly clenched fists resting on his abdomen.
Swallowing hard, the Defender of the Realm seemed to age significantly in that moment. He felt particularly distressed; the victory that had once seemed within reach had slipped away, and capturing the ancient criminal Su Shiyi had become a mere illusion. For him, this felt no different than losing a war.
Unable to rid himself of the thorn that was Su Shiyi, returning to the court would inevitably lead to accusations from both civil and military officials, public condemnation, and various pressures that could lead to his downfall.
However, the Great Zhou Court's army had at least made it this far. The Su Family's conspiracy had been thwarted, and the Sky Dragon Bats and Undead Soldiers had been nearly exterminated. The task of pursuing Su Shiyi would be handled by Yin Boqing from the Five Element Sect and Shaobai Star Lord from Star Gate. It was now time to clean up the battlefield.
The remains of the court soldiers must be buried properly, and the corpses of the Sky Dragon Bats and Undead Soldiers also needed to be dealt with—either burned or buried deeply—otherwise, they could cause plagues or other infectious diseases.
These matters would be organized by personnel from the Great Zhou Court. As for the other members of the Alliance Army, they were merely there for support; cleaning up the battlefield was not their responsibility, and now that things had concluded, they would naturally leave.
Various factions began to gather in groups: members from the Five Element Sect, Star Gate, Eastern Shaolin's Monk Soldiers, Qi Kingdom, Giant Barbarian Island, and others each formed their own camps around Flowing Wave Island.
As night fell, everyone planned to rest here for one night before beginning their retreat in the morning.
Under the bright moonlight and gentle sea breeze, with the earth washed clean and a tranquil coastline, tents were set up and campfires crackled with a few people scattered around them.
Lu Chen did not have his own tent; he intended to stay temporarily with Jiang Jie and others since they would be leaving in the morning anyway.
Jiang Jie, Lu Renjia, Jiang Youdang, and a few others were quite generous; being peers and brothers from the Five Element Sect meant they did not mind crowding together.
Inside a large tent, four or five people gathered together to chat casually, including Princess Zhulan. It was not yet time to rest, so she had come over to Lu Chen and Jiang Jie’s tent for some light conversation.
Yushan Kingdom was originally part of the Alliance Army that aimed to encircle the Su Family; however, Yushan Kingdom only sent its Navy. Compared to this war effort, the Navy played a minimal role—not because it was ineffective but because most battles had taken place on land rather than at sea.
Princess Zhulan sat among Lu Chen and others in the tent, chatting cheerfully. Having known them for some time now made her feel at ease; she displayed an air of confidence befitting a princess—graceful and dignified.
At the same time, in a camp of the Qi Kingdom.
Zhao Centipede, Yellow Scorpion Master, and Lu Chanchu, the Three Poisons Wanderers, gathered together to discuss matters.
Zhao Centipede paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, his expression filled with fury. He was constantly thinking about one person: Lu Chen.
At this moment, Zhao Centipede was not a real person but a manifestation of Yin Spirit. From the perspective of Yin Spirit, he was a mass of void Yin fire, rather than a strong Yang Qi Flame like a living being.
His Flesh was still with Lu Chen, imprisoned in the space of Jun Bell and suppressed. Without his Flesh, after forty-nine days, his Yin Spirit would dissipate into nothingness. This made him feel angry and anxious.
When he confronted Lu Chen, he had taken Lu Chen's Demon-Slaying Sword while Lu Chen had taken his Flesh. They both had their own leverage; however, Ye Nanzhai suddenly intervened, not only taking Lu Chen away but also seizing the Demon-Slaying Sword from him. Even Zhao Centipede's own Flesh was lost and swept away with Lu Chen.
This incident was witnessed by many and had already spread widely; it was even a disgrace for the Three Poisons Wanderers. This is why Zhao Centipede was so enraged, reaching the peak of his fury.
If Lu Chen were to appear before him now, he would likely pounce on him immediately and tear him to shreds.
In addition to this, Zhao Centipede held a grudge against Lu Chen for another reason: his beloved treasure, the Flying Centipede that he had nurtured with his blood, was killed by Lu Chen using the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad. This enmity remained unresolved.
Yellow Scorpion Master also had an unresolvable grudge against Lu Chen.
