Return Ambush

Hua Qiang won first place in the Martial Arts Tournament, but the biggest winner was Huo Cangliang.

The mountain of resource rewards almost made him burst into tears.

Over the years, as the head of the Azure Cloud Sect, only God knows how difficult his life has been!

The Azure Cloud Sect is too poor!

They lack cultivation techniques, weapons and equipment, Pills materials, and... most importantly, disciples with exceptional talent.

Now all the difficulties have been overcome, and these shortcomings have been addressed.

With Hua Qiang's presence, he was not worried at all that his next recruitment would be snatched away by other sects in the surrounding area.

Previously, the Demon God Palace, the Human Emperor Hall, and various top-tier sects had all invited Hua Qiang to join them.

He was extremely anxious at the time, fearing that Hua Qiang would succumb to temptation and eventually switch sides.

Healing...

Looking at Hua Qiang beside him, he wished he could hold him in the palm of his hand!

Baby!

Absolutely a gem!

When you get back, you must praise your daughter to the skies.

How do you have such a keen eye?

He snatched a rich and handsome husband right away!

The key point is that she's also pregnant with Hua Qiang's child; this is the kind of thing that's about to take off!

On the Cloud Boat, Hua Qiang dismissed all the fans surrounding him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it's quiet.

He sat cross-legged and began to communicate with the Life Divine Tree, wanting to know about his situation in the Lower Realm.

A few minutes later, Hua Qiang's face twitched slightly.

It seems that the female body has a lot of romantic luck, and this male body seems even better!

How long has it been?

Two more have joined the bandwagon, no, it should be three now.

The love god Shiva, whom he rescued from the ice coffin, also followed him, and his cultivation level reached the Martial Sovereign Realm Peak.

It seems that the Saint Breaker might leave at any moment.

However, the woman forcibly suppressed her cultivation level, and it was unclear what her intention was.

Ten thousand miles away from the Cloud Boat that Hua Qiang and his companions were traveling on, there was a sea of clouds, which was the only way for them to return to the Sacred Martial Continent.

The terrain here is complex and the environment is extremely treacherous. Layers upon layers of clouds and mist seem to conceal countless unknown behemoths, ready to devour anyone who passes by at any moment.

Since ancient times, merchants have often frequented this place, only to disappear without a trace.

Rumor has it that this is a place where space pirates frequently appear. Those vicious space pirates hide in this vast sea of clouds, launching surprise attacks on passing caravans and travelers, robbing them of their valuables, killing them for their treasures, and destroying evidence with extremely cruel methods.

The Sacred Domain was well aware of the dangers posed by this place and had dispatched joint enforcement teams to suppress it on several occasions.

A vast and imposing law enforcement force descended, carrying the majesty and power of the Sacred Domain. However, this sea of clouds was like a giant maze, and the space pirates, familiar with every corner, always managed to cleverly evade the law enforcement team's pursuit.

Each time the enforcement team launched an operation, it achieved little success and had to return empty-handed, making this sea of clouds an increasingly dangerous area that people feared.

When Hua Qiang and his group arrived, they were extremely lucky; the journey was smooth and they encountered no unexpected events.

If they were to return, everyone would feel even more confident, given that they would have the powerful figure of Hua Qiang in charge.

At this moment, Hua Qiang was like a towering mountain in everyone's hearts, an indestructible support.

At this moment, in a dark corner of this sea of clouds, a dozen figures were hidden, quietly waiting for Hua Qiang and his group to appear.

If Hua Qiang saw this group of people, he would definitely recognize them, because Ao Xingchen was among them.

Ao Xingchen's face was full of resentment and venom, his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle... all elders."

This time, I will tear Hua Qiang to pieces no matter what, to avenge the humiliation I suffered!

His voice trembled slightly with anger, and the images of being humiliated by Hua Qiang kept flashing through his mind—an indelible shame in his heart.

An old man stroked his beard and nodded with a gloomy expression.

He said, "Grand-nephew, with so many of us here, even if that kid cultivates to the Peak God Realm, he will not escape death this time."

The old man's words exuded an unquestionable confidence, as if Hua Qiang was already theirs for the taking.

"Yes, yes, your uncle guarantees that he will definitely kill that beast. Otherwise, my nephew's Dao heart will be unstable, which will definitely have a great impact on his future cultivation."

Another Chinese person chimed in, a fierce glint in their eyes.

Everyone spoke at once, expressing their determination to kill Hua Qiang.

They knew that only by killing Hua Qiang and eliminating all the people around him could Ao Xingchen stabilize his Dao heart and prevent Inner Demon from appearing on his future cultivation path.

"Alright, this time no matter what, once the target appears, we'll go all out!"

The old man at the head of the group gave a shout, and everyone responded in unison.

"Yes!"

Their voices were deep and powerful, hidden in the darkness, like death knells from hell.

Hua Qiang was completely unaware of this, and the Cloud Boat he was riding was gradually approaching this dangerous land.

A massive trap had been set up, just waiting for them to step into it.

"Hmm? Something's up."

Hua Qiang was organizing his gains from the trip to Sky City, while also checking his personal attribute panel and studying the various data related to his improved strength.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of palpitation surged into my heart without warning.

It felt as if a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows were staring intently at him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Its powerful Spiritual Sense instantly spread outwards like a tidal wave, carefully searching and leaving no suspicious spot unchecked.

Soon, he sensed a faint but dangerous aura lurking in a dark corner not far away.

That aura was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

"Is this targeting us?"

Hua Qiang pondered to himself, his expression turning serious.

In this perilous world, any oversight could lead to utter destruction.

Hua Qiang took a step forward and stood in the air, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

He turned to look at Huo Cangliang, who was controlling the Cloud Boat inside the Cloud Boat, and said, "Father, stop first, something's not right here."

Huo Cangliang was startled and immediately stopped the Cloud Boat from moving forward.

Then, Hua Qiang took another step, his figure as fast as lightning, and instantly arrived at that strange and chaotic sea of clouds.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

Hua Qiang's eyes were like torches, fixed on that dark area. His voice was deep yet penetrating, echoing for a long time in the sea of clouds.

"Hahaha, Hua Qiang, you've chosen the path to heaven but refused to walk it, and you've barged into the gates of hell. Prepare to die!"

Ao Xingchen's resentful voice suddenly rang out, followed by a dozen figures filing out from the shadows.

Ao Xingchen's face was contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with the flames of revenge, as if he wanted nothing more than to devour Hua Qiang alive.

These dozen or so figures were none other than the experts of the Dragon Race.

Each of them possessed a powerful aura, radiating the unique majesty and oppressive presence of the Dragon Race.

The old man at the head of the group was Ao Xingchen's uncle. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

In an instant, a huge water dragon appeared out of thin air, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Gao Hua Qiang.

Wherever it passed, the sea of clouds was stirred up and churned.

Ao Xingchen's second uncle was not to be outdone. He suddenly shouted and a long spear that gleamed with a cold light appeared in his hand.

With a flick of the spear tip, a series of sharp wind blades whistled out, like countless gleaming spears, cutting through the surrounding air and attacking Hua Qiang's vital points.

Third Uncle, Ao Dongfang, placed his hands on the clouds, and the clouds began to tremble violently. Thick stone pillars suddenly emerged from the sea of clouds, like rows of sharp fangs, piercing towards Hua Qiang.

The other Dragon Race experts also unleashed their respective supernatural powers, wielding swords, spears, and halberds with immense force.

The dazzling array of magical attacks was breathtaking.

In an instant, this sea of clouds was filled with all sorts of powerful forces, as if the end of the world had come.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Hua Qiang remained calm and unhurriedly raised his hand.

In an instant, a huge vortex appeared in front of him, spinning rapidly and making a rumbling sound, as if it had the power to devour everything.

All the surging attacks, whether powerful water dragons, sharp wind blades, or pointed stone pillars, were mercilessly swallowed up by this vortex.

The next moment, the vortex shuddered violently, and a powerful reaction force erupted.

The attacks that had been swallowed up all returned along the same path, attacking Ao Xingchen and the others with even greater speed.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon Race' expressions changed drastically, and they all used their abilities to defend against this sudden counterattack.

In an instant, shouts and the sounds of clashing spells mingled together, plunging the entire sea of clouds into chaos.
