Wu Xiao's Plan
Bian was unaware of the situation in Ganyang City, which is why he risked attacking the Human Race cultivators who were leaving the Ganyang City.
Bian Shang's actions were certainly risky, but as long as he didn't run into Shen Long, he could still escape. Ordinary fourth-tier Spirit Fox simply couldn't track him that far.
He also set up a fifth-order Formation, the Eight-Gate Silence Array, which had a strong concealment ability. Shen Long did not notice it at first, but Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada discovered the location of the Formation, and only then did Shen Long make his move.
If it were a Spirit Transformation cultivator, they might not even be able to find Bian Shang.
"The Eight-Gate Silence Array! Formation brought down from the Lingxu Realm!"
Shen Long's face lit up with joy.
The Eight-Gate Silence Array has always been stored in the Treasure Vault. All eight Formation Flag are Spirit Treasure. When Yin Hao and his seven companions Lower Realm mortal realm, they brought down a batch of cultivation resources, including the Eight-Gate Silence Array. The original intention was to enhance the strength of their clansmen in the Lower Realm.
With the front lines collapsing, the people of the Heaven Origin Mountain Range divided up the treasures in the Treasure Vault and fled for their lives. Bian Shang took away the Eight-Gate Silence Array and a fifth-order pill for breaking through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm Soul stage. He secluded himself somewhere to Secluded Cultivation and successfully advanced to the Spirit Transmutation Realm.
Unable to contact Yin Hao and the others, he learned that a large number of Human Race cultivators had gathered in Ganyang City. That's why he attacked the Human Race cultivators who had left Ganyang City to gather information.
"It's strange that Yin Hao and Yin Yue haven't contacted Bian Shang. Are they still healing their wounds?"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
Logically speaking, Yin Hao and Yin Yue should have had healing pills on them. Shen Long has recovered, so they should have recovered as well. However, they did not organize the Heaven Origin Realm clansmen to gather together.
He connected this to the Yin Underworld Realm and guessed, "Could it be that they went to the Yin Underworld Realm to find Gui Xuzi?"
The Iron Tail Scorpion flew out from the bottom of the sandpit and said, "Master, Spirit Transformation cultivators are indeed delicious."
If Shen Long hadn't attempted to search Bian Shang's Nascent Soul soul, Bian Shang's Nascent Soul wouldn't have been able to escape.
Bian Shang's Nascent Soul was no longer of any use to Shen Long, so Shen Long fed Nascent Soul to the Iron Tail Scorpion and returned the way he came.
Upon returning to Ganyang City, they found Ganyang City unharmed and untouched by attack.
Shen Long returned to the Spirit Control Garden and saw Fairy Chihong and Yuan Rui chatting in the stone pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, have you caught up with Bian Shang yet?"
The Fairy Chihong asked casually, without holding out much hope.
"I caught up with him and killed him. He was trying to gather information about Ganyang City."
Shen Long said.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Chihong and Yuan Rui were utterly shocked. They could actually catch up with him?
"Fellow Daoist Shen, has Bian Shang not had any contact with other Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race?"
Fairy Chihong changed the subject. If Bian Shang knew the whereabouts of the other Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race, they could wipe out all of the Heaven Origin Race's Spirit Transformation cultivators in one fell swoop.
"I don't know. Yin Hao brought down a batch of resources from the Lingxu Realm, much of which was stored in the Heaven Origin Race's Treasure Vault. It was all divided up by the Heaven Origin Race cultivators, and they have no contact with each other."
Shen Long explained.
In this way, the Heaven Origin Race is likely to produce new Spirit Transformation cultivators who will occasionally attack and Human Race cultivators. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light.
"Junior Brother Shen, what should we do next?"
Yuan Rui asked.
"Didn't we find Spatial Node leading to the Green Plum Realm? I'll go check it out and see if we can return to the Green Plum Realm. If we succeed, then we'll leave the Heaven Origin Realm!"
Shen Long said.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you leaving the Heaven Origin Realm?"
A somewhat weak male voice rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiao and a burly Yellow-Shirted Man walked in.
When the front lines collapsed, Wu Xiao fought his way out and has been recuperating ever since.
"My name is Bi Shan, and I greet you fellow Daoists."
The Yellow-Shirted Man politely explained that he was a newly Spirit Transformation of the Barbarian Race.
"Our Human Race plans to leave the Heaven Origin Realm. The Heaven Origin Realm is too vast; we cannot conquer it with our small numbers alone."
Shen Long said.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you annihilated the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race in the Lower Realm?"
"It's a hawk," Wu Xiao asked.
"Two people escaped. They haven't contacted the Heaven Origin Race cultivators, nor have they returned to the Heaven Origin Mountain Range. I suspect they've returned to the Lingxu Realm."
Shen Long said.
"Our Barbarian Race intends to remain in the Heaven Origin Realm, Fellow Daoist Shen. I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with you."
"That's what Wu Xiao said."
Shen Long was somewhat surprised, but nodded and led Wu Xiao to the Green Peng Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this is something I seized from a Heaven Origin Race cultivator; it should be useful to you."
Wu Xiao took out a Cyan Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.
So many Dragon-Suppressing Stone!
Shen Long exclaimed in surprise, "This is enough to upgrade my Life-Bound Dharma Treasure to Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure!"
Besides the Dragon-Suppressing Stone, there are also over a hundred pieces of Tier 5 refining materials.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what do you want?"
Shen Long asked.
"We Barbarian Race plan to stay in the Heaven Origin Realm and develop our heavyweight, Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure. We'll leave the East Hua Cultivation World to your Human Race."
"That's what Wu Xiao said."
Shen Long's strength is undeniable. If Wu Xiao leads his people back to the Gan Yang Realm, friction is inevitable over time. In that case, the Barbarian Race will suffer, and they might even be wiped out.
The Heaven Origin Race is now severely weakened, and if the Barbarian Race develop here, they have a great deal of room for growth and pose a relatively small threat.
"Aren't you afraid that the two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Heaven Origin Race haven't left? Or that the Heaven Origin Race might send someone down to the Lower Realm again?"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
"I'm afraid, but if we return to the Gan Yang Realm, I see no future for our Barbarian Race. It's better to stay here. While there are great risks in developing in the Heaven Origin Realm, there are also great fortuitous opportunity."
"That's what Wu Xiao explained."
"Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure are already rare, and heavy Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure are even rarer. What you've given me isn't enough."
Shen Long frowned and said.
He could tell that Wu Xiao had obtained a lot of good things, Shen Long planned to rip Wu Xiao off.
Wu Xiao took out a Golden Gourd and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "This is the Essence Blood of a fifth-tier Sea-Suppressing Ape. It is said that this ape possesses the bloodline of Mountain Giant Ape. Yin Hao brought it down from the Lingxu Realm and stored it in the Treasure Vault, which I have now obtained."
Shen Long opened the Golden Gourd, his eyes filled with joy, and said, "So many! Fellow Daoist Wu didn't hide any of them?"
"We still have quite a few of our clansmen in the Green Plum Realm. If possible, Fellow Daoist Shen, please send them to the Heaven Origin Realm. If there is anything we Barbarian Race need in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Wu Xiao said sincerely.
Shen Long's strength was undeniable, so Wu Xiao dared not resort to any underhanded tactics.
"Alright! But we can only give it to you after we leave Heaven Origin Realm. In the meantime, you and Bi Shan will guard Ganyang City. I'm worried that Yin Hao and Yin Yue will come back to fight. Of course, don't worry, they've probably gone somewhere else."
Shen Long said.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the Heaven Origin Race is currently severely weakened. Why don't you consider staying in the Heaven Origin Realm? That way, your Spirit Control Sect can also have a better future."
"That's what Wu Xiao said."
"I've killed quite a few Spirit Transformation cultivators, so I'm not lacking in ordinary resources. How many resources can I get by staying here?"
Shen Long told the truth.
Anyway, with the Heaven Origin Sword in hand, he can come to the Heaven Origin Realm at any time.
"Alright! It's a deal."
Wu Xiao agreed.
Shen Long led a group of disciples away from Ganyang City, while simultaneously dispatching more people to gather up the scattered Human Race cultivators.
