As expected, a few days later, Zhou Chun noticed that the aura of the Triangle Tribeâs Sixth Rank expert was moving away, likely having received a message from his clan, using his Sixth Rank speed to rush back.
Zhou Chun had anticipated this and immediately contacted Xuanwu Venerable, asking him to warn the Human Clan cultivators deep in the Triangle Tribe territory to stall the Sixth Rank expert for as long as possible.
They only needed to hold out until the Green-robed Venerable recovered, and then manpower shortage would no longer be a concern.
After the Sixth Rank expert of the Triangle Tribe left, Zhou Chun chose to take the initiative and launched a major battle against the Sixth Rank expert of the Multi-Winged Clan.
This person had been injured by Tai Geng Divine Venerable earlier, and Zhou Chun certainly wouldnât let him heal quietly.
Following two days of fierce combat, Zhou Chun was forced to retreat back to the Nine Elements Sword Sect Gate under the pressure from the Second Primordial Spirit Clone sent by the Golden Horn Dragon Sage.
Upon returning to the Nine Elements Sword Sect Gate, Zhou Chun received good news.
According to the observations of Tai Geng Divine Venerableâs incarnation, Lingfeng Venerable had left his Cave Mansion Daoist Temple, whereabouts unknown.
Obviously, Zhou Chunâs previous suggestion had worked, and Lingfeng Venerable had become interested in the treasures held by the other factionâs experts.
No matter which other race he chooses to target, it would be beneficial for the Human Clan.
Of course, Zhou Chun hoped that Lingfeng Venerable would choose to target Dragon Abyss.
Upon confirming that Lingfeng Venerable had left the Cave Mansion Daoist Temple, Tai Geng Divine Venerable also sent his incarnation to the Tianling Region.
His incarnation was crucial in the battle against the wilderness and Dragon Abyss Demon Clan, he had to be there.
Three days later, the Triangle Tribeâs Sixth Rank expert returned fiercely.
It turned out that when he returned to his clan, he brought several Fifth Rank experts, and after killing some invading Human Clan Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, he left those Fifth Rank experts to guard the clan land, then rushed back alone.
Upon his return, he immediately teamed up with the Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert to launch an attack, similarly unwilling to give the Human Clan the opportunity to delay.
Facing two other race Sixth Rank experts, Zhou Chun alone could not handle it. Thus, Tai Geng Divine Venerable had to halt his recovery, and with injuries, he joined the fight alongside Zhou Chun to fend off the enemies.
Fortunately, the Golden Horn Dragon Sage was heavily injured and, coupled with his fear of the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword, did not dare to join the battle.
This allowed Zhou Chun and the injured Tai Geng Divine Venerable to barely sustain their position and maintain an undefeated stance.
After half a day of intense battle, the Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert suddenly changed his expression, then inexplicably erupted in a fighting frenzy.
"Somethingâs wrong, this guyâs condition isnât right, something must have happened to make him suddenly so desperate!"
Tai Geng Divine Venerable was struggling to resist the Multi-Winged Clanâs expertâs attacks, relaying his opinion to Zhou Chun.
"Could it be that Taoist Friend Lingfeng has made a move?" Zhou Chun quickly voiced his speculation.
"Very likely! If thatâs the case, we need to give way a bit!"
Tai Geng Divine Venerable did not hide his intent to drag Lingfeng Venerable into the fray, expressing his thoughts freely.
After hearing these words, Zhou Chun fully agreed and responded: "Indeed, it should be so!"
The two thus began to hold back, soon deliberately showing signs of retreat.
Noticing this, the Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert quickly transmitted to the Triangle Tribeâs expert: "Fire Lan Daoist, letâs cease the battle today, I have urgent matters to tend to!"
Both sides, desiring to end the battle, soon withdrew from the battlefield.
Seeing their opponents retreating, Zhou Chun involuntarily sighed and said: "I hope it was truly Taoist Friend Lingfeng who made the move!"
Meanwhile, after leaving the battlefield, the Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert quickly hurried back to the Doran Prairie.
It turned out, his sudden burst was due to sensing that the clanâs Holy Temple was under attack.
Given the defense strength of their clanâs Holy Temple, for the people stationed there to use emergency measures to notify him could only mean a Sixth Rank expert was attacking.
He must quickly return to assist, or else the Holy Temple would be at risk of falling.
The Great Zhou Kingdom was adjacent to Doran Prairie, and at the speed of a Sixth Rank expert, he could return to the Holy Temple in less than half a day!
At the same time, as Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert Lei Zhen rushed back for reinforcement, Lingfeng Venerable encountered some troubles while attacking the Multi-Winged Clanâs Holy Temple.
Although he did not respond to Tai Geng Divine Venerableâs incarnation visit with any firm reply, he was certainly tempted.
Long ago, he had had sights on a certain treasure held by the Multi-Winged Clan.
At that time, the Multi-Winged Clanâs Sixth Rank expert was strong, and he had no chance to succeed.
Now that Sixth Rank expert had passed away while sitting and transforming, and the newly promoted Sixth Rank expert Lei Zhen was contending with Tai Geng Divine Venerable and others in the Great Zhou Kingdom, it was the perfect opportunity to seize the treasure.
Thus, he quickly arrived at Doran Prairie and, after investigation and scouting, confirmed the item was within the Multi-Winged Clanâs Holy Temple.
Originally, he thought that with his robust cultivation level, even though the Holy Temple had a formidable protection formation, it wouldnât withstand his rounds of attacks.
Unexpectedly, the Multi-Winged Clanâs Holy Temple had a hidden key.
The deceased Sixth Rank expert of the Multi-Winged Clan had left a residual soul will sealed within a statue, capable of temporarily unleashing Sixth Rank power!
Lingfeng Venerable battled with the statue for half a day before exhausting the residual soul within.
