Chapter 517: with translation of chapter title

Watching this Blood Blade Peak Elder rush about, there was still a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"Sect Master, there's movement on the water clan's side."

Before even arriving, this Blood Blade Peak Elder had already shouted out; hearing that, Qi Xiong and the others were all taken aback, then immediately each became excited.

"The water clan has come?"

Just moments ago we were saying how the water clan could endure so long, and now it's as if a sleepy person has brought a pillow?

"Speak quickly, what's going on?"

"Sect Master, the water clan side has begun a large-scale gathering, apparently intending to launch an attack."

In response, the crowd not only felt no tension at all, but on the contrary, each couldn't help but become excited.

It's just that there's still something strange—namely, how Long Aotian suddenly couldn't restrain himself?

"Long Aotian shouldn't be like that; it hasn't been constantly shrinking back, has it?"

"Peak Master Hong Zun, according to the reports from the scouts ahead, it is likely that the three ancient ancestors of the Jiao Long clan have emerged from seclusion."

"Oh, their ancestors have emerged from seclusion?"

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, but then their eyes lit up—could there be such good fortune?

You know, the two ancestors from Yuan Mountain before had already left everyone reluctant to part, and even now they are hard to forget.

Not to mention ordinary disciples; even Qi Xiong and the others, including Yu Mo and the like, can't forget the taste of that Demon Emperor.

I had thought that in the short term it would be hard to get another chance, after all, the Great Saints of Dongzhou and the Demon Emperors are few and far between, not something you can foresee at any time.

But unexpectedly, this water clan ancestor actually came to our door on its own.

Moreover, the flavor of the Jiao Long clan must surely be stronger than that of the ape clan; thus, rounding up, this water clan ancestor is nothing short of a rare treasure.

"No delay—let the disciples take action."

After a moment of daze, Qi Xiong, unable to hide his excitement, said, "These ingredients delivered to our door—how could we miss them? Moreover, there are three Demon Emperor realm ancestors."

Soon, under the orders of Hong Zun and others, the Dao Yi Sect disciples sprang into action.

And upon hearing that this time the water clan ancestor was leading the charge, the disciples felt no tension at all; on the contrary, each was bursting with excitement.

Not to mention the disciples; even Yu Mo and the others, upon hearing the news, clenched their fists and readied themselves to strike.

"What is this? This is just luck arriving—you can't stop it."

"Haha, Yu Mo said, 'This time we can't let these three old fellows get away.'"

"That's right."

"But be careful when striking—try to keep the corpses intact, don't ruin the ingredients."

"Got it, got it."

The Dao Yi Sect people entered the East Sea one after another, originally planning to set up traps step by step.

But when passing the breeding farm, Xu Jie suddenly saw the enraged Long Zhan Tian inside.

"Dao Yi Sect, if you have the ability, let this king out."

"Fight this king for three hundred rounds—you only use sneaky tricks, what kind of ability is that?"

Seeing this, Xu Jie's eyes shifted, a plan suddenly formed in his mind, and he immediately sought out Qi Xiong and the others.

"Sect Master, Shīzūn........"

Qi Xiong and the others were making battle preparations when they saw Xu Jie approach; Hong Zun said displeasedly,

"You brat, not going to set up traps—what are you doing here?"

Xu Jie didn't mind, approaching with a smirk and said,

"Hehe, disciple isn't suddenly having an immature idea; I'd like to ask for your guidance, Shīzūn and Sect Master."

Another immature idea? Hearing that, Hong Zun frowned slightly—how does this little brat keep having so many wicked schemes every day?

On the contrary, Qi Xiong became interested and asked curiously,

"Go ahead, let's hear it."

"Hehe, Sect Master, look—disciple thinks that even if a simple trap is set up ever so cleverly, its effect is really just that."

"Moreover, the water clan will certainly have defenses."

"Before we had no choice, but now we do have a bargaining chip, don't we? We can use it to get twice the result with half the effort."

"A bargaining chip? What bargaining chip?"

"Those water clan creatures in the breeding farm."

"Huh???"

Seeing Xu Jie's lewd grin, Hong Zun was suspicious—what bargaining chip?

"Hehe, Shīzūn, Peak Master, look—Long Zhan Tian and the others are water clan demon kings, and I reckon that this time the water clan's invasion likely also intends to rescue them."

"So what then?"

"Then it's simple—use these fellows as bait; wouldn't that make the trap's effect even more perfect?"

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and the others all reacted.

Each showed a hint of a smile, then turned to Xu Jie and said,

"You brat, you're really full of bad ideas."

Qing Shi let out a strange, grating laugh, while Mo Yun beside him added a sentence.

"But I, old man, like it."

"Hehe, brat, not bad—you give me the feeling of the student surpassing the master."

For a moment, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and the other Dao Yi Sect sages gathered together, emitting those grating hehe laughs.

As for Xu Jie's proposal, it was naturally agreed to without hesitation.

Soon, with the help of the Yuzhu Feng disciples, many water tribes were brought onto the battlefield.

Their bodies were tightly bound, their mouths sealed, leaving them unable to speak, only able to emit muffled whimpers.

Even as they struggled nonstop, their eyes filled with hatred, especially Long Zhan Tian, who was being controlled by an Elder and still wanted to resist, but it was utterly useless.

As the water tribes were brought onto the battlefield, the disciples were initially bewildered, not knowing what this meant.

Only after Xu Jie explained did the disciples finally understand, and then they began to pool ideas and set things up.

"We'll put the bait in the rear and the traps in front; if they try to rescue anyone, they'll surely trigger the traps."

"Or we could place it up front, surrounding it with Talisman Seals on all sides; no matter which direction they come from, they'll have to pass through the traps."

Some said to put the bait behind, some said to put it in front, and others suggested surrounding the bait with traps.

Even more outrageously, some disciples outright proposed.

"As for these old, weak, sick, and disabled ones, we might as well just tie Talisman Seals to them—after all, they don't taste good anyway."

Hearing the Dao Yi Sect disciples' discussion and then seeing their preparations, the water tribes' eyes turned red.

"What the hell do you think we are? Being kept in captivity isn't enough—now you want us to be your bait, luring our own kin?"

"Are you all completely heartless? Don't you have any bottom line? A scholar may be killed but not humiliated."

Long Zhan Tian struggled even more frantically, but unfortunately he couldn't move at all, making it utterly pointless.

Finally, amid the water tribes' hate-filled gazes, the traps and bait were set up one after another.

On the battlefield, each water tribe was placed in a different position, but without exception, massive numbers of traps were laid around them—so many that just looking at them made one's scalp go numb.

No need to doubt—once you step in, even if you don't die, you'll lose a layer of skin.
