Chapter 519

"Want to chase?"

Hearing Qin Shanhai's words, Qi Xiong also glanced at Long Aotian and them from afar, then shook his head.

"Let's settle what's in front of us first."

Long Aotian took away many of the water tribe, but half of them remain here.

Chasing after Long Aotian isn't a wise choice; better to first secure the meat at hand and eat it.

Upon hearing that, Qin Shanhai nodded and said nothing more.

As the trap's wave of attack passed, the Dao Yi Sect disciples, under Qi Xiong's order, also charged straight onto the battlefield.

Just like before, the water tribe, which had long lost any fighting spirit, was easily defeated.

First came the trap, then they were backstabbed by Long Aotian; the water tribe had already fallen into despair.

Likewise, the three water tribe elders in the sky faced the same situation; surrounded by Yu Mo and his five companions, their situation grew worse and worse.

Even their own elders were like that, let alone the ordinary water tribe.

It was still a great, satisfying victory; as for the water tribe's three elders, Yu Mo and company had originally planned to capture them alive.

However, the enemy preferred death to surrender; capturing them alive was too difficult, so we had no choice but to kill them.

They also gained three demon emperor's ingredients; Yu Mo and his six were in good spirits, while the captured water tribe were sent straight to the breeding farm.

This battle yielded a substantial haul; the water tribe breeding grounds were starting to fall short, but Zhang Tianzhen was still speeding up construction, and new breeding grounds would be ready in a few days.

In high spirits, they returned to the camp.

Over the next few days, an elder who had gone to the deep sea came to report, saying that Long Aotian and his group seemed to have already left the East Sea.

Hearing this news, Qi Xiong and the others were also stunned—had they just run away?

But upon further thought, this also seemed to be Long Aotian's only option; moreover, to so readily abandon the East Sea shows he still has some resolve.

"I had previously underestimated this guy."

Even Hong Zun couldn't help but praise him—at least by doing this, Long Aotian left a sliver of hope for the water tribe.

Originally, they had been discussing whether to simply march straight to the East Sea and wipe out the water tribe in one fell swoop.

After two major battles, the water tribe was already severely weakened, over half of the demon kings had been captured, and the three elders had perished, body and spirit destroyed.

The remaining handful of water tribe members, even if faced with a frontal assault, need not be worried about too much.

One can imagine that if Long Aotian insisted on staying, the final outcome would also be being wiped out in one sweep.

It's just that this guy had something about him; he ran away a step ahead.

"Let him run; with no threat in the East Sea, that's also a good thing."

The matter is settled; there's nothing else to do. Besides, we've captured plenty of water tribe members—enough to fill three breeding grounds, and with Yuzhu Feng's care, seafood shouldn't be a problem.

Right now, the affairs at Jinhai Yingdi are also wrapped up; just as Qi Xiong and the others were pondering whether to continue their travels or what to say, Wu Shou suddenly contacted everyone that day.

"Senior Brother."

"What's up?"

"When are you coming back?"

"Anything wrong?"

"If there's nothing wrong, you're not coming back to the sect? You've been out for over half a year already."

Seeing Qi Xiong's indifferent expression, Wu Shou's emotions began to flare up again.

Seeing his state, Qi Xiong hurriedly spoke in a soothing tone.

"Junior brother, don't get agitated; just speak up if there's something."

"You...... is the Four Sect Grand Competition still going to be held?"

It turns out the time for the Four Sect Grand Competition is approaching; normally this wouldn't need to be asked, but now, with the situation in Dongzhou being what it is, the Qing Yun Sect and Huang Ji Sect, these two major sects, are almost in a half-ruined state.

That's why Wu Shou specifically contacted Qi Xiong to inquire whether the Four Sect Grand Competition would still proceed.

He had actually forgotten about this; after a brief moment of thought, Qi Xiong spoke up.

"Of course we should compete; let's send out invitations in the name of the sect. This Four Sect Grand Competition will be held at our Dao Yi Sect."

The Four Sect Grand Competition is indeed a good opportunity; the Dao Yi Sect can now be considered an uncrowned king.

It's perfect to use this Four Sect Grand Competition's opportunity to truly bring glory to the Dao Yi Sect and become the sole hegemon of Dongzhou.

Instantly grasping Qi Xiong's idea, Wu Shou nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then hurry back."

"Got it."

Qi Xiong intends to use this Four Sect Grand Competition's opportunity to bring glory to the Dao Yi Sect.

Meanwhile, as the date of the Four Sect Grand Competition approaches, countless cultivators have the same question on their minds: will this Four Sect Grand Competition still be held?

You should know, the Four Sect Grand Competition is the prosperous age of the entire Dongzhou.

Especially for the younger generation, it is the embodiment of the highest honor.

Whether they are independent cultivators or disciples of the major sects, everyone wants to achieve a good result at the Four Sect Grand Competition.

Because if they do that, their name will shake the world.

Like Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, including Su Luoxing and Chen Qingyu—these now-renowned sages of Dongzhou—when they were young, they all shone brilliantly at the Four Sect Grand Competition.

Regarding the Four Sect Grand Competition, everyone shares a consensus.

Those young Heavenly Prides who shone brilliantly at the Four Sect Grand Competition cannot be said to definitely become mighty figures later, but those who failed to make a mark at the Four Sect Grand Competition will surely not achieve great heights later.

This is the premier gathering of all of Dongzhou's younger generation.

In the major cities and sects, people discussing the Four Sect Grand Competition can be seen everywhere.

"There's less than half a month left until the Four Sect Grand Competition; do you think this one can still be held?"

"According to past sessions, this time should have been organized by Luo Xia Sect, but the current situation in Dongzhou.................."

Yeah, Luo Xia Sect hasn't had any news up to now, and I don't know if they still have that intention.

Even if they did, what could they do? The Dao Yi Sect isn't speaking, who in Dongzhou would dare to make a move?

Do you think it's still the era when the four great sects stood side by side? The Qing Yun Sect and the Huang Ji Sect are already considered ruined, and Luo Xia Sect is no match for the Dao Yi Sect.

In my opinion, whether the Four Sect Grand Competition is held or not ultimately depends on the Dao Yi Sect's decision.

I guess so.

The situation has changed too quickly; in just a year, two of the four great sects have been ruined by the Dao Yi Sect.

All that's left is the Luo Xia Sect, which, frankly, is filled with panic and unease.

Under these circumstances, who still has the mind to consider the Four Sect Grand Competition?

People's guesses are correct; at this moment, the Luo Xia Sect indeed has no leisure to consider the Four Sect Grand Competition.

Even the survival of the sect is uncertain, let alone talking about the Four Sect Grand Competition.

After finally making peace with the Tiger Tribe, Su Luoxing has been constantly discussing with his fellow junior disciples how to respond to the Dao Yi Sect going forward.

A head-on confrontation is definitely not possible; the Dao Yi Sect's strength is not something they can match.

"Senior Brother, why don't we also surrender? The Qing Yun Sect surrendered to the Dao Yi Sect and became a subsidiary sect; their days aren't bad either. Although they have to hand over a considerable amount of cultivation resources, the Dao Yi Sect is still fairly reasonable and has no intention of abandoning us after we've served our purpose."
