Chapter 3030: True Dragon Temptation

After Ye Liuyun and his party left the Mermaid Tribe's old stronghold, they took the others back to the Space World to cultivate.

Only Blue Whale and Long Nv remained outside, continuing to rush toward the Mo Jiao Clan's territory.

The resources Ye Liuyun harvested also gave a lot to Blue Whale, so it set off with great vigor.

But the entire Wasteland Sea World was already shocked.

In the Mermaid Tribe's sea area, the crimson water took many days to disperse. No one from the surrounding sea beast tribes dared to investigate.

Many Martial Cultivators passing by also saw this blood‑red scene and thought something major had happened.

The news quickly spread among Martial Cultivators who roamed the Wasteland Sea for years. Even Leng Qingshao and Leng Qingyao received the information and reported it to Ye Liuyun.

"The news spread so fast? We just left the Mermaid Tribe's territory!" Ye Liuyun was quite surprised. He didn't expect that in the scarcely populated Wasteland Sea World, news could travel this quickly.

"Master, did you do all this? You wiped out the Mermaid Tribe?" Leng Qingyao asked curiously.

"Yes. They insisted on opposing us!" Ye Liuyun admitted, but also instructed the two not to let the news spread.

"Has the First Star Bandit Group reached the treasure site?" Ye Liuyun also asked about their situation.

Leng Qingshao replied, "So far we haven't seen any signs that they have arrived."

"Alright, keep a close watch; I think the time is near. They said two months earlier, but that may not be true." Ye Liuyun reminded them to stay alert.

"Got it!" they answered, then continued to monitor the bandits. Yet in their hearts, they still found it unbelievable that Ye Liuyun could annihilate the Mermaid Tribe.

But the rumors kept spreading, and more and more Martial Cultivators began gathering in the Wasteland Sea, hoping to reap more resources amid the chaos.

At this moment Long Nv also tried asking Ye Liuyun whether she could spare the Mo Jiao Clan.

Long Nv herself is also an incarnation of the Black Flood Dragon, so she still has some affection for flood dragons. She knows that if Ye Liuyun goes, it will surely be another bloody slaughter. So she doesn't want Ye Liuyun to exterminate the entire clan.

Ye Liuyun thought the same; having already wiped out one great sea tribe, wiping out another would have an even greater impact on the Wasteland Sea's peoples.

He also didn't want to cause such a huge stir again, so he agreed and let Long Nv tell Blue Whale to look for other resources and not go to the Mo Jiao Clan.

Blue Whale obeyed the command and turned away immediately.

The Mo Jiao Clan had also received the news. Though they didn't know how Ye Liuyun eliminated so many Mermaids, they doubted his strength and didn't want to provoke him. Yet hearing that a True Dragon was still alive sparked a different thought.

The flood dragons' cultivation goal is to become dragons. Now that a True Dragon has appeared, they can ask whether there is a good method to transform. If they could obtain the True Dragon's bloodline, core pill and Physical Body, perhaps it would help their strongest Magic Flood Dragon to become a dragon.

Even if only a sliver of hope exists, the Magic Flood Dragons want to risk everything with the whole clan's strength. They have been waiting long enough in this Wasteland Sea World.

Several Magic Flood Dragons in their clan have already reached Guiyi Ninth Layer, but each was struck down by heavenly thunder during the transformation, never surviving the process; now they are tormented and have lost hope.

Long Nv's arrival gave them hope again. Although their current highest realm is Guiyi Eighth Layer, they can soon advance to Guiyi Ninth Layer.

So they would not miss the opportunity that Long Nv brought to their doorstep. They had already sent scouts to monitor Ye Liuyun's movements.

They were initially pleased, thinking Ye Liuyun would head into their territory, never imagining he intended to annihilate them. They remain confident in their own strength.

Thus when they saw Ye Liuyun turn away, they thought he was scared and trying to avoid their lands, and immediately dispatched a squad of Magic Flood Dragons to chase them.

That squad consisted of fifty individuals; the lowest were at Guiyi Fourth Layer, the higher ones at Guiyi Seventh Layer, and more than ten went out together. Their orders were to capture Long Nv alive if possible; if not, death was acceptable.

The Mo Jiao Clan is small, with only about five thousand members, but each individual is far stronger than the Mermaids. Fifty Magic Flood Dragons acting together is already rare for the clan. Such a force could normally run rampant through the Wasteland Sea.

Ye Liuyun had no idea that his goodwill in sparing the Mo Jiao Clan had made them target him.

Therefore, while he usually hurries on the road, he never set up many defenses, believing that with Blue Whale and Long Nv, plus his Golden Pupil, he could detect danger early. The others were cultivating and recovering in the Space World, preparing for the next battle.

Just before the Magic Flood Dragons approached them, Blue Whale emitted a warning hum to Ye Liuyun and Long Nv. However, Long Nv had not yet sensed the danger. The Magic Flood Dragons were deep‑sea lurking, so Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil did not spot them in time.

Seeing Blue Whale's rapid successive warnings, Ye Liuyun and Long Nv did not take it lightly. Ye Liuyun positioned Martial Cultivator elites, Ancient Demon Guards, and Demon Beasts around him, and together with his two clones, scouted the surroundings.

Long Nv also dove into the deep sea, unleashing her full Bloodline Pressure, intimidating nearby sea beasts and staying alert to any movement. The deep sea was relatively quiet, making it easier for her to locate the source of danger.

Blue Whale knew a great battle was coming, so it had already kept a safe distance.

But because its information was not detailed enough, Ye Liuyun could not guess which sea beast was coming to attack. He only inferred from Blue Whale's urgent calls that the opponent would be strong.

Finally, Long Nv detected a disturbance coming from the deep sea.

"A group of sea beasts from the deep sea, moving very fast!"

However, these Magic Flood Dragons were too swift, clearly prepared for an ambush; at first Long Nv could only feel their movement waves and could not identify what kind of sea beasts they were.

"Coming from the deep sea?" Ye Liuyun frowned. Their Human Martial Cultivators and Ancient Demons, as well as Demon Beasts, are not adept at underwater combat.

"You hurry up and come up, don't stay in the deep sea any longer! We'll lure them out and then fight."

"Hold on a moment, let me see what kind of sea beasts they are. They're behind us." Long Nv vaguely sensed the incoming beasts seemed serpentine. Moreover, the wave felt like flood dragons, but the aura didn't match.

Ye Liuyun wasn't in a rush, assuming Long Nv would give him enough time to ascend.

His Golden Pupil also looked toward the water surface behind them. Yet if the sea beasts were too deep, he couldn't see them. It was only a precaution against a sudden surfacing.

So Ye Liuyun's party also rose higher into the air to avoid a surprise sea‑beast attack.
