Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 771 - 325: Teleporting Army (Part 2)

The Five-headed World Sea Fierce Beast bore countless injuries and appeared ready to perish under their assaults, enabling them to then claim dominance over that node.

Qi Keqing instantly felt the pull to wrest the node away from Sikong Lan and his companions, but as their commander, she had to exercise caution in all decisions, so she kept a vigilant watch over the area.

All at once, Qi Keqing spotted a highly unusual spot.

It was an area utterly free from Mountain and Sea Realm energy as well as Vast Realm energy, ruled solely by the Sea of Realms energy!

Detecting this, Qi Keqing's heart raced wildly, wondering how such a zone could appear inside the War Realm?

Yet, with no presence of Mountain and Sea Realm energy or Vast Realm energy, did that imply the wills of those realms were blind to this spot?

If so, then striking at Sikong Lan's forces right here wouldn't register with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will?

With that realization, joy sparked across Qi Keqing's features, and she turned to her followers, "All of you, carefully sense the state of this location; we could have a chance to strike back at Sikong Lan!"

The cultivators froze in surprise, then dispatched subtle threads of Spiritual Sense in turns to examine the conditions nearby.

Once they had probed it, delight spread over every face.

"Haha, the heavens favor us, and a spot like this truly exists!"

"This will be Sikong Lan's burial ground!"

"Senior Sister Qi, guide us forward at once; we burn to wipe out Sikong Lan!"

Qi Keqing curbed her grin and declared, "Very well, advance. Stay alert to hide all energy ripples so we don't tip off the foes."

"Understood!"

Earlier, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's cultivators had detected them, nearly plunging them into peril.

Confronting Sikong Lan and his vast force now, they figured the enemies lacked the sharp senses of those Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect members but stayed on high alert regardless.

Qi Keqing directed her troops through the air. Soon enough, mirroring Ning Qi's prior maneuver with his soldiers, they fully surrounded Sikong Lan and his allies at the core.

This setup ensured the adversaries had no way to flee!

Right as Qi Keqing prepared to signal a full assault, Sikong Lan and his crew on the ground abruptly looked up, their faces twisted in sinister grins!

Qi Keqing's arm halted mid-gesture, the command stuck in her throat.

"What's happening? Have they spotted us?"

From below, Sikong Lan burst into loud laughter, "Qi Keqing, never thought you'd arrive first! Friends from Fuyao Realm, I suggest you show yourselves, or don't hold it against me for the warning!"

His laughter rang out confident and fearless, but Qi Keqing and her allies caught a hint of nervousness beneath it, leaving them momentarily baffled.

"Senior Sister Qi, what's our move?" a voice queried.

Without pause, Qi Keqing replied, "We've been found out, so let's step into view and uncover his scheme!"

She had previously counted the numbers below and confirmed they matched the departure tally.

Having hemmed in the enemies now, even with discovery, could the foes really break free?

Thus, Qi Keqing and her team materialized in the emptiness.

The forces arrayed in a ring, hovering far overhead, staring down at those beneath.

The ratio of their numbers to the enemy's stood at four to one, granting total superiority in all ways!

Qi Keqing eyed Sikong Lan, seeing no bid for flight or move to fight, her forehead creased in puzzlement over the odd turn.

A flurry of ideas raced in her thoughts: "Is some dreadful entity lurking nearby?"

Projecting composure, Qi Keqing called to Sikong Lan, "Sikong Lan, what were you getting at with those words?"

Yet Sikong Lan sat in quiet focus, lips sealed in silence.

Qi Keqing extended her Spiritual Sense, sweeping the vicinity, yet beyond Sikong Lan and his band, she detected no other presence.

"Allow me to clarify that meaning!"

A chilling voice boomed suddenly like rolling thunder, its origin impossible to pinpoint.

With a fierce gale ripping through the void, the crushing gust bore down, in a flash forcing Qi Keqing's group to the ground, heads bowed and bodies pinned.

They tumbled from the heights like falling parcels, crashing together onto the earth.

One mere phrase backed by might unleashed such devastating force!

Terror gripped Qi Keqing and her companions deeply, the sensation instantly evoking memories of Spirit Bird Domain Master Chi Xiazi and his killer Ning Qi.

"A Domain Master-rank powerhouse is present!"

Such notions flooded their minds, at last grasping Sikong Lan's prior weird conduct.

Sikong Lan had clearly been captured by the Vast Realm Domain Master already.

Curse it, that despicable Sikong Lan got caught by the foes but didn't fight back fiercely, even feigning battle against the World Sea Fierce Beast to draw them out!

They'd been duped once more by this loathsome traitor!

Fury boiled in everyone, their eyes boring into Sikong Lan's crew with raw loathing.

Within the enemy ranks, several hung their heads low, dodging the stares, as if shame burned within them.

Including Sikong Lan, others ignored the glares from Qi Keqing's side, showing faces alight with glee and mocking delight.

Even in death, they'd pull others into the abyss, allies from the same realm or not!

Sikong Lan's attitude alone nearly sent Qi Keqing and her allies into a rage-fueled frenzy!

If glares could slay, Sikong Lan would lie in a thousand shreds by now!

Qi Keqing averted her eyes from Sikong Lan, lifting them instead to the heavens.

High above hung a figure in a Taoist robe of watery ink hues, etched with ink-drawn scenes that highlighted his imposing build.

He possessed striking looks, a lean and lofty frame, surveying the crowd below with eyes that now and then flashed haughty pride.
