Chapter 248 Attack on the Eastern Reef Islands
"Fellow Daoist Zishan, what is your choice?" The Demon King urged Zishan to make a decision.
Just as Zishan was about to refuse the Demon King's proposal and then join Ye Xiaobai, Ye Xiaobai's voice came.
"Zishan, congratulations on breaking through to the eighth rank and successfully transforming into human form! Let's go home!"
"Yes, Master, that's what I was planning too. However, this Demon King is preparing to lead demon cultivators to attack the East Reef Islands. Should we intervene?" Zi Shan was very excited when he heard Ye Xiaobai's telepathic message.
Thinking it best to tell his master about the information he had obtained, he also mentioned the Demon King's invitation.
"What are your thoughts?" Ye Xiaobai asked tentatively.
"Of course I declined the Demon King's invitation, but Sun Siyu of Qingxia Sect is related to our master after all, so let's send them a message!" Zishan said indifferently.
"Haha, at least you have some conscience, you're not too worried!"
"You should agree to go to the East Reef Islands together in three days!"
"What? You mean I should join the demon kings in attacking human cultivators? How could I do such a thing? Oh? I understand..." Zi Shan immediately understood Ye Xiaobai's idea.
……
“Demon King, I agree. However, as you know, I have just completed my transformation and need some time to stabilize my cultivation! How about we head to the East Reef Islands together in three days?” Zishan said respectfully to the Demon King.
"Great, fantastic! With Brother Zishan joining us, we're sure to be safe this time!" The Demon King exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Zishan's decision.
Yan Fuhai, watching from a distance, frowned slightly. Seeing that this transformed beast had so easily agreed to the demon king's request, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he did not say them out loud.
After everyone had dispersed, Yan Fuhai found a private opportunity to whisper to the Demon King, "Demon King, this Zishan is very likely in cahoots with that Ye alchemist who escaped earlier. This guy might not be trustworthy!"
"Hmph, enough nonsense. We demon cultivators don't have as many tricks up our sleeves as you human cultivators! I trust Brother Zishan! We'll all be working together from now on, so Master Yan, please give him more trust!" The Demon King said with a hint of displeasure.
“But…” Yan Fuhai was still a little worried and wanted to say something more, but the Demon King interrupted him.
"Alright, no buts. After we attack the East Reef Islands in three days, I promise to leave Master Yan with plenty of fresh cultivator corpses! That should give Master Yan nothing to say, right?"
"Then I'll have to trouble the Demon King!"
Having said all that, Yan Fuhai couldn't say anything more, so he returned to his cave.
……
At this time, Ye Xiaobai had already secretly left Thunder Island.
He was originally tricked by Lao Mo into coming to Thunder Island, where he was forced to refine pills under the tutelage of Master Yan. He was furious, but his strength was insufficient.
Ye Xiaobai thought he should go back first, cultivate properly, and then come back to Thunder Island to settle accounts with them once his cultivation level improved.
Now that the demons of Thunder Island are actually going to attack the East Reef Islands, I might be able to cooperate with the Qingxia Sect to deal with this group of demons from Thunder Island.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but increase his speed.
They had only gone halfway when a familiar scent appeared. It was Sun Siyu leading several disciples of the Qingxia Sect, flying towards Ye Xiaobai's location.
Now, there's no need for that first aid talisman; the person just arrived.
"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Ye? What happened that you're rushing on your way here? Why are you in such a hurry?" Sun Siyu asked curiously as soon as she saw Ye Xiaobai.
"Master Ye of the Alchemist Alliance is actually so flustered? It seems that he still needs the help of our Qingxia Sect to survive in the East Sea, right?" The cultivator surnamed Lu who was traveling with Sun Siyu mocked.
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyu immediately scolded, "Junior Brother Lu, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Upon hearing Sun Siyu's words, the cultivator surnamed Lu immediately became obedient, involuntarily taking a few steps back, worried that his senior sister might attack at any moment. His senior sister had always been very approachable, so why did she seem to be treating Ye Xiaobai differently today?
Hearing what the cultivator surnamed Lu said, Ye Xiaobai didn't care. Instead, he said calmly, "It's not that I need the help of Qingxia Sect, but rather, today I, Ye Xiaobai, am going to do your Qingxia Sect a great favor!"
"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Ye, Junior Brother Lu is being ignorant, please don't take it to heart. Just tell me what happened!" Upon hearing Ye Xiaobai's words, Sun Siyu immediately sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly asked anxiously.
"Three days from now, a demon clan will attack the East Reef Islands!" Ye Xiaobai said directly, no longer holding back.
"In recent years, there have been constant conflicts between human cultivators and demon cultivators in the East China Sea. The demons do frequently attack islands where human cultivators gather, but previously they only attacked some scattered small islands."
“The Dongjiao Islands are the largest island group of human cultivators in the East China Sea. Do the demon race have that kind of strength? Unless they send out an eighth-order transformed demon!” Sun Siyu still couldn’t believe what Ye Xiaobai said.
“That’s right, there are indeed two eighth-order transformed demons!” Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"What? There are actually two eighth-order transformed demons? Is the demon race preparing for a full-scale war with the human race? Is the news reliable?" Sun Siyu asked in disbelief and surprise upon hearing about the two eighth-order transformed demons.
"The information is accurate!"
"You say it's true, so it's true? Why should we believe you?" The cultivator surnamed Lu, who had been quiet for a while, couldn't help but question again.
"Hmm?" Sun Siyu gave him a murderous glare, and the cultivator surnamed Lu once again hid far away, falling completely silent.
Seeing that Sun Siyu was still half-believing and half-doubting, Ye Xiaobai secretly transmitted his voice to her and told her that one of the two eighth-order transformed demons was the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard.
Sun Siyu was shocked once again upon hearing this.
Isn't the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard Ye Xiaobai's spirit beast? How come it's colluding with other demonic beasts to attack human cultivators' territory?
After Ye Xiaobai explained the whole story to Sun Siyu, Sun Siyu finally understood everything.
It turned out that Ye Xiaobai wanted the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard to bring that group of demons to the East Reef Islands and walk right into their trap.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are indeed cunning, manipulating that eighth-order transformed demon with ease!" Sun Siyu couldn't help but praise after learning the whole story.
"Haha, you flatter me. How was it? Did I do Qingxia Sect a huge favor?" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile, while glancing at the Lu surname cultivator in the distance.
The cultivator surnamed Lu still looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on.
Sun Siyu quickly replied, "We owe a great debt to Fellow Daoist Ye this time, otherwise our Qingxia Sect would have suffered heavy losses!"
"Alright, enough of this small talk. Let's go back and make proper preparations to welcome our distinguished guests in three days!"
"Hehe, what a wonderful way to welcome distinguished guests! Indeed, we should let these enemies know the hospitality of the Qingxia Sect!"
As the saying goes, "We welcome friends with fine wine, but we meet enemies with hunting rifles!"
The way Qingxia Sect treats its guests should be pretty much the same.
The group then returned together to the East Reef Islands.
