Chapter 1348 1307: The Gathering Storm Before the Great Battle

"Master, what should we do now?" Yin Nanxiong's eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly, "Should I perhaps stand in for you and go deal with that reckless guy?! "

"No need." But the Spear-wielding War King shook his head and said, "That person could instantly kill Luo Qiubai, so he should not be an ordinary new Mystic Heaven Position practitioner. You have just reached the Mystic Heaven Position realm; you are not his match."

Yin Nanxiong's expression changed, displaying some reluctance, but he still nodded and said, "Understood. So, Master, are you planning to intervene personally this time?"

"Let's wait first." The Spear-wielding War King shook his head and said.

"Wait?" Yin Nanxiong was momentarily confused, not understanding what the Spear-wielding War King meant.

"Dare to challenge me, the Spear-wielding War King, and provoke me like this; that youngster is certainly doomed. I will kill him! However, I have more crucial matters to attend to now, so let's wait a bit,"

The Spear-wielding War King said slowly.

Being able to instantly defeat someone who is invincible at the Great Heaven Rank is an achievement that many cannot attain in their lifetime. But in the eyes of the Spear-wielding War King, it was nothing extraordinary, not even noteworthy. In his heart, he had already sentenced Chen Fei to death.

Decades ago, the Spear-wielding War King could slay a Mystic Heaven Position King, and now, decades later, he further disregards ordinary Mystic Heaven Position practitioners.

In his current state, he can kill any ordinary Mystic Heaven Position person who stands before him as he wishes because he has the power to do so.

At this moment, the communication talisman in Yin Nanxiong's embrace suddenly emitted a sound.

"Master, outside, outside..." Yin Nanxiong glanced at the communication talisman, his expression suddenly shocked.

"People from the Polar Demon Palace?" The Spear-wielding War King asked with a smile.

"...Yes. How did you know?" Yin Nanxiong was momentarily surprised, then responded.

"People have come for me, how could I not know?" The Spear-wielding War King soared into the air, flying out toward the icy lake, saying, "Let's go."

Soon, he and Yin Nanxiong arrived outside the icy lake, at the grand palace within the Spear Lifting Sect's grounds.

And inside, a few figures were already sitting quietly. If Chen Fei were present, he might be somewhat surprised, because among these figures there was one who was barely considered his 'acquaintance'.

This figure was the Demon Pet of the Ancient King from the Polar Demon Palace, the Twin-Headed Crow, who had troubled Chen Fei two or three times. But today, even he seemed not to be the protagonist.

In the grand hall, once everyone saw the Spear-wielding War King arrive, they immediately stood up and respectfully said,

"Greetings, Spear-wielding War King senior."

Only one person remained seated and unmoved, merely chuckling lightly, then said to the Spear-wielding War King, "It's been a while, old fellow. Haven't seen you in several years, you seem to be enjoying life more and more?"

The Spear-wielding War King casually glanced at him and said, "I'm certainly living more comfortably than you are now. Alright, skip the nonsense. Why did you leave your good spot in the Polar Demon Palace to find me, Li Wutian?"

Li Wutian, a famously powerful figure from the Polar Demon Palace, who had once stood against two Mystic Heaven Position Kings from Hao Tian Palace for ten days and nights without a decisive outcome, since that battle, the name Li Wutian resounded across Tianye Plains!

He may not match the prowess of the Spear-wielding War King, yet undoubtedly he is a fierce character with considerable power.

"Since you don't want to hear my nonsense, I'll get straight to the point." Li Wutian chuckled, his eyes narrowing, "You should know the predicament our Polar Demon Palace is in; Lord Ancient King is barely holding on, and internal strife is brewing, with threats both inside and outside. So, I am here representing Lord Qingsha to invite you to assist us."

Upon hearing the words 'Lord Qingsha', the Spear-wielding War King's gaze narrowed, then he asked, "What assistance do you require?"

"Annihilate the Changyou Lineage!" Li Wutian's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

"What?" The Spear-wielding War King's expression did not change, but beside him, Yin Nanxiong's face had changed.

There are three major factions within the Polar Demon Palace: the Changyou Lineage, the Qingsha Lineage, and the currently declining Lineage of the Ancient King.

Their Polar Demon Palace's Ancient King is no longer viable; once he perishes, that line of people will immediately collapse, whereas the others, both the Qingsha Lineage and the Changyou Lineage, are ready to seize power! It's a matter of victory or defeat now.

Currently, within their Polar Demon Palace, with strife both internally and externally, it is destined that this turmoil must be resolved swiftly! Hence, he has come to seek the Spear-wielding War King's assistance.

"These are internal matters of your Polar Demon Palace; why should I randomly get involved?" The Spear-wielding War King thought for a moment and said.

"Do not rush to refuse, take a look at this," Li Wutian smiled as he took out a scroll and handed it to the Spear-wielding War King.

"This is... Gasp! The fourth scroll of the Scorching Blood Demon Spear!?" As soon as the Spear-wielding War King received the scroll, his expression changed instantly, followed by a look of delight.

Scorching Blood Demon Spear! It happens to be the incomplete Technique of Minor Divine Power he has been cultivating. There are five scrolls in total, and he only has three, but now Li Wutian delivers the fourth scroll to him. How could he not be tempted?!

"How about it?" Observing the Spear-wielding War King's excited expression, Li Wutian smiled and said, "Would this sincere offer from our Lord Qingsha please you?"

"Deal!" The Spear-wielding War King nodded decisively and said, "But this scroll must be given to me first! Regardless of whether your matters succeed, this scroll is mine now, and I won't be returning it."

"Of course." Li Wutian smiled and said, "In that case, shall we set off?"

"No, wait a moment." The Spear-wielding War King shook his head and said.

"Hmm?" Li Wutian frowned.

"I need to go to the Flower God Mountain Range to kill someone first. Don't worry, it won't take much time."

The Spear-wielding War King said calmly, as if he were discussing cleaning up after dinner, with a light and breezy attitude.

...

On the other side, at the headquarters of the Blood Demon Blade Sect in the Tianye Plains.

In the depths of the forbidden area, within the altar, several figures with terrifying auras to the extreme were sitting cross-legged on the several branching corners of the altar, emitting an overwhelming glow, swallowing and exhaling refined light, shining brightly and enveloping the entire altar.

Inside the altar, a giant monster lay quietly, clamped tightly by the enormous chains flowing with dark golden color.

By the altar, an elderly man with gray hair looked excitedly at the monster, murmuring somewhat crazily, "Almost there, almost... when we resurrect this Eight-Armed Blood Demon Beast, who can be a match for our Blood Demon Blade Sect?"

This Eight-Armed Blood Demon Beast the Blood Demon Blade Sect had cultivated for several generations, hundreds of years. Once it emerges, it will surely shake the heavens and earth! By then, even those at the peak of Mystic Heaven Position may avoid them!

Thinking of such scenes, how could they not be excited, with their blood boiling?!

Whoosh!

At this moment, a figure rapidly swept in, appearing before the gray-haired old man.

"Sect Master."

"Cao Kong?" The gray-haired old man slightly frowned, then asked, "Did you recover it?"

"Sorry, no." Cao Kong shook his head, took out a jade slip, and handed it to him, saying, "Sect Master, have a look at this."

The gray-haired old man took the jade slip and looked at it, then his expression suddenly changed, "Challenge the Spear-wielding War King?!"

"Yes." Cao Kong nodded, saying, "He's the one who killed Duan Qianjue, and stole our Blood Demon Blade Sect's incomplete technique of Minor Divine Power, the Thousand Flames Burning Sky. However, this person is too strong; with my strength, I can do nothing to him."

The gray-haired old man fell silent. Although Cao Kong was the top of the Twenty-One Demon Blade of the Blood Demon Blade Sect, that was also at the Great Heaven Rank level. This Chen Fei dared to challenge the Spear-wielding War King, naturally, Cao Kong did not have the qualifications to face or deal with him.

"What happened?" At this moment, there was a flash of light, and beside the gray-haired old man appeared an elder in crimson armor. He asked.

This person was none other than Dugu Ba, the Blood Demon Blade Sect's Mystic Heaven Position King.

"Take a look at this." The gray-haired old man handed the jade slip to Dugu Ba.

"... What?!" Dugu Ba merely glanced at the jade slip briefly, his expression changed, becoming gloomy and uncertain, turning unpleasant. Even he dared not provoke the Spear-wielding War King, yet that person dared to declare war on him?!

"Lord Dugu Ba, he's the one who stole our incomplete technique of Minor Divine Power, the Thousand Flames Burning Sky." This time, Cao Kong interjected.

Dugu Ba's eyelid twitched, silent for a moment, then said, "This person has the courage to challenge the Spear-wielding War King, clearly extremely confident, and certainly has substantial abilities... Now we're busy resurrecting the Eight-Armed Blood Demon Beast, perhaps we cannot spare the effort to deal with him?"

Upon hearing this, the gray-haired old man also frowned slightly, saying, "Wait until we resurrect the Eight-Armed Blood Demon Beast, then deal with him?"

"This is the best way." Dugu Ba nodded, and then said, "Moreover, since he provoked the Spear-wielding War King, whether he survives is still uncertain."

"Indeed." The gray-haired old man agreed, nodding, falling into contemplation.

At this moment, Cao Kong spoke up, "If the Spear-wielding War King kills that man, then the incomplete technique of Minor Divine Power, the Thousand Flames Burning Sky, we painstakingly sought would be gone forever, becoming someone else's achievement."

As soon as these words came out, the gray-haired old man and Dugu Ba's expressions simultaneously changed.

"Do you have any suggestions?" the gray-haired old man asked.

"If I recall correctly, Lord Shuang Tian is quite skilled at assassination, isn't he?" Cao Kong looked towards one on the altar. The latter scanned him briefly, his gaze as cold and terrifying as a dead person's.

"What are you implying?" The gray-haired old man frowned.

"I don't believe that man is a match for the Spear-wielding War King, but if he has the courage to provoke him, I also don't believe the Spear-wielding War King can kill him. At least not immediately!"

At this point, Cao Kong paused, then smiled, saying, "But after the battle, that man will surely be severely injured; then, with Lord Shuang Tian's skills, just find any opportunity, and there's no worry about retrieving the Thousand Flames Burning Sky?"

Upon hearing this, both the gray-haired old man and Dugu Ba's eyes brightened. The former glanced toward the altar, saying, "Shuang Tian?"

Whoosh! A figure departed from the altar. Simultaneously, a faint cold voice followed.

"Dugu Ba, you take my position."

As the words fell, the figure had already disappeared, leaving the forbidden area entirely.

Meanwhile, far away in the Flower God Mountain Range, Chen Fei awaited a few guests. Among them were King Lin of the Heaven-Pillar Hall, the Mystic Soul King, and one of the four kings of the Cang Clan, Canghu King?! What is he here for...
