Chapter 366: Chapter 254 – Master Peach Blossom’s Charm, Who Else Would Invite a Woman to Meet in the Middle of the Night_2
Zhou Sui’s three clones were responsible for patrolling the edge of Giant Deer Island to prevent any cultivators from the Sea Clan from infiltrating the island. This patrol task was crucial, serving as the first line of defense.
At this point, in a certain forest.
Five Golden Core cultivators from the Sea Clan and three Golden Core cultivators from Heisha Palace had already infiltrated, hidden using third-stage invisibility talismans. They concealed their presence and figures, evading detection from the patrol team and infiltrating the Giant Deer Island quietly.
“It’s them, those three Golden Core women.”
“I could recognize those three vile women even if they turned to ash.”
“It’s precisely these three female human Golden Core cultivators who have killed dozens of our Golden Core Sea Clansmen.”
“Over the years, at least a hundred of our Golden Core cultivators have been brutally killed by them.”
“This is a vendetta as deep as the sea.”
A Golden Core cultivator from the Sea Clan, gritting his teeth in seething hatred, immediately noticed Zhou Sui’s three clones. His hatred was nearly uncontrollable, yearning to take immediate revenge for his clanmates.
Apparently, Zhou Sui had executed his duties ruthlessly over the years.
A great number of Golden Core and Foundation-building Sea Clan cultivators had been mercilessly slaughtered by his three clones.
But this couldn’t really be helped.
After all, benefiting from the advancement of their true self’s cultivation, the three clones had also mastered the Sword Intent of the Great Achievement level.
All of them were formidable sword cultivators.
Often with one stroke, they would slay one Golden Core Sea Clan cultivator.
There was no need for a second blow.
This was the terrifying power of sword cultivators: a single strike resulted in mortal wound or death.
Hence, their fearsome reputation echoed across the sea, leaving countless Sea Clan cultivators horrified.
Of course, this drew much hatred as well.
Many Sea Clan cultivators wanted to take them down.
“Don’t act impulsively.”
“Are you trying to get us killed?”
“You do have a deep-seated enmity with these women.”
“But don’t forget our mission this time is to destroy the Teleportation Array.”
“If we strike and alert them, our plan will be a complete failure.”
“Do you want to ruin the Sea Clan’s grand plan?”
He Kunlin, a Golden Core cultivator from Heisha Palace, hurriedly stopped him.
If they chose to attack here, they would definitely alert the other cultivators,
leaving them no choice but to die here, their bodies left to rot.
Thus, they must prevent this impulsive Sea Clan cultivator at any cost, so as not to implicate themselves.
“Alright, our Sea Clan’s plan is indeed the most crucial.”
“After destroying the Teleportation Array, we’ll kill these three women.”
The Sea Clan’s Golden Core cultivator, gnashing his teeth, held back for the moment, temporarily suppressing his rage.
After all, he knew that the Sea Clan’s plan was of greater importance than his vendetta.
If his impulsiveness led to the failure of the Sea Clan’s plan, then he wouldn’t regret dying a thousand times over.
“I didn’t expect you folks from Heisha Palace to help us, the Sea Clan.”
“Even though you are also human cultivators, why would you betray your own clan?”
Another Sea Clan Golden Core cultivator eyed the three Heisha Palace Golden Core cultivators suspiciously.
After all, he did not trust these human cultivators.
If, at a critical moment, they betray them, their plan would be wasted.
He did not understand why the Sea Clan’s Nascent Soul Ancestor wanted to trust these cultivators from Heisha Palace.
“What about humans?”
“Humans are an enormous species, numbering too many to count.”
“Not all humans are united. Sometimes, human infighting can be fiercer than the conflict between humans and the Sea Clan.”
“Don’t tell me your Sea Clan doesn’t have internal strife?”
“Don’t think that your Sea Clan seems to be united. That’s solely because you share a common enemy – the humans.”
“Once the humans, who are your archenemy, are eradicated, I’m afraid the Sea Clan would break into internecine warfare.”
He Kunlin, a Golden Core cultivator from Heisha Palace, chuckled, his gaze glazing over the five Sea Clan Golden Core cultivators.
“This!”
Upon hearing this, the Sea Clan cultivators fell silent.
They had no choice but to admit the demonic cultivator’s words were spot on.
Reportedly, the Sea Clan was at constant strife before humans appeared in the Canglan Sea during the Ancient Era.
Fighting for resources, they would often kill each other, leading to deep-seated hatreds.
Even today, as humans increasingly encroached upon their territories, the internal discord in the Sea Clan remained unresolved.
If not for the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s forceful coercion, they wouldn’t be so united.
Cleary, if humans were truly defeated by them, the Sea Clan would likely splinter the very next day.
After all, in essence, the Sea Clan was just an alliance formed by countless marine species.
They were, in actuality, not part of the same species.
This only made it even harder for them to unite.
“So now you understand, you don’t need to trust us.”
“And we won’t trust you.”
“Our collaboration this time is merely out of mutual interest.”
“Collaborating with the Sea Clan does not mean we are on good terms, we are merely benefiting from you.”
“After all, for cultivators like us, the ultimate goal is immortality.”
“For the sake of immortality, we wouldn’t hesitate to abandon our wives and children.”
“Let alone merely slaughtering some unknown clan members, that’s the least of our concerns.”
He Kunlin, the Golden Core cultivator from Heisha Palace, spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing these words, the five Sea Clan cultivators all gazed deeply at He Kunlin.
