324 Retaliate (1/2)

”Lord, are you not going?”

Yu Shuhua's eyes glistened. ”Don't let them have all the treasures!”

”Sister!”

Yu Shumin tugged at her sleeves, revealing an unpleasant look.

She was young and had matured under the protection of her sister. Therefore, she was still rather naive.

Thoughts ran through Fang Yuan's mind as he revealed a smile. ”I'm not greedy. However, I feel that something is not right!”

”Is something wrong?”

Ye Shuhua blinked her eyes.

”That's right... In the world, there are the heavens and fate... Similarly, in the hollow, there should be a higher being's spirit. If that is so, then the Horned Wing Tribe would be the natives and we would be the demons from the outside world!”

Fang Yuan smiled as he recalled his experience in the Water Realm.

”As the invasive species, never mind if we are pillaging off their resources. If we become cocky and go on a killing spree, we would attract too much attention! That's it... You could argue that we are Illusionary Divine dream masters with unparalleled abilities and strong backings from the outside world. However, now that the seal over the hollow is still intact, the stronger dream masters cannot yet enter the hollow, but instead, we are already inside! Notwithstanding the fact that there might be a higher being here, do you not think that there might be other highly-skilled people in this hollow, which has an area as large as 2 regions in Da Qian?”

As soon as he spoke, Ye Shuhua broke out in cold sweat. ”Then what about them...”

”They either think that their backing is strong enough, or they are just letting off steam. Their actions might even be part of their own grand scheme of things... Of course, if we don't join them now, we might have to face their combined powers afterward!”

Fang Yuan snickered.

”Then what should we do?”

Ye Shuhua was frantic. She could neither hold up against being a sacrifice for the hollow or go against the other dream masters if they were to combine forces.

”What else can we do? Let's just leave!”

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and looked beyond the horizon. ”It might be too late even if we were to set off now!”

”Eh? Why is that...”

Ye Shuhua glanced at the horizon. A few black dots started to appear and were rushing towards them. They were all members of the Horned Wing Tribe. However, they had 2 pairs of wings on their backs. As they collectively flapped their wings, an intense gust of wind started to form and an invisible wave of energy started to spread outwards.

”Demons from the outside world... how dare you!”

Seeing the damaged palace, the raging flames and the countless corpse of their own tribe members, their eyes became bloodshot. ”All of you... die!”

”Whooo!”

As the strong winds ensued, a current of green-coloured wind descended from the skies.

”It's the reinforcements from the Horned Wing Tribe. Timely!”

”They're not just fast but strong as well! They seem to be comparable to a 5th Meridian Wu Zong, and their bodies are covered in runes, granting them natural abilities to control wind! They might just be as powerful as a 5th Tier spiritual knight! Collectively, they might be on par with a 4th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master!”

Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed once more. ”Let's not delay. Move!”

The 3 of them were further from the scene of destruction. However, the dream masters within the palace were stunned.

”Reinforcements from the Horned Wing Tribe? All of us thought that the palace might have hidden treasures for it seemed luxurious. What a pity... we cannot continue our search...”

Yi Xie looked up and without hesitation, he disappeared underground in a black glow.

”Let's kill them to avenge our tribe members!”

Only Yi Xie had such an ability; the other dream masters were left behind, not knowing what to do.

Against the wind current, all of them could only defend. As soon as they realised what was happening, the roof of the palace was already blown apart. A few 4-winged Horned Wing Tribe members were looking down from above with menacing glares.

'D*mn it... this spiritual aura!'

A few dream masters quickly composed themselves. ”4th Tier of Illusionary Divine? If all of us combine forces, we might just be able to take them down!”

However, a few dream masters with quicker reactions had already executed their own techniques to escape. How would there be enough dream masters to combine forces together?

The remaining few dream masters were surrounded and attacked. Their bodies were torn apart.

Some of them cried out loud before their demise. ”I am from Baize Mountain. How dare you do this to me! Are you not afraid that your tribe might be wiped out?”

However, all effort was futile in front of an enraged group of Horned Wing Tribe members. They were still killed.

As they died, their blood and corpse were quickly absorbed by the space around them, which made the entire place appear red.

...

”We have 20 sacrifices, and that's enough!”

Old Mother of Tianmu, Elder Smelter, and Old Xue glanced at the blood-red sandbox and were elated. ”Let's combine forces to break the seal!”

”Rumble!”

An invisible force broke through from mid-air and descended. Even the hollow was shaking from the intense force.

”The sacrifice is complete. It is only a matter of time that we will be able to reap the rewards from the hollow and destroy the seal. However, we still need some time. In fact, about half a day's time...”

The few highly-skilled dream masters remained neutral.

The hollow was the ultimate goal! How much can the weak dream masters reap from the hollow in half a day's time? It was insignificant!

”The only thing we need to be cautious of is the Hidden Dragon Guards!”

A spiritual will spread across the mountains. ”The Divine Lotus Cult and the Evil Divine Sect have passed down news! Although they have successfully created chaos, they were quickly suppressed. It was as though the royal family knew what was happening!”

”Tianmu Mountain is the fruit of my labour. I have put in place 38,000 Green Wood Magical Seals. Even the Hidden Dragon Guards will take a long time to break through all those seals and locate us...”

Before she could complete her sentence, there was a rumbling sound! The entire cave shook.

”What's that?”

Her expression quickly changed. From mid-air, a few black silhouettes appeared. ”Greetings... all of you!”

”D*mn it!”
