Chapter 396: A Vicious Beauty

Originally, only five Qi warriors from the Realm of Black Marsh were drifting towards the central islands on floating logs.

However, as Dong Li appeared and threatened them, some other Qi warriors who had been hiding in the dark realized that they had been exposed, and thus stopped sneaking around.

SHEW! SHEW!

Two black-robed men jumped out from behind a dense bush and lightly landed on two more floating logs covered in moss.

The two of them were at the middle Greater Heaven stage, slightly stronger than the first five.

In the same way, they propelled the logs with their spiritual power, and like arrows leaving bowstrings, they shot towards the small islands at the center of Black Water Lake.

They had visited the islands a few times before Dong Li’s arrival, and thus knew that the spirit plants on them hadn’t reached maturity yet.

The purpose of the five going there had been to check on them and see how much longer it would take for them to reach maturity.

However, Dong Li’s appearance made them realize that it was no longer an option for them to harvest the spirit plants after they reached maturity.

Even though they understood that the medicinal efficacy of the spirit plants would be compromised if they picked them before they reached maturity, they couldn’t afford to worry about that now.

Therefore, they were bent on snatching the spirit plants, evacuating from Black Water Lake, and returning to the Realm of Black Marsh as quickly as possible so that they wouldn’t be surrounded and killed by powerful reinforcements from the Dong Clan.

Standing by the edge of Black Water Lake, Dong Li’s bright eyes shone with a vicious light as she watched the two Qi warriors from the Realm of Black Marsh jump out from the dark and rush towards the central islands.

Dong Li snorted a cold laugh. “A bunch of stupid morons. You really think people can just come and pick the spirit plants in Black Water Lake as they please?”

It seemed that the purpose of her revealing herself and crying out to them was to spur the Qi warriors from the Realm of Black Marsh and make them anxious.

The two middle Greater Heaven stage experts emerging and rushing towards the central islands was exactly what she had anticipated.

WHOOSH!

Another middle Greater Heaven stage expert from the Realm of Black Marsh secretly dashed towards Dong Li along the edge of Black Water Lake.

Instructed by his senior martial brother, the man had come to intercept her in case she wanted to tamper with their operation.

Dong Li seemed to have noticed his movements and recognized his intentions. Her expression didn’t flicker a bit as she continued to fix her glittering eyes on the seven Qi warriors who were approaching the center of Black Water Lake.

She seemed to be waiting for something.

When the two middle Greater Heaven stage experts were a significant distance away from the shore, and there was no way they could jump back, Dong Li suddenly sneered out loud.

At the same time, a green, glowing sphere whizzed out from her palm and stopped above Black Water Lake in the blink of an eye.

Rain was still drizzling down from the sky.

Nie Tian and Luo Xin also noticed the green glowing sphere that had shot out from Dong Li’s location.

“What’s that?” Luo Xin asked in a low voice.

“I have no idea.” Nie Tian shook his head, puzzled.

In the next moment, the green, glowing sphere suddenly exploded in midair, sending out a substantial amount of fine drops of green liquid in every direction. Mixed with raindrops, they fell into the lake, carrying a strange smell that was both sweet and bloody.

As they made contact with the lake’s surface, tiny green splashes were created.

Keeping a close watch with his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian had a feeling that the green liquid seemed to contain something that was bizarre and deadly.

Soon, the green liquid spread out on the lake surface as the water rippled.

The grayish-black lake surface seemed to be rapidly painted green. Not only did the green liquid quickly spread out on the surface, but it also spread down towards the depths of the lake.

Nie Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, “What?!”

“What’s going on?” Luo Xin wasn’t aware of what was happening.

Nie Tian didn’t respond, but instead closed his eyes under her gaze.

By doing that, he concentrated all of his attention on his Heaven Eyes, and the connection between him and his Heaven Eyes grew stronger.

Now, he was able to detect the increasingly noticeable fluctuations of flesh and blood from the depths of the unfathomable lake.

When they had first arrived by Black Water Lake, he had scanned the lake water with his Heaven Eyes.
