Chapter 1781
Skye immediately said, “Look at that. Look! Even the fatty understands things better than you people!
Let’s go. The sky has turned dark, and we better go back to training. We might really get into a fight two
days after this.”
Angus smiled bitterly and said, “We might get into a fight, huh? Haha… Judging by the First Fortress
Master’s attitude, there’s only a slim chance that we’ll battle, and not long after that, the people from
the Pavilion Billow Cloud will arrive. By then, it’ll only be a negotiation between both parties!”
Hendrick also said, “That’s right. On top of that, we can’t break through within a couple of days, so
training is useless.”
Meanwhile, a man arrived before the First Fortress Master.
The First Fortress Master looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and slowly said, “How is it?
What’s the situation in the forest?”
The middle-aged man gestured politely with his hands and said, “They’ve started fighting. The people
from the Bloodshed Clan arrived in the morning and they sent a sizable group of disciples into the area,
but I’m not sure what’s going on in the forest right now. Regardless, it sounded as though battles
occurred everywhere, and the noises ceased not long after they began. It looks like those people who
entered this area don’t have a high fighting prowess.”

The First Fortress Master’s expression seemed unpleasant at the report. “Sigh… These people truly
have disappointed me. If more of them had broken through into the ultimate god level, they’d cause
more damage to the Bloodshed Clan disciples, and we’d greatly benefit from that!”
The middle-aged man smilingly said, “Haha… First Fortress Master, there’s no need to worry. Those
people don’t have a high fighting prowess, but many of the Bloodshed Clan disciples are in the true god
level or demi-god level. On top of that, a large number of people barged into this area. Although the
Bloodshed Clan announced that they have a hundred thousand disciples, there must be about three
hundred to four hundred people who entered the area, even if they fought one another and were killed
by monster beasts, right? That many should inflict great damage to the Bloodshed Clan.”
However, the middle-aged man paused here before he said, frowning, “First Fortress Master, I,
however, feel that we can’t wait for too long before we take action. Although we benefit from doing that,
there are drawbacks to it. I also thought about it last night, and this is what I have come up with.”
“How’s that possible? What’s the harm to us if we do something a little later? In my opinion, it benefits
us no matter what it is. We’ll be able to report to the Pavilion Billow Cloud, and the Bloodshed Clan will
be weakened. What’s so bad about that?” Austin frowned, evidently not understanding the middle-aged
man’s train of thoughts.

Only then did the middle-aged man say, “Think about it. These people must have entered the forest
around one month ago, no? If that’s the case, they must’ve obtained quite a number of spirited grass
from the area. Although they’ve used quite a number of these items, they’ll still have the martial skills,
spirited grass, or martial art technique they obtained. How much martial enhancement material is there
when there are so many of them?”
As Austin listened to what the man said, he understood the meaning behind the conversation before
the man continued speaking. Austin then said, his expression dark, “I understand what you’re trying to
say. Those martial enhancement materials will belong to the members of the Bloodshed Clans after the
outsiders are killed by their disciples, and they won’t hand them to us.”
Chapter 1782
What the man in front of him said caused Austin’s heart to quiver. It was true that there were lots of
martial enhancement materials in that place, and once the Bloodshed Clan disciples had them, they
would never get it back.
However, he thought about it and said, “There’s no need to worry. I’m sure many of the disciples from
the Bloodshed Clan would die, and the disciples’ belongings would land in the hands of those who
entered the sacred grounds. On top of that, it’s alright if this can kill quite a number of Bloodshed Clan
disciples and allow those people to benefit from it.”
The middle-aged man in front of him also nodded after he heard this and said, “What you’ve said is
right. How many days shall
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe wait?”
“At least another two or three days, perhaps? After all, if we go in too early, I’m afraid that the people of
Pavilion Billow Cloud would leave late, too. If the people from the Pavilion Billow Cloud came later than
that, we’d suffer a huge loss if we fight for a long period!” Austin thought about it before he finally said,
“You people should continue observing what’s happening in the forest. Report to me as soon as there
is any news, do you understand?”
“Don’t worry, First Fortress Master. We’ll definitely report to you on time!” The middle-aged man
gestured politely with his hands and quickly left.
At this moment, multiple bonfires were burning outside the forest. The elders and sect master of the
Bloodshed Clan guarding outside the forest feasted on a delicious barbeque of monster beasts while
drinking nice wine. It was evident that they enjoyed themselves.

“Daytime passed, just like that, and I’m sure they’ve had quite a handful of rewards. Haha! Those
people have just entered this area recently, and there aren’t many who are in the ultimate god level.
This can be considered an experience for our disciples, and we, more importantly, can garner an
impressive amount of precious items!” The First Elder of the Bloodshed Clan took a large sip of his
wine and laughed loudly.
“Haha… The First Elder is right! The highlight of the day is that we made such a big commotion, and so
many of us are guarding outside the forest. Surely, the Nine Armies must’ve heard something, yet
they’re hiding in their fortresses like tortoises. None of them dared come forward. Haha!” The Second
Elder of the Bloodshed Clan chomped off a mouthful of monster beast meat he had in his hands,
expression proud and haughty.
The Third Elder replied, “Haha! This means that the people of the Nine Armies understand themselves
well. After all, their First Fortress Master is no match for our sect master. How can they fight against us
when they don’t have as many people in the ultimate god level as us? In the past, didn’t they always
swallow the insult when a few small altercations happened between us?”
The sect master of the Bloodshed Clan, Edward, had a smile on his face when he spoke in a serious
manner, “You guys shouldn’t look down on the Nine Armies. We are much stronger than them, but no
more than that. It’s possible that they’ve not come forward to confront us because they don’t know what
we’re doing to the people in the forest, don’t you think?”
The Fourth Elder nodded and said, “What the sect master said is correct-they probably haven’t found
out what’s happening here. After all, the people of the Nine Armies don’t always come and search for
precious items here. They might have already searched for precious items and have been busy training
recently, so they have no idea what’s happening in the forest.”
“That’s impossible. With such a big commotion, they’ll definitely find out what happened the next day,
even if they didn’t realize it during the first day. We’re some distance away, but the weather today is
nice and the skies are clear. I’m sure their people will be able to discover that something is wrong over
here when they stand on top of the high walls of their fortress, right? They must’ve seen something!”
The First Elder shook his head and said, “I think the Nine Armies don’t dare come out because they’re
afraid of us or they’re pretending that they didn’t see anything, seeing as playing the clueless card will
save them the hassle.”
Chapter 1783
All of a sudden, several members of the sect ran out of the forest, searching for the sect master and
elders right after.
The Second Elder smiled indifferently and casually asked the disciples,” What happened? Did you guys
come out to take a rest?”
They might have been tired due to slaying the outlanders from the abandoned world the whole day,
coming to rest after all that.
Unexpectedly, one of the disciples, an old man in the Fourth-grade ultimate god level, struggled to
catch his breath before replying, “No, sect master and elders. I have something to report. We noticed
something was off, so we ran out!”
“And what’s that?” The First Elder frowned, sweeping his gaze across the disciples.
Only then did the old man say, “We… We discovered that many of our people died after fighting them.
It’s beyond our expectations to see three disciples in the Third-grade ultimate god level dead in one of
our battlegrounds. There were also several disciples in the First and Second-grade ultimate god level
who died. Several hundreds of our other disciples have also died, but only around a hundred of these
outlanders had perished. However, none of their ceased disciples were in the ultimate god level!”
“What?!” Edward and the others were frightened to the core when they heard this. Based on their
estimation, no nightmarish monster beast in this forest could kill a Bloodshed Clan disciple in the Third-
grade ultimate god level
It was even impossible that those from the abandoned world who entered the forest had such
capabilities. Logically, a disciple with such fighting prowess should be able to do anything they want
inside this forest.
However, three disciples with such fighting prowess had died, and this was just what their disciples
saw. They still had no idea what happened in other fighting grounds.
“Curses! Why would something like this happen?” The Fourth Elder’s expression seemed grim as he
balled his fists. After all, disciples in the ultimate god level could be considered masters and important
pillars to their sect. The number of people in the ultimate god level was an important factor as to how
strong a sect was.
The old man in the Fourth-grade ultimate god level continued,” Pavilion master, if our estimations are
correct, the people from the Nine Armies must be secretly helping them to kill our people. How else
would such a master be in the opponent’s ranks?”
The First Elder’s facial expression immediately darkened as he spoke, “It seems as though the Nine
Armies wore a façade in supposedly not doing anything, but they already have from the start. They
secretly sent people into the forest to help these people. These people from the Nine Armies truly are
cunning and calculative!”
The corners of Edward’s mouth slightly twitched before he growled, “F*ck! The people of the Nine
Armies are really cunning. They pretend like nothing is happening on the surface but secretly dispatch
people to help the intruders. How utterly treacherous!”
Chapter 1784
The First Elder looked at Edward grimley. “Pavilion master, what should we do now? We have no idea
how many people the Nine Armies sent in and what their fighting prowess is. It looks like we can also
send our disciples who are in the Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Grade ultimate god level into the forest.”
Edward thought about it before he said, “Don’t worry. I understand that guy, Austin Drago’s peculiar
character. He won’t send many powerful masters into the forest; the most he’d do is dispatch a few in
the Fifth or Sixth Grade ultimate god level inside to help those people. He’d be suicidal if he dared to go
against us completely!”
The Second Elder nodded and said in agreement, “What the sect master said is correct. If they send
masters here, they would’ve led these people to fight us. They must’ve sent some people with middle-
range fighting prowess and assisted the others in killing some of our people, that’s all. In that case,
they can consider themselves as helping these people. By then, they’d be able to explain things to the
Anti-Alliance Guard. If they did nothing, they’re afraid that they can’t explain themselves and that the
upper management will blame them!”
Hearing that, Edward confidently remarked, “If that’s the case, I don’t think they even send people in
the Eighth-grade ultimate god level. On top of that, they must’ve sent just about a dozen people to
secretly help these intruders. In the end, they’ll say that they entered the forest to search for precious
items and only killed our people because of altercations. Nonetheless, there won’t be a large number of
them!”
“Pavilion master, what should we do then?” the First Elder immediately asked.
Edward thought about it before he looked over at the Fourth Elder and said, “Fourth Elder, I think we
need to ask you to make a trip-you’ll enter the forest tomorrow morning. Apart from that, I’ll ask some
disciples in the Sixth or Seventh-grade ultimate god level to also join the hunt in killing the intruders. If
you meet anybody from the Nine Armies, don’t hesitate and just kill all of them!”
“Haha… Alright! I’ve already broken through into the Ninth-grade ultimate god level one or two years
ago and my hands are itching for action-haven’t done anything for a while now, too. If I do encounter
those from the Nine Armies, I’ll show them what true regret is!” The Fourth Elder smirked, seemingly
biding his time.
“Haha… Fourth Elder, you’ll go in and give it a try first. If something comes up, just call on me, and I’ll
enter the forest and help you out. Haha!” The Third Elder started laughing loudly, obviously joking with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder rolled his eyes at the Third Elder and said, “Would I need your help? Won’t I just be
plain embarrassed then? Both of us are in the Ninth-grade ultimate god level, and I’d only need your
help if the First Fortress Master of the Nine Armies is in the forest. I’m not afraid of the other fortress
masters and other members of the Nine Armies!”
“That’s right, Third Elder. Don’t look down on the Fourth Elder; he did just break through a year or two
ago. He has a strong combat power, and even I may not be his opponent!” said the First Elder
smilingly.
At this moment, Jackie and the others had killed quite a number of the Bloodshed Clan disciples. They
rescued many of their own and asked them to travel toward the direction they agreed on.
When night came, they hid inside a considerably deserted cave, stationing someone to stand guard
while the rest continued to train to stabilize their fighting prowess.
Chapter 1785
Jackie, of course, did not train, opting instead to cultivate third-grade intermediate pills during nighttime
as he took out the ingredients and pill furnace.
As the rate of success was extremely important, Jackie did not have thoughts of experiencing other
third-grade intermediate pills. He was cultivating the pill he successfully cultivated previously
Their group of people required a total of seven pills, including Melody. It was a hefty pressure for
Jackie.
Jackie successively cultivated eight sets of ingredients throughout the night, and he succeeded three
times, resulting in three third-grade intermediate pills.
It had to be understood that such a success rate was considered impressive already.
“Huff!” As daylight broke, Jackie stood up and exhaled heavily. “I’m more proficient during this round of
cultivation than last time, it seems. I’ll cultivate four more pills tonight, and we’ll have one pill each. Our
combat power will definitely increase greatly if we work hard to break through together!”
“Haha… This means we’ll be able to end those people easily, then!” Alejandro laughed and said,
“Among the Bloodshed Clan disciples that we killed yesterday, the one with the highest fighting
prowess seems to be in the Fourth-grade ultimate god level, no? We didn’t see anybody in the Fifth or
Sixth-grade ultimate god level. It looks like those from the Bloodshed Clan didn’t send many master-
ranked disciples into the forest.”
To that, Jackie smiled bitterly. “That was yesterday, and it happened because they underestimated us.
Today, disciples in the Fifth or Sixth Grade ultimate god level might just come. We might even meet
disciples in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level, though I believe they won’t be sending too many
disciples of such fighting prowess. After all, they must be thinking that their main opponent is the
people from the Nine Armies, and they wouldn’t make a big scene when handling people like us.”
It was then Kenneth spoke with a frown on his face, “Young Master Jackie, didn’t you say yesterday
that they’d suspect that the Nine Armies had secretly sent people here to help us after seeing the
corpses of disciples in Third-grade ultimate god level? Would they still not dispatch more disciples in
the Seventh or Eighth-grade ultimate god level?”
Jackie did not hesitate and replied with a smile, “They won’t send too many because they’ll think that
the Nine Armies won’t send too many people, even if they did send people to help us. Why didn’t all the
people from the Nine Armies act together, as it’s an extra move to send many masters?”
“Argh! This Nine Armies group is just as accursed. We saw nothing from them the whole day yesterday.
First Mistress Cabello even said that those young people of the Nine Armies promised that they’d
inform the members of the Nine Armies and ask them to come and help us. I’m now questioning if
they’re members of the Anti-Alliance Guard instead!” Kenneth felt anger rising within him as he thought
of how the people of the Nine Armies were taciturn.
“There’s nothing we can do. What they want right now is to watch the fires burning from across the
river. Our only option right now is to raise our fighting prowess, and that’s how we’ll be able to stay
alive. We can’t keep thinking about how to rely on others. They’ll surely act, but not right now. Those
people are some cunning old foxes!”
Jackie smiled helplessly and flew up into the sky. He listened to the fighting noises nearby and said
with a smile on his face, “Not bad. It sounded like lesser battles are happening today compared to
yesterday. Without the fighting noises, it wouldn’t be so easy for those people from the Bloodshed Clan
to find us. Still, many of our people who entered this area must’ve died yesterday.”
