Chapter 41: Finally Meeting Up

Long Zhan Tian saw Zhuang Guangming’s 250 million disciples under attack by the ice bees, with now less than 100 million left. How could he miss such an opportunity? Naturally, Long Zhan Tian ordered a full-scale attack.
The 250 million disciples all flew into the air, crossed the Tianjiao Grand Canyon, and headed straight for the area where Zhuang Guangming’s disciples were gathered.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The disciples of Long Zhan Tian reached the sky and, witnessing the vast clouds of blood mist, were filled with awe. They immediately shouted battle cries.
Monsters naturally loved battle. This once-in-a-million-years battlefield ignited the deepest fighting desire in the 250 million disciples, making them forget fear and eager to unleash their full strength in a massacre.
In moments, the 250 million disciples pierced through the layers of blood mist and reached the ground.
When Qu Yi saw Long Zhan Tian and his men approaching, he quickly pulled back the remaining 50 million ice bees into the Dimension Ball, along with the queen bees, then vanished into the distance.
On the battlefield, only the disciples of both sides were fighting each other now.
250 million against 100 million.
“Give me your lives!”
One of Long Zhan Tian’s disciples landed on the ground and saw a fellow disciple on the verge of madness nearby. He immediately shouted and rushed at him. With just one slash, he ended the life of that disciple whose magic energy was nearly depleted.
Filled with fighting desire, Xu Ji targeted others around him.
“Haha, you’ve used up so much of your magic energy—let me take advantage!”
Elsewhere, a disciple of Long Zhan Tian encountered one of Zhuang Guangming’s disciples and, overjoyed, rushed at him. With a single spear thrust, he killed the dying man.
“Damn, what great luck! There are fifty crippled guys here—let me enjoy this!”
At a place where blood flowed like a stream, a disciple of Long Zhan Tian landed and found more than fifty disciples with exhausted magic energy and shattered bodies lying in the “blood stream.” He danced with joy.
Without delay, he picked up a fancy long sword and flew over to kill all fifty of them.
Massacres were unfolding everywhere.
Zhuang Guangming’s disciples, having been attacked by the ice bees earlier, were either injured or had their magic energy depleted by the chaotic energy streams. They had no strength to escape and could only wait for Long Zhan Tian’s disciples to come and slaughter them.
A true massacre.

Long Zhan Tian and the eleven elders were hovering in the air. Although their eyes were obscured by thick blood mist, their demonic senses allowed them to see everything below clearly.
“Very good, very good. Our disciples have only suffered slight losses, while we’ve almost wiped out Zhuang Guangming’s disciples.”
“Qu Yi is truly formidable—he even has five or six hundred million ice bees, dealing another heavy blow to Zhuang Guangming.”
“Once Zhuang Guangming’s disciples are eliminated, the final battle among us elders will take place in a month. I wonder if Zhuang Guangming still has the courage to come.”
“In the battle among the elders, Zhuang Guangming surely won’t give up, after all, he still has nine powerful Upper Earth Soul Demons backing him.”
For a while, the twelve of them spoke joyfully.
On the other side, Zhuang Guangming and the eight elders were in agony. Their own disciples were dying at an unprecedented rate, with those who still had some strength being completely wiped out by Long Zhan Tian’s disciples.
“Damn it! That bastard who released the ice bees!”
“How can Long Zhan Tian be so lucky? Long Batian passed on the sect leader to him, and now he even has such an extraordinary cultivator to help him.”
“That guy who released the ice bees killed fifty million of our disciples before. Now he’s helping Long Zhan Tian massacre our disciples. I hate him to death!”
“If our disciples die out, so be it. As long as we win the battle among the elders, we can recruit some of Long Zhan Tian’s disciples to keep the Baolong Sect running.”
After a while, the elders spat out vicious words.
Zhuang Guangming remained silent.
※※※
Qu Yi had landed on a mountain peak, where Long Hu Wei was already there.
“Brother Qu Yi, you’re amazing! How do you have so many ice bees?” Long Hu Wei exclaimed, his eyes shining.
Long Hu Wei had been sensing the entire battlefield the whole time, filled with excitement. Now that he saw Qu Yi, he truly admired him.
Qu Yi smiled, shook his hair, and said, “Brother Hu Wei, I’m just lucky. I accidentally controlled the queen bees and thus took control of this group of ice bees.”
Long Hu Wei was stunned.
“Brother Qu Yi, there are no less than five or six hundred million of these ice bees. How did you control and store them? Do you have some special storage magic artifact?” Long Hu Wei asked urgently.
Qu Yi shook his head and smiled, “Brother Hu Wei, don’t ask that question anymore. It’s my secret.”
He wouldn’t tell anyone about the Dimension Ball.

Long Huwei was stunned for a moment, then anxiety appeared on his face. He immediately said, “Brother Qu Yi, that’s not what I meant. I had no intention of probing into your secrets.”
Qu Yi placed a hand on Long Huwei’s shoulder and smiled, “I know. That’s why I’m not blaming you. Alright, let’s go meet Long Zhan Tian now.”
At this point, Qu Yi thought it was time to meet Long Zhan Tian.
Upon hearing this, Long Huwei’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately exclaimed, “Great! I’ve always wanted to introduce you two to each other. I’ll lead the way; follow me.”
With that, Long Huwei flew into the air, heading in the direction where Long Zhan Tian was.
It wasn’t long before the two arrived in a certain area in the sky.
Long Zhan Tian had already sensed Long Huwei’s presence earlier, and then he sensed Qu Yi’s as well, which raised a hint of confusion in his mind.
“Senior brother, I’m here,” Long Huwei called out from afar in the air.
Long Zhan Tian waited smiling for Long Huwei to fly over, but his gaze was mostly on Qu Yi until the two arrived ahead.
“Junior brother, you’ve come. You’ve even reached the cultivation level of a Mid-Level Earth Soul Demon. Oh, junior brother, who is this friend?” Long Zhan Tian said with a smile.
The eleven elders also stared at Qu Yi intently.
Long Huwei happily pulled Qu Yi over and said with a smile, “Senior brother, this is Qu Yi. He’s helped us a lot.”
Qu Yi smiled slightly.
Long Zhan Tian and the eleven elders had already guessed this, but they hadn’t been sure enough to speak out. Now, after hearing Long Huwei’s words, all twelve of them looked at Qu Yi in surprise.
There was no fluctuation of demonic energy around Qu Yi, which was quite strange.
“Friend Qu Yi, thank you for your help these past days. You played a crucial role in eliminating Zhuang Guangming,” Long Zhan Tian said gratefully.
“Thank you too, friend Qu Yi,” the eleven elders also said gratefully.
Qu Yi’s current aura made it impossible for the twelve to determine his exact cultivation level, but they all knew that since he had the strength to kill a High-Level Earth Soul Demon, he must possess that status.
“Everyone, no need to be polite. Brother Huwei is my friend. If his sect is in trouble, I certainly won’t stand by idly,” Qu Yi said calmly.
These words stirred up waves in Long Zhan Tian’s and the eleven elders’ hearts.
“What Qu Yi means is that in the future, Long Huwei should succeed as the head of the Baolong Sect.”
“If anyone tries to harm Long Huwei, Qu Yi will step in to kill them.”
The twelve understood Qu Yi’s words clearly.

“Friend Qu Yi, rest assured. As for junior brother Hu Wei, as long as he’s interested in taking charge of the Tyrant Dragon Sect, I will fully support him,” said Long Zhan Tian calmly.
“The eleven elders also express their support for Long Hu Wei,” they added.
Hearing these words, Long Hu Wei felt deeply grateful.
However, he said, “Brother Qu Yi, I’m confident leaving the affairs of the Tyrant Dragon Sect in your hands. I’m not suited to lead it. From now on, I’ll focus solely on cultivation.”
Qu Yi nodded, knowing that Long Hu Wei had recognized his true nature and would now devote himself to cultivation.
“Then let’s go deal with Zhuang Guangming together. After killing him and avenging your father, we can venture into the Demon Realm together,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Long Zhan Tian’s worries vanished.
“Friend Qu Yi, you’ve helped me so much. If you need any reward, just ask,” Long Zhan Tian said confidently.
The eleven elders also nodded calmly.
Qu Yi shook his head and smiled, “Actually, there’s no need for formalities. With my current level of cultivation, the Tyrant Dragon Sect can’t really help much.”
The sect’s core spiritual veins were already under Qu Yi’s control, and he had already received his reward. He wasn’t interested in any other benefits from the sect. Still, he valued one thing about it—the friendship it offered. In the future, it would be convenient to use the sect’s strength to accomplish certain tasks.
Long Zhan Tian and the eleven elders were once again surprised.
“Brother Hu Wei, you should also reveal your true cultivation level to everyone,” Qu Yi suddenly said.
At present, Long Hu Wei was suppressing his demonic energy, showing only the cultivation level of a mid-tier Earth Soul Demon.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Long Hu Wei’s face turned red, and he quickly released his demonic energy, revealing his true cultivation level as an upper-tier Earth Soul Demon.
“Ah, junior brother, you’ve already reached the level of an upper-tier Earth Soul Demon!”
“An upper-tier Earth Soul Demon… How fast!”
In moments, several voices of surprise arose, filled with disbelief.
Seeing this, Qu Yi smiled and said, “Well, I told you this because I want to remind you that in the upcoming battle among you elders, there’s now an unseen helper.”
Long Zhan Tian and the eleven elders were overjoyed at this news.
“That’s right. Zhuang Guangming has the support of an upper-tier Earth Soul Demon warrior, and now we also have one hidden among us,” Long Zhan Tian said happily.

Qu Yi nodded and then said, “Your side’s disciples are almost done wiping out Zhuang Guangming’s side’s disciples. Now, let’s plan how to carry out the final battle among the elders.” Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
