Chapter 930: Flesh Filling Tombstone!
After knowing Terminator Sect and Heavenly Sword Mountain’s stance on this matter, Qin Lie was finally certain that he could deal with the three great ghoul races.
He was certain that this united force would be able to take the three ghoul races head-on.
“There are still plenty of Heaven Ghoul clansmen operating on Prism Continent. Once Bhutto is severely injured or killed, Terminator Sect will attack that place at first notice.” Shen Kui promised.
“We’ll be returning to Flaming Sun Island first,” Qin Lie said.
While he was conversing with Terminator Sect’s people, Du Xiangyang and Luo Chen waited at the spatial transportation formation.
Just as he expressed his intention to leave, Tong Zhenzhen suddenly asked, “Qin Lie, have you seen Lin Liang’er at Frost Island after you returned?”
“I didn’t have the time,” Qin Lie said honestly, “there are just too many things on my head lately.”
Tong Zhenzhen expressed her understanding before thinking for a moment. Then, she said, “She has been growing at an unbelievable rate as of late, and I believe that she’ll make it to rank eight in the near future. I think that… it will be best if you can stay by her side when she makes her breakthrough in the near future.”
“I will visit her at Frost Island once the three great ghoul races are dealt with.” Qin Lie nodded.
“How about this. I’ll come with you to the Ruined Lands later and take her along to Flaming Sun Island.” Tong Zhenzhen smiled and said gently, “We are a fighting force too.”
“If you wish to go, then I have no choice but to follow.” Xu Ran smiled.
“Then let us go together,” Tong Zhenzhen decided swiftly.
“No problem.” Qin Lie agreed.
After Qin Lie and the husband and wife left Terminator Sect’s great hall, they walked towards the teleportation formation.
On the way, Qin Lie pondered for a moment before asking suddenly, “Senior Tong, you are a… Vermillion Bird of the Ancient Beast Race, correct?”
Tong Zhenzhen smiled softly. “Yes, I am. Lei Yan, Shen Kui and the others already know about this.” She didn’t try to hide her ident.i.ty.
“Are you at rank eight right now?” Qin Lie asked again.
Tong Zhenzhen smiled before asking curiously, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“It’s nothing.” Qin Lie didn’t know if she knew the Rank Nine Vermillion Bird in Boluo Realm, so after choosing his words carefully he ultimately said, “Not long ago, I… came to know a Rank Nine Vermillion Bird at a different place.”
“Really!?” Tong Zhenzhen suddenly grew agitated.
She subconsciously grabbed onto Qin Lie’s shoulders.
He had to stop in mid-walk because of her actions. He was slightly surprised to see the growing flames in Tong Zhenzhen’s eyes, but he quickly said, “It’s not just one Rank Nine Vermillion Bird. If I’m not mistaken… there should be a sizable clan in that place.”
He remembered clearly that several low rank Vermillion Birds had come to the foot of the mountain where the secret realm entrance was and carried away the spirit materials he brought from the Land of Chaos.
Tong Zhenzhen’s breathing grew rapid. “A clan?”
“There should be no mistake,” Qin Lie said.
“Where is it? Where are they?” Tong Zhenzhen asked anxiously.
“They’re at Boluo Realm. It is an independent realm that’s extremely far away from Spirit Realm.” Qin Lie didn’t hide it from her.
“How can I get there?” Tong Zhenzhen asked again.
“I currently control a secret realm entrance. It is a very convenient pa.s.sage to Boluo Realm.” Qin Lie answered.
Xu Ran broke his silence and said solemnly, “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you arrange a day to send her to Boluo Realm? This is very important to her.”
This was the first time he begged Qin Lie for something.
“No problem.” Qin Lie promised without any hesitation. He then asked, “When can you go?”
“The sooner the better!” Tong Zhenzhen said.
Qin Lie thought for a moment before answering, “If I don’t go with you, it may be cause some unnecessary complications. How about this—when Flaming Sun Island’s crisis is over, I shall take you there myself.”
“Alright.” Tong Zhenzhen agreed.
Judging from her expression, she could barely keep herself from telling Qin Lie to throw down his business at Flaming Sun Island and take her to Boluo Realm immediately.
But she understood that Flaming Sun Island was about to be invaded by the three great ghoul races very soon. He really couldn’t leave at such a time.
Qin Lie noticed that Tong Zhenzhen had become absentminded after she learned of the Vermillion Birds’ existence at Boluo Realm.
She didn’t say anything along the way.
It was only when they arrived at Evil Infant Island that she finally said, “Qin Lie, I need to go to Frost Island and talk about some things with Lin Liang’er. I don’t think I can come with you to Flaming Sun Island right away.”
“What about you, Uncle Xu?”
“I’m accompanying her, of course,” Xu Ran said naturally.
“Alright, then we’ll be heading to Flaming Sun Island first.” Qin Lie nodded.
After that, Du Xiangyang, Luo Chen, and him appeared at Flaming Sun Island directly through the spatial teleportation formation.
This time, he didn’t not hide his true face.
After the light surrounding the teleportation formation disappeared, the surrounding guards looked invigorated by his appearance.
“Qin Lie!” Yi Yuan exclaimed.
“Island master? Is he Island Master Qin?”
“Well met, island master!”
A lot of Flaming Sun Island martial pract.i.tioners who didn’t know Qin Lie until today greeted and saluted him respectfully after obtaining confirmation from Yi Yuan.
“Oh!” Du Xiangyang clicked his tongue in secret and said, “Flaming Sun Island is far bigger than it was five years ago!”
Stone palaces stretched as far as his eyes could see. He could also sense many intimidating auras inside these palaces. They were obviously Fragmentation and Nirvana Realm martial pract.i.tioners.
In the sky, there were many huge flying spirit artifacts that looked like giant void beasts at first glance covering up the sunlight.
Moreover, there were many powerful martial pract.i.tioners walking on the boats docked around the island.
It didn’t take much observation for Du Xiangyang and Luo Chen to realize that the current Flaming Sun Island was unbelievably strong.
“But it’s only been ten or so years…” Du Xiangyang’s shock grew bigger and bigger.
Almost all the veteran Silver rank forces of the Land of Chaos needed hundreds or even thousands of years to be able to grow to their scale and strength today.
Even the spirit artifact based sect, Celestial Artifact Sect, had to spend a hundred years or so to establish themselves in the Land of Chaos.
That was why he was shocked by how far Flaming Sun Island had grown in just ten or so years.
“Where are the… seniors who came first?” Qin Lie greeted Yi Yuan and smiled at him once before asking about Luz and his men.
Yi Yuan pointed at Blood Island before he lowered his voice and said, “They’ve temporarily hid themselves.”
Qin Lie smiled understandingly before asking, “When will the Blue Ghoul Race and Earth Ghoul Race show up?”
“It’ll take them at least another two days before they arrive,” Yi Yuan answered.
Qin Lie grew less and less worried.
“Qin Lie, do you want to declare your return? Blood Fiend Sect has been asking about you all this time. It looks like they were all hoping to see you return before the great battle,” Yi Yuan asked smilingly.
Yi Yuan was one of the true core members of Flaming Sun Island.
Song Tingyu and Tang Siqi never tried to conceal anything about Flaming Sun Island from him because he was with them since the Scarlet Tide Continent.
That was why Yi Yuan knew about Luz’s true ident.i.ty and strength.
That was also why he wasn’t as afraid of the three great ghoul races.
“It’s fine, we can do that after the ghoul races arrive.” Qin Lie waved his hand.
The group of four chatted with one another until they arrived at Qin Lie’s palace shortly after. Song Tingyu, Tang Siqi, Mo Hai, Yao Tai, and Lang Xie were all there.
Everyone was discussing on how to deal with the three great ghoul races.
Qin Lie’s group of four immediately attracted everyone’s gaze after they walked in.
Everyone’s eyes—even Lang Xie’s—had lit up when they saw him.
“You came back in time.” The hint of a smile appeared on Mo Hai’s face even though he didn’t normally reveal his feelings. He said leisurely, “We have nothing to worry about then.”
Other than the Soul Altar expert Lu Yi and the stranger Dan Miao, everyone in this palace were either friends or seniors from way back.
They were the true core of Flaming Sun Island since a long time ago.
They were also the companions that Qin Lie truly believed in.
“I heard that you went to Terminator Sect and Heavenly Sword Mountain. What did they say?” Lang Xie asked.
“If Bhutto is killed or severely injured, they will immediately attack the Heaven Ghoul Race!” Qin Lie smiled. “We have nothing to be worried about. After we deal a severe blow to the Earth Ghoul Race and Blue Ghoul Race, I am almost certain that Bhutto will cut through s.p.a.ce and arrive here to aid them. Heh, he will regret the day he returned to Spirit Realm the moment he shows up here!”
b.l.o.o.d.y light flashed across Lang Xie’s eyes. “Those evil races definitely deserve to die a thousand times over!”
The crowd hadn’t seen each other for a very long time. After speaking casually in the palace for a while, Qin Lie left first saying that he wished to communicate with Luz.
He came to a spot between Flaming Sun Island and Blood Island for a while. Then, he suddenly slipped into the sea.
At the same time, he summoned the eight G.o.d corpses and told them to float up from the deep sea.
In an instant, eight tremendous flesh and blood aura was discharged from the G.o.d corpses.
Compared to before, the energy inside the eight G.o.d corpses were actually several times stronger than they were three years ago!
The Demon Sealing Tombstone also appeared of its own volition and sparkled with scarlet light before his chest. It let out a mysterious ripple of energy.
Many Heaven Fighting Race runes gradually appeared on its surface.
The leaping runes suddenly flew into his body.
After three years had pa.s.sed, his communication with the eight G.o.d corpses had triggered a series of new and mysterious changes in the Demon Sealing Tombstone.
“The Flesh Filling Tombstone. The Demon Sealing Tombstone’s real name is the Flesh Filling Tombstone! Also… the eight G.o.d corpses can supply their master with an endless amount of flesh and blood energy through self-sacrifice if he is in danger.” Qin Lie exclaimed in shock.
