Chapter 880: The Extremely Daring Xiao Chen

There was a special thing to note. Be it the Corpse Race or the other races, in the fight for this kind of resource star, they would not take the initiative to attack the ordinary people. Otherwise, they would end up violating a great taboo.

The ordinary people knew this as well. No matter who occupied this resource star, their treatment and rewards would not change; hence, they would not put up much resistance to their orders.

After all, no matter whom they worked for, their rewards would remain the same. They just had to keep gathering resources; only their employers had changed.

“The main forces of the Corpse Race are gathered on Black Patterned Island. There are probably at least twenty Superior Grade Martial Sages there, in addition to Long Fei and Wei Hua, who are demonic geniuses that surpass ordinary Superior Grade Martial Sages. There are also large numbers of Sage Grade Demonic Corpses on the island.

“What is Old Sir’s opinion of the Corpse Race’s strength?”

Qin Wu thought for a while before replying, “Very strong. Dragon Wood Star took in the cultivators of the two conquered resource stars. Even so, we only have about thirty Superior Grade Martial Sages. Black Monarch Island, White Monarch Island, and Azure Monarch Island have three Superior Grade Martial Sages each. The remaining ones are all at the main camp.”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and revealed a smile on his delicate face. He said, “They are indeed strong. Furthermore, the Corpse Race grasped the secret techniques of refining Demonic Corpses. The large number of corpses from battles will continually augment their strength.

“However, they require a Corpse Refining Pool in order to refine Demonic Corpses. It is not easy to build a Corpse Refining Pool; it requires a large amount of time and effort. Once we destroy this Corpse Refining Pool, every time they lose a batch of Demonic Corpses, it will be forever. After we have destroyed all their Demonic Corpses, their combat ability will definitely bottom out.”

The strength of the Corpse Race lay in their Demonic Corpses. Without Demonic Corpses, no matter how powerful the Corpse Race cultivators were, their numbers were far too small when facing so many more human cultivators; they would only end up butchered.

Qin Wu said, “I know this. However, the Corpse Refining Pool is now on Black Patterned Island. There must be strong troops guarding it. Destroying this Corpse Refining Pool would not be easy.”

Xiao Chen pointed to Black Monarch Island. He smiled and said, “The opportunity is here now. After Long Fei and the others obtain the information that Bai Wuxue is going to move the elite Martial Sages of Black Monarch Island, they are bound to use many of their troops to prepare an ambush. The forces on Black Patterned Island would be reallocated to ensure a beautiful victory.

“The most important thing is that in order to easily suppress Bai Wuxue, Long Fei and Wei Hua will have to work together. If only one of them goes, it is possible that Bai Wuxue could escape. Thus, here lies our chance.”

Qin Wu’s eyes lit up. He felt that this plan was feasible. With Xiao Chen’s strength and without Long Fei and Wei Hua, the two strong demonic geniuses, standing guard, they should be able to sneak into Black Patterned Island and leave easily.

However, after a while, Qin Wu started to hesitate. He said, “This is not right. We can’t just watch as Bai Wuxue and the others leap into the fire pit. This is a little…”

“Once we have destroyed the Corpse Refining Pool, we will defeat the Corpse Race sooner or later. We could flip the situation on Dragon Wood Star instantly. As for Bai Wuxue, he is clearly doing this to fight for military merit. That is why he is taking such a risk. This is something for him to deal with.

“However, there is no need to worry. Bai Wuxue and Ximen Bao will not die. Once the Corpse Refining Pool can no longer hold on, Long Fei and Wei Hua will naturally come back to try and save it.”

After hearing what Xiao Che said, Qin Wu considered things from the big picture. Finally, he made up his mind and said, “In that case, let’s do as you said. Brother Xiao Chen made great contributions by flushing out the mole. If we can destroy the Corpse Refining Pool, that would be another great contribution.

“I will definitely report this matter to the higher-ups. You will surely gain plenty of military merits. It might even be possible for you to be conferred a Marquis.”

Breaking the Corpse Refining Pool was equal to dealing with the danger to a resource star. In practical terms, it was much better than killing several Martial Sages. There would no doubt be a lot of military merits.

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he formed hand seals. The iron sword resumed flying towards Black Patterned Island with a ‘whoosh.’

He watched the iron sword fly away, his face still wearing a grave expression as he entrusted the matter to Xiao Chen. “Even if Long Fei and Wei Hua, the peak demonic geniuses, are not near the Corpse Refining Pool, there will be many older-generation Superior Grade Martial Sages nearby. The danger of this trip of yours will not be low. Take care of yourself.”

Naturally, Xiao Chen was aware of the dangers involved. However, as long as Long Fei and Wei Hua were not present, given his current strength, he still had ways to break out after being surrounded.

This Xiao Chen is really bold. In the end, whether this plan succeeds or not will depend on his personal strength. If he fails to destroy the Corpse Refining Pool, we will lose the elite Martial Sages of Black Monarch Island.

As Qin Wu watched Xiao Chen leave, he also found Xiao Chen unfathomable. How strong exactly is this fellow?

After Xiao Chen returned, he immediately called Jin Lin, Xiao Xian, and Liu Ke together. He instructed the three of them to lead the troops to cause a big commotion tomorrow.

After Jin Lin heard their orders, he could not help but smile happily. “We are finally going to deal with the islands with the Superior Grade Martial Sages guarding them. This time, we are going to gain a lot of military merits.”

Over the past few days, the three of them had led the troops out and gained great harvests. Furthermore, their individual strength had soared as well, successfully breaking through to Medial Grade Martial Sage. Now, their cultivations were even higher than Xiao Chen’s.

However, even though the three were already Medial Grade Martial Sages, they still found Xiao Chen unfathomable as they looked at him. They did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Xiao Chen was currently not paying any special attention to his cultivation, remaining stuck at peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. He focused most of his thoughts on his saber Dao. Once he completed his saber Dao, he would not have difficulty raising his cultivation.

“You can go all out tomorrow. There is no need to run after a few strikes like the past few days. The enemies will definitely not send any reinforcements. Your mission is the Superior Grade Martial Sage on the island. You must not let him live.”

“We guarantee it!” the three said in unison.

Xiao Chen gave a few more instructions before sending the three on their way. After that, he held a jade strip with a star chart in it. He used it to evaluate the resource stars in the local region.

His gaze fell on the two resource stars that the Corpse God Palace conquered, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. Then, he continued shifting his gaze upwards, to the resource stars belonging to the Corpse Race. It seemed like he entered into deep thought.

As Xiao Chen made his arrangements, Wei Hua and the others received the message from the flying sword and rejoiced.

Wei Hua held the iron sword in his hand as he smiled. “What a Bai Wuxue! He is frighteningly bold. To think he wants to eliminate all the Corpse Race cultivators on one of my secondary islands. What a fool he is! Right now, whoever makes a mistake when the two armies clash will not be able to recover from it.

“Since he wants to play big, I shall play along. Brother Long Fei, go and inform the Young Master of the Muddy Sky Gate. Tomorrow, after we kill Bai Wuxue, we shall break through the third line of defense. After that, we will attack the main camp of the Martial God Palace and take Dragon Wood Star in one go.”

Long Fei said, “The main camp of the Martial God Palace is not that easy to take down. Even if we work together with the Muddy Sky Gate, we will not be able to take it down quickly. How about this? Tomorrow, you and Wang Can lead two-thirds of the island’s cultivators and lay a trap. Kui Dou and I, as well as the remaining people, will stay to guard the Corpse Refining Pool.

“With the Corpse Refining Pool, there will be an endless number of Monarch Grade Demonic Corpses. We will hold the advantage forever. This way, success is more assured.”

Wei Hua thought for a while before replying, “Good, that is what we will do. With the two of you around and a few seniors, we won’t have to fear anyone coming to mess with the Corpse Refining Pool. With two-thirds of the Corpse Race cultivators, it should be easy to crush Bai Wuxue and his group. Likewise, we should be able to break through the third line of defense after working with the Muddy Sky Gate.

“After that, there will be no way to change the faction in control of Dragon Wood Star.”

At dusk of the next day, Bai Wuxue had gathered a hundred people at Black Monarch Island. Although there were not many people, they were all, without a doubt, elites; all of them were Medial Grade Martial Sages.

He had also convinced the two Superior Grade Martial Sage Vice Island Lords of Black Monarch Island, who decided to accompany the group.

These people had immense confidence in their strength. As long as they did not face an overly strong encirclement, they would still be able to escape. Furthermore, Bai Wuxue contributed many Astral Coins as payment. So they agreed to take the risk for him.

Bai Wuxue extended his hand and waved. A pearl emitting a cold light with snowflakes around it appeared on his palm. Ximen Bao’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Is this the thing that will allow us to reach the satellite islands of Black Patterned Island undetected?”

“This is a Snow Race Secret Treasure—the Heavenly Ice Pearl. It can execute a skill called Water Evasion. Don’t worry. We definitely can sneak past undetected.”

Ximen Bao was still somewhat worried, saying, “I still feel that this move is too risky. If we are all taken out, the defense of Black Monarch Island will be done for. No matter how many Inferior Grade Martial Sages and half-Sages there are, it would be useless.”

Bai Wuxue smiled with confidence. He said, “How can this be? We will finish this quickly, ending the battle in one hour at most. Don’t forget there are three Superior Grade Martial Sages there. That is thirty thousand military merits. Furthermore, there are other Corpse Race cultivators on the island. After we succeed, we will be able to surpass Xiao Chen in one go.”

The Heavenly Ice Pearl gave off a light and covered the group of people. Then they quickly moved to the bottom of the sea.

This point was where the true chaos of the quiet Dragon Wood Star would start. Xiao Chen, Wei Hua, and Bai Wuxue all felt that their plans would not fail, that nothing would go wrong.

The island Bai Wuxue targeted was called Heavenly Wind Island. The most famous resource on this island was the Heavenly Wind Grass, a Spirit Herb that contained wind-attributed energy. Although it was not as precious as Black Patterned Gold, it was abundant. Furthermore, there were a few crystal mines of various attributes. The Corpse Race had sent many people to this island.

Naturally, the strongest ones were the three Superior Grade Martial Sages. The rest were mostly Inferior Grade Martial Sages and half-Sages. There were only ten Medial Grade Martial Sages. After all, this was not the main camp of the Corpse Race. There was no need to have too much of a military presence here.

Bai Wuxue obtained this news by scouting himself and returning several times to verify.

Going by the strengths of both sides, Bai Wuxue’s group of elite Martial Sages would definitely be able to kill all the Corpse Race cultivators on the island within an hour. Not only would doing so boost the morale of the Martial God Palace’s side, but it would also allow his military merits to surpass Xiao Chen’s.

Under the cover of night, a large ice pearl emerged silently from the water by the beach of Heavenly Wind Island. After that, a light flashed, and Bai Wuxue put away the Heavenly Ice Pearl. All the elite Martial Sages making the sneak attack appeared.

Ximen Bao looked around and saw the peaceful Heavenly Wind Island. He smiled and said, “Brother Bai’s Heavenly Ice Pearl is indeed powerful. We really passed undetected. What should we do now?”

“What should we do?” A happy expression appeared on Bai Wuxue’s face. He said, “Do you even need me to tell you? Naturally, kill as though we are gods of death. Sweep through the entire Heavenly Wind Island and kill everyone in sight, gaining plenty of military merits.”
