Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1685: Chapter 889: Long-Range Assault

The numerous foreign cultivators in the Yuzhu Islands, upon discovering that the formation no longer restricted them, left if they could.

As for those unable to leave, they sought ways to request other cultivators to take them away.

The main reason was that the ordeal of the Yuzhu Islands was too terrifying; even the half-step great power’s all-out effort could not stop the enemy.

No one knows what might happen in the future; staying here would be a death sentence.

The cultivators residing on the main island perished in this attack.

Even Cultivator Dai Biao did not intend to stay; the fact that the half-step great power could not solve the problem at full strength prompted him to report the matter to the sect. Furthermore, the existence of the Grotto Heaven space gate on the main island of the Yuzhu Islands also needed to be reported.

A Grotto Heaven bound to an island is highly likely to be an Inheritance Cave Heaven.

An Inheritance Cave Heaven means there is potential for the emergence of a great power, which is of utmost importance to any faction.

Even if this Cave Heaven has an owner, a half-step great power, those forces would pay any bearable price for the Inheritance Cave Heaven.

One reason Cultivator Dai Biao decided not to stay was concern. He worried that the half-step great power of the Yuzhu Islands might want to keep it secret and wipe out all foreign cultivators.

Though the probability seemed low, considering the risks after the space gate’s exposure, silencing witnesses was the best option.

What he didn’t know was that it wasn’t that the half-step great power didn’t want to silence them; given the chance, the half-step great power truly wished to kill all the cultivators who saw the space gate here.

But due to a previous fit of rage, the full-force activation once, coupled with the Cave Heaven not recovering after an earlier attack, caused a severe energy disorder in the Cave Heaven.

Most of the half-step great power’s energy was now focused on harmonizing the Cave Heaven energy, leaving no way to kill the outside cultivators.

Cultivator Dai Biao had just left the Yuzhu Islands on his flying boat when he encountered three familiar great cultivators returning not far away.

These three great cultivators belonged to the Yuzhu Islands and were unaware of the events. Their panicked expressions made Cultivator Dai Biao speculate on some possibilities.

"Are the three fellow returning to Yuzhu Island?" Cultivator Dai Biao leaped out of the flying boat, greeted them with a salute, and asked.

The three great cultivators recognized Cultivator Dai Biao, with whom they were acquainted; primarily, Cultivator Dai Biao’s sect was extremely powerful, so they deliberately made contacts.

Even though they were anxious, they stopped to greet Cultivator Dai Biao with a salute.

"Precisely!" one of the great cultivators replied bitterly.

"Did Yuzhu Island make an enemy of some cultivator?" Cultivator Dai Biao asked softly.

"What do you mean by that?" The great cultivator was slightly startled and, not understanding his intent, countered.

"Yuzhu Island was just attacked, and I saw you rushing back, so I specifically inquired!" Cultivator Dai Biao stated.

"What! Yuzhu Island was attacked? How serious is it?"

"It must be Li Shizhen!"

"We must return quickly!"

Upon hearing Cultivator Dai Biao’s words, the three great cultivators lost their composure and began speaking chaotically.

"You’d better go back and see for yourselves!" Cultivator Dai Biao did not know how to describe the loss of the Yuzhu Islands, so he replied.

The three great cultivators had no mind to stay and talk further, and they accelerated their flight towards the Yuzhu Islands.

Watching their departing figures, Cultivator Dai Biao shook his head slightly.

He already judged that the attacker of the Yuzhu Islands must be the sword cultivator Li Shizhen.

He was aware that these three great cultivators had accompanied Grandmaster Wu Ding in intercepting Li Shizhen, along with more than a dozen other great cultivators.

Now only these three great cultivators returned, making Cultivator Dai Biao feel a chill in his heart.

But when reminded of what Li Shizhen did to the Yuzhu Islands, slaying more than a dozen great cultivators seemed insignificant.

He was almost certain that the Yuzhu Islands would no longer have peaceful days and would likely be exterminated by some faction.

The three great cultivators flew full speed towards the Yuzhu Islands, with their minds set on wondering what troubles and losses the Yuzhu Islands encountered.

Just the thought that even Cultivator Dai Biao left the Yuzhu Islands at this time made them suspect that what happened was not small.

While pondering, a sword light appeared out of nowhere, piercing the leading great cultivator’s body.

From the suddenly appearing flying sword, the other two great cultivators sensed the familiar but frightening sword intent, the powerful sword intent of Li Shizhen, the primary reason they lost more than a dozen great cultivators instantly.

Before the two great cultivators could react, Li Shiming appeared behind one of them, and his Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation killed the cultivator.

The last great cultivator tried to use a lifesaving item, but the distance between him and Li Shiming was too close, and the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ shot from Li Shiming’s side; he was killed without even having time to activate his lifesaving item.

"Unlucky for you!" Li Shiming said lightly while looking at the three corpses.

He hadn’t expected while camping on the outskirts of the Yuzhu Islands, looking for a chance to strike at the Yuzhu Islands again, these three great cultivators would deliver themselves to him.

Though the time taken to deal with the three great cultivators was short, the commotion was considerable, attracting attention from the Yuzhu Islands’ direction.
