The 569th Chapter Stone Flow Battle (1)

re just about finding materials and making them for Xianyao; it’s not difficult for him. Not only does he have plenty of resources in the Sky Gate, even before that, he prepared a lot of high-quality...Chapter 569: Battle of Stoneflow 1

This time, there wasn't much planning. The Third Miss South Palace had intelligence that the enemy was going to invade Stoneflow Kingdom, so she planned to enter Stoneflow Kingdom herself and control every move they made.

Then she made some arrangements, gradually eliminating these people on their way in. Here, she had all the advantages of time, location, and human resources. How could she not succeed Although her success came from her clever planning, it was also inevitable.

A defensive strategy has its own advantages, and this point is where the Third Miss South Palace maximized these advantages; otherwise, she wouldn't have such a significant edge.

It sounds simple when said like that, but the arrangements made by the Third Miss South Palace were numerous, almost flawless. It makes one marvel at how Stoneflow Kingdom, though it appears on the verge of collapse, can still prevent its opponents from making any moves and maintain an odd undefeated status.

This is also surprising to everyone; each time, they think Stoneflow Kingdom will fall, but each time it's resolved. This makes one understand the terrifying aspect of the Third Miss South Palace, who is widely talked about across the world at her peak.

This is why she became the most important person in present-day Stoneflow Kingdom; without her, Stoneflow Kingdom would've already fallen long ago, and while the Luo family wouldn't be exterminated, they'd certainly suffer great losses.

As for her and Lone Star and others, of course, there's nothing to worry about. They can leave at any time if needed, but they remain here only to enjoy themselves and also to hone themselves. These near-zero-win-rate wars are the greatest challenges in life, and such opportunities won't come again.

Lone Star and Miss Primogenitor along with South Palace Susu face the same greatest challenges, although not as shocking as those orchestrated by the Third Miss South Palace.

During this war that lasted over two years, Lone Star and her companions experienced numerous life-and-death situations and rapidly improved their strength. Especially Lone Star had already entered the Divine realm.

The previous high-level ambush operation was carried out just by these three individuals. With Miss South Palace's plan in coordination, they managed to eliminate a large portion of their opponents and even decapitated that seated divine expert. This is what one finds most unbelievable.

At the time, Lone Star hadn't yet reached the Divine realm; she was still at the peak Saint level, while Miss Primogenitor and Susu had just entered the peak Saint stage as well. In a single combat, they wouldn’t win, but combined, who knows Especially with Miss Primogenitor and Susu's joint techniques, even ordinary divine experts would stand a chance.

However, there wasn't only one divine expert at that time; others were involved too, so their position was still disadvantageous. That battle was quite arduous. If it weren’t for the life-saving pills given by Immortal Recluse, they might have been in grave danger.

Lone Star's breakthrough has a significant reason linked to this battle as well.

This time after completing her task, Lone Star returned to the Immortal Recluse Mansion and was preparing for seclusion cultivation while waiting for the next action. Meanwhile, Miss Primogenitor and South Palace Susu were still outside engaging in major counterattacks.

The current situation is no longer passive; there's give-and-take now, making it difficult to fathom this process and predict its outcome.

"Lone Star, you're back How did the task go" The Third Miss South Palace asked Lone Star.

"Successful." Lone Star replied succinctly.

"Then rest well; there's still a lot to do next…" said the Third Miss South Palace. Though Lone Star might be exhausted, she had many tasks for her and would like to send her out if possible right now.

But she didn't want to do that. Besides, it wasn’t necessary either. Although sending Lone Star could be better, others could also handle the task; it's just a matter of efficiency and results.

"Is there any news from him" Lone Star nodded and asked this question every time she returned, referring to Immortal Recluse, which the Third Miss South Palace understood implicitly.

"Not yet. Shall we go get him"

"No need; even if we can't hold on anymore, we'll just leave. Don't disturb his cultivation." Lone Star shook her head and said.

"I knew you'd say that. Alright, I'll inform you right away when he has news. Go rest assured," the Third Miss South Palace replied.

Of course she knows Lone Star's thoughts; in fact, this thought is also shared by Miss Primogenitor and her eldest sister. The three of them are determined to prevent anything from disturbing Immortal Recluse’s cultivation, even if they encounter major issues themselves.

They know that if it were Immortal Recluse, he would definitely do the same—let them cultivate while he solves problems alone so that they can focus on their training in peace.

This isn't something new; previously, Immortal Recluse always protected them. Now is his turn to be protected by them, which is why they don’t want anyone to disturb him during this time.

The Third Miss South Palace doesn't feel as strongly about it as Lone Star and the others do, but she also agrees with their actions; now's the time for them to solve problems and protect Immortal Recluse just like he used to do for them.

Even in case of any crisis or even if they fail this time around, they won't disturb Immortal Recluse’s cultivation, at most escaping. No one can stop them if they want to flee.

But it's surprising that Immortal Recluse’s cultivation session has lasted so long; something no one could have anticipated. When he had been cultivating for a year, everyone thought it was already too long, but this wasn't the final duration either. Another year passed without him emerging from seclusion. Three years went by, and still, there's no sign of him coming out.

Miss Primogenitor expressed her thoughts: Is this boy planning to stay in seclusion until he reaches the Divine realm

The Lady and Nan Gong Suxin also asked about Xianyao whenever they returned, just like Gu Xing did. However, they could only get information if Xianyao provided it to them.

Xianyao Sect didn’t let anyone wait outside for him. Even if he had left the sect, no one would know where he went until he was discovered somewhere else after leaving.

Gu Xing and her group didn’t station anyone outside because they believed that Xianyao would inform them when he came out. Xianyao’s messenger hawks could deliver messages to them.

The night Xianyao left his meditation chamber, he wrote a letter for the hawk to take back. Normally, it should only take one or two days for the hawk to arrive with the message, but what was strange was that the hawk hadn’t returned even after three days.

Were they very busy and had no time Or did something happen

Xianyao couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. However, he didn’t have time to worry about it; he should be the one who needed to be concerned as someone else had summoned him somewhere.

This happened shortly after Xianyao left the sect and before he could interact with anyone else. He was unaware of what had transpired in Liusha Kingdom, only that something significant had occurred, but the specifics were unknown to him.

When talking with Lang Tie Xin, they discussed matters about Xianyao and didn’t mention the situation in Liusha Kingdom. Xianyao hadn’t asked either, assuming he would soon receive a response from Gu Xing’s group. They could tell him directly what was happening.

Some things can be misrepresented through hearsay; at least there might be inaccuracies. Therefore, it made more sense to ask Gu Xing’s group instead.

The only thing he hadn’t expected was that the messenger hawk didn’t return...

At that time, on the road between Xianyao Sect and the nearest town, at a desolate spot where an ambush could easily take place, two people appeared to intercept his path.

"Boy, go with us."

Xianyao didn’t speak. He simply chose to follow them, sitting on their flying beast and flying away.

Did he know them

No, Xianyao had never seen these two people before.

Then why did Xianyao choose to follow them Simply because there was no way for him to change the outcome. There wasn’t a choice but to accept it.

Because both of these individuals were Divine Realm martial artists, and they seemed like high-level ones at that. Regardless if it’s one or two people, Xianyao had no other option but to follow them.

Xianyao didn’t know who he might have offended for this to happen the moment he left. Not only was a rare flying mount used, but also two high-level Divine Realm martial artists were dispatched.

It was clear that whoever it was had prepared beforehand; resistance would be futile. It made more sense to see what they wanted and who could afford such an elaborate operation.

"Boy, why didn’t you ask us why we’re taking you" One of the Divine Realm martial artists seemed curious since he wouldn't normally care but Xianyao’s reaction was too odd.

A normal person would at least question their fate in such a situation.

"Would you tell me if I asked"

...

The man fell silent. He knew that if Xianyao had questioned him earlier, he’d simply ignore it like now.

This went on for a long time as they traveled towards their destination. At this flying beast’s speed, in half a day, Xianyao estimated they would have flown over three thousand miles with the added weight of two people and one small monster. This was already quite fast.

"Fu Yun Sect"

When the two Divine Realm martial artists felt that their destination was near, Xianyao suddenly spoke those three words.

"How did you know we belong to Fu Yun Sect"

The pair was puzzled since they hadn’t mentioned anything about themselves. They weren’t wearing any identification as it wasn’t necessary at their level, nor did they carry anything affiliated with the sect.

Given that there were no identifying items, how could this boy know they belonged to Fu Yun Sect Even though they were nearing headquarters, one couldn't see it from here. Could he have identified it based on nearby scenery

If so, then this boy must have been here before or had studied the area thoroughly. (To be continued)are those permanently employed at the gambling house and some hired ones. Of course, there are also those who play purely for fun. The permanent employees usually have high skill levels and are stable...
