Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 524 - 528: Do You Even Know How Much Trouble You’ve Caused?
Just as we emerged from the Inverted Mountain, a terrifying wave came crashing toward us.
This wave soared up to several hundred meters and rushed forward like a massive wall.
"Be careful, Young Master!"
In an instant, Huang Siyu darted in front of Wang Junze, swiftly expanding her Path Domain to fend off the impact of the wave.
Yet, before the wave could hit, the Maiden of the Sea stepped forward, holding her Trident, and with a gentle wave, she split the wave apart.
"Qu Lishang is fighting the whale, at least ten or more miles from here."
Judging by the force of the waves, the Maiden of the Sea easily pinpointed the location of the battle, as only a fight between Saint Realm powerhouses would cause such a disturbance in the Nether Sea.
"Move in the opposite direction to avoid them!"
After a brief thought, Wang Junze quickly issued the order: "Maiden of the Sea, contact Pei Haoran to spread the news in Netherworld City that the Night Spirit Demon Venerable is dead. Find a way to stir chaos in Netherworld City."
"I’ll steer the Netherworld Flying Ship. Brother Yang, Miss Huang, take the Rebirth Pill to heal your injuries."
Among them, only Wang Junze couldn’t recover from his injuries, so he volunteered to pilot the Netherworld Flying Ship, giving others time to recuperate.
Under such circumstances, no one uttered a word of courtesy, and they promptly agreed.
Moments later, they boarded the Netherworld Flying Ship and hurried back.
"The message has been relayed. If all goes well... by the time we return to Netherworld City, it should already be in chaos. However, if we want to seize control of Netherworld City, we’ll have to storm the Netherworld Mansion directly."
Raising her head, the Maiden of the Sea looked at Wang Junze and said in a serious tone, "Don’t underestimate the Netherworld Mansion. Even without the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, there are still plenty of experts, especially in the current scenario... I fear that our strength is insufficient; we must seek reinforcements."
Leaving aside other factors, Wang Junze and his group have actually suffered severe damage to their strength.
Wang Junze couldn’t fight anymore, and even if Yang Hong could recover, without the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his power would significantly diminish, making it difficult to contend with Path-Entering powerhouses.
Strictly speaking, the strongest force might well be Huang Siyu, the Path-Entering powerhouse.
Of course, bound by the Blood Covenant, coupled with Qu Lishang’s deterrence, Huang Siyu wouldn’t dare to betray, but with just that level of strength, attempting to conquer the Netherworld Mansion is likely far from enough.
After a slight pause in thought, Wang Junze understood the Maiden of the Sea’s intent and said, "Are you suggesting I seek help from the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"
Wang Junze had never been an isolated figure; the Profound Moon Sword Sect was his backing. Although the sect had indeed suffered a significant loss recently, it was still one of the Four Great Celestial Sects!
Moreover, Wang Junze’s plan was for the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Xuankong Temple, and the Demon Cultivators to jointly rule over the Nether Sea.
Thus, asking the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect for help naturally seemed appropriate.
"More preparation is always beneficial."
The Maiden of the Sea replied softly, "Even in three-way cooperation, there has to be a hierarchy... If you want to obtain dominance, you need to prepare more."
After a moment of silence, Wang Junze eventually shook his head: "I don’t have a way to contact the sect directly, so I’ll rely on myself for now."
The statement was half-true.
It was true that Wang Junze lacked a direct way to contact the sect, and it was also true that he didn’t want the Profound Moon Sword Sect to be involved so early.
The current chaos in the Nether Sea posed uncertainty for both Wang Junze and Li Shang Sword Venerable, as neither side could guarantee victory. Hastily involving the Profound Moon Sword Sect would only burden the sect.
After all, the Profound Moon Sword Sect currently lacked any Saint Realm powerhouses.
The Northern Domain battle had already resulted in heavy losses, and if they ventured into the Nether Sea conflict and lost... the Profound Moon Sword Sect might truly vanish from the names of the Four Great Celestial Sects.
With a sigh, the Maiden of the Sea decided not to push the topic further and dropped it.
...
Netherworld City!
Upon receiving the Maiden of the Sea’s message, Pei Haoran felt extremely euphoric.
He had dared not venture to the Netherworld Abyss, for compared to Wang Junze and his companions, Pei Haoran’s strength was considerably weaker. However, his heart had hung in suspense until he received the news, finally becoming entirely exhilarated.
Such audacity!
Since meeting Wang Junze, every operation had caused a big stir, and this time, it seemed they were about to overturn the heavens of the Nether Sea.
But of course, for Pei Haoran, this was also a bold gamble!
After all, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable hadn’t yet perished, and should Qu Lishang lose, rashly getting involved would spell disaster for him and the Four Seas Commerce Association!
Pei Haoran instinctively paced back and forth in the room, his face gradually becoming somewhat sinister.
"Little Si!"
No one knew how much time passed before Pei Haoran suddenly called out loudly.
Soon after, a young attendant walked briskly into the room from outside: "Young Master, you called?"
"Pass the word, mobilize everyone in the commerce association, and spare no expense to spread the message that... Night Spirit Demon Venerable has been slayed by Li Shang Sword Venerable in the Nether Sea!"
"Also, immediately deploy all the experts in the commerce association to prepare for an assault on the Netherworld Mansion!"
"!!!"
...
Half a day passed swiftly.
The foothold Wang Junze chose remained Mirage Island.
With manpower lacking, he needed to persuade the Mirage Dragon to join them in aiding Netherworld City, and the characteristics of Mirage Qi ensured that the Mirage Dragon could exert a far more terrifying effect against Low-tier Cultivators than even Path-Entering powerhouses.
Moreover, the Mirage Dragon belonged to the Demon Race, so persuading it might also uncover some information about the Demon Race.
If they could mobilize a portion of the Demon Race’s power, that would be even better.
After all, although Wang Junze intended to occupy the Nether Sea, he didn’t aim for a life-and-death struggle with the Demon Race. In the Nether Sea, no one could ultimately expel the Demon Race!
To exaggerate a bit, the true masters here had always been the endless Demon Race in the ocean, not the Demon Cultivators.
"You’re still alive?"
Sensing Wang Junze and his group’s presence, the Mirage Dragon immediately flew out from the Mirage Forest, looking incredulously at them.
"Were you hoping for my demise?"
Rolling his eyes, Wang Junze responded in a surly tone, "Brother Yang and Miss Huang haven’t recovered yet, so we’ll be staying here for a while."
"...Can I refuse?"
Blinking its eyes, the Mirage Dragon asked with a hint of frustration.
"Do you know how much trouble you’ve stirred? The entire Nether Sea has been alerted... Just from what I know, at least three Demon Kings are already heading to the Netherworld Abyss."
"..."
