372 Sacrificial Array

“What do you want? The vanguard of the underwater beast cultivators has already attacked the island. According to the reports of our scouts, the million-strong army behind them will be here soon!” the old seagull clan leader walked out and stood in the middle of the confrontation as he said angrily.

The seagull clan leader’s voice was filled with sorrow and anger, and it echoed in the palace.

Wang Meng didn’t say anything. He took a few pills from his clansmen and sat down cross-legged in the hall to heal his injuries. The rogue human cultivators surrounded him to his left and right, forming a protective circle.

Lin Mu did not say anything. The tears on his face had dried up, but he stood tall and proud in the hall in front of Wang Meng, looking at the left protector behind him.

Since the clan leader did not speak, the members of the leopard clan naturally did not speak either.

Xiong Tian also retracted his spiritual energy and turned to look at the left protector with a questioning look.

The other clans standing at the entrance of the hall didn’t move either. They were still a little confused.

He had not recovered from the attack of the underwater demonic cultivator army and the changes in Floating Jade Palace.

The scene was very quiet.

“If we delay any longer, Floating Jade Island will really be finished!” the seagull clan’s leader stomped his feet in anger. His gaze swept past Lin Mu, Wang Meng, and Xiong Tian, and finally stopped on the left protector.

“Left protector, the king is not here now. You should be temporarily in charge of Floating Jade Island. Say something!” the Seagull clan leader looked at the left protector and asked.

“The ones attacking the island now should only be the vanguards of the underwater demonic cultivators. The snake and bear clans each led the other clans’ armies and entered the beach from the left and right. Anyone who enters the island will be killed.” The left protector seemed to be thinking about something and spoke after a long while.

“Yes!” the snake clan outside the hall and the bear clan inside the hall replied at the same time, and then hurriedly left.

The bear clan left at Xiong Tian’s signal.

“It’s best to defend for now. At least, we can protect Floating Jade Island for the time being. I’ll activate the Dao-protecting array now.” The clan leader of the seagull clan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and hurriedly left the hall, bringing with him a dozen other members of the seagull clan.

In the blink of an eye, the palace fell silent again.

In addition to the left protector, Xiong Tian, Lin Mu, and Wang Meng, who was recuperating, there were more than a dozen human cultivators and more than a dozen leopard clansmen.

“The leopard clan is the fastest on land. Now, the leopard clan is in charge of reporting the battle situation at the front. Any situation must be reported immediately without any delay!” the left protector spoke once more as she watched the figure gradually disappear.

In the face of the left protector’s order, the members of the leopard clan looked at each other and did not move. Instead, they looked at Lin Mu.

Although the left protector was in the highest position on the Floating Jade Island, in the hearts of the various clans on the island, he was still inferior to the clan leader.

Even though the left protector had given the order, no one from the leopard clan moved.

They were waiting for the clan leader’s orders.

Lin Mu did not say anything.

“The underwater demonic cultivator Army has already attacked. The matter between you and me will be settled later. If the Floating Jade Island can not be defended, I will do that thing you object to!” The left protector clearly understood the situation, and let out a long sigh as he admitted defeat.

That matter, of course, referred to surrender.

Lin Mu hesitated.

He wanted nothing more than to kill the left protector and avenge the right protector.

He was the one who raised the right protector.

The depth of their feelings was self-evident.

However, Lin Mu knew he was no match for the left protector with his cultivation alone.

Moreover, this matter concerned the safety of Floating Jade Island, which made him feel conflicted. He subconsciously looked behind him, wanting to ask for Wang Meng’s opinion.

“Let’s focus on the overall situation and defend the island first!” Wang Meng seemed to have noticed Lin Mu’s gaze. He slowly opened his eyes and nodded.

Right now, protecting Floating Jade Island was the most important thing.

Otherwise, if the Floating Jade Island was captured, hundreds of thousands of living beings would probably die tragically.

What was the difference if he didn’t take revenge when the time came?

“Do as the left protector says.” At the thought of this, Lin Mu no longer insisted and gave an order to his clansmen.

“Yes!” the members of the leopard clan replied in unison and immediately rushed out of the hall.

“Although I’ve already sent the snake and bear clans to fight the enemy, the leopard clan and the human clan should still deploy some men to patrol the entire island just in case. This is to prevent any fish from slipping through the net and to prevent the enemy from entering Floating Jade Island from other places.” At this moment, the left protector suddenly called out to the leopard clan cultivator.

The leopard clan accepted the order and left quickly.

The human cultivators looked at Wang Meng in unison.

Wang Meng naturally knew the meaning of the left protector’s actions. He wanted to divide the power of the two clans. However, this was not unreasonable at this critical moment, so he could only nod in agreement.

Unlike the leopard clan, the human cultivators did not leave on their own. Instead, they helped Wang Meng up and walked out of the hall.

Wang Meng did not object, and the left protector, Xiong Tian, and Lin Mu did not stop him.

“Since Lord Protector wants our two clans to join forces to protect the island, why don’t you leave with me and we can discuss countermeasures later?” Wang Meng, who was supported by a human rogue cultivator, suddenly stopped at the entrance of the palace and turned back to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu did not expect Wang Meng to say that.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

He thought about how Wang Meng and the humans had left, leaving him, the left protector, and Xiong Tian in the hall. The consequences were self-evident.

Lin Mu couldn’t help but shiver. He quickly picked up the right protector’s body and walked toward Wang Meng.

“Better this way!”

Neither the left protector nor Xiong Tian expressed their opinions on this.

He just quietly watched Lin Mu hold the right protector’s body until they completely left the hall.

A smile appeared on Wang Meng’s pale face. He looked past Lin Mu and at the left protector behind him. Then, he quickly retracted his gaze and turned to walk out of the hall.

“Left protector, the human clan is willing to sacrifice itself in times of life and death. However, you must be careful if you intend to harm us for your own benefit!” A cold voice, with a strong sense of warning, came from outside the hall and echoed throughout the entire Floating Jade Palace.

“Lord left protector, are we really going to let them go? What about the underwater Beast cultivators?” Xiong Tian cupped his hands and asked the left protector.

“I know what I’m doing with the underwater Beast cultivators. On the other hand, Wang Meng and Lin Mu are not easy to deal with,” The left protector said indifferently as she looked out of the hall.

“With protector’s strength, you can just kill them directly.” Xiong Tian said.

“It’s very easy to kill them, but the humans and leopards will go on a rampage. I’m afraid the other clans will be terrified and not meet the requirements of the Lord. We need fresh lives as sacrifices.” The left protector said indifferently.

“Let them jump around for a while. They won’t live for long anyway. You go and check the sacrificial array!” The left protector continued,

“Yes! I’ll go now.” Xiong Tian walked into the depths of the hall, leaving the left protector behind.

Looking at the Floating Jade Palace, the left protector’s face was filled with sorrow and even twitched slightly.

“How do you feel when you return to Floating Jade Island and find out the island you’ve been managing for hundreds of years has become a dead island?”

A slightly sinister voice reverberated in the empty Floating Jade Palace.
