My Master Knows It All-Chapter 2198 - 466_2

"Twenty-three islands... Quick, let’s speed up." Cao Zhen watched Ling Xi but didn’t communicate with her, so he could still stay connected to Ling Xi.

He no longer let his disciples make a move. From then on, whenever they arrived at a place and saw non-human clans, he would instantly strike them down and then enter the light curtain as quickly as possible to head to the next island.

So far, Ling Xi had been lucky, encountering cultivators who wanted to coexist peacefully and move deeper to see if they could have any fortuitous encounters.

But who knows if Ling Xi might get unlucky, like when she entered an island alone and encountered those violent cultivators?

So it’s better to bring Ling Xi back first.

Under Cao Zhen’s full deployment, they quickly caught up with Ling Xi’s pace when entering the twenty-fifth island.

"Ling Xi, no need to split those monsters with them anymore. The corpses of those monsters are actually of little value. Just go to the light curtain directly."

Even when he researched those monster corpses, he didn’t find anything special or valuable, let alone other cultivators. The reason those cultivators divided the monster corpses was probably to keep them and leave them to the experts specialized in research within their clan to study, or just toss them into their Heaven and Earth Rings.

If one day, some cultivator discovered the purpose of these corpses, they could take them out for sale. If not, they would just continue to store them in the Heaven and Earth Rings since the rings are spacious enough.

Upon hearing her master’s voice, Ling Xi immediately moved. In a swift action, she flew to the front of the light curtain, her movement instantly drawing the attention of other cultivators.

Several cultivators immediately stopped dividing the strange beasts, looking over with full bewilderment.

"Venerable Ling Xi, what are you going to do?"

"Venerable Ling Xi, are you leaving?"

Ling Xi slightly nodded to everyone and said, "Yes, everyone, I won’t be joining you anymore." She had no reason to hide it; her departure affected these cultivators only as much as replacing one cultivator with another.

"Leaving?"

"Venerable Ling Xi, after you leave, joining another team might not guarantee meeting such peaceful cultivators as us. Your human cultivators are oppressed."

For a moment, the many cultivators here were puzzled as to why Ling Xi was leaving so suddenly. They weren’t very close to Ling Xi. They had known each other for less than a day and weren’t even from the same clan of cultivators, so their confusion was understandable.

Ling Xi didn’t offer any further explanation. Her master’s voice had already reached her mind.

"Enter!"

Upon hearing the command, Ling Xi wasted no time stepping into the light curtain. In a breath’s time, the figures of her master and others appeared in her line of sight.

"Master!" Ling Xi’s face lit up with joy, just as she was about to say something, a flash of light occurred on the island, and three figures appeared—two of them from the Beast Clan and one from the Human Clan.

Demonic Lord Qing Shi?

Cao Zhen looked at Demonic Lord Qing Shi who appeared on the island, a surprised expression on his face. Why was Demonic Lord Qing Shi here on this island?

With Demonic Lord Qing Shi’s combat strength, he should have made it far ahead by now. Why was he in such a rear position?

Demonic Lord Qing Shi also paused when he saw the seven human figures appear. Why were so many humans gathering in one place?

They...

No, these humans are from the Hundred Peaks Sect, including Cao Zhen and his disciples. The only one not from the Hundred Peaks Sect was Immortal Bi Yue, who is closely related to Cao Zhen.

Previously, she was the temporary sect hierarch of Wanxiao Sect in the Eastern Province, and the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, in the same cultivation realm, were extremely powerful. How could she not recognize them!

The mere gathering of seven humans was already shocking, though understandable if they just happened to meet with members of their own clan.

But the issue is, all seven people are connected to Cao Zhen, which is unusual. There’s no way she would believe these people just happened to gather purely by luck. Such coincidences don’t happen!

It must be Cao Zhen; they have some special way of getting together.

But the problem is, communication with the outside world within the island is impossible, and it’s unknown which island one enters through the light curtain. What method do they have for gathering together?

Could it be they discovered some pattern?

On the side, the two from the Beast Clan staring at the eight humans nearly went mad. Their strength wasn’t particularly strong, and they felt they were among the weaker cultivators entering the relic. Initially, their plan was to sneak in and see if there was any easy gain from the back.

It’s often the case that the greatest treasures of large relics are claimed by the most powerful cultivators, but they weren’t aiming for those great treasures anyway. Why couldn’t they settle for picking up other treasures?

Previously, there were weaker cultivators who, out of sheer luck, obtained treasures just slightly lesser than the greatest ones in a relic line, catapulting to great heights.
