Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Searching for the Wood Dragon Pearl!

The Fang Family was preparing to celebrate with great fanfare.

But at that very moment, a piece of news arrived, and the expressions of the Fang Family members changed in an instant.

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Elder Fang Cangsong, how could they possibly have been defeated!"

"What a joke! This must be fake news!"

Upon receiving the news, the Fang Clan Leader was also dumbfounded. What? All the people our family sent were annihilated! What kind of joke is this? Quick, go find out what happened! He simply couldn’t believe it. In his view, the lineup the Fang Family had dispatched this time was exceptionally formidable. Two Grandmasters, leading a group of other experts, were like an army of thousands. Annihilating a single Ye Family should have been as easy as flipping a hand.

But soon, more news arrived: the Ye Family was safe and sound, while all of the Fang Family’s forces had perished.

How could this have happened?

The Fang Clan Leader was devastated. Everyone in the Fang Family was stunned, and the entire estate fell into a deathly silence.

「Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.」

A great battle was currently underway. The members of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion were fighting against the Wu Family. The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion Master roared, "Wu Family, leave immediately, or don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Not long ago, the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion Master had received a message from Lin Xuan and immediately set out for the Ye Family. However, they had just begun to move when they were intercepted by the Wu Family. The Wu Family was also a first-rate power, their strength no less than the Pavilion’s. The people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion were finding it difficult to break away, which made them furious.

The members of the Wu Family laughed heartily. "You’re not going anywhere today."

The two sides were evenly matched.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the distance, and the entire world seemed to tremble violently.

What’s going on?

The battling parties all stopped, looking toward the horizon with shocked uncertainty. They discovered that the distant sky was dyed blood-red. An overwhelming, bloodthirsty aura washed over them, coming from the direction of the Ye Family.

The Wu Family members burst out laughing.

"It’s done! It looks like the Fang Family succeeded."

"The Ye Family has been wiped from existence!"

How could this be? The people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion were stunned. Has the Ye Family fallen? What about our Young Master? He has to be okay!

The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion Master’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the Wu Family. He snarled through gritted teeth, "If anything has happened to the Young Master, my feud with the Wu Family will be to the death."

The members of the Wu Family just sneered, completely unfazed. Their strength was no weaker than that of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

But at that moment, a Wu Family elder rushed over from afar, his face filled with terror. "Clan Leader, we have to go, now!"

The Wu Clan Leader laughed. "What is it? Is the Fang Family calling us over to divide the spoils of the Ye Family?"

The elder’s face was a mask of terror as he shook his head frantically.

The Wu Clan Leader was stunned. "What’s wrong? Isn’t the Fang Family summoning us?"

Wiping sweat from his brow, the elder stammered, "The Fang Family’s forces... they’ve been annihilated!"

"What?"

The Wu Clan Leader froze. The rest of the Wu Family froze as well.

What does he mean, annihilated?

The man clarified, "Everyone the Fang Family sent to attack the Ye Family is dead!"

The Wu Clan Leader’s eyes went wide, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet.

On the other side, the members of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion erupted in joyous laughter. "Excellent! The Young Master is safe!"

「Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.」

Bai Qianqian had just finished dealing with matters at the tower when she learned that the Ye Family was in danger. She immediately assembled a team from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower to go and provide support, but she was stopped by the Tower Master.

The Tower Master said, "Qian Qian, don’t go. The Ye Family is finished. If you go, you’ll just be throwing your life away."

Bai Qianqian’s eyes were red. "Move aside! I’m going to save Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan is still at the Ye Family!"

The Tower Master sighed. "I’m afraid Young Master Lin has also been annihilated."

"Impossible!" Bai Qianqian shook her head frantically, unable to accept it. "Lin Xuan won’t die! I don’t believe it!" In the end, she broke down crying.

Just then, a message arrived. "The Ye Family is safe and sound. The Fang Family’s forces have been annihilated."

"What?" The Tower Master froze on the spot.

Bai Qianqian broke into a smile through her tears. "Wonderful! I knew Lin Xuan was one of the chosen. How could he die so easily? He’s safe. This is wonderful news!"

This news spread across Dragon Island like a hurricane, leaving everyone in a state of shock. It was too shocking, too unbelievable, too heaven-defying!

People from all over immediately set out for the Ye Family.

The Ye Family’s crisis was resolved, and the residence became lively once more as members of various clans and sects arrived one after another. They had all come to pay their respects to Lin Xuan.

Clan Leader Ye invited everyone into the main hall and announced, "Lin Xuan is currently in seclusion to recover, so I’m afraid he won’t have time to meet with everyone."

The crowd sighed with disappointment, but no one dared to voice any dissatisfaction. After all, the Ye Family possessed an incredibly fearsome Treasure Tower capable of suppressing everything. No one dared to act recklessly on their territory.

Deep within the Ye Family estate, a courtyard was just as lively. Lin Xuan, Ye Qingwu, Bai Qianqian, and Fairy Yunxi were all gathered together. Bai Qianqian and Fairy Yunxi eagerly asked about what had transpired. Ye Qingwu recounted the events with animated gestures, with Lin Xuan occasionally adding a few details. Bai Qianqian listened in constant awe. The group drank and chatted, their spirits high.

「A few days later.」

Lin Xuan quietly left the Ye Family. He was preparing to search for the Wood Spirit Pearl.

「Meanwhile, on another part of Dragon Island.」

A lone figure was silently healing his wounds. This person was none other than Fang Cangsong. He hadn’t died. That day, when the Ancient Trial Tower descended, the situation had been extremely perilous. However, he had a Water Dragon Pearl in his possession. Relying on its power, he had managed to survive, but he was still grievously injured.

Every other clansman who went with him had been obliterated. The thought sent Fang Cangsong into a rage.

Damn it! This was all because of that Lin Xuan! I will not let him get away with this!

He secretly monitored Lin Xuan and discovered that a few days later, Lin Xuan had left the Ye Family and was quickly heading toward a certain part of Dragon Island. Soon, he arrived at a vast forest and ventured deep into it. The trees in this forest were towering, like something from a primeval age.

When Fang Cangsong caught up, he didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, his injuries were still severe. What is this boy trying to do? Suddenly, a thought struck him. This kid has the clue to the Wood Spirit Pearl! Is he here to find it? Damn it! If he really gets the Wood Spirit Pearl, his strength will soar. No, I absolutely cannot let that happen.

Fang Cangsong gritted his teeth. He couldn’t make a move himself, but he could spread the news and let others do the dirty work. In any case, he would not allow that boy to obtain the Wood Spirit Pearl.

Soon, Fang Cangsong’s news spread throughout Dragon Island. The entire island learned of the Wood Dragon Pearl, causing a massive uproar.

"The legendary Dragon Pearl has actually appeared?"

They knew they had to get it. Not only were the young disciples excited, but even the old Grandmasters were incredibly tempted.

Soon, Fang Cangsong also leaked the Wood Spirit Pearl’s location.

"What? It’s in the Ten Thousand Woods!"

The people of Dragon Island were in a frenzy, and they all headed there in droves.

Within the Ten Thousand Woods, Lin Xuan reached the depths of the forest and stopped. According to the clue, the Wood Dragon Pearl should be here. However, after searching the area, he couldn’t find its specific location.

He asked the Earth Dragon, "Can you sense it?"

The Earth Dragon replied, "The sensation is very faint. It feels like it’s right in front of us."

Right in front of us? But there’s nothing here. Lin Xuan frowned.

At this time, the big black dog spoke up. "There must be a hidden space here. Perhaps a small secret realm or an ancient relic. The Wood Dragon Pearl is likely within that space. We have to find the entrance."

A separate space. Lin Xuan squinted.

He was about to begin his search when roaring sounds came from the distance. Streaks of light flew in from all directions, landing throughout the Ten Thousand Woods. Along with them came powerful auras and the countless surprised exclamations of the newcomers. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

What’s going on? Why are so many people here? Lin Xuan frowned.

Just then, people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion arrived. The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion Master explained, "Young Master, just a short while ago, someone released news about the Wood Dragon Pearl. They even gave its location as the Ten Thousand Woods. All these people are here for it."

Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed tightly. How is this possible? I only knew the Wood Dragon Pearl was in the Ten Thousand Woods because of the clue. Besides me, who else could possibly know? How did these people find out?

"There is one other person who knows," the big black dog said. "Fang Cangsong. After all, you snatched this clue from him."

Lin Xuan was taken aback. "Wasn’t that guy killed? The Ancient Trial Tower crushed so many Fang Family experts. It’s impossible for him to have survived."

"Under normal circumstances, he would be dead for sure," the dog said. "But if he was in control of the Water Dragon Pearl, that’s a different story. He must have used it to survive."

So that’s how it is! Lin Xuan’s face darkened. This Fang Cangsong must have been severely injured, otherwise he would have attacked me directly. Now that he can’t act, he called in other experts. How despicable.

The big black dog chuckled. "No matter. There’s a mysterious space here, and it’s unclear how dangerous it is inside. It’s the perfect opportunity to let others scout ahead. Once the Wood Spirit Pearl is found, with your skills and trump cards, you’ll definitely be able to overpower the crowd and obtain the Wood Spirit Pearl."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded and smiled. The dog was right.

Then let the others scout the path. I can just reap the rewards afterward.
