The Attack of the Wastrel

“You’re right, I won’t spare a single one of you!”

A clear but familiar voice rang from behind.

Rong Huachang’s heart jumped and everyone who heard Gu Lingzhi’s voice turned around. That voice...

“Lingzhi!”

Rong Huachang stared in disbelief as Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan flew towards her, her eyes instantly turned watery.

“That’s great! I knew that you guys would be fine!” Pan Yue cheered with joy.

Even after Pan Luo’s killing spree, the Spirit Tribe still had descendants. How would they perish just because Gu Lingzhi dropped into the Endless Sea Realm? Ye Fei would finally forgive him and end her cold war with him right?

“Lingzhi...” Yan Liang also welled up with tears as he stared at Gu Lingzhi’s familiar figure. He had thought that five hundred years was long enough to make him forget her but he was wrong.

“How could this be? How could you still be alive?” Pan Yue’er stared at Gu Lingzhi in utter disbelief. In the next instant, her face lit up, “Yes! Yes, it is good that you are alive! The Grandmaster would be very pleased!”

“I am also very happy to see you.” Gu Lingzhi's eyes curved into a smile. She was overjoyed to encounter her enemy right when she returned to the Xia Kingdom?

“Go, kill everyone who is not poisoned yet. We must let them know that the Alliance isn’t a force to be looked down upon!”

“Yes, Little Chancellor!”

Following Gu Lingzhi’s command, the few hundred people that Gu Lingzhi brought with her flew towards the ground. This was the point that everyone realized that Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan did not come alone.

As everyone stared at the group of a few hundred men, they wondered with awe. These people were all... Martial Sages?

This must be fake! How could there be so many Martial Sages?

Even during the most flourishing times of the Tianyuan Continent, there were not so many Martial Sages. Not to mention the devastation brought about by the war, the numbers of high-ranked Martial Sages were reduced greatly and there could not be more than a hundred Martial Sages still alive in Tianyuan Continent.

This startled everyone and they could not believe that the few hundred men that arrived were all Martial Sages!

However, these Martial Sages flew at lightning speed all around the ground and they quickly gelled themselves into the battle. This changed the entire scene of the battle as one by one, the soldiers of the Empire fell to the ground without a chance for a fight.

Those troops from the Alliance who were still conscious could not believe it when even Martial Sages of the Empire were killed so easily!

Were they really Martial Sages if they could kill other Martial Sages so easily? An uncomfortable guess started to form in their minds.

“You...you guys...” Pan Yue’er started to become anxious. Before she could give the order for the Empire troops to retreat, a man blocked her path.

“You must be Pan Yue’er who Gu Lingzhi accused of causing her to drop into the Endless Sea Realm right? I am Chu Jiang. Do you mind if I take revenge for her?”

However, regardless of what Pan Yue’er thought, Chu Jiang was not going to let her off. Before anyone could react, Chu Jiang dashed forward for his prey.

Wei Lingshu who was one step late could only sigh in dismay.

The group had used the strength of fifty Demigods the previous day to activate the Teleportation Spell to return back to the Tianyuan Continent. All the Martial Artists were filled with excitement and anticipation at arriving at the continent. However, they had to head out to battle instantly when they found out that the Alliance was in trouble.

Pan Yue’er seemed to be the strongest person in the entire battlefield and she was a perfect person to test their strength. However, Chu Jiang settled her quickly and Wei Lingshu was left with the Demigod who fought against Mei Ying and Su Ruo for his opponent. He chuckled and politely said, “Please take a rest and leave this guy to me.”

What a plan!

Others who missed out on fighting against the next toughest opponent in the battle cursed under their breaths. Exchanging looks, they scoured the battlefield for other opponents they could fight.

Of course, before they fought, they clarified who was on which side of the battle. The troops from the Alliance politely pointed out who their enemies were.

Rong Huachang observed everything with bulging eyes and she finally seemed to regain her consciousness after half a day. She pointed at Chu Jiang and the others and stammered, “They, they are...”

“They are all Demigods.” Gu LIngzhi completed her sentence. Taking in a deep breath she stepped forward to hug Rong Huachang, “Grand-aunt, I am sorry for making you worry for all these years.”

Rong Huachang’s eyes turned red and tears brimmed in her eyes as she cried, “Since you knew that I was worried, why didn’t you come back earlier?”

Gu Lingzhi playfully stuck out her tongue, “But I’m here now, aren’t I?”

Gu Lingzhi pulled out of the embrace and led Rong Huachang to Lin Chongyuan and Tang Xiao, introducing, “Grand-aunt, these are my grandparents.” Gu Lingzhi added, “My real grandparents!”

Rong Huachang was speechless. Since when did Gu Lingzhi have grandparents?

Staring at Rong Huachan’s shocked face, Gu Lingzhi laughed and briefly explained what happened in the Lost Lands to Rong Huachang. Rong Huachang took in all this information with surprise and she stared curiously at Lin Chongyuan and Tang Xiao.

If Gu Lingzhi was a Spirit Tribe member, then her grandparents would be Spirit Tribe members as well. Gu Lingzhi had mentioned that her grandfather was trapped in the Lost Lands for various reasons and he only managed to leave that place today. If that was the case...was everyone here Spirit Tribesmen? 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

No wonder there could be so many Demigods and Martial Sages. The Spirit Tribe was a perfect tribe where everyone could awaken every type of Spiritual Roots. In the ancient times, half the True Gods that existed in the Tianyuan Continent were from the Spirit Tribe.

“Lingzhi, I finally get to see you again!” Gu Lingzhi turned around and a small figure rushed into her arms. Gu Lingzhi patted Qin Xinran’s back and smiled warmly. Behind her, Tianfeng Jin, Yan Liang and her other friends ran forward, “Yes, I finally get to see you guys again.”

Who could imagine that someone who dropped into the Endless Sea Realm could survive?

Before she met Lin Chongyuan, she had not been too confident about leaving the Lost Lands. She did not think that this day would come.

“It is good that you are back.” Mei Ying repeated and his eyes filled with tears of emotion. Wiping his face, he anxiously asked, “Lingzhi, do you have any good Spiritual Medicine? Please take a look at Elder Zhong, he might not make it!”

Gu Lingzhi jumped in shock, “Elder Zhong? Who is that?”

“It is that old man, Zhong Xiru!” Mei Ying jumped to his feet and dragged Gu Lingzhi over to Zhong Xiru without a second thought.

Thankfully, Jiang Hui had not pierced Zhong Xiru’s heart with his long sword and this left Zhong Xiru barely holding onto his life. However, if he was not saved in time, he would die within half an hour.

Gu Lingzhi shoved a Spiritual Medicine down Zhong Xiru’s throat and immediately, she frowned when she examined his wound.

“How is he? Can he be saved? Please talk!’ Mei Ying anxiously begged Gu Lingzhi. His heart dropped when he saw Gu Lingzhi’s expression and he thought that he would lose his friend.

Gu Lingzhi took a closer look at Zhong Xiru’s wound and once she was sure of her diagnosis, she lowered her gaze and said, “Senior Zhong’s spiritual acupoints have been destroyed. He is saved, but he can not cultivate in the future.”

After a moment of silence, Mei Ying laughed, “It is fine if he cannot cultivate anymore, as long as he is still alive.”

At this point, Zhong Xiru slowly began to regain his consciousness and he overheard Gu Lingzhi’s conversation with Mei Ying. He smiled with sadness “That is right, I am glad I am alive. I can still impart my skills to others.”

Death was nothing for Zhong Xiru but he was afraid that he would not be able to pass down his skills to anyone given what happened to Jiang Hui. He had to find another successor.

The battle slowly came to a close.

The Spirit Tribesmen had dominated the battle and overpowered the Empire troops with ease. Pan Yue’er’s final attempt to escape back to North Qiu after the favour of the battle changed was destroyed when Chu Jiang pulled her out of the Teleportation Spell’s radius of control.

“Let go of me! Do you know who I am? I work for the Deity King! Do you think you can escape from his power?”

As soon as Pan Yue’er mentioned Pan Luo, everyone whipped around and glared at her. The hatred directed towards her in all their eyes made a cold shiver travel down her spine.

“The Deity King? If that is the case, you must be from the Pan Family.” The Spirit Tribesmen had protected the camp and fought in the battle because of Gu Lingzhi’s orders. However, the moment Pan Yue’er mentioned the Pan Family, the Spirit Tribesmen instantly recalled their enemy.

From what their ancestors had passed down to them, the Spirit Tribe was annihilated by Pan Luo. Now, the descendants of Pan Luo are still trying to hunt them down, there was no way they were going to let them off.

Pan Yue’er observed that everyone around her were frozen to their spots and she waved the Immortal Spiritual Sword and proudly announced, “Since you know that, aren’t you going to let me go? If even a hair on me is harmed, the Deity King would not let you off!”

Chu Jiang scoffed sarcastically, “What is he going to do to us? This?”

With that, Chu Jiang raised his sword and cut off Pan Yue’er’s limbs.

“Ah! How could you do that?” Pan Yue’er had never imagined that Chu Jiang would so mercilessly cut off her arm and she glared at him with horror while clutching her shoulder tightly.

“You’re absolutely disgusting.” Chu Jiang frowned and he used the back of his sword to knock Pan Yue’er unconscious with a decisive move. He turned towards the crowd, “She must not be the only one from the Pan Family here. Let us gather all the Pan Family members together. When we head to the North Qiu Kingdom a few days later, we shall not spare them any mercy as well.”

Gu Lingzhi observed the pure hatred in Chu Jiang’s eyes and she began to pity the Pan Family members. The anger the Spirit Tribe members felt had been suppressed for a few thousand years. Pan Yue’er dug her own grave by mentioning her family!

Yet, before Chu Jiang could finish his order, all the Spirit Tribe members had started to take action. They forced the Empire troops to tell them who were from the Pan Family.

Those not from the Pan Family were killed instantly and the Pan Family members were thrown and gathered together like prey.

Seven days later, Pan Luming was still waiting for the good news from Pan Yue’er’s battle. However, what he received was ten body parts of Pan Yue’er, her head being the only recognizable feature that informed him of her identity.
