Chapter 362: Chapter 360: Surprise Attack
If it were in the past, Ning Daoran would naturally decline the matter without hesitation, but this time it’s different. The Southern Heaven Palace’s action must be targeting the Three Liuhua Islands, and Ning Daoran has actually already been involved by conveying a message last time. Moreover, as a Golden Core Cultivator of the Chaotic Sect wandering outside, it’s only right for him to earn some military achievements and accumulate positive reputation for the Chaotic Sect.
“Okay.”
Ning Daoran straightened his clothes and walked out of the Cave Mansion, saying, “Fellow Daoist Chen, I am willing to participate in this action.”
“Very good!”
Chen Liang was overjoyed and said, “Since that’s the case, I ask that Fellow Daoist Ning come immediately with me to the top level of the Southern Heaven Palace. The planning for the operation is about to commence, and as a Golden Core Mid-stage Practitioner of Xia Country, Fellow Daoist Ning, you are qualified to attend the meeting.”
…
The two of them transformed into beams of tunneling light and ascended, arriving at the Southern Heaven Palace before long. After crossing several star platforms, they entered a tightly secured council hall.
At that moment, already many cultivators were seated around the layered, oval conference table inside the council hall, including some who were Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Hm?”
At the head of the meeting, Lin Tiannan, in a long robe, frowned and glanced at Ning Daoran who had just flown in. He hadn’t expected that the Array Master, who hardly ever left his home, would also be willing to participate in this surprise attack.
Beside Lin Tiannan was a grey-robed old man, radiating with the aura of a Nascent Soul Early Stage.
He gave a slight start, seemingly recognizing the person.

“Young Friend Ning?”
“Ah?”
Ning Daoran was also taken aback, quickly deducing the identity from the other’s aura, and said, “Senior Du’e, True Monarch?”
“Hahaha, indeed it is I!”
True Monarch Du’e, stroking his beard, laughed and said, “I did not expect that after parting at Nanli Island in the Tianluo Sea, we would meet here in Kunpeng Immortal City.”
Ning Daoran respectfully cupped his fists in a salute and transmitted his voice, “How come Senior found his way to Kunpeng Immortal City as well?”
“Alas…”
True Monarch Du’e said, “After cultivating for a hundred years in the Tianluo Sea, I still couldn’t break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, so I had no choice but to come out for a walk. Coincidentally, Fellow Daoist Lin Tiannan is an old friend of mine, and upon his invitation, I decided to make a move and give those Sangyu Country thieves a taste of their own medicine!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Ning Daoran said with a smile, “It would be a delight to fight shoulder to shoulder with Senior Du’e!”
“Good!”
True Monarch Du’e nodded with a smile, then asked, “Did that girl Lin Man not come with you?”
“No, Talisman Master Lin parted ways with me decades ago.”
“Oh…”
True Monarch Du’e seemed to have noticed something and did not inquire further.
Subsequently, Ning Daoran was guided by Chen Liang to take a seat in the outermost row, among other Golden Core Mid-stage Practitioners. Although everyone was a Sect Master, Ancestor, or Great Power outside, in this small council hall, they could only sit on the outside, while the inner rows were occupied by some Nascent Soul and Late-stage Golden Core Practitioners.
However, there were less than thirty people in attendance, so anyone who could appear here held a truly extraordinary position in Xia Country’s Cultivation World.
“Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone is here, I think we should begin.”
Lin Tiannan lightly tapped on the compass on the table, and instantly a large map rose from the center. This was a type of projecting Refining Treasure with a very strong sense of design.
“As you all know, the Three Liuhua Islands are Sangyu Country’s springboard for attacking our Xia Country. The islands were occupied by Sangyu Country from the beginning of the border wars, and now they have deployed heavy weapons on the islands and are about to launch an attack on Kunpeng Immortal City. Therefore, I, Lin, believe that instead of being passive, we should take the initiative to launch a surprise attack, catching those Sangyu Country thieves off-guard!
Currently, we have thoroughly understood the distribution of cultivator strength on the Three Liuhua Islands. On Liuhua Island, there are only No-Action True Monarch and Canglan Monarch, two great Nascent Souls, overseeing it. My opinion is to focus our strength on attacking Liuhua Island. If we can kill any one of the two great Nascent Souls, it will be enough to force Sangyu Country to retreat, and we can also take the opportunity to recapture the Three Liuhua Islands, relieving Kunpeng Immortal City’s immediate crisis!”
“What the Palace Master said is absolutely right!”
An elder Golden Core Late Stage practitioner said in a deep voice, “Those Sangyu Country thieves have occupied the Liuhua Islands for so long, they really think the islands are their Sangyu Country territory now, it’s truly hateful!”
Lin Tiannan continued, “The key to this battle is the element of surprise. If you all agree with this proposal, we should set off at once, catching Liuhua Island unprepared. As for the other cultivators, they will take action after our departure to avoid alerting Sangyu Country’s spies.”
“Good!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ning Daoran had no objections. He felt that he was now frighteningly strong, which was just right for testing himself in a fight.
“That’s excellent!”
Lin Tiannan stood up and laughed, “Fellow Daoist Du E has cultivated the Sleeve Universe Technique, which can bring forth an entire Heaven and Earth. We’ll hide inside the Sleeve Universe, and launch a stealth attack on the Liuhua Island!”
“Yes, Palace Master!”
Everyone showed an excited expression.
Ning Daoran also felt moved. At this moment, he sensed the leadership charisma emanating from Lin Tiannan. Indeed, he was a Great Cultivator who could stand on his own, both in terms of cultivation and personal reputation, capable of leading the charge.
…
“Ladies and gentlemen, enter the Sleeve Universe!”
True Monarch Du’e flicked his sleeve, and it suddenly expanded rapidly, eventually turning into a black hole, which not only absorbed everyone but True Monarch Du’e himself also flew into the black hole.
The next moment, True Monarch Du’e controlled the incantation, and instantly, everyone, along with the murky black hole, left Kunpeng Immortal City.
Ning Daoran frowned, as his Divine Sense was currently unable to probe the outside world, but the Sleeve Universe was indeed miraculous; everyone could still see through the foggy veil to the blurry world outside and even made out the scene of leaving Kunpeng Immortal City and flying into the Wuwan Sea clearly.
Before long, in the deep part of the Wuwan Sea, their location neared the legendary Three Liuhua Islands.
A group of Golden Core cultivators had mixed feelings, excited yet apprehensive.
Only two Nascent Soul cultivators were very calm. True Monarch Du’e was an Early Stage Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator who had seen all kinds of grand scenes and had numerous methods at his disposal. Even if he faced a Mid Stage Nascent Soul, he might not be at a disadvantage and could always escape if he couldn’t win the fight.
As for Lin Tiannan, the look in his eyes as he gazed into the distance was filled with faint anger. No wonder, being a Mid Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and suppressed by the cultivator army of Sangyu Country in Kunpeng Immortal City for many years, he probably had long wanted to deal with those little rabbits from Sangyu Country!
“We’ve arrived.”
The fog outside was intermittent, and True Monarch Du’e pointed his hand towards an island in the distance, saying, “That is Liuhua Island. The island’s grand array is not activated at this event, it is an excellent opportunity for our surprise attack.”
“Excellent!”
Lin Tiannan said in a deep voice, “First break the array, then besiege the two big Nascent Souls! The array on the east side is closer to the two big Nascent Souls, I and Fellow Daoist Du’e will take people there, the west side array is a little farther, who will go?”
Ning Daoran immediately said, “I am an Array Master and would like to give it a try.”
“Oh?”
Suddenly, a Golden Core elder said, “Young Friend Ning is indeed a Third-tier Array Master, but after all, he’s just at Golden Core Middle Stage, I fear he may lack strength in battle, I will accompany you!”
“We shall go with Fellow Daoist Ning too!”
In a moment, more than a dozen Late Stage and Middle Stage Golden Core cultivators expressed their willingness to accompany him.
“Good!”
Lin Tiannan said, “Then we will leave the western array to Young Friend Ning and the others. After breaking the array, we will each find our own opponents. Everyone must remember, we have the advantage of a surprise attack, we need to concentrate our forces to kill the enemy’s solitary cultivators. As for when to besiege the two big Nascent Souls, Fellow Daoist Du’e and I will inform you at that time.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Begin!”
True Monarch Du’e swung his sleeves and instantly the Sleeve Universe Technique disappeared, exposing everyone’s figures in the air!
“Go!”
Ning Daoran’s body sank, as he activated the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique, turning into blazing Golden Core Escape Light and rushing towards the west side.
“So fast…”
A few Late Stage Golden Core cultivators were stunned for a moment, this person was only at Golden Core Middle Stage, but his tunneling speed was far superior to theirs!
When it came to surprise attacks, nobody was better than Ning Daoran.
“Buzz~~~”
The Big Green Dragon, carrying the Sixteen Layers Dragon Demon Power, arrived in an instant, aiming a spear at the back of the head of a Golden Core Middle Stage Array Master from Sangyu Country and with one thrust, brains splattered out and he was instantly killed!
“Destroy the Array Flags!”
He sank down, moving like a snake gliding on the ground, dodging the attacks of several Array Protection Cultivators while smashing an Array Flag with a fierce thrust of his spear, and then raised his palm to release six Golden Silk Swords into the ground. The sound of “Peng Peng Peng” followed as he rapidly punctured several Array Plates buried underground.
“These damned Xia Country cultivators…”
Someone flew in from the darkness, shouting loudly, “Quick, activate the second layer of the island protection array, hurry up!”
Within the island, buzzing sounds continued, and strands of purple and green light soared into the sky.
It was the Third-tier Middle-grade Purple Lightning Frost Array!
Ning Daoran saw it clearly, the array flags had been activated, and the time until the Purple Lightning Frost Array was fully formed would not exceed three breaths!
But that was enough time!
He swiftly rushed forward, thrusting his spear at full power towards the nearest Array Flag to him.
“Peng——”
In the booming sound, the spear seemed to hit both the Array Flag and the defensive barrier of the array, immediately transmitting a numbing sensation, while the attacked Array Flag showed fine cracks all over it.
“Go!”
He quickly took out a Spirit Beast Bag and released about ten thousand Fire Devouring Ants into the ground to gnaw at the newly buried Array Flag.
“Young Friend Ning!”
Behind him, a group of Golden Core cultivators exclaimed in shock, “Their grand array is about to be activated!”
“Not necessarily!”
Ning Daoran pointed his hand towards the nearest array base on the southwest side and said, “Attack here with all your might, quickly!”
“Attack!”
A group of Great Cultivators yelled out as they charged, and the air was full of various spells and Magical Treasures hitting the array, causing buzzing sounds, while Ning Daoran pulled out his Qiushui Sword, using the Liangyi Sword Technique to strike with each sword, his momentum astonishing.
Underground, the Fire Devouring Ants squealed loudly, frantically gnawing on the Array Flag, which was a great tonic for them as it was refined from various materials rich in Essence Qi!
As a result, in less than ten breaths of time, the Purple Lightning Frost Array in front of them collapsed with a thunderous crash.
“It’s over!”
Below the array base, a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator from Sangyu Country was dumbfounded, hastily lifted a flying disc and angrily said, “You thieves, I will fight you with all I have!”
“Beat him!”
A group of Xia Country cultivators cried out.
Suddenly, more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators from all sides used various Cultivation Techniques and treasures to attack the Late Stage Golden Core! The Late Stage Golden Core had never experienced such treatment in his life. After his flying disc was wobbling and broke, he was pierced through his inner armor by several Flying Swords. Then he was hit on the head by a giant Ding type Magical Treasure from a Late Stage Golden Core, wobbled from side to side, and then was stamped on the top of his skull by a treasure seal, followed by a bunch of Flying Knives that punctured his waist. When the man flew out, he was already lifeless.
