Chapter 1120: Chapter 1121: Conspiracy and Tricks

People gradually dispersed.

The Great Elder, Lin Bei, called over a trusted aide and whispered a few sentences that seemed to involve some secret matter.

Long Aotian waited until there was no one around before moving a few steps forward and saying, “Master, the sects have come prepared for the tournament, not just for a formality. Particularly the disciples from the Super Sects are more powerful than us.”

“Hmph!”

“I know, which is why we must be prepared for all eventualities. As usual, you will participate in tomorrow’s tournament; I’ve already discussed it with the Island Master. The rules of the combat will be skewed in your favor, allowing you to reach the final without shedding blood.”

“However, to prevent any unforeseen incidents, we need to start preparing for that matter tonight!”

Lin Bei’s eyes glimmered with a cold light as he spoke.

“That matter?”

“Could it be Xue’er…”

Long Aotian’s face suddenly changed as he said, “Master, we really shouldn’t proceed with this. As long as Xue’er marries me, my descendants will surely inherit the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline. There’s no need to rush this!”

Lin Bei angrily responded, “Nonsense, what do you know?”

“Not rush it? Do you realize how precious the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline Power is? If it weren’t for the Island Master expending her last strength and with no better options available, why would she entrust her precious disciple to our lineage?”

“Don’t forget, that old fox, Zhang Liancheng, is also eying us covetously on Ice Dragon Island. He hasn’t made a move yet only because he once promised the old Island Master to obey the new leader. He is also waiting; waiting for the Island Master to die. The moment the Island Master dies, he will move to eradicate our lineage first!”

“Our time is limited. Even though Long Xue bears the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline, she remains an outsider. Only by seizing control of the Bloodline Power ourselves can we truly secure our position on the island and stand up to that old man, Zhang Liancheng!”

Lin Bei spoke gravely, feeling the urgency as the situation grew increasingly tricky.

To secure his footing on the island in the future, he had to consider many factors, while that Second Elder, Zhang Liancheng, only had to consider how to eliminate them. The feeling of being at someone else’s mercy was unbearable.

“But Master, both you and the Second Elder are in the Saint Realm. How could he possibly annihilate us?”

“Does he have other helpers in the Saint Realm?”

Long Aotian was puzzled. Both were in the Saint Realm; neither should be able to overpower the other, so how could such annihilation occur?

“What do you know?”

“Zhang Liancheng is older than both the current Island Master and me combined. He has been in the Saint Realm since the day I started cultivating on Ice Dragon Island.”

“Within the Saint Realm, there are levels of strength, and I suspect he has already ignited the Second Divine Flame!”

Lin Bei’s voice was cold, his eyes flickering with a wary light. Once stepping into the Saint Realm, three Divine Flames appear above the head of a cultivator; igniting all of them allows one to ascend as a true Immortal God and enter the Immortal Gods Realm. Unfortunately, across ages, very few have managed to achieve this feat—less than ten individuals.

“Igniting the Second Divine Flame?”

“Then his power would be even greater than yours, Master?”

Long Aotian’s mouth fell open wide, having heard somewhat about the divisions within the Saint Realm.

Most in the Saint Realm can only ignite one Divine Flame, but those who can ignite two are top-tier entities within the Central Origin Realm—the mysterious Blood Demon Sect’s Sect Master, Master Wuyuzi, the Abbot of Great Thunderclap Temple from Buddha Country, Xiao Lao Di who always travels alone, and Beichen Feng who is far away in the Eastern Continent on the Confucian Path.

In recent years, the Second Elder rarely acted openly, and even the Island Master was unaware of his exact age and cultivation level. However, one thing is clear: having lived for so long, his cultivation level has long surpassed that of a common Saint Realm expert and is not something ordinary Saint Realm masters can equate to.

Lin Bei lacked the confidence to confront, much less defeat, him. To challenge such an old adversary, he would need to build momentum on Ice Dragon Island and gain the support of most people on the island. Once the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline Power was in his control, none of these aims would be difficult.

“That’s why we must strike first, seize control of the Bloodline Power, and keep that old man at bay.”

“My dear disciple, in times like these, it’s crucial to prioritize correctly. Don’t let a woman ruin our grand plans!”

Lin Bei indifferently said,

“Yes… Disciple understands, everything depends on the Master’s arrangement.”

Long Aotian’s complexion wasn’t very good, but he nodded in agreement. Compared to themselves, Long Xue’s life and death indeed seemed less important. The Master’s plan was crucial and must not fail.

On the other side.

Inside the inn.

Li Xiaobai was clinking cups with several fellow disciples and discussing tomorrow’s schedule.

Suddenly, the cultivators in the inn began to stir, as if something significant had happened, appearing very panicked.

“What’s going on, boy?”

Li Xiaobai waved and asked.

“Sir, something big has happened. All the prodigies from the Sea Clan who came for the martial competition and marriage proposal are dead. They died a miserable death. Someone saw their bodies nailed at the entrance of Ice Dragon Island, still steaming!”

The waiter said with a bit of panic in his voice.

“Shh!”

“But that’s not right, two died on the platform, yes, but didn’t the rest leave already?”

Yang Chen spoke up.

“It was those few. Someone killed them on their way off the island!”

“And someone left a message on their bodies: ‘Do not provoke the might of the dragon!'”

“Now, everyone on the island is saying that the Island Master ordered the deaths of those Sea Clan prodigies. The Sea Clan won’t let this go easily. Ice Dragon Island is in jeopardy!”

The waiter continued.

“They offended too many people. There would always be some who didn’t want them to leave alive. With so many family powers gathered on Ice Dragon Island, naturally, the blame would fall on the Island Master.”

Li Xiaobai slowly said, not surprised by this result.

“In light of this, we need to act faster. Once our junior brother wins the competition tomorrow, we will immediately take our junior sister with us. If Ice Dragon Island tries to stop us, we will fight them!”

Su Yunbing decided firmly.

“We have the support of our seniors, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“It’s just too bad about the dowry. If we forcibly take her away, we might not be able to keep it!”

Liu Jinshui smacked his lips, hoping that the trip would go smoothly so perhaps they could gain some benefits.

“Hehe, don’t worry, young ones. Since I’m a friend of little Li, I will not stand by idly. If those old geezers think about messing around, I’ll crush them myself!”

Yitilou said carelessly and arrogantly. Though his strength was no longer at its peak, he still didn’t consider the people of the world as his equals.

Yan Zuzi considerately pushed over a small dish and said, “Drink less, have some peanuts.”

“Speaking of which, let’s open a betting pool tomorrow and cause a huge upset. How about we rake in a huge sum?”
