Chapter 522 Convenient

Wu Long smiled and spoke up in a lighthearted tone since the situation seemed to be resolved, but his pupils then contracted, and a surprised expression appeared in his eyes as he paused.

"Oh? It seems war has come to your shores earlier than even I thought..."

The old men before him raised their eyebrows at his words.

*BOOM!!!*

*Crash!* *Boom!* *Pssshhh!!!*

The Sect\'s Protective Formation shattered with a thunderous roar in the next moment by a beam of light which came from the far horizon and several temples that stood for thousands of years on these volcanic rocks were blown into smithereens as the beam went straight into the side of the volcano causing another explosive sound followed by a torrent of lava gushing from within.

"Treacherous Brilliant Sun Temple that supports usurpers of the Frozen Garden Palace and aids in their escape from punishment! Prepare to face the reckoning for your actions!!!"

A voice enhanced by a Voice Amplification Technique resounded throughout the Seas around the island, and then five figures rapidly approached the island, all floating in the air while ten treasure ships sped far behind them.

"That voice! Ro Banshui?!?!"

Grand Elder Gan exclaimed, still shocked, but with anger and hatred flaring up in his voice and demeanor, remembering the old rival from the Cloud Piercing Sect who was advocating for Wen Mei\'s cause during the Winter Forest Hunt.

"M-mortal Transcendence Realm cultivators!!! F-Five of them!"

One of the Grand Elders of the Brilliant Sun Temple shouted with shock and horror, their eyes reflecting the figures clad in black robes floating ahead of the ships, as they only had two practitioners at this realm, one of whom was already far into his decline and could hardly be considered part of their force, and their previous Sect Ancestor has been dead for over 300 years.

"There are also around ten Core Formation Realm experts on the ships, and an army with them!"

"I-it is the Profound Martial Arts Valley and the Cloud Piercing Sect!!! They have really come in retribution for meddling with the Frozen Garden Palace!"

They could see Ro Banshui and some other Grand Elders of the two Sects on the ships, staring at the island with wide grins.

"But... how are there so many high-level cultivators? N-None of those five Mortal Transcendence experts is part of the two Sects!"

"I-it\'s the Alchemy Tower\'s reinforcements! Didn\'t you feel an even more powerful aura coming from that attack which shattered our Protective Formation?!"

The other Grand Elders all stood up along with the Temple Master, their faces revealing the dismay and signs of panic.

"All Brilliant Sun Temple members, attention and receive orders!

Secure Disciples and assemble the Sect Protectors to the shores!

Look through the wreckage for survivors and have the Medicine Hall dispatch all personnel!

All Elders not required for the search and rescue are to join the defensive position!"

Temple Master Qi raised his Sect Master Badge, using emergency broadcast Formation to transmit his orders throughout the Sect.

\'The Seven Profound Realms guy on the horizon left, seems his only job was to breach the Formation... tch, a shame but there\'s no way to catch up\'

Wu Long\'s eyes narrowed.

"Well, if it isn\'t convenient?

You wanted reassurance? I can provide you one with a little demonstration"

He then stood up with a smile, as round eyes filled with bewilderment turned to him, seemingly saying \'what is this madman talking about?\' as the previous experience, while being profound, was still a feeling, which did not have any visual or otherwise sensory impact, and under such extreme duress and panic has faded as they did not have any time to process it.

He turned around as he was sitting with his back to the sea, looking toward the distant approaching figures.

\'Hmm, and I was expecting for him to try and wrestle away Tingren Kingdom next... it is certainly unexpected\'

His thoughts went through the scenarios he anticipated and prepared for, but he missed the mark as Gu Zhen decided to strike down the Brilliant Sun Temple.

\'What a coincidence indeed. If not by chance I was here, he would\'ve wiped them out while I was away on the continent...\'

He then sighed with a bit of relief, as this time the truly unexpected coincidence was on his side.

Even though he did not really need this Sect, he did at least feel some goodwill toward Grand Elder Gan.

He took out a wooden mask, and a talisman with illusory art he made with Madam Liang for these occasions.

He could not wipe them out as Gu Zhen would not tolerate such a failure, especially when Wu Long was, in his perception, not even here, so he would have sent more forces, possibly even arriving himself.

Thus Wu Long had to leave a group of survivors who would tell the Alchemy Tower Master what happened.

And as the survivors would see him killing at least three of the Mortal Transcendence Realm practitioners, he could not have them reporting his identity. Though of course, there was no need to leave too many survivors either.

There was also merit in letting Gu Zhen think there was someone else capable of disrupting his plans lurking in the shadows.

Thus as he donned on the mask and applied a talisman over it, transforming his overall appearance, he took out a communication talisman to contact Madam Liang who was the only one capable of giving him an alibi.

Gu Zhen was likely to have made a minor attack elsewhere for diversion, most likely in the Tingren Kingdom that Wu Long has anticipated but on a much less scale and severity, so he could then flaunt in Wu Long\'s face that he defended the wrong place.

Though in this case he would have been correct, at least if not for this convenient coincidence.

And just as he thought, a message reached his communication jade at this moment.
