272: Chapter 272 The Eastern Calamity Reached Its Peak

After handling all this, the leaders of the two clans looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big Cat, what now?" Yan Yan wiped away non-existent cold sweat and asked.

"What else can we do? Retreat! As far away from here as possible!" The leader of the Tiger Clan gritted his teeth. "After that Little Ancestor leaves this million-mile radius, we will come back and fight again!"

A moment later, the armies of the two clans retreated like a tide, even erasing the traces of their march as they left.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

...

A hundred years of time is nothing more than a shallow breathing exercise for a powerful being of the Primordial World. For the Tiger and Fire clans, however, these hundred years were more agonizing than any previous epoch.

On this day, a gentle glow of rosy light appeared on the horizon, and Princess Longji finally stepped on a fairy cloud, arriving late.

"Wow! Water Virtue Star Lord, look quickly, this valley is so beautiful and so tidy!"

Princess Longji tapped her feet "da da da" as she leaped lightly in the Void Realm.

She looked at the valley below, which had been trimmed so neatly that even the spacing between the trees was almost perfect, her beautiful eyes shining with joy.

She had no idea that a hundred years ago, this place had been a meat grinder filled with a million corpses and rivers of blood.

"The Princess is right. This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters; it is indeed a good place for an outing."

The accompanying Water Virtue Star Lord bowed slightly, his expression calm and unruffled.

However, the moment he turned his head, he could not help but let his lips, which he had been trying hard to suppress, twitch twice in a hidden manner.

Of course it was tidy!

A hundred years ago, this place was still being "processed" by the Fire and Tiger Clans.

Just as Princess Longji was happily shuttling through the valley, playing and frolicking.

In the spatial layer here, the two "monitors" from the Tiger and Fire clans were squeezed together, holding their breath, with cold sweat pouring down their bodies.

"Phew... Thankfully, this Little Ancestor didn't discover any clues." The monitor from the Fire Clan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said via voice transmission, still having lingering fears.

"That is right, do not look at who cut those rockeries. They were personally carved by the Old Ancestor using the Qi of Geng Metal. How could they not be tidy?"

The monitor from the Tiger Clan also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before the heavy stones in their hearts could completely land, the Water Virtue Star Lord below seemed to sense something.

He raised his head intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze appearing to glance casually, piercing through layers of the Void Realm, and landing on this spatial layer.

Six eyes met!

The Water Virtue Star Lord revealed a meaningful and slightly upturned playful smile at the two.

"Hiss—!!"

This glance made the two monitors' scalps go numb on the spot, and they almost could not maintain their hidden Divine Ability.

Fortunately, the Water Virtue Star Lord quickly withdrew his gaze, continuing to dutifully play his role as a bodyguard, silently following behind Princess Longji as they went far away.

"It is finally over. Run! Go back and report to the Old Ancestor!"

The two dared not stay any longer and immediately turned into two streams of light, speeding towards their respective clan lands.

...

The Eastern Land, Tiger Clan, White Tiger Hall.

"Are they gone? That Little Ancestor has finally left!"

After hearing the scout's report, Patriarch Bai Huang, who was sitting high in the first seat, and the two rows of Elders sitting upright, simultaneously heaved a long sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the main hall, which had been tense to the extreme, finally eased.

"Heavenly Dao bless us, we have finally sent this Little Ancestor away."

However, just as this breath was released, the humiliation and anger they had suppressed for a full hundred years completely spiraled out of control in this instant.

Boom!

The Great Elder of the Tiger Clan slammed the black jade table in front of him. The violent Qi of Geng Metal instantly shattered the table into powder. His face was livid, and he roared angrily:

"Bastards! It is all the fault of that group of scruffy fire-players! If it were not for those beasts of the Fire Clan resisting desperately, how could our clan's Cultivators be used as stone masons and repair rockeries on the battlefield?! It is simply a huge humiliation!!"

People always need an excuse to vent.

They dared not resent Princess Longji, much less resent that Haotian Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, all the fear and suppressed anger were counted on the head of the Fire Clan.

"The Great Elder is right!" The Second Elder immediately jumped up, his fur bristling as he hissed: "It is all the fault of that damn fuel from the Fire Clan!"

"Clan Chief! We cannot fight any more local probing wars! If we continue to be this stifled, the Dao Heart of our boys will collapse!"

"Send troops directly! Start an all-out war and completely wipe out the Fire Clan!!"

For a time, the entire White Tiger Hall was filled with Killing Intent.

If a powerful being were to open their Heavenly Eye and look at this moment, they would be able to discover that a mass of thick, inseparable Calamity Qi had already firmly shrouded the sky above the Tiger Clan's territory, blinding their minds.

"Good!"

Patriarch Bai Huang's eyes were full of fierce light as he made the final decision.

He looked at the Second Elder and ordered in a deep voice: "Second brother, during these days, go and bring those five from the Chan Sect over."

After all, they were one Quasi-Saint and four Great Luo, which was not a small combat force.

Then Patriarch Bai Huang looked at the Great Elder and ordered:

"Order the three armies to sharpen their weapons and feed their horses! A thousand years from now, at the border of the two clans, the final decisive battle will begin!"

Second Elder: "Yes!"

Great Elder: "Understood!"

Patriarch Bai Huang slowly stood up, his gaze directed towards the direction of the Fire Clan, and said with Killing Intent: "You scruffy fire-players, there must finally be an end between you and the Tiger Clan!"

...

Meanwhile, the unspoken understanding between enemies is always surprisingly similar.

Within the territory of the Fire Clan, the exact same scene was playing out.

"Ah ya ya ya! I am furious! The Heavenly Court is bullying people too much, and that big cat is even more damnable!!"

The Fire Clan Chief, Yan Yan, was frantically smashing furnaces in the ancestral land, his roar causing volcanoes for tens of thousands of miles around to erupt simultaneously:

"Gather all the Cultivators in the clan for me. A thousand years from now, we will fight to the death with that group of big cats from the Tiger Clan!!"

...

Coast of the East Sea, on Three Immortals Island.

Shi Yan sat upright beside the Sanguang Holy Water Pool, watching the Calamity Qi in the four directions of the land, and muttered:

"It is almost time, the East is coming to an end..."

This Calamity is about to be one-quarter complete.

"The East is almost over, but little brother, remember to lend me the Ancestor of Writing and the Three Ancestors."

I do not know when, but a Red Cloud wearing a deep red Daoist robe appeared beside Shi Yan, his tone casual.

"Easy, easy. Later I will transmit sound to the Three Ancestors and the Ancestor of Writing, let them leave seclusion, and go to the Netherworld to help out."

"Then many thanks, little brother." Red Cloud smiled.

The final decisive battle in the Eastern Land will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the remnant souls and Primordial Spirits in the Netherworld.

Zhenyuanzi and Red Cloud want to secretly collect the Primordial Spirits and True Spirits of the Great Luo and Quasi-Saints from all over the Primordial World, so they cannot sit in the Netherworld.

Relying solely on the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Asura Clan to handle the affairs of the Netherworld would be very difficult.

Therefore, Red Cloud asked Shi Yan for reinforcements.
