Chapter 347: Sudden Attack, War on the Brink
However, though hidden, in the eyes of a Golden Immortal, it was as good as non-existent.
This was also why almost no one wanted to target them.
It wasn't that they couldn't win, but that there was no need.
Even if they won, it would just be one more relatively large mountain.
For the past seven months, everyone had been living in peace.
But now, a team was walking towards them.
There weren't many people, only four, but there were two Golden Immortals.
This forced the three of them to treat the situation seriously.
Lin Yu was still in seclusion within the mountain.
They needed to avoid a fight here as much as possible.
"Sirs, what is your purpose in coming to our territory?"
Seeing their arrival, Dragon Qingyan stepped forward.
The fact that these people didn't immediately attack made her feel a little relieved; as long as they didn't attack, there was room for negotiation.
"Fairy, we are Xia Wei, the Su Family Matriarch of the Jinyan Star Region. We are here only to... discuss cooperation!"
Xia Wei smiled slightly at the somewhat nervous and hostile Dragon Qingyan.
At the same time, she waved her hand, signaling the two Clan Elders to step back slightly.
Bringing people was her leverage, but making them retreat was a sign of sincerity.
"Cooperation? Please explain!"
Dragon Qingyan was slightly surprised to hear this.
However, she still asked.
She would stall for as long as possible.
Moreover, if the cooperation was simple, they could even take a loss and help the other party, as long as it stalled until Lin Yu came out of seclusion.
Although they could call Little Kun and Ling'er for help, that was their ultimate trump card, to be used only if absolutely necessary.
Compared to Dragon Qingyan's caution, Dragon Ziyan, who was behind her, was eager to try her hand.
After these seven months, her cultivation had completely stabilized, and she had learned a lot from the Nine Phoenix bloodline inheritance.
The two old men opposite looked decent, and she really wanted to test how strong her current combat power was.
She wanted to see if she could fight above her realm.
However, she also knew that now was not the time to act recklessly.
If she won, it would be fine, but if she lost, she would put her own people in danger.
Therefore, she temporarily suppressed the desire to fight in her heart.
"As you can see, we just returned from the depths of this area. That mysterious strong practitioner is elusive, and we can't get through, so..."
Xia Wei's words were concise and clear, directly stating her intention.
"Of course, we can offer some compensation."
Fearing Dragon Qingyan's refusal, she immediately offered generous terms.
Pass through this area?
Hearing Xia Wei's words, Dragon Qingyan's gaze turned to the area where they were.
Indeed, everyone was injured, and the bloodstains on their bodies hadn't been cleaned yet.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly again.
She felt that this wasn't a discussion of cooperation; it was asking them to commit suicide.
With two Golden Immortals, they were still in such a state. What was the difference between asking them to go and asking them to commit suicide?
Moreover, this ridge still needed to be guarded by them. She absolutely could not agree to this cooperation.
However, those two Golden Immortals were indeed difficult to deal with.
"Ziyan, these people have ill intentions. Communicate with Ling'er and Little Kun. If necessary, I will lure them away later!"
Having made up her mind, she immediately sent a sound transmission to Dragon Ziyan.
Cooperation was out of the question. If these people were aggressive, then there would only be war.
Of course, the battlefield would need to be moved elsewhere.
"En, en, don't worry, Qingyan-jie, I'm terribly strong now! I'll definitely beat these people senseless!"
Dragon Ziyan immediately became spirited, her eyes glowing.
At the same time, she had already established contact with Ling'er and Little Kun through the authority given by Lin Yu.
They could come out at any time.
"Fairy Xia, we currently have no plans to pass through this area. How about we cooperate when we do have that idea?"
After making arrangements, Dragon Qingyan returned a slight smile.
However, her gaze became much sharper.
This reply was a subtle way to give the other party a way out.
It just depended on how the other party chose.
To fight, or to retreat!
"Hmph, you wretched woman, don't be ungrateful! You're just a mere Heavenly Immortal Realm. If I didn't see that you still have some use, did you really think you had the qualifications to speak to me?"
Before Xia Wei could speak, the Third Clan Elder behind her stood out, displeased.
He and the Great Clan Elder had come together to exert pressure with their cultivation.
But he didn't expect the other party to actually refuse.
This made his already irritable mood, caused by the mysterious strong practitioner, even worse.
His eyes held killing intent, and the aura of a Golden Immortal instantly erupted without reservation.
The terrifying aura caused the entire ridge to tremble slightly.
"Not good!"
Dragon Qingyan's expression changed dramatically.
She didn't expect the other party to attack instantly, not even giving her time to shift the battlefield.
Such a large commotion was very likely to affect Lin Yu's seclusion in the mountain.
"Ziyan, have Little Kun attack and lure them away!"
She didn't hesitate at all, immediately turning back and shouting.
Lin Yu had been in seclusion for over seven months straight, clearly for something very important. She wouldn't allow him to be disturbed.
As she spoke, she waved her jade hand, instantly mobilizing Stone Brave and the others hidden in the surroundings, directly charging towards the enemy's territory.
This was the method she thought of in an extremely short time.
While her own people besieged the enemy's main camp to force them to defend, Little Kun would use its spatial attribute abilities to try and shift the battlefield elsewhere.

The moment her voice fell, hundreds of figures appeared, simultaneously soaring rapidly towards the fifty-plus people on the distant plain.
Four hundred against fifty, a clear numerical advantage.
Coupled with the fact that the other party was all injured, it wouldn't be very difficult to completely annihilate them.
Even if there were still Heavenly Immortal Realm strong practitioners among the enemy, their current strength was almost one-tenth of what it was, so there was no pressure.
"Defend, quick, defend!"
Xia Wei's face was also extremely grim. She continuously shouted at the Third Clan Elder, showing no mercy.
All of this happened too quickly, so fast that she didn't even have time to stop it.
Similarly, she didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, abandoning their defenses here and directly charging towards their territory.
If those fifty people were killed, their losses would be too great.
Most importantly, this was a meaningless consumption.
She somewhat regretted bringing the Third Clan Elder.
He was simply more trouble than he was worth!
One sentence forced the other party into a frenzy.
"Roar!"
However, just then, a roar that shook everyone's souls came from the sky.
Immediately after, a Time-Space Giant Kun that blotted out the sky and sun emerged from the void.
Its body was so massive, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers.
Its appearance instantly covered the entire area in shadow, and the world grew dim.
"This... this is a Star Beast, a Time-Space Giant Kun!"
As the Giant Kun appeared, someone from the surrounding forces instantly recognized it.
The Time-Space Giant Kun was a famous overlord of the starry sky, devouring all things, but such creatures were rare.
