Chapter 36- Start of the conflicts

Drylands, the center of the Fire ore mines, inside the crack of a mountain- 

"Grr!" 

The Flame Wolfking opened its crimson eyes when it sensed the past enemy gained the strength to overthrow its ruling in Drylands. 

Even though it had been absorbing the Fire Yuan element liquid still it was not able to advance any further and now it had the chance to improve by killing the Goldeyed Tyrant Bear. 

This was the reason that Flame Wolfking spared the life of Goldeyed Tyrant Bear to eat it and improve to the 6th Origin level. 

"ROAR!!!" 

The allies of the Flame Wolfking gathered for their ruler to give orders, as the Flame Wolfking came to the cliff while looking at the many Yuan beasts, the red fur of Flame Wolfking blazed with the fierce fire and all the Yuan beasts were spirited and excited to kill all the Grasslands' Yuan beasts and became the sole Yuan beasts in the Sunrise Forest.

Grasslands, the cave of the Ruler-

"ROAR!!!" 

The Goldeyed Tyant Bear roared with might after 100 years of humiliation, giving the spirits to its allies in the Grasslands. 

"GRR!" 

"ROAR!" 

All the allied Yuan beasts were also roared along with their ruler who advanced to the 5th Origin level and once again became the sole ruler of the Sunrise forest. 

'It's Started, by the midday the conflict will start between the rulers of Grasslands and Drylands of Sunrise Forest' thought Xiao Xun while watching the Goldeyed Tyrant Bear marching with its allies to the Drylands. 

'But where is that person, still not taking action?' thought Xiao Xun leaving the Grasslands and going to see her master who was in the Ye mansion's study room as he was waiting for her. 

Ding Mao mansion, 

The once handsome man now had a face of terror, solemnly gazing at the dark token in his hand and waiting for the other person to respond to help him from the Chu Lingshu. 

'Why...why... where did it go wrong, yeah if that bicth hadn't come to Dragonshi Town my plans should have gone with ease now my master also didn't respond to me, and even if I tried to escape from this town I will be captured' thought Ding Mao grasping his disheveled hair with his palm. 

"Damn it! I shouldn't have joined hands with this bastard Shao Lin" shouted Ding Mao throwing the Dark token to the ground suddenly he saw the inscriptions on the dark token shine which agitated his heart and he immediately took the dark token in his hand. 

"M..mm..Master!" shouted Ding Mao. 

"You are still alive?" said a curious innocent voice that sounded like a kid. 

"...." Ding Mao didn't know what to say after hearing the words. 

"Anyway, what is the situation in there?" 

"Well, Shao Lin died in the hands of Chu Lingshu and currently I am the main suspect of the smuggling master," said Ding Mao in a hurry he explained all the details of the current situation in the Fire Ore mines. 

"Tsk, that thing I have raised died without any use," said with an irritated voice as Ding Mao shivered with fear. 

"No need to worry, I will do something to save you but don't do anything stupid till then" 

"Yes Master, I will follow whatever orders you give to me?" said Ding Mao as his eyes were blank obsessed like a dog to its owner. 

"Then destroy this token and wait for my orders to follow" 

"Be at ease Master, I won't make mistakes this time" said Ding Mao as he feared that his master could throw away him for not having any use. 

"CRACK!!" 

Ding Mao destroyed the Drak token with his hand while having a happy face that he was able to talk with his master. 

In a dark room, 

"Now Which one of my creations should I send over?" said a blonde-haired short man walking towards the group of person-like figures standing in many rows. 

"HEHE... this one may work out," said the blonde-haired short man looking at the 50 person-like figures, standing steadily in a row and waiting for his orders. 

 

"CLICK!" 

"Time to start the hunt," said with an innocent smile on his childish fair face. 

Ye Mansion, inside Office room- 

Chu Lingshu had a serious face while the captain of the White-robed guards in Dragonshi Town, Dong Fang 8th stage Yuan Dwelling Qi Master was presented in the office room along with Ah Lian who was a 7th stage Yaun Dwelling Qi master with 5th Tier Array master talent. 

"Princess, based on the information I have from the patrol guards in the Drylands, I can confirm this is a Yuan Beasts tide," said Ye Zhaobai making everyone's eyes widen with a hint of fear as they know the danger of Yuan Beasts tide. 

"Are you sure your information is correct Town lord?" asked Dong Fang with a stern face as Ye Zhaobai nodded his sullen face. 

"Ah Lian, leave quickly to check the Defense Array formation of Dragonshi Town" ordered Chu Lingshu as Ah Lian immediately left to check the Array formation that protects the Dragonshi Town. 

"Dong Fang, give the warning to all the civilians and Qi masters to go into the safer areas in Dragonshi Town also inform the royal guards regarding this matter to protect the miners in the Fire Ore mines" Chu Lingshu gave orders to Dong Fang who had to admire Chu Lingshu for first taking measures to protects the people than the Fire Ore mines. 

"Yes, Princess! at your order" shouted Dong Fang leaving Ye Zhaobai and Chu Lingshu alone in the office room. 

"Where was Young Master Zhu?" asked Chu Lingshu. 

"Princess, Young Master Zhu is in the study room today didn't go to the training with the refiner," said Ye Zhaobai who already told everything about the refiner had come to Dragonshi Town and could teach Yao Zhu for a week. 

'I am suspicious of that Refiner but can't do anything right now' thought Chu Lingshu and suddenly the Qi masters in the Dragonshi Town felt the chill in their souls. 

"BOOOM!!!" 

"Ye Zhaobai, I am leaving the Draogonshi Town leadership in your hands," said Chu Lingshu quickly jumping off from the window as a small leaf in her palm became large while floating in the air. 

"What the hell..." Ye Zhaobai's mouth widened when he saw the huge ice boulder formed in the direction of Ding Mao's mansion and Chu Lingshu's face became serious as she flew quickly to see her best friend. 

"WHOOSH!!" 

"CRACK!!" 

"KREK!" 

Chu Lingshu pressed her feet on the Flying Leaf Artifact and covered her eyes with her arm when the strong winds almost blew away her and she saw the huge ice boulder instantly crushed by the winds. 

"Are you from the Shui family, you have pretty ice tricks with you Hehe" said a grey metal mask, wearing a light-dark robe while holding Ding Mao in his arm who was unconscious. 

"Long Vine Sword" 

"CLANG!" 

"Whoa~ you are fierce with no proper greeting to the uninvited guest Hehe," said the grey metal-masked man in a playful manner while deflecting the sword with his metal plate on his arm. 

"Well that's the normal greeting to an uninvited guest," said Chu Lingshu landing on the ground while the Flying Leaf artifact went into her dimension ring. 

"Are you alright?" asked Chu Lingshu while looking over her shoulder where she saw the fallen chunks of Ding Mao mansion blasted away revealing a voluptuous fully covered black-robed figure walking out wearing a white mask. 

"Yeah," said Mu Lingyi while nobbing her head as her blue eyes didn't leave the metal-masked person. 

'This guy is strong Lingshu at least 9th Golden Core realm, we need to give our full strength at the start' said Mu Lingyi using her Spiritual whispering Technique to Chu Lingshu through her mind. 

'9th Golden Core realm!' shocked Chu Lingshu when she heard the realm of the metal-masked person. 

"Who are you, and what is your reason for smuggling the Fire Ore mines?" asked Chu Lingshu while she held her Burnet Vine Core Whip as the Burnet vines formed the hilt and Mu Lingyi took the snow white sword from her Dimension ring. 

"HEHE... do you think I am an idiot sister, I will say everything after you ask me?" said the metal-masked man while shaking his head and gazing at the Prison Array formation formed around the collapsed Ding Mao mansion. 

"Whao~ a 5th Tier Array formation but still it was weak," said the metal-masked man to Ah Lian who was floating in the air on his Compass board Flying artifact and created the Prison Array formation using the two Array Yellow Flags. 

"Every single criminal wants the hard way then be ready to beat up," said Chu Lingshu as the many Burnet vines formed on her Burnet vine core whip. 

"Wow, Sister is angry then need to blow a cool breeze to cool down," said the metal-masked man as the wind was catching up and surrounding him as a small wind turbulence formed. 

"This is Cyan winds?" said Mu Lingyi seeing the Cyan colored winds, a normal Cyan-winged Egale Yuan beast could produce this type of Cyran winds in the Dark Xing Forest. 

There was no time for thinking, two best friends took their stands and focused on the metal-masked man. 

Blacksmith Block, Drunkard Old Shop- 

The whole Old shop was sealed with a black-light screen square cage that Han Luan Er stood in front of while sweating, her hands were trembling as she tried to break the black light screen but no matter how many times she swung her long sword it was not breaking. 

'What should I do, My Young master told me to protect this Drunkard but what is this black light screen It not even forming a crack after I attacked it many times' thought Han Luan Er gazing at the square black light screen with a hint of tiredness in her blue eyes. 

"Never expected that weird guy can able up an Array seal cage to imprison me, but it will at least take 15 minutes to break this Array seal cage and I hope those two girls won't be harmed by that weird guy' thought the drunkard Refiner with a grin as he couldn't wait to fight with the metal masked guy making all the mess. 

Meanwhile, inside the study room of Ye Mansion- 

"So, everything is ready Xiao Xun?" asked Yao Zhu while gazing at the window where he could see the Prison Array formation. 

"Yes, Young master and the rulers of the both Grasslands and Drylands are also ready to have a battle and this is the perfect time for us to take to Natural treasure," said Xiao Xun with a smile on her exclusive face under the black cloak. 

"Then let's start the treasure hunt amid the start of the Conflicts," said Yao Zhu with a wide grin as his red eyes filled with excitement.
