Lin Dongfang shook his head with a bitter smile. "I thought it would be enough, but now I find it still isn't. The Heaven-Tier Great Perfection realm can at best suppress the Vajra Gu and the Mighty Spirit Gu for a while longer—but without the spirit spring water, the problem will resurface in seven days."
If even the Heaven-Tier Great Perfection realm could not do it, then the only hope of curing the problem at its root lay with the Heavenly Dao. But Lin Dongfang was now trapped in West Star Mountain Village and could not leave; to look toward the Heavenly Dao realm on his own strength alone was far easier said than done.
"This..." Aunt Qing hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke. "On my way here, I caught wind of something—they say a large number of top-tier experts have gathered in East Sea City recently, and it looks as though they mean to move against Wei Zhao's girlfriends and his subordinates."
She had thought that once Lin Dongfang raised his strength to the Heaven-Tier Great Perfection realm, he would be able to solve the problem of being unable to leave the village, and it would not be too late to step forward then. But as things stood now, the matter had become rather thorny.
"Is that so?" Lin Dongfang frowned at the news, then suddenly rose to his feet. "There's no time to lose—let's head to the East Sea right now."
"But aren't you unable to leave the village?" Aunt Qing said in surprise.
"As long as I can make it back within seven days, it's fine. That's time enough to settle the matter." Lin Dongfang smiled confidently.
Meanwhile, East Sea City was now a gathering of heroes. He Dantou and the men of the Iron Garment Sect had successfully awaited the arrival of three Heaven-Tier Great Perfection experts from the Center.
Beyond that, lured by He Dantou's promises of gain, the experts of the Black Horse Society had also come to lend their strength, and for a time morale soared.
If He Dantou and the Iron Garment Sect alone had only a slight edge against Wei Zhao's subordinates and the experts of the Blood Garment Yellow Springs Sect, now that the Black Horse Society had joined them, the matter was all but settled.
Seven Heaven-Tier Great Perfection experts led by He Dantou, four Heaven-Tier Great Perfection experts of the Iron Garment Sect, and the host of Black Horse Society experts besides—with such a vast and formidable array, in this post-Cloud-Tier Island era, to sweep aside a trifling East Sea City was nothing; even contending for supremacy over the world would be more than enough.
Rousing their forces, they returned for another round. He Dantou led the host of experts in a menacing advance, sworn to wipe out Wei Zhao's people in one sweep and wash away their former shame.
In the eyes of He Dantou and his lot, this was to be a battle of vindication, one meant to shock the whole world and show every cultivator on earth the full measure of their strength. So from first to last they made no concealment at all, throwing out an overwhelming formation from the very start.
Word reached Wei Zhao's villa at once. Gathered there were not only Qiu Lingshan and the others who had fought that day, but even several of the Blood Garment Yellow Springs Sect's ancestors, each seated in turn.
Watching the menacing spectacle of He Dantou and his company, every face in the room could not help but turn tense; even the Blood Garment ancestors wore the grave expressions of men facing a great enemy.
"What do we do?" In the end it was Qiu Lingshan who gave voice to the thoughts of all present.
Truth be told, with the strength of everyone present plus the Blood Garment ancestors, even against He Dantou and his company they were not entirely without a chance of victory.
But everyone also understood that if it truly came to a head-on clash, win or lose, more than half of those seated here would likely end up as cold corpses. That much was unavoidable.
