Chapter 782: Chapter 307: Awakening, Eliminating Hidden Threats, Home Invasion (Ten Thousand-Word Special)
Shangguan Li quietly approached the guard of the Cloud Seagull Tribe, silently condensing his Spiritual Power in his hand. When the guard was completely unaware, Shangguan Li suddenly struck, knocking him out with a single blow. Then, he used the Disguise Technique, instantly transforming into a guard’s appearance. After smoothly exchanging shifts with the next group of guards, he swaggered into the depths of the tribe.
However, just as he stepped into the tribe, the Spiritual Light Mirror checking entries and exits automatically detected an anomaly and emitted a sharp warning sound.
"Who goes there?!" the patrolling soldiers of the Cloud Seagull Tribe shouted loudly, quickly surrounding Shangguan Li.
Shangguan Li’s heart tightened, but he feigned calmness on the surface: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am a regular guard on duty, this Spiritual Light Mirror must have made a mistake."
"Our tribe’s Spiritual Light Mirror has stood here for hundreds of years without any issues. You are clearly a person from a foreign race daring to sneak into our Cloud Seagull Tribe, courting death! Brothers, attack!" A soldier shouted angrily, thrusting his spear with the speed of lightning toward Shangguan Li’s forehead.
"Ignorant of life and death!"
Shangguan Li’s eyes grew cold.
Who would have thought this Cloud Seagull Tribe still had a Spiritual Light Mirror capable of identifying outsiders.
He snorted coldly at once.
With a wave of his Sword Point.
Three strands of Sword Qi, swift as lightning, swept past the necks of the charging soldiers. The three were merely in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, no match for the Purple Mansion, their lower halves still in motion while their splendid heads had already rolled off.
Buzz!
At the same time.
The Tier Three Mountain Protection Array of the Cloud Seagull Tribe instantly activated at full speed. Gleaming streaks of Spirit Light formed solid defenses, trapping Shangguan Li inside the Array.
"Hmph, a puny Tier Three Low-Grade Array, wanting to confine me? In your dreams!"
Shangguan Li had long predicted that this would happen.
Immediately, he slapped his storage bag.
With a flash of Dawn Light.
A Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman ignited with a buzz, lightning-fast falling into the light shield.
Rumble!
Sparks flew.
The Mountain Protection Array was instantly broken!
Simultaneously.
Shangguan Li fiercely waved his sleeve, releasing the Tier Three Cloud Spirit Beast. The beast, massive in stature, exuded powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations, roaring as it charged at the soldiers closing in.
The Cloud Seagull Tribe soldiers, upon seeing this, all rose to resist.
"Kill!" a soldier shouted, the cold gleam of his long sword cutting toward the Cloud Spirit Beast. The beast nimbly dodged the attack, then opened its gaping mouth and breathed a Spiritual Power flame, sweeping toward the soldiers.
The soldiers hurriedly cast Defense Techniques, resisting the Cloud Spirit Beast’s attack. In an instant, blazes flared skyward, Spiritual Power waves surged, and the entire Cloud Seagull Tribe plunged into chaos.
Shangguan Li, however, did not hesitate at all, resembling a streak of black lightning darting toward the Array Hall.
Inside the Array Hall at this time, only the Chief Cloud Seagull and three Elders remained, all with Half-step Purple Mansion Cultivation. The Array glowed, Spiritual Power surged, filled with an atmosphere of utmost tension.
Shangguan Li stood outside the hall, his eyes cold:
"Old Cloud Seagull, if you’re wise, surrender quickly. I can still spare the women and children of your tribe, otherwise....."
"Hmph, I want to see whose luck runs out today, yours or mine,"
With that said.
The four exchanged a glance.
Standing at different profound positions, their hands swiftly made signs. With the four enveloped in bright light, their Spiritual Power intertwined and merged, forming a mysterious Rune Array around them. In an instant, their combined cultivation aura surged skyward, reaching straight toward the Purple Mansion Realm, a powerful pressure spreading.
Shangguan Li’s brow furrowed, feeling the powerful aura. Although slightly apprehensive, a sinister smile remained on his face. He shouted:
"In that case, don’t blame me for wiping out your entire clan!"
While speaking.
He once again produced a Forbidden-Breaking Talisman.
The Array Hall’s Array was instantly blown apart.
At the same time.
Shangguan Li immediately cast the "Spirit Flame Breaking Dome" Spirit Technique.
Boom!
A blazing Spirit Flame burst forth from his hand, like a roaring giant beast of flames, sweeping toward Chief Cloud Seagull and the others. Wherever the flame passed, the space twisted and deformed, emitting a "sizzling" sound.
Chief Cloud Seagull, seeing this, dared not be negligent.
He raised both hands high, chanting ancient spells, and summoned the Cloud Seagull Tribe’s Clan Treasure—the "Spiritual Abyss Jade Cauldron."
The jade cauldron hovered in mid-air, emitting gentle and mysterious light. Covered in countless ancient runes, with the Chieftain’s urging, the runes flashed, and a brilliant Spirit Light shot out from the jade cauldron, meeting the surging Spirit Flame head-on.
Boom!
When the Spirit Flame and Spirit Light collided, they exploded in dazzling brilliance, like two massive stars colliding. The immense shockwave caused the entire Array Hall to shake violently, cracks appearing on the ground, with dust flying.
Seeing that one strike was ineffective, Shangguan Li’s eyes revealed a trace of fierce resolve.
He fiercely swung his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact—the "Shadow Soul-Devouring Halberd." The halberd, a meticulously refined treasure over the years, glowed with a cold, dark light as though containing endless power of darkness. As he swung it, the halberd cast a shadowy trail, striking toward Chief Cloud Seagull and the others with lightning speed.
"Screech!"
Yet at the critical moment.
The elders of the Cloud Seagull Tribe swiftly joined forces to create a defensive light curtain.
The Shadow Soul-Devouring Halberd stabbed into it.
The curtain shimmered with multicolored light, like a sturdy barricade, barely fending off the blow.
