Chapter 329: Sweeping and Cleaning

Chapter 329: Sweeping and Cleaning

Xiao Ze returned to the Serpent Empire with Medusa. Medusa took care of the Serpent Empire's affairs, leaving Xiao Ze free. Feeling something in his heart, he headed to the depths of the desert.

In the deep desert, the scorching sun burned, the temperature was so high that the air looked distorted, and there was no trace of water elements.

Xiao Ze's figure appeared silently, and his gaze focused on a particular point. Revisiting this place, his strength was no longer that of a Battle Emperor.

With the perception of a Battle Lord, he could clearly detect that there was a spatial seal here.

"No wonder the spatial seal left by a Battle Saint wasn't visible before. Although I knew there was an Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm here, it was like it was covered by a dense fog, impossible to see clearly."

Being able to feel the existence of the seal, he naturally had a way to break it.

However, Xiao Ze had also inherited many combat techniques from the Ocean Saint and considered himself a half-disciple of his.

The seal arranged by the Ocean Saint was not something that could be violently broken.

Xiao Ze thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something the spirit of the Ocean Saint had told him before.

This seal not only preserved the existence of the Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm but also absorbed the surrounding water elements to maintain the Illusory Sea.

With this in mind, Xiao Ze activated his energy, and the deep desert region, originally without any trace of water, began to rapidly moisten.

The abundant presence of water made the temperature drop a bit, but since Xiao Ze's energy wasn't ice-based, he couldn't lower the temperature quickly, leaving the place warm and humid.

Xiao Ze paid no attention to the change in the environment, instead focusing on the spot where the seal was.

As expected, the water was slowly absorbed by the seal. In Xiao Ze's eyes appeared a golden-green glow, quickly finding a weak point in the seal.

Xiao Ze covered his body with a layer of light blue energy and, in a flash, threw himself against the seal.

In the next instant, the landscape in front of Xiao Ze changed, and when it cleared again, he was already inside the Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm.

Xiao Ze slowly descended onto the illusory sea surface, waiting silently for a moment, but the spirit of the Ocean Saint did not appear as expected.

"It seems the Ocean Saint is truly gone..."

Xiao Ze only had a faint hope that there might be some residual power of the Ocean Saint in the Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm.

"Apart from those with special lineages, who can reach the level of Battle Saint without being an absolute genius? But even a genius like him couldn't escape death..."

Xiao Ze sighed, looking once more at the Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm, before deciding to leave.

Now the Illusory Sea was not of much use to him, and the energy it contained couldn't significantly enhance his power even if he absorbed it completely.

Additionally, he didn't want to destroy this hard-to-form Illusory Sea Spiritual Realm.

Returning to the Serpent Temple, Medusa had been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing him, she quickly approached.

"Xiao Ze, I thought you had left earlier." Medusa sighed in relief upon seeing him.

"If I have an agreement, I usually don't break it. Have you finished with the matters?" Xiao Ze asked, smiling.

Medusa nodded slightly. "With four elders assisting, the Serpent Empire should be able to stabilize."

"After all, I've been away from the Serpent Empire for years. In terms of handling affairs, they are more experienced."

"What I need to do is avenge my people," Medusa said, a hint of killing intent in her eyes.

"For precaution, I'll leave a puppet here." Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment and took out a Celestial Demon Phoenix puppet.

With his current strength, the Celestial Demon Phoenix puppet wasn't of much use to him, and leaving it in the Serpent Empire would not pose any problem.

Moreover, the puppet had roots from the Origin Tree, allowing him to monitor the Serpent Empire's situation at all times.

Medusa hesitated for a moment. "Wouldn't it be better for you to keep it?"

"It's not necessary. Now this puppet is not of much use to me."

Medusa looked at Xiao Ze's serious expression, and her gaze softened a bit. "Alright, as you say."

Then, Medusa summoned the four elders, explained about the Celestial Demon Phoenix puppet, and then followed Xiao Ze back to the Black-Corner Region.

...

Black-Corner Region.

Most of the Yun Lan Sect's forces had gathered here, and even Yun Shan had personally gone to the front of the expansion war.

Yun Shan was well aware of the Black-Corner Region's situation and knew how difficult it was to conquer this place.

Although Yun Shan had become bloodthirsty and cruel due to the Soul and Body Devouring technique, he understood the importance of information.

Therefore, while expanding his territories, he also actively gathered information from the surrounding empires and regions.

And every new piece of information about the Black-Corner Region caused him unease.

Although most of the forces in the Black-Corner Region were mere disorganized groups, some needed to be taken seriously.

Like the Dark Alliance, which had recently destroyed the Black Alliance with overwhelming force.

The news about the Black Alliance's destruction was so confusing that Yun Shan couldn't understand it clearly.

It seemed like someone was deliberately spreading false information, as he had received more than a dozen different versions about the Black Alliance's fall.

But now, the arrow was already on the bow and couldn't be pulled back.

Yun Shan knew well the dangerous situation the Yun Lan Sect was in.

It was like driving an out-of-control carriage on the edge of a cliff.

In the carriage were many people who, like him, had practiced the Soul and Body Devouring technique.

These people were like caged beasts, and if he didn't satisfy their appetite, they would undoubtedly devour him.

In this situation, Yun Shan was almost forced to continue the expansion war to prevent these beasts from causing trouble within the Yun Lan Clan's territory.

This was the reason why Yun Shan had sent most of his forces to the expansion front, to keep those restless individuals at bay.

"Master, the expansion war in the Black-Corner Region is in full swing. We are sweeping everything in our path, no force can stop us," said a handsome man in a black robe with blood-red hair, licking his lips with a red gleam in his eyes.

Yun Shan nodded with satisfaction but suddenly froze. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a broken soul plaque appeared in his hand.

Yun Shan, who had practiced the Soul and Body Devouring technique, knew well the dangers of this object.

That's why, before leaving the Yun Lan Clan's headquarters, he took the soul plaques of the guard personnel to monitor their situation.

But now, the broken soul plaque was something he hadn't anticipated.

The blood-red-haired man was stunned. "Master, is this an elder's soul plaque?"

Yun Shan's face was gloomy. He threw the broken plaque on the table, and with a gesture, many broken soul plaques appeared.

"It seems the Yun Lan Sect headquarters has fallen."
