Chapter 1603: Chapter 55: All Heroes of the World Now Gather in My Net

Heavenly River Sea, Lingye Island.

A big fish rides the waves.

The weather of the Heavenly River Sea is extremely variable, and at the same time the weather in different sea regions is entirely different.

When leaving Qingcang Island, it was a cloudless clear sky, but as they approached Lingye Island, the weather turned dark, and it seemed that a storm was imminent.

The drumbeat swept across the vast sea, rising up, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian stood on the back of the Longevity Whale, as small as a drop of water.

"The weather’s not good..." Zang Xiaojian muttered, instinctively a bit worried.

Migration requires choosing good weather, which is almost everyone’s consensus.

"Drum~" The Longevity Whale Drum let out a joyful long hum, as if responding to Zang Xiaojian’s mutters.

Zang Xiaojian suddenly realized.

Fish swim at shallow depths.

Not to mention storms, even tsunamis are just stimulating small waves to the Longevity Whale.

The long hum of the Drum also alarmed the creatures on Lingye Island.

This island, which not long ago was attacked by the Demon Race, had its perimeter refined, dispelling the thunder around the island, is now in a state of full alert, the wind and grass all seem suspicious.

The commotion caused by the Longevity Whale riding the waves was so great that if unnoticed, it would be too negligent.

As the island masters, Cang Xiu and Ming Yu had been very tense these days, constantly vigilant against another possible attack from the Demon Race, and upon hearing the commotion of the Longevity Whale, they rushed out to investigate.

"Dad, Mom!" Zang Xiaojian saw her parents and excitedly waved to Cang Xiu and Ming Yu.

The originally solemn expression on the two faces relaxed upon hearing their daughter’s voice, and seeing Zang Xiaojian on the back of the big fish, their hearts also eased.

Only then did Cang Xiu belatedly react, looking with disapproval at Lu Qingshan standing next to his daughter—didn’t he tell this lad to take my daughter back to Heavenly River City first? Why did he bring her back again?

Just knew this lad wasn’t reliable!

While Cang Xiu was still grumbling about Lu Qingshan in his mind, Zang Xiaojian had already rushed over excitedly, shaking his arm and saying, "Dad, this is Drum, with its help, everyone on Lingye Island can safely leave Heavenly River Sea."

"Drum?" The information in Zang Xiaojian’s words was substantial, causing Cang Xiu to temporarily put aside his many thoughts and squint his eyes to look at the sea down below at the enormous "fish" that only revealed a small part of its body.

"Drum is the Longevity Whale..." Without waiting for Cang Xiu to ask more questions, the ever chatty Zang Xiaojian introduced the details to Cang Xiu.

At that timely moment, Lu Qingshan hung in the air and did not interrupt, allowing Zang Xiaojian to tell the story herself.

"Xiaojian... is she telling the truth?" After Zang Xiaojian finished speaking, the greatly shocked Cang Xiu looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.

Qi Butian had long anticipated this; the Wind Clan cultivators themselves venerated the Longevity Whale, so they accepted Drum’s existence well.

But Cang Xiu was incredibly ’earthy,’ not only was it his first time seeing such a Spirit Beast as the Longevity Whale, it was his first time hearing of its existence.

"At this moment, the Wind Clan cultivators along with Qingcang Island creatures temporarily reside within Gulong Realm," Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, "The Gulong Realm is vast, in a short time not only can it accommodate a Qingcang Island, but adding you and a Lingye Island is more than enough."

"Master of the Zang Clan, I have come this time to help migrate your Lingye Island to Sky Dome Heaven, don’t know if the Master of the Zang Clan is willing?" He cupped his fist towards Cang Xiu. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ming Yu looked at Lu Qingshan, with unusual brilliance in her eyes.

"You really don’t boast." Cang Xiu froze for a moment, recalling Lu Qingshan’s recent promise to solve the migration issue, at that time, he was skeptical, but didn’t expect Lu Qingshan to prove himself so quickly, in a way he hadn’t foreseen at all.

Feeling deeply within, he returned the salute with a fist wrapped in the palm, "The Human Race is willing to shelter our Lingye Island, then I, Zang, am naturally more than eager."

At this moment, Cang Xiu was very courteous, because in this matter, he wasn’t treating Lu Qingshan as a friend of his daughter, but as a representative of the Human Race, in an equal dialogue.

"Lingye Island has long been prepared for migration, can set off at any time." Cang Xiu added.

Before departing, Lu Qingshan had urged Cang Xiu to mobilize the island’s cultivators and people for migration preparation early; though he was skeptical, he wouldn’t act foolishly, had been prepared all along and was ready to depart at any time.

"That’s great." Lu Qingshan said satisfied.

Although the existence of the Longevity Whale made migration exceptionally easy, the Heavenly River Sea still isn’t a safe place, and the longer one stays, the more likely there will be unforeseen troubles, it’s always good to leave sooner.

......

With the prior experience of Qingcang Island, plus Cang Xiu’s prior preparations, the transfer of Lingye Island was incredibly smooth.

It took less than half a day, and all the creatures of Lingye Island had entered the Gulong Realm, meeting the Qingcang Island creatures who had been in the realm for several days.

Cang Xiu and Ming Yu turned back once more to look at Lingye Island, a place where the Zang family had lived for generations, their eyes flickered with faint reluctance, but were filled with unwavering determination.

"Let’s go," Cang Xiu said to Lu Qingshan.

Home is hard to leave behind, but nothing is more important than human life.

Staying here will surely lead to death; no matter how reluctant, it must be left.

"Master of the Zang Clan, Lady Ming, the two of you should enter the Gulong Realm first, we still need to head to Yue Hua Island to retrieve the Li Clan." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, addressing Cang Xiu and Ming Yu.

Cang Xiu and Ming Yu exchanged glances, then nodded without saying much else, swiftly leaping into Drum’s air opening, entering the Gulong Realm.

Thereafter, at Lu Qingshan’s signal, the Longevity Whale sank back into the Heavenly River Sea, soon disappearing.

......

After half an hour, the long cloudy weather finally turned completely dark, strong winds and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, drenching the now deserted Lingye Island.

Amidst the thunderstorm sounds, several plumes of black energy rolled in, stopping outside Lingye Island, looking at the lifeless Lingye Island in disbelief.

"Hurry, report to the Supreme, the Zang Clan is escaping!"

They are demonic cultivators left by the Evil Venerable to monitor Lingye Island when retreating, having just noticed the commotion here, but dared not approach due to Cang Xiu’s intimidation.

The demonic cultivators know that the direction the Zang Clan is fleeing likely leads to the Human Race’s Sky Dome Heaven.

The Evil Venerable personally led his subordinates on an expedition, attempting to eliminate dissenters, but instead pushed the originally neutral Zang Clan towards the Human Race.

This is very serious; if this matter really ends up like this, it’s unimaginable how furious the Supremes would be.

The only consolation is that the Heavenly River Sea is vast; even though that fish, which astonished them, carrying the spirits of Lingye Island has left, it is still far from reaching the end at Heavenly River City.

The Demon Race’s communication means are very prompt.

Here, in the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan, the Evil Venerable is in closed-door cultivation.

Lu Qingshan’s seventeen Heavenly Punishments inflicted him with significant injuries, requiring time to heal, or else it would only worsen.

Therefore, during this period, he has been recovering Element Qi and hasn’t rushed to take action against Lingye Island.

In his view, you may escape the monk but cannot escape the temple; if the Zang Clan intended to leave, they would have already left when the Demon Race army withdrew, and any action now is too late.

If the Zang Clan couldn’t abandon the foundation of Lingye Island, then there is no hurry at this moment; the Zang Clan could hardly move the entire island.

According to common logic, the Evil Venerable’s judgment and choice are very reasonable.

But an extraordinary event occurred.

"An entire island’s spirits fleeing on a fish; are you kidding me?"

The temporarily out-of-retreat Evil Venerable had a sullen face as he stared at the reporting demonic cultivator, suspecting them of mocking his intelligence.

"It’s information from the monitoring people on that side; I’ve confirmed repeatedly that it is true.

That big fish was indiscriminate, swallowing all Lingye Island’s spirits into its belly and then submerged into Heavenly River Sea, vanishing,"

Under the immense pressure emitted by the Evil Venerable, sweat dripped down his subordinate’s forehead, trembling as he argued.

"A large fish that can accommodate an entire island’s spirits," the Evil Venerable’s face grew increasingly dreadful, feeling it’s too absurd, "That’s Lingye Island, even if my Demon Race army slaughters half, the remaining spirits can’t be less than millions, if not billions!"

The reporting demonic cultivator almost cried; he knew this was too outrageous for the Evil Venerable to believe, but the message from below left him no choice but to report, truly finding himself in a speechless, unexplainable predicament.

During his struggle, another demonic cultivator rushed in from outside, "Evil Venerable, something terribly wrong, Qingcang Island has disappeared!"

"Disappeared?!" The Evil Venerable’s pupils expanded, almost dropping his jaw in shock, "What’s going on?"

"According to our investigations, Qingcang Island’s spirits first vanished on a big fish, then Qingcang Island itself experienced an earth-shattering earthquake, permanently submerging into Heavenly River Sea before vanishing." The demonic cultivator swallowed hard.

"Vanished... on a big fish?" Hearing this excessively absurd news again, the Evil Venerable finally restrained his expression, beginning to believe internally, "Is it the same fish?"

The nervous demonic cultivator beside him instantly shot a grateful glance at his companion.

"Yes, a fish so enormous that it was incomparable, not knowing where it came from, its size comparable to a small domain."

Even someone of Evil Venerable’s stature was completely stunned at this moment.

Living for so many years, he had never heard of such a colossal "fish."

This spirit beast, barely known in the Sky Dome Heaven, existing in legends, was understandably unfamiliar to the Abyss Demon Venerable.

"Search, go search, immediately dispatch forces to investigate, they can’t be allowed to escape just like that!" The Evil Venerable couldn’t care less about what kind of fish it was, raging furiously.

He couldn’t tolerate the Wind and Zang Clans slipping out of his grasp right under his nose.

In the Evil Venerable’s eyes, these two clans were like meat he was about to consume.

Whoever wanted to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth would have to pay a price.

......

While the Evil Venerable was raging furiously in the Royal Palace, Lu Qingshan had already picked up the Li Clan as well.

——On the Li Clan side, Qi Butian had long prepared the negotiations and communication, promising a rich region to compensate the Li Clan.

Additionally, the Li Clan’s private relationship with Chu Mu and their longstanding alliance with the Human Race made them promptly agree to migrate their entire clan to Sky Dome Heaven.

Lu Qingshan still stood on the back of the Longevity Whale, much more empowered compared to the time of arrival.

Because at this moment the Gulong Realm contained the three major Longevity Clans, besides the long-committed alliance with the Li Clan, there were also the previously neutral Wind and Zang Clans.

Upon leaving Heavenly River City, Lu Qingshan intended to bring both the Wind and Zang Clans under his control, but he knew it would be very difficult, and even pulling in one clan was commendable.

Lu Qingshan never expected that in the end, he could truly achieve "all heroes in the world gathered under my control."

Especially the Zang Clan.

With countless swordsmiths, the Zang Clan particularly appealed to Lu Qingshan as a Sword Sect Master, planning to take them to the Eastern Domain.

Not to mention the Zang Clan’s Family Head, Cang Xiu, with surprisingly formidable combat power that could rival Evil Venerable in a fight, an enormous supplement to the Sword Sect which had felt the lack of high-level combat power after the Central Spirit battle.

"Alright, this ends here," Lu Qingshan clapped his hands, feeling a bit excited himself, and excitedly said to the Whale: "We’re ready to go back; the destination is Heavenly River City!"

The whale’s cry suddenly echoed, filled with joy.

The Whale and Lu Qingshan were equally joyful.

Though its joy stemmed from finally ending the "rushing scene."

The rotund Longevity Whale swung its whale tail, creating layers of ripples, sliding forward thousands of miles, quickly swimming forward in the Heavenly River Sea.
