Tang Jie flew forward. To be honest, he was very angry at this time. He wasn't angry at others, but at the people above him. Tang Jie was a famous expert among the younger generation of the Hundred Treasures Realm. He was already a Severed Soul Expert. And now, he was actually asked to carry out such a mission? Attacking a middle middle realm's base was too shameful. Wasn't this clearly looking down on him? How could he be happy?
In Tang Jie's opinion, the old fogeys above him were already finished. They no longer had any ambition. Everything they did was stable. What could they do?
Just like how the Hundred Treasures Realm ordered the Xu Race to deal with the World of Cultivation. The World of Cultivation was just a mid-grade realm under the Giant Spirit Realm. Moreover, even among mid-grade realms, the Hundred Treasures Realm was still considered weak. There was no point in dealing with such a small realm. If they wanted to do something big, they would just go to the Hundred Treasures Realm and defeat the Giant Spirit Realm. When that time comes, mid-grade realms like the World of Cultivation would have no choice but to curry favor with the Hundred Treasures Realm.
This time, Tang Jie received several missions. First, he was to investigate the situation of the previous 1,000-person team. He wanted to know if all of them were dead or alive.
Second, he was to deal with the Xu Race. This time, the 1,000-person team disappeared because of the Xu Race. The Xu Race also knew about the details of the 1,000-person team. Because of this, the Xu Race couldn't be left alive.
Third, he was to eliminate the World of Cultivation. The World of Cultivation dared to go to war with the Hundred Treasures Realm. This was something that the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn't allow. Because of this, the Hundred Treasures Realm needed to eliminate the World of Cultivation. First, it was to establish their prestige. Second, they were afraid that the World of Cultivation would find out who was targeting them.
Actually, the Hundred Treasures Realm had their own reasons for dealing with the World of Cultivation. They had the Xu Race deal with the World of Cultivation and planned to silence the Xu Race afterwards. But as long as the Xu Race crippled the World of Cultivation, the Hundred Treasures Realm would use this opportunity to spread rumors that the Giant Spirit Realm didn't help. In short, they wanted to destroy the Giant Spirit Realm's reputation.
At that time, the people from the subordinate realms of the Giant Spirit Realm would be tempted. The reason why the subordinate realms submitted to the higher realms was because they were no match for the higher realms. The second reason was to seek protection. If the higher realms couldn't protect them, they would naturally have to think of other ways.
To put it bluntly, the World of Cultivation was just an unlucky bastard that the Hundred Treasures Realm casually picked. They were specifically used to annoy the Giant Spirit Realm. The Hundred Treasures Realm already had a follow-up plan. As long as their plan succeeds, the subordinate realms of the Giant Spirit Realm would become part of the Hundred Treasures Realm in a short period of time. When the time comes, even the World of Cultivation would submit to them. It was precisely because of this plan that the weapons that the Hundred Treasures Realm sent out were the glaives.
The glaive was a heavy weapon that the Giant Spirit Realm liked to use. The Hundred Treasures Realm had their people use the glaive because they wanted to frame the World of Cultivation.
Originally, this plan was very well arranged. In their view, the World of Cultivation was completely unprepared. If the World of Cultivation fell into the trap of the Xu Race, then it would be tantamount to cutting off their roots. When necessary, they would send some people to help the Xu Race. This way, the World of Cultivation would be crippled.
Then they would find an excuse to help the World of Cultivation eliminate the Xu Race. At the same time, they would silence the World of Cultivation and use the Xu Race as a scapegoat. Then they would launch their plan to spread rumors and capture the subordinate realms in the shortest time possible. Although these subordinate realms didn't seem to be very strong, as long as they work together, they would become a force that couldn't be underestimated.
Most importantly, through this matter, the Hundred Treasures Realm would be able to attack the Giant Spirit Realm's reputation. When the time comes, the Giant Spirit Realm's prestige would be damaged and the subordinate realms would be disloyal. This would be the best time for the Hundred Treasures Realm to attack the Giant Spirit Realm.
The Hundred Treasures Realm and the Giant Spirit Realm had fought many times, but they didn't manage to gain any advantage. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. The hatred between the two realms had long been engraved deep into their bones. It was simply impossible to clean it up. Because of this, the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't plan to deal a heavy blow to the Giant Spirit Realm.
However, the people from the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't expect their perfect plan to be destroyed by Zhao Hai. A single person was able to destroy their plan. This was something that the people of the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't expect.
Because their plan was destroyed, the Hundred Treasures Realm had no choice but to change their plans. They dispatched 3000 people, including 50 Severed Soul Experts. They wanted to eliminate the Xu Race in one fell swoop. Then they would turn around and destroy the World of Cultivation. After that, they would proceed with the second step of their plan.
This time, Tang Jie was sent to carry out this mission. Tang Jie was angry because of this mission. However, he didn't know that the higher-ups of the Hundred Treasures Realm valued him. Therefore, they sent him to carry out this mission.
Tang Jie didn't look for any evidence as he directly killed his way towards the Octopus Islands. Upon reaching the periphery of the islands, Tang Jie waved his hand. The cultivators from the Hundred Treasures Realm immediately dispersed and paid attention to their surroundings.
However, the surroundings were very quiet. There wasn't a single person in sight. Even so, Tang Jie didn't dare lower his guard. He knew who he was dealing with, the Xu Race. What were the Xu Race good at? Naturally, it was stealth. It was precisely because the Xu Race were good at stealth that Tang Jie was careful.
Tang Jie knew that the Xu Race were good at stealth. Therefore, he went straight to the Octopus Islands. Tang Jie knew that the Octopus Islands were a place that the Xu Race couldn't abandon. So no matter how stealthy the Xu Race were, as long as the Hundred Treasures Realm cultivators attacked the islands, the Xu Race would definitely appear.
Although the people from the Hundred Treasures Realm were very careful about their surroundings, they didn't care too much about it. They knew how strong the Xu Race were, but compared to them, the Xu Race was still far inferior.
This was the difference between a high-grade realm and a low-grade realm. Everything a high-grade realm uses is the best. Cultivation methods, defensive equipment, artifacts, pills, and so on were the best. With all of these things added up, high-grade realms are much stronger than low-grade realms. Although they were all Transcending Tribulation Experts, it was impossible for the Xu Race to defeat the Hundred Treasures Realm.
The group from the Hundred Treasures Realm slowly approached the Octopus Islands. However, they didn't encounter any attacks. This made Tang Jie nervous.
Before long, they could see the Octopus Islands. But even so, the Xu Race still didn't appear. This made Tang Jie surprised. Did the Xu Race want to put them on the island and then use the island's defensive formation to deal with them? Impossible. Generally, defensive formations would keep people outside. And the defensive artifact was the most powerful defensive formation. The Xu Race was just a medium-grade realm, so their defensive formation should be the same. It was impossible for them to not use their strongest defensive formation. Instead, they wanted to put people on the island and then beat them up. The Hundred Treasures Realm didn't have the strength to do so.
Although they were thinking about this, they weren't afraid at all. Before long, they were already close to the Octopus Islands. Tang Jie became even more careful as he looked around. If there was a guardian formation around the Octopus Islands, then after activating the formation, it should be in the vicinity of the island.
However, Tang Jie was disappointed. They still didn't encounter any attacks. The Octopus Islands were like an undefended city. They could easily enter and leave.
Before long, the people from the Hundred Treasures Realm entered the Octopus Islands. Upon entering the island, they were dumbfounded. This was because there were clear traces of battle on the island. This made Tang Jie and the others puzzled.
Tang Jie and the others received news that there was a battle not too far away from the Octopus Islands. Their clansmen participated in the battle. After the battle ended, the World of Cultivation and the Xu Race flew towards the Octopus Islands on their large artifacts. However, their clansmen had disappeared. It was precisely because of this that the Tang Jie and the others were sent here. For a thousand of their clansmen to disappear, it meant that they had encountered an accident. Tang Jie and the others didn't know what happened.
Since the World of Cultivation and the Xu Race returned to the Octopus Islands together, then it's possible that the Xu Race sold the Hundred Treasures Realm and made friends with the World of Cultivation. However, the traces of battle on the island couldn't be justified.
If the World of Cultivation and the Xu Race really formed an alliance, then there was no need for the two realms to fight. Moreover, they fought on the Octopus Islands. Were the people from the World of Cultivation really that strong? They actually dared to fight the Xu Race on the Octopus Islands?
Tang Jie carefully looked around. The damage to the Octopus Islands wasn't very serious. However, he could see that there were traces left behind by large artifacts. This made Tang Jie very puzzled.
Before the Hundred Treasures Realm used the Xu Race, they had already investigated the strength of the Xu Race. The Xu Race wasn't very strong in the medium-grade realms. They also didn't have large artifacts. It was precisely because of this that they suffered losses in the battle against the World of Cultivation.
In order to deal with the World of Cultivation's large artifacts, the Hundred Treasures Realm used three Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots to deal with the World of Cultivation's large artifacts. If the World of Cultivation really killed the 1000 people of the Hundred Treasures Realm, then their large artifacts would certainly be taken away by the World of Cultivation. Then there would be traces of large artifacts attacking each other in the Octopus Islands. What was going on here?
Tang Jie was completely confused. He couldn't figure out what happened in the Octopus Islands. In fact, it wasn't only him who couldn't figure it out, the other people from the Hundred Treasures Realm were also puzzled.
Just as Tang Jie was distressed, someone came to his side and whispered, "Senior Brother, the situation here is too strange. I think we should report the situation to the higher-ups and wait for their decision. In any case, a few hours won't make much of a difference. What do you think?"
Tang Jie sobered up and nodded. Then he looked around and immediately took out a jade sword message. His spiritual force entered it as he wrote down the situation in the Octopus Islands. At the end, he also added a sentence asking for the help of the Detective Race. Then he released the jade sword message.
After releasing the jade sword, Tang Jie immediately turned to his Junior Brother and said, "Tang Wen, have everyone look around the Octopus Islands and see if they can find any clues. Also, send a team of 500 people to the battlefield that people talked about. Strange, when we came here before, why didn't we find any traces of battle?" Tang Jie nodded and said, "Let's go and see if we can find any clues. Let's see if we can find any traces of battle."
Tang Wen nodded and said, "I'm very curious. This matter is indeed strange. I'll arrange it." Tang Jie nodded as he slowly flew around the Octopus Islands. He also wanted to find clues.
After looking for some time, Tang Jie was finally certain that there was a battle in the Octopus Islands. And the scale of this battle wasn't small.
But apart from these things, Tang Jie couldn't see anything else. This made Tang Jie very distressed. At the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure. He was a Severed Soul Expert, his spiritual force was very strong. In general, even without the help of the Detective Race, he only needed to scan the battlefield with his spiritual force to roughly know what happened.
However, this trick didn't work here. There were traces of large artifacts on the Octopus Islands. There were also energy fluctuations from the Xu Race's artifacts, the World of Cultivation's artifacts, and the other realms' artifacts. These fluctuations were mixed together in a very chaotic manner, making it impossible for people to investigate.
Tang Jie couldn't help but curse. Although he came out this time to deal with the Xu Race and the World of Cultivation, finding the 1000 people from the World of Cultivation was also the most important thing. Originally, they thought that the 1000 people were already killed. But now that the 1000 people's energy fluctuations appeared in the Octopus Islands, they couldn't help but stay in the Octopus Islands and search carefully in hopes of finding more clues.
After letting out a long breath and calming his emotions, Tang Jie could only wait and hope that the Detective Race would arrive soon. As long as the Detective Race arrives, they would be able to figure out what happened in the Octopus Islands.
Before long, Tang Wen arrived at Tang Jie's side and said, "Senior Brother, I've already arranged everything. However, the 500 people who went out didn't have any harvest. They still haven't reached the battlefield. We also didn't feel any energy fluctuations along the way. This is too strange." Tang Jie nodded.
Tang Jie nodded, then he knit his brows and said, "Logically speaking, it's impossible for this to happen. We received news that the Xu Race had joined forces with the World of Cultivation. Moreover, our people and the World of Cultivation fought outside the island. There shouldn't be any traces left on the island. Moreover, there are traces left behind by our people using artifacts. This is too strange." Tang Jie nodded, then he frowned and said, "You're right.
Tang Wen nodded and said, "It's very abnormal. There's a very strange aura here. Senior Brother, I think we should be more careful. It's best to have some people stand guard outside. At the same time, we should set up defensive formations here. This way, even if someone wants to deal with us, it wouldn't be easy."
