Chapter 239: 239: Invasion Failed Finally, after a whole week of war against the sea monsters, the human cultivators had won the battle. All sea monsters and mutated animals from the sea had retreated. The faction's ancestors, clan leaders, and bosses had returned to the shore carrying the ugly, nascent soul sea monsters Taiyang intentionally left behind. Though what they had originally killed cannot be compared to the ones Taiyang had killed, it can still be considered a good haul for each faction. It was agreed on the way that those sea monsters who were killed as a group would be split evenly. Those that were killed individually will be taken by the one who killed them. As for the ones killed by Taiyang, since it was intentionally left behind, clearly it was left for them. The ancestors of the Xia Clan agreed to share half of it with everyone. When the leaders had returned to the shore, the reinforcements led by State Leader Long Juedi and Cultivator Ling Wen were helping those who died in the battle. There aren't many injured people in the group as Yue Xuexia cures them with her divine skills. It was also for this reason that she had overused her qi once again. Death cannot be avoided, though. The scene of those who lost someone important to them was gathering around the corpse of their loved one, senior brothers and sisters, juniors, and even elders. In war, no matter what is done, death cannot be avoided. The lower number of deaths was all Yue Xuexia could do in that situation. She had done her best to save as many as she could. After all, even though she is a divine doctor, reviving the dead is not something she can do. When the seniors returned to the shore, dragging dead sea monsters with them, everyone knew they had won and cheered. Xia Lianyu, after checking on his descendants and telling the Yue sister not to worry about their elder sister, returned to gather the other faction leaders and made an announcement for rewards. A temporary stage was made at the shore, and the leaders of each faction had gathered together. "The sea monsters had been defeated and won't be coming to the land for hundreds of years. They had also agreed with not targeting the mortals passing through the territories for the cultivators; as long as you don't start a fight against them, they won't target you as you fly over the seas," said Xia Lianyu. Long Huangdi said, "Everyone has done well. Even though we suffered some losses, in the end, we successfully defended our lands and homes. Everyone protected their families and country. All of you are heroes of this war!" "All of us leaders believed that everyone had done well, and for the rewards, we will butcher and cook a few edible Nascent Soul realm sea monsters for everyone," said Tan Huangyu. First Elder Xiao of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall said, "Everyone knows that the flesh and blood of the mutated animals are full of energy capable of helping one to break through to another level. But I hope no one would be greedy to eat what he can't digest. Overeating an energy-filled sea monster flesh would make one explode, so be earned." "The elders should oversee the young ones, especially those who are hard-headed thinking that they can't eat more. After sending the ones who perished, we shall begin the celebration," said Fu Wanyi. Among those in the crowd who cried, there were those who cheered, and various emotions had come out collectively this time. Their comrades' bodies were cremated, and everyone had sent them away. After a few hours of solemnness, the chefs who were summoned started cooking. Some of these people are the ones who had learned cooking techniques from Yue Xuexia before. They are now able to suppress as much energy from the dishes they make. Though it wasn't as perfect as Yue Xuexia's cooking, at least the flesh and blood of the sea monsters that entered the list to be cooked was done well. People gathered in groups and surrounded the bonfire; they started themselves. After waiting for a few hours, the dishes were finally brought to the group. There are at least four buffet tables. One for Qi refinement stage cultivators, one for Foundation realm cultivators, one for Innateness realm cultivators, one for golden core cultivators, and a table for the leaders of each faction. They were divided into realms, as the intake of their food could be limited to their realms. The food wasn't their mission reward, so everyone enjoyed it to the fullest. On that night, a lot of human cultivators from the mortal realm had broken through, and it was done collectively, leaving those who had witnessed it bewildered. There are some troublemakers who didn't hold back themselves. They ended up suffering from nosebleeds after eating too much and fainted. Once the doctors checked on them, the result of the check was that they were overnourished and needed to spend as much energy to resolve it. Thus, those who fainted were forced to wake up and get beaten by their friends and elders to help them digest the energy inside of them. Having no choice but to go back home covered in bumps and bruises as a result of their greediness. On the other hand, at the table of the leaders, they were eating well with the dishes made from the nascent soul sea monster's flesh and blood. During the meal, there is also some kind of conversation between these seniors. The Assassin Queen spoke up, "Senior Xia~ the promise of your granddaughter. You will fulfill it, right?" "Of course. As promised, I will give you one corpse of a Nascent Soul sea monster," said Xia Lianyu. No one else complained as they knew that in exchange for this Nascent Soul Sea monster corpse, the life of the Assassin guild's genius was no more. Would an assassin who lost both arms still be an assassin? The answer is no. Even though they weren't envious, they felt disgusted by how the assassin guild ran itself. They treated their people as disposable items. The seniors were enjoying their meals when suddenly they felt a powerful foreign energy that passed through the barrier of their realm. Almost all of the seniors had felt it and it was even closer to the area they are in. Most seniors disappeared from the table and went to the location where the energy was gathering. There was a teleportation formation that only those from the cultivation really knew how to use. This is the common way to move through realms; it is just that one needs to have the Golden Core realm and above to activate such formation. Xia Lianyu and the other seniors waited as the transportation formation appeared above the sea. Tan Huangyu whispered to Xia Lianyu, "Lao Xia, do you think they are from the Snow Clan?" "If it is them, I will end them here and now once I've learned that their business is bothering my granddaughter!" declared Xia Lianyu. Everyone who knew the story understood the anger of Xia Lianyu. After all, it was his descendant when Yue Xuexia was only still a mortal getting targeted by some unruly bastard who got attracted to her and ended up offending the other party. It was only thanks to Taiyang and Shen Jueyang by Yue Xuexia's side that she remained unharmed. As a mortal at that time, if that man from the Xue Clan wanted to harm her and Taiyang was not with her, Yue Xuexia would most likely suffer badly. The teleportation formation glowed, and two figures came out of it. One is an old man wearing an ancient white robe with a blue snowflake imprint, and a young man wearing the same robes with blue linings at the edges appeared after the formation was activated. These two are the clan leader of the Snow Clan, Xue Xian, and his grandson, Xue Lengya. What the two didn't expect was that they would be welcomed by an entourage from the mortal realm. Almost all of the senior-ranked cultivators had gathered before them, leaving the two from the Snow Clan dumbfounded. Snow Clan Master, Xue Xian, immediately recognized a few faces among the group. Old Xue Xian spoke, "What a grand welcome. I didn't expect to see a lot of familiar faces in this place." "Xue Xian! You returned to me, my family heirloom!" shouted Tan Huangyu as he started attacking the two men. Xue Lengya tried to interfere, but his grandfather pushed him away. "Don't get involved, Leng'er!" said Xue Xian as he battled Tan Bingyu. No one else got involved with the two, and it can be said that the power of these two was almost equal. After all, Tan Huangyu greatly increased his realm with the support of his mistress's pills. Then, adding the flesh and blood of the sea monsters he had eaten before, his realm increased, and the purity of his qi got stronger. Xue Xian was stunned. "I didn't expect you to get this strong, Huangyu!" "When you ambushed my Hidden Tan Clan before killing my wife and capturing my daughter-in-law, I decided to make you pay for it!" Tan Huangyu said. The battle between the two old men got serious as more time passed. The sinister Xue Lengya wanted to sneak in an attack to injure the old man fighting his grandfather but stopped when he saw another old man appear behind him. Second Elder Yun from the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall said, "If you dare make a move, I don't mind crippling you on the spot, brat!"
