Chapter 3286: Ambushed
At this moment, the ship that belonged to the White Emperor clan sped through the mountains, crossing ridge over ridge, making its way out.
On the highest floor of the ship, in a beautifully-decorated room, Bai Yurou sat together with elder Qing.
Elder Qing was a late Godking, but she behaved with great respect before Bai Yurou.
This respect completely originated from the bottom of her heart.
“Miss, I’ve already contacted the clan through the secret technique. They’ve already prepared everything. Once we deliver the materials, they can refine the Myriad Divine Illumination pill immediately,” said elder Qing.
Bai Yurou nodded, having finally been relieved of this burden. “That’s good. Ever since the news that great-grandfather was injured was leaked, the surrounding organisations have all begun moving, wanting to overthrow our White Emperor clan and replace us. Without great-grandfather’s presence, the clan’s position is in danger.”
“But that’s not a problem anymore. The Myriad Divine Illumination pill will be refined very soon. Once great-grandfather recovers, we’ll be immovable in the imperial city again.”
Elder Qing seemed to think of something. She said hesitantly, “Miss, apart from the White Emperor, our clan has two other Primordial realm experts. Do you think they’ll develop any ulterior motives and object to the White Emperor’s recovery? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so hesitant about killing the Earthen Winged King, constantly delaying the matter.”
Hearing that, Bai Yurou’s eyes turned cold. “You’re talking about ancestor Yan and ancestor Zong. They probably don’t have the courage to do something like that. Even if they actually possessed the strength to earn the title of the White Emperor, the clan wouldn’t possess its current status if it was under their lead. The clan would only decline with each passing day.”
“Not to mention the fact that behind our White Emperor clan stands one of the nine heavenly kings of the Wood Spirits World, the Mayhemless Heavenly King. In our clan, only the ancestor’s strength can earn the attention of the Mayhemless Heavenly King.”
Elder Qing nodded, agreeing with Bai Yurou. She said in thought, “Miss, do you think that the mysterious expert who assisted us in secret is the White Emperor’s supporter, the Mayhemless Heavenly King?”
When she heard that, Bai Yurou sank into a period of silence. After quite a while, she explained her analysis. “The mysterious expert never showed himself and managed to kill two sacred beasts so easily. Even the ancestor of our White Emperor clan can’t do that, while the Mayhemless Heavenly King should be able to achieve that with his cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.”
“However, I have heard the ancestor mention some legendary chronicles regarding the Mayhemless Heavenly King, so I do have some crude understanding about him. In my knowledge, the Mayhemless Heavenly King is not skilled in the Laws of Space.”
“Don’t tell me the mysterious expert who secretly assisted us was not the Mayhemless Heavenly King?” Elder Qing furrowed her brows.
“I don’t know either!” Bai Yurou shook her head gently.
Boom!
At this moment, a tremendous rumble suddenly erupted. The ship from the White Emperor clan immediately began to disintegrate mid-air, having been ripped apart by a great power.
Immediately, everyone in the ship was exposed. Many of them were knocked about by the residual energy, with many heavily injured too, coughing up blood.
The twenty-odd Godkings of the White Emperor clan that managed to survive all flashed with light, stabilising themselves mid-air as quickly as they could. They looked around with sunken faces.
Everything in the surroundings was chaotic. The space was twisted, and their line of sight was blurred. They had all fallen into a formation.
Meanwhile, Jian Chen sat leisurely on the back of the spiritual beast. The spiritual beast was only a Saint Emperor, so its legs had given way a long time ago from fright, plummeting towards the ground in free fall.
“What’re you afraid of? It’s nothing major! Stand properly!” Jian Chen patted the spiritual beast’s head and said softly.
His voice seemed to possess a certain power. The trembling spiritual beast that had almost lost control of its bladder and bowels actually forgot about fear immediately. The energy within its body flowed before it landed on the ground firmly.
In the air, Bai Yurou stood with her sword in hand as she gave off a startling presence. She called out, “We’re from the White Emperor clan of the Void region! Who are you? How dare you trap our White Emperor clan like this! Aren’t you afraid of retribution from the White Emperor clan?”
However, they did not respond. In the next moment, the formation’s powers were activated. Vines immediately extended out from the surroundings, engulfing the people from the White Emperor clan like a blanket.
These plants primarily targeted the Godkings of the White Emperor clan. Each vine pulsed with great energy, possessing startlingly lethal power.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
Immediately, the vines pierced three Godkings. Their souls were shattered, perishing on the spot.
The remaining Godkings resisted with their full strength, but unfortunately, they were all injured. Faced with the attacks from the killing formation, half of them became heavily wounded instantly, riddled with large holes.

The power of the formation was astounding. It could easily kill late Godkings. They would stand no chance even in their prime condition, let alone now while completely exhausted. They seemed even more powerless.
“Oh no, miss. These people have probably specially come for us.” Elder Qing arrived before Bai Yurou with an extremely ugly expression.
Bai Yurou’s face had darkened as she radiated with killing intent. She bellowed out, “No matter who you are, the White Emperor clan will never spare you for targeting us!”
“Hahahaha, you’re staring death in the face, yet you’re still thinking about revenge! Bai Yurou, why don’t you survive first before you say that?” Laughter rang out from outside the formation, filled with arrogance and indifference.
When Bai Yurou heard the voice, her gaze immediately became extremely terrifying.
It was not just her. Including Chu Tianxing and elder Qing, the expressions of several Godkings of the White Emperor clan changed slightly at the same time. They exchanged glances and saw the hint of disbelief in each others’ eyes.
Why did the voice sound familiar?
“We’ll sacrifice our lives and use a forbidden technique to see if we can breach the formation. Miss Yurou, it doesn’t matter if we perish here, but you have to escape here alive,” elder Qing said sternly before immediately gathering several Godkings willing to lay down their lives.
Earlier, when they faced the two sacred beasts, the difference in their strength was far too great, so even forbidden techniques could not change the situation.
However, now that they faced a group of experts of the same cultivation, forbidden techniques had instead become their only choice after running out of all other options.
Bai Yurou’s eyes burned with hatred. She shoved aside elder Qing and turned into a sword, burning with green flames as she directly shot towards the formation like she was unstoppable.
Faced with dire straits, she also used a forbidden technique. As the green flames burned, the presence of her life rapidly diminished too.
The expressions of elder Qing and the other Godking elders immediately changed, while the clansmen below all cried out.
“Sister Yurou!” On the ground, the roughed up Bai Yueye also wailed out, wanting to fly over.
“An Overgod like you can’t interfere with a battle at their level. You’ll only sacrifice your life pointless if you rush over there rashly. You should just stay here.” Jian Chen rode in front of Bai Yueye on the spiritual beast and pressed down on her shoulder gently.
“Move! Move out of the way! Let go of me!” Bai Yueye struggled desperately. Having become frantic, she actually failed to notice that she was unable to break free from Jian Chen’s grip no matter what she did despite her strength as an Overgod.
