Chapter 640: Lion King Solomon [Second Update]
Li Xiaoyao's fishing boat, its coal almost burned out, was less powerful than the others and soon fell behind.
But Li Xiaoyao was not in a hurry. Returning earlier or later made no difference to him.
...
On the island, the cultivators and spirit attachers were all standing anxiously on the shore, straining their eyes and praying for the early return of their elders.
The sudden emergence of the Rakshasa Sect had left them somewhat at a loss.
Some others took out satellite phones to contact their respective forces and report the situation.
"They're back, they're back!" Someone on the shore suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately looked up and, sure enough, they saw a line of fishing boats swiftly approaching the island.
In a certain area of the island, Xia Li, who had sneakily returned, also couldn't help but look over upon hearing the commotion.
Qiushui's beautiful eyes scanned over the fishing boats and, feeling puzzled, did not spot Li Xiaoyao.
"Could something have happened?"
The fishing boats quickly returned to the shore, and the more sensitive and observant among the crowd quickly noticed something was amiss.
It seemed that the number of fishing boats that had returned was significantly fewer.
Disciples of the Hehuan Sect looked left and right but didn't see Qi Tianhe, and couldn't help but inquire to the other sects, "Why hasn't my Hehuan Sect's elder returned?"
The person glancing at him with a weird expression was about to speak when disciples from the Long Family and Luo Family also came forward to ask, "Why hasn't the elder of my Long Family come back either?"
"They're dead," the person said with a look of pity, speaking faintly.
"Dead?"
The few were stunned, frozen for several seconds.
People around, who heard the news, also paused in shock.
The Hehuan Sect, Long Family, Luo Family—any of these were part of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, yet all had perished in the Secret Realm?
"Is that Secret Realm so terrifying?" a disciple from the Hehuan Sect asked, swallowing hard, his voice quivering slightly.
The person shook his head, saying, "It's unrelated to the Secret Realm. They provoked the Li Family and were killed by Li Xiaoyao of the Li Family."
After speaking, the person turned and left, having no desire to get overly involved in this mess. Li Xiaoyao, the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country—it was all more than he dared to provoke.
"Li Xiaoyao?" The few were again taken aback for several seconds, then angrily said, "How dare he kill my Hehuan Sect's elder?"
The Long Family and Luo Family disciples were also furious, but they had not lost their reason.
What they needed to understand now was exactly how Li Xiaoyao had killed their elders.
A short distance away, a few elders of the Spirit Attacher's Guild were gathered together discussing matters. Hearing the commotion here, they frowned, "The quality of the people from Xuan Country is really poor. Do they think they own this island? It's just a bunch of trash making all this racket."
"Great Elder, look over there," Korr said, pointing at a stout foreigner disembarking from a ship, "That is Solomon the Lion King, said to be a B-level Spirit Attacher and a disciple from under the seat of the Hell King of the Northern Alliance."
The Great Elder turned to look and saw a tall foreigner with long, slightly curled, blond hair and a beard, his appearance indeed having much in common with his moniker, the Lion King.
"With Lion King's formidable strength, if we ask for his help to deal with that kid, the kid won't stand a chance!" Korr said.
The Great Elder was tempted, saying, "That's a feasible plan, Korr, go and tell the Lion King that if he is willing to lend a hand, our Spirit Attacher's Guild will definitely be grateful."
Korr quickly got up, his face alight with joy, "Leave it to me."
Korr hurried towards Solomon the Lion King, his mind filled with the thrilling scene of the Lion King striking to kill Li Xiaoyao.
"Mr. Solomon!" Korr hastened to the Lion King's side and cautiously called out.
Standing at over 1.8 meters, Korr still looked like a child next to the Lion King.
The Lion King was a good two heads taller than him, at least two meters in height, his massive frame resembling a moving humanoid tank.
The Lion King slowly turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, saying, "Who are you?"
Korr quickly replied, "I am Korr, a Fire Spirit Attacher from the Ireland Spirit Attacher's Guild. I've seen Mr. Solomon before."
"Hmm, what do you need?" Solomon asked casually.
Korr said, "It's like this. I would like to ask Mr. Solomon for a favor. As compensation, our guild can grant Mr. Solomon a request."
"A favor?" Solomon seemed intrigued; if it wasn't too troublesome, he might not mind helping. After all, the favor of the Fire Spirit Attachers Guild could prove useful in the future.
"Let's hear it; what do you need me to do."
Korr replied, "What Mr. Solomon needs to do is quite simple, help us deal with someone."
"Who?"
"Allow me to keep you in suspense, Mr. Solomon. Rest assured, to you, that person is just a small fry." Korr said, flattering him with a smile.
The Lion King nodded and said, "Alright, just tell me when you need me to take action."
Having received a definite answer from the Lion King, Korr left excitedly and returned to the guild headquarters.
"How did it go?" the Great Elder asked.
Korr said triumphantly, "Done. The Lion King has agreed to make a move."
The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good then."
Not far away, Xia Li sat anxiously behind a large rock, staring into the distance.
"Master said he would arrive this afternoon; it should be soon." Xia Li's fists were clenched tightly; the power that Li Xiaoyao had displayed today truly frightened her.
Out at sea in the direction of the Secret Realm, a fishing boat appeared in everyone's sight, slowly making its way towards the island.
The Long Family, Luo Family, and Hehuan Sect had already found out about the series of events that had taken place in the Secret Realm.
When they learned that Li Xiaoyao had single-handedly slaughtered their Sect Elders, they were both angry and incredulous. Then, upon hearing that even the disciples of the Rakshasa Sect had been killed by Li Xiaoyao, a trace of fear was added to their feelings.
An Ancient Sect like the Rakshasa Sect, how powerful was it?
Trained in spells from a young age, even if ordinary Cultivators had higher Cultivation Levels, they would still likely not match them in combat.
And yet, such powerful beings had been killed by Li Xiaoyao?
Had Li Xiaoyao's strength become so formidable?
They no longer talked about seeking vengeance on Li Xiaoyao but instead contacted their Sects immediately, waiting for their people to arrive.
"It's that Cultivator from Xuan Country! They've returned!" In a grassy area, the Lion King and several others sat on the ground, squinting far into the distance they noticed the fishing boat that Li Xiaoyao was on, approaching the shore.
Previously, just outside the Secret Realm's waters, he had personally witnessed Li Xiaoyao's might.
Before today, although he knew Xuan Country harbored many powerful Cultivators, he hadn't paid much attention, believing they were all so-so. Today, he finally understood just how terrifying Cultivators from Xuan Country could be.
Of course, there are also powerful Spirit Attachers in other countries; if compared to the strongest among them, those from other countries might not necessarily be inferior to the Cultivators from Xuan Country.
