Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Gathering from All Sides

Translator: 549690339

The grudge between the Li Family and the Purple Mist Sect was well-known across the whole Qian Country, but nobody expected the Li Family to be so bold as to openly provoke the Purple Mist Sect and even collide their flying boat with the Purple Mist Sect’s, which was an open act of aggression.

“You losers from the Purple Mist Sect, if you dare collide with us!”

“A bunch of cowards, better scram before you disgrace yourselves any further!”

“Did the Purple Mist Sect only manage to scrape you meal bags from the bottom of the barrel?”

The Li Family disciples hurled provoking insults, leaving the Purple Mist Sect members bristling with indignant fury.

Even the middle-aged man from the Li Family was laughing uproariously, seemingly undeterred by any member of the Purple Mist Sect.

Yan Ze’s face hardened with displeasure. He didn’t expect the Li Family to be so provocative, displaying a head-on confrontational attitude.

Yet since the Li Family had gone too far, he was not going to back down either. He started maneuvering his flying boat, intent on colliding head-on with the Li Family’s flying boat.

Observing the flying boat of the Purple Mist Sect diving straight at them, the middle-aged man from the Li Family sneered coldly, and he too started controlling his flying boat to meet the Purple Mist boat for a head on collision.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

With both colossal entities colliding in the sky over and over, passengers on both boats were thrown around violently, unable to maintain their balance, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Some of the weaker Pill Sect disciples were already showing signs of seasickness, clutching the body of the flying boat, their faces as white as sheets. Some even retched.

Both Yan Ze and the middle-aged man from the Li Family stood their ground ruthlessly, disregarding the people’s discomfort, deciding they would defeat the other, come what may.

However, since each flying boat was enveloped by an array, it was not a direct collision of the hulls instead it was a clash between the arrays.

“Both of you should cease this meaningless behavior,” the Xuan Prince, Yang Hongyi, intervened.

Upon hearing these words, Yan Ze, being the more rational of the two, held back from ramming his boat again into the Li Family’s flying boat.

But the middle-aged man from the Li Family took advantage of this, giving the Purple Mist Sect’s flying boat another strong hit.

“You!” Yan Ze was enraged.

Yang Hongyi controlled the Imperial flying boat to move closer to the Purple Mist Sect’s flying boat, forming a pincer attack on the Li Family’s flying boat.

Yang Hongyi’s face was also darkened. He had already advised both parties to stop, but the Li Family acted provocatively once more, clearly treating him, Yang Hongyi, with contempt.

“Li Changhai, are you challenging both of us with this act?” Yang Hongyi asked coldly, his royal background and their readiness to fight were evident.

The Li Family showed no courtesy to the royalty. Li Changhai retorted coldly, “What? Are you siding with the Purple Mist Sect? Planning to join hands against the Li Family.”

Yang Hongyi snorted heavily, “We are all here for the Endless Dungeon. Yet, you are picking a fight intentionally. Do you really think that we, the royalty, dare not act against the Li Family?”

“If you want to fight, then fight. My Li Family fears nothing.” Li Changhai was far from being intimidated. In fact, he was overly assertive.

His response surprised both Yang Hongyi and Yan Ze. What is wrong with Li Changhai today? Did he have the wrong medicine? Does he really expect the Li Family to compete against both the Purple Mist Sect and the Royalty?

Although the Li Family was strong, going head-to-head with both the Purple Mist Sect and the Royalty was inviting great trouble.

Sensing that something was out of the ordinary, both Yan Ze and Yang Hongyi shared a look of surprise.

“If you won’t fight, then clear the way. Don’t delay my Li Family’s entry into the Endless Dungeon!” Li Changhai arrogantly stated.

After a moment’s thought, both Yan Ze and Yang Hongyi concluded that it was not the best time to get into a more severe conflict with the Li Family, as it would adversely affect their course into the Endless Dungeon.

Subsequently, the three flying boats started heading towards the Endless Dungeon separately.

Fang Lin stood at the helm, holding a black stone in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Li Family’s flying boat. He was considering whether or not to throw the stone and demolish the Li Family’s flying boat.

Aboard the Li Family’s flying boat, several Li Family disciples noticed Fang Lin observing them. They immediately shouted, “What are you looking at? Want us to scoop out your eyeballs?”

Fang Lin smirked. They had brought it upon themselves. Ready to throw the black rock, he was interrupted.

“Hold on!” Yan Ze suddenly appeared beside Fang Lin, grabbing his arm.

Seeing Yan Ze preventing him, Fang Lin quietly sighed and held back from acting.

“Why did you stop me, elder?” Fang Lin asked, confused.

Yan Ze sighed, looking complicatedly at the black stone in Fang Lin’s hand. He had witnessed the immense power of the stone in the Purple Mist Great Hall and knew full well that if Fang Lin were to throw this stone, the Li Family’s flying boat would most likely be destroyed.

“Like you, I am also frustrated. But if we destroy the Li Family’s flying boat now, they might fight us to death. That would only lead to more trouble,” Yan Ze advised.

Fang Lin smirked, “Does elder suggest we wait until we enter the Endless Dungeon and then give those Li Family brats a good beating?”

Yan Ze paused, then burst into laughter, patting Fang Lin’s shoulder with an approving look on his face.

In front of the mountain shaped like a human head, the three flying boats descended slowly. Each chose a spot at a distance from the others, subtly maintaining a safe distance from each other.

The members of the Purple Mist Sect inevitably disembarked from the flying boat. After having been on board the massive vessel for three days, even though it was a fairly smooth sail, being grounded felt far more comfortable.

“Alright, we will be waiting here for a few days for representatives from other groups in Qian Country to arrive. Then, we enter the Endless Dungeon together. During this period, no one is allowed to leave the flying boat for more than a mile.”, Yan Ze instructed his people.

In addition to the three main forces, the opening of the Endless Dungeon would also involve other forces within the Qian Country, including the second and third rate forces. All of them had agreed to enter the Endless Dungeon together. No one should be allowed to enter in advance, otherwise, they would face the joint boycott of all other forces.

Even the Li Family would not dare to do something as stupid as entering the Endless Dungeon before everyone else. Otherwise, if they offended the entire Qian Country, they would really be in deep trouble.

The wait won’t be too long, in about seven days, the representatives from other forces should all arrive in succession.

During these seven days, the three main forces kept their interference with each other to a minimum aside from the minor interactions between Purple Mist Sect and the Royals.

Fang Lin considered several times whether to sneak into the Li Family’s camp and poison them. But since they had many experts, if he was discovered, it would be over for him. He decided to wait until they entered the Endless Dungeon and then deal with them.

Finally, people from various factions arrived one after another. They were all the secondary or minor forces of the Qian Country. Also included was the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, who were subjected to heavy losses by the Purple Mist Sect; they too sent their representatives.

For a while, the area around the Endless Dungeon buzzed with activity. Besides the different forces participating, there were also many independent martial artists.

Most of these independent martial artists wouldn’t dare enter the Endless Dungeon. However, a small fraction of them were reckless enough to take the plunge. If they made a discovery, they stood to make a large profit.

Roar!!!

From within the Endless Dungeon, a deafening roar echoed out. As if thunder under a heavy sky and with a strange power, it stirred fear in people , making their hearts skip a beat, even those who were outside.
