CHAPTER 1222: CHAPTER 800: THE GREAT CAULDRON SHATTERS AGAIN (PART 2)

"The Thunder Bone is the purest form of the Thunder Dao Ancestral Weapon, sealed with a thunderbolt. It can’t possibly be a match for Wu Duankong with the litian spear," Wu Zhejiu said.

"That’s the issue. Wu Duankong should easily defeat the Thunder Bone Ancestral Weapon, but it seems he’s failed. Later I went on patrol, only to find that Wu Dian, who was guarding the Ruishui River, also lost contact, and the Ruishui River is gone!" Wu Shuyao said.

"The Ruishui River is gone?"

"Not only the Ruishui River, but even Wufeng and others have disappeared and couldn’t be contacted, as if someone is silently hunting our people right under our noses!" Wu Shuyao said.

"Is it Wufeng?" Luo Changbai said from the other side.

Wu Shuyao glanced at Luo Changbai again, then said, "It’s possible, he may have dealt with the Ancestral Dao Realm experts we sent."

"If they were killed, there should be a reaction from the resurrected Ancestral Weapon."

"I went to inquire about it, but there was no reaction from the Ancestral Weapon, meaning Wufeng might have captured them alive, and could be exploring his way here at any moment," Wu Shuyao said.

"Wufeng!"

The aura around Wu Zhejiu seemed to grow more agitated, with the red tendrils on him almost igniting like fireworks.

That name brought enormous trouble to their Houtu Tribe forty years ago. If not for the resurrected Ancestral Weapon, the damage to the Dao Palace would have been severe!

"Warn everyone, stay on guard, and avoid any more incidents!" Wu Zhejiu commanded.

"Yes."

Wu Shuyao bowed in response, then transformed into a brown beam of light, disappearing into the abyss.

Wu Zhejiu’s aura remained agitated, involuntarily recalling that battle forty years ago!

Wufeng’s immense power from that battle was unforgettable for them, and if not for a stronger Ancestral Weapon on their side, they would have been helpless against that guy.

He still harbored fears about Wufeng, as he was one of Wufeng’s defeated opponents back then, neither killed nor fully alive after their clash.

After painstakingly recovering over the years, now it seemed Wufeng was indeed planning to reclaim his broken sword and this great cauldron Ancestral Weapon!

"If Wufeng comes, how likely are we to capture him?" Luo Changbai asked.

"In the last battle, we broke his longsword Ancestral Weapon and shattered his Five Pieces of Stone. He lost two Ancestral Weapons, and his power is no longer what it used to be. If he dares to come this time, he won’t leave alive!"

Wu Zhejiu’s aura continued to tremble, emanating a fierce killing intent, making the air in the abyss heated and causing the Heavenly Dao divine patterns surrounding the great cauldron to manifest under the influence.

Luo Changbai said coolly, "Though he’s missing Wufeng and the Five Pieces of Stone, if this is truly his doing, then the litian spear and Thunder Bone Ancestral Weapon might be in his hands, and he remains powerful. Underestimating a master who once brought our Dao Palace to its knees is unwise!"

Wu Zhejiu was displeased upon hearing this.

Yet he knew Luo Changbai spoke the truth.

After a moment, Wu Zhejiu seemed to recall something, with a strange smile crossing his lips, he looked at Luo Changbai and said, "What strategies do you have to deal with Wufeng, tell me?"

Luo Changbai said indifferently, "Start with his target. If I were Wufeng, this great cauldron would be of utmost importance, as it concerns the fate of the entire Human Race, so I would focus on it."

"We’ve been guarding it!" Wu Zhejiu emphasized.

"Guarding it isn’t enough. He’s clearly more prepared this time, and if his strength has surpassed that of forty years ago, then the battle would only be a reenactment of forty years ago!"

"So what’s your point?"

"This great cauldron Ancestral Weapon is currently broken, bound by the power of the Common Valley. Wufeng is very likely to come with fragments, restore it, and then take it away. We can’t let that happen!"

Luo Changbai spoke with clear logic, pausing before saying slowly:

"The best way is to knock off another fragment of this Ancestral Weapon, hold it ourselves, so even if Wufeng comes with the two cauldron legs, he won’t be able to take away the cauldron! And then we have the chance to go all out and kill him!"

Wu Zhejiu’s eyes brightened!

He hadn’t considered this before!

"Brilliant! Brilliant!"

Wu Zhejiu looked at Luo Changbai with deep meaning, finding this idea indeed excellent.

Since the Ancestral Weapon was broken, its power was greatly reduced. They guarded the broken Ancestral Weapon, waiting for others to bring the fragments so they could reap the reward.

But this great cauldron was special; it was more like a trap set for Wufeng.

If they broke off another fragment from the already broken Ancestral Weapon, then even if Wufeng brought two fragments, the cauldron wouldn’t be complete, and he still couldn’t take the cauldron, keeping them in control!

"But breaking the great cauldron might reduce its controlling ability over the Dao embryo system. I need to confirm this properly, can’t afford to focus on one thing and lose another."

Wu Zhejiu approached the great cauldron, assessing the Ancestral Weapon’s abilities, looking for a spot that wouldn’t affect the divine patterns’ functions.

He had been guarding this Ancestral Weapon for a long time and was familiar with it, knowing exactly how each part exerted power, quickly locking on to a place.

"This is it!"

A flash of light crossed Wu Zhejiu’s hand, gripping a sharp dagger firmly!

This dagger exuded a profound and powerful aura, seemingly ordinary in appearance, yet any Ancestral Dao Realm expert could see at a glance the formidable power of this Ancestral Weapon!

Swish!

Wu Zhejiu swung, the dagger slicing the cauldron, shaving off a piece.

This gap was small, only the size of a thumb, yet enabled them to obtain a third fragment without harming the cauldron’s essence!

——

"This is bad."

Xiaohei whispered urgently.

Xiang Beifei, who had been hiding in a corner waiting for an opportunity, also fell silent, his heart growing heavy.

They hadn’t expected Luo Changbai to suddenly pull such a trick, and now Wu Zhejiu had further dismembered the Ancestral Weapon, already lacking two cauldron legs!

This meant that even if Xiang Beifei could gather the two cauldron legs, he still couldn’t restore the cauldron, and couldn’t take it away!

Hai Fuyu looked at Luo Shanyou and said indifferently, "Your son is outstanding."

He was stating a fact, yet it sounded like mockery.

Luo Shanyou clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh out of anger.

He hadn’t anticipated that this time, the trouble would come from his own son!

Luo Changbai’s scheming with Wu Zhejiu had made it much harder for them to reclaim the cauldron.

Hai Fuyu said, "I won’t beat around the bush; that Luo Changbai is one issue due to the Ancestral Weapon controlling his thoughts, but the key is how you plan to deal with him! Because you don’t know which Ancestral Weapon is controlling his mind, and it’s impossible to easily seize it."

"That means this person will surely stand against you. No matter how you persuade, he’s still loyal to the Dao Palace! And this person, very clear-headed, and very smart, knows everything about Jiuzhou and the Dao Palace, making him the Dao Palace’s top strategist, as the Human Race contends with the Dao Palace, you don’t stand a chance!"

Hai Fuyu’s eyes shifted between Xiang Beifei and Luo Shanyou, his voice becoming stern and cold, "Originally, how the Human Race behaved was none of my concern, but now that we’re on the same front, I must say, if this person is not eliminated, the Human Race will face utter destruction!"

Hai Fuyu’s words were sharp but struck at the heart of the matter.
