"What? Who is so daring to actually steal the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg?" The person sitting high in the sect emitted a trace of anger in their eyes and asked.

"I don't know. When we arrived, we were attacked by the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon. It is likely that someone stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg secretly, causing the dragon to mistake us for the culprits and attack, resulting in the complete annihilation of several of our senior brothers…" The martial artist who was left with only half of his body said fiercely.

The person sitting high in the grand hall thought for a while, then a smile appeared at the corner of their mouth, and they couldn't help but say, "This is a good thing. The news you bring back is very good!"

"Sect Master? This…" The half-bodied person didn't quite understand. They were attacked by the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, with some senior brothers dead or injured, and this was actually a good thing?

"Yes, it is a good thing. You must know that for hundreds of years, how many forces have coveted the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg? It is rumored that the egg contains not only a strand of immortal energy but can also heal almost incurable Taoist injuries. Not only does our Tripod Sect want it, but all the forces in the Penglai Ancient Martial World have been eyeing it. It's because the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon is so strong that trying to take its egg could lead to sect destruction, making many forces dare not act rashly. But now, someone has successfully stolen the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, so we don't have to provoke the troublesome dragon. We just need to find this person and kill them, and the dragon's egg will naturally belong to us." The person sitting above sneered as they spoke.

The half-bodied person was initially stunned, then also revealed a smile and hurriedly said, "The Sect Master indeed possesses great wisdom, which I deeply admire. I will immediately send someone to find the person who stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg!"

"Wait a moment…" The sect master of the Tripod Sect thought for a moment and said.

"What else does the Sect Master have to instruct?" The half-bodied person hurriedly asked.

"First, go to our Tripod Sect's Body Shaping Pond to restore your physical body, then take people to find the one who stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg." The sect master looked at this disciple and said.

"Thank you for the Sect Master's concern!" The half-bodied person said.

"Additionally, once you have located the person who stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, kill them. Not only them but everyone associated with them, anyone who knows about the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, must also be killed. We cannot let any other force know we have obtained the egg, as that would bring us great trouble." The sect master said with a fierce glint in their eyes.

"Yes!"

The Tripod Sect Master watched this disciple leave and couldn't help but show a cruel smile at the corner of their mouth, muttering to themselves, "The situation on Earth has changed. The entire Martial Arts World is about to usher in a brand new beginning, another golden age of cultivation. All forces, all martial artists, are preparing for a battle against fate, hoping to stand at the Martial Arts Peak and become the next Overlord Immortal King. If I, Xiang Chen, can obtain the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, my cultivation strength will surely advance another level, adding more capital for the contest!"

"But acquiring the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg will not be an easy task…"

It's said that behind every man, there is a woman, and behind every successful man, there is an extraordinary woman. As Xiang Chen was immersed in the joy of soon obtaining the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, a woman walked out from behind the throne beside him. She wasn't very beautiful, but she carried an alluring presence, an extremely seductive charm that suggested she wasn't someone easy to provoke.

"What do you think about this matter?" Xiang Chen glanced at the woman beside him and asked indifferently.

"Your plan is quite good. As long as we find the person who stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, we can take the egg. However, I have made a slight change to your plan…" The woman smiled slightly, yet it gave people a feeling of a venomous heart.

"What minor change?" Xiang Chen asked with a frown.

The woman walked to Xiang Chen's side and slowly sat on his thigh. Xiang Chen couldn't help but grab the woman's breast. Whether in the mortal world or the martial arts world, every being has joys and desires. To transcend even these desires would mean not being human but a deity, an entity that has transcended to the highest realm.

"We must find the person who stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg quietly, but we can't kill them. Instead, after taking the egg from them, we should tell all the other forces that the egg is with this person. Then, all arrows will point to the egg thief. We can send some disciples to compete, just going through the motions, while you can enjoy the egg alone…" The woman said with a face full of smiles.

Xiang Chen was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, a perfect plan, even better than mine. I didn't waste time killing off the other women, leaving only you by my side. Let's go; today, I want to reward you well, make you scream…"

"No rush, joy can be had any time. I need to discuss serious matters with you!" The woman stopped Xiang Chen's hand from moving towards her skirt, saying.

"Go ahead, although I'm fond of women, I'm not someone who can't move at the sight of one. I know what's most important!" Xiang Chen said while touching the woman's skirt.

"The Penglai Ancient Martial World has always been considered a mysterious place. After billions of years of evolution, we actually know that the so-called Penglai Fairy Island is only that one place left. That place is not for ordinary people to touch. Despite all the forces in the Penglai Ancient Martial World eyeing it, no force has succeeded…" the woman began to say.

"What do you mean, just say it all…" Xiang Chen was puzzled and asked.

"The Penglai Ancient Martial World has been known as the Penglai Fairy Island since ancient times, unlike the remaining Song Mountain and Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial Worlds. Some things, including martial sects inherited for millions of years in Penglai, are unknown. It's a legendary place once descended by immortals, its significance different from other places…" The woman continued to say.

"Say everything at once, I'm already getting excited now!" Xiang Chen said as he moved himself.

The woman also tightened her hips a little and then said with some panting, "I believe Earth will soon be disrupted. Martial artists from the three major ancient martial worlds, including some major forces, will definitely start contending. The contention is naturally for those gradually emerging powerful inheritances and ancient transmission arrays. Whichever inheritance masters the ancient transmission array will be the first to gain the qualification to venture into outer domains, entering the true Martial Arts Great World. Our Tripod Sect also needs to seize this opportunity. I think we should strike first!"

"How to strike first?" Xiang Chen asked.

"Once you obtain the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's egg, I believe your cultivation can reach the Late Stage Martial Saint level. In this world that's been closed off for years, nothing can rival you, except for some unknown creatures in some forbidden areas of the three ancient martial worlds, who qualify to contend with you. Otherwise, you are invincible. These unknown creatures, awaiting some unknown conditions, won't emerge unless absolutely necessary. Then you can rule the Earth Martial Arts World, control the transmission array, use this place as your base to extend your reach to the entire Martial Arts World, gradually expanding your power, establishing the Tripod Sect's reputation in the Martial Arts World. Then, with any resources and benefits, you'll have the strength to contend." The woman spoke with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Good, a very good idea, I like it. Let the subordinates handle it as you said, and now you shall comply with my words…" Xiang Chen nodded with a lewd smile and said.

At this moment, under the treehouse where Xiao Ling lived, Ye Tianchen glanced at Xiao Ling without saying much. Instead, he went out to find wild fruits to stave off hunger. During the day, he simply sat with Xiao Ling, and at night, he sat with her on the tree, watching the scenery of "Penglai Fairy Island." This continued for three days and nights. Xiao Ling never spoke, and Ye Tianchen didn't ask much. At this moment, he understood Xiao Ling's feelings, living alone for ten years, finally rescuing her mother, but before she could even say a few more words, her mother died. Losing the only family, who could imagine such pain? Without personally experiencing it, one could never truly feel such pain.

The night was cool, the moon was full, and Ye Tianchen just stayed by Xiao Ling's side. These days, he didn't go anywhere. Even though he knew the situation was tricky, he didn't mind waiting another day or two, allowing Xiao Ling's mood to improve before investigating the peculiar "Penglai Fairy Island" to search for the Blood Killing Organization's base.

"Why did you come here?" Xiao Ling suddenly asked, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"To find something!" Ye Tianchen answered.

"Eternal life? Or an immortal fate?" Xiao Ling continued to ask calmly.

"That's just a small part of it. I need to find something and take it away…" Ye Tianchen said.

"What thing?" Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment and asked.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Xiao Ling, then chose to tell her, saying, "Fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array!" (To be continued.
