I Am Overlord

Chapter 727: Gleamstar Water

The group of people blocking Xiang Shaoyun's group called themselves the Squall. Their leader was Feng Xiaosha, who once had a conflict with Xiang Shaoyun. The roughly 200 people present weren't even all of them. They were only one-fifth of their total members.

"Get lost!" shouted someone standing beside Feng Xiaosha. He was tall and slim and had snake-like eyes, pronounced cheekbones, and thin lips. He looked like someone hard to get along with.

He was Situ Qingfeng, the number one general serving under Feng Xiaosha. Similar to Feng Xiaosha, he was a wind cultivator. He had valiant combat prowess and was a fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. The combination of his cultivation level and speed made it hard for even fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators to do anything to him.

Ma Qihao, as the vanguard, stepped forth and replied, "Situ Qingfeng, who do you think you are? You dare raise your voice to Overlord Legion members?"

He was now a late third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. Hence, he had the confidence to contend against Situ Qingfeng.

"Hmph! Any Overlord Legion member daring to come one step forward will immediately be killed!" said Situ Qingfeng with a sneer.

As for Feng Xiaosha, he stood there with his arms crossed on his chest. With a sneer on his face, he watched on, not intending to say anything. His focus was on Xiang Shaoyun as he cursed inwardly, This kid is really an undying cockroach. How did he live this long? I really want to kill him right here.

After all, he had more people on his side right now. If they attacked, the Overlord Legion would suffer. However, he wasn't confident he could really kill Xiang Shaoyun here. After all, Xiang Shaoyun had a lot of trump cards.

"Sure, let me try—" Ma Qihao was angered and was about to charge forth and fight Situ Qingfeng, but Xiang Shaoyun stopped him.

"No point acting recklessly for now. Let them go first," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Haha, and you call yourself an overlord? Why don't you call yourself a turtle? What a coward," Situ Qingfeng roared with laughter.

His companions also started sneering and jeering. The Overlord Legion members wore extremely unsightly expressions. They felt terrible having their overlord humiliated in public like this, and they all wanted to fight it out with Feng Xiaosha's people. However, the gap between the strength of their two parties was too big. If a fight really broke out, things would not bode well for them.

"Alright, let's go. It's boring wasting time on these cowards," said Feng Xiaosha smugly.

Ma Qihao had a bad temper and started roaring, "I can't acce—"

But Xiang Shaoyun once again interrupted him, "It's pointless to be reckless. Silence."

Ma Qihao was not resigned, but he was forced to swallow the rest of his words. He could not understand why Xiang Shaoyun would step down. Xiang Shaoyun's action had weakened the group's morale.

"Let's go from that way," said Xiang Shaoyun, a sneer forming on his face.

And thus, they continued advancing from a different direction. The Squall members howled with laughter when they saw the Overlord Legion members taking a detour around them.

Alas, before long, their laughter turned into wails as an unstable force field abruptly erupted not far ahead of them. It engulfed the Squall members. The force field was capable of harming even ordinary Sovereigns, and it instantly killed over 20, or even more than 30, of them. The Squall members, overwhelmed with fear, quickly retreated.

"See, like I said, it is pointless to act recklessly. Look, they are suffering now," Xiang Shaoyun sneered.

Astonishment filled the Overlord Legion members.. From his words, it seemed that Xiang Shaoyun had seen the force field coming. It was too inconceivable.

"Stay close. Let's pick up the pace," said Xiang Shaoyun as he took the lead.

He unleashed the senses of his Nether Soul Domain, detecting all the chaotic force fields around him as he detoured around unnecessary dangers. At the same time, the horned shell monsters were still appearing unceasingly, creating a considerable inconvenience for them.

Relying on his sharp senses, Xiang Shaoyun detected the horned shell monsters before anyone else and killed or heavily injured the monsters before they could get near. The Overlord Legion members were able to truly experience Xiang Shaoyun's strength, and their reverence grew.

After about four hours, they finally arrived at the area with stable force fields. But there, they found that some sort of power was isolating the area from the chaotic force fields. It seemed impossible for them to enter.

"Look, is that sparkling spring water the gleamstar water?" someone exclaimed while pointing through the barrier. It attracted the others' gazes.

"That's right. That's the gleamstar water. It looks like a river of stars. It's so pretty."

"Something feels weird inside. I feel like the life force inside is extremely dense, yet why are there no life forms around at all?"

"No time to be bothered about that. Let's charge inside and collect the gleamstar water. If others arrive, we won't be able to get anything."

...

The Overlord Legion people were eager to collect the water. After all, their goal for this trip was the gleamstar water, and it was right before them. Their excitement was understandable. And yet, Xiang Shaoyun did not move forward immediately. The isolation power was not the reason. Rather, he had a feeling this stable area would turn unstable as well. historical

"Everyone, retreat right now! Get far away from this place!" Xiang Shaoyun yelled.

"Overlord, the gleamstar water is right in front of us. Why are we giving up?" someone asked in confusion.

"That's right. We can work together and break inside. We will definitely be able to get the gleamstar water," said someone else.

"I said to retreat! Do you hear me? This place is going to explode soon!" Xiang Shaoyun howled anxiously.

"Go, listen to the Overlord," Shou Xie was the first to voice his support.

At that, a small portion listened and retreated, but an even larger portion was still unwilling to leave. Those unwilling to leave weren't convinced that the place would suddenly explode. After all, within this whole restricted space, there were very few stable areas. If even this place was going to explode, where were they supposed to find more gleamstar water?

Xiang Shaoyun was forced to make a ruthless decision. "Very well. Those refusing to leave will no longer be Overlord Legion members."

He had not expected that his subordinates would suddenly become unreliable at a critical juncture like this. They were basically courting death. He ignored them and started withdrawing with the ones willing to listen. Some others also quickly joined them after hearing Xiang Shaoyun's declaration. It was at that moment that the stable area suddenly exploded.

Rumble! Rumble!
