Chapter 1439: An Ant Trying to Shake a Tree, Overestimating Its Own Strength!
On the vast Skyland Continent, sprawling across an immense area, lie five great dynasties and countless smaller nations.
Behind each dynasty or nation stands an Immortal Cultivation Sect. For instance, the White Crane Immortal Sect supports the Tianlan Dynasty, while the Infinite Sword Sect stands behind the Iron Lion Dynasty, within whose territory the Blackstone Mountain Range is found.
The Winter Thunder Sect, not as powerful as the Infinite Sword Sect, is essentially a loyal subordinate. Despite this, it still wields considerable influence and has garnered a degree of fame throughout the Skyland Continent.
Whatever claims that young man made about marks and territorial rights were, without a doubt, complete fabrications.
The Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus present here was less than a hundred years old. If it had truly been marked as theirs, they would certainly have been aware of its presence. More importantly, this was a region infested with Demonic Beasts—Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in such areas belonged only to the strong who could claim them.
Their declarations were nothing more than a pretext to assert dominance and then resort to seizing it by any means necessary.
Carson Flores had toiled relentlessly to cultivate the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus to maturity. How could he possibly hand it over?
The young man stared at Carson Flores with a sly smile and said, "But I think this Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus should be mine. Do you have a problem with that?"
Behind the young man, two elderly figures instantly spread out, forming a triangular encirclement around Carson, clearly intending to block any possible escape route.
Carson remained motionless, smiling faintly as he replied, "Is that so? What a coincidence—I believe it’s mine as well."
The young man’s smile instantly froze, his expression turning cold. "That depends on whether you have what it takes to claim it."
