I Am Overlord

Chapter 1656: You’re Bandits

The newcomer was a peak Demon Saint icemirror bird strong enough to match a Great Demon Saint. However, that much strength was nothing special in Little White’s eyes. With a swipe of his claw, swathes of space collapsed alongside the icemirror bird’s attack. Even the ice mirror itself was torn apart.

“Let’s go take a look at the Icemirror Island. Perhaps there is something to be found there,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He then flew toward a nearby island covered in ice.

Icy trees grew on the small island, with some bizarre fruits hanging on the branches of those trees. These fruits were none other than icespirit fruits, a very beneficial fruit for low-level cultivators.

The icespirit fruit was very rare, yet it seemed to be everywhere on the island. In fact, these fruits were one of the main food sources for the icemirror birds. Little White opened the path for Xiang Shaoyun, dropping numerous icemirror birds from the sky. The flock of birds was completely incapable of harming them. As for Weili Yana, she was filled with reverence.

With a wave of Xiang Shaoyun’s hand, several icespirit fruits landed in his hand. He asked Weili Yana, “Yana, you’re probably an ice cultivator. Will these icespirit fruits be useful for you?”

“Thank you, Lord Xiang. These fruits are of high quality. They will be useful for me,” said Weili Yana gratefully.

“You don’t have to keep calling me Lord Xiang. Everyone else refers to me as the overlord. You can call me the same,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

“Overlord? That’s an amazing title,” said Weili Yana with reverence.

“What do you want, exactly? The Icemirror Island does not welcome uninvited guests,” said a terrifying icemirror bird emerging from the depths of the island.

That icemirror bird was at least a pseudo Demon God. Beside it were several Great Demon Saints, all of them glaring at Xiang Shaoyun and Little White furiously.

“I advise you not to try using violence on us. We were merely passing by, but your people were the ones who had attacked us first,” said Xiang Shaoyun calmly.

“Just by being here is an invasion of our territory. You are not forgivable!” declared the icemirror bird with a ferocious expression.

“Stop yapping on and on. Just bring it on. I’ll whoop all of you!” challenged Little White, his battle intent raging.

He then charged the leading icemirror bird. The icemirror bird showed no fear and faced Little White with all its strength. At the same time, countless icemirror birds flew out from all directions. The birds screeched repeatedly, sending wave after wave of ice energy toward Xiang Shaoyun. Weili Yana was greatly frightened.

“Enough!” Xiang Shaoyun released his aura of an unrivaled dragon and tiger, the aura sweeping in all directions. All the icemirror birds lost their balance, and their attacks were greatly weakened. At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze through them, depriving them of their life force. One icemirror bird after another dropped from the sky.

Meanwhile, Little White did not even need long to seriously injure the pseudo Demon God. Just as Little White was about to deal the finishing blow, an actual Demon God appeared. A terrifying spike of ice stabbed toward Little White. If it wasn’t for Little White’s speed, he would have been skewered to death.

Anything at the God Realm was not to be underestimated. The ice spike was much more powerful than what a pseudo Demon God was capable of. However, Little White showed no fear. He charged forward and unleashed a golden storm from his mouth, sending the golden storm clashing against the ice spike.

Rumble! Rumble!

Terrifying energy explosions erupted, causing cracks to appear in the air filled with ice energy.

“White tiger race!” exclaimed the icemirror bird in alarm upon sensing the aura Little White was emanating.

“Hmph. It’s too late for you to realize that now,” said Little White with a snort. He was about to continue attacking when Xiang Shaoyun said, “Enough, Little White. Stop messing around.”

Little White obeyed and stopped attacking. However, he still regarded the icemirror bird coldly, showing no fear whatsoever. After all, the white tiger race was one of the top demonic races in existence. They possessed a noble bloodline, one that could never be looked down upon.

The Demon God icemirror bird did not attempt to make further attacks. Rather, it turned into an old man with ash-gray hair. An ice mirror rested atop his head, giving him a bizarre appearance. Looking at Little White and Xiang Shaoyun, he asked, “Why are you here exactly? Why are you slaughtering my brethren for no reason?”

“We were merely passing by. We only fought back after your people attacked,” replied Xiang Shaoyun. “We’re heading toward the Illusory Island. I hope you won’t cause further disturbances for us. Otherwise, your people will be the ones to suffer.”

“In that case, leave,” said the icemirror bird. He knew that the human and the white tiger before him were not enemies he would want to have. His only choice was to swallow his anger.

“We won’t leave empty-handed,” said Little White as he flashed a wide smile.

“What else do you want? The icemirror birds can’t be bullied so easily either!” warned the icemirror bird sternly.

“You definitely have some god-grade or saint-grade objects of extreme cold. This prince shall accept some of them as gifts,” said Little White shamelessly.

“Impossible!” the icemirror bird refused immediately.

“Say again?” A ferocious aura erupted from Little White’s body.

Just as the icemirror bird was about to voice yet another refusal, Xiang Shaoyun’s Imperial Nether Domain appeared out of nowhere, covering the entire Icemirror Island. “Do as told.”

When the icemirror bird noticed the changes around him, panic covered his face. He said, “You’re bandits!”

Since the icemirror bird did not want to die, his sole choice was to do as told. He took out a frostmirror stone, a god-grade material that could be used to make a god-grade ice mirror. It was extremely valuable for ice cultivators. Additionally, he also took out some saint-grade ice items.

Naturally, Little White was not satisfied. He felt that the old bird was probably lying to him.

On the other hand, Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to push them too much. He was happy enough with what they had gotten so far. He had no intention of starting a full-blown war with the icemirror birds.

“By the way, how far is this place from the Illusory Island?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

“That damnable place is not far from here. Just keep going north,” said the icemirror bird in astonishment.

“Boss, let’s go,” said Little White.

“There is no rush. We still have plenty of time. Let’s deepen our understanding of this place,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand. He then started questioning the icemirror bird about what lay ahead of them.

He knew that the icemirror bird most definitely knew more about the path to the Illusory Island. Sure, Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were decently strong, but they still needed to be careful of unknown dangers.

Meanwhile, the various islands of the North Illusionary Sea sent their respective warriors to the Illusory Island. The once per millennium event was finally starting.^[a]

[a]I’m assuming this is what was meant. When this paragraph was with the last one and the sentence started with “at the same time”, it carried the connotation that Xiang Shaoyun and Little White also needed to be careful because the various islands had sent their warriors to the illusory island, but I am guessing that the author had meant to say that the various islands were sending their warriors out while Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were questioning the icemirror bird. If it is supposed to be the first meaning, please reject the new paragraph and the “meanwhile” suggestions, and add a new paragraph before “The once per millennium…”
