Chapter 52 The Storm on White Tail Island
Chapter 52 The Storm on White Tail Island
"You escaped too?"
Nie Shan looked around but didn't see any other Qi Refining disciples. He asked in a deep voice, "Are there any others?"
"there is none left!"
Luo Qing shook her head, her face filled with lingering fear and sorrow from surviving the ordeal, her voice trembling slightly.
"I was only able to escape death by chance after shattering the array's core. My other fellow disciples... all perished within that killing array!"
"They're all...gone."
Upon hearing this, Nie Shan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the color that had just returned to his face faded even further.
He wasn't pitying the Qi Refining disciples, but rather because such a crushing defeat would surely lead to punishment upon their return!
"Fine, let's focus on surviving first!"
Nie Shan glanced warily at the mist-shrouded mountain peak and gritted his teeth, saying:
"We shouldn't linger here. That formation master's methods are unpredictable; he might have other tricks up his sleeve. Let's rendezvous with the warships heading towards White Tail Island first, and then decide what to do!"
The antidote in Nie Shan's possession wouldn't last until he returned to Jiyin Island, so he had to rejoin the team.
Although Luo Qing obtained a large amount of antidote from the storage bags of his fellow disciples, returning to the island alone would only bring trouble upon himself.
So he nodded obediently, and said with a hint of fear:
"I'll leave it all to my martial uncle's arrangements!"
Without further delay, Nie Shan summoned the small cloud boat they had previously traveled on.
After boarding the boat, the two sped off towards White Tail Island at full speed.
......
Meanwhile, inside the cave on Little Huan Island, Han Li didn't clear the fog from his eyes until the floating cloud boat had completely disappeared into the horizon.
The next moment, he couldn't help but want to pack his things and leave Xiaohuan Island so that Luo Qing would never find him again.
But reason told him that this was not the right thing to do.
"Qu Hun, do you really think this Chaotic Star Sea is this chaotic? A heretical cultivator at the Core Formation stage has appeared, and he even dares to provoke the largest power here!"
Han Li vaguely sensed something was amiss, but he couldn't quite grasp the key.
"Well, if that person wanted to kill me, he could have done it earlier. I can't ignore his warning."
Moreover, after this incident, security around Kui Xing Island will definitely be strengthened, making it safer than other places in the future!
After some internal struggle, Han Li gave up the idea of moving.
Immediately, he left his cave and arranged the battlefield, reducing the number of corpses in preparation for the arrival of the Kui Xing Island guards.
Four hours later, a silver spirit boat stopped outside Xiaohuan Island, and then twenty cultivators flew out of it.
The leader was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator clad in silver armor. His aura was steady, and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, making him appear quite formidable.
Behind him followed two assistants, both in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, each holding a magical artifact and with solemn expressions.
The rest of the people were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Is Han Li, who is guarding Xiaohuan Island, here?
The silver-armored cultivator used his magical power to transmit his voice, which resounded throughout the sky above Little Huan Island.
"Han Li is here! You've finally arrived!"
With a joyful response, Han Li flew out on his weapon and went straight to meet them.
The silver-armored cultivator used the records on the jade slip in his hand to compare Han Li's appearance and aura, and only after confirming the aura did he lead his team forward.
"We arrived immediately after receiving your message. If it is verified that no heretical practitioners were involved, you will face severe punishment. Are you aware of this?"
The silver-armored cultivator glanced at the calm and peaceful Xiaohuan Island, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
"Of course! I killed three with the help of the formation, and their bodies are still here!"
Han Li's eyes widened immediately, and he excitedly explained.
Having a body makes things easier!
The silver-armored cultivator immediately led his men to the scene to investigate. Based solely on the remaining aura, he recognized that the three corpses were all evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island.
"These evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island have gone mad! How dare they covet our Kui Xing Island! Aren't they afraid of the Star Palace's wrath?"
"Heh, why should the Star Palace be enraged? The three island lords are enough to crush them!"
...
Looking at the three corpses at their feet, the guards and cultivators were all very disdainful.
"You're quite capable, young man. The surrounding bewitching arrays are at the Foundation Establishment level, aren't they?"
The silver-armored cultivator patted Han Li on the shoulder, praising his feat of fighting against multiple opponents and even killing three of them.
"Senior has discerning eyes. This junior may lack other skills, but I am quite confident in my abilities regarding formations!"
Han Li exchanged pleasantries.
"That's perfect. We happen to have materials on our ship to repair the island's protective formation. You can do it yourself."
Furthermore, you don't need to worry about those evil cultivators returning; I will temporarily leave half of my manpower on Xiaohuan Island.
After giving these instructions, the silver-armored cultivator took the three corpses and made as if to leave.
"Senior, please wait. Evil cultivators are rampant these days. I wonder if the island lord and the others have any plans to deal with this?"
Han Li wasn't just doing this for Luo Qing; he also wanted to understand the situation himself.
"Hehe, don't worry, those thieves from Whale Corpse Island chose the wrong time to cause trouble!"
The silver-armored cultivator showed no concern whatsoever, appearing completely fearless.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Han Li seemed to have patted his chest in relief, but in reality, he was secretly hesitant.
Should we tell that old demon who is suspected of possessing our body about the behavior of these guards?
Although Kui Xing Island was extremely confident, as if those evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island would be courting death if they dared to come, the old demon clearly sensed something was amiss, otherwise he wouldn't have let him investigate.
"In other words, even if I don't send the message, that old devil will most likely escape unscathed, while I will have offended him for nothing!"
Han Li made his decision in a flash.
"However, if he insists on persisting, it's not entirely impossible to fight him!"
After muttering to himself, Han Li flipped his hand and took out two slightly larger five-colored round beads.
"This old devil is still bluffing a bit!"
.....
At the same time, the four bone warships that had been besieging White Tail Island for three days suddenly appeared on the south side of the island today and joined forces to crash into the array light barrier in front of them.
With a loud "boom", the protective array of White Tail Island was immediately breached, and the evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island, who were prepared all along, poured in through the breach and rushed towards White Tail City, the most prosperous city on the island!
Such an action was seen as tantamount to suicide by the monks of White Tail Island.
Because the gap in the light barrier caused by this will be repaired in no time, at which point these evil cultivators who rushed in will be trapped like turtles in a jar!
Just then, Liu Yueru, dressed in red, gave a cold laugh and flicked her wrist, summoning a barrier-breaking talisman that smashed into the gap.
A flash of white light appeared, and the gap in the light curtain that was rapidly closing immediately stopped.
However, this action did not receive much attention from the cultivators of White Tail Island, because a Core Formation level aura was slowly pressing down from the sky, its target being the White Tail Beast Street, a place where wealthy merchants gathered and treasures were abundant!
"The Peak Master is personally overseeing the operation! Men, kill them all! Loot everything!"
With a wave of her jade arm, Liu Yueru sent most of the "evil cultivators" to the vanguard, charging towards White Tail Beast Street. Anyone who tried to stop them or was too slow to escape was killed on the spot, causing screams to rise and fall!
However, Liu Yueru herself and several Foundation Establishment disciples concealed their auras, changed their appearances, and flew towards the teleportation hall!
