Chapter 568 – Shocked Retreat
”So it’s the two Fellow Daoist Mei! Old me and a few of my disciples were passing by and saw the shocking changes on this island from afar before coming over to see what was going on, and also just arrived here not long ago. On the contrary, your siblings are very knowledgeable, can you see anything fishy from this heavenly omen?” The old man surnamed Zhao seemed to know this pair of men and women, and immediately said with a smile on his face.
”Brother Zhao is joking. Even fellow Daoists don’t know about this celestial sign, and my family brother and I know even less about it. However, looking at its tangled Yin Qi, I’m afraid that it’s a foreign treasure coming out, and it’s also a great evil weapon!” The woman replied back in a gentle manner, while the man just nodded his head faintly, with an appearance of a stranger.
The old man saw this situation is not angry, lightly cough a few times want to say something else. Just at this time, a burst of pleasant flute sound from the distance, then the distant sky green light flashes, a point of light from far and near to fly here.
The elegant jade face of the woman surnamed Mei changed several times when she heard the sound of this flute, but then calmed down as if nothing had happened.
The old man surnamed Zhao was first stunned, then remembered something and looked at the woman twice more, his face showing a few odd colors.
As for the man next to the woman, his face was expressionless, but a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
A moment later, the green point of light approached the place. It was actually a young man, holding a jade flute horizontally as he flew in, his appearance was handsome, his white clothes fluttered, quite dashing.
”Mister Fu wasn’t wrong, Miss Mei has indeed come here.” The white-robed man flew until he reached a few people before he stopped his flute and shouted gleefully at the woman surnamed Mei.
”Fellow Daoist Fu, also here!” A helpless color flashed across the woman’s face, and she barely managed to cope with it under her breath, as if she didn’t like seeing the other party.
”What exactly are your intentions? Little sister has already said that she is not willing to be your dual cultivation partner, why do you still keep pestering me. Could it be that you think that because there is a master who has conjugated dan, Mister Mei wouldn’t dare to kick people out?” The woman’s elder brother said coldly with some hoarseness.
”Little Sheng is truly fond of your sister, as long as Miss Mei is unmarried, I will always follow her around. Fellow Daoist Mei will definitely be impressed by my infatuation!” The white-robed man looked at the woman surnamed Mei with a fond look on his face.
When the woman on the other side heard this, her cheeks blushed, and she stomped her foot and directly turned away, no longer paying attention to this person. And its elder brother face showed a trace of ferocious color, coupled with the dead-like zombie face, more hideous and horrible.
But the man in white just looked straight at the woman’s back, not paying attention to the others at all.
”Cough! Three Taoist friends why do not be intentional, a little while later, I’m afraid to come to the same way more. If there is a treasure really in the island out of the world, or to early out ah! Otherwise, once there are more people, or if a predecessor of the JieDan stage comes, then there won’t be any play at all.” The old man surnamed Zhao’s eyes turned slightly, and suddenly exited to say in a defusing manner, and steered the topic towards the island.
Upon hearing this, all three of them were slightly stunned.
”Huh! The sky on the island is starting to change.” The man in white was originally filled with a look of indifference, but after casually glancing at it, his complexion changed.
When the old man and Mei’s siblings heard this, they couldn’t help but look at the same with a shock.
Sure enough, the dark clouds in the sky, suddenly centered on a certain point rotated, and constantly rolled into the island near a large area of Yin Qi, the volume of the rapid expansion up, the eye saw a black behemoth, is about to be formed.
”What is this? Could it be that the treasure is about to come out.” The woman revealed a horrified look, and asked with a flushed face.
”Whether it is or not, let’s take a look at it as well. Maybe it’s really our chance that has arrived?” The man surnamed Mei looked at the astonishing scene on the island, and a trace of a strange color flashed across his face.
”But what if it’s not a treasure, but there’s a high-ranking person cultivating some top-ranking technique! Will we offend the other party if we go over?” Once the woman heard what her brother said, but she hesitated a bit.
”There’s no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, and naturally, you have to take some risks if you want treasures. Moreover, if it is really a certain senior on this island, we will then leave with good words.” The man’s voice turned cold and said impatiently. He then ignored the bystanders and stepped on the sword-shaped magic artifact under his feet, directly shooting off in the direction of the island.
The woman was first stunned, then with a worried face, she urged her magic weapon and followed closely. The man in white saw this, a slight hesitation, then squinted under the eyes, see the old man surnamed Zhao figure did not move, face could not help but rise a trace of suspicion.
”Fellow Daoist Zhao is not going to explore the truth? The words of going to the island to search for treasures, but you first proposed, did you change your mind so quickly!” He asked with a frown.
”What the old man said were only words of advice, he never said that he himself would also go. Moreover, this time out, Zhaomou also brought a cadre of juniors, and did not want to take this risk. If there really are treasures, let’s let them go with the three Dao Friends.” The old man hemmed and hawed and said frankly with a twist of his beard.
”Hmph! Brother Zhao is really talking nice, I’m afraid he’s using a few of us as pathfinders!” The man in white glared at the old man, but after turning his face to look at the faraway woman surnamed Mei, he still turned into a recluse and chased after him with a clench of his teeth.
The old man smiled at the back and watched the man’s vanishing light, shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself after a long time, “The scourge of the red face ah! Having been tainted with the word love, I see that you’ll be in big trouble in the future!”
The group of male and female disciples behind him couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this.
Seeing that those three people successively flew into the range of the island, and directly toward the bottom of the place where that omen occurred, the old man could not help but be invigorated, staring without blinking, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation hidden in his expression. But right at this moment, behind the group of them, a cold sentence suddenly came from the back of the group, “You’re smart enough not to take this risk, otherwise even if there really is a treasure coming out, juniors such as you are worthy of owning it?”
The old man surnamed Zhaow was shocked in his heart when he heard the words. A cadre of disciples then panicked to look behind the week, the results of the four empty, which has what silhouette exists.
”I don’t know which senior is driving here, Tai Yang Sect Zhao Qiao see senior.” The old man similarly did not find any trace of the person who spoke, his heart was a little cold, and he hurriedly said respectfully.
”Tai Yang Zong! What kind of person is that guy Bu Biankong to you.” Still no one showed up, but a cold voice drifted out suddenly left and right.
”The Patriarch is my senior uncle, senior knows my Patriarch?” The old man was flabbergasted and didn’t dare to be slow in returning.
”Heh heh! I’ve met you once. Originally, I was planning to exterminate you guys on this, so as not to be an eyesore here, but since it’s also considered an acquaintance’s sect, I’ll let you guys off the hook! But you juniors, stay here and don’t move, or don’t blame me for being ruthless.” The person who transmitted the voice hesitated for a moment before saying in a slightly slower voice.
”Naturally, we will never cause trouble for senior.” The old man’s face turned a little green when he heard this, but his heart was relieved, secretly glad that the elders in the sect were well-traveled ah!
At this time, the white-robed man had already chased after the Mei siblings, and the three of them flew together to the vicinity of the small valley, and were about to continue their advance when there was a strange movement in the aura in front of them, and a layer of light curtains suddenly appeared!
”Three fellow Daoists, please return! If you go forward again, I will be impolite.” A man’s voice sounded in the ears of the three at the same time, cold and calm, the very voice of Han Li’s words!
The Mei siblings and the white-clothed man exchanged glances, a look of astonishment and uncertainty appearing on their faces.
”May I ask if Your Excellency is that fellow Daoist, and what is your business on the island again?” The man surnamed Mei asked loudly in a subdued voice.
”I will count to ten, if you are unwilling to leave, stay forever! Ten, nine, eight ……” Han Li behind the white curtain had no intention of answering at all, instead his voice turned cold and he counted down nonchalantly.
The three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators’ faces changed, the other party’s tone was really big and scary, I don’t know if the other party was intimidating words, or if they were really JieDan Stage or above cultivators.
Just as the three hesitated, Han Li had already counted to half. This time the light curtain flashed, and a dozen puppet giant apes flew out from within, arranged in an arc and neatly leaning towards them.
”Not good, quickly retreat. These are all high-grade puppets, they are by no means something we can fight against.” The woman surnamed Mei seemed to have seen a great deal and instantly saw how powerful the giant ape puppets were, her pretty face swished white.
She then pulled her brother’s arm without saying a word and flew backward. The white man is not stupid, also saw the puppet’s power, sucked a mouthful of cool air and followed Mei’s siblings twisted their heads and left.
Seeing that these three people knew what to do and retreated, the sound of the countdown behind the light curtain came to an abrupt end. And those giant ape puppets chased out more than ten feet away, stopped and looked at them coldly and did not move. After seeing the three people fly out of the island without looking back, the great apes turned back and squeezed into the light curtain, disappearing!
Han Li, who was seated at the mouth of the valley, slowly opened his eyes with no joy on his face. Because he had clearly sensed that in addition to those low-ranking cultivators in the nearby waters, a JieDan stage cultivator had appeared. Although the other party’s recluse method was still quite skillful, but under the sweep of his divine sense, it was exposed without a doubt.
He hoped that the three people who had just retreated in shock would make the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator know what to do. He naturally wouldn’t be afraid of cultivators of this level of cultivation, he just didn’t want to go on a killing spree for no reason!
And this was only the beginning!
According to his estimation, if there was really any trouble, nine times out of ten, it would be on the last day. After all, there was a buffer of some time, and the high-ranking cultivators nearby should be able to get the news and arrive here.
