Shortly after Li Haodong and his two companions sneaked into Qingli Island, a blue light suddenly flashed on the island.
The sea water around the island rolled violently, and in an instant formed 108 giant whirlpools surrounding the island.
The next second, the same number of blue water columns shot up into the sky, converging from all directions in a spiral shape, forming a blue water curtain that enveloped the entire Qingli Island.
Seeing this scene, two figures hidden in the sky immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Oh no! Fellow Daoist Sun and the others have been discovered!"
"Fairy Shuijing, come with me to break the formation!"
After a few brief exchanges, two figures appeared. They were two monks, one male and one female, one old and one young.
The male monk had an old face and a hunched body, looking like a decrepit old man, but the aura emanating from his body revealed a vibrant vitality.
The female monk had delicate features, a slender figure, and an otherworldly temperament, like an immortal descending from heaven, but the look on her face was as cold as ice, keeping people at a distance and making them intimidated.
As soon as she appeared, the Water Mirror Fairy waved her sleeves and released a silver mirror.
The surging magic power poured into the silver mirror, making the mirror surface instantly become bright silver, illuminating a thick silver light column, which slammed into the blue water curtain covering the outer periphery of Qingli Island.
As the deafening sound was heard, Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi's faces became extremely solemn.
“…As expected, there is backup!”
Zhou Shengzhi frowned tightly, feeling heavy-hearted and a little doubtful.
When did the Zhou family offend this group of people?
They actually let five cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan attack together...
But no matter what, the fact has already happened. If you want to trace the root cause, you must first overcome the current disaster.
At this time, hundreds of cultivators from the Zhou family were already in place. Each cultivator performed his own duties, holding a formation plate, and maintaining the two-layer island protection formation.
Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi looked at each other, and each took out their own magical weapon, ready to fight the monks outside the island with the help of the island protection formation.
"etc!"
Suddenly, ghostly aura filled the air around them, transforming into a cold grey curtain that blocked the two of them.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, a pretty face stretched out from the gray curtain and said eagerly, "You two, leave the two outside to me. You go deal with the three monks who broke into Qingli Island. I also want to see how this so-called island protection formation works!"
After saying that, Bai Youyou's face merged into the gray curtain and turned into a wisp of gray smoke that shot towards the sky.
Zhou Shengzhi's eyes widened and he quickly said, "Wait, Senior Ghost King, you haven't brought the formation plate yet!"
Bai Youyou acted so decisively that the two of them were unable to react immediately.
The protective formation of Qingli Island only recognizes the formation plate and not people. Without the formation plate, the blue water curtain will not let Bai Youyou leave.
Zhou Shengzhi showed helplessness when he failed to call Bai Youyou back. He immediately sent a message: "Second brother, you go maintain the formation. I'll go deliver the formation plate to the senior!"
Zhou Shengwei nodded, quickly transformed into a beam of light, and flew towards the Zhou family cultivators who were arranged in a formation.
Zhou Shengzhi took out the formation plate, soared into the sky, and chased after the wisp of gray smoke.
But before he was halfway through the flight, Zhou Shengzhi suddenly stopped, widened his eyes, and looked up at the sky in disbelief.
The gray smoke came to the blue water curtain and first forcefully hit the water curtain, causing ripples. Then it seemed to find that the water curtain did not distinguish between friend and foe, so it flashed and passed over it lightly.
"This...what kind of method is this?"
Zhou Shengzhi stared at the sky blankly, muttering to himself.
…
…
At the same time, on an island about three hundred miles away from Qingli Island.
Zhou Tianyi was chatting and laughing with the three people behind him, when suddenly his face changed and he took out a jade pendant that was flashing blue light.
"Oh no! Qingli Island has been attacked!"
“…”
Zuo Yu, Li Yun and Zhao Lihe looked at each other.
The former asked excitedly, "Do you want to go back?"
Zhou Tianyi's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down.
"I overreacted." Zhou Tianyi shook his head and chuckled, "I almost forgot that Sister Youyou and Danas are both on Qingli Island, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Zuo Yu retorted: "That's not necessarily true. What if a Divine Transformation cultivator attacks?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Isn't Danas's energy output data comparable to that of the Fusion Stage?"
Zuo Yu shook his head and said, "It's just the level of energy output. Immortal cultivators have many different methods, which are unpredictable. Maybe they can hurt him."
Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "You just want to go back and join in the fun!"
Zhou Tianyi smiled and raised the jade pendant in his hand: "Brothers, don't worry. Looking at the frequency of the blue light flashing, it should be a Dan-forming crisis. As long as Sister Youyou and Danas take action, it will surely be easily resolved!"
“It’s hard to say!”
Zuo Yu shook his head and encouraged excitedly: "These two lazy guys are not reliable. Let's go back and take a look. Anyway, the Jinyang Stone vein is here and it can't run away."
Seeing that Zuo Yu insisted on doing so, Zhou Tianyi and others had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Tianyi took out a flying boat, and everyone boarded the boat and rushed towards Qingli Island.
…
…
"Master Kurong, this Qingli Island protective formation is extremely exquisite. The blue water curtain connects to the sea water and it is continuous. It is difficult to break the formation from the outside in a short period of time with ordinary means. We must cooperate from inside and outside to cut off the water source before we can break a gap..."
"I don't have any good solution for now, I wonder if Master Ku Rong has any solution?"
A cold voice came from the front, and a smile appeared on Master Ku Rong's face.
"Don't panic, fairy. Just wait and see what I can do!"
Before he finished speaking, Master Ku Rong waved his hand, and countless green spots of light shot out from his sleeves.
Green spots of light scattered down, like a sky full of stars falling into the turbulent sea below.
The next second, the sea water surged even more violently, and countless brown objects with rough surfaces emerged from the water. They then grew wildly, and in an instant they turned into dozens of towering trees, covering the entire Qingli Island.
Seeing countless towering trees continuing to grow wildly, separating the island from the sea, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Master Kurong's slightly pale face.
"Fairy, this old man..."
Before he could finish, Master Ku Rong's face changed and he instantly turned into yellow light and fled forward.
But his action was still a little late. Before his body was about to turn into a beam of light, a slender ghost hand suddenly appeared and pierced through his chest effortlessly.
The escape light appeared, and True Man Ku Rong appeared beside Fairy Shui Jing.
At this moment, his face looked extremely ugly, and a hole appeared in his chest where his heart was, running from front to back.
Countless muscles as rough as tree roots squirmed near the wound, as if trying to tangle together, but were blocked by a layer of gray and cold ghostly aura.
"It's a Jindan-stage ghost!"
True Man Kurong sent a message to Fairy Shuijing.
The two men looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and looked solemnly at the place where the former had been.
I saw a ball of gray ghostly mist floating there, and a slender figure condensed in it, which was the female ghost who had suddenly attacked just now.
The female ghost lowered her head and looked at her own slender ghost hands, then looked at the wound on Master Ku Rong's chest and the towering trees growing out of the sea below.
"I almost forgot that the vital point of a Jindan cultivator is not the heart."
"We have to aim at his head and golden elixir!"
Bai Youyou muttered a few words, then looked at Master Kurong with great interest.
"You old thief, your martial arts skills are really interesting. Hand them over to me quickly, and maybe you can save your life!"
Bai Youyou put her hands on her hips and robbed Master Ku Rong with a clear conscience.
Seeing the words and behavior that were seriously inconsistent with the other party's image and temperament, Master Kurong and Fairy Shuijing could not help but be stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Master Ku Rong's face darkened, and he said in a sinister tone: "You are just a ghost creature, relying on the power of your ghost body to attack by chance, yet you dare to speak nonsense in front of me!"
As he spoke, a gray light flashed in the palm of Master Kurong's hand, and a gray banner with a ghostly aura appeared out of thin air.
"receive!"
Following a loud shout from Master Ku Rong, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared.
Bai Youyou was stunned for a moment, and the ghost body actually moved half an inch in the direction of the gray flag.
At the same time, Water Mirror Fairy seized the opportunity, turned the silver mirror plate, and blasted the silver beam of light towards Bai Youyou.
The two men spoke in awe and cooperated well with each other. It was obvious that they often hunted monsters together, or solitary monks.
In comparison, Bai Youyou seemed to have no experience in fighting.
In an instant, the ghostly body was engulfed by the silver beam of light.
The Water Mirror Fairy gritted her teeth and quickly formed a magic seal with her bare hands. Countless water mirrors condensed around the place where the female ghost was, reflecting back the silver light beams that passed by the female ghost.
For a moment, all the silver light blasted towards the unknown in the center almost without any leakage.
The terrifying energies collided in an instant, igniting each other and annihilating each other...
"boom!"
Finally, with a loud bang, the center of the light column exploded.
Countless silver energy aftermaths rolled out like waves, spreading in all directions.
True Man Kurong and Fairy Shuijing both had spiritual light on their bodies, blocking the impact of the aftermath of the energy.
But the silver light dissipated, and the center of the explosion was empty.
Seeing this scene, Master Ku Rong couldn't help but be stunned.
"...What about the female ghost?"
Before he could finish his words, a ghost hand suddenly appeared and snatched the gray flag from him.
"What is this?"
Bai Youyou looked at the eerie gray banner in her hand with curiosity.
True Man Kurong widened his eyes and answered subconsciously: "Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner..."
Bai Youyou suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out to be this thing!"
Only then did True Man Kurong react, and instantly took Fairy Shuijing with him and fled to the side.
"puff!!"
The next moment, the escape light appeared, and Master Ku Rong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, and looked with horror at the curious female ghost in front of him who was leisurely playing with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.
Fairy Shuijing looked a little bewildered, and couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission, "Master Ku Rong, what happened?"
Master Ku Rong swallowed his saliva and looked at Bai Youyou with horror and disbelief.
"She...she stole my Ten Thousand Demons Banner!"
