Chapter 538 Siege of Suzaku Island
Bai Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh? Senior Jiuge, could it be that you want to take in a disciple?"
"Accepting disciples? No, no, no. It's more interesting to watch others raise disciples. I can't teach them myself." True Lord Jiuge decisively refused.
"If Senior Jiuge is willing to accept this girl as his disciple, then if he has the opportunity to ascend and leave this world one day, the array tradition he created throughout his life will also have someone to inherit. Unfortunately, Senior Jiuge is unwilling."
Jiuge frowned. "Although what you said makes sense, there's no need to provoke me. I absolutely cannot accept you as my disciple. However, if this little friend Qingwan is interested in studying the art of formations, I might be able to give her some pointers."
"Okay, okay." Bai Lan nodded with a smile.
With the ability to receive personal instruction from Jiuge, the Yuling Sect will surely have another genius in formation in the future.
While they were talking, Qing Wan, who was struggling in agony from the burning flames, gradually calmed down. With Bai Lan's help after reloading the game twice, she finally succeeded in refining the tamed Nanming Lihuo.
Bai Lan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the plan she had tried out to subdue the spiritual fire was feasible and could be included in the Yuling Sect's library. The price was... one thousand contribution points.
"Senior..." Qing Wan suddenly opened her eyes, looked down at the dancing flame in her hand, and looked up at Bai Lan in disbelief: "I, I successfully subdued the Nanming Lihuo!"
"Well, we've arrived at your home. Lead the way. I want to meet the two island masters." Bai Lan raised his chin.
The joy did not last for a second, and Qing Wan's heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to smile bitterly and walked ahead to lead the way for Bai Lan.
Perhaps it was because the three Nascent Soul cultivators following Bai Lan were too large a force to be reckoned with, so that before they could even successfully step onto Suzaku Island, the two island masters on the island raised a large island protection formation.
"Who are you, sir? Why did you come to my Suzaku Island with three Nascent Soul cultivators in such a threatening manner?" The woman's majestic voice with reverberation rang out from the magic circle.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged voice with reverberation rang out: "Wan'er is the young master of Suzaku Island. I beg you to release her safely. Otherwise, you will be an enemy of Suzaku Island."
"You two elders are joking." Bai Lan chuckled and patted Qing Wan's shoulder: "Go back. I think these two are the masters of Suzaku Island. I will discuss the rest with your parents."
Qing Wan's back trembled when she was slapped. What good would it do to go back? A wisp of her soul had already been given to this demon, and her life was no longer under her control.
Qing Wan flew back to her parents on her sword with tears in her eyes. Seeing their concerned eyes, she whispered, "... Dad, Mom, a strand of Wan'er's soul is in this person's hands."
"What!!" Both of them were shocked, glaring angrily at the black-clad woman standing on the green dragon in mid-air. "Junior! Hand over Wan'er's soul, or we will hunt you to the ends of the earth! The Suzaku Formation of my Suzaku Island has even killed late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so a few mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are no problem!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, the two-layer formation surrounding Suzaku Island suddenly started to operate with an imposing manner.
Qing Wan suddenly became anxious: "Dad, Mom, you..."
She wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how. She couldn't just say to her parents, "Dad, Mom, please stop fighting and give up a wisp of your soul to save your life..." Her parents would definitely think she was crazy.
"Wan'er, don't be afraid. Dad and Mom will protect you."
The couple unanimously protected Qingwan behind them, their voices loud and powerful.
Qing Wan: “…”
Bai Lan chuckled, showing no fear at all. He raised his hand and captured Jin Heng and two other Nascent Soul cultivators who were currently in the sect as strong men.
"Who are you going to kill this time?" Jin Heng said in a deep voice.
He Gui scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and said silently, "It looks like we've reached the Boundless Sea. The Sect Leader has probably set his sights on a certain island this time."
They have become accustomed to the fact that after returning to the sect headquarters, they will be caught by the sect leader at any time and taken to strange places to fight.
The couple in the distance looked at each other, their eyes drooping.
Three Nascent Souls were already difficult enough to deal with, but how come there were two more!!! One of them was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
"Senior Jiuge, please help the five elders break this magic circle. Just suppress it and don't hurt anyone."
True Lord Jiuge swept his consciousness around, and after a moment he spoke calmly, "This is an eighth-level defensive formation created with the spirit of the Vermillion Bird. It contains a seventh-level killing formation. The center of the eighth-level defensive formation should be the Vermillion Bird stone pillar in the Xun, Li, Bing, and Ding directions. Shatter it, and this formation can be broken."
Jin Heng and He Gui looked at each other, flew up, and headed straight for the center of the formation.
"The core of the seventh-level killing formation is between Kun and Dui. There is a late Jindan cultivator in the Geng and Xin directions. If we capture him, the formation can be broken."
The two Soul-Binding Ancient Vine cultivators sneered and looked at each other. They rushed forward and released their killing moves to directly restrain the two Nascent Soul cultivators, giving the other Nascent Soul demon cultivator time to capture the cultivator at the center of the formation.
With the secret help of the God Transformation Master, the five Nascent Soul cultivators shattered the center stone pillar of the formation in just a few breaths, captured the True Eyes cultivator, and broke the two major formations on Suzaku Island.
The speed was so fast that the two island owners were frightened and their faces turned pale.
The last second they were planning to fight to the death, and the next second their biggest reliance, the island protection formation, was...broken?
If the defensive formation is broken, with only the strength of the two of them, it is hard to say whether they can survive, let alone protect the island.
"Who are they? When did such a force appear in the Boundless Ocean? It's so terrifying..."
"Could it be that this is an external force that wants to seize our Suzaku Island and come to kill us?"
"Dad, Mom..." Qing Wan couldn't bear it any longer and took a step forward: "Stop fighting, stop fighting."
"Wan'er, don't be afraid." The woman's expression turned fierce, and she raised her hand and threw Qingwan to the middle-aged man in the distance.
"Brother Yi! Take Wan'er away quickly! I'm here to stop these thieves. Even if I have to burn out my life, I'll hold them off for a moment!"
The middle-aged man suddenly panicked, pushed Qingwan back into the woman's arms, and spoke angrily.
"No! Yuanmei! Take Wan'er away! I'll stop them!"
Qing Wan was thrown back and forth, and finally pushed several thousand meters away by the couple. "Wan'er, run! Quickly get to the island and take the teleportation array to leave! Mom and Dad will buy you some time!!"
Qing Wan held the small teleportation array in her hand, unable to escape or not escape.
Bai Lan stroked his chin, watching the couple in the distance planning to commit suicide together. He couldn't help but smack his lips, "How touching... Elder Fu, use your pressure to shock them first, so they don't disobey and explode on their own... Seriously, you didn't even give me time to explain."
