Chapter 178

Crossing the Sea and Fighting the Waves

Purple Eyebrows Taoist had an unyielding temperament. After spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, he was afraid that his Jindan would be stolen after his death, so he immediately screamed and said, "My adoptive father will kill you all for me!"

He suddenly poured a mouthful of Primordial Qi down and shattered the Jindan in his abdomen. His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and his Original Spirit drifted away. He died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan secretly felt pity. If he could let the "Nine Absorptions Magic Slip" absorb this person's blood essence, maybe his "Divine Contract" could be improved to a higher level.

Although Monster Queen Junyue's spear pierced through Purple Eyebrows Taoist's chest, in fact, she deliberately avoided the vital parts and did not really kill him. She only intended to capture him alive. Otherwise, this stab would have killed him.

What she did was not necessarily wrong. First, she was just a helper invited by Lu Junbai, and there was no hatred between her and the Xiao family. Second, holding this person as a hostage could make the other party have some scruples.

If Purple Eyebrows Taoist was willing to beg for mercy and voluntarily hand over the talisman that restrained Lu Meiniang, he could have kept his life. However, he was too impetuous. He felt that these people would not let him go after how they treated Lu Meiniang. If he fell into their hands, they might even retaliate. Therefore, he would rather kill himself than be humiliated and tortured.

Seeing that this person was so unyielding that they could not even catch him alive, Lu Junbai's face also darkened.

On this Egret Island, White Sky Demon King Lu Meiniang had been operating for a long time, and the cave residence was covered with big and small formations and restrictions. However, her daughter Yan Rong had told Xiao Mu all the ways to enter and exit. For the sake of convenience and for fear of leaving some unknown backups, Xiao Mu had forcibly demolished many formations, leaving only a few, which were of no use to him.

Now there was no place on this island that could be relied on. If the flying sword was gone, if Xiao Mu came back to seek revenge, where could they escape to on this vast ocean?

A trace of regret appeared on Monster Queen Junyue's pretty face. If she had been ruthless earlier, how could this happen?

Guo Lie looked indifferent and said with a smile, "If we can't beat him, we can leave. At worst, we can just split up and go our separate ways. Whoever is caught can only blame their bad luck, haha."

Zhang Yan remained calm and decisively said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please rescue Demon King Lu as soon as possible. We'll rush back to our Dragon Nation's ark. With our combined strength and the protection of the restriction, we can even resist the fierce attacks of a Nascent Soul cultivator for a while."

Lu Junbai's spirits were refreshed as if he'd found a life-saving straw, and he nodded repeatedly. He didn't have the time to say anything before hastily running into the abode.

Not long after, he carried out a white-clothed, black-haired woman. She was panting and her face was pale. She looked weak and weak. Demon Monarch Jun Yue rushed forward and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, how are you?"

The woman opened her beautiful eyes and said weakly, "Is it Junior Sister Jing? I'm fine."

Lu Junbai replied: "I have removed the talisman and removed the golden nails. It is just that my sister had a fierce battle with Xiao Musui earlier and her mana has been restrained for a long time. She is slightly weak and will recover after some rest."

Lu Meiniang raised her head again and looked at Zhang Yan, who was not far away. She said softly, "This is Fellow Daoist Zhang, right? Zhang Yan quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands to stop her. "Monster King Lu, you are too kind. This is not a good place to talk, it is better to leave as soon as possible."

Lu Meiniang nodded and looked around the island with a little reluctance. She patted Lu Junbai's shoulder and said, "Little Brother, listen to Fellow Taoist Zhang. Let's go."

Lu Meiniang nodded and glanced at the surroundings of the island with a slight sense of loss. She seemed to be a little reluctant to leave. She patted Lu Junbai's shoulder and said, "Little Brother, listen to Fellow Daoist Zhang.

Lu Meiniang nodded and looked around the island with a little reluctance. She patted Lu Junbai's shoulder and said, "Brother, listen to Fellow Taoist Zhang. Let's go."

The others also flew up into the sky and left the island.

A few hundred miles away, Xiao Han stood on a small island with his hands behind his back. He looked at the black mountain in front of him. He wore a high hat and a wide belt, his clothes fluttered in the wind. Together with his handsome face, he looked indescribably elegant and romantic.

Beside him stood a slender girl with long sleeves and a picturesque face. Her beautiful eyes were looking at him with deep affection.

From time to time, the two of them would whisper to each other, and from time to time, they would laugh.

Not far away from them, an old Daoist reclined against the clouds. His eyes were half-closed, but there was a flash of lightning in his eyes from time to time.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, and a flying sword pierced through the clouds.

The old Daoist furrowed his brows and waved his hand. The flying sword fell to the ground. He used two fingers to hold it and examined the Qi of blood on it. After calculating with his fingers, he sighed and said, "Xiao Lai, oh Xiao Lai, you didn't listen to me, so you died and your Dao disappeared."

Xiao Han also noticed the abnormality. He pushed the girl away and asked, "Fourth Uncle, what's the matter?"

Daoren said calmly, "Your sworn brother, Xiao Lai, was killed."

"What?" Xiao Han's face was filled with shock and anger. He said, "Who dared to kill a member of the Xiao clan?"

Daoren said expressionlessly, "This matter must have something to do with Lu Meiniang."

The girl was shocked and quickly grabbed Xiao Han's arm. She said anxiously, "Brother Xiao, mother was locked in the quiet room. How could she do such a thing? Is senior mistaken?"

Xiao Han swung his sleeves and broke free from her hand. He said coldly, "Why would my Fourth Uncle speak nonsense?"

Seeing his expression change, the girl didn't dare to say anything. Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked wronged.

Xiao Han coldly snorted and raised his hand to straighten his belt. He took two steps forward and bowed to the old Taoist and said, "Fourth Uncle, please avenge my sworn brother."

Xiao Mu's eyes were cold. He said, "I warned Xiao Lai long ago. He didn't listen to me, so he was courting death. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If you come to beg me, you have to follow the rules. I promised Fifth Brother that you can ask me for three things. I won't ask for anything else. Escorting you to the Eastern Sea is the first. You begged me to take down Lu Meiniang is the second. Now you're begging me to help you. This is the third. After these three things are done, even if your life is in danger, I won't help you. You have to think carefully. "

Xiao Han knew that people like his Fourth Uncle, who were Yuanying Enlightened Masters, valued their lives. If it wasn't for the fact that the matter involved karma, or if there was a great benefit in improving one's cultivation, he wouldn't help a junior disciple.

However, Xiao Han thought that after this trip to the Eastern Sea, he would be able to build his Gold Core. In the future, he could find a master with a high level of cultivation. He wouldn't need to bother this indifferent Fourth Uncle anymore.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Lai's sworn brother and I were good friends. Now that he was murdered, if I don't take revenge, what would happen to the Xiao clan's reputation? Fourth Uncle, please avenge my sworn brother and kill the person who harmed him! "

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Although his words sounded dignified, the real reason was not as such. It was a pity that Xiao Lai had died, but the relationship between the two of them was not that deep. However, if he could not even avenge the death of someone close to him, once he established his own clan in the future, who in the clan would come and rely on him?

Moreover, he faintly felt that this matter wasn't that simple. Lu Junbai hadn't returned yet, and this matter seemed to be related to someone else. If he could solve this once and for all, it would be the best.

Xiao Mu looked at him and said slowly, "Have you thought it through?"

Xiao Han bowed again and said seriously, "Fourth Uncle, please take action! Kill all these thieves! "

Xiao Mu nodded and stood up from the cloud. As his Daoist robe fluttered, a ray of light shot up and disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Yan and the others had already used their flying lights to the limit. When they saw the figure of the Dragon Country's ship appear in front of them, they all relaxed a little.

But at this moment, a thunderclap came from above the clouds. A cloud followed, and on it sat a purple-robed Daoren.

He saw that the five people in front of him were flying away, and there was a disdainful look in his eyes. He straightened his palm and muttered something. After a moment, he gently grabbed and released his hand, and a cloud of clear air fell. In an instant, wind and thunder rose from the flat ground, and a gust of wind rolled up thousands of tons of seawater, forming a circle of huge waves that surrounded Zhang Yan and the others. His cold voice seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens. "You are just fish in a shallow pond. Where can you go?"

Lu Junbai looked at the towering waves around him that rose high but didn't fall down, and then looked at Daoren who was chasing them from the sky. He smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't escape today. He gently helped Lu Meiniang down from his back, and said to Zhang Yan, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my sister later."

Zhang Yan nodded slightly.

Lu Junbai turned to Guo Lie and said, "Fellow Daoist Guo, life and death are at stake. We have no choice but to advance."

Guo Lie laughed heartily and said, "Master Guo, aside from my master, I've never fought a Nascent Soul cultivator before. Today, I'm going to have some fun."

Although Monster Monarch Jun Yue looked delicate, she knew that there was no way out in this situation. If she didn't fight, she would die. With a shout, her body turned into a rainbow light, and she was the first to rush up. The divine weapon in her hand stabbed towards Daoren's head.

Daoren was expressionless. He stretched out a finger, and a thin white gas gushed out from his fingertip, easily blocking the silver spear.

Lu Junbai knew that the three of them only had a chance of survival if they worked together. When Monster Monarch Jun Yue rushed out, he followed. But before he could get close, Daoren flicked his sleeve, and a cloud of smoke swept him in.

In an instant, he felt dizzy, and he spun around a hundred times. He felt weak all over, and he couldn't use any strength.

After an unknown period of time, he bit the tip of his tongue, and with a loud cry, he revealed his true form. An egret with a crest on its head, yellow eyes, black beak, and a body of white feathers broke through the smoke. It let out a clear cry, and turned to peck at Daoren's head.

The old Taoist sneered coldly, "How dare a coward like you show off?"

Just as he was about to attack, he frowned and dodged the spear. The cloud of smoke fell from his fingertip, and blocked Monster Monarch Jun Yue's next attack.

Although Guo Lie was a step slower, he was still on top of the cloud. He shook off the mysterious light, took out a talisman, and slapped it on the light screen behind him. Then, a strand of essence Qi rushed out of the light screen behind him, and with a deafening roar, a ferocious-looking white ape rushed out of the light screen.

The old Taoist had a cold smile on his face. He flipped his palm, and with a crackling sound, a bolt of purple lightning struck towards Guo Lie.

The purple lightning came so fast that Guo Lie couldn't react in time. But just as it was about to hit his body, a jade token flew out from between his brows. The jade let out a circle of colorful light, and within it, a Talisman could be vaguely seen. It stretched and shrank, and the purple lightning was swallowed.

Daoren frowned, and said, "Eh, it's Tao Zhenhong's Virtue Protecting Charm Token?"

Guo Lie calmed down after escaping death, and shouted, "Everyone, kill! Let's kill this Daoren!"

Monster Monarch Jun Yue and Lu Junbai charged forward without a word.

Anger flashed in Daoren's eyes when he saw the three of them coming at him together. He shouted, and a ray of light shot out from the top of his head. The light spread out like a fan, and in a split second, the clouds and smoke were dispersed. In the middle of the light was a Yuanying statue. Its body was covered in light gold, and its face was exactly the same as Xiao Mu. It held a horsetail whisk in its left hand, and a Dharma Plate in its right. Its feet rode on the wind and clouds, and it looked dignified and solemn. It stood on top of the smoke, and its voice sounded like thunder, "A few Core Formation cultivators dare to fight me?"
