Chapter 123 Blood Bamboo Island Attack and Defense
Seeing Yu Fanyi's reaction, Yu Mingwu was not angry.
Clan cultivators have their own constraints.
Anyway, if Yu Fanqianruo still wants the family to take care of her in the future, she will have to do her part for the family.
"Be careful, the demon-summoning talisman is reacting!"
Upon reaching the depths of the blood bamboo forest, we still had not seen the stop marker.
The person who was scouting ahead suddenly called out loudly to those around him.
"Where is it!"
"Underground...?!"
--boom!!
As the Yu family cultivators frantically dodged, a powerful Moon Gazing Eel burst from the ground, biting the lower half of a Yu family cultivator who was holding a Demon-Seizing Talisman, and then spitting it out.
The blood from the body, now severed in two, splattered across the forest, landing on the dark red blood bamboo, adding to its eerie appearance.
The fish, Mingwu, was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat!
"How did that person, Wangyue, raise it? This monster eel is enormous!"
The blood bamboo stalks collapsed one by one.
The yellow insects' bodies, emerging from the ground, carved out a flat area in the forest, their roars echoing throughout the entire Blood Bamboo Island.
Back when it was first being cultivated, it was already thirteen zhang long and its head was bigger than a human's. Now, more than twenty years later, its body is nearly twenty zhang long and its tail can shatter large ships sailing from outside the island.
"This monster's behavior is strange! Instead of looking at the moon, it actively attacked us?!"
The Yu family's advance formation was forcibly broken, and the cultivators who were moving forward kept fleeing.
They didn't have the formations of the upper sect. Ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators couldn't even damage the scales of these yellow worms with their flying swords.
"cut!"
Yu Mingwu's flying sword hovered high in the bamboo forest, carrying the power of the ninth level of Qi Refining as it crashed down. Its trajectory was unpredictable and elusive, a testament to the Yu family's sword-controlling technique.
The yellow worm ignored them, shrank its head, sprang up, and bit another Yu family cultivator next to it.
During this process, Yu Mingwu's flying sword failed to strike the target head-on, only piercing half of the sword blade, delaying Huang Chong's actions for a moment before achieving nothing further.
"This is probably close to becoming a peak-level demonic beast!"
Yu Fanqian took a step back and recalled her flying sword.
These words sent a jolt through Yu Mingwu's heart.
What is the concept of a first-tier peak demonic beast? Before the Seven True Immortal City was established, first-tier peak demonic beasts were the nightmare of Xiaoxin Island. Unless the Master of Baozhou took action, anyone who encountered a first-tier peak demonic beast in the wilderness would have to boast about just being able to escape, let alone hunt it down.
The most famous one is the white tiger.
With the limited resources of the Yu family, if they were suddenly attacked by a peak first-tier demonic beast, they wouldn't have enough to kill.
"Don't panic. This Moon-Gazing Eel's demonic aura isn't yet at the peak of the first tier. Maintain formation and retreat. Fan Qian, you and I will personally cover the rear. We'll procure some magical artifacts and talismans specifically targeting this demon another day before we settle this matter!"
"..."
They came on strong, but left quickly.
In the middle of the night, the Yu family hastily retreated from the depths of the Blood Bamboo Forest and escaped by boat.
Yu Mingwu, with disheveled hair and a purplish-blue face, sat on the deck holding a sword. Seeing the Moon-Gazing Eel chasing after him, he did not go into the water but instead went to hunt down the Yu family's working cultivators on the island, destroying their residences and cultivation methods completely.
They just didn't leave the island to chase after them.
Yu Mingwu breathed a sigh of relief and directed the boats to pick up the monks who were working.
"After the death of Daoist Wangyue, this demon has gone mad without anyone to control it. It kills everyone living on the island indiscriminately. We'll deal with it another day!"
While demonic beasts are indeed powerful, cultivators are adept at using tools, possess a wide variety of cultivation techniques, and have many unique methods.
With proper preparation, the vast Snake Sea won't be threatened by a single Moon-Gazing Eel.
Amidst Yu Mingwu's cursing, the ship sailed away from Blood Bamboo Island and disappeared from sight.
……
The fish family had just left.
Blood Bamboo Island.
Li Jieqing appeared, standing in the destroyed charcoal workshop, and stopped the yellow worms who were killing with great enthusiasm.
"I've always taught you not to eat people. What's so delicious about people?"
"Besides, if you eat, what will I eat?!"
"He deserves to be hit!"
With a slap, Li Jieqing knocked the half-body of the yellow worm that it was angrily holding in its mouth, and scolded it twice. Then, he took out a small box of white jade spirit rice from his storage bag.
These are the seven 500-year-old white corn plants. Since they were ripened by the Ruyi Green Lotus, they have not withered and the entire plant has changed dramatically. The stalks have become thicker and the shape is like a tree. The white corn that grows on the top is like a canopy. It no longer grows one crop after another regardless of the season, but hangs on the branches like spiritual fruits. The fresh grass and spiritual energy is so rich that it makes people's mouths water.
The yellow worm smelled the box of white corn and eagerly swished its tail as it approached.
Seeing that Li Jieqing didn't slap it again, it stretched out its mouth and bit the box of spirit rice, then went to enjoy it.
After dismissing Huang Chong, Li Jieqing formed a hand seal with both hands to create the Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record. He then mobilized his magic power to collect the corpses of the Yu family cultivators on Blood Bamboo Island one by one and drain their essence and blood.
"It's a waste that resources that can be accumulated over a long period of time are turned into a one-off deal."
Li Jieqing carefully collected the essence and blood of the Yu family cultivators, intending to consume it when the sky was overcast. He then set fire to the remains, burning them completely to make it appear as if the corpses had been eaten by the Moon-Gazing Eel.
Those collapsed dwellings do not need to be repaired.
Those collapsed dwellings do not need to be repaired.
They did not extinguish the fire on the outer perimeter caused by the fire talisman set by the Yu family cultivators, but simply waited for it to go out naturally.
Li Jieqing stood on the broken dock, his brows furrowed as he looked towards the direction of the Yu family on the main island.
He had previously thought it best to let Daoist Wangyue reveal his identity in the Immortal City, precisely to prevent this situation from happening.
He hadn't returned to the Immortal City for several months, so people assumed he had died in the outer sea and was trying to seize the spiritual land of Blood Bamboo Island. In particular, the Yu family had always coveted the entire Serpent Sea and had finally been unable to hold back any longer.
If Li Jieqing could show his face in the Immortal City as the Daoist Wangyue, even if he faked his death after showing his face and created a new identity to inherit the spiritual land of Blood Bamboo Island, this trouble could be nipped in the bud.
At least with his new identity, he can make a formal appearance and teach the Yu family a lesson for overstepping their bounds, instead of having to hide and wait for Huang Chong to take action, just like he does now.
Unfortunately, the Seven Immortal Cities are far too dangerous.
Li Jieqing, seeking to protect himself, chose to stay away from the area altogether, not even bothering to fake his death and adopt a new identity.
The recent developments in the Immortal City have confirmed that his choice was correct.
It's been about five or six days.
Li Jieqing hid in the Serpent Sea, and during this time, he learned about the current situation of the miscellaneous servants and rogue cultivators who had run away through the Blood Slave's messenger. He was shocked by what he saw.
Hurry up and give birth!
He had barely reached the Serpent Sea when the Seven Immortals of Immortal City tightened their search and interrogation, no longer bothering to conceal his presence.
Not only did Qi Zhen summon all the flag bearers to the inner city, but he also personally went to Wanbaoge. Seeing that the situation had escalated into a fit of rage, he was determined to find out the truth about the lost treasure, even if it meant breaking ties with Wanbaoge.
If the 210 flag bearers and Wanbaoge cannot find out, they are prepared to spread the matter throughout the entire island.
The Seven True Ones, with their immense power, occupied a near-third-tier spiritual vein and established an immortal city. For decades, they had always regarded Xiaoxin Island as something they could take at will. In a moment of emotional turmoil, they didn't mind turning the entire island upside down and searching it.
