Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 221 - 151: Return to the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market
Deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Even after escaping a long distance, Lin Chang’an could still feel the intense turbulence from the terrifying aftermath of the battle.
"Brother Lin, hurry up."
After escaping a certain distance, the two no longer needed to hide their swift escape, while the demon beasts deep within the Cloud Mist Mountains began to stir restlessly.
At this moment, in Celestial Profound City, the protective formation of the mountain was activated.
Under the gaze of countless cultivators, an elderly, gaunt man with gray hair, wearing a blue-green robe, stood erect on the back of a Profound Water Turtle.
"Master Lu! He..."
In Celestial Profound City, under the watchful eyes of countless cultivators, someone couldn’t help but shed tears because of the sense of decay emanating from Master Lu, which even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could feel.
"This aura of decay, Master Lu has truly aged."
Though some were unwilling to accept it, they had to acknowledge it.
The decline of the number one loose cultivator brought them sorrow, for once Master Lu withered away, there would be no more sky for loose cultivators within the Seven Kingdoms.
"Those abhorrent sects can’t stand us loose cultivators having a foothold."
"Sometimes, people like us loose cultivators don’t even have the chance to compete for a place rich in spiritual energy."
"Indeed, the Seven Kingdoms have produced only one Master Lu in a thousand years..."
Within the city, countless loose cultivators couldn’t help but weep, pondering their future as Master Lu aged.
"Master Lu, I admire you as the number one loose cultivator of the Seven Kingdoms, but your era has passed!"
"Having reigned for a lifetime, if you are willing, Master Lu, our Li Huo Palace is willing to assist your daughter in forming her core."
Figures exuding terrifying auras as Core Formation Masters appeared.
Li Huo Palace and Divine Sword Sect brought forth four Core Formation cultivators.
Seeing the opponents, Master Lu, standing outside Celestial Profound City, couldn’t help but smile.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect this old bag of bones to still be on anyone’s mind."
As the hoarse voice resonated, the aura of decay made the four Core Formation cultivators secretly shake their heads.
Within just a few years, he had aged to this extent. Without the late-stage Tier Three Profound Water Turtle, he wouldn’t even catch their eyes.
"Master Lu, stop deceiving yourself. The sky of Yue Kingdom is beyond your reach."
Standing on the back of the Profound Water Turtle, despite his old age, Master Lu was still not to be underestimated at this moment.
He was a fading old dragon.
"Master Lu, if you’re obstinate and incapable of change today, beware of ruining your good name in your twilight years!"
Among the four Core Formation cultivators, some were arrogant, while others tried to persuade him kindly, but none genuinely wanted to fight to the death with the aging Master Lu.
"Cough, cough, my friends, since you covet the Celestial Profound City I fought to build, do you dare face me?"
Master Lu, clad in his azure robe, feigned a frail old man’s demeanor. As these people grew increasingly cautious, he silently cursed in his heart.
A bunch of cowards, even in my declining years, they don’t dare approach.
Isn’t this just taking advantage of his old age to prevent him from catching any fish?
The four Core Formation cultivators were wary of Master Lu, but they weren’t truly afraid.
"Old Turtle Lu, do you really think everything is within your calculations? Don’t think we are unaware that your daughter is preparing for Core Formation in the Cloud Mist Mountains!"
As a Golden Core Elder from Li Huo Palace sneered and mocked, the previously declining Master Lu suddenly erupted with a surge of evil energy, instantly charging forward.
"Courting death!"
The four Core Formation cultivators were delighted, as long as the old turtle moved away from Celestial Profound City, they wouldn’t fear any traps.
However, with the reverse scale being touched, Master Lu raged with an explosive temper, immediately summoning his lifebound treasure. The Profound Water Turtle also erupted with an imposing aura.
"Master Lu, rest assured, we mean no harm, we merely want to invite Mr. Su to be our guest."
Outside Celestial Profound City, a terrifying battle among Core Formation cultivators erupted, while within the city, countless cultivators bore serious expressions.
Some Seven Countries cultivators and some tribulation cultivators were watching from the shadows.
Even if they intended to exploit the chaos, they had to wait for the situation to clarify.
Otherwise, if they meddle now, the great formation of Celestial Profound City could trap them all inside.
Old Hu, stationed at the Black Market, watched the battle between the Golden Core cultivators outside the city with a solemn expression, silently praying:
"Brother Lin, Mr. Yun, your timing for leaving was truly unfortunate, just don’t die out there. Otherwise, this favor would be one Old Hu might renege on."
When the turmoil began, they had sent sound transmissions to Yun Yao and Lin Chang’an, but with no response, they realized the two had likely departed.
...
Deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
As the two warships launched powerful attacks, the Four Symbols Xuanwu Array roared and rumbled, with its golden light growing dimmer.
"Senior brother, we’re about to give out!"
Inside the array, everyone looked tense, knowing that it might have been different if the Four Symbols Xuanwu Array was in peak condition, but two traitors emerged.
"Friends of the Divine Sword Sect, don’t hold back, or watch out for unforeseen developments."
Seeing the lengthy attack, despite the warships’ immense power, their own resources also dwindled rapidly.
Huang Tianxiao gritted his teeth, leaping into the air, a talisman materializing in his hand.
"Haha, good! Let’s join forces to break the array." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator from Divine Sword Sect also produced a talisman.
"Not good! These are Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talismans!"
As the luminescence of two Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talismans gleamed, the Four Symbols Xuanwu Array instantly began to crack.
Witnessing this, Su Miaoyin’s expression changed, and she coldly commanded, "Everyone, leave!"
Song Tingfeng let out a long howl, summoning a spirit beast, and locked his furious gaze on the two traitors, roaring:
"One day, you’ll beg for life but find no death!"
