Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 322 - 192: The Lu Family and the Wang Family (Part 3)
The three major families on the island, along with these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, would not casually activate the Array Tower, as it would consume their Spirit Stones.
However, Lin Chang’an still made his way to the Array Tower and, seeing the slots in the tower already filled with Spirit Stones, nodded secretly.
Previously, they had activated it twice, but it was only to withstand disasters like torrential rains, which didn’t consume much.
This time, the Beast Tide is different.
"Judging by the weather and previous knowledge, the Beast Tide should occur within these two months. Let’s set up the array in advance."
Lin Chang’an descended from the Array Tower and went directly to the mountains and beach area outside the tower.
He patted his Storage Bag, and under the flickering Spiritual Light, several Array Flags expanded and planted themselves around.
Subsequently, Lin Chang’an activated the Array Disc, and finally, a large-scale array appeared.
A fiery red Barrier slowly formed and then disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, and information about the array surfaced in his mind.
"The Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array, although not attribute-restraining against Sea Beasts, its greatest wonder lies in the Evil Energy.
The more the slaughter, the denser the Evil Energy, enhancing the array’s power. It’s suitable for facing the Beast Tide."
"Moo!"
The Cyan-Horned Bull also came over, clearly sensing the terrifying crisis below the sea.
Lin Chang’an chuckled softly, patted the Spirit Beast Bag, and the Phoenix Cry Bird flew out excitedly.
"And you, this time, let me see your full capabilities. After all, you are a fierce bird."
This palm-sized Phoenix Cry Bird proudly puffed its chest, making him have doubts.
This exotic beast, hopefully, won’t disappoint him.
Though its previous power was good, fast, and its beak extremely sharp, this time, it’s unknown how it will fare against the sea’s Demon Beasts.
After all, attribute-wise, it seems it might even be restrained.
On Jade Spirit Island, the Ping, Feng, and Li families eagerly gathered their clansmen, preparing for this Beast Tide.
After the Island Protection Array was activated, it was up to them to see how many Demon Beasts they could hunt.
Also, there were the Wen couple and that elusive cultivator with the surname Fang.
Everyone was preparing for this feast of Demon Beasts.
Meanwhile, around the Sea Abyss, many Cultivators could be seen establishing arrays on barren islands or waiting together.
These were Loose Cultivators.
This was a celebration for Cultivators and a feast for Demon Beasts.
The Human Race Cultivators treat Demon Beasts as resources, and Demon Beasts similarly consider Human Race Cultivators as food.
...
On a nameless deserted island.
A dense assembly of hundreds of Cultivators, merchant ships docking in a secret cave.
Meanwhile, a powerful array was erected on the island, making many Loose Cultivators frown and leave upon seeing it from afar.
It was clear this was a coalition of large forces, and these Loose Cultivators didn’t want to be involved with them.
And the hundreds of Cultivators on the island were clearly divided into two groups.
"Madam Lu, giving up the harvest from this Beast Tide would mean a considerable loss."
One group was Wang Family Cultivators, with the Wang Patriarch smiling broadly as he spoke.
Facing Wang Family’s demand for benefits, the Lu Patriarch, a beautiful middle-aged woman, just smiled lightly.
"After the Beast Tide, the gains of the three families on Jade Spirit Island and their accumulated resources over the years, isn’t that enough?
Or, if you are so powerful that you don’t need to conserve your strength, we naturally won’t stop you from hunting Demon Beasts."
Through their conversation, it became apparent they planned to wait until after the Beast Tide to attack, taking advantage of the three families’ exhaustion.
"Madam Lu, if your husband was as capable as you are, the Lu Family wouldn’t have fallen to this point."
Hearing this, many Lu Family Cultivators showed anger but couldn’t refute it.
In the past, they were too arrogant, and ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators made too many enemies.
"Alright, rest assured, we have insiders on the island, and when the time comes, we’ll easily infiltrate it."
"Very well, as Madam suggests."
Both groups of Cultivators were conserving their strength; the Wang Family looked forward to the upcoming plunder, while the Lu Family was determined to reclaim Celestial Star Island.
What about repercussions?
The Lu Family wasn’t on the wanted list; they just wanted to reclaim what was theirs.
Legitimate and reasonable.
Survival of the fittest is all too normal in the Demon Beast Abyss.
Those above wouldn’t care about the fate of those below, as long as it wasn’t excessive.
"Moreover! Ping, Feng, and Li families, your mistake was not recognizing the situation clearly."
Madam Lu’s expression was indifferent, confident in leading the Lu Family back and gaining recognition from Five Dragons Island.
Five Dragons Island isn’t solely dictated by the Long Family.
