Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 96 - 94: Ascending Wuyin Island and Breaking the Formation!
"You!"
The young man from the Yuwen Family heard this, fury surged within him, a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:
"It seems you’re refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. I, as the king..."
Before he finished speaking, a blood hole appeared on his throat.
A light yellow jade stone crystal suddenly coalesced, shot out, its tip incredibly sharp, and fast as lightning, instantly piercing through his throat.
Until his death, he never sensed how this magic was unleashed.
"How dare you..."
The young man from the Yuwen Family staggered back a couple of steps, holding his throat, making a "hoho" sound, his eyes showing shock and reluctance, his body fell backward helplessly.
Zhang Yao slowly withdrew his finger, looked at the corpse of the young man lying on the ground, and said casually:
"I originally didn’t plan to bother with you."
"But since you provoked me, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."
As his words fell, the old man beside him finally reacted, shocked, and exclaimed:
"You... fellow cultivator, you killed him?"
"Killed him, so what? They were already at the door, should I have invited him to dinner instead?"
Zhang Yao waved his hand casually.
"This..."
The old man suddenly reacted, his throat slightly dry, and couldn’t help but ask:
"Fellow cultivator, could you be a middle stage Qi Refining Cultivator?"
This Yuwen Family’s young cultivator, though only at Qi Refining Second Layer, possessed the middle-grade Magical Artifact left by the Liu Family, capable of roaming the Cultivation Realm of the Lu Kingdom.
But Zhang Yao could kill him with a flick of his finger, clearly not just at the early stage of Qi Refining.
"That’s right."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said:
"I just broke through not long ago, originally planned to leave this place after this batch of Spirit Grass matures."
He said, glanced at the corpse of the Yuwen Family’s young man, and smiled:
"But now it seems there’s still a matter to attend to."
As his words fell, he waved his sleeve, stepped onto a Magical Artifact Flying Sword, and instantly turned into a yellow stream of light, flying into the vast sky.
"Fellow cultivator, wait for a moment, I’ll be right back."
After Zhang Yao’s Escape Light disappeared, the old man then reacted afterward—Zhang Yao was obviously going to Wuyin Island to uproot the Yuwen Family!
"Master!"
The young man beside him had shining eyes and said repeatedly:
"With such power from this senior, the Yuwen Family is definitely in big trouble!"
"...Indeed."
The old man’s expression shifted, his thoughts became lively:
"Having heard about Wuyin Island’s power yet daring to go head-on, he probably has great confidence."
Thinking to this point, he couldn’t help but feel excited inside, secretly hoping Zhang Yao would emerge victoriously, ideally directly exterminating the Yuwen Family.
After the fall of the Yuwen Family, these Lu Kingdom Loose Cultivators could finally see good days ahead.
........
High above in the sky.
Zhang Yao’s magical power surged, he rode the flying sword swiftly towards Jiangzhou.
With his current magical power, his flying speed was far beyond before, if not for the grade of the flying sword being a hindrance, he could even travel thousands of miles a day.
"Since I broke through to middle stage Qi Refining, I happen to need a new Cultivation Hideout; after eliminating the Yuwen Family, staying at Wuyin Island would be nice."
Zhang Yao felt carefree, not considering the Yuwen Family to be a threat.
With his formidable magical power now, holding a high-grade Magical Artifact, he’s enough to rival late-stage Qi Refining, and if he uses the Heavenly Defect Secret Technique, he could even challenge Perfection in Qi Refining.
The small Yuwen Family, even with a high-grade Magical Artifact, can’t stir up a storm.
And if the Yuwen Family indeed hid something that could threaten a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, obviously it’s impossible; if they possessed such a thing, Elder Lady Liu wouldn’t have fled to Lu Kingdom for refuge back then.
More than an hour later, Zhang Yao had crossed over a thousand miles, from Yun Province in the southwest of Lu Kingdom, all the way to Jiangzhou.
"We’ve arrived at Bai Bo Lake..."
High above in the sky, Zhang Yao stood on his flying sword, gazing down at the enormous lake that stretched far beyond sight, he couldn’t help but recall past memories.
Back then, Li Xiaofeng of the Cao Bang actually guessed correctly that there was indeed an Immortal Family within Bai Bo Lake—the Wuyin Island, the leader of the three major Spirit Veins, hidden deep within Bai Bo Lake.
But he waited a lifetime, only to wait for the wrong person.
The white-robed gentleman he encountered back then wasn’t a cultivator from Lu Kingdom, because Qi Refining Cultivators fundamentally lacked the ability to traverse storms.
Faced with the majestic power of heaven, even remnants of the thunderstorm must at least be crossed by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Perfection in Qi Refining is still far off.
The cup of Immortal Family’s fine wine that transformed him clearly wasn’t from Lu Kingdom either.
"In a blink of an eye, nearly two hundred years have passed."
Zhang Yao felt a multitude of emotions.
When Li Xiaofeng encountered, who did he meet by Bai Bo Lake back then, after so many years, it’s already impossible to verify.
Time passed, Wuyin Island changed hands several times, now it belongs to the Yuwen Family, but soon it will bear the surname Zhang.
A moment later, Zhang Yao drove his flying sword and ventured deep into Bai Bo Lake, immediately spotting an island engulfed in fog.
Wuyin Island isn’t big, only seven or eight miles in circumference, but the lake surface surrounding it for tens of miles is covered with thick fog, filled with hidden reefs, making it a forbidden area for fishermen.
After a dozen breaths, Zhang Yao arrived outside Wuyin Island.
A yellow-brown banner slipped out from his sleeve, landed in Zhang Yao’s hand, he infused it with magical power, and it expanded against the wind.
"Go!"
Yellow-brown fog rose, transformed into an earth-yellow giant python, and smashed down fiercely.
Just hearing a "boom" resounding explosion, the fog within a hundred feet radius scattered, the protective array guarding Wuyin Island was forcibly blown open, leaving a breach.
Faced with the full power of a high-grade Magical Artifact, the protective array that once guarded Wuyin Island and slaughtered indiscriminately was nothing but paper tigers.
"Who?!"
A shout echoed from Wuyin Island, a light hurriedly ascended.
Zhang Yao rushed into Wuyin Island, his gaze swept over, seeing six cultivators.
The leading person, driving a flying sword, was floating in mid-air, about fifty years old in appearance, wearing a purple python robe, looking at Zhang Yao with uncertainty.
The five cultivators below, both old and young, were gathered together, holding Magical Artifacts and guarding vigilantly.
They were all dressed in bright yellow python robes, their style identical to the robe of the Yuwen Family cultivator who died at Zhang Yao’s hands previously.
"Who are you?!"
Yu Wenhua cautiously spoke, a trace of fear and uncertainty in his eyes.
With his realm at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, he couldn’t see through the cultivation of the person before him, clearly indicating the other’s realm was higher.
When did such a strong presence appear in the Cultivation Realm of the Lu Kingdom?
"Who I am is irrelevant."
Zhang Yao spoke slowly, his tone calm:
"So-called disaster and blessing have no gates, it’s only people who summon them upon themselves; your Yuwen Clan has dominated the Cultivation Realm in Lu Kingdom for decades, it’s time to pay your debts."
"Today, I have come specifically to take your lives."
Yu Wenhua’s expression darkened upon hearing this:
"Courting death... Attack!"
As his words fell, including Yu Wenhua, six Qi Refining cultivators from the Yuwen Clan simultaneously attacked, various magical artifacts flew out, aiming at Zhang Yao’s vital points.
In an instant, a yellow-brown fog surged like a sandstorm, forming a thick wall of fog surrounding Zhang Yao.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
The magical artifacts of five early stage Qi Refining cultivators hit the protective layer created by the Thick Earth and Cloud Banner, only causing some ripples in the yellow-brown fog, but unable to shake it at all.
"Thud!"
A dull sound like beating drums exploded.
Yu Wenhua also landed on the ground, sacrificing a grindstone-sized Stone Inkstone, which pounded heavily against the wall of yellow-brown fog, only to get stuck deeply within, unable to extricate itself.
