Chapter 264: Chapter 262 Nanli Island Chapter 264: Chapter 262 Nanli Island After the great battle, the sailors were extrely terrified. They had witnessed a war between cultivators, with figures flying through the air, spiritual beasts galloping across the battlefield, and magical treasures flying chaotically. The scene was so shocking that these people, who thought they had out to sea with their heads tied to their waistbands, truly experienced what it ant to walk the line between life and death.
Transcendent Wuya, Li Fengling, and the six cultivators from the Fuyun Sect were all healing. The great ship cut through the waves without abandoning its goal, still sailing toward the set coordinates.
At night, under the gentle glow of the moon.
Inside the elegant cabin, moonlight shone through the window, casting a particularly beautiful glow on Lin Man’s pretty face.
“This ti, we owe you a lot…”
Lin Man said softly, “If you weren’t here, I might have been abducted by Long Zhuojun by now, and perhaps executed on the spot.”
“Pfft…”
Ning Daoran sprayed out the spiritual tea he was drinking, “The battle has just ended, and my heart is still racing, can’t you speak more seriously when we talk?”
Lin Man chuckled.
“What realm are you actually in?”
“Golden Core Early Stage.”
Ning Daoran said, “Genuine Golden Core Early Stage cultivation. It’s been many years since I’ve hidden my realm.”
“Golden Core Early Stage… killing Late-stage Baodan…”
Lin Man’s beautiful eyes were filled with wonder, “Then when you reach the Gold Core Late Stage, couldn’t you leap tiers and kill Nascent Souls?”
“You’re thinking too much.”
Ning Daoran said, “I’ve clashed with Nascent Souls and I’m well aware of the chasm between Golden Core and Nascent Soul. It cannot be crossed rely through talent or qualification. Unless absolutely necessary, I would never consider making enemies with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even after advancing to Gold Core Late Stage.”
“Mhm…”
Lin Man nodded gently, “On this sea voyage, Fellow Daoist, you’ve revealed so many of your secrets, aren’t you worried?”
“Many concerns.”
Ning Daoran smiled faintly, “But Talisman Master Lin, rest assured, after I capture the Six Yin Fu Rong Snake for you, I will have a way to make everyone who accompanied us forget about this.”
“Erase their mories?” Lin Man was surprised.
“Talisman Master Lin knows too much, which isn’t good. It tends to shorten one’s lifespan.”
“Oh…”
Lin Man wrapped her arms tightly around herself, looking frail and helpless, “Fellow Daoist, don’t kill . Lin Man has always been wholeheartedly with you, and if it weren’t for more important matters at hand, I might even consider accompanying you for a while.”
Ning Daoran gave a faint smile, naturally not taking such words to heart.
Lin Man was a woman harboring many secrets, a type best left untouched to avoid unnecessary trouble for oneself.
…
Half a month later.
Ning Daoran stepped onto the deck with Big Stupid Deer, and imdiately, Li Fengling and the six sword cultivators from Fuyun Sect looked at him with imnse respect.
“Senior Ning,” Li Fengling greeted with a fist salute.
“It’s nothing, I’m just walking around; you don’t need to mind .”
“Yes!”
Not far away, at the prow of the ship, Transcendent Wuya was seated in ditation, surrounded by a swirling aura of Golden Core.
After half a month of healing, his injuries had stabilized. The shattered part of his chest had regrown flesh and even so lost organs were regenerating. The fearso bodily strength of a Golden Core Stage cultivator was truly terrifying.
Of course, this was also related to spirit pills and such dicines. To recover as quickly as possible, Transcendent Wuya had consud a large amount of top-grade elixirs, depleting more than half of his storage bag’s reserves in an instant.
“Rustle, rustle…”
Footsteps sounded as Lin Man also walked onto the deck, dressed in a long gown and shawl, her short hair slightly fluttering in the sea breeze. She was stunningly beautiful with bright eyes and white teeth, and devastatingly gorgeous.
She stood side by side with Ning Daoran, looking toward the distant horizon.
She held nothing but disdain for Transcendent Wuya at the ship’s prow.
In the recent battle, before it had truly begun, Transcendent Wuya had already contemplated abandoning the ship and fleeing. Lin Man had seen this with her own eyes, so now his status in her heart had plumted.
A Great Cultivator hired for 20,000 spirit stones thought to flee at the first sign of danger—did he really think Lin Man’s 20,000 spirit stones were so easily earned, as if blown in by the wind?
By comparison, although Li Fengling was clumsy, he at least had the courage to throw a punch, many tis stronger than Transcendent Wuya.
“Talisman Master Lin.”
Li Fengling sent her an awkward glance.
Originally, his cooperation with Lin Man as an Early Stage Martial Artist was not entirely genuine; he was one of her admirers. But after his performance in the battle against Long Zhuojun… Li Fengling felt ashad. Although Ning Daoran was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, the combat power he displayed was worlds apart from Li Fengling’s, incomparable.
“Mhm.”
Lin Man smiled and nodded, providing a slight warmth to Li Fengling’s heart.
On the other hand, Transcendent Wuya’s expression turned extrely ugly.
He had always considered himself a superior based on his higher realm, yet now his status on the ship was extrely awkward.
However, it was not easy to leave, having accepted 20,000 spirit stones. Those stones had been spent to obtain a Jiedan Elixir for a talented junior, and it was impossible for him to refund the 20,000 spirit stones at this point.
‘Hmph…’
Transcendent Wuya snorted silently in his heart, his gaze flicking toward Ning Daoran who was comfortably enjoying himself, and felt an increasing hatred. He already had so resentnt in his heart.
‘Although this fellow has remarkable combat power and can contend with Late-stage Baodan Martial Artists, he is ultimately too green. Upon our return to the Immortal White Dragon City, I’ll spread the news of him killing Long Zhuojun and see how he copes.’
‘Many people are on this sea voyage with Lin Man, and it is unlikely others will know that I was the cause. Once the news is out, forget Long Zhuojun’s friends, even the Xu Family likely won’t let him off.’
‘And furthermore, Ancestor Xu of the Xu Family is at the Nascent Soul Stage and has ruled over the Immortal White Dragon City for hundreds of years. He will certainly not allow such a talent to rise in Yizhou. Once the news spreads, Ancestor Xu will probably make his move, and that will be Ning Daoran’s end!’
“Young man, such exuberant energy, destined not to live long!”
…
Several days later, the large ship entered a remote sea area.
Half a day later, an island appeared above the sea level, where a mighty demon Qi surged, making it sowhat suffocating to approach.
Nanli Island, the destination of this journey.
According to the information that Lin Man held, the Six Yin Fu Rong Snake lurked around Nanli Island. Although it last appeared twenty years ago, the snake was innately timid and never strayed far from its dwelling. This place must be one of its fixed haunts; hence, the likelihood of it appearing in the vicinity of Nanli Island was extrely high.
“Be careful, the demon Qi is strong…”
Ning Daoran looked at the dimly visible island.
“Hmm.”
Lin Man took out a large number of talismans from her storage bag, most of which were second-tier, but there were also quite a few third-tier talismans. She said, “A Third-tier Middle-level Demon Beast, the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard, lives on Nanli Island. My original plan is to use a large number of talismans to subdue it. Only after slaying the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard will the Six Yin Fu Rong Snake dare to erge.
Otherwise, with the fierce beast like the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard in charge, the Six Yin Fu Rong Snake may not dare to co out.”
“Talisman Master Lin indeed makes a valid point.”
Ning Daoran nodded slightly and pulled half of the talismans from her hand.
“…”
Lin Man was sowhat speechless.
With Ning Daoran’s strength, it would probably not be difficult for him to directly kill the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard, but he still kept so many of Lin Man’s talismans. As expected, despite his appearance as a stunning, Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator, he was still a miser at heart.
“Shall we go ashore?”
Transcendent Wuya suddenly spoke.
“Exactly.”
Lin Man said, “I have already discussed with Senior in advance that we need to go ashore to subdue the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard and then await the appearance of the Six Yin Fu Rong Snake. Senior should rember, right?”
“Alright then.”
Transcendent Wuya took away more than a dozen talismans, including three third-tier talismans, and said, “My injuries have stabilized. Since I have accepted others’ trust, naturally, I must contribute my strength for Talisman Master Lin.”
“Good, I thank you, Senior.”
Before long, the large ship reached the shore. The sailors stayed on the boat, while Lin Man, Ning Daoran, and others went ashore.
Demon Qi intertwined wildly on the island, naturally devoid of human habitation.
Ning Daoran released more than a dozen B Class Paper n to help explore the way.
“Fellow Daoist Ning…”
Lin Man tilted her head to look at one of the B Class Paper n, a female cultivator dressed in beige sect clothing, with delicate features and short hair. At first glance, she even bore so resemblance to Lin Man!
“Ah?”
Ning Daoran’s face reddened as he transmitted his voice: “When refining the Paper Man, I did it casually. Perhaps at that mont, I had Talisman Master Lin’s image in mind; thus, this Paper Man was created on a whim.”
“Oh?”
Lin Man’s lips curled slightly: “Does Fellow Daoist think of Lin Man when alone?”
Ning Daoran was slightly taken aback.
The man, who was older and still a virgin, felt awkward and at a loss for words.
At this mont, suddenly from ahead ca a “yoyo” sound of deer’s cry. Streams of golden light shot into the sky as a powerful prohibition was triggered, and Old Lu was now trapped within it.
“This is bad!”
Ning Daoran rushed forward instantly, becoming careless and not noticing the hidden prohibition in the ground!
This prohibition was at least third-tier top-grade, and it couldn’t be broken or breached in a short ti!
“Old Deer, don’t panic, stay calm.”
He glanced at Big Stupid Deer and said, “Everyone be careful, this place is ominous.”
Everyone took out their talismans and treasures, with a wary expression.
“Hum—”
Suddenly, a black shadow swept across, and the eyelids of three Fuyun Sect sword cultivators jumped wildly. They were shocked and dismayed; before they could even trigger their talismans, they were swept by the shadow and turned into three patches of blood.
Too fast!
So fast that even Foundation Establishnt Cultivators couldn’t react.
In an instant, a vast aura descended from the sky, manifesting as the spiritual pressure of a demon beast, causing everyone to dare not take a breath.
In the sky, a ferocious head poked out from the canopy, staring directly at Ning Daoran and the rest.
The Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard!
However, the information given by Lin Man was wrong—this Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard had clearly reached the Third-tier Late Stage!
“Roar—”
With a roar from the Green Fla Two-tailed Lizard, a heavy spiritual pressure rolled over, and a stream of Demon Fla spewed from its mouth, heading straight for Ning Daoran and the others.
“Be careful!”
Ning Daoran imdiately brought out the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet. In an instant, an ice barrier condensed in front of them, blocking all the Demon Fla from outside.
…
“Oh?”
A hoarse voice ca from deep within the island: “The Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet… Wasn’t this the treasure of young Jinxia back in the day?”
