Chapter 550 – Changes on Wind and Thunder Island
Chapter 550 – Wind and Thunder Island
The Vermillion Bird Fire tried to escape from the gap, but ran head-on into the long-prepared Meteorite Heart Flame.
Vermillion Bird Fire and orange-colored Meteorite Heart Flame ruthlessly entangled together, the two burst out of the high temperature, so that the surrounding space for a while distorted.
Even the walls on all sides began to emit a burst of black smoke, and even the formations could not prevent this high temperature.
The flames collided, emitting a silent hiss, each trying to devour the other.
The Meteoric Heart Flame was of a higher grade, but it was incomplete, having been absorbed by Little Walnut with much of the essence of fire.
Otherwise, with Xu Chuniang’s strength, there was no way to absorb it.
The Vermillion Bird Flame was of a slightly inferior grade, and there was a Vermillion Bird’s shadow flickering vaguely in the firelight, emitting a vague chirping sound like a flame that would never be extinguished.
Xu Chuniang hurriedly maneuvered the Yiyuan Heavy Water to scatter it around the feet of the formation, which protected the house from being destroyed by the two fires fighting each other.
The two fires fought each other for three days and three nights, and in the end, it was the Meteor Heart Flame, which had a level of suppression, that prevailed.
Vermilion Bird fire from the baby fist size of a group, was swallowed more and more small, finally left a soybean size point, stubbornly emitting dazzling red light.
There was a Vermillion Bird’s mournful cry that emanated from it.
Compared to three days ago, the Meteorite Heart Flame was much more powerful.
It swooped down on the Vermillion Bird Flame for the last time, devouring the last bit of vermillion red light.
After devouring the Vermillion Bird Flame, the Meteorite Heart Flame seemed to have taken a tonic, the whole thing brightened up a lot and recovered to the appearance of a Grade 4 Medium Grade.
It touched Xu Chuniang’s fingertips affectionately and silently disappeared into her body.
Feeling the Meteoric Heart Flame, which was much more powerful than before, Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but feel that the Vermillion Bird Flame was really a good thing, no wonder so many people wanted it.
For the Zhu Family’s Young Lord to be able to give this item away freely, he was truly rich and generous.
After devouring the Vermillion Bird Flame, Xu Chuniang didn’t delay any longer, calling up Little Orange and Little White in the next room, she was ready to head to the Hall of Merits to receive her quests.
However, just as she left the house, she realized that the atmosphere on the island was unusual, adding a few points of gravity compared to usual, as if something bad had happened.
When she stepped into the Hall of Merit, a striking message above the light screen in the hall further verified the suspicion in her heart.
The southeast and west sides of Wind Thunder Island had been surrounded by millions of sea demon beasts, leaving only the north side unencircled.
The island had issued an urgent mission to kill the Sea Demon Beasts, and even asked all cultivators to stand by and participate in this battle of life and death.
Xu Chuniang’s heart sank slightly, the excitement that had arisen from devouring the Vermillion Bird Flame fading away quietly.
A few months ago, there were vague rumors that the Sea Demon Beast would make a move against Wind Thunder Island.
Ever since the news had spread, Wind Thunder Island had strengthened its guards and sea patrol forces.
Unexpectedly, this day still came.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes swept over the battle report that had been sent back not long ago, since yesterday, the southeast and west sides of Wind Thunder Island had been surrounded by Sea Demon Beasts, but so far, these Sea Demon Beasts had not launched an attack.
The Sea Demon Beasts had surrounded the south-east and west sides, leaving only the north side behind… was it a deliberate trap, or had they abandoned the north side due to a lack of strength?
In a few short breaths, many thoughts flashed through Xu Chuniang’s mind.
As a large island, Wind Thunder Island had hundreds of large and small teleportation arrays, and it wasn’t that easy for the Sea Demon Beasts to take down Wind Thunder Island in a short period of time.
However, in the face of a three-sided siege by millions of Sea Demon Beasts, Wind Thunder Island’s desire to win in a short period of time was likewise not an easy task.
If both sides were evenly matched, this would be a long-lasting battle.
Xu Chuniang suppressed the worries in her heart, and after receiving the merit quest, she walked towards the outside.
After exiting the Merit Hall, next door was the Teleportation Hall. As she passed by, she could faintly hear noises and arguments coming from inside.
“Why don’t you let me leave Wind Thunder Island? I have spirit stones, I want to get out of here!”
“The Siren Beasts have surrounded the island on three sides, a great enemy is at hand, all cultivators on the island are forbidden to leave the island and fully respond to the Siren Beasts!”
“Dealing with the Sea Demon Beasts that’s a matter for high level cultivators, I’m just a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, I can’t play much of a role at all in a battle at this level, staying is just a dead end!”
“The survival of Wind Thunder Island concerns every cultivator on the island! Among the sea demon beasts that have come to invade our island, apart from the YuanYing and Jindan realms, there are more sea demon beasts in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.
The Siren Beasts are still able to go to the front line to fight and kill the enemy, how can my human cultivators escape from the battlefield?”
“It’s just some low level sea demon beasts, how can they be compared to human cultivators? Anyway, I don’t care, I have to leave Wind Thunder Island today!”
Hearing the several bickering voices emanating from the teleportation hall, Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed slightly as a thought flashed through her mind.
A great battle was about to start, and a group of cultivators on the island were forbidden to leave.
The Sea Demon Beasts purposely didn’t besiege in the north, could it be that they were deliberately giving these people who were timid to flee the battle, leaving a path of escape so that they could weaken the power of the island?
With a thought, Xu Chuniang headed towards the north.
Sure enough, in the northern waters, saw several figures hurriedly fleeing.
These cultivators were predominantly Foundation Stage, interspersed with some Jindan Stage cultivators and Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Without running a few steps, they were stopped in their tracks, and a cool female cultivator wearing a white dress without any powder stood in front of these people.
The two Jindan cultivators recognized the identity of the visitor, their faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly arched their hands as a salute and said.
“Greetings to True Lord Lingyu!”
The other cultivators were horrified to learn that the female cultivator in front of them was a YuanYing True Monarch and hurriedly made a salute.
“Greetings, True Lord Lingyu!”
True Monarch Lingyu’s gaze swept over these people, her voice as cool and melodious as jade striking against stone, “Where do you want to go?”
Being swept by the eyes of the YuanYing True Lord, the crowd only felt that all the thoughts in their hearts were revealed, and subconsciously lowered their heads.
“We came to the north …… to survey the enemy.”
“Right, I heard that the Sea Demon Beasts have besieged the southeast and west, so we thought of coming to the north to see if there are any Sea Demon Beasts.”
“Liar!”
True Lord Lingyu coldly swept over the dozen or so people in front of him, and said nonchalantly.
The two Jindan cultivators’ faces changed slightly, and they were immediately speechless.
A few low-ranking cultivators thought that staying would most likely be difficult to escape death, but they hardened their hearts and said.
“True Lord, we I did lie, but this is also a last resort ah! If Wind Thunder Island could stay, or the teleportation array wasn’t closed, who would want to risk nine deaths to escape from the sea?”
“We are just some small cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, we don’t have any great skills, if we really go to the frontline to kill the enemy, we won’t even be able to raise a single splash, and we will be reduced to cannon fodder.”
“Please still ask True Lord to let us live, we’re just some Qi Practicing Stage cultivators, there’s no difference with or without us.”
Listening to the pleas of several people, Lingyu True Lord was unmoved, lightly opened his thin lips, and said words that caused the faces of those present to change drastically.
“Those who flee in cowardice, die!”
