Chapter 3573: Let Go and Fight

The stronger Wang Changsheng's revealed power, the more it suggested that the Wang family had acquired abundant cultivation resources from the Xuanling Heavenly Lord's training grounds. Wealth stirs greed, and this made their enemies even less likely to spare the Wang family.

Wang Yongqian directed the clan members to teleport away. The Ye family had already warned them, so they were well-prepared. One hundred and eight one-way teleportation arrays had been built on the island, allowing them to transport people from Qinglian Island to various strongholds on the mainland.

Clan members stepped onto the teleportation arrays. All one hundred and eight one-way teleportation arrays activated simultaneously, capable of teleporting thousands of people at once.

In less than fifteen minutes, Wang Yongqian and most of the clan members had teleported away. Wang Yidao, who was stationed in the Myriad Flame Mountain Range, had not yet returned and would not be able to make it back quickly.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan personally controlled the defensive formation. Nine Mahayana cultivators had joined forces to breach it, but they had not yet succeeded. Huoyunzi, notably, did not possess a powerful array-breaking artifact like the Spirit Breaker Blade.

Booming explosions reverberated as various spiritual lights engulfed the yellow barrier.

Huoyunzi's brow furrowed. While their group seemed to outnumber the Mahayana cultivators they could see, he was unaware that Wang Tunian, Wang Xiuluo, Wang Naluo, and others were hidden, meaning Qinglian Island actually had more Mahayana cultivators than them.

"Junior Martial Brother Wang, why are there so many Mahayana cultivators?"

A surprised male voice sounded.

Zhao Yunxiao flew out from a mountain peak and landed in front of Wang Changsheng.

"Senior Martial Brother Zhao, have you advanced to the Mahayana stage?"

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised; the Wang family had hidden some of its strength, and it seemed the Zhenhai Palace had done the same. They had invited Song Yuchan to assist, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yunxiao had arrived instead.

"Yes, I heard your family was under attack, so I came," Zhao Yunxiao said solemnly. "Senior Martial Sister Song is contacting the Jade Talisman Immortal of the Xuanqing Sect."

"Everyone, don't hold back. It's better to break the formation quickly to avoid further complications," Huoyunzi said, frowning as he saw Zhao Yunxiao. He hadn't expected another Mahayana cultivator to appear, realizing that the Wang family had been concealing their true strength all along.

Huoyunzi extended his right index finger, his hand emitting dazzling golden light. A clear bird cry echoed, and a golden long rainbow shot forth, blurring as it transformed into a gigantic three-legged Golden Crow.

This was not a mere manifestation of spiritual power, but a secret technique called the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Finger. Originating from the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll, this technique required the essence blood of a Golden Crow to cultivate. Huoyunzi and Qin Qianqian had discovered the remains of a Golden Crow, from which they obtained its true spirit essence, a remnant soul, and some essence blood. They refined the true spirit essence, which improved their aptitudes and significantly accelerated their cultivation speed. Qin Qianqian refined the remnant Golden Crow soul into a damaged Xuantian treasure, while Huoyunzi used the Golden Crow essence blood to cultivate the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Finger, a secret technique of immense power.

"Hmph, they're not a major clan. The protective formation of a small clan can't be that strong," a short, stout old man in a golden robe scoffed dismissively. This was Jin Ting, an early Mahayana stage cultivator from the Jinchi tribe.

He raised his right hand, and a green light shot forth, instantly appearing above Qinglian Island. It was a shimmering green disc, exuding astonishing spiritual energy, clearly a high-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Jin Ting formed a hand seal, and the green disc immediately burst forth with dazzling green light, from which countless profound runes emerged.

A series of loud thunderclaps echoed from high in the sky as a hundred-zhang-diameter silver lightning pillar descended from the heavens, striking towards the yellow barrier. The Lightning Guiding Disc, refined primarily from an eighth-tier Lightning Guiding Pearl, could guide heavenly lightning to harm enemies. The silver lightning pillar struck the yellow barrier with a dull thud, causing the yellow barrier to ripple for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

Jin Ting formed another hand seal, and the Lightning Guiding Disc burst forth with dazzling spiritual light. An even thicker silver lightning pillar than before descended from the sky, striking the yellow barrier. Simultaneously, the three-legged Golden Crow also crashed into the barrier. The yellow barrier caved inward, its spiritual light flickering incessantly.

A sharp bird cry rang out as a three-legged Golden Crow, wreathed in countless golden flames, materialized out of thin air and crashed into the yellow barrier. The barrier's spiritual light dimmed, and faint, slender cracks became visible. Golden light flashed, and a gigantic golden peak shimmered into existence, smashing down onto the same spot. Luo Xiao and the others all launched their attacks at that precise location.

"I'm back," Wang Yidao said. He flew out from a mountain peak, his expression cold. Upon receiving the news, he had used several large teleportation arrays to rush back to Qinglian Island as quickly as possible.

"Let's go out and meet them," Wang Changsheng said solemnly. With all clan members below the Mahayana stage having withdrawn, they could now fight without restraint. If they allowed the enemies to break the formation and engage in a full-scale battle on Qinglian Island, even if they annihilated the invaders, the island would be reduced to ruins. Building was much harder than destroying. Though the clan members had withdrawn, the island still contained numerous spiritual herb gardens and protective enchantments, all of which were valuable assets.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Zhao Yunxiao, Wang Yidao, Wang Chan, Wang Chan, Wang Yulan, Wang Qingxiao, and Liu Hongxue flew out to meet the enemy. Wang Xiuluo, Wang Naluo, and Wang Tunian remained hidden as backup, seeking opportunities to launch surprise attacks and ready to intervene if their clan members were outmatched. Wang Naluo had already advanced to the mid-Mahayana stage, meaning that in terms of Mahayana cultivators, the Wang family was not inferior to the enemy. The enemies had traveled a great distance to attack, so they must have prepared treasures or special abilities to counter them. The Wang family had to keep something in reserve.

"Luo Xiao, this is your chance for revenge. I don't need to say more; you know what to do!" Jin Hong said solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, rest assured, I know what to do," Luo Xiao said with a frown. "However, True Master Taihao controls a spiritual domain, and I am not his match."

"Junior Martial Sister Qin and I will deal with True Master Taihao. The rest of you handle the other Mahayana cultivators and finish this quickly," Huoyunzi commanded, his face filled with killing intent. He did not underestimate his opponent and intended to join forces with Qin Qianqian to deal with True Master Taihao.

Huoyunzi formed a hand seal, and countless red fire spears, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, materialized out of thin air and shot straight towards Wang Changsheng. Qin Qianqian formed a hand seal, and the three-legged Golden Crow lightly flapped its wings, flying directly towards Wang Changsheng. Wherever it passed, space tore apart. Jin Hong and his six companions simultaneously launched attacks against Zhao Yunxiao and his group.

Zhao Yunxiao engaged Luo Xiao, Wang Yulan and Wang Qingxiao confronted Jin Hong, Wang Yidao battled Jin Ting, and Wang Chan and the others each chose an opponent.

Wang Changsheng dared not be careless. He formed a hand seal, and a vast expanse of azure seawater surged around him, protecting him. Simultaneously, hundreds of thousands of blue water blades, each over ten zhang long, materialized out of thin air and surged towards the enemy.

Resounding roars filled the air as various spiritual lights intertwined high above, and energy waves rolled outward. Over a dozen Mahayana cultivators dispersed and engaged in battle high in the sky.

Wang Ruyan's opponent was a burly man in a golden shirt. The man was protected by a sea of crimson flames, which violently churned before numerous thick, crimson fire dragons, each as thick as a waist, flew out from within and charged directly towards Wang Ruyan.
