Chapter 3885: Blocking the Door (None Today)

Wang Changsheng flew out from the void, looking somewhat disheveled but otherwise unharmed. He had deployed a low-grade defensive immortal artifact, which blocked most of the damage from the second-tier immortal talisman. Then, he used his divine ability, the True Stand Shadowless, escaping with no serious injuries. Any other top-tier true spirit would have been severely wounded, if not killed.

Wang Ruyan and the others also flew out of the void. Wang Chan opened his mouth and spat out a golden mist, enveloping Qin Long's Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul let out an extremely painful shriek. A hideous beastly shadow emerged on its surface, consumed it, and then the beastly shadow itself disintegrated. Qin Long had a special restriction planted on him. If anyone attempted to perform soul-searching, the restriction would immediately activate, preventing any such attempt.

"He is a core disciple of the Beast Spirit Sect, unlike Qin Chi and the others. Ordinary soul-searching methods won't work," Wang Chan said. He had already captured the spirit of the Dragon-Lion Beast and was searching its soul. The Dragon-Lion Beast, however, did not have such a powerful restriction, and it possessed a good deal of information.

"A core disciple of the Beast Spirit Sect!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed, his brows deeply furrowed. They needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Wang Tunian flew up from the ground, holding two storage bracelets, which he handed to Wang Changsheng. By this time, the yellow strange beast had also been killed, and its spirit and corpse were collected by Wang Chan.

"There are other True Immortal cultivators on the island!" Wang Tunian said, frowning as he looked towards the southwest.

Wang Changsheng let out a cold snort and punched. A massive blue fist shot out, flying rapidly towards the southwest. Tens of thousands of miles away, in a green bamboo forest, the blue giant fist shot through, snapping green bamboo stalks in half. A dazzling spiritual light shone from a particular green bamboo, and Yan Yuyan appeared. Her eyes filled with terror; the opponent's divine ability was too powerful! To be able to detect her from such a distance, especially when she was hidden by a treasure.

Yan Yuyan hastily brought out a small, gleaming golden mirror and infused it with immortal elemental energy. The mirror surface emitted a blinding golden light, unleashing a golden mist that enveloped the blue giant fist. The golden mist collided with the blue giant fist, crumbling like paper. The blue fist shattered it, and Yan Yuyan's figure swayed, allowing her to evade the blue giant fist.

With a resounding boom, the blue giant fist slammed into the ground, causing it to crack open. An enormous, long fissure appeared, rapidly expanding. A sky-piercing dragon's roar echoed, and Yan Yuyan instantly felt dizzy, her surroundings blurring. A cold female voice whispered in her ear: "Are you companions? Come along then! Save him from being lonely."

Yan Yuyan's eyes glazed over. Her vision blurred, and she found herself in a magnificent golden palace. A robust young man in golden robes sat on the main seat, his gaze regal. "Alliance Leader, why are you... No, an illusion." Yan Yuyan realized something was wrong. She felt a chill in her chest, and the scene before her disintegrated. A white long spear pierced through her chest. The white long spear gave a slight tremble, and an extraordinary cold energy surged forth. Her body rapidly froze, turning into a massive ice sculpture. With a loud crack, the ice sculpture shattered into pieces. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from within, instantly self-destructing.

"The Radiant Moon Alliance must know she's fallen. Once they investigate, they'll quickly trace it to Cangli Island," Wang Chan said, frowning.

"Never mind them. Let's go to the treasure vault first! Hopefully, we can break through the restriction, take the treasures inside, and leave Cangli Island," Wang Changsheng urged. This was the Radiant Moon Alliance's territory; the longer they delayed, the higher the chance of the Alliance's experts arriving. They needed to seize every second now. Wang Changsheng deployed the Jadeite Boat, carrying them northeast.

Not long after, they landed on a high peak. Below was a vast valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, completely barren of vegetation. The rock walls were rugged and uneven, appearing otherwise normal. Wang Changsheng punched, and a massive blue fist flashed out, striking a section of the rock wall. The rock wall shook violently, and countless profound runes emerged, forming a black light door that emitted strong soul fluctuations. Countless profound runes could be seen on the black light door, twisting and distorting as if alive.

Wang Chan and Wang Chan each opened their mouths and sprayed out a golden mist, which landed on the black light door. The black light door rippled, and all the runes on its surface glowed brightly, condensing together to form a strange-looking monstrous beast. It opened its mouth and spat out a black pillar of light, directly aiming for Wang Changsheng and the others. Fortunately, they had been prepared and dodged it in time.

"A soul restriction!" Wang Changsheng muttered, his brows furrowed. Wang Chan and Wang Chan had no way to deal with this soul restriction, let alone the others.

"Forget it. Let's abandon this for now. First, we need to find the control hub and leave Cangli Island," Wang Changsheng decided immediately, changing his plan without hesitation.

"Master, let's try other methods!" Wang Tunian said, somewhat unwillingly.

"If no one had discovered Cangli Island, we could take our time trying. But it's different now. With Yan Yuyan's death, the Radiant Moon Alliance's experts will surely arrive soon. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to," Wang Changsheng said, frowning. He was reluctant, but given the situation, they had no choice but to depart.

Wang Ruyan formed a hand seal, and her True Fire Eyes appeared, scanning the island. They wandered around the island, searching for the control hub.

Outside Cangli Island, a large number of cultivators had gathered high in the sky, ranging from Integration Stage to True Immortals. Yan Shuheng's brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze fixed on the golden light door high in the sky. His clansmen had sent a message: Yan Yuyan's life soul lamp had extinguished, meaning she must have died here. He dared not enter himself and so notified the Radiant Moon Alliance's Inspector. The Radiant Moon Alliance's True Immortal cultivators were already on their way.

A golden streak of light appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying towards their location. Not long after, the golden streak of light stopped, revealing a shimmering golden flying boat. Three men and one woman stood aboard, led by a stout, silver-robed old man with an imposing gaze.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you've finally arrived." Yan Shuheng breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, what lies behind the golden light door?" the silver-robed old man asked.

Xu Lei, a Great Perfection True Immortal, happened to be passing by on an errand when he received the news and immediately rushed over.

"I don't know either. Ancestor Yuyan and Fellow Daoist Qin from the Beast Spirit Sect have already gone inside. Ancestor Yuyan has already met with misfortune, and there's no news of Fellow Daoist Qin yet," Yan Shuheng replied truthfully.

Xu Lei pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go in and take a look. Immediately send people to seal off this area. No matter what's behind the golden light door, any cultivators who come out, apart from us, are to be killed without mercy." He had already notified Golden Immortal cultivators, who were on their way. With that, he formed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat instantly shone with brilliant golden light, flying into the golden light door.

There was a towering, steep peak with a vast plaza on its summit. In front of the plaza stood a red palace, over ten zhang tall. Wang Changsheng and the others stood at the entrance of the red palace. The plaque above bore the three characters "Cangli Hall." Using her True Fire Eyes, Wang Ruyan discovered a place with powerful restrictions, very likely the control hub. They had broken through the outer restrictions to reach this location. They had soul-searched Bai Yunshuo's Nascent Soul and obtained a good deal of useful information. As long as they had the key, even if Cangli Island became hidden again, they could still sense its location within a certain range. Wang Changsheng punched open the gates of Cangli Hall, revealing a spacious and brightly lit hall before them.
