Chapter 4017: Encounter at Qinglian Island

In the waters near Qinglian Island, a team of Wang family cultivators was patrolling, led by a tall man in a blue shirt who was at the early True Immortal stage. As Wang Qingshan had led a team to attack the Rainbow Clan's territory, the Wang family had also heightened their vigilance to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

Deep beneath the sea, a massive blue clam was slowly moving. Inside the giant clam, Jiang Yuqing and a tall, slender man in a golden shirt stood together, conversing. The man in the golden shirt had colorful spirit patterns on his body, resembling a rainbow, indicating he was from the Rainbow Clan. This was Jin Sheng, at the early Golden Immortal stage. The Rainbow Clan currently had two Golden Immortal cultivators. Jin Sheng was a hidden force of the Rainbow Clan and would not have acted had it not been for this conflict. He had been in the Golden Immortal stage for fifty thousand years but had not yet mastered the law to the minor completion stage.

“There are quite a few restrictions here,” Jin Sheng said with a frown. “It will be difficult to sneak past them undetected.”

The Wang family was allied with the Qi family through marriage, so Qinglian Island must be protected by a Level 2 immortal formation. Even without a Golden Immortal cultivator stationed there, it wouldn’t be easy to breach Qinglian Island.

Jiang Yuqing’s face was filled with confidence. With a flip of her right hand, a golden light flashed, and a shimmering golden orb appeared in her palm.

“A mid-grade immortal artifact?” Jin Sheng said with a frown. “If we force our way through the restrictions, the Wang family will surely activate the full power of their Level 2 immortal formation. The Qi family's Golden Immortal might even come to their aid.”

“Don’t worry, this Golden Qilin Pearl has the spirit of an early Golden Immortal Golden Qilin Worm refined into it. Its restriction-breaking effect is excellent. I’ve already made arrangements: True Immortal cultivators will attack the islands controlled by the Qi family. If the Qi family’s Golden Immortal neglects Golden Alligator Island, then they can come support the Wang family. However, we must act quickly and decisively. If we delay too long, the Qi family’s Golden Immortal will definitely come to reinforce them,” Jiang Yuqing said.

With a slight flick of her wrist, the Golden Qilin Pearl flew from her hand. She channeled a spell into it, and the pearl spun rapidly, emitting a brilliant golden light. When the light dissipated, a gigantic Golden Qilin Worm appeared.

Jiang Yuqing chanted a spell, and the giant clam's shell opened. The Golden Qilin Worm opened its mouth and spat out a golden mist, which struck a point in the void. The void rippled, and a golden light portal materialized. The giant clam flew into the golden light portal. The portal closed behind it as if it had never existed. The blue giant clam continued to advance underwater. Whenever a restriction was encountered, Jiang Yuqing would use the Golden Qilin Pearl to open a path.

On Qinglian Island, in a fragrant garden filled with birdsong, Wang Mengbin sat in a stone pavilion. On the green stone table before him lay a map covered with numerous inscriptions. It was a map of the Vast Moon Alliance's territory, detailing the locations and territories of all subordinate forces. It was highly detailed.

Wang Mengbin took out a shimmering silver communication disk. He channeled a spell into it, and Wang Yongqian's urgent voice sounded: “Ancestor Mengbin, enemies are approaching Qinglian Island. They might be Golden Immortal cultivators.”

“Execute the first plan,” Wang Mengbin said. “Activate the clan protection formation immediately.”

“Yes, Ancestor Mengbin,” Wang Yongqian replied.

Wang Mengbin put away the communication disk and murmured to himself: “They intend to attack Qinglian Island? So, they pick on the weakest targets, huh? Too bad they picked the wrong target. We’re no pushovers.”

The island had two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons and Golden Immortal-stage bean soldiers. Wang Mengbin was not afraid, but out of caution, he still needed to instruct his clan members to retreat into the Qinglian Immortal Abode to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the battle. Large numbers of Wang family members swiftly headed towards the ancestral hall, which contained the entrance to the Qinglian Immortal Abode. The clan members entered through it.

The sea surface near Qinglian Island erupted as Jiang Yuqing and Jin Sheng flew out from beneath the waves. Jin Sheng flicked his sleeve, and twelve shimmering golden flying daggers shot out. Each was a low-grade immortal artifact. The twelve golden flying daggers instantly merged into one, forming a colossal golden blade that slashed towards Qinglian Island.

Jiang Yuqing conjured a miniature mountain peak, continuously flowing with golden light. She channeled a spell into it, and the miniature mountain instantly expanded, unleashing a surge of golden flames and crashing towards Qinglian Island. A blue light barrier then emerged, enveloping the entire Qinglian Island.

She chanted a spell, and a wave of fire law fluctuations swept forth. Vast amounts of crimson flames erupted, turning an area hundreds of thousands of miles wide into a sea of crimson fire. The temperature was terrifyingly high, causing vast quantities of seawater to evaporate. The crimson sea of fire churned and surged, and massive crimson fire dragons flew out from within. This was not an attack formed by manipulating the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, but an attack imbued with the Law of Fire. The latter’s power was ten thousand times that of the former. Jiang Yuqing had already cultivated the law to the minor completion stage, and her use of the Law of Fire to attack Qinglian Island was not to be underestimated.

The colossal golden blade struck the blue water barrier. The blue water barrier dented inwards but quickly returned to normal. The gigantic golden peak crashed onto the blue water barrier. Runes on the blue water barrier flickered, and it dented inwards. A large expanse of golden flames spread from the golden peak, engulfing nearly half of the blue water barrier. A faint smoke rose from the blue water barrier, and its spiritual light flickered incessantly. The crimson fire dragons successively crashed into the blue water barrier and exploded one after another. After a series of thunderous roars, rolling flames engulfed the blue water barrier. The high temperature tore open the void, creating numerous cracks.

The previously calm sea surface churned violently, and massive whirlpools appeared. Columns of thick water spouts soared into the sky, heading straight for Jiang Yuqing and Jin Sheng. At the same time, thick beams of light shot out from Qinglian Island, also targeting Jiang Yuqing and Jin Sheng.

Jiang Yuqing snorted coldly. With a slap of her right hand towards the void below, the crimson sea of fire churned and surged, and a colossal red palm flew out from it, meeting the water spouts. She flicked her sleeve, and a shimmering red shield flew out, positioning itself in front of her. This was merely a low-grade defensive immortal artifact. Mid-grade defensive immortal artifacts were quite valuable, only occasionally appearing on the market and quickly being bought at high prices.

Jin Sheng conjured a golden treasure umbrella, from which a golden light barrier descended, protecting himself. Simultaneously, he summoned nine shimmering golden small mirrors. He chanted a spell, and each of the nine mirrors emitted a thick golden beam that surged forward to meet the incoming attacks. Thunderous explosions rang out as various spiritual lights flared in the sky. Numerous cracks appeared in the void. Two thick crimson light beams shot out from Qinglian Island, heading directly for Jin Sheng and Jiang Yuqing.

Deafening thunder roared from high in the sky, and thick silver lightning bolts tore through the heavens, striking towards Jin Sheng and Jiang Yuqing. Jin Sheng's brows furrowed. He chanted a spell, and a dazzling golden blade materialized out of thin air, emitting an aura of the Law of Gold. The golden blade, with an imposing aura, streaked directly towards the descending silver lightning. Simultaneously, each of the nine golden small mirrors spat out a thick golden beam, which converged into a single point, forming a massive golden pillar of light that surged forward to meet the attack.

The golden pillar of light collided with the crimson light beam. Like an egg striking a stone, it instantly shattered. Jin Sheng was aghast. Even the combined power of his set of low-grade immortal artifacts couldn't block it. Could it be a mid-grade immortal artifact? He tried to evade, but a massive silver cage materialized—the Cage of Divine Sense.

Jin Sheng’s expression darkened. A dazzling golden light flared between his eyebrows, and a thick golden blade of light shot out, slashing at the silver cage. At the same time, he took out a five-colored talisman and slapped it onto himself. A spiritual light flashed, and a solid five-colored battle armor materialized, covering his entire body and forming a second layer of defense. The golden light blade sliced the silver cage in half. The crimson light beam then struck the golden light barrier. The golden light barrier instantly shattered, and the five-colored battle armor could not withstand it either.

Jin Sheng was struck by the crimson light beam and instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from it, exclaiming, “A mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannon! The Wang family actually possesses a mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannon!”
