Chapter 341 - 200: Withered Vine

The Elder looked around leisurely at the surrounding landscape, his murky eyes occasionally flashing with nostalgia.

"There are so many beautiful sights in this world. Unfortunately, I, the old man, won’t be able to see much more of them."

The Elder of the Wang Family sighed wistfully; only when one’s lifespan is nearing its end does one gain such insight.

These were clearly familiar sceneries, yet this time, for some reason, it felt like every view was so mesmerizing.

The scent of the sea breeze, the shimmering surface of the sea, even a deserted island had its own beauty.

"Such beauty, it seems I’ve missed far too much."

As the Elder of the Wang Family lamented having missed too many beautiful sights in his life, his murky pupils suddenly narrowed.

"What is this!"

His gaze revealed he had discovered something, and his expression changed, as a formidable aura erupted from his aged demeanor.

"Not good! There’s an array ambush here, let’s go quickly!"

Before leaving, the Elder didn’t forget to warn the female cultivator that Lin Chang’an transformed into.

However, as the Elder’s figure burst out, a beam of blood-red light attacked from behind.

[Blood Spirit Spike]

"You!"

With a crisp sound, a shocked and angry expression appeared on the Elder’s face, tinged with disbelief.

It turned out the attacker from behind was the female cultivator.

The female cultivator laughed, saying, "It seems the Elder is very fond of the scenery here. Why not let it be your final resting place?"

A barrier suddenly appeared around, changing the complexion of the Wang Family Elder.

"Very well! It seems the Dragon Island Master doesn’t want to keep us alive, making a move at this time."

Lin Chang’an was taken aback after hearing this.

The old fellow actually thought it was an order from the Five Dragons Island Master.

But thinking about it, it made sense. As a secret knife in the dark, isn’t it used and then cleaned out?

"Elder, will you surrender yourself, or suffer some pain?"

"Arrogant!"

However, the surrounding barrier began to turn fiery red, an intense heat converging as Fire-Devouring Demon Spirits began to form.

At this moment, a touch of madness appeared on the face of the Wang Family Elder.

"Good! It seems that this raid on the merchant ships was also a conspiracy intended to completely eradicate our Wang Family, isn’t it? In that case, don’t blame this old man for fighting to the death!"

"Elder, I suppose the Wang Family is already gone by now."

The female cultivator, disguised by Lin Chang’an, hid within the array, continuously mocking.

Indeed, facing a life-and-death crisis, the Wang Family Elder panicked.

With time, the Elder’s furious roar displayed his terrifying power as a seasoned late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator under pressing situations.

The Fire-Devouring Demon Spirits continued to be scattered.

"This is a Tier Two Upper Grade great array!"

Seeing the Fire-Devouring Demon Spirits regrouping and considering the strength of the array barrier, the Wang Family Elder was startled and angry. It was truly intended to eradicate completely.

"Not good! This old thing actually has a near Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman."

Originally intending to exhaust the Elder, but upon seeing the talisman he took out, Lin Chang’an’s face changed.

Immediately, his voice echoed in conversation with the female cultivator within the array.

"What are you waiting for, don’t let this old man escape."

"Humph! Let me deal with this old thing."

A golden stream of light shimmered, and the Phoenix Cry Bird shrieked directly attacking the Elder.

Lin Chang’an’s figure also appeared, following right behind, as a terrifying Sword Aura shot straight forward.

"Late-stage Foundation Establishment! And a Tier Two Late Stage spirit pet!"

Seeing the helpers, the Elder showed urgency. Damn, this female cultivator was so cunning, not only having assistance but also hiding in the dark.

The disparity in intelligence led to the Elder fighting furiously with three parts vigilance against the hidden female cultivator.

Lin Chang’an’s plan went smoothly.

For a time, the battle was extremely fierce. Lin Chang’an’s power was superior, but the opponent was fighting desperately, and Lin Chang’an didn’t want to risk his life in vain.

"Fellow cultivator, Five Dragons Island is domineering. Today my Wang Family is in jeopardy; tomorrow it might be you."

In fierce combat, the Wang Family Elder was full of urgency. His own death didn’t matter, but he couldn’t let the Wang Family be in trouble as well.

He had to send back the news.

The voice from the dark made Lin Chang’an find it amusing. The Elder probably didn’t know it was all orchestrated by himself.

"Wang Fellow Daoist, do you think I dare let you go?"

"Fellow cultivator, I know I can’t get out today, but if you let me... I am willing to tell you the Wang Family’s secret."

The Elder’s whispering voice tempted him.

Looking at the Elder gasping for breath, and with a crazed look, Lin Chang’an hesitated.

"Fellow cultivator, that vile woman hides in the dark, letting you fight desperately. Naturally, I cannot survive today, but even if I go all out, can you say you won’t be injured?

You know that vile woman swallowed the storage bags of her two companions. And don’t you want to leave a way out for yourself in the future? My Wang Family..."

Facing the threats and temptations, Lin Chang’an seemed swayed.

"Fine! As long as Fellow Wang provides the secret, I will feign negligence later. Whether this near Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman of yours can open a fissure will be up to you."

"Fellow cultivator, rest assured, my death doesn’t matter, just to leave some bloodline for the Wang Family..."

Through their mutual whispering, in one exchange, a Jade Scroll fell into Lin Chang’an’s hand.
