Chapter 412 - 228: Someone Takes the Fall [Requesting Monthly Votes]

"Damn it, how am I supposed to sell this batch of goods!"

This is a big problem.

Inside the shop, many customers looked puzzled at the usually cheerful Boss Lei, who was now roaring in anger.

At this time, the Fake Pill Cultivator with the surname Li, who had just arrived at Bibo Island, along with Rong, had disguised their identities.

However, as soon as they set foot on the island and inquired a bit about the news, both of their faces turned pale.

"Master Li, this is bad. We’re wanted all over the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, and even the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea has a bounty from the Long Family..."

Rong looked aggrieved. He was just living a good life as the head of the Five Dragons Island patrol team, and suddenly he became a wanted cultivator.

Damn it!

This Master Li’s rough face twitched. Although he had expected this, he didn’t think the Five Dragons Island would act so quickly.

"Now you and I should leave, find a small island in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea to hide for a decade or two."

"What!"

"Do you think we can escape? The Long Family’s influence is vast. If we take a spirit ship to another sea region, we’ll easily be targeted. Instead, the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea is the safest."

Master Li was also feeling aggrieved. Who could have thought that Long Changfeng would be gone just like that?

He always seemed quite strong, able to hold his ground against Tier Three Demon Beasts at least.

But he ran into a fast bird-type Exotic Beast, and its beak specifically counters Protective Spiritual Light.

It was a complete mismatch. If it had been another Tier Three Demon Beast of the same level, he wouldn’t have had no chance to react.

Damn it, he was a Honored Elder of high status on Five Dragons Island, yet now he was wanted and everyone was out to get him.

"Let’s go!"

Master Li didn’t hesitate in the slightest, coldly choosing to leave and hide.

He’s just over three hundred years old, with at least two more centuries of good life. He could hide for a decade or two; it wouldn’t matter.

First avoid the limelight, then look for an opportunity later.

Rong, however, looked gloomy. He was at a crucial stage. If he hid for a decade or two and missed the best age for Core Formation, his life would be over.

"Master Li, I..."

Rong was in a dilemma. He had finally arrived at the Black Market, and he didn’t want to stay with Master Li in case of being silenced.

This Master Li also snorted coldly and left without hesitation.

Yet, as he left, a crafty look flashed in Master Li’s eyes.

He kept Rong around just to take the blame for him.

Although he was still going to be wanted by Five Dragons Island, reducing a bit of trouble would be worth it.

"Rong, my young friend, don’t blame this old man. That Phoenix Cry Bird Exotic Beast might still be watching in the shadows, while you conspired with outsiders.

As a Tributor of Five Dragons Island, I can’t bear to return with shame..."

Master Li sighed, turned, left the Market, and concealed his presence, transforming into a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to enter the Market.

Then he secretly spread the word that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator Rong from Five Dragons Island conspired with cultivators from Li Huo Palace to harm the Long Family, coveting the Core Formation Spiritual Object...

He even used his own identity to send a message to the Long Family, saying he was too ashamed to return.

Essentially, all the blame was put on Rong, and to ensure it was enough, he mulled over who else opposed the Long Family in this current turmoil.

...

"Chaos, utter chaos!"

In a private room of a restaurant on Bibo Island, Hu Jin, with wide eyes, spoke unhappily about the recently gathered information.

"Old Lin, we’ve clearly been caught in the crossfire. Rong conspired with the Tribulation Cultivators from Li Huo Palace to secretly harm the Long Family’s Young Master, and the Honored Elder fled to escape blame..."

Things changed too fast; in the blink of an eye, it turned into something they couldn’t recognize.

Lin Chang’an was also taken aback, but he didn’t want to delve into the specifics.

"Old Hu, you and I should be cautious recently. Although those two are the ones being wanted, at the end of the day, the Long Family’s Young Master got into trouble because of us.

The Long Family will certainly know about the Tier Three Green Crocodile Turtle matter, so to be safe, we shouldn’t sell the materials from the Tier Three Demon Beast yet."

Lin Chang’an spoke with a solemn expression, and Hu Jin was no fool; he naturally knew that selling these materials could easily bring trouble.

Right now, who knows how many people are watching? The moment someone sells the materials from the Tier Three Green Crocodile Turtle, they’ll definitely be targeted.

After all, this matter involves too much, and the Long Family’s ties and bounties are extremely enticing.

"Damn it, what’s with this? We just went out to hunt a demon beast and got implicated for no reason."

Hu Jin cursed, while Lin Chang’an had a peculiar expression. He never imagined that the person killed by the Phoenix Cry Bird had such great connections.

But what does it have to do with him?

Clearly, insiders from Five Dragons Island conspired with the Tribulation Cultivators to pull off this shocking bloodbath together.

"Rong is really under the watchful eyes right now!"

Lin Chang’an’s gaze flickered. Few dared to watch a Fake Pill Master with a bounty.

But Rong is different; he’s only in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and now it’s rumored that he’s plotting for the Long Family’s Young Master’s Core Formation Spiritual Object. This temptation is enough to drive countless Tribulation Cultivators crazy.

"Core Formation Spiritual Objects aren’t that easy to get!"

Lin Chang’an shook his head secretly, knowing full well what the Young Master carried.

It’s not that there are no Core Formation Spiritual Objects, but with a powerful family like the Long Family,

Given Long Changfeng’s talent and status, once he hits a bottleneck and needs to form a core, the Long Family would undoubtedly have a Core Formation Cultivator Protector and then take the Core Formation Spiritual Object directly from within the clan.

This item is not something Long Changfeng would carry on him currently, as if the Long Family would let him do so.
