Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Lin Chang’an nodded silently upon hearing this. If they came from the periphery, the chances of falling into an ambush would be much lower.

"Mr. Lin, is Mr. Qiu not coming this time?"

While flying with Escape Light, Mr. Zhu from the Four Seas Commerce Association communicated through a Sound Transmission Talisman, showing a look of confusion.

Lin Chang’an nodded calmly and said, "The Sword Servant is only at the Core Formation Early Stage and recently had insights in cultivation, so he is in secluded training in his cave mansion."

The Four Seas Commerce Association was not angry at Lin Chang’an’s response; they were truly concerned about whether Lin Chang’an could easily break the array.

On the way flying to the destination, Lin Chang’an also secretly used a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform the Sword Servant to be ready with intelligence support nearby.

...

Several days later, in order to accommodate the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and also to maintain abundant mana, it took a full seven days to reach an area filled with gloomy mist.

"Fellow Daoists, we have arrived at our destination. The island in the distance is the nest of the Tribulation Cultivators!"

After seeing the destination, the cultivators from the Four Seas Commerce Association all showed angry expressions.

This time, each major family had invested a significant amount of their resources.

Even if they could reclaim them, the loss would still be substantial.

Under the hazy gray sky and faint mist, a dark, rugged island was vaguely visible below.

In the center, the peaks were steep and the rocks rugged.

However, upon reaching the destination, it was the silent Female Cultivator from the Long Family who spoke up.

"There’s no mistake. My spirit insects tracked it here based on scent."

As she raised her hand, several tiny black mosquitoes flew out from the mist.

"Spirit insects!"

Everyone present was startled, not expecting the Long Family Female Cultivator’s Spirit Pet to be the somewhat rare spirit insects.

"These black mosquitoes have been lurking nearby. Once the Tribulation Cultivators plundered goods, they were transported here."

After confirming, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned to the only Tier Three Array Master present.

Lin Chang’an also looked at the island with a solemn expression, then frowned and said:

"This island does have a Yin Spirit Illusion Array, but it’s only a quasi-Tier Three. Breaking it shouldn’t be too difficult."

"Yin Spirit Illusion Array?"

Many people exchanged glances, especially among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who were utterly bewildered.

Lin Chang’an was in no hurry; while observing the array, he explained to everyone:

"This array is originally a common Yin Attribute Illusion Array. But previously, a lot of Yin Soul Sect’s arrays were circulated in the Ghost Realm, including this improved version.

Besides the illusory abilities of this array, the addition of ’soul’ means many Yin Spirits are trapped within. If we forcefully break in, we’d first have to face these Yin Spirits."

Listening to the Tier Three Array Master’s words, everyone suddenly understood.

Lin Chang’an frowned secretly. Everything he said was true, but he already knew this array from the Yin Soul Sect’s legacy he acquired.

Later, someone had brought it up at a trade fair on Five Dragons Island, and even the Six Elders of Bihai Palace had described this type of array in their array legacy.

So he directly revealed it without fear.

However, he frowned because he felt something was too simple about the whole matter.

"Six Core Formation Cultivators, leading dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, set up their old nest with just a quasi-Tier Three array?"

While he was contemplating the issue, Mr. Zhu from the Four Seas Commerce Association asked solemnly:

"Mr. Lin, can you break this array?"

Faced with professional matters, Lin Chang’an nodded lightly and calmly.

"Leave this array to me."

Seeing Lin Chang’an’s confident expression, everyone exchanged glances and then nodded.

"Be careful!"

Fairy Ni Chang’s voice echoed in his ear. Lin Chang’an nodded slightly, riding the Cyan-Horned Bull to the sky above the island. After confirming no other issues, he raised his hand, and an array appeared from the storage bag.

Breaking an array with an array!

If he didn’t demonstrate the skills of an Array Master, he would also feel embarrassed to take the Four Seas Commerce Association’s reward.

More importantly, with so many people this time, he might attract someone’s interest to buy his array later and earn additional profit.

"Break!"

Nine Fire Attribute banners combined with an array disc suddenly formed a terrifying fire cloud in the sky, its vast size almost covering the entire island.

"Incredible!"

Such a grand scene astonished the group of inexperienced cultivators.

As the fire cloud descended, a series of rumbling sounds came from below the island, and lightning and fire sparks flickered from within the cloud.

"The array is broken!"

As Lin Chang’an coldly shouted and retracted the array with a wave of his hand, the true appearance of the island was revealed below.

Many surviving Yin Spirits began to flee in panic instinctively.

From the island, sixty to seventy various colored lights flew out, which were the large number of Tribulation Cultivators rushing out from the cavernous nest.

Leading them were six Core Formation Cultivators, who were momentarily stunned upon seeing the island surrounded and the array broken.

"This is the group of rogue cultivators who robbed our merchant ship!"

Before they could react, two Core Formation Cultivators from the Four Seas Commerce Association, who had escaped previously, were already enraged.

If not for their numbers back then, the situation would have led the two to abandon the ship and flee in a panic.

After all, the merchant ship belonged to everyone, but their lives were their own. Having escaped, they could always come back for revenge, but if they lost their lives, they couldn’t come back.

"Kill!"

The well-prepared group of cultivators did not hesitate and began to attack unreservedly.

The Tribulation Cultivators, accustomed to living on the edge, were also fearless and fought back.

Immediately, various spell and artifact lights splashed in the sky, and the screeching sound intensified.

...

"Mr. Lin, continue checking for any trap arrays. We’ll handle these,"

shouted the Core Formation Cultivator surnamed Liang from the Four Seas Commerce Association, as a Magical Treasure flew out, while reminding Lin Chang’an.

As an Array Master, Lin Chang’an gladly accepted the order. This is the benefit of being someone with specialized skills.

Risking one’s life doesn’t fall on him first.

"Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator!"

However, seeing Fairy Ni Chang, the six Core Formation Cultivators among the Tribulation Cultivators all changed colors.

The next moment, two Core Formation Cultivators angrily shouted and flew towards Fairy Ni Chang.

"We’ll hold off this Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator together!"

Their combined attack spell took Fairy Ni Chang by surprise; unexpectedly, they encountered a pair of cultivators capable of executing a combined attack spell.

In the chaotic fight, the Cyan-Horned Bull’s thunderous roar echoed, its four hooves trampling the void, forming an earth-yellow protective shield against the chaotic spell assaults.

"Is there really no other array trap on the island? Could it be that I am overly suspicious?"

Amidst the melee, Lin Chang’an cast a doubtful glance around, just as he relaxed his vigilance and was about to join the battlefield to avoid the Four Seas Commerce Association criticizing him for taking too much reward.

Suddenly, seeing the six Core Formation Cultivators among the Tribulation Cultivators all taking out dense long banners as magical treasures, his expression changed drastically.

"Not good, everyone be wary of the Tribulation Cultivators’ Magical Treasures!"

The response speed of Core Formation Cultivators was swift, and under Lin Chang’an’s shout, everyone instantly reacted.

Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators instinctively began to activate their defensive barriers.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the six long banners were instantly engulfed by ominous energy, transforming into ferocious Tier Three Hidden Spirit Gauze Beast Kings within the ghostly mist.

"Impossible!"

The enemy suddenly had six more Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast Kings. At this moment, everyone was shocked.

"This is a Magical Treasure from the Yin Soul Sect. Each long banner contains a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King, which can be used for combat."

Without waiting for Lin Chang’an to explain, Fairy Ni Chang, with her Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, coldly stated the origin of the Magical Treasure. Meanwhile, she became serious.

Giving the two Yin Spirit Beast Kings in front of her no chance to react, the silver chain golden bell Magical Treasure entwined around her jade hand emitted a captivating and mesmerizing sound.

Being old friends for many years and having fought side by side before, Lin Chang’an naturally knew the power of Fairy Ni Chang’s Magical Treasure. Without any hesitation, he launched six sword auras with a wave of his hand.

The others also quickly reacted, joining the counterattack.

"Roar!"

The silver chain golden bell Magical Treasure was a rare Divine Soul type of Magical Treasure. Under this wide-range attack, the two Yin Spirit Beast Kings in front of it staggered, emitting painful howls.
