I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 497 Unleashing a Bloodbath, the Insect Demons Terrified
The waters around the Luoxia Islands.

Swoosh—

A bolt of lightning traveled thousands of miles through the clouds, its light dimming considerably before it wobbled as it descended towards the spirit island below.

Lam Tin Island Cave.

"Husband!"

A beautiful woman in a flowing dress, who was at the Core Formation stage, exclaimed in surprise and helped up Wei Dongjun, whose face was ashen and who was exuding an aura of death.

"Activate the full array to protect me."

Wei Dongjun sat cross-legged, spoke with difficulty, and handed the main battle flag to his Daoist partner.

The beautiful woman in the flowing skirt sensed his presence, a chill ran through her, and she said in a trembling voice:
"This is... the Heart-Severing Poison!"

Wei Dongjun's heartbeat weakened, his blood and qi began to stagnate, and his magical power gradually sluggish.

The vital energy within the body continuously transforms into death energy, spreading and expanding infinitely.

It targets the source of life, the most active organ.

Previously on the main island, Wei Dongjun used the top-grade Detoxifying Spirit Pearl to neutralize most of the "Heart-Severing Poison" in his body.

At that time, if one could immediately meditate and neutralize the poison, at least the recurrence rate of the Heart-Severing Poison could be slowed down.

However, the situation was critical. Wei Dongjun had just stabilized the Heart-Slaying Poison when he activated the clan's protective magic weapon with all his might to resist the three members of the Qiu Alliance.

When he used the Thunder Escape Talisman, Qiu Luoyan predicted it and injured his internal organs.

By the time he escaped to his spiritual island dojo, the "Heart-Severing Poison" had already grown stronger and relapsed, and it had to be contained as soon as possible.

The Alliance Leader Qiu was a veteran mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, skilled in Wind Escape Technique, which was not much slower than his Thunder Escape Talisman, and relentlessly pursued him from behind.

Wei Dongjun had just taken several detoxifying pills and life-saving medicines.

The sound of the autumn wind howling could be heard from dozens of miles away.

A cloud of maple-colored light swirled and flew to the outside of the great formation on Lantian Island, stirring up a storm of waves.

Bathed in the glow of maple leaves.

As the swallows descended gracefully in autumn, their long, dark blue hair flowing freely, they were elegant and beautiful, like a painting.

"Alliance Leader Qiu! It's you..."

The beautiful woman in the flowing skirt, holding the battle flag, paled in disbelief.

Wei Dongjun's Daoist partner knows Qiu Mengzhu and is even quite familiar with him.

"Dongjun, with your cultivation level, you cannot suppress the 'Heart-Severing Poison'. Hand over the Great Demon King's life contract, and in consideration of past kindness, I will grant you the antidote."

Qiu Luoyan's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyes clear and deep as she surveyed the protective array of Lantian Island.

She did not attack immediately, but waited for the two Nascent Soul elders to arrive later.

The spiritual vein of Lantian Island is a small-scale, mid-grade fourth-order spiritual vein, a branch of the main island's main spiritual vein, and was cultivated by a formation vein master who migrated there.

Although there are fourth-grade mid-level formations on the island, they are not as good as the sect-protecting formations of the same grade and in their complete form.

"Senior Sister Qiu, the Fate Contract Jade Token has always been in Grandpa's hands. You've come to the wrong person."

Wei Dongjun sneered.

Among several miraculous medicines, one finally managed to suppress the ailment.

A surge of icy spiritual power condensed throughout his blood, organs, and life force, while simultaneously greatly slowing the spread and onset of the Heart-Severing Poison.

However, it only delays the onset of the toxicity.

In this state, the amount of magic power he can use is negligible.

It cannot eradicate or neutralize the "heart-destroying poison," it only postpones the time of death.

……

Before long, the two Nascent Soul elders who had betrayed the main headquarters also arrived.

The two elders unleashed their offensive magic weapons, suitable for breaking the formation, and destroyed the protective formation of Lantian Island.

The Autumn Alliance Leader unleashed the [Spirit-Shocking Mace], a miraculous treasure bestowed upon him by his master and prepared in advance to break through the formation.

A layer of blue, crystal-like array barrier enveloped the entire Lantian Island.

The beautiful woman in the silk skirt waved the array flags, urging her mid-stage Core Formation power to deal with the situation in a flurry of activity.

Blue ice patterns appeared on the surface of the array barrier, moving around the vulnerable areas that were attacked, quickly repairing and reinforcing them.

"As the vice leader of the alliance, Qiu Luoyan is in charge of the formation hall and knows the weaknesses of the formations on my island."

Wei Dongjun's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.

Previously, Qiu Luoyan had taken advantage of her position to destroy multiple array bases on the main island, opening the array portals and colluding with the insect demon from within.

The most crucial point right now is that there is no powerful figure presiding over the fourth-order formation on the island.

If there is a Nascent Soul stage master in charge, or multiple late-stage Core Formation stage masters in charge, even if the three leaders of the Qiu Alliance discover the weaknesses of the formation, they will find it difficult to overcome it in the short term.

The formation is static; its power varies greatly depending on whether a cultivator of the corresponding level is present to oversee it.

Wei Dongjun was restrained by the Heart-Severing Poison and was unable to preside over the formation.

The remaining servants on the island are mostly at the Foundation Establishment or Pseudo-Core Formation stages, which is a drop in the ocean.

"break!"

Qiu Luoyan activated the dark gold and yellow [Zhenling Mace], striking the ever-changing opening in the formation.

boom!
The great array on Lantian Island trembled, the supply of spiritual energy became disordered, and snowflake-like cracks appeared in a certain weak area.

However, the fourth-order formation has an automatic repair capability, and it quickly heals as the blue ice patterns flicker.

In terms of breaking formations, the [Spirit-Shaking Mace] is even more powerful than the Golden Flame Insect Swarm of the Insect Demon.

However, it consumes a lot of mana and its sustained destructive power is not as good as the Golden Flame Insect Swarm.

"The two of you should work together to break the formation."

At Qiu Luoyan's command, the two Nascent Soul elders also poured their magical power into the [Spirit-Shaking Mace].

With the combined efforts of the three True Lords, the power of the treasured artifact for breaking the formation greatly increased.

boom!
The formation on Lantian Island was repeatedly shaken, the supply of spiritual energy was insufficient, and the snowflake cracks at the weak points continued to spread.

"Could it be that the Wei family's fate has run its course..."

Wei Dongjun felt despair and a bitter taste in his mouth as he looked at his Daoist partner, who was drenched in sweat and struggling to stay afloat.

He sent a telepathic message to give his final instructions, telling his Daoist partner to escape before the formation broke.

At this moment.

In the distance, a streak of azure light flew by.

"This aura is..."

Wei Dongjun's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at the sky and recognized that familiar figure.

……

"Fortunately."

As Lu Chang'an approached Lantian Island, he scanned the island with his divine sense and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Dongjun cannot die.

Otherwise, we cannot fulfill Elder Bihai's wish.

Therefore, his first goal was to come and rescue Wei Dongjun.

Upon seeing Lu Chang'an, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, arrive, the expressions of the three Alliance Leaders changed simultaneously.

“Elder Lu, you are merely a guest elder, why should you interfere in the power struggle within the main headquarters? The Insect Demon will soon join me…”

Qiu Luoyan frowned slightly, her cold tone carrying a warning.

She knew that Lu Chang'an and Wei Dongjun had a good relationship, but unfortunately, the last council of elders decided not to remove this variable from the main island.

Lu Chang'an ignored Qiu Luoyan.

He looked at Wei Dongjun on the island with the same loving gaze one would give a grandson:
"How much longer can Fellow Daoist Wei hold on?"

"By freezing Wei's life force and slowing down the effects of the poison, he can prolong his life for a while longer."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, hurry and get onto the island!"

"With you in charge, these traitors won't be able to break through the island's protective formation."

Wei Dongjun was overjoyed and urged him on immediately.

The beautiful woman in the flowing skirt prepared to open the array portal to welcome Lu Chang'an in.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wei is not in immediate danger, there is no need to hold back."

Lu Chang'an smiled warmly and turned to Qiu Luoyan, one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

Defend the position?

How can the business alliance crisis be resolved and the overall situation stabilized without eliminating internal problems?

"Elder Lu forcibly intervened in the power struggle at the headquarters, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing that Lu Chang'an did not enter the island immediately, Qiu Luoyan's eyes turned cold, and she decisively took action.

Whoosh whoosh!
The three Nascent Soul cultivators swiftly surrounded Lu Chang'an, forming a triangle and blocking his retreat.

The two Nascent Soul elders wielded their magical treasures, attacking from both sides.

A giant bronze furnace, coiled with a fiery dragon, expanded to a height of a hundred feet, its flames soaring into the sky and bursting forth with a half-glassy sun-like flame that engulfed Lu Chang'an for about a mile.

Another magical artifact, the Four Symbols Chain, extends hundreds of feet of rusty, pitch-black chains, weaving through the shallow layers of the void and sealing off the four directions where Lu Chang'an was located.

Both of them are veteran Nascent Soul cultivators with considerable combat power.

Lu Chang'an's body shone with a vibrant green aura, radiating immense spiritual pressure befitting a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he unleashed a large, withered, radiant hand from afar.

Ouch!
The hundred-foot-tall bronze furnace was sent flying backwards, and the raging flames of the great sun counterattacked against the owner of the magic weapon, causing the Nascent Soul elder to retreat repeatedly.

The ethereal blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The thick, black, rusty chain, accompanied by a faint spatial spiritual energy, pierced through the original location of Lu Chang'an's body.

The blue-glowing figure materialized from the ethereal.

Lu Chang'an stepped onto another thick, black chain, then leaped hundreds of feet into the air, passing through the gap between the two chains.

Suddenly.

Several autumn leaf-shaped magical artifacts spun rapidly, gathering a dim, chilling gale, each unleashing a deadly autumn wind blade several feet long, slicing past Lu Chang'an at a tricky angle.

Puff!
The azure phantom disappeared, cracks appeared in Lu Chang'an's protective shield, and several autumn leaf blades relentlessly pursued him from behind.

"A complete set of magical artifacts, that's interesting."

With a thought, Lu Chang'an sent out four Azure Swords, which flew out and grew to several feet tall, bursting forth with sharp azure sword light.

ding ding ding...

The Autumn Alliance Leader's several autumn leaf-shaped magical artifacts were knocked away by the Azure Profound Sword, and the autumn-inspired gale shattered.

"Azure Profound Sword!"

Qiu Luoyan was moved and recognized that the flying sword was made of precious spiritual wood from the cultivation world, and that the material was of the fourth-grade superior quality.

Fortunately, Lu Chang'an only had four Qingxuan swords; if the number doubled, it would be troublesome.

Qiu Luoyan was surrounded by nine autumn leaf-shaped magical treasures, and like a stormy autumn wind, she attacked Lu Chang'an with even greater speed.

In a situation where he was outnumbered three to one, Lu Chang'an was clearly on the defensive and had to maneuver around the defenses.

……

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do not engage in prolonged combat! Beware of this woman's [Heart-Severing Poison]!"

Inside Lantian Island, Wei Dongjun looked worried and could only send a voice message to remind him.

He couldn't understand why Elder Lu, who was usually low-key and down-to-earth, was acting so arrogantly today.

The words have not yet fallen.

A silver needle-like beam shot out, striking the white-clad figure with lightning speed.

Qiu Luoyan's gaze was cold and gloomy, and the timing of her attack was very subtle.

Just then, Wei Dongjun reminded Lu Chang'an, who was slightly distracted.

"Little tricks!"

Lu Chang'an rolled up his sleeve, and his magical power surged like a torrent, allowing him to put away a silver needle as thin as a hair.

This silver needle magic weapon is extremely fast to activate and incredibly thin, making it difficult to detect.

If it strikes during a gap in the melee, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to dodge it.

Unfortunately, Lu Chang'an's divine senses were comparable to those of a great cultivator, and the power of his fourth incarnation's divine soul had also descended upon him.

Qiu Luoyan was slightly disappointed that her scheme had failed.

It is indeed very difficult to surround and kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert.

She quietly lowered her target, deciding that she only needed to severely injure and defeat Lu Chang'an.

The three surrounded and killed Lu Chang'an.

The two sides became entangled in combat, and the distance between them closed without them realizing it.

A fierce glint flashed in Lu Chang'an's eyes, and he raised his hand to summon four more Azure Profound Swords.

The number of Qingxuan swords on the field increased from four to eight, greatly increasing their power!
The Azure Sword's light crisscrossed the area, like a continuous spring rain, driving away the Autumn Alliance Leader's nine Autumn Leaf magic treasures.

"Not good! This person is hiding his strength."

"Eight Azure Profound Swords, no wonder they were able to slay the Ink Dragon."

The two Nascent Soul elders immediately felt the pressure as they resisted the indestructible Azure Profound Sword Qi.

Whoosh! Boom!
The outline of a gigantic turtle emerges from the seawater below.

The towering tsunami storm, like a gaping maw, swallowed all four Nascent Soul cultivators who were locked in combat.

"A fourth-tier Xuan Water Turtle!"

"Yin Sha Cold Water! This is a mutated Xuan Turtle!"

The area within several miles was shrouded in a layer of cold water.

The immense water pressure and the biting cold made Qiu Mengzhu and his companions feel oppressed and uncomfortable.

While in the sea, Lord Xuan Shui's magical powers and abilities greatly increased.

With the help of the Sea Flag magic weapon and the Yin Sha cold power, a water prison was formed, which was almost a trapping method for the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

One of the Nascent Soul elders charged towards the edge of the water with the blazing sun, but his power was greatly reduced by the heavy cold water.

At the boundary of the waters, a deep and concentrated Xuanming Heavy Water emerged, engulfing and absorbing the remaining Great Sun Fire.

With the Sea Flag magic weapon in his mouth, Lord Xuan Shui did not attack, but focused all his efforts on stabilizing the Cold Water Realm and preventing any enemy from escaping.

"Elder Lu, are you perhaps planning to wipe out the three of us in one fell swoop with your methods?"

As autumn fell, Yan felt a chill in her heart, a bad premonition creeping in.

Lu Chang'an had previously feigned weakness to lure and gather the group together through close combat.

At the critical moment, Xuan Shuijun launched an attack from the sea, trapping all three Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop.

"Alliance Leader Qiu is wise! Now that I have made my move, I have no intention of letting any of you go."

Lu Chang'an spoke calmly and gently, but his words made Qiu Luoyan and the other two feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

……

"What a joke! Even if it's two against three, it's at most a 50/50 chance!"

Trapped in the water, the two Nascent Soul elders unleashed their magical power and launched a counterattack regardless of the cost.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators were all experienced and knew that the best way to break through was to severely injure and defeat Lu Chang'an.

The Frosty Water Realm, reinforced by heavy water, makes it almost impossible for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to break through. Even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to quickly break through the water's boundaries.

If they harbor any illusions and dare not fight to the death, they will be defeated one by one by Lu Chang'an.

Qiu Luoyan gritted her teeth and activated her secret technique.

A thousand-year calamity!
The waters around the woman were shrouded in an autumnal twilight, and a set of autumn leaf magic treasures danced around, transforming into countless autumn leaves and lingering winds.

The murderous aura of autumn transformed the surrounding Yin Sha waters, spanning hundreds of feet, into a vacuum.

Autumn leaves, withered and windy, danced sharply, accompanied by a dim, withered aura, intertwining with the great net of sword energy formed by the eight Azure Profound Swords.

In a short period of time, they did not fall behind.

While maintaining this technique, Qiu Luoyan's dark blue hair, which was scattered and loose, would occasionally drop a strand of withered white hair.

"This woman's cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities combine the characteristics of both wind and wood elements."

During the Thousand Autumns of Slaughter, Lu Chang'an felt the erosion of time and the strangulation of vitality and spirit.

When the Azure Profound Sword came into contact with it, it suppressed most of Qiu Yi's killing intent, but a faint sense of discomfort lingered.

Ordinary magical artifacts clashing head-on might damage their spiritual properties.
He thought to himself that this technique was indeed in line with the characteristics of the Evergreen Skill.

Faced with the desperate counterattack of the three True Lords, Lu Chang'an dared not be careless.

Formation!

With a wave of his hand, he summoned eight more fourth-grade superior-quality Azure Profound Swords.

besides?

The three leaders of the Autumn Alliance were greatly shocked, their pupils contracted, and they revealed expressions of horror.

The sword energy permeating the waters more than doubled!
Swoosh...

Sixteen Qingxuan swords, their light flickering and shifting, crisscrossed the area.

Like a silkworm spinning its wings, it released strands of condensed, silk-like azure sword energy.

The verdant sword energy shone brightly, endlessly weaving together to form an indestructible and impenetrable sword formation domain.

"This is bad! The legendary Azure Profound Sword Formation—"

The two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators felt their scalps tingle. Due to the suppression of the water area, they had no time to escape and were trapped in the sword formation's net.

ding ding ding...

Several magical artifacts encountered the Azure Profound Sword Formation, sparks flying.

In just a few breaths, visible cracks appeared on the magical treasures of the two Nascent Soul elders.

The continuous, unending azure sword energy relentlessly penetrated the protective magic shield.

The robes of the two Nascent Soul elders were torn, revealing deep, bone-revealing bloodstains.

Qiu Luoyan was in no better shape; her skirt was torn in several places, and several bloody sword marks appeared on her fair skin, giving her a tragic beauty.

"Alliance Leader Qiu, we can't hold them off any longer!" "True Lord Lu, please show mercy, I concede..."

The two Nascent Soul elders were the first to succumb, their physical bodies severely injured, and the Azure Profound Sword Qi seeped into their internal organs.

Lu Chang'an remained unmoved, continuing to activate the sword formation, causing the Azure Profound Sword Light to shine brilliantly.

"what……"

A scream rang out as one of the Nascent Soul stage monsters had his physical body torn into pieces of flesh and blood.

Before the nascent soul could even leave its body, it was annihilated by the impenetrable Azure Profound Sword Qi.

Another guest elder decisively separated his nascent soul from his body before his physical form collapsed.

Using his escape technique, he broke free through the gaps in the sword net.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who escaped the sword net had several sword marks on his body, indicating that he was seriously injured and his aura had dropped significantly.

Wow!

The surrounding Yin Sha cold water transformed into a huge whirlpool, pulling at the Nascent Soul that had escaped the sword net.

The chill intruded, and the swirling water swallowed it, causing its escape speed to decrease.

"Where to go!"

A cold, thunderous shout rang out, causing the injured Nascent Soul cultivator who had escaped to feel slightly dizzy.

next moment.

A cyan light and shadow arrived in an instant, and a large, slightly swollen hand grabbed the nascent soul.

He clasped his hands together, unleashing a burst of azure light.

After a faint scream, the nascent soul vanished, losing all its aura.

……

In an instant, the two Nascent Soul elders died under the Azure Profound Sword Formation.

The swallows, their feathers rustling, looked terrified, their beautiful faces turning ashen.

"Who is your Excellency?"

As the Azure Profound Sword Formation contracted, Alliance Leader Qiu fell into despair.

The defensive magic weapon was destroyed by the sword formation and fell to the ground, its light dim.

The dress was covered in cracks, filled with deep, bloody sword marks that revealed the bone.

Inside, the Azure Profound Sword Formation was annihilating them; outside, the Cold Water Realm surrounded them.

"To cultivate the Azure Profound Sword Formation to such a level is unheard of in this sea area, or even on the nearshore land."

Leader Qiu knew that he could not escape death today.

She couldn't understand it and just wanted to know the truth.

Why does Lu Keqing, who joined the business alliance halfway through his career, possess terrifying methods that defy common sense?

Azure Wood is a precious spiritual wood in the cultivation world, and a top-grade material for forging wood-type spiritual swords.

Sixteen fourth-grade superior-quality Qingxuan wood swords, forming a sword formation, are unheard of overseas.

Moreover, Lu Chang'an's control over the sword formation reached a level of unparalleled mastery.

It is extremely difficult for a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to reach this level of spiritual awareness.

To crush and kill three Nascent Soul cultivators single-handedly is something even the infamous Insect Demon would find difficult to achieve.

Perhaps the power of this sword formation has reached the level of a great cultivator.

"You don't need to understand, nor can you comprehend, the level I occupy."

Lu Chang'an stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by crisscrossing azure sword light, offering no explanation whatsoever.

He remained vigilant to prevent Qiu Luoyan's nascent soul from escaping.

Just now, the Azure Profound Sword Formation was too powerful and accidentally killed a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He concealed the other Nascent Soul through a technique, but it was actually devoured by the Nine Seal Tablets.

Qiu Luoyan is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and the vice leader of the Azure Water Merchant Alliance. If the Nine Seal Stele can devour her Nascent Soul, it will be able to learn the truth behind the scenes.

……

After a few breaths.

Qiu Luoyan's body trembled, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Countless bloody wounds appeared on the surface of her body.

boom!
The Dharma body collapsed and exploded, unleashing a terrifying cloud of magical power that caused turmoil throughout the entire water area.

Whoosh!
A beautiful woman's nascent soul left her body, attempting to escape.

Lu Chang'an was on high alert, preparing to unleash the "Soul-Splitting Thrust" secret technique from the "Thousand Machines Divine Evolution Manual".

At that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Qiu Luoyan's nascent soul inexplicably froze in mid-air, its eyes revealing fear and struggle.

On the delicate face of the nascent soul, a mysterious, twisting teardrop shape emerges.

"That's... a Gu worm?"

Lu Chang'an's powerful divine sense scanned through the surface of the nascent soul.

It was a translucent, dark green Gu worm, shaped like a teardrop, with natural leaf patterns engraved on its surface.

Suddenly, the teardrop-shaped Gu worm bloomed like a flower bud, transforming into a strange, blood-red plum blossom shape, with tiny, almost invisible tentacles extending from its petals.

As the eerie Gu worm "bloomed," Qiu Luoyan's struggling nascent soul was instantly annihilated.

Pong!
Qiu Luoyan's nascent soul exploded into a pile of bloody fragments, annihilating along with the strange, teardrop-shaped Gu worms.

Lu Chang'an's expression was solemn. He repeatedly searched the scene with his divine sense, but found nothing unusual, not even any signs of life or spiritual energy.

……

Lantian Island, above the sea.

While resisting the Heart-Severing Poison, Wei Dongjun kept a close eye on the movements in that body of water.

He could sense the fighting inside, but he couldn't find out the specific details.

Boom!

The frigid water domain, which covered an area of ​​several miles, suddenly collapsed, transforming into a tsunami and returning to the endless sea.

Wei Dongjun's heart was in his throat.

Until they saw the Xuan Shui Giant Turtle, and a white-clad man standing with his hands behind his back on its back.

He breathed a sigh of relief; at least nothing happened.

But soon, Wei Dongjun's gaze sharpened.

His divine sense swept across the sky above the turbulent sea, but it was empty.

There was no trace of Qiu Mengzhu and the other two.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, those traitors..."

Wei Dongjun was horrified, staring at that sea area, only to detect a faint trace of death aura.

A storm raged in his heart, and he looked at Lu Chang'an in disbelief.

“That’s right, those three have already bowed their heads.”

Lu Chang'an nodded.

Upon confirming his guess, Wei Dongjun was deeply shocked and unable to calm down for a long time.

In such a short time, in a situation where he was fighting three opponents at once, Lu Chang'an actually managed to wipe out all three Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Lu was able to kill the traitor mainly because Xuan Shuijun ambushed him in the sea, taking him by surprise. This turtle's supernatural powers in the sea are no weaker than those of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

"In a two-against-three encirclement situation, the three enemy Nascent Soul cultivators were seriously injured, which is why I managed to succeed by sheer luck."

Lu Chang'an gave a bland explanation.

In this battle, to avoid exposing Xiang Dalong's identity, the strongest method he could use was the Azure Profound Sword Formation.

During the Great Abyss, he did not use the Azure Profound Sword Formation in public.

"Even if those three traitors are injured, Lu Zhenjun's achievements are enough to make him famous in the Tianxing Sea."

Wei Dongjun was overjoyed:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please come in."

He was poisoned and unable to move around easily.

The Daoist partner "Chi Yuning" activated the formation to welcome Lu Chang'an into the Lantian Island Daoist Temple.

Wei Dongjun knew that his grandfather had unleashed his power in his final moments before his death, activating the "Song of the Returning Tide of the Azure Sea," which had sent Qiu Mengzhu and two others flying and injured them.

However, he was unaware of the specific details of his injuries as he used Lightning Release to escape.

In fact, Qiu Luoyan only suffered minor injuries and was not seriously hurt.

The large-scale burst damage wasn't as strong as one might imagine for single-target damage.

The two Nascent Soul elders were seriously injured, but mainly with external wounds. They took the fourth-tier Saint Pill given to them by Qiu Luoyan on the way, and their injuries were almost completely healed, with little impact on their combat strength.

……

"How is Fellow Daoist Wei's poison injury?"

Upon entering the cave, Lu Chang'an went straight to the point, investigating the poison that Wei Dongjun had been given.

"The 'Heart-Severing Poison' of the Heart-Severing Poison King has no effective antidote overseas except for the Immortal Physician Lingchun on Tianwai Island."

Wei Dongjun's face was pale, and his body was covered with a layer of frost. He said bitterly and weakly.

The Evergreen Immortal Physician?

Lu Chang'an's heart stirred, and he circulated his Evergreen Magic Power, entering Wei Dongjun's body.

Soon they encountered that deathly aura.

As the two energies met, Evergreen's magical power began to dissolve.

The poison of Juexin was quite domineering, but it was restrained by Changqing's magic power and only gradually subsided.

Wei Dongjun sensed something and looked at Lu Chang'an with shock and joy.

"I hope Fellow Daoist Wei will keep today's events a secret. Consider it as me obtaining the antidote from Alliance Leader Qiu."

Lu Chang'an channeled a large amount of Evergreen magic power, forcing the Heart-Slaying Poison into a corner, sealing it away, and concentrating his power to dispel it.

If one were to use the Evergreen Technique at the early Nascent Soul stage to neutralize this poison, it wouldn't be so easy.

The poison in Wei Dongjun's body was quickly neutralized, and his magical power was restored.

He was overjoyed and excited, and opened his arms wide.

Having narrowly escaped death, he was still filled with lingering fear.

"I will always remember the kindness of Lord Lu in saving my life from poison."

Wei Dongjun's eyes reddened, his tone was sincere, and he bowed deeply.

"On his way to provide support, Lu encountered your ancestor's Nascent Soul, and upon hearing his dying words, promised to help."

Lu Chang'an helped Wei Dongjun up and offered a few words of comfort.

Due to time constraints, Lu Chang'an did not have time to review the matter of the mysterious Gu worm with Wei Dongjun.

The fourth incarnation of the Nine Seal Stele, Elder Bihai, has not yet successfully transformed.

He needed to get to the main island as soon as possible to kill and expel the insect demons and resolve the crisis at the Merchant Alliance headquarters.

Before parting, Lu Chang'an asked Wei Dongjun a crucial question:
"What is the relationship between Alliance Leader Qiu and Immortal Physician Changqing?"

"When Senior Sister Qiu was in the early Nascent Soul stage, she went through a life-or-death battle to protect the interests of the Merchant Alliance and was severely injured. Fortunately, the Immortal Physician Lingchun healed her and repaired her damaged foundation."

Wei Dongjun replied with a look of reminiscence.

"That's why Senior Sister Qiu later successfully advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and she was grateful to the Immortal Doctor and held him in high esteem."

"Ah."

Lu Chang'an nodded, certain clues in his mind faintly connecting together.

Previously, the strange Gu worms within Qiu Alliance Leader's Nascent Soul emitted a certain Daoist aura, which made him feel a sense of familiarity.

Within the Blue Ocean Business Alliance, similar examples are not limited to Alliance Leader Qiu.

The Azure-Eyed Beast was saved by a celestial physician in its early years and is grateful and close to the celestial physician, Changqing.

……

Lantian Island is very close to the main island.

Lu Chang'an rode on a tortoise to the main island.

He declined Wei Dongjun's offer to accompany him.

This grandson absolutely cannot die, otherwise Elder Bihai's last wish cannot be fulfilled.

In the main island area, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exceptionally active, and the battles and disturbances in the sea stretch for thousands of miles.

The island's protective formation tore open a large crack, and a golden sea of ​​insects surged into the main island, attacking the low- and mid-level cultivators.

Wherever the Golden Flame Insects pass, flames soar into the sky, nothing grows, and they devour the flesh and blood of all living things.

The Left Alliance Leader was covered in ice crystals, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall ice-armored giant god.

Its defensive capabilities reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but it also became cumbersome.

The ice-armored giant, with its massive body, stood firmly in front of the gap in the great formation, while clusters of ice flames swirled in the air, freezing swarms of golden flame insects.

However, many high-level Golden Flame Insects adapted to the power of the Xuanbing (mysterious ice), frantically devouring the ice crystals, greatly increasing their aura, and soon they were able to break through the ice.

"Lord Insect Emperor, Zuo Tianxiong's Xuanbing Secret Technique has severely damaged his vital energy, and he cannot hold out for long."

The two evil Nascent Soul cultivators laughed strangely and used their magical weapons to attack.

Two fourth-tier Heavenly Zombies erupted with purple-gray corpse fire, which landed on the left leader of the Ice Armor Giant God, hissing as it struck.

Inside the formation, only two injured Nascent Soul cultivators stood behind Alliance Leader Zuo, desperately guarding the formation.

Another Nascent Soul elder was unfortunately surrounded by a large swarm of Golden Flame Insects and was bitten to death, leaving no trace of his body.

The Insect Demon manipulated the ancient treasure ruler, creating cracks in the Left Alliance Leader's thick Xuanbing armor, making it the only cultivator on the field capable of breaking through his defenses.

"Why hasn't that swallow finished dealing with the frail old man and the young boy yet?"

The insect demon, wearing a bronze mask, spoke with dissatisfaction.

Previously, after Elder Bihai delivered his final blow, he was already exhausted.

Wei Dongjun was poisoned by the Heart-Severing Poison and had little fighting ability.

Logically speaking, with the three Nascent Soul cultivators under Qiu Mengzhu's command, plus Ming Fengyan's tracking ability, they should have been able to easily resolve the situation.

The Insect Demon sensed something was amiss; perhaps things weren't going well with Alliance Leader Qiu?

……

at this time.

Hundreds of miles away, the power of water spirits surged and roared on the sea.

A man in white rode a tortoise, braving the wind and waves, heading straight for the main island.

To be precise, they went straight for the three insect demons.

"Huh, a fourth-tier giant tortoise?"

"Hehehe! Insect Emperor, more cultivators are coming to their deaths."

The two heretical cultivators let out a strange laugh, their lips curling into a cruel smile.

The Azure-Eyed Beast was transferred away from the headquarters.

In the present day, no cultivator on the Sunset Islands dares to fight the Insect Demon outside the great formation.

As a top-tier mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Insect Demon is invincible in this sea area!

"Backup is here!"

"Huh? Elder Lu... how could it be him?"

Inside the main island's grand formation, the Left Alliance Leader and other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, along with a group of Core Formation cultivators, also discovered the support from their own alliance's cultivators.

In reality, there are still many family cultivators in the archipelago area at this moment, who dare not come to provoke the insect demon.

They could either activate the grand formation, hide on their own island territory, and wait for the storm to pass.

They could either flee the archipelago headquarters directly and seek help from other top powers in the Tianxing Sea.

Some cultivators came to their aid, but before they could reach the main island, they were wiped out by the Golden Flame Insect Swarm and the Flying Hairy Zombies, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Zuo Mengzhu and the others never expected that Lu Keqing, who had previously been distrusted, would step forward to support the main island.

"Lord Lu, be careful!"

"Avoid the insect demons and enter the island from the other side."

The leader of the Left Alliance's expression changed, and he immediately sent a voice reminder.

Lu Chang'an rode the tortoise and traversed the waves, heading straight for the monstrous insect demon with overwhelming malevolent energy.

Huh?
The Insect Demon was taken aback; the cold gaze within the bronze mask scrutinized the towering figure atop the giant tortoise.

The man in white stood with his hands behind his back, his figure handsome and composed. His flowing black hair was interspersed with a few strands of silver, and his robes fluttered in the sea breeze.

His eyes were as black as ink, his gaze was ancient and distant, and he smiled slightly, nodding to the insect demon.

The insect demon felt a strange pang of fear and lowered its head, withdrawing its gaze.

call!
He put away the ancient ruler, made hand seals, and quickly collected the massive swarm of golden flame insects inside and outside the formation.

"Lord Insect Emperor, what's wrong?"

The two heretical Nascent Soul cultivators looked over with puzzled expressions.

Watching the insect demon's movements.

The Left Alliance Leader and others inside the formation were also surprised and puzzled.

The pressure on everyone was greatly reduced, and they breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to make any rash moves.

The Golden Flame Insect Swarm has collected most of it.

As the white-clad man riding a tortoise drew ever closer, the Insect Demon showed a hint of panic for the first time.

escape!
The insect demon transformed into a gray wisp of wind, soaring into the sky and fleeing madly towards the opposite sea.

"Run—"

Only after disappearing into the clouds did he shout a warning to his two evil underlings who were still standing there in shock.
