Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 519 Hidden Dangers

Whether it was Shi Huishan, Wu Xufeng, or Yang Ling, they were all extremely surprised and never expected to encounter Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei again on Lingkuang Island.

Originally, they thought that Yu Changsheng must have become an inner disciple of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, and that they would be from two different worlds, and that they would never have any contact with each other again.

Unexpectedly, the group met again in less than a month.

And the scene when they met again was so absurd: Yu Changsheng did not become an inner disciple, but instead became an elder, directly becoming their superior.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, seems incredibly dramatic, yet it happened right before his eyes.

"..."

Wu Xufeng, Shi Huishan, and Yang Ling exchanged glances, their dark faces showing surprise and astonishment. After a moment of silence, Shi Huishan said softly:

"There's no mistake. Our two new elders are Yu Changsheng and his master, Elder Wei. We've spent so much time together, how could we possibly mistake them?"

"Although we don't know how they suddenly became elders, it's a good thing for us."

Wu Xufeng said in a low voice, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat hoarse.

"you mean……"

Wu Xufeng hesitated, then looked up at Shi Huishan and Yang Ling with a struggle.

Yang Ling remained silent for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes, and opened them again, a fierce killing intent gathering in his eyes.

"How can we forget Mei'er's grudge? It was all caused by that dog-food-like Liu Yun. Even if we continue to remain silent and work here for three years, what difference will it make?"

"Even if we successfully leave Spirit Mine Island three years later, we'll be powerless. Even if we can testify against Liu Yun, who will stand up for us?"

Yang Ling spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes already reddening, his voice hoarse. He blinked gently, sniffed, and continued:

"We both know Liu Yun's cultivation level. It's impossible for us to kill him on our own. Since that's the case, Yu Changsheng and the others have just arrived. This is Heaven telling you that this is the will of Heaven. Evil people must be punished, and Mei'er's revenge must be taken."

"No matter what, I will seek help from Fellow Daoist Yu Changsheng. I trust his character; they would never collude with Liu Yun. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease pretending nothing happened..."

"I will be trapped in my inner demons for the rest of my life."

After Yang Ling finished speaking, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He shook his head, swallowed hard to hide the hoarseness in his voice, and then quietly looked at Shi Huishan.

Shi Huishan remained silent, and Wu Xufeng also hesitated to speak.

A moment later, Shi Huishan smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking. Although we don't have the ability to kill Liu Yun, we can't forget Mei'er's grudge. Now that we have the opportunity, let's ask Fellow Daoist Yu Changsheng for help."

"We both know his character. Even if he really did collude with Liu Yun..."

Shi Huishan paused, shook his head, and said calmly, "Even if there really is some collusion, I accept it. He saved our lives in the first place. In any case, it's just death. What is there to fear?"

His tone was calm, as if he were recounting something completely ordinary, but the meaning behind it was enough to send a jolt through one's soul.

"Okay, since you've all said that, what can I say?"

Yang Ling waved his hand and gave a wry smile, but his smile contained more of a sense of relief.

"Well, in that case, let's wait and see how things develop. Tonight, I'll sneak over and tell Fellow Daoist Yu Changsheng about the situation."

Seeing this, Shi Huishan let out a deep breath and said this.

"Let's all go together!"

Without a second thought, Wu Xufeng looked firmly at Shi Huishan and spoke. Yang Ling nodded in agreement, his meaning clear.

"..."

Shi Huishan frowned and said, "I can go. Too many people will make us too conspicuous and easily arouse Liu Yun's suspicion."

"Just be careful. It would be better if we went together; it would increase our persuasiveness."

Wu Xufeng shook his head, remaining unmoved and firmly insisting on going together.

"All right."

Shi Huishan thought for a while and finally nodded helplessly.

"Let's get everything ready first."

Yang Ling sighed softly.

.........

.........

On the other hand, at the same time, under Liu Yun's warm hospitality, Yu Changsheng and Old Wei also couldn't refuse Liu Yun's hospitality and drank and ate with him.

The atmosphere was fairly harmonious and pleasant. After exchanging a few more words, the meal came to a close to the point that both parties were quite satisfied.

With Liu Yun personally seeing them off, Old Wei and Yu Changsheng went first to the pavilion that Liu Yun had arranged for them.

"Elders, it's almost time. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. You two have been sailing on the sea for so long and must be tired. Please rest well. If you need anything, just let me know."

Liu Yun chuckled and patted his chest, speaking with conviction and sincerity.

Old Wei gently clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a light laugh:

"Alright, then that's how it's arranged. Brother Liu, you've worked hard too, go back and get some rest. Thank you for the grand reception today."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We'll all be working together on the same island from now on, so we should take good care of each other."

Liu Yun laughed heartily, a meaningful look in his eyes.

"That's natural."

Old Wei nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and seeing Liu Yun off, Old Wei shook his head and smiled slightly, then turned to Yu Changsheng, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What do you think of this Liu Yun?"

"He's a smart man," Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, then waved his hand and nodded. "If he doesn't come to provoke us, I won't bother with him unless it's necessary."

"That's true," Old Wei nodded, observed Yu Changsheng's attic for a while, and then carefully inspected it, saying, "This Liu Yun is quite capable, but we still need to be vigilant. Carefully check whether there are any clues in the residence he arranged."

"This kind of smart person knows what he wants, but he is too scheming and we must be wary of him. Especially since he used to be the only one on Lingzhou Island who could control everything and act like a tyrant, and suddenly the two of us appeared out of nowhere, putting him in a superior position and keeping him in check. It is obviously impossible for him not to have any objections."

Old Wei spoke calmly, as if recounting something perfectly ordinary. There was none of the warm smile he had when he was with Liu Yun; instead, there was a strong sense of rationality.

"Yes, disciple knows that there are quite a few two-faced people."

Yu Changsheng nodded, his heart unmoved. His vast divine sense covered the entire pavilion, thoroughly examining every nook and cranny.

The entire pavilion was made of spirit bamboo jade, giving it a semi-transparent appearance. The three-story pavilion, with its study, bedroom, and cultivation room, was well-organized and fully furnished.

A massive and unique spirit-attracting array swirls around, drawing spiritual energy from all directions, causing the spiritual energy here to far surpass that of the outside world.

In every respect, it is indeed an excellent place to live and cultivate oneself, and the person who built it is also very practical.

"It seems like there's no problem..."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, feeling a sense of relief. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and gently touched the wall of the attic. It felt cool to the touch, like jade, and a rich spiritual energy flowed naturally from his palm.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

Yu Changsheng tapped the surface lightly with his fingers and muttered softly, "The base of this room is made of spirit bamboo jade. This material naturally attracts spiritual energy and is also an excellent medium for carrying and transmitting spiritual energy. As a valuable material for refining artifacts, it is also quite precious."

"It's just a temporary place to stay. Liu Yun is quite generous. With the rich spiritual energy here, this jade bamboo can naturally store a lot of spiritual energy. Cultivating in it will indeed make the progress twice as fast."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, a hint of doubt showing on his face. After thinking for a moment, he continued to scan with his divine sense, delving into the interior of the pavilion and the surrounding spirit-guiding array, checking little by little.

This time, Yu Changsheng noticed something different, and his expression immediately hardened, and he was slightly taken aback.

"Um?"

Yu Changsheng snorted softly. Old Wei beside him looked over in confusion, but Yu Changsheng frowned even more deeply, his eyes slightly narrowed. His divine sense penetrated the entire pavilion and formation bit by bit, as if peeling away skin and tendons.

Inside the jade bamboo that makes up the pavilion, there are extremely fine silver lines, faintly engraved, forming a mysterious mystery. The aura is well concealed, so much so that Yu Changsheng did not notice anything amiss at first glance.

These silver patterns are interconnected, and under the external spirit-attracting array, another layer of silver patterns is quietly outlined, closely connected. The two are intertwined, yet they are extremely difficult to detect under the cover of the spirit-attracting array.

Indeed, it is also a layer of formation, only this layer of formation is extremely well concealed, and the traces have been erased very well.

"To hide one formation beneath another, and with roughly the same aura... that's quite a feat."

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Using the Spirit-Attracting Array as its surface and the Spirit Jade Bamboo as its medium, and based on the characteristics of the Spirit Jade Bamboo, a massive amount of spiritual energy is continuously stored within it. When activated in a moment by another hidden array, this spiritual energy will be used as the energy source to detonate the entire pavilion all at once..."

"This pavilion is indeed an excellent place for cultivation, but it can also be a huge explosion site. As long as the person who set up this formation behind it gently triggers it... everything will be reduced to ashes in an instant."

"Given the rarity of these materials and the concentration of spiritual energy, the explosive power would be enough to severely injure even a Purple Mansion cultivator, if not kill them. Furthermore, the more spiritual energy the spirit-gathering array accumulates and the longer the explosion lasts, the greater its destructive power will be..."

Yu Changsheng chuckled coldly, his tone growing increasingly icy towards the end.

"This Liu Yun is indeed a clever man, with many ideas and good methods."

Upon hearing this, Old Wei's expression showed a hint of surprise. He then slowly put his hands behind his back, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "So you noticed it too. I knew this Liu Yun was a bit strange. I didn't expect him to have such a little trick up his sleeve..."

Old Wei paused, sighed, and shook his head: "One can never be too careful. Indeed, these clever people are the most complicated."

"In that case, what are your next steps?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, tapping his forehead lightly with his finger. After a long while, he spoke coldly: "Let's wait and see how things develop. However, this matter has also reminded me that I need to be more careful."

"This kind of person with ill intentions is already courting death. Originally, I thought that if Liu Yun could honestly and properly entertain and settle everything, then we could turn a blind eye to his various motives and pretend we didn't see them. It would be best to keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. But..."

Yu Changsheng paused, swallowed hard, and slowly exhaled. His expression grew even colder, and his tone carried a hint of killing intent.

"Since he has such thoughts, then don't blame us for being ruthless. We should seize the opportunity and kill him."

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, his expression returning to its usual composure and indifference.

Spirit Mine Island produces high-grade and even top-grade spirit stones, and Liu Yun, as the manager of this island, was the highest-ranking manager here before Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao arrived.

The amount of profit involved is unimaginable. Given how well Liu Yun had tricked the two of them before, Yu Changsheng originally thought that even if Liu Yun had some tricks up his sleeve in this spirit stone mine, he wouldn't bother to care and would just let him be.

But now that Liu Yun has long harbored malicious intentions, Yu Changsheng's goodwill towards Liu Yun has vanished completely.

However, Liu Yun was, after all, an outer elder of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, and it was obviously inappropriate to kill him directly. A suitable reason was needed. Therefore, Yu Changsheng would not kill Liu Yun directly for the time being.

Even though Liu Yun's cultivation was also quite impressive, nearing the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, Yu Changsheng was still confident he could defeat him.

"This is the only way forward for now."

Old Wei sighed softly and nodded, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"Well, let's observe for a while and wait for the right opportunity."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he sensed the array fluctuations hidden in the surrounding pavilions. His eyes flashed with a faint light. As he pondered, his internal magic power surged, and he cast several mysterious runes, imprinting them on the surrounding walls.

"seal up!"

The faint light flashed and disappeared without causing the slightest disturbance.

"Unfortunately, even if you detonate the formation, with my current physical strength, I estimate it will be difficult to shake it in the slightest."

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips slightly; he was still confident in his own physical strength.
