Not far away there was a cave entrance with a diameter of about ten feet, and many gray-white stones were scattered near the entrance.
Chen Yufeng raised her hand and a yellow light flew out and disappeared into the stone wall near the cave entrance.
A large cloud of yellow mist emerged near the cave entrance, and the cave entrance quickly disappeared, replaced by an uneven stone wall.
They cast spells and hid themselves.
Half a minute later, Yang Siyun and his men arrived at the deserted island.
They landed in a clearing with a lot of gray-white stones scattered on the ground.
Yang Siyun glanced around, walked quickly forward, and picked up a piece of green wood that was glowing faintly.
"I remember Qing Hong used a wood-attributed flying sword. Look around to see if there are any other clues."
Yang Siyun's face darkened and he gave the order.
She had a bad feeling that her tribesmen might have discovered something and been killed.
The five Qi-refining monks dispersed and began to search everywhere.
They found a lot of magical weapon fragments and some dried bloodstains.
On a low earthen slope, Han Changming was lying in the mud, covered with a spirit-hiding veil, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Han Daojing and Ye Xin set up a formation on the island and lured and killed two Yang family cultivators, hoping that the Chen and Yang families would be at odds with each other.
When Chen Yufeng broke the formation, she triggered the restriction and easily attracted the Yang family cultivators.
Generally speaking, the higher the ancient cultivator's cultivation level, the more powerful the restriction, the louder the noise, and the more valuables they may have. When the Yang family cultivators chased here and saw the fragments of magic weapons and blood on the ground, it was easy for them to misunderstand.
When Chen Yufeng and others arrived at the deserted island, the magic weapon fragments were not there. When they broke the ban, Han Changming threw the prepared magic weapon fragments to the ground. In this way, Chen Yufeng and others could not wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
Yang Siyun looked at the dozen or so pieces of magic weapon fragments with a frown and a gloomy look.
She had a bold guess that the two Qi-refining cultivators of the Yang family had discovered something and were killed to silence them.
"Look around and see if you can find anyone alive."
At Yang Siyun's command, the five Qi-refining monks dispersed.
After a while, a cultivator from the Yang family walked into the valley where Chen Yufeng and others were hiding.
Suddenly, a yellow blade of light flew out from the stone wall on the left hand side. The Yang family cultivator was unable to dodge and his left arm was cut off. He let out a scream and bled profusely.
Chen Yufeng, who was hiding in the dark, frowned. She felt that she had fallen into a trap. It was impossible for the Chen family cultivators to take the initiative to attack the Yang family cultivators. This was too stupid.
It was no use for her to continue hiding.
She shook her sleeves and a red light shot out.
With a scream, the Yang family cultivator exploded and turned into a bloody rain.
"We've been discovered, retreat quickly."
Chen Yufeng said in a hoarse voice, and summoned a palm-sized white flying boat. She cast a spell, and the white flying boat instantly grew larger, and a large white fog emerged.
If the Yang family cultivators were attacked, Yang Siyun would definitely come to investigate. Once discovered by the Yang family cultivators, there would definitely be a conflict. They would simply kill them to silence them and escape immediately. As long as Yang Siyun didn't see their faces, there would be no problem.
Chen Yufeng and others walked onto the white flying boat, and rolling white mist covered their entire bodies.
At this moment, a powerful gravity emerged out of nowhere, and the white flying boat was unable to take off, but instead slowly descended.
All this was naturally caused by the stone man. It was a strange stone that had become a spirit. It hid among the soil and rocks. Even Han Changming could not find it, let alone Chen Yufeng who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
At this time, Yang Siyun rushed over with her men. When she saw the tragic death of the Yang family cultivator, she immediately understood.
"You killed our Yang family and you still want to leave? Stay here."
Yang Siyun's face turned cold, and he raised his hand. A green light shot out, which turned out to be a green round tablet about a foot thick, with a green lotus pattern on the surface.
A green light flashed, and the green lotus began to spin, revealing densely packed holes.
After the "chi chi" sound of breaking through the air was heard, dense green light shot out and hit the white flying boat.
At this time, gravity had disappeared, and a shrill scream came from the white flying boat. Chen Yufeng and seven Qi-refining monks fell out of it, their expressions terrified.
"It's you, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Yang Siyun's eyes were full of fire. She thought someone was targeting the Yang family, but she didn't expect it was the Chen family.
You know, the Yang family and the Chen family are in-laws! The Yang family and the Han family are also in-laws.
Chen Yufeng secretly thought that this was not good. She knew very well that even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to clear herself of the guilt. The only option now was to kill Yang Siyun and others, as the dead cannot speak.
If Yang Siyun and others were allowed to escape, it would definitely be a big trouble.
Chen Yufeng flipped her hand and took out a red flag. She waved it gently, and the flag suddenly lit up. Dozens of red fireballs as big as fists flew out and hit Yang Siyun.
Seeing this, Yang Siyun no longer had any doubts. He thought that the Chen family must have discovered something, so they killed people to silence them.
Yang Siyun sacrificed a light blue round bead and cast a spell. Countless sea water rushed out and turned into a blue water wall more than ten feet high, blocking in front of him.
Boom!
Dozens of red fireballs hit the blue water wall and then dissipated and disappeared.
A large cloud of blue mist emerged from Yang Siyun's body, carrying her clansmen back to the way they came. With such a big incident, she had to report it to the family. She was not as good as Chen Yufeng in terms of numbers or cultivation. It would be fine if she won, but it would be troublesome if she lost. The Chen family must have discovered some important treasure, which is why they killed people to silence them.
Chen Yufeng would naturally not let them go, and said in a deep voice: "Chase them."
At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound from the ground. Two big yellow hands emerged from the ground and grabbed Chen Yufeng's feet like lightning. Countless thick yellow earth ropes emerged from the ground and entangled the whole body of the Chen family cultivator. They struggled violently, but to no avail.
Before Yang Siyun and others could escape far, a talisman with red glow flew out from the ground and turned into hundreds of red fire blades, slashing towards Yang Siyun and others.
Yang Siyun released a large blue water curtain to protect his entire body while increasing his flying speed.
Boom!
After a deafening roar, the blue water curtain exploded, and Yang Siyun and others fled far away.
Countless sharp yellow earth spears broke out of the ground and pierced their bodies. They fell to the ground. Chen Yufeng's eyes were wide open, and several yellow earth spears were stuck in her head.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue crawled out from underground and nodded to each other.
Ye Xin summoned a palm-sized red flying boat and cast a spell. With a flash of red light, the size of the red flying boat suddenly increased and suddenly turned into a three-meter-long red flying boat.
Ye Xue jumped up, and a large cloud of red mist rushed out, covering their faces.
With a whoosh, the red flying boat caught up.
Ye Xue released fire spells from time to time to attack Yang Siyun, but because the distance was too far, the attacks all missed. Yang Siyun did not dare to stop and was only focused on escaping.
Han Changming and Ye Xin stayed to deal with the body. Half a minute later, Ye Xue came back with a happy look on her face.
Their plan was mostly successful, and there was still a second step.
They put on the robes of the Chen family monks, changed their appearance, and controlled the white flying boat driven by Chen Yufeng, heading straight for Xuanqi Island.
When they arrived at Xuanqi Island, there were still monks staying on the island, but Chen Yufeng was gone. Han Changming and the other two easily wiped out the monks on the island and looted all the spiritual medicines on the island.
They attacked a total of five islands controlled by the Yang family. There were no foundation-building monks stationed on these islands. They killed all the monks stationed on the islands and stole all their property.
After doing this, they dived into the seabed and left using water escape techniques.
······
Jinhua Island is the Yang family's old nest, and Jinhua Pavilion is the Yang family's forbidden area. Only the elders can enter and exit freely.
In the Jinhua Pavilion, more than a dozen Yang family cultivators gathered together. Their faces were solemn. The head of the Yang family, Yang Tianheng, sat on the main seat with a murderous look on his face.
"Siyun, are you sure it's someone from the Yang family? Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
The cultivators of the Chen family took the initiative to attack the cultivators of the Yang family. Fifty Qi-refining cultivators of the Yang family were killed, and the immortal cultivation resources that were stolen were worth more than one hundred thousand. This was a huge loss.
"Master, I saw it with my own eyes. Everything I said is true. If I tell a lie, God will strike me with lightning."
Yang Siyun's face was filled with grief and anger. She didn't dare to escape back to Xuanqi Island that day because she was worried that the Chen family would kill her to silence her. Now it seems that she was right.
Five islands were attacked and fifty tribesmen in the Qi Refining Stage were all killed. According to the recollections of the mortals on the island, the enemy drove a white flying boat in the thick white fog, which was exactly the flying magic weapon that Chen Yufeng drove that day.
"Why would the Chen family want to attack and kill our Yang family cultivators for no reason? It doesn't make sense. Is there some misunderstanding? Don't let others use you as a gun."
A middle-aged man with an elegant face frowned and said, you know, the Yang family has been plotting against the Han and Chen families for many years, instigating a fight between the Chen and Han families.
Every time, the Yang family would hire independent cultivators to deal with the matter, and the Han and Chen families could not find any trace of the Yang family. In the past two hundred years, the Han and Chen families had fought more than ten times, with the total number of casualties exceeding two hundred, including several foundation-building cultivators.
The Yang family plotted against others, and they were also worried about being plotted against themselves.
"There was a strange phenomenon that day, it might be the cave of an ancient cultivator. The phenomenon was so big, it might be the cave of a Jindan cultivator. Maybe they haven't broken the restriction yet. Clan leader, we can't just let this go. We must seek justice."
"That's right. If we give in, the Chen family will go even further."
Yang Tianheng thought for a moment and said, "What do you think? Could it be that the Han family is plotting against us?"
You know, the Han family rose too fast, and the Chen family continued to decline. The Yang family hired casual cultivators to murder Han Changjing, intending to put the blame on the Chen family.
Could it be that the Han family found out the truth and plotted against the Yang family
The Chen and Yang families have mostly made moves, and the Han family is the biggest beneficiary, as the Han family has the motivation and strength to do so.
Yang Siyun frowned and said in disbelief: "It's impossible! Chen Yufeng killed our clansmen. Could it be that the Han family cultivator can transform into Chen Yufeng?"
There are many ways to change your appearance, but it is impossible to become someone else.
"Let's go to that island first to see if there are any other clues, and send someone to keep an eye on the Han family's movements."
Yang Tianheng thought for a while and gave the order.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a golden flying boat more than ten feet long flew out of Jinhua Island. Yang Tianheng and twenty other cultivators stood on the golden flying boat, including five foundation-building cultivators.
······
Caixia Island, Chen family.
In a secret room, Han Desheng was reporting something to Chen Hongming, who had a frown on his face.
The number of foundation-building cultivators in the Chen family is constantly decreasing. Currently, there are still six foundation-building cultivators in the family. The older generation of foundation-building cultivators have all died, and Chen Yuanhua's power is getting bigger and bigger.
"What's going on? Yufeng hasn't come back for so long? Is this another conspiracy?"
Chen Hongming's face looked a little ugly. They suffered a great loss last time. If Han Dehao had not reported the existence of the spirit stone mine, the Chen family would not have believed Han Dehao.
Over the years, Han Dehao has reported a lot of information, and the Chen family has come to trust Han Dehao more and more, otherwise Chen Yufeng would not have gone treasure hunting.
"That shouldn't be the case! We first sent Qi-refining monks to look for treasures, but they were unable to open the restriction, so we sent Aunt Yufeng. With her abilities, even if she is defeated, she can still escape unscathed. There is no reason why she can't come back."
Han Desheng said calmly that he was responsible for cooperating with the family. If the plan succeeded this time, both the Yang and Chen families would suffer heavy losses.
He can also take advantage of the situation to control the Chen family and lay the foundation for his family to annex the Chen family.
Chen Hongming's face was gloomy for a while. Chen Yufeng was one of the few cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building in the Chen family. He treated Chen Yufeng as his successor and trained him carefully.
"Clan leader, how about I take someone to take a look? Aunt Yufeng hasn't come back yet, and I feel like there's something wrong. Whether she's dead or alive, we have to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, we'll be in a passive position."
Han Desheng volunteered with a sincere tone.
"Your cultivation is too low. Let me go there! I hope Yufeng will be okay."
Chen Hongming thought for a moment and said in a deep voice that he had already cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building. As long as the Jindan cultivator did not take action, he would not be in danger even if he was defeated.
Chen Hongming, along with two foundation-building cultivators and ten Qi-refining cultivators, left Caixia Island and rushed to the location of the ancient cultivator's cave.
·····
A deserted island, an underground cave.
Yang Tianheng and more than 20 other cultivators stood in front of an uneven stone wall, and a pale white light curtain blocked their way.
The white light curtain was covered with white runes, sparkling brightly.
Through the white light curtain, you can see a human-shaped skeleton with a golden storage bag around its waist.
When they arrived at the scene, they indeed found an ancient monk's cave, but the power of the restriction was too strong and they could not break it for a while.
In a corner of the deserted island, Han Changming was lying in the mud, with only his eyes showing and his brows furrowed.
According to the plan, Chen Yuanhua would notify Chen Hongming as long as the cultivators from the Chen family arrived.
The Yang family sent five foundation-building cultivators, which was beyond Han Zhangxiang's expectations, and they broke the formation quickly.
Han Zhangxiang was already lying in ambush nearby. As long as the Chen and Yang families started fighting, they would create chaos and deepen the hatred between the two families.
Fortunately, Han Changming set up the Nine Palaces Demon-Sealing Formation, which is a simplified version of the third-order formation obtained from Mu Linger. Han Zhangxiang personally controlled the formation, so it was not so easy for Yang Tianheng and others to break the formation.
As long as we can hold off until the monks from the Chen family arrive, everything will be fine.
There were some fragments of magical instruments scattered on the ground not far away. They came from the monks of the Chen family.
