Chapter 370: Chapter 204: The Hidden Black Hand
The sudden roar from not far away startled many cultivators. As they looked in the direction of the sound and scanned with their divine senses, they discovered an additional "Lava Tiger."
This giant tiger was ten zhang in size. As it stepped into the manor, it immediately revealed its sharp fangs and let out an earth-shattering roar. On its back stood three cultivators.
An elder, a woman, and a youngster!
Li Yunjing was already outside the East Hall and was the first to see them. To his surprise, one of them was Lin Kai, which left him utterly shocked.
"It’s Lin Kai!"
Yu Yunyi was equally astonished!
This intermediary seemed to have more connections than they had imagined?
Neither Li Yunjing nor Yu Yunyi had expected Lin Kai and his backing to arrive here!
When Lin Kai had originally transmitted his voice to Yunjing, saying there was an elder’s cave, was he referring to this place?
The situation was becoming increasingly mysterious, and the circumstances more chaotic!
"Let’s go!"
Li Yunjing had a vague sense of something being off and didn’t dare face them directly. Elevating his speed to the maximum, he grabbed Yu Yunyi and shot towards the pond in the backyard.
"Those two little ones ran quite fast."
Lin Kai, from atop the tiger, saw Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi’s actions clearly and chuckled softly.
Spring sowed the seeds, autumn brought the harvest.
Lin Kai and his companions arrived at their well-prepared fertile garden.
"Ignore them for now! Let’s kill the others first!"
The leading elder snorted coldly, patting the "Lava Tiger’s" head. The giant tiger roared again, shaking its head, and then darted towards the East Hall.
Seeing newcomers arrive, the fight inside the East Hall didn’t cease; instead, it became more intense.
The various cultivators in the fight assumed Lin Kai and his companions were there for the same reason: they had heard the news and came to seize the treasures.
But Lin Kai’s group—one insignificant Qi Refining Realm cultivator and two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators—didn’t frighten the others; it only made them slightly anxious.
Everyone desperately tried to get closer to the treasure artifact, hoping to grab it before the tiger attacked and then escape.
"Boom!"
The battle became even fiercer the next moment.
"Greed is truly terrifying!"
As Lin Kai and his companions approached the door of the East Hall, Lin Kai couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Hehe! Aren’t we the same?"
The white-robed elder sneered and leapt down from the "Lava Tiger."
Nearly simultaneously, the red-robed woman also jumped down from the tiger’s back.
The two Foundation Establishment Realm experts entered the East Hall almost instantly, while Lin Kai remained seated on the "Lava Tiger’s" back, slowly making his way into the hall.
His cultivation was too low to dare descend.
With the "Lava Tiger" beside him, only then did Lin Kai dare enter the hall, feeling somewhat frustrated. He remembered the days when he had flaunted his power and commanded a region.
Yet now, he needed protection from the "Lava Tiger" beneath him.
How ironic was that?
It verified the old saying: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west!
Once inside, the white-robed elder and the red-robed woman immediately chose their targets.
Their attacks were perfectly synchronized with the "Lava Tiger," effortlessly killing two other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators instantly!
This scene shocked many.
Who would’ve thought that the white-robed elder and the red-robed woman were so powerful!
Which level of Foundation Establishment Realm could exhibit such power to kill peers instantly?
"Canglan Daoist! How dare you kill our people?"
A sect’s Foundation Establishment Realm expert recognized the identity of the white-robed elder and shouted angrily.
Canglan Daoist had been a long-term guest of "White Sand Island," residing there for ten years. He had always presented himself with the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Realm’s Third Heaven. Now, this old rogue suddenly acted far beyond the Third Heaven Realm?
The sharp-eyed experts quickly realized he was at their level, possibly even higher.
Such a person had been hiding in plain sight, yet they hadn’t noticed—a fact that made many people’s faces turn pale.
Simultaneously, each Foundation Establishment Realm expert felt uneasy, sensing that Canglan Daoist’s arrival was no coincidence!
"Hahaha! Had I not provided information, how would you have found this place?"
Canglan Daoist laughed loudly, indifferent to the angry reprimands, confident that the outcome was determined.
Lin Kai, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed someone becoming distracted by Canglan Daoist’s words. He tapped the "Lava Tiger’s" head, and the tiger understood, immediately pouncing forward.
How experienced was Canglan Daoist?
Seeing his third brother make a move, he also spotted the person’s flaw, and a moment later, he transformed into a stream of light, charging forward. With the tiger’s assistance, he killed another Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, feeding the spirit beast.
Someone attempted to intervene, but the red-robed woman stopped them!
The seamless cooperation of the three siblings shocked the sect and clan cultivators.
One by one, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators dared not continue their internal battles and stopped their attacks, forming a sparse alliance, confronting Canglan Daoist and his companions.
