Chapter 371: Chapter 204: The Hidden Black Hand_2
"Canglan Daoist! Are you seeking death!"
"Is it you, old thief, who plotted against us?"
"I was wondering why all of a sudden, news of a Golden Core Realm senior’s Dao Field emerged!"
"Canglan Daoist, do you think the three of you alone can oppose us?"
...
After these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators ceased fighting, they gathered together, focusing their intent on the three of Canglan Daoist.
"Hehe!"
Canglan Daoist chuckled lightly and said, "Everyone, this matter can’t be blamed on poor Daoist. If not for your own greed, how could you come here? I did not force any of you."
"Shameless old thief!"
"Everyone, join forces! First kill this person! Then we can continue to determine superiority and distribute the Treasure Artifacts here!"
Several Foundation Establishment Realm experts shouted loudly, urging others to join in and eliminate Canglan Daoist and his companions.
"Bang bang..."
Suddenly, Wang Zi from the "Hai Tao Sect" and two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators under his command launched an attack, instantly ambushing three nearby Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!
Before everyone could react, the people from "Hai Tao Sect," under Wang Zi’s lead, had already broken free from the sect and clan circles, moving toward Canglan Daoist.
No one expected, at this moment of shared hatred, to be backstabbed from within!
"Wang Zi, you..."
Zhu Heming, the sect leader of the "Zhu Dan Sect," was filled with disbelief in his eyes.
"Hai Tao Sect" has been an old force on "White Sand Island" for hundreds of years, spanning three generations. How could they betray?
The other sects and clans were equally unable to believe this scene.
Everyone grew wary, many unconsciously stepped back, distancing themselves from others, fearing another "companion" might backstab them.
The action of "Hai Tao Sect" directly caused fractures within this temporary alliance, making trust nonexistent among everyone.
"Hehe! We’ve long since pledged allegiance to Canglan Master!"
Looking around at everyone’s stunned and angry expressions, Wang Zi laughed heartily, his face showing pride.
"Master?"
Compared to the betrayal of "Hai Tao Sect," the word "Master" was even more shocking. Zhu Heming and some experts from the clans and sects were stunned, revealing horrified expressions.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the title "Master" isn’t used lightly. In the Profound Sect, only Golden Core Realm experts are worthy of the title "Master!"
Could this Canglan Master be a Golden Core Realm expert?
"Impossible! Your cultivation isn’t much stronger than ours!"
The grey-clothed old man who previously injured Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi spoke solemnly, his expression serious.
"Xuan Ziyin! Poor Daoist suffered some injuries over the years, dropped my realm, and thus secluded myself on ’White Sand Island’ to recuperate."
Canglan Master laughed and said, "You are talented. If you are willing to submit to poor Daoist, I can spare your life and teach you the Golden Core Dao!"
"Hehe! Is that so!"
The grey-clothed old man Xuan Ziyin sneered coldly, "As they say, a plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken! You want to make me submit? Utterly ridiculous! Once I capture you and conduct Soul Search, all your knowledge will be mine!"
This low-key expert, at this moment, lost his low-key demeanor, instead looking down at everyone with a dominating aura, leaving those "companions" dumbfounded.
"Hahaha..."
Xuan Ziyin’s words made Canglan Master laugh wildly. After a long laugh, he stopped, coldly sweeping his gaze over the crowd, and said, "Xuan Ziyin, you are quite impressive, but do you think you alone can oppose me? Or do you rely on these weaklings to help you?"
At this moment, after intense combat, there were only twelve Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators left in the East Hall!
On Canglan Master’s side, together with the red-clothed young woman, Wang Zi, and two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from the "Hai Tao Sect," there were five in total.
Among these five, Canglan Master and Wang Zi were top experts present, having the advantage of conserving their energy.
Furthermore, there was the "Lava Tiger," tough and resilient, almost reaching Tier Two peak level, immensely powerful, its combat strength comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
Such strength gave Canglan Master confidence, believing he could take down the opponent.
"Hehe! Then let’s try! No one knows who will survive!"
Xuan Ziyin sneered coldly, seemingly unafraid of the opponent, possibly hiding some secret methods.
Zhu Heming, the sect leader of "Zhu Dan Sect," also calmed down, his sinister gaze fixed on Wang Zi, and said darkly, "The moment we entered the underground passage, we should have killed your ’Hai Tao Sect’!"
"Hehe! No need to say such hindsight words! Now, you have no chance to kill me!"
Wang Zi looked at Zhu Heming disdainfully. No one knew Canglan Master’s prowess better than Wang Zi.
Such an expert as Canglan Master had promised to nurture him. As long as he could unify "White Sand Island," the resources he would gain would significantly increase his confidence to reach Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven, or even higher.
This is the true reason behind "Hai Tao Sect’s" betrayal!
Loose cultivators and small sects have incomplete legacies. If guided by a Golden Core Realm expert, it would be an enormous chance. For the sake of his dao path, Wang Zi was willing to risk everything and lead the entire sect to pledge allegiance to Canglan Master.
Meanwhile, as both sides were confronting, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi had already reached the backyard. Without hesitation, they directly leaped into the pool.
The pool, about three zhang in diameter, had scalding hot water, reaching over a thousand degrees.
However, this temperature was nothing to Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.
