“Princess?”
The fourteen cultivators on the human side all focused their attention on the blue-clothed woman who was being protected by the demonic cultivators.
In fact, before they had even met the Goblin Tribe cultivator, Yang Junshan and the rest had already guessed the identity of this woman in the Goblin Tribe. She was actually able to stand guard at the heart of so many high level Goblin Cultivators, and now that she had revealed the title of “Princess”, they were shocked to the point that they had forgotten the condition put forward by the self-proclaimed “General”, other than the three cultivators of Lan Family.
“Impossible!”
Adept Bluesea immediately refused.
Alchemy was the foundation of the Lan Family, but these pill formulas were also priceless treasures to the Lan Family. The Lan Family had been around for thousands of years, and through the accumulation of past generations of Lan Family pill refiners, he had naturally grasped many unique pill formulas. Not to mention giving them to the foreign races, even if these pill rooms were to be leaked, the status of the Lan Family in the cultivation world would probably be affected.
However, Spiritual Master Bluesea might not have noticed it, but when he was talking to the Demonic cultivator, he had leaked ouiece of news. It was that the reason the Sea Demons attacked Sea Cliff Island together was because they had previously negotiated with the Lan Family.
However, Yang Junshan watched coldly from the side, only to realize that the other cultivators’ expressions were not very good. It was clear that they arrived at the Sea Cliff Island earlier than him to participate in the defense against the sea demons and the cultivators did not know of this news, so it seemed like the Lan Family was deliberately hiding this from them.
He looked at the other three cultivators of the Lan Family and said, “Don’t be in sucurry to refuse, Spiritual Master Lan. Unless your Lan Family is truly prepared to let everyone on the island die with you, my princess is merciful and wants you to wait two more days. If the Lan Family is still not in his right mind in two days, then the Azure Grass Sea will no longer have Sea Cliff Island wherever our Demon Clan army passes by!”
As soon as the “general” finished speaking, the expressions of the people on the island all changed. The banshee, who was surrounded by the crowd of demonic cultivators, suddenly turned and left, followed by the 16 surrounding cultivators. Only the “general” turned his head and sneered at everyone.
After the Demonic cultivator left, the crowd fell silent for a moment. The strength and determination that the Demonic cultivator displayed was indeed frightening, but what puzzled the crowd was why would the Siren work so hard for a Lan Family?
Although the Lan Family was famous in the cultivation world overseas for refining pills, but when did the pills they refined become so important to the demons?
But compared to these questions, the majority of the cultivators were more concerned about their own lives. If previously, the various cultivators relied on their Lan Family’s many years of operation on Sea Cliff Island and were able to fend off the attacks of the demon race, then after displaying their strength and determination just now, everyone’s hearts were beating wildly!
However, in order to wait for the appearance of the Tiancheng, the various cultivators unanimously gave up on the opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Furthermore, to assist the Lan Family in defending against the encirclement, if the Sea Cliff Island were to fall, the entire Azure Grass Sea would fall into the control of the demons. At that time, how could they even have the chance to enter the Tiancheng?
However, now that the encirclement by the demons was in full swing, it would be difficult for them to break out of it even if they wanted to!
Most importantly, after fighting with the spirit demon cultivator for so long, they suddenly realised that they had been used by the Lan Family!
Taoist Master Zhao Zichang, who was assisting Lan Family in guarding the Half Moon Formation was the first to speak and break the silence. He said in a cold voice, “Fellow cultivator Lan, how does Lan Family explain what the spirit demon cultivator said earlier is? Why didn’t we know this beforehand? ”
Initially, they thought that the reason why the Demonic Cultivators surrounded and attacked the Sea Cliff Island was also to fight for the opportunity to enter the Tiancheng. However, it seems like that was not the case now.
However, Yang Junshan thought further, because he already knew that the news of the appearance of the Tiancheng in the Sea of Cyanwood was initially spread from the Lan Family, then if this news was spread deliberately by the Lan Family, in order to attract cultivators from various places, and use their power to resist the encirclement of the Goblins, then the intention of the Lan Family was truly worrisome.
In other words, all of this was built on the basis of the illusion of the Tiancheng, and all of this was created by the cultivators of the Lan Family on the basis of the appearance of the Azure Grass Sea.
Yang Junshan could not help but feel cold in his heart.
Yang Junshan looked at the Blue Sea Cliff Zhenren, who was being questioned by Spiritual Master Zhao Zichang, and suddenly thought of that youth, Lan He Ming. If even a disciple of the Lan Family like him knew that the news of the birth of Tiancheng was spread by Lan Ruiyang, then it was likely that many other cultivators of the Lan Family knew about it.
“My fellow dao friends, this is not the place to speak. Please come to Lan Family for a chat.”
Lan Ruifang, the current patriarch of the Lan Family cupped his hands towards the crowd and said.
As the gazes of the crowd shifted, Master Ke Wuxiang, a Successor Disciple of Sea Moon Pavilion, took the lead and said, “Sure!”
Daoist Master Zhao Zichang hesitated for a moment, but he still nodded.
Everyone’s eyes landed on Yang Junshan at the same time. Although Yang Junshan did not form a faction, his supreme position as a formation master caused everyone to havigh opinion of him. If not for Yang Junshan constantly rushing and protecting the four great formations, Sea Cliff Island would have already been destroyed by the Sea Demons.
Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “As you wish!”
Within the Lan Family’s Great Hall, Yang Junshan entered and looked around, as if his attention was not focused on what was being discussed, and had only broughair of ears with him.
In the past few days, the other cultivators had gotten a better understanding of his personality, so it was a common occurrence.
It was still Taoist Master Zhao Zichang who was the one making a fuss. “Then Taoist Master Lan should give us an explanation now, right?”
Hearing this, Spiritual Master Bluesea laughed bitterly and said, “This old man admits that the Lan Family was besieged by the Sea Demons this time. I do have the intention of borrowing your power!”
“Good, very good, so it turns out that all of us have become Taoist Master Lan’s pawns. Lan Family is truly a good technique, daring to scheme against so many true cultivator friends. In the future, wouldn’t your Lan Family be afraid of dying without a burial ground?”
Daoist Master Zhao Zichang was so angry that he started laughing.
Immediately, one of the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns said coldly, “If his Lan Family did not borrow our power to wipe out his entire clan, with our help, he would at least be able to stall his Lan Family for a while. As for the future, hehe, do you still need to know?”
The atmosphere in the Lan Family Clan Hall immediately dropped to ice. All of the cultivators stared coldly at the three Spiritual Masters, as if they would start a fight at any moment.
“Everyone, everyone!”
Ke Wu Xiang stood up and said: “Even if there’s thousands of enemies in front of him, if his Lan Family does not have one, it would still be hard to deal with them right? If there’s an internal conflict right now, wouldn’t that mean that the Demon Race is in charge? ”
Ke Wuxiang stood up and started speaking. All the cultivators in the clan hall had to show some face; the previously tense atmosphere was suddenly relieved.
Yang Junshan’s gaze was fixated on the carved flowers on the two pillars outside the main hall, as though the carving technique was even more captivating than formation runes and talismans.
Lan Rui Yang stood up and said: “Everyone, although my Lan Family does intend to borrow your power to resist the Sea Demons, but you have come this time for the news of the Tiancheng’s birth. In this ocean of blue algae, without my Sea Cliff Island, where would you all go?”
Huang Haiping couldn’t help but say, “If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have taken this risk.”
Lan Rui Yang laughed coldly, but didn’t say anything. This time, the other people in the family hall didn’t agree.
The Lan Family didn’t force them to come to the Azure Grass Sea to look for the Tiancheng, but once they came to the Azure Grass Sea, no matter what the Lan Family told them in advance, they would have to gather at the Sea Cliff Island in order to be able to resist the siege.
Yang Junshan looked to be in a trance, but everything that happened in the clan hall could not escape his senses. Only, what made him curious was that no one mentioned anything about the existence of the Tiancheng Mirage in the Sea of Bluealgae.
Therefore, he forcefully suppressed his anger and said: “Then what is your Lan Family planning to do next, are you really going to let me die with you, your Lan Family?”
When Lan Ruiyang heard this, he coldly said, “What does Spiritual Master Zhao mean?”
There was no need for Zhao Zichang to respond, the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign called Sun Mengde immediately replied, “Needless to say, those demon clan members clearly understand, as long as the Lan Family has an Alchemy Inheritance, then your Lan Family will hand over those alchemy recipes to those demon clan members.”
“This is impossible!”
Hearing that, Lan Rui Yang immediately jumped up and said: “My Lan Family has thousands of years of heritage, how can we easily hand over the item to settle down to others? Rather than that, wouldn’t it be even more satisfying for my Lan Family to submit to the Spirit Demon Race! ”
“Then, Lan Family members, are you planning to just watch us fight to the death with the Spirit Demon Race?”
Spiritual Master Sun Meng De said with a cold tone.
“Do you really think that when my Lan Family hands over those pill formulas and inheritances, the Spirit Demon race will let us go?”
The patriarch of the Lan Family, Lan Rui Fang, saw that the situation was bad and immediately said with a bitter smile, “If these pill formulas and legacy were to fall into the hands of my Lan Family, those demon clan members might still have some misgivings. Once we hand them over, hehe …”
Daoist Master Sun Meng De whispered, “If we don’t try, how would we know …”
This time, even he himself felt a little lacking in confidence.
Ke Wuxiang asked curiously, “What does the Monster race want your Lan Family’s Alchemy Recipe legacy for?”
Lan Rui Fang smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know!”
Ke Wu Xiang paused for a while, then cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, “Fellow cultivators, since the situation has come to this, it seems that we can only break out of this encirclement.”
Zhao Ziming and Ke Wuxiang did not seem to be on good terms, so Zhao Ziming asked coldly, “Break through? How confident was Dao Friend Ke? You have seen the strength of the Sea Demons, do you think they won’t prepare themselves? ”
Ke Wuxiang replied seriously, “Staying on the island is only a matter of time. If you break out of the encirclement, the chances of survival are the highest among everyone here!”
The eyes of the crowd shifted once again. At this time, the Lan Family’s main hall was filled with the fourteen most powerful cultivators on the island, all of them with cultivations above Heavenly Dipper Realm. If they chose to break through, they were indeed the most likely to survive.
At this time, Ke Wuxiang’s voice sounded again, “Three Spiritual Masters, although I do not know why Hai Yao has taken a fancy to the Lan Family’s Alchemy Recipe legacy, as long as it breaks through, my Sea Moon Pavilion is willing to provide protection for the Lan Family. How about it?”
