Chapter 523: Chapter 132: Celestial Talisman Island in Peril!

About ten thousand miles away from Celestial Talisman Island, seven enormous tower ships were rushing toward the island.

On the ship in the middle, several Core Formation Cultivators were sitting together, faces full of seriousness, discussing something.

Among them, Master Qianfu, Cao Feiyu, was prominently present, his face full of urgency,

"Master Quanji, is what you say true, that a beast tide is sweeping toward our Celestial Talisman Island, with no less than eight Tier Three Great Demons, including the existence of a top-tier demon beast like the Ink Flood Dragon!"

Master Quanji was one of the two Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivators under Master Zhehui.

"Daoist Cao, rest assured, Daoist Brother Zhehui is a proud disciple of True Monarch Qianchuan, having Late-Stage Core Formation cultivation, and is immensely powerful!"

"Moreover, with the presence of Daoist Wang Lin and by relying on your Celestial Talisman Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, holding out until we arrive back should pose no problem!"

Speaking was an old man with gray hair, wearing the attire of Sea Suppression Immortal City, and was the envoy of Sea Suppression Immortal City in this journey, having Middle-Stage Core Formation cultivation.

"Precisely, once we return, we can launch a pincer attack and wipe all these demon beasts out in one go!"

"In this way, the crisis on Celestial Talisman Island will be resolved, and we can also harvest a wealth of demon beast materials!"

A dry, thin old man beside them advised, his gaze showing a hint of greed.

This man was an elder of the Beiyun Sect, recruited by this envoy, much like Master Qianfu.

Additionally, there were two other sects, Black Wood Island and Red Origin Sect.

A total of four sects were recruited, all being sects in the sea areas surrounding Celestial Talisman Island.

Including Master Quanji, who had just arrived, there were as many as seven Core Formation Cultivators among their party,

along with six hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and nearly four thousand Qi Refining Cultivators, making for an extremely formidable strength.

"The life or death of our Celestial Talisman Sect rests upon you all!"

Master Qianfu stood up, offering a grand salute with cupped hands.

.....

Celestial Talisman Island,

The commotion from the approaching beast tide had quickly garnered the attention of everyone on Celestial Talisman Island.

"That’s... a beast tide!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

....

The Heaven-Reaching Drum, representing a life-and-death crisis for the sect, began to sound!

It immediately awakened everyone in Celestial Talisman Sect, and countless cultivators flew out of their cave mansions, gathering at the mountain gate.

"Quick, activate the Mountain Protection Array!"

Luo Yuancheng, in charge of island affairs, was in a panic and flipped his hand, revealing a cyan-black token.

This was handed to him by Master Qianfu before leaving, as his most valued disciple, he was entrusted with partial array control authority.

Luo Yuancheng infused mana into the token, activating it,

and with a flash of radiance, the token emitted a spirit light aimed at the sky above Celestial Talisman Island.

"Boom!"

Following that, a gigantic light shield slowly rose, enveloping Celestial Talisman Island within,

"Quick, come inside!" people called out loudly,

at this moment, many disciples of Celestial Talisman Sect were still stationed outside the island. Seeing the approaching beast tide, they panicked, hurriedly steering their escape lights to rush back,

hoping to enter before the light shield closed.

"Nephew Luo, quickly invite ’Honored Guest Elder Wang’!" a white-haired old man instructed.

This was Master Feng Xin, one of the few Fake Pill Elders in Celestial Talisman Sect, now considered a high-ranking member, and thus aware of Zhou Xun’s existence.

"No need, I already know!"

At that moment, a gentle voice sounded beside everyone, and a young man in a cyan robe with a gentle demeanor appeared before them.

Contrary to everyone’s panic, his face was calm, as if the situation before them was of no concern.

It was Zhou Xun, although he was currently under the alias ’Wang Lin’.

"Greetings to Elder Wang!"

Everyone cupped their hands in salute, and their tense hearts relaxed considerably, as the scene of Zhou Xun killing the Red Fire Old Monster in public twenty years ago was deeply imprinted in their minds.

In everyone’s heart, with Zhou Xun here, they felt a sense of utmost safety.

"No need for formalities!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, lifting everyone up, and then began issuing orders,

"Yuancheng, organize the sect disciples quickly, splitting into twenty teams as rehearsed before, leveraging the array to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Luo Yuancheng acknowledged with cupped hands, then his figure flashed, selecting a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators and leaving.

Due to the incident twenty years ago, Celestial Talisman Sect specifically organized the sect disciples into fifty teams, with Foundation Establishment Cultivators leading, to resist external foes.

Previously, Master Qianfu took thirty teams when he set out, now twenty teams remained.

"As for Feng Xin, Feng Xi, you..." Zhou Xun said, looking toward the three Fake Pill Elders of Celestial Talisman Sect,

"you will act as reinforcements, and if anywhere is unable to hold, go and support!"

"Feng Heng, as a Quasi-Third Tier Array Master, you will control the Mountain Protection Array!" Having said this, Zhou Xun took out a Manipulation Command Flag and handed it over to Master Feng Heng.

"Yes!"

The several Fake Pill Elders nodded in agreement.

After arranging the defense strategy, Zhou Xun performed an incantation with both hands, his figure flashed, appearing outside the array, then moved forward toward the two figures up ahead.

...

At this moment, the two Core Formation Cultivators approaching Celestial Talisman Island were Master Huadu and his partner,

Master Huadu had a life-saving treasure bestowed by True Monarch Qianchuan, allowing him to escape smoothly.

As for the middle-aged man in yellow beside him, he was saved by Master Huadu.

"Celestial Talisman Island is right ahead, we are saved!"

Seeing the island growing larger in their sight, the middle-aged man in yellow was extremely delighted!

Master Huadu nodded, though not as optimistic as the middle-aged man in yellow, as all the demon beasts were following closely behind them.

This included the Tier Three Top-Grade Ink Flood Dragon.

With such a demon, even with the cultivators of Celestial Talisman Island added, it might still be difficult to resist!

At that moment, a figure flew out from Celestial Talisman Island, reaching them in no time; it was Zhou Xun.

At this time, with the enhancement of the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, Zhou Xun’s aura had reached Peak Core Formation.

"Wang Lingfeng, Liu Yu, greet this Daoist Brother!"

Master Huadu and the yellow-robed middle-aged man, sensing the spiritual power fluctuations from Zhou Xun, could not help being overjoyed, respectfully saluting!

"The situation is urgent, return with me inside the array first!"

Zhou Xun looked up, glancing at the massive demon beast group behind, meeting the eyes of the Tier Three Top-Grade Ink Flood Dragon.

"As expected of the Flood Dragon Race, truly extraordinary!" A thought crossed Zhou Xun’s mind,

He didn’t linger further, bringing Master Huadu and the other person back within the array.

...

On the other side, the Ink Flood Dragon led tens of thousands of demon beasts swiftly arriving,

"Report to the Great Demon King, Celestial Talisman Island is ahead!" The Floating Demon King looked at the distant island, a complex expression flashed in its eyes.

Previously, it had almost lost its life there!

"Indeed, we’ve arrived!" The Black Island Demon King’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

"That human is the one who killed the Red Fire Old Monster!" Seeing Zhou Xun flying out, the Floating Demon King’s eyes flickered with a trace of fear, but it quickly returned to calm.

’With the Black Island Great Demon King here, I won’t fear you!’ it thought.

"Peak Core Formation, is it, let me see your strength!" Watching Zhou Xun’s figure, the Black Island Demon King couldn’t help but feel a surge of battle intent.

"Men, charge!"
