Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 380 - 191: Where Is He? He Escaped!

The crowd stared in terror at the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow that appeared in the sky, along with the emaciated old man in a black robe on its back.

Although they didn’t know what the Blood Evil Yin Demon Array was like Cen Wenquan did,

they had already vaguely realized something was off.

"Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow, it’s indeed the Yin Demon Sect!"

At this moment, Cen Wenquan shouted, his face turning ugly as he yelled:

"Fellow Daoists, let’s join forces to attack and break the array. This Blood Evil Yin Demon Array is one of the three great arrays of the Yin Demon Sect.

If this array runs completely, it will absorb the essence blood of all of us, and we will be unable to resist."

Hearing Cen Wenquan’s words, the faces of many cultivators in the small venue immediately changed dramatically.

"Chen Chengzong!"

At this moment, Bai Heng shouted, his face turning livid.

The Bai Family has always been close to the Chen Family, but now, all the Bai Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, including himself, were trapped in the array.

Upon hearing Bai Heng’s roar, Chen Chengzong’s expression remained unchanged, only looking coldly at the crowd in the array.

At this moment, although some were still panicking and yelling, more cultivators were already taking action.

Immediately, within the faint blood-red giant light shield, all sorts of spell lights flew up, striking the light shield.

Upon seeing this, the emaciated old man in the black robe snorted coldly and waved an array banner in his hand repeatedly.

The Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow also spat out clusters of blood-colored demon fire, falling on the light shield.

Instantly, the blood-red color on the light shield began to deepen from light to dark.

The many cultivators trapped in the small venue at this moment felt their blood surging.

It seemed as though the blood in their bodies was about to break through and spatter out at any moment.

Immediately, many Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, their faces filled with horror, stopped attacking and sat down cross-legged to resist the suction.

Seeing this, Cen Wenquan became anxious and shouted urgently.

"Everyone, don’t stop attacking. If this array isn’t broken, it gets stronger with every cultivator’s essence blood it absorbs.

If you stop now to protect yourselves, we’ll all die eventually!"

These words from Cen Wenquan did make some cultivators, who were about to stop attacking, resume their spell attacks.

However, without deliberately using magical power to suppress, some less powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t resist the suction of the array.

"Ah!!"

At this moment, a short cultivator let out a miserable scream first.

The next moment, blood from his body seeped out.

Then it instantly turned into a column of blood, sucked up into the sky, condensing on the blood-colored light shield.

Immediately, the person turned into a dried corpse and fell directly to the ground.

This scene undoubtedly shocked all the cultivators present.

Some cultivators who felt their blood surging and were still attacking also stopped one after another.

Either releasing protective shields or sitting down using cultivation techniques to suppress.

No matter how Cen Wenquan continued to shout, it was to no avail.

Seeing this scene, the emaciated old man in the black robe, along with Chen Chengquan and the others, all showed smiles on their faces.

This all sounds like a long story, but, in fact, it only lasted a few breaths.

"Now’s the time!"

In the distance, Chu Ning, upon seeing the emaciated old man and the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow making consecutive moves, had his gaze flicker slightly.

He concluded that the man and demon would be restrained by the array.

Chu Ning’s figure flickered, and with a Thunder Shock Step, he flashed between Chen Jiarong and the middle-aged scholar.

These two were also drawn by the unusual phenomena of the Blood Evil Yin Demon Sect and surprisingly didn’t intercept him at first.

When they reacted, in the next moment, Chu Ning had already risen into the sky to escape rapidly.

"Trying to escape?"

The middle-aged scholar let out a light hum and rose into the air to pursue him.

Chen Jiarong immediately followed in flight.

What surprised the two was that Chu Ning’s escape technique at that moment was far faster than they anticipated.

Chu Ning’s figure flashed a few times in the air and appeared a hundred meters away.

"Who on earth is this person? Not only did he see through our plan, but he also possesses such a quick escape technique."

The middle-aged scholar spoke, his tone carrying disbelief.

However, his tone was not like when he had just conversed with Chu Ning.

Instead, it carried a more sinister tone.

Chen Jiarong’s face was also full of surprise, but he let out a light laugh:

"No rush, the array on the outskirts of the Thousand Islands Hall has also activated, he can’t escape."

Despite saying this, the two still pursued closely behind.

However, Chu Ning, using the Divine Wind Escape, was exceptionally fast, and they simply couldn’t catch up.

Soon, Chu Ning had already flown to the edge of the Thousand Islands Hall.

At this moment, the Thousand Islands Hall was similarly enveloped by a light shield, clearly with an array restriction in place.

Chen Jiarong, watching Chu Ning continue flying straight towards the light shield without stopping, couldn’t help but show a hint of a playful smile.

But the next moment, what left him and the middle-aged scholar incredibly baffled.

They only saw a flash of white light appear, enveloping Chu Ning’s body.

The next moment, this flash of white light disappeared, and Chu Ning vanished inside the light shield.

Chen Jiarong and the middle-aged scholar exchanged glances, both eyes filled with incomprehension.

Naturally, they couldn’t just fly out from there, so they detoured to the main entrance of the Thousand Islands Hall.

However, when the two walked out the gate, there was no sign of Chu Ning.

Just as they exchanged puzzled glances, a figure flashed and appeared; it was Chen Chengzong.

"The array inside has already been activated. Elder Xia instructed me to come here and capture that cultivator.

He wants to find out how the opponent discovered our plan."

Upon saying this, Chen Chengzong looked at the two with some curiosity.

"Where did Chu Ning go?"

"He fled!" Chen Jiarong replied with a hint of embarrassment.

"Fled?" Chen Chengzong’s face was full of suspicion.

"There is a protective array here, how could he have run out?"

"This is exactly the strange thing we are feeling." Chen Jiarong explained, recounting the recent events to Chen Chengzong.

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator from the Chen Family showed a contemplative expression upon hearing this.

"From what you’ve said, it seems Chu Ning used the Divine Wind Escape that was long lost to the Liu Family.

But how could he break the array and get out directly?"

Thinking of how Chu Ning had once emerged from the Iron Meteorite Forest alive.

A sharp glint passed through Chen Chengzong’s gaze in the next moment.

"I have a premonition that this person might be connected to Liu Yishan’s disappearance years ago, and possibly even related to Song Li.

It’s possible that even the death of Xinming is tied to him."

Upon saying this, Chen Chengzong’s voice turned cold.

"Pursue him! The Teleportation Array on Thousand Illusion Island has been closed, and there are sect cultivators guarding all the exits. I refuse to believe he can escape anywhere.

You go to the Teleportation Array and inquire if any Foundation Establishment Cultivators have been there.

I will check the perimeter; if he truly wants to leave, someone must have seen him."

"Yes, Father!" Chen Jiarong immediately responded.

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar chimed in:

"I will now send a swift message that any cultivators leaving this island are to be killed without exception."

With that, they began to act separately.

The middle-aged scholar also followed Chen Chengzong to the outskirts.

Currently, near the Teleportation Array on Thousand Illusion Island, Chu Ning had already changed his appearance and concealed his cultivation aura at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile, he cursed inwardly.

"Unexpectedly, the Chen Family even closed the Teleportation Array; this is troublesome."

Although he now seemed entirely like another person, staying there still felt unsafe.

Leaving the island, or even Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, would be the correct choice.

Not daring to use Divine Wind Escape again, Chu Ning utilized a normal Escape Technique to fly to the outskirts of Thousand Illusion Island.

Simultaneously, his attention turned to a jade token inside his Storage Bag.

This was the last item left to him by Cen Zijin among many things.

Even now, Chu Ning could vividly remember the words written on the note inside the jade token.

"On Jade Spring Island, there is a teleportation array that can access the outside world, originally an ancient ruined array that I repaired for use, unknown to others.

If absolutely necessary, use the jade token to activate this teleportation array and leave safely!"

"Cen Zijin was chased away from Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and now, years later, it’s my turn."

Chu Ning muttered to himself silently, but what troubled him even more was how to reach Jade Spring Island.

He had visited the island once; it wasn’t accessible via the Teleportation Array, but it wasn’t too far from Feihong Island.

Chu Ning’s previous thought was to use the Teleportation Array to return to Feihong Island and then proceed to Jade Spring Island.

What he didn’t expect was that the arrays, once managed by the Cen Family, had already completely fallen under the Chen Family’s control.

Flying to the outskirts of Thousand Illusion Island, Chu Ning saw from afar, in the sky at intervals, there were cultivators.

All these cultivators were Foundation Establishment Cultivators without exception.

"There’s certainly not this many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands; these people must be from the Yin Demon Sect."

Chu Ning felt a chill inwardly.

He paused slightly, noticing some Qi Refining Cultivators already flying away from Thousand Illusion Island.

Moreover, other Qi Refining Cultivators were continuously flying out.

He clenched his teeth and followed behind three Qi Refining Cultivators headed towards the outskirts.

The three glanced back at Chu Ning but asked nothing more, assuming he was coincidentally leaving with them.

A group of four was about to fly out of Thousand Illusion Island.

At this time, a burly Foundation Establishment Cultivator appeared to block their way.

"Where are you heading?"

The leader promptly bowed in respect.

"Reporting to the senior, we juniors intend to go to Fenglin Island."

During the conversation, another horse-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator appeared.

The two Foundation Establishment Cultivators exchanged a glance, then the burly man waved his hand, saying:

"Fenglin Island? Go on then."

The group immediately rejoiced and flew out.

Just as Chu Ning felt alert, holding onto the Double Fire Ring.

Suddenly, his expression changed; magical power surged into the Double Fire Ring.

Immediately, flames flickered around him, and a protective shield formed from gathered fire appeared externally.

Simultaneously, the burly man and horse-faced cultivator attacked, casting several spells towards Chu Ning and the others.
