Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 387 - 194: Even Golden Core Cultivators Can Only Go Mad

Half a day passed just like this.

"Hmm?"

The black-robed, skinny elder suddenly saw a faint blood light rising into the sky in the distance.

It was precisely the signal previously given to Chen Chengzong.

"That direction is where the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow was refining essence blood, could it be that the Sacred Bird is also in trouble?"

Thinking this, a look of hesitation appeared on the black-robed elder’s face.

But moments later, he spitefully said:

"Don’t let me hear from this brat again in this lifetime, or I’ll capture and skin him alive to vent my hatred!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed elder flew into the air, escaping in the direction he came from.

This Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow was a treasure of the Sect Leader.

This time he was responsible for setting up the Blood Evil Yin Demon Array to help the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow collect cultivator essence blood and aid its breakthrough.

Now that the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow was injured, he was already negligent.

He really couldn’t afford any more accidents with that Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow.

As he fled toward the direction he came from, it wasn’t long before the Yin Demon Sect elder arrived above the island where the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow had previously landed.

As he surveyed with his Divine Sense, this Golden Core cultivator’s complexion changed dramatically.

He quickly descended and arrived not far from the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow, which was in a rampant state, constantly spewing demon fire.

Meanwhile, his gaze turned to a few people hiding far away.

Unexpectedly, in this one-day span, not only were Chen Chengzong and the middle-aged Confucian scholar present,

but also Chen Jiasheng, Chen Jiarong, and another Yin Demon Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"What’s going on, why is the Sacred Bird so angry?"

When Chen Chengzong and the others saw the black-robed, skinny elder appear, their faces initially turned to joy.

Yet, upon seeing the elder’s appearance, their faces were filled with shock.

To the extent that, for a moment, everyone forgot to speak.

The already somewhat frantic black-robed elder coldly looked at the two and spoke again.

"Cat got your tongues? I’m asking you what’s going on?"

Everyone felt the anger of this Golden Core elder, and finally, the middle-aged Confucian scholar gathered his courage to reply:

"Reporting to the elder, we don’t know either.

The Sacred Bird was refining essence blood here, but suddenly it became frantically angry."

Though puzzled about why the high-ranking elder looked like this,

he dared not ask at this moment.

The black-robed elder snorted coldly, flew to the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow, and began to communicate with it.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar and Chen Chengzong exchanged glances, their eyes filled with suspicion.

They really couldn’t fathom why Elder Xia, at the Core Formation Stage, was so severely injured.

"Could it really be Chu Ning?"

At this moment, this thought suddenly flashed through Chen Chengzong’s mind.

His entire expression turned exceedingly peculiar.

This speculation was simply too staggering for him.

Knowing Chu Ning’s Thunder Bead attack method, Chen Chengzong just couldn’t comprehend how Elder Xia had ended up suffering such a defeat.

"Could it be that Chu Ning has other Golden Core cultivators behind him?"

At this moment, Chen Chengzong thought of another possibility.

He even thought of Song Li. If that were true, his Chen Family would undoubtedly face revenge.

As Chen Chengzong, being a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, was overwhelmed with the unexpected events of these past days, leading him to wander off into wild thoughts,

"Damn it!!!"

At this point, Elder Xia suddenly let out a furious roar.

The extremely hoarse voice was chilling to hear.

This time, without waiting for questions, the black-robed elder had already turned, his eyes flashing with rage and complexity.

"The Sacred Bird was injured by the Thunder Bead, and the previously consumed essence blood required spending half for healing.

And it needs a long period of rest, even with enough cultivator essence blood for refinement, it can’t promote in a short time."

Hearing the black-robed elder’s words, everyone’s faces turned immensely grim.

They naturally knew, if the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow couldn’t promote, the consequences for everyone after this failure.

"That blond-haired kid, injured the Sacred Bird, ruined my body, he deserves to be torn to pieces!!"

The black-robed elder roared in fury at this moment!

Upon hearing this roar, Chen Chengzong and the others couldn’t help but exchange glances.

Chen Chengzong was so shocked he couldn’t help asking:

"Elder Xia, are you saying that kid injured you too?"

The black-robed elder’s expression slightly froze; he hadn’t intended to let others know of this humiliation.

But since he let it slip, he could only vaguely say:

"I had already captured the kid, but he made a desperate gamble.

Secretly triggering another Thunder Bead, and the power of this one was even greater than the last.

If I didn’t have some cultivation left, you probably wouldn’t see me now."

The skinny elder didn’t mention Chu Ning severely wounding him yet successfully escaping, but even so, it was enough to leave everyone present utterly stunned.

"A Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator repeatedly injuring a Sixth Level Demon Beast and a near Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator.

Causing the former to fail in promoting to Seventh Level Demon Beast, and the latter’s half body to be damaged severely harming his Primordial Qi.

And such a person has always been quietly concealed within the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands."

Chen Chengzong exchanged looks with his two sons, all of them feeling the absurdity and horror.

Meanwhile, the hoarse yet sinister voice of the black-robed elder reached them.

"Such a cultivator hidden in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and yet you know nothing, claiming to be the Thousand Islands Alliance; you are truly deserving of death!"

Hearing the words of the black-robed elder, the faces of Chen Chengzong and his two sons simultaneously changed dramatically.

"Elder Xia..."

Chen Chengzong just started to speak but realized something was off.

"Run!"

Chen Chengzong immediately shouted to Chen Jiasheng and Chen Jiarong.

Simultaneously, the middle-aged Confucian scholar and the other Yin Demon Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator moved into action.

Blocking the escape of the Chen family brothers.

And the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow, with a "coo," spewed a black demon fire straight at Chen Chengzong.

"Elder Xia, no!"

Chen Chengzong shouted in terror, but the skinny elder was unmoved, instead appearing ghost-like at his side.

Directly striking him back.

Instantly, the black demon fire completely engulfed Chen Chengzong.

"Xia Kui, you won’t escape me even in death!"

"Death? Have you forgotten my expertise, if you wish to be a ghost, then join my Soul Summoning Banner!

The Chen Family wanted to monopolize the Exotic Treasure, causing the plan’s failure, wipe out the Chen Family, leave no one alive!"

With this sinister voice falling,

the island echoed with three unyielding screams full of anguish.

Terrifyingly dreadful.
