The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 73 Is this Ji?
The Golden Turtle Island is about 20,000 to 30,000 miles northwest of the Broken Stone Island.

The Purple Bamboo Boat can travel about two hundred miles in an hour, and one must also guard against ferocious beasts in the sea and dangerous birds in the sky, so it can only travel less than two thousand miles a day.

After traveling for half a month and enduring countless hardships, we finally saw the Golden Turtle Island in the distance.

All four of them were in a very bad situation. Lin Bai and Pei Ning had little spiritual power left, and their spirit stones were almost used up.

Song Qing and Zhang Han looked ten years older, with dry white hair, increasingly cloudy eyes, and chapped faces and hands.

After walking slowly forward for another half a day, they could see the entire Golden Turtle Island from the sky.

The Golden Turtle Island is shaped like a turtle, as its name suggests. In the middle is a large oval island, about one mile long and wide. There are four small islands connected to it, shaped like turtle feet.

There is another island to the east of the oval island, which is the turtle head. It is more than a hundred feet high, with lush trees and birds circling around it.

"The island lives up to its name!" Lin Bai exclaimed.

"Brother Lin is indeed... a man of great skill and courage!" Song Qing said tremblingly, "Don't worry, with me as a hostage, Huang Ruchao will not dare to take action. I will also assist you two and help you escape from this place!"

"Me too!" Zhang Han followed immediately.

"Then I'll have to trouble you two brothers." Lin Bai clasped his fists and thanked them sincerely, "I will never forget your kindness!"

"You and I are brothers, you're welcome." Song Qing looked serious.

Pei Ning ignored the hypocritical words of these three people and just looked at Golden Turtle Island.

After walking slowly forward for a while, we could already see the main hall on the oval main island of Jinbie Island.

Soon, a beam of light flew over, and a hearty laugh could be heard from a hundred feet away.

"Hahaha! Junior Brother Song, Brother Zhang, you two are free and easy, I can..."

An old Taoist who was in the foundation-building stage and wearing a yellow robe with cloud patterns flew over, saw the situation inside the purple bamboo boat, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

"..." Lin Bai and Pei Ning were both speechless.

"Old Huang is becoming more and more timid." Zhang Han sighed.

Song Qing shook his head and said nothing.

But after waiting for another quarter of an hour, Huang Ruchao flew over again.

Huang Ruchao asked loudly from more than ten feet away: "Zhang Han, why are you guys in such a ghostly state?"

Zhang Han sighed. He didn't dare to speak. He just looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"My junior brother Song and I have been harmed by the Dead Tree Cicada's magical power." Zhang Han's voice was extremely hoarse.

Huang Ruchao was stunned for a moment, his expression changed twice, and he said again: "Junior Brother Song, is that true?"

"That's true." Song Qing said in a sad tone, "Brother Huang, now that we are hostages, there is no need to say anything more."

Huang Ruchao pondered for a long time and said, "You two young Taoist friends are really brave! Aren't you afraid of the revenge of my Yunxia Sect?"

"I really have no choice. Please forgive me." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

Huang Ruchao sighed and said, "Then let's go down and discuss it!" As he spoke, he looked at Song Zhang hesitantly, seeming quite anxious.

Huang Ruchao was in front and Zizhuzhou followed behind.

Soon they landed in front of the main hall in the center of Jinbie Island.

Lin Bai put the Purple Bamboo Boat into the storage ring, and he and Pei Ning escorted Song and Zhang and glanced around.

The spiritual energy here is more abundant than that of the Gravel Island, but it is also limited. However, the advantage is that the range is extremely large and endless.

Huang Ruchao was standing at the entrance of the hall, along with seven other old Qigong practitioners who looked surprised, more than ten feet away from Lin Pei and the other two.

"Please come into the hall to discuss!" Huang Ruchao spoke loudly, flicked his sleeves, and went straight into the hall.

Lin Baicai didn't dare to go in, but just smiled and said: "Senior Huang, we are here to borrow your way, just ask for your convenience, we can talk here."

Huang Ruchao stopped and looked back at Lin Bai and Pei Ning.

"What do you two want to do? Golden Turtle Island is far away overseas. Where else can you two escape to?"

Huang Ruchao frowned and sighed, "Why don't I do it? You release Song Qing and Zhang Han, and I'll let you two go."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were not stupid, so they did not believe this nonsense.

Taking a step forward, Lin Bai bowed slightly and said, "Senior Huang, we..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a buzzing sound, followed by a shrill cry.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were startled. Pei Ning continued to hold the sword tightly against Song Qing's neck. Lin Bai turned around to look.

I saw a green light coming towards me with great momentum.

"Who attacked my Yunxia Sect disciples?"

Huang Ruchao immediately flew up, and a shadow of the sea appeared behind him. He pushed out his palms and shouted, "The blue sea is rising!"

With a loud bang, Huang Ruchao fell from the sky. The escaping light also stopped, and an old Taoist in a green robe appeared.

At this moment, a burst of ochre-colored light appeared, and a shadow like a tortoise shell covered the hall, covering an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius.

"Uncle-master, we still have people outside!" an old Qigong practitioner said anxiously.

"I can't care about it!" Huang Ruchao's face turned pale and he just looked outside the formation.

Soon, another five beams of light fell behind the green-robed old Taoist priest. They were all foundation-building cultivators!
One of the old men in black robes was surprised and asked, "How could these idiots open the protective array so quickly? Did they prepare in advance? Or did our whereabouts get leaked? That's not right! They can't possibly know!"

The man in green robe did not say anything, but just looked at Song and Zhang in the protective formation.

Huang Ruchao gasped for breath, looked at Lin Bai and Pei Ning, and said: "Thanks to you, I made arrangements early and was ready to activate the protective magic circle at any time."

"Thanks to us?" Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other.

At this time, an old and experienced man rushed out of the hall and said anxiously: "Uncle Master, the message has been sent to the sect!"

"Good good!"

Huang Ruchao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Now that the magic circle has been opened and the message has been sent to the sect, we only need to hold on for two or three days."

The seven Qi training disciples in the formation responded loudly.

The six foundation-building masters outside the protective formation discussed for a moment, and then flew out one by one. Then they heard several sharp cries, presumably because the Golden Turtle Island disciples who were patrolling outside were killed.

Soon, the six foundation-building masters came to the front of the formation again, and took out their skills, whether it was flying swords, talismans, or their innate magical powers, trying to break the formation by force!

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other in silence. They had clearly come here to cause trouble, but ended up being trapped in the protective formation.

And judging from the attacks from the people outside, they were clearly extremely brutal...

The six foundation-building masters outside attacked endlessly, and the tortoise shell protective formation appeared and disappeared from time to time, but it actually blocked all of them.

Huang Ruchao and others entered the hall, and no one came to talk to Lin Pei and the others.

"It seems that we came at the wrong time..." Lin Bai said.

Pei Ning nodded.

The two of them looked towards the hall together and saw Huang Ruchao sitting cross-legged in the middle with his hands on a formation plate. The other seven Qigong practitioners surrounded him on the left and right, seemingly using their spiritual power to maintain the formation.

"Brother Song, can this protective formation last for two days?" Lin Bai asked.

Song Qing collapsed on the ground, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Looking at Zhang Han again, Zhang Han kept shaking his head and said, "Do you two understand why my Golden Turtle Island needs three foundation-building masters to guard it? It is precisely because of the rotation of three foundation-building masters that the formation can be maintained."

Pei Ning looked at the six foundation-building masters outside the protective formation and asked, "Is this Ji?"

"We are in the protective formation and are safe for now. Huang Ruchao is not in a hurry to deal with us. It should be... considered auspicious, right?" Lin Bai said.

"Where do these people outside come from?" Lin Bai has practiced meditation for a long time. Although he is unsure at the moment, he is not panicked.

“Who knows?” Zhang Han shook his head, his old face full of worry, and said: “Maybe it’s the monster from Jiuyin Mountain! They come here every few decades! Nothing has ever happened before…”

"Are they here for the silver flower algae, the main ingredient of the Huayuan Pill?" Pei Ning asked again.

"There is nothing else to come here, so we must be here for this." Zhang Han laughed bitterly, "Hua Yuan Dan is used by foundation-building cultivators to pass the level, and it is very valuable."

"Don't just stand there, come in and help!" Song Qing looked ashen. He had originally wanted to make some moves on Golden Turtle Island, but now he was in a bigger crisis. "If someone comes in, we'll all be finished."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were even more speechless.

How did we become teammates?
But looking at the ferocious looks of the six people outside the formation, it was obvious that they were not willing to reason.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning found that they seemed to have really become teammates of Huang Ruchao and others.
