Chapter 264 Protection (Bonus chapter for 1000 monthly votes! Please vote!)

Yan Yingcheng had two sons and one daughter after marriage, all of whom are now older. They also have children after marriage.

In addition to servants and maids...

There were nearly a hundred people!
"Too many people."

Even without Zhu Ju's reminder, Yan Lan knew that with so many people, it was impossible to avoid being seen.

Even if there is fog to cover it, it won't work.

"Apart from your personal maid, everyone else may leave on your own."

"No!"

Yan Lan shook his head and said:
“The maids also went to find places to hide on their own. In the chaos, they wouldn’t be able to care about anything else. It would be more dangerous for them to follow us.”

"quick!"

"Get out!"

She urged them loudly, and although the servants did not know what was going on, they clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Before long, they had scattered and fled.

The group had just stepped out of the courtyard.

"boom!"

A deafening roar came from the center of Cloud Whale Island, followed by a violent shaking of the entire island, with large chunks of rock tumbling down in the distance.

Look closely.

Even with the thick fog obscuring the view, one could still vaguely see various shimmering lights.

That direction is...

"Ancestral home!"

Yan Lan exclaimed in shock:
"They really attacked the Yan family!"

Although she had some expectations and speculations, she still held onto a sliver of hope that all parties could calm down.

However,

What's meant to come will come.

Moreover, it came so quickly and so fiercely. The attack just now, which was launched by someone, had already triggered a third-order grand formation.

"go!"

Zhu Ju thought for a moment and said:
“I have a place to stay in Fangshi, which is relatively safer than here. I’ll go there to lay low for a while first.”

"Yes." Yan Lan nodded, her face filled with gratitude.

"Brother Zhu, thank you very much."

"This isn't the time to talk about this. Let's keep our spirits up on the road and hopefully avoid any trouble." Zhu Ju shook his head and sighed.
"My senior brother really knows how to assign me tasks."

"what!"

suddenly.

A scream came from ahead.

"It is Inspector Tian."

The familiar voice made Yan Ying's son, Yan Liang, tremble, and his expression changed drastically:

"Something happened to him."

They were just dismissed, and someone got into trouble immediately. Doesn't that mean someone had been secretly watching them all along?
"careful!"

Zhu Ju shouted, and the Ten Directions Sword, which had been nurtured in his dantian, suddenly leaped out, slashing forward like a white light.

"Ding……"

The Ten Directions Sword tumbled and flew back.

The stealthy glint of dark light was also slashed away.

"Who?"

Zhu Ju's expression was solemn, and he waved his hand behind him:

"Return to the manor."

The manor has an array that can withstand attacks from even Dao Foundation cultivators to some extent, but it would be difficult for him to guarantee the safety of so many people outside.

"Yes!"

Yan Liang agreed and hurriedly led his family back.

"Now that we're out, why go back?" A voice echoed through the thickening fog.
"You surnamed Zhu, you'll leave Cloud Whale Island for those Ten Thousand Mountains sooner or later, so why bother meddling in other people's business?"

"It's you!" Yan Lan exclaimed, clearly recognizing the other person from the voice.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, my brother-in-law has treated you well, why..."

"Just casual acquaintances." Fellow Daoist Shi's voice turned cold.
"The Yan family has been in charge of the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce for generations, and their perverse actions have angered the public. I, Shi, am merely ordered to suppress them."

"If you surrender, I can guarantee that I will not kill you out of consideration for our past relationship."

"Shameless!" Yan Lan roared.

"Back when you first came to the island, it was my father who took care of you. Over the years, you've taken advantage of the Yan family quite a bit. Now..."

"Shh!"

Before she could finish speaking, a dark light flashed towards her, and the sharp killing intent made her heart pound wildly.

Although Yan Lan was a Dao Foundation cultivator, he had almost no experience in fighting others and his cultivation level was also insufficient.

Faced with the incoming attack, his mind went completely blank.

"Ding……"

The Ten Directions Sword flashed out and once again blocked the attacking dark light.

"Don't panic, he's also at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm."

Zhu Ju spoke slowly, his voice possessing a calming power that made Yan Lan suddenly calm down.

This is clearly the effect of magic.

"You surnamed Zhu, it seems you're determined to get involved in this matter!" Having his attacks repeatedly thwarted, Fellow Daoist Shi roared in anger.

"it is good!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Shh!"

Several bone-piercing nails shot out with lightning speed, and a top-grade magic weapon, an ebony sword, was mixed in among them, like a cold, venomous snake revealing its fangs.

at the same time.

Several talismans floated out.

Second-tier spirit talisman!

Mystic Ice Explosion!
Strands of cold air, each about the thickness of a thumb, shot out silently, seemingly insignificant, yet leaving traces in the void.

The air was frozen into a strip of ice crystal.

These chilling energies will burst open on the spot when they encounter an obstacle, turning into frozen ice tens of feet long.

Although Dao Foundation cultivators lack the might and domineering aura of Divine Treasure Martial Saints in combat, they possess a variety of techniques and strong destructive power.

Even if their cultivation levels are similar and their magical treasures are comparable, they could still lose their lives on the spot if they were not careful. Zhu Juzi dared not be careless.

"Zheng!"

The Ten Directions Sword rang out with a clang, its light suddenly transforming into ten beams that intertwined to form a net to meet the incoming attack.

Ten Directions Killing Path!
"boom!"

All of a sudden.

The deafening roar continued.

A dark light flashed and a chilling aura burst forth; the mere aftershocks of the collision sent trees flying from both sides.

"Brother Zhu, be careful!"

Yan Lan exclaimed in surprise and suddenly waved her hand.

A small cauldron spun out and flew out, growing into a giant several feet in size as it was lifted by the wind, completely enveloping the area where Zhu Ju was.

Just then, a white line shot out from the mist and crashed into the giant cauldron with a dull thud.

"It's a white phosphorus snake!"

Yan Lan called out:
"It is highly poisonous. Once bitten, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator will surely die without an antidote."

"Thank you." Zhu Ju nodded to her, then casually swung his sword, cutting the white phosphorus snake into several pieces.

Even if Yan Lan doesn't intervene, he'll be fine, but it would be best if he could lend a hand.

I just didn’t expect that…

Defensive artifact!

Yan Lan actually possessed a top-grade defensive magic artifact.

It should be noted that, for magical artifacts of the same grade, defensive magical artifacts are usually several times more expensive than other magical artifacts.

"Miss Lan."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Ju's expression turned solemn:
"Delaying will only make things worse. You protect me, and we'll try to finish this quickly!"

"Huh?" Yan Lan was taken aback, then nodded emphatically:

"it is good."

"Zheng!"

Before she could finish speaking, a piercing sword light suddenly appeared, transforming into ten crisscrossing sword nets that slashed towards the mist.

Its power is terrifying and awe-inspiring!
The overflowing sword intent was like a massive army charging forward, its battle cries shaking the heavens; just one glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

kill!

kill!

kill!

The murderous intent was almost tangible.

The thick fog was torn apart by the sword light, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was suppressed, and the panicked figure inside was revealed.

Is this the sword technique my brother-in-law mentioned?
Truly remarkable!

wrong!

Even if his sword technique is superb, Brother Zhu has not been at the Dao Foundation stage for more than twenty years. How could he possibly unleash such power?

Yan Lan's eyes twitched, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Zhu Ju.

as predicted.

She felt her vital essence and energy being consumed rapidly by Zhu Ju, like dry tinder being burned.

That is why sword techniques have such great power.

"Forbidden Technique!"

Yan Lan covered her mouth and cried out in surprise, her face filled with worry and gratitude.

She never expected that Zhu Ju would be so resolute, willingly resorting to a forbidden technique with severe side effects in order to protect her brother-in-law's descendants.

"what!"

Screams came from the mist.

"Those people surnamed Zhu are just a few ordinary folks. Are they worth you risking your life for?"

"I……"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

With a deafening roar, a dozen dark beads flew out of the mist.

Thunder Pearl!

Yan Lan's pretty face changed slightly.

She instinctively looked behind her.

Yan Liang and the others were staggered and swayed by the effects of the battle, and had not yet returned to the manor.

The Thunder Pearl is incredibly powerful, and with the protection of a top-grade magical artifact, she and Zhu Ju should be fine, but others might not be able to withstand it.

With a gritted clenched tooth, she frantically channeled her inner energy and magical power, and the Qi Cauldron emitted a beam of light that swallowed all the Thunder Pearls into the cauldron.

next moment.

"boom!"

The giant cauldron trembled violently, and lightning burst forth within it, as if a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators were launching a full-scale attack.

"puff!"

Yan Lan suddenly coughed up blood, her spirits waned, and the giant cauldron transformed into a stream of light and shrank back into her dantian.

"Miss Lan." Zhu Ju turned around:
"Are you OK?"

"No." Yan Lan's face was deathly pale, and she gently waved her hand.

"I am fine."

"Then Shi..."

"died?"

Her gaze fell on Zhu Ju's hand, only to see that Shi Daoyou's ebony sword was already in Zhu Ju's grasp.

Even his personal magical artifacts were taken away, so he must be dead.

"Ah."

Zhu Ju nodded:

"I have successfully completed my mission; the man surnamed Shi is already dead."

“Then…” Yan Lan was overjoyed and forced himself to cheer up:
"Let's get out of here."

"It's too late." Zhu Ju shook his head, his gaze fixed on the depths of the thick fog, a grave expression on his face.
"Let's go back first and see how things go."

Someone came over again.

and,

There was more than one person who came this time.

*
*
*
I don’t know when.

The Yunjing Island, which had been sailing in the East China Sea, slowly came to a stop, and a light mist began to permeate the entire island.

The island, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, has once again fallen into chaos, driven by the desires of the people.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"..."

Fangshi.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and even the shop assistants, who had no customers to solicit, came out of the shop and looked into the distance.

Nobody knows exactly what happened.

But vaguely...

There are some speculations.

The rumors that have been flying around lately are not unfounded.

A loud noise came from the center of Cloud Whale Island, followed by the entire island shaking and flashes of various colors of spiritual light.

"It seems like something happened over there?"

"This is the ancestral home of the Yan family!"

"Someone actually made a move against the Yan family?"

"..."

There was constant whispering.

suddenly.

"boom!"

Several fireballs, each about a meter in diameter, fell from the sky and landed on the long street, their explosions engulfing half of the street in flames.

Houses burst into flames, and cultivators who couldn't dodge in time were engulfed by the flames and turned into charred remains in the blink of an eye.

Screams and wails followed immediately.

confusion.

It began to spread.

"escape!"

Someone roared loudly:

"Get out of here!"

The situation is not good.

When chaos erupts on Cloud Whale Island, the market town is the first to be affected.

Some people, too, had shifty eyes, were breathing rapidly, and were looking around at the shops, their hands tightening their grip.

Spirit stones, elixirs, magical artifacts, rare and precious materials...

Buying just one item can make up for ten days or half a month of hard work.

Fight!

When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years!
Once this opportunity is missed, who knows when the next one will come? If you don't take a chance, you'll never achieve anything in your life.

"Peng!"

A shop was smashed open, and several Qi Refining cultivators rushed out carrying large and small bags.

"The Yan family is finished!"

"The market is no longer managed!"

"Everyone, hurry and grab it!"

"..."

The scene fell silent for a moment, then, caught up in the strange atmosphere, countless people rushed toward the various shops.

confusion,

It began to expand.

It's not just the market area.

The Yan family's various strongholds and bases on the island are all under fierce attack.
