Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 265 Showing Power
"Om..."

A flash of inspiration.

The formation within the manor has been activated.

The formation set up here is obviously much better than the one provided free of charge by the Chamber of Commerce, which puts people at ease.

"Great-aunt."

A child grabbed Yan Lan's clothes and asked with concern:
Are you alright?

"Yu Yu, be good, your auntie is alright." Yan Lan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and gently rubbed the child's head.
“Go, go to your mother’s side, we will all be fine.”

After comforting the child, she looked at Zhu Ju.

Brother Zhu, how are you?

"It's nothing." Zhu Ju understood what she meant and smiled faintly.
"Although forbidden techniques have side effects, I haven't used them for long enough to have any impact yet."

Actually.

Because it's connected to the spirit, it has no effect whatsoever.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Yan Lan felt relieved and asked:
"What do we do next?"

"What should we do?" Zhu Ju looked up. He was sharp-eared and had keen senses. Even though the fog obscured his vision, he could still hear the noises coming from afar.

Subtle but ubiquitous noises!
"I never imagined that Cloud Whale Island would be in such chaos."

"Now that we've already made our move, the others won't be satisfied until the Yan family falls. We still need to find a new place to hide."

"But..." Yan Lan's face showed bitterness:
"Can we still get out?"

Outside the manor.

The fog was filled with shadowy figures, and it was impossible to tell how many people were hiding there. At least two Foundation Establishment cultivators were spying on this place.

If they go out, they will surely face a fierce attack.

Zhu Ju touched his chin.

He has plenty of skills; even if he's outmatched, he can easily break through. The key is that there are other people around.

Especially the children, whose bodies are delicate, could be killed by the aftershocks of a magical battle.

"Everyone."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Ju shouted towards the outside:

"Why should we outsiders meddle in the internal disputes of the chamber of commerce?"

"There are only a few descendants of my senior brother Zhu here. They are not even qualified to go to the Yan family's ancestral home. They are just collateral relatives. Could you please be kind enough to give us a way out? We will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

"Heh..." A cold laugh came from within the mist:
"The Yan family has been in charge of the Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years, which has long aroused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. It is imperative to take action against the Yan family."

"As for Yan Ying's descendants..."

"Since he has changed his surname to Yan, then there's no need to talk about outsiders!"

“That’s right,” another person chimed in.
"The descendants of the Yan family obtained the resources of the Yan family, so they naturally encroached on the benefits of others and cannot be said to be innocent."

"We cannot rest easy until the Yan family is destroyed."

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you have protected the descendants of Yan Ying for the sake of all your fellow disciples. Your righteous actions are admirable. We will not stop you from leaving, but if you insist on being our enemy, then do not blame us for being ruthless!"

"What?" Zhu Ju's face darkened.
"Is it really necessary to fight to the death?"

"Even if the fish die, the net may not break," another person said slowly.
"You really think you can get away with it by hiding inside?"

"It's Pan Si." The familiar voice caused Yan Lan's expression to change drastically, and fear appeared in her eyes:

“A guest elder of the Sun family, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

It's him!

Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

There are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators on Cloud Whale Island, but the vast majority are at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and there are far fewer at the mid Foundation Establishment stage.

Every cultivator at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm has a considerable reputation, so he naturally knew about it.

"found it!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a joyful shout came from outside.

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, several streams of light descended from the sky and entered the array protecting the manor, causing spiritual light to ripple.

"not good!"

Yan Lan's expression changed:
"They have formation masters!"

Zhu Juxin's heart sank, and he sighed helplessly, then took something out of his storage bag and held it in his palm.

"Don't panic."

"After we save the child, we'll cast amulets and lightness charms on everyone and then leave this place."

"Brother Zhu." Yan Lan looked surprised.
"But……"

"I'll handle this." Zhu Ju stepped forward, threw out the item in his hand, and his true essence surged forth.

"Buzz!"

A glimmer of light flickered.

Talisman!

Three Yang Divine Fire Talisman!
The wooden talisman stood in mid-air, with a three-headed fire dragon depicted on it spiraling out, lifelike and uttering a low murmur.

"This is..." Yan Lan covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open:

"talisman!"

In some ways, talismans are even rarer than magic weapons.

After all, the materials used to refine talismans can be used to refine magic weapons, and magic weapons can be used indefinitely, while talismans can only be used a few times.

Moreover, although talismans are powerful, they are still far inferior to magic weapons.

Unless it is for the protection of younger generations, very few high-level cultivators would specifically refine talismans.

Unexpected,
Zhu Ju actually possessed a talisman!
"Crack!"

The protective array around the manor cracked, and visible cracks appeared above them.

"Peng!"

With a muffled thud, the formation shattered.

"it is good!"

"Do it!"

The cultivators in the mist outside the courtyard were overjoyed, their voices filled with various spiritual lights, but as they cast their spells, their hearts suddenly sank.

It felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on my heart.

what happened?

"boom!"

Three lifelike fire dragons, each over ten feet long, burst forth from the manor, circled in the air once, and swallowed all the incoming attacks.

Talismans, magical artifacts, spells...

Without exception!

"talisman!"

Someone screamed in alarm:

"Run away!"

late!

Zhu Ju activated the Three Yang Divine Fire Talisman with all his might, and the three fire dragons crashed into the mist, rushing towards the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Wherever it went, nothing escaped its burning.

With just a flick of its tail, the fire dragon turned any Qi Refiner it passed into flames, instantly reducing them to ashes.

"boom!"

Flames shot into the sky, reaching a height of hundreds of feet, engulfing the surrounding area like a sea of ​​fire, with the rocks at the core turning into lava.

Of the three streams of energy, two disappeared instantly.

The power of the talisman is in no way inferior to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator going all out.

"Watch them."

Zhu Ju gave a low shout, put away his talisman, and flashed out:
"I'll come as soon as I go."

With a physical body comparable to the second level of Body Refinement, the burst of power was almost as fast as the speed of controlling a flying sword.

In a few flashes, they appeared in front of Pan Si.

As a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he withstood the attack of the talismanic treasure without dying, though his aura weakened considerably. A shattered shield lay on the ground, presumably the item that helped him neutralize most of the talismanic treasure's power.

"Damn it!"

"My fish-scale shield!"

Pan Sigang gritted his teeth, his face full of anger, and his gaze shifted to Zhu Ju, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"How dare you show your face in front of me?"

"go to hell!"

Two cold beams, one black and one white, slashed out, revealing the power of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder.

Sword Qi and Thunderous Sound?

Do not!
impossible!
If the other party had mastered this divine ability, they would be able to contend with someone in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and their reputation would not be so small.

Zhu Ju quickly thought of something and reached out with his left hand.

Ok?
Pan Si raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

To actually attempt to resist his own Yin-Yang Flying Sword with his bare hands is simply courting death.

"Shh!"

Five-colored divine light descended.

The two flying swords paused slightly, then slashed out again, seemingly unaffected by the five-colored divine light.

The Five-Colored Divine Light restrains things of the Five Elements, but it does not restrain all things under heaven. The sudden change startled Zhu Ju.

However, he quickly regained his senses and transformed his palm into a claw to meet the attack.

The five-colored divine light could not be suppressed, but the mutated left hand, as a 'magic weapon', was inherently indestructible.

"when……"

The flying sword collided with his left hand, producing a piercing sound. Zhu Ju clenched his fist and grabbed the flying sword.

what?
Pan Si was startled upon seeing this.

Before he could make a move, Zhu Ju had already rushed forward and slashed diagonally with one hand, as if it were a knife.

Immortal Demon Slayer!
Wild slashes!

"Shh!"

"Swish!"

Hundreds of afterimages appeared out of thin air.

Pan Si's body shone brightly with spiritual light, shattering all protective spells and talismans, leaving him powerless to resist.

He was already severely injured, and his magic weapon, which he had painstakingly crafted, was taken away. Once the body-refining cultivator got close, his fate was sealed.

"Peng!"

A powerful hand strike landed on him.

Finished!

"puff!"

Bloody gashes appeared on his body. Zhu Ju's figure blurred as he swept past his opponent, and the Ten Directions Sword leaped out and swept across the surroundings.

Several figures hiding in the mist were successively killed.

Immediately afterwards, the sword intent soared into the sky.

Zhu Ju grabbed Pan Si's corpse and threw it into the air. He then used his flying sword to slash repeatedly, dismembering the body and scattering the pieces in all directions.

"Pan Si is dead. Let's see who dares to make a move now."

By unleashing their talismanic treasures, two of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators died and one was seriously injured, swiftly and decisively eliminating the formidable foe.

With such imposing power, it immediately intimidated the entire audience.

"..."

There was silence.

Immediately, various rustling sounds arose, and the lucky survivors scattered and fled like rabbits.

Among them was even a hidden Dao Foundation cultivator.

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow, knowing that now was not the time to wipe them out completely, and quickly packed up the spoils and returned.

At the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Lan, who was protecting a group of people and on high alert, was overjoyed to see Zhu Ju return.

"Brother Zhu!"

"Senior Zhu!"

"Let's go!" Zhu Ju waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

We need to get out of here right away.

He has a stronghold in the market, but the market is certainly not safe now. However, one of the three Dao Foundation cultivators he killed this time is a loner, and his residence is not far from Zhu Ju's manor.

It's just the right place to hide.

Soon after.

The group avoided being seen and arrived at a cave dwelling. Zhu Ju took out a token and waved it in front of him.

"Om..."

A flash of light appeared, and the cave's restrictions opened a crack.

"Go in."

After everyone had gone inside and confirmed that no one was around, Zhu Ju entered the cave and closed the barrier.

"The owner here is named Rui Cao, a Dao Foundation cultivator with a rather eccentric personality who never associates with others."

"The island is so chaotic, no one should come to bother us."

After inspecting the cave dwelling, Zhu Ju spoke:
"You can stay here for now. I have some things to take care of, but don't worry, we're not far apart. I can come over as soon as there's any trouble."

“…Yes.” Although Yan Lan was reluctant, she could only nod.

"Brother Zhu, be careful."

residence.

Zhu Ju looked at his manor with a gloomy expression.

Everything seemed normal, but the various chaotic smells indicated that many people had come in during the time he was away.

His expression grew even more unpleasant as he scanned the area with his divine sense.

He left many things here, but they have all disappeared now, especially the most crucial array plate.

Because the formation needs to be adjusted frequently, the formation plate cannot be kept in the storage bag all the time.

Even though I had a spare, how could I not feel heartbroken to have something I had put so much effort into stolen?
"Little thief!"

"Don't let me catch you!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Ju shook his hand to absorb the lingering aura in the area. Just as he was about to close the courtyard gate, a commotion not far away made him pause.

"Sister Hu".

Yu Lou, reeking of alcohol, emerged from the Drunken Taoist's courtyard and patted Hu Lishu on the shoulder:

"Tell your brother if anything happens. I'll protect you."

"belch……"

He let out a burp, his gaze swept over where Zhu Ju was, his expression froze for a moment, then he scratched his head and turned to leave.

Fish basket?

When did he get together with Hu Lishu?
Zhu Ju frowned slightly.

The Drunken Taoist had just married Hu Lishu and hadn't returned for a while, yet this had happened?
The two of them were being far too intimate just now.

"Zhu... Fellow Daoist Zhu."

Hu Lishu looked embarrassed.
"You're back."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju nodded expressionlessly.

“Um…” Hu Lishu began awkwardly:
"It's not what you think."

"Never mind." Zhu Ju closed the courtyard gate.
"You should explain it to the Drunken Taoist."

"Brother Lai is dead." Hu Lishu's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs.
"he died!"

"It's only because Brother Lai is gone that Yu Lou dares to come here to try and take advantage of me."

Ok?
Zhu Ju's expression changed.
