Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 274 Chaos
The ancestral home of the Yan family.

Dozens of people sat cross-legged within the formation, closing their eyes to regulate their breathing and calm their minds.

A gloomy atmosphere permeated the room.

The Yan family, once the leading family of the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce with thousands of members, now only has a few dozen people left in the room to maintain its prestige.

They were all breathing heavily, most of them were injured, and they would cough from time to time, which showed how difficult the situation of the Yan family had been during this period.

"Master of the house."

One person spoke, but their voice was weak:

"This can't go on. The Fang and Sun families have the resources on the island to support them. Even with the help of the formation, there will come a day when we will be the first to give up."

A home cannot be without a head of household for even a day.

Since Yan Weiran failed to break through to the Golden Core stage, Yan Yu became the head of the Yan family in this generation, leading everyone to resist the siege of other families.

"Yes," an old man nodded in agreement.
"The Fang family, the Sun family, the Ouyang family, and the Ghost Tribulation Cultivator from the South China Sea who arrived on the island at some unknown time—they outnumber us and are no match for us."

"Maybe……"

“It’s time to talk to them.”

"Talk?" Yan Yu opened his eyes, his gaze bloodshot.
"You think I don't want to, but they're still determined to destroy their own culture. Talking about it now would only be humiliating them."

"Robbery Cultivator..."

"I never expected that they would invite a traitor to the island!"

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the South China Sea Demon, the Yan family, though at a disadvantage, would still be able to manage.

After fighting for a while, they can negotiate peace with other families.

At worst, we can give up some benefits.

now.

The situation in the Yan family is deteriorating day by day, with no sign of improvement and the hope for negotiations extremely slim.

"At worst, we'll fight them to the death!"

Someone growled:

"Killing one breaks even, killing two makes a profit. With the Yan family's resources, we can easily take on two of their families."

"I'd like to see who comes first to die!"

"Mingdi, don't be impulsive," Yan Nanshuang said, her voice clear and steady as she spoke slowly:
"Master of the house."

"I suggest opening the Ever-Changing Cage Formation; perhaps that will offer a chance to turn things around."

When she spoke, the others looked solemn and showed no disrespect for her because of her lower seniority.

this time.

Yan Nanshuang successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation realm and wielded a flying sword obtained from an unknown source to wreak havoc in all directions.

She mastered the method of forming formations with swords, and could form a formation with just one sword, allowing her to withstand a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator without being defeated.

To know.

Yan Nanshuang is not even a hundred years old yet!
Judging from his current talent and potential, he will surely become the number one expert in the Yan family in due time.

Even the number one expert on Cloud Whale Island.

The next head of the Yan family must be her.

of course.

The premise is that the Yan family can survive this calamity.

"The Ever-Changing Cage Formation?"

Yan Yu, with a complicated expression, explained to the other bewildered clansmen:
"This formation is a variant of a third-order grand formation, mastered only by our Yan family. Once activated, Cloud Whale Island will be divided into ninety-nine separate areas, and each area will constantly change position, so no one knows where it will appear next."

"In this way, we can indeed avoid a joint attack from other families and have the opportunity to break through one by one."

The eyes of everyone in the Yan family lit up.

However, since there are such benefits, yet they are not being utilized, there must be some drawbacks as well.

as predicted.

"but!"

Yan Yu changed the subject, saying:
"Once the Ever-Changing Cage Formation is activated, the other formations on the island will become ineffective, and we will be exposed to other families."

There was silence.

There are advantages and disadvantages to making a choice.

利，
They don't have to suffer attacks from other families.

弊，
With the disappearance of the ancestral home's array, everyone will lose their protection and will have to rely on their own abilities to resist the subsequent attacks. However, most of the Yan family's methods are related to arrays, which will unfortunately become ineffective at that time.

"If it were in the beginning, we shouldn't have activated the Ever-Changing Cage Array, but now... do we even have a choice?"

Yan Nanshuang lowered her eyebrows:

"Yan Ying and the others can bring back less and less. The Ever-Changing Cage Formation is our only chance. At least we still have a chance to send our bloodline descendants out."

The members of the Yan family looked at each other in bewilderment.

…………

Quiet room.

Yan Nanshuang slowly stepped inside.

"Om..."

With a deep thud, two heavy stone doors slowly closed behind her.

"The Ever-Changing Cage Formation?"

"Ah……"

"This day has finally come."

A strange, cold smile appeared on Yan Nanshuang's cool and pretty face, and her whole demeanor suddenly changed.

Gloomy!

Dark!

Profound!

……

There was no sign of human presence.

"Come out!"

As her voice fell, the rocks beneath her feet quietly rose up, and a figure slowly emerged from them.

If any other members of the Yan family were present, they would certainly be astonished.

The person who emerged from the ground was none other than Yan Weiran, the former head of the Yan family, who had disappeared for a long time.

At this moment, Yan Weiran's eyes were glazed over, his skin was stiff, and he had no breath left, like a piece of rotten wood.

Or,

He's a corpse now!
"The opportunity has come."

Yan Nanshuang spoke slowly:
"Cloud Whale Island is about to be divided into ninety-nine areas, and no one will be able to control the situation anymore. It's time for you to make your move."

With a single gesture, a wisp of solidified Yin energy emerged from Yan Weiran's body and was swallowed into her mouth.

"Although the Path of Annihilation and Death cannot be cultivated, the Yin Corpse Qi condensed from it is a top-notch treasure for assisting cultivation."

"Without you providing enough Yin Corpse Qi, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation in such a short time. If I could completely occupy the entire Cloud Whale Island, I might be able to take the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage."

"whee……"

Yan Nanshuang giggled repeatedly, her facial expressions changing constantly, as if she were a completely different person from before.

Fang family.

The change in the formation covering the entire Cloud Whale Island could not be kept secret from the families who also had some control over the formation.

"The Ever-Changing Prison Formation?" Fang Wang, the patriarch of the Fang family, stood on the high platform, gazing at the ever-changing thick fog over Cloud Whale Island, his eyes flashing with spiritual light:

"It seems the Yan family has reached a dead end."

“Excellent!” an elderly cultivator nodded.

"Once the Ever-Changing Cage Formation is activated, formations below the third rank will be unable to be used, and most of the Yan family's methods will become ineffective."

The Yan family built its current foundation on the formation. If the formation fails, the Yan family's strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

The activation of the Ever-Changing Cage Formation indicates that the Yan family has no other choice.

"However, once the formation was changed, Cloud Whale Island was also divided into ninety-nine areas that kept changing positions, and we were unable to launch an attack on the Yan family's combined forces."

"good."

Fang Wang nodded, his eyes narrowing:
"The Yan family's actions suggest they intend to escape Cloud Whale Island, since it's no longer possible to keep them confined to the Yan family's old residence."

"That's fine!" one person said.
"As long as the core members of the Yan family remain, even if the other descendants escape, they will hardly amount to anything."

"That's true, but we still can't be careless," the old monk said.

"I still remember the Zhang family hundreds of years ago, when two of their descendants escaped, cultivated their skills, and returned to successfully avenge themselves."

"We must not let this happen to us!"

"Yes." Fang Wang nodded.
"The formation has been activated, and it will not be easy to leave Cloud Whale Island. Third-tier barrier-breaking talismans or spirit-extinguishing talismans are very valuable, and even the Yan family does not have many. Even if they try to escape, only a few people can get away."

"what!"

The screams echoed from afar.

"what happened?"

The Fang family members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Go over and have a look!"

The screams were not far from where the group was. When they arrived, they saw several zombies rushing towards the group, most of whom were descendants of the Fang family.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

A Dao Foundation cultivator roared loudly, and his flying sword flashed out, severing a walking corpse in two.

Even after being cut into two pieces, the zombie continued to struggle on the ground, not dying completely for a short time, until it was burned to ashes by the raging fire.

The matter was resolved quickly.

However, the Fang family members looked extremely grim.

There was a noticeable pause when the flying sword passed over the walking corpse. Such a physical body is definitely not an ordinary walking corpse; it is probably comparable to a golden-armored corpse.

and.

The bodies of those bitten by the zombies are also undergoing changes.

"Corpse energy!"

"If the corpse energy in the body is not removed in time, people bitten by zombies will also be mutated and attack people around them indiscriminately. As a result, the number of zombies will increase until there are no more living people on the island."

"This is the work of a demonic cultivator!"

…………

Fangshi.

After parting ways with Zhu Ju, Chen Tong and Hu Lishu concealed their identities and sneaked into the market, finding an inn to stay at.

"Just in case, we'll stay here for the time being and not go out."

At the restaurant.

Chen Tong glanced around and sighed:

"Although staying at an inn isn't cheap, at least it's safe. We can talk about other things after the fighting on the island is over."

"Ah."

Hu Lishu nodded.

Her cultivation level has not yet recovered, and she relies entirely on Chen Tong's protection, so naturally she will follow his arrangements.

Neither of them were cultivators who enjoyed fighting, so they naturally went wherever was safest.

"what?"

Just as she was about to pick up some food to taste, Hu Lishu raised an eyebrow and pointed to the street below:
"Brother Chen, what do you think that is?"

Chen Tong turned his head to look.

Several figures could be seen swaying along the street through the thick fog, while passersby quickly moved away.

"what?"

The thick fog obscured the view, making it difficult for even the spiritual eyes of practitioners to see clearly.

next moment.

"what!"

A shrill scream sounded.

A passerby was tackled to the ground by a figure that rushed out of the thick fog, and the figure frantically bit and gnawed at his neck.

More than one person!
Figures emerged from the thick fog, faster than galloping horses and strong enough to easily smash through walls, launching attacks on pedestrians on the road.

"monster!"

"They're zombies!"

Where are the patrolmen in the market?

"..."

For a while.

Chaos broke out on the long street.

Although someone intervened, the walking corpse was extremely strange, with rough skin and incredible strength; ordinary innate Qi cultivators were no match for it.

"Look!"

Hu Lishu exclaimed:
"Look at that corpse!"

The corpse that had just been devoured and drained of its blood by the zombies was now twitching its limbs and swaying as it stood up.

in a blink.

He turned into a walking corpse, just like the one that bit him to death.

"Corpse gas infection!"

Chen Tong's eyes twitched:

"Demonic methods!"

Why haven't the Fang family made a move yet?

At this moment, he was unaware that the entire Cloud Whale Island had already been divided into a series of constantly moving, independent cages.

The Fang family's Foundation Establishment cultivators were not far from this place, but it was not an easy task for them to come over.

As time went on, more and more people were infected by the corpse aura, and more and more zombies appeared.

The entire market was thrown into chaos.

"Shh!"

Chen Tong used his flying sword to kill a charging zombie, and his expression darkened as he glanced around.

"We can't stop them!"

"The corpse gas is infecting us too quickly, and there are more and more zombies. Let's break out of here!"

"Mmm." Hu Lishu's pretty face was pale, and she nodded upon hearing this.
How did Cloud Whale Island become like this?

Yes!

How did Cloud Whale Island become like this?
