Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 351 Horror! A Transformed Yin Spirit!
"Roar!"

The two Yin Spirit Beast Kings screamed in agony as they were directly defeated by Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang.

As the yin energy dissipated, the dim and lifeless magical artifact, the Yin Soul Banner, fell from the sky.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing their magic weapon destroyed, the two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators were instantly enraged.

In the blink of an eye, two of the six Yin Spirit Beast Kings were lost, greatly boosting the morale of the cultivators of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

With Lin Chang'an joining the battle, he and Fairy Ni Chang worked together, one using a divine soul attack and the other unleashing an incomparably sharp sword aura.

In a short time, they managed to overwhelm the two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators who were proficient in combined attack techniques.

During this time, four more Yin Spirit Beast Kings came to help, but they were still unable to defeat them.

With the combined efforts of Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang, along with the Green Horned Ox, they managed to stop the four Yin Spirit Beast Kings that suddenly appeared, as well as the two strongest Core Formation cultivators.

The morale of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was greatly boosted.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's eliminate these four troublesome Yin spirits first!"

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Fairy Ni Chang coldly shouted, and with her lips slightly parted, she spat out a fiery red bead-shaped magical artifact.

Driven by magical power, this magical artifact transformed directly into a fire dragon.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an cooperated by wielding the Sun Piercing Divine Sword, which unleashed a burst of golden light and pierced towards the two Core Formation cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists, it's time to prepare for your journey."

Lin Chang'an's calm voice echoed, as he naturally did not want to reveal his strength in front of outsiders.

However, relying on his own sword aura and with the cooperation of the Green Horned Ox, it shouldn't be too difficult to hold off two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

"Roar!"

Just then, the pitiful screams of the Yin Spirit Beast King came from behind. Under the raging fire dragon, there was still elemental advantage in the face of absolute power.

The four Yin Spirit Beast Kings were severely injured by Fairy Ni Chang's fire dragon.

"Damn bastards!"

Unexpectedly, amidst the screams of the Yin Spirit Beast King, the group of cultivators revealed their fury and began a reckless and frenzied counterattack.

This caused the cultivators of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to be suppressed for a time.

"Something feels off!"

After the Yin Spirit Beast King was severely injured, the two Core Formation cultivators in front of him also had ferocious expressions and attacked recklessly.

This gave Lin Chang'an a bad feeling.

"hateful!"

However, the situation now seems to be very favorable. After Fairy Ni Chang severely injured the four Yin Spirit Beast Kings, she suddenly turned around and joined forces with Lin Chang'an.

Even though the two Core Formation cultivators before them had a decent combined attack technique, they were already in a precarious situation.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Core Formation cultivator from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce shouted:
"Fellow Daoists, do not panic! Fairy Ni Chang and Fellow Daoist Lin have already suppressed the thieving cultivator!"

Sure enough, after the Sihai Chamber of Commerce's cold rebuke, the reluctance in everyone's eyes began to fade.

Although the sudden, frenzied fighting style of this group of cultivators caused some panic for a moment, high-level combat power ultimately determined everything.

Once the late-stage Core Formation Fairy in Rainbow Robes finishes her battle, this campaign to eliminate the traitorous cultivators can come to an end.

"Haha, you bunch of thieving cultivators, how dare you plunder our Four Seas Merchant Guild's merchant ships! You're simply courting death!"

The Core Formation cultivator surnamed Liang from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, seeing victory in sight, couldn't help but angrily rebuke the group.

It was this group of bandits who caused them so much loss. Even if they manage to recover the goods, they won't make much money just by hiring so many people.

The late-stage Core Formation Fairy Ni Chang and the mid-grade third-tier array master Lin Chang'an—these two alone accounted for 80% of the hiring price.

The battle went exceptionally smoothly, leaving Liang and Zhu, two Core Formation cultivators from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, with a vague sense of regret.

Too expensive! If we had known this would happen, we would have hired one less person, and they could have made some profit. This time, they've lost everything.

In the midst of the chaos, the tide began to turn, and many cultivators from the Four Seas Merchant Guild were already showing signs of victory.

Despite this dire situation, not a single one of these cultivators fled, nor did any of them panic.

Many people immediately sensed that something was amiss.

The group of cultivators opposite, despite being at a disadvantage, all revealed strange smiles, a sight that made everyone feel that something was amiss.

"Everyone, be careful."

However, before the sound had even faded, a series of screams suddenly came from behind.

"It's you!"

"Are you two insane? You actually colluded with a cultivator who has undergone tribulation!"

This sudden and dramatic change shocked everyone.

It turned out that the two Core Formation cultivators who lost their spirit ship had betrayed them at this critical moment.

"Haha, the fish is hooked."

The situation on the scene was changing rapidly, leaving everyone breathless. Liang and Zhu, the two Core Formation cultivators from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, were filled with disbelief.

They never expected that these two would betray them.

They're not independent cultivators, so why would they disregard the fate of their families?

"You two..."

The unassuming female cultivator from the Long family, who had only recently reached the Core Formation stage, looked back in disbelief. Her chest had been pierced, and her body was being held high in the air.

She truly didn't expect that even though she had been so careful, she would still be ambushed.

However, these two cultivators, both at the early stage of Core Formation, wore strange smiles on their faces.

Seeing the female cultivator in front of him still trying to resist, with a soft "pfft," a sharp claw pierced through her abdomen.

A dark palm slowly opened, revealing the golden core that she had cultivated for over a hundred years.

"Hehe, after fishing for so long, it's time to enjoy the catch."

The two of them made a sound at the same time in a bizarre way, under the frightened gazes of everyone.

One person swallowed the golden core of the female cultivator from the Long family and chewed it directly in his mouth with a crunching sound, while the other person took a big gulp.

The essence and blood of this female cultivator from the Long family, including her hazy primordial spirit, were actually devoured by the other party.

"Hehe, the primordial spirit and golden core of this Core Formation insect are truly rare tonics..."

A harsh, shrill laugh suddenly rang out, and the situation changed in an instant.

Just then, a loud booming sound came from afar.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Ox roared, and a powerful magical shield, illuminated by a surge of earthy yellow light, blocked all attacks.

This allowed Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang to work together perfectly.

The sword beams from both sides, attacking from the left and right, pinned the two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators to the cliff face.

The fairy in flowing robes, holding a jade sword, coldly watched the sudden change in the distance.

It was precisely because of this dramatic change that Fairy Ni Chang and Lin Chang'an were able to quickly end their battle.

……

"The Fairy of Rainbow Skirts!"

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

This sudden and drastic change caused the cultivators of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to arrive in panic.

Lin Chang'an also stared at the two strange figures with a solemn expression, his bad premonition growing stronger.

"Who exactly are you two?!"

"Everyone be careful, something's wrong with the cultivators here!"

As Lin Chang'an coldly shouted, everyone noticed that the cultivators opposite them all had extremely strange expressions.

"Who are you!"

At this moment, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce glared at the other party, feeling that this was a trap.

But I still don't understand what benefit there is in setting this trap for them.
"Heh heh, not bad, quite a few fish have come this time. Although they are just the primordial spirits of some Core Formation cultivators, they can still be considered decent nourishment." The two traitorous Core Formation cultivators spoke at the same time, uttering strange and unpleasant sounds.

The surrounding cultivators, like puppets, surrounded them with expressionless faces.

"You devour primordial spirit and golden core, what kind of evil creature are you?!"

Liang and Zhu of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce were even more shocked and furious. The favorable situation had suddenly changed, and this time they would not be able to get their goods back. Wouldn't they suffer huge losses?

"Evil creatures? Heh heh, what an ugly face you human cultivators have!"

Suddenly, the two Core Formation cultivators revealed resentful eyes, followed by a surge of black Yin energy.

An ugly, black-haired old man suddenly materialized in front of the two, while the two men's life essence was drained and turned into dust in the wind.

"No! Run away!"

The moment this aura suddenly appeared from within, Lin Chang'an's expression changed drastically; this aura was all too familiar!
It is the Yin Spirit Beast King of the Ghostly Soul Sect Island.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chang'an unleashed several third-tier fire dragon talismans. Several fire dragons roared and charged directly at the opponent, while he quickly flew backward.

The others did not hesitate at all, and each released their trump card for self-defense.

"It's the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King from Yin Soul Island!"

It wasn't just Lin Chang'an who discovered it; years ago, when the Bihai Palace exposed the Yin Spirit Beast King's scheme within the Ghost Realm, many cultivators had also experienced this eerie aura.

None of the people present wanted to fight back.

"You surnamed Zhu! Has your Four Seas Chamber of Commerce gone mad, actually provoking this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King!"

While fleeing, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but curse. He had actually encountered such an opponent for such a small reward. He had lost out big time!

Liang and Zhu from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, upon sensing this aura, had already lost all color in their faces.

At this moment, the two were even more on the verge of tears. How could they dare to provoke such trouble?

"Heh heh, you little insects, do you think you can escape!"

Amidst the terrifying flames behind them, a piercing, hoarse laugh echoed. The next moment, the island's yin energy erupted, transforming into ferocious black snakes that attacked.

"No!"

"Spare your life!"

"Fight them!"

This black serpent of yin energy moved with incredible speed. Any cultivator who was entangled by it let out a painful scream as their essence, blood, and primordial spirit were completely devoured.

The death was extremely gruesome, and in the end, it was as if the spirit had vanished without a trace.

"This Yin Spirit King has actually refined all the Yin energy of this island!"

In an instant, the entire island resembled a ghostly realm, filled with yin energy, and the group of cultivators transformed into black yin snakes, using strange escape techniques to pursue them.

"Don't be scared by this old ghost! His true form is still trapped on Yin Soul Island, and this old ghost's aura is only at the Core Formation stage."

"If we split up and escape, we still have a chance!"

Faced with this terrifying turn of events, the two members of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce gritted their teeth and shouted, "Now we can only pray for our own good fortune!"

From the sudden defection and the fall of the female cultivator from the Long family who had reached the Core Formation stage, to the appearance of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, it all happened in the blink of an eye, though it's a long story.

But that was enough to leave all the cultivators speechless.

Even the Fairy of Rainbow Robes' beautiful eyes revealed an expression of disbelief!

That sounds nice, like it's not the real thing, but even if it isn't, how could they possibly deal with it?

They're not fools; if they tried to fight back, they'd definitely die a gruesome death.

If everyone flees in all directions, then let fate decide! Among them, the fastest to escape are the few Core Formation cultivators.

"Run away!"

One after another, the most treasured talismans were unleashed, creating deafening explosions on the deserted island.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives; the flaws of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are now glaringly obvious.

When things are going well, everyone is united and determined; but when danger comes, they run away faster than anyone else.

"You shameless bastard surnamed Liang!"

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry. If I manage to escape, your clansmen will certainly not be mistreated by my Liang family!"

During their escape, the ugliness of human nature was exposed when faced with a terrifying attack from a black snake.

Liang, a Core Formation cultivator from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, struggled and then launched a sneak attack on another Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator from the same chamber of commerce.

It doesn't matter how fast he escapes, as long as someone is slower than him.

"Come on!"

Lin Chang'an's face turned extremely ugly, and he and Fairy Ni Chang transformed into a beam of light and fled.

Although they were the strongest among them, they also faced the most attacks.

"Sihai Chamber of Commerce, how dare you!"

Just as the two were fleeing, a golden light struck, heading straight for them.

This made Fairy Ni Chang shout angrily, but how could the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce feel guilty?

However, the next moment, the Fairy of Rainbow Clothes suddenly conjured seven streaks of light, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell whether one was real or fake.

"Run! They're coming!"

Amidst the screams behind him, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, like a cat toying with mice, revealed a mocking smile as he watched the group of rats flee.

"You can't escape."

The spirits were known for their ability to escape, and in an instant they began to pursue them.

As she fled at top speed, Fairy Ni Chang was drenched in cold sweat. Looking back at Lin Chang'an, who had fallen behind her, she gritted her teeth.

She did all this for the sake of the sect!

Lin Chang'an, who was lagging behind, sensed that the other party's magical power only increased after absorbing each cultivator, which made him look thoughtful.

He himself seemed to have been intimidated at first. If the other party really had that ability, they would have easily wiped them out long ago.

Moreover, falling behind doesn't necessarily mean being in the most danger, since the other side doesn't want to leave any survivors.

The faster he runs, the more attention he attracts, and that's when he gets a chance.

Who knows what other arrangements might be in store ahead!
However, just as Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered and he pretended to be attacked and forced to flee, a flash of purple spiritual light severed the black snake formed from the black energy.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, my Fire Element Pearl magic weapon can self-destruct and we can escape together!"

With a solemn expression, Fairy Ni Chang spat out a Fire Pearl, which instantly unleashed a terrifying fire dragon.

Just then, the vast ocean in front of them seemed to boil, with countless yin spirits emerging from the seabed and directly tearing and attacking the cultivators in front of them.

"No!"

"Ghost disaster!"

The screams in the distance, however, gave Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang an opportunity.

This group of evil spirits appears numerous, but in reality, only a few have reached the third rank.

The person in front was trapped, which also attracted the strongest of these evil spirits.

"go!"

Lin Chang'an did not hesitate at all, and before leaving, he did not forget to take Fairy Ni Chang with him.

After all, the other person did not run away alone, so he naturally remembered this kindness.

"Moo!"

Suddenly transforming into a ten-zhang-tall beast, the Green Horned Bull roared and spewed out a beam of light from its mouth.

In an instant, the horde of Yin spirit beasts that had been intercepting them from afar, as well as the giant snake formed from black mist, all turned to stone.

Immediately following the savage charge of the Green Horned Bull, it smashed a huge gap in the obstruction in its path.

The fairy in colorful robes, who witnessed this scene from the cow's back, was even more shocked.

"A mutated spirit beast!"

　Ahem, please vote for me next month!
