Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

"Elder brother, the information regarding Huang Mingyou is accurate."

"Nine Mist Mountain is guarded by only one Qingyuan Sect member at the eighth level of Qi Refining, plus an old immortal at the seventh level of Qi Refining. The rest are only at the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining, and are not worth worrying about."

On an island, a bald, burly man wielding a giant bronze axe spoke to a middle-aged cultivator with a scarred face.

The scarred-faced cultivator had narrow eyes, a hooked nose, and an aura of menace that made people want to keep their distance.

Hearing the bald, burly man's words, he replied coldly, "Since the situation is correct, and we have the treasure given by the Huang family to break the formation, let's directly launch a strong attack on the mountain."

The pale-faced scholar beside him chuckled sinisterly, "Not bad, tonight the three of us brothers will have a good fight."

Upon hearing this, the bald, burly man immediately let out a strange, grating laugh.

The three Hatoyamas each took out a concealment talisman to hide their aura and silently made their way towards Slanting Star Island, preparing to catch their opponent off guard.

Before long, we arrived at the foot of Jiulan Mountain.

Following his pre-arranged plan, the scarred-faced cultivator summoned a high-grade first-tier array-breaking bead and threw it forward with all his might.

"boom!"

A deafening roar swept across the entire mountain, causing the protective array's light barrier to tremble violently, followed by the sound of the array's foundation cracking.

The Nine Mist Mountain Guardian Formation was only a mid-grade first-order mist formation; with just one attack, the formation was on the verge of collapse.

The three Hatoyamas each unleashed their magical weapons, and the formation shattered with a deafening roar.

Such a huge commotion immediately alarmed all the Qingyuan Sect cultivators in the mountains.

Everyone came out of the cave to investigate.

"kill!"

As the smoke and dust cleared, Hatoyama Mitaka, dressed in black robes, unleashed his magical weapon and charged straight towards the mountaintop.

The guards on duty in the mountains had never seen such a ferocious scene before. They all turned pale and fled in terror towards the mountaintop.

"Mitaka Hatoyama!"

Liu Chongchang was the oldest and had the most experience.

He saw the magical artifacts in the hands of the three people and instantly recognized their origins. He hurriedly shouted a warning to the people around him.

"Please follow me into the herb garden!"

Yu Daoxuan also walked out of the bamboo courtyard at this time.

Seeing the situation before him, he decisively led a group of servants and spirit plant growers to retreat to the spirit herb garden.

The medicine garden was equipped with a first-tier mid-grade Earthly Elemental Sealing Array, whose defense was far superior to the mountain-guarding array. It could temporarily hold them off and deplete the three people's mana.

He quickly took out the array jade tablet and activated the array.

In the blink of an eye, a thick, earthy-yellow light shield rose up, resembling an inverted pale yellow bowl, firmly enveloping the entire herb garden.

After completing this step, he set up the Green Wood Dragon Locking Formation, temporarily concealing his intentions.

As Yu Daoxuan watched the three Hatoyama warriors rapidly approaching from below the mountain, he calmly and deliberately pondered a plan to defeat them.

During his time on Slanting Star Island, he had heard of the name Hatoyama Mitaka, who were three rogue cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining who roamed this sea area year-round.

The three men were known for their ruthlessness and cruelty, causing several massacres of entire families in the area.

However, the three of them were always cunning and never provoked any cultivator forces stronger than themselves, which is why they have been able to remain at large.

I never expected that they would have the audacity to storm into Xiexing Island and commit murder.

Upon seeing the three arrive at the herb garden, Yu Daoxuan tentatively asked, "Three fellow Daoists from Jiushan, are you aware that this is an island under the jurisdiction of the Qingyuan Sect?"

"If you leave now, I can decide to suppress today's events, not report them to the sect, and not pursue the matter further."

"Hahaha, are the juniors of the Qingyuan Sect scared?"

"Accept your fate. Blame it on the person you shouldn't have messed with."

Once Hatoyama Mitaka realized that his identity had been exposed, he stopped trying to hide it.

One of them laughed wildly upon hearing Yu Daoxuan's words.

"Hurry up and finish this quickly."

The scarred-faced monk at the head of the group, wielding a Mother-Child Yin Soul Blade, gave orders to the two men on his left and right.

The other two responded and moved.

The bald, burly man wielded his giant bronze axe, while the pale-faced scholar operated a soul-hooking chain, channeling all his magical power into the weapon, and slammed it fiercely against the yellow array shield.

"Fellow disciples, let's all unleash our magic power to stabilize the formation!"

Yu Daoxuan gave a deep command, placing his hands on the array jade tablet and continuously channeling his own magical power to resist the fierce attacks from the outside.

"Everyone, listen to the garrison commander."

Knowing that life and death were hanging by a thread, Liu Chongchang immediately rallied the crowd.

The remaining two spirit plant growers and the handyman disciples knew that once the formation was broken, everyone would be doomed.

Therefore, he dared not hold back and used all his strength to transfer his own magical power into the array base.

Seeing this, the scarred-faced cultivator chuckled and took out another first-grade high-quality array-breaking bead, which he then blasted directly at the array in the medicine garden.

"call out!"

When the Qingyuan Sect members saw the Array-Breaking Pearl shining brightly and rushing towards the great array, they were immediately panicked, feeling that the medicine garden array might not be able to withstand it.

"This group of people really came prepared, they even brought out a first-grade high-quality array-breaking bead."

Yu Daoxuan's gaze was cold and aloof.

First-grade superior-level array-breaking beads are strategic spiritual items, quite rare in the sea areas under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan Sect, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot buy them.

However, Hatoyama Mitaka produced two array-breaking beads in succession, which strongly suggests that someone is behind this.

As his thoughts flashed, the array-breaking bead revealed wisps of yellow spiritual light and crashed onto the array's light shield.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, like the wrath of the heavens, suddenly exploded.

The array-breaking bead slammed into the array's light shield, instantly unleashing a blinding yellow electric light, crackling incessantly, accompanied by intense tremors.

The light from the array's protective barrier flickered, like a candle burning in the wind, causing the entire herb garden to tremble and the trees to sway.

"Bang bang bang!"

As Hatoyama Mitaka's magical artifacts bombarded the area in turn, ripples spread across the outer yellow light shield, and the light grew weaker and weaker.

"Hang in there, everyone!"

Looking at the crumbling array barrier, Liu Chongchang was already prepared to die.

So he sent a telepathic message to Yu Daoxuan: "Guard the formation. Once it is broken, leave immediately and rush back to the sect for reinforcements."

Upon hearing Liu Chongchang's words, Yu Daoxuan turned around and glanced at him, but did not reply.

Seeing Yu Daoxuan's actions, Liu Chongchang assumed that he had agreed, so he no longer held back and poured all his magical power into stabilizing the crumbling formation.

Hatoyama Mitaka's attacks were relentless, crashing into the light barrier time and time again, like a boulder thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

After a full half-incense stick's time of relentless attack, the scarred-faced cultivator saw that the light barrier was now only a thin layer, and his eyes blazed with murderous intent: "The formation is about to break! Second brother, third brother, join forces with me for one last strike!"

"cut!"

The three Hatoyamas attacked together, crashing down on the same spot on the light screen.

"Everyone must use all their magic power!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Chongchang shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, the two spirit plant growers and the handyman disciple felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly exhausted their remaining magical power.

"puff!"

The yellowish-brown light shield cracked layer by layer like a spider web, scattering fragments of light across the sky.

Several menial laborers at the early stage of Qi Refining were severely injured by the backlash from the shattered formation. They all coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Site the garrison, move out of here!"

Liu Chongchang also coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. Seeing Yu Daoxuan standing there motionless, he cried out in despair.

However, they were only three rogue cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Why would Yu Daoxuan abandon them and flee alone?

Seeing that he stood still, Hatoyama Mitaka assumed that he was terrified and immediately burst into a sinister laugh.

"That brat from Qingyuan Sect is a complete waste."

Upon hearing the mockery, Yu Daoxuan smiled coldly, showing no anger.

The reason we used the formation to defend ourselves was twofold: first, to deplete the three people's magical power; and second, to observe the opponent's methods and investigate whether they had any hidden tricks up their sleeves.

Although he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he could kill three rogue cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining as easily as killing chickens and dogs.

Now it's his turn to make a move.
