A Core Formation elder with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face behind him chimed in, "Yes, little beauty, our leader is very chivalrous. Follow us, and we'll guarantee you a life of luxury, much better than being on this wretched island."
Su Chun's eyes turned cold. Ignoring their foul language, she simply said, "The Sky Whale Gang bullies the weak. Aren't they afraid of attracting even more powerful beings?"
"An even more powerful being?"
Wang Jing felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"In this sea area, I am the most powerful. Little beauty, don't push your luck. If you dare to say another word, don't blame me for being impolite."
Su Chun's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Is that so? I'm afraid not."
Just then, something unexpected happened.
"Splash!"
The seawater surged violently, turning the once calm surface into a raging torrent of waves.
The sky seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and the sea wind howled, stirring up huge whirlpools.
"What happened? What's going on?"
The monks on the ship panicked.
A huge shadow appeared on the sea, followed by an island slowly rising. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a massive sea monster.
The enormous sea beast charged straight towards the battlefield; it was at least a late-stage Core Formation sea monster.
The sea monster's enormous body was like a small mountain, covered in hard scales, and its two huge eyes gleamed with a cold light like lanterns.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar erupted, and the sea surged violently, as if to tear the entire surface of the ocean apart.
The cultivators on the ship turned pale with fright, and some of the lower-level cultivators collapsed to the ground.
Zi Fengyang and Liu Rumei were also stunned by this sudden change.
"What... what kind of monster is this?"
"A seventh-tier demonic beast?"
Wang Jing cried out in alarm, wondering how there could be such a powerful monster in the central area.
His face showed panic and confusion, and his previous arrogance was gone.
The elder with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he stammered, "It's...it's the Deep Sea Xuanjia Turtle, a legendary seventh-tier peak demon beast that has lived for over a thousand years. How could it appear here?"
The Deep Sea Xuanjia Turtle is renowned for its defense, possesses immense strength, and is extremely ferocious. It is one of the top predators in this sea area, and even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator would have no choice but to flee for their life if they encountered it.
The deep-sea black-armored turtle was clearly enraged. It slowly raised its massive head, its cold golden pupils sweeping over the Sky Whale Gang's warship with undisguised killing intent.
"Quick! Retreat!"
Wang Jing was terrified and no longer cared about the 500,000 spirit stones or Purple Phoenix Island. Survival was the priority. He even suspected that Purple Phoenix Island might have used some forbidden method to attract them.
The Sky Whale Gang's warships immediately turned around, desperately trying to escape the area.
However, the deep-sea black-armored turtle clearly did not intend to let them go easily.
With a gentle swipe of its massive limbs, its enormous body shot forward like an arrow, its speed rivaling that of the agile warship.
At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a thick column of water like a water dragon, instantly hitting the last warship.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the sturdy warship was shattered instantly by the water column, as if it were made of paper. The cultivators on board screamed and fell into the sea. Before they could react, they were swallowed up by the giant waves stirred up by the Xuanjia Turtle, or devoured by other predators hidden in the waves.
"My ship!"
Wang Jing's eyes were bloodshot, but he dared not linger for a moment. Instead, he urged the warship to flee even faster.
The deep-sea black-shelled turtle doesn't seem to really want to exterminate them, or rather, its main purpose is simply to drive them away.
It let out another deafening roar, its huge tail fin slamming against the sea, creating towering waves that capsized several more people on the remaining two warships of the Sky Whale Gang before ceasing its pursuit.
In the end, he simply watched their disheveled retreating figures with cold eyes until they disappeared from sight.
After doing all this, the giant head of the Deep Sea Black-Armored Turtle slowly turned, its golden pupils seemingly sweeping over Su Chun and the others on the cliff of Purple Phoenix Island. Then, its massive body, like an island sinking into the water, slowly disappeared into the seabed.
The sea quickly returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a nightmare.
On Purple Phoenix Island, everyone was stunned and speechless.
Zi Fengyang and Liu Rumei exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and lingering fear in each other's eyes.
The terrifying aura emanating from that giant beast sent shivers down the spines of even these Core Formation cultivators.
The disciples on the island stared wide-eyed, their faces pale. What they had just witnessed would become an unforgettable memory for them.
Ziyu hid in Liu Rumei's arms, her little hands tightly gripping her mother's clothes, her big eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
After a long while, Zi Fengyang slowly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Chun with awe.
Although he didn't know why this deep-sea armored turtle had suddenly appeared and happened to help them drive away the Sky Whale Gang, he vaguely felt that all of this was probably related to Su Chun.
Chapter 131 Seeking refuge with the Myriad Wonders Sect
"Fellow Daoist Su, what is this?"
Zi Fengyang's voice trembled slightly.
Su Chun's face showed a perfectly measured look of surprise and lingering fear, as if she had been quite frightened herself just now.
"What...what a terrifying monster! I never expected the Heavenly Whale Gang to be so unlucky as to attract such a being...truly...truly a blessing from heaven for my Purple Phoenix Island."
She naturally wouldn't admit that she arranged it.
Yun Chu's existence is her biggest trump card, and she must not reveal it easily.
Liu Rumei also realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, tightly grasping Su Chun's hand, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
"Fellow Daoist Su, no matter what, we owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't insisted on not giving in, we probably would have really succumbed to the Heavenly Whale Gang. This was truly... too dangerous."
Although she also felt that something was amiss, since Su Chun was pretending not to know, it wasn't appropriate for them to continue questioning her.
Su Chun smiled and said modestly, "Sister Liu, you flatter us. The one who truly saved us was that deep-sea Xuanjia Turtle. However, after this battle, the Tianjing Gang suffered heavy losses and should not dare to cause trouble again for a while. We can take this opportunity to think of a solution."
Zi Fengyang nodded repeatedly.
“Fellow Daoist Su is right. Pass down the order that today’s events must not be spread outside. Strengthen vigilance and take stock of the defenses.”
Having experienced this thrilling event, Zi Fengyang's eyes became even more determined.
He knew that only by becoming strong himself could he gain a foothold in this chaotic sea of stars.
Su Chun, this mysterious and powerful guest elder, is undoubtedly the greatest hope for the rise of Purple Phoenix Island.
Su Chun watched the busy figures of Zi Fengyang and his wife, and the expressions of the disciples on the island that changed from fear to relief, and then to fighting spirit, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She quietly touched her clothes and whispered into her ear, "Thank you, senior."
Yun Chu's lazy voice echoed in her mind.
"It's no big deal. That old turtle was quite cooperative, though it had a bad temper. Alright, I'm going to continue hibernating and recovering. Don't bother me unless it's something important."
Su Chun smiled slightly and stopped bothering Yun Chu.
Yun Chu is a Nascent Soul demon cultivator with the body of a dragon and dragon blood, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to force a seventh-order demon beast.
Inside the council hall of Zilu Island, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.
Zi Fengyang sat upright in the main seat, his face gloomy, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest.
Liu Rumei sat to the side, her delicate brows furrowed, her gaze sweeping over the core elders below.
As a guest elder, Su Chun was also invited to attend. She sat quietly at the end of the table, observing everyone's reactions.
"Everyone, although the Tianjing Gang has temporarily retreated, Wang Jing is a vengeful man and will never let this go. Today's events were largely due to luck. We cannot entrust the safety of the entire island to such uncertain luck."
Zi Fengyang broke the silence, his voice hoarse.
An elder with white hair and beard sighed.
“The island lord is absolutely right. The Heavenly Whale Gang is powerful, and for us to fight them head-on is like throwing an egg against a rock. But this Purple Phoenix Island is a place we have cultivated for a hundred years. Are we really going to abandon it?”
"Even if you don't want to, you have to let go!"
Another middle-aged elder, Elder Zhao, who was in charge of island defense, interrupted in a deep voice.
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. If the island is destroyed and everyone dies, everything will be reduced to nothing. For the sake of all the disciples' lives, we must consider a way out."
Silence fell once again in the hall, and everyone's face was filled with struggle and reluctance.
Leaving the home you've built over many years and going to a completely unfamiliar environment carries obvious risks and hardships.
Liu Rumei looked at Su Chun with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you are resourceful and wise. What are your thoughts on this?"
All eyes then turned to Su Chun.
Su Chun pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Elder Zhao is absolutely right. Holding out here is tantamount to waiting for our death. The Sky Whale Gang has suffered such a great loss that they will surely gather more forces to make a comeback. They may even join forces with other forces. Our only way out is to leave this sea area temporarily and find a safer place to stay."
"But the world is so vast, where can we go? The Chaotic Star Sea is so vast, and the forces are so deeply intertwined. Unfamiliar places may not be safer than this place."
The white-haired elder asked with a worried expression.
This is precisely the problem that is causing everyone the most headaches.
In the chaotic Star Sea, the strong prey on the weak. A small force that has lost its foundation is like a rootless duckweed, easily swallowed up by the storm.
Zi Fengyang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
"To be honest, before the Tianjing Gang attacked, I had already foreseen this calamity and secretly contacted some old acquaintances and made some contact with a major sect in the western region of the Chaotic Star Sea, the Myriad Mysteries Sect."
"The Gate of All Wonders?"
Several elders showed surprise upon hearing the name.
Su Chun's heart also stirred.
She had seen records of the Myriad Mysteries Sect in the "Illustrated Records of the Chaotic Star Sea". It was a Nascent Soul level force with a long history. Although it was not the overlord of the Chaotic Star Sea like the Heavenly Star Palace, it was still famous and powerful in the western region, with two Nascent Soul cultivators in charge.
