e crystals, as big as his palm."Could that be... the Nine Nether Ice Curse Lily"Wang Xuan suddenly spoke."There will be no mistake, this lotus is actually a heaven-defying treasure that has been extin...Boom!

The entire island trembled violently, and the ground cracked open in fissures, from which billowed monstrous demonic energy.

The entire island began to tremble, making it difficult for people to stand.

Wang Xuan blinked in surprise, a mine collapse

It's hard not to feel a little schadenfreude. After all, who can blame anyone for feeling that way when you consider how Wanjianzong treated Mu Qingyue in the past.

However, this demonic aura was somewhat strange. It started weak but increased rapidly to a terrifying level.

The disciples of the Wàn Jiàn Zōng were astonished and didn't know what had happened.

Only then, several elders quickly dashed out of the mine.

"Master, it's bad! There is a huge bloodthirsty bat nest under this island, and..."

One elder cried out anxiously.

Needless to say, the Master of Wanjian Sect and Lady Xiangxian had already released their divine sense power, probing deep into the bottom of the island.

The beautiful and delicate face of Xiao Xiang Fairy turned pale with surprise. Why hadn't she detected the presence at the bottom of the island a few days ago

Even the formidable swordsmanship of Wanjian Sect Master, caused him to be secretly startled, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Hurry! Everyone, board the flying ship!" said Wan Jianzong.

Several elders had already launched a series of white behemoths. The disciples of the Wàn Jiàn Sect, who were bewildered, did not dare to delay and quickly jumped onto the giant boats.

"Let's go!" Xiao Xiangxian grabbed Wang Xuan by the back of his collar, flew onto the black boat floating in mid-air, and immediately urged the boat to fly out towards the island.

Wang Xuan watched the disciples of the Wanjian Sect evacuate from the island, and couldn't help but sigh. His master was indeed worthy of his reputation as a practitioner of evil arts; his escape speed was truly impressive.

Seeing that Xiao Xiang Fairy's face was grim, she urged the black boat to fly away at high speed. Even then, she felt it wasn't fast enough. A pair of jade hands pressed onto the bow of the boat, and she gritted her teeth, pouring all her strength into it.

The way to control a flying boat is similar to sword riding, and the speed of escape is also determined by the amount of primordial force sprayed out.

The Fairy of Xiangxi's jade feet and jade hands were both pouring Yuan power into the black boat. Her solemn expression was as if she was afraid that even a slight delay would result in her demise here.

Wang Xuan wondered what exactly was on the island that would cause both his master and the head of the Wan Jian Sect to retreat in fear

"Hodo's clairvoyance is not enough to see through the bottom of the island."

Wang Xuan thought to himself, sighing softly.

The **Xingdao Tong** is a top-tier ghost-level martial soul, only a hair's breadth away from a king-level one.

But this sliver, the gap is enormous.

If the Eye of the Way is at the king level, it should be comparable to the divine sense of a true Dharma Realm expert.

And now his Dao of Insight is so powerful that he can see through everything, even the robes and protective energy fields of those who use magic.

"

Oh no!

"

Wang Xuan was just thinking when the black boat had already flown eight miles out of the island, but at this moment, Xiao Xiang Fairy's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly controlled the black boat to stop.

At the same time, a gigantic black shadow rose from the seabed, covering the sky and then plunging back into the sea, creating towering waves.

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed. He could see clearly that it was a giant beast claw!

Fortunately, the fairy Xiao Xiang stopped her black boat in time. Otherwise, the mountain-sized beast's claw would have smashed the boat to pieces, and everyone on board would have been killed.

Towering waves crashed, tossing the black boat violently in the air.

What kind of monster is this!

At this moment, white flying boats shot out from the island one after another. All the disciples of Wanjianzong evacuated.

Behind them, from the island's mines, a vast horde of black demons erupted. They were bloodthirsty demon bats the size of dinner plates, their demonic power concealed within.

They took flight in a flurry, three blood-red demonic bats among them, their demonic aura surpassing even the Mountain and Sea Realm!

And next, a beastly roar rose from the bottom of the island. The sound was like that of some great demon awakening, shaking the heavens and earth.

Then, a vast aura emanated from the bottom of the island.

The entire island suddenly rose, and a gigantic turtle appeared before everyone’s eyes. It flapped its four limbs and raised its head to the sky with a deafening roar.

Originally...

The whole island is built on its back!

That is... a Xuanwu beast!!

The Wanjian Sect was mining stone when they drilled into its shell, waking it up.

Compared to the majestic Xuanwu beast, the giant boat seemed incredibly tiny. It was truly awe-inspiring.

With the awakening of the Xuanwu beast, both humans and flying ships, as well as the bloodthirsty vampire bat swarms, remained silent in the sky, daring not to make a sound.

The Xuanwu beast is a sacred and auspicious creature. It will not harm any living being unless provoked.

Four claws stirred, each fall raising towering waves. Amidst the earth-shaking commotion, the Xuanwu beast swam towards the deep sea. Though seemingly slow, it vanished from sight quickly.

Wànjiànzong's master frowned. Historical records mentioned that Xuanwuguo once had a Xuanwu beast, and it turned out to be here.

Several elders' eyes were complex. The stone mine was gone, and worse, the Xuanwu beast representing auspiciousness had left the country!

The Xiao Xiang fairy nodded slightly and let out a soft sigh: "With the auspicious beast gone, I'm afraid the Xuanwu Kingdom is going to face great upheaval."

Wang Xuan showed a puzzled expression.

The fairy of Xiao Xiang explained, "The Xuanwu beast often represents the national fortune of a country. Now that it has left, perhaps it is foreshadowing that the Xuanwu Country is going to perish."

Wang Xuan nodded.

Even in the ancestral world, the Xuanwu beast was an extremely powerful existence, and few were willing to provoke it.

He just now realized that the Xuanwu beast represented one's fortune.

Although Wang Xuan had a vast knowledge base from his previous life, his lifespan was still limited. For over a decade, he mainly focused on alchemy and pharmacology.

There are too many things he doesn't know about.

And he had also heard the Demon Emperor say that there were some continents where extremely powerful beings existed, whose cultivation and combat strength were no weaker than those of the Supreme Beings in the Ancestral Realm!

The world is vast, with countless wonders and strange occurrences. Even after decades, I've only grazed the surface of these marvels.

The Sect Master of the Wanjian Sect, with a cold face, said: "Compared to the Xuanwu beast leaving, we should first deal with the current threat."

As the Xuanwu beast disappeared, the bloodthirsty demon bats in the sky recovered their nature, and pairs of bloody eyes excitedly stared at the human race on the flying boat.

They were previously suppressed by the Xuanwu beast and fell into slumber. Now that they have awakened, they will naturally feast on the essence blood of living beings.

Wow!

A blood-red, large, demonic bat with crimson skin spread its wings and shrieked.

Suddenly, a horde of bloodthirsty demonic bats swarmed the sky, attacking the human cultivators aboard the massive ships.

The Sect Leader of the Wanjian Sect said, "Legion Sword Formation, with all your might defend against the demon horde!"

Hearing the Sect Master's words, the disciples of the Wan Jian Sect, who were initially somewhat panicked, immediately collected their minds and formed small sword formations of ten people on the giant ship.

Wang Xuan nodded slightly. In the previous battles, the disciples of Wanjianzong didn't use sword formations. Otherwise, even if he could win, it would be a difficult fight.

Blades of Qi, each forty meters long, shot out from the sword formations, crisscrossing the void and cutting down hordes of bloodthirsty demon bats. The power of the sword formations was truly formidable.

The Headmaster of Wanjian Sect said: "Fairy, if you allow these beasts to leave, they will endanger the common people of our Wu Nation. I will deal with the two True Dharma Realm demon bats."

"Alright, the third one is given to me."

The two sect masters immediately flew from the giant ship, heading towards the three bloodthirsty demon bats that were comparable to true Dharma realms.eagerly,Wang Xuan's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked at Kong Luo with an air of unconcern. He chuckled arrogantly: "What could possibly happen to me Those bandits were nothing but trash, a bunch o...
