279: Chapter 279 Unfamiliar Foundation Building

Just as Chen Licheng and the others were preparing to head back, a disheveled figure came running wildly from a dozen or so miles away; if not for the commotion being too loud, they wouldn't have noticed it.

"That is?" One of them asked in puzzlement.

"Let's go." Chen Licheng hurriedly reminded them.

His cultivation wasn't high, and he couldn't tell much, but his intuition told him that the person in front of them was definitely not simple, and the other party seemed to be dodging something, with a direction that happened to pass right by their place.

Furthermore, being able to come here alone from who knows where, the other party's cultivation must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Therefore, no matter which situation it was, it wasn't something they could face.

Yu Hongqi also sensed something and hurriedly followed behind Chen Licheng to leave together. The other few people were somewhat dazed, but they didn't dare to hesitate either.

"Hmm?"

A dozen miles away, that purple-robed young man also noticed Chen Licheng and the others.

Although his Divine Sense couldn't reach them, on the surface of the sea, he could completely see a few black dots.

Finding it somewhat strange, he hurriedly headed in their direction. Along the way, the fresh blood on his body drifted and scattered with the wind.

Not good!

Chen Licheng was the first to notice the unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Cultivator speeding toward their direction, and he hurriedly warned: "Run quickly."

Prompted by his shout, the other few people looked at the black dots in the distance and also sensed something was wrong.

Not daring to delay even a bit, they hurried toward the direction of Sihai Island.

Hmph!

So they were merely a few Qi Refining Cultivators.

That purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator sneered and continued to pursue the direction of the few people's flight. He needed to use these few people to figure out where this place was.

Chen Licheng and the others seized the time, and in the rear, that unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Cultivator was getting closer and closer to them, now at a distance of less than a few miles.

"Fellow little friends, why are you running? I merely wish to inquire about some matters." From the rear, the voice of that Foundation Establishment Cultivator came over.

"What instructions does Senior have?" Hearing this, Chen Licheng and the others knew in their hearts that they could no longer run away, so they simply stopped to see what the other party intended to do.

Seeing that they had finally stopped, the purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator wore a smile and asked: "Fellow little friends, may I ask where this place is?"

"Senior, could it be that you are not from around here?" Yu Hongqi asked with puzzlement.

"Hmm?" The purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator stared at him.

"Apologies, Senior. It was my fault; I shouldn't have pried into your affairs." Feeling the other party's chill, panic appeared on Yu Hongqi's face as he hurriedly apologized.

"No matter."

"Senior, this is the territory of the Han Country. As for the sea area here, it belongs to the domain of Jiayi Sect. The islands of Jiayi Sect are not far from here; Senior can head to the nearest island to inquire about the situation." Chen Licheng informed the other party of Jiayi Sect's location.

Firstly, it was mainly to deter the other party, making the other party hesitate out of fear, and not dare to make a move against them.

Secondly, he didn't dare to reveal his own background. The other party was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of goodness knows what tier, while Chen Lixuan had just achieved Foundation Establishment. If the other party were to come looking for them, he worried that Chen Lixuan wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, just because he had this thought didn't mean the others had the same thought. After all, they weren't people of the Chen Family to begin with. If invoking Chen Lixuan could save their lives, they would completely and directly tell the other party the direction of Sihai Island.

The purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked into each person's eyes. The eyes of two of them kept glancing toward a certain place, and thus he knew that Chen Licheng was lying.

Instantly shouting sternly: "Little friend, could it be that you think I am easy to deceive? This place is not Jiayi Sect's territory at all."

Feeling the Foundation Establishment aura radiating from the other party, looks of fear flashed in the eyes of Chen Licheng and the others.

"Senior?"

Puff!

Chen Licheng still wanted to say something, but that purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator casually waved a hand and obliterated him.

Before his death, Chen Licheng looked at the purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator with unwillingness. As his body fell into the Wuwang Sea, the rest of the people felt even more terror and dread in their hearts.

They hadn't expected this Foundation Establishment Senior to be so ruthless and decisive; merely sensing a trace of deception, he casually obliterated a person.

"Speak quickly, where is this place?" The purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked coldly at the few people.

In the end, in order to survive, someone directly blurted out the situation here.

The purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator's gaze flickered continuously. Sihai Island?

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had just stepped into Foundation Establishment?

Since that was the case, he would go take a look first. If there were good treasures, he might as well just loot them directly.

Thinking of this, he looked at the remaining few people, and a Flying Sword emerged from his Storage Pouch.

Seeing the other party's Flying Sword, Yu Hongqi and the others fled in all directions for a moment. They could tell that the unfamiliar Foundation Establishment in front of them wanted to kill them.

Swish!

Puff, puff, puff!

In just a short while, a few more corpses were added to the surface of the sea.

...

Chen Lixuan put away the transmission talisman and hurriedly walked out from his Immortal Cave. Just moments ago, Chen Licheng had transmitted his predicament over, and immediately afterward, there was no further news.

Therefore, he was somewhat anxious right now.

"Sixth Brother, nothing must happen to you!"

Just as he had just left the Immortal Cave, he sensed an aura, and his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"Activate the Formation." Chen Lixuan's voice spread across the entire island.

All the Qi Refining Cultivators were startled, not knowing what act Chen Lixuan was putting on, but they still acted according to his instructions.

"A Medium Grade Tier 2 Formation?" The purple-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator was startled in his heart, but with a second thought, a sneer appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect that merely fleeing here, I could actually have such an Opportunity. Truly, the heavens do not wish for my death."

To him, an island that could be guarded by a Medium Grade Tier 2 Formation must surely have quite a few resources.

Chen Lixuan looked at the newcomer with a solemn expression. The Purple-robed man's aura was far stronger than his; perhaps he hadn't reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, but he was close.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come to my Sihai Island, what is the matter?" Chen Lixuan spoke indifferently.

The Qi Refining Cultivators on the island all looked toward the other party. When the Purple-robed man was no more than a mile away from the island, everyone discovered this uninvited guest.

"Hehe! Obediently dismantle the Formation and hand over all the resources on the island, and I can spare you all, leaving you with your lives." The Purple-robed man laughed.

"Hmph, if Fellow Daoist wants to openly plunder, then let's see if you have this capability! Raise the Formation!" Chen Lixuan rebuked angrily.

Following his order, the Formation completely spun into action.

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for turning hostile and showing no mercy." The Purple-robed man made his move. A purple Flying Sword burst forth into the sky, and billowing thunder slashed toward the Formation along with the Flying Sword.

Boom!

The Medium Grade Tier 2 Yiyuan Heavy Water Array formed ripples, completely dispersing the other party's attack.

The Purple-robed man's gaze condensed, his hands formed hand seals, and the aura of the purple Flying Sword abruptly surged, continuing to bombard the Yiyuan Heavy Water Array.

Inside the Formation, dozens of Qi Refining Cultivators simultaneously poured their magic power into the Formation Plate. Combined with the spiritual power of the Low Grade Tier 2 Spiritual Vein, the Yiyuan Heavy Water Array was indestructible, repeatedly blocking the other party's attacks.

Seeing this, the Purple-robed man slapped his Storage Pouch, and a new Magical Artifact appeared from within—a double-bladed axe.

With both a sword and an axe striking simultaneously, this time, the Formation began to show fluctuations.

The Yiyuan Heavy Water Array was not weak, but its weakness was also very obvious: it was unable to completely block attacks from two directions. If defensive strength were measured by a single direction alone, even a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn't break it in a short time. However, once it exceeded two directions, while one direction remained indestructible, the other direction became the weakest point of defense.

The other party had spotted precisely this point.
