122: Jiang Family Visitors

“But you’ve already arrived late!”

After casually burning these communication talismans, Gu Chang immediately stood up and, with a single command, summoned all his Spirit Pets!

“You few, go directly into the Formation and ambush them. Remember, anyone who dares to trespass onto the Spirit Island is to be killed without mercy!”

He said this to the Iron Skin Giant Ape, White Wolf King, and his other Spirit Pets. Over the past few days, Gu Chang had specifically taught them how to utilize the power of Formations in combat.

“Roar!!!”

“Woo woo woo!”

Hearing Gu Chang’s words, these creatures immediately cried out excitedly. As exotic beasts, no matter how docile they appeared, their bones still retained a cruel ferocity.

“Since guests have arrived, we must give them a proper welcome!”

Gu Chang had no intention of hiding and playing dead against these Cultivation Family members. No matter what, he had to declare his sovereignty over this Spirit Island to them.

He had to make them understand that any force attempting to covet this island would have to pay an extremely painful price!

“Chirp~”

The Golden Winged Giant Eagle was the fastest, flying directly into the Minor Geng Metal Formation to set up an ambush. The other exotic beast Spirit Pets were a bit slower, but they also quickly entered hidden positions within various Formations to lie in wait.

The seven exotic beast Spirit Pets were, in essence, equivalent to seven Qi Refinement Middle Stage and Late Stage thugs. With the assistance and cover of the Formations, the role they could play was absolutely immense!

Subsequently, Gu Chang stepped into the air, walking directly towards the sky!

At this moment, his gaze had pierced through the concealment of the Spirit Island’s mist, seeing the Floating Warship in the sky outside. However, even facing such a large-scale war Magical Artifact, Gu Chang’s heart showed no ripple.

He simply walked out of the mist step by step with an incredibly firm stride, finally arriving above the entire Spirit Island.

Surrounding mist filled the air, and a gentle breeze stirred his robes, making him appear like an immortal being!

“Who are you, comers? This Spirit Island is my place of cultivation!”

Then, Gu Chang’s gaze swept directly towards the Jiang family Cultivators not far away and the distant Floating Warship. At the same time, his Aura burst forth, and a gigantic phantom appeared behind him.

When he spoke, his voice instantly resonated like thunder, allowing the several Cultivators on the outskirts of the island and the Floating Warship not far away to hear him.

“Who is this?”

“Why have I never seen him before?”

“This Spirit Island is actually occupied by him?”

“Damn it! Why didn’t we know this before?”

“Who is this person?”

“…”

When these Cultivators saw Gu Chang, they immediately began to communicate with each other. They also felt a tremendous sense of pressure facing the Aura Gu Chang had proactively released.

Many Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators immediately felt uneasy, because the person in front of them clearly wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

They weren’t Jiang family members, so naturally, they weren’t willing to fight to the death with such a person.

Only the Jiang family members, upon seeing Gu Chang, still harbored accumulating anger, but when they felt that terrifying oppressive Aura, they inevitably felt a little nervous.

“Fellow Daoist, this Daoist is Jiang Jianxin. May I ask who Fellow Daoist is?”

Seeing the wavering morale and the opponent’s impressive Aura, the Jiang family Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, who was stationed on the Floating Warship, slowly rose into the air and loudly questioned Gu Chang.

“This one is Gu Chang, merely a Loose Cultivator!”

“You’ve created such a huge commotion at my Immortal Cave. Are you perhaps trying to seize my Spirit Island?”

Gu Chang chose not to hide his identity this time. This place was, after all, far from the Cloud Firmament Palace’s sphere of influence, and no one knew him. Since he had decided to establish roots here, it was naturally best to declare sovereignty with his true identity!

“…”

Hearing Gu Chang’s questioning, Jiang Jianxin immediately fell silent, undoubtedly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

On the surface, the Gu Chang in front of him only had a Qi Refining sixth level cultivation, but the oppressive Aura he exuded far surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, yet it was also clearly very different from Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

This made Jiang Jianxin suddenly unsure of Gu Chang’s true strength.

Was the opponent skilled and therefore bold? Or was he putting on an act to deliberately appear strong?

And his own strength had already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, which was not weak in Jiangchuan Ze. Coupled with the Floating Warship below him and over a hundred Qi Refining level Cultivators, he would dare to fight even against a Foundation Establishment Late Stage enemy.

After all, if he didn’t have such confidence, he wouldn’t have come to seek trouble with those two fierce birds.

“Fellow Daoist is unaware, but this time, our Eight Great Families of Jiangchuan Ze are jointly targeting the Yao Race’s Spirit Island. This Spirit Island was originally an island designated by our Jiang family, but we didn’t expect it to be occupied by Fellow Daoist now. This makes our Jiang family…”

However, after some deliberation, Jiang Jianxin ultimately chose not to act directly, but instead wanted to probe Gu Chang further.

“Heh? What does your Eight Great Families’ decision have to do with this one?”

“This Spirit Island was taken by this one, so it naturally belongs to this one. As for you, you should return whence you came!”

However, Gu Chang would not give him a pleasant look, directly retorting with a cold laugh. In this situation, he would not give the other party any good face.

“Hmph! It seems Fellow Daoist prefers a toast to a forfeit?”

Jiang Jianxin’s expression instantly turned incredibly gloomy upon hearing this. As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from one of Jiangchuan Ze’s Eight Great Families, he had always been accustomed to being high and mighty, yet he never expected to be ridiculed by a Loose Cultivator here.

“Hehe, indeed, you Cultivation Families are all like this; if soft approaches don’t work, you resort to force!”

“Today, this one would like to taste the flavor of this forfeit!”

“But let me warn you beforehand, as long as you dare to act, this one will surely make you experience a taste worse than death!”

Gu Chang had intended to kill a group of Cultivators to establish his prestige, so at this moment, he didn’t care about their threats. Instead, he issued his own threat to them.

“You’re asking for death! Taking advantage of our Eight Great Families and still daring to insult us like this!”

“Attack! Kill!”

“Take this island for me!”

“Go! Everyone attack!”

“Destroy the Formations on the island for me!”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, not only Jiang Jianxin was enraged, but the other Cultivators of the Jiang family were also furious. Almost simultaneously, they launched attacks towards Gu Chang and the Spirit Island.

“Rumble!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

“Bang bang bang!”

“…”

The next moment, overwhelming attacks directly fell towards Gu Chang and the Spirit Island. Streaks of Magical Artifact spiritual light directly streaked across, constantly exploding outside the Formation, causing the Spirit Island’s grand Formation to immediately begin to counterattack.

“Old villain, you are seeking death!”

At the same time, Gu Chang’s reaction speed was even faster. He instantly transformed into the Martial Dao Divine Paragon state. With a flap of his four wings, he instantly became a humanoid storm, closing in on Jiang Jianxin’s position in an instant.

“Clang!”

“Rumble!”

As an experienced Foundation Establishment grand Cultivator, Jiang Jianxin’s reaction was also swift. In an instant, his spiritual artifact flying sword flew out directly, carrying a vast Sword Qi that tore through the heavens and earth, striking towards Gu Chang.

Undoubtedly, the strength of a Cultivator undergoes a qualitative leap with each major Realm!

And this leap is not just in one’s own strength; higher-level Cultivation Techniques, more powerful Magic Treasures, more trump card Spells, and so on, all contribute to one’s foundation!

This causes the gap between Cultivators of higher Realms and those of lower Realms to become increasingly large!

In fact, this was Gu Chang’s first true battle against a Foundation Establishment grand Cultivator, but his current strength was no longer that of the minor figure he once was!

“Whoosh! Boom! Bang!”

In just an instant, the incredibly fast spiritual artifact flying sword struck Gu Chang’s Martial Dao Divine Paragon.

The power contained within this Flying Sword was undeniably strong, with terrifying Geng Metal Sword Qi tearing through everything like a long rainbow piercing the sun.
