Chapter 4253
Just as Su Tianshuo was enduring a beating, an urgent bell suddenly rang out from outside, its sound echoing urgently across the entire island!
The fighting stopped abruptly as everyone strained to listen to what was happening outside!
Trapped by the formation, they found their divine senses unable to extend beyond their immediate surroundings!
“What’s going on out there? It sounds serious!”
A pharmacist inquired anxiously!
“Could it be an attack on the island? We need to eliminate these brutes from the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect!”
Another pill master chimed in!
At that moment, hatred filled the air; they all wished for the downfall of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect so they could be saved!
“Don’t be foolish. We’re far away from the mainland; who would come here to assault the Zhentian Dharma Sect? We need to focus on our own escape!”
Bao Longxing sighed heavily, filled with regret for teaming up with the foolish Su Tianshuo!
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Zhan Tian Dharma Sect, Feng Xing frowned deeply and asked, “What’s going on? Why is someone ringing the bell?”
“Elder Feng, an unidentified spirit boat is approaching the island, so we rang the defense bell. With the Patriarch and the two Elders absent, we dare not investigate!”
A deacon from the Zhentian Dharma Sect reported to Feng Xing!
Though Feng Xing was not a member of the Zhan Tian Dharma Sect, his status was higher than that of the deacon, allowing him to sit alongside the elders in authority!
“Could it be Sect Leader Mu’s spirit boat? How could any other vessel be approaching?”
“Take me to see what’s happening…”
Feng Xing instructed the deacon to lead him to the seashore!
As they arrived, the entire island was bathed in a colorful glow, and a group of disciples from the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect stood in a tight formation on the beach.
In the distance, a spirit boat sped toward the island.
The vessel appeared worn and battered, not resembling a ship from the Sky-Splitting Dharma Sect, prompting the activation of the defense formation!
Feng Xing reached the seashore and stared at the rapidly approaching spirit boat, his brow knitting tighter!
“What a shabby spirit boat; how did it end up here?”
Feng Xing was puzzled; this location was far removed from the mainland, making the appearance of such a damaged vessel inexplicable.
As the spirit boat drew closer, Feng Xing’s frown deepened!
It soon became clear that Kai and the others were aboard the tattered craft!
This revelation made Feng Xing uneasy; he had thought Kai and his companions perished in the storm vortex, yet they had somehow made it here!
Noting the dilapidated state of the spirit boat, Feng Xing surmised that Kai and the others must have endured significant hardships along the way!
“These are the pill masters I mentioned earlier; I didn’t expect them to survive and find their way here!”
“We must act quickly; we cannot allow them to reach the island!”
Feng Xing urged the deacon!
The deacon, taken aback, realized that Elder Liu and Mu Qiufeng had gone out searching for these individuals, not anticipating their arrival at the base camp!
“Quickly, unleash the poisonous insects; we cannot let them dock…”
The deacon exclaimed urgently!
Shortly thereafter, hundreds of black poisonous insects buzzed out from a central forest on the island!
One particular insect, adorned with light golden veins, directed the swarm toward Kai and their spirit boat!
“Fellow Daoist Chen, look! What’s happening?”
Chen Wenliang spotted the poisonous insects in the air and exclaimed!
“We’ve been discovered; those must be the poisonous insects released by the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect!”
Kai frowned as he observed the swarm of black insects approaching!
“Poisonous insects, you say? There’s no need to worry; I believe the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect has forgotten who we are. We’re pharmacists, and we have no reason to fear poisonous insects!”
Chen Wenliang responded confidently!
After all, if they were afraid of a few poisonous insects, they would be the subject of ridicule!
