Chapter 805 - 331: Invitation from Changkong Hall

White Sand Island lay in ruins after the Demon Beast attack.

But at this moment, most of the Cultivators were wearing joyful expressions.

In this encirclement and island-assault by Demon Beasts, Cultivator casualties were not heavy; instead, the vast majority of the Demon Beasts were killed and left behind.

And now, the Loose Cultivators on the island were quickly picking up the Demon Beast corpses scattered across the ground.

These Tier Three, Tier Four Demon Beasts, and even the corpses of Tier Five Demon Beasts...

For most Cultivators, they were rare materials.

As everyone picked up the materials, their gazes would from time to time turn toward those few figures in the sky.

Everyone understood that if not for that man and that eagle arriving in time, this island would have all but been wiped out.

"I’d only heard people say before that Elder Chu was very strong, but only after seeing him with my own eyes did I know he was this strong.

Those Tier Five, Tier Six Demon Beasts had absolutely no ability to fight back under his hand."

From time to time, a Cultivator would sigh in admiration.

And some younger Cultivators would ask on the side.

"Senior, who is this Elder Chu?"

"You were born late, so naturally you don’t know..."

The glorious deeds of Chu Ning at the mouth of Snow Mist Valley thirty years ago were passed around by word of mouth among the island’s Cultivators.

To be able to, with Same Tier strength, kill a Tier Six Demon Beast and rescue numerous Golden Core Cultivators—such battle power left many young Cultivators clicking their tongues in astonishment.

Quite a few people cast their eyes toward that figure in the sky, all filled with worship at this moment.

"Junior Brother Chu, this time we really have to thank you!"

At this moment in midair, Chu Ning and Chang Lingshan stood suspended, continuing to watch the vicinity of the island to prevent Demon Beasts from launching another attack.

And the look Chang Lingshan gave Chu Ning was full of gratitude.

"You’ve saved us yet again. These Demon Beasts came too fast, and they targeted us very clearly—rushing straight in to attack the Teleportation Array.

We couldn’t even send someone back to pass word, and if it weren’t for you, Junior Brother Chu, arriving in time,

I fear this old bag of bones of mine, along with Fellow Daoist Chen and Fellow Daoist Zhang, would have ended up buried in the maws of Demon Beasts together with the many Cultivators on this island."

Once Chang Lingshan finished speaking, the two Early Stage of Golden Core Cultivators beside him both nodded repeatedly.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Brother Chang, don’t be so polite. I just happened to be passing by."

Chu Ning had come to White Sand Island on a whim, and later ran into that group halfway, which was why he rushed over to support them.

What greatly surprised him was that the one on rotation guarding White Sand Island this time turned out to be an old acquaintance, Chang Lingshan.

Given the current situation, Changkong Hall had arranged for this veteran Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivator, Chang Lingshan, to guard the island with two Early Stage of Golden Core Cultivators.

But this time, there were not only over a dozen Tier Five Demon Beasts, but even four Tier Six Demon Beasts.

With the strength of the three of them, it was simply impossible to resist.

By the time Chu Ning arrived, all three were already injured.

So everyone was filled with gratitude for Chu Ning’s arrival.

At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help asking with some doubt:

"Does this island often suffer Demon Beast sieges? If that’s the case, why doesn’t Changkong Hall assign more Fellow Daoists to come?"

"Not often." Chang Lingshan shook his head.

"Previously, while Demon Beasts did occasionally attack the island, they were mostly small in scale. For Demon Beasts to appear in such numbers like this time, and with Levels this high...

It’s the first time. Before this, where in the Inner Sea were there Tier Six Demon Beasts?"

After listening, Chu Ning nodded. In this Inner Sea, Tier Five and Tier Six Demon Beasts were indeed few.

Previously, when that Li Bailin drove Demon Beasts to appear, they had all been driven over from the Central Sea Region.

To directly find so many Tier Five and Tier Six Demon Beasts within the Inner Sea Region itself was truly not easy.

He really didn’t know how, in this siege on White Sand Island, so many Tier Five and Tier Six Demon Beasts had suddenly popped up.

"Junior Brother Chu, is that the Spirit Beast you used back then to Promote and break through?"

At this moment, Chang Lingshan’s gaze turned to the Golden Thunder Eagle not far away.

Chu Ning nodded. He knew Chang Lingshan was referring to the breakthrough and promotion inside that Ice Island Immortal City Cave Mansion back then.

It was just that at that time, it had actually been Bai Ling breaking through.

The Golden Thunder Eagle had only broken through recently on a sea island.

Chu Ning didn’t want to explain too much and just nodded lightly.

Thinking of the strength this Golden Thunder Eagle had just displayed while slaughtering Demon Beasts, Chang Lingshan couldn’t help praising:

"It truly is extraordinarily magnificent, with solid strength. For a Fellow Daoist to raise such a Spirit Beast, no wonder overseas cultivation is so much more convenient."

Speaking up to this point, Chang Lingshan paused slightly, then continued:

"However, Fellow Daoist, you must still be more cautious overseas lately. I’ve heard that a few more Tier Eight Demon Beasts have appeared recently in the Central Sea Region.

I don’t know if you’ve run into them while overseas?"

"More new Tier Eight Demon Beasts have appeared?" Chu Ning’s heart stirred slightly at these words.

But he shook his head and said, "I just found an uninhabited island and normally stay there in cultivation without going out much, so I haven’t encountered them.

Right, Brother Chang, do you know what Attributes these newly appeared Tier Eight Demon Beasts have, and roughly where they’re distributed?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Lingshan immediately shook his head.

"That I haven’t inquired about."

Chu Ning asked the other few as well, and none of them knew.

"Looks like I can only go ask at Frost Moon Pavilion."

As Chu Ning’s words fell, Chang Lingshan promptly said:

"Junior Brother Chu, the Teleportation Array on this island has already been damaged. If you want to go to Ice Island Immortal City, you’ll have to Flying Escape back."

Just as he said this, Chang Lingshan gave a wry laugh.

"I’m overthinking it. With your Divine Techniques, Junior Brother Chu, you naturally don’t fear any danger."

Speaking to this point, Chang Lingshan paused slightly and said:

"By the way, Junior Brother Chu, when you arrive at Ice Island Immortal City, please help pass a message and ask them to send people over to repair this Teleportation Array.
