Chapter 287: Chapter 287

“But this is not a long-term plan. If the war continues, sooner or later we will be involved.”

“If the sky falls down, the taller ones will be holding it up. There are seniors here. What are you afraid of?”

“That’s right, but it would be too dangerous for us to stay here if the major troops retreat.”

“Well, the seniors who come to our island seem to have extraordinary background. Mr. Chen Xu seems to have a grandfather in Nascent Soul stage.”

“Why does he come here?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he got bored and came here for fun.”

…

Xiao Xiaofan sat by the lake and cooked fish. These days they had a very fulfilling life. They trained all day, hunted sea beasts, and had good meals.

“I heard that the righteous sects are at war with the demonic sects. Why do you think they fight?” Xiao Xiaofan asked curiously.

Xiao Xiaodong shrugged, “I don’t know. Maybe they are tired of living.”

Chen Xu smiled and said, “They start the war for profits.”

Lei Xuan scratched his head and said, “As we stay here, we don’t know what is happening outside.”

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Lei Xuan and said, “We are just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, and we can’t influence the overall situation. Just wait here.”

“Is it thundering?” Xiao Xiaofan looked at the storm clouds gathering in the sky and asked.

Chen Xu looked at the clouds and said, “No. Your father is advancing to Golden Core.”

Xiao Xiaofan was surprised. “Father is going to be a Golden Core?”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yeah.” Chen Xu had known about Xiao Jinting’s strength long ago. He knew that Xiao Jinting was a perfect Foundation Establishment cultivator when he was in the secret realm. He was not surprised to see Xiao Jinting advance to Golden Core.

“Father is awesome!” Xiao Xiaofan said.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yeah. Your father is amazing.”

Chen Xu noticed that the array that they had set up earlier was lifted up. The array that they had spent a lot of effort to build could not only defend but also disguise. Under the cover of this array, the people outside the island would think it was thundering on the island.

Xiao Jinting had been in seclusion for a while, and now he was working up all his spiritual power, and the wandering spiritual Qi in his meridians turned into streams of spiritual liquid. A gold core slowly took shape in Xiao Jinting’s sea of consciousness.

Many lightning bolts hit the sky above Xiao Jinting’s cave. Xiao Xiaojin covered his ears at the sight and hid behind Xiao Xiaodong.

“Is Father all right?” Xiao Xiaojin asked worriedly.

Xiao Xiaodong said indifferently, “He’ll be fine.” He knew well how good his father was.

Bang! A fire attack landed above the array.

“Defend.” Xu Muan shouted.

Xiao Xiaodong quickly stood up and said, “Someone had come here.”

Chen Xu looked at the red-hair man in the sky and said, “It is Red Fire Monster from the Burning Flame Sect. He is from the demonic sects.”

They gathered together quickly.

“Red Fire Monster, why are you here?” Chen Xu asked.

The red-hair man looked at Chen Xu and chuckled. “I heard that several young geniuses of Green Cloud Immortal sect, as well as Chen Lifeng’s precious grandson, are all on this island. I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I came over to check. I didn’t expect the rumors to be true.”

The red-hair man’s eyes were shining, as if he had taken a huge advantage.

“What do you want?” Chen Xu frowned.

The monster looked at Chen Xu and smiled. “I heard that your grandfather adores you! I wonder how many treasures I can trade you with your grandfather. Mr. Chen, you don’t take good care of yourself and come to such a place.”

It kept thundering. The red-hair man glanced at the direction of Xiao Jinting’s cave and said, “I didn’t expect that someone is forming core here. I guess he is from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect as well. Let me deal with you in one go.”

Red Fire Monster was an advanced Golden Core, and he was not afraid of a new Golden Core. However, he would not let this cultivator to grow.

“Explode,” Xu Muan said.

Upon his order, Xiao Xiaodong and the others were assigned to the positions of the array and launched the attack.

Thunder beads emerged from the array and blasted towards the Red Fire Monster.

Xu Muan spent such a long time setting up the array to precaution against the arrival of a Golden Core cultivator. He was confident that this formation could hold a Golden Core back for a month or two, but he didn’t expect an advanced Golden Core would come.

Xu Muan buried hundreds of Thunder Flame Walnuts in the array, and they all exploded.

Red Fire Monster didn’t take the array seriously, but he knew how powerful it was after he was attacked.

He shouted curses angrily. Although a Gold Core cultivator was strong, the power of the Thunder Flame Walnuts was extraordinary.

Red Fire Monster glanced at Lei Xuan and Xiao Xiaofan before he finally fixed his eyes on Chen Xu.

He came to kill Lei Xuan and Xiao Xiaofan, who would pose threats to the demonic sects if they grew up. As for Chen Xu, he would be a good bargaining chip for controlling Chen Lifeng.

Red Fire Monster looked at Chen Xu, who was close to him, and he wanted to pull Chen Xu over.

Xiao Xiaodong frowned. Chen Xu felt uneasy under the gaze of Red Fire Monster.
