Chapter 328: Chapter 194: Changing Times, Planning for Core Formation (3)

The group didn’t think much and left the island.

Who would have thought, just a few days after they left.

At night, Jade Spirit Island was attacked.

The Island Protection Array, though they weren’t there, would activate naturally with the Array Tower Barrier.

However, the array barrier under the care of that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Fang was directly left open.

It was clear that he was in collusion with the Lu Family. Knowing they were off the island, he contacted the Wang and Lu families to launch a sneak attack.

"Bad news, the Lu Family has returned with a vengeance!"

"The Ping, Feng, and Li families, you treacherous dogs, the Lu Family has returned!"

"Fang, you actually colluded with the Lu Family, you despicable scoundrel!"

"Friend Ping, don’t blame me. Madam Lu offered me what I wanted, and you three families forced the Lu Family out back then. Today is just a cycle of karma."

That night, cries of battle echoed across Jade Spirit Island as the Ping, Feng, and Li families fought back fiercely in rage.

Yet this time, the Lu Family came with flames of revenge and an alliance with the Wang Family.

Additionally, many from within the three families were left as hidden pieces planted by the Lu Family, causing miserable cries to resonate incessantly.

"Quick, run!"

"Grandfather! No..."

"Ping’er, listen, remember tonight’s blood debt. In the future, you must avenge the family!"

"Hurry, go outside and find your Uncle Feng. The Feng Family is not yet extinguished!"

Lin Chang’an, Old Hu, and the Wen couple had no idea that their departure was followed by such upheaval on the island.

...

Five Dragons Island.

"Under the influence of the Beast Tide, Tier Two Demon Beast materials are still acceptable; otherwise, it would be a huge loss."

Lin Chang’an looked at the Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, feeling gratified.

This time he didn’t disguise himself, given the circumstances of the Beast Tide, having some loot for a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was completely normal.

Not having any gains would be abnormal.

"Mr. Lin, something has happened!"

Just as Lin Chang’an was purchasing cultivation materials on the market street, he suddenly received a voice transmission from the Wen couple, filled with urgency.

Eventually, the Wen couple agreed to meet them at an inn.

When Lin Chang’an and Old Hu arrived, they saw the Wen couple and a beautiful woman at the table, her complexion showing weariness.

"Mr. Lin, there’s been an incident on Jade Spirit Island, the Lu Family has overrun the three families."

"Damn it, that Fang claims to have had some cultivation insight, it’s all nonsense; it’s obvious he colluded with the Lu Family."

As soon as he entered, Lin Chang’an heard the anxious voice transmission from the Wen couple, with Madam Wen clearly infuriated.

"Four friends, excuse us for showing you a spectacle. Those three families were originally taken in by my Lu Family, but as it turns out, the rabid dogs attempted to bite the hand that fed them.

Previously, I knew those families took materials from the four of you, which have now gone missing; this is also on my Lu Family, for which I sincerely apologize."

After Lin Chang’an and Old Hu sat down, seeing everyone was present, Patriarch Lu took out a Spirit Stone Bag with a smile on his face.

"This is compensation from my Lu Family. I hope the four of you can forgive us."

Upon opening the Spirit Stone Bag, Lin Chang’an felt his heart tighten.

"Old Lin, this portion of Spirit Stones is more than worth our goods."

Old Hu secretly transmitted, while Lin Chang’an hesitated, also guessing the other party’s intentions.

Indeed, observing the four’s covert vigilant expressions, Patriarch Lu seemed unfazed, softly smiling and nodding, expressing his Lu Family’s lack of ulterior motives, merely wanting peaceful cultivation.

Having reclaimed their foundation, the Lu Family also suffered losses, with only five Foundation Establishment cultivators remaining, two of whom were seriously injured.

"Patriarch Lu, you jest. We merely wish for a peaceful cultivation."

Lin Chang’an said with a smile, though he dared not underestimate Patriarch Lu.

Similarly, the other party feared them because, among them, Old Hu was late-stage Foundation Establishment, and both the Wen couple and him were mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

If the Lu Family pushed it too far, the four of them together could challenge the Lu Family without much issue.

Immediately after reclaiming Jade Spirit Island, Patriarch Lu came straight to Five Dragons Island, with the intention of turning hostility into peace.
