Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 187 - 156: Nine-headed Turtle Dragon, Merfolk Attack_3

"The Spirit Treasure Method can't be relied upon for now, and while the Secret Demon Sect's Method is quite useful, it lacks the power to conquer,"

"In that case, all that remains is..."

Tao Qian pondered, an image instantly emerging in his mind of the Buddha Bird Relics, which looked like a pill made of nourishing mud after being kneaded thoroughly by his master.

Up to this point, the most rare "treasure" that Tao Qian possessed was this object.

Every time he thought back to his time in Southern Yue, and how he relied on the Buddha Bird Relics to unleash such combat power that even the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva was easily overturned—not to mention Tang Xianzong, who had borrowed the Devil God Origin and, through a moment of carelessness, was suppressed by hundreds of Bird Demons—it was indeed a display of unmatched ferocity.

Now, the Relic had been refined by Human Dao Destiny, purged of its demonic nature, and its power had actually increased rather than decreased.

However, Duobao Daoist also mentioned that to truly make good use of the Relic, Tao Qian still needed to learn some Buddhist Daoist Techniques.

"Well, it is such a rare Immortal Island; subduing it overnight would indeed be a fantasy. Better to think of a plan before taking action."

"Tomorrow I shall first visit the Scripture Hall to get a glimpse of the Spirit Treasure Sect's library."

These thoughts were running through Tao Qian's mind.

Suddenly, the sharp cries of Zhong Doudou, Little Age, and a few others rang out, coming from not too far away.

Along with them came a series of thunderous palpitations, as well as deep, low roars that carried with the sound of the tides.

Tao Qian immediately stood up and went to the window of the main hall on the cliff.

Looking down from above, the first thing that caught Tao Qian's eyes was an extremely terrifying scene:

He saw the surging waves washing over the pitch-black reefs, wildly beating against this cliffside. This great commotion covered the sounds of a Devil Clan's ghostly invasion.

They clearly came from the depths of the sea, humanoid but covered in scales, with gills on their faces and webbed limbs. Their eyeballs were blood-red as they seethed with intense resentment and malice.

They moved with agility, climbing up the cliff like ghosts.

And they began to furiously attack the enchantments surrounding the palace complex.

This sight immediately reminded Tao Qian of the traces he had seen upon his arrival at this place.

Originally, these palatial buildings had been unclaimed for many years, and the Devils had grown accustomed to this.

But now that someone had claimed this place once again, it seemed to stir them into even greater frenzy. Upon seeing Zhong Doudou, Little Age, and a few others, they immediately started to emit sharp roars, which seemed rhythmic, connected into what could almost be considered a song.

However, this song was not pleasant.

On the contrary, it was extremely harsh and even had effects of hypnotism and demonizing others.

In Tao Qian's mind, a Record appeared: "Under attack by the Demon Sound of Mutated Merfolk... Immunity granted!"

As soon as the Record formed, the Mutated Merfolk noticed Tao Qian.

Seeing him in the main hall, all of the Merfolk frenziedly surged in his direction.

"Hiss... Bang!"

The fastest, apparently also the leader—a female Merfolk.

Almost like a ghost, she tried to directly smash through the seemingly empty, yet enchanted-protected window. With a muffled thud, she collided against a layer of suddenly activated blue light enchantment. Tao Qian could even see her body distort and hear the sound of her bones breaking.

But even so, she did not retreat.

With her head covered in blood, she rapidly climbed up from the reef area below, her red eyes filled with hatred glaring at Tao Qian through the air.

Then, word by word, in the clumsy language of the Human Clan, she said:

"Liar... Human Clan, all liars."

Tao Qian had expected a threat or something else.

Who would have thought he would hear such words?

Liars?

I, Master Tao, have just arrived; it's certainly not me.

So does this word actually refer to Xie Lingji, the original owner of Ascending Immortal Island?
