Chapter 247: Aobai was frightened, but it turned out to be a false alarm
It was another morning, the weather was sunny and windy.
At the turn of spring and summer, the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty were full of vitality, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
If it weren't for the refugees seen everywhere and the endless despair in their eyes, the beautiful scenery today would have made countless literati and poets want to recite a poem.
"Chirp..."
A few eagle calls were heard, and two large eagles with black and white feathers flew rapidly from the sky north of Lingshan Island.
They were extremely fast and arrived over Lingshan Island as soon as they appeared.
"Aobai, this must be the Lingshan Island that Yuetuo mentioned."
"After seven days and seven nights of travel, the two of us finally arrived at the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty for the first time."
Manggurtai sat on the back of a Saker Falcon, and the protective qi shield around his body was faintly visible.
He and Aobai did not have any special saddles or magical tools like the one Li Dingguo used when he rode the golden eagle.
Relying on their profound Qi cultivation, the two of them activated a thin Qi shield to protect themselves at all times to prevent themselves from being blown off the bird's back by the strong wind brought by the Saker Falcon's rapid flight.
However, this pair of clan-guarding sacred birds have already awakened their innate magical powers, which are far beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual birds.
When they fly, they can also activate a thin layer of Qi shield to isolate their huge bodies from the violent airflow generated during flight, and even increase their flying speed and reduce physical consumption.
For these two Saker Falcons, which have already reached the peak level of fifth-level spiritual birds, long-distance flights are a piece of cake.
"what?"
Aobai looked at the large island in the sky ahead and suddenly said in surprise, "That's not right!"
"Before we crossed Lingshan Bay, we captured several fishermen living near the sea and interrogated them. We completely locked down the location of Lingshan Island. And this island looks to be Lingshan Island without a doubt."
"The question is, where are those big treasure ships in the bay here?"
"Besides, this is just a large, desolate island! Where do the enemies come from?"
He looked at Lingshan Island in confusion and found that it was different from what he had imagined.
Lingshan Island is now covered by a large five-element sky-covering formation. What they can see is nothing but an illusion disguised by the formation.
As for the real situation inside the formation shield, it cannot be seen from the outside world.
If this most powerful third-grade magic formation that Li Dingguo currently possesses does not even have this function, it is not worthy of being the inheritance of the ancient artifact Human Emperor Cauldron.
Even though Li Dingguo was limited by his own cultivation, his spiritual power was too low and the amount of information he could bear was limited. The inheritance of the Human Emperor Cauldron he had obtained was just some superficial knowledge, and it was not something that a Qi Refining Realm warrior could fathom.
"This……"
Manggurtai looked at the empty sea of Lingshan Bay and was stunned!
He said in confusion, "Could it be that after the raid was successful, the mysterious man called a large number of his men to load all the wealth and supplies onto those large treasure ships and take them away?"
"Now, our long-distance raid, which we came from a distance of millions of miles, has now become a joke!"
"The coastline of the Ming Dynasty is long, with millions of miles of coastline, and tens of thousands of islands along the coast. Do we have to search for them one by one?"
"This is totally unrealistic! If we do this, it will take at least several years to accomplish. How can we afford to waste so much time?"
"damn it!"
In addition to his disappointment, he felt a strong rage in his heart, and he vented his anger by using his Gangqi killing move to launch a fierce attack towards Lingshan Island below!
"Oh!"
However, an even more astonishing scene appeared: his attack, although not earth-shattering, was at least quite loud.
The results of it?
This full-force blow hit the air in front and below, but only made a slight sound, just like a drop in the ocean, without causing any movement at all, and the violent force disappeared without a trace!
"wrong!"
"There's something strange about the space around this Lingshan Island!"
Manggurtai screamed in surprise, "The area around this large island, about ten miles in radius, is covered by a legendary formation!"
"This legendary ancient formation has been recorded in several ancient books in our clan's library. Not only can it protect an area, it can also gather spirits, create illusions, attack, and defend!"
"Everything we see now is simply an illusion disguised by this mysterious formation!"
As one of the two top masters of the Later Jin clan, he is not the kind of person who is ignorant.
In Shengjing City, Huang Taiji even ordered the construction of a large library covering an area of more than ten acres two years ago to store the large number of precious books looted from the Ming Dynasty.
There are a large number of various books among them, covering almost everything. Manggurtai also often reads various ancient books, trying to find a way to break through the sixth level of martial arts and break the bottleneck that has trapped him for many years.
Although he had never found a way to break through, nor had he felt the energy of a breakthrough, Manggurtai gained a lot. At least by reading a large number of ancient books, he learned a lot of ancient legends and greatly broadened his horizons.
Now, he accidentally discovered the great secret of Lingshan Island, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"No way?"
"This mysterious enemy not only has a top-level eagle spirit bird, but can also set up such a large ancient magic array?"
"Can this magic formation that can cover the entire Lingshan Island be set up by a Qi Refining Realm warrior?"
"Mang Gurtai, are we encountering an old monster from a legendary hidden family?" "If...if he is the legendary strong man in the Spirit Refining Realm, how can we defeat him? Isn't this just seeking death?"
Oboi was also shocked and spoke in astonishment.
A strong chill involuntarily emerged from his heart. He, who had always been fearless, just felt cold all over!
According to legend, the mysterious strong men in the realm of spirit refining can no longer be defeated by simply relying on numbers.
You must have the same level of cultivation to be able to deal with it.
During the Ming Dynasty, the only powerful person in the realm of spiritual cultivation was the old immortal Zhang Sanfeng from Mount Wudang.
Although Zhang Sanfeng, the Taoist priest, did not care about worldly affairs, no one dared to cause trouble in Wudang Mountain.
Including the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and the subsequent Ming Dynasty, they did not dare to do so.
The strong ones in the Spirit Refining Realm are called Land Immortals. They are able to cross the void. Once they launch a decapitation operation against the enemies of the secular dynasty, no master in the Qi Refining Realm can withstand their attack, except the emperor of the current dynasty who can use the luck of the emperor to protect himself!
However, more than a thousand years ago, Zhang Sanfeng’s trace and news gradually disappeared from this world, and he has become a legend ever since.
"impossible!"
"That enemy can't be a strong man in the Spirit Refining Realm!"
Manggurtai shook his head and said to Aobai, "Even a level six expert can't do it!"
"Otherwise, he could just bring the big golden eagle and blatantly attack Yue Tuo and his men, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to quickly decapitate them and easily win a victory!"
"Why would he need to rely on the cover of night to carefully plan a surprise attack? Moreover, with the advantage of time and place, he would have allowed more than half of the enemies on the island to successfully jump into the sea and escape?"
"I guess he must be a man of great luck, and he unexpectedly inherited the mantle of an ancient strongman, including the inheritance of ancient formations."
“That’s the only way it makes sense.”
"Otherwise, it is impossible to explain his two consecutive raids. He must have planned and destroyed the Jiexiu Fan family's nest and the pirate forces on Lingshan Island one after another."
Manggurtai was very clear-headed and came to a conclusion after a little thought.
"However, this mysterious enemy is very hostile to our Houjin clan!"
"Looking at the current situation, there is no way he can turn his enemies into friends with us!"
"Therefore, if we cannot eliminate it as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly bring a huge threat to our Houjin clan in the future!"
"His danger level is even higher than those Liaodong border troops of the Ming Dynasty!"
At this point, Manggurtai's eyes flashed with coldness, "We must not allow this mysterious and abnormal enemy to continue to grow, we must nip the danger in the bud!"
"Aobai!"
Manggurtai looked coldly at Aobai who was deep in thought, and said, "What Yuetuo said should be correct. This mysterious enemy with a big golden eagle spirit bird, no matter where he comes from or what trump card he has, his cultivation should be at the early fifth level of martial arts without a doubt."
"Otherwise, with his miraculous, sinister and vicious methods, Yue Tuo, Geng Jingzhong, Geng Zhongming and his son would have no chance of escaping."
"The two of us and this pair of divine birds, the Saker Falcons, are all at the peak of level five. If we use our full strength, it should be possible to break this island protection formation."
"Once we succeed, no matter who this mysterious man is, he will be dead!"
As long as Manggurtai is not stupid, he should understand how big a threat an enemy who has inherited the ancient formation will pose to his side.
Although the opponent is only an early level five expert now, the speed at which this kind of person with great luck grows is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Once he breaks through to the peak of level five or level six, the problem will become serious.
"it is good!"
After Manggurtai finished speaking, Aobai also came back to his senses and said sternly, "Let's communicate with the two divine birds and prepare to attack this island protection formation. Then we will attack immediately and make sure to break this formation and kill the enemy!"
"Since the other party has arranged this island protection formation in advance, he must have known that after he intercepted so many valuables and treasure ships, the three major forces of us, the Ye family of Fuqing, and the white foreigners in Haojing would definitely come to retaliate soon."
"So, this mysterious enemy has self-awareness and knows that he cannot defeat our three major forces. That's why he quickly set up a large island protection formation in the hope of blocking our subsequent revenge actions."
After figuring out the whole story, Abahai immediately put aside all his worries, became eager to fight, and was full of confidence.
The two of them had made up their minds and immediately used their spiritual thoughts to communicate with the two level five peak Saker Falcons sitting down.
"Chirp..."
How could these two Saker Falcons, who have always been proud and arrogant, take a human warrior at the early stage of level five seriously?
Even if the other party has a golden eagle, a spiritual bird with the same cultivation as themselves, they will not be afraid at all.
Wait a minute, I will have to show my supernatural power and kill that golden eagle!
They chirped a few times in a low voice and nodded their big heads to show that they understood.
A moment later, the two men and two birds, the four peak level five masters, each circulated the internal Qi in their bodies and began to prepare for the attack.
"Martial Arts Dharma, come out!"
"boom!"……
Manggurtai and Aobai each rode a Saker Falcon, standing on both sides of the sky and summoning their own martial arts forms.
Without any hesitation, they immediately used their best attack skills, sending out fierce shock waves that continuously bombarded the protective light shield of the island protection formation, and the sound of explosions continued...
