Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

The person greeting Jiang Fan was the second disciple of Red Whale Island, Fan Hairong. As for the senior brother Cao Rui, he was busy handling other matters since the war had just ended and there were many things to sort out, leaving him too busy to welcome Jiang Fan.

”Fellow Daoist Fan, you’re too kind.”

”It was just a sneak attack, catching them off guard.”

”If it were a frontal battle, I wouldn’t have been a match for those three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators.”

Jiang Fan humbly said.

After all, no one saw his battle with those three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators, so he could naturally fabricate his story.

This way, at least other cultivators wouldn’t overestimate his strength too much.

”A sneak attack is also a skill.”

”Even other Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to launch a sneak attack can’t achieve this.”

”Fellow Daoist Jiang is truly modest.”

Fan Hairong laughed heartily, regardless of whether this young fellow launched a sneak attack or fought head-on, having such an achievement alone was enough to prove his formidable battle power.

This is good news for the developing Red Whale Island.

After all, with such a strong ally, everything will be easier to handle in the future.

”By the way, where are the other honored guest elders? Why haven’t I seen them around?”

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

He hadn’t found any other guest elders nearby.

”Sigh, don’t even mention them.”

”These guys, when they heard that Red Whale Island was being attacked by Sea Snake Island, fled in fear.”

”They didn’t even want to defend the island, trying to leave this sea region.”

”But they didn’t end well either.”

”When they left, they actually ran into Sea Snake Island’s encirclement.”

”As a result, these people were captured and executed on the spot.”

Fan Hairong said gleefully.

Evidently, for now, Red Whale Island only had Jiang Fan, the sole honored guest elder left.

The other five guest elders basically perished in this battle.

”Dead?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan blinked, undoubtedly validating a message from the Fortune-Telling Talisman.

If he had chosen to leave Fire Copper Island back then, he would have likely followed the same path as those guest elders.

He would surely have run into Sea Snake Island’s powerful forces.

Clearly, the other side had set up a net in this sea region.

The aim was to intercept all of Red Whale Island’s cultivators with no room for failure.

No matter where these guest elders ran, they inevitably would have come across it, making it a life-or-death situation.

So staying on the island he guarded was actually the safest choice.

Unfortunately, these guest elders didn’t understand this, choosing instead a path leading to their doom.

Sometimes, making the wrong choice can trap one in a death tribulation, where one’s life and cultivation extinguish.

This is the cruel nature of the Cultivation Realm, where danger lurks at every step and progress is precarious.

”However, I heard this time Sea Serpent Daoist brought two Golden Core Zhenren over.”

”I wonder how our Red Whale Island managed to defeat them?”

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

He did not hide his curiosity, since not only him, any cultivator hearing this news would feel immensely curious and want to know what happened.

Because up until now, Red Whale Island had only Red Whale Daoist, a single Golden Core.

”Haha, there’s no need to keep this a secret.”

”I guess this news will soon spread across the Yiling Island Group.”

”At first, we thought we were doomed.”

”After all, with three Golden Core Zhenren attacking, even if the master was powerful, he likely couldn’t withstand it.”

”But surprisingly, the master had a trump card, his daughter Yu Ruolin. She turned out to be a Golden Core Zhenren as well, and her strength was no less than the master’s, perhaps even stronger.”

”So the two Golden Core Zhenren joined forces and ended up killing Sea Serpent Daoist and the other Golden Core Zhenren.”

”Even when Sea Serpent Daoist and the others tried to flee, they didn’t have time to escape and ended up dead.”

Fan Hairong said proudly, feeling delighted.

After all, such an outcome was like a reversal of fortunes.

Initially thinking Red Whale Island was about to be destroyed, who would have thought it ended up achieving a great victory?

It is truly unimaginable.

”The Island Master’s daughter?”

”And a Golden Core Zhenren, even stronger than the Island Master?”

”Why hadn’t I heard about her before?”
