CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 212: SUCCESSFULLY CROSSING THE TRIBULATION, DISASTER NEVER BEFALLS

"Even Golden Core Zhenren are becoming Tribulation Cultivators now?"

"Since when did things get this desperate?"

"Has everyone’s shamelessness reached this level?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, it’s rare for a Golden Core Zhenren to become a Tribulation Cultivator.

It’s not because Golden Core Zhenren have high morals, but because the returns are too low.

After all, they can receive numerous benefits even without stepping out of their homes.

As rulers of a faction, they can collect a large amount of spirit stones every year.

Why would they bother becoming a Tribulation Cultivator?

It’s like an emperor owning vast territories and endless wealth, why would he need to become a roadside robber?

Of course, this isn’t impossible.

If the other party possesses treasures tempting enough for a Golden Core Zhenren, they might take action personally.

The problem is that while the current auction has indeed featured many treasures,

none were so tempting that any Golden Core Zhenren would drool over them.

"Local Golden Core Zhenren most likely wouldn’t stoop so low."

"But if it’s an outlander Golden Core Zhenren, that’s a possibility."

Jiang Fan immediately thought of a second possibility, which was the outlander Golden Core Zhenren.

Since those outlander Golden Core Zhenren have unclear backgrounds, if they come to the Yiling Island Group without much money, they might make a deal without any capital.

After all, everyone knows the Yiling Secret Realm has just ended, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators have become quite wealthy.

It’s not impossible for outlander Golden Core Zhenren to come and make a profit.

"This is truly an unprovoked disaster, being targeted by Tribulation Cultivators."

"But luckily there’s a Fortune-Telling Talisman to warn us, otherwise, we might have fallen for it."

"Since we can’t leave at noon, we’ll wait until dusk."

Jiang Fan’s eyes gleamed, making an immediate decision.

Clearly, the timing is crucial.

If we leave at noon, it would be a life-and-death tribulation, almost certain death.

But if we leave at dusk, there’s a chance for good fortune and great luck.

He felt such circumstances were also not going to end well for the Tribulation Cultators.

After all, the cultivators of the Yiling Island Group aren’t simple either.

If they encounter Tribulation Cultivators, it’s like two tigers fighting; there will definitely be injuries.

If he arrives at the right time, he might benefit from the struggle.

......

So that night, Jiang Fan stayed overnight at an inn.

However, he didn’t cultivate.

After all, this place was not suitable for cultivation, only for resting.

Quickly, it was noon.

One after another, cultivators bought treasures and swiftly left Fish Dragon Island.

Spaceships rose into the sky.

And Jiang Fan remained at the inn, waiting quietly.

Rumble ~~

But not long after, a powerful tremor affected the entire Fish Dragon Island.

It seemed to cause a terrifying earthquake, turning the surrounding air into tangible ripples, sweeping in all directions.

Fissures appeared on the ground.

This shockwave also affected many cultivators on the island.

"What’s going on? What happened?"

Numerous cultivators on Fish Dragon Island were shocked, completely unaware of what transpired.

They had been here for a long time and had never encountered such an event.

Soon, someone quickly sent back news.

"Oh no, a Golden Core Cultivator has attacked Black Shark Island’s ship."

"In fact, many ships departing from Fish Dragon Island were intercepted by a powerful force."

Someone shouted.

What?!

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

They originally thought after the trip to the Yiling Secret Realm, the Yiling Island Group would be quite safe.

In the short term, there wouldn’t be any war.

Who could have imagined that in such a short time, a Golden Core Cultivator would come to attack.

"Which Golden Core Cultivator attacked Black Shark Island’s ship?"

"Do they intend to start a war with Black Shark Island?"

Many people asked.

"The attacker is not a Golden Core Cultivator from our Yiling Island Group."

"It’s said to be an independent practitioner Golden Core from within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect area, calling themselves the Red Blood Monster."

"This time, they came to our Yiling Island Group to make a fortune, hence targeting the Black Shark Island’s ship."

Someone soon gathered intelligence, explaining the entire situation.

"Wait, the Red Blood Monster?"

"I’ve heard of them before; they seem to be an independent practitioner Golden Core wanted by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."

"They committed major crimes within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect territory, killing a Golden Core Zhenren from the sect."

"They even killed many disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."

"Which incited the wrath of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, leading to a wanted notice."

"I thought they’d be dead for sure, and now they’re in our Yiling Island Group?!"

A cultivator seemed to recall something, having heard tales of the Red Blood Monster, a notorious fugitive.

After all, those who make it onto the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s wanted list are no minor criminals.

And their strength is extraordinary.

"No wonder the Red Blood Monster wanted to plunder Black Death Island’s ship."

"After being wanted by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, there’s no place they can hide."

"To make money, they can only rely on robbery."

Many people suddenly realized.

For a regular Golden Core Zhenren, making money is relatively simple.

By becoming a faction leader, spirit stones and wealth flow endlessly.

Even without mastering any cultivation techniques, they can still earn money.

But if they’re wanted by a Nascent Soul Influence, it’s a different story.
