Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

101: Sending a message from the fairy island, setting sail to return.Li Yinglong watched the dragon boat disappear into the horizon and was about to return to the Family.

Suddenly—

“Whoosh~!”

A sharp, piercing cry of a falcon, without any warning, cut through the extremely high and distant clouds!

Li Yinglong suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes!

He saw a small black dot in the clouds diving down at an almost frantic speed, so fast that it left faint sonic boom cloud trails in the air. It was none other than the Green Shadow Falcon “Green Lightning,” the fastest of its kind, usually responsible for urgent communications with the Immortal Island!

Something had happened on the Immortal Island!

Given Li Qingzhu’s steady and capable Heart-Nature, she would never use the Green Shadow Falcon for emergency communication unless it was a matter of extreme urgency, concerning life and death!

His Spiritual Qi burst forth, transforming into an invisible pulling force. Green Lightning instantly flew towards him, landing steadily on his raised arm guard.

Clutched tightly in one of its sharp talons was a dark shadow stone, no larger than a thumb.

Li Yinglong’s expression was solemn. He took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to feed it, gently comforting it for the hardships of its long flight, and quickly untied the shadow stone.

He didn’t even have time to return to his room; he immediately infused a trace of Dragon Qi to activate it.

“Om…”

The surface of the shadow stone glowed, and a slightly flickering image was projected.

Li Qingzhu’s figure appeared in the image; she was inside a quiet grotto chamber.

Her expression was solemn, but her eyes remained calm, and her speech was fast yet clear:

“Uncle, all is well! The situation is urgent, I’ll be brief!”

“From midnight last night until this morning, the east, north, and west coasts of the Immortal Island were successively attacked by unknown sea demons on a large scale! Their appearance was hideous, unlike any sea beast seen before—neither fully human nor fully fish, covered in scales, with sharp claws and teeth. They could even wield wicked water-elemental spells and were incomparably ferocious, and… they seemed highly organized, advancing and retreating with considerable discipline!”

“Fortunately, the early warning Formation set up by Mingyuan detected them in advance. The disciples fought valiantly, annihilating the invading enemy on the beachhead! Our side… many were injured, but thankfully no disciples perished, which is truly fortunate!”

“However, these demonic creatures are unheard of and unseen! Their origin is bizarre, and their purpose is unknown. This niece’s heart is uneasy, wondering if there might still be great trouble ahead! Therefore, I send this urgent message, attaching images of some of the demonic creature remnants. Please, Uncle, make a swift decision!”

Before her voice faded, the scene switched, focusing on the bodies of the attackers that Li Changxing had collected.

Even as just an image, their grotesque and bizarre appearance sent shivers down one’s spine:

Humanoid torsos were covered in dark, slimy scales the color of rotten seaweed, with webbed fingers, distorted heads, huge mouths gaping with dense, barbed fangs, and empty or missing eye sockets. A desolate, cold, and foul aura emanated from their bodies. From the wounds on some of the corpses, what flowed out was not fresh red blood, but a dark blue, viscous, foul-smellingslurry!

The image of these demonic creatures instantly struck a corner of Li Yinglong’s memory that had been deliberately sealed away!

“This is…!”

Li Yinglong’s pupils suddenly constricted like pinpricks! It was as if thunder exploded in his mind!

He stared intently at the terrifying corpse images on the shadow stone. A chilling record of ancient secrets from the “Communication Edition” of the Thousand Mechanisms Hundred Know Sect’s records of strange tales of the universe surged into his mind like a tide:

【…The Blood Curse Sea Clan, thousands of years ago, was a wicked creation of the Wo Clan’s Six Sages, who used dark arts to abduct people from Shenzhou, mixing them with the Bloodline of fierce sea beasts and applying forbidden techniques… Their appearance is ugly, half-human, half-fish, covered in scales and armor. They are bloodthirsty, filled with monstrous malice, and harbor enmity towards intelligent races on land… They excel in water combat and can wield wicked water-elemental power… Their blood is dark blue, and their Qi is foul… Although they later rebelled against Wo Island and fled into the deep sea, their very existence is a curse…】

Every single characteristic highly matched the images of the demonic creatures on the shadow stone!

Although the Thousand Mechanisms Hundred Know Sect’s records did not have pictorial evidence, only textual descriptions passed down through generations, and the era was ancient, Li Yinglong, relying on his powerful memory and keen intuition, almost instantly connected the two!

“Weren’t they supposed to have been annihilated along with the Wo Clan by the armies of the Three Immortals Sect and the Kaiyuan Dynasty? Why are they appearing here? And attacking my Li Clan’s Immortal Island?!”

Even with Li Yinglong’s Heart-Nature, having lived two lives, he couldn’t help but feel a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

If his conjecture was true, then what the Li Clan would face was by no means ordinary sea beast harassment, but a massive storm that could sweep across the entire East Sea, even involving ancient grievances!

The crisis hidden behind it far exceeded imagination!

“Whether it is or not, it must be confirmed immediately!”

Li Yinglong did not wish his guess to be true, but he was not a person who relied on luck.

There was no longer any hesitation in his eyes; he instantly made a decision.

He quickly put away the shadow stone and turned to shout:

“Qingshan!”

Li Qingshan, standing behind him, had already noticed his father’s solemn expression and hurried forward at the sound:

“Father, what is it?”

“The Immortal Island has been attacked, the situation is urgent. I must return immediately to handle it!”

Li Yinglong spoke very quickly:

“All matters concerning the Linhai City main port are entrusted to you for full disposal! Effective immediately, strengthen the city’s defenses, especially patrols at the docks and along the coast. If any suspicious signs are found, or if subsequent messages are received from the Immortal Island, respond immediately with the highest protocol. If necessary, activate the hidden passage. Everything must be done with caution and stability as the priority!”

Although Li Qingshan did not know the specific matter, seeing his father’s demeanor, he knew it was definitely no small feat. He immediately bowed and accepted the order:

“Yes! Father, please rest assured, your son will strictly guard the city and await your news! Please be careful!”

Li Yinglong patted his eldest son’s shoulder heavily, said no more, and turned to walk towards the docking area.

After a few steps, he happened to encounter Lin Xiaowan, Aya, and Yan Gang returning, laughing and chatting, seemingly having just visited the market, holding some novel trinkets from the Southern Border.

They all paused, seeing Li Yinglong’s hurried steps, solemn expression, and an unusual sense of urgency in his aura.

Lin Xiaowan was the first to react, stepping forward and asking with concern:

“Clan Chief Grandpa, what is the rush?”

Li Yinglong’s steps paused slightly. His gaze swept over the three, and he said in a deep voice:

“The Immortal Island has been attacked, the situation is unclear. I must return immediately.”

“Immortal Island attacked?”

Aya and Yan Gang’s smiles instantly vanished upon hearing this.

Yan Gang urgently said:

“Do you need us…”

“Let’s go together!”

Lin Xiaowan interjected:

“Clan Chief Grandpa, take us with you. The more people, the more strength!”

Aya nodded emphatically:

“We’ll go too!”

Li Yinglong looked at them. In their eyes was sincerity and determination, without the slightest fear.

The situation was indeed urgent, and manpower was needed. Moreover, their strength was considerable, and they could all be useful.

“Good! No time to lose, let’s depart immediately!”

Li Yinglong no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.

The four said no more, their figures flashing as they rushed at top speed to the dedicated dock outside the city.

A swift speedboat was kept there year-round, set up by Li Yinglong to handle emergencies.

Board the boat, untie the ropes, hoist the sails!

Li Yinglong personally steered, pouring his Dragon Qi into it. The speedboat, like an arrow shot from a bow, cut through the waves, left the harbor, and sped towards the Immortal Island overseas!

The sea wind howled, flapping their robes.

Li Yinglong stood at the bow, gazing at the distant horizon where sea and sky met, his eyes as deep as an abyss.

In the direction of the Immortal Island, dark clouds seemed to be gathering.
