The demonic beast from the Inquiring Journey realm surpassed You Dan in strength but was no match for Feng Hongbo.
After an intense battle, Feng Hongbo finally emerged victorious!
From the sidelines, Jiang Chen, having observed the entire confrontation with an air of indifference, reflected, 'This tactic... It's like sacrificing a pawn to ensure two victories.'
'Using the less powerful to eliminate the mightier demonic beast, then deploying the stronger to vanquish the weaker. This ensures victory.' These insights coursed through his mind.
Concerning You Dan's fate, he chose not to interfere, avoiding potential complications and staying true to his original theories and plans.
He wouldn't play the role of a savior, endangering his own life for someone he had no ties with.
Furthermore, if someone's fate was truly sealed, being saved once or twice wouldn't change much.
If their destinies weren't linked with Jiang Chen's, the result would stay the same.
Fu Huacan and his group were prime examples of this concept.
At that moment, Jiang Chen's gaze turned to the nearby sea.
He noticed a figure who had silently made his way into the outskirts of the demonic beast horde – it was Gu Ran!
'Haha! So many demonic beasts!' Seeing the swarm of demonic beasts in front of him, Gu Ran's face lit up with excitement and eager anticipation.
'Today, I should at least be able to advance further!' He then began alternating between 'killing demonic beasts' and 'concealing his aura'!
In no time, Gu Ran had taken down more than a dozen demonic beasts, amassing a significant cultivation base.
Yet, as a Heavenly Origin realm cultivator, the cultivation base he gained from defeating Mysterious Platform realm demonic beasts was only marginal.
Furthermore, he couldn't consistently take down the Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts in just one hit.
As a result, he had to eliminate a large number of demonic beasts to advance to the Inquiring Journey realm.
'Keep up the assault, persist in the fight.' Jiang Chen watched Gu Ran below, who was tirelessly dispatching demonic beasts, choosing not to intervene. 'Before long, those supporting characters will have their eyes on you.'
At the same time, Gu Ran's potent techniques, remarkable achievements, and commendable feats caught the attention of many.
"Who is that individual? He's extraordinarily powerful!" someone exclaimed, eyes fixed on Gu Ran's performance.
"Truly, how does he conceal his presence so effectively? I can't detect any hints whatsoever."
"He must be using some sort of treasure or secret art, or possibly an Inquiring Journey realm magic treasure!"
"Amazing! Watch him – he disappears one moment and ambushes the next. Before the demonic beasts can even react, he's taken one down and seamlessly blended back into the shadows!"
"I wish I had such a secret art or treasure!"
"Absolutely, who wouldn't! With that treasure or secret art in hand, you could navigate this demonic beast tide with ease!"
"I'm so jealous!"
One by one, the cultivators observed Gu Ran, who seamlessly vanished and reappeared, taking down demonic beasts and weaving through the battlefield in an impressive dance.
Everyone watched with palpable admiration.
Soon after, the envy and greed in the eyes of some began to surface!
'I never expected to find such a treasure on my Black Wood Island!' Feng Liu, the eldest son of the Feng Clan, squinted his eyes, greed surging in his heart, 'I must have it!'
From his viewpoint, employing such a powerful invisibility skill merely to kill demonic beasts was a sheer squandering of its potential.
Were it in his hands, he would undoubtedly prioritize wandering the world, becoming the epitome of a 'flower' thief, and indulging in his most decadent desires...
Yet, as he entertained this thought, Feng Liu's envy only deepened.
He speculated that Gu Ran had likely played the 'flower' thief role on multiple occasions.
'Damn, he's truly living the dream!' Feng Liu clenched his teeth, his icy gaze locked onto Gu Ran, wishing he could take him down right then and there.
However, he was aware that the moment wasn't right.
Gu Ran was busy battling demonic beasts, and if Feng Liu were bold enough to strike, Feng Hongbo would undoubtedly be the first to counter!!
Thus, Feng Liu could do nothing more than maintain his intense scrutiny of Gu Ran!
'That guy... has malicious intentions!' Gu Ran astutely sensed Feng Liu's gaze and instinctively furrowed his brows.
However, he didn't have the luxury to dwell on it at the moment, as his priority lay in exterminating demonic beasts and absorbing their cultivation base.
And regarding the unfolding events below, Jiang Chen was a vigilant observer of it all!
'That Feng Liu, the eldest son of the Feng Clan, soon to meet his end, has set his eyes on Gu Ran!'
'It seems the tale involving Gu Ran and the Feng Clan is about to unfold.'
Jiang Chen's lips curved into a subtle smile. 'If that's the case, then it's time for me to make my move.'
Without delay, he flicked his hand and a burst of light erupted.
Over the vast sea, Gu Ran continued to fervently 'leap back and forth', relentlessly attacking demonic beasts.
The cultivation base he was accumulating was also gradually increasing!
'Almost there! Just a few more demonic beasts to eliminate, and I'll break through to the Inquiring Journey realm!' Gu Ran felt the surging power within him intensify, filling him with exhilaration.
Suddenly, a torrent of innumerable sword Qi strands surged from a distance, instantly shrouding the entire battlefield!
These sword Qi strands were dense, their sole targets being the demonic beasts!
In an instant, all the demonic beasts besieging Black Wood Island were annihilated.
Their bodies fell incessantly into the sea, creating countless ripples.
[Ding! You have successfully curtailed a portion of protagonist Gu Ran's opportunities, Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value decreased by 500 points!]
[Ding! You have accrued 1000 Villain Value points!]
At the same time, as the system prompts echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, Gu Ran's eyes widened in confusion, his expression reflecting sheer bewilderment as he surveyed the ominously desolate surroundings.
"Hold on, what the..." A surge of unspoken curses welled up in his throat.
He was on the verge of leveling up!
Yet, at this crucial moment, the demonic beasts had been swiftly obliterated by someone!
Conversely, the cultivators from Black Wood Island displayed an entirely different reaction.
"My goodness, all the demonic beasts have been annihilated!" exclaimed a voice in astonishment.
"So many demonic beasts eradicated in an instant, am I hallucinating!?"
"There's a mysterious powerhouse in action here, they must be at least at the Dao Comprehension realm!"
"Haha, we've safeguarded Black Wood Island, this is fantastic!"
"Thank you, whoever you are, mysterious powerhouse! My children won't have to face death now!"
A crowd of cultivators first stared in bewilderment at the eerily silent battlefield, then their faces lit up with relentless waves of joy, one after the other.
Even more cultivators promptly dropped to their knees, tears streaming down their faces, overwhelmed with emotion.
It wasn't only these combat-ready cultivators who dwelled on Black Wood Island; there were also countless elders, women, and children!
If they couldn't halt the demonic beast tide, not only them but the entire island's population, from the eldest to the youngest, would be devoured alive!
Now that Jiang Chen had intervened, he had essentially saved countless families.
In addition to the low-ranking cultivators, Feng Hongbo was equally astonished, not expecting such a powerful figure to come to Black Wood Island's aid.
"I, Feng Hongbo, offer my respects to the esteemed senior!" Feng Hongbo displayed an expression of profound respect and gratitude.
Since he was unaware of Jiang Chen's whereabouts, he bowed in all directions as a sign of respect.
"We offer our respects to the esteemed senior!" The other cultivators from Black Wood Island also bowed simultaneously, conveying their gratitude.
"This demonic beast tide is unusual," Nangong Wan's voice suddenly echoed.
"The legendary Nether Demon Clan has emerged!"
"The incursion route of the Nether Demon Clan lies eighteen thousand miles to the southeast."
"I have eliminated the Dao Palace realm powerhouse of the Nether Demon Clan. They should abstain from counterattacking in the near term, but you must remain vigilant. Furthermore, the demonic beast tide has not been completely eradicated, so be prepared." Though her tone was gentle, her words resonated clearly in everyone's ears.
"Yes!" Feng Hongbo immediately bowed, his voice firm and authoritative. "We will follow the esteemed senior's guidance!"
The revelation about the Nether Demon Clan left him astounded and apprehensive, yet the knowledge that the Nether Demon Clan's most formidable powerhouse had been eliminated alleviated his worry considerably.
"We will follow the esteemed senior's guidance!" All the cultivators of Black Wood Island bowed in unison.
Furthermore, none of them could have foreseen that this mysterious female powerhouse had already eliminated a Dao Palace realm demon before coming to their aid!
This revelation immediately deepened their admiration.
Meanwhile, Gu Ran sighed inwardly, thinking, 'It seems the great battle against the demonic beasts on Black Wood Island has reached its conclusion.'
