Liu Shixing was sending a signal to the servants of Sanyin Island. He had previously instructed them to attack if they saw the signal.
Liu Shixing's aura was astonishing, his fourth-level Qi Linking cultivation unleashing a powerful aura that engulfed the entire open space in the center of the village.
Chen Xuanlin frowned slightly at Liu Shixing's sudden attack, then stepped forward with a light step.
Black soul energy permeated his body, enveloping him in his white robes, giving him an imposing presence. His appearance was akin to a tit-for-tat with Liu Shixing.
But only Chen Xuanlin knew that while his current appearance might be intimidating, his true combat power was no match for Chen Ganer, who had cultivated Heart Fire Rage.
The power of Soul Summoning lay in summoning the undead to aid him. While the soul
power gained from practicing Soul Summoning was adequate for defense, its offensive power was far inferior.
Furthermore, this technique consumed no spiritual energy, only lifespan. The longer Soul Summoning was used, the more lifespan was lost.
Liu Shixing naturally didn't know all this. He only saw that Chen Xuanlin's soul energy was surrounding his body with an astonishing momentum, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear on his face.
Liu Shixing didn't know what level of cultivation Chen Xuanlin had, nor what kind of martial arts he practiced.
To be on the safe side, he ordered the scarred young man without even turning his head,
"Kill that foul-mouthed man in black robe as soon as possible, and then work with me to deal with this man in white robe."
Liu Shixing asked the scarred young man to deal with Chen Ganer, whose cultivation level was less than the first level of Chain Qi. He naturally believed that the scarred young man would be able to finish the battle quickly and come to help him.
After all, the scarred young man had good talent. He was now at the second level of Chain Qi, and he had rich combat experience. Wouldn't it be easy
for him to deal with the man in black robe? Moreover, Chen Ganer's face looked a little pale now, and he looked like he had lost a lot of spiritual energy, so he didn't look scary.
Judging from the current situation, the two people on Tingquan Island are obviously in an advantageous position.
But in order to delay time, Chen Xuanlin also had a backup plan.

Liu Shixing used the spirit stone as bait, aiming to enter the village and investigate Sanyin Island's plunderability.
Chen Gan'er, following suit, had lured him here, a move also planned by Chen Xuanlin.
Chen Xuanlin declared,
"The Chen family spirits of our island are above us. Sanyin is in distress. Please aid us."
As his voice fell, a beam of white light emanated from the stone spirit.
This golden light split in mid-air, landing on Chen Xuanlin and Chen Gan'er respectively.
Two golden halos, approximately six feet in diameter, suddenly arose around them.
This halos, known as the Ring of Faith, are a skill of the stone spirit. While lacking offensive power, they possess remarkable defensive power, acting as a powerful defensive spell.
Furthermore, they only deplete Zhou Yi's power of faith, not his spiritual energy.
These halos were Zhou Yi's response to Chen Xuanlin, having been observing them for a long time.
A few days ago, while Chen Xuanlin was praying before the sacrificial spirit stone, imploring the spirit's aid, Zhou Yi manipulated the Dead Sea Communicating Stele to reveal text in response.
Zhou Yi, now a mere spirit, unable to speak, could not communicate directly with the Chen clan and was unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, he discovered that he could communicate with others by manipulating the Dead Sea Communicating Stele to reveal text.
After that communication, Chen Xuanlin became even more certain that the Dead Sea Communicating Stele's appearance was connected to his own sacrificial spirit.
After awakening, his spirit became increasingly mysterious, and Chen Xuanlin's respect for it grew.
However, Zhou Yi's power of faith was too limited, requiring him to be near the stone sacrificial spirit to perform this ritual.
This led to the scene where Chen Ganer led the cultivators here.
...
Chen Xuanlin was now surrounded by soul light and golden rings, looking quite intimidating.
Chen Xuanlin pointed his hand like a sword, aiming it at Liu Shixing. With full force, he declared,
"Why do you think I brought you here? You two won't be able to escape today."
Liu Shixing was momentarily perplexed, but not panicked. He had just signaled to the servants of Tingquan Island, and it wouldn't be long before those long-prepared servants would arrive.
Furthermore, his true confidence in landing on the island lay in his hidden trump card. With that trump card in hand, the two islanders would absolutely not let him go.
With this in mind, Liu Shixing glanced at the two Chens with a sinister smile, thinking to himself, "Don't you care about the inhabitants of this island? What will you do when the time comes to use them as a threat?"
While mortals couldn't completely interfere with the cultivators' battle, if the servants of Tingquan Island slaughtered the islanders, the two would panic, revealing their weaknesses, and he could seize the opportunity to deal with them.
Liu Shixing understood that now he just needed to drag these two people along.
Nearby, Chen Gan'er had just fought a cultivator for the first time, managing to hold his own. Now, protected by the Stone Sacrificial Spirit, his fighting spirit surged.
He had been diligently studying the techniques recorded in Heart Fire Rage for the past few days, but these techniques were either profound and difficult to understand or consumed a staggering amount of spiritual energy.
Even the techniques that transformed spiritual energy into fire, which weren't considered magic, consumed a significant amount.
Chen Gan'er now dared not attack with fire, instead engaging the scarred youth in close combat.
His hands glowed crimson as he swung a fist at the scarred youth, a whistling blow, bearing the weight of a thousand pounds of force.
A dark light emanated from the scarred youth's hand. He raised his left hand and gently flicked it aside, deflecting the blow. His right fist then charged towards Chen Gan'er's abdomen.
While Chen Gan'er had never fought a cultivator before, he had plenty of combat experience from years of sparring with the mortals of the Shore-Connecting Island.
Facing the scarred young man's tricky punch, Chen Ganer did not retreat but advanced instead. His left hand, which had missed the target, grabbed the scarred young man's face again.
Two dull sounds were heard, and the two figures separated instantly.
The scarred young man's punch hit the golden light that protected Chen Gan'er's body, but Chen Gan'er did not seem to be injured.
However, a thin bloody mark was scratched on the face of the scarred young man by Chen Gan'er.
After becoming a cultivator, the difference in strength between them and ordinary people is huge, and one move can seriously injure the enemy.
So although the two of them looked like ordinary people fighting with fists and feet, in fact, every move was extremely thrilling.
Chen Gan'er's fighting style was fierce and his moves were fierce. The scarred young man's fighting style was feminine and his moves were vicious.
The two of them fought back and forth.
Liu Shixing saw the scarred young man, who was at the second level of Qi Chain, fighting back and forth with Chen Gan'er, who was at the first level of Qi Chain, and it was unclear who would win for a while, and his brows suddenly frowned.
Liu Shixing pondered in his heart again. He didn't expect that this island was so strange. A cultivator with such a low cultivation level had a good combat power. Then how powerful should the combat power of the white-robed man opposite with a storage gourd tied around his waist be?
If he rashly used his trump card, the cost would be too high, and he hesitated for a moment.
Liu Shixing was a cunning and cautious person, never making a move without certainty.
After a moment's deliberation, he decided to keep a close eye on the white-robed man, whom he couldn't fathom. Once the scarred youth prevailed, he would then join forces to attack the white-robed man. Once his minions arrived, his chances of victory would greatly increase.
Therefore, he felt it unnecessary to risk a fight with the white-robed man now.
Due to Liu Shixing's various considerations, as well as Chen Xuanlin's intimidating appearance and aura,
a strange situation had developed in the open space at the center of Chenjia Village.
The two cultivators with higher cultivation levels did not participate in the battle, but instead watched the fight between the two less powerful cultivators.
Chen Gan'er had always been incredibly excited when fighting others.
This was his first encounter with a cultivator, and the same was true. His excitement grew with each fight.
Chen Gan'er roared, "Come on!"
Then, without performing any magic, he simply raised his fist and rushed towards the scarred young man.
The scarred young man said nothing, and black liquid gushed out of his body, instantly dyeing his entire right arm black.
The scarred young man raised his black right hand and slammed it into Chen Gan'er's fist.
A loud collision sounded.
Bang!
Chen Gan'er retreated dozens of steps, while the scarred young man only retreated four or five steps.
Even drops of blood fell from Chen Gan'er's fingers. Although
Chen Gan'er was at a disadvantage in this blow, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. He shook the blood off his hand, laughed loudly, and was about to attack again.
At this time, the scarred young man, with his back to Liu Shixing, made a cryptic expression towards Chen Gan'er.
The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he uttered a word silently.
