After the Zhang family recovered from their injuries, they had already collected all the Flame Crystal Stones near the Fire Sea.
After all, they didn't have Lin Chen's methods to resist the Fire Sea magma, and most of their cultivation techniques weren't Fire Attribute; many were even Water Attribute, so they couldn't even stay near the mountain edges close to the Fire Sea.
Ultimately, the Zhang family decided to withdraw from the Fire Sea area and move to the outskirts of the island.
But the Zhang family couldn't understand why Yun Kaige and the Black Yan Hall folks were so fixated on Lin Chen, insisting on ambushing outside the island, waiting for Lin Chen to emerge.
In the past half month, Lin Chen had remained inactive, and people weren't sure if Yun Kaige and the Black Yan Hall's ambushers had left. They dared not go out to check, as Lin Chen had explicitly stated earlier that if anyone in the Zhang family fell into Yun Kaige and the Black Yan Hall's hands again, he wouldn't bother rescuing them.
Therefore, Zhang Caiyun secretly kept the Zhang family on the island no matter what happened. After the previous incidents, she no longer trusted Yun Kaige and others.
Previously, the Black Yan Hall members had demanded the Purple Scale Fruit, and under pressure, Yun Kaige and the others made the Zhang family surrender the fruit and were detained on the island.
So, Zhang Caiyun saw through Yun Kaige and the Heaven Hall people entirely and preferred to trust Lin Chen over them.
At this time, Lin Chen happened to be surveying around the island.
Seeing Lin Chen looking around as if searching for treasures, Zhang Caiyun became curious.
"Lin Chen, what are you looking for?" Zhang Caiyun asked Lin Chen faintly.
"Why do you care about so much? You're everywhere," Lin Chen replied to Zhang Caiyun's nosy inquiry indifferently.
"You, Lin Chen, growing some guts, huh? We're trapped on this island for so long, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
"Do you believe I can make Hong Ying ignore you in the future?" Zhang Caiyun looked at Lin Chen angrily.
"Sister Caiyun, you're talking nonsense again. How many times have I told you, there's nothing between Young Master Lin Chen and me."
Zhang Hongying, who was cultivating, immediately spoke up to emphasize upon hearing Zhang Caiyun's words.
Lin Chen had intended to retort to Zhang Caiyun, but seeing Zhang Hongying speaking up, he ignored it and continued his exploration on the island.
Seeing Zhang Hongying's denial, Zhang Caiyun immediately chuckled.
"Sister Hong Ying, don't pretend. Young people, it's normal to love and hate boldly."
"Do you think this guy doesn't care about you? Do you know the value of the Image Capturing Talisman? Back then, this guy urged Liu Yong, specifically taking out two Image Capturing Talismans to pressure Liu Yong and rescue you." Zhang Caiyun looked at Zhang Hongying and laughed.
It was something she only understood later; Lin Chen had angered Liu Yong to retreat and instilled fear in him, seizing the moment to rescue Zhang Hongying.
Indeed, with the Image Capturing Talisman present, no matter how capable and bold Liu Yong was, he wouldn't dare to kill Zhang Hongying in front of the Talismans.
Upon hearing Zhang Caiyun's words, Zhang Hongying's cheeks instantly reddened. Zhang Caiyun was right; those were two Image Capturing Talismans, worth as much as a Seventh-Rank Mid-Grade magical treasure.
Lin Chen used two Image Capturing Talismans to save her.
If Lin Chen didn't have feelings for her, why would he do such a thing? Now Zhang Hongying seriously doubted Lin Chen was interested in her, just embarrassed to mention it, but now her cousin brought it up.
However, Zhang Hongying didn't know that these valuable Talismans were not as rare in Lin Chen's hands as in the market. Although they consumed some materials, to Lin Chen, saving a Heavenly Pride from the Zhang family and leaving a favor was worth two Talismans.
Lin Chen spent the next two days exploring the island until he fully understood Yang Flame Island, and then he began to prepare for the setup of the Defensive Array.
Lin Chen took out all the formation materials he had, setting up two spiritual formations: one similar to the defensive formation beneath the Fire Sea, and the other was a Killing Formation for both offense and defense.
Moreover, a major advantage of this island was the Fire Sea magma, continuously providing energy, so Lin Chen didn't need to invest Spirit Stones to keep the spiritual formations running.
The spiritual formations Lin Chen set up borrowed from the underground Sword Array, combined with the fire energy here, the Sword Array's power was imaginable; he was confident he could easily kill a Creation Realm expert who recklessly intruded the island.
With these spiritual formations, Lin Chen had confidence on this island.
If Yun Kaige and others intended to return to this island, Lin Chen could simply initiate the Killing Formation with a thought and obliterate the adversaries to ashes. For more chapters visıt NoveI(F)ire.net
Lin Chen spent ten days setting up the Killing Formation; once the Great Formation formed, an overwhelming killing intent immediately enveloped the entire island.
This made Zhang Caiyun and others' expressions change drastically; sensing the killing intent, they panicked, uncertain of what was happening.
They had no doubt that in front of this killing intent, if someone harbored malice towards them, a thought could lead to their downfall. They dared not move at all, stopping all actions and freezing in place.
After approximately the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the killing intent gradually dissipated.
However, this time felt like a century to Zhang Caiyun and others.
When the killing intent passed, Zhang Caiyun and the others took a deep breath, each exhaustedly sitting on the ground, as if they had returned from Ghost Gate Pass.
