Chapter 840 Master Goes Down the Mountain
The Valley Master of Sangmu Valley led a group of disciples into the city of Lingxu Cave. There was also a fat middle-aged man who came with them. This man had a kind smile on his face. There were circles of fat on his face, and his clothes were also jeweled. He looked like a nouveau riche in the secular world.
Zhong Yan felt something was wrong the first time she saw this person.
He recognized the attire worn by this upstart, and it was the Baoqi Pavilion next to their Lingxu Cave. A force specializing in cauldron business. The fat man in front of him is the big shopkeeper of Baoqi Pavilion, a strong man in the late stage of returning to the void.
"Shopkeeper Bao?"
Zhong Yan's face darkened.
She originally wanted to see who was behind the Sangmugu group, but she didn't expect that the other party came over on his own.
Before Lingxuzi broke through to the Hedao realm, he once ruined a business in Baoqi Pavilion, and it was in that business that Zhong Yan was saved by Lingxu. After that, Ling Xuzi fought twice with the Pavilion Master of Baoqi Pavilion, but in the end he was defeated. Since then, the two sides have not dealt with each other very much, but this is normal. There is basically friction between the forces in the world of immortality, and there is no 100% harmonious force.
Only casual cultivators with nothing will have no enemies.
When the news spread that Lingxuzi had overcome the tribulation and became a Hedao monk, the master of Baoqi Pavilion was so frightened that he fled to the outside world and did not even dare to return. Unexpectedly, he actually sent someone to find the door.
"I just came here to take a look. After all, Miss Zhong also came from our place before." Shopkeeper Bao had a kind smile on his face.
But the words he said made Zhong Yan's face darken.
It was the darkest period in her life when she was captured by Baoqi Pavilion and sold as a cauldron. Almost no one dared to mention this matter in front of her on weekdays. The shopkeeper Bao in front of her said this deliberately, obviously trying to stir up trouble.
"What do you mean?"
Zhong Yan narrowed her eyes, and her breath emerged.
But the cultivation level of Shopkeeper Bao on the opposite side is much higher than him, and he is not affected at all. On the contrary, the people in Sangmugu who had brought him over stood nervously beside him. They did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. They even skipped the probing process and turned their backs on him.
"The main reason I came here this time is to find a way out for you, so that you will not fall into the hands of others when Lingxu Cave is gone in the future."
Shopkeeper Bao spoke with a smile, not taking Zhong Yan's threat seriously at all.
Zhong Yan's face was gloomy. She was not as strong as Shopkeeper Bao, and she was alone at the moment. The name of the sect could not suppress this person, so she really had nothing to do.
The smile on the big shopkeeper's face became even brighter.
He walked to the side and sat down, playing with the tea cup on the table just like the master.
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Zhong Yan could only vent his anger on the faces of everyone in Sangmugu.
This Sangmu Valley used to be just a low-ranking Qi-refining family, and it was thanks to the support of their Lingxu Cave Heaven that they became what they are today. In the past, when nothing happened to Lingxuzi, they would rush to give gifts every year. Now that there are some signs, these people immediately changed their families. It can be seen from Shopkeeper Bao's attitude towards them that this group of people colluded with Baoqi Pavilion for more than a day or two.
"We are just trying to survive."
Everyone in Sangmu Valley looked at each other, and finally the owner of the valley, Sangmu, stepped forward and replied.
This time they came prepared.
We must make our attitude clear, only then will Baoqi Pavilion accept them.
"I heard that your sect is currently in trouble. Do you want our Baoqi Pavilion to help? We are all neighbors. As long as you ask, we can still borrow ten or eight spiritual stones."
Shopkeeper Bao placed the tea cup on the table, and his breath spread out, blocking Zhong Yan's momentum.
Since he brought this group of people here, he naturally wanted to protect them. Before coming here, he had tried several times to make sure that Lingxuzi on the mountain did not dare to go down the mountain. Only after receiving the promise from Lord Yangji did he dare to come here openly.
Zhong Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
At this point, there is no need to continue talking nonsense. It is better to go back and discuss with the master what to do next. But as soon as she took two steps, she felt her body being pushed back by a force of energy.
"what you do!"
Zhong Yan's expression changed.
She didn't expect that Shopkeeper Bao would be so bold and dare to take action in their spiritual cave.
Shopkeeper Bao was also very cautious and only used one-tenth of his power, leaving most of the rest on the Escape Talisman. It wasn't until Zhong Yan was suppressed back to his seat and Ling Xuzi on the mountain didn't give any feedback that he felt relieved and the smile on his face became brighter.
The old ghost Lingxu is really dying, and what Master Yangji said is true.
"Miss Zhong, don't leave in a hurry. Don't blame my old neighbor for not helping. Let's do this. Our Baoqi Pavilion's name will be given to you for free. You only need to practice with me once." After that, he picked up the Next to the teacup, he took out a pot of pink wine from the storage bag and poured it into it, then handed it to Zhong Yan.
A look of anger flashed across Zhong Yan's face.
No one knows better than her what the situation is like on the mountain now.
Master Lingxuzi couldn't go down the mountain at all. Although the senior brother who had just returned was a little stronger than him, he was definitely no match for Shopkeeper Bao.
what to do?
Could it be
"What? You think my wine tastes bad?"
Shopkeeper Bao narrowed his eyes and poured the wine glass towards Zhong Yan.
He had already thought about it. He would first kidnap Zhong Yan and wait for three days. If Lingxuzi still did not respond after three days, then their Baoqi Pavilion would officially invade the territory of Lingxu Dongtian and start to rob their mineral resources, and the task assigned by the Pavilion Master would be completed.
"Don't forget that this is Lingxu Dongtian."
Zhong Yan could only mention the name of the sect. For the first time, she felt that she was so weak. After losing the protection of her master, she could not even guarantee her own safety. The Divine Transformation cultivator was not weak, but it was obviously not enough to defend the foundation of Lingxu Dongtian.
"Haha."
Hearing this, Bao Zhanggui suddenly laughed out loud.
If it was at the beginning, he might still be a little afraid. But at this moment, he had already tested some of the truth, and naturally he would not be scared by an empty name.
"What about Lingxu Dongtian? Do you really expect the old ghost Lingxu on the mountain to come down to save you?"
His face turned cold, and the wine glass in his hand exploded with a bang.
The spiritual energy around him turned into visible airflow and gathered in his palm. A huge gold ingot appeared behind him. He raised his hand and smashed it directly towards Zhong Yan.
Bang! !
The roof collapsed, and a finger pressed down from the sky.
The golden ingot that Shopkeeper Bao exploded was like a small stone that was crushed on the spot by this finger. The aftermath of the explosion shattered the walls of the entire pavilion into powder. The spiritual power that had gathered before was drawn up by a higher level of power.
The illusory finger pressed on Shopkeeper Bao's head with the remaining force.
Shopkeeper Bao, who had just "controlled the situation", was pressed into the ground by this finger after just a few breaths of harsh words. After a sound of broken bones, the sound stopped abruptly. The wooden floor under everyone's feet was broken into pieces like dust, and the pavilion that originally stood in the middle of the market became a ruin here.
The main hall and Shopkeeper Bao below were all pressed into the ground.
The aftermath of the spiritual energy swept away a group of people from Sangmu Valley and Zhong Yan like sweeping away garbage. The people who came to their senses sat on the edge of the ruins, staring at the scene in front of them with a dull look.
Unlike the timid attack of Shopkeeper Bao, the person who attacked from the sky had no scruples at all. In an instant, he made them see the power of the second step of cultivation and knew what the Hedao Patriarch was.
"Master?!"
Zhong Yan raised her head, and only then did she see the face of the person who attacked from above.
It was Lingxuzi who had been hiding in the mountain before!
After the surprise, the expression on Zhong Yan's face quickly turned into worry. He knew that the Venerable Yangji was squatting nearby. Once the master left the top of the mountain, the other party would definitely find an opportunity to attack.
"You handle the rest."
The 'Lingxuzi' in the air swept his eyes, and ignored Zhong Yan's worries, and took a virtual step to leave the market. This scene made Zhong Yan look confused. She didn't understand why the master would take the initiative to leave the main mountain.
Did he have a way to deal with the Venerable Yangji?
Puff! !
"Spare me, I was forced to do this"
The screams came from behind, and Zhong Yan came to her senses. She looked back and found that it was 'Big Brother Lu Chen' who was cleaning up the traitors in Sangmu Valley.
"I'll take care of these minions."
'Big Brother Lu Chen' said in a gentle tone. Zhong Yan's body trembled when she heard it. He was obviously the Big Brother before, but how come he was like a different person after going up the mountain once.
The 'Lu Chen' in front of him was the black robe who went up the mountain with Chen Luo before.
After Chen Luo changed his identity as the headmaster, his 'little brother' naturally became the Big Brother. The only regret is that Situ Yu has only one brain. Before he finds Situ Yu's puppet secret technique, Situ Yu, who lacks the corresponding memory, can only create a 'living puppet'.
This is also the main reason why Chen Luo is in a hurry to get the secret technique back.
"Where's the junior brother?"
"Dead."
The black-robed man said calmly as he pulled his hand out of the chest of the monk from Sangmu Valley. He collected the blood-stained red pill and put it into a storage bag like a spiritual material.
"Dead?"
Zhong Yan felt a chill in her heart, and felt something was wrong. She subconsciously glanced at the soul mirror on her waist.
No problem?
This person is really the eldest brother!
"Why did Master suddenly go down the mountain?"
"A thief invaded the sect and stole the sect's secret treasure. Master went to chase the enemy." After killing the last traitor from Sangmu Valley, the black-robed man began to clean up the battlefield.
He did not let go of the shopkeeper Bao who was pressed to death, and personally took out his storage bag from a pool of minced meat.
Zhong Yan was silent for a while after seeing this skilled action. She even forgot her original worry about Lingxuzi. There was only one thought left in her mind.
'What did Master Brother experience in the past few years since he went down the mountain.' (End of this chapter)
