Chapter 857: Fierce Killing Formation

Lin Mu became a little alert.

He was almost overwhelmed by joy just now. The strength of this blue-clothed cultivator was indeed average. He was confident that the blue-clothed cultivator would not dare to play any tricks on him. In addition, what the blue-clothed cultivator said sounded very credible, and he was well versed in the jade slip business.

If he could buy a large amount of blue star jade and purple spirit jade at a low price here, it would be very convenient to buy rare jade slips from the blue-clothed cultivator in the future, and he would not have to look for mineral veins.

However, after leaving the city, the road ahead became more and more desolate, and he began to notice something was wrong.

The blue-clothed cultivator said that he had more than a thousand rare jade slips on him. With such wealth, how could he dare to live in such a desolate and dangerous place with the strength of an ordinary Return to Void Stage cultivator?

In such a remote place, no one would know if he was killed.

The blue-clothed cultivator acted cautiously, and sold the jade slips secretly, not daring to publicize it. How could he live so casually?

There might be a trick!

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Mu's joy disappeared and he began to be on guard secretly.

"Why don't you live in the city?" Lin Mu suddenly asked, "It's easy to encounter unexpected events in such a desolate place."

"I'm just a small business. It costs a lot of spirit stones to buy a cave in the city." The blue-clothed cultivator laughed, "We cultivators don't need to be so particular. We can sleep well with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed. Instead of spending that money in vain, I might as well save more spirit stones and buy a quiet and elegant cave in a secluded place in the future, or buy top-level resources to impact the fusion realm."

"You are too modest." Lin Mu He smiled and said, "You have one or two thousand rare jade slips on you, which are worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones. How can you not even afford a place to live?"

The blue-clothed cultivator was stunned, then reacted and said with a smile: "You are absolutely right. I do have hundreds of millions of spirit stones, but I used them as capital to buy these rare jade slips. Only by selling all these jade slips can I be considered to have a small fortune. Now I am really penniless and poor. The spirit stones I earn every day are not enough to live in a restaurant in the city."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, but his heart was gloomy.

The blue-clothed cultivator spoke without revealing a single word, but it made him feel more and more uneasy.

While Lin Mu was thinking, the blue-clothed cultivator suddenly asked back; "Are you afraid?"

"No." Lin Mu came back to his senses and smiled, "I just asked casually."

"If you are afraid, you can return to Wanghua City now." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled kindly, "Or you can wait for me here. After I take the jade slip, we will trade here. After the transaction, you can leave."

Lin Mu began to doubt in his heart.

Listening to what the blue-clothed cultivator said, it seems that he is really sincere in selling the jade slip. He is also very proficient in the ways of the world. He can see his worries and try his best to dispel his worries. He can even return to Wanghua City now.

If he really has ill intentions, he would like to tie him up tightly by his side. How could he let him leave at will?

After pondering for a while, Lin Mu decided.

Go and take a look!

He is not really only a cultivator of the Return to Void Stage. Not to mention that the blue-clothed cultivator is likely to sell the jade slip, even if he has ulterior motives and really wants to harm him, it is almost impossible to achieve.

His current strength, not to mention that he can definitely defeat a cultivator of the middle stage of the Fusion Stage, at least he can escape from the hands of a cultivator of the middle stage of the Fusion Stage without any problem.

In this case, what is there to be afraid of?

"No need." Lin Mu said with a smile, "I believe in your character. If your character is not worthy of trust, I also believe in my strength."

The blue-clothed cultivator looked at Lin Mu and smiled, "It is absolutely right to trust me! You are right. Even if you don't believe me, with your strength, you don't have to worry about me doing anything in secret. In fact, think about it, if I want to kill people and steal treasures, why would I waste my breath and tell you so much, wouldn't it be enough to ambush you directly on the road you must pass? Don't you think so?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded.

The two of them moved forward.

After flying for a long time, the road ahead was already extremely desolate. Looking around, there was no one in the wild.

Lin Mu couldn't understand why the blue-clothed cultivator lived in such a remote place.

"How far is it?" Lin Mu couldn't help asking.

"We're almost there. We'll be there in half an incense stick of time." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled.

The sword light flew by, as fast as a meteor.

Half an incense stick later, Lin Mu finally understood everything.

He was surrounded.

A group of Return to Void cultivators formed a circle and surrounded him.

A flash of surprise flashed across Lin Mu's face, and he was extremely flustered, all of which fell into the eyes of the smiling blue-clothed cultivator.

"What's going on?" Lin Mu asked in panic, "Didn't you say that you really sold the jade slips and wouldn't kill people for the treasure?"

"It's indeed selling the jade slips." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled brightly, "I really didn't lie to you."

"What's wrong with these people?" Lin Mu's face was ashen, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Are you talking about my friends?" The blue-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "You know, I am wealthy. You are worried that I have bad intentions, and I am also worried that you have bad intentions. They come here just to cheer me up and help me watch the place in case of any accidents."

"You really have calculated everything!" Lin Mu's eyes were filled with fear, "What do you want to do?"

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, to sell the jade slips." The blue-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "Let's start the transaction now."

"Are they really here to help in case of any accidents?" Lin Mu heard the words, the fear on his face was slightly reduced, and he said half-believingly and half-doubtingly.

"Of course." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled warmly, "As long as you don't make things difficult for me, they won't move at all."

"That's good!" Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"I'll give you the jade slips right now!" The blue-clothed cultivator said as he walked towards a green-clothed cultivator in the crowd, took a storage bag from the green-clothed cultivator, and handed it to Lin Mu, "All the jade slips are here, count them, there are a full 2,000!"

Lin Mu took the storage bag, checked it with his spiritual sense, and his face suddenly turned pale: "You'll sell me these jade slips for 150,000 spirit stones each?"

There were indeed 2,000 jade slips in the storage bag, but they were all Qinglan jade.

The blue-clothed cultivator smiled and nodded.

Lin Mu was furious. The anger of being deceived surged up his head. He cursed: "You sold me a Qinglan jade for 100 spirit stones each, and you sold it to me for 150,000 spirit stones each. Are you kidding me?"

"I don't have time to play with you." The blue-clothed cultivator said, "I'm serious. In business, it's a matter of willingness. The same thing is sold at different prices in the hands of different merchants, but the difference is a little bigger in my case."

"Shameless!" Lin Mu was extremely angry. "Your price is not just a little bigger, it's a thousand times more exaggerated!"

"My time is precious. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. My friends don't have the heart to watch the show here." The blue-clothed cultivator said impatiently, "Now you only have two choices. One is to quickly take out 600 million spirit stones and buy these precious jade slips."

"It's really precious. Two thousand Qinglan jades are sold for 600 million spirit stones." Lin Mu laughed angrily, "What about the other way?"

"Die." The blue-clothed cultivator spat out a word with a cold look on his face.

Lin Mu looked panicked, took three steps back, barely stood still, and his body was swaying, looking like he was about to collapse.

"I have been observing you, you didn't send out any sound transmission talismans or anything like that." Lin Mu asked unwillingly, "How did these people appear here to besiege me?"

"Although I don't want to say this, but you are really stupid." The blue-clothed cultivator laughed, "I told you so much, it was simply perfect, watertight, and you had to believe it. From this you can see that even if you didn't see it at the time, you should understand now that I have done this countless times. Do these partners of mine need me to contact them specifically?"

The crowd laughed loudly, and laughed very unbridled.

"I advise you to choose the first option and leave quickly." The blue-clothed cultivator said earnestly, "To tell you the truth, there are already hundreds of cultivators who have fallen in this place. Not to mention a cultivator like you who is in the middle stage of Return to Void, even the cultivators at the peak of Return to Void have lost countless numbers!"

"So, you have probably been doing this business for quite a few years, right?" Lin Mu asked.

"About ten years." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled.

"How many spirit stones have you earned in the past ten years?" Lin Mu asked.

"We haven't counted this carefully." The blue-clothed cultivator looked pleased, "But my own net worth is no less than 1 billion spirit stones."

"So, the net worth of the thirty-six of you cultivators combined is almost 40 billion?" Lin Mu looked surprised, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

"It should be about the same." The blue-clothed cultivator said, "At the beginning, we had more than fifty people. In the first few years, we encountered several powerful cultivators and more than a dozen of us died. Later, our wealth gradually increased, and everyone bought powerful magic weapons. Our strength also increased. With the joint efforts of thirty-six people, there are no more casualties, and every action has never failed."

For cultivators of the same level, thirty-six people besieged one person, and it was still like crushing.

"You are indeed powerful, I am willing to admit defeat." Lin Mu looked gloomy and asked, "But there are always powerful peak Return to Void Stage cultivators. They can't beat you, but they can always escape, right?"

"Don't even think about it!" The blue-clothed cultivator raised his head proudly, "We are 36 people, proficient in a killing array. The position of each person seems random, but in fact, there are hidden mysteries. Even if it is a fusion stage cultivator, we are 70% sure to kill him in this array. Peak Return to Void Stage cultivators want to escape, don't even think about it!"

"It seems that they deserve to be unlucky when they meet you." Lin Mu looked regretful, "It's a pity for those innocent cultivators, who just ruined their lives in vain."

"He still has the mood to sigh here, he is really stupid!" A red-clothed cultivator in the crowd couldn't help but said to the blue-clothed cultivator, "Third brother, why are you talking to a dying man? Kill him quickly!"

"People are divided into different classes. He spent a lot of spirit stones, so I will make him die with a clear conscience." The blue-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "Let's do it now."

Lin Mu looked extremely flustered, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that as long as I bought these two thousand Qinglan jades, you would let me leave?"

"I'm sorry, I lied to you about this." The blue-clothed cultivator smiled brightly, and the next moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his face was full of murderous intent. He shouted coldly: "Kill!"

In an instant, the sword light flashed colorfully, and dozens of flying swords of the spiritual magic weapon level attacked Lin Mu from all directions in an inexplicable formation.

Each flying sword contained endless murderous intent.

All the murderous intent, under the aggregation of the inexplicable killing formation, all gathered together.

The fierce murderous intent was as strong as substance.

Lin Mu felt cold all over, as if he fell into an ice cellar.
