Chapter 498 Return to Fufeng Market

A night rain fell, washing away the dust, and Fufeng Market was brand new inside and outside.

The Yanyang Mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist, and the spiritual fields nearby were lush and green.

"After going around in circles, I didn't expect to return to Fufeng Market again."

Chu Chen stood on the deck of the Zhenkong warship with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

Since he deduced that the Qingyun Tower would have an internal strife within ten years, he prepared to leave the Qingyun Tower temporarily and wait for subsequent changes.

It happened that the demon clan in the Yanyang Mountains was moving, and several Jindan middle-stage demon kings appeared on the outskirts of the Yanyang Mountains, and were about to set off a beast tide. Fufeng Market reported to the Qingyun Tower and asked for support.

Chu Chen took the initiative to take this task and led a hundred Qingyun Tower monks to help Fufeng Market.

In fact.

For Chu Chen, the best choice is to let the puppet incarnation go to Xiaoyao Domain, away from the disputes in Yuanwu Domain.

Not only can he avoid the turmoil in Qingyun Tower, but he can also wait for the opening of the alien insect secret realm with his original body.

A few days ago, Chu Chen did his routine divination and got a good hexagram.

One year later, if he stayed in Yuanyang Domain, he would have a chance to get an opportunity.

This opportunity is destined for Chu Chen, and it is also related to the crisis of Qingyun Tower.

According to the information fed back by the Destiny and Qi-Watching Technique, there is a treasure in this opportunity that can affect the future situation of Qingyun Tower and help Qingyun Tower overcome the crisis.

"Forget it, stay for another year."

Chu Chen considered for several days and finally decided to take a look at this so-called opportunity.

For Yuanying cultivators, treasures that can be regarded as opportunities are at least spiritual objects of the fourth grade or above, which are worth his extra year.

At the level of the fourth grade, each spiritual object is extremely precious and hard to find in the world.

The opening time of the alien insect secret realm is uncertain, but judging from the changes in the luck of Zhang Xundao and Huo Wenhao, the alien insect secret realm will not be opened within one or two years.

The puppet incarnation does not need to rush to Xiaoyao Domain, but can stay in Yuanwu Domain to get opportunities.

Of course.

If the danger is too high, Chu Chen will also let the puppet incarnation give up the opportunity and leave Yuanwu Domain.

It is better to be safe.

As for the treasures related to the situation of Qingyun Tower, if he is not of much use to him after getting them, he will give them to Qingyun Tower.

After all, he has practiced in Qingyun Tower for such a long time, and he has some incense and affection. Chu Chen does not want to see Qingyun Tower destroyed. Under the condition that it does not affect himself, he does not mind helping Qingyun Tower.

So, Chu Chen took the task and came to Fufeng Market.

"Compared with several surrounding markets, Fufeng Market is surrounded by calamity, but the calamity is the lightest. It may be the safest place in Yuanwu Domain in the next period of time."

Chu Chen looked at the sky above Fufeng Market and nodded.

Along the way, every time he passed a market, he would observe the luck with the destiny and qi technique.

The farther away from the Qingyun Mountains, the lighter the calamity of the market's luck.

Obviously, the evil hand that attacked Qingyun Tower was more targeting Qingyun Tower, rather than the entire Yuanwu Domain.

"If it weren't for the beast tide, there might not be any calamity in Fufeng Market."

Chu Chen made a judgment.

He was not very worried about this beast tide.

Before coming to Fufeng Market, he had contacted Heiyou to understand the inside story of this beast tide.

This beast tide was not led by Yuanying-level forces such as the Jiaolong clan, but was led by several Jindan monster kings, with the purpose of consuming the number of low-level monsters in Yanyang Mountain Range.

Such things are quite common. The low-level monsters in Yanyang Mountain Range reproduce very quickly. Every once in a while, the high-level monsters in Yanyang Mountain Range will launch a beast tide to reduce the resource pressure of Yanyang Mountain Range.

For the low-level cultivators in Fufeng Market, the outbreak of this beast tide is more dangerous than an opportunity.

But for Chu Chen, there is no danger, and the high-level leaders of Qingyun Tower don't care much either.

If it weren't for the request of Fufeng Market, Qingyun Tower would not send anyone here.

Boom!

The air-suppressing warship broke through layers of air, and a thunderous roar erupted.

The sky-covering black shadow poured down, blocking the sunlight above Fufeng Market.

The cultivators inside the market all looked at the warship in the sky with horror on their faces.

This air-suppressing warship was the most common air-suppressing warship, and its destructive power was only equivalent to that of an early Jindan cultivator, but for many cultivators in Fufeng Market, it was still an unchallengeable mountain.

Swish!

Three figures flew into the sky and met the air-suppressing warship.

The leader was wearing brown clothes, with sparse hair and a slightly hunched figure. He was the current deputy leader of Qingyun Pavilion, named Zheng Wenshan.

The next two were two Jindan cultivators from Xuanjing Sect, Taoist Yunze and Master Linggan.

Since the demise of the Zhang family, the controller of Fufeng Market has changed several times, and was taken over by Xuanjing Sect.

Xuan Jingzong is a Jindan sect in Yuanwu Domain. It has five Jindan cultivators, including a Jindan late-stage cultivator. Its strength is not weak.

However, compared with the former Zhang family and other forces, Xuan Jingzong is still far inferior.

But the reason why Xuan Jingzong was able to suppress many competitors and control Fufeng Market is mainly because it kneeled down completely.

Xuan Jingzong handed over 60% of the annual income of Fufeng Market to Qingyun Tower in exchange for the support of Qingyun Tower.

This move made many Yuanwu Domain forces curse, so they hated Xuan Jingzong.

Fufeng Market was not opened by Qingyun Tower, but by a foundation-building family in Yuanwu Domain, and then gradually developed and expanded to its current appearance.

According to the unspoken rules of various forces, no matter who controls Fufeng Market, they only need to hand over 30% of the income.

Xuan Jingzong doubled the proportion of handover in one go, how could other forces in Yuanwu Domain not hate it?

Even if Fufengfang City is captured from Xuanjing Sect in the future, it is impossible for all parties to risk offending Qingyun Tower and reduce the proportion of surrender.

In a sense, this move brought two benefits to Xuanjing Sect.

First, Xuanjing Sect can firmly control Fufengfang City.

Opening a market is not an easy task. The operation and maintenance costs are extremely high. Only 40% of the income is retained, and the resources that can be earned every year are not too many.

After weighing the pros and cons, other forces are generally unwilling to compete for Fufengfang City.

Second, lean on the mountain of Qingyun Pagoda.

Xuanjing Sect handed over 60% of its income, and accordingly, Qingyun Tower would also protect Xuanjing Sect.

If Xuanjing Sect requested support for this beast wave, Qingyun Tower would send Chu Chen and others to support them.

In the past, Qingyun Tower would only send people to support unless the scale of the beast tide exceeded control, or the Nascent Soul-level monster clan appeared.

"I didn't expect that it would be Elder Zhou who came here, but I didn't expect him to come from afar."

When Zheng Wenshan saw Chu Chen, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized it with a smile on his face.

"Elder Zhou."

Taoist Yunze and the other two also bowed their hands in salute.

"I've met three fellow Taoists."

Chu Chen returned the gift.

"I have heard that Elder Zhou likes fine wine. Recently, Pindao got a pot of Peach Blossom Wine to wash his heart. I also invited Elder Zhou to Pindao's cave to taste it."

Master Linggan opened his mouth to invite.

"The beast tide may start at any time. It is inconvenient for me to leave the air-suppressing battleship. Why don't the three fellow Taoists board the ship to talk about it?"

Chu Chen smiled.

"good."

Zheng Wenshan and the other three looked at each other and agreed.

Then, the three of them entered the air-suppressing warship and discussed how to deal with the beast tide while tasting fine wine.

Two hours later, Zheng Wenshan and the other three left the Zhenkong warship, while Chu Chen stayed on the Zhenkong warship and did not enter Fufengfang City.
