Chapter 150 Breaking Through the Formation

"Song Linfang failed to condense the infant, and died?"

In the Jinguan Pavilion, Jia Pingjian asked with some surprise,

"Is this news true?"

The elder Huang Xinhe below replied:

"It is absolutely true. This news was said by Wang Lihua, the formation master of the Wang family who had a personal relationship with Song Linfang.

It has not been spread among the people yet, but it will be known to everyone in Luohe Prefecture in a short time."

Jia Pingjian was a little excited, but his years of practice experience suppressed it.

"Pavilion Master, the Zhigang Palace will be in chaos next. Should I, the Jinguan Pavilion, launch an offensive against its industry?"

In the past hundred years, the strength of the Zhigang Palace and the Jinguan Pavilion has been evenly matched, and there is not much difference between the forces under the two.

But in the past few years when Song Linfang wanted to condense the infant, the Zhigang Palace gathered a large number of independent cultivators and sect cultivators, and its strength grew day by day. The Jinguan Pavilion had no choice but to give up many of its industries.

Now, as the elder of Jinguang Pavilion, Huang Xinhe is thinking about taking back this part of the industry, and has the idea of ​​continuing to occupy the industry of Zhigang Palace.

Jia Pingjian heard this, lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought, stroking the short black beard on his chin and replied:

"This matter is not urgent. After this news spreads, Zhigang will definitely be in turmoil and its strength will be greatly reduced. It is not too late for our Jinguang Pavilion to wait for it to be in chaos for a while before taking action."

"Besides, the news from the Wang family may not be accurate."

"What do you think?" Huang Xinhe asked in shock.

Jia Pingjian nodded slightly:

"I am worried that there is a fraud. When dealing with the possible Nascent Soul cultivators, it involves our Jinguang Pavilion's Taoist lineage, and we must not be careless.

Pass the order down, the disciples of the sect should not conflict with Zhigang Palace. Withdraw the forces and see how Zhigang Palace reacts first."

Huang Xinhe bowed his head and saluted: "Respect the order of the Pavilion Master!"

·······

On the other side, Zhigang Palace also learned the news that Song Linfang failed to condense the Nascent Soul.

"Master, how could it be?"

Zhuang Yao looked ahead, with a little emptiness in her eyes.

The worst situation has occurred. Although she was mentally prepared for it, she still felt caught off guard when it really came.

"Sister, it's not good. The Jindan elders in the palace are meeting to decide on the new palace master,"

Shi Peng rushed in from outside the house and said anxiously.

Zhuang Yao smiled miserably: "Choose, choose, what can we do if we can't build a foundation?"

On the other side, in the meeting hall of Zhigang Palace, seven Jindan cultivators gathered together.

Among them were Bu Yajuan, Xu Xianliang, and the two elders Yue and Huang who joined Zhigang Palace at the same time. As for the other three, they were fellow Jindan cultivators invited by Song Linfang to join Zhigang Palace in recent years.

They were named Qu Zhilin, Guan Ri'an, and Chi Yunyou. The first two were in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, and the last one was in the early stage of Jindan.

"You three want to fight for the position of Palace Master after hearing these rumors. Aren't you worried that the Palace Master will come back to settle accounts?"

Xu Xianliang looked at the three people in front of him and said angrily.

Hearing this, Chi Yunyou, who had the lowest cultivation, hesitated.

But the other two were not afraid at all:

"Now our sect is leaderless, and we urgently need to select a Palace Master to suppress the situation.

This move is for the sake of the sect. Even if Palace Master Song knows about it in his grave, how can he blame us, let alone settle accounts."

Hearing this shameless remark, even Bu Yajuan, who has a better temper, frowned.

The two sides argued endlessly, and Xu Xianliang and others ultimately failed to change the trend of the situation.

"I think Elder Bu has the most experience and is the younger sister of Palace Master Song, so he is the most suitable for the position of Palace Master," Xu Xianliang said solemnly.

Guan Ri'an, the other party, shook his head:

"How can the position of the Palace Master be selected based on seniority? If outsiders know about it, wouldn't it be a big joke? In my opinion, the position of the Palace Master should be held by a wise person," he turned slightly to look at his side, "I think Fellow Daoist Qu Zhilin is very good."

Xu Xianliang looked at Qu Zhilin, who was smiling in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

This situation had been rehearsed in Xu Xianliang's mind for many days, and the reactions of the three people were not much different from what he expected.

'It's really a wild wolf that can't be tamed. It's unwise for the Palace Master to invite these three people into the palace! '

"Since fellow Daoists have objections to this, why don't we vote according to the usual practice?"

"Vote?"

Xu Xianliang looked at the four people on his side, and then saw the three people on the other side, and was confused.

But Guan Ri'an, who was present, had already spoken first, nominating Qu Zhilin as the Palace Master, and Chi Yunyou also echoed him.

In desperation, Xu Xianliang could only nominate Bu Yajuan.

When the two looked at the remaining elders Yue and Huang, the other two said:

"We give up!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xianliang and Bu Yajuan's faces changed drastically.

"Have you two forgotten the spiritual contract signed with Palace Master Song?"

The elder surnamed Yue shook his head indifferently:

"We have not betrayed Zhigang Palace, so how can we violate the contract?"

What he said was right. Giving up does not mean betrayal. The other party just stood by and watched the struggle in the palace without doing anything.

But the current situation of Zhigang Palace is enough to make it irreparable even if they give up.

Bu Yajuan looked up at the three people who forced the palace and found that they all showed a smile of success.

"It's ridiculous. How can a cultivator who has not mastered the sect's main technique "Forging Gang Method" be qualified to compete for the position of Palace Master."

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the three people were restrained instantly.

Xu Xianliang quickly agreed:

"What my friend said makes sense."

Qu Zhilin and the other three wanted to say something more, but Bu Yajuan already waved her sleeves:

"This matter ends here. If the three of you want to compete for the position of palace master, you should first pass the test, obtain the inheritance of "Forging Gang Method" and advance to the third level.

The meeting is over! "

After saying this, he left calmly.

Xu Xianliang also followed, and when he left, he gave Yue and Huang a cold look.

What I saw was that I was extremely flustered.

Leaving the five people present, Guan Ri'an asked Qu Zhilin repeatedly:

"Fellow Daoist Qu, what Bu Yajuan said makes sense, what should we do?"

Qu Zhilin also looked ugly. He joined Gang Palace because he valued the "Forging Gang Method". However, after all these years, Song Linfang had no intention of teaching the complete method to him.

Instead, let him go to the inheritance hall to obtain it based on his own skills.

At present, Qu Zhilin has only achieved the first level, and his practice has not yet been completed, let alone the higher levels of the second and third levels.

Now this has actually become an obstacle to his ambition to become the Lord of Gang Palace.

"Complete the test, hum!"

He looked back at Yue and Huang:

"It has been many years since you two have joined Gang Palace. What level has the "Forging Gang Method" reached?"

The two looked at each other, and the elder Huang replied:

"We have only joined Taoist monk Chen Gang for ten or twenty years, and the current "Forging Gang Method" is only at the second level, and we are far away from the third level."

This statement made Qu Zhilin frown:

"Is there any way to speed up your practice?"

"I heard that Wannian Blood Ginseng can promote this technique, but..."

The rarity of the elixir of ten thousand years makes it impossible for monks like Qu Zhilin to use it for first-level or even second-level cultivation. Even for third-level cultivation, it is too extravagant.

Moreover, with his wealth and channels, there is not much hope of finding a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng.

"Should we just give up?"

Qu Zhilin's eyes flickered.

The spiritual contract signed when he entered the sect prevented him from betraying the Gang Palace. Now he can only resort to internal fighting.

However, the road to internal fighting is not feasible now.

······

Beside the Luohe River, Wang Lihua looked at the direction Song Linfang was going and asked:

"Senior Song is planning to find that Master Wei?"

"Exactly, I succeeded in condensing the infant in this trip, and Zhigang Palace will definitely become the number one Yuanying sect in Luohe Prefecture. It just so happens that the sect is short of a Zhenzong Alchemist..."

Seeing that it seemed to be soliciting, Wang Lihua said:

"Wei Zhong is indeed very skilled in elixirs. Even my Wang family is attracted by him. But he joined the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and became a guest minister many years ago.

Moreover, there has been no precedent of joining any force in the past hundred years. The senior's trip may be in vain. "

"Haha, this moment is no different than before. The Nascent Soul cultivator comes to the door in person, how can the other party not give him face? At worst, I will use some small tricks at that time."

Song Linfang was full of confidence, and Wang Lihua stopped talking and followed her to escape towards Qingbo Island.

······

Wei Zhong had no way of knowing about the farce in Zhigang Palace and Song Linfang's thoughts, but the news from his servants was enough to surprise him.

"Song Linfang is dead?"

Wei Zhong was surprised when he saw the news from Zou Ruiyuan.

A few days ago, he thought that Song Linfang had a high probability of succeeding in breaking through the Nascent Soul, but now that he had received such news, Wei Zhong was caught off guard.

"Wang Lihua of the Wang family said it himself, and there are photos to prove it. If Wang Lihua is not staying well in Yunzhou City, why is he coming to Luohe Mansion at this time?"

Wei Zhong asked doubtfully.

"It is said that it was Peng Susu who asked the other party to come here to help stabilize the situation in Zhigang Palace."

"What about Wang Lihua?"

Zou Ruiyuan shook his head:

"After he appeared in Luohe Mansion, he disappeared and completely lost his trace."

Wei Zhong rubbed his eyebrows and planned to expel Zou Ruiyuan and go to Yuelan City to find out the truth.

But suddenly there was a panic in his consciousness, and he immediately flew up and waved his sleeves loudly:

"Who broke into my Qingbo Island?"

With a slight movement of his fingertips, the island protection array and the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation were simultaneously activated.

Five phantoms appeared, and a sense of murder spread throughout the island. Everyone on Ling Island was extremely vigilant when they saw this situation.

Even Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua, who were in seclusion, came out of seclusion, flew behind Wei Zhong, and looked outside the formation with solemn expressions.

Wei Zhong clenched the silver thumb in his hand and communicated with the five-color puppets in the formation, ready to face the enemy at any time.

‘The person coming here is definitely not Danjie, otherwise he wouldn’t have disturbed the formation so much. He must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. ’

Wei Zhong mentally counted the Nascent Soul cultivators he had met, and the only one who had a slight conflict with him was the Blood Sea True Lord.

But this is Luohe Mansion, close to Yunzhou City, the core of Zhengdao Realm, how could the other party get here.

‘Who is it? ’

Wei Zhongtong looked at the five-color puppet, but he could only see a mass of mist, not the figure of the monk inside.

At the same time, Song Linfang was also surprised. She looked at the formation in front of her and said:

"Puppet formation? Isn't this the inheritance in the secret realm? How could Wei Zhong know this method?"

The crisis deep in her memory began to flash, and Song Linfang seemed to have returned to the moment when she led the elder disciples in the palace to explore the secret realm.

His heart was beating rapidly, and he clutched his chest tightly. His breathing became rapid, and there were drops of sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this, Wang Lihua quickly asked:

"Senior Song?"

The latter took two deep breaths and managed to calm down, and the external panic gradually disappeared.

‘The Wang family’s elixir really has great side effects. After a few months of condensing the infant, it still hasn’t been able to completely escape from the inner demon calamity. ’

After Song Linfang calmed down, she looked at the five figures in front of her, each holding a sword, a knife, a whip, a hammer, and a stick.

“A third-level middle-grade puppet, and five third-level middle-grade magic weapons. This fellow Daoist Wei is really extravagant.”

Thinking of Wei Zhong’s identity as a guest of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Song Linfang already knew the source of the formation in front of her.

But Song Linfang just thought that Wei Zhong had exchanged this formation from Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and never thought that the puppets and even the formation were cast by him.

“However, the quality of the third-level middle-grade, even if it is blessed by the formation and raised to the level of the late stage of the elixir, is not my opponent.”

Song Linfang was promoted to the Nascent Soul, and at this moment, he was full of confidence and wanted to crush into the formation.

Wang Lihua was shocked when he saw this:

"Wait a minute, Senior Song, don't do it."

Song Linfang didn't know the importance of the inheritance of "Shenyin Jue", but Wang Lihua, as a member of the Wang family, knew it.

This inheritance is extremely valued by the family. In the past few years, only a few people have been taught by the family.

Others only know the name of the technique and that it is related to the puppet technique, and nothing else.

Even the puppets made according to this inheritance are rarely leaked.

The same is true for the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. Wei Zhong can actually get this kind of puppet and the matching array. His status in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce must be not low, and he may even have the background of the Chamber of Commerce's Yuanying Elder.

Thinking of this, Wang Lihua knew that he could not offend Wei Zhong, and hurriedly stopped Song Linfang and told him the whole story.

After hearing this, the latter also stopped what he was doing and frowned:

"So, my invitation to her to join Zhigang Palace has been cancelled before I even said it?"

With Song Linfang's strength and status, she cannot compete with Yunji Chamber of Commerce for people.

"At present, it seems to be true," Wang Lihua replied.

With Wei Zhong, who has the Yuanying background of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Zhigang Palace, a new Yuanying force, naturally will not have the slightest attraction to Wei Zhong.

"Forget it!"

Song Linfang sighed, put down the hand that was about to cast the spell, and moved her lips slightly, sending a voice to the formation.

"I just want to say hello to fellow Daoist Wei, what is the meaning of you launching such a killing formation?"

Wei Zhong heard this familiar voice and couldn't help wondering:

"Song Linfang?"

Looking through the puppet's perspective, he saw the other party's figure, it was indeed Song Linfang, and Wang Lihua was accompanying her.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Song, no, now you should call me Senior Song. Just now it was the formation's autonomous reaction, so please forgive me if I offended you."

Both of them lied with their eyes open, leaving room for both sides to maneuver.
