Chapter 386: The Battle Is All About Logistics
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. ♬ ♦ ♦♧
Before entering the Snow Palace Immortal City just now, he was quite confident in his disguise skills, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
There are too many experts in the world of immortality.
It is impossible for a late Yuanying monk to see through his disguise technique.
In addition, there were many monks coming and going in the Snow Palace Immortal City, why did this cultivator come to him alone?
Shen Lian has encountered many coincidences, and he has even arranged many coincidences in the past.
"The goods have arrived, 80,000 high-grade spiritual stones, no less."
Seeing that Shen Lian did not respond, the old man's face gradually turned cold, and a sharp aura was released from his body, and the sword light seemed to be released from his pores.
He has killed all the people, so how can the business be terminated?
"Who is this person? He is actually being targeted by Senior Cui."
"It looks like a stranger."
"If you are targeted by Senior Cui, you can only lose money and avoid disaster. There is no other way."
"Senior Cui's business has never been terminated, unless the buyer also..."
Many monks in the void around him were paying attention and began to whisper. But as soon as the monk who spoke fell down, he felt that his whole body was hit by boundless sword energy.
Ball after ball of sharp sword light exploded in the sky accompanied by blood flowers.
At this time, the remaining people retreated in fear, and no one dared to say anything anymore.
Some people sneered and cursed secretly in their hearts. It seemed that these talkative people were not familiar with the rules of the Snow Palace Fairy City. How could Senior Cui allow others to gossip when doing business?
"Fellow Taoist, I've captured my face for you. I can only exchange it but not return it."
The words were light, but there was no hint of threat at all.
Shen Lian was a little annoyed. He had just arrived and had offended everyone. Could it be that he had a disaster-prone constitution?
The middle-stage Nascent Soul monk, who was caught in the hands of the so-called Senior Cui, moved his eyes in horror, while other parts of his body were completely imprisoned, and he sobbed in his throat.
The old man slapped the monk in his hand on the face and squeezed it with his hands, looking like he was bragging.
As for this cultivation background, it seems to be the least important thing.
This old man is Senior Cui. According to Shen Lian's perception, his aura is indeed very superficial. His realm is stuck at the late stage of Nascent Soul. There is nothing found in other aspects.
"Dislike your low strength?"
With a 'clang' sound, the sound of the sword emerged from the mid-stage Nascent Soul monk, and then his soul was shattered to pieces.
Cui Shaoqing threw the body out casually, "It's okay, as long as you open the mouth of Jincheng, I will catch you in the late Yuanying stage and Yuanying Dzogchen."
"The one who just died is worth 40,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
"Take out the spiritual stone."
A rough palm stretched out in front of Shen Lian.
Talking about it, Shen Lian now had the idea of having a dog in his heart. He could imagine encountering all kinds of things in the Snow Palace Fairy City, but he did not expect that the things he encountered would be so weird.
For a moment, the two looked at each other.
"It's easy to say, spiritual stones are not a problem."
The next moment, Shen Lian pointed to the top of the towering snow mountain at the end of the Snow Palace Immortal City. There was a huge palace standing on the top of the mountain, which was the most powerful Nascent Soul force in this area.
"The Nascent Soul Dzogchen inside is pretty good. He is the only one. Do you dare?"
Seeing the sudden look of amusement on Shen Lian's face, Cui Shaoqing frowned.
Chen Jintao, the contemporary master of the Snow Palace, killed another top Nascent Soul and took over the Snow Palace forty-three years ago. According to external rumors, his combat power can rival three or four Nascent Soul Dzogchen monks of the same level.
Before Shen Lian came, he had naturally figured out some things about the Snow Palace.
The reason why the major forces in the Yueling Xiu Immortal World change frequently is because the major forces want to compete for the entrance order.
For a long time, the default competition rule that has been formed is that if you want to compete for the entry order, you need to have a piece of territory on Yueling Continent.
But deeper information cannot be found in a short time. It can only be obtained by integrating into a circle of the same level or even higher. Otherwise, why would he come to Snow Palace Fairy City?
The master of the Snow Palace, Shen Lian, the strongest man in the Snow Palace, looked at Cui Shaoqing in front of him with a half-smile.
He wanted to see if the old man in front of him dared to take action.
"That requires extra money."
"I said spirit stones are not a problem." Shen Lian waved his hand.
After the words fell, Cui Shaoqing flew towards the top of the snow mountain. A bright sword light formed inside and outside the city, reflecting on Shen Lian's face.
Looking at Cui Shaoqing's back, Shen Lian couldn't help but frown. This old man couldn't be seriously ill.
…
"The aura on this cultivator is extremely concealed. I wonder if he is the cultivator who fell into the void crack in the North Continent a few days ago."
"The aura of this cultivator has never appeared before, and the concealment method is also very mysterious. It is the strongest cultivator that you and I have sensed in so many years. Only those who are strong can board the ferry boat. None of the previous ones succeeded, just for one reason. The strength is too weak.”
"In the past few days, only a group of monks have fallen from the North Continent. Maybe they are from other places, and they can be considered as copied by us."
In the sea of Cui Shaoqing's spiritual thoughts, a center line ran across the middle, and each of them sat cross-legged with a small spiritual figure.
The two villains said they should separate, but their feet were connected together like tree roots.
One of them looked sad, the other looked smiling.
The sad-faced Shen Nian villain frowned, "But this is too coincidental. We were asked to kill Chen Jintao when we came up. Isn't it too smooth?"
"You are worrying too much. Every monk who comes to Yueling Continent now is not here for the Order of Entrance. If you want to snatch the Order of Entrance, you must occupy a force."
"Besides, we are paid for the job. Chen Jinshou was killed by this person. What does it have to do with me, Cui Shaoqing?"
"You are too impulsive. Since this cultivator came here for the advancement order and came to the Snow Palace Fairy City, he will inevitably clash with Chen Jinshou. You and I can just hide behind and do it quietly."
"I just wanted to confirm the strength of the junior at close range. I didn't expect him to let me kill Chen Jinshou. Doesn't this further prove that he is targeting the power of the Snow Palace?"
The smiling little man of the mind didn't care. "It's just a Yuanying chess piece. How much waves can he make if he is left alone? Kill Chen Jinshou and support him to occupy the Snow Palace. We hide behind the scenes. No matter how strong the little Yuanying is, can it transcend the control of the deity? ”
The sad-faced spirit nodded, "We have failed five times. Can we do it this time?"
"Shut up. You look so miserable every time before we even start."
The smiling spirit scolded coldly, "I should have completely cut off your negative thoughts at the beginning. This cultivator's aura is the strongest I have sensed in the past 1,800 years. You don't believe in yourself, but you don't believe in the sense of the Dutian True Spirit."
"I warn you that if you hold me back again, don't blame me for completely sealing you up."
"This cultivator is very strong at the Nascent Soul level. I don't care if he fell from the cracks in the void of Beilu or came from other continents. He must not fall into the hands of other old guys."
At the same time.
A cultivator with a young appearance and a silver spear on his shoulder also entered the city leisurely.
...
And Shen Lian looked at the top of the snowy mountain, and a series of spiritual bans flashed up and turned into a sky full of wind and snow.
The monks in all directions in the city all stared at the top of the snow mountain, but no one spoke. Those who wanted to speak were also scolded by the monks who were traveling with them.
…
"The Palace Master has fallen!"
Along with the shouts, the old man was seen flying out from the top of the snow mountain with a fat figure in his hand.
At this moment.
The black and khaki runes around Shen Lian intertwined, forming a series of escape patterns that wrapped him up, and then he plunged headfirst into the ice and mud below.
Cui Shaoqing, who was holding Chen Jinshou, had a smile on his face, and his cheeks swelled up like a toad.
"Looking for death!"
"Do you think you can run away?"
A sword light dragged a long sword light across the sky, first flying hundreds of miles south, then turning a big bend in the air and heading north.
…
Stepping on the flying sword, Cui Shaoqing's eyes swept across the four directions like lightning. As his eyes opened and closed, two sword lights fell from the sky, cutting through the thick ice and frozen soil below.
"You are the best escape artist I have seen in all these years."
"However, I have never stopped doing business halfway."
On the Beilu Glacier, the sword light was like lightning, constantly tearing through the thick ice layer, and the ice chips in the sky broke through the air.
"Clang" "Clang" "Clang" a series of sharp edges crossed the sky, constantly released from Cui Shaoqing's body. It can be said that wherever his eyes fell, the sword light fell there.
And he stepped in the air, frowning.
"Illusion array!"
Then, he sneered, "It's just an illusion array, break it for me!"
Later, above the endless white glacier, Cui Shaoqing's sword energy was like a dragon, and millions of sword lights rushed out, breaking the thousand-mile glacier below into ice chips.
After a moment, the sound of "crack" and "crack" rang out, and the shattered glacier was like a broken mirror, which rolled back in a breath and turned into an endless glacier.
"Fifth-level illusion array!"
Cui Shaoqing gritted his teeth.
He gently clenched his palm, and a slender ice sword appeared in his hand.
For a moment, the breath in the whole space stagnated.
A winding sword light was swallowed and spit out from the ice sword, and it was like a dragon in an instant, tearing a winding crack in the air, and outside the crack was a snowy sky.
Seeing this, Cui Shaoqing turned into a sword light and rushed out.
"Even the fifth-level illusion array has been made. I was wrong. What else can you do? Show it."
In an instant, the snowflakes falling in the void condensed and turned into small sword shadows. Each sword was attached with a wisp of divine power, covering every corner of this void.
…
"Cui Shaoqing came to the Snow Palace Immortal City 1,800 years ago. He is crazy and murderous. He will kill anyone regardless of their race. He often uses forced buying and selling to obtain high-quality spiritual stones.
No one knows his origins, and he doesn't care about the changes in the power of the Snow Palace. He often sits on the top of the hill in the Snow Palace City.
His strength is in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he has killed three Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators in the past 1,800 years, but they don't know it in secret."
In an iceberg, the ice crystals distorted the light, and Shen Lian's figure merged with the surrounding environment. The relevant information obtained by the Merit Clone from the Snow Palace was imprinted in his perception.
As for other information, there is no more. Cui Shaoqing is an existence that cannot be provoked in the Snow Palace Immortal City.
Looking at the way he casually acted today, you can see how perverse his personality is.
But these superficial information is not of much use to Shen Lian. Cui Shaoqing definitely didn't target him because he looked ordinary.
There are so many people, and there are so many disguised cultivators. Why do you have to ask him if he has shame?
What happened today was actually ridiculous. He entered the Snow Palace Fairy City just to see if he could find out some information about the clam pearls. He didn't expect to run into someone who forced him to buy or sell right away. Things suddenly went beyond his expectations.
In addition to Cui Shaoqing's news, other news that the Merit Clone had inquired about in the Snow Palace Immortal City made Shen Lian very thoughtful.
Since this is the only way to enter the core eighteen continents, it has attracted the gathering of powerful people at the Yuanying level in the entire cultivation world. Most of these cultivators have extremely strong combat power and cannot be judged by their realm.
Because of this, there are more high-level resources.
No news about the clam pearls was obtained, but a rumor was heard that an old ancestor of the God of Transformation raised a clam girl. It is said that the clam girl's cultivation realm has already reached the great perfection of the Yuanying.
It can be said that the Yueling Continent is an enlarged wasteland, and there are more Yuanying gathered here.
If Cui Shaoqing is really in the late Yuanying realm, he really can't get along here.
"Late Yuanying?" Shen Lian sneered.
Although the Five Elements Fantasy Sky Formation is just a fantasy formation, it is the weakest in the same level formation in terms of defense, but Cui Shaoqing can break the fifth-level formation, which is enough to show that he has the fifth-level God of Transformation combat power.
"Chaotic thoughts, incarnation combat power, is it incarnation combat power, or is it incarnation?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure in the Five Elements Illusion Heaven Formation.
The Five Elements Illusion Heaven Formation has poor defense, so he made three layers when he made it. At this moment, Cui Shaoqing, who thought he had broken the illusion array, was only in the second layer of the illusion array.
Even the illusion array needs time to be identified. This kind of strength really doesn't look like incarnation, but the sword that broke the illusion array before has the scope of incarnation.
And looking at the way he looked after the attack, it didn't look like the kind of fatigue after performing a big move. It was obvious that the sword just now was not digested very much.
In this state, it seems very contradictory.
The realm of the late Nascent Soul, slashing out a sword at the level of incarnation.
"Hu."
Shen Lian let out a long breath, a little helpless, just moved to a new place and then this death came out, it really is not quiet at all.
...
In the illusion array.
Cui Shaoqing also found that he was still in the formation. At this moment, he was squinting his eyes and looking around. The sword energy protected his body, and there was no playful look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, even if the deal is not successful, the friendship still exists. It is because I was short-sighted and did not recognize my fellow Daoist. I apologize here."
"We are all wanderers in the world. We can cooperate."
"If you want to occupy the Snow Palace, I can withdraw and move to another place. We are all fighting for the essence of spirit. Fighting before getting on the ferry will only benefit other old guys."
...
"Killing you will just save one old guy."
The ethereal voice sounded in various places in the illusion formation.
Immediately, Cui Shaoqing's eyes swept through every corner like lightning.
"The voice is vague, and there is no way to determine the location."
In the sea of divine thoughts, the two divine thoughts pondered, "Continue to communicate with this person."
...
"Fellow Daoist, we are both injured, and we can only benefit others for nothing. I am willing to make amends for what happened today. How about it?"
As he said, Cui Shaoqing touched his waist, and the green-skinned small gourd hanging on his waist flashed with spiritual light, and a two-inch wide piece of colorful jade appeared, which he placed one by one in the void.
"A piece of colorful jade is used as an apology. Fellow Daoist, please raise your hand, and we will meet again in the future."
You can see a wisp of colorful smoke floating inside the colorful jade, which is full of mysteries.
The aura is similar to the Five Elements Brilliant Pearl in Shen Lian's hand, but the aura is about one percent of the Five Elements Brilliant Pearl.
"Fellow Daoist, a piece of colorful jade is already a lot, are you really going to fight to the death?"
Seeing that there was still no movement in the formation, Cui Shaoqing's expression gradually became cold, and an illusory sword light enveloped him.
How could he know that Shen Lian didn't know what the five-colored jade was used for.
"You are worthy of fighting to the death?"
Then, a cold voice sounded, with a hint of sarcasm.
"Clang!"
In the illusion array, Cui Shaoqing's murderous look burst out, and his figure suddenly disappeared, completely merging with the illusory sword light.
In an instant, a sword light like a dragon cut the illusion array in half.
"It's done."
In one part of the illusion array, Shen Lian's spiritual fire rolled in his hand, repairing the first illusion array that was split before.
At this moment, the merit clone who had heard the news also rushed back, took over the illusion array and began to arrange it, while Shen Lian took back the broken flag of the second illusion array that had just been split and began to repair it again.
An old thing in the late Nascent Soul stage can actually burst out the combat power of the God Transformation level continuously. Although the combat power of this God Transformation level is only that of an ordinary God Transformation, and the power of rules is just the beginning, but two situations appear in one person, this person must have a secret.
…
Ride the sword across the sky, cut through the illusion array, Cui Shaoqing flew to the top of a snowy mountain, then frowned, and the snowflakes in all directions suddenly turned into sword light, rushing in all directions.
Boom!
The snowflake sword energy smashed the nearby snowy mountains, and the sky and earth roared and shook, but ripples appeared above the void, like a lake.
Still in the illusion array.
Cui Shaoqing's face became even uglier. He knew it was an illusion array, but he couldn't break it. This was really annoying.
"Daoyou, don't bother yourself. This is the Wanxuan Illusion Array, which has ten thousand illusions. You can't cut it."
A long voice sounded, with a smile.
At the same time, the Merit clone was outside the illusion array and quickly arranged a new array.
"Ten thousand illusion array?"
Cui Shaoqing's expression changed, but he quickly realized that the ten thousand arrays were probably a trick on him.
"Just try to trick the younger generation with this."
After he finished speaking, Cui Shaoqing transformed himself into a sword again, and the sword light in the illusionary space penetrated the sky and the earth.
"Quick, take back the formation flags."
"Put the new ones in place."
Shen Lian called his left and right arms, one took back the formation flags, the other put down the formation flags, and the family of three was busy and happy.
Continuously displaying the sword skills of the level of transformation, he was now certain that this cultivator was a hidden old monster of transformation.
However, he should have been banned for some reasons.
Because of this, this cultivator's combat power was also banned.
Moreover, it should not be a good thing to continuously exceed the ban to control the sword skills, otherwise, why would a dignified cultivator of transformation pretend to be a grandson.
Because of this, Shen Lian could calmly change the three illusion formations.
...
The sword light fell, and the surrounding void cracked inch by inch. Behind the broken space fragments, there was a vast green forest. In the northern part of Yueling Xiuxian Realm, there was a world of ice and snow, and there was no such vast scene at all.
Damn, they used the ice and snow scene to fool him before, but now they can't even fool him, and clearly tell him that he is trapped in the illusion array.
"The eleventh level."
Landing on the top of the tree, Cui Shaoqing panted, just like an ordinary old man, and his figure became hunched.
Under the robe, his body was like a shriveled bark, peeling off bit by bit, and his breath became more erratic, especially the expression on his face, which kept changing from mourning to indifference, and there was a feeling of being completely torn apart.
"Daoyou, I'm already a turtle in a jar. If you want to kill me or scrape me, just do it directly. Why humiliate me like this."
Cui Shaoqing circled around and put down the sword in his hand.
Seeing Cui Shaoqing's submissive look, Shen Lian was a little speechless. He didn't have the posture of crashing into other people's spirit ships, crushing everyone, and taking away the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Just as he expected, this cultivator had a seal on his body. After performing the sword technique of the God-transforming level for more than ten times in a row, his skin began to peel off, and a smell of decay and rottenness floated out.
The smell of decay was the same as that of the farmer.
Both God-transforming cultivators were rotten. If it was only the farmer, Shen Lian would not have felt anything, but when he met another one, he had to think more.
What kind of evil technique is this? Even the God-transforming cultivator can't stand it.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Shen Lian looked at the graceful figure on the side, only to see that the black skirt on her body had long disappeared. She was replaced with a red-bottomed moon-white patterned skirt, and a semi-transparent gauze dress on the outside. She was fingering her nails and rolled her eyes at him.
There was no need to get a response. Shen Lian was asking himself.
This matter really made him headache.
At this moment, Cui Shaoqing in the illusion array had stopped moving, as if he was struggling with the seal on his body. What was even more bizarre was that there seemed to be some insects swimming under the body of this cultivator, swimming from the back along the neck to the face.
"Ah..."
A hoarse roar came out of Cui Shaoqing's mouth. He hugged his head with both hands, his eyes wide open, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out.
One by one, the earthy yellow runes lit up on his body. These runes were like cloud seals, released from the body.
Cui Shaoqing also curled up into a ball, and the chaotic atmosphere in the sea of mind became more and more turbulent.
"Wuwu... It's over, it's over, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I've said a long time ago that I would find a place to spend the rest of my life, but you insisted on fighting..."
In the sea of mind, the crying face of the little man of mind cried loudly.
"Shut up, shut up, I told you to shut up!"
The other smiling face villain showed a ferocious look, and grabbed the sad face villain with his palm, and slapped the sad face villain with his big hand.
But because the two were connected, the turmoil caused by each slap would be borne by both of them at the same time.
But even so, the smiling face villain still did not stop.
"You useless thing, I should have fought hard to destroy you completely back then."
ps: I will post a big chapter today, and there will be no update in the evening.
