When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 85: Doom

Xi Yunting was angry.

Everyone in the Chongxuan Sect knew that Xi Yunting was more eager to win by his own ability during the battle. It would not be a wise move to use tricks to anger Xi Yunting. He would let you know immediately what it feels like to be entangled by bad luck.

Following Xi Yunting's emotions, the vast and glorious aura around him, which gave people a positive and sunny feeling, suddenly changed and turned into a dark and cold evil spirit.

The heavy sword in Xi Yunting's hand shook, and a buzzing sound was heard. Layers of sword shadows appeared on the sword, forming a circle of sword formations circling around him. Xi Yunting's attacks became more and more reckless. Although the opponent could be hit by a sudden disaster that came out of nowhere at any time, he still did not dare to be careless.

Although he was carrying a powerful detoxification pill, any distraction at this moment would lead to his defeat and death. The effect of the poisonous smoke had already appeared, and Xi Yunting's true energy began to slow down, and his internal organs were in great pain.

The sword formation that was besieging the Nascent Soul cultivator slowed down, and a clear gap appeared. The Nascent Soul cultivator was proud of the effectiveness of the poisonous smoke. He had used this poisonous smoke to kill countless unfortunate enemies in the past. After discovering the gap, the Nascent Soul cultivator rushed over without thinking.

Because both of them knew how to levitate, the battlefield had moved from Chen Xiao's courtyard to a house far away. This house was also a small courtyard, and only a single alchemist lived there in seclusion. This person was so focused that he didn't notice the chaos in Hanshan City at all. Even the continuous sounds that came just now were unconsciously ignored.

In his furnace was a new elixir that he was researching. Because the formula had not yet been finalized, many reactions were unknown, so he had to be alert at all times. He had just opened the lid of the furnace, added a herb, and closed it. He heard a strange sound from the furnace, his face changed, and he ran out of the room quickly.

With a loud bang, the alchemy furnace exploded and the heavy lid flew up. It hit the face of the Yuanying cultivator squarely. The worst thing was that as the lid flew closer, it was mixed with an indescribable smell. The Yuanying cultivator felt dizzy after just one sniff.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who was hit by the "unexpected disaster" was killed without any suspense in the siege of the heavy sword formation. When it comes to luck, Xi Yunting has never lost. From childhood to adulthood, although he always makes people around him unlucky, his own luck has always been good.

Xi Yunting landed on the ground, took out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into his mouth. The alchemist who was lying on the ground to avoid the explosion probably smelled the smell of the pill and looked up reflexively. Xi Yunting glanced at him coldly and said, "The Zhong family is stirring up civil unrest in Hanshan City. If you don't want to be involved, leave the city for a while."

The alchemist was still in a daze, and finally said thank you after a while. After Xi Yunting neutralized the poisonous smoke, he stood up and walked along the street to find Chen Xiao and the other two.

Following the straight road, he almost reached the top of the mountain but still didn't see anyone. Xi Yunting thought the sound he heard couldn't be farther away than here, so he turned around and looked around, and finally saw three people in another direction, at a dead end near the mountain.

Tong Nuonuo was lying on his back, his injuries were the most serious, and the burns were the most difficult to deal with. Chen Xiao and Du Rong were carefully moving him to a clean place without touching his wounds.

Xi Yunting appeared at this time. Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting looked at each other. They didn't have any injuries, so they knew everything should go well. Chen Xiao didn't ask much, just said: "Nuo Nuo blocked a spell from that Jindan period and was seriously injured." Chen Xiao was a little worried. I don't know if such a serious burn can be completely healed in the world of immortal cultivation. What if Tong Nuonuo has scars on his face in the future?

Xi Yunting said, "I have some medicine here that works quickly. Give it to him first. I'll do some special treatment later."

Xi Yunting himself had excellent dual spiritual roots, gold and fire, and was most familiar with the injuries caused by fire damage. Therefore, among the various elixirs he always carried with him, there were some that were specifically designed to grow skin and heal injuries.

The medicine was first given to Tong Nuonuo to take orally and then applied externally. Tong Nuonuo, who had been strong and endured the pain without crying out, finally relaxed her tense body.

Although it was temporarily dealt with, Tong Nuonuo had to find a safe place to settle down immediately. However, at this time, fighting was happening everywhere in the city, and there was almost no place that could be called absolutely safe. Xi Yunting thought about it and took the three people to the City Lord's Mansion.

Because of the secret deployment of personnel in advance, the City Lord's Mansion was the first to end the battle. Han Zongguan put the most effort here, and coupled with the City Lord's Mansion's own defense coefficient, the Zhong family's team attacked, and most of them were killed in a few rounds. Leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the direct descendants of the Zhong family led by the team retreated in panic.

When Xi Yunting and his men came over, they didn't even bother to clean up the traces of the battle. The bodies were simply moved to an invisible place, and the bloodstains, clothing fragments, weapons, and magic tool fragments were all over the ground. People were coming and going in the City Lord's Mansion, reporting news from all over to General Manager Han.

Manager Han hadn't closed his eyes. Even though he was at the Out-of-Body Stage, his face showed some fatigue, and bloodshot eyes. Seeing Xi Yunting, Manager Han took the initiative to greet him: "Fellow Daoist Xi, have you found your companions?" At this point, he apologized and said, "There are so many things to deal with. If I had remembered to ask, I wouldn't have lost track of them."

Xi Yunting said, "We have successfully found them. However, they were attacked by the vassal of the Zhong family just now, and one of our fellow Taoists was seriously injured. There is chaos everywhere in the city right now, so I was wondering if we could temporarily place them in your house?"

Manager Han smiled and said, "Of course you can." After that, Manager Han ordered someone beside him to take Chen Xiao and the other two waiting outside to settle down, but he kept Xi Yunting to talk. Manager Han said solemnly, "The Zhong family is coming with great force this time. The chaos in the commercial district is just a cover to tie down the city guards. In fact, other important attack locations are here, Zhishi Hall, and the portal checkpoint."

Xi Yunting thought for a moment and said, "Attacking the City Lord's Mansion will make the City Lord's faction leaderless. Attacking Zhishi Hall will give us countless resources and equipment. Blocking the portal will block the way for City Lord Han Yuanchun and Chief Han Yuanzhi to return."

Manager Han liked talking to smart people like Xi Yunting. He nodded in appreciation, "That's right. After the attack on the City Lord's Mansion failed, the Zhong family used all their manpower and resources to take down Zhishitang, hoping to prolong the civil strife. However, Zhishitang is not just about the Han and Zhong families, there are several other families involved. These people either remain neutral or stand on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, and only a few have sided with the Zhong family."

Xi Yunting said: "Master Zhong is short-sighted, and only cares about resources and magical equipment. If we concentrate our efforts on conquering the portal and blocking the way back for City Lord Han, we will really drag the Han family into a long-term battle."

Manager Han nodded and said, "That's right. So I have something to ask of you right now."

After all, the other party was a senior in the Out-of-Body Stage, so Xi Yunting quickly said, "I don't deserve it. Manager Han, please speak."

Manager Han said: "Although the portal is more important than Zhishi Hall, we cannot allow the Zhong family to occupy the magic tools and equipment in Zhishi Hall. Although I have replaced the elite of the city guards with vassals in advance, after all, I have limited manpower and can only defend one place."

Xi Yunting understood: "Manager Han wants me to go to the portal to help in the battle."

Manager Han nodded and said, "Only Daoist Xi can help the Han family in this matter. If Daoist Xi is willing to help, the Han family will reward you generously afterwards."

Xi Yunting thought for a moment. Manager Han was begging him with a humble attitude, not for Xi Yunting himself, but for the Chongxuan Sect behind him. It was certainly possible for Xi Yunting to represent Chongxuan, but Xi Yunting had to consider the pros and cons.

In this civil war, if Chongxuan stood behind the City Lord's Mansion, the situation would immediately become different. At least those neutral families would no longer stand by and watch.

This matter is not without benefits for Chongxuan Sect. If Hanshan City, which controls the Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm, is willing to stand with Chongxuan Sect, the sect's disciples will have another place for low-level disciples to train. Moreover, Chongxuan Sect cannot sit idly by because of the deep mountain spiritual village in the mountains near Hanshan City, where at least twenty high-grade spiritual root talents are born in every generation and one extremely talented person is born every hundred years.

This is a perfect opportunity to intervene. Although it is General Manager Han who is here now, even if things change after City Lord Han comes back, with a preliminary trend as a start, it will be easier to discuss next.

Xi Yunting agreed readily. Manager Han was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to pass on the order for the people at the checkpoint to temporarily obey Xi Yunting's orders.

Originally, Manager Han asked for help from the other party, just as Xi Yunting judged, in order to use the tiger skin to raise a banner. He used the Chongxuan Sect to intimidate the Zhong family and force the neutral family to make an immediate decision.

Unexpectedly, after Xi Yunting arrived, he did not immediately reveal his identity as a member of the Chongxuan Sect, but instead rushed to the outpost that had just been captured by the Zhong family. He did not shout loudly, but just floated in the air silently, facing the portal.

After standing for a quarter of an hour, Xi Yunting retreated and asked the Han family, which consisted of a few elite soldiers and most of the vassals, to attack. Despite their doubts, the Han family's troops still obeyed his orders and attacked.

However, the other party seemed to be under some kind of evil spell. First, the defense of the checkpoint seemed to be over-consumed and lacked maintenance for a long time, and suddenly failed. When the Han family rushed in, the Zhong family always made various incredible mistakes, allowing the Han family to quickly gain the upper hand.

At this time, Xi Yunting came forward as a member of the Chongxuan Sect and asked the Zhong family to give up resistance and surrender immediately. After hesitating for a moment, the team, whose combat power had dropped significantly and who were isolated and helpless, surrendered. This battle, which Han Zongguan originally thought would last at least one or two hours, ended quickly in less than half an hour.
