Clones suffer, they're either causing trouble or on their way to cause trouble.

The Haiyue Fairy Island is shaped like a crescent moon.
It is estimated to be as big as the two inland areas.
In the middle is a raised platform-like plateau.
The Lu family built Haiyue City on this plateau.
Zheng Sanjin was boating and saw many fishermen fishing along the coast of Haiyue Island.
Some monks were groping on the seabed.
Calm sea and gentle sea breeze.
"This is a great place for fishing."
When we arrived at the dock, a young monk quickly came up to us.
"Senior, is this your first time visiting Kaiyue Island?"
"How did you figure that out?"
The young monk had such an expression, "Senior, you don't know that those seniors usually go high and low and will drive the flying boat to stop at the City on the Clouds."
"The city on the clouds?"
The young monk smiled, turned around and pointed to a sea of clouds in the distance behind him.
"This is what our Sea Moon Fairy Island calls Sea Moon City. It is usually located in that cloud and mist."
"It's a good name indeed."
"Senior, do you need me to be your guide and introduce you to the Sea Moon Fairy Island? It only costs twenty spirit stones."
"For some reason, there have been fewer monks coming from outside recently. Even the seniors in the city have been going out less often."
A spirit crystal appeared in Zheng Sanjin's hand. It was actually a spirit stone, which he did not have on him.
"I'll open a shop for you and take me to this city on the clouds."
Looking at the spirit crystal in his hand, which was flashing with charming halo, the young monk opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Take it."
The young monk has reached the second level of Qi chain and has been working as a guide at this seaside pier for quite some time.
He has low cultivation and weak strength. He is not even as good as some ordinary old fishermen near the sea. He dare not go to faraway islands, so he can only rely on this to earn some spirit stones to buy resources for cultivation.
Even the twenty spirit stones were given to him because he saw that this senior was quite imposing, so he steeled his heart and opened his mouth to ask for it. It really cut off his cultivation resources for a while.
Zheng Sanjin did not take the spirit crystal seriously, but for this young cultivator, if he kept waiting at the pier by the sea to serve as a guide for the cultivators who came to Haiyue Island for the first time, it might take him decades to earn that much money.
"Thank you for the reward, senior."
The young monk respectfully bowed to Zheng Sanjin, who gladly accepted it.
Along the way, the young monk tried his best to tell Zheng Sanjin all the interesting things he had heard.
The flying boat was moving slowly, and there were several small towns on the way, which should be the gathering place of ordinary people and low-level cultivators.
The City on the Clouds, it sounds like a beautiful name, but it also expresses their most simple mentality, which is that it is out of reach.
"Senior, the checkpoint ahead is the entrance to the city. There are gatekeepers from the Lu family there. If this is your first time in the Immortal City, you will need to go through some formalities."
Zheng Sanjin slowly landed the flying boat and stopped it in front of the checkpoint. There was a formation near the checkpoint.
He had just seen it in the air. It should be that several checkpoints surrounding the main city were protected by third-order formations.
The Lu family really built their base camp like an iron barrel, so I think the defense of Haiyue City’s formation must be strong as well.
"Where did the monk come from?"
Zheng Sanjin did not say anything in response to the questions from the Lu family cultivator, but instead revealed a hint of Nascent Soul aura, which directly startled the Jindan cultivator who was in charge of the checkpoint.
A slightly fat monk ran out of the checkpoint quickly and saluted Zheng Sanjin.
"Lu family monk, Lu Jing greets the senior."
"I wonder if you are..."
"I am a wandering cultivator who has traveled far and wide. I found the scenery here very appealing and decided to stay for a while. I hope you can help me."
"It's convenient. You can stay here. I'll make arrangements for you."
Yuanying Zhenjun must be respected no matter where he is.
Some forces in other places might be a little wary, but here, in the Lu family’s base camp, they are very welcome.
Lu Jing waved away the young monk who was leading the way and personally took Zheng Sanjin to fly to Haiyue City.
The young monk was shocked for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at the flying boat going away and muttered to himself.
"I actually served as a guide for a Yuanying Zhenjun for half a day."
The two people on the flying boat had a pleasant conversation. One wanted to obtain some information about Haiyue City, and the other wanted to explore the detailed origins of Zheng Sanjin.
"Haiyue City is one of the few fairy islands with good formation defenses that I have seen along the way."
Lu Jing's eyes moved, "Senior, do you have any research on battle formations?"
Zheng Sanjin stood proudly on the deck of the flying boat, with his hands behind his back, looking very proud.
"Of course, I am a fourth-level formation master, and I have made some achievements in formation."
"Senior, you are actually a master of formations. I am so sorry for your disrespect. After we enter the city, I will report to the family and an elder from the family will come to receive you in person."
"Oh, sorry for disturbing you. I like quietness. Please help me find a quiet place to enjoy the scenery."
"Don't worry, I will arrange it for you personally, but I must report your status. Otherwise, it would be my dereliction of duty and my Lu family's neglect of you. It is not in line with my family tradition. I hope you can understand."
If Zheng Sanjin didn't know some details about the Haiyue Lu family, he would really think that the Lu family was pretty good.
According to information given to him by his subordinates, many Nascent Soul cultivators in Haiyue City have met with accidents.
And most of them are Yuanying cultivators from outside and have no great background.
Some of them went out on adventures and never returned, some of them drowned while searching for treasure in the deep sea, and the most outrageous ones were those who died of anger during quarrels.
The entire fortune of each Yuanying Zhenjun was left in Haiyue City and in the Lu family without any explanation.
The breakthrough room in Haiyue City is the cheapest in the entire Tianqing Sect sea area. At the same time, it is also the place with the most breakthrough failures.
Especially for cultivators who have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, those who have broken through to the Golden Core stage are only slightly below the average level.
The water in Haiyue City is very deep.
So the eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother. Zheng Sanjin is not a good cultivator, and the Lu family is not a good thing either.
Soon Zheng Sanjin was led to a small courtyard in the mountains, overlooking half of Haiyue City, with the blue sea as the limit of his sight.
This shows that the person who arranged it put a lot of thought into it.
After Lu Jing made all the arrangements, he rushed to the Lu family mansion.
The mansion was built on the highest mountain near Haiyue City.
Each of the unique small courtyards is exquisite and luxurious.
There are all kinds of magical flowers and plants in the courtyard.
"Why are you here?"
"Elder, I just received a Yuanying Zhenjun from outside."
"An outside Yuanying Zhenjun?"
"Exactly. According to him, he is a fourth-level formation master."
The elder fell into deep thought.
There is something wrong outside now, and all the Jindan cultivators who went to investigate never came back.
As they were unclear about the situation, they did not take the risk of leaving the island to investigate, and they thought that it was the foreign pirates who did it.
Who knows how powerful the pirates are? What if they just want to lure these Nascent Souls out?
It is not easy to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
At this time, a cultivator who claimed to be a fourth-level formation master appeared in Haiyue City, and he couldn't help but think more.
"Go and invite Master Chu Yangming. I'll go myself. I'll go with him to meet the master."
At this moment, Zheng Sanjin was having an open-air barbecue in the yard, drinking a few glasses of wine, and waiting for the arrival of the Lu family's Nascent Soul.
A fortress is most easily breached from within.
So his plan was very simple, to capture whoever came, and then use threats and inducements to lure him into the core area of the Lu family.
He doesn't have the level to destroy a large formation. After all, he is not a real formation master, but he has formation plates, a lot of formation plates.
After entering the Lu family, he directly threw a few formation disks and broke the formation from the inside.
The rest is simple, just one word: reckless!
As a sword cultivator, whoever wants to bully you, is qualified to talk to you if he can stand under the flying sword.
