Chapter 41 The Tank Attack (Please read on, please vote!)

It's much faster than before. After all, the efficiency of one placement slot is "2 strands/day", and two slots are "4 strands/day". The third slot is for the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique] and cannot be moved.

Placing the main cultivation technique in both slots doubles the efficiency of his advancement to the second tier, reducing the time from twenty to ten years, which is a significant advantage for him.

After all, the slight improvement in aptitude provided by the "Cold Blood Technique" was crucial to him.

On the day he emerged from seclusion, a talisman was pasted on the isolation barrier of Wang Yu's residence. After reading the information on it, he couldn't help but smile.

"An arm of a second-tier corpse refiner, I didn't expect to actually find it."

Three days later, he went out to keep the appointment.

Meanwhile, in the increasingly dilapidated Xu mansion, the enormous Xu Jiaojiao stood before Su Qingshan. Her squinty eyes, piled high with fat, gleamed with a cold light that was hard for outsiders to detect, and her voice remained sweet and charming.

"Su Lang, your father has been taken away by the Enforcement Hall and there has been no news of him since. Are you sure it was Wang Yu who interfered?"

"nature."

Su Qingshan, looking confident, analyzed the situation logically: "Jiaomei, according to my investigation, the Zhu family in your father-in-law's shop was reported by Wang Yu. He also benefited from it and was noticed by Zhuo Shouqing of the Enforcement Hall."

"Zhu Xiaosun offended the third true disciple of Evil God Peak. He conspired with his grandfather, Manager Zhu, at Xu's Pill Shop to deceive his father-in-law and seize Xu's resources, intending to use spirit stones to atone for his sins."

"This matter was ruined by Wang Yu, and nearly 100,000 spirit stones were swallowed by Zhuo Shouqing. When the true disciple of Evil God Peak found out, he coveted these spirit stones and used the excuse of detaining his father-in-law in order to get a share of the spoils."

"In the end, it's all Wang Yu's fault!"

Su Qingshan's investigation was genuine, and his information sources were accurate, proving that he was indeed capable. However, it was unreasonable to pin the blame on Wang Yu.

But this is the only way out.

Neither Zhuo Shouqing nor the true disciple of Evil God Peak are people that the Xu family and he can afford to offend. They can only blame Wang Yu and hate Wang Yu.

Isn't this a form of self-deception and burying one's head in the sand?

Evil God Peak was already ranked at the bottom in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. Only a true disciple would covet such a sum of spirit stones. Deacon Xu was just unlucky.

By daring to open a pill shop in Evil God's Workshop, he had actually offended the people of Evil God Peak, because the spirit stones he handed over were partly given to the Pill Refining Hall, representing the orthodoxy of the sect.

Secondly, it was handed over to the Xu family of the Fifth Peak [Barbarian Ghost Peak]. This branch of the family were all disciples of Barbarian Ghost Peak, in order to seek their protection.

How could Evil God Peak accept this? It's highly likely that the Zhu family grandfather and grandson were personally instructed by a true disciple of Evil God Peak to swindle resources from Xu's Pill Shop.

Because of cultivating a demonic cultivation technique that her father obtained by chance, Xu Jiaojiao was transformed from a beautiful young girl into an ugly pig. She dared not go out to see people all day long, and her mind was both innocent and twisted.

She is considered naive because she still believes in love and is willing to give Su Qingshan the pills she uses for cultivation to refine, believing that once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will be able to overcome the strange looks from the world and marry her!

She is considered twisted not only because of her bizarre and torturous sexual fetishes, but also because of her strange and perverse personality.

Su Qingshan manipulated Xu Jiaojiao into hating Wang Yu, hoping to obtain secret information about Tantai Chan from Wang Yu and thus seize the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill from her.

But ever since Tantai Chan returned from Tianbao City, many Foundation Establishment cultivators have fallen silent. Even the Alchemy Hall invited Tantai Chan to give lectures to the inner disciples who were learning alchemy.

This greatly deterred all those with ill intentions.

This has a background—this is a consensus!

Therefore, Su Qingshan gave up the opportunity with Tantai Chan and instead wanted to obtain the Foundation Establishment opportunity from his father-in-law. After all, with Xu Jiaojiao around, he could sacrifice his looks and persuade her with words.

While I can't guarantee the quality of a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, there's a good chance of getting a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill like the Blood Reversal Pill, which is a second-best option.

And then... that was it.

With Steward Xu detained, Xu's Pill Shop sealed off, and a huge deficit of nearly 100,000 spirit stones, even if his father-in-law gets out of prison, it will be a problem to prepare Foundation Establishment Pills for Xu Jiaojiao, let alone him, who is not yet his son-in-law.

He hated Wang Yu to the extreme, and used a secret technique to control several outer disciples of the Five Yin Peak, instructing them to ambush Wang Yu and kill him as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, they were all killed in turn. At the critical moment, they manipulated the other's mind and made him reveal the name Xu Jiaojiao, thus clearing themselves of suspicion, which led to today's events.

—Another robbery and murder!

At this moment, Wang Yu felt a deep headache. Following the principle of learning from mistakes, he generally avoided going to remote corners. Today, he had an appointment with an inner disciple from Tian Shi Peak.

As a result, Xu Jiaojiao was encountered near the corpse-raising ground of the [Heavenly Corpse Workshop].

The corpse-raising ground is equipped with a Yin-gathering formation, covering an extremely vast area. It is located on the outermost edge of the [Heavenly Corpse Workshop], and apart from a few small pavilions where the corpse raisers live, it is no different from the wilderness.

The other party's ability to pinpoint his location so precisely must have been due to the inner disciple of Heavenly Corpse Peak who arranged the meeting, betraying him. Thinking of this, he advised:

“Miss Xu, I believe I have no grudge against you and have even helped Steward Xu out of trouble. Why are you still bothering me?”

"Why are you clinging to me? Because you helped my father?"

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Xu Jiaojiao's fleshy face contorted with rage: "When did I ever bother you? It's you who won't let go of my Xu family—you deserve to die!"

Wang Yu keenly sensed something was amiss, but with the die already cast, he had no choice but to act. Seeing the Tiger tank charging towards him, how could he possibly surrender without resistance?

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!"

Things are different now. A year and a half later, Wang Yu has undergone a complete transformation.

With a single movement, he immediately created nine illusory bodies, which spread out in all directions, forming a nine-palace formation, and formed a sword incantation with one hand.

Beside each of those illusory figures, ten sharp ice swords materialized, and hundreds of them shot out in a dense barrage!

Nine were fake, one was real; the ice crystal blade emitted a ghostly light, making it almost impossible to distinguish.

Xu Jiaojiao stomped her feet on the ground, gathered her energy in her dantian, and roared fiercely.

It was a very rare sonic technique. Barbarian Ghost Peak was famous for its strong physique. Although it was not a traditional body refiner, it still obtained six-tenths of the essence.

This is a superior spell—Barbarian Demon's Roar!

A series of sharp shrieks created visible sound waves, and all the fake ice swords formed by the illusory body disappeared, leaving only the ice sword wielded by Wang Yu's true body still advancing.

With that, Xu Jiaojiao swung her arm, and her right hand was suddenly shrouded in black smoke, expanding several times its original size, transforming into a black ghost hand that swept away all the ice swords.

Wang Yu's expression turned solemn. Xu Jiaojiao's cultivation level had shockingly reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, a difference of three levels, which greatly increased the pressure on him!

The hand seals were used again to enhance the power of the spell.

"Ice Coffin Curse - Bind!"

The temperature dropped rapidly, frost formed on the ground, and four ice walls appeared around Xu Jiaojiao, closing in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, ice crystals sealed the top and bottom openings, and the giant ice coffin floated horizontally in the air.
