After Huang Pengcai left the city lord's mansion, he saw that many more guard patrol teams had appeared in the market. It seemed that the scene from decades ago was about to be repeated.
Looking back, it's like a nightmare!
Huang Pengcai decided to seize the opportunity while he still had it and quickly transfer back to the Yan Kingdom. He had survived by chance last time, but this time might not be the case…
"With my current abilities, going back shouldn't be a problem... Since there's no hope of breaking through, I might as well go back and enjoy the pleasures of the mortal world. With my accumulated resources, finding two qualified concubines won't be a problem. With careful nurturing of the next generation, I might even be able to create a family of cultivators!"
Huang Peng entered the building with pleasant thoughts in mind.
However, Huang Pengcai suddenly stopped, his eyes showing astonishment.
In the dimly lit corridor, the figure of a young cultivator could be seen, a smile on his face, yet with a hint of coldness and menace.
Upon seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Huang Pengcai's face immediately turned ugly, and his eyes showed surprise.
"It's you?"
"Manager Huang, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, but there was no real smile in his eyes, only a cold and sinister feeling.
Although decades have passed and he had long forgotten about the matter, as a cultivator, he had a photographic memory, so how could he forget Lin Xiuyuan's appearance!
For a moment, Huang Peng suddenly saw Lin Xiuyuan's figure and sensed the oppressive aura emanating from him, clearly the spiritual energy fluctuations of a high-level cultivator...
Huang Pengcai immediately sensed something was wrong, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, but before he could do anything...
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind rose from the back of my head, and several white lights inexplicably appeared before my eyes, instantly arriving in front of me...
...
A moment later, Lin Xiuyuan walked out of the building calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Huo Yun used her demonic body's power to launch a sneak attack, combined with the White Feather Needle, achieving an almost instantaneous kill without causing any disturbance.
However, even if it attracted attention, Lin Xiuyuan was not too worried, otherwise he wouldn't have made this trip.
In the Qiankun bag that Chen Xue gave him, besides a jade box containing a piece of Netherworld Orchid, there was also a Chen Clan token.
The market is currently under martial law, with strict entry and exit controls, so he was given this token to facilitate his movement. Naturally, it shouldn't be a problem to use it to suppress this matter.
After they left the secret realm, their camp at Hundred Python Mountain was attacked by a large-scale attack by demonic cultivators, which restrained the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and prevented them from interfering in the affairs of the secret realm and ruining their plans.
Right now, the righteous and the demonic are engaged in a great battle at Hundred Python Mountain. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance naturally cannot allow the demonic path to complete its plan and seize this great opportunity.
The incident occurred only a few days ago, and the situation at Baimang Mountain is still unclear; all that is known is that a major battle is taking place there.
Martial law has now been imposed in all major markets and districts, and conscription notices have been issued.
The various factions of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance are gathering and preparing to head to Hundred Python Mountain.
It is clear that no matter what the situation is like at Hundred Python Mountain, and whether the demonic cultivators succeed or not, war will break out.
Once the struggle for the opportunity is settled, the battle for interests in the southern borderlands will begin. This conflict will continue indefinitely!
But as we can imagine, it will eventually sweep across the entire southern border region, and even the inland areas will likely be affected.
Therefore, before his injuries had fully healed, Lin Xiuyuan decided to leave.
We fear that if we are even a step too late, we will be trapped here.
Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, most of the area in Beihefang City has changed. The general layout remains the same, but the buildings and streets have been drastically altered.
There is a strong sense of things being different now.
Besides the bustling Zuocheng District center.
Those main streets have become the symbol of Beihefang Market. From the very beginning, they have been the areas with the highest flow of people and the trading place for countless cultivators. Even though they suffered considerable damage in the battle decades ago, they were eventually restored to their original appearance.
As Lin Xiuyuan stepped inside, he felt a sense of melancholy and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Those scenes seemed still vivid in his mind, leaving Lin Xiuyuan standing there, lost in thought.
Finally, Lin Xiuyuan looked ahead and could vaguely see the familiar facade of Jinyuan Pavilion, and even the middle-aged manager behind the counter.
"You also failed to break through... Is there still a sliver of a chance?"
Lin Xiuyuan looked puzzled. He hadn't expected that Manager Chen was like him, with a violent aura on his body. It seemed that he had failed to break through twice. He wondered if he had passed the sixty-year mark.
Lin Xiuyuan thought silently, shook his head and sighed, but did not step forward. Instead, he turned and walked into a chamber of commerce.
The kill of Huang Geng and his group in the secret realm, along with the killing of some rogue cultivators during the struggle for opportunities within the secret realm, plus the Qiankun bags of the two elders from the Wei family, constituted a rather rich harvest.
There are ten top-tier spiritual artifacts and top-tier spiritual shields alone, with a value of two to three hundred thousand.
Including other miscellaneous items, the total value is approximately 500,000. However, the most valuable item is something from the old man surnamed Wei's storage bag: a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!
Is it intended for Wei Maoxue to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
Lin Xiuyuan kept a top-tier spiritual artifact and a top-tier spiritual shield as backups, and sold everything else, ultimately earning 360,000 spirit stones.
Lin Xiuyuan's wealth suddenly increased again, and he was not stingy. He spent a lot of money to buy a defensive array plate for his later breakthrough in seclusion.
Named the Azure Armor Array Plate, it can withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Of course, with Lin Xiuyuan's current cultivation level, he can only withstand a few blows, but that's enough. For now, it's already a very powerful defensive array plate.
