Chapter 314 Showdown
The first stop of Saint Master Xia Lin’s preaching was an inconspicuous and unknown small town.
——Baishan City.
Baishan City was built a few months ago, and the reason for its construction was simple.
A Tai Sui mine with astonishing output appeared nearby.
Money can move people's hearts.
Countless gold diggers flocked in, and with the help of immortal magic, Baishan City sprang up overnight, and now it has taken shape.
And just a few days ago, a strange object appeared in Baishan City.
It was a regular cylinder.
Its entire body seems to be made of iron, but it is difficult to be damaged by swords and weapons, and it is not infected by rust and transformed into Tai Sui.
Practitioners have even discovered that practicing the Black Iron Mystical Art near this strange object can greatly increase the speed of practice.
Saint Master Xia Lin chose this place as the first stop for his preaching, and people thought it was probably because of this strange object.
…
Baishan City is surrounded by mountains. Because the mountains are rich in metal minerals, they have gradually mutated into a half-stone and half-Tai Sui structure under the pollution of rust.
Looking down from a high vantage point, you can see that Baishan City is worthy of its name.
The nearby mountains are all white.
Early in the morning, a fairy chariot flew over from afar.
Nine dragons pulled the carriage, precious light splashed, and the whole carriage was as dazzling as a star.
There are immortals leading the way ahead and Taoist children guiding the way. The holy master's journey is quite impressive.
In the city, people who had received the news in advance had been waiting for a long time.
…
The Tianxia Restaurant branch in Baishan City has been booked out.
The formation has also been activated. It looks like a simple soundproof formation, but no one can tell that it contains the methods of the Immortal King.
At this time, the people from the Black Warrior Alliance had already arrived, led by Xing Jie, and there were dozens of high-level warriors in total.
Naturally, there are more than just these few people from the Black Warrior Alliance.
More people were scattered throughout Baishan City, preparing for Xia Lin's arrival.
Xiao Feng, Bao Bowen and others were also among them.
In addition to the people from the Black Warrior Alliance, there is another group of people in the Tianxia Restaurant.
The black robes covered their bodies, and their bald heads were exposed. There were only ten of them, but they were all top-notch masters! The leader was the leader of the Ancient Demon Sect, the giant of the demonic path, Zheng Li! Sitting opposite Xing Jie, Zheng Li had taken off his hood, revealing his true appearance.
While sipping the spiritual tea, he glanced at Xing Jie, but at the corner of his eye he also looked at everyone else present with vigilance and suspicion in his eyes.
"Have you ever felt that something is wrong with the world recently?"
Zhengli spoke slowly, but his voice was only audible to him and Xingjie.
This made Xing Jie stunned, and he said honestly: "What you said is wrong, you mean... Tai Sui?"
Zheng Li shook his head slightly: "Not only Tai Sui, but also the Black Iron Mysterious Art. My disciples and even the nine guardians have practiced the Black Iron Mysterious Art."
“Although I didn’t find any doubts or problems in this technique, I always feel that my disciples have become a little unfamiliar to me.”
Zhengli is an eleventh-level Immortal King, stronger than Xingjie, and has much more knowledge about the way of immortals than the warrior Xingjie.
His personality is much more clever and intelligent than Xingjie.
Even without any actual evidence, Zheng Li still felt something was wrong...
Xing Jie shook his head stupidly: "I don't know, I don't understand... I have been in seclusion for a while, and I haven't noticed anything wrong."
The price of Black Star possession is not small.
Black Star itself will have to bear part of the cost, and Xingjie will also have to bear part of the cost.
Ever since the last time the black star possessed him, Xing Jie left the original secret realm and immediately announced that he would go into seclusion in order to resolve this cost.
Xing Jie received Black Star's new mission right after he came out of seclusion, which made him less aware of the changes in the outside world.
Seeing this fool displaying a kind of beauty that came from a brainstem missing, Zhengli sighed deeply and had nothing to say.
Just look around.
Everything is as usual...
The subordinates, still those subordinates.
No matter how hard Zhengli observed, he could not find anything unusual.
However, there is always an inexplicable premonition in Zhengli's soul, which makes him feel alarmed, but he doesn't know where the crisis comes from.
Feeling irritated, Zheng Li took a deep breath and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
"Let's deal with Xia Lin's problem first."
"Let's make it clear in advance that Xia Lin's life is yours, but Qu Yiyi's daughter Qu Tianhe is mine!"
Xing Jie laughed when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I won't fight with you."
Zhengli came here. Obeying Hei Xing's order was a small matter, but eradicating the roots and killing Qu Tianhe was a big matter.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the restaurant.
When everyone looked sideways, they saw that the man named Xia Lin had left the carriage and walked into the city.
Thousands of people are following me around.
…
When a noisy sound was heard outside the window, Wenrou also turned to look at the street.
She saw the familiar handsome figure.
Today, Xia Lin was wearing a Xuantian Sect sword suit, which was neat and slim. Combined with Xia Lin's handsome and cool face, he had a cynical swordsman style.
"Saint Master..."
Thinking of the nickname Xia Lin had earned, a hint of a helpless smile appeared in Wenrou's eyes.
But she knew that this boy had nothing to do with the word "Saint Master".
At this moment, Bao Bowen, who was sitting at the same table, slowly spoke.
"Watch more, listen more, do less."
"This is our action strategy this time."
The voice attracted Wenrou to turn around and look at her teammates sitting at the same table.
Xiao Feng is the leader, and Bao Bowen is the assistant.
However, Xu Haonan and NO.259, who had been following Bao Bowen during this period, disappeared - it was said that these two seemed to have other things to do with Lin Xiantian and NO.259.
Ignoring such trivial matters, Wenrou looked at Bao Bowen, and heard Bao Bowen speak quickly using the "team voice".
"Xia Lin and Black Star are already in a confrontation. Both of them are stubborn and neither of them will back down."
"And in this situation, our choice is very important."
"This time, the Black Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Sect attacked together, with an eleventh-level Immortal King and a warrior who is above level ten but less than level eleven, but can attract a twelfth-level consciousness projection warrior at any time."
Having said this, Bao Bowen looked at Xia Lin who was walking past the window.
"If Xia Lin has the means to survive this attack, we can help him escape the catastrophe of Black Star."
Bao Bowen's words caused his teammates to nod repeatedly.
If Xia Lin can handle this game on his own, then his potential is worth betting on.
Making friends with such a character is not necessarily less important than bringing Black Star out of the Ashes.
On the side, Kong Youwu sighed.
"Who would have thought that this kid has so many tricks?"
Kong Youwu really couldn't have thought of this beforehand.
Wenrou was absent-mindedly listening to her teammates' idle chatter. In a trance, she seemed to recall the scene when she followed Bao Bowen and parted with Xia Lin at the opening of the Jhin zone.
Although the words have been spoken in the original secret realm, but things have come to this point, Wenrou can't help but think like this:
If I had gone with Xia Lin instead of Bao Bowen, would it have been more beneficial to me? Thinking about it, Wenrou suddenly smiled and shook her head.
It doesn't make sense.
Without talking about his own camp's position, Xia Lin had offended Black Star and could hardly protect himself. If he followed him, he would probably suffer a lot and would not get much benefit.
He also thought of Xing Fanwu and the Clown who formed a temporary team with Xia Lin in this ashes area.
In the past year, we have rarely heard news about these two people.
But it doesn’t matter…
Xia Lin got into big trouble, and these two were powerless to do anything. They probably hid somewhere, passively waiting for the end of this cinder zone.
Then he thought about all the benefits and treasures he had gained in this ashes zone by following the organization.
Thinking of this, Wenrou slowly took a sip of the spiritual tea.
After this Cinders Zone ends, the benefits she gained will be enough to increase her strength by a few more percentage points.
Originally, Xing Fanwu's strength was not much different from hers, but after the end of this Jhin zone, the strength of the two would probably be greatly different.
This is enough to prove how correct her original choice was.
…
“That’s it.”
The Lord of Baishan City pointed at the iron cylinder in front of him and said to Xia Lin respectfully.
This also made Xia Lin glance towards the iron cylinder.
Looking at the foreign object in front of him, Xia Lin's mouth corners curled up unconsciously.
Beside him, the voice of the Lord of Baishan City was heard again.
"This item is not affected by rust disease, and it can also speed up the practice of Black Iron Mysterious Art for people nearby. Previously, we asked the Golden Immortal to check it, but we could not find out the origin and clues of this item."
Before the city lord could finish his words, Xia Lin had already spoken, and defined the nature of this thing in one sentence.
“This is a gift from God!”
It's not a foreign object, but a divine object, a treasure, so don't worry.
The Lord of Baishan City breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the Saint Master has spoken, everything will be fine.
Then he bowed respectfully again.
"Then please give this thing a name, Saint Master!"
Xia Lin took a step forward and reached out to gently touch the iron cylinder in front of him.
"Let's call it the County Magistrate..."
The county magistrate...
This name made everyone look at each other in confusion, not understanding the deep meaning of the word "county magistrate".
But the words of the Holy Master are truly true.
The Holy Master called this thing the County Magistrate, so it is the County Magistrate!
There was a burst of cheers and excitement.
However, before the cheers faded, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from the Tianxia Restaurant not far away! The aura dispersed the clouds and blocked the sunlight.
It was as if the world had turned upside down, the stars had shifted, and day had instantly turned into night.
In the Tianxia Restaurant, a arrogant voice suddenly rang out, exploding in the ears of everyone in Baishan City.
"Xia Lin, your death is approaching!"
This is the sound of punishment.
…
There was no elaborate planning or preparation.
To deal with a junior like Xia Lin who was not even a True Immortal, Xing Jie didn't need to make too much preparation.
Determine the position and attack with force!
Even if the fake "Qu Yiyi" was here, Xing Jie would not be afraid - after all, he still had Zheng Li.
Moreover, from previous investigations, it was known that this time, no one, whether it was "Qu Yiyi" or the eleventh level of the righteous path, followed Xia Lin.
At the moment when Xing Jie roared loudly, magic light suddenly lit up in all directions of Baishan City!
The demonic light soared into the sky, and the black demonic energy quickly weaved into a huge cage like a black dragon, covering the entire Baishan City and the surrounding areas.
This is the formation that Zhengli had arranged in advance.
This formation isolates the space, ensuring that information does not leak out, and also cuts off the possibility of Xia Lin escaping or the appearance of external aid.
However, at the moment when the formation was formed.
Zhengli's eyebrows suddenly jumped, as if he had a premonition that something bad was happening.
He looked around, and a gleam of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.
Because the atmosphere is not right...
Faced with the unexpected change, there was no exclamation or panic in Baishan City.
At the moment when the formation was formed, the entire Baishan City fell into a strange silence.
…
In mid-air, Xing Jie was just about to take action.
However, the strange atmosphere slowed down Xingjie's attack.
He looked down at the Tianxia Restaurant.
Then he saw that all his men were staring at him with a pair of iron eyes, without blinking.
There was nothing in those eyes that could be called human emotion...but there was undisguised hostility and murderous intent.
"you……"
In a trance, Xing Jie thought of the conversation he had just had with Zheng Li.
"Not only is it Tai Sui, but also the Black Iron Mysterious Art..."
After all, he was not a real fool and immediately realized the problem.
When he looked up again, his perception spread far and wide, and the entire Baishan City was captured in his sight! At this moment, in Baishan City, no matter how high or low their cultivation level was, no matter whether they were men or women, old or young, all of them cast their eyes on him and Zhengli.
Even though almost 100% of these people would not cause the slightest harm to Xing Jie, that numb look still made Xing Jie feel an uncontrollable chill in his heart.
"you……"
He turned his head sharply and looked at Xia Lin.
Then he saw Xia Lin already sitting on the sacred object called County Magistrate.
His feet were swaying off the ground, and he gave Xing Jie and Zheng Li a strange smile.
"What's wrong with me?"
This is asking a question even though you already know the answer.
Suddenly a voice came from the Tianxia Restaurant.
Two.
The first voice was spoken by Guan Chang, the deputy leader of the Black Martial Alliance, and the leader of the Ten Golden Immortals of the Ancient Demon Sect, the Cold Demon Venerable! The two people's voices were synchronized and exactly the same! "Xing Jie, Zheng Li, you are enemies of the Holy Master, you deserve to be cut into pieces."
It was clearly a curse, but there was no rise or fall in the tone, as if it came from a machine.
This made Zheng Li's mouth twitch, and he looked at the nine golden immortal guardians of the Ancient Demon Sect that he brought with him.
They have stood up and surrounded themselves in the center with a nine-man chain formation.
The bad premonition became reality.
However, after careful consideration, the situation inside made Zheng Li even more frightened! "Black Iron Mysterious Art... No, this is Black Iron Demonic Art!!"
Zheng Li gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Lin and said this.
He thought of his only son Zhengqun.
Zheng Qun also practiced the Black Iron Mysterious Art.
After all, this is the only solution to rust.
Xia Lin did not deny the name of the magic skill, but just listened to the second voice coming from the Tianxia Restaurant.
That was Bao Bowen's voice.
“As expected…”
After saying this with a sigh, Lao Bao raised his teacup and toasted to Xia Lin.
He smiled and said, "I have always felt that people who practiced the Black Iron Mysterious Art would change their attitude towards you too quickly and too fiercely... I vaguely guessed that your Black Iron Mysterious Art might have the effect of controlling practitioners."
“And now, after such a long period of fermentation, almost everyone in this world has already practiced the Black Iron Mysterious Art… No wonder you have the confidence to say no to Black Star.”
Xia Lin shrugged and did not directly respond to Bao Bowen's words.
However, there was another complicated look beside Bao Bowen, which made Xia Lin smile slightly.
That was a gentle look.
She looked at Xia Lin, a little dazed for a moment.
Bao Bowen had a general idea of Xia Lin's move, but Wenrou had no idea.
At this moment, Xia Lin revealed his cards, and Wenrou finally understood that Xia Lin had done such a cruel thing without making any noise! "But it's meaningless..."
Bao Bowen spoke again, and revealed the real thoughts in the hearts of others.
Lao Bao glanced at Zhengli, then at Xing Jie, and then briefly glanced at the other people in Baishan City.
The contrast between the strong and the weak is actually clear at a glance.
Zhengli and Xingjie still have the upper hand and do not become weaker because of the betrayal of their subordinates.
Because this is the logic of the extraordinary system - when the strength gap is huge, the number becomes meaningless.
With the power of Immortal King Zhengli, he only needs to make a simple move to turn the situation around!
Thinking of this, Bao Bowen suddenly said: "Join us, we can help you solve Zhengli and Xingjie, and even help you deal with Black Star's troubles."
"As long as you nod, you don't need to fight these level 11 or 12 natives. With your current layout, you can reap as much as you want in the next few years. We don't want anything. As long as you become one of our own. What do you think of this proposal, Xia Lin?"
This time, Bao Bowen's proposal was very sincere.
However, after hearing this, Xia Lin sighed inexplicably.
"Can you handle them too?"
Just as these words were spoken, the great formation covering the outside of Baishan City was suddenly torn apart.
A total of six figures appeared outside Baishan City, looking at Xia Lin with complicated eyes.
These are the eleventh-level righteous people, led by Bai Wudao!
Xuanye's voice suddenly sounded.
The former gentleness is gone, only the swordsman's sharpness remains.
"Disciple, you've gone too far."
…
Bao Bowen's face froze, but he didn't dare to respond directly to Xia Lin's question.
With the strength of Xiao Feng and himself, plus Xia Lin, and some powerful props stored in his personal space, he is confident that he can solve the troubles of Xing Jie and Zheng Li.
Even if I can't win, at least I can save Xia Lin's life.
However, after Bai Wudao and others appeared here, Bao Bowen didn't dare to say anything more.
In this Ashes Zone, there are a total of eight level elevens in the Primordial World, and all of them are here except Qu Yiyi.
Judging from Xuanye's tone, they obviously did not come to protect Xia Lin.
On the contrary, they came to ask Xia Lin for an explanation! Thinking of this, Bao Bowen was startled and turned to leave... However, when he saw Xia Lin's unchanged expression, he suddenly changed his mind and did not leave. Instead, he sat back in his original seat.
A doubt arose in Bao Bowen's mind.
Looking at Xia Lin's arrangement, it is not exquisite, but it is enough to conceal the truth.
Zheng Li just noticed something unusual when the cards were revealed... Then how did these righteous eleventh-level people who were supposed to stand on the same side with Xia Lin figure out the situation?
The answer is simple.
"I did it on purpose."
Xia Lin stepped down from the head of the county magistrate and landed on the ground.
He simply straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Xuanye.
"Teacher, please don't blame me or blame me."
"I don't want to leave my fate in the hands of others, so I came up with this plan."
"I meant well. I wanted to solve Black Star's problem."
"Once this is done, I will set everyone free!"
The iron slaves in the virtual Amber Zone follow Scarlett Qu Yiyi's logic.
After the transformation, Xia Lin couldn't take them away. If he wanted to take them away, he would have to spend the Jin District points. But Xia Lin didn't know how to get Scarlett's 10 billion Jin District points. How could he use the points on other people? After completing the plan, Xia Lin did have the idea of letting these people go. It was just a virtual Jin District. There was no benefit to be gained. Xia Lin would not do something that would harm others and not benefit himself.
Xia Lin continued, "I am worried that you immortals do not understand my difficulties and will hinder my path in the future, so I choose to tell you everything here and now."
After saying that, Xia Lin looked at Xuanye and said, "Master, if you believe me, you should all retreat and stay in seclusion for a few decades, ignoring what is happening outside. When you come out, everything will be over. I promise that this world will not suffer too much damage."
I took away some rare treasures along the way. That was my, Xia Lin’s, hard work reward. I deserved it. Besides, can’t the rare treasures grow again even if they are gone?
However, before Xia Lin could finish his speech, Bai Wudao snorted coldly.
"No need to say more."
"Everything you have done is beyond the reach of justice. If I don't kill you today, my heart will be unstable!"
Xuanye had already drawn his sword and looked at Xia Lin before speaking again.
"Please answer me one question. Where does this rust come from?"
Xia Lin responded softly: "It came from my disciple's hands."
At this point, he has nothing to fear from admitting.
"Then there is no need to say more."
The brilliant sword light fell from the sky.
The killing intent is so strong that even those who still have self-will are terrified! Xuanye will not play tricks with you.
As soon as he attacked, he was going to kill Xia Lin! It was Bai Wudao who reminded him: "Capture him alive!"
Now that Xia Lin is dead, they have no way to deal with the troubles of Black Iron Mysterious Art and Rust Disease.
However, before Xuanye could gather his strength, Xia Lin sighed and said.
"As expected, you guys are incapable of understanding my difficulties and good intentions... In the end, I, Xia Lin, will have to bear the infamy of killing my master and betraying my faith."
While muttering, he slapped the iron cylinder next to him, which was called the county magistrate.
"Hey, get ready, it's time to merge."
The light of skill shines instantly.
Derived from ergonomics.
