Chapter 115
Changsheng rushed back to Muyunmen angrily. Two disciples at the door came up to greet him, but Changsheng, who was full of anger, whipped them on the legs.
"Get out! You ignorant thing, can't you see that I'm in a bad mood?" Changsheng slapped the ground again as if to vent his anger. Seeing the two disciples running away in panic, he couldn't help but sneer.
He came into the room panting like an angry bull.
A man and a woman were talking in the room. When he entered, the man asked first, "Sheng'er, what are you doing? I heard you yelling in the room. Didn't I tell you to go to Muyun City to collect rent? Why are you back now?"
The woman also asked, "But what went wrong on the way?"
The man and woman were Changsheng's parents. When questioned by them, the anger on Changsheng's face suddenly turned into grievance. He said, "Mom and Dad, someone is bullying me! I lost a big man outside Muyun City!"
Seeing him like this, Changsheng's mother quickly called him over to take a good look. After seeing that he was not injured, she frowned and said angrily, "How dare someone bully you in Muyun Sect's territory! You really don't take our Muyun Sect seriously!"
"What's going on?" Changsheng's father asked.
At this time, Changsheng's followers came running over. They were all disciples of Muyun Sect. They told the two people what happened outside Muyun City with exaggeration. When they said that Changsheng did not use Qingyunzhu to enter the city, the two people looked disapproving, obviously not thinking it was a big deal.
Don’t they know whether Changsheng has been possessed by another body?
But when the woman, accompanied by a late Jindan-stage guard, threatened Changsheng, anger instantly flashed across their faces. Changsheng's mother slammed the table and angrily said, "Your father and I only have you as our child. What would we do if anything happened to you? Who the hell do these two think they are? How dare they threaten you!"
Changsheng stretched out his neck, looking like he had found a backer.
But when the followers whispered that the woman was going to build a city next to the city owned by Muyunmen to steal business, both Changsheng's angry mother and dissatisfied father's expressions changed at the same time and became slightly stiff.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
Changsheng's mother let go of his hand and looked at Changsheng's father.
"This guy... is so arrogant. Could it be that he really has someone to rely on?" she said hesitantly.
Changsheng's father rolled his eyes around, snorted twice, raised his hand to let the followers go, leaving only his family in the room, and said slowly, "Our Muyun Sect has been prosperous here for a hundred years, and now we have taken over the territory of Xuanyun Sect. We are not to be bullied! Even if it is someone sent by Shifang, we have the confidence to entertain them!"
He rubbed his hands
Pointing, he curled his lips and sneered, "Such an arrogant tone. If I hadn't known that the Luoxia City Lord had given birth to a son, I would have thought it was the Luoxia City Young Master who came in person! But she has guards in the late Jindan stage by her side. She must be the young master of some sect. She's just arrogant. Sheng'er, building a city is not just about talking. It costs a lot. She must be deliberately talking nonsense to suppress you and show off her power!"
Changsheng nodded quickly and said, "Father, you're right, but it's really embarrassing for me to be humiliated by her in front of so many people. Please help me!"
Changsheng's father and the woman beside him exchanged glances, each with a strange expression in their eyes. Changsheng looked at them, puzzled. Seeing his mother smile slightly, she said, "If she were the young master of some sect, that would be even better. Your father and I were just worrying about how to make the next step forward. It's like someone offering you a pillow when you're sleepy."
"What do you mean?" Changsheng asked in confusion.
Changsheng's parents were reluctant to discuss the matter, letting him go downstairs to play. They told him they would definitely avenge his anger and told him to send someone to Muyun City to keep an eye on the master and servant. After Changsheng excitedly left, the two of them got up and walked to the study. After erecting the barrier, they opened the secret door and walked down the stairs to the basement.
In the dark underground room without sunlight, candles were burning, illuminating an altar. On the altar was placed a human-shaped puppet. The puppet was carved from black jade, and its dark body was painted with a layer of blood by the candlelight.
As soon as the couple walked into the dark room and looked at the puppet, a cold feeling crawled up along their tail vertebrae. The hairs on their backs stood up, and the moment they lowered their heads, cold sweat covered their backs and their foreheads.
"Mu Yunmen Changjie and Meng Yun - greetings to His Excellency." The couple bowed to the puppet, not daring to move.
The puppet didn't move at all, and seemed to be just a black, dead object.
After a while, cold sweat dripped from Chang Jie's forehead. He whispered, "We are not offending you, sir. I just want to ask you a favor. It seems that a remarkable person has come to Muyun City. I have sent people to find out her background. I only ask that you deal with her sect as you did with Xuanyun Sect before."
A cold laugh echoed through the air, and a stern voice said, "You have quite a big appetite. Is Xuanyun Sect not enough for you to eat?"
The couple knelt on the ground. Meng Yun smiled and said, "It's not that we have big appetites, but this woman is a scoundrel. First, she bullied my Sheng'er, and then threatened to build a city outside Muyun City, taking away all our business. This behavior is no different from robbery! We could have punished her ourselves, but we were afraid of endless troubles. We decided to get rid of her once and for all!"
"Yes, if you take action, just like before, the people and property belong to you, and we only need their territory!" Changsheng said.
for
The puppet on the table grinned and laughed, "Hehe," he said, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, but I've been depressed here for a long time, and I think it's time to go out and get some fresh air."
A black shadow emerged from the puppet, it turned out to be the soul of a demon cultivator!
Chang Jie and Meng Yun had no grudge against his identity as a demon cultivator and respectfully called him "Sir".
The demon cultivator said, "Since we are going to deal with the sect behind that person, I will not go to Muyun City. You guys lure her out, and leave the rest to me."
The couple was delighted and quickly said, "Yes!"
"And the person I told you to find..." The demon cultivator's eyes rolled, a cold gaze falling on the couple. Chang Jie and Meng Yun quickly lowered their heads and whispered, "Sir, we've searched the city thoroughly, but we haven't found the Dongzhou cultivator named Li, nor the Wendao Academy... After the Five Continents Competition, the selected candidates went to the Wendao Academy, and we have no way of finding Xue Mengtao."
"Don't panic, you'll find out soon." The demon cultivator raised his lips and revealed a cruel smile, "She's already delivered herself to my door..."
In the dim morning light, Feng Jue woke up from his dream, staring at the ceiling of the tent with sleepy eyes.
She thought with disdain: The quality of this tent doesn't look very good.
The moment he changed his mind, he remembered that this was Xilezhou. Feng Jue moved lazily and turned his eyes to the side.
I saw a woman sitting by the bed - the word "sitting" doesn't seem quite appropriate. She was sitting with her legs crossed, her silver-white body floating in the air, and her clothes and long hair had some starlight flowing in the air.
Her skin, eyes, and lips were all silvery white, even more ethereal than Shui Longyin's human figure, so beautiful that one could not look away.
Feng Jue was unconsciously mesmerized and reached out to touch her drooping hair. The white human fingers instantly passed through the torrent of data without disturbing the movement of the stars.
03 tilted his head, smiled and asked Feng Jue: "Are you awake?"
"Good morning."
After saying that, she suddenly leaned over and kissed Feng Jue on the forehead.
The silvery-white lips moved down, passed her straight nose, and kissed her lips again.
Feng Jue subconsciously closed his eyes and chuckled, "You too."
The sound of someone just waking up was lazy and low. 03 felt a surge of electricity flowing through the data cluster, and the silver light grew brighter, like a sea of stars shimmering. She narrowed her eyes and watched Feng Jue sit up from the bed, and the floating 03 retreated with him.
"Have you been guarding me all the time?" Feng Jue lifted up her black hair and looked aside.
I saw a dragon lying under the bed, holding its big tail in front of its eyes to block them. The tip of its tail was curved into a wave, as if to say, "Don't look at anything inappropriate, the dragon saw nothing."
Feng Jue paused and shifted his gaze from Ling Shi to the chessboard beside him.
The floating chessboard is also silver-white, with the black and white pieces clearly distinguished, and still in a connected pattern.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
03 casually pointed at a square on the chessboard, where a white chess piece appeared. She said, "Of course I have to watch over you. The examinee needs to rest well. The people from Muyun Sect won't give up easily. You told me not to cause trouble for them, so I'll wait for them to come on their own. They can't disturb your sleep."
At this point, 03's eyes lit up and he asked Feng Jue curiously, "Did you dream about me?"
Her silver-white eyes were fixed on Feng Jue's face, full of anticipation. Feng Jue curled up the corners of his mouth and whispered, "It seems like I had a dream."
seem?
03 tilted her head, and a golden question mark followed her. 03 asked, "What did you dream I did?"
Feng Jue pondered for a moment, a wicked smile on his face, and said, "I dreamed... you lost to Ling Shi in a row, and you burst into tears and needed someone to comfort you. It was really depressing."
Hey!
The question mark turned into a big exclamation mark. 03 drifted off and chased after Feng Jue who had gotten out of bed, saying, "Feng Jue, humans say that dreams and reality are opposites."
There is absolutely no way Lingshi could beat her at chess!
It's impossible for anyone!
She turned around and looked at Lingshi.
Lingshi pricked up her ears. After hearing Feng Jue get out of bed, she raised her tail and looked at the chessboard with a sigh of relief, with the tip of her tail touching a certain spot on the chessboard.
Black chess piece emerges.
03 Raising his hand, he pointed his index finger into the air, and the white chess piece fell, forming a four-star chain. The silver-white figure proudly floated upwards, with the bubble above his head with his hands on his waist.
“No one can beat me.”
Lingshi shook her tail angrily, swam to the table, spit a mouthful of fire into the tea stove, rolled up the tea bowl, and put it on the tea stove together with the beads inside, and said, "Take a bath, wash more."
Jiao invites you to take a hot bath!
Feng Jue came over after washing up, slapped Ling Shi's tail with a sneer, saved 03's beads from the fire, and squatted on the teapot. She said leisurely, "If I knew you dragged Ling Shi here to play chess in the middle of the night, why would I open an extra room for her?"
03Seriously say: "It's not needed now, but it will be needed in the future."
Feng Jue and Ling Shi both looked at her with some confusion. 03 pretended to be profound and folded his hands on his abdomen, sighing, "No one understands me."
"..." Feng Jue seemed to understand
He took the teapot down and put 03 on it, and said with a dark face, "Go back here."
Okay, okay.
The data of 03 "whoosh" drilled back into the small bead, and the ball splashed in the water. Matchstick supported the tea bowl and asked Feng Jue curiously: "What are we doing today?"
Feng Jue said, "Let's go to the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce first. City Lord Zhao won't give up the opportunity to cooperate with Lanyang Palace. I think the matter has been settled. Xilezhou borders Zhongzhou, and Luoxia City is in the west of Zhongzhou. The materials for building the city will be handed over to the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce for procurement."
If you say you want to build a city, you must do it. Feng Jue took out a communication talisman from his storage ring and wrote a letter to the people in Lanyang Palace. 03 emerged from the tea bowl, pinched a small apron for himself, tied it on, and prepared breakfast for Feng Jue.
By the time Feng Jue finished writing the letter, hot tea and baked breakfast were already on the table.
Feng Jue's expression changed, and he nodded with a smile, saying softly, "How virtuous of you."
03, wearing a small apron, had a shy expression on her face as she held Feng Jue's fingers close. Ling Shi, standing nearby, shifted into human form, took out some grilled food from her storage ring, and placed it on the table.
The dragon also has food to eat.
After breakfast, Feng Jue put 03 back into the gold silk bag and went out with Ling Shi.
As soon as he left the inn, Feng Jue couldn't help but sneer and whispered, "Someone is following me."
When Lingshi heard it, her ears moved, her nose sniffed, and she said disappointedly: "Master, I didn't notice it."
Feng Jue consoled him, "You took action yesterday, and Muyun Sect knew your level of cultivation. The magical weapon used to conceal your aura deceived you, but it couldn't deceive me."
03 also comforted his good friend and sent her a message: "You are a little weak."
Ling Shi roared, and the sound frightened the surrounding cultivators, who turned pale and fled in panic. Suddenly, the area around Feng Jue and Ling Shi was empty, and the cultivators who had been following them were startled and quickly hid.
"..." Feng Jue knew what was going on. He took off the golden silk bag and put it into his sleeve with an expressionless face, then walked into the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce with Ling Shi in silence.
The people who were following looked at each other, nodded, and one of them turned and left.
In the Five Continents, every bustling city must have a Chengxian Chamber of Commerce.
Feng Jue walked into the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce, took out the token from Lanyang Palace and explained her purpose. She was immediately invited to the upstairs box by the steward. She handed the message to the steward and asked the people from the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce to pass it on to the disciples of Lanyang Palace.
She did not reveal her identity, only saying that she was a disciple of Lanyang Palace, but the steward was particularly friendly to her, which showed that the cooperation between Luoxia City and Lanyang Palace was indeed as Feng Jue guessed.
"Do you know about the Xuanyun Sect?" Feng Jue asked.
The steward frowned and sighed, "The Xuanyun Sect's leader and I are old acquaintances. The Xuanyun Sect tragedy was a pity. There is no trace of anything. All the disciples of the sect disappeared overnight. Their whereabouts are still unknown. I guess..."
Feng Jue lowered her eyelashes, her pupils dimming slightly. She nodded and told the steward about the matter against Muyunmen. She said, "First, build a city outside Muyun City. If Muyunmen comes to me to apologize, we can discuss this matter. Otherwise—"
Thinking of those people who were following him, Feng Jue smiled contemptuously, believing that building a city was imperative.
The steward, upon hearing her tone, sensed that Feng Jue's identity was unusual, and that she wasn't just an ordinary disciple. His attitude became even more earnest, and he said with a smile, "Ever since the Xuanyun Sect disappeared and the Muyun Sect occupied the city, the rent has increased twice a year. The disciples are acting like local tyrants and demanding benefits. I wanted to report this to Luoxia City, but since you have such a good idea, the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce will definitely cooperate."
Feng Jue curled up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Just do it. What I lack the most is spirit stones."
The steward thought to himself that this was truly delightful to hear. While sighing, he heard her ask if anything unusual had happened near Muyun City recently. After a moment's pause, he said, "After the Xuanyun Sect tragedy, few cultivators from the surrounding cities came. It wasn't until Venerable Jing bestowed the Green Jade Pearl that the city began to see its former glory."
"Also, a month ago, Xilezhou had a meteor shower for three consecutive nights. The direction of the meteors falling was north of Muyun City, but it seemed to be just an ordinary meteor shower. Some cultivators investigated and found no opportunities."
"Okay, thank you." Feng Jue put down the spirit stone and stood up to leave. The steward walked her all the way to the door and watched her leave with a smile.
The moment Feng Jue left the house, she felt the stealthy yet piercing gazes from behind. She pretended not to notice and took Ling Shi for a leisurely stroll through the city. When Ling Shi was in Lanyang Palace, she had received a monthly allowance and had accumulated a large amount of spirit stones, spending them as she went. She was a dragon who cherished herself deeply.
"Alas." A little bead lifted up her clothes and sighed quietly.
Tong also wants to go shopping.
Feng Jue raised his hand to touch his ear, then covered the bulge in his clothes with his wrist and whispered, "Hide it well, and I'll go shopping with you in a year."
Qiuqiu was no longer envious and scurried back in. The gold silk bag slid down Feng Jue's sleeve and was hooked by her palm. Feng Jue held the beads and raised the corner of her mouth.
Ahead of her, Lingshi stopped in front of a metal shop, listening to the stall owner describe how sharp his kitchen knife was, saying it could slice through spirit beast bones like tofu. The spirit beast Jiao took a deep breath and hurriedly reached for his spirit stone. At that moment, an attack talisman struck Lingshi's face.
"boom!"
Thunder and fire exploded, and pedestrians on the street
Screams broke out. This was actually a Jindan stage attack talisman. Most of the cultivators doing business on the street were in the Qi-refining and Foundation-building stage. How could they resist the power of this thunder and flame?
Fortunately, when the thunder and flames exploded, a long roar like thunder was heard, and blazing flames provided protection and resisted the thunder and flames.
The ground resounded with a thud. Although no one was injured on the road, many stalls were blown away by the lightning and flames, and the ground became uneven and charred black. Amidst the spreading panic, a man with a knife jumped out and roared, "Demon cultivator, you killed my parents and harmed my brothers. Receive your death!"
He shouted, but threw out two attack spells in succession, then ran out of the city without looking back.
Compared to the Thunder and Fire Talisman just now, these two talismans were less powerful and were easily taken by Ling Shi. She looked at the man's fleeing back and looked at Feng Jue with her green eyes.
Feng Jue held the ball in her hand and suddenly remembered the "Love Letter - Ping Jincheng and the Demon Cultivator's Battle Version" that 03 had written to her. She couldn't help but smile and said, "If we don't chase them, will they be embarrassed?"
Lingshi thought about it and laughed.
Jiao thought it would be very interesting.
"Forget it, let's go and take a look. I want to know how capable they are." Feng Jue said softly.
She pulled a box of spirit stones from her storage ring, dropped it on the ground, and flew out of the city with Lingshi. After they left, the panicked crowd trembled with fear, their faces pale as they looked at the devastation around them. A brave person stepped forward to open the spirit box and discovered that it contained several high-grade spirit stones. Their eyes welled up, and they hurriedly bowed in the direction the two had left.
Outside Muyun City.
Ling Shi and Feng Jue chased the man one after the other. The man with the knife threw out attack talismans from time to time to stop the two from moving forward. Feng Jue had a sneer on his face and looked at his panicked back with his hands behind his back.
If she wanted to, she could go up and break his neck in an instant, but she had to act to the end. She put her hands behind her back, hooked her index finger on the gold silk bag, and the balls inside swayed back and forth.
When Muyun City disappeared on the horizon, the man with the knife breathed a sigh of relief, landed on the agreed flat ground, and sneered: "Late Jindan period, nothing more than that!" The sect leader told him to be careful, but he made no effort at all along the way!
Ling Shi rolled up her sleeves, glanced at the man, and took a step forward. The next moment, a red dragon appeared, its huge body flying in the air, and its shadow fell heavily on the man.
The man was startled and looked up.
This is... Fire Rock Dragon? !
The dragon's green eyes formed a line in the sunlight, and the ferocity in its eyes was hard to conceal. Flames came out of its body, and its fiery red scales like glass were burning. The dragon's tail slapped down without hesitation.
The pressure from the late Jindan period spread out, and the man's eyes were filled with discontent.
Xie instantly turned into fear, and he raised his long sword to slash at the fire rock dragon. The blade collided with the dragon's scales, making a "ding" sound.
The spiritual pressure around Ling Shi was agitated, a sign of an impending breakthrough. It looked at the man coldly, and its tail dropped again without hesitation.
Red flames streaked across the sky.
“Snap—”
The bloody smell spread, Ling Shi roared, and the blood-stained scales ripped the man's magic weapon away.
The dragon opened its mouth and uttered a human voice, "In the early stage of the Golden Core, nothing more than this."
In a hidden corner, someone felt a chill run down his spine and gritted his teeth, saying, "What a pity for one of my elders!"
Before his voice faded away, the Fire Rock Dragon soaring in the air suddenly turned its head, looked at that place with fierce eyes, and spit out flames without hesitation.
"Oops!"
Chang Jie broke out in a cold sweat and immediately flew out to avoid the pursuit of the flames. His eyes turned cold as he looked at the woman standing on the top of the mountain with an indifferent face.
"It's you who bullied my Sheng'er!" Chang Jie demanded. "You even want to steal business from my Muyun Sect. How dare you! What's your name? Which sect are you from? Tell me if you have the guts!"
Feng Jue looked at him coldly, very disappointed.
Another golden elixir, not enough to fight.
Chang Jie saw the sarcasm in her eyes and said coldly, "It's just as my son said. You are so arrogant. I want to see what you can do!"
He then drew his sword and charged towards Feng Jue. Feng Jue remained motionless. Ling Shi swung his tail in the air and fell towards Chang Jie. Chang Jie showed a smug smile on his face, "Fool, do you know the principle of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west?"
A sound of breaking air struck, and silver light rushed towards Feng Jue's back. The ball in the golden silk bag was surrounded by flowing light, and the flowing light was like falling snow, bringing a chill to the face.
The time of this moment was stretched out, and the expression on the face of the woman who attacked changed from complacency and cruelty to horror and fear.
The long sword she dropped stopped in the air and was grasped by a beautiful hand. The white fingers were long and slender, and there were rings on the index and ring fingers. The rings were made of gold and jade and inlaid with bright gems. It was the hand of a young and delicate woman.
It was this seemingly pampered hand that easily controlled her long sword. Even though this sword carried 50% of her strength, she was even afraid that she might accidentally kill the woman and not be able to get any information about her sect.
"You--" Meng Yun still couldn't feel the woman's cultivation level. Her palms began to tremble, and she suddenly realized.
That fire rock dragon was not her guard, but her spirit beast.
During the Five Continents Competition, a man of great influence won the championship with his Golden Core cultivation.
head, and beside her was a fire rock dragon.
If it was that person, not to mention building a city next to the city under the Muyun Gate, even building cities all over Xilezhou would only take a word.
Moreover, her cultivation level was higher than hers two years ago.
Meng Yun could hardly hold the knife, and his eyes were full of panic as he looked at Feng Jue. A golden-red flame appeared in the depths of his pupils. The flame came from the woman's palm and instantly engulfed her magic weapon and her body.
"Greedy—ah!"
"Tsk." Feng Jue felt increasingly disappointed, not even looking at the person being engulfed by flames beneath his feet.
Not far away, Chang Jie, who heard Meng Yun's screams, turned pale. He dodged the attack of the Fire Rock Dragon, took out an object from his storage ring and threw it into the air, shouting, "Sir, help me!"
The puppet made of black jade reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, and a black soul instantly emerged from the puppet. The demon cultivator appeared, squinted his eyes, and when he looked at Feng Jue, both the demon cultivator and Feng Jue were shocked.
"Phoenix Rain..."
"Evil cultivator!" The indifference on Feng Jue's face disappeared, turning into anger. The Mu Yun Sect was so bold that they actually colluded with the evil cultivator!
She raised her hand, and flames rose from her palm. The woman on the ground, who was only breathing her last breath, spat out blood, and the flames on her body grew stronger, turning into green smoke in an instant.
Without even looking, Feng Jue flew high into the sky, his life-defining magical weapon appeared, and swung it at the demon cultivator with blazing flames. The demon cultivator's eyes flashed, knowing that one of them must die today, but it definitely wouldn't be him!
"Clang."
The fire phoenix cried and charged towards the demon cultivator with a rage.
The demon cultivator sneered, and the moment he raised his palm, his divine power spread out, shattering the fire phoenix.
"Descendant of Feng Yunong? You are no match for me, die!"
The Fire Rock Dragon on the ground slapped Chang Jie away with its tail, flew towards Feng Jue, and turned into a small dragon and wrapped around her wrist.
"Buzz!"
Fanzhi emitted golden light, and Buddhist sounds murmured in the sky and earth, eliminating the evil spirits. The demon cultivator's face changed drastically, dodged the rebound attack, and stopped in front of Fanzhi.
Feng Jue slowly raised her eyes, flames burning in them, filled with hatred that wanted to tear the demon cultivator to pieces.
"Oh."
How she wanted to smash the evil cultivator to pieces, but what a pity!
pity.
The tip of her tongue rolled across her lips, her eyes were as cold as frost, but her voice was gentle, and she called out tenderly: "03."
She said: When you can't cope, just call my name and I will do anything for you.
A phantom appeared between heaven and earth, silver hair spread out like a waterfall, and a ground made of ice and snow without any emotion.
Looking at the demon cultivator, his silver-white eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
The demon cultivator was startled, "Who are you?"
"Haven't you seen a divine weapon?" 03 floated in the air, holding Feng Jue with his arms outstretched. He pressed his face against hers and said coldly, "She is my owner."
"I am Tong Ling."
"I'm here to kill you."
