Chapter 189 The Riot in the Distance
As a true disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Peak, Wei Shanze possesses an extremely strong physique and is protected by true essence. With the support of his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, he is no weaker than other body cultivators of the same level.
It is even more powerful, otherwise the significance of combining the two would be unclear. It is precisely because it is more powerful than a single path that the difficulty of cultivation is also greatly reduced.
But there's one prerequisite: he can use true essence!
In terms of pure physical strength, he is actually inferior to Wang Yu, who is in the mid-stage of the second tier.
The [Spirit Sealing and Life-Slaying Array] integrates binding, sealing, killing, and defense. As a mid-grade third-tier large-scale array, sealing true essence is one of its functions!
Ding Ming, standing to the side, gradually opened his mouth wide, clearly not expecting Wang Yu's counterattack to be so direct, and his gaze towards him became more wary.
He's really not afraid.
Wei Shanze, amidst his constant screams of pain, gradually lost consciousness and eventually fell into a coma.
The wind and thunder gradually subsided.
After experiencing the Wind and Thunder Secret Technique and the power of his burgeoning physical body, Wang Yu waved his hand to release the Vajra Chains from their confinement and casually snatched Wei Shanze's spatial ring.
Ignoring his purplish-blue body, he grabbed his arm, spun him around for leverage, and threw him far away as if he were throwing away some trash. Then he clapped his hands and walked towards Ding Ming.
"What...what do you want to do..."
"Nothing."
Wang Yu chuckled: "Wei Shanze attacked me on his own initiative, ruined the banquet that I had carefully prepared, and destroyed the table made of my ancient precious wood."
"Isn't it reasonable to use this spatial ring as compensation?"
"A thousand-year-old precious wood..."
Ding Ming rubbed his fingers nervously.
His eyes twitched as he stared at the wood fragments on the ground, a feeling he couldn't quite describe. He regretted not helping Xie Xie'an earlier.
This is a den of dragons and tigers; let whoever wants to go in, go in.
"Give it to me."
Looking at Wang Yu's outstretched hand, Ding Ming suddenly remembered.
"So, it's for repairing your friend's body, right? I'll give you 50,000 spirit stones, and then we're friends?"
"We were friends to begin with. You offended me and ruined our harmonious friendship. Shouldn't you spend some spirit stones to mend our relationship?"
Wang Yu's smile remained unchanged, but Ding Ming decisively took out the money, understanding the city lord's underlying meaning: this was the fee for buying information.
"It's so convenient to deal with smart people. To tell you the truth, neither Wang nor Zhuo Shouqing know the ending of the story, but..."
"If you can collect a set of bloody shackles and chains and then enter the Jingzhao Evil Suppression Prison, you should see a blood-red sword. This item is very likely the possession of that sword cultivator from ancient times."
Ding Ming's eyes lit up, but he looked at Wang Yu with a hint of resentment: "Junior Brother Wang, you know so much about this, have you tried it?"
"No," Wang Yu said sincerely, shaking his head.
"This is based on my current intelligence in Dongjijing and the information Zhuo Shouqing told me. I've deduced that it's 70% likely. You'll see if you try it."
If it's genuine intelligence, how could it only cost 50,000 spirit stones? It should be double that price.
Wang Yu's purpose in telling Ding Ming was naturally to have him explore the area, since he was indeed tempted by the treasures of the ruins, but the timing wasn't right.
If this conjecture can be verified, then the two top-tier Nascent Soul inheritances must be in the Jingzhao Evil Suppression Prison. This ancient ruin is truly terrifying. I wonder what the imperial city at its core is like.
The transaction is complete.
Ding Ming then left, giving him a word of advice before departing.
"Wei Shanze is very vengeful. The Wei clan also has a Nascent Soul ancestor in the Holy Sect, making them a first-class powerful clan under the Gui Fang Zhuo clan. They have a lot of influence in the Barbarian Ghost Peak."
Wang Yu neither confirmed nor denied this, but this was his response.
"Oh? -- What if we were facing the Zhuo clan of Guifang, the Yu clan of Shengshan, or the Zuoqiu clan of Xianyin?"
Ding Ming had nothing more to say.
The matter of the two true disciples was just a minor episode. Since Wei Shanze was still alive, the divine imprint he left in the spatial ring remained very strong.
Even someone with Wang Yu's powerful spiritual sense would need several days to break through the barrier and see what was inside.
A few days later.
Wei Shanze came alone, and when he mentioned that the space ring contained all his important belongings, he cried and complained.
Inside was his most favored weapon, the Purple Lightning Twin Axes. Without this second-tier top-grade magic weapon, his strength would drop a level.
There is also the Tier 3 Spirit Pill, the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill, which can save his life when he is on the verge of death.
He also received two Tier 3 Void Escape Talismans, five Tier 3 Restriction Breaking Talismans, and high-level tools given to him by the Wei family elders, such as array flags, elixirs, and magic artifacts.
There were countless items, most of which were prepared for this exploration. Now that Wang Yu has exposed them all, he doesn't dare to venture into Dongjijing at all.
For this, Ding Ming mocked him for several days, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore and went back to Wang Yu to apologize.
To be honest, Wang Yu was afraid of this kind of thing.
He was just a hair's breadth away from erasing the mark on the spatial ring, at which point all the treasures inside would have been his.
Wei Shanze's visit revealed everything to him, especially the life-saving trump card left by the Wei family elders, which he really couldn't just take.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble afterward.
Even if it's an offensive compensation, it's a bit too much. These second-generation rich kids are not from humble backgrounds after all, and their backgrounds must be taken into account.
in this way.
Wang Yu left Wei Shanze waiting for another day, until he erased the divine sense imprint and confirmed that what the other party said was true. Then, Wang Yu took half of the treasure, including 230,000 spirit stones, scattered precious medicines, and spirit gold.
He left half of them for Wei Shanze, but he didn't touch those life-saving trump cards that only had one piece each.
In the end, Wei Zhenchuan could only leave with a resentful look on his face, but he still had to thank Wang Yu for making the place authentic.
This approach confines the feud to the two individuals, significantly reducing its intensity and preventing it from escalating into a life-or-death enmity.
certainly.
If Wei Shanze were a rogue cultivator, then it would be hard to say. For rogue cultivators or grassroots cultivators, resources are life itself, of utmost importance. But for the young master, they are just a few things.
With his net worth increasing again, Wang Yu intensified his efforts to gather various resources, high-level talismans, and array flags.
He discovered that the formation was damn useful.
Especially when it comes to duels, it's absolutely the only way to win against the odds. The City Lord's Mansion's [Spirit Sealing and Life-Slaying Array] alone has helped him countless times.
He also possesses a set of the [Eight Directions Bewildering Array]. Although it is only a first-tier array, it has immense potential. If the original array flags can be found, it will become a portable third-tier trapping array, which would be extremely valuable.
No one knows where that old man Ning got his chance from.
…………

After this incident, Wang Yu began to focus his efforts on the Guiling City market in his spare time, adjusting the treatment of people involved in alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman arrays to attract more capable individuals to join the City Lord's Mansion.
Continuously expand the scale of the shops under the City Lord's Mansion and occupy more market share.
The first batch of loyal followers of the city lord's mansion who were trained were gradually able to take up their posts. Their cultivation levels were generally at the third level of Qi Refining, but a small number of outstanding individuals broke through to the middle level of Qi Refining.
Especially Xu Ruozhou, the only one with dual spiritual roots, whose cultivation progressed rapidly with the support of the city lord's mansion, had long ago been targeted by Wang Yu who planted demonic thoughts in him.
It's not about obtaining qualifications, but rather a form of insurance.
His four disciples were products of a political alliance and could not possibly become his confidants. Rather than calling them master and disciples, it would be more accurate to say that he was raising a few precious pets and treating them with courtesy.
The purpose of cultivating Xu Ruozhou was naturally to make him a member of the power structure of the City Lord's Mansion. After all, Wang Yu had the sovereignty of Guiling City for three hundred years, and he needed capable subordinates.
If he is loyal enough, he will reap many benefits once he leaves Guiling. If he harbors ulterior motives, his Xuan Yuan Demonic Embryo will grow even further. In any case, he will not lose out.
That day.
Wang Yu sat in front of the alchemy furnace.
Looking at the freshly made second-grade top-quality demon spirit pill, he was very satisfied. This was a cultivation pill he had specially prepared for Xueyu, and with this pill, she could improve her cultivation.
In less than two years, Xueyu will also be able to advance to the third level of Foundation Establishment.
"Eat up, grow quickly. I don't expect you to be invincible among those of the same realm; it would be good enough if you could assist me in battle."
Wang Yu, who was in a good mood, suddenly had a change in expression.
Xu Ruozhou's voice came at just the right time.
"Lord City Lord, something big has happened. Strange phenomena have suddenly erupted at the Dongji Capital Ruins. The cultivators who went to explore the ruins have started fighting. The news arrived half an hour late."
"Bang—"
The palace doors swung open, and Wang Yu said with a hint of excitement.
"Did the photo stone record any images?"
"Yes, it's all written down. The scouts will bring back updates in half an hour."
"very good."
The advantages of having a large force under his command are now becoming apparent. He can know what's happening in the world without leaving home and also earn a lot of resources, which is perfect for him.
As true essence was injected, the image in the image stone materialized, showing the scene of the Dongjijing surface ruins.
The area was initially calm, with groups of cultivators scattered around, forming temporary outposts.
But the peace didn't last long. Suddenly, two sections of the ruins collapsed, revealing bottomless pits.
One gray and one red, two beams of light shot into the sky.
The clouds were swirled into vortexes, and pure malice and murderous intent filled the heavens and earth, with gray and black figures and bloody figures appearing in the sky.
One held a flag, the other a sword.
The two forces clashed violently, resulting in the latest extraordinary phenomenon—[Rakshasa vs. Asura]!
This scene caused an uproar throughout the entire Dongjikyo area.
Several years have passed since the earliest strange phenomenon. Some people have left and some have come. The number of cultivators gathered here is more than ten thousand.
Since it wasn't a secret realm and there were no entry barriers, even Qi Refining cultivators could try their luck. As soon as this phenomenon appeared, almost everyone in the scene rushed towards the pillar of light.
Their fanatical expressions and ruthless methods were commonplace.
Blood was spilled on the ancient ruins, and slaughter spread in all directions. Whoever ran the fastest died the fastest, and even those who lagged behind were still ambushed.
They are opportunists, not interested in the inheritance of relics and treasures, but specifically in the lives and fortunes of those who explore the hidden realms. They are both cunning and cunning, and are exceptionally professional in finding opportunities.
This is a riot from afar!
Wang Yu focused intently on the area below the two beams of light, and as expected, there were several small black dots there; they had been there from the beginning.
