Chapter 215 Guiling's Theatrical Performance (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
As Wang Yu's auction drew to a close, Qingyang was still regretting that he didn't have the funds to make a purchase of his desired treasures.
at the same time.
—In Guiling City! A grand drama is about to unfold!
Having heard about the deep-sea silver deposits, Master Tianshui hurriedly traveled from the distant Golden Toad City to Guiling. After a day of rest, he was about to continue his journey when...
Ye Qing, the owner of Guiling Branch, took the initiative to come to his door.
While deliberately exaggerating to highlight the arrogance and disdain of the city lord, they also completely belittled Master Tianshui and deliberately misled people about spirit stones.
Then……
Master Tianshui remained surprisingly calm. He chuckled and said, "Your name is Ye Qing, right? You're Miaoshan's subordinate. I've heard her mention Lord Guiling City. Although he's arrogant and eccentric, he's not without intelligence. Whose orders are you following?"
Ye Qing immediately broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't speak.
Master Tianshui was a peak Core Formation cultivator, only one step away from Nascent Soul Condensation. With his weapon-refining skills, and being in the behemoth Jinmanlou, which was famous in both regions, he was a formidable figure.
He could have exchanged his contributions for a Nascent Soul Pill long ago, but he didn't. He was actually accumulating his skills and wanted to refine a fourth-tier magic weapon while still in the Core Formation stage.
In this way, when he breaks through to a higher realm in the future, he will be able to seize that opportunity to elevate his weapon-refining skills to a level that is infinitely close to the middle grade of the fourth rank.
This is called making good use of the opportunity to break through to a higher realm. It is also a common method used by powerful forces to cultivate masters of all arts. Some geniuses also do this, seizing every opportunity to become stronger.
Facing such a powerful figure who was only a little over 500 years old, Ye Qing naturally felt immense pressure.
Master Tianshui sighed softly.
“Young man, those who are two-faced will not have a good end. Although Miaoshan is imprisoned, she is far from reaching her limit.”
"No matter whether you side with Jin Lin, Jin Chixuan... or Jin Xuanxuan, you won't live much longer."
"Shut up!"
Ye Qing's expression was ferocious. He knew this principle all too well, but... what choice did he have?
Jin Miaoshan was in seclusion and unable to protect his weak subordinates. When Jin Lin sent people to his door, what right did he have to refuse? His Ye family also lived in Jinchan City!
Jin Miaoshan had suffered a setback at Wang Yu's hands and was punished by the building. Furthermore, due to the trouble with the inheritance of Dongjijing, she was forced into seclusion.
Those of them who were her subordinates found it really difficult to have absolute faith in her.
Just then.
Ye Qing activated the token given to him by Jin Lin, the very thing that controlled the assassins. The top of this branch building once again became the center of Gui Ling's gathering.
In the blink of an eye.
Nine assassins, wearing iron masks and shrouded in black mist, surrounded Master Tianshui, who was sitting in his seat. The assassins all possessed the aura of being at the ninth level of the Core Formation stage.
Since the goal is to deal with Master Tianshui, Jinlin naturally dispatched his elite forces. Such high-level assassins are not easy to train, and the loss of even one is a serious loss.
Upon seeing this, Master Tianshui burst into laughter.
"Besiege a weapon refiner? What's the difference between that and breaking into the lair of a formation master? If these people die, Jinlin will probably have to hide away for a long time."
"Oh--"
Ye Qing was also resigned to his fate and didn't care about the consequences.
“Jin Miaoshan has already failed once in Guiling City. If this happens again, the losses Jin Manlou will suffer will be enough for her lineage to atone for three thousand years!”
As he spoke, he crushed another bead.
Inside the city lord's mansion, True Man He Gu, disguised as Wang Yu, swaggered onto the throne that belonged to the city lord. Sensing this, I felt somewhat uneasy.
The plan was not implemented in the normal order or at the appropriate time.
Logically speaking, it would be more in line with what happened next if Tianshui died in the city lord's mansion.
He is the key figure in instigating the massacre at the building.
Giving a direct order might have been a bit too abrupt, but the die was cast and the pieces on a crucial line of action had already begun to move. Even if something unexpected happened, he couldn't stop it.
"Buzz—"
As if yesterday were happening again, the way He Gu Zhenren chose was even more touching. He conjured up a hundred-meter-tall image of Wang Yu's upper body, with even his eyelashes clearly visible, and his voice resounded throughout the city.
"Gui Ling, heed my command!"
"All those under the Holy Sect's command who admire the Holy Sect's prestige shall, by my decree, slaughter the Guiling Branch Tower. All spoils of war shall belong to their respective owners, and I, Wang, guarantee that they will never be taken back."
This declaration was almost exactly the same as what Wang Yu had said many years ago. After enjoying himself, Master He Gu disappeared into the air above the City Lord's Mansion.
Full of vigor and ambition, they were full of confidence and determination!
With a large chop, silence fell.
He Gu: "..."
I'm sweating a bit, what's going on?
If Wang Yu could command people, why can't he? No... it should be said that the Wang Yu of the past could command people, so why can't the Wang Yu of today?
The reason is actually quite simple.
The Guiling City Guard and Patrol Army have grown to a considerable size.
They didn't move, the North District didn't move, the Guan and Jiang families didn't move, the staff running their respective shops didn't move, and the branches of the three Jiedan factions stationed in the city didn't move.
In addition, the exploration of Dongjijing is currently in a low period.
There are very few Core Formation experts in the city. If they commit a major crime, they are likely to be investigated. Even with the "famous" City Lord Wang leading the way, there is a lack of audacious individuals willing to take the lead.
This is due to practical reasons.
Psychological factors also played a role. For example, last time Wang Yu went back on his word and even cooperated with Jin Manlou to promote the project in Yunling Prefecture, blaming everything on the temporary worker.
The failure of the Fragrance Gathering was also a major blow to Wang's prestige. Everyone remembered that the street in front of the City Lord's Mansion had only been repaired not long ago.
The combined effects of real-world and psychological factors, coupled with Wang Yu's prior instructions, contributed to the situation.
Some of the weaker cultivators immediately fell silent.
Just as Master Hegu stood frozen in mid-air, somewhat at a loss,
"Boom—"
Next to Tianbao Pavilion, in the central district, not far from the City Lord's Mansion, the Guiling branch building instantly collapsed under the powerful force, and Ye Qing's life force disappeared.
Nine figures, working in perfect unison, wielded crescent blades, slashing out black lines filled with eerie, corrosive power. The slashes covered the sky and almost a quarter of the central city area.
The Tianbao Pavilion, located nearby, is about to suffer an undeserved disaster.
Pavilion Master Han Jia quickly lifted Tianbao Pavilion and, with his magical power, rapidly pulled it into the high sky. He looked at Wang Yu (He Gu Zhenren)'s figure with astonishment in his eyes.
He appears to be the only one unaware of the situation.
Amidst the ruins.
Master Tianshui sat calmly on the stool, an umbrella-shaped magic weapon spinning above his head, its golden light shield protecting him well.
Those black slashes, concealing deadly intent, lingered in the air for a long time, yet they couldn't shake the golden light shield in the slightest.
Tianshui took a sip of tea and said helplessly.
"Jin Lin actually passed on the [Divine Power - Shadow Ghost Prison] to you. This is the inheritance of Wuying Xuanjun. You are becoming more and more presumptuous."
As he spoke, his gaze pierced the distance and fixed directly on He Gu Zhenren.
"I don't like you. Jin Lin has gone mad, sacrificing the interests of the building to eliminate his rivals, and even taking advantage of external pressure from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect."
"Even if he gets rid of Miaoshan, can he still use the same methods to compete with Jin Chixuan and Jin Xuanxuan?"
At this moment.
He Gu Zhenren knew that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
He then ended his disguise and came to the vicinity of Master Tianshui.
He said, “Senior, Young Master Jinlin means that we just need to do it. Whatever the consequences may be, Young Master will naturally bear them. We are just executors.”
"No matter which young master or young lady is in power in the future, we will still be the sharpest weapon of the Jin family."
"well--
"I'm getting old, so I like to complain, and I've become a bit of a chatterbox. Are you sure you still want to kill me? It's not too late to back down now."
He Gu Zhenren shook his head.
"The order to halt has not been issued. Regardless of the cost, the plan will proceed as scheduled. Senior Tianshui... you can't hold on for much longer."
Looking at the nine assassins who were constantly creating silent waves, almost completely destroying a corner of the central city, and still attacking, and the unmoving golden light shield.
He Gu's unease grew stronger.
Tianshui then went on to explain, proudly introducing the products made with his exquisite craftsmanship.
"You have no idea how many magical treasures a well-resourced weapon refiner would prepare for himself. Want to take a guess?"
He Gu pondered for a moment.
"Five items? Senior Tianshui, even if you have many magical treasures and can deal with all kinds of situations, your magical power is limited."
"It seems you still don't understand."
Tianshui pointed to the umbrella-like canopy overhead.
"This is a top-grade third-tier magic treasure, the Heavenly Net Umbrella. It was my failed attempt to refine a Nascent Soul magic treasure, and it was originally meant to be a treasure for overcoming tribulations."
"Unfortunately, the immunity to lightning has disappeared, leaving only pure defensive capabilities. Do you see the beaded chain hanging from the edge of the Heavenly Net Umbrella? Each bead on it is equivalent to a Golden Core."
"These are the external pills that I refined using the golden cores of you death warriors. Do you want to count how many there are?"
Master He Gu was astonished and actually started counting.
"One...one hundred and eight..."
"Haha, that's right."
With such a massive supply of magical power, coupled with the Heavenly Net Umbrella, a top-grade magic treasure with only defensive functions, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator arrives in person, they wouldn't be able to break it even if they bombarded it until their magical power was depleted.
This is the skill of a powerful weapon refiner; with ample resources, they can create monsters that are invincible within their realm.
Master Tianshui is not good at fighting, so he can only strengthen his life-saving methods to the extreme. He has only revealed a part of his strength. If he were to escape, he could also show an astonishing speed.
He Gu Zhenren's expression was complicated.
“Young Master Jinlin, you haven’t told us about your abilities.”
"He doesn't actually know much."
Master Tianshui's expression turned serious. He held four black pellets between his palms, each crackling with lightning and containing terrifying power.
"Young people, this is your last chance."
With a wry smile, He Gu unleashed his own natal magic weapon.
"Senior, let's begin."
The next moment.
Thunder roared, as if a heavenly tribulation was unfolding on a massive scale in the city. The city lord's mansion's formation was automatically activated, and the entire central district was wiped out by the lightning.
The nearby eastern and northern districts were also affected, with half of them being impacted.
--fortunately.
The city guards were large enough that they began evacuating residents and cultivators as soon as the changes began, but some people were still affected and perished in the sea of lightning.
When the thunderstorm subsided, the dust-covered Master Tianshui emerged from the ruins, looking at the rubble that had turned to dust, leaving only gray and black remnants.
He muttered to himself.
"The Thunder Tribulation Pill was too destructive. There were no spoils left, a huge loss. Moreover, the Heavenly Net Umbrella cannot guarantee absolute safety."
"senior."
Xu Ruozhou landed hastily, looking fearfully at the kind-faced old man before him. In just this one move, at least tens of thousands of people had died.
Tianshui turned around and laughed.
"Please thank your city lord for me."
"--yes!"
