The aura leaked from this person is also at the ninth level of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist, this is a mining city. If I had any brains, I wouldn't dare to kill anyone in the city."

A light laugh was heard, and among the many figures on the street, a man in a brown robe with a round smiling face walked out.

"I followed you all the way from Qianqiu Tower. What do you want?"

Shen Lian spoke coldly, but in fact he had already guessed the man's intention.

If you really want to fall asleep, just use the pillow.

He was just thinking about how to get out of the city and escape to another place when someone came up to him and tried to win him over.

Under the order of the Yunshang Sect, monks are no longer allowed to enter or leave the mining city at will.

If a cultivator wants to hunt down a demon cultivator, he also needs to go to the target location according to the mission location published by the Yunshang Tower to hunt down the demon cultivator.

Hunting down demon cultivators in the city alone would be too conspicuous. It would be better to go out with the crowd.

"This is the main mining city. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so vigilant. I followed you here just to recruit you into our group."

The cultivator chuckled and said calmly, "I think fellow Daoist also knows that the Yunshang Sect has issued an edict that if you want spiritual objects, you need to hunt down demon cultivators to accumulate war merit points."

"I, the Demon Hunter, will naturally go. Why would I need to join forces with others?"

Shen Lian naturally couldn't agree immediately, as that would seem too fake.

"Fellow Daoist, the Tianzhu Mountain mining area is high in the mountains and densely forested. There are countless monsters and beasts, and the demon cultivators are even more difficult to defend against. How can the strength of one person alone be compared to the demons slayed by all of you fellow Daoists together?"

The monk smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you think this is the truth?"

"By the way, my name is Yue Changwen. May I know your name?"

"Lu Shan."

Seeing Shen Lian's expression relax, Yue Changwen was secretly happy and raised his hand to point to a restaurant in the distance.

"Fellow Daoist, it's bad for us to stand on the street like this, why don't we go to the restaurant and have a drink?"

Shen Lian hesitated and thought for a while, then said calmly: "Okay, Lu, I'll listen to what Fellow Daoist Yue has to say."

After a while, the two came to the restaurant and sat down.

"Friend Yue, please speak frankly." Shen Lian said calmly.

"Hey... then I won't hide it anymore." Yue Changwen didn't waste any words and said, "I won't tell you about the news in the mining city. I am from the Yueshan League and I want to invite you to join us."

"Yueshan League?"

"It's like this..."

After Yue Changwen's explanation, Shen Lian understood what the Yueshan League was all about.

After the Yunshang Sect issued the order to kill the demons and gathered the foundation-building monks in the mining area, some monks keenly realized that they were not qualified to fight alone.

Some people began to unite together and formed various monster hunting gangs such as halls, mountains, and alliances.

Yueshan League is such an organization. Different from other small monster hunting gangs, the gang Yue Changwen belongs to is relatively large and has a fake Dan Zhenren in charge, who is Yue Changwen’s elder brother Yue Changshan.

"Fellow Daoist, our Yueshan League does not recruit just any fellow Daoist. Only cultivators above the seventh level of foundation building are our target."

"There are already six cultivators above the seventh level of foundation building in the alliance, plus my eldest brother, Master Yueshan, in charge. Even if we encounter a true Jindan cultivator, we will be able to fight."

Shen Lian pondered for a moment, and just listened to what Yue Changwen said.

If you meet a Jindan cultivator, you never know what will happen.

It is better to believe that Master Yueshan can self-destruct the Tianyan Jade Talisman than to believe that he can fight against the Golden Elixir.

"How about Fellow Daoist Lu? The demon cultivators in Tianzhu Mountain are all ruthless. They even dared to slaughter all the family members and disciples of Master Nanyue. They are not so easy to deal with."

"Fellow Daoist, how do you divide the battle merit points?" Shen Lian showed a hint of interest, but still had some concerns.

"Of course, it will be divided according to how much effort each Taoist friend has put in." Yue Changwen waved his hand, "Don't worry about this. My brother and I have been in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area for a long time. Taoist friends can go out and ask around."

"Fellow Daoists, let's huddle together for warmth."

"Okay, then I, Lu, will respectfully obey your command." After thinking for a while, Shen Lian nodded in agreement.

He didn't care how much military merit he got. As long as he left the city, any hesitation on his part would be disrespectful to his escape.

"Fellow Daoist, let's make it a deal. If you have nothing else to do, you can come with me to meet other fellow Daoists in the alliance."

As a gang that possesses the Fake Dan Zhenren, Yueshan League rented a superior cave in the city as its base.

"good."

Since he had agreed to join, Shen Lian was no longer hesitant.

With his current strength, he is not afraid even if the entire Yueshan League is included.

After a meal, Shen Lian followed Yue Changwen to the cave residence in Yuntian Blessed Land in the city, and met several fellow Taoists who were above the seventh level of foundation building who gathered there.

I also paid a visit to the fake Danyueshan Zhenren.

After Shen Lian sensed it, he found that the strength of this Master Yue Shan was barely comparable to that of Master Qian Shi.

After settling down in the cave, we waited to leave the city.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

The number of cultivators in Yueshan League has also reached thirteen, all of whom are at the seventh level of foundation building, and five of them are at the ninth level of foundation building.

With the addition of a fake Dan Zhenren, the overall strength ranks among the top three among all monster hunting gangs.

This was not the evaluation of our own group, but the evaluation of the busybodies in the city.

The number one gang, the Demon Slayer Alliance, was founded by Jindan Nanyue Zhenren.

The second is Wushan Hall, which was formed by two fake Dan Zhenren.

The third is Yueshan League.

Of course, this is the situation before the disciples from various sects arrive. Once the disciples from various sects arrive, the situation will be very different.

"Fellow Taoists."

Yue Changwen flew from the direction of the Yunshang Tower, and his voice was heard before he entered the cave.

"The mission has arrived. Go to Hanshan Mining City."

Fake Dan Zhenren Yue Changshan flew out first and headed towards the city gate, and the others followed behind.

After leaving the main mining city, Master Yue Shan summoned a large flying boat and headed towards the northeast of the mining city.

They sped along at lightning speed, passing quickly among the mountains. Everyone sat cross-legged in different places on the flying boat, regulating their breathing.

Half a day later.

The spirit boat had already left the main mining city of Yunshang, and Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up.

"Friend Lu, what are you doing?"

On the spirit boat, Yue Changwen also opened his eyes.

Shen Lian turned around and grinned at Yue Changwen.

With a whoosh, the flying boat rushed out and crashed towards the mountains and fields below.

"Friend Lu!"

Zhenren Yueshan, who was piloting the flying boat, also saw Shen Lian stand up, but as Zhenren Jiadan, he naturally didn't need to ask any questions. But he didn't expect Shen Lian to jump up all of a sudden.

“Stop!”

Master Yue Shan stretched out his hand, which turned into a huge palm and slammed towards the place where Shen Lian fell.

Boom! The ground collapsed, the mountains cracked, and rocks flew everywhere.

Zhenren Yueshan's spiritual thoughts swept across the four directions like lightning, but there was no trace of Shen Lian in his spiritual thoughts at all.

Either his divine power is stronger than his, or he has some rare treasure.

Unable to find anyone, Master Yue Shan suddenly turned around and glared at Yue Changwen.

"I……"

"I I...he he...I..."

…

Shen Lian, who had drilled underground, jumped up directly, and Yue Shan’s strength was not enough to find him.

After escaping for a hundred miles, he burned his identity jade talisman and his military merit jade talisman into ashes.

He withdrew from the main mining city of Yunshang first.

As for whether I will come back in the future, we will talk about it later.

As for the rules of the mining town, I wonder if there will be any trouble next time I come here.

What rules, what troubles? Jindan Zhenren is the rules, no troubles.

Even if he comes again next time, he will be a Jindan Zhenren.

Go all the way south, looking for a place to replenish your spiritual roots, refine the embryo of a thunder-attributed magic weapon, and advance to the golden elixir.

The only pity is that I didn’t find the spider silk and the Xuanming Stone, but it’s not a big problem. I can visit other large immortal cities when I get out. At worst, I can buy them at a high price.

Hiding in the mountains and fields all the way, they soon arrived at the first-line sentry post outside the mining city.

Outside the Qiushan outpost, Shen Lian hid in the valley and sensed the light and dark outposts. The dark outposts near the main mining city were hidden deeper than the small mining city, and there was a line of restrictions underground.

This location is the weak spot of the underground restriction.

Patrols on the sentry line have also been stepped up, and all monks passing by will be stopped and inspected.

The only difference is that Shen Lian wanted to rush out, and the monks who appeared near the sentry post all came to eliminate demons and defend the way with the righteousness of slaying demons.

After quietly waiting until night, Shen Lian used the earth escape technique to drill under Qiu Mountain. His identity jade talisman and other things had been burned to ashes, so he was not worried about being sensed by the detection magic weapon in the sentry post.

According to his perception, there was only one fake elixir cultivator in the mountains and fields nearby.

It's not a big problem.

Shen Lian quickly tore open a small hole in the restriction that spread deep into the earth, and escaped with a whoosh.

After he had escaped for more than ten miles, suddenly, a bright green light illuminated the night sky, and an incomparably powerful divine thought poured down from the sky.

"Um……"

Feeling the divine consciousness sweeping over him, Shen Lian was suddenly startled and hurriedly drilled deeper into the ground below.

It can't be such a coincidence, how could a Jindan Zhenren just happen to pass by.

“Buzz!”

In the mountains and fields, green light dispelled the darkness and transformed into green leaves several inches in size, slowly rotating.

A graceful figure emerged in the middle of the rotating green leaves, and at first one could see white feet gently touching the leaves.

Soon, the leaves fell down little by little and spread under the soles of the feet, revealing slender and white legs. Extending upwards again, there were ups and downs and fullness, and the face of a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl looked at the dim mountains and fields with a hint of indifference on her lips.

"When we are fighting against demons and defending the Way, you dare to escape from the battlefield?"

The soft and sticky voice was clearly transmitted to Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness, emitting a chill.

This allowed Shen Lian to be sure that he was not just passing by.

He should be the Jindan Zhenren who is stationed at the sentry post.

Shouldn't Jindan Zhenren stay in the mining city to play the piano, watch dancing, and discuss philosophy? These rough jobs in the wilderness should be left to Jiadan.

This made Shen Lian, who was burrowing deep into the earth, stiffen for a moment, and then he ran wildly towards a farther distance.

Now that you've come out, it's impossible to go back.

Besides, although the pressure from this Jindan Zhenren was strong, it did not exceed his expectations.

In the sea of ​​divine consciousness, the soul-calming talisman was held in the arms of the little soul figure, and it easily suppressed the turmoil caused by the divine consciousness that had just fallen.

This also shows that the strength of this Jindan Zhenren is at most at the early stage of Jindan, and has not created an irresistible gap with his spiritual power.

"I wonder if using my Soul Binding Seal three times in a row can kill... seriously injure this Jindan Zhenren?"

Shen Lian swallowed the Yellow Dragon Pill he had prepared earlier, ready to deal with any emergency.

He didn't want to fight directly with Jindan Zhenren, otherwise he would be regarded as a demon cultivator.

This is not alarmist, but a real possibility. The right to speak lies with the Yunshang Sect. If you say it is you, then it is true, and if you say it is not true, then it is also true.

"Humph, you can really run!"

In an instant, a divine thought turned into a leaf and was drawn into the sea of ​​divine thoughts.

In the sea of ​​spiritual thoughts, Shen Lian's spirit figure grabbed the soul-calming talisman and smashed it up.

“Crack.”

The town soul talisman collided with the leaves, and both sides shattered into ripples of divine thoughts.

If it were a normal cultivator, his sea of ​​​​mind would definitely be impacted, but the little man of divine consciousness was sitting cross-legged on the sea of ​​​​mind, not moving an inch, and just waved his hand.

"Hua La La" purple light flashed in the four corners of the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and four small town soul talismans flew out, easily suppressing the soul power that was about to turn into ripples and form turbulence.

In the air above the mountains, Master Qingyi, who had originally looked nonchalant, suddenly showed surprise on his face.

There is something strange! At the same time, Shen Lian's Five Elements Escape Technique was constantly transforming, and the soil, rocks, trees, and rivers he encountered could not stop him at all.

"Well, you still dare to run!"

Sensing the figure in his mind disappearing, Master Qingyi's expression gradually turned cold.

"go!"

Suddenly, in the vast jungles in the mountains and fields on all sides, scattered trees glowed with green light, and the lush leaves swayed gently, making a whirring sound.

Although these spiritual woods are not of high grade, they are found everywhere in the mountains and valleys. They are what she has cultivated bit by bit over the years.

…

"If you dare to run again, I will kill you!"

The cold voice sounded again, and Master Qingyi lightly tapped his brow, and a purple leaf flew out, emitting a pressure that swept in all directions.

In an instant, the purple leaves flew across mountains and fell towards a valley.

At the same time, Shen Lian's eyelids twitched, and five small town soul talismans appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness with a whoosh, directly surrounding the head of the soul figure, forming a small talisman formation.

In an instant, the purple leaves that rushed into the sea of ​​​​divine consciousness were suppressed, and then torn into pieces by the little man of divine consciousness.

Then, he emerged from the earth and landed on a mountain top.

"Junior Lu Shan, nice to meet you, senior."

At this moment, Shen Lian's face showed a look of surprise and extreme respect as he saw a master.

"Why, you're not running anymore?"

In the void, Master Qing Yi, who was stepping on green leaves, sneered and said calmly, "Without even an identity jade talisman, what's your intention in sneaking out of the sentry post in the middle of the night?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. He sensed the rich wood spirit from this woman. He then looked at the trees that were glowing with spirit in the dense jungle all over the mountains. Suddenly, he realized where he had been exposed.

“I have met you, my junior, and I have no other intentions. I came to the mining city to buy spiritual objects for my family. Manager Wang of Qianqiu Tower can attest to this.

The demonic cultivators are in turmoil right now, but I, as a young man, have been entrusted with a great responsibility by my family, so I have no choice but to return to my family first to send the spiritual objects back before I can fight the demons and defend the Way."

"You are a silver-tongued person. Even so, you can leave openly. Why do you have to be so sneaky?"

True Man Qingyi's eyes were as bright as stars as he stared directly at Shen Lian, and his spiritual thoughts enveloped the surroundings.

Sensing the aura lingering around him, Shen Lian was thinking about how to respond as he spoke.

The power of this female cultivator's spiritual power should be one third stronger than his, which is due to the strong pressure exerted by the third-level golden elixir realm.

If you use the Soul-Binding Seal three times in a row to severely injure it, and then take the opportunity to smash out the Tianyan Jade Talisman Formation, there is a 70% chance of killing it.

Only 70%, a bit less.
