Chapter 494: Become a disciple
Changle County, Shuangmu City.
The city walls, built of blue boulders, surrounded a large city. At the east and west ends, there was a wooden tower more than ten feet high, from which one could see the whole city and the mountains in the distance.
The Lin family built an inner city in the city, which was only connected to the South Gate. The inner city was heavily guarded by a large group of guards and magic arrays.
Gao Xian brought Dongfang Liuyun to the outside of Shuangmu City. From thousands of feet in the sky, they could clearly overlook Shuangmu City. However, there was a faint magical aura in the inner city, like a translucent gauze curtain, covering the inner city but not the bright lights in the inner city.
There was a full moon in the sky, and under the moonlight, the lights of Shuangmu City were twinkling, looking peaceful and harmonious.
Dongfang Liuyun stared at the inner city with hatred on his face. With his level of cultivation, he certainly couldn't see through the barrier of the magic circle, but he knew that Lin Pingyang and his group must be celebrating their victory in the inner city.
A blue light flashed deep in Gao Xian's left eye, and he could see clearly inside and outside Shuanglin City.
There are three magic arrays in this city, one in the big city, one in the inner city, and one in the ancestral temple in the inner city. The three magic arrays are intertwined and quite exquisite. If pushed with all your strength, it will be enough to reach the fourth level.
If you encounter a Yuanying Zhenjun, you can resist him a little. Well, you can probably delay a little time and give everyone a chance to escape.
If it were ordinary golden elixirs, even eight or ten of them would find it difficult to break through the magic circle by force.
Although Shuangmu City is not as prosperous as Lianyun City, its magic array is more powerful than Lianyun City. Changle County is managed by clans, and there are very few sects.
Gao Xian used Taiyuan Shenxiang to travel around Yunzhou and had some general understanding of this continent.
Mingzhou is strictly divided into thirty-six counties, and the thirty-six counties are divided into thirty-six clans. Each level has a strict number limit and the organizational structure is very regular.
Yunzhou is quite different. It is barely divided into thirty-six counties, but the situation in each county is very complicated and is divided into thousands of clans.
A clan is established by a golden elixir. If there is no second golden elixir in a few hundred years, the clan will be ruined. However, a sect can maintain its prosperity by absorbing a large number of foreign talents. Therefore, a clan is far less stable than a sect.
With the invasion of the Southern Wilderness demons, the original balance was broken, and the battles between the major clans became more frequent and fierce. The Dongfang family was exterminated, which was just a small microcosm of Yunzhou and was not surprising.
If it weren't for the Red Emperor's Lihuo Jiuyang Sword, Gao Xian wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
After looking all over Shuanglin City, Gao Xian didn't sense the aura of the Red Emperor's Lihuo Jiuyang Sword, which made him feel bad.
Yunzhou is so vast that he could easily find the Dongfang family and Dongfang Liuyun. One reason was because of the information from Tianbao Tower, and the other was that he could sense a kind of guidance from somewhere.
To put it simply, he possesses four magic swords, which have a mysterious resonance with the remaining Chidi Lihuo Nine Yang Sword and Nine Yang Seal.
This mysterious resonance could save him countless time. If Xuanhua came over, he would be in the dark and look around, but there would be no breakthrough. Even if he went to Tianbao Tower to ask for information, it would be difficult to find anything.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Others use nets, but he has a huge magnet in his hand. The chance of success is much higher.
Although he was so close, Gao Xian didn't sense the aura of the Red Emperor's Lihuo Jiuyang Sword. He couldn't help but suspect that Dongfang Liuyun was lying to him.
It would be too stupid for him, a dignified Jindan Zhenren, to be tricked by this kid and used as a gun.
Having said that, it would be very difficult to deceive Dongfang Liuyun with his ability. There is a huge difference between a person telling a lie and telling the truth.
Especially when it comes to such a serious lie, abnormalities will appear in everything from the body to the mind, magic power, and so on.
Gao Xian didn't dare to say anything else. It was difficult for a Jindan of the same level to lie to him, let alone a small Qigong practitioner. If Dongfang Liuyun had this ability, he would have nothing to say if he was deceived.
Anyway, the Lin family is not a good family, so just kill them.
When Gao Xian brought Dongfang Liuyun into the inner city, the inner city's magic circle began to operate spontaneously, and the magical aura like a gauze curtain suddenly became stronger.
The inner city's protection level is obviously higher. Without a pass token, you will be blocked by the magic circle.
Dongfang Liuyun showed a bit of worry on his face. He had been discovered by the magic circle before even entering the inner city. Things would be even more difficult next time!
He felt that this White-Clothed Jindan Zhenren was a bit too arrogant. It was simply brainless for him to bring him with him to break into the Lin family.
Even if they wanted to fight, they should have challenged outside the city. If they couldn't win, they could still run away. If they rushed into Shuanglin City, they couldn't run away even if they couldn't win. Dongfang Liuyun didn't dare to persuade them, so he could only hold on.
Facing the barrier formed by the spiritual light of the magic circle, Gao Xian changed his mind and activated his sword intent, and the magic circle barrier in front of him was torn into a huge crack by the platinum sword light.
Dongfang Liuyun's eyes widened. Gao Xian didn't chant a spell or hold a seal, didn't use a magic talisman, didn't use a magic weapon or sword, and directly used the sword light to cut through the magic circle. What kind of ability is this? He knew a little about the level of Jindan, but he had never heard of Jindan Zhenren having such ability. He couldn't understand it at all.
This also made him excited. With such a powerful person, it should not be difficult to kill the Lin family ancestor? Gao Xian had already locked onto the only golden elixir aura in the inner city. After breaking the magic circle, he took Dongfang Liuyun and went straight to a large mansion in the back.
The ancestor of the Lin family was communicating about physical knowledge with two concubines in the room. He was startled when he sensed the vibration of the magic circle. While he was wondering what was going on, a cold and eerie sword intent had already broken through the numerous obstacles and fell on him.
The Lin family's ancestor was startled. He hurriedly put on his robe, took out the mountain-breaking hammer, and hurried to the courtyard.
At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky. Gao Xian and Dongfang Liuyun stood in the wind, with a full and bright moon behind them. Dongfang Liuyun was not worth mentioning, but Gao Xian, who was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, had a noble and cold demeanor, like an immortal.
The Lin family ancestor had seen Dongfang Liuyun and recognized this remnant of the Dongfang family at a glance. It was obvious that this kid had brought people to seek revenge on him!
But when did the Dongfang family know such a powerful Jindan? It seems that he is also a sword cultivator! The Lin family ancestor couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Sword cultivators are good at fighting and can always easily suppress cultivators of the same level.
The man in white broke through the formation. Although his sword intent was hidden, his sharp aura still made him feel tremendous pressure.
The Lin family ancestor, who had lived for nearly five hundred years, encountered a Jindan sword cultivator for the first time. The old man was a little panicked. He clenched the central token of the Liuhe Zhumo magic array in his left hand and managed to calm down.
No matter how good a swordsman is at fighting, the Liuhe Zhumo Magic Formation can suppress 70% to 80% of his cultivation. What can this man use to fight him!
The Lin family patriarch did not want to fight with the other party. He took the initiative to bow and said, "I am Lin Pingyang. I didn't know you were coming and I was unable to greet you from afar. Please forgive me."
Dongfang Liuyun looked at the shining bald head of the Lin family's ancestor. He gritted his teeth in hatred. It was this despicable and shameless old man who suddenly attacked his grandfather and killed the only Jindan powerhouse in his family.
Thousands of lives in his family are all blamed on this bald guy!
At this moment, the old man was so kind and respectful, which was really disgusting. He hurriedly said to the white-clothed real person beside him: "Senior, this person is insidious and cunning, don't be fooled."
Gao Xian ignored Dongfang Liuyun and said to the Lin family ancestor: "The Nine Yang Sword is in your hand?"
The Lin family's ancestor's expression changed slightly. This man came up and asked about the Nine Yang Sword without any concealment, and it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He groaned for a moment and said, "The Nine Sun Sword is my family's heirloom sword. If you are interested, we can have a good chat."
"You're talking nonsense."
Gao Xian saw that the old man was not sincere, and there was deep malice hidden in his true and false words. It was troublesome to deal with such an old guy.
He said to the Lin family patriarch: "I will let you die knowingly. I promised Dongfang Liuyun to avenge his family. This is because you have killed too many people, and this is what you deserve."
The Lin family's ancestor was horrified. Without waiting for Gao Xian to finish his words, he hurriedly activated the Liuhe Demon-Slaying Formation.
The spiritual light gathered from the six magic arrays above, below, left, and right was like a barrier, trapping Gao Xian inside. The magic array guided the spiritual energy of the earth veins, and the upper limit of its power was comparable to the Nascent Soul level.
The golden elixir is trapped inside and may even be crushed to death by the huge magic power of the Liuhe Formation.
The Lin family patriarch held the central token in his hand and activated the Six Combinations Demon Slayer Hammer, the strongest variation of the magic circle. The six magic powers gathered into a huge black hammer and hit Gao Xian directly.
Just as the black giant hammer fell, Gao Xian suddenly disappeared. The next moment, Gao Xian appeared next to the Lin family ancestor.
The horrified ancestor of the Lin family hurriedly urged the Mountain-Breaking Hammer to sweep across, but a cold snow-white sword light brushed past the ancestor's neck first. In an instant, the neck was broken and blood gushed out, and the ancestor's head flew off.
When the swordsmanship reached Gao Xian's level, it was too easy to kill Jin Dan. Moreover, he took a shortcut and used Taiji Xuanguang Wuxiang Tianyi to escape from the control of the magic circle.
Such a mysterious and wonderful secret technique is far beyond the realm of the Lin family's ancestor.
Dongfang Liuyun, who was standing above, was stunned. In his eyes, the Lin family's ancestor, the Jindan Zhenren, who was extremely powerful, was beheaded by a single sword.
This is easier than killing a chicken.
Dongfang Liuyun looked at the man in white again, his eyes full of awe and admiration.
Gao Xian briefly checked the storage bag of the Lin family ancestor and did not find the Red Emperor's Lihuo Nine Yang Sword, which made him a little disappointed.
He first collected the body of the Lin family ancestor with a flick of his sleeve. After all, he was a golden elixir that dominated the area, and he had a small fortune that could not be wasted. The mountain-breaking hammer in this man's hand was also a third-grade upper-grade spiritual weapon, which was very high-grade.
The huge noise caused by the operation of the magic circle also alarmed the Lin family masters in the inner city.
Soon, several foundation-building masters from the Lin family came running over. When they saw Dongfang Liuyun, they attacked without hesitation.
Gao Xian killed four foundation-building members of the Lin family in succession, which made the Lin family calm down.
What followed was a frank conversation. After a round of questioning, Gao Xian finally confirmed that the Nine Yang Sword was not in the Lin family. Instead, it was sold to Tianbao Tower by the Lin family decades ago in exchange for a large number of spirit stones and elixirs. As a result, the Lin family prospered greatly...
This matter is a secret of the Lin family, and not many people know about it. It is normal that Dongfang Liuyun does not know about it.
Gao Xian had been prepared for this and was not disappointed. Once it fell into the hands of Tianbao Tower, it would be much easier to find.
After leaving the Lin family, although Gao Xian did not get the Scarlet Emperor Lihuo Jiuyang Sword, he did not intend to embarrass Dongfang Liuyun. This trip was not in vain, at least he knew the exact whereabouts of the sword.
Gao Xian said to Dongfang Liuyun: "The Lin family's ancestor is dead, and the Lin family's collapse is inevitable. You have also taken revenge."
Before Gao Xian could finish, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly knelt down and said, "Senior, I want to become your disciple..."
