Chapter 953: Arrogant
Shixianggou, just by hearing the name, you know that it is definitely not a good place.
It is said that the corpse gas near Shixianggou is thick, and it was even a gathering place for ghost cultivators and corpse refiners in the early years. Later, the Yin Shang Realm cultivators joined forces to kill them all.
Even so, Shixianggou is still a very dangerous place near Yanshi City.
The status of Luohunyuan in Jizhou Realm is equivalent to that of Shixianggou in Yin Shang Realm, and neither is a pleasant place.
Even Lei Shen and Yan Mo frowned unconsciously when they heard these two place names from Tan Daoji, and were quite surprised.
Could it be that those tripods and furnaces were imprisoned in Shixianggou and Luohunyuan?
This matter is easy to verify. As long as the two of them rush to Shixianggou and Luohunyuan to explore, they can get to the bottom of it.
But if what the foundation-building cultivator said was true, then the matter would be a bit serious...
How could the Huajian Sect and Xuandao Sect, two small sects belonging to Yinshang Territory and Jizhou Territory respectively, come together and do business with the East Sea Monster Clan?
Perhaps, there is a bigger support behind them?
After a little thought, Lei Shen and Yan Mo decided to explore the two places mentioned by Tan Daoji - if Tan Daoji was talking nonsense, they would need to find clues again and track the smuggling case; if what Tan Daoji said was true, while rescuing those Dinglu female cultivators, they could also follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just because Tan Daoji claimed to be an outer disciple of Huajian Sect, Lei Shen would naturally not let Yan Mo take such an important witness away.
Therefore, Lei Shen protected Tan Daoji and slowly ascended into the air.
After the two left the riverbed, the Huangtian River, which had been dry for a long time, finally began to flow again.
Above the Huangtian River, Lei Shen and Yan Mo faced each other from a distance.
"Thunder God! In this duel, I, Yan Mo, was indeed one step behind, but don't think I will be convinced. This matter - is not over! And this little cultivator in the foundation building stage is a crucial witness. You must not lose him..."
"Yan Mo! You should take care of your own business!"
"Hmph! Thunder God! Don't blame me for not reminding you: I heard that Yanshi City, one of the six major cities in your Yin Shang Realm, has a group of natural treasures, which has led to the large-scale migration of cultivators in my Ji Zhou Realm to the south. If the matter of Luohunyuan is resolved, I, Yan Mo, will definitely come to Yanshi City in person!"
"My Yin Shang Realm's affairs are not your turn to be in charge of Ji Zhou Realm!"
"Ha! My Yan Mo's affairs are not your turn to be in charge of, Thunder God!"
The words were not in line with each other, and Yan Mo glared at Thunder God fiercely, then turned into a ball of flowing fire and flew north.
Thunder God pondered for a moment, then casually wiped his hand and manifested a flying boat.
With the cultivation of Lei Shen, he naturally didn't need to use a flying boat, but considering the existence of Tan Daoji, Lei Shen used his middle-grade flying boat Lei Guangzhou!
A flash of lightning appeared, and Lei Guangzhou disappeared with Lei Shen and Tan Daoji.
After a long time, the moon had set.
An illusory figure suddenly slid from the Huangtian River to the south bank of the river.
Xiao Mian wiped off the water stains on his body with a serious expression.
Xiao Mian was in that cave the last time, and the reason why he was not discovered by Lei Shen and Yan Mo was because he also risked his life.
In order to avoid the detection of the divine consciousness of Lei Shen and Yan Mo, Xiao Mian not only activated the power of the Yu Shen Mirror to the maximum, but also used the vacuum shadowless escape method!
The vacuum shadowless escape method is the supreme method recorded in the secret book of the vacuum way "The Vacuum Shadowless Way". When cultivated to the Mahayana realm, it can enable the cultivator to reach the vacuum realm.
The empty is not empty; the vacuum is the ultimate emptiness!
It is said that after practicing the vacuum shadowless escape method to the extreme, even if this person is standing in front of you alive, you can't see him, touch him, or even feel him - it's as if there is no such person in the world you live in!
Xiao Mian's "Vacuum Shadowless Dao" was revised halfway through, and naturally it is far from reaching the Mahayana realm.
But even so, the divine mirror combined with the vacuum shadowless escape method still allowed Xiao Mian to successfully avoid the spiritual scans of Lei Shen and Yan Mo.
Fortunately, Lei Shen and Yan Mo, one from Lei Zhen Palace and the other from Yan Ji Sect, are not from the vacuum path. If Li Jingnian and other people were here, perhaps they could see some flaws in the "Vacuum Shadowless" escape technique performed by Xiao Mian...
In short, Xiao Mian had a full view of the conversation between Tan Daoji and the two.
Xiao Mian was amazed at Tan Daoji's deception.
To put it another way, even if he stood in Tan Daoji's position, he might not be able to do better than him. If he was not careful, he would get into trouble.
Tan Daoji was smart, but he just acted as a mouthpiece.
All the speculations above were made by Lei Shen and Yan Mo themselves.
Only the "Corpse Valley" and "Falling Soul Plain" mentioned at the end were what Xiao Mian got out of Yu Mingyuan and Zhang Yanjun.
Tan Daoji did not lie about these two places.
In this way, even the amazing people like Lei Shen and Yan Mo were kept in the dark...
This old guy should not be underestimated!
Having said that, Tan Daoji did help Xiao Mian a lot.
After all, whether it was the sixth-level fish monster Ran Jiu, Yu Mingyuan or Zhang Yanjun, they all died at the hands of Xiao Mian. After Tan Daoji's reversal of right and wrong, it was clear that Ran Jiu disagreed with Yu Mingyuan and Zhang Yanjun and had a fight.
As for Xiao Mian, the culprit, he was picked out instead...
While rushing towards Songyue Market, Xiao Mian silently calculated in his mind.
Of course, he had to go to Shixianggou, not only to rescue the imprisoned female cultivators, but also to see how the Thunder God displayed his divine power.
However, Shixianggou could not be escaped, so Xiao Mian decided to rush back to Songyuefang Market first.
If it was as expected, Songyuefang Market was already in a commotion...
Sure enough, when Xiao Mian rushed back to Songyuefang Market, the huge Songyuefang Market was as quiet as a small room, which was a world of difference from the previous bustling crowd.
The flow of people in Songyuefang Market was reduced to less than half, and most of them were unfamiliar faces like Xiao Mian.
Those old-timers who mingled in Songyuefang Market chose to hibernate like snakes and frogs in winter...
Just because they received a message: Yu Mingyuan was dead!
A cultivator like Yu Mingyuan would definitely have his natal jade tablet enshrined in the Huajian Sect's resident. Last time, he and Zhang Yanjun died at the hands of Xiao Mian, and Yu Mingyuan's natal jade tablet was broken. How could this be concealed?
There is no wall that is impenetrable. When those local snakes who have been hanging around in Songyue Market for many years heard this news, how could they not know that the bloody storm is not far away?
That morning, a group of Huajian Sect disciples dressed in white entered Songyue Market. Although most of these Huajian Sect disciples were foundation-building cultivators, and there were only a few Jindan cultivators among them, the huge Songyue Market did not dare to act rashly.
Just because, the leader of Huajian Sect, Yu Weinian, is a Yuanying ancestor after all!
It is said that Yu Weinian had a son in his later years and loved Mingyuan very much.
Now that the old man is sending the young man away, it is not too much for Yu Weinian to do anything crazy.
At this time, the Huajian Sect was like a hungry tiger!
Just when the entire Songyue Market seemed to be avoiding the sword of the Huajian Sect, some people were not happy and stood up to challenge the Huajian Sect disciples.
When Xiao Mian saw Fu Xigui's outstanding figure, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The one who challenged the Huajian Sect disciples was the Western Sword Cultivator Fu Xigui.
The cause of the incident, but it was not the fault of this foreign cultivator from the Western Land...
The Huajian Sect entered the Songyue Market in a big way, and those who were prudent and self-protective were naturally afraid to avoid it, but who was Fu Xigui?
Not only was his combat power amazing, but he was also arrogant and conceited, and he couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
At that time, Fu Xigui was drinking by himself in Wangyue Tower, and the foundation-building disciples of the Huajian Sect surrounded a second-generation ancestor of the middle-level Jindan and entered Wangyue Tower.
Xiao Mian could easily guess what happened next...
The arrogant second-generation ancestor was punished by Fu Xigui, but this angered the Huajian Sect, and then it turned into a confrontation between Fu Xigui and the Huajian Sect.
Brother Fu, Brother Fu!
You really make me worry-free, and even found a reason for me...
Seeing Fu Xigui surrounded by a group of Huajian Sect disciples, Xiao Mian did not immediately go to rescue him. How could those foundation-building cultivators be in Fu Xigui's eyes?
In Fu Xigui's eyes, they probably didn't exist at all!
Those Huajian Sect's foundation-building disciples also know their own suffering.
The Jindan intermediate cultivator who was severely injured by Fu Xigui before was Yu Minghong, the son of Huajian Sect's great elder Yu Zuoyuan, and also Yu Mingyuan's cousin.
Fu Xigui almost didn't move his eyes or hands, and let Yu Minghong, a Jindan intermediate cultivator, die without knowing whether he was alive or dead. How dare these foundation-building cultivators act rashly?
But for the reputation of the Huajian Sect, they had to muster up the courage to fight against Fu Xigui. One can imagine how scared they were.
Fortunately, Fu Xigui didn't take them seriously. If it was a Jindan cultivator who took human life lightly - for example, most people in the cultivation world would definitely not mind killing people. How many people would wait there after hurting people like Fu Xigui?
Fu Xigui was waiting!
Those Huajian Sect disciples were waiting!
Xiao Mian, wasn't he waiting too?
What they were waiting for was naturally the high-level cultivators of the Huajian Sect to come and deal with this matter.
Perhaps because of Yu Mingyuan's death, the entire Huajian Sect was mobilized, and therefore, soon, several escape lights rushed into Songyue Market.
Although the scale of Songyue Market is large, the specifications are not high. Most of those who come in and out are foundation-building cultivators, and even Jindan cultivators are rare.
Therefore, the air ban in Songyue Market is only for foundation-building cultivators.
In other words, those rays of light that ignored the forbidden air ban of the market town were clearly all Jindan cultivators!
At this time, the foundation-building cultivators who surrounded Fu Xigui were all delighted, as if a bullied child saw his father.
At this time, Fu Xigui raised his eyelids, but soon closed his eyes.
Others may not know why Fu Xigui was so arrogant, but after Xiao Mian saw the coming momentum of the rays of light, he almost laughed out loud...
Judging from the speed and condensation of the rays of light, the highest cultivation level among those rays of light was only the high-level Jindan, and there was not even a top-level Jindan cultivator!
How could the arrogant Fu Xigui take such a dilapidated lineup seriously?
