Chapter 199 Ambush in the Tiankeng
In the next half month, undercurrents surged in Wangyue Fairy City.
The Lin Chamber of Commerce has been targeted by several waves of unknown forces, and has suffered all-round suppression at all levels including distribution, processing, review, supervision, and sales.
A large amount of overstocked seafood cannot be sold, and all cooperative merchants have canceled orders. Chamber of Commerce clerks have been warned and even detained by law enforcement monks in the city. Business licenses have been temporarily removed, and they are required to make corrections before they can be put back on the shelves, etc.< br>
Now Lin Shan finally understood the influence of the Dai family, a cultivation family in Wangyue City. They were worthy of being a mining giant, and they were able to penetrate all aspects of their relationship and thwart him across the industry.
Moreover, as the boss behind the scenes, his location in the cave was also discovered, and the other party did not deliberately hide it. Several groups of people monitored him day and night every day.
There is a rule that fighting and killing are not allowed in Wangyue City, and Daoist Jindan of the Dai family has no intention of breaking it. This time it was different from the mass attack on the ancestor of the Li family, but a personal matter for him. It was a bit difficult for him to handle it alone, but there were more solutions than difficulties.
According to the Black Skull Demon Lord, an internal management monk in the city who he once managed revealed. In another half month, they will be issued a forced expulsion order by the Mochizuki City Internal Affairs Office. Once Jie Shi leaves the city, they will be surrounded and killed!
Lin Shan realized that the situation was not good, and the Dai family's Jindan master had begun to calmly make plans. If he followed others' pace, he would probably fall into passivity.
As long as they stay in the city, due to the rule of not fighting, their lives are safe for the time being. If once they leave the city and lose their security, the Dai family will have no scruples. With their powerful influence in the Lu Kingdom cultivation world and the fact that Master Jin Dan is personally pursuing him, it can be said that they cannot escape.
When the time comes, kill them, steal the Chamber of Commerce tokens and land deeds, and then return to the city to devour the property!
"What should we do now? If we stay here, we will wait for death. Should we give up our property and flee early, knock out our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs?"
Lin Shan discussed with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord in the yard. Not to mention the Lin Chamber of Commerce's property of two to three hundred thousand spirit stones, it would make anyone feel uncomfortable to just abandon it and run away.
He still has the seafood spirit "channel" that the Dai family wants. If he can't get this kind of thing for a day, the Dai family's golden elixir master will not let him go for a day. He will definitely mobilize all the forces to dig deep to find it. He couldn't even think about moving to another place to practice peacefully.
Unless they leave Lu directly and go out of the scope of the Dai family's influence.
Otherwise, you will be in trouble and never have peace!
But then again,
It would not be difficult for him if he escaped in advance now. With the 74 points of ancient rhyme in his hand, if he strengthened the "Wind Escape Talisman" and turned it into a small magical talisman, he would not be able to defeat him, but at least he could outrun it.
With Gu Yun's reserves to protect him and the confidence to save his life, he was not particularly panicked.
However, he originally planned to keep these ancient rhymes to prepare for his breakthrough to the golden elixir stage. You must know that cultivation is the foundation of everything. There is no need to strengthen the external things in advance unless it is critical.
Moreover, I had just arrived in the Lu Kingdom for more than ten years, and it was quite comfortable to practice peacefully here. I originally planned to practice until the late stage of foundation building was completed in one go, and then go out to explore.
But if you think about it carefully, at that time, you could only deepen your cultivation after leaving seclusion, and your strength would not be much improved compared to now.
We are both in the late stage of foundation building, and whether it is perfect or not has little to do with combat power. It is not impossible to escape now.
It’s just that the Lin’s Chamber of Commerce has such a big plate.
Lin Shan's "money rather than life" nature has been exposed. He has been thinking about ways to break the situation for the past half month. However, as a mining giant in the cultivation world, the Dai family has deep roots and huge influence. He really cannot shake it.
As for the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who was an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage, this clone had also returned to the late stage of Foundation Establishment early. He didn't seem to be too afraid either. Instead, he asked Lin Shan a question.
"Brother, do you still remember something I told you when we were passing through Yinchuanfang City in Huainan during the Song Dynasty?"
Lin Shan was suddenly interrupted from his thoughts and could not react for a moment.
"You mean."
"There is a time limit for my stay in this world. If I cannot return to the golden elixir stage within thirty years to extend the time of my arrival, I am afraid I will be forcibly recalled by the hell world itself."
"Ah, I almost forgot!"
Lin Shan slapped his head. Ever since Master Huang Xian gave him the golden page of the contract and re-signed the contract with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, he had thought that this guy would never have the chance to betray him before the Nascent Soul stage, so he put most of his thoughts on it.
Doing the math now, it seems that nearly 27 years have passed since the last time I passed through Yinchuanfang City!
If the Black Skeleton Demon Lord cannot break through the golden elixir stage within three years, he may lose such a helping hand.
The Black Skull Demon Lord is also reluctant to leave because he is thinking about the innate spiritual treasure in Lin Shan's hands, so the two have their own agendas, and neither one wants to leave the other for the time being.
"You are now in the late stage of foundation building and have obtained the konjac fruit, so the only difference is"
"The corpse of a golden elixir stage monk who has been sitting for no more than three months!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord continued his words excitedly, but Lin Shan realized it immediately.
wrong!
Just at this critical moment, when this guy was about to be summoned away by his main body, a golden elixir stage monk suddenly came to trouble them. Is this really such a coincidence?
At this time, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord felt that the topic had been discussed. He rubbed his bone hands with anticipation and said the plan he had conceived in the past few days to break the situation:
"I think we should not run away in a hurry. We can lay a trap and strike first to kill the golden elixir-level monk from the Dai family."
"My mother knew it!"
Lin Shan suddenly stood up and slapped the stone table hard, pointing at the bridge of his nose with anger.
"You must have taken the initiative to expose your wealth and deliberately seduce others, right? Let the Jindan master of the Dai family think that we are fat sheep, so you tempted him to take action to achieve your goal!"
Although he has been in seclusion for these years and doesn't know much about the outside world, how can he not guess the cause and effect of all these messy things?
Although the "Lin Chamber of Commerce" is getting bigger and bigger, it will take at least several decades or hundreds of years to develop if it wants to attract the attention of the big capital in the world of cultivation. It can only monopolize and break the local market of Wangyue City and spread to other fairy cities in Lu State. Qualified enough.
Now it has just been developing in Wangyue City for more than ten years and has just started to make progress in the seafood and aquatic products industry. How can it possibly attract the attention of a cultivation family like the Dai family?
And also a mining magnate!
They are engaged in mining, have nothing to do all day long, and pay attention to the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce in the aquatic industry. Isn't that a disease?
Unless
Was this Dai family's Golden Core Master specially "screened" after years of research by the skeleton monster?
No wonder he never leaves the house, hides in a corner and practices quietly for more than ten years, and is still being targeted for no reason. It’s because he has a sixth man next to him!
Lin Shan figured out many key points in an instant and turned around to stare at this guy.
The Black Skull Demon Lord looked a little embarrassed and touched the "slightly protruding" occipital bone on the back of his head:
"Brother, I have been in this world for 27 years, and I will be forcibly repatriated in less than 3 years. Therefore, it is urgent to restore the golden elixir stage, so I have to take this step."
The Black Skull Demon Lord was afraid that he would find it unreasonable to use a mobile phone, so he specifically explained:
"Actually, this real person from the Dai family is a golden elixir-level monk who has made breakthroughs in the past ten years. He has a relatively shallow background in the Dai family of the cultivation family. He lacks connections and various resources, so he urgently needs to acquire industries in the cultivation world to expand his own. Power.
When this person was deployed to Wangyue City, he accidentally learned about the Lin Chamber of Commerce and felt that our industry would have the opportunity to grow bigger in the future. This would provide him with a large amount of financial support to cultivate his power in the future. I did not agree to the acquisition, so I He has other thoughts and plans to kill us and then embezzle the industry.”
Finally, he added: "If I return to the golden elixir stage, not only can I continue to stay in this world, brother, you will also have a high-level combat force, and it will be much safer to walk in the world of cultivation." Lin Shan then sneered again and again. , and Xiao Jiujiu who did not continue to dismantle him. Now that the gap has been forged, he can only dismantle him at first sight.
The Jin Danqi of the Dai family was lured into the trap by the fishing law enforcement and became interested in seeking wealth and death, which shows that he is indeed not a good person.
However, the Black Skull Demon Lord caused trouble for himself by making unauthorized assertions, which made Lin Shan furious. Although it has always had a cooperative relationship with Lin Shan, the alien creatures summoned by him have challenged his bottom line again and again.
Although due to the golden page of the contract, it is restricted from murdering itself, but since it dares to provoke the Golden Core monk, it means that it has a certain degree of confidence in dealing with it, and is planning to make a desperate move and make a big bet.
After experiencing this crisis, Lin Shan made up his mind that as long as he breaks through the golden elixir stage and has the strength to walk alone in the world of cultivation, he won't need this guy by his side. Just send it out to build your own power to search for Gu Yun, and just be a harvesting tool.
This kind of time bomb may cause accidents at any time if it is left by his side. Even though he has many trump cards that he does not know, he cannot completely trust him. The only one he trusts in this world is himself.
However, now that he was being targeted by the Dai family's Jin Dan, he still had to deal with it seriously.
The spiritual awareness and attack range of monks in the Golden Core Stage are more than one mile, which is more than five times that of the Foundation Establishment Stage. The gap is very large.
That is to say, when your consciousness is still wandering within a hundred meters, but five hundred meters away from the range, the opponent has already taken out a magic weapon and smashed it at you. Not only is it too late to react, but you are also unable to resist it.
A head-on confrontation is definitely a matter of life or death.
However, he knew that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord must have a plan, otherwise he would not engage in such a little ninety-nine under the constraints of the contract. If the real person of the Dai family's golden elixir is not defeated by then, its clone will definitely be thrown into the street, and the hell body will be destroyed. That side will also be affected by the backlash of the contract.
Lin Shan walked around the courtyard for a long time before he raised his head and asked, "How sure are you?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord quickly assured: "Don't worry, I have purchased a large amount of materials in the past few years, and with enough phantom wood, I can lay out a super phantom array and weaken his strength by 30%."
"Only 30%?"
"I also found out about a deadly sinkhole three thousand miles outside Wangyue City. I can use the terrain to set up a deadly formation and contain 30% of his combat power."
"Oh? That means that with continuous weakening, he can only exert 40% of his strength."
Lin Shan felt a little relieved. There were multiple layers of ambushes, plus the use of mountains and terrain. He began to compare the cards in his hand, repeatedly calculated the winning rate of this battle, and asked one last question just to be on the safe side.
"What is his cultivation level?"
"Early Golden Elixir."
……
The two of them summed it up in the yard, discussed and finalized all the details, and finally felt that the odds of winning were high, so they simply escaped from Wangyue City in hiding overnight, speeding along the way, heading northwest as fast as they could.
The next day, after the Jindan Master of the Dai family in the city heard the report from his subordinates, he did not expect that his opponent would dare to leave the city for protection and leave early, so he quickly left the city to catch up.
Lin Shan didn't care about saving money along the way, after using the Wind Escape Talisman more than ten times in a row.
"Wow~"
Without noticing, the high-level talisman that I had treasured for a long time in my hand suddenly became hot!
Lin Shan was so excited that he quickly stopped agitating. He had no doubt that if he used it again, the talisman would spontaneously ignite in the wind.
After using it for so long, it seems that its service life is approaching its limit.
He sighed slightly, without too much surprise. The Wind Escape Talisman was indeed a good treasure in the foundation building stage. However, now that he was in the late stage of foundation building, he had no pressure to deal with monks of the same level. He faced high-level monks with the Wind Escape Talisman. Not enough
After all, it is just a high-level spell, and it would only make sense if it was enhanced into a small magical talisman.
But he is about to break through to the golden elixir stage. In comparison, it is more meaningful for Gu Yun to leave the breakthrough. There is no need to waste points for a consumable product. Cultivation is the foundation of everything.
Moreover, he did not cover his aura or traces during this trip. The Wind Escape Talisman was just to save distance and use the saved time to set up the formation.
During the foundation building stage, he could fly at full speed of two hundred miles per hour. As a wind cultivator, Lin Shan could reach four hundred miles. In addition, the Wind Escape Talisman helped him save hundreds of miles, and he reached the Juesha Heaven, three thousand miles west of Wangyue City, overnight. pit.
At this time, the real Jindan of the Dai family had just received the news and was speeding out of the city.
"Based on the escape speed of a Golden Core Stage monk, the speed is close to five hundred miles per hour, which translates to one thousand miles per hour, which is about three hours."
Lin Shan felt that time was running out. Seeing that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord had already begun busy arrangements, he felt a little anxious secretly and took out the virtual star disk.
In the Juesha Tiankeng, which is about a hundred miles in radius, there is a gloomy air and dark clouds. There are many deep holes as big as bowls on the ground that lead to unknown places, and "clusters" spit out filthy evil spirits.
This spiritual treasure itself can detect and utilize the earth's veins, and can also assist in setting up formations and serve as formation boards. Deployment at this time can also greatly increase one's winning rate.
The weapon spirit Xiaoxin emerged from the spirit treasure, followed Lin Shan's instructions, and helped the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. The two formed the formation together more efficiently. In terms of formation attainments, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord is just a formation master. Xiaoxin has the help of a virtual star disk to deduce, and is equivalent to a formation master.
It's just that Qi Lingkong has great attainments, but he is not flexible enough, and the methods of arranging various formations and formations also need to be learned and accumulated.
So in the end, it was almost the Black Skeleton Demon Lord who was setting up the formation, and Xiao Xin was helping him. While this guy was busy directing Xiao Xin to control the evil energy of the earth veins, he secretly learned Xiao Xin's formation techniques.
Two hours later, the formation was completed, the weapon spirit Xiaoxin returned to the Lingbao body, and the virtual star disk flew to the center of the sinkhole and slowly sank into the ground.
After the Black Skeleton Demon Lord explained it, Lin Shan roughly understood the functions of the two formations.
[Phantom Spirit Awe-inspiring Array]: A maze illusion formation made of a large amount of phantom spirit wood as the main material. When you are in it, you feel like you are in a deep mountain forest. The dense woods overlap your line of sight, and there is no way out under the vast expanse of blue waves.
[Five Ghost Yin Evil Formation]: The evil energy gathered in the evil sky pit here condenses into five ghost generals. Each one has a strength close to the golden elixir stage. They can sneak attack, defend, contain and harass. Only However, there is the worry of rebellion by listening to the tune but not the propaganda. Fortunately, Lingbao Xuxingpan personally suppressed the formation eyes, and these ghost generals condensed with evil spirits could only obey orders obediently, and they would also receive a steady stream of evil energy support.
Lin Shan nodded. These two formations were indeed master-level formations that could compete with the Golden Core stage. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord said before that each formation could offset 30% of the strength. I'm afraid it was not a lie.
Next, everything is ready, and all we have to do is wait quietly for the arrival of the Dai family's golden elixir master.
