Chapter 144: Traitors of the Righteous Alliance, Internal Crisis
Lin Chen stopped as he stepped on the flying sword.
Looking with interest at a monk dozens of feet away.
This monk had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a righteous face. At this moment, his face looked horrified, and he said to Lin Chen:
"Fellow Taoist, these demon cultivators have been chasing me for a long time, and they still look at me. Friends, help me!”
As he said that, the monk stepped on the flying sword and subconsciously approached Lin Chen.
Lin Chen stood there without moving, squinting at the figures further away.
Three or four monks gave chase and stopped ten feet away in front of Lin Chen.
After sizing up Lin Chen for a few times, the monks said with a ferocious smile:
“Boy! We, the Wild Wolf Sect, are doing our work. I advise you to get as far away as you can and don’t get involved! ”
"Otherwise, you will be killed and your cultivation will not be guaranteed for a hundred years. Don't blame us for not reminding you!"
After hearing this, the monk of the Righteous Alliance who was being hunted became anxious and said quickly:
< br>"Fellow Taoist, I don't know if you are a colleague of my Righteous Way Alliance, but I have important information to report, and it is of great importance..."
As the Righteous Way Alliance monk said this, he leaned towards Lin Chen .
When he was still ten feet away from Lin Chen, Lin Chen spoke.
"It turns out that the Wild Wolf Sect is behind you! I'm just a casual cultivator and have no intention of getting involved in the struggle between you..."
"Well, I'll leave now!"
Said, Lin Chen controlled the flying sword, turned around and prepared to leave.
After hearing this, the monks from the Wild Wolf Sect were stunned.
The monks of the Righteous Alliance who were being hunted were also stunned...
"Fellow Taoist, why are you..."
Seeing Lin Chen running further and further away, the monk from the Righteous Dao Alliance stopped pretending.
He snorted coldly and said:
"I thought I met a fat sheep, but I didn't expect it to be a softie... Everyone, stop acting and just come with me to chase him!"
< br>"Yes, elder!" The disciples of the Wild Wolf Sect changed their arrogant demeanor and said respectfully.
So the five monks chased Lin Chen together.
When Lin Chen felt the killing intent behind him, he sneered.
As early as the moment these monks appeared, Lin Chen guessed that they were in a group.
After all, according to Lin Chen’s perception, the monk who was being hunted had completed his foundation building.
The next few people chasing after you are in the early stage of foundation building...
Although he hid his aura, how could he escape Lin Chen's perception.
“Tsk, tsk, I can’t hide it anymore! The fairy dance scene actually tricked me...”
After Lin Chen escaped a few hundred feet, he deliberately let go Slowed down.
The monks quickly caught up, throwing spells at Lin Chen behind him.
But many of the spells were blocked by Lin Chen's body-protecting essence.
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and four flying swords flashed past, instantly killing the four foundation-building monks of the Wild Wolf Sect.
The only elder of the Wild Wolf Sect who had completed the foundation building was also shocked.
He snorted coldly: "I thought you were a fat sheep, but I didn't expect you to be a tough one..."
"You are really unlucky! Otherwise, I will kill you. You will be punished by the sect master after you return..."
Instantly killing four disciples in the early stage of foundation building, this elder of the Wild Wolf Sect can do it even if he thinks he can do it.
So he activated the true energy in his body and slashed at Lin Chen with several flying knives.
......
A moment later, the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect looked horrified, stepped on his sword and ran away like crazy.
"Monster, how can there be such a strong foundation-building monk? His method is not much worse than the fake elixir!"
The elder of the Wild Wolf Sect looked at the lost Zuo Arm, he gritted his teeth and donated his blood and essence, activating the secret technique, and his speed became three points faster.
He turned into a ray of red light and fled frantically towards the rolling mountains to the north.
On the other hand, Lin Chen was chasing behind him calmly.
Always maintaining an ambiguous distance, seemingly trying to catch up, but always falling behind.
While chasing, Lin Chen shouted:
“Wherever the thief runs, everyone in the devil will find him and kill him!”
Occasionally, he would use two flying swords to pass by the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect, so frightened that he didn't even dare to look back.
But in fact, Lin Chen didn’t even need a second sword if he wanted to kill just a few people to build a perfect foundation.
This time, his goal is not just as simple as killing these Wild Wolf Sect monks.
Lin Chen left this Wild Wolf Sect disciple alive just to find the Wild Wolf Sect’s stronghold nearby.
“The Wild Wolf Sect has already moved its entire family away from the territory of Yanlai a year ago. However, here is only more than two thousand miles away from Changchun Gate, but we can meet the foundation-building monks of the Wild Wolf Sect...”
"I think there should be a stronghold nearby..."
"If you want to do it, you must do it with a big one!"
Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
It would be best if you can kill the Pill-forming monks of the Wild Wolf Sect this time. If you can't meet them, it makes sense to kill dozens of Foundation-building monks to relieve your hatred.
Although it has been several years, the death of senior brother Cen Wushan is still fresh in my mind.
In the final analysis, senior brother's death has nothing to do with the Wild Wolf Sect.
......
So, Lin Chen pursued him all the way.
After flying for more than a hundred miles, I saw the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect escaping into a deep mountain somewhere.
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly and he stepped up his pace. Sure enough, he saw the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect activating a hidden formation and disappearing into the mist in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, what about the mist illusion array and protective array? It's a little trick..."
Lin Chen summoned Long Ba and Feng Jiu with a wave of his hand, and then walked into the confusing array with the two puppets.
The surrounding fog was so thick that I couldn't even see my fingers.
But Lin Chen didn't panic at all, his consciousness surged in all directions like a tide.
The maze array does have the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness.
But there is an upper limit...
With Lin Chen's golden elixir stage spiritual consciousness, coupled with the increase in Tianyan Jue.
This is just a psychedelic array with limited interference.
Lin Chen turned around a few times in the formation and quickly locked the target. He raised the corner of his mouth and ordered Long Ba:
"Blast that boulder into pieces!"
Long Ba raised his hand when he heard this, and a nano bomb flew towards the situation several feet high in the distance.
Boom!
After hearing a loud noise, the boulder was instantly blown to pieces.
After the dust dispersed, a natural cave behind the boulder was revealed.
At the same time, the fog among the mountains quickly dissipated.
"It turns out that there is a cave hiding behind this stone! And this stone is also where the eye of the maze formation is..."
Lin Chen snorted coldly and gestured to Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
So the two martial arts puppets went in front, and Lin Chen followed behind, slowly exploring the depths of the cave.
This cave is naturally formed, has a large internal space, and is often blocked by forks and stone walls.
After it became the stronghold of the Demon Sect, the interior was improved many times, so the space was larger and could possibly accommodate thousands of people.
As soon as Lin Chen entered the cave, the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect who had fled earlier showed a ferocious smile.
“It’s true that there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you run in!”
“Just three people, how dare you invade the territory of our Wild Wolf Sect!”
Beside him, several monks who had completed their foundation building were also looking at Lin Chen.
"Old Wang! You made a big mistake by bringing people into this cave stronghold this time! How will our stronghold be used in the future?" A monk with Perfect Foundation Establishment asked in distress.
"I am forced to have no choice. This kid has some strength! He is chasing after me, so I can only escape back to the stronghold... But I am afraid this kid is a big fish! Let's take action together!"
That was Lin The elder of the Wild Wolf Sect who was being chased by Chen shouted twice.
Then seven or eight monks who had completed their foundation construction took action towards Lin Chen.
All of a sudden, all kinds of magic weapons and spells were thrown towards Lin Chen.
Seeing this offensive, Lin Chen did not panic at all, but calmly released his body-protecting essence.
The offensive attacks of the seven or eight monks who had completed the foundation building and were in the later stage were completely blocked within three feet of Lin Chen, and not even a hair on Lin Chen's body was hurt.
Then Lin Chen's heart moved. Under the shock of true energy, all the magic weapons and spells were bounced away.
"This...how is this possible?!"
"You said this is a foundation-building monk? Where did you provoke a pill-forming monk!"
This The seven or eight Foundation Establishment monks were all shocked and quickly turned back to question the elder of the Wild Wolf Sect.
If you are just a foundation-building monk, no matter how strong you are, it is impossible for a single body-protecting Qi to block so many magic weapons and spells...
Only a pill-forming offensive can achieve such a huge crushing effect.
"What the hell, why are you still standing there? Run! Go and inform the helmsman..."
The seven or eight monks instantly lost their thoughts on fighting and fled in all directions, heading towards Run towards the inside of the cave.
Even the elder who was chased by Lin Chen at the beginning was stunned.
He looked at Lin Chen in surprise, and clearly asked three words in his eyes: "You play me?"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, and with a wave of his hand, a flying sword passed through his throat. .
Lao Gao was splashed with blood, and his good head rolled down.
Before he died, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Wasn’t the accuracy of the flying sword very poor before?
Why is it so accurate this time?
Lin Chen did not stop, but took a few steps forward, and then the sword light flashed by.
In just a few breaths, the seven or eight foundation-building monks all drank in the underworld...
Lin Chen stepped over their corpses without stopping at all. The gap between golden elixir and foundation building is so terrifying.
With a gap of several times the true energy and mana, no matter how powerful the magical power is, it will be difficult to have any effect.
With the absolute strength gap, ordinary foundation builders would hardly have any chance to fight back.
After killing the several foundation-building monks guarding the gate, Lin Chen's consciousness dispersed into the cave like a tide.
In an instant, the intricate terrain and passages inside the entire cave were clearly visible.
At the same time, under Lin Chen’s induction, the other Demon Sect monks hiding in the cave had nowhere to hide.
"One, two...five...thirteen..."
"Well, there are twenty-seven monks in total, all in the foundation building stage...Tsk, tsk, it seems that this stronghold is not small!"
>
Lin Chen touched his chin, then raised his eyebrows.
In his spiritual perception, the aura of one of the monks was obviously much stronger.
"Fake elixir monk...oh, there is also a big fish!"
Lin Chen did not stop and continued to move forward.
Although this cave is hidden, it also has a fatal flaw.
That means there is no room for escape!
As long as Lin Chen groped towards the depths of the cave, those demon cultivators hiding in the dark would not be able to escape, and they could only be killed by Lin Chen.
Not long after walking, Lin Chen saw several foundation-building monks rushing towards him.
Holding a spiritual sword and magic weapon, he looked like he was showing off his teeth and claws.
"Well, this momentum is pretty good..."
Lin Chen commented lightly, not even slowing down.
A few rays of sword light flashed through, and there were a few more corpses on the ground.
Lin Chen just walked all the way towards the inside of the cave.
A few minutes later, he saw more than ten foundation-building monks gathering together, and the leader was the fake alchemy monk.
"Who are you! How dare you be an enemy of our Wild Wolf Sect?"
"My senior brother is Ling Xuzi, the leader of the Wild Wolf Sect...I am the helmsman of the Demon Sect..."
The fake alchemy monk stared, looking very fierce.
He said a lot, as if he wanted to force Lin Chen back from his momentum.
"Tsk, tsk, why do monks in the world of immortality like to declare their family status?"
"Look at this momentum, it's quite fierce!"
Lin Chen muttered.
Faced with more than a dozen foundations and a fake alchemy monk, Lin Chen became a little more serious.
Twelve flying swords were slashed out together in an instant.
Not surprisingly, the dozen or so foundation-building monks didn't even have a chance to resist, and were killed directly.
With Lin Chen's current spiritual control skills, the power of a single strike from the imperial weapon can exceed a million pounds.
Really, one force can defeat ten societies...
The cautious fake elixir monk also froze on the spot.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"So fast..."
There was only one thought in his mind.
When he came back to his senses, he felt his eyes spinning, looking at his headless body, and finally fell into darkness forever.
Lin Chen shook his arm and shook off the blood stains on the sword.
“The posture is pretty good, but it’s a pity that it’s a silver pewter spear head...”
Lin Chen made a brief comment and then began to clean up the results.
There are about thirty storage bags in total, which contain many magic weapons, spiritual stones and elixirs.
This group of demon cultivators are not just casual cultivators who are struggling with poverty, they are quite wealthy.
The total value is no less than one hundred thousand spirit stones, which is a considerable fortune for Lin Chen.
But what interested Lin Chen was what was in the fake alchemy monk's storage bag.
Lin Chen broke the restrictions on the storage bag, except for the mountain of spiritual stones, a few magic weapons and elixirs.
What interested Lin Chen even more was a pile of letterheads.
These letters record the monks and forces that this stronghold has come into contact with over the past year.
The Demon Sect is strong and the Righteous Alliance is weak. After all, there are many casual cultivators and even immortal cultivators who turn to the Demon Sect.
The transactions and information exchanges between them were recorded...
In other words, these letters record many rebel forces and casual cultivators in Yanlai territory!
Even traitors among some big forces!
“My dear, I really found a big fish!”
Lin Chen muttered, and then started to read the contents of these letters.
Most of the letters were what Lin Chen thought. Some small forces had contacted the Demon Sect in advance, thinking that they would have a place in the event that the Righteous Alliance was defeated.
Over the past year or so, there have been no fewer than twenty small families and factions that have interacted with each other...
But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that among these factions there were old acquaintances of Lin Chen.
“Did any of the four major families collude with the Demon Sect?”
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, this was not good news.
The four major families in Yanlai City are almost the strongest local forces in Yanlai except the Changchun Clan.
If one surrenders to the Demon Sect and cooperates with others at a critical moment, it will have a huge impact on the entire war situation.
"But fortunately, I discovered it in advance... If he really rebels by then, maybe he can use his tactics?"
Lin Chen thought silently.
After that, he destroyed all the evil cultivators in the entire cave stronghold.
After blowing up the cave exit, he left this barren mountain.
All the way he flew towards the Purple Smoke Realm.
This time Lin Chen’s goal is still to do business on the front line.
As for the encounter with the Demon Sect on the way, it can only be regarded as an unexpected gain at best.
……
One day later, Xinliang City.
Lin Chen's arrival surprised Governor Shao.
Even he didn't expect that Lin Chen would actually come back...
As soon as Lin Chen entered the city, Shao Wenmin dropped everything he was doing and ran away all the way. come over.
"Senior Xu! Have you taken care of the trivial matters of relatives and friends?" Shao Wenmin's eyes were full of energy.
Lin Chen shook his head and sighed:
"City Lord Shao, I do have some things to do, and I can't help you guard this city for the time being..."
"However, I can recommend someone whose strength is no less than mine! Let this good friend of mine guard Xinliang City. , couldn’t be more appropriate!”
After saying that, Lin Chen winked at Long Ba.
Shao Wenmin heard that Lin Chen still didn’t want to stay. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still cheered up and asked:
“I don’t know how to call this senior?”
"Long Ba." The puppet Long Ba spoke concisely and only gave a brief answer.
"This..." Shao Wenmin suddenly felt embarrassed. He originally wanted to be polite and familiar with him.
Lin Chen saw this and said quickly:
“Shao Zhenshou, my friend is taciturn by nature, and he likes to be quiet and doesn’t like talking to others.”
“But There is no doubt about his strength!”
Lin Chen lowered his voice and said: "Fellow Daoist Long entered the middle stage of alchemy formation ten years ago."
Hearing this, Shao Zhenshou's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Long Ba with more respect.
He immediately said:
"Senior Long, I request you to guard Xinliang City. No matter whether the enemy comes to invade or not, the Righteous Alliance will provide you with a salary of fifty thousand spiritual stones a year. ."
"If the enemy attacks, there will be additional rewards for each defeat!"
"I wonder if senior is willing?"
Long Ba had already received Lin Chen's instructions, so he nodded and said:
"Yes. However, I like purity by nature, and I will practice alone on weekdays. If there is no Don't disturb me if it's important."
After hearing this, Shao Wenmin nodded repeatedly and said:
"Senior, don't worry, I will definitely prepare a quiet mansion for you, and I will ensure that you will not be disturbed by others. Excuse me.”
After a pause, Shao Wenmin said to Lin Chen again:
"Senior Xu, for introducing a mid-stage pill-forming monk to join our Righteous Alliance, he should be rewarded with 30,000 spirit stones."
After that, Shao Wenmin counted out 30,000 spirit stones and handed them to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took it with a smile, already feeling happy.
“My dear, let’s introduce a pill-forming monk with thirty thousand spirit stones…then my more than one hundred martial arts puppets, aren’t they close to five million spirit stones?”
"In addition, the martial arts puppet guards also have salaries! These salaries naturally go into my pocket..."
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
He seemed to see a broad road, a real plan to make money.
Is this a magic weapon that sells a hammer?
Just rent a hundred puppets to the Righteous Alliance!
You don’t have to do anything every year to get 10 million spiritual stones.
But Lin Chen also knew that he could just think about it.
Even if he wanted to rent puppets, he doesn't have more than a hundred cities for him to guard!
The main reason why Lin Chen sent this dragon to Xinliang City was to connect and expand trade routes.
And very importantly, bring back the battle situation information from the front line.
Lin Chen took the 30,000 spirit stones and did not count them, but said:
"Brother Shao, to be honest... I am a businessman, and I came to Xinliang City this time to do business."
