This place is fun
Chapter 138 The storm is rising
Chapter 138 The storm is rising
Tiandao Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist.
Above the top of the mountain, which was beyond people's sight, the sky seemed to be leaking, presenting a huge circular funnel. However, this funnel was facing upward. Wisps of clouds and mist, along with the blue background of the sky, continued to leak upward from this circle. Then, as if touching some kind of restriction, it dispersed in the opposite direction and spread out into the distance.
The entire mountain top was surrounded by a circle of golden light, as if a golden wall had been built. This wall was so high and unreachable that when people looked at it, they would naturally feel a sense of power, coldness and despair.
On a platform below the top of the mountain, an old man in a green robe was looking up at the funnel in the sky, motionless, like a sculpture.
Unlike ordinary old men, this old man in green shirt had an illusory figure, like an afterimage that was difficult to solidify. His green shirt was torn from time to time, and even had bloodstains and marks of being tied up, making it look miserable and dirty. But every time it did so, it would automatically restore itself to being neat and clean, over and over again.
If anyone has seen the old man, they would perhaps know that day after day, year after year, the old man has been watching here for who knows how many years.
But today, suddenly, the old man's eyes, which were like the purest darkness, suddenly changed. His pupils slightly dilated. It was as if a star rose in his eyes.
The light of this star is so faint that it is almost difficult to detect. But when it appears in the old man's eyes, it seems as if the entire universe is lit up.
"It's a mess?"
The old man muttered, and suddenly lowered his head, looking down at the vast and boundless spiritual land. His eyes were cast far away to an inconspicuous corner outside the domain.
At the same time, two old men appeared beside the old man in green.
One was in a white robe, the other in a brocade robe. Scars appeared on their bodies from time to time. None of the three spoke, just staring at that direction quietly. Then, they all laughed. Just like three naughty children squatting in the mud and watching ants.
"That boy is a demon star!"
"Ah."

Teahouse in Xianlai Town.
The teahouse was originally deserted, but at some point, a group of people came running in. A young waiter, holding a copper kettle in one hand and a towel in the other, looked at the group of people with astonishment as they took out paper and pens and wrote something very quickly.
Even the lady boss who had gone to Huangzhushan to watch the fun was among them. And she seemed more anxious than anyone else.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, with a strand of hair sticking to it. Her fair skin was slightly flushed, her eyes were bright as if glowing, and there were beads of sweat on her small nose. As she wrote, she was mumbling something, looking so excited that she could hardly control herself.
A moment later, someone had finished writing and ran quickly towards the message tree.
"Stop!" The lady boss yelled, and her petite, slender, mature and plump figure flew out from the counter. The young waiter looked up with a dull look and saw a fox tail passing by under the skirt.
Bang! The teahouse proprietress fell to the ground. She stood in front of the casual practitioners. Her almond eyes widened and she said angrily: "Whoever dares to argue with me, next time you drink tea, be careful not to drink my foot washing water!"
"Really?" A casual cultivator's eyes lit up.
"Get lost." The lady boss snorted, glared at him unhappily, turned around, pulled down a blank sign from the message tree, and slapped the message she had just written on it. She pointed with her slender fingers and put a penny of spiritual essence into the tree hole of the message tree.
It was not until the face on the crown of the message tree suddenly opened its eyes and the sign emitted a white light that the proprietress clapped her hands contentedly, turned around and walked out from among the casual cultivators and said, "Okay, you guys go ahead and post it."
The independent cultivators rushed forward.
Almost at the same time, the message trees in various parts of the Spirit Realm began to flash, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, attracting many nearby spirit monsters and warriors.
After that, the entire spiritual world was like countless small earthquakes, erupting suddenly with the message trees in various places as the center. The shock wave swept across at a speed visible to the naked eye, sweeping everything in an instant.
"More than fifty people were wiped out by a newcomer in less than a minute?"
"Twelve of them are people who returned from the Fifth Spirit Realm. And the leader is Buchi from the Burning Heaven Society? What a joke!"
Towns, tribes, wilderness... the news spread like crazy, and people were talking about it almost everywhere.
At first, many people thought it was just a silly joke. But when everyone found out that even the spirit world was spreading the same news, everyone realized that it was not a prank.
When people realized this, most casual cultivators just discussed it as an unbelievable gossip, but in some cities and houses in the Spirit Realm, some people had already taken action at the fastest speed.
Especially the fifth spiritual realm.
One message after another came from the fourth and third spiritual realms. One by one, the second-level warriors without spiritual seals on their bodies were ordered to set off and rush to the land outside the realm.
These warriors all knew that this newcomer who suddenly appeared had attracted the attention of the upper echelons. Not only the upper echelons, but also the upper echelons of the upper echelons, and even to the core area at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, an existence that they could not even see.
Their mission is to go to the extraterritorial area called Xianlai Town as soon as possible to confirm this matter.
Think of the gazes from those high and mighty beings.
Everyone shuddered.
They didn't know whether the news was true or not. If it wasn't, they would know without even looking that the guy who said he would kill me if we couldn't reach an agreement must be a newcomer.
Otherwise, he would not know what it really means to be in the spotlight in the spiritual world and be stared at by a pair of eyes from above!
In particular, a voice has been heard in the rumors on the streets.
"Heart Furnace Refining Weapon, there is only one weapon I can think of that can kill so many people in such a short time... that is the legendary Torrential Pear Blossom Nail!"
"The rain of pear blossom nails, that's not the Xiao family..."
"But I heard that the Xiao family was wiped out fifteen years ago. They were convicted of colluding with the Demon Sect, an unforgivable crime. It was the Xi Kingdom's royal family and Fengyuan Palace who took action together. The great demon king Xiao Yuting died in the battle. Before he died, he destroyed the Xiao family's Torrential Pear Blossom Nail with his own hands."
"Who knows if there are any fish that slipped through the net... I heard that a descendant of the Xiao family escaped."

The ancient city of Wanchang is submerged in weeds and trees.
In this abandoned ancient city in the valley, there is a refugee settlement with 3,000 people. The outer part of the ancient city is still in tatters. The houses inside have long been destroyed by war and the erosion of time. Now it is a rebuilt mountain stronghold.
The mountain stronghold is still built on the mountain in the same pattern as the ancient Wanchang City. At the bottom is where the lower class refugees live. Ragged tents, low shacks, and leaky earthen houses are crowded together in a mess. The aisle in the middle is narrow and dirty, full of sewage and mud. On the mountainside, there are rows of stilt houses. These wooden houses are supported by thick logs and connected by plank roads and suspension bridges facing the cliff. In the center of the mountainside is a spacious flat land. There are training grounds, horse farms, and barracks.
This is where the soldiers of the Wanchang refugee camp are stationed. Although it is late at night, there are still refugee soldiers patrolling here.
And in a house further up the mountain path, Gao Xingxiang suddenly sat up from the bed in a cold sweat.
In the silent and dark room, the only sound was his heavy breathing.
Until more than ten minutes later, whenever Gao Xingxiang closed his eyes, he was still in the spiritual realm in his mind, and he saw the big black tree he faced when he transformed into Buchi, and the two terrifying weapons in its hands.
The dark hole in the pipe looked like the gaze of the god of death.
Gao Xingxiang got out of bed, walked naked to the window with his two-meter-tall body, and suddenly opened the window, letting the winter wind from the mountains rush in.
"Young Master!" A trusted subordinate appeared in front of him silently.
"Go to my female slave room and bring a few to me," Gao Xingxiang said with a ferocious look, "wash them clean."
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left.
"If we can't come to an agreement, I'll chop you off..." Gao Xingxiang looked at the empty valley, his naked body turning red in the cold wind as if it were on fire, "You must be very proud now. But, will Fentian let you go? And you don't know yet, you are too talented and too popular, once you are targeted..."
Gao Xingxiang's malicious whispers were heard in the night wind.
"You're going to die a horrible death!"

Huangzhulin Tribe.
Su Daoshan watched Ao Jiu leave with Mr. Qi and Fu Sheng, then turned his gaze to Zi Yu and Lang Yan and asked, "How much did you get from the big monster in the tribe?"
"We are all 40%." Zi Yu said.
"I will ask Mr. Qi and Fu Sheng to go to your tribe and discuss the increase to 70%. But I want to take 10%." Su Daoshan said as a matter of course, "In addition, the two of you will stay in Huangzhulin alone and get another salary."
Ziyu and Langyan were both surprised and delighted when they heard this. They immediately clasped their fists and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Kan."
As soon as the words came out, both of them couldn't help but look at each other.
"Haha, don't worry, follow me, I will make sure you don't suffer any loss. I am a straightforward person. No matter what the matter is, I am easy to talk to as long as we can talk it out. If we can't come to an agreement, we can chop it off. No one would use a knife the first time they meet..." Su Daoshan said with a smile, "I'm not crazy."
As he spoke, he walked up to Gao Jiao and said with a smile, "Right, Mr. Gao... let's talk?"
Gao Jiao was already sweating profusely, and his whole body felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his bones. He immediately bowed and said, "I was blind and I really regret it... I am willing to let Mr. Tan deal with me!"
At this time, Gao Jiao was really regretting his decision.
Back in the Gurong tribe, I had seen the strange vision above the school with Langyan and Ziyu. I came here with them and was determined to fight with him. But I didn't expect that when I saw Buchi and the many people behind him, and thought about how powerful Buchi was, I was so scared that my calves cramped. At the last moment, I actually backed out.
Gao Jiao now wished that his legs had cramped and he couldn't walk. If that were the case, he would have stood here for just a few minutes and the outcome would have been completely different.
Look at the purple jade and wolf smoke.
If they couldn't reach an agreement, they could just chop it off with one word, and Ziyu and Langyan's share of their respective tribes would increase by 20%. Two months' income was enough to equal the income of three months before. Not only did their subordinates benefit from it, but they could also get a salary in the richest Huangzhulin.
Although the land outside the domain is barren, every spiritual land that can become an orchard can produce at least one thousand spiritual essences per month. A large orchard like Huangzhulin can produce more than four thousand spiritual essences per month.
In the past, Ziyu and Langyan, although they were leaders and could get double the share, only had about 100 spiritual essences per month. Now, the share has increased to 60%, plus Huang Zhulin's share, the spiritual essence has directly reached 300.
And you have to know that for warriors, the orchard salary is just a basic income. On weekdays, this does not prevent everyone from searching for Lingyun Fruit.
The more basic spiritual energy you have, the more stable your entry into the spiritual world will be.
The number of times he entered the spirit realm every month was far beyond the reach of ordinary casual cultivators. In addition, seeing Fu Sheng's attitude just now, Gao Jiao knew that in the future, if there was no agreement in the Xianlai Town, he would just kill him. Zi Yu, Lang Yan and others followed him, so were they afraid that there would be no benefits?
Whenever Gao Jiao thought of this, he felt heartbroken.
"Luershan is the same as the other tribes, but I'm afraid Mr. Gao can no longer be the chief of the tribe." Su Daoshan said, "Look, let's discuss it. You still stay in the tribe, how about changing the chief?"
"Okay, okay!" Gao Jiao said immediately, even feeling a little surprised.
He originally thought that he would have no place to stand in Xianlai Town in the future, but he did not expect that Su Daoshan would leave him a way out.
"Then the leader's seat..." Su Daoshan turned his head and pointed at Jian Bai, "You come and sit down."
"Me?" Jian Bai was watching the fun from the side, but he didn't expect that after saying this, it would actually fall on his head. For a moment, he pointed at his nose with his little finger, opened his eyes wide, and was even more confused than Ao Jiu just now.
You know, she is just a newcomer who has been in the spiritual realm for less than a year. Her biggest wish before was to get to know the people in the tribe and have the opportunity to become a caretaker in the future.
Before this, let alone the tribal guardians, even the stronger independent cultivators were out of her reach!
But she never dreamed that today, by some strange coincidence, just by following Mr. Tan, she would become the leader of a tribe.
"Well, what? You don't want to be it?" Su Daoshan said with a smile.
"Think about it!" If Jian Bai hadn't tried her best to control herself, she would have almost jumped up, and immediately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.
"Now, let's see who dares to call me a bullied princess again!"
