The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

After some negotiation.

The Wang and Li families ultimately decided that each side would send two people to meet.

The Wang family consists of Wang Yuanyang and Zhang Lingfeng.

The Li family consists of the new head of the family, Li Yunyun, and Tie Mingxiong, a member of the Shadow Alliance.

The Li family's goal was simple: to get Zhang Lingfeng's master to defect, share Zhang Lingfeng with them, and gain the Dragon Clan's approval together.

I believe that with the approval of the dragon race...

What kind of discipleship is that? It doesn't matter at all.

three days later.

The two sides met near the black market.

"This master."

Zhang Lingfeng, using the identity of his imagined master from the Shadow Alliance, met Tie Mingxiong and Li Yunyun.

Tie Mingxiong was very excited after meeting Zhang Lingfeng's master.

"On behalf of the Shadow Alliance, I would like to share an opportunity with you, Master. Would you be so kind as to come closer?"

Tie Mingxiong laughed.

"it is good."

Zhang Lingfeng and Tie Mingxiong arrived at the side.

Tie Mingxiong used talismans to conceal his aura.

It was as if Li Yunyun and Wang Yuanyang had overheard their conversation.

"May I ask your name, Master?"

Tie Mingxiong racked his brains and searched through all sorts of information, but he still couldn't find out who Zhang Lingfeng's master was.

"Say something quickly."

Zhang Lingfeng knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes.

Tie Mingxiong smiled slightly, knowing that fourth-level Soul Masters all had a big temper, so he said, "I suppose you don't know what kind of opportunity Zhang Lingfeng is hiding."

"explain."

Zhang Lingfeng was getting impatient.

Tie Mingxiong stared at Zhang Lingfeng and said, "Dragon Clan!"

"Dragon clan?"

Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback and felt surprised.

Tie Mingxiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Zhang Lingfeng had told his master the secrets of the Dragon Clan, so that his master could gain the Dragon Clan's approval through Zhang Lingfeng without having to go through their Shadow Alliance.

Zhang Lingfeng's master is currently unaware of the Dragon Clan.

In short, Zhang Lingfeng did not tell his master about the little golden dragon.

“Zhang Lingfeng is incredibly audacious. He has secretly kept a little golden dragon. The Dragon Clan is hunting him down. My Shadow Alliance is a friend of the Dragon Clan and is responsible for helping them find the little golden dragon.”

I never imagined that you would be unaware that your disciple had caused such a huge disaster.

"If the Dragon Clan holds you accountable, even if you are a fourth-level Soul Master, it will be of no use."

Tie Mingxiong sneered.

"Nonsense. The Dragon Clan is supreme. My disciple is merely a cultivator from the lower realm. It is already a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for him to ascend. He might have a small golden dragon on him, but if he does, how could he hide it from my senses?"

Zhang Lingfeng said angrily.

"Master, please calm down. If you do not believe me, please hand Zhang Lingfeng over to our Shadow Alliance. Our Shadow Alliance will give you a satisfactory explanation and ensure that you will not be blamed by the Dragon Clan."

Tie Mingxiong said.

"Hmph, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. In short, I will not easily believe your one-sided story."

Zhang Lingfeng said angrily.

"What kind of master would believe it?"

Tie Mingxiong Road.

“If my disciple had a small golden dragon on him, the dragon clan would have come knocking on our door long ago. How could we have lived in peace forever? I think you have other plans.”

Zhang Lingfeng snorted coldly.

"If you don't believe me, Master, bring Zhang Lingfeng here so we can confront him together."

Tie Mingxiong Road.

“Your Shadow Alliance is powerful. How could I, a mere fourth-level Soul Master, possibly gain any advantage over you?”

"But this is Zixiao City, and Zhang Lingfeng is my disciple. You won't succeed so easily."

Zhang Lingfeng sneered.

"Master, just say what you want!"

Tie Mingxiong said.

"If what you say is true, my disciple is still safe and sound, which means he has gained the little golden dragon's approval. Otherwise, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to go against the dragon clan."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"This……"

Tie Mingxiong was speechless.

"So, if it was a matter of chance, I wouldn't need to go through your Shadow Alliance at all. I could have gone directly to my disciple, or even taken him to the Dragon Clan."

Zhang Lingfeng continued.

"Things aren't that simple. Just tell me what you want, sir. Let's not beat around the bush."

Tie Mingxiong knew perfectly well what was going on.

"I need a level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method. In addition, I need your Shadow Alliance to help me eliminate the Li family. I have already taken control of the Wang family, and I want the Wang family to become the largest family in Zixiao City."

"After it's done, you can take the little golden dragon away, just make sure my apprentice is safe."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"This is impossible."

Tie Mingxiong waved his hand and said.

"Then let's part ways."

Zhang Lingfeng turned and left.

“The Li family is deeply rooted in Zixiao City; they cannot be destroyed so easily.”

Tie Mingxiong reminded him.

"You'll have to figure it out yourselves. In short, if you want to get the little golden dragon and gain the dragon race's approval, this is the only way."

Alternatively, I can take my apprentice and go find the Dragon Clan myself.

"If your Shadow Alliance can't kill me, just wait for my disciple and the Dragon Clan to return and deal with you."

Zhang Lingfeng threatened.

"Don't forget, you're just a level four Soul Master. My Shadow Alliance..."

Tie Mingxiong was furious.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Lingfeng released a surge of immortal energy.

"Great Golden Immortal, you..."

Tie Mingxiong was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng's master was not only a fourth-level Soul Yuan Master, but also a Great Luo Golden Immortal. With such strength, how could the Li family possibly be a match for him given their current power?

"I won't force you Shadow Alliance. In short, if what you say is true, I will have a way to gain the Dragon Clan's approval without going through your Shadow Alliance."

Zhang Lingfeng reminded him.

"Okay, I promise you."

Tie Mingxiong looked helpless.

The person before him was both a fourth-level Soul Master and a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He could never have imagined that this person was Zhang Lingfeng, whom they were looking for.

"Alright, I'll give you a month. After a month, I will hand over my apprentice to you."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"it is good."

Tie Mingxiong was covered in dust and dirt.

A while later, Zhang Lingfeng and Tie Mingxiong returned to Wang Yuanyang and Li Yunyun's side.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Lingfeng released his soul energy to imprison Li Yunyun. His Great Luo Golden Immortal energy erupted and bombarded Li Yunyun. Li Yunyun did not expect Zhang Lingfeng to make a sudden move and was caught off guard, suffering severe injuries on the spot.

He was about to ask Tie Mingxiong for help.

Suddenly, he saw Tie Mingxiong use a celestial artifact to devour his physical body and soul, crushing them into powder and causing him to perish on the spot.

And so, the new head of the Li family perished.

The speed was so fast that it startled Wang Yuanyang into breaking out in a cold sweat.

It's unclear why Tie Mingxiong did this. "From now on, the Wang family will be friends of the Shadows, and the Shadow Alliance will assist the Wang family in ruling the entire Zixiao City."

Tie Mingxiong laughed.

Wang Yuanyang felt like he was in a dream, staring at Zhang Lingfeng in disbelief until Zhang Lingfeng nodded slightly to him, at which point he realized that the Shadow Alliance had suddenly turned against him.

He didn't know what Zhang Lingfeng and Tie Mingxiong had said, but he had witnessed Li Yunyun die at Tie Mingxiong's hands, a fact that the Shadow Alliance could not deny.

Because Zhang Lingfeng recorded it with the Yuan Stone Recorder.

He then proactively handed the recorder over to Tie Mingxiong for inspection.

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Lingfeng took the initiative to shake hands with Tie Mingxiong.

"I hope you won't forget our agreement."

Tie Mingxiong looked bitter and helpless.

The opportunity presented by the Dragon Clan was not something the Shadow Alliance desperately wanted, but rather something he desperately desired. If he possessed this opportunity, perhaps he could become a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

"must!"

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

He then took Wang Yuanyang back to the Wang family home.

"Now is the best time to eliminate the Li family and obtain the Yuan Stone mine. You all need to prepare quickly!"

Zhang Lingfeng said to Wang Yuanyang.

Tell Wang Yuanyang to prepare as soon as possible.

"it is good!"

Wang Yuanyang's head was buzzing. He still didn't know how Zhang Lingfeng had reached an agreement with the Shadow Alliance or whether the Wang family had been sold off. He quickly told Wang Ningzhi what he had seen.

Wang Ningzhi was also caught off guard.

Although there had been no major conflicts between the Wang family and the Shadow Alliance, the Shadow Alliance members had always been very close to the Li family. It was absolutely inconceivable that they would suddenly help the Wang family eliminate the Li family.

But it happened right before our eyes.

It's unclear how Zhang Lingfeng managed to persuade the Shadow Alliance.

Wang Ningzhi was also full of doubts.

But given the rare opportunity, Wang Ningzhi did not dwell on the matter.

They quickly deployed their forces to work with the Shadow Alliance to eliminate the Wang family. In an instant, bloodshed erupted in Zixiao City, and large numbers of members of the Wang and Li families began to fall.

No one expected this.

The Wang family, which was weak, dared to attack the Li family in return, and even received support from the Shadow Alliance.

Even the city lord was caught off guard.

However, faced with the interests of distance, they not only did not stop it, but also participated in the movement to annex the Li family, from which they gained a great deal of benefits.

……

During the period when the Wang family and the Shadow Alliance annexed the Li family.

Zhang Lingfeng was deep in thought.

"I need a lot of 'lying down' points. I need to become a Level 5 Soul Master as soon as possible, otherwise, once Tie Mingxiong comes to his senses, trouble will only befall me."

"Should we go to the alliance?"

"Dao Dabing has also ascended to immortality. The Alliance must know about the Little Golden Dragon, and they will definitely not let the Little Golden Dragon fall into the hands of the Shadow Alliance."

Regardless, the Alliance is a powerful ally in the fight against the Shadow Alliance.

Zhang Lingfeng was preparing to go to the Alliance.

Although I don't trust the league.

But faced with enormous profits, the Alliance will definitely fight the Shadow Alliance to the bitter end.

Of course, to ensure everything goes smoothly, I must improve my strength as soon as possible, and ideally, increase my Soul Essence to over 1200.0 to become a Level 5 Soul Essence Master.

Only by becoming a Level 5 Soul Master can I fight against the Shadow Alliance.

However, considering the restrictions imposed on Soul Masters by various forces, especially the scrutiny of Immortal Emperors after becoming a Level 6 Soul Master, Zhang Lingfeng felt that if he were to become a Level 5 Soul Master in such a short time, it would definitely alarm the Immortal Emperors.

Now all life in the Upper World knows that no Immortal Emperor will allow a Level 7 Soul Master to appear in the Upper World.

Once one becomes a Level 5 Soul Master, even though there is still a very long way to go before becoming a Level 7 Soul Master, one will still pose a potential threat to many people.

Perhaps they will no longer be able to maintain their foothold in the world above.

"It would be best to become a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal."

Zhang Lingfeng frowned.

Of course, things have come to this point, and Zhang Lingfeng has no other choice but to take it one step at a time.

Now it has become the Wang family's reliance.

Zhang Lingfeng obtained many cultivation resources from the Wang family.

Aside from not being able to obtain the Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method, I can basically obtain all the other cultivation methods I need, such as the Great Luo Immortal Essence Cultivation Method.

At the height of the Wang family's history, there were also Xuanxian (mysterious immortal) experts.

Unfortunately, that was a very long time ago.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of power emanated from the Li family's territory.

"The Li family patriarch!"

"He's still alive."

The city lord of Zixiao City is watching the Li family's territory.

When the Wang family and the Shadow Alliance began to annex the Li family's businesses and eliminate the Li family's powerful members, he realized that this day would come, but as the ruler of Zixiao City...

He is confident.

They wanted to see the Wang family, the Li family, and even the Shadow Alliance all suffer heavy losses.

Wang Yuanyang escaped with serious injuries.

He and Wang Ningzhi quickly returned to the Wang family's territory.

Suddenly, a black sword light appeared from within the Shadow Alliance's forces, slashing towards the Li family patriarch.

A scream came.

Zhang Lingfeng saw that Tie Mingxiong was able to shake a Xuanxian expert by activating an unknown immortal artifact, causing the Li family patriarch to retreat back to his cave.

"My Li family has never provoked your Shadow Alliance, so why are you doing this?"

The patriarch of the Li family questioned him.

Tie Mingxiong was covered in sweat. While sending messages to the powerful members of the Shadow Alliance, he used his immortal artifact to suppress the Li family patriarch, trapping him in the cave and preventing him from coming out.

The Shadow Alliance has a very advanced intelligence network.

Aside from the fact that it is currently impossible to identify Zhang Lingfeng as his master, the Shadow Alliance also knows about the fact that a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal is hidden within the Li family.

The immortal artifact in Tie Mingxiong's hand was obtained from the Shadow Alliance and was used to suppress the Li family patriarch.

"If Senior Li is willing to leave now, abandon the Li family's assets, and swear not to be an enemy of the Shadow Alliance, the Shadow Alliance is willing to stop and let Senior Li go."

Tie Mingxiong transmitted his voice.

"Humph!"

The Li family patriarch snorted coldly.

He is gathering strength.

Zhang Lingfeng was terrified.

The Li family patriarch is a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal. His strength seems to have not been fully revealed. Once it is fully unleashed, the immortal artifact in Tie Mingxiong's hand may not be able to withstand it.

He himself will also be in grave danger.

"In that case, I apologize for offending you."

Tie Mingxiong went all the way down the dark path.

The dragon clan opportunity is of great importance to him and the entire Shadow Alliance, which originally did not openly participate in the conflicts between the major forces.

Even if it means violating the rules set by the Shadow Alliance, Tie Mingxiong is determined to eliminate the Li family patriarch.

Zhang Lingfeng saw a large number of Shadow Alliance experts arrive at Zixiao City together, where they joined Tie Mingxiong to control the immortal artifact and deal with the Li family patriarch.

They wanted to stab the Li family patriarch to death in the cave.

Ma Longwang, the city lord of Zixiao City, was shocked. As fellow Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals, he discovered that the immortal artifact in Tie Mingxiong's hand could suppress the immortal essence of a Mystic Immortal and even break the Taoist magic of a Mystic Immortal.

In a place like Zixiao City, this was a unique treasure, and he was extremely envious of it.

I just don't understand it yet.

Is the remaining assets of the Li family enough to drive the Shadow Alliance to such madness that they would join forces to kill a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal?

“If I hadn’t revealed the immortal power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Shadow Alliance might have killed me directly.”

Zhang Lingfeng realized this too late.

With the strength of a fourth-level Soul Master and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Shadow Alliance considered him a far greater threat than the Li family patriarch. (End of Chapter)
