The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The Shadow Alliance was cunning and had a large number of members, so the Li family was quickly defeated.

The Li family's Xuanxian expert, who had been suppressed, finally lost control and flew out of the cave to withstand Tie Mingxiong's sword strike.

The magical artifact in Tie Mingxiong's hand is called the Eagle Beak.

It looks like a sword, and it is indeed a sword.

It can disrupt the balance of immortal energy of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and even shatter the sword techniques of a Mystic Immortal. It is equivalent to a Soul Master, imprisoning the immortal energy and Dao techniques of a Mystic Immortal.

Of course, there are time limits.

The Li family patriarch was unable to break through this time limit.

We have no choice but to fight to the death.

They wanted to drag Tie Mingxiong down with them.

"You crazy person."

Tie Mingxiong was terrified.

He was ultimately just a Great Immortal.

If it weren't for the eagle's beak suppressing the Li family patriarch, he would have been torn to shreds by the Li family patriarch's Daoist magic and immortal essence long ago.

He retreated rapidly.

They wanted to distance themselves from the Li family patriarch.

The other powerful members of the Shadow Alliance joined forces to pursue and intercept him, but faced with the fact that the Shadow Alliance members were determined to kill the Li family patriarch, they dared not get too close.

"Don't come here."

"Fine, I will stop attacking your Li family."

Let's call it a day!

"You forced me to do this."

"what!"

Tie Mingxiong screamed like a ghost.

I don't want to go head-to-head with the Li family patriarch.

Unfortunately, the Li family patriarch was filled with resentment at seeing his family destroyed. Unable to escape, he could only exert all his strength to break through the eagle beak defense and try to kill Tie Mingxiong.

Tie Mingxiong retreated all the way.

In order to survive, they could only leave a sliver of hope for the Li family patriarch.

"boom!"

Tie Mingxiong's body was pulverized.

His soul was enveloped by the light from the eagle's beak, and the Li family patriarch was unable to do anything to him. At this moment, he also saw the dawn of a breakthrough.

Knowing that if they don't leave now...

They won't be able to leave in a little while.

Therefore, instead of destroying Tie Mingxiong's soul, he quickly left Zixiao City.

"Li Tianshan has escaped."

"He is a Xuanxian (a type of immortal).

"The Shadow Alliance members are truly useless, leaving behind such a huge hidden danger. Even if our Wang family can swallow up the Li family's assets, we will live in constant fear in the future."

Once Li Tianshan returns, who among us can handle him?

"The Shadow Alliance did it on purpose."

"Why didn't Tie Mingxiong also perish along with him?"

Wang Yuanyang and other high-ranking members of the Wang family, as well as Wang Ningzhi, were all watching the great battle between the Shadow Alliance and the Li family. The Shadow Alliance was at the forefront, and their Eagle Beak Immortal Artifact was actually able to suppress the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

The fact that the immortal essence of a Xuanxian expert was frozen, and even the Dao techniques of a Xuanxian expert were disintegrated, forcing the Li family patriarch to exchange his life for another, was truly unexpected.

Seeing the formidable strength of Li Tianshan, the patriarch of the Li family, Wang Yuanyang was also terrified.

For a long time, there has been a legend in Zixiao City that the ancestor of the Li family is not dead, or that he has been reborn and returned as a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

But nothing has been decided yet.

I didn't expect the rumors to be true.

Even if the Li family lost a large number of elite experts and many Grand Luo Golden Immortals, their position in Zixiao City would still be difficult to shake if the Shadow Alliance had not intervened.

Now that Li Tianshan has escaped, he may return in the future, and Zixiao City will be plunged into bloodshed. Perhaps the Wang family will cease to exist.

This truly worried Wang Yuanyang, Wang Ningzhi, and others.

Zhang Lingfeng also witnessed the whole process.

He has been reviewing the situation.

If I were to face Li Tianshan...

Even if a level four soul essence power could break the balance between Li Tianshan's immortal essence and Daoist techniques, it would be highly unlikely that it could completely suppress Li Tianshan like Tie Mingxiong did.

Zhang Lingfeng felt that Xuanxian and Daluo Jinxian were beings from two different worlds.

It is highly unlikely that one can defeat a Xuanxian expert with only a level four soul essence power and the immortal essence of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

I can't do that yet, at least not right now.

However, compared to the immortal artifact in Tie Mingxiong's hand, his own soul power could suppress the immortal energy and Dao techniques of the Xuanxian expert.

This reduces the lethality of Xuanxian experts.

In short, he might be able to make a Xuanxian expert suffer a lot, but killing a Xuanxian expert was simply impossible, and he would hardly gain the upper hand in a fight.

Unless that eagle-beak immortal artifact falls into his hands.

"Hey."

Zhang Lingfeng watched helplessly as Li Tianshan escaped. He knew this would leave him with future troubles, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Tianshan was now fighting like a cornered beast.

Even if he charged forward, he might not be able to capture Li Tianshan, and might even force Li Tianshan to perish together with him.

Otherwise, Zhang Lingfeng would have made his move before Tie Mingxiong's physical body was shattered.

With Li Tianshan's escape, the Li family truly collapsed, and all the forces that had previously relied on the Li family turned against them at the crucial moment.

Upon learning that the Li family had fallen because of the Wang family and the Shadow Alliance, everyone turned to the Wang family in order to save their own lives, and helped the Wang family acquire most of the Li family's assets.

Of course, the city lord's mansion also gained huge benefits.

The city lord's mansion also has a Xuanxian expert in charge, and the city lord himself is a Nine Heavens Xuanxian. When Li Tianshan was fighting against the Shadow Alliance, he asked the city lord's mansion for help.

He promised that if he could help him defeat the Shadow Alliance and eliminate the Wang family, he would give half of the Li family's assets to the City Lord's Mansion and donate everything he had obtained from the Wang family to the City Lord's Mansion free of charge.

To be honest, the city lord's mansion hesitated for a moment.

But considering that the people who made the move today were from the Shadow Alliance, and that he had learned that a Level 4 Soul Master had appeared in the Wang family, it seemed that it was because of that Level 4 Soul Master that the Shadow Alliance was forced to take such a risk.

After weighing the pros and cons, the city lord's mansion held back.

As the lord of a city, he knew how terrifying the Shadow Alliance was.

In addition, the Soul Master from the Wang family came from a mysterious background, so the City Lord's Mansion did not choose to cooperate with Li Tianshan.

"Lord City Lord, we have just returned from the Soul Essence Master Guild and have not yet found the identity information of the fourth-level Soul Essence Master who appeared at the Wang family."

"Oh, so he didn't join the Soul Essence Master Guild?"

The city lord had not anticipated this.

"The Soul Masters of the Li family are all hiding inside the guild right now."

His subordinates reminded him.

"Keep staring."

"Yes!"

The city lord was filled with doubt.

He felt increasingly that Zhang Lingfeng was shrouded in mystery. He tried to deduce the cause and effect and find traces left by Zhang Lingfeng in the past, but unfortunately he found nothing.

They also tried to learn about Zhang Lingfeng's past through the Shadow Alliance, but were rejected by the Shadow Alliance.

The city lord was understandably displeased and worried when a Soul Master appeared in Zixiao City whom he knew nothing about.

This attack on the Li family by the Shadow Alliance appears to be a collaboration between the Shadow Alliance and the Wang family, but the city lord's intuition tells him that Zhang Lingfeng instigated the Shadow Alliance to do so.

He just didn't know.

How exactly did Zhang Lingfeng manage to do it?

Logically speaking, a mere fourth-level Soul Master wouldn't warrant such a grand display from the Shadow Alliance. After repeated calculations, he arrived at only two conclusions.

The first Wang family member, a level four Soul Master, has a powerful background. He may have a level five Soul Master behind him, or even be a disciple of a level six Soul Master.

In short, it has a very powerful background.

He made the Shadow Alliance willingly help him destroy the Li family.

In other words, he can bring huge benefits to the Shadow Alliance.

The Shadow Alliance never does business at a loss.

Secondly, this person possesses unlimited potential, or may bring something unexpected to the Shadow Alliance.

Neither the former nor the latter is a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion.

"Make arrangements, I need to visit that level four Soul Master at the Wang family."

The city lord gave the order.

After much deliberation, he decided to meet Zhang Lingfeng in person.

"Yes!"

His subordinates quickly made arrangements.

Zhang Lingfeng was living in Wang Ningzhi's territory, in the same courtyard as before. This time, he clearly felt that countless eyes in Zixiao City were looking in his direction.

Among them were the divine sense probes of powerful Great Luo Golden Immortals.

There were even a few forces that made him feel nervous, the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals.

Zhang Lingfeng never expected that there would be so many Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals in Zixiao City.

It's unclear whether they lived here from the beginning, or if they were just passing through Zixiao City and happened to stumble upon this incident, or if they were one of the trump cards of various families.

Li Tianshan's appearance was like a stone thrown into still water, causing a great stir.

This prevented the hidden Xuanxian experts in Zixiao City from surfacing.

Wang Yuanyang began to take over the Li family's businesses with his family members and to divide up the Li family's various assets with the Shadow Alliance.

The city lord's mansion and some powerful forces also participated in this operation.

The Li family was like a huge piece of fat meat, which was torn to shreds in just a few days.

Zhang Lingfeng was playing mahjong in the courtyard.

Several elders of the Wang family accompanied him.

With their help, Zhang Lingfeng can now earn 500 "lying down" points every day. Although it's not much, as long as he has enough time to accumulate them, these points can quickly improve Zhang Lingfeng's strength.

A month later.

The Wang family successfully took over the Li family's related businesses.

Purple Cloud City seemed to have returned to peace.

Because Tie Mingxiong lost his physical body and his soul was also affected, he was unable to contact Zhang Lingfeng for a short period of time.

He was unwilling to pass on the enormous opportunity that Little Golden Dragon had presented to anyone else.

We can only put this matter aside for now and send a message to Zhang Lingfeng, saying that we will come to find him after the physical body is reconstructed, which should be within the next few years.

"Master Jiang."

"The city lord wishes to see you, perhaps you would like to..."

Wang Yuanyang came to report.

The Wang family rose to become a top family in Zixiao City, receiving generous cultivation resources and gaining control of many of the Li family's original businesses.

Now that the Wang family members have all been allocated relevant cultivation resources, it is believed that in a few years, the overall strength of the Wang family disciples will rise to a new level.

All of this is inseparable from Zhang Lingfeng's help.

"See."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

The city lord is a Xuanxian expert and the top leader of Zixiao City, so we have to give him face. Besides, Zhang Lingfeng also wants to make contact with a Xuanxian expert.

After a period of recuperation, Li Tianshan may make a comeback.

Once they return to fight back, the Wang family and I will inevitably be the first to be affected.

Understanding the strength of a Xuanxian expert as early as possible would be entirely beneficial to oneself.

"it is good!"

Wang Yuanyang was overjoyed.

He really couldn't refuse the city lord.

"There's one more thing. All the Soul Masters in the Li family are hiding in the Soul Master Guild. The Li family also has a Level 4 Soul Master, but his strength is far inferior to yours."

Wang Yuanyang reminded him.

Soul Masters are extremely terrifying beings.

Even if the Li family's fourth-level Soul Yuan Master's Soul Yuan power is somewhat inflated, he is still a genuine fourth-level Soul Yuan Master and can bring a lot of trouble to the Wang family.

Unfortunately, with the protection of the Soul Master Guild, even the Shadow Alliance could do nothing to them.

"Soul Essence Master Guild".

This wasn't the first time Zhang Lingfeng had learned about this organization.

He suddenly realized something.

The Soul Masters of the Li family are protected by the guild, which makes the Shadow Alliance helpless. If I were to become a member of the Soul Master Guild, would Li Tianshan be unable to do anything to me if he came back in the future?
The reason I didn't join the Soul Master Guild before was that I felt I wasn't strong enough and was afraid that if my identity was exposed, I wouldn't be able to deal with the Shadow Alliance and would be targeted by all sorts of schemes.

It seems that the Soul Essence Master Guild is a more reliable organization than the Alliance.

Perhaps I could try becoming a member of the Soul Essence Master Guild.

With my level four Soul Master strength, I should be able to get a good position in the guild. The only thing that worries me is whether my speed of advancement will cause a lot of trouble.

As long as he has the corresponding cultivation method, he can become a level seven Soul Essence Master.

The so-called seventh-level Soul Master is a power that is not allowed to exist in the upper world, and all the Immortal Emperors will take action to stop it.

If they were to believe that he possessed the potential to become a Level 7 Soul Master, wouldn't he be utterly destroyed? This was the main reason why Zhang Lingfeng had never sought out the Soul Master Guild.

After much deliberation, Zhang Lingfeng decided to wait and see for a while.

"Master Jiang!"

"Xuan Xiaohong, the president of the Soul Master Guild of Zixiao City, requests an audience."

However, Wang Yuanyang had barely left when he ran back.

"Oh!"

Zhang Lingfeng was caught off guard, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

The bloodshed in Zixiao City was caused by himself. If the Soul Master Guild has a good record of his actions, they will definitely send someone to investigate and contact him.

This must be the reason why the other party came to see me.

Of course, it's possible that he wanted to seek justice for the Li family, but that's unlikely. According to his understanding, the rules and regulations of the Soul Essence Master Guild stipulate that they should not participate in the struggles between major forces and families.

All Soul Masters aim to expand their guilds.

Could it be that the other party is trying to recruit me?

Zhang Lingfeng was filled with doubt.

The city lord also wanted to see him, but the time was up to him to arrange.

Xuan Xiaohong came straight over and was already waiting at the Wang family's house.

"Arrange it."

Zhang Lingfeng decided to meet her; this Xuan Xiaohong shouldn't be an enemy.

"it is good."

Wang Yuanyang nodded.

When he saw that Zhang Lingfeng wanted to see Xuan Xiaohong, he was clearly not as happy as when Zhang Lingfeng wanted to see the city lord. It seemed that in his eyes, the Soul Origin Master Guild was not a reliable entity, or that it would affect the interests of the Wang family.

Under Wang Yuanyang's arrangement, Zhang Lingfeng met with members of the Soul Essence Master Guild in the royal garden of the Wang family mansion.

Xuan Xiaohong brought two Soul Masters with her.

Judging from the name, I thought it was a woman, and it turns out it really is.

The moment Zhang Lingfeng entered the Imperial Garden, Xuan Xiaohong and the two Soul Masters beside her released their Soul Power to envelop Zhang Lingfeng.
