Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 39: Muddy Waters
"Mr. County Chief, Jiutian Group will give you an explanation, but I still have to trouble you with the safety of the auction!" Xu Yi bowed deeply to the County Chief and said.

After discovering that there were actually people in the late Qi training stage who came from the Jiutian Group to protect the auction who were colluding with the Demon Worshiping Cult, it was impossible for Xu Yi to let the county chief leave just like that.

Although Lu Tianyu was captured, he could not guarantee that the other three Jiutian Group's late-stage Qi training cultivators were 100% safe.

The annual auction represents the reputation of the Jiutian Group and Xu Yi's own safety. Only if the county chief, a true cultivator who has established his foundation, stays here can the auction and his own safety be guaranteed.

As for offending the county chief, the Jiutian Group will compensate him later.

The county chief glanced at Xu Yi hatefully. If Xu Yi did not take the initiative to terminate the contract, he would still have to stay.

"Think it over carefully. You will be responsible for all the consequences!" he reminded in a deep voice.

Xu Yi didn't say anything this time, but just kept bowing.

At No. 2 Middle School, Principal Wang looked exhausted. Many of the teachers beside him had fallen to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown, and the teachers who were standing were all injured.

"Here are some rejuvenation pills, distribute them quickly!" Principal Wang took out a pill bottle and threw it to a teacher who was less seriously injured and instructed.

The teacher took the bottle of medicine, but he did not take it himself. Instead, he carefully checked the condition of the injured teachers.

The quantity of this bottle of rejuvenation pill is limited, and it can only be given to the teachers who are most seriously injured and in need, so that the effectiveness of the rejuvenation pill can be maximized.

Principal Wang looked at the direction the four monsters left. If these monsters in the late stage of Qi training attacked with all their strength, the teachers of No. 2 Middle School, including himself, would have no chance of survival.

But the four demons in the late stage of Qi training obviously had more important things to do, so they left in a hurry halfway through the battle.

If someone looked down from the sky, they could see that from all over the city, there were demons holding monks' weapons and gathering towards one goal.

And that target was exactly the county capital. The county chief was not in the capital, and the strength of the cultivators who remained in the capital was not strong.

In fact, the county capital does not need any guarding force. No matter how powerful the guarding force is, it cannot be stronger than the county head who is a true cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The county head's office is mostly populated by servants and civil servants, whose duties include taking care of the county head's daily life and cooperating with him in his work.

The monsters didn't even need to transform into monsters and easily took care of the people in the county capital.

A demon took out pieces of spiritual beast skins, on which were drawn complicated lines.

He spread the spirit beast skins on the ground, pieced them together, and connected their lines.

"Lead the spirit into the formation!" He said loudly after piecing together the spirit beast skins.

The county capital is the most important place in Yunxi County. Its importance does not mean that the county capital is the political center, but that it is the core of the main spiritual vein of Yunxi County.

Yunxi County, as well as any other county, has at least one second-level spiritual vein.

The second-level spiritual vein in Yunxi County is a low-grade spiritual vein. This second-level low-grade spiritual vein has many branches, supplying every place in Yunxi County that needs spiritual energy.

For example, in No. 2 Middle School, there is a first-grade superior spiritual vein that branches off from a second-grade inferior spiritual vein. The spiritual planting area in Li Zhen's home directly draws spiritual energy.

The entire county obtains spiritual energy from the second-level inferior spiritual veins, which is also the basis for the existence of Yunxi County.

The county chief of every county is a foundation-building cultivator, and has the task of protecting the second-level spiritual veins. At the same time, the foundation-building cultivator himself can only practice and improve his cultivation in the second-level spiritual veins.

The skins of spiritual beasts are spliced ​​together, which is a special way to quickly set up an array.

Draw part of the formation on the skin of the spirit beast, and then combine them to form a complete formation.

The energy required for the formation is directly drawn from the spiritual energy of the second-grade inferior spirit vein, which ensures that the formation has sufficient energy.

Several demons drew the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins and guided it into the skins of spiritual beasts. The skins of spiritual beasts flashed with spiritual light, and wherever the spiritual energy passed, the lines seemed to be lit up.

The monsters looked at the formation on the ground nervously. They needed to activate the formation before the county chief returned, otherwise all the arrangements would be in vain.

Intense spiritual energy rose from the skin of the spirit beast, and an ochre-colored light spread outward from the formation.

"The Hou Tu Dust Array has been activated successfully. Start setting up the altar immediately!" the leading demon ordered excitedly.

A lot of security guards were captured alive this time. These were the Demon God’s favorite sacrifices, and they would have to rely on the Demon God to expand the results of the battle later.

At the auction venue, when the county capital was invaded, the county chief hurriedly contacted his deputy in the government office. After waiting for a while and receiving no response, he knew that something had happened in the county capital.

"Xu Yi, I can't stay here any longer!" He no longer cared about the contract with the Jiutian Group. If something happened to the second-level spiritual vein in the county capital, the consequences would be more serious than violating the contract with the Jiutian Group.

Without waiting for Xu Yi to respond, he suddenly flew up, broke through the roof and flew away.

"Quickly check what happened?" Xu Yike had no ability to stop the county chief. He knew very well that since the county chief did not care about the contract, something big must have happened.

Someone had already gone to investigate, and the scene of the county chief flying into the air just now made quite a noise, which was clearly seen by the monks in the auction venue.

"The demons have invaded the county and are heading this way!" a cultivator shouted.

When Xu Yi heard the voices, he immediately checked to see who was causing the trouble.

The monk who was speaking intentionally concealed himself and was not discovered by Xu Yi.

With this monk's words, the order of the auction venue was temporarily disrupted.

"The Foundation Building Pill and a bunch of treasures are right behind, rob him!" another voice shouted.

This voice was full of temptation. Even if there were monks present who were not affected, as long as they thought that the treasures on the auction list were right in front of them, they would never let go of this opportunity.

Especially the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training who were present and participating in the auction, they had no resistance to the Foundation Establishment Pill at all.

It was under such circumstances that Li Zhen approached the auction venue. Before he entered the venue, he saw the figure of the county chief flying away.

He was stunned. Although he came to the auction venue with greedy ideas, it was more because it was safest here with the county chief.

Now that the county chief had left, he heard the voice coming from the meeting hall again.

He hesitated for a moment, perhaps he could take advantage of this chaotic situation.

At this moment, due to the chaos in the venue, two monks from the Jiu Tian Group at the door have rushed into the venue, wanting to work with the monks from the Jiu Tian Group inside to stabilize order.

Li Zhen walked into the venue without any obstruction, where a melee was taking place.

Many of the monks present were experienced. They covered their heads and faces with cloth and rushed to the side hall of the auction.

Everyone knows that the items that the Jiutian Group is preparing to auction must be protected by the most powerful monks in the Jiutian Group.

The strongest cultivator of the Jiutian Group is Xu Yi, who is also the most powerful cultivator present, with the strength of the peak of Qi training.

But even with the strength at the peak of Qi training, he was still frightened when facing the huge number of cultivators.

He was extremely decisive, knowing that once he was entangled by these greedy monks, Lu Tianyu might escape.

So before preparing for the fight, he kicked Lu Tianyu to death.

"Let's fight our way out. We can't be trapped indoors!" After killing Lu Tianyu, he said solemnly to the other three companions who were in the late stage of Qi training.

The three companions in the late stage of Qi training have taken out their magic weapons, as well as many talismans. They cannot be stingy at this time.

The greedy monks, some used magical instruments, and some threw out talismans.

Although there were few cultivators whose magical instruments and talismans exceeded the quality of Xu Yi and his companions, their numbers were too large and their attack was extremely powerful.

Li Zhen shrank his body into a corner where there was a corpse. He placed the corpse across his body and lay underneath it.

He was of relatively small build, and the corpse was over 1.9 meters tall, completely covering him.

The Qi Concealing Technique allowed him to reduce the spiritual energy in his body to the extreme. He slowed down his breathing. Even if he did not hide his own realm, it was only the second level of Qi training. Who present would care about a cultivator at the second level of Qi training?

Li Zhen now released his sense of spiritual objects. Any spiritual object without an owner within a range of ten meters would be sensed by him.

Unfortunately, even though there were many corpses on the ground, he was unable to sense any spiritual creatures.

Looting corpses is a practical skill for a monk. The spiritual objects on the bodies of these killed monks had long been swept away, so it was not his turn.
