Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 248 Chaos Arises (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Thick beams of spiritual light descended from the sky, ignoring the protective array of Emerald Lake Island, and landed on the buildings.

"boom!"

The deafening roar echoed in all directions.

Houses collapsed one after another.

The hard street surface was torn open with cracks, and countless people panicked and fled in all directions.

No one expected that the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce would suddenly launch an attack on the Xiang family of Cuihu Island.

All of a sudden.

The entire Green Lake Island was in complete chaos.

This situation has always attracted opportunists who take advantage of the chaos, making the entire market increasingly chaotic.

The Xiang family had done everything they could to activate their protective formation, but unfortunately, their formation was originally set up by the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild, and it collapsed after only a short while. Dozens of Dao Foundation cultivators descended from the sky and stormed into Emerald Lake Island.

"Hand over Tang Yuanshan!"

"Or I'll exterminate your entire clan!"

The roar was like thunder.

"He's not here!" Jiang shouted.
"Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce, don't push your luck. Do you really want to fight to the death with the Xiang family?"

"A fight to the death?" A Dao Foundation cultivator from the Yan family scoffed disdainfully.
"Are you worthy?"

"kill!"

With a wave of his hand, he shouted:

"Leave no one behind!"

Although the Xiang family is a local tyrant, the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce is renowned throughout the East China Sea. The Yan family alone, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, can overwhelm them. The two sides are indeed not on the same level.

Just a few moments.

As the sword flashed and spiritual light surged, the Xiang family members who had no time to escape fell to the ground and died.

"what!"

Roaring towards the river:

"I'll fight you."

"Shh!"

A streak of light emerged from the back of his head, transforming into a gigantic, monstrous claw that reached forward.

The monstrous claw soared into the air, causing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to surge. The surrounding radiance, covering an area of ​​about an acre, instantly enveloped a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Pfft!"

It was just a pounce and a tug.

That Dao Foundation cultivator was torn to pieces; his protective aura and magical artifacts shattered, leaving him utterly dead.

magic weapon!

Azure Dragon Claw!
This claw was forged from the forepaw of a second-stage perfected dragon, and was nurtured by generations of Dao Foundation cultivators of the Xiang family for hundreds of years.

Claws out.

The misty vapor that permeated Cuihu Island quickly adhered to it, transforming into lifelike dragons.

Several dragons pounced on the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but none of them could stop them.

"magic weapon?"

Yan Weiran hummed softly:

"How could my Yan family not have one?"

Before the words had even faded, a long halberd appeared in mid-air, its swirling rays of light rushing towards the Azure Dragon's Claw.

Water God's Halberd!
"boom!"

The clash of the two magical weapons immediately unleashed a torrent of energy, causing the lake water to surge and creating a colossal wave.

The power is terrifying!

Zhu Ju, observing this scene from afar, had a solemn expression and quickly retreated to the outer perimeter.

The quality of the magic weapons from the Yan and Xiang families can only be described as average, but their power in the hands of those in the late stages of the Dao Foundation stage is extremely terrifying.

At least……

I'm afraid my own five-colored divine light won't be able to suppress it.

It seems that the power of a magical artifact is closely related to the strength of the person wielding it; those in the late Dao Foundation stage can better unleash the power of a magical artifact.

Judging from the situation after the collision, the Yan family head's strength and cultivation were clearly superior to the Xiang family head's.

"Brother Zhu!"

At this time.

A familiar voice came from not far away. Dong Pin flashed forward and landed next to him, a smile on his face.

"What a coincidence, to run into Brother Zhu here."

"It's quite a coincidence," Zhu Ju sighed softly.
"How is this going?"

"Master Tang, a guest elder of the Yan family and the only second-tier high-grade array master in the Chamber of Commerce, has escaped." Dong Ping's expression was complicated.
"The last place Master Tang appeared was on Emerald Lake Island."

"The formation on Emerald Lake Island was personally set up by Master Tang, and there may have been some hidden tricks, which is why the Chamber of Commerce was able to keep it from them."

“Master Tang…” Zhu Ju frowned:
"What a coincidence?"

Tang Yuanshan is the only second-tier high-grade array master in the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce, and he also possesses the array diagram of the Chamber of Commerce's array.

His importance to the Chamber of Commerce is self-evident.

If the array diagram is leaked after they escape, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it's normal for the Chamber of Commerce to be furious about it.

but,
Everything was too coincidental.

Master Tang escaped, and the auction happened to be for the Xuanbing Flame, a spiritual artifact that had just reached the Core Formation stage. Yan Jia then launched a violent attack.

And then there's the empty bone that Yan Nanshuang asked him to 'hand over' to Master Tang some time ago—it all seems like it was all planned out.

"Brother Zhu."

Dong Ping's beautiful eyes moved:

"If you don't go to the market to look for opportunities, why don't you join me in guarding the breach? The Chamber of Commerce will reward you after we succeed."

"whee……"

"Don't think about ignoring it. As a guest of the Yan family, you are not an outsider."

"You're joking," Zhu Ju said, regaining his composure.
Where to guard?

"Over there!" Dong Ping pointed.
"Check the identities of those who have passed by to make sure that Master Tang is not mixed in with them. This will be a piece of cake."

The array on Emerald Lake Island has been completely shattered, replaced by rays of light descending from the sky.

The rays of the sunset connected and gradually enveloped Emerald Lake Island.

Once the formation is fully closed, the people inside will be like turtles in a jar for the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce.

However, Cuihu Island is vast, and it would be difficult to completely seal it off in a short period of time.

Those who sensed something was wrong had already begun to flee.

of course.

The market was in chaos, which presented a perfect opportunity to profit from the confusion. Many cultivators rushed into the market against the tide, seeking to gain advantages.

If you're lucky.

Today's risky endeavors could easily lead to years of complacency in the future.

"I heard the Fang family found a buyer for the Core Formation spiritual artifact, the Profound Ice Flame. To avoid giving anyone cause for criticism, the Fang family plans to complete the transaction at an auction." Dong Ping crossed his arms in front of him, a half-smile on his face.
"result……"

"Such a mess has happened, the auction is in chaos, and we don't even know who has gotten their hands on the items."

"Hmm?" Zhu Ju asked.
"You mean, the Yan family deliberately created chaos in order to seize that Core Formation artifact?"

The Fang family doesn't need the Xuanbing Flame, but they don't want to sell it to the Yan family, since the Yan family already dominates the Chamber of Commerce.

If the Yan family produces another Golden Core cultivator, then for the next several hundred years the Fang family will have to rely on others within the Chamber of Commerce.

But not for sale.
Holding onto this hot potato indefinitely wasn't an option. Hence the auction of the Xuanbing Flame. Unexpectedly, the Yan family went even further, finding a pretext to attack Cuihu Island.

"I didn't say that."

Dong Ping shook his head:

"It is true that Master Tang has escaped. The Chamber of Commerce has mobilized all its members and will not give up until he is found."

"stop!"

With a raised voice, she unleashed a burst of light that blocked a merchant ship that was about to leave Emerald Lake Island, shouting:
"I am a patrol envoy of the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild. I am here to search passing merchant ships. Release the array on the ship so that I can search it."

"Senior..." The ship owner looked panicked, but dared not disobey, so he could only stop the ship and activate the formation.

“Senior, we are from the Nan family of Shuiling Island. We are honest business people and never do anything wrong.”

"Did they say you did it?" Dong Ping rolled his eyes, his vast divine sense sweeping across the merchant ship:

"No problems were found, but just in case, you should wait to the side until this is over before leaving."

“Senior…” The ship owner’s face paled, then he gritted his teeth and took out a storage bag from his person and presented it to the ship owner.

"The Nan family has always been law-abiding, and they have important matters to attend to at home. Could you please make an exception and let us pass through?"

"We are extremely grateful!"

Dong Pin raised an eyebrow, beckoned to the storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and immediately a smile appeared on his face.

"She's quite sensible."

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, he selected to allow passage.

"Thank you so much, senior. Thank you so much, senior." The ship owner was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly before gesturing for his crew to leave.

Watching the merchant ship sail away, Dong Pin flipped his hand and took out a few mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, tossing them to Zhu Ju.

"half each."

"Mid-grade spirit stones..." Zhu Ju sighed softly.
"This is where you make money faster."

No wonder many practitioners are willing to undertake eons of cultivation; the mere cost of passage can yield such a substantial reward.

"Don't think I got the better deal." Dong Ping squinted.
"The cargo hold of that merchant ship was piled high with goods. I don't believe they all belonged to their family. Besides, they left in such a hurry. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on."

"It's nothing for us to accept some benefits."

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded:
"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. But are you not afraid of letting Master Tang go, fellow Daoist?"

“Heh…” Dong Ping shook his head:
"Tang Yuanshan has a special mark planted on him by the Yan family, so it's impossible for him to escape by hiding on a merchant ship like this."

"Say it again!"

"Even the Yan family can't find him, so how could we possibly find him?"

Also!

The Yan family must have used many methods to prevent Tang Yuanshan from escaping, but none of them worked. Ordinary investigation techniques would also have difficulty detecting his disguise.

"boom!"

While talking.

Not far away, a merchant ship suddenly shattered, and a streak of light shot out from it, laughing heartily while holding a bulging storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist Gu?"

"Gu Xinglan!"

The two spoke at the same time.

"This guy is getting more and more insane." Dong Ping frowned deeply.
"Sooner or later I will die at the hands of others."

"Fellow Daoist Gu has already advanced to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, which is truly enviable." Zhu Ju stroked his chin.

"Demanding spirit stones is one thing, but to kill even the ordinary crew members on the ship is going too far."

"Hmph!" Dong Ping scoffed.
"His advancement to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm came at a price. Although that pill increased his cultivation by sixty years, it also shortened his lifespan by several decades. Even if you gave me such a miraculous elixir, I wouldn't use it."

Ok?
Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

It turns out to be like this!
Gu Xinglan only told him that his cultivation had increased by sixty years, but didn't mention the side effect of shortening his lifespan.

Right.

If a single pill can increase the cultivation level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator by sixty years, what grade of pill would it be?
It's normal for things to have flaws.

"Senior, spare your life!"

"We are cultivators from the Tao family of Xiaoye Island, and have no connection with the Xiang family of Cuihu Island. We hope you will show mercy, senior."

?

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows and dashed out in a flash.

"The Tao family?"

Gu Xinglan's eyes turned red, her heart filled with greed. She swept her divine sense downwards, and more than ten storage bags came into her perception.

"I don't care about the Tao family. Today is the day for me, Gu, to make a fortune. Everything is mine."

"Go to hell!"

"Shh!"

A flash of sword light shot out, slashing straight at the ship below.

"Om..."

The merchant ship's built-in array rippled, but under the attack of the Dao Foundation cultivator, it was in imminent danger.

The Tao family doesn't even have a Dao Foundation stage, and their formation is only at the early stage of the first level, so it's impossible for them to withstand the attack of a Dao Foundation cultivator.

Seeing that the formation was about to be destroyed, Tao Caiwei and the others were filled with despair.

at this time.

"Ding……"

A glint of blade light appeared, blocking the sword's path.

"Fellow Daoist Gu."

Zhu Ju appeared nearby, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute:

"We meet again."

"Zhu Ju!" Gu Xinglan turned around, her eyes bloodshot and her face fierce, a stark contrast to her usual amiable demeanor.

"You want to stop me?"

"Brother Gu." Zhu Ju frowned.
"I have some connection with the merchant ships below. Could you please be lenient and let them leave?"

"Hmph!" Gu Xinglan scoffed disdainfully.

"You want me to give you face?"

"You too?"

As he spoke, the light from the flying sword in his hand intensified.

"Enough!" Dong Ping had already flown close and shouted coldly:

"You surnamed Gu, you've been indiscriminately killing innocent people. Do you really think the Chamber of Commerce will ignore this?"

"Are you suggesting we write down everything you've done? The Chamber of Commerce might take you to court then!"

"It's you?" Gu Xinglan raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, her expression growing increasingly fierce.

"No wonder I haven't received any response to my advances all these years; it turns out you already have someone you like."

"it is good!"

"very good!"

He gave the two of them a deep look, then formed a sword incantation and soared into the sky:

"You surnamed Zhu, we'll see about this!"

"Dong Ping!"

"After all these years of loving you, our fate ends here!"
