Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 234 Trivial Matters
Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue were not in a good situation.

The two were trapped in a corner by the boar-men and could not escape. Xiao Hanxue also seemed to be injured.

Although the two have reached the Master level, their skills and equipment have not kept up, and they are both in the most ordinary category among Master level.

Facing the siege of numerous boar-men, they struggled to hold on, to the point that they had exhausted all the white physical source crystals they carried to heal their injuries.

If Ji Fuyou had arrived half an hour later...

They might not be able to hold on any longer.

"call out!"

As the streak of light pierced the air, Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue, who were struggling to hold on, immediately felt the pressure ease.

One by one, the wild boars fell to the ground.

This anomaly...

"The Limitless Sword!"

Fang Qiyun exclaimed with delight, "The captain is here!"

"Ah! Captain, you're finally here! 5000 seconds! I've been waiting for you for 5000 seconds! Every second felt like a year! That's a full 5000 years!"

Xiao Hanxue was so happy she wanted to jump for joy.

"He looks to be in good spirits."

Ji Fuyou tossed her a white Body Source Crystal.

"She overused the Berserker Technique and is now experiencing the aftereffects."

Fang Qiyun offered an explanation.

At the same time, they quickly began searching for the spoils on these boar-men.

The probability of a wild boar developing a source crystal within its body is not high, but if a source crystal is present, it is invariably a blue source crystal.

One blue source crystal is equivalent to ten white source crystals.

"How about it?"

Ji Fuyou asked a question.

"I have fulfilled my mission. Crescent Moon Blade Qi is in my hands!"

Fang Qiyun smiled.

"it is good!"

Ji Fuyou nodded heavily.

"Let's go and meet up with Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he handed the meteor hammer directly to Fang Qiyun, so that he could unleash his full combat power.

"This is……"

The moment Fang Qiyun got his hands on the meteor hammer, he noticed something, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Cold Moon Mystic Crystal?"

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

"With this Cold Moon Mystic Crystal, Captain, you can forge a high-level divine weapon-grade battle sword. At that time, it will definitely allow your strength to reach a new level."

Fang Qiyun was also somewhat surprised.

"Look at the spoils of war around you... you can all exchange them for weapons made of Hellfire Iron."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue both nodded at the same time.

Xiao Hanxue, unable to contain her excitement, declared, "I'm going to forge a battle axe from the Primordial Iron! When that axe is unstoppable, no one will be able to stand in its way! I'll single-handedly smash through the ruins of Yindu!"

"The ruins of Yindu are not very suitable for martial artists. If you really want to practice combined attacks, you should go to the Death Rift Valley. The monsters there are fast, but their attack and defense are relatively low."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Let's stay in the Daylight Forest for now and see if we can find the Snowman again."

Fang Qiyun immediately said.

Xiao Hanxue also seemed to realize something and quickly nodded.

They all owe the captain a lot of money.

With Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue working together, Ji Fuyou's return journey was significantly smoother.

They soon reunited with Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren.

Compared to Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue's disheveled state, Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren were much more at ease.

Although there were many boar-men around them, almost blocking their escape route, they managed to remain hidden from the boar-men's perception thanks to the Great Cloud Concealment Technique.

If it weren't for the fact that the target hadn't been killed yet, they probably would have already left this place.

And the way they killed that target...

poison.

The boar-man captain was covered in toxins and was now on the verge of death.

As Ji Fuyou and the others arrived, the surrounding boarmen were drawn to their fire, and the two of them quickly rushed out to kill the boarman captain.

After they put away the boarman captain's weapon, Ji Fuyou and his companions managed to clear a path through the encirclement of the boarmen.

"Captain, the inheritance crystals and divine weapon materials have been obtained."

Yang Kaitai quickly walked forward.

"Okay, let's retreat."

Without wasting any words, Ji Fuyou led the group straight to the second floor.

Although the boarmen were formidable in combat and numerous, they were still outmatched by the team led by Ji Fuyou.

They were quickly slaughtered by several people and made their way to the second floor.

The number of boar-men on the second floor is significantly less than that on the third and fourth floors.

The group relaxed a little, but their steps didn't stop as they continued running towards the first floor.

However, just as the group was about to reach the first floor, shouts came from ahead.

"A hunting party has arrived."

Fang Qiyun said.

"Judging from the mental fluctuations and voices... it's President Zhang Luocheng of the Xizhou Spiritual Ability Association and Master Zhou Xiantian of the Martial Arts Association."

Yang Kaitai said. Xizhou and Chuzhou are adjacent, and as someone who was committed to succeeding Chairman Xue as the president of the Spiritual Ability Association back then, Yang Kaitai also had some knowledge of the surrounding Spiritual Ability Associations.

You might not remember the advanced-level martial artists and the sub-advanced-level mental energy users, but you can basically name most of the master-level martial artists and advanced-level mental energy users.

"They don't seem to be hunting boar-men; it appears they've gotten into a conflict with someone else..."

"Let's not cause any more trouble, let's go."

Ji Fuyou Road.

At that moment, the group bypassed Zhang Luocheng and the others, and headed towards the exit from the second floor to the first floor.

However, since the two sides in the conflict were near the entrance, Ji Fuyou and his group could not avoid being noticed even if they tried to go around them.

In particular, he paused slightly when he arrived at the entrance.

There are people at the exit.

"Three master-level martial artists, one advanced-level mental energy user, and three advanced-level martial artists..."

Yang Kaitai quickly sensed something as well: "However... I don't recognize these people, that's strange."

"They are from Longshou Town."

Fang Qiyun suddenly said, "I saw that high-level spiritual energy user at the Dragon Head Town Trade Fair. His name is Jin An, and he represented Zhu Long in maintaining order at the trade fair."

"Dragon Head Town!"

Liusha City is only about 100 kilometers away from Longshou Town.

It's understandable that some of them would come to check the situation now that more than two hours have passed since the ruins of Yindu appeared.

but……

Block the passage?

"I'll go up first, stay alert, and be ready to fight at any time."

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, his spirit was shaken, and he quickly honed his protective energy. In an instant, a deflecting force field formed on the surface of his body.

This scene immediately made Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, and the others widen their eyes.

"A deflection field!?"

This is top-tier skill!
Our own captain actually had this trick up his sleeve?!

"who!?"

The mental fluctuations emitted by Ji Fuyou's deflection force field were immediately noticed by those blocking the entrance.

A wave of divine sense quickly spread downwards.

However, Ji Fuyou did not hesitate to use his spiritual power to suppress the divine sense fluctuation.

The overwhelming and devastating force instantly elicited gasps of astonishment from those above.

"A spiritual master!?"

"Besides Tiandu, how could there be a spiritual master in some other place!?"

After the initial exclamation, the divine sense immediately became respectful: "I am Jin An, a subordinate of Zhu Wusheng of Longshou Town. May I ask which master is here? Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Ji Fuyou led his group to the first basement level very quickly.

During this process, even though Jin An and his group clearly had the advantage of terrain, they dared not move an inch. Instead, they deliberately kept a distance to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Why have Zhu Wusheng's men come to Liusha City?"

Ji Fuyou's figure emerged from the mist.

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou's appearance, this high-level mental energy user felt a chill in his heart and lost all hope.

"So it's Master Ji."

He responded.

Yang Kaitai, who was standing to the side, suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Ji Fuyou with his divine sense: "I heard that when Song Lingxiao and Xiao Juechen surrounded Zhu Long, there were also many people who acted in concert. As a result, many of Zhu Long's confidants died at the hands of these cooperators. Chairman Zhang and Master Zhou... may have been among those who acted in concert."

Jin An sensed the fluctuations in Yang Kaitai's spiritual consciousness.

Although I don't know what he's talking about, I can more or less guess some of it.

He immediately said, "Master Ji, this is a private feud between Longshou Town and Liusha City. Please do not concern yourselves with it. The people of Longshou Town will be extremely grateful."

"You must take advantage of this fog to wipe out Zhang Luocheng's group."

Ji Fuyou understood what he meant.

Zhu Long's men usually hid in Longshou Town and were in a weak position, so they naturally dared not make any rash moves against Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian of Liusha City.

However, this fog appeared in Flowing Sand City. As the president of the Western State Spiritual Ability Association, Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian, the president of the Martial Arts Association, could not stay out of it and would inevitably lead their teams to come to the rescue. This gave Zhu Long's people an opportunity to take revenge.

That's why we'll immediately enter this fog.

Anything can happen in the fog.

Even if many people speculated that Jin An and his group killed Zhang Luocheng and his group in the mist, without evidence and given that the incident occurred in the mist, it was impossible for He Jinglan and his group to wage war against Zhu Long of Longshou Town in order to avenge them.

"Master Ji!"

At this moment, a divine sense fluctuation came from not far away: "I beg Master Ji to lend a helping hand since our two states are adjacent. Zhang Luocheng will remember this kindness and will repay it in the future."

In the blink of an eye, they had already retreated rapidly in this direction.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou sensed that there were actually three master-level martial artists fighting against them.

Rumor has it that Zhu Long has thirteen bodyguards, all of whom are master-level martial artists and high-level spiritual energy users who committed crimes in the Federation, Brahma, or the Great Sun Empire and could no longer stay there.

It appears that most of the Thirteen Protectors were present for this operation.

“Master Ji, I believe you have heard about the grudges between our Chairman Zhu and these people. We would like to ask Master Ji to do us a favor. Our Longshou Town will remember your kindness.”

Jin An's voice rang out again, full of sincerity.

Ji Fuyou has already "seen" the difference in strength between the two sides using his Mind's Eye.

In Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian's team of six, besides themselves, there was a master-level martial artist, a high-level spiritual energy user, and two high-level martial artists.

The scale is not bad.

However, they were clearly weaker than the Longshou Town side.

If he stayed out of it, there was a high chance that Zhang Luocheng's six-man team would be completely wiped out.

And what if this six-man squad is wiped out...?

"This fog has appeared in Shifting Sands City. If no one stands up to stop the spread of the boar-men in the fog and holds out until reinforcements from other states, Tiandu, and the military arrive, the entire Shifting Sands City is at risk of being destroyed."

Ji Fuyou's spiritual power, imbued with tangible oppression, swept over both sides: "I have no intention of interfering in your grievances, but now, Chairman Zhang and the others cannot be allowed to get hurt."
