Chapter 123.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly a divine planner as well!”

Hearing the commotion coming from behind him, Fang Shitong, who was fleeing along with him, was silent for a moment and couldn’t help but open his mouth.

The others nodded as they heard this.

Wasn’t it?

The first time he told everyone to stop, perhaps it might have been a coincidence, but the second time, yet again, he had once again foreseen the danger and avoided it in advance, it was by no means a coincidence.

There must be a real skill in the body.

God’s skillful calculation, since it is not too much.

tan san, however, did not reply, and was planning to lead a few people around the road, when suddenly Qian Xiaoyue snapped her mouth open and said, “Just now, sister Shen sent a sound transmission, saying that they were besieged by a group of loose cultivators, and now they are already planning to evacuate, and asked when our side will be able to arrive at Water Cloud Pavilion.”

“You even have a sound transmission jade slip on you?”

Lu Wei’er, who was on the side, asked in shock.

“This was left to me by Sister Shen, but it can only be used at short distances, beyond a certain distance, it is useless.”

Qian Xiaoyue explained and said.

Hearing this, tan san looked around.

The road ahead had been blocked because of that Foundation Establishment Battle, and the fastest way around would take an incense stick of time, and one would also have to guard against the dangers one might encounter.

And today’s marketplace, it is not too much to say that it is a powder keg, who does not know, during the period in the end what will happen.

For the sake of today’s plan, the best way was to leave the workshop market as soon as possible.

Also for this reason, tan san pondered slightly, then decisively said, “Tell Elder Shen that we have our own methods, and we’ll meet up at the Ten Mile Slope outside of the workshop market later, so that they can be careful along the way.”

“Rushing from here to outside the workshop market, the distance is not short, there are killing battles everywhere in the workshop market, at any time there is a possibility of being caught in the waves …… We only have four people, if we don’t rendezvous with Senior Shen and the others, can we do it?”

Lu Wei’er asked with a worried face.

The others also had worries in their hearts.

Nowadays, it was fortunate that they hadn’t encountered any late-stage Qi Practitioner cultivators, but if they did, it would be difficult to guarantee their safety.

Therefore, in their hearts, they naturally thought that it would be safer to follow Shen Xinyue and the other people of Water Cloud Pavilion to converge together.

“Don’t worry, just follow me.”

tan san said, and once again used the Derivation Technique without moving.

In an instant, the large and small dangers in the route ahead were displayed in front of him.

Then, he took the lead and quickly charged forward.

When the others saw this, although there were some doubts in their hearts, they were not in a position to argue.

tan san kept on going all the way, and under the Derivation Technique, he was able to detect any dangers in the surroundings at the first opportunity, and even if he could not avoid them, he was able to pick a path with the least amount of danger.

Soon, Fang Shitong and the others were surprised to find that they had barely encountered many cultivators along the way, and hadn’t encountered several battles.

But obviously not far away, the fighting atmosphere is strong, from time to time there are talisman spells bombarded down, there are protective formations broken sound of bursting out.

But the danger, as if deliberately avoiding them in general.

Even if they occasionally came across murderous cultivators, after seeing their group of four, they were all wary and didn’t dare to make a move at all.

Indeed.

The strength of the four of them was actually not weak.

Three mid-level Qi Practitioner and one early-level Qi Practitioner, unless they were late-level Qi Practitioner cultivators, ordinary cultivators who also belonged to the mid-level Qi Practitioner wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

As for late stage cultivators above the seventh level of Qi Practicing?

They had never encountered one.

Even if they saw them from afar, the other party didn’t seem to notice them in the slightest and quickly ran off in another direction.

Thus, half a pillar of incense had passed, and surprisingly, they hadn’t encountered a single battle!

“This is, the South Block?”

Fang Shitong couldn’t help but ask when he saw the surroundings.

“This place is even farther away from the outside of the Neighborhood Market.

And I remember that there’s no road leading outside of the Square Market here, right?”

Lu Wei’er also asked with some doubts.

On the contrary, Qian Xiaoyue did not speak out of her trust in tan san.

“I naturally know.

At the end of South Street, there is a cliff, and below the cliff, it is actually no longer within the boundaries of the workshop market.”

tan san could not help but speak.

“But that cliff, it’s more than sixty feet high, and I’ve heard that it’s very steep, so unless a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, no one can enter or exit from that direction at all.

Even if it’s a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Practicing, falling from that high would kill him.”

Lu Wei’er couldn’t help but hesitate.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou surely has a way, although I don’t know, exactly, what it is.”

Instead, it was Fang Shitong who was much calmer and spoke.

“Naturally there is.”

As they spoke, their group arrived not far from tan san’s residence.

South Street, especially the area where tan san lived, was actually relatively remote because it was at the end of the street, which was why although there was also a courtyard guard formation broken here, the traces of battle were conversely not heavy.

When tan san and the others came to the entrance of their own small courtyard, looking at the still intact courtyard protection array, tan san was also relieved and hurriedly opened the gate.

The group of people couldn’t help but walk in smoothly.

“This, is Fellow Daoist Zhou’s residence?”

Fang Shitong asked in consternation.

“That’s right.”

tan san nodded and hurriedly led the group of people into the cultivation chamber, saying, “Here, I’ve specially dug a secret passageway that leads halfway up this cliff.

Through the secret passage, we will be able to escape directly to the bottom of the cliff, and we will be able to escape from the workshop without any problems, so the mountain is high and the sea is wide, and there is no more danger.

At that time, we only need to meet up with Senior Shen and the others at Ten Mile Slope.”

Between words, a group of people entered the cultivation chamber.

First into their eyes, is that huge spell wall.

And on top of the spell wall, the shattered traces.

“This is a forbidden spirit stone?

Why is it so badly damaged?”

Saying that, Fang Shitong looked at tan san with a stunned face and asked, “This, could it be caused by Fellow Daoist Zhou casting a spell?”

Qian Xiaoyue and Lu Weier on the side also noticed the spell wall, as well as some spiritual power fluctuations and spell scents that were still vaguely lingering in the room at this moment.

“It’s a spell wall made of forbidden spirit stones, and it’s indeed extremely useful in terms of cultivating spells.

Unfortunately, it can no longer be used.

However, a scene like this is not something I caused.

I moved in just like this.”

tan san said with a calm expression, then came into another cultivation chamber, and with a smooth flick of his hand, he revealed an underground passageway.

“The concentration of spiritual qi here, it’s so abundant?

No wonder Fellow Daoist Zhou’s realm, too, has risen so quickly.”

Lu Wei’er took a deep breath and spoke in surprise again.

Compared to her original small courtyard of four, the concentration of heaven and earth aura here was at least twice as much.

If she had been staying in such an environment to cultivate, perhaps her cultivation level, too, would be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Practicing and become a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

“This is the Southern District after all, and there’s also a small Spiritual Vein Node, so the degree of Spiritual Qi concentration is, indeed, much higher.

However, the rent here isn’t cheap, so I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Zhou would live here directly after moving away from the outer edges of the workshop.”

Fang Shitong on the side could not help but open his mouth as well, looking at tan san thoughtfully.

“Unfortunately, it was also only lived here for half a year before I had to move out again.

However, the security here is indeed much better than the outer perimeter of the workshop market.

The outer area, where dragons and snakes mix, is a little too dangerous, perhaps the neighbors who live next to them are the robber cultivators and evil cultivators who kill and seize treasures in the night.

Always live in that area, every day fear, sleep and food difficult to eat, and how can not feel at ease to cultivate? Don’t you think so, Fellow Daoist Fang?”

tan san similarly looked at Fang Shitong, a hint of a smile on his face.

“That’s true.”

Fang Shitong’s face did not change as he nodded in recognition.

tan san gave the other party a deep look, and ultimately did not say anything more.

Subsequently, it was tan san who took the lead and jumped down the secret passage, Qian Xiaoyue followed closely, then Lu Weier, and finally, Fang Shitong broke the back.

All the way down, soon, tan san arrived at the exit halfway down the cliff.

“I’ll go down first, then you come down next, don’t worry, I’ll pick you up from below, or there’s a rope here as well, so you can descend for a distance before jumping down.”

tan san glanced at Qian Xiao Yue and spoke.

“Don’t worry, at this height, I can do it.”

Qian Xiaoyue glanced downwards, ten or so feet high, in her heart, although she was a little worried, she still drummed up her strength and said.

Nodding his head, tan san then looked towards Lu Wei’er and Fang Shitong, saying, “After Xiaoyue finishes jumping, it’ll be Lu Wei’er, and finally, it’ll be fellow Daoist Fang.

Don’t worry, I’ll be all down below to take over, there won’t be any danger.”

Saying that, tan san’s body flashed with a spiritual light, making a light body technique, and then gently leapt.

As light as nothing, he directly leapt down from above.

Soon after, it landed smoothly.

The Perfection Level Light Body Technique allowed his body to always be under a state of lightness, and with that strong physique, there just wouldn’t be any problems.

Immediately after tan san landed, he looked upwards and nodded slightly to Qian Xiaoyue.

With a clench of her teeth, she also followed suit and leapt down.

However, compared to tan san’s consummate Lightning Body Technique, her Lightning Body Technique was much weaker, only at the Proficient level, which was why the speed of the descent was also slightly faster.

Seeing this, tan san hurriedly stepped on his feet, and his figure quickly ascended, and after three steps in a row, he leapt up to three or four feet, and steadily caught her, and swept her up in his arms, and then landed down lightly.

“Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhou.”

Qian Xiaoyue’s face was blushing as she slightly lowered her head and said.

“You’re welcome.”

tan san said, quickly raising his head to look up.

Facing a height of more than ten feet, Lu Wei’er clearly had a bit of trepidation, and between her trepidation, it was only after Fang Shitong said something that she finally boldly walked to the mouth of the cliff.

Immediately after that, he saw Fang Shitong put his arm around Lu Weier’s shoulder, grabbed the rope with one hand, and then lightly jumped.

The spell he used was obviously not a lightness spell, but a middle grade spell that was a bit more advanced than the lightness spell, the Flying Swallow Technique, although it was only at the proficient level, but when he jumped down, it was very light, plus there was a rope to assist him, and after sliding down all the way for four or five zhang, then following the strength of the rope, he slightly yanked it, and then his feet stomped on the edge of the cliff. At once, the two people quickly rotated.

With four eyes facing each other, there was quite a bit of romantic atmosphere.

Only then did they come together and land smoothly on the ground.

“This place has indeed gone out of the workshop.”

After landing on the ground, Fang Shitong also revealed a shocked look as he raised his head and looked into the distance, saying, “It’s not even far from the Ten Mile Slope, it’s directly away from the danger.”

As soon as the words fell, in conjunction with the workshop market, a loud rumbling sound that suddenly came out was an even more wordless corroboration.

“Let’s go.”

Immediately afterward, the group of people rushed directly in the direction of Ten Mile Slope.

Because it was all a forest of trees and there were no traces of other cultivators, the group’s minds and hearts were much more relaxed.

Then one incense stick later, the group appeared in the middle of Ten Mile Slope.

Because it was still early in the morning, there was no one around.

Only from afar, they were able to see that within the marketplace, beacons of smoke were rising, and from time to time, they could hear terrifying waves of sound and the sound of spells blasting down coming out.

Of course, they could also see that there were many cultivators who were fleeing in all directions outside of the marketplace.

“This time, it’s really too sudden and unexpected.

Previously, when I heard Xiao Yue mention that the Marketplace was about to be in turmoil, I was still a bit skeptical, and I was also hesitant a few days ago as to whether or not I should follow along and leave.

I didn’t expect that this chaos would break out in advance.

If it weren’t for you guys, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Lu Wei’er looked at the panic fleeing in the distance, but from time to time, someone made a sneak attack in public, accompanied by the sound of miserable howls, could not help but say with emotion.

This time, she really had a sense of survival after the robbery.

In her heart, towards the three people, she did feel some gratitude as well.

“Sister Wei’er you’re welcome.”

Qian Xiaoyue pulled down her hand and said.

“Yes, fellow Daoist Lu.

If we’re talking about gratitude, it’s still me who should be thanking you.

If it wasn’t for your offer to let me follow you guys, I would probably still be scurrying around in the marketplace.

In the end, I probably wouldn’t even know how I died.”

Fang Shitong followed suit and then gazed at tan san and said, “Fellow Daoist Zhou has always been hostile towards me, it should have been in the past, when he discovered something, right?”

“Hm?”

tan san glanced at him and did not speak.

Qian Xiaoyue’s body tightened, but she moved a few points closer to tan san.

In fact, she was the first one to discover Fang Shitong’s identity, and at this time, being in the wilderness, the other party was a solid Qi Practicing Sixth Layer Cultivator, far superior to her and tan san, so naturally, she had a few moments of worry.

“It is true that I have done the killing and seizing of treasures in the past.”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wei’er’s face changed, and just like Qian Xiaoyue, she moved a few points closer to the direction where tan san was.

Although she had been reminded by Qian Xiaoyue, she had deliberately kept a distance from the other party for some time, but after a period of time, she found that the other party was not as vicious as she had imagined, plus this time, the other party had saved herself, and in her heart, she had actually created a few points of dependence.

But when the other party said this, she recalled Qian Xiaoyue’s reminder from before, and was a bit scared since.

“However, I am not the robbing cultivator that you think I am, Fellow Daoist Zhou.”

Seeing this, Fang Shitong let out a bitter smile and hurriedly said, “I don’t know if you guys have heard of the Greenleaf Alliance?

My senior brother and I, in fact, joined the Greenleaf Alliance long ago under the leadership of our master.

And our main source of income actually comes from relying on taking on some assassination missions in the Greenleaf Alliance.

However, we don’t take on any assassination missions, we generally look for those who have some notoriety, act badly, and do wrong as targets.

At that time, I was still with my senior brother, who was responsible for checking out the news, while I was responsible for monitoring the targets and making plans.

It has been quite smooth, and within the Divine Wind Valley, it is actually considered a small reputation.

Half a year ago, my senior brother and I took on the task of assassinating a cultivator at the sixth level of qi cultivation, and we didn’t realize that we just happened to catch up with the Feng family’s call to station at Feng Ming Dock workshop, and that target came to Feng Ming Dock workshop with us.

Thus, we also followed and quickly intercepted the other party on the outskirts of the market.

Perhaps, it was that outburst that caused Fellow Daoist Zhou to have a misunderstanding?”

“Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it’s not certain.”

tan san said noncommittally.

Qian Xiaoyue, on the other hand, opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

After all, she was the one who spread the news.

“On the night of chaos, because of curiosity, Senior Brother and I also followed most of the cultivators into the inner city of the workshop.

Who knows, but because of that, Senior Brother completely fell in the inner city of the workshop.

All because we took one more look at a cultivator.

At that time, we had just entered the inner city not long ago, but we found that there was a late stage Qi Practicing cultivator who was fighting with three cultivators of the sixth Qi Practicing layer. We were planning to retreat, but we didn’t expect that late stage Qi Practicing cultivator to be so powerful that he quickly killed those three cultivators and quickly rushed towards us.

We turned around and fled, just because of the distance, but the senior brother was hit by the other party s flying sword, and directly fell, and I heard the sound of my senior brother s screams, but did not dare to turn back at all……. This day, I actually expected it, and I was all prepared for it.

Only, when my senior brother died, I was shocked to realize that I was weak.

To be honest, I am afraid.

Those who kill, people will always kill.

Who can guarantee that the next target I strike to assassinate will not have the strength to kill me back?

Therefore, I decided to call it quits.

Therefore, in these half a year, I have never taken on another assassination mission, and I rarely even go out the gates of the workshop market ……”

Saying that, Fang Shitong looked towards tan san and said, “It’s only right that Fellow Daoist Zhou is wary of me.

However, I feel that there is absolutely no need for fellow Daoist to be too defensive.

Because even half a year ago, when Senior Brother was still around, we wouldn’t have randomly struck out at ordinary cultivators.”

“Cultivators of my generation are careful.

Fellow Daoist Fang actually doesn’t need to worry about anything, as long as you don’t make any untoward moves, I won’t do anything since.”

tan san also opened his mouth and said.

These words between the two were considered a frank exchange, and although they were unable to completely remove the barrier, the relationship between the two, did ease up a bit.

Of course, this did not mean that tan san seriously believed the other party.

Although Fang Shitong bluntly said that he only kills those who should be killed.

But what people should be killed, what people should not be killed, but it is not his words can be determined.

The reason why tan san did not worry too much, in the final analysis, in fact, for their own strength, have enough confidence.

Confident that he can in the moment the other party has misbehavior, his own spells, blast down on the body of the other party.

Gengjin finger, five elements of thunder art, regardless of which spells, can actually have the power of the late level of qi cultivation, and almost all of them can do instantaneous and to.

He was just not afraid of the threat the other party might pose.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, I’ve just gotten in touch with Sister Shen.

They are still on the outskirts of the workshop, but they are almost there.”

Also at this exact moment, Qian Xiaoyue collected the transmission jade slips and looked towards tan san and spoke.

“That’s good.”

tan san nodded, and also couldn’t help but drop his gaze in the direction of the Marketplace.

Under the Spiritual Eye Technique, most of the areas within the Marketplace were almost instantly visible in his eyes.

At this moment, after the initial chaos, the movement of the battles had become much smaller, but in the eastern area, dazzling spell lights were seen blossoming out from time to time, and there were even cultivators rising up into the sky, clearly strong Foundation Establishment True Cultivators making their moves.

Other than that, the most lively area was the outer area of the marketplace.

From time to time, one could hear the roaring sound of a house’s defense array being broken, occasionally interspersed with some screams and wails, making people change color.

In the import and export area of the market, there were even more people rushing out, and many of them let out cheers of survival, and then almost instantly were killed by the sneak attack of the suddenly approaching cultivators.

Even though it was daytime at this time, the attacks between cultivators were often swift and vicious.

Driven by greed, one cultivator after another showed no mercy.

Under the Spiritual Eye Technique, tan san had seen more than one instance of two or even several people suddenly attacking their companions.

Slowly, there were also cultivators approaching the Ten Mile Slope.

But seeing the four of them staying here, they didn’t dare to approach, either avoiding from afar, or going around carefully.

The four of them, three mid-stage qi cultivators and one early-stage qi cultivator, the deterrent effect was still very powerful.

Until, a late stage Qi Practicing cultivator, charged straight at them.

tan san and the others hurriedly leaned in vigilantly.

However, this person did not even look at the few people and quickly swept past.

Only, as he was about to move away, his footsteps suddenly lurched and he couldn’t help but stop, his eyes looking at tan san and the others with a cold gaze, saying, ”Hmm? Killing intent? You guys recognize me?”

tan san was slightly stunned, but his heart was alerted with it.

Seventh level Qi Practicing cultivator.

Immediately afterward, his gaze locked onto Fang Shitong’s body.

“So it’s you brat.”

With that, he let out a laugh to himself and said, “Last time, I let you run away, this time, I’d like to see if you can still run away.”

Immediately afterward, his mind moved slightly, and the magic weapon flying sword in his hand, immediately hovered in the air.

“Retreat!”

tan san let out an explosive shout, and without even thinking about it, he reached out his hand and pointed it forward.

At the same time, the spiritual light on his body flickered continuously.

The Body Protecting Technique, Light Body Technique, Sword Sentry Technique …… various spells were practically utilized when he moved his mind.

Immediately afterward, a bunch of spirit talismans appeared in his hand with it, and he quickly swung it forward.

Rumble!

A sheet of lightning talismans and fireball talismans were all energized by him.

And at this point, he didn’t stop at all, a huge tortoise shell artifact suddenly appeared in his hand, and between the slight movement of his spiritual energy, a ball of spiritual light immediately erupted above the launch, protecting him within the artifact.

And soon, his body also followed the emergence of a magic weapon flying sword …….

All of this, all of this happened too quickly.

Although tan san was not sure why this person in front of him had stopped and why he had struck.

However, the moment the other party summoned the magic weapon out, he did not hesitate at all and immediately made his move.
