Chapter 442: Chapter 246: Want to Destroy the Dai Family, Where is the Fourth Apprentice?_2
“Alright, we’ll start making a name for ourselves by wiping out the Dai Family!”
Meng Chong said, a ferocious smile on his face.
Yu Xiaolong poked its head out from Xu Yan’s sleeve, swallowing nervously, seeming somewhat anxious.
Truly brotherly indeed, they’re damn crazy!
They’re preparing to wipe out the Dai Family now?
“My power is too weak, if I could practice, I would be able to help.”
Yu Xiaolong spoke dejectedly.
In the end, it failed to learn the great demonic methods from Red Cat.
Xu Yan chuckled, saying, “If you want to learn the methods of the great demon, wait a bit longer. Once Red Cat breaks through, it’ll pass the methods to you!”
How wouldn’t Xu Yan know what the Red Cat was thinking?
It’s afraid that after teaching Yu Xiaolong the demonic method, Yu Xiaolong’s power might surpass it. So, Red Cat planned to enhance its power after making a breakthrough, and only then would it pass on the great demonic method to Yu Xiaolong when it could suppress him easily.
The Red Cat indeed has ambitious plans.
Meng Chong smiled with amusement.
“We need to find a friend and gather information about the current situation in Yuzhou and the Dai Family.”
After changing his appearance, Xu Yan led Meng Chong towards the city owned by the Shen Family.
He was there to inquire from Shen Haizhou.
Ever since Xu Yan killed the Refining God Heavenly Man of the Dai Family and raided their treasury, the Spirit Sect of Yuzhou, in alliance with the Su Family, began the hunt for him, but Xu Yan seemed to have vanished into thin air.
No news came.
The Spirit Sect and the Su Family, feeling the heavy burden, even sent people to contact the Spirit Sects outside of Yuzhou, asking them to help track down Xu Yan.
Shen Haizhou, after waiting a while without revealing that he provided information to Xu Yan, eventually left his clan’s territory again to roam. However, for the sake of caution, he only roamed within the territories under the Shen Family’s control, especially in the big city where he made a pact with Xu Yan, where he has been residing till now.
Not long ago, a message came out that someone had spotted Xu Yan. Two Refining God experts from the Spirit Sect and Su Family were dispatched.
In the end, these two Refining God experts disappeared without a trace, never to return. They were almost certainly killed!
This alarmed the Spirit Sect and Su Family.
The Refining God experts were the backbone of the Spirit Sects and aristocratic families, and the danger posed by Xu Yan hit a new peak, as if a hand was choking both mighty forces at their necks.
The Spirit Sect and Su Family once again increased the bounty, and the lucrative reward, was enough to tempt even the Refining God Heavenly Man among the loose cultivators.
This showed the determination of the Spirit Sect and the Su Family!
Their differences with Xu Yan immediately escalated to life and death.
They even began to lobby the other spirit sects and noble families of Yuzhou to join in the manhunt for Xu Yan and eliminate this looming threat.
The Shen family also received an invitation.
After all, the Shen Family ranked among the top five aristocratic families, in no means inferior to the power of the Su Family.
Shen Haizhou’s view on this matter is, “In case they fail to kill Xu Yan, and our Shen Family gets implicated, it’s better to stay neutral. There might be a chance to strengthen ourselves and take over the resources of both families.”
His reasoning as such persuaded his father Shen Wang, and grandfather Shen Tai, along with other clan elders. They declined the invitation extended by the Spirit Sect, Su Family, and others, despite the attractive benefits offered.
Second and third-rate spirit sects and noble families in Yuzhou vied for the opportunity to please the Spirit Sect and Su Family, hence the forces participating also began to grow.
“Xu Yan’s in quite a predicament!”
Shen Haizhou sighed.
However, he reckoned Xu Yan had likely already fled from Yuzhou.
The All Ages Alliance was also looking for Xu Yan’s whereabouts. Wen Yong, who had fled Yuzhou, sends a message to the Alliance Hierarch in Yuzhou, formally introducing Xu Yan as an exceptional loose cultivator.
In the city overseen by the Shen Family…
A beautiful girl stood in front of a small shop, blushing at the flattering words from a chubby little boy, shyly saying, “Young master, I’m not as amazing as you say.”
Shen Haizhou, with his chubby face full of smiles, replied, “Your beauty is beyond words…How about allowing me to step in for a look? I assure you, I won’t disappoint.”
Crack!
A hand rested on his shoulder,and Shen Haizhou immediately turned in anger, saying, “Couldn’t you see I’m in the…”
Suddenly, a familiar-looking handsome young man came into sight, with an imposing, bald-headed brute standing beside him.
He was so scared that his heart skipped a beat.
“Brother Shen!”
Xu Yan smiled.
Shen Haizhou was taken aback, “Brother Xu?”
“It’s me!”
Xu Yan nodded.
“Who is he?”
Shen Haizhou swallowed, and looked at Meng Chong.
“My junior brother, Meng Chong!”
Shen Haizhou breathed a sigh of relief. So, he was Xu Yan’s junior brother. But why was his junior brother so fierce?
“This isn’t the place to talk, Brother Xu, follow me.”
No wonder he looked familiar; it was Xu Yan.
Under the guidance of Shen Haizhou, Xu Yan and Meng Chong followed him into a quiet small courtyard.
“Brother Shen, I’m here to inquire about the Dai Family. I plan to erase this worldly family from Yuzhou!”
Xu Yan said with a smile:
Gulp!
Shen Haizhou swallowed, his face filled with shock.
Not long ago, they had annihilated a Refining God Heavenly Man from the Dai family, and now they planned to erase the Dai family?
As Xu Yan and Meng Chong contemplated the destruction of the Dai Family, Li Xuan, their master, had already entered the capital of Zheng Country.
“No wonder it’s called the Ling Domain.”
Looking at the grand city and its bustling scenery, it far surpassed the Inner Domain.
Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
Every person coming and going was a Martial Artist.
Grandmasters were everywhere and Great Grandmasters were considered middle-tier martial artists.
Martial artists of lower than the first rank were all considered lower-tier martial artists.
There were many shops selling Spiritual Medicine, potions, weapons, and so on.
Transactions were conducted with Spirit Crystals or Spirit Tickets from the major Transcendent Spirit Sects, although Spirit Tickets were too scarce for lower-tier Loose Cultivators.
“Is this what they call the slums?”
Li Xuan arrived at the West Market, and looking at the chaotic, noisy streets, Grandmaster Martial Artists here could show off, and Great Grandmasters finally found a little bit of superiority.
Most of them were Loose Cultivators below the first-rank Martial Artist.
“How much to forge a high-quality treasure?”
A Martial Artist stood in front of a blacksmith shop and asked.
A man dressed in a short-sleeved beast skin shirt raised a finger and said, “Ten thousand Spirit Crystals!”
“Make it cheaper; I’ll provide some of the materials.”
“Eight thousand, not a Spirit Crystal less!”
“That’s too expensive.”
The Martial Artist who wanted to forge a weapon turned around, wanting to leave, his face full of discomfort.
“Six thousand, life is hard for everyone. I’m not renting this shop cheaply. There are not many people in the entire West Market who can match me in forging techniques, and my price is the lowest.”
“Fine, six thousand!”
The Martial Artist gritted his teeth, his face full of discomfort, and took out a Spirit Ticket.
Li Xuan watched the scene and had a deeper understanding of the situation of the bottom-tier Martial Artists in the Ling Domain.
“To cultivate the mysterious martial arts, you can’t lack the talents of artifact refining and array formation, and your comprehension must be high, preferably with some fresh ideas.”
“If you’re mediocre and follow the rules without any new ideas or daring to innovate, it’s hard to have the talent for the mysterious martial arts.”
Li Xuan walked through the West Market, looking at one blacksmith shop after another, and couldn’t help pondering how to find his fourth disciple.
“Mysterious martial arts are unorthodox. People who are too conventional don’t have the talent for cultivation. It’s not easy to find the right person.”
Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
These mysterious martial arts are too special; the unique talents required are too hard to find.
“The Ling Domain is so vast; there must be such talented people. I hope I can meet them.”
“If I release the array diagram, whoever can comprehend it will have the opportunity. But will this attract the attention of the Spirit Sects and worldly families, bringing unnecessary trouble?”
Li Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed.
Finding by himself was too difficult; this was completely relying on fate to accept disciples!
He left the West Market and wandered to the South Market.
The South Market was mainly for selling Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Beasts. Most of the Spirit Beasts sold were cheap and were either slaughtered for eating or were used to refine potions.
Or they were kept as pets.
Walking past the bustling South Market street, he reached the desolate end of the market. Beside a simple shop, a slightly fat teenager came out. As soon as he saw him, he showed a mysterious and vulgar smile.
He came over mysteriously, “Big brother, come, come, I have a treasure here. Do you need it?”
At last, after looking around, he said in a low voice, “This is a treasure that even the eldest young master of the Shen family has praised!”
