CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: UNLEASHING A MASSACRE

"Calm down, let me think!"

The situation is obvious.

The Ding Family discovered a valuable mine.

As soon as Pill Master Du and Ancient Artifact Master found out, they took their trusted disciples and fled.

"I’m afraid the Ding Family won’t let the loose cultivators from the market leave easily."

If I were the Ding Patriarch, I would definitely organize the loose cultivators from the market to defend the Celestial Derivation Copper Ore.

Fight a fierce battle, cause losses, and then negotiate with the opponents.

As for the life or death of the loose cultivators, it pales in comparison to the foundation of the Ding Family.

"What about a flying ship? Is there any?"

"No! Two thousand spirit stones for a ship, I can’t afford it!"

"Didn’t Fellow Daoist Wen buy one?"

"He has money!"

"Is there a way to get a flying ship, even if it’s second-hand?"

Lady Ding Yuyao and Zhao Chunsheng’s wife and children are weak in strength.

The best way is to take a flying ship, piloted by Zhao Chunsheng, protected by Shen Xuan, and rush out of Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

As long as we fly over Longze River, Shen Xuan is confident he can take them away safely.

Zhao Chunsheng circled a few times and stopped in his tracks.

"I remembered, there is a cultivator selling a second-hand flying ship. However, this person is difficult to deal with, and his reputation is poor; he often engages in deceit!"

That evening, Shen Xuan and Zhao Chunsheng arrived at a lonely third-class mansion.

Zhao Chunsheng said that the cultivator claims to be Guo Boling, in the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer realm.

He has two brothers, both in the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer realm.

This place is quite remote.

It is said that the previous owner’s family died suddenly, cause unknown.

The Ding Family’s Law Enforcement Team rarely patrols here.

"Very clever, hiding in plain sight among the market."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Using the Insight Technique, he detected five presences within the mansion.

All of them are in the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

"Five cultivators, could there be two unexpected guests?"

Invisibility Technique!

Concealing Breath Technique!

Zhao Chunsheng watched wide-eyed as Shen Xuan disappeared right before him.

"Shen Talisman Master?"

"I’m right beside you. Soon, we will enter together!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s voice, Zhao Chunsheng finally felt at ease.

He indeed didn’t dare face Guo Boling and his men alone.

These three should be Tribulation Cultivators.

Somehow, they bribed members of the Ding Family, changed identities, and settled in Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

Previously, when Cyan Dragon Bay was harmonious and stable, these three could still behave themselves.

If the situation changes, who knows if they will return to their old ways!

"Shen Talisman Master, there’s one more thing."

"Speak!"

"Lend me some spirit stones. I’m afraid I don’t have enough."

"How much do you need to borrow?"

"Five hundred spirit stones!"

Five pieces of middle-grade spirit stones appeared out of thin air and flew into Zhao Chunsheng’s hands.

He kept them safely, gathered his courage, and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.

"Who is it?"

"Demon Hunter Zhao Chunsheng, here to see Fellow Daoist Guo!"

A lazy and stocky man came out after opening the door, looked Zhao Chunsheng over a few times, and allowed him to enter.

Inside the reception hall, there were already two guests seated.

It was actually fellow demon hunter Chen Tuzi and his trusted brother.

The host Guo Boling sat at the main seat, took a sip of spirit tea, then looked up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao visiting late at night, do you have important matters?"

"Zhao Chunsheng greets Fellow Daoist Guo." Zhao Chunsheng respectfully cupped his fists and saluted.

"I heard Fellow Daoist Guo has a flying ship for sale, is it true?"

Guo Boling laughed, "Yes."

"I wish to purchase one."

"Two thousand spirit stones!"

"I want to check the quality of the flying ship first."

"No problem!"

At Guo Boling’s signal, another lanky man brought out a flying ship from the inner residence.

Zhao Chunsheng frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, this is a second-hand flying ship, still priced at two thousand spirit stones?"

"You and I know the situation now. Two thousand spirit stones, non-negotiable. If you want it, hand over the spirit stones!"

"Alright!"

Zhao Chunsheng reluctantly took out twenty pieces of middle-grade spirit stones from his storage pouch.

Luckily, he borrowed five middle-grade spirit stones from Shen Xuan beforehand.

Otherwise, he couldn’t afford even a second-hand flying ship.

The spirit stones were handed over, but the flying ship was still not given.

Guo Boling shook his head.

"Zhao Chunsheng, you’re known as a smart person, how did cleverness become stupidity for you!"

"Throw over your storage pouch and magical artifacts, and scram!"

Zhao Chunsheng’s face turned extremely unpleasant.

"You’re openly robbing me?"

"I warned you just now. You clearly don’t understand the current situation?"

Guo Boling looked quite pleased, "The Ding Family is busy with their own affairs, you’ve walked right into my trap; I couldn’t be more delighted."

"Isn’t that right, Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Chen Tuzi laughed, "That’s right! Zhao Chunsheng, now it’s your turn!"

Zhao Chunsheng took several steps back and raised the Fire Phoenix Saber.

Guo Boling shook his head.

"Zhao Chunsheng, you still want to resist? You have the strength to fight five of us?"

"I don’t."

Zhao Chunsheng replied honestly.

The five people present burst into laughter.

"But my brother does!"

Just as he finished speaking.

A chilling cold blew in!

Water splashed noisily.

The well water in the courtyard surged out.

Rushing directly toward the reception hall.

In an instant, four Cold Ice Divine Dragons appeared in the void, as fast as lightning, pouncing on the four cultivators excluding Guo Boling.

Chen Tuzi was astonished.

In his line of sight, the Cold Ice Divine Dragons grew larger, the dragon heads raised high, imposing and fierce.

The smile on his face hadn’t faded when a chill spread across his neck, and his head was already detached from his body.

A pillar of blood shot skyward.

His trusted brother and Guo Boling’s two close brothers all met the same fate, their heads flying off.

At this moment, Shen Xuan’s figure finally emerged.

Both hands held a Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle, forming a cold ice blade over a meter long.

Guo Boling’s face changed rapidly.

He reacted quickly, patting his waist and activating a Golden Light Talisman that enveloped him.

This was a Tier One upper-grade talisman with extremely strong defensive power.

But Shen Xuan withdrew the Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle.

He summoned a palm-sized black seal.

The well water continuously absorbed into it.

Swelling rapidly to the size of a millstone.

And smashed down on Guo Boling’s head.

Guo Boling waved a yellow Spirit Shield, trying to block it with all his might.

The quality of the Spirit Shield was excellent, managing to withstand the Heavy Water Seal’s attack.

But Guo Boling’s arm couldn’t bear the weight.

Under the pressure of ten thousand pounds, it directly fractured and shattered.

Guo Boling could no longer control his panic.

Retreating, he shouted hysterically, "Shen Talisman Master, stop! It’s a misunderstanding!"

He surprisingly recognized Shen Xuan.

"I know a huge secret..."

Before he could finish, the Heavy Water Seal came crashing down again.

This time, both the seal and shield slammed heavily into him.

Crushing him into a meat patty.

Until his death, Guo Boling couldn’t understand how he ended up defeated here.

What arrived wasn’t just a fat sheep.

But also a messenger of death.

After killing Guo Boling, Shen Xuan swiftly collected the five people’s storage pouches and magical artifacts.

Seeing Zhao Chunsheng standing there like a wooden figure, he couldn’t help but curse.

"Why are you standing there foolishly! Hurry up and refine the flying ship!"

"We can’t stay here long; let’s get back quickly!"

Only then did Zhao Chunsheng seem to awaken from a dream.

He quickly used all his spiritual power to refine the flying ship.

Shen Xuan, on the other hand, used the Insight Technique.

Monitoring the surroundings for any movement.

Once Zhao Chunsheng finished refining the flying ship.

Shen Xuan said, "Burn all these corpses!"

"Alright!"

Zhao Chunsheng unleashed several Fireball Techniques, burning the five corpses to ashes.

As soon as they completed the destruction of evidence.

A sudden bang sounded from outside.

The ground shook.

Zhao Chunsheng’s face turned pale.

"Were we discovered?"

Shen Xuan’s expression also changed drastically.

"This commotion..."

In the next moment.

Shen Xuan suddenly jumped up, "Someone is attacking Cyan Dragon Bay Market!"
