Chapter 174 Enemy Appears

While Miaoli Shan was chattering, Wei Zhong pointed to the five-color formation above his head and asked:

"Senior Miao, can this formation differentiate between demon cultivators and ordinary human cultivators?"

"Of course it's impossible. According to the description of this formation in the Chamber of Commerce, it can only attack and defend under the control of the monks.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this? Do you think there is a demon cultivator mixed in at this banquet?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"I don't know. It's just that when I returned from the exchange meeting a few days ago, I encountered someone following me."

Miaolishan chuckled upon hearing this:

"I think you are too sensitive. You must have acted generously many times during the trade fair to let others know that you are rich, and this attracted people with different intentions."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

"In the heart of the Wang family, feel free to enjoy this feast. Even if the fourth-level demon cultivator comes, he will not be able to take advantage of this formation."

Recalling that there were four Nascent Soul warriors sitting in front of the Wang family, Wei Zhong felt a little more at ease.

Someone tapped the iron ring outside the door:

"Senior Miao, Fellow Daoist Wei, the banquet has begun, and we invite you two to go to Nebula Peak."

…

Nebula Peak is not far from Yunhai Peak, only three miles away.

On the way Wei Zhong rushed to this peak, many visitors had already gathered from all directions.

When Wei Zhong arrived, he discovered that Nebula Peak was not as tall as Yunhai Peak, but rather low. The smooth surface of the peak was as flat as if it had been shaved off by some kind of magic weapon.

At this moment, the Wang family is holding a banquet here.

When Wei Zhong arrived, a disciple of the Wang family led him to his seat. At the same time, Wei Zhong looked around and saw many familiar people.

Wan Yanfu, who had not seen him for three days, gathered his colleagues from the Chamber of Commerce and the people from the Red Flame Society who had the representative black robe.

There were many visitors, and the place was mainly composed of alchemy monks. Wei Zhong looked over and saw more than a hundred people.

‘The resource richness of Yunzhou City is indeed far greater than that of Xiafu City. The current number of pill-forming monks in Luohe Mansion is only a few dozen, and this number is simply not worth mentioning on Nebula Peak. ’

‘And these hundred Jiedan are just a part of the entire Yunzhou City. If other Jiedan are included in this, wouldn’t there be nearly a thousand colleagues? ’

‘Sure enough, the fourth-level spiritual land is about nurturing people. For the subordinate cities, pill-forming resources are still precious spiritual objects, but here in Yunzhou City, they have become a routine. The differences in the spiritual world are once again highlighted here. ’

Wei Zhong raised his head and looked at a huge cloud in the sky, which was where Nascent Soul's visitors were.

As far as Wei Zhong could see, he could vaguely see six Nascent Souls on it.

‘Two people from the Wang family, one from each of the other three major forces, and a Nascent Soul, who come from nowhere? ’

Wei Zhong identified the identities of several people and recalled the other Nascent Soul cultivators in Yunzhou City.

‘In such a resource-rich Yunzhou City, the number of Nascent Souls has remained at a dozen all year round. As expected, every step forward in the realm is extremely difficult.

‘In the past hundred years, I have only heard of Song Linfang and the head of the Wang family advancing, but no one else has reached this level.

The two Nascent Souls, in front of thousands of Dan Formation, have a very low chance of advancement. ’

When Wei Zhong was sighing, a person suddenly walked up to him.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I haven't seen you for many days..."

Wei Zhong turned around and saw Xunyangzi's face. His face showed joy, then he smiled bitterly:

"Fellow Taoist Xunyangzi has been very powerful in killing me recently!"

…

Within the clouds above their heads, six Nascent Souls were drinking from cups.

"Nephew Qingyun, you have finally entered the fourth level of body refining. From now on, we will be called fellow Taoists. Congratulations!"

The speaker was the strange Nascent Soul, with a ruddy face and a kind smile. There is no hair on the top of his head, and he seems to be a rare Buddhist cultivator.

"Uncle Hui is serious, you are my ancestor's friend, and you watched Qingyun grow up, so naturally we cannot mess up the seniority.

I will have to call you uncle from now on. "

Wang Qingyun said humbly.

"Haha, it's rare for the Wang family to have a good head like you..."

Several people were chatting and laughing.

Miaoli Shan drank a pot of spiritual wine and took another pot, with no intention of participating in the conversation.

This kind of situation is not suitable for him. What's more, the bald donkey Miaoli Shan from the Western Desert is not familiar with him either.

There was even no intention of interrupting.

"Speaking of which, where is the other protagonist of this banquet, Fellow Daoist Song?

"How can someone from a third-level spiritual house like Luohe Mansion enter the Nascent Soul? This really makes us curious."

The speaker was Chu Wenqian, the black-robed monk of the Red Flame Society and the elder of Nascent Soul.

His face was cold and stern, and he was not smiling when he said this. It was difficult for the two Wang family members to tell whether there was genuine curiosity on his face.

"Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious. Since you are the protagonist, you will naturally make your final appearance. If I wasn't here to receive all the guests, I wouldn't be here..."

Miaoli Shan drank another pot of spiritual wine, sighing at the grandeur of the Wang family.

‘Perhaps this is the only opportunity to continue drinking this fourth-level spiritual wine. ’

"It's normal to not see Fellow Daoist Song. How come you haven't seen Sister Qianxi either?"

Burping from wine, Miaoli Shan took a mouthful.

"My sister is inspecting the magic circle. I must ensure that no thieves offend my Wang family today."

‘The Wang family is still as cautious as ever. ’

Che Kunlin secretly praised it in his heart.

"You really should be cautious. A few days ago, our disciples were followed by thieves. I don't know what the reason was."

"Oh, there is also this matter. If you dare to have evil intentions on my Wang family's territory, don't worry, my friends, I will investigate this matter thoroughly..."

Wang family land far away from Xingyun Peak, the edge of the formation.

A ball of black light appeared in a corner of the formation, avoiding the formation and cutting out a special space.

Among them, Wang Qianxi frowned. She was originally inspecting the Galaxy Mirror Formation, but something unexpected happened when she arrived here. She was attacked by an unknown monk and was forced to fall into this place.

"Boundary treasure?"

After observing for a moment, Wang Qianxi recognized the environment she was in.

After reaching the fourth level, some fine artifacts will have the ability to form a barrier.

For example, Wanyan Fu's treasure fan, but the treasure in front of him is more powerful than the flame treasure fan.

In addition, the realm of the person casting the spell is higher, and the strength formed is very different.

Wang Qianxi attacked several times, but failed to shake the surrounding black fog and could not escape.

Suddenly, in the barrier, the black fog rolled, and a mysterious monk in a black robe appeared. His face was covered with a fang ghost mask, and Wang Qianxi could not recognize the other party's face.

The divine consciousness probed, but was also bounced back by a mysterious force.

‘Spiritual Secret Treasure? ’

Wang Qianxi frowned even more deeply.

“Since you dare to offend my Wang family, why don’t you dare to show your true face?

“Such sneakiness is not the style of Yuanying.”

“My power is not as strong as the Wang family, but I dare not reveal my identity, so as not to cause revenge from the Wang family in the future.”

“We have no intention of harming you on this trip. You just need to stay in this barrier for a while.”

“We will leave when we achieve our goal.”

How can we trust the enemy’s words?

The other party was able to set up traps near the Galaxy Mirror Array, which means that they have been planning for a long time, and they may have bribed a formation master of the family.

So much effort, I am afraid the purpose is not simple.

‘The purpose of putting yourself here is probably to prevent me from controlling the formation. It seems that the enemy is not strong.’

“Humph, you invaded my Wang family’s land, and you dare to be so shameless.

"Let's fight with me first." Before he finished speaking, the magic sword in his hand turned into an arc of light and flew towards the black-robed monk. Outside the barrier, four Jindan gathered here, each holding a formation plate and injecting their own spiritual power into it. Fang Jie looked up at the huge black sphere that was shaking in front of him, and exclaimed: "It's worthy of being at the level of Yuanying. There is a huge gap between us Jindan." The other four people had the same expression. "This Wang Qianxi is a fourth-level formation master with Yuanying cultivation. As long as she is controlled here, this fourth-level formation will be half-wasted, cutting off an arm of the Wang family. Our actions will be easier..." While several people were talking, two people flew over from a distance, revealing two old men. One of them was wearing a black robe, and the other was wearing a gray robe engraved with the Wang family logo. "Friend Wei, have you cleaned up the area?" "Haha, with the help of Friend Ye, it's naturally easy to capture," the black-robed monk said to the old man beside him. Without saying a word, the grey-robed old man flew to the edge of the formation, put in several formation plates, pinched his fingers and cast spells many times, and a layer of hazy spiritual light rose, covering the black ball of the barrier.

This cultivator surnamed Ye actually used the Galaxy Mirror Formation used by the Wang family for protection to cover up the enemy's tracks.

The black-robed cultivator surnamed Wei clapped his hands and praised:

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Ye, he was able to seize part of the operating rights of the Galaxy Mirror Formation from Wang Qianxi without being discovered.

"With such ability, he is not far from becoming a fourth-level formation master."

"Haha, the Wang family doesn't recognize talents, and Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed wise to invest in us. ”

“…”

While the five people were chatting and laughing, the traitorous Wang family cultivator had a calm expression.

His name was Ye Xiukai, and he married into the Wang family a hundred years ago.

When he was building his foundation in his early years, he relied on his talent in formation to become a Taoist partner with a girl from the Wang family, and naturally entered the Wang family.

After years of practice, he not only raised his own cultivation to the middle stage of Jindan, but also entered the third level of formation. He should have been a top cultivator in the Wang family.

But because he was a cultivator from another family, his Taoist partner died accidentally many years ago, which led to his... He was looked down upon and suppressed by the Wang family.

Although his spiritual stone salary was not damaged at all, his quota of other rare resources was far less than that of others.

This led to his slow progress in realm. After years of procrastination, he saw that his remaining life span was not enough for him to enter the late stage of Jindan or even Yuanying, so he became disloyal.

It happened that a group of mysterious monks contacted him at this time.

After struggling again and again, he finally chose to rebel.

"This place has been covered by the Galaxy Mirror Array, and only a fourth-level array master and Yuanying monk can find the abnormality.

"I have kept my promise, and I hope you will not regret your promise."

Fang Jie replied:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye, Old You took great measures to abolish the spiritual contract between you and the Wang family, which is enough to show his sincerity."

Thinking of the spiritual contract, Ye Xiukai felt a little more at ease. It was the other party's method of abolishing the spiritual contract that drove Ye Xiukai to cooperate with them.

In this way, he can go anywhere in the world without the restrictions of the Wang family.

Even if you don't join this group of people, as long as you get what you need from them.

After leaving Yunzhou and leaving the Wang family's sphere of influence, you can also find a spiritual place to practice well.

Looking at the black barrier in front of him, Ye Xiukai couldn't help asking:

"You can deal with this Miss Wang, how about those Yuanying in the Wang family?"

"Haha, don't bother with that, Brother Ye.

"We only need to complete the task of trapping Wang Qianxi and preventing her from controlling the formation. As for the rest, there are special people to handle it."

Sensing the ambiguity in Fang Jie's words, Ye Xiukai did not ask any more questions.

'As long as you achieve your goal, let the Wang family be in chaos. '

On Xingyun Peak, Wei Zhong chatted with the cultivators non-stop. At this moment, many fellow cultivators had gathered around Wei Zhong.

Among them, Wanyan Fu, Xun Yangzi and others were the most prominent.

As for the others, some valued Wei Zhong's status as a fourth-level refiner and came forward to chat.

Others wanted to make themselves familiar in front of the true disciples of the Shadow Moon Sect and the Puyang family.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei can accept the customization of a fourth-level magic weapon. There are still some fourth-level spiritual materials in my family..."

Wei Zhong smiled and shook his head:

"I have only been a fourth-level refiner for a few years, and my skills are not mature yet. Fellow Daoist should look for another expert."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is too modest. Your sword and knife are not ordinary things..."

The cultivators beside him praised Wei Zhong's skills, which made Wei Zhong a little overwhelmed. He bowed his hands to apologize and squeezed out of the crowd.

Cheng Ruirui came closer and asked Wei Zhong why he didn't accept the commissions from these people to refine weapons.

Wei Zhong was about to answer when he heard Wanyan Fu say:

"Junior sister, you know these people by appearance but not by heart. If Fellow Daoist Wei succeeds in refining weapons for them, it's fine, and you can earn a small reputation.

But if you fail, it won't be easy. They will inevitably turn against you and fight for interests."

"Fellow Daoist Wanyan is still very clear!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei is now a recognized fourth-level refiner, so he doesn't need to refine weapons to prove himself.

"In addition, you are rich and have no shortage of cultivation resources, so it's better to accept fewer commissions from these individual people.

"Their family background is not as good as Fellow Daoist Wei. If they fail to refine weapons, they will pester you."

Wei Zhong nodded and kept this in mind.

"Speaking of which, it's already noon, why hasn't the banquet officially started yet?"

Wanyan Fu was also a little surprised to hear what Wei Zhong said.

The Wang family member who was called over to ask the reason was answered:

"The banquet schedule was arranged by the head of the family. We are only responsible for settling the seniors here. We don't know anything else."

When Wanyan Fu was confused, Cheng Ruirui suddenly patted his shoulder and pointed to the sky in the distance and said:

"Brother, look!

"There is a spiritual boat coming over there."

Wei Zhong looked up as he was directed, and indeed saw a jade boat full of colorful decorations.

In amazement, he turned back to look at Cheng Ruirui.

'This girl's spiritual consciousness is not low, and it is almost the same as my weakened strength.'

When Wei Zhong placed several spiritual fragments in the puppet, the spiritual consciousness strength would retreat to about 30% of the total.

But even if it is 30%, it is definitely the early stage of Jindan.

It is really shocking that she has such a strong spiritual consciousness when she is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
