Chapter 359: Ambush from the Old God of Licheng! [Top!]

This area is already to the north of Qifeng Prefecture.

One hundred and twenty miles ahead, there is a human city called Yuanshan City!
Three hundred miles west of Yuanshan City is one of the seven large pure lands in Qifeng Prefecture.

Enter Yuanshan City, go straight from the northeast gate for 800 miles, and you will reach the direction of the holy land!

Fu Zhong knew about the incident at Taixuan Divine Mountain, so he did not plan to return to the holy land, but planned to go straight north.

Although the Taixuan Divine Mountain runs across the east and west and separates the north and the south...but the north direction of Yuanshan City is the defense line of the Tianji Flag!
"That group of caravans should have come from Yuanshan City."

Fu Zhong took a look, frowned and said, "On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual."

"Most of the people in these caravans are pale and uncomfortable... Besides, there are three clean sites at a similar distance behind us."

Lin Yan said slowly: "They can arrive before tonight, but at this moment, they have settled in the medium-sized clean area ahead."

Although the medium-sized clearing can accommodate this caravan, the caravan will not be willing to delay as long as they can reach the city or large clearing ahead earlier.

Normally, they should continue to move forward, split into three groups, and temporarily stay in the three small pure places.

But now, it is indeed a little early to prepare to rest in that medium-sized clean land.

-

There were more than sixty people in the caravan, all of them were warriors, but most of them had only superficial martial arts skills, and only strengthened their flesh and blood.

There are six people who are in the second stage of martial arts, refining blood and washing marrow.

There are four people in the inner strength realm.

But there was a warrior who had reached the Refining Essence Realm.

The caravan had already stopped outside this medium-sized clearing, with more than twenty carriages fully loaded with goods.

Lin Yan and Fu Zhong were also riding horses towards here.

"..."

The warrior in the Jinglian realm's expression changed slightly as he looked at the two figures in front of him.

A dragon-scale horse covered in silver scales.

A black jade horse with a completely black body and a jade-like color.

These two horses alone are enough to prove that the two people who came are definitely not ordinary people.

"You two are heading north, are you going to Yuanshan City?"

The martial artist at the Refining Essence Realm took a deep breath and said loudly, "It's not peaceful over there lately, you have to be careful."

"How can it not be peaceful?" Fu Zhong frowned.

"There are many evil spirits invading the north of Yuanshan City. I heard something big happened in the north." The warrior said, "Yuanshan City has been put under martial law, especially for outsiders, who are being checked very strictly..."

"Aren't you guys from Yuanshan City?" Fu Zhong said, "Since caravans can come and go, there shouldn't be a city-wide martial law, with no communication between the inside and outside!"

"We were just unlucky. We happened to be caught in the city-wide martial law."

The warrior smiled bitterly and said, "We have more than 20 truckloads of goods, but they are wasted. Now we want to change our route and go to Qifeng Prefecture..."

After hearing these words, Lin Yan and Fu Zhong looked at each other and roughly understood what was going on.

The flags of this caravan bear the name of Licheng!

Afterwards, the two of them glanced over and were able to tell that most of the goods on the car were products unique to Licheng, and a few of the goods should have come from Dongshan Prefecture and Linhai City.

These goods are extremely rare in Yuanshan City and can be sold at high prices.

The businesses in Licheng would send the goods to Yuanshan City. After selling the goods, they would usually purchase goods unique to Yuanshan City and sell them back to Licheng.

All in all, the profit is quite good.

"So, you transported all the way here and arrived at Yuanshan City, but happened to encounter the beginning of martial law in Yuanshan City?" Fu Zhong asked in surprise.

"Yes, I should have made a lot of money. Who wants to lose money?"

The warrior sighed and said, "Some of these goods cannot last long. If they are not sold in Yuanshan City, they will rot on the way! As for the remaining goods, they can be sold at a high price in Yuanshan City. If they are put in Qifeng City, the price will be reduced..."

He let out a breath and said, "After all this trouble, we've lost a lot! While some of the food is still here and hasn't rotted, we brothers are going to eat more today. Since you two have met, it's fate, why don't we go together?"

"Since Yuanshan City has been declared under martial law, we two brothers will most likely have to return to the capital city, which is just right for us."

Fu Zhong sighed and said, "It's fate that we meet. I have some wine here. Let's have a drink!"

He said this, then turned his head to look at Lin Yan, and said in a very low voice, "They were just rejected by Yuanshan City. Now that they have this batch of goods, they are bound to lose money, so they are not in a hurry to leave."

"It's normal to eat some of the food before it rots."

"You think it's strange that people are taking a break in the afternoon and not in a hurry to travel. It seems that you are worrying too much."

"You said that most of these people looked pale and uncomfortable... Just imagine, they traveled a long way to Yuanshan City to do business, and now the business has failed. It is understandable that they are in a bad mood and the atmosphere is not right."

Fu Zhong said, "I know you are cautious, but you don't have to be on guard against thieves all day. I think the other party is quite generous and open-minded."

Lin Yan turned his head, glanced at him and said nothing.

Fu Zhong said helplessly: "With your current abilities, there are only a handful of people in the three prefectures who can pose a threat to you!"

"And the most powerful warriors here are only at the Refining Essence Realm. You just stood there and let them hack you a hundred or eighty times without getting hurt. But you are wary of them. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"

"It's like a dragon crossing a river, afraid that the small fish and shrimp in the river might eat it."

"Relax and drink well... You are younger than me, and you have been busy killing people ever since you picked up a knife. It's time for you to experience the fun of life."

As he spoke, Fu Zhong led the black jade horse into the medium-sized clean area.

Lin Yan seemed a little helpless, and also followed behind him, leading the Jiao-Scale Horse.

-

It's approaching evening.

In the clean space, light a fire and set up an iron pot.

The pot contains products from Linhai City, including a lot of fish, shrimp and shellfish.

"The fish and shrimp in the sea are far superior to those in the rivers. The people of Yuanshan City love these the most."

"The big shopkeeper behind us is no ordinary person. He got the ice talisman from the Licheng Temple to suppress these fish and shrimps and keep them from rotting. Only then could he send them all the way to Yuanshan City."

"It's a pity that the ice talisman can only last for twenty days at most, which is enough to last until Yuanshan City. Now we are blocked from entering Yuanshan City. In half a day, the power of the ice talisman will be gone, and these things will rot and breed maggots."

The martial artist at the Refining Essence Realm laughed and said, "You two can eat as much as you want. All you can eat!"

As he said this, he took out another package and handed it over.

"This is the large white pear that is unique to my Licheng."

"Although we can't eat the 'divine fruit' produced by the God's body, there are large areas of pear trees planted behind the temple, which have been contaminated by the God's aura."

"These large white pears were picked from the temple. They are sweet and delicious. If you eat more, you can get a little bit of divine energy and walk at night without fear."

"..."

Lin Yan took a pear and weighed it in his hand.

He had never been to Licheng, but he was familiar with it.

General Pei came from Licheng.

It is said that the ancient god of Licheng was a pear tree that would bloom and bear fruit every year.

Behind the temple, more than a thousand pear trees were planted, imbued with the aura of the deity.

Just like the Liuzun Temple in Gaoliu City, a large number of willow trees are planted behind it.

This is used to make willow branch night lamps. After being contaminated by the energy of the willow vase and blessed by the temple priest, it will have the effect of bringing good luck and avoiding misfortune.

The Licheng Temple should have imitated the Liuzun Temple.

"But this pear doesn't look like an ordinary pear."

Lin Yan put it on the ground and said calmly: "The divine energy inside is something I have never seen before in Gaoliu City..."

The martial artist in the Refining Essence Realm suddenly changed his expression and reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife. However, before he could react.

Fu Zhong put one arm on his shoulder and said with a smile: "The old god of Licheng specially condensed this 'fruit'. If you eat it... you will carry the thoughts of the old god. People below the Refining God Realm and whose primordial spirits have not yet been formed will most likely be reduced to ashes."

"The poison was cleverly administered, but the acting was a little clumsy."

Lin Yan said calmly: "If you weren't so eager for quick success, if you changed the occasion, changed your identity, changed the right time... maybe we would really eat it."

"What do you mean?"

The martial artist at the Refining Spirit Realm had a gloomy expression on his face and said, "We are treating you to delicacies from the mountains and seas, and fruits from Licheng with good intentions, so why do you want to rob and kill us?"

Lin Yan did not reply, but his eyes fell on the pear, and he said lightly: "It seems that the old god of Licheng also has great hostility towards me, but... rather than killing me, it seems that He wants to control me more?"

"let me go!"

This warrior in the Jing Lian realm struggled hard.

Fu Zhong pressed his hands on his shoulders and poured his Qi into him, making him unable to move.

The Tianji Flag had quietly set up a barrier outside the three people.

"..."

The martial artist at the Refining Spirit Realm suddenly turned pale and sighed, "How did you see that? I didn't intend to kill anyone, so I didn't have any murderous intent..."

Fu Zhong smiled and said, "The Saint Master said that your caravan should not be in this medium-sized clean land."

The warrior frowned and said, "Martial law has been imposed in Yuanshan City. What I said before is true!"

He sighed and said, "We should have started in Yuanshan City, which is indeed more suitable, but we were rejected by Yuanshan City..."

"As a caravan, we have suffered a loss in business and are left with nothing. Before the goods rot, we should find a clean place and eat them all together. There shouldn't be anything suspicious!"

"Didn't you explain it to the Holy Master just now in the same way?"

The warrior frowned and said this.

Lin Yan sighed and said, "We just met by chance, but you are too enthusiastic... If you are too attentive to me for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief!"

The warrior's expression became increasingly ugly.

Then, Lin Yan said, "Also, there were only about 60 people escorting the large caravan of more than 20 carriages. It was a little short... maybe more than half of them were killed?"

The warrior in the Jing Lian realm felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

"A warrior in the Refining Essence Realm, with four warriors in the Inner Strength Realm under his command."

"With the help of Jie Jin, who was inside the caravan, we killed the high-ranking warriors of the caravan and took over the remaining people and goods."

"Right now, those four strong warriors are suppressing the rest of the caravan."

"And you pretended to be the leader of the caravan to get closer to them."

"If you eat this pear, the strange thoughts of the old god in Licheng will overwhelm your souls and spirits, destroy your own will, and become a member of Jiejin."

At this point, Lin Yan turned his head to look at Fu Zhong and asked, "As for these seafood, are they not poisoned?"

"How can they all be poisoned?"

Fu Zhong laughed and said, "Don't treat me like a fool...Eating a hundred kinds of food, if one of them is poisonous, it's enough to harm you!"

"Since you've already discovered the clues, why don't you just take action and kill us?"

The warrior at the Refining Essence Realm said this with a complicated expression.

"You deserve to die."

Fu Zhong said slowly, "But the remaining dozens of people in this caravan are innocent after all! Before the two of us approached, two strong warriors, with more than ten people, entered the Pure Land first... If we took action, they would kill people first, right?"

"Forget it. I'm done for."

The martial artist at the Refining Essence Realm closed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's get started."

Snap!
Lin Yan slapped him in the face and sneered, "Who are you looking down on? You killed people in a clean place. Do you think I'm a rookie?"

Fu Zhong sighed and said, "I don't treat you as a young boy, I just treat you as a reckless man..."

It is said that Wuchang would draw his sword and kill people whenever he disagreed with something, regardless of the occasion or reason. He is a real reckless man!

Obviously the other party thinks so too.

"Drag him out and kill him."

Lin Yan unfastened his jaw to avoid biting his tongue.

But the warrior in the Refining Essence Realm had a cold look in his eyes, but showed no fear at all.

Fu Zhong knew what he relied on, so he slowly reached out and pulled out the Tianji flag from behind, saying, "Those four strong warriors are easy for us to kill, but in this clean place, it's more difficult..."

Killing people in a clean place will definitely bring bad luck!

With Lin Yan's current abilities and Fu Zhong's Tianji Flag, he could probably avoid this ominous sign.

But destroying such a medium-sized clean land close to Yuanshan City is a big problem.

"Four strong warriors, in four different directions, with more than ten people gathered around them, ready to strike at any time."

Lin Yan said: "Just now the three of us chatted for a long time, but no one came to join in the fun..."

Fu Zhong said, "They are all watching this place. If they find something wrong, they will kill or commit suicide! I think they are planning to destroy the medium-sized clean land and use the ominous signs of the clean land to bury both of us here..."

People who rob the ashes usually don't attack the pure land.

But if he could bury the Holy Master and destroy a medium-sized pure land, it would be perfect for Jie Jin!

"..."

The eyes of this warrior in the Jing Lian realm were full of sarcasm, and he seemed extremely proud.

They cannot kill the Holy Master.

Their methods could not be hidden from the Holy Master.

However, this medium-sized pure land involves the ancient gods. Once blood is seen, they are bound to awaken, giving rise to an ominous sign!

Even if he is a saint master of the human race, even if he has the ability to create landscapes, he may not be able to escape from here!

But at this moment, he kept trying to struggle, trying to warn his four companions and let them take action immediately.

However, he was controlled by Fu Zhong's true energy, causing him to raise his glass unconsciously.

From the perspective of the other four strong warriors, they were having a very pleasant conversation and were about to accomplish something!

"I don't know what the talisman of this medium-sized pure land is, nor do I know what form the ominous omen takes."

Fu Zhong thought for a moment and said, "If the Heavenly Secret Flag is unfolded, it is hard to say whether it will awaken the amulet..."

Lin Yan wanted to open the inner divine realm, but after hearing this, he pondered and said, "So, if I open the inner divine realm, it will also alarm the guardian deity?"

"Nine times out of ten, the town creature will wake up!"

Fu Zhong said this, and then said: "This clean land is also a relatively large one among the medium-sized clean lands... With your ability, it is not difficult to kill four strong warriors in an instant."

"But you can't kill it, but you have to control it. You can't move it. You don't even have the strength to bite through the poison in your teeth. It really tests your ability to control it in a minute manner."

He looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Are you sure?"

Before the voice fell, Lin Yan in front of him disappeared.

An illusory flower bud appears before my eyes.

The buds bloom and the petals unfold.

In the blink of an eye, the lotus shadow disappeared.

And Lin Yan's figure appeared again.

Just a blink of an eye!
"All four were defeated."

Lin Yan said calmly: "Write a letter to inform the capital that the old supernatural thoughts in Licheng have shown signs of awakening! If their chief temple priest has not reported it to the capital, it is likely that they have been corrupted by the old thoughts..."
