Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 139 Beast Attack
Seeing that the middle-aged cultivator had a high level of cultivation, Jin Shilun was a little wary at first. But after a moment, he recognized that the person limping towards him was Kuai Wu, the head of the Kuai family. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The relationship between the two families is pretty good now. The Kuai family is thinking of marrying Kuai Wu's younger sister to the Chongming Sect to be his aunt. There is no reason for them to do anything bad to him in the market.

"Greetings, Senior Kuai." Jin Shilun was very polite and dismounted the wild ox to pay his respects.

"Brother Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Old Kuai has something to ask you about your family." Kuai Wu pulled Jin Shilun into his grocery store.

There are only four cultivators left in the Kuai family now, and Dantong Cliff in Tanggu County is not a dispute-free place. The cultivators have to take care of their family first, and they cannot afford to leave another person in Chongming Market to look after the business.

So Kuai Wu hired an old cultivator he knew to take charge, because Kang Dabao had not yet asked the merchants for rent, so at the end of the month, the Kuai family could still earn a few spirit stones, which was a great help for a small clan like theirs.

However, Kuai Wu came here this time not just to check out the business of this small shop.

He pulled Jin Shilun into the quiet room behind the shop and asked, "Brother Jin, let me ask you, does your master want your Uncle Pei to marry Lu Yunniang from the Lu family?"

"Ah? Where did Senior Lu get this information?" Jin Shilun said in surprise.

"You don't know? Phew, that's good, that's good, it must be fake news. I said your master is a kind-hearted person, and he would definitely not have the heart to do such a thing as breaking up a couple." Kuai Wu let out a long sigh, poured a bowl of spiritual tea for himself first, and then remembered to pour tea for Jin Shilun.

He just kept talking, "Brother Jin, you may not know that when Brother Pei and my cousin were staying at my house, they were childhood sweethearts. If this marriage doesn't work out, both of them will regret it for the rest of their lives. You have to speak well of my sister in front of the master. When she marries into your family, she will definitely repay you."

Jin Shilun hesitated for a few words. How could he dare to interfere in the affairs of his family elders? He answered Kuai Wu casually and came out of his shop and came to the door of Chongming Building.

The young swordsman was even more cautious than when he was walking through a small path. After he made sure that Lady Insect was not in the store, he felt at ease to step into the store.

There was no business in the store at that time, so after asking the maid who was greeting customers at the door, Jin Shilun came to the backyard and found Zhou Xinran playing chess with several pretty maids.

Zhou Yixiu's precious daughter was not the type to be able to endure practicing. Apart from having a slight interest in business, she was rarely seen practicing seriously in her free time. She was mostly seen having fun with others.

Therefore, although she is older than Jin Shilun, her cultivation level is only at the third level of Qi training, and she is almost caught up by her two junior brothers Han Yundao and Kang Rongquan.

"Oh, my Junior Brother Jin is here. I won't play with you anymore. I'm going to go and accompany my Junior Brother." Zhou Xinran clapped her hands happily when she saw Jin Shilun. She left all the maids behind and dragged the latter to the front hall. "Junior Brother, why are you coming down the mountain? Did the teachers ask you to help? No, no, go back and tell the teachers. I can handle it here. Junior Brother should concentrate on practicing."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I am only here to look for some useful spiritual materials to take back." Jin Shilun was afraid that Zhou Xinran would reveal her flaws if she asked again, so he changed the subject and continued, "Senior Sister, do you know that the head of the Kuai family said that the master wants our Uncle Pei to marry Senior Lu Yunniang of the Lu family?"

Zhou Xinran's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in shock: "Where did this news come from? This is nonsense!"

Jin Shilun just nodded: "So that's it" but heard Zhou Xinran on the other end say with a smile: "It was Lu Xun, the head of the Lu family, who asked Bingren to talk to the headmaster. He wanted to marry Senior Lu Yunniang into our family. The headmaster thought that his family couldn't afford much dowry, so he didn't refuse in person."

Seeing Jin Shilun was stunned, Zhou Xinran continued, "I heard from my father that the head master is now planning to go to the He family to propose marriage to Uncle Pei, and several of his fellow disciples are still discussing it these days. Uncle Pei is now a late-stage cultivator and an intermediate alchemist. Considering the friendship between the two families, the He family will agree."

Zhou Yixiu, a daughter-slave, can't hide many secrets in front of Zhou Xinran. Fortunately, Zhou Xinran is very smart and knows what to ask and what not to ask, and what can be said and what cannot be said.

Normally, she likes to pick up some unimportant but quite secret little things to tell her junior fellow students. This has helped her gain a small group of fans and made her position among the younger generation more unshakable.

"Oh, if it's the He family, that's really good." Jin Shilun thought of Lu Xun who was learning skills in the He family caravan. The Lu family and the He family are one worker and one owner, so there's no need to compare. Besides, Senior Lu Yunniang is not very good-looking, so don't let our Master Pei feel wronged.

The two siblings were talking happily and had no idea that in the path that Jin Shilun had passed by earlier, a small group of strong and energetic warriors were looking at the Chongming Market with fierce looks on their faces.

"Yunjiaozhou is a really peaceful place. A small sect that doesn't even have a few people in the late stage of Qi training has the courage to open a market." The leading female cultivator in the tiger coat snorted coldly and asked the short and thin cultivator beside her: "Are you all ready?"

"Senior sister, we just arrived, so we should be careful. Do we have to disturb the local forces right away? If the situation becomes too big, I'm afraid..." The short and thin monk was interrupted by the tiger-jacket female monk's gaze before he could finish his words.

"What are you afraid of? The older you get, the less courageous you become. If we don't make some noise, how can we get the spirit stones?" The female cultivator in the tiger coat cursed fiercely. The short and thin cultivator lowered his head and stopped arguing. He could only answer, "We are ready. As long as we send a letter to Junior Brother Qian, the nine hundred first-level monsters that Master has lured will be released at the same time. The first-level top-grade magic array in this market cannot stop them."

"Okay, Junior Brother Qian is still reliable! Learn from him!" The tiger-jacketed female cultivator's eyes showed a hint of excitement. She turned to the three people beside her and said, "Listen carefully. When this market is breached by the beasts, none of us are allowed to search for spiritual materials and food inside. We must continue to control the monster beasts to hunt down the cultivators here and try to kill all of them."

"Yes!" The three responded in a deep voice. The female cultivator in the tiger coat made a gesture, and the short and thin cultivator released a yellow-billed black owl covered in black feathers from his sleeve, which soared into the sky.

Then, one could hear clear and loud whistling sounds in the air. After a few breaths, one saw countless trees in the forest opposite the market being broken by the galloping beasts, and the dust and smoke that were splashed seemed to cover the entire forest.

The sound of the monsters' hooves hitting the ground was as fierce as a mountain torrent and as loud as thunder, attracting all the cultivators in the market formation to look over.

"Bang," without giving the monks much time to react, a red-maned wild boar at the front of the herd had arrived, and it took the lead and crashed into the formation shield of Chongming Market.

After the huge roar, the formation shield did not show any ripples.

The red-maned boar felt a splitting headache. The skin and flesh on its head had already torn apart, revealing the white skull inside.

However, just because one red-maned wild boar couldn't break through the array shield doesn't mean that the whole herd can't. As the vanguard of the herd, they have already swarmed in, and the array shield that was extremely tough just now began to flash with spiritual patterns after just a few breaths.

"Boom!" Zhou Xinran, with a pale face, pulled Jin Shilun out from a group of silent monks. She was seen holding the formation flag, and her hand turned into spiritual light and kept moving, releasing most of the spiritual thunders contained in the formation, killing and injuring the red-maned wild boars closest to the formation. The air was filled with the smell of meat.

The monks in the formation also began to swallow their breath and drool, not because they were greedy, but because they were frightened by the situation outside.

At this time, there were hundreds of monsters of various colors surrounding the formation. These monsters might not be very intelligent, but they were definitely not stupid.

Zhou Xinran's spiritual thunder indeed shocked them, and they did not dare to move for a while.

Zhou Xinran suppressed the severe pain coming from his tendons and veins after overdrawing his spiritual energy, and glanced at the panicked cultivators from various sects. He had no idea what to do next.

"Can the teachers come? Will it be useful if they come?"
