Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 209 Pressing Closer (Please Subscribe)
The sound came suddenly.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

In the [Insight] skill, a team of red-clad law enforcement officers, led by a squad leader, charged forward menacingly.

The one who shouted was the squad leader.

Qi Refining Stage 7.

The four team members behind him were all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The scattered cultivators around Shen Xuan all dispersed, making way for him.

"My lord, it's nothing! I was just selling Xuan Shui Turtles!"

Old Peng gritted his teeth, went to meet him, and handed him two spirit stones.

The squad leader reached out and pushed Old Peng's spirit stones away, sneering, "Trying to bribe the enforcement team in public? Get out of my way!"

He walked up to Shen Xuan.

"What's your name?"

"Shen Xuan."

"Why is the name registered when entering the city Shencheng?"

"Shencheng is my original name."

"quibble!"

The squad leader sneered, "Impersonating someone and infiltrating the market, they must have something to do! Take them down!"

"No! Your Honor, I'm innocent!"

Old Peng grinned and leaned forward.

“Master Shen Fu lived here for over fifty years; he is definitely a virtuous cultivator!”

The familiar rogue cultivators all pleaded on his behalf.

"My lord, Old Peng is right. Please don't hold it against Master Shen!"

"Yes. Master Shen is a veteran of Qinglong Bay Market. Please, sir, show him leniency!"

The enforcement squad leader gave a cold shout.

"Shut up!"

“The Crimson Rainbow Sect’s enforcement team is handling matters. If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way!”

"Otherwise, they will be considered accomplices and taken to the Hall of Justice!"

Seeing the fierce and menacing look of the enforcement team leader, the rogue cultivators fell silent, not daring to utter another sound.

Shen Xuan sighed deeply.

He too had risen from humble beginnings in the marketplace, so how could he not understand that this enforcement team leader was using this as an excuse to plot against him?

He had ill intentions from the very beginning.

The so-called impersonation is just an excuse.

If Shen Xuan were a rogue cultivator without any connections, it wouldn't be so easy for him to get out of the Crimson Rainbow Sect's Enforcement Hall.

If it can avert disaster by spending money, then it's considered a good thing.

The worst fear is that his body will vanish without a trace, disappearing from the world of cultivation.

This is also one of the reasons why independent cultivators are unwilling to leave their original residential market easily.

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and said, "My lord, I made a careless mistake and registered under my original name. This is a minor matter, and I will correct it immediately. Please forgive me."

"You make it sound so easy!"

The enforcement team leader glanced sideways at Shen Xuan.

"The Song Kingdom is currently at war with the demonic cultivators of the Liang Kingdom. Who knows if you are a spy for the demonic cultivators!"

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

This is a false accusation.

Colluding with demonic cultivators means being executed without mercy within the sphere of influence of any sect in the Song Kingdom.

He was somewhat confused. How could the Crimson Rainbow Sect's law enforcement team be so sloppy in its work?

In public, even if you want to target a wandering cultivator from elsewhere, you need to find a legitimate reason!

Shen Xuan said coldly, "You're trying to frame me."

"I had heard before that the Crimson Rainbow Sect acted tyrannically, and now I've witnessed it for myself!"

Upon hearing this, the five members of the Crimson Rainbow Sect's enforcement team were all enraged.

"How dare you! To slander my Crimson Rainbow Sect, you must be a demonic cultivator spy!"

"Take it!"

Two law enforcement officers, holding spirit-sealing ropes, attempted to step forward and bind the person.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

There was a line from a movie in my past life that said something very good.

To hang out, you must have power and background.

The same applies to the cultivation world.

However, it's replaced by factors like background, family connections, and social connections.

Shen Xuan is a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

His status is higher than that of the elder in charge of the Crimson Rainbow Sect in Azure Dragon Bay.

How can we allow ourselves to be falsely accused?

Two law enforcement officers put the sealing rope around Shen Xuan's body.

Shen Xuan's face was cold.

His body remained still.

Two dark ice fish leaped out.

The two law enforcement officers were suddenly startled and had just opened their mouths.

Before they could even utter a sound.

The dark ice fish shot at the two of them.

In the next instant, the two of them were frozen solid.

Since achieving minor mastery of the [Ice Soul Spirit Body], all of Shen Xuan's spells have come with a freezing effect.

"How brave!"

The enforcement team leader drew his sword.

Before he could even start it.

A dark, icy fish flew swiftly towards them.

Even someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

The other two teammates behind him, seeing how powerful Shen Xuan was, turned and ran.

Shen Xuan watched the two figures flee and smiled slightly.

"Master Shen, let's go!"

"Yes, the market has a Foundation Establishment Elder from the Crimson Rainbow Sect overseeing it!"

A bold rogue cultivator whispered a word of advice.

"Thank you all for reminding me. I was planning to treat you all to a meal and drinks, but it seems that's not going to happen."

"Fellow Daoists, please step aside. I, Shen, invite you to watch the show!"

Since he had already resorted to violence, Shen Xuan decided to escalate the situation further.

In any case, the Crimson Rainbow Sect only had two Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the Azure Dragon Bay Market.

Shen Xuan really didn't take it seriously.

As for the Core Formation Realm cultivators...

Don't tell me you weren't at Qinglongwan Market.

Even if they were there, they wouldn't bully him or lay a hand on him.

Do you really think he's some kind of rogue cultivator without any foundation?
The Qingyun Sect is one of the seven major sects in the Song Kingdom.

Legend has it that there exists a Nascent Soul True Lord.

There are more than ten Golden Elixir True Persons.

This is something that the Crimson Rainbow Sect, with only one Golden Core cultivator, cannot contend with.

Soon.

The two law enforcement officers came over with a group of people.

There were more than twenty people.

The one walking at the very front was none other than someone with the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This person must be the enforcement captain of Qinglong Bay.

"Where did this demonic cultivator spy come from, daring to run wild on the territory of the Crimson Rainbow Sect!"

Shen Xuan was too lazy to argue.

Point your finger.

At the fingertips, one after another, transparent, dark ice fish leaped out.

After a few breaths.

Enforcement Captain Fa Jianfei flew towards a dark, icy fish. His face had already turned deathly pale.

on site.

Except him.

The twenty-odd people they brought were all frozen into ice sculptures.

"Stop!" the enforcement captain shouted, his voice trembling.

The magic sword in his hand, pointed at Shen Xuan, was trembling incessantly.

"You've framed me as a demonic cultivator spy, are you trying to seize my wealth?"

"After looting everything, will they spare my life?"

"Probably not."

Shen Xuan looked heartbroken.

"The Crimson Rainbow Sect is a Daoist sect, how could they resort to such despicable methods!"

"Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" The enforcement captain panicked and quickly tried to explain.

"My subordinates were blind and mistook me for someone else. I beg you, fellow Daoist, for the sake of the Crimson Rainbow Sect, please forgive them..."

At this moment, Shen Xuan looked up.

A sound of breaking through the air was heard.

A figure came hurtling in on a sword.

Upon seeing this, the enforcement captain was overjoyed.

"Elder Liu, this person is a demonic cultivator, skilled in ice magic. Be careful!"

In the blink of an eye, he changed his face.

"You audacious demonic cultivator! How dare you cause trouble before me!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who flew in on his sword glanced at the frozen Crimson Rainbow Sect law enforcement officers and shouted sharply.

It was Liu Wangjing, the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Crimson Rainbow Sect who was stationed in the Azure Dragon Bay Market.

Without asking a single question, he summoned the Flowing Cloud Flame Blade, unleashing several eerie, dark blue flames that silently hurtled towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

Originally, he was considering whether to show mercy and stop there.

Unexpectedly, the cultivators of the Crimson Rainbow Sect are all more domineering than the last.

Liu Wangjing immediately unleashed his natal magic weapon to attack, leaving Shen Xuan with no choice but to intervene.

"disease!"

As Shen Xuan shouted, more than a dozen solidified dark ice fish leaped from his fingertips, colliding with the dark blue flames and extinguishing them with a "plop" sound.

Liu Wangjing was shocked and furious.

He unleashed his natal magic weapon, but the opponent merely made a hand seal, which completely shattered his attack.

The difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

"Still denying you're not a demonic cultivator!"

Liu Wangjing gathered his spiritual power and pointed it several times at the Flowing Cloud Flame Blade.

Suddenly, the blade gleamed, transforming into a ball of dark blue flame, emanating a dangerous aura that could incinerate everything, poised to strike Shen Xuan.

"Stubborn!"

Shen Xuan said coldly.

The voice just fell.

The ghostly blue flames then swept in like a tidal wave.

The surrounding air was sizzling.

The scattered cultivators in the surrounding area retreated to the outer perimeter.

They feared being caught in the crossfire.

Suddenly, dark ice fish leaped out of Shen Xuan's body, forming layers of spiritual ice walls in front of him, blocking the dark blue flames.

The sizzling sound of the flames echoed throughout the market.

Shen Xuan stood quietly in place, staring coldly at Liu Wangjing.

Each time a layer of the spiritual light ice wall is melted away, a dark ice fish will leap out from Shen Xuan's body and replenish the original spiritual light ice wall.

The flames of the ghostly blue fire gradually diminished.

Protected by the nine-layered ice wall of spiritual light, Shen Xuan remained unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai.

"What a demonic cultivator!"

Liu Wangjing's face was gloomy, and his voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, he realized that Shen Xuan's strength should not be underestimated.

Although water magic has a restraining effect on fire magic.

But what determines the outcome is the power of the spells used by the two combatants.

The azure flames turned back, transforming into the Flowing Cloud Flame Blade, which Liu Wangjing held in his hand.

Subsequently.

he shouted.

His body swelled up dramatically.

It was a full 15 or 16 feet long, about twice the size of its original form.

From his vantage point high above, wielding the Flowing Cloud Flame Blade, he transformed into a cloud of fire and slammed it down upon the Spirit Light Ice Wall.

The clanging sounds continued incessantly.

Extremely fast.

Each strike breaks through a layer of icy light.

"Let's see how much spiritual power you have left!"

After breaking through nine layers of spiritual light ice walls in one breath, Liu Wangjing opened his mouth and spat out a ball of dark blue flames, which burned towards Shen Xuan.

This is a strange fire he obtained from the mine, called Flowing Cloud Star Flame, a peculiar flame carried by the Flowing Cloud Star Stone.

Using Foundation Establishment True Fire, nurtured for thirty years, its power is immense, enough to incinerate the physical body of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That's his trump card.

Shen Xuan remained calm.

It was as if he had expected it all along.

Even at this point, he still hadn't used his magic weapon.

Instead, he gently pointed at the flowing clouds and starlight.

A miniature ice dragon suddenly appeared.

He raised his head and let out a low roar.

In an instant, it swelled to several feet in size, carrying an extremely yin and cold power, and roared as it met the flowing clouds and starlight.

"call!"

The flowing clouds and starlight suddenly froze, remaining unchanged.

Frost rose around them.

Soon, it was formed into an ice sculpture, which firmly imprisoned it.

Liu Wangjing used his Flowing Cloud Flame Blade to parry the Frost Dragon and retreated swiftly.

"My strange fire!"

Amidst a scream of shock, the Flowing Cloud Flame Blade was covered in frost.

He looked at Shen Xuan, his eyes filled with hatred.

Regardless, he lost face in this confrontation.

Even the strange fire that shared their fate was imprisoned and taken away by Shen Xuan.

The cultivators of the Crimson Rainbow Sect all underestimated Shen Xuan's strength.

At first, the enforcement squad leader thought he was easy prey and wanted to take him to the enforcement hall to plunder spirit stones.

Later, the enforcement captain received a report from his subordinates and led a group of men to the enforcement hall, intending to tie him up and bring him in for questioning.

Until the arrival of Liu Wangjing, the elder in charge of the market.

Without asking any questions, they immediately launched a magical attack.

The domineering style of the Crimson Rainbow Sect is evident.

This time, they ran into Shen Xuan and kicked a hornet's nest.

Liu Wangjing narrowed his eyes.

He raised his right hand high.

Slide it down heavily.

Following that, countless golden spirit arrows, like lightning, swept across the sky and shot towards Shen Xuan.

"Damn! The Crimson Rainbow Sect has activated the Market Array!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.
