Chapter 32: Market Attack

Li An remained calm and continued to read his book.

After the old man bought sixty forbidden-breaking talismans, he left with satisfaction.

Thoughts kept flashing through Li An's mind.

If Li An's previous guess was a bit neurotic, it now seems that there is indeed something fishy.

The skinny young man, the one-armed man, and the withered old man with both hands intact, the three people have completely different appearances, and even their cultivation levels are different... Could they be the same person? !

He suddenly remembered - the demon cultivator who robbed the Xuanyang Sect's elixir store in Liuyang River!

The demon cultivator killed the disciples of Xuanyang Sect and robbed the elixir, but was not caught.

If the other party has a way to change his appearance and body and hide his cultivation level, then it makes sense...

If the three people Li An met before and after were all the demon cultivator, what was the purpose of the other party doing this?

First, he purchased the talismans for making forbidden talismans.

Then he purchased a large number of forbidden-breaking talismans.

The other party couldn't use the forbidden talisman to break the forbidden system he made——

A thought flashed through Li An's mind. Could it be that the Liyang Valley was a trap? The demon cultivator used a large amount of forbidden materials to create the illusion of a secret realm to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

And the real target of this demon cultivator was somewhere else... Could it be the market town?

Li An felt that he might be close to the truth!

His heart suddenly started pounding.

What if the other party really wanted to attack the market town, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous here?

Run away? This was Li An's first thought.

However, he quickly rejected it. If the demon cultivator really targeted the market town, then the periphery of the market town must be full of their spies now. It would be even more dangerous to leave the market town.

Stay in the market town... Immediately notify the foundation-building period master in the market town?

This is also a way. The demon cultivator wants to attack the market town by force, which is a conspiracy. If the market town is well defended in advance, the demon cultivator will most likely not succeed.

But there are risks.

That means Li An will be exposed, and will be noticed by the foundation-building cultivators, and even investigated.

Dilemma.

Li An's heart was completely calm, analyzing the pros and cons.

"The other party took such a roundabout way to buy the forbidden-breaking talisman, which is enough to prove two points: First, the forbidden-breaking talisman is very useful to them, and they must get it. Second, their strength is not that strong, and they need to hide before getting the forbidden-breaking talisman."

Moreover, since the Liuyang River Market incident, the vigilance of major markets has been greatly increased, which may be the reason why the other party did not directly kill people to seize treasures.

"So, to destroy the plan of the demon cultivator... the key is the forbidden-breaking talisman."

Li An's eyes lit up slightly.

Although he couldn't guess how the other party would use the first-level middle-grade forbidden-breaking talisman to deal with the second-level protective formation of the market, but from the information currently inferred, as long as there is a problem with the forbidden-breaking talisman, the other party's plan may be ruined?

In this way, the market will be safe.

He doesn't have to expose himself.

That day, Li An asked Wang Yun to close the store early.

In the evening, he took back all the forbidden talismans!

The next day, the talisman shop opened as usual.

In the morning, another short and strong young man came into the shop and bought thirty forbidden talismans at one time.

He also had the white skull ring on his hand.

Li An pretended to be concentrating on reading a book, sensing the other person's breath.

In the afternoon, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a wide robe came and bought ten forbidden talismans. Not long after, another hunchbacked male cultivator bought forty in one go.

Li An paid attention to everyone who came into the shop to buy talismans, so although these two people had completely different images, Li An still noticed the white rings on their hands.

"The other party has bought 140... The forbidden talismans are almost sold out."

Li An whispered, and the first batch of 200 forbidden talismans he made were almost sold out.

But he immediately made another 100, and raised the price to four yuan per piece, which was double the usual price!

He guessed that the other party would definitely continue to buy. The demon cultivators were big fat sheep, so it would be a waste if they didn't kill them!

Sure enough, several people with different appearances came to the door, in small quantities and multiple times, and almost no one would pay attention.

Very cautious, these demon cultivators are very cautious!

Li An couldn't help but become more serious.

The more this happened, the bigger the other party's plan must be.

"The other party has bought more than 200 tickets. Is the plan almost done?"

That afternoon, Li An was thinking and felt that the danger was getting closer and closer...

"That demon cultivator should be the same person. Although his form has changed, the white ring is always there. Moreover, after I circulated the life seed and became familiar with it for a period of time, I seemed to be able to vaguely distinguish the other party's life breath..."

"The other party has changed many times, but his cultivation level has not exceeded the sixth level of Qi Refining at most."

"The overall cultivation level should be in the late stage of Qi Refining, but not in the foundation building stage."

Li An was a Jindan-level strongman in his previous life. After he locked on the other party, after careful analysis, although he could not completely determine the other party's realm, he could peek out from the fluctuation of spiritual energy. The other party's spiritual energy did not reach the quality of the foundation building stage!

After the foundation building stage, the spiritual energy liquefies, and no matter how thin the breath is, it is different from the Qi Refining stage.

"There is news again. A tragedy occurred in Liyang Valley, with countless deaths and injuries. Someone grabbed the foundation building pill and is still fighting for it!"

Another piece of news came into the market. Li An inquired and found out that the foundation-building pill seemed to have been taken by the cultivators of Xuanyang Sect, but because of this, the disciples of Xuanyang Sect were besieged and the situation was very critical!

"Master Yu, who is in charge of the market, sent three late-stage Qi-refining masters to rescue them!"

At the same time, the news of the rescue also followed closely. After all, the trapped Xuanyang Sect disciples could not be ignored by the market.

Li An couldn't help but frown. Three late-stage Qi-refining masters left... Did Yu Xiong, the foundation-building master who was in charge of the market, fall into the trap?

However, fortunately Yu Xiong himself did not leave, otherwise Li An would have been ready to run away immediately.

Boom!

Just as Li An was thinking, the whole market suddenly shook violently!

It was as if the earth was shaking.

Under attack, the formation lights instantly lit up in all directions of the market, and a huge blue light shield protected the entire market.

"Who dares to disturb the market of Xuanyang Sect? Do you want to die?"

In the market, a powerful aura was released, and Yu Xiong had taken off, fully presiding over the formation.

Yu Xiong was dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a gleam in his eyes. He stood in the formation, suspended above the market, with his hands behind his back, looking in all directions!

"Yu, if you know what's good for you, open the formation for me and hand over all the resources in the market... If you don't know what's good for you, I will chop you into pieces today, make it into sauce, and feed it to the dogs!"

Outside the market, in the sky, a man with black demonic energy all over his body had come flying in the air. He had a horse-faced mask on his face and held a white bone banner.

"Horse-faced Soul-seeking?!"

Yu Xiong was shocked.

Horse-faced Soul-seeking is one of the demon cultivators wanted by Xuanyang Sect in recent years!

The foundation-building demon cultivator has a lot of blood debts on his hands. In just three or four years, two foundation-building families have been wiped out by him. Now the other party dares to attack the Xuanyang Sect market?

"I will only hit you a dozen times. If you start the formation, I will not kill anyone. If you are stubborn... you and everyone in the market will die!"

The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Man said coldly:

"Ten..."

...

"The market was attacked!"

"What's going on? Someone actually dared to attack the market?!"

"It's a demon cultivator, it's a demon cultivator, the demon cultivator has arrived outside the market!"

"The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Man, it's the Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Man who is coming!"

The street was in chaos, and everyone was panicked and ran around.

"Close the store!"

Li An spoke immediately.

However, just as Wang Yun stepped forward to close the door, a middle-aged man had already walked in, pushed Wang Yun away, smiled coldly, and said:

"Such a profitable business, closing so early? Don't you think it's a pity?"

...
