Chapter 235 Three-Person Night Talk, Crisis Looming (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter!)
"Let's go, we'll enter Gui Ling, and first settle Golden Abundance Pavilion down."
Wang Yu had Green Ram stay behind to take Jin Miaoshan and the others to the pre-arranged location, also… the old location, next door to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
He himself returned directly to the Guiling City Lord's Mansion, heavy hearted.
Because he discovered that the Peak Core Formation Cultivator he was now facing was on a whole different level.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator's eldest disciple… a Peak Core Formation existence!
Facing such an opponent, he had almost no power to resist; using Jin Miaoshan as a threat was only a temporary expedient, and fundamentally there was no way to contend with him.
——Something's terribly wrong!
And what about next? In the Moonchasing Province Competition, Gui Ling was bound to become the external window for the new Nine Cities' City Lord, how many scouts and experts would appear here?
If Yellow Springs Temple didn't follow the rules and sent someone to watch the show, it wasn't impossible.
No! It should be said the possibility was extremely high; he had only just offended Earth Treasury True Person, and this series of derived events had a Karma he couldn't shirk.
"Time to bail…"
For some reason, Wang Yu suddenly had this thought emerge. The turnover of experts in the Gui Ling area wasn't fast, but there were just too many powerful people; it was truly Unable to Withstand.
But he couldn't abandon Guiling City either.
Three hundred years of sovereignty, and not even fifty years had been fulfilled, it was still in a stage of lasting development, and the City's potential hadn't been fully realized, how could he possibly abandon such a large sum of Resource.
Thinking it over, Wang Yu suddenly had an idea.
According to the Contract with the Reverse Spirit Third Master, he no longer needed the quota for the Profound Heaven Secret Realm; perhaps he could exchange it for them to sit in Guiling City for twenty years on his behalf.
The storm that Wang Yu couldn't withstand, they could.
Retreating behind the scenes for twenty years, and taking the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest to search for the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins, and perfect the Divine Sense Inheritance, wouldn't be a bad plan.
"Take a step back, and the sea and sky will broaden!"
It was decided.
And so, Wang Yu holed up in the City Lord's Mansion, refusing all social engagements, and dispatched a messenger to urgently Return to the Mountain Gate, seeking help from Zhuo Shouqing.
Relationships had to be used when available, otherwise when it was his turn to pay the price, everything would be too late; according to the distance between the two places, a round trip would take at least six months.
He prepared to stay within the Formation's protection, and not go out!
...
...
Wang Yu's Stewardship Career, Year 36, October.
New Gui Ling Golden Abundance Branch Pavilion.
"Miss, City Lord Wang is still unwilling to accept your invitation."
Brand new décor, the latest Third Rank Upper Grade pavilion-type Magic Treasure, the environment on the top floor here could be described as extremely beautiful, and it also offered a panoramic view of the entire City.
At this moment, Jin Miaoshan's slender legs were crossed, swaying her legs rhythmically.
Listening to the Dao Protector's report, her face was full of helplessness.
"Old Luo, what do you say is wrong with this person? Could he be intimidated by Lou Gao?"
"This old one thinks not; it's said that the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect has several distinguished guests, and City Lord Wang has been hosting them recently."
"Distinguished guests? Can they be more honorable than this Miss? You go tell him that there's news of the Ice Attribute High Grade Core Formation Spirit Item, at most a few years, and it will surely be obtained, let him exchange it for the Myriad-Year Tree Heart."
"Yes——"
Old Man Luo nodded in agreement; to be honest, he didn't want to become a part of some kind of amusement between the two of them, the frequency of delivering messages every few days was truly psychologically tiring.
They were so close, wouldn't it be better to use a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman?
Yet they insisted on him, with his old bones and limbs, delivering messages, it was simply inexplicable.
"By the way."
Just as he turned to leave, Old Man Luo said.
"Two people have arrived, one surnamed Zhuo, and one surnamed Zuoqiu, neither are young, but their Identities seem to be very high."
"It's them."
Jin Miaoshan narrowed her eyes, and quickly said.
"No need to go, I can probably guess what Wang Yu is planning, wait for him to Return and then inform him about the Core Formation Spirit Object."
Old Man Luo: "...Alright!!"
...
At the same time.
Inside the Guiling City Lord's Mansion, except for Yu Xing who hadn't come, Wang Yu's dear brother Zhuo Shouqing, and Zuoqiu Ming who had given his full support, had both arrived.
Among the Reverse Spirit Three Young Masters.
Yu Xing was actually the eldest, Zhuo Shouqing the second, and Zuoqiu Ming the third; they were ranked by age, when they first met Wang Yu, they were already over a hundred years old.
Now so many years had passed, even if calculated according to the three hundred years lifespan of Foundation Establishment, they had already entered middle age, their Cultivation Levels had indeed progressed quite a bit.
At least they had crossed into the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, roughly at the fourth level.
But according to their current speed, if they wanted to touch the Threshold of Core Formation, they would have to pull out all the Resources, give up all eating, drinking, and playing, and Cultivate desperately to achieve it.
The two of them arrived later than Wang Yu had expected, but it was understandable, after all, Zhuo Shouqing was also secretly scheming something, it was impossible for him to come whenever he was summoned.
At this moment.
A banquet was laid out, in the huge Palace, only the three of them were drinking freely, all the Maidservants and guards had withdrawn, only Xue Yu remained on the Profound Ice Bed not far away, Cultivating.
The big fox had been very diligent recently, probably because she felt her own powerlessness, making it difficult to help Wang Yu share the pressure, so she had become more mature, which was a good thing.
"Fourth brother ah, Brother Ming will definitely help you with this matter, the Moonchasing Province Competition is Too Dangerous, in the next twenty years, there will be Not Few Peak Core Formation Cultivators."
Without needing to think, the one speaking like this was definitely Zuoqiu Ming, he was the one who most affectionately called him fourth brother, Wang Yu nodded repeatedly.
"That's what I'm thinking, borrowing prestige is not true power after all, there are a bit Too Many strong individuals in the Gui Ling area, it's not suitable for my current Stage."
Zhuo Shouqing, however, frowned and remained silent, after gulping down several cups of wine in quick succession, he then opened his mouth to speak.
"Wang Yu, there's one thing I must tell you."
"Speak freely."
"Back then, when you were searching for Secret Methods to enhance Aptitude, you should have also researched the Blood Spring Evil Art."
"That's right."
Wang Yu didn't hesitate, but a slight ominous premonition arose in his heart, and Zhuo Shouqing's next words, sure enough, verified this premonition.
"In the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, Only Blood Dao Inheritance can Inherit the Sect's Orthodoxy, it is also the most powerful Inheritance among the Nine Peaks and Ten Daos, with the greatest probability of Breakthrough to Spirit Transformation.
"Much stronger than the
"And we, these direct lineage second generations with extraordinary Origins, often have those with ordinary Aptitude, at this time, the Blood Spring Evil Art is a Technique for us to alter our destiny.
"Yu Xing and Zuoqiu Ming, back then because they were too young, had slight empathy for those 'consumables', which ultimately led to them falling short of success at the last step, and consequently, their own Three Spirit Roots Aptitude was also affected, making it Lifelong difficulty in achieving Core Formation.
"But I am different, I was secretly harmed by a member of the same clan, which led to today's Result."
Zhuo Shouqing said, his expression wistful, unable to conceal the look of hatred.
This matter, Wang Yu heard about for the first time, but he had also made some guesses in his heart; Zhuo Shouqing's account was slightly different from what he had thought, but it was more or less correct.
"After the incident, my parents came up with a way to save me."
"Hmm?"
Before Wang Yu could react, Zuoqiu Ming suddenly uttered a questioning "hmm", why hadn't he heard Second Brother mention this before?
Zhuo Shouqing smiled bitterly.
"Third Brother, your failures were your own doing, I was harmed.
"Although both damaged the foundation, I still have an Opportunity to remedy it; the Blood Spirit Root has after all taken shape, but it's only one-ninth complete, comparable to Four Spirit Roots Aptitude."
Zuoqiu Ming, hearing this, wanted to speak but stopped, he originally wanted to curse him a few times, but in the end, he held back.
In his heart, he was indignant, what did he mean by 'your own doing'? He was untainted by mud.
Of course, if he were given another Opportunity now.
He would definitely grab his six-year-old self and give him a slap; wasn't it just over a hundred children of the same age and Birth Chart? The current him, could definitely harden his heart!
Zhuo Shouqing continued to say.
"In the Blood Spring Evil Art, there is a Secret Technique of mutual devouring, if I can devour the guy who underwent Nirvana Cocooning at the same time as me on that day, then I can complete my incomplete Blood Spirit Root."
These Conditions were very similar to the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation, but in reality, there were more Limitations, and there were also Heavenly Timing requirements.
"And that person, I've found him.
"He is precisely the true culprit who harmed me! But his Bloodline is comparable to mine, my parents, although angry, could only endure it; Grandfather instructed us to compete for our own destinies, to decide who is superior, and also to determine life and death!"
Now that things had been said to this point, there was no need to say more, Wang Yu had guessed his Intent.
Zuoqiu Ming, however, was angry, and said incredulously.
"Zhuo Shouqing, oh Zhuo Shouqing, you're really good at hiding things! Why didn't you tell me about this? I could help…"
Halfway through his words, he froze again.
Zhuo Shouqing said coldly.
"Have you thought about it? You can't help me, if you make a move, it involves the Zuo Qiu Clan, the other side won't just sit idly by and wait for death, and Yu Xing is also unaware of this matter."
Having heard the whole story, Wang Yu nodded.
"I can help you."
"Of course! You are someone Zhuo personally scouted out, naturally you are my man, including the Deathsworn I've trained over these years, are all meant to devour that guy.
"My time is running out, I must devour his Blood Spirit Root before the age of two hundred and thirty, otherwise, I won't have enough time left to achieve Core Formation.
"Therefore, regarding the affairs of Guiling City, I can't help you."
"Understood, what about you, Brother Ming?"
Wang Yu turned his head to look at Zuoqiu Ming, this fellow who was always flamboyant and liked to show off, at this very moment, was unusually quiet.
Head bowed, silently turning his wine cup in his hand, unsure what he was thinking.
This night talk was tending towards an abrupt end.
Zhuo Shouqing stood up, sighing.
"I can't stay away from the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect for too long, otherwise, that guy will resort to Moves Outside the Board, especially since he came to Gui Ling last time, his reaction will be especially swift this time."
"Wait——"
Wang Yu suddenly spoke, asking.
"What is that person's Strength? Does he have any capable Subordinates under him?"
Zhuo Shouqing turned his head back, and said meaningfully.
"Zhuo Shouyun is the same age as me, with Mid-Core Formation Stage Cultivation Level, you won't recognize his Subordinates, but they are all very powerful, but… there's one among them, you'll definitely remember."
"Who?" Wang Yu pressed further.
"——Fu Xiao!"
With that, Zhuo Shouqing pushed open the door and departed, without the slightest hesitation.
By the round table, Wang Yu's fists clenched involuntarily.
This second brother, seemed to be using some methods to completely bind him to his war chariot, he didn't even trust the Nether River Pact? Innumerable thoughts surged in his heart.
The sense of Crisis that arose in him at this moment was indeed too strong.
Fu Xiao was an enemy he was destined to face after practicing the Demonic Embryo Secret Spell.
Zhuo Shouqing's decision to tell him now must be to act before Fu Xiao achieves Nascent Soul Formation, the Nether River Pact was now secondary, he needed to accelerate his own strengthening.
This would then require some Fortuitous Encounters to aid him.
He had employed both conventional and unconventional methods to speed up his Cultivation, but it still felt too slow.
"Wang Yu, I've decided."
"Hmm?"
