324: One-armed Yunling, Su Daoyou Dayi (three-in-one plus extra updates for re＊＊＊＊＊ guys’ rewards)
In Hongfeng City, as a golden light streaked past, Lin Shiyi opened his eyes.
Lin Shiming had already explained things to them, so Lin Shiyi had gathered all the true Lin Family members. The remaining miners were mostly Loose Cultivators arranged by the Lin Family to mine, and also some of the Lin Family's retainers!
Lin Shiyi took the lead, and then a dozen Lin Family members around him also sprang up, directly summoning their war treasure ship and flying towards the outskirts of Hongfeng City!
The Treasure Ship initially only transformed into the appearance of a High Grade Tier 3 spirit boat, so as it passed by the city wall, a loud shout was heard!
"Lin Shiyi, how dare you flee without authorization?"
Zhang Haoling and Zhang Haogang were already guarding the city gate, and they instantly flew up, their long swords poised to strike down the Lin Family's spirit boat.
They had such confidence; in fact, in their view, even if Lin Shiming were present, they could still wipe out the Lin Family!
It was just that under the previous situation in Yunzhou, the Lin Family and the Qingxuan Sect had a very deep relationship!
But if the Lin Family fled without authorization, it would be very easy to convict them!
"Scram!" Lin Shiyi roared, activating all his true essence. At the same time, countless Spirit Stones poured into the spiritual trough, and the Tier 4 Treasure Ship immediately displayed its full power!
The entire body of Spirit Light transformed into a Heaven-Slaying Sword, extending thirty to forty zhang long, even larger than the city gate, and instantly pressed down on Zhang Haoling and Zhang Haogang!
The two's expressions changed drastically. They had never heard that the Lin Family possessed a war treasure ship, and they retreated repeatedly!
However, the Sword Light was too massive. Even though the two reacted quickly and took out their Magical Artifacts, they were directly struck down!
The two continuously coughed up fresh blood, yet they were still unwilling to give up. They also took out their war treasure ship, summoned it into their hands, and prepared to pursue Lin Shiyi, even if he ran a hundred thousand li away!
However, they only saw a streak of light rapidly approaching from a distance.
"Haoling, Haogang, prepare yourselves, return to Yunzhou!" Yunling Daoist's words arrived.
Zhang Haoling and Zhang Haogang's hearts settled.
But in the next moment, the two were dumbfounded. They saw that Yunling Daoist in front of them had already had an arm severed, his body covered in blood. What was even more terrifying was that Yunling Daoist's eyes were still bleeding!
"Second Uncle!" The two were extremely astonished!
"Go! Take the Spiritual Veins, take the Spirit Stones and spiritual mines!" Yunling Daoist continued.
And at his beckoning, the war treasure ship expanded to its maximum size, and a Formation completely enveloped Hongfeng City!
"All Cultivators, gather! You must follow unconditionally!" Yunling Daoist's voice transformed into a Dao sound, echoing throughout the entire city and the entire world!
At this moment, he hated the Lin Family to death. That Lin Shiming not only concealed his Foundation Establishment Realm as a Purple Mansion Cultivator, but he also attacked the offspring of the Blood Fox Demon King. That Tier 4 Fox Demon even lumped him together with Lin Shiming.
That powerful illusion technique, that powerful claw, even if he used all his means, he couldn't stop it!
The gap between Early Violet Palace Stage and Purple Mansion Late Stage was simply too great!
Especially, his Divine Soul was simply no match for that demon fox!
"Haoling, Haogang, you must speed up. You must depart within three-quarters of an hour!" Yunling Daoist again transmitted his voice to Zhang Haoling and Zhang Haogang!
Lin Shiming had ambushed the fox girl. Regardless of success or failure, it could shake the Qingyun Mountain Range, especially since it was a sensitive period!
The possibility of a beast tide was definitely above eighty percent!
Moreover, he had to return to Qingyun Market as soon as possible!
Lin Shiming's hidden methods were too terrifying. He wasn't confident that Lin Shiming would definitely die. Whoever traded with the Yao Race, naturally, the slower one returned, the more difficult it would be to explain!
The war treasure ship quickly began to move towards the Void Realm!
...On the other side, Lin Shiming's figure was also constantly moving.
Peach blossoms fell along the way, his figure incredibly light within the illusion array.
It was a pity Lin Shiming couldn't refine the fox girl's boots. Otherwise, with that Magic Treasure, Lin Shiming could run even faster!
His greatest reliance was the five-colored silkworm coffin!
But he had no confidence whether the five-colored silkworm coffin could evade a Golden Core Demon King. He had to quickly rendezvous with Lin Shiyi, pilot the war treasure ship, and escape the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Only by getting out of the mountain range and finding a place to hide would he be safe!
Otherwise, with a Golden Core Demon King wantonly searching, he would eventually be found!
His Divine Sense was tightly fixed behind him, and he could already sense the figure of the Tier 4 Late Stage demon fox. Even though he used the Poison Flood Dragon Vine's poison to temporarily delay her, he felt that other Purple Mansion Great Demons were already pursuing him!
His Poison Flood Dragon Vine's poison was not just the Poison Flood Dragon Vine's poison; he also made Wang Jiao spray two fierce mouthfuls!
It wouldn't be fatal, but it would definitely be very troublesome!
If she didn't want that Demon King's descendant to die, she had to stop the poison and heal her!
"Seventh Brother!"
And just then, a war treasure ship sped over from a distance!
Lin Shiyi sat at the very front of the spirit boat, his eyes resolute, his entire true essence pushed to the extreme!
Coming towards him!
Lin Shiyi was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and he was also a Body Cultivator, so his true essence reserves were far inferior to a Spell Cultivator!
To reach this speed, he was already exerting his utmost effort!
Lin Shiming couldn't help but smile, his heart settling. This was Family!
He put away the peach blossom river scenery painting, took a big step forward, and leaped onto the war treasure ship!
On the Treasure Ship, there was also the Golden Winged Mantis that had previously transmitted the message. The range of the sound transmission talisman couldn't directly reach Hongfeng City from that trading valley, so it relied on the Golden Winged Mantis flying with its eight wings to deliver the letter to Lin Shiyi's hands!
"Seventh Brother, you've reached Purple Mansion!" Lin Shiyi spoke with some disbelief.
He even rubbed his eyes twice. After not seeing him for over ten years, going from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage to Early Violet Palace Stage, this leap was even more terrifying than a Heavenly Spiritual Root!
One must know that Lin Shiming had previously broken through to Late Foundation Establishment Stage by using the Three Pure Qi Concealment Art to hide his cultivation, which they were unaware of!
The other Lin Family Cultivators all opened their mouths wide, surprised and then ecstatic!
In Hongfeng City, they were constantly on edge, and even after rushing out of Hongfeng City, they were still worried!
But now that Lin Shiming appeared with the Purple Mansion identity, it meant that the Lin Family was already a Purple Mansion Family, and they were also Cultivators of a Purple Mansion Family!
The Lin Family had finally fulfilled its centuries-old wish and returned to being a Purple Mansion Family!
"Mm, be careful not to spread it!" Lin Shiming nodded, then took out a High-Grade Spirit Stone for Lin Shiyi to recover his cultivation!
And he sat at the very front of the war treasure ship!
With the surge of true essence, the war treasure ship also burst forth with Spirit Light. That dense light immediately stirred up a storm, rushing out with an unknown increase in speed!
Only a green rainbow was left in the Void Realm before it disappeared!
Operating the Treasure Ship in this manner could maximize speed, but at the same time, it would cause damage to the Treasure Ship!
Feeling the Yao Beast's Aura behind him weaken slightly, Lin Shiming finally let out a sigh of relief.
The war treasure ship, operating at full power regardless of damage, was definitely not inferior to a Tier 4 Middle Stage flying Yao Beast.
Although the Azure Cloud Fox Clan was powerful, they absolutely could not arrange so many pursuing Great Demons in a short time, unless they used a Golden Core Demon King.
"Seventh Brother, when I left Qingyun Market, Yunling Daoist lost an arm!" Lin Shiyi hesitated repeatedly before speaking!
"Really?" Lin Shiming was also somewhat pleasantly surprised!
He hadn't expected that the Tier 4 Late Stage demon fox would actually attack Yunling Daoist!
"Go, catch up!" Lin Shiming's eyes lit up!
One must know that Yunling Daoist still had a purple profound treasure jade and seven Red Lotus Fruits in his possession. If so many Red Lotus Fruits could all be refined into Red Lotus Pills, they could support his Cultivation until the Mid Purple Mansion Realm!
The war treasure ship's speed surged again!
With Yunling Daoist injured, he couldn't possibly pilot a spirit boat, so their chances of catching up were extremely high!
Lin Shiming's mind raced with many thoughts at once!
Even if this wasn't the best time to annihilate the Zhang Family, he had to do it!
Not just for these spiritual fruits and spiritual materials, but also for the future of the Lin Family!
Otherwise, once his Purple Mansion identity was exposed, he would have to face questioning from True Person Zixuan!
When he entered the Dao with the Heartless Sword, at that time, he wouldn't believe that True Person Zixuan would remember the Lin Family's old sentiments!
He continuously cast spiritual arts, countless true essence surged into the war treasure ship. When more than half of his true essence was consumed, he even swallowed a drop of thousand-year spiritual milk, driving the Treasure Ship at full power!
Finally, three hours later, within the range of his Divine Sense, a war treasure ship appeared!
It was precisely the Zhang Family's war treasure ship!
The one controlling it was Zhang Haoling!
That war treasure ship was also being driven at full power. Seeing Lin Shiming piloting his Treasure Ship towards them, Zhang Haoling and Zhang Haogang's mouths opened wide!
They couldn't believe that a Cultivator inferior to them could, at a certain moment, suddenly return with the lofty identity of a Daoist!
In their past fantasies, it should have been the other way around!
"What are you staring at? I'll pilot the spirit boat!" Yunling Daoist stepped out, also landing at the bow of the war treasure ship!
"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there a Tier 4 Great Demon pursuing you from behind? We are all Human Race from Yunzhou, so perhaps we should resist the demons together!" Yunling Daoist continued to transmit his voice to Lin Shiming!
At the same time, true essence continuously surged from his hands. He was holding a flame crystal!
As a product of a Tier 4 pure fire-attribute Spiritual Vein, flame crystal was naturally more suitable for fire-attribute Cultivators than High-Grade Spirit Stones!
For a moment, the distance was fixed!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, well said!"
"However, Fellow Daoist, wait for me a moment. We'll advance side by side and defend from both sides!" Lin Shiming also said.
While speaking, his Divine Sense savagely rushed towards the opponent's war treasure ship!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you seem unwell. Let me help you see if there are any Medicinal Pills suitable for you!"
Boom!
The war treasure ship was, after all, just a Treasure Ship. Its defensive capabilities could match a Purple Mansion Cultivator, but it couldn't defend against a Purple Mansion Divine Sense!
That terrifying Divine Sense pressed down on Yunling Daoist.
But soon, a white Spirit Stone necklace appeared around Yunling Daoist's neck!
It blocked Lin Shiming's Divine Sense probing!
At the same time, he cursed inwardly, having never seen anyone so shameless!
He openly used Divine Sense to probe him without any concealment, which in the Cultivation world was tantamount to a provocation before a life-and-death battle!
Yet, he spoke of righteousness with every word!
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this inappropriate!"
"What's inappropriate? We Yunzhou Cultivators should naturally work together. Two spirit boats consume too much Spiritual Qi. It's better if we pilot one boat together, which will definitely give us more confidence to overcome this calamity. There are simply too many Purple Mansion Great Demons behind us!" Lin Shiming spoke again, and the war treasure ship's speed increased once more!
"Lin Shiming, don't go too far! I've already arranged for Cultivators to transmit a message back to Qingyun Market!" Yunling Daoist could no longer hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he cursed!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, that's simply too petty!" Lin Shiming shouted again.
He naturally wouldn't believe Yunling Daoist's words. Others without a war treasure ship would ultimately be submerged by the Yao Beast tide!
And his Divine Sense was also within visual range!
Within his Purple Mansion, the Yuan Magnetic Seal and Leaping Void Disc had already been infused with a large amount of True Essence!
flame crystal was, after all, not thousand-year spiritual milk. Free Spirit Yunling's True Essence was consumed extremely quickly, and he also had to divide his mind to suppress his injuries and refine the violent True Essence within the flame crystal!
In an instant, the distance closed to about ten li!
The two Magic Treasure Flying Swords also no longer hesitated, flying directly towards the war treasure ship ahead!
Both Flying Swords were merely a single strike of Sky Severing!
Carrying a rich Sword Grass Sword Intent!
Boom!
The two swords struck the spirit shield of the war treasure ship, and immediately the spirit shield transformed into countless Spirit Lights, slowly beginning to shatter!
And a new spirit shield was also slowly activating!
Free Spirit Yunling did not dare to consume his True Essence; instead, he let the Formation of the war treasure ship bear the brunt of the attack!
With the attack distance being far, Lin Shiming would not be able to sink the war treasure ship with one blow!
As long as he could escape back to Yunzhou, Lin Shiming at least couldn't silence him!
As for the Spirit Stones, they were desperately released into the spirit troughs, and the Cultivators urging them were all Cultivators from other Families.
These Cultivators were at the front, while the Zhang Family members were responsible for supervision. If anyone slowed down their True Essence input, they would be immediately executed!
This also greatly reduced Free Spirit Yunling's consumption!
On the other hand, Lin Shiming could only rely on Spirit Puppets for assistance. At this moment, he had already begun to inject High-Grade Spirit Stones, starting to provide spiritual power!
Lin Shiming's expression also slightly darkened. In his mind, his Divine Sense had transformed into nine small Soul Splitting Blades!
He had recently discovered these Soul Splitting Blades. They were useless against Purple Mansion Cultivators, but this time, he wasn't using them against Purple Mansion Cultivators!
Free Spirit Yunling had Divine Sense defensive Magic Treasures, but those Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn't possibly have them!
With one Divine Sense attack from Lin Shiming, almost all nine people collapsed!
Their input of True Essence and Spirit Stones was greatly affected!
Free Spirit Yunling's expression immediately changed drastically. He frantically ordered the Zhang Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators to take over, while simultaneously, with his remaining single arm, he began to activate his Magic Treasure, which also flew towards Lin Shiming's side!
However, Lin Shiming was already prepared. His Three-Elemental Flying Sky Blade Magic Treasure transformed into three flying blades, blocking Free Spirit Yunling's attack!
And the speed closed by more than half, from a ten li gap to a five li gap!
The Spirit Art in Lin Shiming's hand changed again!
A Yuan Magnetic Seal flew out, directly landing on the head of Free Spirit Yunling's treasure ship.
The huge golden light restraint once again greatly reduced the speed of the Zhang Family's treasure ship, making its speed even slower than a High Grade third-tier spirit boat!
Free Spirit Yunling looked indignant. He took out a Qiankun Ring Magic Treasure from his hand and struck it towards the Yuan Magnetic Seal!
That Qiankun Ring Magic Treasure was clearly no ordinary item. It knocked Lin Shiming's Yuan Magnetic Seal back half an inch, ultimately missing!
But Lin Shiming was now close. The three Magic Treasures in his hand continued to attack Free Spirit Yunling!
Meanwhile, Wang Jiao, Golden Wings Hongmao, and Lin Shiyi finally engaged Zhang Haoling and the others!
“Flood Dragon!” The expressions of the Zhang Family Cultivators grew even uglier. Zhang Haogang even screamed, as if possessed. Lin Shiming's Breakthrough to Purple Mansion was already unreasonable, and now there was also a Poison Flood Dragon Spirit Beast. Given time, it would definitely achieve a Breakthrough to Purple Mansion!
It was even highly possible for it to achieve a Breakthrough to Golden Core!
Free Spirit Yunling's expression beside him also changed drastically. With the Poison Flood Dragon present, Zhang Haoling and the others were definitely no match. There was no way that with their large number of Zhang Family Cultivators, they could spare manpower to steer the treasure boat and rescue him!
“Fellow Daoist Lin, let’s talk this over. I, Zhang, can also make an oath of the heavenly dao. For the rest of my life, I will only refine Magic Treasures for the Lin Family!” Free Spirit Yunling said.
However, Lin Shiming completely ignored him!
Free Spirit Yunling, with a grim expression, suddenly took out a red spirit flag. The red spirit flag in the air immediately transformed into a fiery red giant banner.
In the blink of an eye, it emitted terrifying fluctuations of a fourth-tier Medium Grade Magical Artifact!
“Lifebound Treasure!” Lin Shiming also frowned slightly, feeling some apprehension!
For a Cultivator's Lifebound Treasure, there was no absolute rank. As long as it was nurtured in the Purple Mansion for long enough, even a fourth-tier Medium Grade Magical Artifact could rival a fourth-tier High Grade Magical Artifact!
As expected, with the appearance of the Lifebound Treasure, the Skyfire Banner, Free Spirit Yunling's Aura surged dramatically!
Terrifying skyfire erupted, and a fiery red griffon flew out from within!
It was precisely the Divine Soul of the griffon he had killed earlier. Clearly, it had now been refined into the Magic Treasure by Free Spirit Yunling, greatly increasing the power of this Magic Treasure!
Lin Shiming held his sword with both hands, and the Sword Intent around him was released. One Sword Grass seed after another, at some unknown point, had already germinated for a long time!
Upon release, they all transformed into Sword Grass!
A full hundred Sword Grasses with Sword Qi Coagulation. In an instant, the heavens trembled!
The Void Realm constantly changed!
And Lin Shiming finally struck!
The Skyfire Banner and the Hundred Swords Tribulation immediately clashed!
Azure sword light, crimson fire light!
Immediately, each spread across half the sky, one azure and one red, then transformed into a tide, scattering and rushing outwards!
And at the point of intersection, space seemed unable to bear it, and faint Void Realm undercurrents were born within it!
At this moment, Free Spirit Yunling threw out hundreds of fire cloud crystals into the Skyfire Banner. The fire banner once again emitted a fiery red Spirit Light, burning towards Lin Shiming!
At this moment, Lin Shiming's old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet emerged. Even his Sword Intent could not condense so quickly!
The expression on Lin Shiming's face made Free Spirit Yunling extremely satisfied!
Just a Breakthrough to Purple Mansion is just a Breakthrough to Purple Mansion. Without a Lifebound Treasure, how could he contend with him?
The firelight enveloped him!
Lin Shiming's Aura also gradually disappeared!
Also swept away was the Lin Family's war treasure ship, with countless Spirit Puppets shattering.
“Not good!” The next moment, Free Spirit Yunling suddenly thought to himself!
His body also moved very awkwardly, flashing to the side!
He saw a hand appear from nowhere, grabbing towards him!
This greatly alarmed Free Spirit Yunling. He didn't know how Lin Shiming had arrived, and at this moment, that rich blood Qi, and fierce Aura!
This was clearly a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator!
A Purple Mansion Sword Cultivator, plus a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator, Free Spirit Yunling was filled with grief and indignation!
At the same time, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
He had schemed for most of his life, and this was the first time he had seen a Cultivator whose Body Cultivation and Sword Cultivation had both reached an extremely terrifying Realm!
Being close meant Free Spirit Yunling's death. He was already one-armed, and most of his True Essence had been consumed by the Fire Cloud Banner, leaving him utterly unable to resist.
He died tragically on the spot!
And then, Lin Shiming, inside the war treasure ship, struck another sword, transforming one sword into a hundred from the inside, killing Zhang Haoling, Zhang Haogang, and all the others!
At this moment, he had no thoughts of training Lin Shiyi or training Wang Jiao!
Because at this moment, he could already sense that countless Purple Mansion Great Demons were gathering from ten thousand li away!
Lin Shiming put away the Zhang Family's war treasure ship and Storage Pouch, and also took out the Yuan Magnetic Seal, once again bombarding the battle scene!
The mountains and forests, which had already spread for an unknown distance due to the battle, were once again smashed by the Yuan Magnetic Seal. Immediately, the Yuan Magnetic light destroyed all traces!
And Lin Shiming, leading the remaining Lin Family members, steered the Lin Family's war treasure ship, continuing towards Qingyun Market!
When they reached a point where the Purple Mansion Cultivators of Qingyun Market could sense them with their Divine Sense, Lin Shiming put away the treasure ship and took out the peach blossom river scenery painting!
Then he summoned the five-colored silkworm coffin!
Subsequently, all the Cultivators hid inside the spirit coffin. They stealthily traveled through the Void Realm, and finally, even went a thousand li deep underground before stopping!
...At this time, in a secret underground room in Qingyun Market, five Purple Mansion Cultivators sat around an Eight Immortals table, quietly waiting.
The one at the head was wearing the robes of a Zhao Family Cultivator!
His index and middle fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and his face grew increasingly impatient!
“Fellow Daoist Xun, didn't you say that you had negotiated with the Zhengyang Alliance, and that Fellow Daoist Su, who can set up Teleportation Arrays, would come?”
“Let's wait a bit longer. Fellow Daoist Su might have been delayed. After all, their Family only has one Purple Mansion left!” A Cultivator with a heavy sword on his back, though also looking grim, still forced himself to speak!
For these Purple Mansion Cultivators, as existences tasked with probing the Qingxuan Sect, there was only one way to determine if the probe would be successful!
Continue to steal the descendants of the Demon Kings, just as the Heavenly Demon Sect did before!
However, now the four great Sects—Heavenly Demon Sect, Corpse Refinement Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Zhengyang Alliance—were unwilling to send out Golden Core Cultivators again. Otherwise, if Immortal Master Divine Machine had not entered seclusion, or had not achieved a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul...
Then it would mean sacrificing the lives of Golden Core Cultivators!
Each Sect had only a few Golden Core Immortal Masters, so how could they send out more Golden Core Immortal Masters!
And the only way Purple Mansion Cultivators could trigger a beast tide was by using a Teleportation Array to kill the descendants of Demon Kings!
After killing them, they would teleport back!
Otherwise, they would just be going to their deaths, and they couldn't possibly provoke the Demon Kings of the Qingyun Mountain Range to test the Qingxuan Sect!
As the few thought of this, they once again relaxed.
Another Cultivator even began to suggest: “Fellow Daoists, why don't we have an exchange meeting? It's not easy for Purple Mansion Cultivators like us to gather.”
After speaking, he gave a fawning smile!
The others also nodded repeatedly. For people like them, it was more than just not easy to gather; both the righteous and demonic paths were present!
If it weren't for their apprehension that the Qingxuan Sect might truly obtain the Dao Fruit and become the number one person in the Eastern Region!
How could they possibly sit together peacefully without fighting to the death? It would seem abnormal!
The five immediately closed their eyes slightly, thinking about what treasures they should exchange!
However, the next moment, all five opened their eyes simultaneously, releasing their Divine Sense into the distance.
Among them, the Cultivator surnamed Zhao looked at the Cultivator surnamed Xun, then asked in confusion:
“Has Fellow Daoist Su already teleported over and triggered the beast tide alone?”
The others also felt the intensity of the beast tide. They had already seen at least ten Purple Mansion Great Demons rushing over!
This was just the first wave; Demon Kings would definitely appear later!
“Fellow Daoist Su is truly righteous!” The Cultivator surnamed Xun immediately stroked his beard and said with a smile!
Being able to trigger a beast tide must mean acting against the descendants of Demon Kings or killing important Purple Mansion Great Demons!
Such an action, in Yunzhou, only the Cultivator surnamed Su could undertake!
The others also had a sudden realization. No wonder Fellow Daoist Su was late!
This was clearly a sign of not trusting them, fearing that they had spies, and privately triggering the beast tide alone!
Although this distrust was somewhat unpleasant, when the five thought that they wouldn't need to enter the Qingyun Mountain Range, they felt much more at ease!
