Cultivation: I have an inventory

The undercurrent in Liyang Immortal City continued for more than half a year. The ‘Avengers’ had begun to secretly sow discord among the major forces in the city, ambushing the Liyang Guards and the City Lord’s Mansion…

Finally, all the storms came to a climax.

Wei Wufeng, the former young master of the Jindan family and the current head of the Dandao League in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World, formally challenged Liyang Immortal!

It was agreed that a duel would be held in half a month.

Of course, this kind of challenge can be rejected and ignored.

If it was the former Liyang Immortal who did this, no one in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World would say anything.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, although Wei Wufeng is the head of the Dandao League, his identity is very extraordinary. Even the two Yuanying sects in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World dare not easily touch him, and have to give him some face.

But in terms of cultivation, strength, and record, there is a huge gap between Wei Wufeng and Liyang Immortal, and it can even be said that there is a world of difference.

No one would think that Wei Wufeng is Liyang Immortal’s opponent, and no one would think that he is really qualified to challenge Liyang Immortal.

It was natural that Li Yang Zhenren ignored him and was too lazy to accept the challenge.

But the situation was different now. Li Yang Zhenren was seriously injured and his fighting ability was a mystery. It was rumored that he no longer had the strength of the late Jindan stage and might not be Wei Wufeng's opponent.

If he did not accept the challenge at this time, it would be equivalent to confirming the rumors that he was indeed not as strong as before.

People would not think that he was disdainful of fighting Wei Wufeng, but would only think that he was guilty and afraid of showing weakness.

In this way, the turmoil in Li Yang Xiancheng would inevitably be worse. Li Yang Zhenren's enemies and the people behind the scenes who coveted the huge fat piece of Xiancheng would inevitably use more intense means and would most likely directly launch a formal attack!

When Wei Wufeng's letter of challenge was sent to Li Yang Xiancheng, almost all the cultivators in the city, from Jindan Zhenren to Qi Lian San Xiu, were discussing and speculating whether Li Yang Zhenren would accept the challenge.

In the end.

Li Yang Zhenren did not disappoint. On the same day, the news came from the City Lord's Mansion that he accepted Wei Wufeng's challenge.

...

"Master, are we going to watch the battle in half a month?" Lin Zixi asked excitedly.

Wei Wufeng challenged Li Yang Zhenren publicly. The two of them would not hide their fighting skills and allowed everyone to watch.

In this battle, Wei Wufeng's purpose was to test the strength of Li Yang Zhenren and see how much strength he still had.

He was not sure of winning.

If he won directly, it would be better. I'm afraid he would take revenge on the spot, and then the avengers behind him would directly swallow up Li Yang Xiancheng.

As for losing, it didn't matter. He was sure that he could destroy the "golden body" of Li Yang Zhenren, the first casual cultivator in Dayu Xiuxian World, expose his powerful appearance, and expose his weak side in front of everyone.

As long as it was detected that the current Li Yang Zhenren was just a facade, many things would be much easier to deal with next.

"Want to go see it?" Xiao Changqing glanced at Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi nodded quickly, grinning, not hiding his desire to join in the fun.

This was a battle of sparring at the Jindan level, and they were not ordinary Jindan real people.

One was the first casual cultivator, and the other was the head of the Dandao League branch. No matter which one of them was, they were big figures who could cause a big shock to the entire Dayu Xiuxian world with just a stomp of their feet.

Usually, let alone seeing them fight in person, even if you wanted to see them from a distance, it was impossible.

"Then go and take a look when the time comes."

Xiao Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a little expectation.

But his idea was different from Lin Zixi's.

When his strength reached his current level, he was no longer so curious about Li Yang Zhenren, the first casual cultivator with a great reputation in Dayu Xiuxian world, and basically he would not have the mentality of "looking up to" him.

If he was curious, he would be more curious about Wei Wufeng!

If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to deal with the head of the Dandao League in Dayu Xiuxian world in the future.

After all, his 'Ningzhen Dan' is still in the other party's hands!

When he completes his foundation building and prepares to form a Dan, he must first go to Dandao League to get the elixir.

It would be great if he could get to know the person in charge in advance and get familiar with him.

However, this time he plans to watch the battle. The most important thing is to see how strong the cultivators above the middle stage of Dan are, how powerful their means and magical powers are, and whether there is a gap between him and them.

If there is a gap, how big is the gap.

To have a clear mind.

"Master, do you think Wei Wufeng can defeat Li Yang Zhenren?"

Lin Zixi couldn't help but say, "I hope that Li Yang Zhenren can still show his strength as the first independent cultivator in Dayu Xiuxian World and severely defeat the invading Wei Wufeng. The Dandao League is too far away for us and we can't contact it at all. It won't be good for us if Wei Wufeng wins. But if Li Yang Zhenren loses, then Li Yang Xiancheng will probably have to change its owner soon, right?"

"I like Li Yang Xiancheng very much. In Dayu Xiuxian World, there is no other large immortal city that is so rule-abiding and extremely friendly to independent cultivators."

Xiao Changqing smiled, "Your idea is quite clear."

Lin Zixi asked, "Master, don't you want Li Yang Zhenren to win?"

"Have you forgotten that I am still the deputy commander of Li Yangwei?" Xiao Changqing shook his head and said, "Of course I also hope that Li Yang Zhenren can win, and Li Yang Xiancheng will be fine."

It didn't matter to him who was in charge of the Dan Dao League. Anyway, he had the token of Zhu Youlong's master, and he could exchange it for the Ningzhen Pill when the time came.

But if Liyang Xiancheng changed its owner, it would not be dangerous for him, but it would always be a bit troublesome.

...

More than half a month passed in a flash.

The battle between Liyang Zhenren and Wei Wufeng was carried out as scheduled.

The place of the battle was above a large lake not far from Liyang Xiancheng.

Xiao Changqing took the Lin sisters to watch the battle from afar. Lin Ziyu also temporarily stopped his retreat to watch the battle between the top cultivators of Dayu Xiuxianjie.

The time of this battle was not long. The winner was decided in less than half an incense stick of time.

Wei Wufeng was very strong. He could be regarded as a leader in the middle stage of Jindan. His life magic weapon and the magical skills he practiced were extremely good, but he still lost.

Except for causing some trouble to Li Yang Zhenren at the beginning, after Li Yang Zhenren understood his strength, he was able to deal with it with ease, and completely suppressed him in the second half, leaving him with almost no ability to fight back.

It can be called a "big victory".

At least that's the case in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

For example, the Lin sisters were quite excited, thinking that he was worthy of being the first casual cultivator in the Great Yu Xiuxian Realm, a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage, far from being comparable to the middle Jindan stage.

Even if Wei Wufeng now has a big tree to back him up and abundant resources, he is still not his opponent.

But in the eyes of people with a high enough vision, they will find that Li Yang Zhenren's situation is not very good.

Today, Li Yang Zhenren seems to have won overwhelmingly, and the victory was not difficult and the time was not long, but this is actually completely inconsistent with his former peak strength!

If he had not been injured, he would still be the late Jindan Zhenren who was able to suppress the two Yuanying sects, and had great hope to become the third Yuanying Zhenjun in the Great Yu Xiuxian Realm. Today, Wei Wufeng would not even have the opportunity to show his offensive means!

This time, Li Yang Zhenren's fight seemed fine and there were no flaws, but as long as the cultivators with high vision could find that he revealed a sense of "weakness" from beginning to end, and he was not confident enough!

It's not that he didn't want to "go all out", but he didn't dare and had no way!

Even if he only mobilized the mana that was slightly stronger than Wei Wufeng, he clearly felt that his stamina was insufficient several times, and his mana felt difficult to sustain.

It is conceivable that if he faced a cultivator in the late Jindan period today, it would be Li Yang Zhenren himself who would most likely lose!

"Li Yang Zhenren's strength is not as much as the rumors outside, but at most only 30% or 40% of his peak period. Now Li Yang Xiancheng is probably at risk of changing its owner."

After watching the battle, Xiao Changqing thought to himself.

He could see that Li Yang Zhenren was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and Wei Wufeng, who was fighting with Li Yang Zhenren today, couldn't fail to feel it.

Although Wei Wufeng lost today, he seemed to be more confident in his heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably gather the enemies of Li Yang Immortal and formally launch an attack on Li Yang Immortal City.

Rather than tentatively like before, he just used some means in secret.

Back in the city, most of the ordinary cultivators who came back from watching the battle or heard the results of the battle had excitement on their faces, and they praised Li Yang Immortal endlessly.

‘I think the rumors are completely false! Someone with ulterior motives is spreading rumors! Where is the city lord injured? Clearly, his demeanor remains the same! ’

‘Little Wei Wufeng, how ridiculous! He dares to challenge the city lord? It’s simply asking for trouble! ’

‘Today, the city lord is completely restraining his strength and has not really used his killer moves. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as winning, and Wei Wufeng would probably die on the spot! ’

‘This Wei Wufeng is just relying on the thigh of the Dan Dao League. If he hadn’t backed up the Dan Dao League, the city lord would have killed him today and let him reunite with his father in the underground! ’

Xiao Changqing couldn’t help shaking his head when listening to these discussions.

The Lin sisters had similar ideas to these ordinary cultivators, but the two careful women found that the master’s expression was not right, and coupled with their understanding of Xiao Changqing, they couldn’t help but feel shocked.

“Master, how do you think Li Yang Zhenren performed in the fight today? Is it like what we heard everyone talking about when we came back?”

Lin Zixi couldn’t hide the matter, and after returning to the cave, he couldn’t help asking indirectly while helping Xiao Changqing to massage his shoulders and legs.

“From now on, you two sisters should practice more in seclusion and try to go out less.”

Xiao Changqing didn’t answer directly, but the meaning behind the words had made the Lin sisters understand.

It seems that the situation is really not good!

Xiao Changqing closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the two sisters, but he was thinking about what he would do next if Li Yang Xiancheng really became chaotic and was besieged by many enemies.

First of all, he had to remind Manager Hong and Jiang Jiyue to let the Jiang family be careful and low-key recently.

The news of Jiang Canghai's unfortunate death in the battlefield in the southwest has been passed on for more than a year. Even if the news is delayed due to the long distance, it has already been reported back.

Jiang Canghai's revenge plan failed after all.

Although the Luoxia Sect was destroyed, most of the disciples were killed or injured, and fled to the other side of the Yunwu Mountains, the sect leader Lu Daoming survived.

Jiang Canghai failed to avenge himself and his Taoist partner.

As for the Jiang family, the head of the family died, and the pillar of the family was gone. Logically, they would become the former Song family and withdraw from the ranks of the top ten families.

But the Jiang family, in the midst of grief, developed in the opposite direction and became more and more powerful.

The head of the family is Jiang Jiyue, who is in the middle stage of foundation building, and Hong Jiantao assists him. There are also several guest officials in the late stage of foundation building in the family.

The ranking has also jumped from the bottom of the previous top ten families to the top few!

The reason, in addition to Xiao Changqing's order to give one-third of the Song family's industry to the Jiang family, the most important thing is that in this year, the leader of Liyang Guard, Gu Zongyuan, became the "new backer" of the Jiang family!

After the incident of Blood Crow Master, the Liu family and Gu Zongyuan "parted peacefully". If Gu Zongyuan wants a stable income channel, he must support another family.

Perhaps it was for Xiao Changqing's face, or perhaps for other reasons, Gu Zongyuan finally talked with Jiang Jiyue and Hong Jiantao and confirmed the cooperation.

It doesn't matter to Gu Zongyuan who to find; but for the Jiang family, it must be a great thing.

Gu Zongyuan's full support is much more reliable than Zuo Zichun, the backer of the Jiang family before!

"The Jiang family doesn't even have a fake pill cultivator. If Liyang Immortal City really gets in chaos, they are not qualified to get involved."

"But should I get involved?"

Xiao Changqing thought in his mind.

His position as the deputy commander of Liyang Guard is a completely empty position, just a title.

He certainly won't fight for Liyang Immortal.

Let alone him.

Even the real members of Liyang Guard and the guests of the City Lord's Mansion have been turned over in the past year!

In view of his friendship with Gu Zongyuan, Xiao Changqing will definitely not stab in the back and will not join the camp of Wei Wufeng and others.

"As for asking me to take action, it is not a matter of feelings. It depends on whether there are conditions worthy of my action."

Xiao Changqing roughly determined his idea.

If Gu Zongyuan came to him and wanted him to help resist Wei Wufeng and others, it would not be impossible.

But this level of struggle involves the combat power of the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage, and there are even shadows of the two major Yuanying sects behind it. Xiao Changqing will definitely not easily get involved.

There must be conditions that make him excited!

After all, his relationship with Gu Zongyuan is okay, but he does not owe him anything. On the contrary, in the matter of Blood Crow True Man, he is equivalent to saving Gu Zongyuan's life.

...

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

The troops gathered by Wei Wufeng have not officially launched an attack on Liyang Immortal City, but there is one thing that is beyond Xiao Changqing's expectations.

Among the disciples of Liyang True Man, someone rushed to the Jindan stage at this time.

And he succeeded!

This person is Gu Zongyuan! (End of this chapter)
