outside.
Looking at the cave dwelling before him, a fierce glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He was secretly annoyed: "Hmph, they're courting death. They killed someone and didn't run away, they even dare to come back."
He was a little surprised that the guy who killed his henchmen not only didn't run away, but instead returned to the market and rented a cave to live in.
This left him like a headless fly for half a month, searching all over the area outside the market where the independent cultivators lived, and even looking for a long time at various stalls in the market, but he still couldn't find anyone.
Looking at the Tibetan cave in front of him, Lin Guangxiong's face turned pale and red. He felt as if he had been tricked and had lost face terribly.
He ordered several of his men to lie in wait nearby, waiting for the enemy to appear.
Just in case, he also took out a stack of talismans and distributed them to his subordinates.
This included two mid-grade first-tier frost talismans, whose power was roughly equivalent to an ice-type spell cast by a cultivator at the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Although not fatal, even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm would be frozen solid if hit by these talismans, making it difficult for them to move.
This mid-grade Frost Talisman is quite valuable, with each one worth more than ten low-grade spirit stones.
If he hadn't been the manager of the Liu family's talisman pavilion and hadn't inherited the Liu family's talisman skills to become a mid-grade first-level talisman master, he wouldn't have been able to have so many talismans at his disposal.
At that moment, the cave door opened, and Lin Guangxiong and the others showed slight changes in their expressions, hiding themselves and not showing themselves.
It wasn't until Chen Liu closed the cave door and came out that Lin Guangxiong and the other four suddenly rushed out. Two of them, cultivators at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, intercepted Chen Liu from behind, cutting off his escape route back to the cave.
Lin Guangxiong and the other two blocked Chen Liu's left and right sides.
Staring at Chen Liu's face and confirming that he was indeed the person they were looking for, Lin Guangxiong grinned maliciously: "Kid, you've got some nerve. You killed one of our men and dared to come back. And not only that, you even dared to stay in this level cave!"
"Just surrender obediently, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, you probably don't want to experience what it's like to wish you were dead."
Chen Liu didn't look at anyone else, but only sized up Lin Guangxiong in front of him.
He was about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a dark black brocade robe, with a slightly effeminate and lewd appearance, two rat-like whiskers, and a large black mole at the corner of his mouth.
With a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm, and a faint aura of ferocity emanating from his body, he was clearly no benevolent person.
They've come with ill intentions.
"Killed your men?" Chen Liu thought for a moment before recalling that he had indeed killed a few henchmen who wanted to rob him some time ago.
If it weren't mentioned, he would have forgotten that there were still a few people there.
"So, who are you to them?" Chen Liu looked at the person in front of him with great interest.
Lin Guangxiong's expression darkened slightly. He had no interest in wasting words with Chen Liu and waved his hand, ordering the four men surrounding Chen Liu to take action: "Take him down."
Fighting is prohibited in Fulai Market, but if it's a quick and peaceful affair, and you just want to leave the market with one person, then there's no problem.
Upon hearing the order, two of the four subordinates each took out several talismans, including several low-grade first-tier wood vine talismans and two mid-grade first-tier ice talismans.
As the talisman was activated, strands of wooden vines materialized out of thin air and bound towards Chen Liu, followed closely by two streams of icy frost that swept towards him.
The remaining two people each possessed a whip and a rope, respectively.
The rope is a low-grade magic artifact called the Spirit Binding Rope. If one is bound by this rope, all of one's magic power will be imprisoned and absorbed by the Spirit Binding Rope. The more one struggles, the tighter it binds and the stronger the absorption force becomes, until all magic power is absorbed and one can no longer struggle to escape.
The whip is a low-grade magic weapon called the Soul-Striking Whip. It doesn't have much effect on the physical body; at most, one lash will leave a whip mark on the body.
However, it causes excruciating pain to the soul, and at the Qi Refining Realm level, it can be used as a weapon for killing and capturing people.
However, just as the four of them made their move, Chen Liu, who had been surrounded by them, vanished without a trace in an instant.
The speed was so fast that even Lin Guangxiong, the manager of Liu's Talisman Pavilion who was at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, couldn't see it clearly. He only felt a light breeze.
The next moment, a hand grabbed his neck, and a tremendous force lifted him off the ground.
Lin Guangxiong's eyes bulged out and stared wide-eyed, and the hairs on his body stood on end at that moment, sending chills down his spine.
The magical power within his body was about to erupt in resistance, but the next moment...
A palm struck his dantian from behind: "Bang!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Guangxiong's magical power dissipated, and his back felt as if it had been broken, causing him excruciating pain. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was carelessly tossed aside by Chen Liu in front of the remaining four people, like a dead dog.
Chen Liu wiped his hands, as if he had just gotten them dirty. After wiping them, he looked at the five people who were filled with fear, shock, and bewilderment, and calmly said, "Alright, now I'll ask questions, and you answer."
Lin Guangxiong cried out in terror, "Fighting is forbidden in the market! You can't fight! You can't kill us! Otherwise, you'll be executed along with us!"
"Furthermore, we are members of the Liu family! How dare you provoke someone from the Liu family?! You're courting death!"
"My Liu family is one of the top Foundation Establishment cultivation families in the market, with a Foundation Establishment ancestor overseeing us. If you dare to touch us, the young master will not let you off, and the ancestor will not forgive you. No matter where you run, you will die!"
"Those who know what's good for them should quickly kneel down and beg for mercy!"
oh.......
There's no need for Chenliu to ask any more questions.
This guy himself told me what he wanted to know.
Liu, who had spent half a month in Fulai Market, was someone Chenliu really knew and understood.
Behind Fulai Market is the Ziyang Pavilion, a Nascent Soul Immortal Sect, but the Ziyang Pavilion's immortal territory is not here, nor is it limited to just this one market. This is merely one of the sixteen markets under the Ziyang Pavilion's jurisdiction.
Besides the Ziyang Pavilion, Fulai Market also has two top-tier local cultivation families: the Liu family and the Yun family.
Among them, the Liu family was skilled in both alchemy and talisman making, and owned a pill pavilion and a talisman pavilion, making a fortune every day.
The Yun family is skilled in crafting puppets and controlling beasts. They established the Yun Family Merchant Guild, which specializes in buying and selling puppets and beasts.
It also involves alchemy and weapon crafting, but only for crafting pills needed for beast taming.
The same applies to weapon crafting, except that it involves crafting magical artifacts needed to control demonic beasts.
Both of these cultivation families have considerable influence, with hundreds of cultivators and even a Foundation Establishment Realm ancestor.
For ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators or independent cultivators, such a force naturally requires respect and they dare not provoke or offend it.
But what does the Liu family mean to Chenliu?
He's even been offended by the Primordial Immortal Sect and is now wanted by the authorities.
in contrast.
When Chen Liu learned that these people came from the Liu family, his eyes lit up and he was somewhat tempted: "Alchemy and talismans are traditions that the Taoists didn't have before. If we could have the tradition of alchemy and talismans, it would be of great benefit to the Dayong Dynasty."
