Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Fight a Battle!

"Who is it, so arrogant?" Bai Yunqi was so angry that he laughed.

Not only was the Treasure Mountain sealed by the Dragon King himself being targeted, but now someone dared to openly challenge him. How could he maintain his dignity if he didn’t drag them out and kill them?!

Hu Zhile’s face turned pale, "Sir, Senior Bai, do not underestimate the enemy!

The one coming is the infamous Li Crazy from Great Yin Mountain, a Loose Cultivator with unstable intelligence. His cultivation is approximately at the Third Layer of Heart Refining, equivalent to the Bone Refining Realm of a Demon Cultivator. Moreover, Li Crazy’s skills are peculiar; he devours the violent Yin Fiend energy like a walking poison. Even a bit of exposure is troublesome."

Bone Refining Realm, Third Layer?

Bai Yunqi had just advanced to the Body Forging Realm, far from reaching the Bone Refining Realm. Hearing this, he was so furious that his crimson horned cloud crown stood upright, yet he decided to swallow his anger and avoid the conflict for now, as there’s a Fengdu-exclusive Protective Array outside that should be able to withstand the attack.

"Old man, you stay inside the house and don’t go out. Depending on the situation, prepare to teleport back to Black Water City immediately; no matter how crazy Ghost Cultivators are, they cannot chase you inside the city. Mingchuan, you stay with your grandfather; Zhile..." Jiang Yuan was eager to claim his reward, and lately, he’d been focusing on gathering equipment. After building up his attack power, he encountered someone he could practice with. He had to go out and try his luck!

He thought of letting Hu Zhile stay behind, since the realm difference was too vast and she wouldn’t be of much use.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zhile stepped forward and said solemnly, "Sir, I’ve spent many years in the Netherworld and have encountered Li Crazy before. Even if negotiations break down, I can provide some help. I will face the enemy with you!"

In crucial moments, character reveals itself. Bai Yunqi increasingly appreciated the new Fox Spirit, nodding and smiling, "Not one to flee for fear of death, that’s good. Since you’ve already entered into a contract with Venerable Family, your address needs changing in the future."

Hu Zhile was extremely delighted and hurriedly bowed to the other.

According to the family’s rules, offering Family Immortal has a priority order, and Bai Yunqi’s realm is higher. Therefore, from any perspective, he is a senior.

Only with his recognition could her ’Family Immortal’ status be legitimized and more stable. Even if the Venerable Family worships other Family Immortals in the future, they won’t surpass her position.

Then, she bowed to Jiang Yuan and changed her address, "Venerable Family."

"Zhile, you take the Teleportation Scroll and leave immediately if the situation doesn’t look good!" Jiang Yuan wasn’t aware of the twists and turns between the two Demon Cultivators, as he was under significant pressure from the giant countdown clock. He was eager to fight monsters and test the results of his recent hard work.

Handing the Teleportation Scroll to Hu Zhile, he took the date-wood stick and pushed the door open.

Bai Yunqi and Hu Zhile followed closely.

[Li Ming: Ghost Cultivator from Great Yin Mountain in the Netherworld, a Level Four Intermediate monster of Heart Refining. He cultivates the Nether Poison Scripture and enjoys devouring the violent Yin Fiend energy for his use, resulting in unclear judgment and crazy behavior due to the inability to completely refine it]

"A Level Four Heart Refining Ghost Cultivator seems a bit resilient." Jiang Yuan flexed his wrists, squinting at the opponent’s health bar, which was thicker and longer than Bai Yunqi’s, eager for a challenge.

Hu Zhile felt a mix of tension and relief at these words, as the Venerable Family could see through the opponent’s realm with a glance, indicating his strength was surely above Li Crazy.

"So you’re just a human kid!" Li Ming’s wire-like short hair stood upright, making the whole Ghost look like a black-maned lion, as his whiskers arrogantly flared to the sides, giving the first impression of an arrogant and challenging character.

Seeing a young human emerge from the small house, Li Ming squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, "This Treasure Mountain was mine first, where did this yellow-haired kid come from to dare to fight me over territory!"

Jiang Yuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, directly taunting, "Your territory? Does it have a deed with your name written on it? Claiming ownership without evidence is nonsense. I could say I’m your grandfather, so why doesn’t my obedient grandson bow to his grandpa?"

"Be cautious, Venerable Family..." Bai Yunqi thought that he wasn’t usually so irritating, but now it seemed intentional to provoke Li Ming into action.

The protective shield might not withstand even a single hit from him!

"I think you lack the skills to break our seal, and now you’re eyeing the territory with a loose seal." Jiang Yuan knew well that the Level Three Protective Shield offered by the system wasn’t very durable, so he provoked Li Ming by jumping beyond the light shield and directly initiated the Heaven-Burning Flame skill.

Li Ming’s mind wasn’t typically sane, but he was definitely not stupid.

Years ago, he discovered that the mountain contained a mysterious, immensely powerful senior’s seal. Unable to break it due to insufficient strength, Li Ming attempted several times without success. The Great Yin Mountain was full of lurking Ghost Cultivators, and he was worried that making too much noise would attract stronger opponents, leaving the Treasure Mountain to others.

Thus, Li Ming would regularly visit to covet it. Last year, when he visited again, he found that the lengthy seal time already showed signs of loosening.

Since a powerful figure was interested, there must be treasures in the mountain!

But until the seal showed signs of loosening, no one had returned to excavate it; it either meant the sealing powerhouse had perished or simply forgot about this treasure land.

No matter the reason, as long as the original expert didn’t return, Li Ming could cautiously make his move under cover!

Li Ming was thrilled and excited, waiting for time to wear down the seal for an opportunity to strike. Little did he know, when checking again recently, everything was as usual, until today when the aura of Lotus Peak abruptly changed.

He hurriedly came, only to find it had already been claimed. The opponent had not only built houses and set up protective shields but even had the aura of Fengdu’s official land division, suggesting long-term settlement. Just as his long-coveted Treasure Mountain was snatched away, and seeing no formidable presence, he was livid and wished to devour the culprit!

However, the official array of Fengdu blocked him, and not wanting to confront the big noise that would attract more Ghost Cultivators, Li Ming tried to provoke the opponent out of the array’s range with trash talk to kill and seize the deed, securing his rightful claim.

Before any harsh words were spoken, a young human without any Spiritual Energy suddenly jumped out, boldly boasting, but he didn’t pay much attention and instead focused on the man and woman behind him.

The man had brows like knives and a stern face, with a snake-like red mark between his brows, appearing somewhat eerie, likely a snake-type Demon Cultivator;

The woman’s features were beautiful, skin like creamy jade, with a slender waist exuding an innate charming aura, also a Demon Cultivator, but her aura was obviously not as strong as the man’s.

Therefore, Li Ming concentrated on taking Bai Yunqi as his opponent. Jiang Yuan jumped out of the light shield with the date-wood stick and initiated an Heaven-Burning Flame attack as Li Ming was still contemplating how to unleash Yin Fiend energy that he could barely control to pollute the Demon Cultivator. If he could control and kill the female demon, he might consider converting her into a puppet to serve himself.

"Boom!"

No spiritual power fluctuation and no spell-prone warning, a flame seemingly capable of burning the heavens shot straight at Li Ming’s face!

-2400!

A chunk of Health Bar dropped in Jiang Yuan’s sight as a red number hovered above the opponent’s head.

Bai Yunqi, who had wanted to advise the Venerable Family against recklessness, swallowed his words, feeling more confident and smug. He hadn’t realized the Venerable Family’s hidden strength, able to unleash such potent attacks even in the Netherworld, a place devoid of Spiritual Energy. This wave was secured!

"Finally a chance to try the new skill with no cooldown time, hehe!" Jiang Yuan smirked mischievously.

Of course, before using Vast Mountains and Rivers, he had to toss out a Black Flame Storm with a three-day cooldown, letting it cool down quickly, grow experience points to level up, and aim to shorten the cooldown timer further.
