Daoying

Chapter 545 A feasible path

"Daoyou's request is a bit excessive."

A Luo said bluntly.

"The sea dragon spirit cannot compare to the great emptiness spirit?"

"Tsk, you're talking as if you're using the Sea Dragon Essence to exchange for it. Hai Yin may not attack, and even if he does, he may not be able to take it away. Your terms will only count if you can effectively block him when he really attacks."

A Luo sneered and continued, "Also, if Hai Yin gets the sea dragon spirit, it will be a huge threat to your race. Even if I don't give you enough benefits, you still have a reason to help me deal with him."

"Oh, if you want to say that, then there is really nothing to talk about. However, you did remind me that if Hai Yin obtains the sea dragon spirit, it is indeed not a good thing. In order to prevent this from happening, besides confronting it head-on, I seem to have another way."

Xie Huan paced in the cave with his hands behind his back, turned his head and looked at A Luo leisurely and said: "That is to seize the spirits of the other few, so that we don't have to be afraid of Hai Yin."

After saying this, he stared at the ball of savage soul power.

A Luo and Leng Yu's faces changed at the same time, and they shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

"Oh, if Haiyin dares, why doesn't my Holy Island dare?"

Xie Huan smiled wantonly and said, "And if I talk to Hai Yin directly about this proposal, I believe he will agree."

A Luo asked in surprise: "Are you from Holy Island?"

"Exactly."

Xie Huan threw out the token.

At the same time, he was curious that Wang Chen did not tell A Luo his identity. It seemed that although Wang Chen had entered the ghost path, he did not completely trust the Ghost King Island and still had his own little thoughts.

This is a good thing, it makes it easier to control yourself.

A Luo checked the token and his face became even uglier.

Although Xie Huan's words were a threat, the proposal just now would have a very high success rate if it were really discussed with Hai Yin.

For the sake of the sea dragon spirit, Haiyin would definitely be willing to give up the other few.

If that happens, I will be embarrassed.

He has always wanted to remain neutral between the two major forces, which may result in the two major forces joining forces to deal with him first.

"Fellow Daoist, please call me when you have considered it, but you have to be quick so that I can decide whether to cultivate Taixu Lingyao or the ancient beast spirit."

Xie Huan said this and was about to leave.

A Luo was so angry that his whole body was filled with evil spirits, which spread towards Xie Huan, but he did not attack. Instead, he circled around in the cave for a few times, then took all the evil spirits back into his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will give you the secret method of Taixu Lingyao, but Shengdao must promise to help my Ghost King Island safely collect all the spirits here."

"I can't represent the Holy Island, but I can promise that as long as we deal with the Sea Clan, the human race on the island will help us with all their might. This is true not only for the Holy Island and the Qiankun Sect, but also for the seven great families. Don't worry, I will soon recruit all the human races on the island."

Xie Huan said confidently.

A Luo didn't say anything else. Originally, the seven great families were controlled by Wang Chen, and Wang Chen was controlled by himself. What Xie Huan said meant that he was about to lose a group of forces. But it didn't matter. They were all small fry and could not play a decisive role.

He took out a scroll surrounded by purple air, stroked it gently, and threw it to Xie Huan.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Xie Huan checked the authenticity and put it in his pocket. He was overjoyed and said, "I have another matter that I would like to consult you about."

"what's up?"

A Luo said gloomily, "Haven't you gotten enough benefits yet?"

"No, it happened a long time ago. Xu Zifeng got a magic box. It is said that he got it on Ghost King Island?"

Xie Huan asked.

"No comment."

A Luo didn't expect that it would be such a long jump. He sneered and said, "You can also want to know. Return Taixu Lingyao to me."

"Haha, then I'll ask you again when I have the chance."

Xie Huan laughed a few times, then clasped his fists and left, disappearing into the cave in a flash.

Seeing this, Leng Yu finally couldn't help cursing: "This man didn't do anything, but he cheated Taixu Lingyao away. How abominable! Sir, are you going to be blackmailed by him like this?"

A Luo's figure became more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Many times, it is not necessary to use force to accomplish things. This person is well versed in the art of gambling, and knows how to take advantage of the situation. After a few speeches, he has us beat."

"I won't accept this! When has our Ghost King Island ever been bullied like this?"

Leng Yu was so angry that he stomped the ground to pieces.

"Not willing? Then go ahead and kill him and take Lingyao back."

A Luo stared at him coldly.

Leng Yu felt frightened by the stare and dared not to be angry anymore.

"Quickly refine your spirit and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. Although my Ghost King Island dominates the area and is detached from the world, I dare not confront the sea clan or the Holy Island head-on. If I meet them, I can only take a detour and swallow the loss."

After saying this, A Luo disappeared.

……

After Xie Huan returned to the secret room, he took the purple scroll and looked at it carefully, then slowly unfolded it.

After he learned the purpose of Hai's visit, he sensed an opportunity for profit, and sure enough, with some words, he got the treasure out of nothing.

And another important point is to get A Luo to stand on his side.

Just as A Luo said, even if he didn't give any benefits, Xie Huan would not watch Hai Yin take the sea dragon's soul. He would definitely intervene, or take away another soul himself as equal compensation.

Now he has obtained Taixu Lingyao for free, and also gained the secret alliance of Guiwang Island, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

The identity of the Holy Island is still very useful. You can use it to pressure others and it will definitely be successful.

This made Xie Huan want to enter the Holy Island.

"The Great Void Spiritual Light begins in chaos. Now that the spiritual vortex is stable, we can cultivate its core..."

Xie Huan looked at the scroll and began to practice.

This magical secret technique can restrain all elements, but when combined with the power of the elements, it can double the power of one's sword formation.

In his previous life, he had only heard of this method but had never seen it.

At this moment, he possessed several top-level magical powers, as well as magic arts and some immortal methods, and it was effortless for him to practice Taixu Lingyao.

……

A few days later, Shadow Market.

The huge hovercraft suddenly became dim, and all the black fog seemed to be sucked in. The entire boat gradually became transparent, and after entering a white cloud, it completely disappeared. In a spacious living room, dim light penetrated in, casting irregular shadows on the smooth floor.

In the space in front of the sofa, eight pills were floating with surging spiritual light, emitting a holy and pure luster.

Lan Lu's eyes passed through the pills and fixed on a lazy man lying on the sofa. She said coldly, "Do you want to give me an explanation?"

The man was the person in charge of the Shadow Market here, named Zheng Jun. He sneered and then burst into laughter: "Haha, Lan Lu, are you kidding me? What explanation do you want? Isn't it normal to sell Holy Infant Pills in the market? We are the Shadow Market, shouldn't we sell everything? Instead, you stopped all the goods I sent, you should give me an explanation!"

"It's normal to have Holy Infant Pills for sale, but aren't these too many? Behind every Holy Infant Pill is the life of at least a Nascent Soul cultivator. Also, all of these pills are destined for the Sea Clan. Not only that, but there are also a lot of contraband in the intercepted goods. It's not hard to see what the Sea Clan wants to do. Although my Shadow Market does all kinds of business, it is a human force after all. At this critical juncture, we still have to have a bottom line."

"Bottom line? Haha, you're so funny. Which rule in the market has the word bottom line? Don't think I don't know what you want to do. I know exactly why you're here. You're Yan Yiyi's man, and you're the eldest son's man. You just want to find a handle to deal with me so that you can take advantage of the Ancient Beast Islands."

"Whatever you say, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. You must give me an explanation. What I found out is not only the Holy Infant Pill, but you even sold human cultivators to the sea people. This is simply a complete loss of character and an unforgivable crime!"

"Lan Lu, stop looking so righteous. It's laughable. You and I are just pawns in the game between the upper levels. Why should the lower levels make things difficult for the lower levels? It's better to get along well, make more money, and break through as soon as possible. It's a rare opportunity for us to be together. We can even consider dual cultivation. We are both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so no one will suffer. What do you think?"

"Bah! Dirty!"

"Since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for being rude."

Zheng Jun's face turned cold, and his Nascent Soul flew out of his body. A vast amount of spiritual energy surged out, filling the entire hall in an instant.

More than a dozen shadows appeared in the hall one after another, each of them exuding the same aura, interweaving into a formation in the air. Everyone formed seals with their hands and surrounded Lan Lu.

"Did you plan this in advance?"

Lan Lu turned her eyes and saw the formation clearly, but she did not panic. Instead, she looked at Zheng Jun coldly and asked.

"The more you plan, the more you win. When you intercepted my goods, I expected the current situation to happen. You are indeed an ungrateful bastard. It seems that I will have to have one more Holy Infant Pill in my hand."

Zheng Jun smiled grimly and reached forward, taking all eight Holy Infant Pills into his hand. Then he shouted, "Kill!"

The dozen or so shadows suddenly became blurry and moved at an extremely fast speed, leaving hundreds of afterimages that were difficult to identify.

"I have been in the middle stage of Yuanying for eighty-eight years, and you have just broken through. How can you fight me? Add to that the assassination formation, and you will die today."

Zheng Jun raised his hand, and a hook-shaped magic weapon emerged, emitting a sharp aura.

"Humph, you talk too much nonsense. Am I so stupid in your eyes that you are the only one who made the arrangements?"

Lan Lu sneered and bowed respectfully to the void, saying, "Sir."

There was a flash of lightning in the void, and a body of thunder slowly emerged. It was Xie Huan.

After Lan Lu discovered Zheng Jun's abnormality, she kept feeding back information to Xie Huan until the goods were intercepted and she immediately sent a message to Xie Huan asking for support.

Zheng Jun's face changed drastically. He scanned Xie Huan with his spiritual sense. Xie Huan was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but he inexplicably sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Take action!"

He swung the long hook in his hand, drawing a golden glow, with rays of light bursting out from it, making pleasant sounds like piano keys.

The dozen or so dark shadows also attacked in an instant, and the black aura intertwined in the air and wrapped around the two of them.

Xie Huan had a blank expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and clenched his five fingers. A ball of light condensed in his fist and then released instantly, just like the sun in the sky. Rays of light shot out and illuminated the entire living room in an instant.

The black killing array formed by shadows was immediately dispersed by the light and melted like ice and snow.

The dozen or so people had nowhere to hide and were all enveloped by the light. They were terrified and tried to practice magic spells in a hurry, but found that their magic was completely suppressed by the light.

The sound of the long hook driven by Zheng Jun suddenly disappeared, and the golden luster merged into the light and almost disappeared.

He was horrified and hurriedly used his Nascent Soul to grab the long hook, pouring all his spiritual power into it, and chopped forward with all his might, trying to break the light.

Xie Huan casually stepped forward, and a ray of light burst out from his fingertips, instantly hitting Zheng Jun's Nascent Soul's forehead. Zheng Jun's whole body shook, a ball of blood burst out on his forehead, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

His Nascent Soul screamed miserably, and spiritual energy leaked out crazily. In its painful struggle, it became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.

Zheng Jun also lost his life and fell on the ground with his face up, his eyes open.

The dozen or so shadows were horrified and tried to escape, but were caught up by Lan Lu and killed.

"grown ups."

Lan Lu returned to Xie Huan, glanced at Zheng Jun lying on the ground, her heart pounding, and she hurriedly bowed her head to greet him.

This was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator who was even stronger than her, but he was almost killed in one move by the man in front of him.

A deep chill surged through Lan Lu's body. What kind of terrifying existence was this?
She suddenly felt extremely lucky that she was not Xie Huan's enemy.

Xie Huan frowned and said nothing, occasionally looking at his palm, and then drew a few symbols in the air, all of which were dazzling lights.

"strangeness."

Xie Huan murmured to himself, "What else is missing?"

What he had just used was the Taixu Lingyao. Although it looked pretty good, it seemed to be much worse than A Luo's, not only in power but also in quality.

Could it be that the skills that boy gave me were fake?
No, the technique is real, but why is there a gap?
Xie Huan was puzzled.

"grown ups."

Lan Lu waited for a while and couldn't help but call out again.

Xie Huan came back to his senses, and said, "Oh," "Now that Zheng Jun has been eliminated, you can completely control the situation. I don't care about these. I only care about how my business is going."

"Don't worry, sir. I already have an idea."

Lan Lu said hurriedly: "I guessed that Zheng Jun and the Sea Clan had close trade, and there was a lot of unscrupulous trade, including human slaves."

"You want me to disguise myself as a slave and go to Haidu?"

Xie Huan understood immediately and asked.

"Exactly."

Lan Lu explained, "I have checked all trade with the Sea Clan. No matter what the goods are, they must be completely delivered outside the Sea Clan's territory. Our people cannot enter at all. Only human slaves can enter."

"What kind of restrictions will these slaves bear?"

"A spell called 'Spirit Suppression' can cut off and suppress the power of the cultivators. Since the Sea Clan's goal is to use the cultivators to refine pills and weapons, they will not harm their lives. At that time, we can simulate the spell on you, but it is not a real spell."

"It's feasible. I'll do as you say. When will it happen?"

"The last batch of slaves was sent not long ago, so we need to accumulate some supplies. The sea tribe is also catching slaves themselves, and we will reunite when the time is almost right."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After Xie Huan finished speaking, he turned into lightning and disappeared.

Lan Lu maintained a respectful attitude and waited for a while before she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and found that her collar was soaked with cold sweat.
