I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm
Chapter 224 - 121: Flying Eagle Delivers Pills, Early Outbreak (Part 3)
Just before the planned action was about to commence, an unexpected event occurred.
It was rumored that Flying Eagle Ma Ji from Qingyuan Sect unexpectedly helped with ’Transporting Pill,’ although this information was still only a guess.
But even if it’s just a slim possibility, he was unwilling and too afraid to take the gamble.
He had deeply experienced the terror of Bai Dongxian at his peak.
Thus, he had to advance the plan, which was initially scheduled to unfold several days later.
He absolutely couldn’t give Bai Dongxian enough time to refine the Spirit Pill.
...
The third day.
Zhou Changwang woke up early in the morning.
He had also packed everything; the whole courtyard was empty. Besides the slightly damaged Magic Wall and the scorched earth in the backyard due to his cultivation technique, there were almost no traces left.
The Fog Array and Sound Insulation Array set up around were also removed by him.
"Time to set off.
Temporarily leave this place of trouble."
Zhou Changwang glanced at the sky.
The sun had not yet risen, and due to the relatively high terrain, the fog was heavy, giving a sensation as if one was in a fairyland when viewed from afar.
He directly closed the courtyard gate and walked out.
Perhaps because it was early morning, there weren’t many people on the street.
Zhou Changwang decided to run straight to Shuiyun Pavilion to rendezvous with Shen Xinyue, Qian Xiaoyue, and others.
After all, while they had notified him of the departure day, they hadn’t set a specific time. As someone who ’follows and leans,’ it’s naturally inappropriate to make others wait.
So he decided it was more prudent to go early and join the company.
Boom!
Suddenly.
Zhou Changwang heard a deafening sound, followed by intense battle noises that spread out.
Not just in one place.
It seemed within a short period, intense magic fluctuations erupted in various places throughout the marketplace, coupled with magic falling onto buildings, causing a grand array to shatter, and the resulting huge commotion.
"This..."
Zhou Changwang’s face changed drastically.
"Has chaos started early?"
He was stunned.
Early morning, the sentimental feeling of leaving a place he had lived for more than ten years instantly vanished without a trace.
Then, with a flash of spiritual light on him, Protective Body Technique and Light Body Skill were almost instantaneously activated, as he flipped his hand and tightly held a Flying Sword.
In his other hand, a stack of Spirit Talismans appeared.
"No matter what, first find Qian Xiaoyue and the others to regroup."
With Spirit Eye Technique active, Zhou Changwang carefully glanced around and then quickly ran toward Shuiyun Pavilion.
Perhaps due to the battle sounds, many people woke up, with countless individuals running out of their courtyards.
More seemed to recall the ’carnival’ of chaos from half a year ago, directly running to shopfronts, launching attacks, intending to smash Defensive Arrays, and looting the treasures inside.
Even cultivators began attacking each other.
Chaos erupted almost instantly.
Zhou Changwang rushed forward, and even passing cultivators tried to attack him.
Someone directly manipulated magical artifacts to attack him.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang’s gaze turned cold, and shifting his body to the side, he used Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon, disappearing from where he stood, reappearing close to the attacker, and swiftly pointing a finger.
Splat!
As a flash of spiritual light disappeared, the person’s head was immediately penetrated.
Zhou Changwang quickly picked up the Storage Bag on the individual and the Dharma Flying Knife that fell after the person’s death, stepping forward swiftly and disappearing from the spot.
The nearby cultivators planning to pick up the leftovers were startled, too afraid to make any moves.
"The speed at which this chaos erupted is too rapid."
Zhou Changwang didn’t stop his steps, witnessing several cultivators looting along the way.
Many shops were smashed open by multiple cultivators collaborating to break the Store Protection Array; sounds of killing and screams were heard frequently.
Zhou Changwang couldn’t care about much and didn’t intend to intervene.
In such chaotic circumstances, he couldn’t look after himself, let alone extend goodwill to aid others.
Soon, Shuiyun Pavilion was in sight.
Shuiyun Pavilion, with its deep background, was guarded by experts as known by surrounding cultivators, leading none to dare focus on Shuiyun Pavilion.
However, many gazes were watching from the surrounding. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
As Zhou Changwang approached, he felt more than one person observing him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou.
You’ve arrived."
Inside Shuiyun Pavilion, naturally, someone was paying attention to the outside.
Moreover, due to Qian Xiaoyue, many inside Shuiyun Pavilion recognized him, knowing that he would leave the marketplace with Shuiyun Pavilion today.
Therefore, someone quickly greeted him, inviting him into Shuiyun Pavilion.
The Store Protection Array slightly opened, allowing Zhou Changwang to successfully enter Shuiyun Pavilion.
"Greetings, Shopkeeper Li, greetings to all sisters."
Zhou Changwang noticed that inside Shuiyun Pavilion, there were more than ten people, most of whom were female cultivators; Shopkeeper Li Qianyun, Alchemy Master Zhang Siyu, Spirit Plant Master Lu Yun...
However, he did not see Shen Xinyue and Qian Xiaoyue.
Zhou Changwang was startled and quickly asked, "Where’s Elder Shen and Qian Xiaoyue?"
"Earlier, Xinyue went out, saying someone asked her to escort some people out together.
She should be back soon, and once Xinyue returns, we will depart, quickly leaving the marketplace.
As for Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue also went out early; it seemed her sister had some items she couldn’t carry, requiring Xiaoyue to lend her Storage Bag for packing.
No one expected chaos to suddenly erupt, and Xiaoyue hasn’t returned yet..."
