Chapter 498: Large Attack (1)

A few months later, in a remote mountain range, Shen Ping looked at the disappearing Beast Pattern Golden Fruit in his hand and revealed a relaxed expression. Just now, his master had told him that the human race had already agreed that if he obtained the third Beast Pattern Golden Fruit, he would keep it and deal with it.
This also caused him to have some strong expectations for the second Beast Spirit Ranking Competition 500 years later. As long as he could enter the top 20, he would be able to obtain the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit again. At that time, he would be able to allow his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to possess the power of a strange beast.
Of course, in his heart, he wanted to increase his strange beast talent as soon as possible and search for the source of the branch.
Back in Graystone City, his life was once again on the right track. Every day, he would comprehend the Beast Scripture and absorb the strange stones to cultivate at a fixed time. At night, he would have sex with his wife and concubines. Occasionally, he would stroll around the city and the cultivation city where the surrounding branches were located.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years passed.
On this day, the branch of the True Treasure Pavilion in the Yanling Market not far from the Flame Ice Lake welcomed the flying ship’s supplies once every half a month. It was Mu Jin who was personally escorting them. She had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but her mental state was a little unstable. Yu Yan asked her to stay in the Yanling Market for a period of time to relax and deal with some chores in the branch.
Shopkeeper Xiao personally waited with the members of the pavilion.
As the flying ship landed, Mu Jin slowly alighted from the flying ship. The aura of her Nascent Soul was restrained, but she had an extraordinary temperament. Her pink shawl and dress accentuated her figure, and her face was covered with a white veil, making her look mysterious and agile.
“The cultivators of the Yanling Branch Pavilion greet Senior Mu!”
Hearing the respect in his voice, a faint smile appeared on Mu Jin’s lips. “Fellow Daoist Xiao, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. I came with the flying ship this time and won’t interfere in the affairs of the branch pavilion.”
Shopkeeper Xiao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still maintained a respectful expression.
They entered the market. There was an endless stream of cultivators on the streets, and the shops on both sides were lined up. The liveliness was not inferior to the main street of Gray Stone City.
Looking at the Foundation Establishment cultivators passing by, and even some low-level cultivators, Mu Jin suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed, as if she was in the Cloud Mountain Parlour.
“Senior Mu, most of the descendants of cultivators with ordinary spiritual roots gather in Yanling Plaza. However, in recent years, many cultivators from other cities have come to settle here. Therefore, compared to a few years ago, this place is much more lively.” Shopkeeper Xiao smiled and said.
Realization flashed in Mu Jin’s eyes, and then she said, “Did they escape from the east of Yanling?”
Shopkeeper Xiao looked around and sent a voice transmission, “That’s right. The east of the Yanling is filled with endless war. The Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, and other foreign races frequently plunder our human cultivators. It’s said that the mountain gates of several sects have been destroyed. Some family cultivators have crossed Yanling and left the place they rely on to survive to come to the Yanling Market. Moreover, the number has gradually increased. Although most of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators have gone to Yanshan City, many cultivators have chosen to go to the Yanling Market.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, “Logically speaking, I shouldn’t say anything. However, the situation recently is indeed not optimistic. Many cultivators in the market are worried that the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, and other foreign races will attack the Yanling market. Moreover, some cultivators have already discovered that some Devil Clan and the Spirit Clan are trying to kill us human cultivators at Yanling Valley and Flame Ice Lake.
“Therefore, it’s really not appropriate for you to come here this time. After all, if a war breaks out and affects you, I can’t absolve myself of the blame even if I die ten thousand times!”
Mu Jin said casually, “It’s fine. You won’t be blamed for this. The main pavilion has already noticed the situation here. I came here to deal with this matter.”
Shopkeeper Xiao looked happy. “With the main pavilion stepping forward, I’m relieved.”
Although the chaos on the east side of Yanling had intensified, as long as it was a cultivation city guarded by the True Treasure Pavilion, as well as a market city, no one from the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, or other races dared to attack. They did not even disturb the business path. Therefore, with the main pavilion paying attention, the worry in Shopkeeper Xiao’s heart instantly disappeared.
Back at the branch pavilion, Mu Jin first learned about the resource transactions in the branch pavilion, then went to a special wing in the backyard to rest. In the next dozens of days, she personally went to the Yanling Valley to investigate and found that there were indeed cultivators of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Demon Clan plundering and killing human cultivators. Even the resource-rich Flame Ice Lake had such a situation.
“Sister Yu Yan, Yanling Market is quite far from Yanshan City. The flying ship has to travel for about three days. Moreover, Yanshan City is very far from Gray Stone City. It takes more than a month to return. It’s the furthest place our True Treasure Pavilion has established a branch. If the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, and other foreign races take action, they might choose this place.”
“I didn’t expect the situation in Yanling to be so serious. Senior Luo Xia has already said that the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, and other foreign races will attack the area under the jurisdiction of our Treasure Pavilion sooner or later. Although there has been no movement over the years, the living environment of the humans in the surrounding areas has become worse and worse. All the races have been killed. Sister Mu Jin, you have to be careful. I’ll send a Void Refinement Realm senior over now.”
“Is Husband still in seclusion?”
“Yes.”
She ended the transmission. Mu Jin sighed. She actually wanted to return to Graystone City to accompany her husband, but Shen Ping had been in seclusion for some time, and she didn’t want to disturb him because of her.
In the refining workshop of the Sword Seal City, the Void Refinement and Body Integration experts of the Flame Race gathered and bowed respectfully to the main seat. “Greetings, Elder Pu.”
The thin old man sitting at the head of the table said calmly, “There’s no need to be so polite. Take a seat..”
