129 They… Are True Cannon Fodder
When Xin Qianqian found that there were so many spiritual items in the upper realm and the superior-grade spirit tool that could suppress luck only cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, she had the urge to send all the spirit stones in the Tianling Sect to Fang Jinyu.
It was because they couldn’t purchase superior-grade spirit tools with spirit stones in the Nine Desolations. Not to mention fifth-grade heavenly material like the March-spring lightning that could suppress luck!
The March-spring lightning had always been a rumor in the Nine Desolations and had never appeared on the market.
Finally, it was the nameless mirror that restricted “Sect Leader Xin.”
Within 24 hours, the nameless mirror could only send 10,000 spirit stones over. It wasn’t because Fang Jinyu lacked in inner energy, but because the nameless mirror’s upper limit was so.
If Fang Jinyu wanted to increase the transmission capacity, he could only find a magic treasure fragment that had the same origin as the nameless mirror’s core and was torn apart by the power of the heavens. At that time, he could fuse it into the nameless mirror.
It also suppressed Fang Jinyu’s desire to buy more lightning-attribute spiritual items.
Fang Jinyu then studied the nameless mirror in his hand. After more than ten days, he successfully comprehended the profound refining techniques in it, allowing spirit tool refining skills to advance by leaps and bounds.
After that, Fang Jinyu, who had more than 100,000 Flawless Spirit Stones, went to buy the spirit herbs he needed.
Fang Jinyu planned to improve his cultivation base first.
Ever since Fang Jinyu’s core surpassed grade 1, his cultivation path had become even smoother. The power of the embryonic form of his magic domains had increased significantly.
However, before Fang Jinyu could start refining, the horn of war mobilization was blown.
The revolt of the Sin Beasts!
Fang Jinyu thought about it and rushed to Yin Wujiu’s residence. As for whether or not he should run, he would first observe the situation.
When Fang Jinyu arrived at the commander’s residence, he discovered that there were already quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators present. Even the two Core Formation stage cultivators from the Mountain River Realm that he met previously were present. Including Yin Wujiu, there were a total of 13 Core Formation stage cultivators here.
“This is Han Feiyu, you can also call him General Guard Han.” Yin Wujiu was the first to speak and introduced Fang Jinyu. The other guards cupped their fists in response.
Fang Jinyu naturally returned the greeting.
When it came to introducing the two Core Formation stage cultivators from the Mountain River Realm, these guards were perfunctory. It made the two Core Formation stage cultivators from the Mountain River Realm look awkward, but they couldn’t say anything about it. They could only choose to glare at Fang Jinyu.
Because in their eyes, Fang Jinyu had come earlier than them, which was why he had snatched their spots to be a general guard!
But in reality, there were 13 Core Formation stage cultivators here. Other than Yin Wujiu, there were only five general guards including Fang Jinyu. The rest were all on the waiting list. At that time, the position of the general guard to work under Yin Wujiu was vacant, and there were several who could be promoted. However, in the end, Fang Jinyu took out too many high-grade sin cores, causing the other Core Formation stage cultivators to directly lose the qualification to compete.
After all, to a commander, it didn’t matter who became a general guard.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with those Sin Beast Kings. They first tore up the agreement and capsized the ship that went out to catch fish. Therefore, after discussing with the people of the three families, we decided to bring out the general spirit flag and communicate with those Sin Beast Kings.” Yin Wujiu briefly explained the reason and then set off with a group of Core Formation stage cultivators.
Dozens of nautical miles were only a matter of time for Core Formation stage cultivators to reach.
When Fang Jinyu arrived with Yin Wujiu, he realized that there were already many Core Formation stage cultivators present. There were also Core Formation stage cultivators flying over one after another. When the commander, general guards, and those on the waiting list of Demon-extinguishing Immortal City arrived, there were already more than a hundred Core Formation stage cultivators gathered here. In addition to those sent by the three major families, nearly 200 Core Formation stage cultivators had gathered in this place!
Although there were no Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the power formed by so many Core Formation stage cultivators was also extremely great.
After Fang Jinyu roughly observed them, he realized that these Core Formation stage cultivators gave him a “weak” feeling. Some of them were even extremely weak. They gave him the feeling that they looked like Core Formation stage cultivators but were actually Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
The situation was a little like that of the disciple of the Zhudao Sect from before.
“Did all of them have no immortal seeds?”
Fang Jinyu was slightly surprised. It seemed that the scarcity of the immortal seed was even greater than his phenomenon.
Or perhaps, only Nascent Soul stage cultivators could have immortal seeds.
At this moment, Fang Jinyu suddenly felt that someone was staring at him.
Fang Jinyu immediately looked over and saw a man in his thirties. At this moment, this man’s eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at him.
After realizing that Fang Jinyu had sensed it, he didn’t look away. Instead, he smiled coldly at Fang Jinyu.
“Could this person be Lin Zhongwu’s son?”
Previously, Fang Jinyu had asked Yin Xiaoxiao to pass a message to Lin Zhongwu. After that, Yin Wujiu asked his subordinates to send Lin Zhongwu’s information to the General Guard’s Residence. It explained in detail that Lin Zhongwu’s purpose was to help his son promote to the Seventh Commander of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City!
The commanders and guards of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City were based on military merits.
There was no upper limit. As long as one had enough military merits, one could advance level by level. As for Fang Jinyu’s military merits, he was still a little short of the position of the Seventh Commander of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.
Fang Jinyu thought to himself.
At this moment, a large flag suddenly rose into the air and transformed into a monstrous aura that directly transformed into a magic domain!
It was the general spirit flag!
The most powerful magic treasure of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.
After activating the general spirit flag, the leaders of the three families of Demon-extinguishing Immortal City began to communicate with the few Sin Beast Kings.
“Fellow Daoists, why did you go back on your words?”
Accompanied by a series of roars coming from underwater, a huge shadow appeared at the bottom of the sea. Then, densely packed eyes appeared from underwater.
A strange voice sounded, “It’s not that we’re going back on our words, but someone came to your Demon-extinguishing Immortal City after a massacre in the Demon-extinguishing Sea. We didn’t want to come either, but those stupid things under the water are rioting. We had no choice but to attack the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.”
The voice wasn’t concealed and spread out loud and clear, so Fang Jinyu heard it clearly at once.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu’s gaze became a little strange.
Fang Jinyu was surprised by the “honesty” of the Sin Beast King, but he was even more surprised by its words. Why did it sound like he did it?
The Core Formation stage cultivators from the three families asked loudly, “Then when will you be willing to retreat?”
“When you kill until those stupid things are scared and no longer dare attack, we will retreat. Just like before, we won’t really make a move.”
As soon as the strange voice faded, the densely packed eyes under the water disappeared.
However, in the next second, countless Sin Beasts surged out of the water. Fang Jinyu was familiar with some, but there were also some that Fang Jinyu had never seen before. These Sin Beasts had no intelligence. Their eyes were scarlet, and a murderous aura surrounded their bodies. They let out all kinds of strange roars and rushed toward the Core Formation stage cultivators here.
The Core Formation stage cultivators of the three families roared, “Everyone, lead your troops and fight separately!” Afterward, they began to fight together with the Core Formation stage cultivators from the same family.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu saw a fireball fly out and burn a few Sin Beasts. The next moment, he saw a large area of ice appear on the other side and frostbite more than 10 Sin Beasts.
A superior-grade spirit sword flew out and turned into a few lights, severely injuring a few Sin Beasts.
A female Core Formation stage cultivator played the lute. As the sound of the lute spread, large groups of Sin Beasts were injured.
There was also a male Core Formation stage cultivator who seemed to be a body cultivator. He cultivated a great physical divine power and directly transformed into a golden giant that was three feet tall. With a punch and a kick, a large number of Sin Beasts were injured.
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Although they all looked like they were showing off their abilities, why did it look like they were just pretending to be powerful?
At this moment, a few Sin Beasts attempted to attack Fang Jinyu, but before they could get close, they were turned into charred corpses by a few bolts of lightning that suddenly appeared.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu thought about it and decided to stay away from those Core Formation stage cultivators.
At this moment, perhaps the burnt corpses of the Sin Beasts had awakened the memories of the other Sin Beasts, or if they saw that Fang Jinyu was about to “run,” a large number of Sin Beasts chased after him.
Seeing it, Fang Jinyu sped up. When he was far enough away, he looked at the dark mass of Sin Beasts under his feet.
Fang Jinyu flicked his sleeve.
“Boom!”
Immediately, the light of lightning erupted. Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, directly drowning the place in a sea of lightning.
When the lightning dissipated, there wasn’t a Sin Beast left in the sea area.
Ever since Fang Jinyu had broken through rank 2 in the Core Formation stage, although he still felt the hindrance of summoning the power of lightning, it wasn’t as hard as when he had just arrived in the upper realm. If he used his divine sense to assist in summoning, he could completely reach the speed of summoning the power of lightning while he was in the Nine Desolations.
Fang Jinyu used his divine sense once to summon the power of lightning!
Afterward, Fang Jinyu’s divine sense swept down, and all the sin cores instantly entered his bag.
Previously, Fang Jinyu didn’t know that the inner core was still useful. Now that he knew, he naturally would not let it go.
After Fang Jinyu took away all the sin cores, he saw three Core Formation stage auras surge over. As soon as they arrived, they surrounded him. It was obvious that they came with ill intentions.
Fang Jinyu took a look and saw that it was the person he had guessed to be Lin Zhongwu’s son.
As for the other two Core Formation stage cultivators, Fang Jinyu didn’t recognize them.
“Fellow, you run fast! Hmph! You’re really something, running away at the last minute?! However, you’ve given me a good opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to kill you!”
Fang Jinyu asked, “Lin Zhongwu is your father?”
“That’s right!”
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but ask, “Then is our enmity that great?” He thought, “Why was the hostility of the people from the upper realm so great? It makes me feel as if I’m returning to the Tianling Sect’s Mount Shidao.”
Back then, Qin Haoyue acted in the same way.
Lin Zhongwu’s son said coldly, “Haha! Who tells you that I can’t kill you just when I don’t have any grudges? Moreover, if you had sold me those few high-grade sin cores, I would have been promoted to commander long ago! Isn’t the grudge of obstructing the path of my promotion enough for me to kill you?”
“What about the two of you?”
“Brat, you should consider yourself unlucky. How dare you offend our Lord General Guard?!” The two Core Formation stage cultivators had no enmity with Fang Jinyu, but Lin Zhongwu’s son had promised them that once he became the Seventh Commander of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City, he would promote them both to general guards.
“In that case, the three of you can die together!”
Purple light flashed around Fang Jinyu’s body, and purple electric snakes swam out. Then, in an instant, they enveloped the three Core Formation stage cultivators.
It was the embryonic form of the heavens and earth magic domains!
“Boom!”
Thunder rumbled.
In the depths of the sky, lightning echoed with Fang Jinyu from afar.
