Chapter 333: Chapter 285: Killings at the Li Family’s Martial Storage (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Ha ha!" Li Boya laughed, looking up, then squinted his eyes and sneered coldly,

"As far as I know, this Colonel holds a Luck Spirit Root, which is coveted by cultivators, millennium-old noble families, and even Cave Heaven Blessed Lands as a Heavenly Treasure. Yet strangely, there’s been no word of this."

He found it odd because at that time, only the powerful individuals close to the projection could have keenly sensed it, combined with the information about Shu’s Luck being reshaped to speculate. Meanwhile, Heavenly Pass’s Powerful Man inside Jingguan City, even if someone noticed something unusual, they didn’t know about Luck, being limited in their knowledge, so they were unaware of the specifics.

Basically, those individuals had swarmed out of the city at that moment, only to be silenced by Chen Yuan in Fulong Mountain thousands of miles away.

As a result, very few knew about this news. The experts currently in Jingguan City are those who arrived later.

Upon hearing this news, Qian Family Master’s expression changed dramatically, revealing a deep look of surprise and uncertainty.

Luck Spirit Root?

He seemed to have heard of it in ancient tomes.

"All you need to do is inform those outsiders you’re in contact with about this message, and naturally, they will be tempted."

Speaking of which, the Li Family’s Martial Storage burst into a mischievous smile, "At the very least!"

"Do you know about the ’Qing Mountain Demon Suppressing Record’? This Colonel has been the Mountain Patrol Military Officer here for a long time. You can completely investigate around, perhaps there’s someone he cares about, forcing the Colonel to hold back out of caution."

With those words, a crack was heard.

The broken bowl in the hands of the Li Family’s Martial Storage was crushed into powder.

Hearing this, Qian Family Master suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his eyes and vigorously clasped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you, senior, for enlightening me. It’s as if you’ve poured enlightenment into me!"

"Go forth!"

"I look forward to hearing good news from you."

"With that said, senior, I shall take my leave!" The Qian Family Master stated respectfully, then turned and with a flicker under his feet, disappeared into the courtyard.

Meanwhile, the Li Family’s Martial Storage watched the direction in which the man vanished. The smile curling at the corners of his mouth gradually deepened into a cold and sinister grimace.

He wouldn’t take direct action because the might of Ninth Mountain’s Colonel made him apprehensive. Without assurance, he would not reveal himself; let these people fight that fellow to the death.

He would sit back and see if he could reap the benefits of the fisherman!

And so, as the sun set, the night slowly descended, and the daytime hubbub of the Ninth Mountain Army’s recruitment gradually subsided.

This night, murky clouds concealed the moon.

In the dark and windy night, in the northeast corner of Jingguan City stood Cuiwei Mountain, a thousand zhang high, with waterfalls and streams and verdant flowing clouds. The Shaking Mountain Sect, one among the Four Sects and Eight Families, dwelt there. It’s said that 500 years ago, the founding master of the sect discovered a Heavenly Person Shaking Mountain Ruins map here that leads directly to the Martial Vault, and hence established the sect. Over 500 years, its status remained firm, and high-ranking experts abound within the sect.

This night, within the sect, the security was extremely stringent. There were disciples patrolling both above and below the mountain, and the atmosphere was visibly tense.

Inside the Sect Master’s hall, where candlelight flickered, Sect Master Yue Heng, possessing Heavenly Pass Taoist cultivation, paced back and forth restlessly.

His master, who had vanished for over a decade, recently emerged from a death-retreat deep in the Shu mountains. According to his master, the skies suddenly cleared as if some restriction had been lifted. The long-stagnant Tao Fruit surged forward, nurturing the Primordial Spirit and surviving the Five Thunders Tribulation, thus ascending to Martial Vault status.

This was supposed to be a joyous occasion.

Yet, the recent events in Jingguan City have stirred up unrest.

That overpowering Nine Colonels, just a few days ago, also confiscated a Heavenly Pass Elder from the Shaking Mountain Sect. He had intended to ask the Government Administrative Office for their favor in retrieving his elder, but was fiercely reprimanded by his master who had just broken through to Martial Vault status with elevated spirit.

He said that it would undermine the might of Shaking Mountain Sect, and would personally demand an explanation in the future!

Right now, rumors of Ninth Mountain taking action against the noble families were growing more intense, and today was a clear indication. He hesitated, feeling it wasn’t wise to get involved and weaken their stance by sending disciples to Ninth Mountain, but now his aged and ambitious master had emerged from seclusion and dismissed his opinion, leaving him without a say.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out from outside the door.

A Mountain Guardian of the sect hurried in and addressed Yue Heng with both hands in a gesture of respect.

"Sect Master, a Mountain Guarding Disciple at the base of the mountain reports that someone claiming to be a close friend of yours has come to visit the mountain!"

"Who?" Yue Heng stopped his pacing, turning his gaze to ask.

"It is I!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

As the words fell, amidst the flickering candlelight outside the hall, an elder Daoist wearing a black Daoist headdress, a green Daoist robe, holding a whisk, with a sword strapped to his back, stepped forward revealing his presence.

"Sect Master Yue, long no see and in good health!"

The sect’s disciplinarian startled at the sight, the intruder had slipped through the mountain’s prohibition and infiltrated undetected, raising questions about his intentions. Just as he was about to reprimand,

He saw Sect Master Yue Heng looking at the arriving Daoist and waved off the disciplinarian, "This is the widely acclaimed Temple Master Li Boya, one of the Weiyuan Eight Heroes. Show some respect, you may leave now."

The disciplinarian heard this introduction and took a closer look. Recalling the fame of the Weiyuan Eight Heroes, he was shocked.

This was one of the fierce men who followed Jiushan’s Colonel and made a great slaughter on the Demon Battlefield.

"Yes!" Full of envy and awe for earning such recognition in a lifetime, he gave a saluting gesture to the individual and then retreated.

Meanwhile, Yue Heng, now alone, quickly moved forward with a trace of astonishment on his face, "Brother Guan Yi, you have actually broken through to the Tao Fruit."
