Chapter 87: Misfortune

【The challenge of the blessed land has begun, blessed land thirty-one, the Lord of Lexi has initiated a challenge. Will you accept the challenge?】Today is April 15th, also the day of the monthly blessed land challenge.

If Jiang Wang does not accept the challenge before the end of today, it will be considered as forfeit and the blessed land will be downgraded.

【Accept the challenge!】

In the 30th ranked Lankeshan blessed land, Jiang Wang soared into the starry river with his sword.

The sword platform merged, and the battle arena formed.

In front of Jiang Wang appeared a blurry-faced monk, with flowing light embroidered on his robe.

The monk clasped his hands in a salute: "You fool, come and fight Buddha!"

His posture was respectful, but his words were unfiltered.

This inexplicable guy stunned Jiang Wang for a moment. Fortunately, he was quick, and two flames had already flown out.

"Monks should not speak ill."

Jiang Wang leaped forward, his crown of thorns flashing and disappearing, instantly stirring the wood energy within the monk, binding the tiger with his Dao technique!

However, he saw that the monk stretched lazily in place, seemingly completely unaffected by the bound tiger.

He continued to curse: "Shut up, brat. With so much hair, what do you know about monks?"

And with his fingers pointing, he effortlessly dispersed the flames.

Jiang Wang's long sword arrived, and the purple aura surged and boiled.

Clang!

Two fingers shining with golden light clamped the sword.

The monk continued to curse: "You are too weak. Are you still reserving your strength when facing Buddha?"

With a flick of his fingers, he pulled Jiang Wang and his sword towards him.

Then he punched.

Flowers bloomed, competing for beauty.

A sea of Dao techniques. A temporary battlefield created to confuse the enemy and gain an advantage.

The fist suddenly burst into golden light.

The flowers withered and turned into nothingness. The entire sea of Dao techniques condensed into flowers was shattered by a single punch!

The fist landed lightly on Jiang Wang's chest, but only pushed him forward gently.

"Amitabha..." The monk chanted the Buddha's name softly, with a devout and warm tone.

The next sentence was: "Weakling, Buddha will give you another chance! Use all your means!"

The blessed land challenge is different from a match because of the inheritance of the blessed land left by Zuo Guanglie. The opponents encountered are all far higher in cultivation level than him.

Jiang Wang instinctively wanted to use his unique Three Sword Style, but he suddenly heard the voice of Zhu Biqiong from the Fishing Sea Tower: "Jiang Daoist, something's wrong!"

When in the Illusory Void Realm, one does not completely lose the sense of their physical body in the real world.

It is more like the state when you are completely focused on doing something. Your mind is fully absorbed in that thing, paying less attention to the outside world. But if there is any movement, you can still catch it in time.

With a thought, Jiang Wang immediately admitted defeat and withdrew from the battle.

His cultivation level is far from enough, and using the Three Sword Style would only result in defeat. At this time, there is something happening outside. Although the Illusory Void Realm is good, the real self outside the illusion is the foundation, the boat to cross the sea of suffering.

"Hey hey hey, why are you running away, you cowardly turtle? Don't you dare show your true strength against Lord Buddha?"

Suddenly, in the empty arena, the monk stomped his feet a few times in annoyance.

【Successfully entered the Lankeshan blessed land and became the Lord of Lankeshan!】

Even the prompt for successfully completing the blessed land challenge did not improve his mood.

...

Jiang Wang put aside the notification of being downgraded to the Lexi blessed land. He pushed open the door and looked at the nervous Zhu Biqiong outside: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Biqiong nervously said, "I have a fortune and misfortune ball on me, it's a treasure left to me by my sister. It needs to be sealed most of the time and can only be used once a month. My sister told me to use it in the middle of the month. From the perspective of luck, this time period usually has more changes and can help me avoid danger. I just used it for no reason..."

She rambled on for a while before taking out a crystal ball the size of a fist.

"Take a look." Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

She opened her palm and let Jiang Wang observe.

"Red represents fortune, black represents misfortune."

On this crystal ball, half of it was still translucent, while the other half had a rapidly spreading black color.

What a treasure that can detect fortune and misfortune!

Zhu Biqiong's sister, who was trapped in the Tianfu Secret Realm, really took great care of her.

"What does so much misfortune mean?" Jiang Wang asked.

"It means there is a great danger approaching." Zhu Biqiong thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and wanted to run away. "I better run first."

Jiang Wang suddenly turned his head and grabbed her hand: "Come back!"

"Why are you holding my hand..." Zhu Biqiong suddenly became shy, her face slightly red. "What are you doing..."

"..."

It's already this time, and his mind is filled with all sorts of nonsense.

Jiang Wang let go of her hand with a flick, leaving only one sentence: "Hurry and go!"

And he had already leaped far away.

At this moment, Zhu Biqiong no longer hesitated. With Jiang Wang's departure, she also felt that there was a chaotic and oppressive aura approaching in the direction of the mine entrance.

The dogs kept in the mine began to bark uncontrollably.

...

In Jiacheng, in the small courtyard where Jiang Wang had been before.

Xi Zichu was still calmly arranging the wine.

Hu Shaomeng sat across from him, his expression anxious: "Jiang Wang seems to have made up his mind to stay until the mine vein is exhausted. What are you planning to do?"

"What can I plan?" Xi Zichu took a sip of wine, his expression playful. "Let's wait and see."

"If we keep waiting, you won't get anything!" Hu Shaomeng gritted his teeth. "We can join forces. Maybe we can. When the time comes, no matter who gets the treasure, we can hide in our own sect. What can the Chongxuan Family do? Can they start a war for a servant?"

Xi Zichu clicked his tongue: "I'm getting more and more curious now. What exactly is hidden in that Tianqing Stone vein that is worth it for you? Even to the extent of abandoning everything the Hu Family has in Qingyang Town?"

Hu Shaomeng instantly restrained his expression, appearing very alert."No matter what it is, since you've placed a bet, you surely want to win, don't you? Are you just going to watch as the Zhongxuan family takes it away?"

"Hmm, what you said does make sense. So, what do you propose we do?"

"You gather the experts from the Xi family, and we'll head straight to the mine and surround Jiang Wang. Remember, please ask the experts from the Soaring Dragon Realm of your Xi family to help, it would be best if the city lord could take action personally. Jiang Wang is not an ordinary cultivator of the Tongtian Realm, he has defeated the prince of Daqi, Jiang Wuyong. If he escapes, we're all done for. We'll end up with nothing!"

"If all the experts from our Xi family are dispatched, what will you use to compete with me? Could it be that you've found a powerful backer during this period?"

Hu Shaomeng remained calm, "First, we deal with the envoy of the Zhongxuan family, then we each rely on our own abilities. Isn't this the consensus we reached?"

"Although that's true, but..." Xi Zichu seemed to ponder for a moment, then looked at Hu Shaomeng and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let me guess... Hmm, the thing you're waiting for is about to appear? Today? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"

......

Leaving the Hu family's mine, there was only one official road that led directly to Qingyang Town. It wasn't until they reached the outskirts of Qingyang Town that there was a fork in the road that could be turned onto the official road from Qingyang Town to Jiacheng.

At this moment, at the entrance of the mine, there was a chubby figure who followed this official road to its end.

This person had appeared in a certain tavern in Jiacheng, and had been to many places in the streets and alleys, but at those times, he had shown his true face.

Only at this moment, he was wearing a pig bone mask on his face.

Because he came to find an "old friend".

Naturally, he had to use an "old face".
