Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 99 Substitute Attack
In the dark night.

Under the moonlight, the lanterns in the city lord's mansion emitted a faint glow.

At this moment, the city lord's mansion was like a giant beast ready to devour its prey, exuding immense oppressive power.

The group followed the fat monk into the city lord's mansion.

One by one, the lights next to the city lord's mansion were lit.

In an instant, it became as bright as day.

They entered the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

A burly monk sat at the very top, wielding a golden sword and riding a golden horse.

He sits to the left of the senior monk.

Then there was Leng Anxia, ​​who wore a veil.

She was dressed in a white dress, looking pure and elegant, with no expression between her brows. It was hard to imagine that such a fairy-like figure was actually the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

Moreover, he is different from Zhou Wudao.

Leng Anxia has completed her foundation building, reportedly through the use of five magical techniques.

This is why she was able to become the sect's holy maiden.

At this moment, she sat quietly in her seat, ignoring the arrival of Zhang Yan and the others.

It's as if they don't care at all.

Behind her were two Golden Core cultivators.

There is also a bed.

Lying on the bed was Zhou Wudao.

When Zhou Wudao saw Zhang Yan, his face immediately turned ferocious.

"Zhang Yan, do you know your crime!"

As the group entered the main hall...

The head monk, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly put down his teacup.

A powerful aura pressed down on everyone.

This aura is formless and intangible, yet it can easily shatter one's Dao heart and crush one like a mountain pressing down on them.

If it is a person with weak willpower.

Faced with such a sudden interrogation, coupled with overwhelming force, one is very likely to confess everything.

however.

Zhang Yan was terrified by the opponent's imposing aura.

But he looked at Master Da Wenhai with a blank expression: "What crime have I committed?"

"If Zhou Wudao's threats don't work, you'll strike first and severely injure him, won't you?"

Upon seeing Zhang Yan's reaction, Master Wenhai's voice became even more piercing, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

"what!"

"Brother Zhou was seriously injured? Who did it? Why wasn't he killed?"

Zhang Yan was first shocked, then turned to look at Master Wenhai.

"Master, please judge. I am only at the tenth level of Qi Refining, while Brother Zhou is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. How could I possibly have ambushed him?"

What's more, he was seriously injured?
"Master, you're really flattering your disciple too much," Zhang Yan said, behaving like an obedient disciple.

"Have you hired anyone else?" Wenhai already had the answer in his heart when he asked this question.

He had just scanned Zhang Yan with his divine sense.

The opponent's cultivation level is not high, and he doesn't have any treasures. Although his magical power is somewhat strange, he is definitely no match for Zhou Wudao.

Furthermore, according to intelligence, Zhang Yan and his group had been staying at the Red Flower Pavilion and had not had any contact with anyone.

So it's highly unlikely to be him.

the most important is……

Those who had previously investigated the traces have already reported back to him.

Judging from the magical artifacts used nearby and the remaining magical power, they were not from the Qingheng Sect at all.

In other words.

Whether it's Zhang Yan or the Qingheng faction, they are not highly suspicious.

Therefore, calling them over for questioning was the best Wen Hai could do.

Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, it is impossible to bully other cultivators without limit.

First of all, he has a sense of shame.

Secondly, the Qingheng Sect also possesses considerable strength.

Although he doesn't have a Nascent Soul stage, he belongs to the Zhao state's power.

The State of Zhao falls within the sphere of influence of the Palace of Ten Thousand Flowers.

If there is a legitimate reason, questioning is certainly permissible, but it is wrong to use force against someone based on unfounded suspicions.

Then Wanhua Palace must stand up and support its little brother.

Overall, although the cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world where the strong prey on the weak and the victor reigns supreme, it is also a world of its own, requiring understanding of human relationships and social dynamics.

"I have been drinking at the Red Flower Pavilion all along. The Red Flower Pavilion is owned by the Hehuan Sect. You can find out by asking. I have never had time to hire anyone."

"I urge the master to investigate this thoroughly!" Zhang Yan said with a serious expression.

"Alright, since that's the case, you can all go back now. But this matter must be kept secret; I don't want any word of it to leak out." Wen Hai said, glancing at everyone.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, everyone became serious.

They all assured that there would be absolutely no problems.

Just as they were about to leave, Zhou Wudao struggled to get out of bed and glared fiercely at Zhang Yan.

It made a "woo-woo-woo" sound.

"Crack~"

Before Zhang Yan and the others could make any statement.

Leng Anxia narrowed her eyes, and the Golden Core cultivator beside her immediately took Zhou Wudao away.

……

Returning from the City Lord's Mansion in Taigu City.

Whether it's Lei Kunhai, Lei Wanbao, or any other Golden Core cultivator.

Everyone was covered in sweat.

This is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Don't be fooled by their status as Golden Core cultivators; they act like patriarchs and ancestors in public.

But in reality, compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator, he is nothing more than an ant.

Cultivating immortality is just like this.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and the greater the difference in strength between the two becomes.

A Nascent Soul cultivator striking a Golden Core cultivator is like Mike Tyson striking a baby.

……

We came out of Taikoo City.

They returned to their base.

Zhang Yan, Lei Kunhai, and the others all cowered in fear.

This will not be shared further.

Instead, they waited quietly for the auction to begin.

at the same time.

Taikoo Shing is now under complete martial law.

After Zhou Wudao was attacked, the formation of Taigu City was already activated.

Now, patrol teams are searching everywhere.

They wanted to find the accomplices of the person who attacked Zhou Wudao.

But it's a pity...

There was absolutely nothing gained.

But the patrol team can't really have nothing to offer.

They simply cleaned up Taikoo Shing.

What's all this trouble-making about?

deceptive.

And various disputes.

Arrest them all first, then we'll talk.

For a while.

Taikoo Shing was noticeably cleaner.

……

"What a pity." Zhang Yan took the mud doll out of his equipment inventory.

[Equipment Name]: Substitute Clay Doll
[Equipment Level]: Tier 2 (Non-Spiritual Weapon)

[Equipment Quality]: Purple
[Equipment Effects]: Substitute Attack (After equipping, a substitute will be created; whatever attack the main character uses, the substitute will generate the same attack.), Self-Destruction (If the substitute clay doll encounters an opponent it cannot defeat, it will self-destruct.), Clay Doll (When the clay doll is destroyed, the karmic connection between you will end.)
The clay doll is broken.

It can no longer be used.

This mud doll is a rather unique piece of equipment that he had collected before.

After equipping it, a clone that looks exactly like him can be created.

Moreover, this stand-in uses his abilities.

The opponent will use whatever power is generated within his body.

For example, that small, yellowish-brown seal.

Normally, it would be impossible to defeat the opponent's semi-spiritual weapon by brute force.

Zhang Yan was drinking at the time.

However, it kept using its body's magical power to attack.

Furthermore, it benefits from the equipment slot system.

Only then can we deal with the opponent's semi-spiritual weapon.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't kill him!

but!

Escaping this time doesn't mean you can escape next time.
