Chapter 222 Locusts crossing the border
Chapter 222 Locusts crossing the border
All the Jindan stage elders in the alliance saw the Yang family ancestor rushing in first, and they all hurriedly followed.
The huge siege troops below also started fighting fiercely. Flying bridges were laid on the trenches, rows of troop transports approached quickly, battering rams rammed the walls of the Dai family's inner courtyard, ladders were set up in the blink of an eye, and hooks were thrown up in a few strokes.
All the monks in the alliance had red eyes and shouted loudly, fearing that they would fall behind and miss out on the good stuff.
The Dai family members on the wall fought desperately, fearing that this group of hungry wolves would rush in and tear them to pieces. They threw stones and rolling logs wildly. Some sharp-eyed people held pitchforks to block the ladders, and some carried large basins to pour boiling soup down. The archers on the arrow tower never stopped.
A large group of people behind the courtyard wall tried their best to hold the gate and fight against the battering ram outside the wall, but after all, no matter how defensive you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. Among the 72 forces of the Lujiang League, there was actually a traitor lying in ambush and supporting them, and a hole was opened in the inner courtyard of the Dai family without them knowing.
Once this hole was opened, it was a disaster. Everyone outside went crazy and rushed in desperately.
"Kill~~~"
"Go go go go go!!!"
"Ouch~~~~"
"Grab him!"
"I burn, burn, burn~~~"
……
Everyone howled and yelled, and swarmed into the Dai family. Those who didn't know would think they were evil villains. They were even more brutal than bandits.
Some of the monks who had been influenced by Confucian academies since childhood were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They stood there at a loss, but no one was willing to wait for them. They all wanted to rush in and grab everything.
Some people may have suppressed their inner desires for too long, and set fires everywhere as soon as they entered. They may simply want to cause damage.
Lin Shan and his companions were also not idle. They brought a group of men from the Lin Chamber of Commerce and drove their puppet chariots recklessly. Master Zhan Kong and a dozen of his disciples hurriedly jumped on and took a ride again.
But the car was too crowded, and it was difficult to even turn around. Lin Shan looked at the old man with a frown, why is he still relying on me?
Master Zhan Kong stroked his beard with a smile: "My old arms and legs can't run anymore. President Lin, don't you mind if I stay a good guy?"
Lin Shan cursed inwardly, "You've already squeezed in, how can I chase you away?"
After all, he is a master of formations, with a respected status and wide social connections. Lin Shan wants to set up his own business in the future, and thinking that more friends mean more paths, he has no choice but to accept it.
In the flying dust behind them, fifty or sixty formation masters from various schools were chasing after them, panting and shouting loudly.
"Master Zhankong, please wait for us! President Lin, please stop the car and give us a ride!"
Lin Shan turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear. Instead, he ordered his men to increase their spiritual power output and increase the speed of the car.
At this time, after breaking through the surface with a point, the Dai family's inner courtyard defense line had been completely breached, so they simply found a nearby side door and rushed through.
"Bang~"
The bronze puppet chariot shook violently, and the hundreds of people on board were all shaken badly.
When everyone looked carefully, they found that the door was not wide enough. The car was crammed with so many people that it looked bloated and out of shape, and they were stuck outside.
There was no other choice, so Lin Shan had to lead his men to take action themselves and break into the house violently.
As soon as you enter the inner courtyard of the Dai family, your vision suddenly opens up and becomes clear.
Not far away stands a huge sacred mountain, with palaces and pavilions located around the foot of the mountain, staggered and arranged in an orderly manner. There are also small bridges, flowing water, ancient workshops and art galleries, which presents a poetic and picturesque Jiangnan style.
However, at this time, the armies of the Lujiang League on the periphery also broke through one after another, and after rushing in, they screamed and scattered in all directions. This beautiful and elegant painting seemed to be stained with ink and spread in an instant.
The flames of war spread far away. Lin Shan did not hesitate for too long. Under the anxious gaze of everyone, he simply chose a direction based on his feeling and rushed in.
The spiritual light in the sky was still shining, and the Jindan masters in the alliance were still fighting with the top leaders of the Dai family.
There were still three fire pillars left in the Chongyang Sky Pillar Formation, which were brought back by Shanyangzi and Chenglongzi and placed together. Together with the Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family, they resisted, and the power of Chongyang in the sky increased greatly.
The Dai family is also a giant family and also has a trump card. Under the control of the clan elders, they have temporarily pinned down a group of high-level people in the alliance. However, due to the huge gap in the number of Jindan stage people, it seems that they will not be able to hold on for long.
At this moment, the pupils of several elders of the Dai family in the tower suddenly moved slightly, as if they had received some instructions through voice transmission. They listened for a moment without changing their expressions, and went downstairs silently, and then seemed to make some arrangements for their retreat.
……
"Grumble~~~"
"Squeak~squeak~"
The bronze puppet chariot groaned as it was overloaded. It was carrying more than a hundred people, and the ground was in chaos.
The Dai family did not sit back and wait for death, but pulled out all the clan's strength. Crossbow carts with arrows flying like locusts were everywhere on the road, cannons were rumbling, traps were elusive, various prohibitions were rebounding, various spirit beasts were drugged and violent, and some clan members were even determined to fight to the death.
Lin Shan was a man of great skill and courage. He led a group of men to brave the hail of bullets and arrows. Amid the shouts of these rookies, they charged into the enemy lines, waded through mines and crossed rivers, and overcame countless difficulties and obstacles. Finally, they killed their way through the enemy lines and reached the rear.
Master Zhankong crouched down, and only dared to emerge when he saw that it was safe outside. He couldn't help but praise:
"President Lin is the bravest among the three armies. He is extremely courageous and has the qualities of a hero!"
Lin Shan was very modest: "Master, thank you for your praise. It's just a small scene, not worth mentioning~"
A dozen or so East Sea Demon Dao brothers behind him also showed up:
"What's this? Back then, the boss led us in and out of the army of hundreds of thousands in Bianliang seven times."
"Eh~"
Lin Shan pretended to be profound and waved his hand to tell them not to talk nonsense. As the saying goes, a hero does not brag about his past achievements, and his former identity as a demon should not be publicized.
Master Zhan Kong and the others were curious. They had never heard of what Bianliang was and wanted to hear them talk more about it, but they had more important tasks to do at the moment so they had to put it aside for the time being.
At this time, the bronze puppet chariot under his feet was full of potholes, and the two puppet soldiers on the chariot were missing limbs, and even the weapons in their hands were rolled, but they were still firm and standing straight.
The two puppet war horses pulling the carriage in front were covered in wounds, with gray smoke coming out of their nostrils. Their four legs were carrying hundreds of people forward, one deep and one shallow, as usual, coming and going like the wind.
It’s true, the quality is absolutely top-notch!
Master Zhankong couldn't help but praise: "What kind of car is this? Not only is the quality so good, but the key is that it can also hold so much!"
Lin Shan was very proud in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface:
"The Lin's Chamber of Commerce's special chariot, of course it can be installed!"
The group of East Sea Demon Dao brothers behind him started to show off again: "This car has been in and out of the army of hundreds of thousands in Bianliang seven times. Master Hei Ku also drove it to charge into the battle. There was even a Yuanying hidden in the car at that time."
"Eh~"
Lin Shan waved his hand again, signaling them to stop bragging too much.
Master Zhankong and the others were again in doubt, thinking that the young president of the Lin's Chamber of Commerce seemed to be hiding something very deep, with a legendary past and an unknown identity. They just didn't know why he was so low-key.
At this time, Mu Yan, Wu Hanqiao and others behind Lin Shan suddenly shouted and pointed forward:
"Look, look, what a huge spiritual field!"
Everyone looked in that direction and discovered an open field at the foot of the mountain ahead. Terraces were arranged on the ridges, all filled with golden rice, each grain full and filled with a fresh fragrance.
From a distance it looks like a golden ocean, a breeze blows, and the fields are undulating and charming. It is obviously the production area of Dai family's high-end Linggu.
Some Lujiang League troops who had already broken in here, could not help but rush in when they saw the spiritual field, took out sacks and started filling them with rice!
Mu Yan, Wu Hanqiao and others shouted and screamed, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"President, we are going to publish it~"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. If you're any slower you'll be too late. I've got the sack ready!"
"Who is that idiot over there who actually set fire to the spiritual field!"
"Go put out the fire first. This much spiritual grain is enough for our Chamber of Commerce to eat for twenty years!"
……
Lin Shan glanced at the young people around him speechlessly, slapped them all with a slap, and scolded them angrily:
"Look at what you have accomplished! You finally came out to rob people, but now you're eyeing this little spiritual valley?"
Master Zhankong also pointed at his disciples angrily:
"How much are spiritual fields and spiritual valleys worth? Can't you be a little more ambitious? You are giving up the big for the small, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!"
"That's right!"
Lin Shan took over the conversation: "The Dai family is a giant family in the world of cultivation. There are countless good things in the family. The spiritual field is just the most basic and the least valuable thing. You have to change your petty and greedy character!"
"Keep going!"
The bronze puppet chariot did not stop at all, rumbling across the paths in the fields, bending countless crops and even leaving a series of ruts at the top of the ridges.
A group of monks from other forces in the alliance rushed over from behind, scrambling to harvest the spiritual grains.
Mu Yan, Wu Hanqiao, and the apprentices under Master Zhan Kong all watched the group of people packing sacks, their envy evident in words.
There was no way. They were all newbies in the Qi training stage and had not seen much of the world. They thought that a sack of high-quality spiritual grains was worth dozens of spirit stones. A little bit of money would add up to a huge sum for them. Their values were completely incomparable to those of Lin Shan and Master Zhan Kong.
Lin Shan was extremely wealthy, so naturally he looked down upon these trifles. Master Zhan Kong, as a master of formations, could make a lot of money just by repairing a formation, so he also looked down upon this.
The team continued to move forward, and after crossing the fields, they saw a group of Dai family members in front of them forming a battle array to resist, trying their best to protect a hall. A small group of Lujiang League troops outside were unable to take the hall.
"Weapon Refining Workshop".
When everyone saw the plaque in the hall, their eyes lit up again and they all looked at the boss.
Lin Shan's heart also moved. This time he could have some meat. He cleared his throat and shouted to the front:
"This weapon refinery is reserved by our Chamber of Commerce. All outsiders please leave immediately!"
The two groups of people who were fighting fiercely in the weapon refining workshop were stunned for a moment.
Who is this, so crazy?
Then he pointed at this side and cursed:
"This is my Dai family's territory, you shameless little thief, do you still want to occupy my place?" "Stop, this weapon refinery has been taken by our Canghai Chamber of Commerce, get out of here!"
Without saying a word, Lin Shan drove his chariot towards the two sides, and his men behind him also responded to the attack.
Both sides were shocked by this and had to stop temporarily and work together to face the outside world.
But at this time, except for the Jindan stage cultivators in the sky, people like Lin Shan and Master Zhankong who were in the late foundation building stage could basically walk sideways on the ground, and no one could stop them.
With just one charge, the two groups of troops were killed and scattered, and everyone fled with injuries.
"Bang~Bang!~"
The door of the weapon refining workshop was directly knocked open, and the bronze puppet chariot drove in violently. Countless weapon refining tools and magical materials came into view in the hall.
"This is a top-grade refining furnace!"
"Look, Han Bin is hitting the hammer!"
"That, could it be the Soul Tempering Pool?"
"Oh my god, the Yiduan load-bearing platform!"
"Spirit Flame Bellows!"
"Gilded vise!"
"Open the spirit and cut the golden scissors!"
……
The group of people all shouted excitedly. They had only seen this kind of high-end refining equipment and tool production line in books, and this was the first time they saw the real thing.
"What are you standing there for? Go pick it up!"
Lin Shan looked at Master Zhan Kong and his disciples without saying a word, and simply jumped out of the car to search the loot. His men were still shaking their heads and commenting, so he couldn't help but kick them all down one by one.
Next, screams were heard continuously in the hall. Deep in the hall, there were a large number of magical weapons that had just been made and were being tempered in the cooling pool. They were not taken away by the Dai family monks.
"Red gold armor!"
"Dark Bamboo Thorn!"
"Green bone chain!"
"Black Stone Dart!"
"White Jade Cover!"
……
They put the finished and semi-finished magic tools into their pockets, and their excitement was beyond words.
Seeing that his men had almost finished the looting, Lin Shan quickly asked them to get in the car. After all, the Dai family had many weapon refineries, and this was just an insignificant one among them, so it was not appropriate to waste too much time on it.
"Bang!~~Crash~~"
The bronze puppet chariot directly smashed the back door of the hall and continued to move deeper.
They encountered waves of small battles along the way, and the situation was basically one-sided. The Dai family was outnumbered and had to fight and retreat.
The Lujiang League burned, killed and looted as they advanced. Although their actions were no different from those of bandits, there was no rape of the women of the Dai family. It might be that the customs in Lu did not encourage such things, or it might be that they just could not take care of it.
Basically, they were killed with one strike, and that was it, without too many complications.
What was depressing was that they robbed several weapon refineries on the way, and somehow Master Zhankong and his gang were able to climb back into their vehicles in time every time they came back from the robberies. Lin Shan secretly cursed the old guy for being shameless.
He had hinted at it many times, but because the other party was a VIP invited by the four great families in Wangyue City and had status and influence, it was not easy to drive him away openly. But this old guy was very old and extremely thick-skinned.
After fighting for a distance, the weapon refining workshop in front was no longer there, but rows of attics. Three big red characters were engraved on a large bluestone outside.
"Alchemy Building".
Master Zhan Kong, who was standing next to him, was more nimble than anyone else despite his age. He immediately whipped the puppet warhorse, automatically took over the role of coachman, and drove the car for Lin Shan into the Alchemy Building.
The building was in a mess at this time, everyone was scrambling for pills, and some people with bad tempers were even fighting.
Lin Shan and Master Zhan Kong acted separately, leading their men to jump out of the car and search. Not only were there various alchemy rooms here, but there was also an area for displaying finished pills.
"This is Taichisan, which can assist in practicing fire magic!"
"Dinghui tea, brewing a pot can help you concentrate and clear your mind for half a month!"
"Lock Dragon Pill, when practicing dual cultivation, you can use external force to lock the Yangguan to ensure that the Yuanyang is not lost!"
"Vajra Drink, after taking it, your whole body will be full of strength!"
"Hunyuan Soup, after drinking it, you can recover most of your spiritual power."
"Purple Cloud Pill, after taking it, you can control the purple cloud and fly!"
……
Cries of surprise echoed in the building. All the cultivators, while scrambling for the pills, were also memorizing their effects according to the labels. Otherwise, they would grab a lot but not know what they were good for.
Some people also discovered elixirs that aided in cultivation during the foundation-building period, similar to the "Bi Luo Dan" and "Qian Yuan Dan" that Lin Shan had taken before. This instantly caused a bunch of people to scramble for them, and it eventually turned into a big fight.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators risked their lives to get this thing, and began to fight against each other, causing the entire building to shake. Small bottles fell from the wooden shelves upstairs, and red, yellow, blue, and green pills rolled all over the ground.
Lin Shan didn't have time to care about those things. He broke into several alchemy rooms in succession and stole several large alchemy furnaces, one of which was a high-level magical weapon.
However, he didn't find a single magic-level alchemy furnace, which made him shake his head and sigh.
After all, if he wants to refine precious pills and spiritual pills, the success rate will be several times higher if he has an alchemy furnace of magic weapon or spiritual treasure level. Maybe it can save him a lot of ancient rhyme in the future. However, this thing is not easy to obtain, so he did not hold out much hope.
Next, relying on his strength in the late stage of foundation building, Lin Shan forcibly snatched a bunch of bottles and jars, and then left the alchemy building with a group of people.
After coming out, I obviously found that there were more and more people around. I guess the rear area has been almost looted, and everyone is racing against time, scrambling to grab resources.
After searching several alchemy buildings again, I heard someone shouting in front of me:
“Scripture Pavilion! There is a Sutra Pavilion hidden in the maple forest ahead!”
Everyone looked into the distance and found that there was indeed a red maple forest on the hillside not far away, and there seemed to be a different world inside.
"Yuyu~~"
"Da Da Da~~ Lu Lu~~"
A bronze chariot rushed out without a word, carrying more than a hundred people, all of whom were sweating profusely and glancing forward with excitement. The wheels left a deep wheel mark on the ground because of the excessive weight.
The monks around were all looking at each other in amazement, whispering to each other:
"What kind of car is this? It can hold so much?"
"I don't know. It looks like he is very good at pretending."
"How about we take a ride too?"
"Walking and walking~"
……
The monks from the alliance on both sides flew over and climbed onto the sides of the car like ants.
Lin Shan and Master Zhan Kong were on the left and right, each holding the reins and driving the puppet warhorse. At the beginning, they were running very fast, but later they became slower and slower. The two of them immediately felt something was wrong and quickly looked back.
Only then did I realize that there were a bunch of people hanging around on both sides of the car!
That's almost two hundred people.
The guys from Lin's Chamber of Commerce were in a panic, pinching the fingers of the people who were trying to pry the car off the eaves, but they couldn't pry them apart, and they were sweating profusely in anxiety.
The two puppet war horses in front were snorting with exhaustion, and almost dropped their loads and knelt down.
Fortunately, the maple forest was not far away and they arrived there in a short while. The whole mountain was covered with red and the forest was dyed red. Among the shadows, they actually found a bamboo house.
"Scripture Repository".
Everyone cheered in unison and jumped down quickly.
In the world of cultivation, hard currency such as skills and secret techniques are a kind of knowledge monopoly. If one wants to achieve class transition, all external things such as wealth, friends, skills, land, magic weapons and elixirs must be put aside!
What they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived here, a group of people just walked out of the bamboo building.
They are all members of the Dai family.
Each of these people is very young, with profound cultivation. They are obviously the elite of the Dai family. They have just emptied the Sutra Library under the leadership of several elders. It seems that they are preparing to retreat?
"..."
Both sides were stunned for a moment, and the situation suddenly became delicate.
