Chapter 109: Vicious Incident, Guanlan Fairy City
Northeast of the Ichthyosaur Islands, somewhere near the outer ring of the middle ring.

"I wonder which fellow Daoist blocked my path? If my Wan family has offended me in any way, please speak up. I will apologize if I owe you any apology. I will never be impolite."

The old man did not stay after successfully bidding for the Foundation Establishment Pill. He left the auction as soon as he got the Pill.

The auction has its own rules. Only guests who successfully bid for the items can leave early. Guests who have not gained anything need to wait until the end of the auction before leaving together.

Moreover, different waves of guests need to stagger their departure times to reduce the possibility of guests being robbed and killed.

However, it is obvious that there are countermeasures for every policy.

The old man who had disguised himself and separated from his juniors was still stopped by someone.

He was even blocked not far from his home. It was obvious that there must be something wrong with his incompetent junior. He should have beaten him to death.

"Don't play dumb, you old fool. You know what I want. If you hand it over honestly, I won't kill you. Otherwise, today will be the day your family will be destroyed!"

"Shameless lunatic! My Wan family has never held grudges against anyone. The Lin family has expressly forbidden attacks between factions without mortal enmity. You are trampling on the order of the Lin family! Aren't you afraid that the Lin family will hunt you down for thousands of miles?"

"Haha~ Who the hell are the Lin family? They're nothing but bandits. How can they talk to me about order?"

"Since you won't cooperate, I'll just send you down!"

Although this place was far away from the Lin family, Jie Xiu understood that he had to fight quickly and decisively, so he attacked with all his strength and tried to kill the old man. In other words, he had no intention of letting the old man who was building the foundation live.

"Oops!"

Of course the old man who was building the foundation would not give away the foundation-building pill for nothing. This was the last hope of the family. He originally wanted to scare the enemy and delay the time to see if he could find a turning point.

I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. What's even more terrible is that the other party was extremely ruthless. It was obvious that he was out for money and to kill people.

"I'll fight you!"

The old man who has established his foundation is very old and is not far from passing away. If he does not take action, it will be fine. Perhaps he can still live for a few more years. Once he uses all his strength, his energy and spirit will begin to dissipate, and he will pass away soon after stopping. Therefore, he must injure the opponent.

This will ensure that the other party will not rob the Wan family's land again, and it will be easy for the Lin family to find the other party when they investigate.

"Sorrowful Palm!"

Although the two men had similar cultivation levels, the dying old man was no match for the middle-aged man who had just established his foundation. The old man could only use all his strength to leave a huge gray palm print on the opponent before he died.

"Pah~ I even got bit by a mosquito."

Jie Xiu collected the spoils, and especially after confirming that the foundation-building pills were genuine, he had to leave without even having time to deal with the scene.

An hour later,

The criminal law elder of the Lin family in Xiancheng rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as he received the relevant information.

"Absolutely lawless!"

As the local overlord, the Lin family's purchase of the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Lin family's formal channels should have meant that the Lin family had agreed to promote a new Foundation Establishment substitute through this method to complete the inheritance.

Stealing this foundation-building pill is a slap in the face of the Lin family!

Moreover, the Lin family had previously warned all local foundation-building families not to cause trouble recently. They all agreed in unison one moment, but the next moment they started killing people and stealing treasures. There was no order at all.

What's even more outrageous is that the other party didn't even clean up the battle scene and just left it here. This is a provocation to the Lin Family Law Enforcement Hall's ability to handle cases.

"I will definitely catch you!"

Locking onto the southeast direction, the Criminal Law Elder ignored the crying and bewildered cultivators from the Wan family and flew straight into the air.

Why was he so sure that it was done by a local monk?
Since the Black Dragon Emperor's death, the Fish Dragon Islands have been extremely strict in managing foreign cultivators:
Any visitor can only enter and exit from the unified waterway in the north and can only dock at the Yulong Immortal City. Every foundation-building cultivator who enters the Yulong Immortal City is under the supervision of the Lin family and is not allowed to run away without permission.

During critical periods, severe punishments are always imposed. Foreign cultivators certainly do not want to become the target of the Lin family's authority, so they act very cautiously.

"Huh? What happened? The aura is gone here?"

The Criminal Law Elder, already skilled in combat and tracking, was completely baffled. If the enemy had such impressive concealment skills, why didn't they just come out in the first place? Did they only think of hiding after escaping for thousands of miles?

"Putting blame on someone?"

"Or is there a hidden secret?"

Looking in the direction of the four eastern islands closest to this place, the Criminal Law Elder did not act rashly, but immediately returned to Yulong Fairy City to request the Golden Elixir Decree.

【allow! 】

Although the Lin family is the overlord of the Yulong Islands, the real reason for their hegemony is the Jindan cultivators of the Lin family, so the Criminal Law Elder needs legal support before he can ask the local foundation-building cultivators to cooperate.

However, to his surprise, all the foundation-building cultivators in the four eastern islands and even the entire eastern part of the Yulong Islands had alibis, and no one had any scars of the attack left by Old Man Wan.

"That's weird. How can someone suddenly appear and then disappear out of thin air?"

"Could it really be that monks from other places are secretly committing crimes?"

The Criminal Law Elder felt aggrieved, as if he had been slapped in the face and couldn't slap back.

The investigation of this case encountered great resistance, but the investigation of other cases was much easier.

Yes, there are other cases!
As the Jiao Emperor began to dissolve his weapons, a number of public security incidents occurred throughout the Yulong Islands. Especially after the auction, due to the outflow of a large number of precious spiritual objects and even foundation-building spiritual objects, serious incidents occurred in many places.

Not to mention the areas that are not directly under the Lin family's management, we only need to urge the local leaders to deal with them.

However, in the area directly managed by the Lin family, they need to make every effort to solve the case in order to ensure the stability of the area and the credibility of the Lin family, otherwise the robbery and repair thing will resurface.

"What? The Foundation Establishment Pill was robbed?"

Lin Qianfan, who had just been released from confinement, was shocked.

"Well, based on the known clues, Jie Xiu must be connected to a certain foundation-building force at the venue, and he captured the elder of the Wan family and obtained precise information about Senior Wan..."

"Are you saying that Jie Xiu finally disappeared near the four eastern islands?" "Yes, that's what the Xiancheng Lin family's files say. This is the result of their criminal law elder's personal investigation."

"I see. I'll go look at the file first."

Lin Qianfan didn't say much, but he had a hunch that this matter might be related to the Li family.

Criminal Law Hall.

"Fifth Elder, I want to see the file on the Foundation Establishment Pill being robbed!"

"Oh? You know these things?"

Yanglong Bay also has its own criminal law elder, that is the fifth elder. As a criminal law elder, he is actually very idle on weekdays. After all, the Yulong Islands are very peaceful.

Therefore, the fifth elder is also a second-level spiritual plant husband, managing the family spiritual plant hall and a large second-level spiritual medicine garden.

"I can't say I know much, but I've been a supervisory deacon in the Eastern Four Islands for three years. I think I'm somewhat familiar with them, so perhaps I can find some clues."

Logically speaking, Lin Qianfan was not from the Criminal Law Hall and was not familiar with the Fifth Elder, so he could not see the files.

But the family is so small and there are only so many people in the family. As Lin Qianfan is considered to be a quasi-foundation-building person, it is normal for him to receive some special treatment.

"Take it and have a look. If you can really find important information to help solve this case, I will help you get the reward from the Immortal City."

"Thank you, Fifth Elder, for your kindness."

The incident took place in the north of the archipelago. The Wan family is also a family managed by the Lin family of Xiancheng, so the pressure of this matter mainly falls on the criminal law elder of Xiancheng.

It stands to reason that it's better to watch the fun, but the Lin family is the Lin family. If one family suffers, all suffer. If criminals are allowed to go unpunished for a long time, outsiders will question the Lin family's ability to rule.

...

pop~
A loud slap landed on the face of the middle-aged foundation-building cultivator, but he did not dare to resist.

"Bastard thing!"

"The ancestor repeatedly warned us not to act alone at this critical juncture. Yet, you blatantly killed someone for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and even brought them to Donghuan without even cleaning up the mess. Do you want to destroy our family?"

"Uncle San, this is all my fault. If you want to punish me, I'll punish you!"

"Get out! You are not allowed to leave the family land for the next hundred years!"

"Nephew... I obey your orders..."

a hundred years!

The total lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is only over two hundred years, less than three hundred years. Not being able to go out for a hundred years is indeed a severe punishment. However, he also knows how big a mistake he has made, especially since he stole the Foundation Establishment Pill entirely for his own selfish desires.

"Dad, what did Third Grandpa say?"

"It's okay, we've already robbed them, what else can we do?"

"Hurry up and break through. Strive to surpass me as soon as possible. The success of our lineage depends on you."

"Yeah, thank you, Dad. I'll go into seclusion now."

Since the Lin family controls almost all the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pills in the Yulong Islands, other forces can either completely obey the Lin family or use other spiritual objects that are far inferior to the Foundation Establishment Pills to establish their foundations.

It can only be said that the Wan family is really unlucky. Among the three forces that obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, only the ancestor of the Wan family is the weakest and alone, and even has a flaw and a burden. Who else can they grab if not him?

Guanlan Fairy City.

This is a large third-level immortal city that is several times larger than the Yulong Immortal City. There are three Jindan forces standing in the city. Even the weakest one is no worse than the Lin family.

The three families are often united in their external relations, so the overall strength of Guanlan Fairy City ranks second in the Western Regions, only weaker than the Yunshang Alliance, which has more Jindan cultivators or even late Jindan cultivators.

"It seems that Gongshujia has really found a treasure this time."

"Why doesn't my Dong family have such luck? I'm afraid the situation of Guanlan Fairy City will change again. Alas~"

The three major Jindan families in Guanlan Fairy City are the Qi family, the Gongshu family, and the Dong family.

The Qi family is the strongest. There are four Jindan cultivators and a third-level demon king in the clan, one of whom is in the middle Jindan stage. The Qi family can make a living in the Western Regions with just their own combat power.

The Gongshu family is second. The Gongshu family has three Jindan combat forces and a third-level demon king. Because the third-level spiritual object was blocked, they originally did not have the combat force of the middle Jindan stage.

In the end, the Dong family only had three Jindan cultivators, no third-level demon king, and it was even more impossible for them to have a middle-stage Jindan.

Although the three major families appear to coexist harmoniously on the surface, in reality it is the Qi family that is bullying the other two. If the two families do not join forces, all matters big and small in Guanlan Fairy City will be dominated by the Qi family.

But recently, due to the death of the Black Dragon Emperor, the Gongshu family has also risen.

The first supreme elder of the Gongshu family actually managed to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core at the age of over 500 years old.

This will disrupt the balance of Guanlan Fairy City.

Originally, there was one strong and two weak. If the two weak joined forces, they would suppress each other, but the two weak could not be truly close to each other, so there was a three-way balance of power.

But now it has become two strong powers. There is no balance between two strong and one weak. It seems that both sides will win over the weak, but in fact the two strong sides will only tacitly weaken the weak, or even share the weak.

"Could it be that the Gongshu family got the dragon ball?"

A strange idea suddenly popped up in Dong Jia Taishang's mind, but he rejected it in an instant.

That day, three third-level ships from the three major families rushed into the core area of the Dark Sea from three different directions almost at the same time. He had never seen the Gongshu family act alone.

Even if the other party gains something, he won't get the Dragon Ball, right?
Moreover, as the dragon ball is an external object, it should not be able to help cultivators break through the realm.

"I just hope that old immortal will pass away soon."
