Su Bai looked at the three figures hastily disappearing into the sky.
She suddenly felt that a great disaster might be approaching.
Su Bai's feeling was not wrong.
Just as Su Bai was thinking of quickly slipping away,
a protective barrier slowly unfolded in the sky.
It was the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market's Mountain Protecting Formation.
Evidently, the three great Foundation Establishment Families reacted very quickly.
Since the robber cultivators had entered, it was impossible to let him escape.
By activating the Formation and using its power in conjunction with the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors, they were determined to slay the robber cultivators here.
However,
the idea was beautiful.
Reality was cruel.
"Kill!"
A cry of battle rang out.
Just after the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market's Mountain Protecting Formation had just been activated,
another ray of light shone.
It was another second-tier Formation Breaking Talisman!
"Zhou Changzai! You actually colluded with the robber cultivators! You will not die a good death!"
From the direction of the Zhou Family, the voice of that Old Ancestor Zhou Wei rang out.
The voice was filled with resentment and regret.
And Zhou Changzai's voice also rang out.
"You three great Families have eaten enough of the spoils these past few years."
"Also, don't wrongly accuse me. Who colluded with the robber cultivators? I am irreconcilable with the robber cultivators. This time, I am here to slay the robber cultivators!"
That Zhou Changzai certainly couldn't admit it.
Besides,
he had been stopped by Chiyun Sect, one of the Upper Sects, last time.
He could only leave in anger.
This time, he had endured for another ten years!
He finally caught an opportunity.
That robber cultivators wanted to heal his injuries, and he wanted revenge on the Zhou Family; they hit it off immediately.
If it weren't for Zhou Changzai, a person who had once been driven out by the Zhou Family, obstructing from the shadows,
how could the robber cultivators have hidden for so long? He would have been caught long ago.
As long as he succeeded this time,
whether the robber cultivators was killed or fled far away had nothing to do with him, Zhou Changzai.
And with the three great Families destroyed,
he, Zhou Changzai, would be the person in charge of this Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
By then, even if people from the Upper Sect came, he would offer tribute once every ten years, just like the previous three great Families.
The Upper Sect would also suffer no loss.
At most, the dog below them had been replaced by another one.
They couldn't ask for more from them.
Zhou Changzai had calculated everything clearly.
The Six Upper Sects managed the entire Zhang Country, and this Purple Bamboo Immortal Market was just a small territory.
As long as there was no substantial evidence of collusion with the robber cultivators, he would be fine!
Zhou Changzai's eyes were red.
In his childhood, his father's Foundation was crippled for the Zhou Family, and his mother was later killed trying to help the Family contend for mining interests.
Not only did the Zhou Family offer no compensation,
they also disliked his Spiritual Root, which was a four-Spiritual Root, and drove him out of the house.
His father, in an attempt to plead for him, was also driven out!
How could a crippled person take care of a young child? He died not long after.
Zhou Changzai later wandered and had his own fortuitous encounter.
After becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he played it safe.
He only returned after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage - Middle Phase, precisely to prevent the three great Families from joining forces to stop him.
He didn't expect that at that time, Chiyun Sect happened to have a Patrol Team nearby.
They got the news.
And rushed over quickly.
Disrupting Zhou Changzai's revenge plan.
This time, no one was coming to stop him!
Zhou Changzai had re-dormant for ten years.
He was confident that all Six Upper Sects were tied up by events far away.
After all, they didn't even care about an injured Foundation Establishment Stage robber cultivators.
He completely let loose.
He swore to make the Zhou Family pay.
Whoever stood in his way was an enemy!
Zhou Changzai hated the Zhou Family to the bone.
Not only did he recruit many robber cultivators subordinates,
he even prepared several Formation Breaking Talismans!
This was all to completely destroy the Zhou Family.
He fought without mercy.
A wave of his hand would unleash a Spiritual Artifact attack.
Even a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was stronger than a Magical Artifact.
Zhou Wei, the Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family, was still using a top-grade Magical Artifact.
Plus, his Realm was also weaker than Zhou Changzai's.
Last time, when confronting Zhou Changzai, he was only safe by joining forces with the Old Ancestors of the other two Families.
This time, he fell into a disadvantage from the very first exchange.
Leaving aside Zhou Changzai's revenge plan,
at this moment, Su Bai was scurrying around, clutching her head!
Poor her, she was just a small Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator!
To her, those Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors above were like demons and monsters.
One careless mistake,
and the aftermath of their battle could kill her!
Su Bai cursed inwardly.
Damn your mothers!
You powerful Cultivators completely disregard the lives of us small Cultivators!
While Su Bai was frantically cursing in her mind and her legs were already fully extended, searching for a safe place,
the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors above had already fully engaged in battle.
From time to time, a ripple of energy generated by a Spell collision bloomed in the sky.
If these ripples affected the market below,
Cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase might be okay.
But those at Qi Refining and Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase would die instantly upon impact, without a sound!
"Lin Shui! You've been chasing me for so long. How do you feel seeing your clansmen killed and your medicine garden destroyed, hahaha!"
"Yan Xi! With your current Qi Refining Peak cultivation, you still dare to speak so presumptuously! Die for me!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for my Foundation being damaged and my injuries not yet healed, a mere nobody like you wouldn't even be fit to speak with me!"
The sounds of battle in the direction of the Lin Family were no less intense than those of the Zhou Family.
Even the seemingly stable Meng Family was dragged into it.
To prevent the Meng Family from disrupting the situation, Zhou Changzai naturally contacted several people who were interested in the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
And promised that if his plan succeeded, he would share the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market with them.
This market originally attracted many Loose Cultivators and offered considerable profits.
There was also a second-tier Spiritual Vein present.
In recent years, an auction was also held, increasing profits to another level.
Many people from the surrounding areas were envious.
Hearing Zhou Changzai's proposal, they naturally jumped on board.
After all, Zhou Changzai, as a Foundation Establishment Stage - Middle Phase Cultivator, had an extraordinary deterrent force.
Zhou Changzai was thoroughly prepared on his side.
Not only did he have various helpers,
he had prepared a full three second-tier Formation Breaking Talismans!
Adding the one he got at the auction, that made four!
Yan Xi used one to break into the Lin Family's medicine garden.
Three remained.
When the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market's Mountain Protecting Formation unfolded,
Zhou Changzai used all of them.
When a Formation Breaking Talisman was used outside a Formation, it was a strong attack.
Its power was merely satisfactory.
But inside, it was different.
The effect directly went up two grades!
After three consecutive uses,
even with a Spiritual Vein, the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market's Mountain Protecting Formation could not hold up.
Moreover, Zhou Changzai hadn't Cultivated in vain these past few years.
He naturally knew the weak points of the Formation.
As the Formation Breaking Talismans were continuously thrown out,
the protective barrier raised by the Formation flickered for a moment before completely shattering!
The Formation was broken!
Su Bai discovered it immediately.
She fully unleashed Soaring Cloud Steps.
Her speed was even faster than a flying Magical Artifact.
She transformed into a black shadow and fled out of the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
As Su Bai ran out, she could still hear the cursing from within the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
Zhou Changzai and Zhou Wei were locked in a fight to the death.
Zhou Changzai was fighting with all his might.
Zhou Wei gritted his teeth and held on; facing Zhou Changzai, who was one Realm higher than him, he couldn't even speak.
The commotion on Lin Shui's side, however, was significant.
Lin Shui was filled with hatred.
He hated this Yan Xi.
He hated this robber cultivators!
Yan Xi was exhilarated!
The accumulated resentment of many years could finally be vented.
Naturally, he cursed at Lin Shui.
Although Yan Xi's Realm was inferior to Lin Shui's now, relying on his past experience as a Foundation Establishment Stage - Middle Phase Cultivator,
he could still contend with Lin Shui for a while.
But Lin Shui, seeing his Family's losses,
could not possibly let Yan Xi go.
"Yan Xi! Die!"
Lin Shui roared.
Two dark, round pellets appeared in his hand, with faint flashes of lightning on their surface.
Yan Xi, who was still cursing at Lin Shui,
let out a strange cry upon seeing what Lin Shui took out.
"Thunderbolt Pellet!"
As soon as Yan Xi cried out,
he tried to release a defensive Spiritual Artifact to protect himself.
But Lin Shui had already activated and thrown the Thunderbolt Pellets.
Boom!!!
