Chapter 331 Guidance
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to step forward and try.
After all, no one knows whether this spiritual jade really has such magical effects. If there is a trick, it will be more trouble than gain.
If it is true, then I will become the target of everyone.
However, the monk with a face full of flesh did not have so many twists and turns in his mind. After seeing Han Xiao take out the spiritual jade and tell the secret, he stared at the spiritual jade without blinking. There was nothing else in his eyes except the spiritual jade.
After a moment, the monk with a face full of flesh could not hold back any longer and shouted, "Hmph, let me try! If you dare to lie to us, you will be in big trouble." As he said that, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to snatch the spiritual jade from Han Xiao's hand.
Han Xiao retracted his hand and said, "Wait a minute. What if you damage the jade by being so reckless? You just need to slowly inject your spiritual power into the jade and feel the changes in the runes."
The monk with a face full of flesh frowned and injected spiritual power into the spiritual jade as instructed.
After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "I really feel it! I can feel a faint wave pointing in a certain direction."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited and gathered around, wanting to see this magical jade with their own eyes.
However, at this moment, Han Xiao suddenly flashed and rushed towards the exit of the market.
After a few escape techniques, he arrived at the entrance of the market and stood outside the market. At this time, there were dozens of cultivators surrounding the entrance outside the market.
Seeing this, Han Xiao said to the monks following behind him, "Today, I am at the end of my rope. Now that the secret has been revealed, to save my life, I will give the Spirit Jade to you all to decide on the final owner."
After he finished speaking, the spiritual jade in his hand shot towards the entrance and exit of the market town, and the cultivators with the highest cultivation level showed up.
This person was originally just watching the fun and was not among the group of monks surrounding him.
He was standing at the edge of the entrance and exit. After he noticed that Han Xiao had a piece of spiritual jade in his hand after he finished speaking, he somehow passed in a trace of spiritual power and found that there was indeed a fluctuation guiding the direction. He was immediately very excited and put it into the storage ring.
When he saw hundreds of monks staring at him at the entrance of the market, he panicked and took it out again, ready to explain.
"He wants to swallow it secretly!" Before Han Xiao could guide him, an anxious person in the crowd shouted loudly.
"I……"
Before the monk could explain, dozens of spells were cast, and the entrances and exits of the market were filled with colorful lights, and various spells exploded one after another.
In the chaos, the monk dodged various magical attacks in a panic, groaning in his heart.
He tried to explain again, but he didn't get a chance to speak.
Han Xiao took advantage of the chaotic situation, turned around quietly, and rushed in another direction.
At this time, the monks at the entrance and exit of the market were already engaged in a frantic scramble.
Everyone wanted to obtain the spiritual jade, believing that they were qualified to master the secrets of the floating city. Various magic weapons and spells intertwined in the air, and the scene was in chaos.
Han Xiao quietly moved away from the market entrance, secretly congratulating himself on the success of his plan. He knew that these cultivators were after the spiritual jade and would not come after him again any time soon.
He summoned the flying boat and quickly left. He had to find a safe place as soon as possible, hide, and wait for the opportunity.
At the entrance and exit of the chaotic market town, the fighting continued.
The greed and desire of the monks were completely aroused at this moment. They were willing to fight for a possible opportunity, completely forgetting that their original purpose was just to force Han Xiao to hand over the secret.
There were a few clear-headed monks who did not join the melee. They looked at Han Xiao who was leaving quietly, and then they looked at each other. They also quietly left the entrance and exit of the chaotic market and followed Han Xiao from a distance.
Three hours later, Han Xiao's flying boat landed on a deserted island, which was about five or six miles in radius. There were many such deserted islands in the Xiyuan Sea.
To the west was a steep cliff facing the sea, while to the east was a flat sandy beach. Han Xiao fell into the western cliff and found a cave there, which was just right for him to take shelter for a while.
After entering the cave, he quickly set up some simple defensive formations. He was still a little nervous, wondering if the monks who followed him would find this place.
The cave was dark and damp, but Han Xiao didn't care about much at the moment. He sat down cross-legged, trying to calm himself down and think about his next move.
Outside the deserted island, a few clear-minded monks watched from afar where Han Xiao's flying boat had landed. They exchanged glances, as if discussing how to find Han Xiao's exact location.
"Han Xiao must be hiding somewhere on this island. We have to search carefully and not let him find us." A monk whispered.
"Well, but this island is not that big, so we need to be careful." Another monk responded with a frown.
"Why don't we ask our master to come over to ensure everything goes well?" said the monk standing at the end.
The few of them were silent for a moment before the leading monk said, "Alright, send a message to Master and explain the situation here. The four of us will surround the island twenty miles away to prevent Han Xiao from escaping."
"In compliance with Second Senior Brother's order, Junior Brother Lu, the important task of contacting Master is now entrusted to you. I will guard the east side." The green-robed monk said as he put several restrictions on his body and flew towards the east side of the island.
"I will guard the west. Junior Brother Lu, you quickly contact Master to prevent any changes. I see that not only are we awake in the market, but there are also several waves of cultivators following behind." The second senior brother who took the lead said to Junior Brother Lu.
The other two looked at each other without saying anything. One of them put a few restrictions on himself, then flew towards the north of the island.
The other person also put on a few restrictions and flew to the south of the island.
Junior Brother Lu looked at the backs of his senior brothers as they left, took a deep breath, then quickly took out the communication talisman and began to contact the master.
He was both nervous and excited, not knowing when his master would arrive, but he had to arrive before the other monks.
If they can capture Han Xiao and get the secret of the floating city, then they and their fellow disciples will surely make further progress on the path of cultivating immortals.
Around the island, four monks each held their own position, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements. They did not dare to slack off, fearing that Han Xiao would take the opportunity to escape.
The chaos at the entrance and exit of the island market had just subsided, but was forcibly stopped by the market manager.
A group of Jindan cultivators were like chicks seeing an eagle in front of a cultivator in the early stage of Huashen.
"Who has the spiritual jade?" The Divine Transformation cultivator stood in mid-air, looking down at the seventy or eighty people below.
The bodies of forty or fifty monks lay on the ground. Nearly a hundred people were killed or injured in the chaos. The remaining people, during the battle, were also those with relatively strong cultivation techniques and excellent life-saving methods.
There was a moment of silence, and no one spoke.
"Since you don't want to tell me, don't blame me for being cruel. You destroyed the market, so I will follow the market rules. I won't take your lives, but I will leave all your storage magic weapons." The Divine Transformation cultivator roared.
Hearing that the market master was so unreasonable, dozens of Jindan cultivators were all shocked. Some showed anger on their faces, while others showed fear on their faces.
They knew very well how powerful the Divine Transformation cultivators were. If they really resisted, they would probably die.
"Senior, we didn't fight in the market town, so how can we say that we destroyed the market town?" A Jindan cultivator in the crowd shouted excitedly.
"What I say is what it is. You can resist as well. Hey! Hey!" The Divine Transformation Monk laughed.
All the monks who participated in the chaotic battle took a deep breath and felt helpless.
Suddenly, a Jindan cultivator fled away quickly. Before everyone could react, a Shenhua cultivator waved his hand.
Ah!
The escaping Jindan cultivator had his head and body separated without even putting up a fight.
The guards from the market town would come forward and take away the deceased monk's storage magic weapon. They would fly to the Divine Transformation monk, take out a piece of spiritual jade, and offer it to him with both hands.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" The Divine Transformation cultivator's eyes were filled with pride. He glanced at the group of cultivators and shouted coldly, "Humph! Leave half of the resources behind and you can leave. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"
After saying that, he checked the jade in his hand and found that it did not look old at all, it looked like a newly made jade.
Only when the spiritual power is stimulated can it be transferred into the spiritual jade.
Snapped!
The spiritual jade in his hand shattered instantly, and the Divine Transformation cultivator was stunned.
Where am I? What have I done?
Taking advantage of the distraction of the Jindan cultivator, several Jindan cultivators threw out a storage bag, which fell into the hands of the market guards and quickly fled from the entrance and exit of the market.
Seeing this, the Jindan cultivators followed the example of the previous ones, threw out their storage bags, and fled quickly.
By the time the Jindan cultivator came to his senses, the first few Jindan cultivators had already fled twenty or thirty miles in different directions. It was impossible to catch them all. He could only suppress his temper as he watched the group of troublemaking Jindan cultivators disperse.
This time, he was tricked by Han Xiao. He had already lost his credibility in the eyes of the cultivators by forcefully detaining people at the entrance of the market. He had just said that he could leave as long as he handed over half of the resources. If he were to chase him back now, I'm afraid that not many cultivators would come to this market in the future.
The Divine Transformation cultivator's face was gloomy and he was filled with anger. He threw away the broken pieces of the spiritual jade in his hand and looked in the direction where Han Xiao had fled.
"This Han Xiao, how dare he play tricks on me like this. When I find him, I will make him pay a heavy price." The Divine Transformation cultivator said gritting his teeth.
Then, he turned to the market guards and ordered, "Pay close attention to the surrounding area. If you find any trace of Han Xiao, report to me immediately."
The market guards responded respectfully, "Yes, sir."
"Ha! Ha!" A burst of laughter came from the nearest spiritual tea shop in the market.
A few breaths later, a monk in a black robe with a hat covering his face walked out. He appeared outside the market with a trick of escape, and then took off the hat covering his face.
When they saw this man's face clearly, all the monks present were surprised.
The Blackbeard Ancestor!
"Fellow Daoist Xiling, you don't have to go and vent your hatred on Han Xiao yourself. I will go and help you regain your face right now. As for thanking you, forget it. Next time I come to your market, just remember to treat me with good wine and delicious food!" The Black Blood Ancestor said happily, and his figure soared into the sky and never came back.
"Hmph!" The master of the island market snorted coldly, looking at the Black Blood Ancestor who was walking away, his eyes filled with anger.
Inside the market town, Shidi, who had disguised himself, turned around and looked towards the teahouse nearest to the market entrance. There, a strange monk was sitting there, drinking tea slowly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly he turned his head, nodded at Shi, and smiled.
