Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 280 Seize it first, then talk.

As Zhang Lingyu and the others entered the main hall one after another, the hall doors behind them slammed shut.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Leading the charge was the burly man who had previously mocked the old man from the East Sea. This man was named Tang Wei. Although he was a rogue cultivator, he had been a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator in his early years.

Later, this Golden Elixir cultivator was murdered, and fearing he would be implicated and punished, he fled early.

Even though he had become a rogue cultivator again, the skills he had learned from the Golden Core cultivator were not in vain, and he had gained some reputation in the Zhao Kingdom.

Tang Wei snorted coldly and poured all his magical power into the magical artifact beneath his feet, instantly propelling himself to the forefront.

At the same time, with a flick of his sleeve, he could take all the jade boxes except for the magic sword.

"How dare you, you brat!"

"Don't even think about it!"

This scene immediately enraged the cultivators behind him, who either made hand seals or unleashed their magical weapons, all of which were thrown at the big man.

If Zhang Lingyu and the other nine people had attacked simultaneously, they would probably have been annihilated long ago.

But it was blocked.

A small white jade bell was suspended above Tang Wei's head. Apart from its pretty design, it didn't seem to pose much of a threat. However, the spiritual light it emitted, combined with her magic robe, managed to barely withstand the attacks of the nine people.

Everyone immediately realized that this white jade bell had probably transcended the category of magical artifacts and had one foot in the category of magical treasures.

These types are also commonly known as "treasure embryos" or "treasure embryos".

"This kid looks unremarkable, but I never imagined he was so wealthy. We must take him down in one fell swoop!" Thus, their greed grew, and they continued casting spells without hesitation.

Explosions erupted throughout the hall in an instant.

"Fortunately, there are the Dharma embryos left by the old man." As a direct disciple of the Golden Core cultivator, Tang Wei was given many good things, among which a bell and a seal were the most superior. These two were Dharma artifacts that the Golden Core cultivator had nurtured for many years, left to him for protection.

The former has already been exposed and has demonstrated extremely strong defensive capabilities, while the latter is more inclined towards suppression and killing.

So even after his master perished and he lost his backing, he was still able to thrive in the Zhao Kingdom by relying on these two items.

Unfortunately, although he barely survived the first wave of attacks, Tang Wei's condition was not much better. No matter how strong his Dharma Embryo was, he was still only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he was facing the combined attack of nine cultivators of the same level.

Seeing the nine people about to join forces to cast a spell again, his eyelids twitched. If it happened again, he would definitely become the first candidate to perish here.

"You want these jade boxes?"

"Take it all!"

So he made a quick decision, selecting a few larger jade boxes and stuffing them into his sleeve, while throwing the rest behind him in an attempt to distract himself.

Unfortunately, the jade box has the effect of blocking divine sense, so it cannot distinguish which contents are more valuable. At this stage, we can only try our luck. Anyway, we can still grab some more during the later melee.

As the remaining dozen or so jade boxes were thrown backward, Zhang Lingyu and the others abruptly interrupted their spell, completely ignoring Tang Wei in front of them, and desperately tried to grab the jade boxes scattered around.

What a joke! Instead of robbing the jade box, they went and beat people up. Wouldn't that just be watching them steal everything?

"call..."

Zhang Lingyu looked at the jade box containing the Golden Core Pill mixed in with the other jade boxes that had been thrown out, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Tang Wei had really gotten her hands on this item, dealing with it later would have been quite troublesome.

There was no other reason than that he had witnessed the defensive power of that white jade bell.

As the jade boxes were scattered in all directions, the crowd split into four groups and scrambled for them. His competitors were a female cultivator dressed in a pale yellow dress and a scholar-like man.

The two of them were slower than him, and somehow they had reached an agreement to attack Zhang Lingyu at the same time.

"Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with?"

Zhang Lingyu remained calm as a swarm of dark, soul-devouring bees flew out of the spirit insect pouch at his waist, followed closely by a small white bone banner shrouded in ghostly mist. The dense ghostly mist instantly enveloped the entire hall, with numerous ghostly creatures cackling and laughing within it, working together with the bees to desperately resist.

He had already used all his strength to seize the Golden Core.

Of course, these alone are not enough.

"Ring ring!"

An extremely eerie bell rang out in the main hall without warning.

The bell seemed to ignore the physical barriers and magical barriers, penetrating directly into the eardrums of all the cultivators in the hall. At first, it sounded like the low weeping of a wronged woman, but in an instant, it transformed into the sharp sound of thousands of fine needles pricking each other.

In an instant, the cultivators felt the world spinning before their eyes. The real scene, including the main hall and the jade box, vanished instantly, replaced by an endless, nauseating mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

The faces of the crowd instantly turned to one of extreme pain, to the point that they completely lost control of their posture and unconsciously clutched their heads and groaned.

Even those with relatively strong spiritual power, such as Tang Wei, turned pale and had to guard their spiritual platforms to resist the erosion of the demonic sounds and illusions.

Although they didn't fall to the ground in a sorry state like the others, the various expressions they displayed all showed that they were also in a terrible state.

The tense scene of the treasure hunt, where everyone was plotting their own schemes, was suddenly brought to a halt by this strange ringing of the bell.

Mind-capturing bell.

This magical artifact was obtained from Huangyun Mountain and was originally used by the Huang family as a magic treasure for refining. Although they were unable to achieve their desired result later, its power was immense, and it caused Zhang Lingyu a lot of trouble back then.

Now that it's in his hands, and with the addition of his early-stage Golden Core spiritual sense, its power is naturally much stronger.

However, after exerting all his strength just now, he has consumed a lot of both his magical power and mental energy, and he probably won't be able to use it a second time for a while.

Fortunately, the goal has been achieved.

The moment the Mind-Capturing Bell was activated, all the cultivators froze on the spot. The man and woman closest to him behind him coughed up blood and rolled on the ground, clutching their heads.

Zhang Lingyu then seized the opportunity to successfully pocket the several jade boxes containing the Golden Core pills.

Got it!

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to grab the rest of the jade boxes, but to his surprise, the cultivators had already suppressed the strange phenomenon by casting spells, taking medicine, or using talismans, and their eyes regained their clarity.

Indeed, which cultivator who can come here doesn't have formidable skills?

However, the cultivators, now fully conscious, were still haunted and dared not approach Zhang Lingyu rashly, but they could also tell that he would not be able to use it a second time in a short period of time.

After the brief incident, they resumed their scramble for the jade box.

Seeing that there was no hope of seizing other items for the time being, Zhang Lingyu set his sights on the high-grade Golden Core magic sword not far from him.

This item is the most precious among all treasures.

Without hesitation, he piloted the flying shuttle to seize it, while simultaneously recalling the swarm of bees and using insect control techniques to form a suit of armor on the surface of his robe to protect his physical body.

As for the ghosts scattered throughout the hall, they also returned to his side. He had already lost many in the fight against the three puppets in the pagoda, and if they were to be scattered again, they would surely be defeated one by one.

Instead, we should recall them to our side to strengthen our fighting force.

Now, Zhang Lingyu is clad in dark gold insect armor and surrounded by ghostly creatures, making him truly resemble a demonic cultivator.
