Fu Changsheng first let Grandmaster Yu stay in the flying ship, which had a secret array. He donned the invisibility cloak and went to the grass on the east side. Uncovering the lid hidden among the grass, he discovered the passage was still there, and he couldn't help but smile. He sent a signal to Grandmaster Yu.
Grandmaster Yu piloted the flying ship into the secret passage.
Regarding this kind of exploration.
Grandmaster Yu was evidently a bit excited:
"Young Friend Fu, stand behind me."
Inside the passage.
It was pitch black, you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, several Moonstones landed on the stone wall, lighting up the cave. They advanced through the winding passage for a duration of one cup of tea.
Grandmaster Yu suddenly raised his hand and stopped.
Fu Changsheng was puzzled, as ahead was the end. As long as the protruding rock on the right was injected with spiritual power, the stone wall would rotate, and going out would lead to Moon Lake at Niushou Mountain:
"Grandmaster Yu, have you discovered something?"
Grandmaster Yu didn't answer.
He circled around the protruding rock a few times and then kept deducing on the ground. After a while, he laughed and said:
"This stone wall is the dead point of the Wind Killing Array. Once touched, one would immediately fall into the wind killing array. With Young Friend Fu's strength, you'd be slain by the array's power in an instant!"
Wind Killing Array?!
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
Then immediately realized.
Evidently.
After the Zhang Family moved in, they also invited an array master to survey the terrain in detail. The reason the passage was left was to lure the enemy deeper, inviting them into the trap!
Fu Changsheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If he hadn't brought Grandmaster Yu along and had rashly intruded, today would likely be the day of his demise:
"Grandmaster Yu, do you have any way to pass through the Wind Killing Array without alerting the Zhang Family?"
"There is a way, but it will take about ten to fifteen days."
The Pork Spirit Beast would arrive in about half a month.
If Grandmaster Yu was successful, the timing would be just right.
Fu Changsheng promptly said:
"Grandmaster Yu, please help break this Wind Killing Array. Once it's broken, feel free to drink as much of the spiritual wine in the cellar as you like."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Upon mentioning the spiritual wine.
The previously disinterested Grandmaster Yu immediately perked up, smilingly said:
"Young Friend Fu, rest assured, within ten days, I will definitely help you break this Wind Killing Array."
Fu Changsheng gave a few words of caution, telling Grandmaster Yu to act carefully.
He himself first exited the passage.
To lure the Pork Spirit Beast here, he would need to go to the black market to purchase some Insect Demon Grass.
Insect Demon Grass is a Tier One High-Grade Spirit Grass, with a fatal attraction for the Pork Spirit Beast. While common in the North Sea, it's extremely rare in the Eastern Wilderness.
He planned to try his luck at the black market first.
If that didn't work.
He could only secretly contact Shangguan Hongyu for assistance in purchasing a plant.
The struggles between noble families, as long as they didn't collaborate with foreign races like the Li Family, neither the Court nor the Shangguan Family would interfere.
Coming down from Luofeng Mountain.
After disguising himself, Fu Changsheng once again set foot in the black market.
The black market was as quiet as last time, with vendors lining both sides of the street, merely displaying their items, leaving it to the willing buyers to decide.
Fu Changsheng glanced around.
He stopped at the last stall.
The stall was selling Pork Spirit Beast claws, and there were quite a few.
The vendor's cultivation was comparable to his.
Supposedly it would be impossible for one person to kill so many Pork Spirit Beasts.
There was only one possibility.
That was the other party probably had Insect Demon Grass, using it to lure the Pork Spirit Beasts into a trap and then kill them.
Fu Changsheng probed:
"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell your Insect Demon Grass?"
The rabbit-mask cultivator, who had been sitting with eyes closed in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and scrutinized Fu Changsheng up and down, his coarse voice sounded:
"Since you're a smart person, then you should understand that Insect Demon Grass is my meal ticket; how could I easily sell it?"
Insect Demon Grass is just a Tier One spiritual object.
It matures in three years.
As precious as it is, it should still be for sale.
The other party was just waiting to raise the price.
Fu Changsheng wouldn't fall into their trap, and immediately turned to leave.
After only a few steps.
The other party stopped him:
"Hey, fellow Daoist, if you sincerely wish to buy, a mature Insect Demon Grass is one hundred Spirit Stones, take it or leave it."
He hadn't sold a thing all day, so he finally spoke up.
A Tier One High-Grade Spirit Grass with special uses, at one hundred Spirit Stones was reasonable, and most importantly, Fu Changsheng was in urgent need.
Without further delays.
With a pat on his storage bag, there was a flash of dawn light, and a box floated toward the rabbit-mask man:
"I'll take four plants."
Payment made.
Upon leaving the black market, Fu Changsheng immediately donned the invisibility cloak and piloted the flying ship without stopping. Out of his followers, there were evidently two Tribulation Cultivators trailing him, but being at the Qi Refining Stage, even with the use of Rapid Movement Talismans, they couldn't keep up with the flying ship's speed.
He returned to the Clan Mountain unscathed.
After a few days.
Grandmaster Yu happily announced the successful breaking of the Wind Killing Array.
Ten days later.
The skies suddenly filled with relentless thunder, torrential rain fell for days, causing the Changliu River to flood the mountains, creating a vast expanse of water everywhere.
Piloting the flying ship on guard at the back mountain, Fu Changsheng's ears twitched suddenly.
"Hissss"
The sound akin to a venomous snake echoed through the forest.
Upon closer inspection.
He saw a Pork Spirit Beast, resembling a whale in appearance, appeared in his line of sight. This one was just Tier One Early-stage, yet there came continuous hissing sounds after it.
From further away.
There was a Tier One Peak Pork Spirit Beast slowly approaching:
"It's now or never!"
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.
He immediately activated the isolation array on the ship.
The aroma of three mature Insect Demon Grasses wafted down with the wind.
The originally quiet Pork Spirit Beasts in the forest twitched their noses, and suddenly their eyes turned bloodshot:
"Roar!"
The roars resonated.
They charged madly toward Fu Changsheng.
Their scales rippled, a stream of airflow gathered, and they leapt from the ground, surprisingly capable of flying in the air, rapidly chasing the flying ship.
Fu Changsheng's body surged with True Qi, injecting it into the flying ship, transforming it into a lightning bolt, swiftly heading toward Niushou Mountain.
A group of cloud-riding Pork Spirit Beasts followed behind him.
Niushou Mountain and Luofeng Mountain were not far apart, coupled with the full speed of the flying ship, half a cup of tea later, they arrived at the back mountain of Niushou Mountain.
At this moment.
The sky roared with thunder, torrential rain poured down.
From afar.
Fu Changsheng cast a Daoist Technique into the grass, the lid opened, and the flying ship turned into a white light entering the passage, followed closely by Pork Spirit Beasts entering one after another.
Inside the passage.
On the flying ship, Fu Changsheng specially turned back to glance behind him.
But he saw the original Tier One Peak Pork Spirit Beast that was at the back had already rushed to the front, merely ten meters from him.
At this moment.
The Pork Spirit Beast's claws were raised high, slashing down in the air, eerily about to tear Fu Changsheng in half!
