I became a saint by cultivating demons in a strange world

Chapter 87

Li Xiao was going to kill another ghost, and then go back to retreat.

He rented a cave for three months in the world of cultivating immortals, pretending to be in seclusion to break through and build a foundation.
It had only been four or five days at this point, so there was no rush.

He is indeed not in a hurry, but he is annoying to some people.

The first is Xin Qin and her sister Xin Rong, who were taken as his concubines.

Xin Qin was targeted by an old man sent by King Wu's family, who wanted to find out information about Li Xiao.
Fortunately, Xin Rong came back in time and rescued him.

But the two of them did not dare to live in the outer city anymore. They gritted their teeth and went to the inner city to rent the smallest cave.

The security of the inner city of Qianshan City is very good, but if you don't have a fixed residence at night, you will be driven out of the city by the patrol team.

So even though it was expensive, the two of them rented a cave.
As for the inns in the inner city, they are even more expensive.

Because there are all kinds of food, drink and entertainment items, it is simply not something that low-level monks like them can afford.

After the two of them hid in the inner city, the Wang family did not bother them again.

One is that it is really difficult to do anything in the inner city.

Then they have found the information they want.

In the Wang family manor,
The head of the family, Wang Chuanrong, listened to the report from his men, "You said that Liu Ming rented a cave and is breaking through to build the foundation?"

The old man who attacked Xin Qin said,

"Yes, the owner, I have found out clearly. Originally, the Qianshan City Dongfu Leasing Office would not disclose tenant information, but it happened that a guy who managed the cave owed me some favors, and I gave him some benefits, and then he Then Liu Ming rented a second-level high-grade cave and told me the news that he broke through the foundation building..."

No matter where it is, as long as there are enough interests, there is no information that cannot be found.

Wang Chuanrong said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that it is Liu Ming, the remnant young master of the Hunyuan Sect who ran away from the Liu family?"

The old man thought for a while, "I didn't see him with my own eyes, but someone from the clan saw Liu Ming wandering around the city that day. Although several years have passed, that clan member participated in the attack on Hunyuan Sect at that time. If you remember Liu Ming's appearance, you should be right.

And later I went to the city registration office to inquire, and it turned out that someone did register Liu Ming to enter the city a few days ago, and the identity plate originally recorded Hunyuan Sect, but later it was changed to Rogue Cultivator at his request..."

Again, as long as the benefits are sufficient, no secret is a secret.

The people responsible for registering into the city are all hard-working outer disciples of Qianshan Sect.
Selling information can be regarded as an important way for them to make extra money.

Qianshan Sect usually turns a blind eye.

Of course, if you offend someone you shouldn’t offend because of this,
The Qianshan Sect will expel these temporary workers at the outer door who violate laws and disciplines from the outer door, disassociate themselves from them, and severely punish them.

After confirming Liu Ming’s identity through the city registration information,
Wang Chuanrong did not relax, but frowned.
"Why did Liu Ming return to Wu State after he had obviously run away, and even went to Qianshan City in such a arrogant manner?"

The old man snorted coldly, "That guy probably thought he could succeed in building the foundation, so he came back to take revenge..."

Wang Chuanrong said, "You think too simply. Even if he wants to come back for revenge, he can change his appearance and come back quietly. Besides, it is such an important matter to build a foundation. Why would he take the risk to come to Qianshan City to rent a cave? Doesn't he know that our Wang family is in Qianshan City?" Have an industry and clan members?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, "There is indeed something abnormal..."

Wang Chuanrong looked solemn, "It's so abnormal. He seems to be deliberately exposing his whereabouts and planning something..."

The people in these big families are not fools.
Especially those who can sit in the position of the head of the family are even more impressive.

So I immediately saw that this was abnormal.

In fact, it is also because this plan is too rough and full of loopholes.

First of all, it is very simple for monks to disguise themselves.

It just so happens that you, a person with enemies, show off your true colors without concealing it.

Then comes foundation building, which is the most important moment for a monk.

How could anyone specifically find a city full of enemies to risk building a foundation?

Even if Qianshan City has a good reputation, the rented cave is protected by formations and no one dares to disturb it easily.
But it's too risky.

Apart from anything else, if the Wang family really goes all out and wants to do something evil,
As long as we find out the secret room in the cave that it rents, and send dead soldiers to attack,

There is no need to penetrate the secret room of the cave, as long as the opponent is disturbed at the critical moment,
This will greatly reduce the chance of successful foundation building.

Building the foundation is difficult. Even if you have the foundation building pill, the chance of success is only [-]% to [-]%.
If you are disturbed again during the process, I am afraid that the foundation building will fail immediately.

If the foundation building fails, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured and your cultivation will regress.

The main reason is that in addition to Qianshan City, Youzhou also has many immortal cities, so Liu Ming can completely build foundations in other cities and then come back.

So when all these are combined, Liu Ming's motives are very suspicious.

This also had to make Wang Chuanrong think more.

The old man wondered, "Master, why did Liu Ming confidently build the foundation in Qianshan City and deliberately leak his whereabouts? Even if he succeeded in building the foundation, he would only be in the early stage of foundation building, while the ancestor was in the middle stage of foundation building. We were able to destroy his Hunyuan Sect back then, and now we can naturally destroy him as well. Isn’t he not afraid at all?”

Wang Chuanrong said in a deep voice, "This is the biggest doubt. His performance at this time is that he is confident. I am afraid that he is holding on to someone. That guy had just reached the seventh level of the late stage of Qi refining. In just a few years, he dared to try to build a Ji, he has definitely found a backer..."

After some analysis, the most likely possibility is that Liu Ming hugged someone's thigh, so he felt confident.

In this case, the problem is a bit serious.

The old man asked again, "If he found the reliable mountain, why didn't he come directly to seek revenge? Instead, he deliberately leaked his whereabouts?"

Wang Chuanrong pondered for a while and said, "He must be planning something... Could it be that the backer he found is the Qianshan Sect?"

After thinking about it, he really felt that this was the most likely possibility.

Otherwise, why would that guy dare to show off in Qianshan City, and then rent a cave to risk breaking through to build the foundation?

Only with the support of the Qianshan Sect can one dare to be so unscrupulous.

He was a little confused, "Did that guy show up on purpose and let us find out that he was building a foundation in Qianshan City? He wanted to deliberately lure us into action, and then..."

Thinking of this, Wang Chuanrong was really shocked.

The old man also exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that the Qianshan Sect wants to take action against my Wang family? That's why they brought Liu Ming here to have a reason to take action?"

Although the monks are preying on the weak,

But as long as a force is formed and there is concern, there will be scruples between each other.
Even if the Qianshan Sect is a Jindan sect, it can easily deal with a foundation-building family like the Wang family.

But to take action, you also need a decent excuse.

Because Wu Guoming appears to be a righteous sect,
Moreover, the Qianshan Sect leads the Wu Kingdom's cultivation world, and these other forces all pay various taxes.

It is equivalent to protection fee.

If the Qianshan Sect wiped out a foundation-building family for no reason,
It will make other forces panic and even unite for self-protection.

Therefore, even if the Qianshan Sect wanted to attack the Wang family, they would definitely have to find a decent excuse.

And obviously, helping the Hunyuan Sect Liu family to take revenge is a good excuse.

The old man was a little panicked and said, "The Qianshan sect acquiesced in the grievances between my Wang family and the Hunyuan sect back then, and they also shared a lot of benefits. How could I do it for Liu Ming, who has not yet succeeded in building a foundation? Come to deal with my Wang family?"

At that time, the Wang family also found an excuse for the murder of a disciple in the clan, launched a sudden attack, and with the cooperation of internal agents, they destroyed the Hunyuan Sect.

At that time, the Qianshan Sect didn't say anything and acquiesced to their actions.

This is naturally the reason why the Wang family greeted Qianshan Sect in advance and gave them enough benefits.

The reason why the old man panicked was because he was the one who cooperated inside and outside and opened the Hunyuan Gate's protective formation, which allowed the Wang family to sneak attack and destroy the Hunyuan Gate.

As an undercover agent sent by the Wang family to the Hunyuan Sect, after making great achievements, he was indeed put into important use when he came back.

But now that Liu Ming is back to take revenge, he will definitely not let him go.

Wang Chuanrong said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. This is just a guess. It doesn't necessarily mean that the Qianshan Sect wants to deal with my Wang family. Moreover, even if it is the Qianshan Sect, they did not come directly to the door, but released the news first. Obviously They want us to misplace it first, and then find excuses to attack..."

The old man was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He had indeed thought about finding dead men at all costs to interfere with Liu Ming's foundation building.

Because he knew that if Liu Ming succeeded in building the foundation, he would not let him go first.

But now it seems that if he finds someone to take action, it will give the forces behind Liu Ming more excuses to take action.

Blatantly attacking the rented cave in the inner city of Qianshan City,
This is destroying the Qianshan Sect's signature.

As long as there is this reason, Qianshan Sect can directly destroy the Wang family.

Wang Chuanrong ordered, "So don't act rashly. If you do, you will fall into those people's scheme. The target is too big and eye-catching. Don't go back to the city during this period..."

The old man responded, "Okay, head of the family..."

When the old man was sent away,
Wang Chuanrong came to a quiet small courtyard deep in the manor and said, "Old Ancestor, please send me to see you..."

After a while, a voice said, "Come in..."

When Wang Chuanrong entered the small courtyard, he saw the ancestor of the Wang family who was in retreat.

He reported everything he had found out and his speculations.

At this time, Wang Chuanrong lost his previous calmness and said anxiously,

"Ancestor, has the Qianshan Sect noticed something?"

The ancestor of the Wang family muttered, "That matter is very secret. Only you and I know it, and there is no way it will be leaked. And if it was because of that matter, the Qianshan Sect would have come here long ago, so it is impossible to make any excuses... …”

Apparently the Wang family is plotting something ulterior.

They just imagined that Liu Ming's appearance meant that there were other forces that wanted to target them.

The ancestor of the Wang family said, "Don't get confused. This matter is not my Wang family's business. If something unexpected happens, there will naturally be people who are more anxious than us..."

Wang Chuanrong asked, "Then how should Liu Ming deal with this matter?"

The ancestor of the Wang family snorted coldly, "Since he wants to come back to seek death, then just grant him a favor. Go find the steward who manages the rental cave, give him a few thousand spirit stones, and let him sense the spiritual energy fluctuations in the secret room where he is. The maximum time is to break the spirit gathering array, which will interrupt its foundation building. Even if it consumes spirit stones to make up for it later, the success rate of foundation building will be greatly reduced..."

Wang Chuanrong's eyes lit up, "Building foundations requires one big effort. Indeed, it only takes a long section to make it fall short. Our ancestors are wise..."

The little steward who manages the rental point is only in the late stage of Qi refining, and a few thousand spirit stones is already a huge sum of money for him.
It can really impress him to take the risk of breaking off the spirit gathering array in a certain secret room.

When something happens, all he has to do is say he was careless, and at most he will receive a mild punishment.

Li Xiao on the other side still doesn't know the situation he has casually arranged.

It will be turned into a messy conspiracy by the Wang family.

His purpose is actually very simple, which is to confirm Liu Ming's identity.

After the Wang family found out about him, he was not afraid of the so-called interference in the secret room or any other means.

He has already reached the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally he is not afraid of being disturbed.

As for the Wang family, the ancestor of the Wang family is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.

With his cultivation level and the green poison in the Soul-eating Banner, he is completely capable of crushing ordinary mid-stage foundation-building monks.

Even facing late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, he was not afraid.

weird world,

Li Xiao came to a bus stop.

It is said that a non-existent bus No. 3 will appear here at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night on the 33rd of every month.

This bus is an ordinary two-star ghost.

It is also a means of transportation into a large hidden ghost town called the Ancient City.

According to records, the ghosts in the ancient city are very large, like an ancient city, so it is called the ancient city.

Li Xiao also came here after seeing the records.

When he came to the bus stop,
Found a player waiting there.

This is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a casual hoodie and carrying a backpack.The girl was stunned when she saw him. She didn't expect anyone would dare to take the No. 33 ghost bus.

Although Ghost Bus No. 33 is just an ordinary two-star ghost bus,
But because it is connected to this hidden ghost town of the ancient city, even if you complete the tasks on the bus, you cannot leave.

You will be taken directly into the ancient city.

The ancient city ghost is one of the most dangerous two-star ghosts evaluated by Qincheng officials.

Because it is so big, not only are there many strange things, but the tasks are also very difficult.

At the beginning, there were still players entering in groups, but after heavy losses, very few people entered.

Li Xiao also frowned slightly when he saw the girl.

Because as long as they enter Guixiao together, they will be in a team by default.

He was there to catch the weird ones, but he didn't want to be an extra burden.

He said directly, "You can go back to other ghosts, or come back next month."

The girl was stunned, not expecting him to be so domineering, "Why? Guixiao is not from your family..."

Li Xiao said, "I'm kindly reminding you that if you go into the Ghost World with me, you will regret it later."

He entered Guixiao just to catch the BOSS, which would suddenly increase the difficulty of Guixiao many times.

Just like the copy of Horror Farm, if other players join him,
I'm afraid he would have been hacked to death by the crazed scary scarecrow.

Therefore, not only is there no benefit to teaming up with him, it will even be more dangerous.

The girl glared and said, "What do I regret? It was you who went into the ghost world with me and took advantage of me, you know?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Am I still taking advantage? What advantage am I taking?"

The girl said proudly, "I have made a lot of preparations for this ghost. I will definitely be able to complete the hidden mission and pass the level perfectly. As long as you follow me, even if you can't pass the level perfectly, you can still successfully complete the ordinary mission. What's not to take advantage of it?"

Li Xiao asked, "Are you so confident?"

The girl said, "Of course..."

Then her expression dimmed again, "Actually, I was going to save my sister. After they teamed up to enter the ancient city of Guixi, they haven't come out for a month. Everyone said they couldn't come out and were dead, but I don't believe it. My sister is so powerful, how could she die in a two-star ghost..."

Li Xiao smashed his mouth, "One month, I'm afraid there is really no hope..."

The girl blushed, "Why is there no hope? Players who were trapped in a large dungeon for more than a month and came out before..."

Li Xiao said, "Really? Anyway, I have never been in Guixiao for more than a day."

He did almost solve all the problems in Guixiao within one day.

If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the problem.

However, some more complex ghosts do normally take a long time to complete the task.

Just like Horror Farm, if you follow the normal process,

It would take four or five days to investigate clearly the truth about the farm and find out the root cause at the Empress Temple in Fuzhen.

There are also some ghosts that are similar to illusions. After being trapped, they will become addicted to them and cannot extricate themselves.

Slowly being assimilated and thinking that I am one of them.

This kind of ghost is actually the most terrifying, similar to the inner demon illusion of a monk.

Even if you are strong, if your xinxing is not enough, you will fall over.

The girl said, "Bragging..."

Li Xiao did not explain, "You said you were going to save your sister. If the same group enters the ghost world, the players will be in different dungeons. Except for the same BOSS, the tasks and other tasks are all independent. How are you going to save her?"

The girl said, "As long as I can complete both the normal tasks and the hidden tasks, I will be able to pass the level perfectly, the ghosts will disappear, and the trapped people will be able to escape as long as they are not dead. This has been recorded before... "

Li Xiao said, "I see... So you are really sure that you can pass the level perfectly?"

It was not yet 3 o'clock, so he naturally didn't mind chatting with this girl to pass the time.

The girl's expression was a little gloomy, "Yes, probably..."

Li Xiao said, "You ran away from home, right?"

The girl said warily, "How do you know that you know me?"

Li Xiao chuckled, "You can tell from the looks of it. It would be too weird for a daughter to be trapped in a ghost, and her parents would let another go on an adventure..."

The girl's expression was a little gloomy, "Father did say there is no hope, but I don't believe it. My sister is so powerful..."

Li Xiao said, "You are also strange. Since you think your sister is powerful, why don't you just wait outside for news? Instead, you want to take risks. What if your sister comes out and you are trapped again?"

The girl was stunned, obviously thinking that what Li Xiao said made sense.

At this time, a bus drove over silently.

The bright red number 33 on the bus is particularly eye-catching.

Creaking, the bus stopped at the platform and the door opened.

Li Xiao walked up,
I heard the driver say in a deep voice, "Insert a 10 yuan coin."

Li Xiao raised his hand and pressed the place where the card was swiped, and 10 points of cheat coins were deducted.

The girl wanted to follow him on the bus.

Li Xiao said, "Don't go, think more about your parents, and if your sister can really survive a month, then she should be able to come back after tonight..."

The girl stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

Creaking, the door closed and the bus drove away.

The girl returned to the bus stop and sat down frustrated.

She didn't know whether she really thought about her parents or was temporarily timid, so she didn't get in the car at the last moment.

But she didn't go back, she just sat there blankly,

The man said that after tonight, my sister should be back.

She chose to believe that man's words.

on the bus,

Li Xiao received the task,

Mission: reach the terminal alive.

He looked at the car full of weirdos, came to a yellow-haired weirdo, and slapped him away.

"I don't know how to give up my seat when I see an elder..."

Everyone in the car turned to look at him.

He Shiran sat down and said, "What are you looking at? If you weren't afraid of disturbing the driver's driving and not being able to enter the ancient city, I would accept you now and get out..."

The aura of fear began to emanate from him,
This made all the weird ones tremble.

The bus was swaying and the driver was obviously frightened.

Li Xiao said angrily, "Driver, can you just ride the horse and drive properly...Forget it, I'll do it myself..."

As he spoke, he pushed the driver aside.
He sat in the driver's seat and started the bus.

"Show me the way. If you go the wrong way, I will let you know what real fear is..."

The bus driver shivered and began to give directions.

After driving for a while, we came to a bridge.
Suddenly an extremely fat and ugly aunt suddenly rushed out, shouting, "I want to get off the car, stop for me..."

As he said that, he ignored Li Xiao's Food of Fear aura and rushed forward, trying to snatch the steering wheel.

Hidden mission: This was a tragedy that could have been avoided, but unfortunately no one stopped it at the time. Can you avoid this tragedy?
Li Xiao exclaimed, "There is actually a hidden mission?"

As he drove, he took out the Soul-Eating Flag and waved it gently.

With a roar, an equally fat and ugly green strange stood in front of Big Mom.

"If you dare to take my boss's steering wheel while riding a horse, you are seeking death!!"

The green poisonous monster roared and collided with the big mom monster.

Amidst the loud bang bang bang sound, a huge shock wave capable of destroying a hill spread from between the two people.

The terrifying shock wave swept away all the other weird things,
The weaker ones will simply float away and die.

But the little bus was unscathed.

Li Xiao snorted coldly and waved the Soul-Eating Banner while driving.

Amid the tinkling of bells, Auntie was quickly suppressed.
She is always just a transitional ordinary two-star ghost monster boss,

Originally, he was not the opponent of the Green Poison Slayer who had been promoted to a two-star elite BOSS.

Coupled with the interference of the soul-inducing bell, he was immediately completely suppressed.

Then Li Xiao waved the Soul-Eating Flag and took it in.

Mission accomplished: This was a tragedy that could have been avoided, but unfortunately no one stopped it at the time. Can you avoid this tragedy?
Reward: 10000 guile coins
Reward obtained: Certificate of bravery (props)

Li Xiao looked strange, "You actually gave me a certificate of bravery for justice?"

Certificate of Bravery: A two-star prop. Holding this certificate can enjoy a [-]% discount in the secondary trading market.

Li Xiao chuckled and put away this unexpected surprise.

Soon the bus drove into a deep tunnel.

After exiting the tunnel, a quaint city appeared in front of us.

The bus stopped in front of the city gate,
The driver said, "Dear passengers, the terminal has arrived..."

Complete the mission: reach the terminal alive.

Reward: 1000 guile coins.

This is just an ordinary mission, and nothing is dropped except trick coins.

When Li Xiao saw that he had arrived at his destination, he easily put the driver and other passengers into the Soul-Eating Banner.

He got out of the car and looked at the ancient city.

The ancient city is like a huge monster with its mouth open.

Waiting for prey to enter.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm not sure who the prey is. I heard there's a lot of weirdness here..."

There is no strange guard at the city gate;

He pushed open the city gate and walked in.

After entering the city gate, my eyes suddenly opened up.
We actually came to an ancient city.

It’s bustling inside, with many shops on the street, making it very lively.

At the same time, Li Xiao received the task.

Hidden mission: Investigate the secret of the destruction of the ancient city.
