Chapter 427: 142 Peak Core Formation Strength, Divided Spirit Cultivation Technique (10K for Monthly Tickets)_5
Upon hearing this, the Black Flood Dragon Daoist said: “Yes, yes, indeed, my friend has a discerning eye. The news about the appearance of Spirit Jade marrow in this three-tiered Spirit Jade stone mine was revealed to me by the Yu and Meng families in the Gongyue Xian City. As soon as I left seclusion, I brought my people over.”
“It’s obvious that I was used as a pawn by others.”
As expected!
The humanoid puppet sneered, looking at the Black Flood Dragon Daoist, “Do these two families want you, Black Flood Dragon Daoist, to risk your life, and you’re just going to let them get away with it?”
The Black Flood Dragon Daoist’s eyes flickered with understanding and he promptly responded, “Certainly not! No one has ever dared to mock us, the Black Flood Dragon Merchants, in this Black Flood Dragon River area!”
“Whatever happens, I, the Black Flood Dragon, will definitely give you an explanation!”
Upon hearing this, the humanoid puppet’s chilling gaze returned to normal. He glanced at the refined gentleman, terrifying him into taking a step back with a deathly pale face, almost stumbling to the ground.
The humanoid puppet said, “Well, I’m not sending you off.”
“My friend, we take our leave!”
The Black Flood Dragon Daoist, feeling as if he had been pardoned, immediately led his people away without another word.
Only when they were far away did the Black Flood Dragon Daoist finally breathe a sigh of relief, a mix of shock and fear.
Damn it!
This time they almost offended a truly formidable existence, they were terrified!
In living in the Sangmu Prefecture, the Black Flood Dragon Daoist had always had a mental note of forces that should not be provoked, with the Book Tower at the top of the list!
Even those companies or family forces presided over by Nascent Soul True Monarchs ranked below the Book Tower.
It goes without saying how anxious the Black Flood Dragon Daoist was for this encounter.
It wasn’t just the Black Flood Dragon Daoist.
The refined gentleman following behind him was also terrified, shaking like a leaf.
The Black Flood Dragon Merchants were indeed the dominant force around this stretch of the Black Flood Dragon River, and could act unimpeded.
However, in the face of certain forces, the Black Flood Dragon Merchants were nothing but insignificant ants!
If they were not noticed by these forces, it was fine, but if they had attracted their attention, the disappearance of the Black Flood Dragon Merchants would be an unknown number!
Without a doubt.
Among the forces capable of doing this, the Book Tower was one of them.
Just now, he had provoked a person from the Book Tower at the peak of Core Formation –
If such a person were to bear a grudge against the Black Flood Dragon Merchants and invoked the Nascent Soul True Monarch, it would spell the end for them!
“Boss, what should we do now?” The refined gentleman was terrified, his voice trembling.
The Black Flood Dragon Daoist gave him a fierce look, his eyes filled with a murderous intent, and growled, “What to do? We have been made a fool of, what do you think we should do?”
“You need to recuperate. After you have healed your injuries, enter the Gongyue Xian City and bring back the heads of the two from the Yu and Meng families!”
“Take them to the mine as an apology!”
“Remember, don’t be reckless again, be respectful!”
The people from the Black Flood Dragon Merchants came quickly, and left just as quickly.
Outside the mine.
Lín Shu watched all this dumbfounded.
Only after the people from the Black Flood Dragon Merchants had all left did she turn to look at the humanoid puppet, her eyes gradually widening and rounding in shock as she stared at the humanoid puppet.
A moment later, Lín Shu stammered, “You, the token you used just now, was it the Book Tower’s Token?”
The humanoid puppet withdrew his gaze, glanced at Lín Shu, and nodded indifferently, “Hmm.”
Hearing this, Lín Shu suddenly became excited: “Ah, it turns out the senior is a member of the Book Tower — no wonder the senior is so terrifyingly strong, and even dared to stand against the people of the Black Flood Dragon Merchants.”
“Fortunately, fortunately, I don’t have to die.”
The humanoid puppet:
Are you that scared of dying?
He turned and walked into the mine, “All right, the matter has been resolved, let’s go back.”
This time, he chose to use the Book Tower’s token to solve the problem.
Rather than resorting to a conflict with the Black Flood Dragon Merchants.
This was not because he was inferior in power to the Black Flood Dragon Merchants, but because he didn’t want to completely expose his strength. There wasn’t much to gain from killing the people from the Black Flood Dragon Merchants.
On the contrary, this move could potentially attract the attention of other forces.
Completely exposing himself to the various forces in Sangmufu.
By using the Book Tower’s token to solve the trouble with the Black Flood Dragon Merchants, the matter could be settled quietly like this, without attracting any attention.
He could then stay in the mine in peace, allowing the Sky Thunder Rat monster group to continue mining the Spirit Jade ore.
No matter how you look at it, this outcome is the best.
As for whether the Book Tower’s Token could suppress the Black Flood Dragon Merchants, the humanoid puppet had naturally thought of that.
If it really can’t, then they can just fight.
With the Book Tower’s token on him, in case of any trouble, he can hide in the Book Tower in Sangmu Fairy City. There shouldn’t be a big problem.
Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn’t dare to defy the Book Tower, right?
Meanwhile.
In Gongyue Xian City, both the Gao family ancestor Gao Teng and family head Gao Yuanyuan knew about the Black Flood Dragon Merchants entering the mine, their faces changing dramatically.
Gao Yuanyuan trembled, “Ancestor, the Black Flood Dragon Merchants have set their sights on the mine!”
Gao Teng’s expression changed for a moment, before he said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic, panicking won’t help, we can’t intervene — let’s wait and see what the outcome will be!”
On the other hand, when the Yu and Meng families heard this news, they were overjoyed.
“Hahaha! The Black Flood Dragon Merchants finally came!”
“This presence — it’s undoubtedly the Black Flood Dragon Daoist himself. Tsk tsk tsk, the Black Flood Dragon Daoist is a strong cultivator at the very peak of the Core Formation stage, and even has a top-tier third-grade creature as his mount. With such strength, how can that person stand a chance?”
