Chapter 885 My Wuyin City is Invincible
Wudu at night.
The entire city was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, which was different from the Wu Dynasty and other states.
In other states, the high and mighty sects wouldn't bother with the common folk's Spring Festival games.
However, in the Wu Dynasty, this was a manifestation of cohesion and a sense of belonging, and even the Holy Emperor would personally participate.
The grand Dharma assembly came about in this way.
At this time, the geniuses from the four major martial cities had already settled in a high mountain.
This mountain is located in the center of Wudu, with the Wu Dynasty's imperial palace at its summit, and the mountainside where they are located is a place that ordinary martial artists would never dare to dream of.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance from the mountains permeates the soil. On the ground, six people are sitting in a circle.
"We've already found out. The people from Wuyin City live right across from us. This fork in the road is the only way. No one dares to fly around in the palace; they can only obediently walk this way. They'll definitely find us!"
Jin Lingfeng spoke in a low voice, looking excited and beaming.
Qin Chen, who was from Pengze County, was a little worried: "What if they don't take the bait?"
"Impossible! The people of Wuyin City take pride in insect fighting. As long as they see us fighting, they will definitely be unable to resist coming to join in the fun!"
"But we don't have insect fighting machines!"
Xiang Qianxiu spoke up shyly.
Indeed, those present at this moment, besides Ye Kang and Jin Lingfeng, also included Princess Wei Huan, Qin Chen and Xiang Qianxiu from Pengze County, and Su Hongxiu.
As for Shen Guili, he had no interest in such trivial matters and naturally wouldn't participate.
In fact, Qin Chen and Xiang Qianxiu weren't interested either, but in order to build a good relationship with the prince and the princess, they reluctantly agreed to participate.
They were somewhat embarrassed when they realized they didn't have any fighting insects.
I never play it normally!
Seeing this, Jin Lingfeng looked at Wei Huanyan: "Princess, you're also going to the insect fighting arena, surely there will be insects to fight, right?"
Wei Huanyan nodded blankly: "Grandpa gave me one, but I've never used it, so I don't know how strong it is."
"It's okay, we can just act it out."
"Actually, there's one more person who has it."
Ye Kang suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked over with curiosity.
Ye Kang then turned to look at Su Hongxiu.
Schoolmaster, stop pretending. With your gambling addiction, how could you possibly not have fighting insects on you?
Sure enough, facing Ye Kang's gaze, Su Hongxiu looked away guiltily: "You rascal, you have no manners! Who told you I had one?"
"Master, if this succeeds, we can make a fortune," Ye Kang whispered, inadvertently stirring up Su Hongxiu's gambling instincts.
Sure enough, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the academic leader, and then he opened his right hand and took out two insect sacs.
"I'll trust you this once, please don't tell my dad!"
"Don't worry, we will never let General Su know."
Jin Lingfeng patted his chest confidently before giving Ye Kang a look of admiration.
You really know Su Hongxiu well; you actually hid two fighting insects. Now it'll be even easier for you to act.
The crowd immediately dispersed, clearing a large open space.
Ye Kang took out a bunch of array symbols and casually laid them out. Some of them turned into the floor and some into the walls, instantly forming a fighting arena composed of arrays.
Of course, since the formation was made on the spot, it didn't look very sophisticated, and its quality couldn't compare to a real arena.
But this scene still drew the attention of the others, especially Qin Chen and Xiang Qianxiu, who were both greatly shocked as they looked at Ye Kang.
At first, the two of them didn't take Ye Kang seriously at all, after all, he had only just undergone Nirvana and could be considered the weakest of them all.
But once this skill of instantly casting arrays was revealed, neither of them dared to underestimate him anymore.
Ye Kang's mastery of formations is simply terrifying! Such a person must not be befriended, lest one fall into an endless array and die a miserable death.
The young princess also looked on with curiosity, watching Ye Kang set up the formation while saying, "You're very capable, just like Grandpa Turtle at home."
"Princess, why are you swearing?" Jin Lingfeng asked instinctively.
Wei Huanyan immediately shook her head: "I'm not swearing. Grandpa Turtle is an elder in the family. His true form is a Luoshui Xuan Turtle. He is most skilled in formations and divination. In my family, apart from Grandpa, everyone has to bow to Grandpa Turtle when they see him."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The Black Tortoise of the Luo River is a creature born with good fortune and prosperity!
Originating from the Luo River, this divine creature has fragments of the Hetu and Luoshu rubbings on its shell. It is born with a profound understanding of divination, possesses extraordinary wisdom, can predict good and bad fortune, and understand the workings of creation. It is the wisest among those blessed with good fortune.
Only after hearing Wei Huanyan's explanation did everyone realize that the Luoshui Xuan Turtle was actually skilled in setting up formations.
Others can also create such miraculous instant formations.
Having witnessed the power of the Fortune Seed, Ye Kang naturally dared not underestimate it. He immediately said, "Senior Turtle must be well-versed in formations. How dare I compare my meager cultivation with yours?"
"That's true. If there's a chance another day, I can introduce you to him. Grandpa Turtle loves to guide the younger generation, and he'll definitely like you."
"That would be wonderful, thank you for your kindness, Princess."
Ye Kang quickly cupped his hands in greeting. This was a golden opportunity; he could get close to the Prince's residence and meet the Prince's second-in-command. It was an incredible chance.
Everyone was envious. At this moment, Ye Kang had also completed his formation. Jin Lingfeng immediately gave the order for Su Hongxiu's two fighting insects to enter the arena.
The chief's fighting insects are also extraordinary; they are all top fighters among the Star Luo Realm fighting insects, covered in scars and having fought countless battles.
The fight that broke out at this moment, though merely a performance, was still deadly in every move, leaving the audience thoroughly entertained.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the fork in the road, a group of bright young talents happened to be taking a stroll.
The leader had a smile on his face and squinted eyes, and looked like a gentle and honest person.
He was wearing a blue long robe with cloud patterns embroidered on the chest. As soon as he walked over, he looked at the person opposite him in surprise.
"Is someone having a bug-fighting contest?"
"Brother Shangguan, this is quite interesting. Who would dare to fight insects in the palace?" A young man in a golden robe behind him sneered.
"Judging from their attire, they should be fellow Daoists from Wuyang City."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a clever little man on the right rolled his eyes and said, "I'm itching to take a look. You all can do as you please."
Seeing the dwarf walk away, Shangguan Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I had long heard that Fellow Daoist Chunmo was obsessed with insect fighting, and it is indeed true. However, Wuyang City specially set up a arena here. The purpose is a bit too obvious."
Shangguan Yan saw through Jin Lingfeng's plan at a glance. Wasn't he just deliberately trying to please them and lure the people of Wuyin City into a duel?
Such an open scheme actually suited Wuyin City's tastes perfectly.
Furthermore, the people of Wuyin City will not be afraid.
Sure enough, the golden-robed youth next to him stroked his chin and said with a smile, "What's there to be afraid of? My friends are also experts in insect fighting. Since the people of Wuyang City are acting so arrogantly, I can't let them get away with it. I'll send a message to call for help. Brother Shangguan, please go first. Don't let Fellow Daoist Chunmo go to the meeting alone."
The young man in the golden robe left immediately, and Shangguan Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Although he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, he couldn't do too much to stop the competitive spirit of the martial artists in Wuyin City.
Thinking of this, he immediately followed, only to see Chun Mo casually ask, "Are you a fellow Daoist from Wuyang City ahead?"
finally come!
Ye Kang and Jin Lingfeng exchanged a glance and then turned around at the same time.
"Indeed, what brings you here, fellow Daoist?"
"My name is Chunmo from Wuyin City. Coincidentally, I also enjoy insect fighting. Would you mind joining me?"
"This……"
Ye Kang pretended to be hesitant and muttered to himself, "After all, this is the imperial palace. If we make too much noise, it might not be very elegant."
Chunmo frowned: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, we all know the rules. It's just a fight between insects. We will never involve ourselves, nor will we cause any big commotion."
Jin Lingfeng nodded and said, "In that case, please invite Fellow Daoist Chunmo to observe and offer some guidance. Would the person behind also like to join us?"
Shangguan Yan arrived just in time and could only nod upon hearing this.
However, Chunmo soon discovered that Su Hongxiu's two fighting insects, though they looked fierce, had been holding back.
He immediately snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "How boring. If it's not a real fight, why bother with a ring? Are all the people of Wuyang City so unpleasant?"
"Fellow Daoist Chunmo, be careful what you say!" Shangguan Yan quickly stopped him.
Jin Lingfeng's face turned cold: "What an arrogant Wuyin City! We treated them with courtesy, but you repay kindness with enmity. If you don't like it, then get out of here."
"What did you say!" Chunmo had a short temper and was easily angered, so she immediately flew into a rage.
"Sorry, sorry, we'll be going now." Shangguan Yan quickly grabbed him and started to leave.
He was already sighing inwardly; the other party had clearly come prepared and had planned it all out.
This is clearly an attempt to provoke Chunmo into fighting them. They're being so aggressive; if he were to rashly engage in a contest with them, he might just fall into their trap.
Unfortunately, it's still too late.
A series of footsteps were heard, followed by a cold, sharp shout: "How dare you presume that there is no one left in Wuyin City!"
Everyone looked over and saw dozens of people walking over, led by the young man in the golden robe.
The one who spoke just now was a female cultivator with a frosty face. She glared at Shangguan Yan and said, "Your gentle nature doesn't mean we should accept this humiliation. Since the fellow Daoists from Wuyang City have deliberately set this up, let's have a fight. After all, when it comes to insect fighting, Wuyin City is invincible."
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Instantly, Ye Kang and the other six burst into laughter.
Jin Lingfeng laughed as he said, "Interesting, interesting. This is the first time I've seen someone so confident. You claim to be invincible in insect fighting, how do you prove it?"
"You'll know by comparison to last time. So, tell me, what do you want to bet?"
The woman stepped forward, revealing the insect sac at her waist.
Jin Lingfeng's eyes lit up immediately: "Great! Since you've extended such a generous invitation, we certainly can't let you down. As for the stakes... we can manage to scrape together six million mid-grade spirit crystals."
After speaking, he looked at the woman, clearly waiting for her reply.
Six million mid-grade spirit crystals was an unprecedented sum for martial artists from small places, such as Ye Kang and the two from Pengze County. They couldn't even imagine that someone would bet such a large amount of money.
Only Su Hongxiu's eyes were burning with excitement, she was so excited she almost fainted.
What a huge bet! How exciting! How fun!
That's right, her gambling instincts were completely aroused, and at this moment she didn't care about anything else, she just wanted to satisfy her gambling desires.
"I'll add another top-grade divine weapon!"
Unable to contain herself any longer, Su Hongxiu rolled up her sleeves, took out a spirit sword, and slammed it on the ground.
"I'll join too!"
Suddenly, the previously silent young princess seemed to let loose and also auctioned off a treasure.
It's not a divine weapon, but a genuine acquired spiritual treasure.
Upon seeing this, Ye Kang immediately took out a small green boat as well.
Jin Lingfeng immediately followed with a magical treasure.
At this, Qin Chen and Xiang Qianxiu's faces turned green.
Are you guys crazy?! You're going to get involved in this too?!
With no other choice, the two gritted their teeth, each took out a divine weapon, and thus caught up.
This time, the people from Wuyin City turned green with shock. They never expected the stakes to be so high.
Six million mid-grade spirit crystals, plus so many divine weapons and spiritual treasures, are you crazy?
After all, not all of them came from wealthy families; some came from counties and were not from large clans.
But the aloof woman didn't hesitate at all: "Alright, six million, plus six spiritual treasures, I'll take it."
"what!"
Shangguan Yan opened his mouth, but met the woman's determined gaze, and immediately knew not to try to persuade her any further.
"It's a word."
Jin Lingfeng immediately made the decision, fearing that the other party might go back on their word. After saying that, he pushed Ye Kang out.
"The rules are simple: three of you come, and whoever can beat my buddy's insect fighting game wins."
"Shameless talk!"
"What an arrogant brat! Does he really think our Wuyin City is a pushover?"
"One person against three? That's a huge joke."
The crowd in Wuyin City was filled with indignation, and there were also various sarcastic remarks.
The woman frowned for a moment, then turned to ask for the opinions of the others.
She wasn't stupid, and naturally she saw through their scheme long ago, but her pride as a martial artist from Wuyin City made her not take it to heart.
As expected, the golden-robed youth and Chun Mo both nodded, and the others did not object either.
The woman then turned her head and said, "Then it's settled, it's a deal."
With the contract in place, Ye Kang didn't hesitate and stepped forward. With a thought, Biluo Langjun leaped from the insect pouch onto the arena.
The next second, the martial artists from Wuyin City who had initially been disdainful were all stunned.
Silence, stillness, everyone's expression frozen on their faces.
Wu Yin City is the most skilled at insect fighting, and naturally understands insect fighting best. They know Bi Luo Lang Jun.
This is the long-lost King of Insect Fighting, truly invincible within the Star Luo Realm. Once it appears, it will never lose a one-on-one duel.
Instantly, everyone's face turned furious.
No wonder this group was so confident; they had planned this all along. Isn't this a trap?
The woman's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "How did you get this fighting insect...?"
"An unexpected windfall, fellow Daoist, would you like to have a battle?" Ye Kang replied with a smile.
The woman took a deep breath, a hint of stubbornness appearing on her face.
"war!"
How will we know if we don't try? Is the legendary Biluo Langjun truly invincible?
Ten seconds later.
Watching her fighting insect turn into a neat pile of minced meat, the woman felt like she was grinding her teeth to powder.
Horse riding!
What a bully!
"Who else is willing to go up!"
The woman turned to look at the others, and all the martial artists from Wuyin City who had just been eager to try fell silent.
Even Chunmo lowered his head.
There was no other way; his fighting insects were very valuable. He couldn't just knowingly go and risk his life, or he'd lose everything...
Seeing this, Shangguan Yan sighed helplessly, "I regret it. I knew it would turn out like this..."
