The General Battle Situation in the White Cloud Mountains

"It's not impossible to kill that Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer."

Seeing Ling Pengyun's confidence, True Person Bai Yuan's eyes trembled.

I remembered that I had guessed years ago that Ling Pengyun was valued by a powerful force in the Boundless Sea Region.

"Could it be that Ling Pengyun really has a powerful force backing him? What trump cards does he hold?"

Thinking about it this way, True Person Bai Yuan couldn't help but gradually become certain.

Otherwise, how could Ling Pengyun, who Golden Core First Layer stage, have spoken so solemnly about killing that Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer?

"Is what Ling Daoyou saying true?"

Ling Pengyun affirmed, "Of course."

Seeing Ling Pengyun's affirmation, True Person Bai Yuan smiled. "One and a half percent of the Spirit Vein is one and a half percent, but I have kept in mind everything you said today. If the situation is not as you described, my Hundred Spirits Sect will not give you this batch of Spirit Vein."

"Understood." Ling Pengyun was delighted to see that True Person Bai Yuan had agreed to the proposal regarding the share of the Spirit Vein.

"Since this matter has been settled, Fellow Daoist, please head to the White Cloud Mountain Range White Cloud Mountain Range first. I will also head there after I have finished dealing with matters of the sect."

"We'll meet up at the White Cloud Mountain Range then," said True Person Bai Yuan.

Ling Pengyun nodded slightly, then steered his Wind Cloud Flying Boat towards the direction of the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Several more days passed.

Ling Pengyun piloted the Wind Cloud Flying Boat, traversing hundreds of thousands of miles, and finally arrived outside the White Cloud Mountain Range.

He gazed at the vast mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see, and a sense of inexplicable crisis welled up within him.

This feeling was not pleasant, and his vigilance increased significantly.

Then, he turned around and gave instructions to the Wan Generation clansmen of the White Cloud Mountain Range who were sticking their heads out of the flying boat and looking at the White Cloud Mountains with curiosity.

"The White Cloud Mountain Range are quite vast, stretching for millions of miles. There are many Demon Beast, poisonous snakes and insects in them, so be careful in the future when you are in the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"If you disobey orders or act recklessly, I will not let you off easily."

Upon hearing this, the Wan Generation clansmen on the flying boat were all stunned by Ling Pengyun's words.

They all knew that Patriarch Pengyun was a decisive and ruthless person.

In fact, this Patriarch Pengyun once said in public that anyone who violated the clan rules would be executed.

How could they dare disobey the words of such a ruthless person?

Immediately, the thirty-one members of the Wan Generation nodded to indicate that they understood.

The same applies to Xiao Ling Chengxia, and others.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun was quite satisfied and continued to steer the flying boat deeper into the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Perhaps because the five major sects of the Yan Kingdom had eliminated many Demon Beast in the White Cloud Mountain Range, there were not many Demon Beast on the border of the White Cloud Mountain Range, and they could even be said to be rare.

In addition, Ling Pengyun deliberately let out his powerful Golden Core True Person aura.

Along the way, even when Ling Pengyun and his group encountered Demon Beast, those Demon Beast dared not attack the Wind Cloud Flying Boat.

They successfully ventured tens of thousands of miles into the White Cloud Mountain Range and arrived near the Five Elements Marketplace within the White Cloud Mountain Range.

The Five Elements Marketplace area is extremely large, covering thousands or even tens of thousands of acres.

This also led to the market being built in the style of a city.

The market town was surrounded by a city wall that was a hundred feet high.

The walls were covered with claw marks from Demon Beast, adding to the city's fierce aura.

Every now and then, cultivators would come and go at the entrances to the four city walls.

Just as the Wind Cloud Flying Boat entered the area of Five Elements Marketplace, a faint Array Formation Aura suddenly emanated from within Five Elements Marketplace.

Ling Pengyun, standing at the very front of the Wind Cloud Flying Boat, had a change of expression and muttered something to himself.

"Third Rank Array Formation!"

Immediately afterwards, within the core area of Five Elements Marketplace, a middle-aged, robust cultivator with a cultivation Foundation Establishment Completion, dressed in the Hundred Spirits Sect Daoist robe, rode a flying boat to greet the Wind Cloud Flying Boat.

Before long, the middle-aged, robust cultivator arrived in front of the Wind Cloud Flying Boat.

"Senior Ling!"

The middle-aged, burly man looked at Ling Pengyun with a hint of envy on his face, and respectfully greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.

Ling Pengyun looked at the burly middle-aged man, and some memories surfaced in his eyes.

He had a long history with this burly middle-aged man, and the man had even saved his life once.

This person is none other than Zhang Yan, a fierce general under the command of the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor. Zhang Yan is also the current Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs of the Hundred Spirits Sect, holding a high position and great power within the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Originally, he was just the deputy Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect's Hall of Affairs. However, after the previous Hall Master True Person Bai Yuan, advanced his cultivation to the Golden Core stage, Zhang Yan, as the deputy Hall Master, was promoted in rank under the strong protection of the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor.

Since the war in the White Cloud Mountain Range began decades ago, this powerful Body Cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment Completion has followed the disciples of the Hundred Spirits Sect to fight in the White Cloud Mountain Range.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Yan, we can address each other as peers."

"By the way, fellow Daoist, with your strength, why are you currently stationed here in Five Elements Marketplace, which is located in the rear?"

After making a joke, Ling Pengyun asked, puzzled.

Although Five Elements Marketplace is also located within the White Cloud Mountain Range, the surrounding area of tens of thousands of miles is occupied by the Yan Country Five Sects Five Elements Marketplace.

Currently, Five Elements Marketplace can be considered an extremely safe place.

If the Demon Beast of the White Cloud Mountain Range want to attack Five Elements Marketplace, they would have to conquer the entire surrounding area of Five Elements Marketplace of thousands of miles.

"Recently, when I followed my sect leader to conquer the territory of the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan, I obtained a third-tier spiritual item."

"That third-tier spiritual object has the same attributes as my Lifebound Magic Item Lifebound Magic Item, and can be integrated into it."

"Under such circumstances, I intend to refine my Second Rank High Grade Lifebound Magic Item to the Magic Treasure Prototype in one fell swoop."

"Refining Lifebound Magic Item takes a very long time, and it's not convenient to be on the front line fighting against Demon Beast. So, half a year ago, I took on the job of guarding this Five Elements Marketplace."

Seeing that Ling Pengyun, who had already entered the Golden Core stage, was so polite, Zhang Yan was delighted and immediately explained in return.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's doubts vanished.

He thought that Zhang Yan, who belonged to the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor faction, had been suppressed by the Hundred Spirits Sect Master Hundred Spirits True Person faction, which was why he was demoted to guard Five Elements Marketplace.

"Judging from the current state of Fellow Daoist Zhang Yan, who belongs to the Spirit Talisman Senior sect, he must have been highly valued by the Hundred Spirits Sect's Golden Core Late Stage Master Hundred Spirits True Person."

"It seems that the four Golden Core True Person within the Hundred Spirits Sect are currently in a relatively harmonious relationship."

"However, this should also be related to Spirit Talisman Senior's temperament."

"Spirit Talisman Senior has always been steady and reliable. He used to come from the same faction Hundred Spirits True Person and had a good relationship with Hundred Spirits True Person. Unlike the Spirit Array Old Ancestor in the Hundred Spirits Sect back then, who had a rebellious heart."

"This situation is actually a good thing for the Ling Clan, as we don't need to take sides."

Ling Pengyun was lost in thought for a moment.

Currently, the Hundred Spirits Sect has four Golden Core: Hundred Spirits True Person in the Golden Core Late Stage, Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor and Bao Yuan Zhenren in the Golden Core Initial Stage, and True Person Bai Yuan in the Pseudo-Core Realm.

Baoyuan and True Person Bai Yuan are both disciples of Hundred Spirits True Person, and the three belong to the same faction.

The Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor was weak and alone, his faction consisting of only one person.

Now that the Ling Clan and the Hundred Spirits Sect are on good terms, if internal strife breaks out in the Hundred Spirits Sect, it will be difficult for the Ling Clan not to take sides and they will inevitably be implicated.

After regaining his senses, Ling Pengyun congratulated Zhang Yan.

"Then I would like to congratulate Daoist Zhang on obtaining the Magic Treasure Prototype."

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Haha, I hope so."

"Ling Daoyou, please come into the market. I have prepared accommodations and several tables of banquet for noble cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's expression turned strange.

The Five Elements Marketplace within the White Cloud Mountain Range is millions of miles away from the Hundred Spirits Sect's mountain gate. The journey is long, and the Wind Cloud Flying Boat he was riding was quite fast.

It was rather strange that Zhang Yan, who was stationed at Five Elements Marketplace, knew about the upcoming arrival of him and the Ling Clan cultivators beforehand.

"Your sect possesses a third-tier communication Law Treasure?" Ling Pengyun asked in surprise.

"That's right. There is a Communication Treasure Mirror between the True Person Bai Yuan stationed inside the mountain gate of our sect and the Hundred Spirits Old Ancestor who is fighting against the Demon Beast on the front line of the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"The two Old Ancestor, with the help of those two treasure mirrors, can communicate even though they are millions of miles apart."

"I learned of the arrival of noble cultivators because the Hundred Spirits Old Ancestor, who was fighting against the Demon Beast at the front, sent someone to inform me."

"The situation at the front is critical, and it is difficult for our sect's Golden Core True Person in the White Cloud Mountain Range to personally welcome you. We hope that you will not have any ill intentions."

Zhang Yan didn't try to hide anything and explained.

Ling Pengyun was startled. Although the function of the Communication Treasure Mirror was only to transmit messages, this item was very valuable, even more expensive than ordinary Law Treasure of the same tier by about 30%.

This is because this Communication Treasure Mirror, like medium and large airships, is a strategic treasure capable of transmitting messages over distances of millions of miles.

If a faction has a third-tier Communication Treasure Mirror to assist it, it can avoid a lot of trouble.

"The Hundred Spirits Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a major Golden Core sect in the Yan Kingdom; it even possesses such a treasure."

With his thoughts returning to normal, Ling Pengyun also rode his Wind Cloud Flying Boat and followed Zhang Yan into a restaurant in the core area of Five Elements Marketplace.

Ling Pengyun, a Golden Core, and his family were also specially brought into a private room at the restaurant by Zhang Yan for a meal.

The rest of the Ling Clan clan members ate in the restaurant's main hall.

Ling Pengyun had already had many dealings with Zhang Yan, and the two got along very well at the dinner table.

During their casual conversation, Ling Pengyun also inquired about the current situation of Zhang Yan's old friends "Qin Shi", "Xue Chao" and "Ye Yu".

Although he had not seen Qin Shi and the other two for more than ten years, he had never lost contact with them.

Whether it was Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi's wedding banquet in their early years or the Golden Core Ceremony, Qin Shi and the other two sent generous gifts.

"That kid Qin Shi is now following my sect and is still fighting against Demon Beast on the front lines of the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"Xue Chao has now advanced his talisman-making skills to the Second Rank High Grade high grade, which has earned him considerable attention from the sect. As a result, he was directly taken to the front line by the sect to refine Spirit Talisman Cave using materials obtained by the sect's cultivators from killing Demon Beast, and to supply the Sect Disciple who were fighting against the Demon Beast."

"As Xue Chao's Daoist partner, Xue Chao Ye Yu naturally followed him."

Zhang Yan said.
