A New Source of Gray Mist
283
The surrounding Martial Artists saw that the Yellowbeard Ling Family Member.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
They were genuinely afraid that this yellow- Bearded Pirates was utterly ruthless.
They were also tied up as cargo.
And at this very moment.
Most of the Martial Artists remained silent.
They began silently clearing away the corpses inside and outside the City Walls.
These corpses.
They have family, friends, and comrades who fought alongside them.
Of course, there are also mortal enemies.
But at this moment.
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
Yun Yi stood silently beneath the City Wall.
He looked up at the towering, pitch-black City Wall before him.
Suddenly.
Yun Yi let out a long breath.
"Perhaps, Yellowbeard is right."
"With this City Wall standing here, once it loses the protection of Martial Artists, it truly becomes a target for the monsters on the other side to practice on..."
Humanity's Defense Walls.
In addition to the visible physical defenses, it can keep monsters on the other side of the City Wall.
Hidden within are various forces invisible to the naked eye.
It isolates the ability to detect through Mental Strength and Psychic Powers.
The power of the isolated Sequence Martial Artists.
The abilities of the Boundary Beast and the Domain Demon are isolated.
This is the culmination of human civilization and wisdom.
In this world, within the understanding of all humankind.
This City Wall is impregnable.
But this time...
This sudden and eerie Mist caught everyone off guard.
The War Fortress built from Defense Walls still stand.
But this place is now filled with death.
"Report!"
Just then...
A person wearing Camouflage Combat Uniform, helmet, face shield, and goggles.
A man with a straight back approached Yun Yi.
His expression and tone were extremely grave. "Throughout the entire defense zone, there are a total of 382 Martial Artist corpses!"
"The rest... are all missing!"
Yun Yi in agreement.
He then waved his hand.
The Martial Artist who came to report vanished instantly.
Together with the other Martial Artists, they rearranged the defenses here.
The Martial Artist remaining in the defense zone was naturally more than 382.
Those who have gone missing are probably long dead.
"Perhaps... there are still people alive!"
Yun Yi turned his gaze to the other side of the Defense Wall.
He began to silently make plans in his mind.
On the other side.
Ling Chengxin stared blankly at the screen displayed on his phone.
At this very moment.
He finally understood how the Ling Family had been targeted by the Bearded Pirates.
What the hell is this?!
What on earth is Ling Chu thinking?!
Capture a human martial Martial Artist and frame the Bearded Pirates?
They were even caught red-handed by the Bearded Pirates, and the whole thing was recorded on video!
With Ling Chengxin's cultivation level and discernment...
It's obvious that this video is definitely real.
And the people in the video.
It was his nephew Ling Chu, along with two guest retainers of the Ling Family.
"My nephew Ling Chu... has been arrested by you?"
Ling Chengxin's voice was somewhat hoarse.
Yellowbeard put away his phone. "That was just one of his Puppets; I've already destroyed it."
"They caught two other people."
"One price: ten Tier Twelve Flame Crystals, and I'll sell you this video."
"Otherwise, this video will just Auction."
Ling Chengxin: "..."
Ten Tier Twelve Flame Crystals!
What is Flame Crystal?
It is the most superior energy resource for all of humanity.
Even though the Ling Family is one of the Xia Country's Eight Great Martial Arts Families.
Even taking out ten Tier Twelve Flame Crystals at once would be painful.
But.
Upon hearing Yellowbeard say that it was Ling Chu's Puppet Body, he realized...
Ling Chengxin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Immediately.
He composed himself.
"Could you... make it cheaper?"
Jiang Fu looked at him with disbelief, "Are you bargaining with Pirates?"
"Fine, then don't."
"Anyway, there's no shortage of buyers for this video."
As they were talking.
Jiang Fu put away her phone.
He turned and left.
"Little Red Beard! Don't just knock on the people from the Lingyue Pavilion, knock on the Ling Family's Martial Artists too."
"Okay--"
The voice of Redbeard.
Accompanied by the sound of a blunt object being struck.
It came from afar.
Ling Chengxin suddenly shivered.
He quickly said, "Deal!"
Ten Tier Twelve Flame Crystals.
It's not just about the money spent on buying the video.
It's money meant to buy your life!
Otherwise, judging by the style of those two Bearded Pirates...
The Ling Family Member will likely be wiped out!
Jiang Fu stopped in her tracks.
He grinned broadly, "Alright, Tier Twelve Flame Crystals it is!"
Ling Chengxin's eyes widened instantly. "Wasn't it ten yuan? How come it's twelve yuan?"
Yellowbeard was also stunned for a moment. "I didn't say twelve yuan."
"I clearly said fourteen Tier Twelve Flame Crystals!"
Ling Chengxin: "..."
... They really are Pirates!
They're trying to haggle with me!
But.
At this moment, the second master of the Ling Family had already understood a principle.
You absolutely cannot reason with Pirates!
"... Okay, fourteen yuan it is!"
Jiang Fu looked at Ling Chengxin with some dissatisfaction.
They agreed so readily?
They didn't even give me a chance to continue!
"I only have two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals on hand, consider that a deposit!"
"I will personally deliver the remaining twelve pieces before the Auction begins!"
"However, during this time, we ask that you guarantee the safety of our Ling Family Martial Artists!"
The other Martial Artists from the Ling Family were one thing.
Even if it's Transcendent.
With the Ling Family's strength and resources, they are capable of cultivating such talent.
The key is the Sequence Martial Artist!
That's what we absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Jiang Fu took the two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals from Ling Chengxin's hand.
He muttered to himself, "We don't have the ability to guarantee the safety of your Ling Family Martial Artists."
"At most, they'll promise that the Bearded Pirate Group will stop kidnapping Ling Family Martial Artist."
Ling Chengxin curled his lip, "If you don't make a move, the Martial Artists of our Ling Family will be absolutely safe."
As long as the Bearded Pirate Group don't make a move.
In the entire Xia Country, who dares to kidnap anyone from the Ling Family Member!
Jiang Fu grumbled, "I'll give you the video after you give me the remaining fourteen Tier Twelve Flame Crystals."
Ling Chengxin: "..."
Damn Pirates!
I should have signed a Sequence Contract with him!
We must gather the Flame Crystals as soon as possible to obtain that video.
Otherwise, prices will inevitably keep rising!
Just as Ling Chengxin was about to speak again...
On Xin Linlin's enormous body.
Suddenly, a thick wisp of gray smoke appeared.
His entire body seemed to have become a burning charcoal.
"What's going on!?"
Other Martial Artists, including Yun Yi, also noticed the anomaly immediately.
The gray Mist spread rapidly.
In less than the blink of an eye.
This transformed an area of several dozen meters into a Fog Zone.
Jiang Fu's eyes lit up slightly.
"This guy's head must have encountered something inside, causing his body to change as well!"
"The Fog Zone that previously shrouded this place must have formed in the same way!"
At this time.
The gray mist emanating from Xin Linlin.
It was very similar to the Mist that had previously shrouded the Wilderness Zone of Jiangcheng.
It's just become much thinner.
Xin Linlin's mind is alive, and her body is alive too.
There is some kind of mysterious connection between the two.
Now.
His brain underwent a mutation.
This led to mutations in the body.
Let this headless body become a new source of Gray Mist.
