Minor Fortune

"Ah!" Fang Yu is absolutely right. That's exactly what I said to those above. How can one trust someone with empty promises? That's why that True Disciple specifically asked me to bring four Spirit Artifact flying swords as a token of sincerity."

As he spoke, four ' Profound Grade Flowing Flame True Fire Sword ' appeared.

Chen Cheng's expression suddenly changed, his Divine Sense fluctuated violently, and his face revealed surprise and greed, "A high-grade Spirit Artifact!"

"Exactly!" Fang Yu chuckled.

These four Flowing Flame True Fire Sword were from his old inventory. For a cultivator like Chen Cheng, who was in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, their allure was no less than that of Golden Core fortuitous opportunity.

Chen Cheng looked at the four high-grade Spirit Artifact, his face clearly showing struggle.

He had been a guest elder in Mosquito Immortal City for so many years, and had only managed to accumulate one mid-grade Spirit Artifact. He had never dared to dream of a high-grade Spirit Artifact. But there were four right in front of him. As long as he agreed to betray Mosquito Immortal City, one of them would be his, and he would also get a 10% share of the spirit mine. The Divine Strategy Manor was truly full of sincerity. However, the risks involved were also extremely high.

"Aren't you afraid I'll immediately notify the sect leader and activate the grand formation to keep you here? Even if you're at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, you'll definitely have a hard time leaving this place alive!"

Fang Yu laughed upon hearing this, "Since I dared to come, then I have nothing to fear. Besides, I know your character well; even if you were unwilling, you certainly wouldn't betray me."

Fang Yu was naturally not afraid. This formation was already full of flaws to him. Even if he used all his strength, he was confident that he could leave. Even if he really couldn't leave, he only needed to go into the mining area and then head to Dao of Qi Ingestion.

Chen Cheng picked up his teacup and sipped slowly. Although he didn't completely believe Lü Bu's words, he was somewhat intrigued. Moreover, this man was at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, capable of holding out for a long time even when surrounded by a powerful formation.

Moreover, although there are seven Foundation Establishment in the market, apart from the market keeper who is at the mid-stage, the rest are all at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and one of them is from the Heavenly Strategy Manor.

If Lü Bu were pushed too far, he would certainly take a few people with him to their deaths without any problem. Among them, he would probably be the first to be targeted, otherwise the other party would not have come looking for him first.

"This matter is of utmost importance. Although I have a good relationship with the other three garrison commanders, I am not confident that I can persuade them all. If even one of them betrays us, we will all be doomed."

Fang Yu flipped his hand again, taking out an array plate and handing it over, saying, "This is the ' Cloud Net Concealment Array.' Although it has no offensive power, it can still trap those three Foundation Establishment for a while. When the time comes, you only need to invite them to have a meal and tea together, or come to this Wondrous Sound House for entertainment. It won't be long before the ' Lesser Thousand-Needle Nether River Formation ' outside is broken. Once the array is broken, you can explain the power to them and make them surrender and stop resisting."

Chen Cheng took the array plate and, with his Divine Sense sense, immediately sensed the power of the array. He also recognized that this was the very array he had arranged for the Array Master Zong to build for Lü Bu years ago. He never expected that Lü Bu would now be able to produce an array plate for a second-tier array and be so certain that he could break a third-tier array. It seems that the Jin Guizi's plan to kill him to keep it a secret was absolutely correct.

Who is your True Disciple?

"It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken!"

Fang Yu had only made up the name of the True Disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Manor on the spot; he still wanted to know who it was!

Chen Cheng asked casually, not really expecting Lü Bu to tell him, and began to make his own plans.

He had been stationed here for many years, watching countless mid-grade Spirit Stone pass through his hands, yet he could only obtain a tiny fraction. It was impossible for him not to be envious. If he could truly obtain even ten percent, even if divided among four people, it would still be a huge sum. Sending it back to his Lineage would surely allow the clan's members to quickly improve their strength.

He is now in his thirties, and has more than twenty years of good life ahead of him. Rather than continuing to be a guest minister, why not take a chance? If he wins, his Lineage will rise to prominence.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently swept away the four Flowing Flame True Fire Sword and the array plate, saying:

"Alright, we'll do as you say, but I need to determine the time for breaking the formation. Otherwise, I can't be sure if we can gather them all together at the same time."

"No problem, let's do as you say, fellow Daoist!"

Fang Yu immediately agreed, and then discussed the specific details with him, agreeing on the signal to take action, the method of notification, and so on. Afterwards, Fang Yu got up to take his leave and left Autumn Moon Mountain Market.

After leaving Autumn Moon Mountain Market, he returned to his temporary cave abode near the market and waited quietly. Many days passed without any unusual activity in the market. Fang Yu then stretched out his palm and carefully calculated:

[Small Blessing]

"Hehe!" Fang Yu laughed. After his operation, his plan to break through Autumn Moon Mountain Market was immediately turned into a minor success. This meant that Chen Cheng had not betrayed him and would follow his plan. In this way, he was almost certain to take over Autumn Moon Mountain Market.

There are currently seven cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage on Autumn Moon Mountain. Five of them are from Mosquito Immortal City. The shopkeeper who succeeded Jin Guizi is Daoist Mosquito's disciple, ' Fairy Crimson Refinement '. This person must definitely be killed.

The other four were Chen Cheng and his three companions. With Chen Cheng, a sociable person, gathering the other three was not difficult.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators were representatives sent by the Heavenly Strategy Manor of the Tang Kingdom and the Yellow Sand Sect of the Yue Kingdom. There was no need to kill these two; capturing them would provide more leverage for negotiations with the Heavenly Strategy Manor and the Yellow Sand Sect.

Although he currently only has one Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator and Zhuang Xian, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, as long as he breaks through the great formation and takes over, he can rearrange it with his own Qi Ingestion version of the "Lesser Thousand-Needle Nether River Formation". Even if Golden Core cultivator comes, it can hold out for a while.

The next step is to see how the four major Golden Core forces —Mosquito Immortal City, Cloud Spirit Sect, Heavenly Strategy Manor, and Yellow Sand Sect— react.

Several months later.

Zhuang Xian strode to the main hall of the cave abode and said in a deep voice, "A letter came from Mosquito Immortal City. Yesterday, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Bandit Cultivator used a Fire Thunder Pearl to test the Mosquito Immortal City's great formation. The place where the Thunder Pearl exploded was exactly a weak point drawn in the 'Formation Breaking Diagram'."

Fang Yu smiled upon hearing this, "Very good, keep an eye on things!"

In the days that followed, Fang Yu received intelligence from time to time that there were many Bandit Cultivator testing the Mosquito Immortal City's great formation, and they would usually fire a shot and leave.

Under Mosquito Immortal City's harassment and probing, the city's grand formation is now in a state of continuous operation, and Law Enforcement Team have begun patrolling outside the city.

Fang Yu immediately marked the patrol routes and locations of the Law Enforcement Team based on the intelligence, then looked at the 'Breaking the Formation Map' and smiled:

"Look, these areas that the Law Enforcement Team are focusing their patrols on are the weak points of the formation. Mosquito Immortal City must be adjusting the formation now. Our opportunity has arrived. You immediately send a signal to Chen Cheng to find an opportunity. At the same time, gather manpower and prepare to take over Autumn Moon Mountain Market."

"I'll make the arrangements right away!" A glint of light appeared in Zhuang Xian's eyes. He had already guessed what Danyangzi wanted to do these past few days, and now that he had received a clear order, he knew that the great fortuitous opportunity for the Zhuang Household to soar to new heights had arrived.

If they can truly take over Autumn Moon Mountain Market, then it is possible for them to become a Golden Core Lineage.
