Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 148: Chapter 70: An Unsolvable Stratagem?_1

All Qi Transformation Stage cultivators could feel an overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from the white deer that was difficult to resist.

It seemed as if the deer had merged with this world, the elemental Qi between heaven and earth was flowing non-stop following the operation of its demonic power, suppressing the operation of all Qi Transformation Stage cultivators’ mana.

It seemed that if one were to use mana in front of it, they would immediately be backlashed by the elemental Qi between heaven and earth.

Qi training, Refining Elemental Qi, this is the Great Demon stepping into the second realm of Immortality Ascension, the Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation Stage.

Inside the box, Shen Yuan gazed intently at the white deer Great Demon in front of him, feeling the flow of Qi from its body.

Although he had faced the Fubo Dragon Monarch and killed him, the Fubo Dragon Monarch’s Qi Training Stage was only forcibly induced by the Dragon Bead of True Dragon.

Known far and wide, but the understanding of the Qi of heaven and earth was lacking, and it couldn’t be regarded as a complete Great Demon in Qi Training Stage.

On this white deer that can control the Qi, Shen Yuan felt a real threat for the first time.

” White Deer Mountain God, what do you mean?”

Even when facing the Great Demon, Yen Xiao was unafraid, and spoke up without hesitation to question him.

The White Deer Mountain God replied indifferently:

“I came here today to capture the murderer who killed four Mountain Gods and seven Qi Transformation Stage members of the monster tribe in my Yunfu Mountains.”

“You mean to say there’s a murderer in my Yunfu Street?” Yen Xiao’s aura was intense, and the grand formation of Yunfu Street slowly opened.

A series of formation patterns rapidly spread under the stimulation of spirit stones, and the invisible pressure in every cultivator’s heart suddenly dissipated. A giant pale purple eye looked down upon Yunfu Street from above the dome of the formation.

Even the White Deer Mountain God felt the destructive power contained in that eye.

But he still calmly said, “This Zhuming Chengye was bait used by our Yunfu Mountains to lure out the murderer.

Whoever wins the bid for Zhuming Chengye is the murderer who killed the Mountain Gods!”

As his voice fell, the forefoot of the White Deer Mountain God stomped on the high platform suddenly, making the whole Yunfu Street tremble with his power.

Before Yen Xiao could act, a terrified voice rang out from the perimeter of the auction venue.

“The monster tribe, the monster tribe is here!”

In almost no time, roars of monstrous beasts filled the sky and earth from the forests outside Yunfu Street.

Countless low-level demons in the Essence Refining stage rushed toward Yunfu Street from hundreds of miles around, and numerous Great Demons in the Qi Transformation Stage were hidden among the monster tribe driving them forward.

In the sky above, a total of twenty-seven powerful auras intertwined, and a majestic golden eagle soared above the sky, its harsh eyes locked on any potential escape routes in Yunfu Street.

The monster tribe scattered among the hills were all rushing toward this market as if wanting to completely devour the human clan within.

Yen Xiao, with the assistance of the grand formation of Yunfu Street, watched the view outside. His previously calm face finally changed, replaced by an incredibly serious expression.

Even in the previous major battle between the Yunfu Mountains and the Zhennan Army, they hadn’t sent out this many high-level forces. It seemed as if the entire Yunfu Mountains’ monster tribe had all poured out.

“White Deer Mountain God, are you intending to instigate a war between the human clan and the monster tribe?”

The White Deer Mountain God replied calmly, “We’re here solely to avenge the Black Wind Mountain God.”

Under the threat of the monster tribe, everyone was panicked.

Mount Laojun was indeed powerful, but they couldn’t guarantee that it would still have the ability to protect Yunfu Street against the entire Yunfu Mountain’s monster tribe.

Without a doubt, this was a life-or-death crisis.

In the Sky Number Four Box, Sunn Lanyu’s eyes sparkled, and his expression became eerily terrifying.

He wasn’t afraid of the Yunfu Mountain’s monster tribe attack; even the Yunfu Mountain Lord wouldn’t dare to risk offending the Ji River Dragon Palace by killing him, so he could protect himself in this crisis.

But after the White Deer Mountain God stated that the auction winner of the Zhuming Chengye would be the murderer, he suddenly became interested.

He wanted to see the person in the Tian Character Five Box begging for mercy in desperation when being taken away by the Yunfu Mountain’s monster tribe. “That must be interesting!”

Having thought of that, Sunn Lanyu said loudly:

“Since the White Deer Mountain God is only looking for the murderer, and he has found that the murderer is the one in the Tian Character Five Box whoever won the bid for Zhuming Chengye.

Wouldn’t it be better if we just let the White Deer Mountain God take the person in the box away? Then we wouldn’t offend others.”

Most of the people in the auction venue knew this, but considering the lavishness of Shen Yuan in the box and his unknown identity, they didn’t dare to speak out carelessly.

Besides, many people didn’t believe the monster tribe would mobilize such a large force just to find one murderer. They suspected some other unknown secrets were involved.

But now with Sunn Lanyu stepping forward, he undoubtedly became a target for everyone.

Immediately, someone in the Heaven’s Pride Association box exclaimed:

“Hand over the murderer, restore our peace!”

“Hand over the murderer!”

The shouts gradually turned into a wave, and the gazes towards the Tian Character Five Box gradually filled with resentment and blame.

In their view, the person in the Tian Character Five Box had brought about this life-threatening disaster.

The White Deer Mountain God glanced at Sunn Lanyu and then affirmed loudly:

“As long as the person from the Tian Character Five Box is taken away, the Yunfu Mountain’s monster tribe will absolutely refrain from offending Yunfu Street!”

Though his words sounded just and fair, Yen Xiao, who had had dealings with the Mountain Gods, laughed out of rage.

The so-called Mountain Gods were just expendable items. As long as the Yunfu Mountain Lord was alive, replacing a Mountain God was as simple as uttering a word.

Moreover, there is strife among the Mountain Gods and it’s improbable that they would muster a grand army just because one of them has perished.

The competition inside the monster tribe is not just fierce, it’s also very realistic. A mere Mountain God dying, bereft of any value to offer, let alone mobilizing all monsters of Yunfu to investigate the killer.

“This must be connected to a bigger issue!”

In an instant, Yen Xiao remembered the sun that had risen among the Yunfu mountains several days ago.

“Could that event be related?”

“If the Yunfu monsters discovered something during those events, and now intentionally auction off Zhuming Chengye, everything would make sense!”

Yen Xiao was horrified.

At that moment, his gaze collided with that of the White Deer Mountain God, witnessing a hint of mockery in its eyes.

Even before Yunfu Mountain Lord issued a decree several days ago, the White Deer Mountain God, along with other monsters, had sent their tribe to search Yunfu Mountains but found no traces of the intruder.

Yet this lack of trace somewhat became the primary suspect.

If a great entity was behind it, there would be no need to hide, as no one would dare to investigate them.

Since they aimed to hide, they must have their intentions.

The Mountain Gods zeroed in on Yunfu Street, just tens of miles away from where the Great Sun’s True Flames had initially risen.

It was highly probable that the intruder hid within Yunfu Street. However, another problem arose, disturbing the Mountain Gods.

The Old Ancestor’s Temple and several major sects were behind Yunfu Street. A reckless attack would lead to a vigorous resistance. The intruder might escape amidst the chaos, possibly triggering the hostility of Mount Laojun and other major sects.

To this end, the Yunfu monsters decided to auction off their treasured Zhuming Chengye, reserved for thousands of years inside the Yunfu blessed land.

Zhuming Chengye is a lower Elemental Qi of the Great Sun’s True Flames and fully qualified to ascend to the Great Sun’s True Flames. Such a treasure, when exposed, would certainly captivate the attention of the culprit.

With the help of the reputation of Mount Laojun, the culprit might participate in the auction and probably emerge as the final winner.

At that time, using the whole Yunfu Street as a threat, highlighting the capture of the auction winner would cause tension inside the Human Clan.

“As long as the internal conflict arises, considering the character of the human race, most likely, they will choose to expose the auction winner.

If that individual is indeed the intruder, no further action is needed.

But if they are not, we will continue searching amongst the crowd.

After all, if a betrayal can happen once, it can happen a second time. Once people’s hearts are divided, as long as they can protect themselves, they would replicate their previous decisions.

In this manner of selection, the real intruder will be eventually identified.

And we, the Yunfu Monster Race, could also use this opportunity to demonstrate our power towards Mount Laojun. It’s a complete two birds with one stone strategy!”

“That adult is indeed a descendant of the Mythical Beast Bai Ze, his strategy is indeed admirable.”

The White Deer Mountain God showed a cold smile, ignoring the thoughts in Yen Xiao’s mind.

As the market executive, Yen Xiao represents Mount Laojun as a whole. He has to consider the reputation of Mount Laojun in every decision.

Even though Yen Xiao may have pinpointed the truth, amidst the overwhelming outcry, he could only abide by the majority’s choice.

The White Deer Mountain God moved his disdainful gaze from Yen Xiao, shifting it to the Sky Number Five Box.

The investigation of the past few days and the reckonings of Yunfu Mountain Lord and the Bai Ze descendant hinted that the person who launched the shocking attack merely borrowed an external force.

His real realm might be much lower than what everyone imagined.

This also implies a massive benefit concealed behind him.

A Daoist artifact as a sect-protecting treasure? The powerful Divine Skills that cast that strike? The lost cultivation method he practices? The secret knowledge in his mind?

Just thinking about these is enough for endless people to flock.

At this thought, the White Deer Mountain God showed a touch of madness and spoke loudly:

“Gentlemen, I don’t wish to ignite a war either. But, the killer in Sky Number Five Box doesn’t seem to acknowledge his sin.

He wants to use the whole marketplace, hundreds of cultivators, as his shield to evade punishment. Are you willing to bear the danger that you should not face for his crime?”

“We won’t!”

“Kill him!”

“Drive him out of the market!”

The wave of outcry drowned the quiet Sky Number Five Box.

The White Deer Mountain God stood on the high platform, enjoying the feeling of manipulating these foolish humans to fight against one another.

The enmity of devouring him alive ignited an unprecedented exuberance within him.

“Such ignorant creatures.”

In this surging wave, finally, there was a reaction inside Sky Number Five Box. The clear ringing of a silver bell echoed out from the room.

“Ding, Ding”

A great fear rushed through the White Deer Mountain God. The Mountain God Seal inside his body trembled as if it had encountered the Supreme Emperor who controls the gods.

The accumulated faith power inside him was oppressing his own body, making him instinctively kneel down with reverence.

No mana fluctuations, no Divine Skills fluctuation, only a flat statement quickly suppressed the tsunami-like outcry.

“Ahem, Little White Deer, are you looking for me?”
