Chapter 489 Blackmail
"Who did it?" Tu Liao took a long time to suppress the emotions that were almost out of control in his heart and asked in a stern voice.
"I don't know! Except for the six guardian soul tablets that were broken, there is no news from the others!" the man replied.
Jindan cultivators have not cultivated into immortal infants, so they cannot use their souls to merge into the immortal infants. They can only separate a wisp of their souls and leave behind soul tablets, so there is no way to know whether they are alive or dead.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" The muscles on Tu Liao's face twisted and became extremely terrifying.
"Your reinforcements were intercepted and killed halfway! Haha! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and heaven will have its just consequences! Tu Liao, you have done so many bad things that even God can't stand it anymore. Today you finally got your retribution, haha!" Qin Ziling laughed out loud upon seeing this.
"Everyone, kill them! Tu Liao's reinforcements won't come!" Everyone in Qingyun Fairy Island was delighted and ecstatic upon hearing this, and Qu Zhong was no exception.
Qin Ziling did not reveal any information about the plan to ambush the enemy along the way.
Firstly, the matter involves too many people, and the less people know about it, the less risk of it being leaked; secondly, Qin Ziling also needs Qu Zhong and others to perform in their true colors to dispel the suspicion of Blood Cloud Island towards him.
Although the possibility of Blood Cloud Island suspecting him is extremely small, once suspicion arises, it will often be magnified slowly. Therefore, even if there is only a slight possibility of suspicion, Qin Ziling must find a way to erase it.
Sure enough, when the people who had been feeling heavy in their hearts and worried about the arrival of enemy reinforcements heard the news, they were all overjoyed, and some even cried for joy. Those expressions were absolutely true feelings, and they could not act them out even if they wanted to.
"Let's go!" Tu Liao fiercely glanced at Qin Ziling and the others, but finally gritted his teeth in hatred and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"
"Tu Liao, our Qingyun Fairy Island is after all a fairy island conferred by the king himself. How can you come and go as you please?" At this moment, Qin Ziling shouted sternly.
"Haha!" Tu Liao laughed angrily upon hearing this, his eyes flashing bloodshot at Qin Ziling, and he said, "I want to leave, how can you keep me here?"
"If you want to leave, we naturally can't keep you here, but where are your people?" Qin Ziling sneered.
The flesh on Tu Liao's face trembled when he heard this. He never dreamed that he came here with such great momentum, thinking that it would be easy to massacre Qingyun Fairy Island, but in the end not only did he lose a lot of people, but now he can't even leave!
This is simply a great shame and humiliation!
Tu Liao stared at Qin Ziling, wishing he could use the Blood River Sword to chop Qin Ziling in half with one blow, but the Seven Kill Sword Formation was extremely powerful. If he wanted to leave, the Seven Kill Sword Formation could not hold him back, but if he wanted to draw his sword and kill Qin Ziling, the Seven Kill Sword Formation could definitely stop him.
"What do you want to do?" Tu Liao asked with gritted teeth after a long time.
There was no way. Half of his earthly immortal guardians had already been killed. If some of the six earthly immortals he brought this time were to be killed here, not only would the strength of his Nether Blood Island be greatly reduced, but it would also affect his position in the Blood Cloud Immortal Island.
Ancestor Xueyun is a demon himself, and none of his disciples are kind people. Once Tu Liao's strength is greatly reduced, someone might take the opportunity to dethrone him and seize his Nether Blood Island.
The Blood Cloud Fairy Island has more than a hundred islands under its jurisdiction, and the Dark Blood Island is one of the islands that ranks among the top in terms of fairy spirit and various resources. Many people have long been jealous of Tu Liao for owning such an island.
"I can let you go, but you have to leave behind a magic weapon, a hundred top-grade magic stones, a hundred 'Infant-raising Magic Pills' and swear not to attack Qingyun Fairy Island within ten years." Qin Ziling said loudly.
"What? An immortal weapon, one hundred top-grade immortal stones, and one hundred 'Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pills'? You might as well just go and rob them!" Tu Liao was furious when he heard this.
"Tu Liao, if you don't agree to this condition, just leave." Qin Ziling said as if he didn't want to talk.
Upon hearing this, the flesh on Tu Liao's face twisted and his teeth ground into a creaking sound.
The most powerful thing about Qingyun Fairy Island is their island protection formation. Once he leaves, there will be no one to hold down the island protection formation, and at least half of the other people will have to be killed here before they can escape.
The people watching the fight from a distance were stunned to see that the evil star Tu Liao was about to leave, but Qin Ziling raised the price and blackmailed Tu Liao severely at this time. They could not help but be stunned and could not believe what they saw and heard.
In this day and age, there are still such powerful people who dare to blackmail Tu Liao!
What’s more, the blackmailer is a Jindan cultivator!
Moreover, Tu Liao, this usually domineering evil star, was actually forced into a corner!
Qu Zhong and others were all terrified.
Blackmailing Tu Liao was something they dared not even think about!
"How about this, one top-grade Xuanbao, ten high-grade immortal stones, and ten 'Infant-raising Immortal Pills'." After a long time, Tu Liao finally said with a gloomy face.
"This..." All the spectators were stunned again, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"Tu Liao, you are the third elder of Blood Cloud Island, a dignified earth immortal in the late stage of Immortal Infant. How can you have the nerve to take out such a small thing? Are you treating a beggar well?" Qin Ziling curled his lips and said with disdain when he heard it.
"You..." Tu Liao was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Okay, okay, considering that you lost a large number of men, I can give you a half-price discount! But you can't lose the magic weapon." Qin Ziling said helplessly.
"One immortal weapon, thirty top-grade immortal stones, and thirty 'Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pills'! If you agree, I will give them to you right now. If you don't agree, I will flatten Qingyun Immortal Island and kill all the people there no matter how much it costs!" Tu Liao said with a sullen face.
"If you take a step back, the sky will be vast and the horizon will be broad. Why do you have to say such cruel words, Tu Liao? Okay, okay, I'll take the price you said, but you still need to swear in front of everyone that you will not attack Qingyun Fairy Island within ten years." Qin Ziling said helplessly and heartbrokenly, as if he had made a deal that lost a lot of money.
At this time, Tu Liao just wanted to leave Qingyun Fairy Island as soon as possible. Seeing that Qin Ziling agreed, he took out thirty high-quality fairy stones and thirty "Infant-Nourishing Fairy Pills" from his storage ring. He also ordered an earth immortal who was trapped in the Nine Ding Fire Crow Sword Formation to give up his flying sword. Then Tu Liao swore that he would not attack Qingyun Fairy Island within five years.
Qin Ziling and the other butchers swore an oath, then collected the "life-saving money", and then waved their hands, signaling Qu Zhong and others to let them go.
Tu Liao and others quickly left Qingyun Fairy Island.
The earthly immortal whose flying sword was finally harvested left with a look of frustration and resentment on his face.
As for the earth immortal whose flying sword was forcibly taken away and whose arm was smashed off by the mountain seal, his face was full of sadness and frustration.
The two of them originally relied on the magic weapons in their hands to rank high among the earth immortals on the Nether Blood Island. Now that they have lost the magic weapons, their ranking and status on the Nether Blood Island will naturally decline in the future.
Watching Tu Liao and others leave, the people of Qingyun Fairy Island burst into cheers, while those who were watching the battle in the distance were unable to recover for a long time and felt that it all seemed unreal.
Tu Liao actually left in disgrace and was forced to pay a large sum of money as "life-buying money".
A hundred miles away, on a cloud, Duanmu Song and others looked at the scene in the mirror and were unable to recover for a long time, with extremely wonderful expressions.
They planned and calculated thousands of things, but they could never have expected this to be the result!
"Why didn't Tu Liao's reinforcements come? Why did he withdraw his troops? And he also gave a lot of things to Qingyun Fairy Island?" After a long time, Duanmu Song said with a puzzled look on his face.
The magic mirror can only see distant scenes but cannot hear any sounds.
Upon hearing this, Dharma Protector Yin and others looked at each other, and had no way of answering Duanmu Song's question.
They also want to know why Tu Liao behaved out of character!
…
Cangyun Palace.
Qin Ziling and the young island master Lian Changfeng sat side by side on the top of the hall.
In the main hall, Qu Zhong and other Jindan cultivators were sitting in order. Among them, Yu Shibin, Weng Yue, Duan Yiqing, Zhuang Zhonglin, Yan Qimao and Tan Huiping were the six who had protected their master. In this battle, the six of them were stationed on the other six peaks, and together with Ma Wude, they controlled the Seven Killing Sword Formation.
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement and they looked at Qin Ziling with admiration.
"It's a good thing that you are here with us, sir. Otherwise, our Qingyun Fairy Island would be a river of blood and countless lives would be lost!" In the Cangyun Palace, Qu Zhong stepped out and bowed to Qin Ziling.
"Yes! Sir, you are really a god! This time, we not only defeated Tu Liao, but also made a lot of money. It was so satisfying, so satisfying!" Yu Shibin said excitedly.
"That's right. After this battle, let's see who dares to look down on our Qingyun Fairy Island!" said another Jindan cultivator.
"It's a pity that Tu Liao has the Blood Cloud Island behind him, otherwise only Tu Liao could escape safely this time, and everyone else would have to stay!" said Qin Huiping.
Qin Huiping is a female monk, but at this moment her face is full of murderous intent and regret.
"Blood Cloud Island?"
When Qin Huiping mentioned Blood Cloud Island, many people's excited mood suddenly calmed down as if a bucket of water was poured on them, and a look of worry appeared on their faces.
"Mr. Qin, Island Master, although we forced Tu Liao to swear an oath in public this time, he will definitely not keep his oath given his nature. Even if he still cares about his face and really doesn't come to attack Qingyun Fairy Island, he can also ask other powerful figures from Xueyun Island to attack us. We should make plans early!" Zhuang Zhonglin stepped out and bowed.
This person is the most steady one among the six Jindan guardians.
"I forced Tu Liao to swear in public, but I didn't expect him to keep his oath. I just wanted him to look bad in public, and if he attacks Qingyun Fairy Island in the future, it would be completely because they are not trustworthy. We are definitely in the right.
Don't underestimate this great righteousness. Once a person grasps this great righteousness, his heart will be at peace, his momentum will be three times stronger, and he will be able to display his true ability.
As for Tu Liao not keeping his oath and coming to attack Qingyun Fairy Island, I have already made a plan in my mind and will make some arrangements. As long as it is not the Blood Cloud Ancestor who comes in person, there will be no problem.
However, even if Tu Liao breaks his oath, he is too busy to attack Qingyun Fairy Island in the short term. Your top priority is to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible during this period. "Only strength is the key to being able to remain unchanged in the face of change." Qin Ziling said, giving people a sense of confidence that everything is under his control.
Sure enough, after Qin Ziling said this, everyone felt a lot more relieved.
Seeing the confidence on everyone's faces, Qin Ziling smiled faintly and said, "We have gained a lot from this battle, and everyone has contributed. Today I will distribute them to you, and you can use this opportunity to practice and improve your cultivation."
As he spoke, Qin Ziling took out the top-grade immortal stones and "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pills" that he had extorted this time , as well as the collections in the storage rings that he had taken from some Jindan cultivators that he had killed.
Then, Qin Ziling distributed the rewards to everyone according to their contributions.
One high-grade immortal stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade immortal stones. Not to mention Jindan cultivators, even for someone like Lian Yixiang, the former owner of Qingyun Immortal Island, it would be difficult to accumulate one stone after a year of practice.
More than two months ago, Qin Ziling killed Dong Kezhen and only found five high-quality immortal stones from his storage ring, while Dong Kezhen's storage ring contained the wealth of four earthly immortals, including Lian Yixiang.
One can imagine how precious top-grade immortal stones are.
On the contrary, the "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" is not as precious as the top-grade immortal stone.
One high-quality immortal stone can buy ten "Infant-raising Immortal Pills".
So when all the Jindan cultivators saw that Qin Ziling actually took out top-grade immortal stones as rewards, they were all shocked, surprised and extremely excited, and of course they also stood in awe of Qin Ziling.
The former island owner Lian Yixiang was considered a man of loyalty and righteousness, but he was still far behind Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling gave himself ten top-grade immortal stones and the "Infant-raising Immortal Pill", which was the biggest share he got.
But no one had any objections, and some even felt sorry.
They knew very well that without Qin Ziling, not to mention the rewards, even their heads would be off their necks.
Everyone received a reward, and it was very generous, and everyone was very happy.
After Qin Ziling distributed the rewards, he encouraged everyone a few words before he got up and left Cang Yun Palace and returned to the Five Elements Mountain Cave Residence.
"Greetings, Master!"
When Qin Ziling returned to the cave in the Five Elements Mountain, Zheng Xinghan and others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him come back, they all came forward to greet him with joy on their faces.
Qin Ziling already knew the details of the ambush, but he still encouraged everyone and rewarded them according to their merits.
A large portion of the harvest was taken out as rewards, and another portion was stored in the warehouse as the reserve wealth of Wujimen.
This time, Zheng Xinghan and his companions killed six earthly immortals and twenty Jindan cultivators. The harvest was naturally rich. Everyone got a lot of resources and they were all very happy.
Qin Ziling talked to everyone about the situation here, and then everyone dispersed.
After everyone dispersed, Qin Ziling entered the cave world.
There were six more fairy rainbows in the sky above the cave world, and twenty more golden pills in the Lei Xun giant stone formation.
The bodies of earthly immortals, including demon immortals and golden elixir cultivators were all buried deep in the earth of the cave world.
They all have strong bodies and contain abundant Qi and blood energy.
As the physical body dissolves and merges into this cave world and returns to nature, the cave world will continue to evolve at a faster rate.
"It's a pity that the cost of activating the fragments of the 'Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover' is too high, and I don't have the ability to activate it now. Otherwise, I would have twenty-six more Dustless Immortal Pills now!" Qin Ziling looked up at the sky, then glanced at the Lei Xun giant stone formation, and shook his head with some regret.
As Qin Ziling shook his head, a portal appeared in the Lei Xun Stone Formation.
At the other end of the portal is the small wind and thunder barrier.
As the portal opened, a golden figure appeared and stepped into the portal.
Now, Qin Ziling has to divide half of his soul into the small wind and thunder barrier every day to undergo the tempering of thunder.
Previously, because Tu Liao sent troops to attack, the tempering was forced to be interrupted.
Now that Tu Liao has been defeated, the daily tempering must be resumed.
Watching the golden body of the soul step into the portal, Qin Ziling's eyes showed a look of anticipation and a hint of fear.
The soul has been tempered by the thunder of the wind and thunder barrier. Although the effect is excellent, the taste is definitely "excellent".
Soon, Qin Ziling withdrew his gaze and went to the bank of Longyuan River, a large manor at the foot of Qianlong Mountain.
This large manor is the Qin Mansion in the Cave Heaven World, and Cui Yun lives here.
Qin Ziling went to the Qin Mansion to accompany his mother for a while, then left the cave world and returned to the Five Elements Mountain Cave Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the cave in the Five Elements Mountain, Qin Ziling ordered people to activate the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation.
As soon as the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation was activated, five dragons of different colors appeared in the sky above the valley and pounced towards Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling stood tall in the middle of the valley, clenched his iron fist, and his blood and energy suddenly burst out. He punched hard at the five dragons that were rushing towards him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Soon, in the middle of the valley, the wind from fists blew and the sound of collisions continued to ring out like thunder.
Qin Ziling fought with five dragons.
This is one of Qin Ziling's methods of practicing martial arts.
He has basically reached the peak of the late Golden Core stage in Qi training. The next step forward will be to overcome the Immortal Infant Tribulation.
But after the last experience with the Golden Core Tribulation, Qin Ziling now does not dare to go through the Immortal Infant Tribulation.
So now he is concentrating on improving his martial arts and his spiritual power.
"I'm coming too!" Soon Xiao Qing rushed into the valley with a gun, not fighting side by side with Qin Ziling, but wielding the gun to kill Qin Ziling.
"Come on!" Qin Ziling remained unafraid and continued to respond with his iron fist.
Soon, Zheng Xinghan and other immortal martial saints also joined in and besieged Qin Ziling together.
…
In a blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the battle at Qingcang Peak.
During the past six months, the people from Qingyun Fairy Island and Wuji Sect have been practicing wholeheartedly, and their strength has changed significantly.
On the Wuji Sect's side, Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo finally overcame the tribulation and became earthly immortals at the Immortal Infant realm.
Of course, the reason why able to overcome the tribulation and become earth immortals so quickly was not only because of their extraordinary talents and hard practice, but also had a lot to do with Qin Ziling splitting a medium-sized Wuchen Immortal Pill into two and giving them one each.
In addition to Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo, Cui Shanhe, Liu Xiaoqiang, and Qin Xingjun, the former prodigy of the Qin family, and three other great martial artists, all survived the human-immortal tribulation with the help of the golden thunder tribulation liquid.
Zheng Xinghan, a late bloomer human-immortal, made a breakthrough in just half a year and became a human-immortal in the middle stage of rebirth.
Over on Qingyun Fairy Island, although no immortal infants or earthly immortals have appeared in the past six months, many Xuan masters have broken through to become Jindan cultivators, and many Jindan cultivators have also made breakthroughs. Their strength has increased a lot compared to before the battle at Qingcang Peak.
However, the biggest change is the Seven Killing Sword Formation.
Originally, the seven flying swords that were the centerpiece of the formation were of the best-grade Xuanbao level. However, after the battle at Qingcang Peak, Qin Ziling seized an immortal flying sword and later extorted another one. Qin Ziling used these two immortal flying swords to replace the two best-grade Xuanbao flying swords.
As a result, the power of the Seven Killing Sword Formation suddenly increased a lot.
Of course, Xiao Qing and others intercepted them halfway, killed six earthly immortals, and also obtained some immortal weapons.
But Wuji Sect now has eight earthly immortals, and they also need to be armed with immortal weapons. Qin Ziling did not use it to suppress the core of the Seven Killing Sword Formation.
On this day, Qin Ziling was practicing on Yangyan Island in Sun Moon Lake, when Jian Bailou, Feng Ziluo and Zheng Xinghan came together.
