NOVPUBChapter 817: Chapter 440 Attack on Luoyun Market Chapter 817: Chapter 440 Attack on Luoyun Market The next morning.
Outside the Luoyun Market, a blue flying boat descended just outside.
At the entrance of the market, scattered cultivators queued up, being inspected in an orderly fashion by the market city supervisors.
With the arrival of the flying boat, it immediately drew the attention of everyone there.
Among the queued cultivators, those with keen eyesight noticed the blue flying boat at first glance, recognizing it as a Second Order Superior Flying Artifact.
“Look quickly, that’s a Second Order Superior Flying Artifact!”
At those words, a wave of surprise spread rapidly, causing everyone to stop and stare at the flying boat ahead.
...
After all, the value of a Second Order Superior Flying Artifact was exceedingly high, and even among the hundreds of Foundation Establishment families in the Wei Kingdom, it was rare to possess such a grade of flying artifact.
Therefore, in the eyes of these Qi Refining Cultivators, the flying boat was a top-tier treasure, a sight they scarcely encountered.
Under the gaze of many cultivators, a flash of light swept over the blue flying boat, and more than a hundred cultivators stepped out, led by Meng Qingfeng of the Qingyun Sect.
As soon as these individuals appeared, some cultivators immediately recognized their identities, especially with the appearance of a Golden Core Cultivator, which sparked exclamations from the crowd.
“It’s actually the Qingyun Sect from Huangyang Kingdom!”
“The elder leading them, seems to be Elder Meng, right?”
Hearing this, many cultivators with puzzled looks asked, “Qingyun Sect?”
“Isn’t that a Golden Elixir force from Huangyang Kingdom? Why would they appear in Luoyun Market at this time?”
“What cultivation level is Elder Meng? Why would so many Foundation Establishment elders come to Luoyun Market? Could it be that something big is happening in Luoyun Market?”
“…”
Question after question continued, leading to a flurry of discussions among the cultivators, with few thinking about the underlying motives behind Meng Qingfeng and his group’s grand entrance.
However, a very few people seemed to sense something unusual.
After all, Qingyun Sect was a Golden Elixir force within Huangyang Kingdom, and for a Golden Core Cultivator to appear in such a small place was novel, let alone bringing along so many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Such a large formation moving together could easily indicate that something momentous was bound to occur in Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
With chaos currently in the Wei Kingdom and the fierce battles among the three great sects, the actions of the Qingyun Sect meant either they were coming to aid a certain sect, or they were undoubtedly looking to loot amidst the turmoil.
Otherwise, there would be no need to mobilize to such an extent.
As expected, a few Qi Refining clanspeople from the Lin Family, after a brief exchange at the entrance of the market, sensed an impending crisis.
They immediately sent a message to Lin Xingcheng, the Lin Family’s supervisor stationed at Luoyun Market.
Soon after, Lin Xingcheng received the message and quickly gathered another three Foundation Establishment clan members to rush to the market entrance.
At that time, Meng Qingfeng stood on the open ground outside the market, eyeing Luoyun Market’s Defensive Great Formation with an impatient look.
In the past three days, without expending much effort, he had flattened the Sun Family of Flying Eagle Mountain and the Luo Family of Baiyun Mountain one after another.
In addition, several Qi Refining Families with decent strength had also been unable to escape their fate.
Over the course of three days, as Protective Clan Formations were broken one by one, nearly two hundred disciples under Meng Qingfeng’s command, like tigers unleashed from their cages, slaughtered the cultivators of these families in a frenzy.
Their methods were extremely brutal, sparing even neither the Qi Refining cultivators who discovered their trail nor those who posed no threat to them whatsoever. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Within just a few shichen, a family that had made a name for itself in the Luoyun Mountain Range would be struck from the land of Luoyun Mountain.
Over the days, these targeted families suffered heavy losses. Apart from those scattered members who were outside, the rest suffered injuries and deaths to nearly all.
The Sun Family and the Luo Family, two Foundation Establishing Families with centuries of heritage, also could not withstand for long before they were decimated.
With the annihilation of these families, Meng Qingfeng, having plundered limited resources, lost interest and turned his gaze toward Luoyun Market.
Given the large flow of people and prosperous commerce in the market, the accumulated wealth would necessarily be much stronger than a few Foundation Establishing families.
Thus, Meng Qingfeng hurried to Luoyun Market without stopping, thinking that with Xu Zhi’s cultivation, coupled with an even larger formation attacking the Lin Family of Green Bamboo Mountain, the Luoyun Market would surely have already fallen and he’d be the first to reach it.
Unexpectedly, he arrived at Luoyun Market ahead of others, greatly surpassing his expectations.
At that time, Meng Qingfeng glanced at the cultivators at the market entrance and did not intend to delay. He launched an attack immediately.
With a wave of his sleeve, a black axe appeared in his hand. He swung it forward, and a golden blade of light shot out.
In an instant, the blade of light struck the market’s Defensive Great Formation.
After a loud boom, a pale golden barrier suddenly appeared in the originally invisible sky—the Defensive Great Formation of the market.
And after Meng Qingfeng’s strike, energy surged across the entire light screen, and the ground trembled slightly.
Following Meng Qingfeng’s attack, more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators, who had not yet entered the market and were still in line, were killed by the powerful shock before they could even let out a scream.
