Just when everyone was silent, there was a knock on the door.
After opening the door and letting the two people in, they saw the leading monk taking off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a young face.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Wuzheng bowed his hands to the many monks in the room and said, "I'm sorry, seniors and juniors, you're late!"
Although they apologized, no one dared to put on airs, not even Dao.
Zhao Wuzheng is the legitimate son of the head of the Zhao family, and with his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building and various means, his combat power is not weak.
Seeing the anxious looks flashing in the eyes of many casual cultivators, Zhao Wuzheng no longer wanted to show off.
Instead, he pointed directly at the monk who came with him and said, "Look, everyone, who is this?"
Hearing his voice, the monk also took off his bamboo hat, revealing a face that was familiar to everyone.
"Du Mingyi!" Many casual cultivators were surprised.
They have all been together in Linglu County for tens or hundreds of years, and they are all very familiar with the foundation-building monks in Linglu County.
Du Mingyi is the head of the Du family, so everyone naturally knows him.
However, the Du family is a black market manager and has always been hostile to the Zhao family. But now Du Mingyi, the head of the Du family, and the head of the Zhao family are walking together. It is self-evident what this means.
Several casual cultivators looked at each other, thinking of the Du family's sudden change of stance.
Seeing the surprise of many casual cultivators, Zhao Wuzheng showed a proud look on his face.
The Du family is also one of the managers of the black market. It was the most powerful family in the black market decades ago. However, it is now in decline and can only barely rank in the middle among the six families that control the black market.
Forty years ago, it happened that a foundation-building monk from the Du family died during the battle between the two sides in Linglu County. At this time, the sect's recruitment order was issued. During the battle with the monsters, the two foundation-building monks from the Du family went to the front line.
In the later period, none of the monks returned and fell to the claws of monsters.
A series of blows caused the Du family's strength to decline sharply.
As the strength of the Du family declines, many resources held by the Du family will naturally have to be given away, such as some shops in the street market and black market, some second-level spiritual veins, etc.
The most terrible thing is that the Du family's territory is at the junction of the two forces. Whenever there is a dispute, the Du family will bear the brunt of the damage.
But even so, several allies still did not provide much help to the Du family, the former big brother. Instead, they would take a bite out of them whenever they had the opportunity.
Of course, that's all. After all, every family will decline, so these families all have a bottom line.
Unfortunately, the head of the family, Du Mingyi, was a little intolerable.
When he first built the foundation, it was the time when the Du family was at its peak. However, overnight, three of the seven foundation-building monks in the family disappeared, including two in the late stage of foundation building and one in the middle stage of foundation building.
He was left alone as a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and three in the early stage of foundation building, struggling to support the family. Nearly half of the spiritual vein industry occupied by the family was also spit out.
This time, in order to ensure victory in the future war, the Zhao family not only recruited many casual cultivators, but also secretly contacted the Du family.
As expected, the Du family, which had long been resentful, formed an alliance with them secretly without much hesitation.
This time, Du Mingyi happened to be guarding the black market, and there was also the annual black market auction. Many casual cultivators entered the black market without alerting others. Therefore, the action was decided at this time.
"Seniors, there are formations in the black market. If we attack directly, we will be held back by the monks stationed there. When the supporting monks dare to come, the operation will be in vain."
Having said this, Zhao Wuzheng showed a bright face, patted Du Mingyi's shoulder next to him and said, "But with Brother Du as the internal response, things have turned around a lot."
"As soon as we made an attack formation, the black market would inevitably activate the formation. While the other monks guarding the black market were manipulating the formation, Brother Du made a surprise attack.
On the one hand, it can destroy some of the formation flags of the third-level magic circle, and on the other hand, it can injure a foundation-building monk."
Having said this, many monks in the room already relaxed their brows and smiled.
Zhao Wuzheng continued: "Previously, there were a total of eleven foundation-building monks on the second floor of the auction. Among them, you casual cultivators occupied five, an elder and I occupied two, and the remaining four were from unknown origins. They may be
A monk from another county.
However, when the black market was in chaos, apart from Brother Du, there were only four foundation-building monks guarding the black market. Even with the two defenders of Bianfang City on the ground, there were only five foundation-building monks.
We always have the advantage eight against five.
As for those monks with unknown origins, it's easy to deal with them. The monks are seeking money. In such a chaotic situation, I don't believe that those foundation-building monks won't have any thoughts.
The black market is in chaos and the defenders cannot spare their hands. These people will inevitably rob the shops, which will be a boost to us."
Everyone discussed for most of the night, and after discussing all the details of the operation, they were ready to leave.
"Everyone, when the sky is getting dark tonight, it is the time when I, another foundation-building monk, and two other monks who are looking after the core of the formation will change our defenses. At that time, I will destroy the core of the formation, and it will also be the time for us to officially take action.
.”
Du Mingyi looked at everyone in the room and said solemnly.
This is the only chance for the Du family to break the current predicament.
Otherwise, due to geographical reasons, it has always been at the border between the two sides, and it will be bleeding bit by bit by the opponent, which can only be a slow decline.
Even with the support of other families, the Du family can no longer carry out this scene.
As dawn approached, Chen Hongyu opened his eyes from the guest room. He planned to take another walk in the black market this morning. If he still didn't gain anything, he would go back to Beixuan Peak.
At this moment, a huge burst of magic burst through the black market.
Waves of formation fluctuations appeared, and a large formation suddenly formed above the black market. A large formation suddenly appeared with many shops in the black market as nodes.
Feeling the violent formation fluctuations in the black market, Chen Hongyu quickly opened the window and saw two foundation-building monks fighting continuously not far away.
"Tsk, there is internal strife in this black market, or there is another strongman who wants to attack the black market." In his previous life, he also met several strongmen who directly attacked the management of the black market.
When he opened the door, he saw monks walking out one by one from the many doors around him.
At this moment, a "creak" was heard, and the door directly opposite him opened.
When Chen Hongyu took a look, wasn't this the monk who left the mark of divine consciousness on his body?
Cao Wenwei was also slightly stunned, feeling the mark of consciousness on Chen Hongyu's body that had not changed at all, and smiled calmly.
After checking his eyes, he is the monk I want to kill and rob him of soon.
