Chaos!
After the Sky Blue Water Array was destroyed, the entire Green Bamboo Mountain Market plunged into chaos.
Individual Cultivators were the most humble, the lowest of the low, but also the most cunning and brutal group among Cultivators.
Once they determined that the Situ Family no longer had the power to turn the situation around today, greed was sparked in their hearts, and in an instant, it caused widespread turmoil.
Cultivators were being killed everywhere, and shops were being looted!
“Damn, it’s chaos!”
Fang Xi cursed under his breath and quickly fled towards the outskirts of the market.
Now was the perfect opportunity to escape while the second-tier array was broken!
He didn’t want to directly traverse through the market; who knew if any Foundation Establishment Cultivators had their Divine Consciousness released, occasionally sweeping over this area?
What if his secret ability to traverse was discovered? Wouldn’t that be a great amusement?
There were other Individual Cultivators like Fang Xi also fleeing, most of them being the prudent and reserved sort.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Fang Xi moved like lightning, with his camouflage clothing making him blend in and out without a trace.
Although everyone here was a Cultivator, not many would bother to use a Spirit Eye technique on themselves at this moment.
Moreover, he was running away from the chaos; the further from the turmoil, the smaller the danger.
Along the way, as Fang Xi passed by the slum area, he even felt a bit of regret: “The Spirit Rice I planted, and the buried wine…”
At that moment, the slum area was also in great disarray, with quite a few Cultivators looking at the fiery Green Bamboo Mountain Market with faces full of anxiety.
At the same time, more Spirit Farmers quietly returned to their rooms and picked up their magical weapons.
“Grandpa… Grandpa, don’t go!”
Beyond a fence, a boy about six or seven years old clung desperately to an old farmer’s pant leg.
“Good boy, Grandpa isn’t doing this for himself. Listen to your father, hide well, and wait for Grandpa to come back!”
The old farmer had deep-set eyes and was holding a long-handled tobacco pipe made of brass and white jade as a magical weapon, charging towards the market without looking back.
He had lived long enough. He might die this time, but he might also bring back enough Spiritual Objects to smooth his grandson’s Taoist path significantly.
“… head of the household…”
Amid the slum area, women’s cries could be heard from time to time.
Hearing too much of it, Fang Xi’s face gradually became numb, and then he went further away.
He had made up his mind that once he was far from the battlefield, he’d immediately make a run for Great Liang!
He would have to wait until this chaotic period was completely over before considering what to do next.
Boom!
Just as Fang Xi was leaving the slum area, a sudden loud explosion came from behind, and the terrifying wave of Spiritual Power made his heart tremble fiercely.
Then, he saw countless lights flying out of the market, fleeing in all directions.
“Being able to fly with magical items isn’t all that impressive, right?”
“Okay, fine, it actually is quite impressive!”
Watching one Cultivator after another control their flight items, turning into streaks of light passing over his head, Fang Xi commented with a touch of envy.
After descending Green Bamboo Mountain, Fang Xi’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Behind him, three Escape Lights were entangled in a fight… zipping past him in an instant and continuing forward.
One of the Cultivators using a dark cloud he actually recognized!
The person was dressed as a store assistant with only initial Qi Refining Cultivation, but now he was continuously taking out talismans from his Storage Bag and bombarding a green silhouette on an Iron Leaf Boat relentlessly ahead.
It was actually Qi Yingsong from the Hundred Tricks Tower!
This man once hired thieves to rob him; if it hadn’t been for Fang Xi’s breakthrough to the second layer of body refining, he might already be dead!
This vengeance could not go unanswered!
“Bitch, you can’t escape!”
Yingsong’s main role was as support; by his side, there was a burly man operating a flying shuttle with a Cultivation that had impressively reached the late phase of Qi Refining!
At that moment, this big man was eying the green silhouette, spitting out filthy and abusive language.
And that silhouette, Fang Xi was also very familiar with; it was Situ Qingqing!
“So, it’s her? She’s being pursued all the way out here?”
“Indeed, the situation of the Situ Family is already dire, are they trying to break out and escape?”
Fang Xi looked at the late-stage Qi Refining man in the yellow robe warily.
This man wore a hemp yellow robe, had eyes like brass bells, and a centipede-like scar twisted across his face, especially since his Cultivation had reached the late phase of Qi Refining, clearly not someone to be provoked easily.
In contrast, Situ Qingqing was only at the mid-phase of Qi Refining, hardly considered a force to be reckoned with.
‘Is it really worth taking such a risk for a single enemy?’
‘Maybe it’s better to let it go? I can seek payback for a big vengeance later, isn’t it better to pick on the weak in Great Liang?’
Fang Xi specifically took a detour, preparing to leave quietly.
What did Situ Qingqing’s life or death have to do with him?
As he took the detour, there was another change in the aerial fight above.
Ahead, Situ Qingqing, who was standing on the Iron Leaf Boat, turned pale, looked back at the yellow-robed big man and Yingsong drawing closer, and bit her lip before taking out a dull grey, lychee-sized bead from her Storage Bag and flicking it behind her.
At the same time, she pinched a charm. It flew up, transforming into numerous green pine needles, stabbing towards the ones behind her.
“Trivial tricks!”
The late Qi Refining yellow-robed big man sneered, casually releasing a golden longsword magical item, flicking away the pine needles, and then charged towards Situ Qingqing.
But when he saw the pitch-black spheres mixed in with the pine needles, his expression suddenly changed, “Not good… Yin Thunder Bombs?”
Boom!
Suddenly, pitch-black thunder flashed in the sky.
The charred corpse of the man in the yellow robe fell from the sky.
At the same time, his last, desperate golden long sword artefact pierced through the three green shields surrounding Situ Qingqing, the Sword Light slashing down, making Situ Qingqing’s complexion even paler, as if devoid of any blood; the Iron Leaf Boat swayed, about to fall, and ultimately crashed to the ground after Yingsong produced another Talisman to attack.
“This woman is truly troublesome… Damn it, with the youngest of the Kou Three Heroes dead here, my troubles have just become much bigger… His two brothers are not to be trifiled with.”
Yingsong descended from the dark clouds, looking at the unconscious Situ Qingqing before him, and the blood on her chest, he still dared not approach too closely.
“This woman is strange, clearly just a mid-Qi Refining level Cultivator, but so richly endowed; could she be a direct descendant of the Situ Family? No… to be able to take out a Yin Thunder Bomb, a disposable artefact that can threaten even those at the Foundation Establishment stage, could she be the direct granddaughter of the Situ Family’s patriarch?”
After analyzing the situation, Yingsong’s expression was very excited, “If I capture this woman, I’ll be credited with a great achievement in my family, haha…”
This time, the Hundred Tricks Tower formally broke with the Situ Family; in fact, he was quite confused before.
After all, how would the family’s upper echelon strategy be communicated to a low-level member?
And the fight had occurred so suddenly.
When he saw the Sky Blue Water Array activate, Qi Yingsong truly believed he was doomed.
But unexpectedly, the tables had turned, and his side had gained the upper hand, causing a major defeat for the Situ Family.
In the end, after a chaotic battle, the people of the Situ Family scattered in an attempt to break through the encirclement, and his uncle also went after an important person.
Yingsong, being more timid, only dared to follow the previous late-Qi Refining level expert, chasing after a mid-Qi Refining level female Cultivator.
The situation had seemed completely within his grasp, but he had not anticipated such a reversal.
“This woman…”
Just as Yingsong was about to step forward, suddenly, a blue jade pendant on his person abruptly emitted a booming sound.
A layer of azure-blue light instantly appeared, enveloping his whole body.
Yingsong’s expression had not yet changed when he felt a Giant Strength striking his shield, causing the jade pendant to let out a wail!
“Hmm? An artefact that protects the body on its own? The Hundred Tricks Tower really is wealthy…”
A somewhat familiar voice came through.
Yingsong looked over and saw a masked, unfamiliar Cultivation-robber slowly retracting his fist.
But that voice, somehow, seemed eerily familiar.
In an instant, the Immortal Cultivator’s eidetic memory helped him recall, “You’re that Cultivator who sold Monster Beast Meat?”
Yingsong had almost thought those two Cultivation-robbers he found earlier had vanished with the loot, running off with their ill-gotten gains!
Now it seemed, his uncle had made a huge oversight!
This Cultivator was one who emerged from a Sea of Blood on Corpse Mountain!
Fang Xi did not hold back, punch after punch he landed heavily on the shield.
“Sir… let’s talk it over!”
“The Hundred Tricks Tower’s Qi Family stands behind me!”

“I… I can compensate!”
Yingsong, his face a picture of terror, tried to explain while attempting to tear apart several Talismans.
But Fang Xi wouldn’t give him a chance; he let out a roar, as his True Strength highly condensed.
“Secret Skill: Mixed Origin Without Limit!”
Bang!
A force far more terrifying than before struck the water-blue shield.
Crackling sounds!
The blue jade pendant’s surface began to show countless cracks and instantly turned into dust.
Fang Xi’s momentum unabated, he thrust two fingers directly into Yingsong’s throat.
“Gurgle…”
Yingsong’s eyes showed horror as he slowly fell down.
His hands loosened, and a few Talismans drifted down slowly.
“This is also the advantage of a body cultivator; thought becomes action… they can act so rapidly, the enemy has no time to react.”
Fang Xi ignited a fireball, disposed of the corpse, and quickly picked up Yingsong’s Storage Bag, his mind still weighing the gains and losses of the battle, “Of course… the camouflage capabilities of the disguise clothing are also important; very few Cultivators keep their Spirit Eye active all the time. To be able to hide from the naked eye of common people greatly facilitates surprise attacks for a body cultivator…”
While the Storage Bag was good, Fang Xi had no time to deal with the Magic Power inscriptions on it.
Moreover, there were still the artefacts and Storage Bag from the previous late-Qi Refining expert – those were the real prize.
After cleaning up, Fang Xi looked in the direction where Situ Qingqing lay and suddenly spoke, “Sir, have you slept enough?”
“Indeed, nothing escapes Sir’s notice!” Situ Qingqing slowly got up, although her hair was dishevelled and blood dripped from her mouth, her demeanor remained extraordinary.
“I have no intention of being an adversary to Sir, and there’s no need to demonstrate the final contingency to me,” said Fang Xi, who was disguised and thus not afraid of being recognized by Situ Qingqing, and he laughed heartily.
“I am Situ Qingqing, and I must thank Sir for saving my life.” Situ Qingqing smiled graciously, giving a ceremonious curtsy.
She was a smart woman. Seeing Fang Xi masked, she understood his intention to hide his identity and did not probe; she simply took out a token, “This is my Situ Family’s token of trust; please keep it safe, Sir. There will be a reward in the future!”
As the token was tossed, Fang Xi did not reach to catch it, letting it fall to the ground.
The scene became somewhat awkward.
“I did not particularly intend to save you…” Fang Xi looked at the token representing a great favor from the Situ Family as it lay on the ground, as though seeing the collapse of the Situ Family’s power.
Yes… what use was the favor of a Family on the brink of annihilation?
He was more interested in cashing in!
Therefore, Fang Xi smiled and said, “No need for formalities, Fairy. If you wish to repay me, why not tell me what has happened? I am truly in the dark about the chaos at the Green Bamboo Mountain Market…”
