Chapter Thirty-One: A Private Fight in the Marketplace

  Tongtian Lao Dao saw Lin Tianyang's suddenly enlightened look and smiled: "Heh heh, looks like you've figured it out!"

  Lin Tianyang saw the smile of Tongtian Old Dao and looked down on him in his heart. He said irritably, "Tongtian Daozhang, you should have reminded me earlier that every layer of the Tongtian Tower has a weakness for demons that exceed their level!"

  Tongtian Lao Dao started putting his fingers into his nostrils again, making a disgusting gesture while lazily saying: "I didn't say it explicitly, but I did hint at you! It's just that you didn't pay attention to my words!"

  "You've hinted at me? How was I supposed to know?" Lin Tianyang asked with a shrug of his hands, somewhat disbelieving.

  Tian Lao Dao sighed and said, "I'm not telling you again, the true meaning of Tongtian Tower is to let those who enter it undergo training. Think about it, people who enter inside can only use magic tools and treasures for attacks. If they still don't have weaknesses, what else can they do besides escaping? This goes against the original intention of Tongtian Tower."

  "This is also a hint!" Lin Tianyang felt somewhat helpless after hearing it.

  Lin Tianyang felt that he shouldn't be entangled with this old slippery head on this issue, and continued to point at the substitute doll and ask: "What's the use of this thing?"

  Tongtian Lao Dao looked at the substitute doll and said, "If you want me to appraise the treasure for you and teach you how to use it, I'll have to charge you spirit stones. However, this is your first time, so I'll be generous and give it to you for free!"

  As soon as he heard that this guy was going to collect spirit stones, Lin Tianyang really wished he could use spirit stones to smash him to death, if not for the fact that this old Taoist's cultivation was unknown to what extent.

  Although Lin Tianyang hated him, after his explanation, Lin Tianyang's heart was still filled with surprise and delight. It turned out that this substitute puppet was actually a treasure that could be activated to transfer the opponent's attack power, although it would be rendered useless after the transfer. However, at certain times, it could absolutely save someone's life. Thinking of this, Lin Tianyang finally felt that Tongtian Lao Dao had said something reliable. Defeating a demon beast one level higher than him indeed brought unexpected gains.

  After leaving Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang slightly tidied up what he had gained, kept some things he needed to use, and then found some medicinal pellets that would be useful for Yi Xiuya, put them in a spare storage bag, and went out.

  Arriving at Yixiuya's hut, Lin Tianyang found that she was not there, so he decided to go to the market first and sold the items in his hand to several shops in batches.

  Lin Tianyang arrived at the town of Fangshi, and when he passed by the store where Yi Xiuya bought the Lingyuan Pill, he unexpectedly found that Yi Xiuya was actually in the store. However, she seemed to be arguing with another cultivator at this time.

  Lin Tianyang immediately walked over, and Yi Xiuya exclaimed in surprise as soon as she saw Lin Tianyang: "Brother Lin, how did you come?"

  Lin Tianyang smiled slightly and said, "I came to sell some unused items. Yishi sister, what's going on here?" Lin Tianyang asked a sentence, then looked at the person who was arguing with Yi Xiuya.

  He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his cultivation had already reached the twelfth layer of Qi Refining. He looked rather ordinary, but his expression was extremely arrogant.

  "Lin Shixiong, I came to this store to pick up the Spirit Pill for Xiao Cai, but who would have thought that this person saw it and actually wanted to rob me of it!" Yi Xiuya said with some indignation.

  "Oh?" Lin Tianyang and Yi Xiuya had been in contact for so long, knowing that she was not a person who would speak randomly. Since she said so, it seemed that this young man was indeed not right. He sank his face and asked the young man, "Is that so?"

  That young man saw Lin Tianyang was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining and somewhat disdainfully said: "What's the big deal?"

  "Now leave, and it's as if nothing ever happened!" Lin Tianyang said coldly.

  "Haha……" The young man heard Lin Tianyang's words and burst out laughing as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. After his laughter subsided, his face suddenly turned cold and he said, "You have a big mouth, but you're just two inner sect disciples. Do you know who I am?"

  "I don't care who you are! Even if you're a core disciple, it's all the same!" Having already offended Yun Haitian, a Golden Dan period cultivator, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of just one Qi Refining period disciple.

  That young man was indeed the core disciple of Lei Yan Zong, and as a core disciple, he had always been flattered. At this moment, seeing Lin Tianyang not putting himself in his eyes, he was furious, suddenly patted the spiritual beast bag, and a green python directly pounced on Lin Tianyang.

  Lin Tianyang was also extremely shocked and angry, this sect's market was not a place where one could engage in combat, yet this young man dared to take action, it was truly unknown whether he was fearless or just hot-headed.

  But since he made a move, Lin Tianyang naturally couldn't just passively take the beating. The shop was too small and it would be easy to get entangled by the green python, so he immediately flashed out of the door.

  That young man saw Lin Tianyang leave the store and immediately chased after him, also taking out a piece of emerald green brocade. The brocade was blown up by the wind, quickly growing to several meters in size, and flew directly over Lin Tianyang and Yi Xiuya's heads.

  Lin Tianyang didn't know what the brocade cloth was for, but he knew he absolutely couldn't be covered by it. He immediately drew out his Huo Lin sword and ignited a fierce flame that slashed upwards towards the brocade cloth above.

  Yi Xiuya didn't idle around either. With a pat of her spiritual beast pouch, the small five-colored snake Xiao Cai also appeared before everyone's eyes.

  Xiao Cai, despite being much smaller than the giant python, not only showed no fear but was extremely excited and shot towards the python.

  After seeing the emerald green python, it seemed to be somewhat intimidated, and immediately sprayed a mouthful of emerald green poisonous fog towards Xiao Cai. However, Xiao Cai was not affected at all, not only did she directly pass through the poisonous fog, but also crawled into the python's open mouth.

  "Huh?" Seeing this scene, Lin Tianyang and the young man were extremely surprised. However, in just a few breaths, the emerald green snake suddenly convulsed violently, twisting its body in agony, flailing its tail as if struggling weakly. The young man immediately exclaimed: "What's going on!"

  The young man immediately cast two spells at the emerald green serpent, but it seemed to have lost control and completely ignored his manipulation, only constantly convulsing. After a moment, a small hole suddenly opened in the chest and abdomen of the serpent, and the little demon that had drilled into its mouth earlier actually crawled out from its abdomen. And after it broke out, the emerald green serpent died instantly.

  Upon seeing the emerald green serpent die like that, the youth furiously shouted: "You dare to kill my spirit beast, all of you will die!"

  The young man shouted a spell at the silk handkerchief entwined with Huo Lin Sword in mid-air, and the handkerchief suddenly flashed with spiritual light. Following that, the handkerchief directly cast down a light screen. Under the light screen, Lin Tian Yang and Yi Xiu Ya immediately felt a surge of overwhelming pressure coming over them.

  At the same time, the young man patted his storage bag again, and a talisman with a long spear appeared in his hand.

  Lin Tianyang was shocked at heart and immediately took out the bronze gong mirror. The golden light brick treasure also appeared in his hand.

  Just as both sides were about to engage in a fierce battle, a sudden flash of light fell from the sky, and a bald-headed man directly blocked the middle of both parties.

  The big Han glanced around and shouted in a stern voice: "You actually dared to have a private fight at the Sect's market, you have quite a lot of guts!"
