Chapter 675 - 285: The Southern Barbarians Invade, A Gift Delivered to Our Door
[1: The final highlight treasure, the Dragon Transformation Fruit, can awaken your Cyan Python’s Flood Dragon Bloodline with a certain probability and help it break through to Tier Three. The Dragon Transformation Fruit was ultimately bid and won by Clan Leader Tian]
[2: A Purple Mansion Elder from the Yinan Tribe has already taken control of the Grand Array at Wanning Marketplace. Qiu Kui has led four Purple Mansion cultivators to the main hall of the World Suppression Bureau, intending to control the marketplace’s defensive array and destroy the Teleportation Array at all costs. Outside the marketplace, the Great Elder of the Yinan Tribe remains to oversee the battle]
When Fu Changsheng saw the first intelligence report, he was still lamenting that the Blood Convergence Flower had not fallen into his hands. But as his gaze fell upon the second report,
his pupils contracted.
The Yinan Tribe had actually dispatched six Purple Mansion cultivators to seize Wanning Marketplace!
Before this,
the World Suppression Bureau didn’t receive a single piece of information?
The intelligence system also had no alerts:
"This is bad!"
Fu Changsheng’s mind raced.
Right now, the Great Elder of the Yinan Tribe was guarding outside the marketplace. Going out meant certain death, but staying in the marketplace was also fraught with danger. However, at least he could rely on his own shop’s array to hold out for a while.
The only hope now was for the World Suppression Bureau to hold the Teleportation Array.
Waiting for other high-tier combat powers to teleport in for support.
The Transmission Hall must not be breached!
Fu Changsheng almost immediately sent a message to Master Xu:
"Master Xu, the Purple Mansion cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe have infiltrated the marketplace. They are headed for the World Suppression Bureau, and their target is to destroy the Teleportation Array."
While sending the message,
he didn’t linger for a moment and flew rapidly towards his shop, glancing from afar and finding both the side and main gates of the marketplace were already closed.
If his guess was correct,
the people from the Yinan Tribe had already taken over the two exits:
"It seems that the Yinan Tribe has been planning this for a long time!"
With a few flashes,
Fu Changsheng reached the front of his shop.
At this time, the shop was empty, as everyone had gone to the Wanning Commerce Association to join in on the excitement. Even if they couldn’t get in, they listened to the messages coming from inside, so there wasn’t a single customer in the shop.
Fu Yongshang was inside with the shopkeeper, looking over the account book. Upon seeing Fu Changsheng return, he immediately put the account book aside and greeted him with curiosity:
"Patriarch, has the auction ended? What highlight treasures did we manage to bid on?!"
However.
Before he finished speaking,
the entire marketplace sounded with three long and two short bell tolls:
"Is this..... the war drum sound?!"
Since its creation,
this was the first time the drums had been sounded in Wanning Marketplace.
Fu Yongshang’s heart trembled:
"Patriarch, what.... what on earth is happening?"
However.
Fu Changsheng had no time to explain. The moment he entered the shop, he rushed into the backyard and cast a technique at the array node connected to the entire marketplace.
If the people of the Yinan Tribe had control over the marketplace’s defense array,
then the protective shield of his own shop, connected to it, was a ticking time bomb that could be detonated by the enemy at any time. So upon entering his shop, the first thing he did was to disconnect it.
Buzz!
After disengaging the node,
he quickly took out his token, casting technique after technique into it. Instantly, the protective array added later by the shop buzzed to life.
A hazy white light appeared,
enveloping the entire shop.
After completing all this,
he immediately sent a message to the array controllers at the territories of Yunshan County and Pingshan County, directing them to fully activate their defensive arrays instantly, ensuring no one could enter or exit the grand array from this moment onward.
"Patriarch, has another Beast Tide occurred?"
Fu Yongshang came from the front hall with large and small bundles, having immediately packed the items from the shelves into storage bags, and instructed the shopkeeper to handle the warehouse.
Having experienced a previous Beast Tide attacking the city,
although he was somewhat unsettled, Fu Yongshang wasn’t overly panicked.
Fu Changsheng shook his head and said:
"The Southern Barbarians have invaded. Yongshang, quickly, take the clansmen and hide in the underground chamber, now!"
The shop’s array needed someone to remain above to keep it running.
Moved by Fu Changsheng’s words, yet with a firm refusal he said:
"Patriarch, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You bear the glory of our entire Fu Family. I can manage the array; Patriarch, you should enter the underground chamber."
Although Fu Yongshang had also reached Foundation Establishment, his cultivation wasn’t high, and he lacked experience in combat, making it hard to shoulder such a large responsibility.
He and Autumn Cicada combined could utilize the array in such a way that even a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion couldn’t break it quickly.
Time was of the essence.
Fu Changsheng didn’t have time to explain everything and, with a stern expression, said:
"This is the Patriarch’s order. Quit talking nonsense and quickly go hide."
"Patriarch!"
Fu Yongshang wanted to stay, but under Fu Changsheng’s intimidating gaze, he quickly backed down, swiftly leading the clansmen into the underground chamber the family had long prepared.
Rumble!
At this time,
fierce fighting could be heard from the direction of the World Suppression Bureau.
The cultivators gathered at the entrance of the Wanning Commerce Association dispersed in panic, some taking the opportunity to loot stores, and many trying to flee.
However, at the exits of the marketplace,
they found the gates closed.
They simply couldn’t get out.
All of a sudden,
the entire marketplace was thrown into utter chaos.
The cultivators from the auction venue also swarmed out, and after realizing they couldn’t leave, they each started crowding into stores, seeking a place for refuge.
Among them,
in the bustling crowd,
Gongsun Run quickly glanced towards the direction of the Fu Family’s shop.
With a wave,
he immediately led his followers rushing towards the Fu Family’s shop.
This was an excellent opportunity to kill Fu Changsheng. Coincidentally, he had just recently broken through to half-step Purple Mansion, perfect for using that beast as practice.
