Chapter 808: The foolish cry and the ghost laugh

The Peddler appeared suddenly, scaring Yu Zhuo until his whole body went soft, almost falling from the climbing ladder.

"Be careful, such a high climbing ladder, you must not fall!" The Peddler grabbed Yu Zhuo.

Yu Zhuo wanted to call for people, but saw the Peddler take a piece of elm wood shaving from his bosom.

Shavings are the product of carpentry, generally used for burning, and can also be used to make particle board. Elm wood shavings are rich in glue. After soaking in water, they can be used as hair gel for styling, so shavings belong to miscellaneous goods.

The Peddler used the wet shavings to help Yu Zhuo tidy up his hairstyle, and then used the edge of the shaving to cut off Yu Zhuo's head.

The guards on the climbing ladder were dumbfounded, but not a single person stepped forward to protect Yu Zhuo; an invisible force fixed them in place.

Sun Sun Tiecheng carried a cloth bag, squatted behind Yu Zhuo, and tucked his hands into his sleeves, crying very sadly: "You are really ruthless, what are you doing? You killed the person, and you're still afraid they might fall? Look at how well those brothers were living, and the boss is gone just like that! What are those two brothers supposed to do?"

The head on the left, Did Did Honglian Xiu Jie Xian, and the head on the right, He Shun, looked at the Peddler together.

A large cloud of dust fell from the air. The Peddler held the shavings and tidied up the hair of Did Did Honglian Xiu Jie Xian and He Shun: "Hurry and see where your big brother went?"

Whoosh!

The Peddler waved his hand again, and these two heads also fell off.

Sun Sun Tiecheng cried even more sadly: "You are really too ruthless, three brothers, and you don't spare a single one! What are their subordinates supposed to do?"

The subordinates were still stunned on the side.

This group of Yu Zhuo's people had always been responsible for managing the Great Totem. This matter Lu Lu Maoxian indeed did not lie about.

But also because this faction was not valued, it led to Yu Zhuo's subordinates being out of practice for a long time. Seeing Yu Zhuo's three heads all gone, they still didn't know what identity these two assassins had.

A member of the New Cabinet shouted: "Quick, protect Lord Yu!"

This sentence stunned Sun Sun Tiecheng. He was crying so sadly, and he was so annoyed by this guy that he couldn't even cry: "I said these three heads are all gone, the person is dead, and the matter is as solid as iron, what are you protecting?"

Although the words were absurd, when the surrounding guards heard the order, they didn't hesitate, rushing up one after another to protect Lord Yu.

Sun Sun Tiecheng said to the Peddler: "That person's words just now were useful!"

"Do you need to remind me? Can't I see it?" The Peddler jumped close to that New Cabinet member and cut off his three heads too.

"You are really something, why do you kill whoever you see?" Sun Sun Tiecheng cried and shouted, observing who would give the order next.

This was the tacit understanding between him and the Peddler. Since this group of people had been out of practice for a long time, they would kill their leaders first. One step slow, every step slow,

making them unable to make any response.

The next person was quite smart, ordering everyone to activate the first-class weapons and prepare for battle immediately.

The Peddler stepped forward and killed this person too. Sun Sun Tiecheng cried and shouted: "It's all over! Everyone is dead, who knows which first-class weapon to use!"

He was right. There were so many first-class weapons, which one should be activated?

Sun Sun Tiecheng cried loudly here, and he didn't know what method he used, but everyone on the top of the mountain could hear Sun Sun Tiecheng's crying.

His crying made people fearful, and even more made people conflicted. Some covered their ears, but Sun Sun Tiecheng's tear-stained face lingered in people's eyes.

The top of the mountain was in chaos, everyone was running around busy, and more than ninety percent of the people didn't know what they were busy with.

Fortunately, a few people were still calm. They knew what weapons to use to meet the enemy. The demon cultivation first-class weapons were always running; these weapons were for order, preventing wandering souls from resisting, and could be put into battle at any time.

There were several tens of thousands of wandering souls on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. For demon cultivators, these wandering souls counted as combat power. Six first-class weapons each used their means, some shaking bells, some burning incense, some burning paper, some pinching formulas, each summoning wandering souls, and began to block the Peddler and Sun Sun Tiecheng.

The Peddler didn't hide or dodge, charging directly into the wandering souls. Holding a wrench in his left hand and a short knife in his right, he used both Craft Cultivation and Martial Cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, he smashed two first-class weapons into pieces.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Sun Sun Tiecheng opened the cloth bag behind his back and released Gui Gui Jianchou from the bag.

Gui Gui Jianchou didn't rush to take action, first laughing loudly: "Bitter people, we don't suffer anymore. That first-class weapon is destroyed, we are rebelling, we are fighting them, hahahaha!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng cried: "It's precisely because you rebelled that this first-class weapon was destroyed!"

The wandering souls on the mountain were stunned for a long time.

What are these two doing?

This matter makes no sense!

If you say the first-class weapon is destroyed, the ghosts should rebel; that makes sense.

Now saying that because the ghosts rebelled, the first-class weapon was destroyed—does that make sense?

It seems it makes sense!

After rebelling, the first-class weapon was destroyed; it's reasonable!

Entering the Great Totem, one out of ten thousand survives; what's the difference between this and sending them to death?

As long as we rebel, these things will be destroyed. As long as we rebel to the end, these won't be destroyed?

Go!

The wandering souls disregarded everything, charging up to fight the first-class weapons to the death. The scene was completely out of control, and the demon cultivation weapons were destroyed one after another by the Peddler.

Sun Sun Tiecheng became more and more excited as he cried, crying heart-rendingly. The Peddler listened and felt his heart was being cut by a knife.

Gui Gui Jianchou became more and more addicted to laughing, laughing until he was bent over. The ghosts listened and fought more and more bravely.

The two ran wildly on the mountain, crying and laughing, high and low, the Foolish Cultivation technique connected with the Demon Cultivation technique, spreading across the entire mountaintop.

In the chaos, the Peddler had already arrived next to the Great Totem.

Looking at the scarred ring, the Peddler really didn't feel that this thing had been repaired by seventy percent.

But no matter what, there was only one thing to do now: destroy this thing completely.

The Peddler was about to release Ayi, when he saw a person walking over under the Great Totem.

This person's name was Han Han Shuangcheng, a Cold Cultivator. The Peddler recognized him.

Eight years ago, Han Han Shuangcheng's cultivation reached the limit of the ninth layer, and he went to the Inner Continent to promote to the tenth layer. Since then, he had returned to Puluo Continent twice, but hadn't made any waves. As far as the Peddler knew, this person hadn't even become a local god in the new land, and could be said to have no future in the Shang Kingdom.

And now coming to the Great Totem, he didn't know whether it was to gamble on a future or to become a sacrifice for the Great Totem.

The Peddler looked at Han Han Shuangcheng and smiled: "What are you doing here? Buying miscellaneous goods? I didn't bring my cart today."

Han Han Shuangcheng was a bit scared, but after hesitating for a moment, he still charged toward the Peddler.

Having been unknown in the Shang Kingdom for so many years, he wanted a chance to perform meritorious service too much.

The Peddler stood in place without moving. At this time, he couldn't move easily; there was a layer of completely transparent ice on the ground, and moving a step could lead to slipping.

When fighting a Cold Cultivator, one must avoid panic, but a character like Han Han Shuangcheng gave the Peddler no reason to panic. The Peddler took out a rattle-drum and shook it twice. The ice layer on the ground shattered instantly, and the ice armor on Han Han Shuangcheng's body also cracked open.

The Peddler only needed to shake the rattle-drum a third time, and Han Han Shuangcheng's body might explode. But what the Peddler didn't expect was that the broken ice on the ground seemed to have consciousness, rushing toward the Peddler.

Han Han Shuangcheng's cultivation had improved quite a bit. Having survived passing through the Great Totem this time, he obviously benefited a lot.

The Peddler patted the rattle-drum, and the drum surface grew from the size of a palm to more than three feet wide.

He waved the rattle-drum left and right, thinking he could hit all the flying broken ice back, but he didn't expect these cold ice pieces to be both tough and sharp, piercing through one layer of the drum surface and remaining in the drum cavity.

The Peddler used the 'Carefree and Content' technique to dodge the broken ice, taking time to look at the scars on the drum surface.

What kind of ice was this? How could it be so sharp?

The Peddler grabbed a piece of broken ice and looked at it. Between thin and thick, the changes were obvious; this was an edge ground on the ice.

Blade Cultivation technique, 'Hand-Raised Opening Edge.'

The essence of the technique lies in being able to turn objects around you that don't look like weapons into weapons. When eating with a Blade Cultivator,

one must be extra careful with their tableware; the opponent might use 'Hand-Raised Opening Edge' at any time to turn chopsticks into awls and plates into knives.

Although this technique is easy to use, it consumes a lot of cultivation. Even if a Blade Cultivator unleashes a pile of sharp blades at once, these blades are mostly rough and inferior; either not sharp enough or not tough enough, and true top-quality blades are few and far between.

Land-level cultivators, even if they reach the ninth layer, can only make one or two top-quality blades in a short time.

After reaching above the clouds, the number of top-quality blades will increase, but it is still very limited.

Being able to pierce through one layer of drum skin, it must be a top-quality blade. That so many broken ice pieces could pierce through the drum skin proved that Han Han Shuangcheng had made many top-quality blades.

Han Han Shuangcheng and a Blade Cultivation expert were kneaded together by the Great Totem. From the effect, this kneading was very successful.

But why would Blade Cultivation and Cold Cultivation mutually promote each other? Was there any connection between the two?

The Peddler was still thinking about this question when Han Han Shuangcheng held two ice slivers in both hands and stabbed toward the Peddler's chest.

Lu Lu Qianjiao had a pair of Emei piercers, which were good weapons forged by Bai Bai Lan Qiao Niang. A few times when Lu Lu Qianjiao went crazy, she stabbed the Peddler a few times. The Peddler felt that the taste was similar to these two ice slivers.

First, this ice was chosen well; hard enough, but not brittle.

This tip was also repaired well; sharp enough.

The key was that the Cold Cultivation technique and the Blade Cultivation technique combined to produce such a good effect, which exceeded the Peddler's expectations.

Han Han Shuangcheng used all his strength, but even after breaking the ice slivers, he couldn't pierce the Peddler's skin.

The Peddler took the ice slivers, first melted them into water, then froze them into ice in his palm, and after a little carving with his fingers, turned them into an ice awl.

Han Han Shuangcheng was stunned. He didn't expect the Peddler's Cold Cultivation means to be even more skillful than his.

The Peddler tested the tip of the ice awl and said with a smile: "You have to say, Cold Cultivation and Blade Cultivation are a perfect match. How did I not think of that."

Pfft!

The Peddler stabbed the awl into Han Han Shuangcheng's brow. The wound didn't bleed much, and Han Han Shuangcheng almost didn't feel any pain. He wanted to struggle, but his whole brain was rapidly freezing.

Sun Sun Tiecheng cried: "Look at how ruthless your heart is, you killed another one."

Gui Gui Jianchou felt Han Han Shuangcheng was quite special and originally wanted to take him as a ghost servant, but after trying for a long time, Gui Gui Jianchou couldn't perceive Han Han Shuangcheng's soul.

He looked at Sun Sun Tiecheng: "Stop crying first, this person isn't dead yet!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng said with tears: "You cry, if you cry, won't he be dead!"

The two cried together for a while, and Han Han Shuangcheng wouldn't move.

The Peddler threw his corpse aside and shouted: "Release her."

Sun Sun Tiecheng opened the bag and released Ayi.

Ayi was very unhappy: "What kind of business are you doing? I spent half a day of effort to bring you here, and as a result, you used a bag to trap me!"

The Peddler went to the Shang Kingdom first to scout the path and found the location of Yin Capital. Ayi was responsible for bringing people and used the Gourd Village to bring Sun Sun Tiecheng and Gui Gui Jianchou over.

Because he didn't know the reality of Yin Capital, the Peddler didn't let Ayi take action first. He went up himself, and then let the mentally stable Sun Sun Tiecheng and Gui Gui Jianchou follow.

Now it seems, the Peddler overestimated this group of people in Yin Capital. They relied on the Great Totem's location being hidden, and Yin Capital was very difficult to find, so their defense was very lax. If he had known it was this quality, he might as well have let Ayi blow up the Great Totem directly from the beginning.

Sun Sun Tiecheng said: "It's not too late to let you go now. Do your work more neatly."

Ayi approached the Great Totem with explosives. The Peddler knew this thing would explode in the blink of an eye, so after Ayi put down the explosives, the Peddler took Ayi and ran.

Boom!

After a loud noise, the huge ring collapsed completely.

In the center of the ring, there was still a piece of deep darkness.

The Peddler took out a cold cream bottle, dug out the cold cream, and smeared it on the dark place. The cold cream spread rapidly, turning into a thin film, wrapping the whole mass of darkness.

Bang!

The Peddler patted the cold cream bottle, and the cold cream seemed to sense the summons, wrapping a mass of darkness and drilling into the bottle all at once.

Tightening the bottle cap, the Peddler put the cold cream bottle into his pocket and turned back to Ayi: "Retreat!"

Ayi was lowering her head and picking up stones. She picked up a whole bag of stones shattered from the Great Totem.

"Hurry and go!" The Peddler was worried that there were other mechanisms in Yin Capital, and kept urging Ayi.

But Ayi was greedy; one bag wasn't enough, so she packed two more bags.

As expected, a large number of first-class weapons suddenly appeared on the hillside. Yin Capital was lax in defense, but that didn't mean it was unprepared.

This place hid the Great Totem and was once the capital of the Shang Kingdom; how could its family foundation not be thick?

The Peddler pulled Ayi and ran back directly. Sun Sun Tiecheng grabbed A-Gui and also retreated.

A-Gui shook his bell while burning incense, collecting I don't know how many wandering souls along the way.

After returning to the entrance of Gourd Village, Sun Sun Tiecheng cursed: "You bastard, you made a fortune!"

Gui Gui Jianchou laughed loudly: "In a few days, I'll find Song Song Qianhun to show off and see whose ghost servants are more!"

He really made a fortune. Sun Sun Tiecheng helped him count roughly; he collected at least ten thousand.

Ayi closed the exit of Gourd Village and moved the village rapidly. She didn't earn less either; she picked back three whole sacks of Great Totem stones.

After getting rid of the Great Totem, the Peddler was happy: "Ayi, call Li Qi over, let's have a few drinks together."

Ayi was busy studying the Great Totem's broken stones and perfunctorily replied to the Peddler: "Li Qi is not that easy to find. His cultivation is high now, so it's not very easy to see him."

The Peddler frowned: "You can't find him, can't your mother find him?"

"You girl, I asked you to find someone, so hurry up and find him, don't spoil the fun." Sun Sun Tiecheng glared at Ayi, and Ayi stuck out her tongue, hurriedly going to the clouds to find A-Yu.

A-Yu heard the news, took off the golden hairpin on her head, and touched it gently.

"It's okay, he's not in the small train, otherwise I might not be able to find him."

After waiting for a while, Ayi contacted Li Qi, and Li Qi used the 'Connected Broad Bridal Chamber' to come to Gourd Village.

Learning that the Peddler was safe and sound, Li Li Banfeng was extremely happy. Ayi set up wine, and everyone drank to their heart's content. With Li Li Banfeng's permission,

A-Yu also came down from the house on the clouds.

Being able to invite the Peddler to dinner, Qiu Qiu Luoye's eyes stared straight.

Ayi laughed: "Follow me, eat fragrant, drink spicy, and have face. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Bai Xinsheng looked at his master Bai Bai Wusong: "Why don't we leave? I think being a wife in Gourd Village is quite good!"

Bai Bai Wusong glared at Bai Xinsheng: "Don't talk nonsense. You are a disciple of the Bai He Sect; you can't lose the face of the sect."

Bai Xinsheng shook his head: "Master, you worry too much. Both the inner and outer sect leaders of the Bai He Sect have become wives for others; our sect has long lost its face."

Qiu Qiu Luoye and Bai Bai Wusong each kicked Bai Xinsheng. Everyone laughed and joked, when suddenly they heard A-Yu sigh: "I didn't expect the matter of the Great Totem to be handled so easily."

Sun Sun Tiecheng looked at A-Yu: "It's a good thing it's handled, why are you still unhappy?"

The Peddler also felt the same as A-Yu: "Back then, when I broke the Great Totem, I risked more than half my life. I didn't expect to succeed so easily this time. The person in charge of the Great Totem was actually so incompetent."

Li Li Banfeng also wanted to say this.

Regardless of the Great Totem itself, or the Shang Kingdom's attitude toward the Great Totem, it all seemed a bit childish.

Sun Sun Tiecheng felt this matter was very normal: "If that Great Totem were still good, it wouldn't be so easy for us to take it down.

But this thing is broken. You guard a broken thing that is useless for so many years; you definitely can't be as attentive as before."

A-Yu hummed: "What do you mean useless? With the Great Totem, the Local God Seal can have a response. Now that the Great Totem is destroyed, the Local God Seal cannot collect human energy. What will the local gods use to promote? The Inner Continent lost a lot this time!"

Sun Sun Tiecheng laughed: "It's good that they lost. As long as we don't lose, the Foolish City has plenty of ways to collect human energy."

A-Yu looked at Sun Sun Tiecheng with disdain: "You guard an old land, how many people's energy can you collect?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng waved his hand: "The Foolish City is different now. It won't be an old land soon. Old Seven, didn't I ask you to go back and take a look last time? When are you going back?"

"I'll go back in a few days," Li Li Banfeng looked at the Peddler, "The matter of the Great Totem is finished, and I should also live a few days of leisure."

The Peddler shook his head: "You can't be leisure. I have urgent business to do, and you still have to keep an eye on Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "What other urgent business is there?"

The Peddler said seriously: "I'm going to see my sweetheart!"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Does this count as urgent business?"

The Peddler was unhappy: "You hug your wife and have fun every day, how would you know the bitterness here!"

A-Yu was also unhappy. She looked at the Peddler and asked: "There is also a sweetheart in Gourd Village, don't you want to go and see?"

The dining table went quiet. The sweetheart A-Yu referred to was the Heavenly Woman.

The Peddler drank wine with his head lowered. Sun Sun Tiecheng looked at his wife: "Why mention this? Didn't we just talk about the Foolish City? I'll take you back to see it too. People in the city have flesh and blood now, no need to deceive them anymore. They all know they are alive!

The only troublesome thing is that they can eat too much. Eating before was just to leave a thought, now it's really to fill their stomachs. I've been buying grain everywhere during this time, but buying alone isn't enough. I have to let them farm. There is plenty of land outside the Foolish City!"

Ayi said happily: "Brother, I'll go back and see too! I heard the Profound Life Did Honglian is in your hands, I seem to want to borrow it."

"Who is your brother?" Sun Sun Tiecheng glared at Ayi, "The Did Honglian is gone!"

Everyone was surprised. Ayi asked: "Did you lose it?"

"Didn't lose it!" Sun Sun Tiecheng drank a cup of wine, "Old Train changed the Did Honglian, changed it into a Small Melting Pot!"

A-Yu was furious: "Why did you change it? The Did Honglian was made by the Heavenly Woman and the Peddler together!"

The significance of the Did Honglian to the Peddler and the Heavenly Woman was indeed unusual; it witnessed the affection between the two.

The Peddler put down the wine cup: "I asked Old Train to change it."

A-Yu kept a straight face and didn't speak.

Sun Sun Tiecheng said: "If the Did Honglian hadn't been changed, where would the Foolish City get flesh and blood? I'll remember this favor, the past matters are over."

A-Yu looked at Sun Sun Tiecheng, and her anger flared up: "Your heart is really big. You say it's over, so it's over? The lives of a whole city just passed like that?"

Sun Sun Tiecheng held the wine cup: "The lives have been found back, if it's not over, what else can we do? Don't we have to continue living? But speaking of which, the revenge that should be avenged, I haven't forgotten."

The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit oppressive. Li Li Banfeng asked Ayi: "What do you want the Did Honglian for?"

Ayi only cared about eating and drinking, not caring about the atmosphere: "The Great Totem is broken, I picked up some stones, I want to use the Did Honglian to refine and try."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Is the Great Totem made of stones?"

Ayi thought for a while: "I don't know what material it is yet, it looks quite like stones. I'll study it for two days, and then go to the Foolish City after I'm ready."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I also have to prepare."

After eating and drinking, the Peddler and Li Li Banfeng talked alone. He first asked about the recent situation in Puluo Continent.

Hearing about the matters of Bei Bei Xianzhong, Lu Lu Xiaolan, and Hao Hao Lianwu, the Peddler also felt it was abnormal.

"Yu Zhuo is not a smart person to begin with, it's not surprising that he did these messy things, but Lan Qiao Yi shouldn't have ignored the Great Totem. I always feel he still has a backup plan."

Li Li Banfeng thought about Lu Lu Maoxian's description of the Shang Kingdom's political situation: "Lan Qiao Yi is losing power in the Shang Kingdom, perhaps he wants to use your hand to get rid of Yu Zhuo."

The Peddler nodded: "It makes sense for him to do this, but the cost is a bit high. Without the Great Totem, the Shang Kingdom's control over the territory is not as good as before. Do you think Lan Qiao Yi would suffer this loss?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I'll go to Chaoge to find out the news."

The Peddler said: "It's best to find a way to bring Cui Ti back."

Li Li Banfeng was in a difficult position: "I went, but he didn't want to come back."

The Peddler sighed: "We are all decent people. If he doesn't want to come back, we shouldn't force him. Ayi made a rope for me two days ago, it's quite useful. You take the rope and tie Cui Ti back."

After leaving Gourd Village, Li Li Banfeng contacted Ba Ba Suan and Boluo. They had been scouting for news near Chaoge during this time.

The plague in the city was contained. Those who could survive survived, and the royal family members who fled outside the city were returning one after another.

The Great Totem was destroyed, which was an opportunity for Lan Qiao Yi. It was estimated that he would be busy for a while. Li Li Banfeng asked Boluo and Ba Ba Suan to pay close attention to Chaoge's actions in the next few days.

With matters arranged, Li Li Banfeng decided to go to the Foolish City, but he didn't want to go back empty-handed. To turn old land into proper land, not only did it need human energy, but it also needed to make life have a future.

He contacted Xiao Yeci and asked her to prepare goods. He went to Ye Ye Songqiao and bought all the furniture in the shop, filling almost thirty-three carriages.

Not only did he need to buy furniture, there were many things missing in the Foolish City. Sun Sun Tiecheng also said that the Foolish City lacked grain. Li Li Banfeng went to the Orange Garden and bought a lot of good seeds from the old man.

Having food wasn't enough; he also needed clothes.

Li Li Banfeng went to the Yu Family Cloth Shop.

It was late at night, the shop assistants were all resting, and Yu Nan was alone at the counter, balancing the accounts.

There was a problem with an account entry. Yu Nan calculated it several times. Hearing footsteps entering the door, she didn't raise her head, only asking: "What do you want to buy?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Buy clothes."

"What kind of clothes?"

"Ready-made clothes, I want all the ready-made clothes."

Yu Nan was stunned for a moment, but still didn't raise her head: "Only buy ready-made clothes?"

"I also want the fabric. Tomb-style satin, warehouse satin, Ning silk, flower thread spring, flower gauze, Hangzhou gauze, Hangzhou spinning, lake silk—I want them all."

Yu Nan raised her head and smiled. She didn't expect Li Qi to remember so many.

She asked Li Qi: "Do you buy cigarettes?"

"Buy," Li Li Banfeng sat in front of the counter, "Give me two packs of Great Fairy."

PS: When they first met, Li Li Banfeng bought cigarettes at the cloth shop, and Yu Nan gave him two packs.

Thanks to Alliance Leader Xin Wuguang, thanks to the strong support of Ren Wuguang and Gui Wuguang. ### CHAPTER 809
