Chapter 99: The Most Powerful Weapon of the Chamber of Commerce

Fang Qingyun yawned out of sheer boredom. There was less than half an hour left until the grand activities of the Spring Festival. Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance, and various emergency plans were properly arranged. No accidents had occurred since the Spring Festival began.

During the day, Fang Qingyun heard that an elephant had fallen into the water and then flew out of the water. He sent people to give a warning: flying was not allowed in the county without permission, as it was too dangerous. In addition, there was no record of the demonic beast entering the city, so the elephant owner obediently led the elephant to register.

Fang Qingyun dealt with such trivial matters all day long.

"I hope nothing happens tonight. I hope no one lights a bonfire that leads to a forest fire, no stampede occurs due to watching a play, no one fights in the street out of jealousy..."

Fang Qingyun rambled on, talking about accidents that had occurred in previous years.

"Qingyun, I'm leaving first." Before leaving, County Magistrate Li greeted Fang Qingyun.

"Go slowly." Fang Qingyun was more respectful to County Magistrate Li than ever before. He heard that there was no air-dropped leader this time, and he could take over County Magistrate Li's position, thanks to County Magistrate Li's kind words.

This kindness could not be forgotten.

It stood to reason that County Magistrate Li did not need to come during the Spring Festival, but this could reflect his hard work, and it sounded good when spread out.

County Magistrate Li had always cherished his reputation. He found that compared to doing things, it was easier to get promoted by saying nice things.

Promotion also had requirements for the realm; this was an unspoken rule in officialdom.

"Soon, when I am promoted to the Nascent Soul stage today, whether it is the status of County Magistrate or the status of Branch Master, everything will change." Thinking of this, County Magistrate Li's footsteps became a bit lighter.

He walked into a small alley, first changed his face, and then put on a mask. This way, even if someone took off the mask, they would think it was his true face and would not suspect the identity of County Magistrate Li.

Walking on both the righteous and demonic paths, caution was necessary.

With his talent, he originally could not have cultivated to the late Jin Dan stage. It was thanks to his mixing in both the righteous and demonic paths that he could use resources far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, which achieved the current him. In the last ten years, he found that he had reached a bottleneck stage. With normal methods, he could not reach the Nascent Soul stage. In order to advance his status and realm, he thought of the Anti-Longevity Formation.

"Strange, the Inspection Envoy should have arrived in Yanjiang County before noon today. Why hasn't he come yet?"

County Magistrate Li—no, after putting on the mask, he was Branch Master Chu. Branch Master Chu was somewhat dissatisfied with the Inspection Envoy's lack of punctuality. He specifically told the Inspection Envoy to come before noon today, as there was a surprise to show him.

The so-called surprise was to activate the Anti-Longevity Formation together with the Inspection Envoy and simultaneously improve both their realms.

"Could it be that an accident happened? It was in vain that I specifically waited until the time when there were the most people to activate the grand formation. Never mind, since he isn't coming, I will improve my realm alone."

Songshan was remote, with trees growing horizontally, and the mountain roads were all stepped out by travelers. People who came to play during the Spring Festival would not come to a place like Songshan to ask for trouble.

Branch Master Chu hid his aura and walked towards Songshan. The further he walked, the fewer tourists there were. By the time he reached the foot of Songshan, there was no one left.

Finally, he stopped at a flat area. On the surrounding branches hung talismans slightly different from ordinary Anti-Longevity Talismans, used as the eyes of the formation.

He sat cross-legged, adjusted his state, and waited quietly for the moment the grand formation was activated. He had already let six deacons go to perform the task of sacrificing essence blood. Calculating the time, it was exactly this moment!

"Anti-Longevity Formation, rise!" Branch Master Chu held the sky with both hands and activated the formation.

With him as the center, the silent power of the formation spread outward, and when it reached a certain place, it stopped abruptly.

"Someone pulled out the flag!" Branch Master Chu was dazed for a moment, but quickly reacted to what had happened.

This was not accidentally pulling out one or two flags. The other party definitely had some understanding of the Anti-Longevity Formation, otherwise, they wouldn't have pulled them out so accurately!

"Who is it! Government people? No, government matters couldn't be hidden from my eyes."

"Is it a tourist I don't know? Or... is it Lu Yang who has seen the Anti-Longevity Formation!"

Lu Yang's behavior was different from ordinary people, and it was possible for him to do such a thing!

Branch Master Chu's eyes turned cold. This was equivalent to cutting off his own path forward, which was more uncomfortable than killing him!

"Eh, am I such a person in your mind, Branch Master Chu?" Lu Yang's lazy voice sounded nearby.

"Lu Yang!" Seeing Lu Yang, Branch Master Chu's anger flared up. "Don't think that just because the Sect Master thinks highly of you, I can't kill you. It's too common for demonic cultivators to die by accident. Give me a reason for you to do this!"

Lu Yang thought for a while and said seriously: "Didn't you say that? Let me cause trouble during the Spring Festival. I thought the biggest trouble would be to take down the County Magistrate. Look, isn't it a coincidence? We have been following the County Magistrate for several days, and it turns out you are the County Magistrate."

"I thought that doing things should have a beginning and an end, so I might as well take you down. Isn't this the tradition of our demonic sect to offend superiors?" Lu Yang said with a smile.

"You are looking for death!" Branch Master Chu was furious.

"How could that be? I still want to live forever."

"A mere Foundation Establishment stage dares to speak wildly here. Die!" Branch Master Chu hit with a palm in anger. The palm wind was terrifying and destructive. The trees it touched were all beaten into powder!

Lu Yang shrank and fled, dodging the palm. Branch Master Chu stepped hard on the ground with his right foot, as if a ground dragon was turning over. The entire earth was overturned, and Lu Yang was also kicked out.

Lu Yang was shocked. This was a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator. He kicked himself out with one foot.

"Tsk, really hard to deal with."

Branch Master Chu's body was like a thunderbolt, approaching Lu Yang rapidly. His hands pinched a fist seal, and his fist momentum was like the wind, determined to hammer Lu Yang to death.

The Qingfeng Sword lay horizontally in front of Lu Yang, the blade upright. As long as Branch Master Chu dared to smash down, the Qingfeng Sword could shave off his fist bones!

Branch Master Chu immediately withdrew his fist and kicked out. Lu Yang had long expected this and also kicked out. The two feet collided, and Lu Yang took advantage of the momentum to fly out!

Branch Master Chu attacked again, but found that his spiritual power seemed to be imprisoned, and he couldn't lift even a bit of it.

"A Spirit-Prohibiting Formation with the same function as the prison! You really understand formations!" Branch Master Chu stared fixedly at Lu Yang. Although he couldn't use spiritual power, with his physical defense, it was difficult for Lu Yang to hurt him at all!

The Spirit-Prohibiting Formation was temporarily set up by Lan Ting. Lu Yang's purpose was to lure Branch Master Chu here.

Lu Yang smiled and waved goodbye to Branch Master Chu.

Branch Master Chu looked around and found nothing unusual. He suddenly raised his head and saw a flying boat floating above his head.

The flying boat Meng Jingzhou had just bought from the Chamber of Commerce.

It was already night, and Songshan was so dark that even human shadows were hard to see. Otherwise, Branch Master Chu would have noticed that he was in the shadows.

Spiritual power could not be used above the Spirit-Prohibiting Formation either. The flying boat lost power and fell rapidly. Meng Jingzhou jumped down with a parachute on his back.

The flying boat was too large, and Branch Master Chu could not use spiritual power, so his speed was limited and he could not avoid it. Lu Yang calculated the distance and hid far away.

The flying boat was like a meteorite, falling from a low altitude, smashing towards Branch Master Chu!

The flying boat fell, raising endless dust and sand, making a booming sound. The entire Songshan had a tremor.

The flying boat seemed to be loaded with explosives. At the moment of falling, the explosives were detonated, fire soared into the sky, and it was deafening!

Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou a thumbs up: "It's good to have money. You can buy a flying boat if you want!"

Meng Jingzhou also gave a thumbs up: "If it weren't for the fact that the merchant only had one flying boat, I would have had to buy a few more!"

The power of any magic treasure in the Chamber of Commerce could not compare to a flying boat that smashed down directly.

Fang Qingyun, who was sighing about the quiet years, saw a flying boat land and was so scared he almost had a myocardial infarction.
