The twelve guards standing upright at the city gate saw Shi Wu wearing gorgeous robes coming. The leader of them stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Welcome to the Giant Turtle City!"

Shi Wu remembered that when he entered the city from the south gate, he saw a monk paying for spirit stones. He reached into the storage bag and said, "I wonder how many spirit stones you need to enter the city?"

The leading guard replied: "Young Master, our Giant Turtle City will no longer collect spirit stones from the monks entering the city since June 24th. This is the token of our Giant Turtle City. You can enter the city by injecting a wisp of spiritual power into it."

Shi Wu seemed to have taken the token without any hesitation, but in fact he was extremely careful when injecting spiritual power. While he was fully open, he injected the power of Yin Fire that had been diluted into the token.

The leading guard said after Shi Wu did as he did, "Please, please."

The Shiwu General hung the token on his waist and said, "That's fine?"

"Well, do you have a mansion in our Giant Turtle City?" asked the leading guard.

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "I came to the city to buy elixirs, and I will leave after I buy it."

The leading guard's expression changed, but he still said, "Prince, please come in."

Shi Wu found that the leading guard's expression changed after he said the four words "buy and leave", and he walked into the Giant Turtle City with doubts.

Shi Wu, who was extremely sensitive to spiritual power, found that the spiritual power in the city was much weaker than when he first came. Not only that, compared with the crowded scenes a few days ago, the main road of Dongcheng Gate can only be described as sparse figures. Before the time of Xu, all the merchants on both sides of the street were closed.

Shi Wu walked forward and searched for clues with his ears. He focused his target on the twelve guards at the East City Gate, but until he reached the end of the street, the twelve guards didn't even move. Shi Wu said to himself: "The last time I left the Giant Turtle City, I wiped out the spiritual power from those tokens, and this time I injected this token with the power of Yin Fire that I had never used before. It seems that they did not doubt it. But why did this Giant Turtle City become so lifeless? In addition to testing the spiritual power cultivation, will this token have the effect of monitoring or monitoring?"

Shi Wu was full of doubts. He saw a hurry-in-hunting monk at the intersection of the fork at the end of the street. He stepped forward and bowed, "Fellow Taoist, I wonder what happened in this Giant Turtle City? Where is the place where the elixirs are sold here?"

The monk rushed to the east gate without taking the marble path.

Shi Wu wanted to ask others again, but found that there was no one on the street. Shi Wu saw a five-story building with lights in the distance. While he walked towards the tall building, he heard someone in the closed shops around him complaining that the Giant Turtle City was hurt by Chen Lingzi's trouble so that they could not even continue their business. He also said that foreign monks could not count on it. Even local monks sold their industries and fled to Giant Turtle City. They were also worried about whether to move their business to a safe city elsewhere.

The more Shi Wu heard, the more strange it became. According to his inference, Chen Lingzi should have asked Giant Turtle City and Zhai Xiao’s twelve pearl light pavilions to join forces to acquire the Array Star Stone. So why did he make Giant Turtle City so depressed? Shi Wu felt that something must have happened in this situation that he didn’t know.

Shi Wu came to the open high-rise building in confusion. He was about to come forward to ask the hospitality servant at the door, but the servant had already sent a message to him and said, "If you want to stay in the hotel, please follow me in. If not, please leave."

Shi Wu looked at the plaque above his head, which had three big words "Ju Ling Tower". He thought he wanted to find out the news anyway, so he sent a message: "Take me in."

The servant made a gesture of inviting him, and Shi Wu followed him into the building.

Shi Wu saw that there was no guest in the hall of the Spirit Cave Tower. There were thirty-six spirit stone lamps on the surrounding walls, but only the one above the counter was lit.

A smart old man wearing a felt hat in front of the counter was looking up the jade slips and sighed from time to time. When the waiter brought Shi Wu over, he asked weakly: "What kind of guest room do you want?"

Shi Wudao: "Shopkeeper, how did this Giant Turtle City become like this? I remember when I came a hundred years ago, it was still a prosperous scene here."

The smart old man said unhappy: "Guest, our Juling Building is in the accommodation business. If you want to inquire about information, please go to Yawen Pavilion or Juxin Hall."

Shi Wu hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, don't be angry. Do you think this is OK? Please help me prepare a room suitable for the Kongming monk. I will stay for three days first."

The smart old man then calmed down and said, "A total of ninety top-grade spirit stones in three days."

Shi Wu took out the spirit stone and handed it over to the shopkeeper of the spirit building.

Maybe it's been a long time since I saw so many spirit stones being recorded, the smart old man said sadly: "In the past, when the Spirit Gathering Tower was booming, don't say that ninety top-grade spirit stones were gone, it was only nine hundred, nine thousand. Now, hey..."

The shopkeeper put the spirit stone into the storage bag, took out a jade plaque and handed it to the hospitality servant, "Take the guest up to the third floor, say what you can say, don't say a word you can't say."

"I understand, little." The hospitality servant replied.

Shi Wu was also preparing to go in with the hospitality servant to the third floor, but the servant took him up the stairs.

In order to know what happened here, Shi Wu had to patiently climb the stairs with him.

After the hospitality servant opened a room on the third floor with a jade sign, the spirit stone lamp inside lit up. The servant said, "Please, please."

Shi Wu entered first as he said, and he sat at the table and signaled to the servant, "Sit and talk."

Shi Wu also poured a cup of spiritual tea for himself and the hospitality servant.

"Thank you, the guest servant!" The hospitality servant said after taking a sip of spiritual tea, "You are really unfortunate. If you came five days earlier, this is still the Giant Turtle City you remember. But you are also lucky. If you come on June 23, you might be involved in that disaster."

"June 23rd? A disaster?" Shi Wu asked.

The hospitality servant saw Shi Wu looking completely unaware of it, and he asked in a low voice: "Customer, have you heard any wind outside?"

Shi Wu was ready to speak, "I have been in seclusion for a hundred years and have only been promoted to the late stage of Kongming. After leaving the seclusion, I thought about coming to Giant Turtle City to buy some pills that stabilize spiritual power. Unexpectedly, I have only been in the Giant Turtle City for a hundred years, and there is an extra canyon outside the East City Gate. When I resisted my curiosity and came to the gate of the East City Gate, the guards said that Giant Turtle City does not receive the city spirit stones, as long as I inject spiritual power into the token. I planned to return the same way, but his tokens were handed over. If I didn't answer, I was afraid that they would think I would not respect Giant Turtle City. I bit the bullet and injected spiritual power into the token into the city. As soon as I entered Giant Turtle City, I found that the city was gloomy. You also know that what we practitioners fear most is to encounter such strange things. So I saw that you were still lit up on the road and came over."

"So that's it." The hospitality servant continued to say, "The guest didn't know that our Giant Turtle City was still holding an auction conference lively on June 21st. But in the evening, Senior Chen Lingzi from the Holy Realm suddenly visited the Giant Turtle City and asked about his only son Chenxu. After Senior Wen Xing of Yawen Pavilion reported the information, Senior Chen Lingzi ordered Lord Tian to blockade the Giant Turtle City, and he followed the clues to investigate the past.

The Wanzhang Canyon you saw was moved by Senior Chen Lingzi. As for what happened to Young Master Chenxu, I don’t know. I only heard that Huo Ji and Guo Qing came from the Holy Realm seniors that night. After communicating with Senior Chen Lingzi and Senior Cen Yinzi, Giant Turtle City and twelve Zhuguang Pavilions under Senior Zhai Xiao issued an announcement the next day. They are willing to acquire any of the first batch of array ring star stones landed in the north at a sky-high price."

"What? The Star Stone of the Array Ring has appeared? I remember that there are still 130 years before the realm of extreme victory is opened." Shi Wu said in surprise.

The hospitality servant smiled and said, "So it's strange things every year, and there are so many this year. Originally, this matter came to an end. But guess what, on June 23, a mid-stage monk in the God Refining period came outside the south gate of Giant Turtle City. He also said that he had an array ring star stone on his body, so that City Lord Tian and Manager Liu could come out of the city to receive it. When City Lord Tian and Manager Liu heard that someone had come to exchange it so soon, they naturally left the city with joy. They hoped that the monk would take out the array ring star stone for them to inspect it. The monk said yes, but he asked City Lord Tian and Manager Liu to offer the promised good things at the same time. Although City Lord Tian and Manager Liu had some doubts, they did not believe that anyone would dare to tease them in such a thing. The man put a white stone in front of everyone and threw it at Tiancheng in front of everyone.

After the Lord and Manager Liu, Lord Tian and Manager Liu each took out a storage bag and threw it over. The monk teleported away as soon as he got the two storage bags. Lord Tian and Manager Liu opened the monk's storage bag and took out the white stone inside. The two worked together to inject the earth spirit power and water spirit power from the late stage of the God Refining. The white stone shattered into powder with a bang. Knowing that Lord Tian and Manager Liu were foolish, they were furious, and the middle-stage monk teleported away was captured by Senior Chen Lingzi. Senior Chen Lingzi was very unstable. He asked outside the South City Gate that the monk was a fellow party member of the Return to Void Body Cultivation. The monk said bluntly that he didn't know anything Return to Void Body Cultivation, and he was tortured by Senior Chen Lingzi until he died. Finally, Senior Chen Lingzi took out the magic weapon Prisoner's Soul-Prisoner Furnace to imprison the cultivator's soul."

The Tianjie Spirit Body felt numb when she heard it: "It turns out that this Chen Lingzi has been hiding in the dark!"

Shi Wu asked: "What does the relationship between the mid-stage monks in the refining stage of God-Refining bring about disasters due to their own cleverness?"

The hospitality servant heard this and said, "The Giant Turtle City has indeed encountered a disaster of Wuwang. You just heard me that Senior Chen Lingzi's emotions were very unstable. After he detained the cultivator's soul, he madly blamed the City Lord Tian and Manager Liu for their unfavorable affairs. He also wanted to kill them. Fortunately, Senior Qiu Zheng and Senior Zhai Xiao were still in the city at that time, and they helped block the attack, but the four of them were also seriously injured and retreated. The so-called fight between gods and mortals suffered, and the remaining power of Senior Chen Lingzi's attack directly destroyed the South City Gate. None of the shops within two hundred miles of the city gate and the monks and the people inside were spared."

"What!" Shi Wu said in shock. This was Shi Wu's normal reaction. He believed that Chen Lingzi was trapped by the circle of heart, and any matter that had something to do with Chen Xu might make him have paranoid thoughts and then go crazy.

The hospitality servant thought Shi Wu was afraid of being affected, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Senior Chen Lingzi is no longer in Giant Turtle City. Senior Huo Ji and Senior Guo Xi came immediately after receiving the help signals from Qiu Zheng and Zhai Xiao. They worked together to capture Senior Chen Lingzi and planted a saint-level curse seal in his body. Senior Huo Ji clearly told Senior Chen Lingzi that if he killed people from the extremely difficult place, the curse seal in his body would quickly erode his earth spirit power. Even if he was a monk from the Holy Realm, he would not escape death. Senior Chen Lingzi was furious and laughed. He threatened Qiu Zheng. Senior Zhai Xiao and the two seniors said that if they did not find any of the first batch of array ring star stones in the north within 130 years, they would either hide beside Huo Ji and Senior Guo Xi forever, or wait for death to disappear."

Shi Wu commented: "This senior Chen Lingzi is so crazy!"

The hospitality servant echoed, "Who said no? After Senior Chen Lingzi left, Qiu Zheng and Zhai Xiao also went back to their respective caves to recuperate. This disaster occurred, and everyone in the city's cultivators were in danger. No one was sure that Qiu Zheng and Zhai Xiao could find the array ring star stone for Senior Chen Lingzi within 130 years. The panic in the Giant Turtle City spread rapidly, and more than 70% of the cultivators left the city within a day alone."

Shi Wu finally understood why the guard at the door had that kind of reaction. He took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to the hospitality servant and said, "Thank you for telling me this. I wouldn't have stayed for so long if I had known it."

"You are so polite." The hospitality servant rarely met a guest who was rewarded. He said gratefully, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Senior Chen Lingzi has not even driven away the monks in the Wanzhang Canyon. There should be no more trouble in the Giant Turtle City in the past 130 years."

Shi Wu nodded and said, "Yes. By the way, I wonder where there are other places to sell elixirs besides Zhuguang Pavilion?"

The hospitality servant knew that Shi Wu was unwilling to cause trouble, so he told Shi Wu the address of a shop called Qiandan Pavilion.

After Shi Wu wrote it down, the hospitality servant left the room tactfully.

The spirit of the heavenly tribulation told Shi Wu who was meditating in the room: "The Giant Turtle City has been in chaos in just a few days. The mid-stage cultivator of the God Refining Cultivation is even more daring than you, and he dares to go and distort the real one. He also asked Tian Jun and Liu Jing to go out of the city to greet him, so he just found out that there is a defensive magic array of returning to the void level in the Giant Turtle City. But his luck is too bad, and even if he can't meet Chen Lingzi, he will be captured by Qiu Zheng and Zhai Xiao."

Shi Wu thought further than the spirit body of the heavenly tribulation. He used the introspection method of "Nine Transformation Spiritual Art": "What would we do if that god-refining cultivator did not do this?"

"Of course we met Chen Lingzi..." The heavenly tribulation spirit body was stunned when he said this.

Shi Wu continued to say, "You felt that someone was covering the traces of murder for us. Now I feel that the man is not only helping us cover the traces, but he also arranged for people to step into a big pit for us at the critical point. Even if Chen Lingzi and Qiu Zheng initially inferred that I would come back, after the trouble of the god-refining cultivator, they would not expect so anymore."

The spirit of heavenly tribulation said with a lucky mentality: "Is it a coincidence?"

Shi Wu likes to think about things the worst and furthest: "The result of this coincidence is that I don't have to face Chen Lingzi from the holy realm so quickly, nor do I have to use the Qi of Nirvana, Phoenix Flame Technique, and Sea Ape Divine Fist without any consequences in the crisis of life and death."

The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation said: "Don't that man wants you to destroy the Giant Turtle City?"

"Or that person doesn't want me to be involved in too much killing." Shi Wudao.

The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation cannot be imagined: "But it is inevitable that monks can go out and kill."

Shi Wu narrowed down and said, "Then he just doesn't want me to be contaminated with meaningless blood."

The spirit of the Heavenly Tribulation rubbed his little head and said, "Here's a headache. Then will you still kill Tian Jun and the others?"

"That person has set the conditions, so of course he will have to avenge his revenge, and he will definitely have to be killed." Shi Wu said firmly.

The spirit of heavenly tribulation thought of the tragic situation in the Giant Turtle City mentioned by the hospitality servant just now, and asked: "Would it be too cruel for us to take advantage of the situation like this?"

Shi Wu said in surprise: "Are you still the heavenly tribulation spirit I know? You are the one who is the most powerful of shouting and killing in front of you."

"I just thought that if Tian Jun died, the Giant Turtle City would be in chaos, and the people here would be even more miserable." The Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body said.

Shi Wu frowned slightly and said, "You forgot that we were secretly attacked by these people's masters, and were afraid of being caught by Chen Lingzi and others in a mess? They may be a little miserable, but their miserable should be the responsibility of their master. Every time they earn a piece of spirit stone, a part of them will be handed over to Tian Jun and others. When we were persecuted, they lived and worked here. Now I ask their master to take revenge and I can't help these people consider how to continue to make a living, right?"

The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation said helplessly: "What you said seems to be correct."

Shi Wu confirmed: "Grandpa A has taught me that I will never give sympathy to the enemy."

"I understand." The spirit of heavenly tribulation nodded.

After talking all night, Shi Wu went out at the Juling Tower at noon the next day.

At this time, the street was more popular than at night, but it was still quiet and uncomfortable.

Shi Wu found the Qiandan Pavilion according to the address given by the hospitality servant.

After Shi Wu explained his purpose, the boss of the Qiandan Pavilion immediately took out three green jade boxes and said, "Customer, these three late Kongming spiritual pills were originally going to sell 90,000 high-grade spirit stones, but now the situation is special. You only need to pay 60,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Shi Wu took out the storage bag containing the top-grade spirit stones and gave the spirit stones to the boss of the Thousand Alchemy Pavilion as much as possible.

The boss counted it carefully and said, "Customer, if you want to buy elixirs in the future, you can go to Xiangliao City, 300,000 miles west. Our shop will be moved by the end of the month. It is the territory of Senior Singer, which is much safer than here."

"Okay." After Shi Wu responded, he went straight back to the Juling Tower from Qiandan Pavilion.

The hospitality servant at the door saw Shi Wu coming back so soon, and he whispered: "Customer, have you bought the elixir?"

Shi Wu smiled and said, "Well, the boss sold me three boxes at a cheap price."

The hospitality servant said, "It's good to buy it."

Shi Wu asked in a low voice: "I wonder if your shopkeeper will return the spirit stone to me if I check out now?"

The hospitality servant glanced at the smart old man who sighed in the spirit building, and he sent a message saying, "Customer, don't think about this. Our shopkeeper wishes you stay for a few more days so that he won't return those spirit stones to you."

"Okay. I'll go to the room and sit in meditation for another two days before leaving. After all, I spent 60 top-grade spirit stones, so I can't waste it." Shi Wudao.

The hospitality servant thought deeply: "What the guest said is."
