Chapter 155 Xin Ruyin, if you don’t accept my toast, you’ll have to drink a forfeit!

"Ruyin lives in seclusion here. Except for a few people, she has no contact with the outside world. I wonder how Senior Sun knew about this? Ruyin and Senior Sun are strangers. Please go back, Senior Sun!"

"It doesn't matter how I found out. What matters is that you can help me and I can help you. It's just a deal."

"Senior Sun, please go back!"

"I have no ill will towards you..."

"Ruyin and Senior are strangers. Senior Sun, please go back!"

"You are worried that I will harm you if you open the formation, right?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I have all the spiritual stones I want and all the beauties I want, and I really don't want anything from you!"

"Look, these are one hundred mid-level spirit stones." Sun Zecheng said as he placed the one hundred mid-level spirit stones in his hand.

"Yingying, come here!" Sun Zecheng turned around and called Nie Ying down.

Nie Ying responded and flew to Sun Zecheng.

"Look, Miss Xin. This is Mr. Sun's wife. Isn't she beautiful? I have such a beautiful wife. You don't have to worry about how I treat you."

"Ruyin and Senior are strangers. Senior Sun, please go back!"

"Why are you so stupid?"

No matter how Sun Zecheng tried to persuade her, Xin Ruyin just hid in the formation where she thought she was safe and didn't dare to meet him, which made Sun Zecheng a little annoyed.

"You think your formation is very safe, and you hide in the formation shell like a turtle. Don't you think about how Qi Yunxiao died if your formation is really invincible!"

This Xin Ruyin is just like Han Li, both of them look smart but are actually stupid!
"How do you know how Qi Yunxiao died?!"

It would have been fine if Qi Yunxiao wasn't mentioned. As soon as Qi Yunxiao was mentioned, Xin Ruyin's voice instantly became extremely cold! She became even more suspicious and distrustful of Sun Zecheng.

"I just came from his residence and saw the great formation destroyed and the house collapsed. How could I not know?"

"How do you know the relationship between Qi Yunxiao and me?!" Xin Ruyin became more and more suspicious.

This is hard to explain. You can’t say that you are a time traveler, so you understand, right?

It was a failure that Sun Zecheng brought up Qi Yunxiao in a hurry.

"How do you know? It's not important. In fact, it's not difficult for me to break your formation!" Sun Zecheng was too lazy to explain.

"It doesn't matter! Once the formation is broken, Xin Ruyin will die." Xin Ruyin replied coldly and calmly.

Shit! With Xin Ruyin's current physical condition and mentality, there was a high possibility that she would seek death after the formation was broken.

Sun Zecheng still needs to borrow her attainments in formation, so he really can't let her die!

Soft arguments won't work, and if you use force she will die!

Sun Zecheng was suddenly at a loss.

"idiot!"

God originally gave these two a good hand. One had a talent for refining weapons, and the other had a talent for array formations. Both were extremely heaven-defying talents. But the end result was simply "stupid".

Or is it the kind of stupidity that looks smart!
If I had traveled through time and space and had the talent for refining talismans and formations, I would have killed people all over the street long ago. How could I be killed like this by a tiny Fu family!
Sun Zecheng cursed in his heart, but he could do nothing but take Nie Ying back to the Baiyun car in disappointment.

"Husband, calm down. Don't get sick from anger." After returning to the Baiyun car, Nie Ying saw Sun Zecheng looking angry and said.

Chen Qiaoqian and Dong Xuaner also looked at him with concern when they heard this.

"Don't worry, I won't get angry that easily!"

"What's going on?" Nie Ying asked with concern.

This is also what Chen Qiaoqian and Dong Xuaner wanted to ask. The three women looked at Sun Zecheng with concern.

"Anyway, I'll take you there sooner or later, so I'll just tell you in advance!"

"To put it simply, I found an ancient teleportation array, but it was broken, so I wanted to find this woman to help repair it."

"Ancient teleportation array?!"

“Where does it lead to?”

"where is it?"

"Are we going to teleport via this teleportation array?"

The three women asked questions at once.

"Is the ancient teleportation array so complicated? How does my husband know that Miss Xin can repair it?" Nie Ying asked puzzled.

"Don't ask! Just know the general idea. Your husband is a robber, so he must have the information of robbers!"

Sun Zecheng stopped the barrage of questions.

Xin Ruyin was unable to negotiate the deal and could only use the dumbest method and wait for Han Li to arrive.

"My husband discovered this when he was on duty at a spirit stone mine. I think it's not just me who discovered it. Let's go a little further away and wait for others to arrive."

Sun Zecheng ordered Dong Xuaner to fly the Baiyun magic weapon farther away and have it stay high in the sky to monitor the nameless hill where Xin Ruyin was.

There is no choice but to wait here.
Fortunately, the Baiyun Flying Car consumes very little when it is parked and only uses defense but not flying. The defense consumes a lot only when it is attacked. The standby consumption is extremely small, similar to a protective formation.

"But since I'm in Yuanwu Country, I can buy some things to help you build a magic weapon."

These words immediately drew cheers from the women.

"Qiaoqiao, go to the Stardust Pavilion in the Tianxing Sect's market nearby. Buy some of the cheapest equipment for the Mysterious Formation and clear out its stock! Also, buy ten sets of the Yellow Sand Illusion Formation controlled by the formation disk!"

“Purchase in the name of your Chen family. If anyone asks, just say that it’s because the disciples need to rearrange their caves after the relocation of Huangfeng Valley.” The Chen family has always had business dealings with Xingchen Pavilion. As they are a traveling merchant family, it is normal for them to import any goods.

"Take these ten thousand lower-level spirit stones first." Spend the lower-level spirit stones first, and leave the middle-level spirit stones as the source of power for the magic weapon.

Chen Qiaoqian happily took the storage bag containing spirit stones and prepared to set off.

"Wait." Sun Zecheng and Nie Ying stopped Chen Qiaoqian together.

"It's not safe for Qiaoqiao to carry so many spiritual stones to purchase by herself. Let your wife go with her!"

"That's exactly what I meant. Wait a moment." Sun Zecheng said as he began to take things out of the storage bag.

"Yingying, take this 48-wheel heavy shield and 30-wheel bronze spear."

"Also, here are two pairs of flying cloud boots that can be used for flying and teleporting. Put them on."

"Two pieces of gauze, plus ten evasion talismans. Use them after you finish shopping and leave the market, so that no one can follow you."

Sun Zecheng explained everything clearly before letting the two go to purchase. He and Xuan'er stayed behind to monitor Xin Ruyin's residence, waiting for Han Li to come to her.

……

Surveillance and waiting are very boring things, but fortunately, Sun Zecheng is not alone.

"Xuan'er, come here, let's practice together."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er cheered and threw herself into Sun Zecheng's arms.

Sun Zecheng released his spiritual sense to monitor the surroundings while practicing dual cultivation with Dong Xuaner.

……

"Husband, we are back!"

Chen Qiaoqian was extremely excited about the large-scale purchasing.

"Three hundred sets of the Mysterious Formation Flags. Using the Chen family's name, it's 6600 yuan per set, a total of yuan."

"Ten sets of Yellow Sand Illusion Formation, using the Chen family's name, are 1800 yuan per set, a total of yuan for the lower level."

"There are still 1600 left for the next level."

Three hundred sets of the maze formation have fifteen hundred formation flags, plus the fifty sets that Chen Qiaoqian's fat uncle bought for her at Jinguyuan, there are forty sets left, which means two hundred formation flags, a total of 1700 formation flags, which is more than enough!

In that case, let’s get to work!
Since Jindan needs to refine magic weapons by itself, everyone has a top-level Jindan.
He selected three top-grade alchemy furnaces from the captured items and gave them to Nie Ying, Dong Xuan'er, and Chen Qiaoqian.
The three women took turns releasing their spiritual sense to monitor the surroundings.

The remaining two assisted Sun Zecheng.

Cut the material first! Cut out the drive components first.

It was also different from the last time when I worked very hard at Jinguyuan. I also left three days every day for enough time for dual cultivation. I just worked slowly while waiting. …

Twenty days later, Chen Qiaoqian was in charge of surveillance when suddenly, a familiar person came from a distance.

"Husband, your junior brother Han Li is coming."

"I'm waiting for him!" Sun Zecheng immediately dropped the three battle flags he was working on.
"The protective formation of this guy's cave was designed by Xin Ruyin. They know him."

"Yingying, come with me and hide and wait. Once Xin Ruyin opens the formation, we will follow Han Li in."

"When I take action against Han Li, you will immediately control Xin Ruyin. Just control her, don't hurt her."

"Isn't Han Li your junior brother? Why do you want to deal with him?" Nie Ying asked puzzledly.

"I'll tell you later, let's go!"

……

Han Li had just arrived at the nameless hill and had not yet entered the sound transmission talisman when the white mist covering the formation opened up a passage.

Han Li walked into the bamboo house, went to the opposite side of Xin Ruyin, found a bamboo chair and sat down. He was unaware that Sun Zecheng and Nie Ying had followed him into the formation, and he was even less aware that Sun Zecheng was standing behind him.

Xin Ruyin closed the formation and said, "Senior Han, you came at the right time. I just repaired the ancient teleportation formation yesterday. Senior, just follow the blueprint..."

Xin Ruyin was halfway through her words when she suddenly found a bronze bell wrapped in brocade cloth falling down, and Han Li was trapped inside the bell along with the chair.

"Who!" Xin Ruyin jumped up in fright, but the next moment, she was completely unable to move.

Her maid Xiaomei heard the noise and came over, but she only had time to call out "Miss!" before she was also unable to move.

Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei were only in the Qi Refining stage, and Nie Ying could render them unable to move with just a single spell.

"Xin Ruyin, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

Sun Zecheng, after removing his invisibility, revealed his true figure, pulled over a chair and sat down, with a mocking expression on his face, he slowly spoke to Xin Ruyin.

"It's you!" Xin Ruyin was shocked and angry.

"It's you!" Han Li exclaimed in the Zhatian Bell when he heard Sun Zecheng's voice.

"Yes, it's me, Sun Zecheng."

Han Li didn't even have a protective shield on him, and Sun Zecheng originally planned to kill him with a blast of Qing Yuan Sword.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came to mind, a panel popped up automatically.

Tip to Sun Zecheng: According to the anti-brushing mechanism, it has not been two years since the last time Han Li was killed!
If you kill Han Li now, you will get nothing, and the anti-brushing time will be refreshed!
Since we can't kill him, let's trap him with the Zhatian Bell first!
"Surprising or not? Unexpected or not?" Sun Zecheng said sarcastically.

"Han Li, do you know what I did wrong to offend Eighth Senior Brother? Please tell me clearly, Eighth Senior Brother."

Sun Zecheng was too lazy to answer Han Li.
But at this time Nie Ying also showed up, and looked over when she heard Han Li's question, as if asking why Sun Zecheng wanted to detain his fellow junior brother.

Oh, okay, in order to let my beloved Nie Ying see Han Li clearly what kind of person he is, I will say a few more words!
"Han Li, let me ask you, are you planning to leave the Yellow Maple Valley?"

Han Li was shocked. How come Sun Zecheng seemed to know everything? But Han Li would not admit it.

"That's not true." Han Li denied it.

"No?"

"Then explain to me, why did you not go to the scheduled gathering point to regroup after escaping the pursuit of the demons, but stayed in Yuanwu Country alone for more than a month?"

"Explain to me why you sneaked here alone to find Xin Ruyin to repair the ancient teleportation array?"

Han Li remained silent, but was in his heart wondering why Sun Zecheng knew everything.

"You are a traitor who left the Yellow Maple Valley. What friendship can we have?"

Hearing this, Nie Ying looked at the Zhatian Bell that was holding Han Li with a look of contempt.

That’s enough, Nie Ying just needs to recognize that he is not her junior fellow apprentice.

Sun Zecheng was about to turn to the real culprit Xin Ruyin,
Han Li made a series of self-defenses:

"I just want to find a place to practice in peace and quiet. What's wrong with that? I don't owe anything to the Yellow Maple Valley!"

"Ancestor Linghu wanted to let the core disciples escape, so he let me be the abandoned pawn to attract the enemy!"

"If you were abandoned like an abandoned pawn, you wouldn't want to return to Yellow Maple Valley either!"

Han Li's words seemed to make sense to Nie Ying.

"Ha, you still have a convincing argument." Sun Zeben originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but he really couldn't stand his convincing arguments to fool kind-hearted people like Nie Ying.

"Tell me how you don't owe Huangfeng Valley anything, and how you can abandon a child. If your explanation makes sense, I'll let you go!"

Han Li then told the story of how he was chosen by Elder Linghu, how he was ordered to cover the retreat, how he was ambushed by the demonic cultivators, and how he narrowly escaped from the battle between Uncle Huang and the Red-Pink Skeleton. He felt that he had suffered a great injustice.

"Is it such a huge injustice that I arranged for you to follow Master Huang to cover the retreat and attract the enemy a little bit?"

"According to what you said, Uncle Huang shouldn't have cared about you running away at the last moment! A Jindan elder had to take on two magic Jindans and let you foundation-building disciples run away first! How much grievance did he feel?"

"Since ancient times, whenever there is a war, there are vanguards and rearguards, there are decoys, ambushes and snipers, and there are all kinds of divisions of labor. Master Jindan can provide cover, so why can't you provide cover?"

"If covering the retreat is dangerous, then is it not dangerous to fight head-on? According to you, all the troops fighting on the front line of Jinguyuan are abandoned, and they didn't treat you, Han Li, specially!"

"Just follow Master Huang and run. If anything happens, you should retreat first and Master Huang will cover you. How come I can't see how dangerous it is?"

"What's wrong with me just wanting to find a place to practice in peace and quiet? I don't owe Huangfeng Valley anything!" Han Li emphasized again.

"Don't you owe Yellow Maple Valley?"

"If nothing else, the Yellow Maple Valley provides you with a safe environment for cultivation! The Yellow Maple Valley has protected you from the time you entered at the age of eighteen until now!"

"You were in the Yellow Maple Valley, and the Qianzhu Sect attacked your cave. Elder Lei in the valley took action and wiped out all the people from the Qianzhu Sect!"

"Look at Qi Yunxiao, he has no sect, and the weapon-refining genius Qi Yunxiao's protective formation was broken, but no one helped or cared! A few Qi Refining Stages were able to hunt him down, and in the end, even though he escaped here, he couldn't escape death!"

"Look at Xin Ruyin, she has no sect, and the formation genius Xin Ruyin doesn't even dare to go out! Even so, she is still restrained now. Her life and death all depend on my thoughts."

"Without a sect, how could a scumbag like you with four spiritual roots have achieved what you have today?"

"You thought you were being cautious and careful, and you thought you could protect yourself. But what about now? Aren't you captured without any chance of fighting back?"

"The Yellow Maple Valley gave you safety and protection from the age of eighteen to now, you have established your foundation, occupied a spiritual land for free, and obtained three mid-level spiritual stones for free, plus one mid-level spiritual stone every year. When you were in danger, the elders of the valley came to your rescue. Why do you feel that you don't owe the Yellow Maple Valley anything?"

"Why do you think that you are only enjoying quiet cultivation, and that you would be wronged if you work hard for the sect?"

Han Erlangzi was speechless.

Sun Zecheng became more and more angry as he spoke.

"He kept calling me Eighth Senior Brother. He sounded very affectionate."

"You have four spiritual roots to build your foundation, so I guess you relied on pills to build it up, right?"

"Although I don't know the specific method, I believe you must be extraordinary in the way of spiritual plants, right?"

"You must have taken a lot of the spiritual herbs grown in the medicine garden, right? I've never seen you share even a single elixir or spiritual herb with anyone!"

"On the way, you saw Brother Lin from the same sect being besieged. I won't say anything to you because you didn't dare to help because there were so many people from the Qianzhu Sect, but you ran back to the Yellow Maple Valley without telling anyone!"

"When you saw your fellow disciple being beaten up on the road, you ran back to set up the formation, closed the door and pretended nothing happened, allowing your fellow disciple to be beaten to death?"

"You're afraid you can't win alone. When you return to the valley, there are elders and so many brothers and sisters. Can't you just say a word?"

"Tell me, how much loss will it cause you to call the police?"

Nie Ying instantly recalled the scene when Senior Brother Lu and Brother Murong competed, Senior Brother Lu chased Brother Murong and beat him, and Han Li was clearly able to block Senior Brother Lu's wind blade but dodged it.
After so many years, Han Li's selfishness has not changed at all.

Nie Ying felt great disgust and contempt for Han Li.

"What's the point of being a fellow disciple?"

"You bastard, you don't have any fellowship at all!"

"In my opinion, Elder Lei shouldn't have saved you and let you be beaten to death by the Qianzhu Sect's people!"

"You didn't treat me as your senior brother, and I didn't treat you as my junior brother."

"A selfish and heartless person like you is not worthy of being my friend, Sun Zecheng!"
