Chapter 90 Trap (Part 1) - Chapter 92 Yi Dao Five Realms

  Down to the bottom of three hundred meters deep.

  Luo Xiaojuan looked at this secret room in surprise and exclaimed, "This, this is a high-energy gold absorbing room? How much money does it take to build such a secret room?"

  "Not much, just three hundred million only, this is what I spent several months to set up, let's go in." Yang Tong pulled his wife into the secret room and closed the door. Inside the secret room, there was actually a monitoring system that could monitor the situation inside and outside the villa.

  This special crystal, known as "absorbing gold", can absorb the outwardly radiating spiritual energy waves. This 30-square-meter secret room, with walls made of absorbing gold that are three inches thick, can completely avoid radar scans without any formation protection.

  To know that the formation is activated, there are also energy fluctuations, and there are other methods to detect it. However, in a purely physical way of hiding like this, except for digging into the ground, there is no way to discover them, and the couple hid 300 meters underground.

  But what is this place? This is the city center, the city center of Luoxing City. Even if Anhu's courage was bigger, he wouldn't dare to dig three feet here. That's Lao Shouxing hanging himself, tired of living.

  From the surveillance screen, it can be seen that the formation of the villa is already in a precarious state, and the defensive formations in each room inside the villa have also been activated. Just opening such a defensive system would cost 3,000 standard crystal stones.

  "Tong Ge, you are indeed very farsighted, but what about our son?" Luo Xiaojuan praised and then immediately became worried about Yang Tong.

  "There's no way, we can only wait for forty-eight hours now." Yang Tong also did not expect that even three hundred meters underground could not escape the range of a high-powered spirit magnetic cannon.

  "Unfortunately, the transmission array is extremely difficult to set up. We must invite a professional array master to set it up and refine the array disk. Otherwise, if we were to set up a transmission array here, we would be able to escape at any time." Yang Tong sighed discontentedly. It was impossible to ask an array master to set it up personally, let alone buy an array disk, because the transmission array's array disk is considered a strategic-level item in the eyes of many forces and has been basically monopolized by them. Yang Tong simply had no place to buy one even if he had the money."

  "Forty-eight hours? Will something happen to our son?" Luo Xiaojuan was still very worried.

  "Juan, you have to understand that our son has grown up and embarked on this path of the strong. There's no turning back now. If he can't even withstand this test, then we...". Yang Tong was also very conflicted at this moment. "Besides, there's nothing we can do right now. All we can do is ensure our own safety and not leave any psychological vulnerabilities for our son."

  The dark tiger's people quickly broke through the villa's defensive formation and rushed into the villa, starting to attack the small defensive formations in each room. These formations also couldn't last for long.

  "Boss, the villa is too big, we have no idea where they are hiding." The four men who rushed in first, including Dark Tiger leader, Old Four, Old Five and Old Twelve, wanted to search the entire villa, which would take some time.

  "Lao Liu, Lao Qi, how much spiritual power have you recovered? Lao San, come and help too." Anhu Laoda directly called out to the two idle men outside to come in and assist with the search.

  Dark Tiger's No. 6 and No. 7, after using the Spirit Magnetic Cannon, took medicine and held high-quality crystal stones to recover their spiritual power. Before long, they also recovered about 50% of their spiritual power and had no problem moving around.

  Three people rushed into the villa again and started attacking the small defensive formations in each room.

  Yang Tong waited for a while and sighed: "It seems that there are only these people." Then he pressed down the red button next to him.

  "Boom!" A violent explosion erupted, centered on the villa.

  There was no mushroom cloud, but dust and debris from the villas were still spreading in all directions with the shockwave of the explosion.

  "Not good!" The four of them, Old Eight, Old Nine, Old Ten and Old Eleven, who had been using the Little Four Square Formation to seal off the entire villa, were the first to bear the brunt.

  "Block it with all your might!" The four of them understood that if the shockwave spread, they would also be in danger.

  Lao Er was guarding the transmission array in the distance, and from afar he saw all of this and felt the intense tremors on the ground, so he knew something had gone wrong.

  "Damn it, does this villa have a self-destruct system? Old Eight, Old Nine, Old Ten, Old Eleven, let's retreat quickly!" Second Brother transmitted the order.

  "But Elder and them..."

  "We're out of time, the patrol team has been dispatched. With such a big commotion, we won't be able to escape if we don't retreat now." Lao Er activated the transmission array, "Hurry up!"

  "Despicable!" The four people who set up the formation, didn't even have time to retrieve their flags and other tools, letting the formation itself block for a moment. The four people retreated in time and left through the transmission array.

  As soon as they reached the other end of the transmission array, Lao Er destroyed the transmission array.

  Five people sat in the secret lair of the Dark Tiger organization, their faces extremely unsightly. "Damn it! We've been hunting geese all day, but we didn't expect to be pecked in the eye by a goose today." Twelve people went, only five people came back safely, and even if the boss and others survived the explosion, they would still be caught by the patrol team, leaving them with no way out.

  "Who would have thought that the Yang family was so crazy, they actually activated the self-destruction system and went down with us." The people sitting here all thought that the Yang family's people were already dead, they absolutely didn't think that Yang Tong did this on purpose to trick them.

  "What's going on? The mission failed and we lost seven brothers." Old Nine was stunned for a while, then asked with a bitter smile.

  At this moment, a virtual screen suddenly appeared in the room, and Lin Jin's figure emerged. As soon as he appeared, his face turned gloomy and asked: "How do you do things? Making such a big noise, is the task completed?"

  Lao Er replied dejectedly: "The mission failed. The target activated the self-destruct system and perished together with Lao Da and the others."

  Lin Jin was furious, almost vomiting blood. An Hu was his carefully nurtured elite team, independent of the family, not controlled by any power, and only taking orders from him. It was because of this team that he was able to break through all competitors and become the head of the Lin family, and also brought the Lin family from the third rank among the four major families to the second rank, and is now rushing towards the first rank.

  This small team, every single one of them is a genius selected from countless orphans, each with the potential to rise to Sky Level. In another hundred years or so, who knows, he might have a Sky Level Dark Tiger Squad in his hands, and at that time, the Lin family will be a hundred times stronger than it is now!

  But now this small team has lost more than half of its members, with only five out of twelve people returning, and the remaining seven are probably gone for good.

  Chapter 91: Trap (Part 2)

  "What's going on here?" Lin Jin asked in a furious tone.

  "Things are like this..." The second brother stood out and carefully explained it once again.

  "I would rather be a shattered jade than an intact tile. I didn't expect this family to be so unyielding. It seems that the boy with the surname Yang must also have such a temperament." Lin Jin's anger subsided as he thought calmly, if the boy with the surname Yang were to find out about this matter, the consequences would be unbearable, this person must be eliminated!

  "Immediately contact that Yang kid, using his parents' safety as bait, lure him to the Hundred Flowers Valley outside of Tianxiang Mountain, and thoroughly eliminate him, leaving no future troubles." Lin Jin made a decision on the spot, otherwise it would be too late. Once the news spreads, that Yang kid might hide in school and not come out. There's no need for him to take action himself, just utilize his Spiritual Tool Master skills and his astonishing cultivation speed. Once he becomes a Spiritual Tool Grandmaster, he will become a great threat to the Lin family!

  Yang Tong felt a bit depressed that night, as if something bad was going to happen. Yang Tong used the plum blossom divination method to calculate with his fingers for half a day, but didn't get any useful information.

  After Yang Tong came to this world, he gradually understood the scope of Meihua Yi Shu's function. This art is subject to the pressure of the Heavenly Way, and it is impossible to be as infallible as before.

  Now using Plum Blossom numerology can only calculate some things related to oneself, and the calculation range of this thing cannot exceed Yang Tong's cultivation range. Of course, sometimes heart blood will also have exceptions, and using Plum Blossom numerology is extremely consuming of mental energy, and cannot be used frequently.

  However, Yang Tong had a very optimistic view of this easy technique. Later, when his strength improved and even after he became an immortal, its power would be revealed. At that time, anyone who tried to plot against him would basically be detected by him first. This was also a strange art for driving away good fortune and avoiding evil.

  There are only two reasons why something can't be figured out: either there's nothing to figure out, or the situation has exceeded the scope of calculation, which means that the person being calculated is far beyond their own calculation range.

  Yang Tong helplessly put down the confusion in his heart.

  At this moment, the outside has already gone into chaos. The high-end villa district was actually attacked, and it's worth noting that this villa district belongs to the government's planning area. This behavior is clearly not giving the government face. The bigwigs of the municipal government were furious, blowing their beards and glaring with anger, issuing orders to the relevant departments to crack the case within three days and capture the murderer, no matter what! A city-wide curfew was ordered, and all city gates and transmission arrays must be carefully inspected.

  Just as the order had not been fully issued and executed, Yang Tong received a mysterious text message: "Your parents are now in our hands. If you want to save them, come alone to Baitang Valley, 100 miles outside of Tianxiang Mountain City. Remember, it's just one person, otherwise, bear the consequences." Signed "Dark Tiger"!

  Yang Tong felt a surge of intense fury, with an urge to destroy everything. However, the Jade Clear Heart Method automatically circulated and dissipated some of this energy, allowing Yang Tong to regain his composure and reveal a sinister smile: "Very well, Lin family, I've remembered this. This matter isn't over yet. If anything happens to my parents, I'll make sure your entire family can't escape or survive. You're ruthless, aren't you? Hmph, you think me weak! Not using my full power is already being merciful to you!" A dragon has reverse scales, touching them will provoke anger. For Yang Tong, his reverse scales were his parents and loved ones.

  Then, Yang Tong immediately thought of a way to contact his family, but the communication was not going through, and even the fixed communication at home was not going through.

  Right now? You son of a bitch!

  Yang Tong burst into a loud scolding, unfortunately without having refined a Soul-Capturing Banner in hand. No good, next time I'll have to refine one and keep it handy, dealing with dead enemies will make it a divine artifact! Let these bastards understand, offending me means death is just the beginning of another nightmare for them.

  Yang Tong hastily tidied up a bit. If he rescued his parents, how would he settle them? Hmm, might as well leave Luoxing City and withdraw from the Lin family's sphere of influence.

  Yang Tong thought of this, exchanged all the learning points for high-quality crystal stones, and mailed all the defensive equipment that had been refined recently to Zhao Zhengfeng. He also left a timed message and changed his appearance, wearing a large brimmed hat and leaving the dormitory in the direction of the transmission array.

  As soon as Yang Tong came out of Tianxiang Mountain City, he rode his bike towards Baifeng Valley.

  The Hundred Flowers Valley is a gourd-shaped valley with numerous flowers, so many that they are uncountable, and there are at least over a hundred varieties, hence the name Hundred Flowers Valley. However, what's most famous in the Hundred Flowers Valley isn't the flowers, but rather the poisonous snakes unique to this valley. This is Tianxiang Mountain, where the fragrance of flowers originates, and the valley is filled with countless venomous snakes. But these snakes aren't very valuable, so few people come here.

  However, at this moment, there were no less than twenty people in the Hundred Flowers Valley. Outside the valley, there were also fifty or so people lying in ambush.

  Lin Jin Kuang is going to thoroughly tear off his face, he actually gathered the Lin family's masters to ambush and wait, led by the Lin family's eldest sister, Lin Yue Yin, who has the reputation of being the first genius of the young generation of the Lin family.

  "Miss Lin, I just received news that the person we've been waiting for has arrived. You won't need to take action." A middle-aged man in armor said respectfully to Lin Yueyin.

  "I knew it, but my father insisted on me coming along." Lin Yueyin was also extremely unwilling to make this trip.

  "That's true, the master of the house has always been known for his meticulous planning, and Miss's Shén Wǎng might just come in handy at some point." The middle-aged man said with reverence.

  "That Yang kid is just an ordinary student, does he deserve such a big fuss?" Lin Yueyin asked coldly.

  "Miss doesn't know that this Yang kid is actually the armor master behind the Zhao family, and because of him, the Lin family's pillar industry has been greatly affected, so he must be eliminated."

  "Get rid of the waste and you won't be able to win this person over?" Lin Yueyin frowned and asked, as it was related to the rise and fall of the family business, she also had no way.

  "But..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

  "Is there something you need to hide from me?" Lin Yue's tone immediately became even colder, and her expression also darkened.

  "I didn't dare, yesterday night, we were ordered by the master to capture Yang Tong's parents alive, but who would have thought that there were seven brothers together with his parents who perished together. We have already formed a deep-seated vendetta with them and must eradicate them completely." It turned out that this middle-aged man was actually the second-in-command of the Dark Tiger organization, which had now officially disbanded, and its remaining members had all joined the Lin family's household guard.

  Lin Yueyun listened and then became expressionless, no longer speaking. As for what she was thinking in her heart, it was impossible to know.

  Chapter 92: The Five Realms of the Easy Way

  "Yang Tong, actually you don't need to go at all. I believe you also understand that your parents are probably already dead, and even if you go, it's just sending yourself to death." Lu Bao said persuasively.

  "It's settled, no need to say more. My mind is made up. A man has things he will and won't do. If my parents raised me and I don't go, am I still human?" Yang Tong replied, not allowing any refusal. "Even if the path ahead is a dead end, I have no regrets!"

  Lu Bao stopped talking, and Yang Tong's attitude was resolute. It was useless to persuade him, although he didn't quite understand Yang Tong's feelings.

  "Aren't you skilled in Plum Blossom divination? Try it yourself and see how your journey will be." Lu Bao said.

  "Speaking of which, I'm also very puzzled as to why there's no such divination technique in the 'Jade Pure and Supreme Scripture'?" Yang Tong changed the subject.

  "Hmm, what do you think? The Eight Trigrams and the Easy Way are profound and unmatched. As far as I know, they can be divided into five major realms: measuring direction, measuring fortune and misfortune, measuring life and death, communicating with yin and yang, and understanding the heavenly mechanism. The inheritance of the Jade Clear sect focuses on the way of refining instruments, not the Easy Way. Once one's cultivation reaches a certain height, they must walk out of their own path. Therefore, in ancient times, each saint had their own strengths. Among the immortal clans, the Taiqing saints were skilled in alchemy, the Yuqing saints were skilled in instrument refinement, the Shangqing saints were skilled in array formation, the Fuxi saints were skilled in the Easy Way, the Nüwa saints were skilled in technique, the Shakya saints were skilled in Buddhism, the Xianyao saints were skilled in swordsmanship, and the Tianming saints were skilled in the way of fate. These are the ancient saints I am familiar with, as well as some other alien saints that I am not familiar with. Each one of them has their own path and is a great existence that can establish their own sect." Lü Bao explained.

  "Are you saying that if I want to become a Saint in the future, I also need to walk out of my own way?" Yang Tong originally thought that having the Jade Clear inheritance was enough to reach the peak of the strong, but now it seems that the Jade Clear inheritance is just an inheritance, and not the foundation for achieving the Tao.

  "You may have just stepped onto a path of no return. Are you not speaking too early?" Lu Bao said disdainfully.

  Yang Tong fell silent, thinking to himself that he had never imagined that the Easy Path would have five major realms, something that was unimaginable in his past life.

  "Can you tell me about the division of the five realms of Yidao?" Yang Tong asked.

  "Divining direction, everyone's luck has a fixed number, and direction is just a directional concept. Haven't you tried it before? Divining fortune and misfortune, people have calamities and blessings, those who reach this realm can drive away good fortune and avoid evil. You are now at the beginning of this realm. Divining life and death, one can divine their own life and death, and there will be a response before the disaster strikes. The first three realms, ordinary people with extraordinary talent can penetrate them. On the other hand, even immortals cannot penetrate if they don't have the ability.

  The fourth realm, communicating yin and yang, is even more formidable. Those who are not immortal will never be able to penetrate this realm. It can communicate between the two realms of yin and yang, peek into past time and space, reverse life and death, and bring the dead back to life. Knowing the heavenly machine, that's a legendary realm, it can investigate the changes in the heavenly machine, the birth and destruction of the universe, see through the past and future, with divine powers and vast abilities, difficult to predict."

  Yang Tong was speechless, although this Yi Dao only had five major realms, but the promotion of these realms was too elusive, and he couldn't see through it, forever unable to improve. Yang Tong only then understood that he had been too arrogant before, and this Plum Blossom Yi Shu wasn't omnipotent either, without sufficient realms, even the most magical Yi Shu couldn't be used.

  Yang Tong was relatively lucky. The Yi Dao he learned in his past life allowed him to enter the second realm in this life, which is also a considerable achievement.

  Yang Tong snapped his fingers and calculated, the road ahead was a great omen of disaster, there was indeed a mortal danger. After calculating the result, he calculated the solution. The great calamity is not unsolvable, as long as it is facing life and death crisis, the hexagram will always show great calamity. Like those monks who wander in the wilderness, if they really calculate, most of them are great calamities at first glance.

  East shows auspicious signs, advantage lies in the East.

  Yang Tong had a plan in mind. In a while, he would have to run eastward. Unfortunately, his realm was not enough, otherwise Yang Tong could calculate whether his parents were still alive.

  Of course, the five major realms are a vertical division, and horizontally, it depends on individual cultivation. For example, Yang Tong has the ability to measure good or bad fortune, but when facing a strong opponent above the Sky level, he can't even measure it as a Great Earth level cultivator. Similarly, even if Yang Tong has the realm of measuring life and death, it will also be ineffective when facing an even stronger opponent. At that time, all measurements are useless, and one can only rely on oneself.

  This time Lin family's setup of the heavenly net, still has loopholes, at least it can be calculated, which means that what they are facing is not an existence beyond their own cultivation strength.

  Yang Tong's heart was greatly settled, with a sense of security and confidence naturally increased.

  Baihuagou, Yangtong came here for the first time, and it was indeed very beautiful. After taking the antidote pill, Yangtong sprinkled snake-repelling powder all over her body, so the geographical dangers of Baihuagou could be ignored.

  The valley entrance was in the northwest position. The moment Yang Tong stepped into the valley, the people waiting inside received the news. At this time, the valley entrance was sealed off by someone.

  Suddenly, a special wave of fluctuation arrived, Yang Tong did not feel the danger of this wave of fluctuation, but the Ling Xun Order on his body, including the Ling Xun Order in the storage ring, could not block the destruction of the spiritual magnetic shockwave.

  "Warning, under attack, instrument damaged, self-repair mode activated, repair time 24 hours." Yang Tong's spiritual message array was integrated into his ID card, and the paired spirit device seemed to be even more advanced, requiring only 24 hours for repairs. At the same time, the mercenary guild's auxiliary spirit tools were also unable to connect to the guild network.

  "It's an array method of shielding, but it's neither a trapping array nor a killing array, so there's no need to worry." Lu Bao said with relief.

  Yang Tong walked into the valley and at the bottom of the valley, on a huge rock, stood three figures, two middle-aged men and a young woman wearing a veil.

  Yang Tong knew this young woman, she was the eldest sister of the Lin family, Lin Yueyin, who had fought with Zhao Xuefeng from the Zhao family two years ago. Unexpectedly, the Lin family was so arrogant that they directly sent her to serve as a commander, which clearly showed that they didn't care about saving face anymore.

  "It turns out that Anhu is actually Lin's family, and Lin's family is actually Anhu." Yang Tong said with a smile.

  "You've really come, you're quite bold." An Hu Er's second-in-command gritted his teeth in praise.

  "Alright, you win. I'm willing to compromise and join the Lin family. Let my parents go." Yang Tong said directly without wasting words on these people.

  "However, it's a pity that you didn't agree earlier." The second master of the Dark Tiger Sect waved his hand, and more than twenty people surrounded Yang Tong from all sides. "Now I'll send you to meet your parents."

  Yang Tong's face sank, and his heart ached. The kind of crazy desire to perish together with the other party surged up in his mind once again. Yang Tong forcibly suppressed the raging anger in his heart, regained his composure, and asked inexplicably: "Why?"

  "Because you are weak and we are strong!" Lin Yueyin replied in a cold voice, her tone without the slightest fluctuation, even her eyes didn't flicker.
