Chapter 1967: Relax Your Muscles
"Hahaha, the time has finally come! Fellow Daoist Xu, go and call our Xuanqi Master!"
After confirming from Xu Yinghu that Zhu Yan had already followed the caravan to Xuancheng, Sun Tu laughed three times and wanted to push forward the plan he had prepared long ago.
"Yes! But, do you want my brothers to get involved in this matter?"
Xu Yinghu had seen Luo Hong's method of dealing with the Scaled Earth Dragon in the past, and knew that the other party was not an ordinary Taiyi Xuan cultivator, so he couldn't help but propose at this moment.
"Hmph! They have been too close to that Luo in recent years. I don't trust them. This matter will be done by you and me, plus Fang Chan!"
If it was before, Sun Tu wanted to deal with Luo Hong simply for profit.
But now, with Luo Hong's growing reputation in Baiyan City, Sun Tu already feels that his position has been threatened to a certain extent.
This undoubtedly gives him another reason to take action!
"What? Do you think that Luo Hong can make any waves in my hands?"
Seeing that Xu Yinghu was slow to respond, Sun Tu said in a cold voice.
"I dare not. I will call him here right now."
Sensing the breath of Sun Tu, Xu Yinghu immediately took two steps back and bowed his hands to accept the order.
Not long after, Xu Yinghu arrived at the door of Luo Hong's residence and conveyed Sun Tu's order.
"Lord Sun wants to see Luo? What's the matter?"
Luo Hong did not rush to show up after hearing this, but slowly finished his work before asking in a deep voice.
Seeing Luo Hong's condescending look, Xu Yinghu immediately snorted in his heart, thinking that after taking down Luo Hong, he would definitely snatch Zi Ling in front of him!
However, on the surface, he naturally looked respectful and said with a smile:
"I don't know the specific situation, but it seems to be about the earth-level Xuanqi. Master Luo should ask the city lord in person?"
"Oh? City Lord Sun finally has the courage to let me study the refining of earth-level Xuanqi? That's great. Please wait for me, Brother Xu. I will go with you to meet City Lord Sun!"
Luo Hong's words revealed a sense of excitement, and he immediately agreed to go to meet Sun Tu.
He just stood up and pushed the door open, and saw Zi Ling coming over.
"Brother Luo, Brother Zhu has been away for only a few days, and Sun Tu called you over. I'm afraid there is a conspiracy."
Zi Ling didn't know what Luo Hong and Zhu Yan were planning, but she felt something was wrong at the moment.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, everything is within my calculations.
You should stay in seclusion for a while, and when I come back, you will understand everything.
If someone breaks into this place by force, you should immediately activate the silver talisman that I gave you!"
Luo Hong's face was full of confidence, and she immediately told Zi Ling.
"I understand, and I will definitely not hold Brother Luo back."
Zi Ling was relieved when she saw this, and then nodded to keep Luo Hong's instructions in mind.
Zi Ling was smart and alert, and Luo Hong was still very confident in her, so she just nodded slightly and walked out of the residence.
As soon as she came out, before she had time to say a few words to Xu Yinghu, several Golden Immortal Xuanshi passing by greeted Luo Hong enthusiastically.
"Be proud as you want, soon everything you have will belong to the Lord of the City!"
Xu Yinghu looked quite dissatisfied, and couldn't help but think maliciously.
Without delaying for too long on the road, Luo Hong soon followed Xu Yinghu to the meeting hall and met Sun Tu himself.
"Lord Sun, I heard that you intend to let Luo start the research of earth-level mysterious weapons. I wonder how many earth-level beast cores you have collected?"
Luo Hong seemed to be unaware of it and asked about the most concerned thing when they met.
"Haha, don't worry, fellow Daoist Luo, I called you here today for the beast core matter."
Sun Tu enthusiastically asked Luo Hong to sit down first, and then continued:
"Fellow Daoist Luo has been in my Baiyan City for some years. I believe he has heard about the situation of Crazy Dragon Ridge?"
"Crazy Dragon Ridge is the nearest forbidden area to my Baiyan City. There are not only a large number of dragon-shaped scaled beasts, but also a Daluo Beast King.
Lord Sun mentioned this place at this time. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of it?"
Luo Hong was surprised when he heard this. After all, in many previous beast tides, the scaled beasts of Crazy Dragon Ridge were the main force.
In other words, in the confrontation between Baiyan City and Kuanglong Ridge, the former has always been in a passive defensive state.
"Yes, but Fellow Daoist Luo, don't worry. I have no intention of confronting the Daluo Beast King head-on.
But in order to gather the earth-level beast cores that Fellow Daoist Luo needs, a batch of Taiyi scale beasts in the ridge must be hunted, so I came up with such a plan."
After nodding his head in agreement, Sun Tu told Luo Hong about his plan.
It turned out that he wanted to use the mysterious weapon refined by Luo Hong to create a real illusion, lead the Daluo Beast King away, and then lead people to attack Kuanglong Ridge from the side close to Puppet City.
After hunting enough earth-level scale beasts, they immediately left some broken puppets and evacuated.
This sounds very reasonable. Not only can a large number of earth-level beast cores be harvested, but the disaster can also be directed to Puppet City, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Luo Hong knew very well that this plan was a lie. Sun Tu's purpose was just to trick him out of the city.
After all, with Luo Hong's current reputation, it would be inconvenient for him to act directly in Baiyan City.
"Well, although this plan is quite risky, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. Luo wants to think about it carefully."
Although Sun Tu's plan was exactly what Luo Hong wanted, he didn't rush into it, but hesitated.
"I am very clear about Fellow Daoist Luo's concerns, so I don't want to solve it overnight. Instead, I want to take you and Fellow Daoist Xu to explore around Kuanglong Ridge first."
Sun Tu said immediately.
"City Lord Sun, you can be so careful. Luo Mou is relieved. I wonder when we will set off? How many people will accompany us?"
Luo Hong nodded slowly when he heard this, and asked with a suddenly relaxed expression.
"Of course, the faster the better, but the number of people doesn't need to be large. I can just add Daoyou Xu and Fang Chan.
The four of us should go back quickly and strive to make a complete decision on this matter within two months, so that Fellow Daoist Luo can start research as soon as possible! "
Sun Tu had been misled by Luo Hong's performance in seclusion and refining all these years. He thought that Luo Hong was a weirdo who was obsessed with refining weapons, so he immediately seduced him on this point.
"That's great. Luo doesn't need to prepare anything, he can set off now!"
Luo Hong pretended to be fooled and replied with bright eyes.
"Okay, once I give instructions to the others, we will be on our way immediately!"
Although Sun Tu would not tell Xu Yinglong and others who were staying in the city the truth, he still wanted to inform them so that Baiyan City would not be in chaos because of his departure.
After burning a stick of incense, Sun Tu wrote three bone letters and sent them to the residence of Xu Yinglong and the others.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Tu took Luo Hong, Xu Yinghu, and the pig-headed Fang Chan out of the city.
Since the four of them are Taiyi Xuanxiu and have extremely strong legs, after just a moment, the two mountains on both sides of Baiyan City became only a tiny bit bigger behind them.
Running all the way, Luo Hong gradually fell into the siege of Sun Tu and the others. In front of him was Sun Tu who was opening the way, and on both sides were Xu Yinghu and Fang Chan.
However, Luo Hong did not panic at all, and even expected Sun Tu and the others to take action quickly so as to save some time.
After all, he had already sensed the aura of the silver talisman he handed to Zhu Yan.
Although Luo Hong now has the confidence to deal with Sun Tu and the others on his own, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so it is best to be able to crush them.
More than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Sun Tu still had no intention of taking action, and they were now less than 100,000 miles away from Kuanglong Ridge.
Fortunately, when night fell again, Sun Tu finally lost his patience and stopped on a barren mountain on the pretext of camping for rest.
"Thank you for your hard work, three fellow Taoists. Come, drink some blood wine to relieve your fatigue!"
As soon as he stopped, Sun Tu took out an animal skin bag from behind and handed it to Xu Yinghu who was standing aside.
Xu Yinghu didn't hesitate. He raised the animal skin bag and pumped it hard. After putting it down, he immediately showed a happy expression.
"Good wine! This is what you brought back from Xuancheng, city lord, right? The last time Xu drank it was during the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition a thousand years ago!"
While talking, Xu Yinghu handed the animal skin bag to Luo Hong.
"Speaking of the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition, it shouldn't be long before the next one, right?"
Luo Hong took the animal skin bag but did not drink it, but asked Sun Tu.
“It’s not that long, maybe ten or twenty years.
If Fellow Daoist Luo wants to see Xuancheng, I can bring you with me then. "
Sun Tu replied seemingly casually, but his eyes glanced at the animal skin bag from time to time.
"City Master Sun is really trusting to let Luo go to Xuancheng? Aren't you afraid that Luo will never come back and Baiyan City will return to its former state?"
By this time, Luo Hong no longer planned to pretend, and said with a half-smile.
"What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Luo? Xuancheng is the main city. It is natural for Fellow Daoist to want to go to higher education. I will never stop you in the slightest.
However, this blood wine cannot be opened for too long, otherwise the smell of alcohol will dissipate and it will not be beautiful. "
Sun Tu persuaded the wine with a smile.
"This Xuancheng's blood wine does have a unique flavor just by smelling it, but it's a pity that there is dragon tooth sand in it, and Luo doesn't dare to drink it near Kuanglong Ridge."
After saying that, Luo Hong threw the animal skin bag aside, causing the light red wine inside to gush out.
I saw that the wine was normal at first, but after being in contact with the air for a long time, it gradually turned black and gave off a foul smell.
It turns out that the dragon tooth sand itself is not toxic, but as long as it meets the dragon's energy, it will turn into a strange poison called "black dragon sand".
Although Luo Hong does not practice poison, he has read the classics that Azi collected from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and he still knows a lot about poison.
"You can actually find it! Could it be that Xu showed some tricks?"
Xu Yinghu stopped pretending when he saw this, took out an antidote pill from his arms and drank it.
In order to make Luo Hong drink the poisonous wine with confidence, he did not hesitate to drink it himself. He just secretly slowed down his breathing so that the poison would spread more slowly. Unexpectedly, he did not deceive Luo Hong!
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I really underestimate you.
But this poisonous wine is just the icing on the cake. After all, I don’t want to hurt you too much. "
Sun Tu also put down his mask at this time, with a sinister smile on his face.
"City Master Sun doesn't have to say such nonsense. It's impossible to capture Luo without any help. Just do it!"
Luo Hong turned his fist, and a majestic fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.
Although his physical cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, he has never fought against anyone, and he has long been itchy.
"You two go try his quality first!"
Although Sun Tu was confident that he could suppress Luo Hong due to the huge gap in his cultivation, his tendency to hide behind the scenes made him decide to let Xu Yinghu and the others test Luo Hong first.
Xu Yinghu was still a little hesitant when he heard this, but Fang Chan on the side pounced directly.
This man usually stays with Sun Tu, and is his confidant among his confidants, but he always looks stupid.
But when he started fighting, his eyes immediately shone brightly, as if he had completely awakened!
Instantly approaching, Fang Chan's right arm moved, and suddenly became blurred, and then a black fist blasted out like lightning, hitting Luo Hong's face.
This attack was simple and unpretentious, and it was obvious that Fang Chan wanted to test Luo Hong's physical strength.
And Luo Hong's response was also extremely simple, his right fist hit out like an afterimage, and collided with Fang Chan's fist!
With a bang, a powerful impact force broke out between the two.
Fang Chan couldn't bear the huge force immediately, and retreated three steps in a row, "dengdengdeng", and each step left a deep footprint on the ground, causing the surrounding ground to crack!
After standing firm, Fang Chan looked at his right arm in disbelief, only to see it tremble slightly, and the black animal skin originally tied on it had already broken without a trace.
Xu Yinghu's face changed when he saw this. Fang Chan was the second best player in Baiyan City. His strength had reached the middle stage of Taiyi, and he had opened up a full 215 Xuanqiao.
But now it seems that his physical strength is not as good as Luo Hong, who is only in the early stage of Taiyi.
It is obvious that Luo Hong had hidden his Xuandao cultivation before!
Although Sun Tu was still able to keep steady at this moment, he also frowned slightly. He did not like this kind of variable.
However, after a brief daze, Fang Chan himself showed an extremely excited look, and looked at Luo Hong as if he was looking at a very valuable prey.
"You're pretty good!"
As soon as the words fell, Fang Chan's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and a muffled "crackling" sound suddenly rang out from his body. His body swelled violently and immediately became twice its original size. His skin turned black and red, revealing thick blue veins and knotted muscles.
What was even more amazing was that the white light emitted by the more than 200 Xuanqiao on his body at this moment all turned blood red, and there were also blood-colored air currents rushing out of his body, circling around his body and dancing!
As soon as this Xuandao secret technique came out, the space around Fang Chan immediately trembled, and the entire mountain was shaken, and cracks appeared.
"Die!"
While shouting, Fang Chan drew out the two silver-patterned giant axes behind him and rushed towards Luo Hong like a gust of wind.
"Use the Xuanqi I refined to kill me? Who gave you the courage!"
As he said this, Luo Hong's eyes suddenly became fierce, his feet moved slightly, and he disappeared directly.
"Stop!"
Sun Tu seemed to have seen something, his eyes widened, and he shouted and punched.
