Chapter 1972: The Guest Becomes the Host
Three days later, Qingyang City, in the castle hall.
"What! You said that Master Luo is also in the caravan!"
Du Qingyang suddenly stood up from the stone chair and stared at Chen Yang who came to report.
"Yes, my subordinates haven't received any news before. That person has entered the city just now, and he will probably arrive at the castle soon!"
Chen Yang looked a little flustered.
"Just say that I am in retreat and cannot see guests!"
Du Qingyang couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, so he could only delay it first.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the door:
"City Lord, Master Luo is here in person today. It is not the way we, Qingyang City, treat guests if you stay in seclusion."
Following the words, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the hall. There were only two people at the front, it was Luo Hong and Zi Ling who was wearing a veil.
Behind them were the three Taiyi Xuanshi from Qingyang City and their trusted captain.
Of course, although they had some intention of forcing the palace, they did not completely break up with Du Qingyang, so there were only five people entering the hall at the moment, and the Golden Immortal Captains were all standing outside the door.
"City Lord Du, Luo will not make things difficult for you by coming uninvited this time, right?"
After entering the hall, Luo Hong immediately greeted him politely.
"How could it be possible? Master Luo can come and make my humble abode shine brightly!
However, I don’t know why Master Luo came here this time? "
Du Qingyang suppressed the anger in his chest and forced a smile.
"I heard that City Lord Du had detained the person Luo wanted. Luo had no choice but to come in person."
Luo Hong didn't play around with him and directly stated his purpose.
"So, Master Luo is here to hold Du accountable?"
Du Qingyang's face darkened. He didn't want to offend Luo Hong just because of his reputation and the power behind him.
If Luo Hong continues to press forward step by step, he will not be without temper!
"City Master Du has misunderstood. Luo wants those outsiders just because there are people outside that Luo cares about.
In this Jiling Sky Realm, Luo could only use this method to inquire about news from the outside world.
As for what City Lord Du wants to do with these outsiders, Luo will naturally not ask about it after he is done. "
Luo Hong waved his hand, his tone still kind and authentic.
"Lord City Lord, I just want Master Luo to meet those three guys. What's so difficult about this?"
"That's right, and not only did Master Luo come in person, he also promised a 10% discount on all the mysterious weapons brought by the caravan. This has given us Qingyang City enough face!"
"If the City Lord is in a hurry to retreat, we can lead Master Luo to the Xuan Dou Arena on your behalf."
Three Taiyi Xuanshi from Qingyang City spoke in agreement.
Du Qingyang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he heard this. He knew that if Luo Hong couldn't get his wish today, these three people would immediately start a fuss.
"For such a trivial matter, Du will naturally not fail to give Master Luo some face. It's just unfortunate that someone from Xuancheng had taken away one of the outsiders."
If Luo Hong came to ask for someone, then Du Qingyang would never agree, but if it was just a one-time meeting, it wouldn't matter.
"It doesn't matter, Luo will just go to Xuancheng to look for him in the future."
Luo Hong knew that the person taken away by Xuancheng was Shi Chuangkong. He had a token of the Yeyang Dynasty on his body, and he did not have true spirit blood. Du Qingyang naturally reported it to Xuancheng immediately after finding out.
"Well, Master Luo, please come with me."
Du Qingyang nodded, secretly thinking that Luo Hong still knew how to measure things.
Afterwards, the group of people, led by Du Qingyang, arrived at the ninth area of the Xuan Dou Arena.
With so many big shots coming together, the Xuan Fighters and the people working in the Xuan Dou Arena looked sideways and started to guess what was going on.
"The scale of City Lord Du's Xuan Arena is really quite big. The scales in the sky are very boring. Watching these Xuan warriors fight can relieve the boredom a little bit."
The entire Xuan Dou Arena is divided into ten areas, covering half of Qingyang City. Luo Hong couldn't help but nod in admiration when he saw it.
"Haha, if Master Luo is interested, you can stay for a while, and Du will definitely arrange the most exciting mysterious fight for you!"
Du Qingyang took advantage of the situation and said, if possible, he would of course want to snatch Luo Hong from Baiyan City.
"Let's talk about it then. Luo will refine a few earth-level mysterious weapons next, so he may not have that much free time."
Luo Hong didn't fully agree when he heard this.
Not long after, the group arrived at the stone room where Han Li lived.
"City Lord, that Li Feiyu doesn't have Xuan Dou today, he must be practicing in the house."
The gray-robed young man in charge of Han Li saluted Du Qingyang nervously.
"Lord Laodu has sent Luo over. Next, we want to talk to the outsider alone, and we hope it will be granted."
Luo Hong cupped his hands and begged.
Du Qingyang had no hope of being able to listen, so he nodded happily and turned to leave.
"I would also like to thank my three Taoist friends for their help this time. Don't worry, what Luo promised will be fulfilled!"
Seeing this, Luo Hong bowed his hands towards the three Taiyi Xuanshi.
When the three people heard this, their faces were filled with joy, and after being polite, they left one after another.
As a result, apart from Luo Hong and Zi Ling, only the gray-robed young man and Chen Yang were left outside the stone gate.
"The two of us are waiting at a distance. If Master Luo has something to do, just give us your instructions!"
Seeing Luo Hong looking over, Chen Yang immediately fawningly led the gray-robed young man back to a distance.
Luo Hong smiled faintly at him, then ignored him and pushed open the stone door.
After entering the stone chamber, Zi Ling immediately closed the stone door and took out a talisman and stuck it behind the door.
"Junior Brother Han, you don't seem surprised."
Looking at Old Mo Han who was gradually losing his strength on the stone bed, Luo Hong smiled and said.
"When I heard about the rise of Qixuan Tower, I knew that senior brother would definitely come. Huh? This is"
Han Li opened his eyes and was a little surprised to see someone else beside Luo Hong.
"Junior brother, could it be that he has even forgotten the Purple Spirit Fairy?"
Luo Hong immediately showed a look of gloating, he knew something was going to happen to someone.
"Zi Ling, it's really you!"
Han Li's main purpose of entering the Scales Sky Realm was to find the Purple Spirit. Now that he could find it without any effort, he was extremely happy.
Before Zi Ling could say anything, Han Li stepped forward and hugged her.
"Zi Ling, I have been to the Black River Water Palace. You have suffered so much these years!"
Zi Ling's face turned red with embarrassment, and he could no longer say his original words of blame, so he could only remind him like a mosquito:
"What are you doing? Brother Luo is still here."
Yes, I'm still alive!
At this moment, Luo Hong somewhat didn't want to see his brother suffer, nor did he want his brother to drive a Land Rover.
This was so different from what he expected!
"Thank you, senior brother, for helping to look after Zi Ling. Junior brother doesn't want to stay here any longer. Let's leave now."
Han Li let go of Zi Ling, grabbed her hand, and headed outside the stone chamber.
"Wait a minute, junior brother, don't be anxious, there is still an opportunity waiting for you."
Upon seeing this, Luo Hong quickly stopped Old Mo Han and explained to him.
"Opportunity? But junior brother heard that Baiyan City is the most powerful of the four affiliated cities. What else can Qingyang City have that Baiyan City does not have?"
Han Li asked in confusion.
He knew that with Luo Hong's cautious temperament, he would never have brought Zi Ling here without the strength of one person to dominate a city.
"Haha, Junior Brother Han, do you want to completely solve the hidden dangers of the True Spirit bloodline in your body?
The reason why Du Qingyang forcibly kept you was to seize your true spirit bloodline. Since he dared to do this, he had something to rely on.
Moreover, even if my brother's conclusion is wrong in the end, you can still take the opportunity to improve your own profound Tao cultivation by a large margin! "
Luo Hong didn't play any riddles with Han Li, and immediately revealed her plan to become a guest.
"Senior Brother Luo, is this move too dangerous? If the plan fails by then, I will..."
Han Li hesitated when he heard this. After all, if Luo Hong's plan went wrong even slightly, he would be dead!
"There is nothing to hesitate. With Brother Luo secretly protecting him, Du Qingyang will definitely not be able to cause trouble!
The worst result then would be nothing but empty joy! "
Zi Ling had already seen Luo Hong's current profound Tao cultivation, and was very confident in him, so he immediately persuaded him.
"Haha, my brothers and sisters are right, Junior Brother Han can only believe that he is a brother!"
Luo Hong smiled and nodded, and then told Han Li the details of the plan:
"Brother's arrival will definitely make Du Qingyang advance his plan, and more than one person in Qingyang City wants his life. I believe it won't be long before someone will contact you.
In this regard, the junior brother could pretend to cooperate with him, or it would be convenient for him to blame Du Qingyang's death on them. "
Luo Hong didn't want people to suspect that he killed Du Qingyang, so making good use of the two young men became an inevitable choice.
"I understand, but the Black Robbery Insect in my heart is always a problem. I wonder if Senior Brother can do something about it?"
Seeing Luo Hong's investigation in such detail, Han Li was completely relieved. The only doubt he had was the black tribulation insect parasitizing his heart.
“The reason why this insect is so difficult to deal with is simply because you can’t use your magical powers in the Sky Realm of Accumulating Scales, otherwise it wouldn’t be considered a powerful method.
It just so happens that I am a bit special and can barely use my magical powers. Junior brother, sit down cross-legged and I will help you take out the black tribulation insect! "
After saying that, Luo Hong nodded towards Zi Ling.
Zi Ling immediately understood and replied immediately:
"I will protect you!"
Two hours later, Chen Yang walked in from the castle hall and bowed respectfully to Du Qingyang.
"How's it going?"
Du Qingyang asked in a deep voice.
"My subordinates have arranged for Master Luo to stay at Baisheng Tower. Li Feiyu is still in the Xuan Dou Arena. There is nothing strange except that he was given a Xuan-level mysterious weapon."
Chen Yang immediately reported back.
"It seems that he really just wants to inquire about the situation in the outside world, but when rumors about this matter get out, it will definitely attract some people's attention.
That’s all, in order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it’s better to use it up as soon as possible. Morning sun! "
Du Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. However, although this was just a false alarm, it also made him feel a sense of urgency.
"My subordinate is here."
Chen Yang responded.
"Inform Huben and the others to make final preparations immediately. One month later, the Jialuo Blood Formation will be activated."
Du Qingyang ordered in a deep voice.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Chenyang quickly lowered his head to accept the order, hiding the fleeting excitement in his eyes.
A month passed in a hurry. Han Li was practicing in Xingchi this day, but he was forcibly interrupted.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Mr. Li is practicing. What do you want to do when you barge in like this?!"
"Haha, what a pitiful creature. He has no idea that he is practicing so hard and is just making wedding clothes for others. Take it!"
Chen Yang sneered, and with a wave of his hand, several trusted captains under Du Qingyang rushed in and surrounded Han Li who was sitting cross-legged in the Star Pool.
However, to Chen Yang's surprise, Han Li did not resist afterwards and was easily captured by a group of Golden Immortal captains.
"Friend Li, it's not like you to surrender like this."
Chen Yang immediately became suspicious.
"Humph, Li will not sit and wait for death, but now is not the best time. I hope that when the opportunity comes, you and your master behind you can hold on!"
Han Li stared at Chen Yang fiercely.
"Haha, then Chen will wait and see, take him away!"
Chen Yang was not angry but happy when he heard this, not only because this was more in line with Han Li's temperament, but also because Han Li's behavior was more in line with his interests.
At an order, Han Li was led by Chen Yang and others into a corridor leading to the underground, and finally came to a large underground space.
The underground space here has a dome structure, which seems to be a naturally formed underground cave. Before entering it, Han Li sensed a hot and dry breath mixed with a sweet and fishy smell.
When he got closer, Han Li saw a strange stone platform in the shape of a five-pointed star built on the ground in the center of the cave.
The stone platform is dozens of feet in size and three feet above the ground. There are two one-foot deep grooves in the center. There is a six-foot high round platform on the top of each of the five sharp corners. A beast core the size of a child's fist is embedded in each groove.
Judging from the breath, they are all excellent earth-level beast cores.
At this moment, Du Qingyang, wearing a brand new red robe, is standing in the center of the stone platform, waiting for their arrival.
"Lord City Lord, the person has been brought here!"
Chen Yang saluted respectfully.
"Well, take it over."
Du Qingyang ordered the four Golden Immortal captains with a majestic aura.
The four men did not dare to neglect the order and immediately took Han Li and threw him into a groove not far away.
As soon as he stabilized his body, Han Li felt a strong stickiness under his feet. When he looked down, he found some black gel material in the groove, which looked like black plasma accumulated over the years but somehow not completely solidified.
"Lord Du, at this point, can you let Li be a ghost?"
Han Li pretended to be unwilling, wanting to know how much benefit he would get.
"Don't worry, my friend, the Jialuo Blood Formation will refine your soul later and will not give you the opportunity to be a ghost."
Du Qingyang sneered excitedly.
After that, he ordered Chen Yang and the other five to enter the formation, each responsible for a round platform.
"It's finally about to start. I hope that the "Heavenly Evil Prison Art" will not let me down."
In a shadow that no one noticed, Luo Hong was watching the opening of the Jialuo Blood Formation with interest.
