Chapter 247 Yuanying Zhenjun

After a long time, Lu Changan calmed down, but he still had some doubts about the authenticity of the information.

First, there will be false information in war. For example, bluffing and controlling public opinion are common operations.

Second, there are some doubts in the intelligence.

Why did Lihuo Palace give up its defense?

The Supreme Elder actually agreed to a gambling battle with the Nascent Soul Lord of the Jinyang Sect?

Both are in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Why did Master Lihuo, as a veteran Nascent Soul, fail miserably?

As far as Lu Changan knew, the Liuyang True Lord sent by the Jinyang Sect was born in the Nascent Soul stage nearly two hundred years ago.

In terms of qualifications and background, it is not as good as Master Lihuo.

If True Lord Liuyang has outstanding strength. At that time, the two Nascent Souls of the Jinyang Sect joined forces to avoid being completely defeated by Chu Tianfeng of the Yan State, and were finally forced to sign an agreement for the sect to move north.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the information, Lu Changan went to Master Xia's dojo residence and paid a visit.

After Young Master Xia was promoted to the later stage of foundation building, his status within the clan greatly increased and he began to share some of the affairs of the family and the chamber of commerce.

Young Master Xia still respected Lu Changan as a worshiper, and there was no rift because of Yu Qin's matter.

…

"The information should be true."

Young Master Xia said seriously, "Recently, many war preparation materials have begun to drop significantly in price. There were signs of this situation even in the previous year or two."

Lu Changan had made war fortune before and understood the rationale.

The Chamber of Commerce is more sensitive to price changes. From the analysis of economic laws, it can be seen that the Liang War is indeed over.

Moreover, the decline in war supplies has been trending a year or two ago.

This shows that the upper echelons of Liang and Feng have already made judgments about this.

Lu Changan thought of Mr. Wang and his judgment three years ago. He was sure that the war would end and changed his plan to return to Liang Kingdom.

"By the way, I got a rumor from the top of the Merchant Alliance. It is said that the 'Chu Tianfeng' of the Yan Kingdom was dissatisfied with the speed of the Jinyang Sect's northward migration and wanted to quell the war as soon as possible, so he put pressure on it."

"This is the reason why the two major sects decided to fight in advance and Master Lihuo agreed to bet on the battle."

Although it was hearsay, it answered some of the doubts that Lu Changan found in the intelligence.

If Lihuo Palace defends, the Jinyang Sect camp will not be able to end the war so quickly.

After all, there is only one True Lord Nascent Soul from the Jinyang Sect. There is also an older Yuanying who is guarding the mountain gate to prevent Chu Tianfeng and others from being dishonest.

Although many years ago, the great Nascent Soul Lords of Feng, Yan, and Chen reached an unknown armistice agreement and even established a fourth-level soul blood contract.

"Chu Tianfeng is the only middle-stage Nascent Soul in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom. He can be called a scornful person."

"If he speaks, Lihuo Palace will have no choice but to fight. If 'Zhenren Lihuo' wins that gambling battle, it will definitely be beneficial to Lihuo Palace, but it's a pity that he lost..."

Lu Changan had a rough guess in his mind.

"Lu Gongfeng doesn't have to worry too much about his old friends in the Liang Kingdom. The Jinyang Sect is relatively kind to the forces or loose cultivators who surrender and surrender, and rarely causes random killings."

Young Master Xia comforted him.

He knew that Liang State was the hometown of Lu Changan, who had practiced there for more than a hundred years.

Now that their homeland has been invaded, no normal monk would be in a good mood.

"I hope so."

Lu Changan doesn't need to worry too much.

The Feiyue Lake Mu family, because "Mu Jiu'an" helped take the lead, decisively surrendered when the Jinyang Sect camp attacked.

With Mu Jiuan, a monk from the Jinyang Sect, taking care of them, Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun will not be treated badly after they surrender.

Jinyun Valley surrendered a few years ago and received preferential treatment.

Zhao Siyao achieved Falun Dafa and lived for more than three hundred years, and was considered a high-level person in the sect.

Lu Changan can understand that the Jinyang Sect did not kill or plunder wantonly.

First, it can reduce the casualties of Jinyang Sect.

Secondly, the strategic purpose of Jinyang Sect is to move northward into the realm of cultivating immortals in the Liang Kingdom, not just to plunder and leave.

This is fundamentally different from the behavior of the Liang Kingdom sect that invaded Feng Kingdom, took advantage of the situation, and pursued short-term interests.

…

After bidding farewell to Young Master Xia and returning to Qiufeng Island, Lu Changan's expectations for the future became increasingly clear.

"It will take many years for the Jinyang Sect to move north and rectify the immortal world of Liang Kingdom and form a stable order."

Lu Changan knew very well that the Liang Kingdom was in chaos just after the war, so it was not the time to go back.

Before the pill formation, Jing State was still the most comfortable and stable area in the surrounding area.

After waiting for more than ten years, or at most twenty years, Lu Changan can consider returning to Liang Kingdom after he has formed the elixir.

As for the change of ownership of Liang Guo? Lu Changan had rebuilt it several times and had no objection to it.

Lihuo Palace is just the ruling class and cannot represent the world of immortality in Liang.

Just like the difference between the court and the country.

If the imperial court is corrupt and people of insight criticize and encourage it, it does not mean that it is not patriotic.

When Lihuo Palace was in charge of the Liang Kingdom, his reputation was indeed not very good.

As far as Lu Changan learned, Song Wenshu colluded with Jie Xiu. The fisherman at night was actually a disciple who had been expelled from Lihuo Palace and the grandson of the elder.

When the Huanglong Mountain lineage was destroyed, there was also the shadow of Lihuo Palace behind it, in order to return a wave of blood and make up for the losses in the war.

Including Liang Shaotian, who was unjustly accused of raping and killing the female cultivator of Xuanyin Pavilion in his early years, and was wanted by the sect. In fact, he was framed by the true disciples of Lihuo Palace.

Xiang Jinglong was wanted by Lihuo Palace, which was an unforeseen disaster.

The Xuanyin Demon Sect led by Liang Shaotian had such hatred towards the Liang Kingdom sect, especially the Lihuo Palace, all of which were planted in the past.

…

Three days later.

Yunyan Fairy City, Xunxian Mansion Inn.

According to the agreement, Lu Changan conducted warm treatment for Mr. Wang for the third year.

It is very easy for Lu Changan to make a purchase once a year and go to Fairy City to purchase.

This time when he came here, Lu Changan wanted to get inside information about the Liang War from Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Wang has used the third-level elixir, and the repair progress is gratifying. Maybe in another three years, he will be cured and the speed of cultivation of the earth spirit root will be restored..."

Lu Changan took Wang Feng's pulse and said with a smile.

He was naturally happy to speed up the treatment and get the remaining reward as soon as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, can you do a few more treatments this time to repair my hidden injuries as soon as possible?"

Wang Feng seemed anxious during this meeting.

Lu Changan was surprised, shook his head and said: "Every secret treatment will cause Lu to lose his vitality and put a burden on his body."

"Wang is willing to compensate for the loss of vitality and the impact on Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation with third-level elixirs and ores."

"Please, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Wang Feng looked sincere, bowed and begged.

Lu Changan confirmed that Wang Feng was really in a hurry and wanted to repair his body in a short time.

What is the reason for such a change?

Lu Changan's thoughts were spinning, and he had a faint guess, but he couldn't be sure.

"Ordinary third-level elixirs and ores are of little significance to Lu. Lu is getting older. If he delays his practice, he may not be able to obtain elixirs for the rest of his life."

Lu Changan decisively refused.

His current healing progress is comparable to that of a third-level pharmacist and famous doctor, and cannot exceed the standard.

Wang Feng is a true disciple of Lihuo Palace, and there is an elder in the late stage of Dan formation behind him. He uses the Evergreen Secret Technique, and the clues may be revealed later.

The defeat of Lihuo Palace is not destruction.

It is difficult to kill them all, and the Jinyang Sect is not willing to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, there must be some middle and high-level people in the Lihuo Palace who are fighting to get injured and fight their way out of the siege.

Elder Wang, who was behind Wang Feng, was very powerful and had probably escaped.

Di Linggen's grandson is in Jing Kingdom, and Elder Wang is likely to rush here.

In this way, Lu Changan couldn't expose the secret of Evergreen, and would rather not have half of the reward left.

The half of the Ghost Bamboo can be used as well.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I know this matter is very difficult for you. What do you need to impress you? Why don't you make an offer?"

Wang Feng was unwilling to give in and gritted his teeth.

"If Fellow Daoist Wang can come up with the Crystal Condensation Pill or one of the seven-core Xuanyue Flower, Lu will consider it."

Lu Changan deliberately made things difficult and tested.

Back then, when Wang Feng came to Jing Country to seek refuge, Elder Wang, who was behind it, might have prepared pill-forming materials for him.

Wang Feng was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "When I came to Jing Kingdom, I was only in the middle stage of foundation building. I was still far away from forming pills. Grandpa didn't prepare anything for me to form pills."

The two fell into a brief silence, and Lu Changan began to give Wang Feng routine treatment.

In fact, if Wang Feng could really come up with the Crystal Condensation Pill or the Seven-core Xuanyue Flower, Lu Changan wouldn't mind taking a little risk.

Everyone is willing to do low-risk, high-yield things, but they rarely come across them.

The Lihuo Palace was defeated and looked like a bereaved dog. The escapees broke out from all sides and it was difficult to reach a large scale.

The injured Zhendan was undergoing major repairs in the later stage, and even if he fled to Jing Kingdom, he had to keep a low profile. The possibility of going to war just because of a little suspicion is low.

Moreover, Lu Changan has many trump cards, including the protection of the true elixir demon, and is no longer a casual cultivator walking on thin ice at the bottom of the world of immortality.

…

Two hours later.

Wang Feng watched Lu Changan disappear from the guest room.

His handsome face changes in light and dark, and he clenches his fists with reluctance.

"The Supreme Elder is seriously injured and the Nascent Soul is damaged. I'm afraid he won't live for more than a year. There is an urgent need to train a successor."

"There are very few true disciples left who were lucky enough to escape from the Fire Palace. With my qualifications and my grandfather's support, I have a great chance of being qualified to be trained as a golden elixir-level treasure."

"At that time, the Supreme Elder will personally check the body of the golden elixir seed to pass on the tradition of Lihuo Palace. If he finds that my body is damaged and leaves flaws, even if it can be repaired, my competitiveness will decline. "

Wang Feng was worried that his physical symptoms would leave the impression that he was fundamentally flawed in the mind of the Supreme Elder.

Golden elixir seeds are the objects used by the Lihuo Palace to cultivate the Nascent Soul.

Now, the Lihuo Palace was defeated. The original higher-order Nascent Soul Seeds and middle-stage Golden Core monks were rounded up and killed, and more than half of the true disciples were killed or injured.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Whoever can take the lead in forming the immortal golden elixir and become the next golden elixir monk, the treasures brought out by Lihuo Palace, and the opportunities at the Nascent Soul level will be tilted towards him to the greatest extent in the future.

Grasp it, this is the road to heaven!

…

On the northern border of Jing Kingdom, in the valley near the Black Mist Mountains.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and dark clouds rolled in.

Boom boom!

The storms of elixir power and the halo of the magic weapon formed a shock wave like a natural disaster, leveling several nearby mountains to the ground.

"Liang Shaotian! How dare you—"

"A demon bastard in the middle stage of pill formation actually dares to intercept and kill the monks from Lihuo Palace!"

In the valley at the center of the battlefield, Lihuo Palace deployed a temporary third-order formation, and a huge red light shield shrouded it for several miles. It kept "squeaking" and the flames were flying in all directions.

In the sky above the formation fire shield, there are figures of the Xuanyin Demon Sect floating one after another. The lowest cultivation level is the False Alchemy Master, and there are also three True Alchemy cultivators.

The evil-looking long-haired man at the front is dressed in a black robe with cloud patterns, with sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples and a nose as if it were hanging from a gallbladder.

A pair of cold, deep black eyes seemed to contain tens of thousands of years of ice, which shocked the soul.

"Elder Wang, the sect's peak level of elixir formation is no more than this, and you can only act like a coward."

"Do you dare to go out and fight Liang?"

Liang Shaotian stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the black cloud light, surrounded by groups of cold blades flashing and twisted magic flames.

Puff!

All the magic weapons touched by the magic flames dimmed and left black scorch marks. When they fell on the formation, they instantly opened gaps.

"You are taking advantage of others! When I am in my prime, do you dare to talk about fighting?"

In the valley, Elder Wang, who was wearing a gray robe, had a gloomy face.

He controlled a cattail leaf fan magic weapon, which caused groups of purple and blue strange winds, enough to blow up rocks as big as houses to block the invasion of "Black Gang Magic Flame".

"This boy's [Black Gang Magic Flame] is one of the ten great true fire magic flames of Daqing. It cannot be confronted head-on when it is cultivated to the small success stage!"

There are two real Dan and five fake Dan real people in Lihuo Palace. They assisted Elder Wang across the formation to resist the attack of the real people of Xuanyin Demon Sect.

In the heart of the valley, there were still a dozen elite foundation-building disciples of the Lihuo Palace, who were terrified at the moment.

In the middle of these foundation-building disciples, a white-faced Taoist priest in a purple Taoist robe sat cross-legged. His face was covered with wrinkles and he looked visibly old.

"Grand Elder, you are awake!"

Amidst several exclamations, the purple-robed Taoist priest opened his eyes like a dead lake and glared at Liang Shaotian, whose long hair was flying and whose demonic flames were raging in the sky above the formation.

"Get out of the way!"

Liang Shaotian felt a warning sign in his heart, and a sharp light flashed in his dark pupils. The demonic flames around him jumped, and several constantly changing afterimages passed through the void.

"Evil disciple of the Demon Cult!"

With an old cold snort, there seemed to be thunder in the sky.

Three dark red arcs of light as thin as fingers, like a divine punishment, nimbly tracking those changing afterimages like snakes.

Liang Shaotian's magic power surged, and his secret method burst out. His speed almost exceeded that of the late Jindan stage, but he barely avoided one of the arc lights.

Swoosh!

A mountain peak a hundred feet high in the distance was pierced by the dark red arc light that missed, and then erupted with blazing flames, breaking into pieces like a watermelon.

There were two dark red arc lights left.

One hit Liang Shaotian head-on.

The other brushed his shoulder and instantly melted a nearby fake Dan Zhenren of the Demon Sect into ashes.

"Yuanying Zhenjun!"

"Terrible! I was scared to death..."

A few feet away, the muscular man with wheat-colored skin was Xiang Jinglong, his face pale and trembling at this moment.

Yuanying Zhenjun's casual attack may be resisted by the late Zhendan Daxiu, but ordinary early Jindan Zhenren will die if touched by it.

Bang!

Liang Shaotian's figure wrapped in demonic flames, holding a dark and colorful ancient shield in his hand, flew backwards, and his body sank into a mountain.

The magic flame and Dan power on his shoulder melted away, leaving a dark red hole with black smoke.

"Black Gang Magic Flame! Ancient Demon Shield! This boy has amazing luck, and I'm afraid he has inherited the relics of Xuanyin Demon Cult."

The purple-robed Taoist who completed the attack had a solemn face, holding his chest with his hand, and his mana was disordered, and he coughed lightly.

"Haha! The information from Master Liang is indeed true. The 'Master Lihuo' is seriously injured, and his strength is only one-tenth or one-twelfth of his strength, and he can't fight for a long time."

A loud and long laugh came from the forest in the direction of the Black Mist Mountains.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A fat middle-aged man in a gilded robe came with several real people to kill.

The mana aura of this man is like a mountain torrent, which makes ordinary real people tremble with fear. He is like a late-stage real Dan cultivator.

"Deputy Alliance Leader Duan, Liang took the lead to find out the truth, and you finally showed up."

Liang Shaotian snorted coldly, with a mocking tone in his tone.

The fat middle-aged man in the late Jindan stage in front of him is the deputy leader of the Jing State Business Alliance and the ancestor of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

"Haha! Duan follows the lead of Master Liang. When we get the benefits of the treasures of the Lihuo Palace, we will split them 50-50."

The fat middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said.

Although Liang Shaotian's cultivation is not as good as his, his strength is better than his.

Just now, he used the secret technique, with the help of the black magic flame and the defensive ancient treasure, to withstand the attack of the seriously injured Yuanying, and was only slightly injured.

This ability, Deputy Leader Duan thought he was not as good as.

"Don't give that old guy a chance to breathe, kill--"

The Xuanyin Demon Sect and Deputy Leader Duan joined forces, with as many as six True Dan cultivators and more than ten Fake Dan True People.

Liang Shaotian and Deputy Leader Duan are equivalent to two late Jindan cultivators, or even better.

Boom!

The temporary third-level formation of the Lihuo Palace collapsed in an instant.

The Yuanying of Master Lihuo was damaged and too seriously injured to continue to attack. He was restrained by Liang Shaotian and the others.

Elder Wang was also seriously injured and his strength fell to the middle stage of Zhendan. He led the disabled Zhenren of Lihuo Palace to fight, but their numbers and status were suppressed.

"Fulin! You take the disciples to evacuate first. I will use the secret method later to stimulate the potential of the body and kill them..."

The voice of Master Lihuo rang in the ears of Elder Wang and others.

After a few breaths.

A layer of translucent purple flames ignited on Master Lihuo's body, and his shriveled skin and flesh returned to white and plump, and his face turned rosy.

In an instant, his mana state doubled, and he controlled a red leaf magic weapon to brew a flame cloud of several miles in radius, like a flaming mountain, pressing towards the Zhenren of Xuanyin Demon Sect and the Chamber of Commerce.

Liang Shaotian and Deputy Alliance Leader Duan, who were the first to bear the brunt, had their hair and robes scorched and smoking, and they were in a very embarrassed state.

"Quick! Set up the formation!"

The demon sect master behind Liang Shaotian took out the formation plate, formation flag, and special formation symbols, and set up an ancient formation on the spot.

Whoosh! Crash!

The gloomy, cold black heavy water rolled up from all directions, forming an endless formation of black water covering hundreds of feet.

"Xuanyin Heavy Water Formation!"

Master Lihuo was shocked. The overwhelming flames were offset by the deep heavy water.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the secret technique to activate and kill a few real people, but unexpectedly, the Xuanyin Demon Cult restrained the magic formation of his flame magical power.

"Headmaster Liang, it has to be you!"

Deputy Alliance Leader Duan secretly sweated. Without such formations, at least half of the real people present would have died.

"snort."

Liang Shaotian looked calm, standing with his hands behind his hands, his long hair flowing, as if he had everything under control.

He couldn't help but recall a mysterious man who claimed to be from the Wujian Sect, one of the six demonic sects, and provided him with extremely detailed information.

Liang Shaotian was determined to retaliate, so how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Even if he knew that he was being used by others and that Nascent Soul Master could not be challenged, he would still stab him severely!

…

Half an hour later.

A ray of purple escaping light shuttled between the clouds.

In the light, Master Lihuo was as skinny as firewood, with a layer of aged and wrinkled flesh hanging on his body.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, the purple light dimmed, Master Lihuo's eyes turned black, and his body fell downwards.

With the body of True Monarch Nascent Soul, although he won't fall to pieces, he will definitely be in a state of embarrassment.

"Fellow Taoist Lihuo, I finally found you."

A plain male voice sounded in my ears.

Master Lihuo's eyes flashed, and he found himself sitting on a mountain that was as flat as a board.

To be precise, there is a section of the mountain that was flattened by an unknown force and is missing.

A majestic man with a tall and straight body, shoulders as sharp as daggers, and a silver-trimmed cloud robe stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Master Lihuo's heart trembled, and he felt that the surrounding light, air, and mountain breeze seemed to be surrounding him.

Master Lihuo's beard trembled and he cursed angrily:

"Chu Tianfeng, you went back on your word!"

"It was a one-on-one gambling battle that was clearly agreed. Why did someone secretly shoot a cold arrow? Otherwise, I would never have lost so miserably!"
