Chapter 205 People From Yu State
Seeing what Marquis Beining meant, only guests from the Third Realm were eligible to receive third-grade elixirs. The Third Realm was what mattered, and the Second Realm was just for the purpose.
As the deputy master of the Eclipse Sect, Zhu Peng dared to ask for two portions, not because he was arrogant, but because the people who came to the Eclipse Sect were indeed worth the price.
At the middle table, the three people in the Hou family, father and son, had different expressions.
The second son Yu Wensong's eyes were filled with confusion, but he was not talkative enough to make opinions. The eldest son Yu Wenhua and the Marquis of Beining Yu Wencheng couldn't help but take a closer look at Liu Feng.
"Since Master Zhu has spoken, it's okay to have two copies." Yu Wenhua smiled nonchalantly and waved his hand cheerfully.
A sergeant brought the second box of third-grade elixir, but Zhu Peng took it unceremoniously.
After delivering the greeting gifts, Yu Wensong greeted the servants and served wine and food, while Yu Wenhua raised his voice to talk about business.
"We invite you all to come here to eradicate the Baili Demon Forest that has been causing trouble on this border for a long time."
"There are nearly three thousand monsters in the forest, and among them there are nearly twenty monsters from the three realms that have become climate. My father was ordered to guard this remote place, and it is his duty to stabilize it..."
Four sects and one monk came together, and people from all directions listened to the prince of the Hou Mansion explain the matter.
It turns out that there are three thousand spirits and monsters in the forest within a hundred miles, and they can also raise monsters in the three realms, all because there are spiritual springs distributed underground.
Although Yu Wenhua did not elaborate, everyone here could imagine that there was probably something fishy underground in the forest, and that the monsters must have taken advantage of the location.
Otherwise, the army of 30,000 warriors under Marquis Ning in the north would really show off its power and burn hundreds of miles of forest land. The army formation would push across and the monsters inside would not be able to resist it even if they doubled in number.
Marquis Beining has been fighting the monsters in the monster forest for many years. He invited many helpers this time, but he was definitely not really interested in getting rid of the monsters.
If they were really serious and those monsters had been causing trouble for a long time, they could report it to the Ming court and call in monks from various departments to kill the monsters in one pot.
Failure to do so shows that at least half of the prince's words are false.
"The Marquis of Beining is full of deathly aura. He is in a hurry to break through. There is something he wants under the forest." Liu Feng pressed his hand on the jade box, knowing what he wanted.
He guessed that during this trip, the Marquis of Beining would use them for private matters and would not alarm the court.
He could think of it, and so could everyone else in the hall, but everyone was hoping for benefits. No one cared whether the Marquis Beining was dedicated to serving the people, or whether he was hypocritical.
What everyone really cares about is how to save their lives and get more benefits from this transaction.
I heard that there were nearly twenty third-level monsters. The third-level people from the six directions looked calm, while the second-level juniors from each sect looked somewhat worried.
Except for Liu Feng, the other two realms present had no choice but to follow the sect's arrangements.
More than half an hour passed, and the night outside was getting darker.
Everyone had a rough idea of the whole story.
Seeing that no one in the hall asked any questions, Yu Wenhua kept the smile on his face and snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that all the people he invited had ulterior motives.
These people didn't care about the affairs of his Beining Marquis Mansion at all, so naturally they didn't bother to care about the truth or falsehood of his words.
When the Hou Mansion invites people, they don't expect outsiders to help sincerely. They just use their strength to deal with some monsters.
In the final analysis, both sides are taking advantage of each other and benefiting from each other.
"Everyone, please rest at your residence for a day until the army mobilizes 10,000 troops. At that time, please cooperate with the army to defeat those monsters in one fell swoop."
"Come here, take the guests..."
Yu Wenhua stood up, cupped his hands, and called the servants to come over, but his words were suddenly stopped.
Almost at the same time, Yin Sheng, the deputy sect master of the Blood Gu Sect in the lobby, turned his head and looked out the door with his "empty pupils".
Four three-buddha-rooted men and one two-buddha-rooted young man from Honglian Temple all looked at him sideways.
Taoist Luo Sheng was more sensitive to Qi. The ten Taoists, regardless of whether they were in the second or third realm, turned to the door, and the leather bags hanging on their bodies trembled slightly.
Beside Yu Wenhua, the stooped old man stood up slowly, his pupils turning as scarlet as blood.
"Get out of the way and let them come in for a chat."
Beining Hou Yuwencheng's eyes were cold and he glanced at the soldiers guarding the door.
In front of the more than a hundred sergeants, there were fifteen Qianzong, seven of whom had red hair and red eyebrows. They had broken through the three realms due to the blood sacrifice.
The other eight Qianzong were not clean either. They took some devious paths to become three-level warriors.
Because of this, when someone touched the house at this time, only two of the fifteen trashes showed strange colors and even noticed it.
In the hall, the second elder of the Jue Sect, Lu Huai, and the deputy master of the Erosion Sect, Zhu Peng, looked a little ugly. They took a closer look and found nothing.
However, Liu Feng looked outside the door first. As far as he could see with his naked eyes, there was nothing in the open space left by the sergeants.
But in the sight of "Kong Tong", two human figures exuding rotten blood appeared, walking towards them with graceful steps.
"I have met the Marquis." The soft and charming voices sounded together in front of the door.
Two charming women with pale skin, one tall and one short, appeared out of thin air.
The two women each held a lantern, the lampshade was covered with runes, and the two heads inside the lamp turned out to be evil objects.
One head had empty eye sockets, as if someone had gouged out the eyeballs, and the other head had its mouth wide open, with most of its tongue pulled out.
The moment they appeared, the faces of everyone inside and outside the hall turned cold, because the clothes of the two women were not from Da Sui's side, but from the enemy country Yuguo.
"Bai Yan, Bai Die, you are... the concubines of Yan Chuan. Why do you come to me?" Yu Wencheng recognized the person.
He led 30,000 troops to guard this remote place. Half of the 600 miles of wasteland belonged to Yu State.
Opposite is a mountain range spanning nearly a thousand miles, with a canyon leading to it, and the person guarding the canyon is Yan Chuan, the general of the Yu State.
The tall woman named Baidie smiled and said: "I and I are here on behalf of General Yan to discuss the matter of the Demon Forest with the Marquis."
There were nearly 200 people from the second level and above, and more than 20 people from the third level. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, these two women, who did not look like living people, behaved calmly and seemed not to care about their own safety.
"Look at the guests in this hall. It's easy to eradicate the demon forest, so I won't bother you to intervene." Old Yu Wencheng's face was cold and stern, and he was no longer approachable as before.
At this time, the lantern swayed in the hands of a shorter woman named Bai Yan, and the tongue-shaped head inside the lantern opened its eyes.
The evil creature rolled its eyes, scanning the people in the hall, and finally looked at Yu Wencheng who was sitting in the seat.
"Old ghost Yuwen, I know that you are going to deal with those monsters for the sake of the Four Realms. If you want to enter the Four Realms, so do I. You can't eat alone."
The father and son of Beining Hou suddenly looked gloomy and stared coldly at the long-tongued evil thing in the lamp, knowing that Yan Chuan was using the evil thing to talk to them through the air.
As the evil thing opened its mouth, including Liu Feng's clone, everyone in the surrounding areas felt as if their mouths and tongues were being burned, and the burning sensation penetrated deep into their bodies along their tongues.
"Third-grade evil object." Everyone's expressions darkened.
Being sealed in the lamp can also affect the second-level monks. It cannot be just the second-level monks, but most likely the third-level monks.
This is just the effect of the evil thing with a long tongue on the right dispersing, and the other eyeless head has not moved yet.
"Guests from the Third Realm and below, please go to the courtyard to rest first, and someone will come to guide the guests."
After the words of Prince Yu Wenhua fell, Liu Feng, Ye Yunmeng and others stood up on the side of the eclipse gate, and Er Jing also stood up in other seats.
Nearly fifty people left the hall quickly, and the second young master, Yu Wensong, fell at the back with his fists clenched.
He is still in the second realm, but his eldest brother Yu Wenhua is already a martial artist in the middle stage of the third realm.
Everyone outside the gate retreated, leaving only fifteen Qianzong guards.
Just as he left the house, a servant with cultivation level came over.
The eleven people in the eclipse gate, except Zhu Peng, headed by Liu Feng, followed the two leading servants.
There are waterside pavilions and long corridors in the mansion, and people from all walks of life are taken to different courtyards.
The Hou Mansion deliberately dispersed them, but was still wary of them getting together and causing trouble.
Outside the corridor, the fragrance of medicine is mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
Not a single plant or plant here is useless, all are rare flowers and trees with medicinal properties.
Ye Yunmeng blinked at Liu Feng and lowered his voice: "Master, what a good opportunity."
There was no need for Liu Feng to talk too much. The "Eternal Darkness" Gu technique was quietly used, and a circle of darkness spread out on the skin under the clothes.
Behind him were four guardians, four disciples, and eight second-generation body Gu masters who tacitly understood each other and gathered around him, blocking the "elder brother" in the middle.
Three of them had the strange poison "Snake Docks" in their bodies, and they each used their poison to confuse the hearing of the surrounding Marquis soldiers.
The warriors in the nearby first and second realms, if they don't watch this with their own eyes, it's hard for them to know that they are poisoned.
With the black curtain covering the Buddha's light, a white-haired young man escaped from Cangtuo Temple, disappeared in a flash, and disappeared into the flowers outside the corridor.
Ye Yunmeng suppressed her joy, knowing that the leader was going to do something big, and when the leader's strength improved, her benefits would be indispensable.
The eight Eclipse Gate Gu Masters behind them all swallowed dryly, their suspicions confirmed.
The incident before leaving the Eclipse Sect was probably not caused by the fight between the two sect masters, but by the white-haired boy who left in front of him.
Duan Miao's face turned pale and he was frightened.
He vaguely caught a white-haired figure. The appearance caused by the poison had changed, but the facial features remained the same. It was the young Gu Master.
Nearly a year and a half later, his memory is still fresh.
The last time Liu Feng and him fought in the insect nest in Qujia Village, the other party was just an incarnation. In just a year and a half, the other party could do whatever he wanted in the Eclipse Gate.
"It's really him, he has come this far!" Duan Miao's eyes were horrified, and his heart was filled with fear.
It was late at night, and a blurry white shadow shuttled between the flowers, which was the true form of Liu Feng.
Liu Feng came here for the good medicine from Marquis Beining, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
Liu Feng had seen the meeting gift sent by the Marquis Beining and his son. It was full of scraps of third-grade elixirs, and not a single piece was complete.
Once the elixir is cut open, a lot of its medicinal properties will be lost.
The box of scraps in his hand, plus the box in Zhu Peng's hand, were not enough for him to attack the three realms.
At present, two Sanjing people from Yu State came to the door with a third-level evil object. The Sanjing was dragged near the lobby. If they don't do it, how long will it take?
"The warehouse... should be over there. If you are above the middle stage of the Third Realm, you can just personally guard it..."
Liu Feng's compound eyes opened one by one, and the brightly lit Hou Mansion came into view from all directions.
Scanning his eyes, somewhere behind him on the left, there were three small formations inside and outside. Not surprisingly, they must be the warehouse where the incoming items are stored in the Marquis Mansion.
Beside the corridor, a red-haired captain wearing armor and carrying an armored soldier's sword passed by.
There was a strange sound in this man's ear, and he subconsciously looked sideways, with strange pupils reflected in his eyes.
Before he could see the owner of his eyes clearly, the red-haired captain suddenly felt top-heavy, as if he had fallen to the bottom of a lake, gasping and fell to the ground.
With a big hand grab, the red-haired figure disappeared. He was crushed to death on the spot and buried under the flowers.
Liu Feng used the "Mirror Shadow" Gu technique and when he walked out of the flowers, he had become a strong, red-haired and red-browed captain.
…
In the south courtyard of the Hou Mansion, two servants in gray clothes were in front holding lamps, and the most powerful Gu masters were behind.
The nine people's eyes wandered, and they glanced out of the corridor from the corner of their eyes. They saw a large number of sergeants patrolling the rockery.
The second elder, Lu Huai, stayed in the hall. Now the first of the nine people is Ji Feihe, the third elder of the Jue Sect, who has completed his second life.
A little behind was He Xingbai, who was sitting at the fourth elder's seat, with three knife-like insect legs under his robes ready to move.
"Elder Ji, we..." He Xingbai opened his mouth unobtrusively.
The whisper floated into his ears, Ji Feihe kept walking and shook his head slightly.
He knew what the Fourth Elder meant, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. The Sui Official was rich and the people were poor, and the prince's family had made countless money. It was really unreasonable not to take advantage of him.
But this third elder of the Jue Sect still has some self-awareness. Now there are sergeants everywhere in the Hou Mansion, a few are from the first level and most are from the second level. They have obviously transferred the elites of the army lieutenant level.
If they were caught messing around, they would probably be chopped into pieces by hundreds of people.
Facing a large group of second-level warriors, without the strength of the third level, it is difficult to kill them with one move. A slight delay will lead to a siege. They cannot afford this risk.
When the two people were communicating secretly, Lu Yao on the side was absent-minded and clenched her teeth.
"It's him, it's him...he will kill dad."
There was no reason why Lu Yao was not afraid. As Miss Chonggu, she always knew exactly how Chonggu controlled his Gu children and how he used his disciples as fertilizer.
Dad wants to be safe in everything he does. Before he can take the third reincarnation, his disciples will become a threat. He will not allow his disciples to become the second generation Gu Master and will kill them all.
High-quality medicine is rare. In order to attack the third life, Dad slowly polished it, accumulated nutrients for many years, and combined it with the spiritual essence obtained from the insect nest, and finally had a chance to give it a try.
Over the years, only Liu Feng became an exception. The other disciples either died in the middle of the journey, or were reduced to nourishment when they were trying to achieve the second life, or when they had just emerged from the second life.
It seems reasonable for Chonggu to treat her disciples like this, and the disciples would backlash her, but that was her father.
Lu Yao turned her face and looked at another adjacent corridor, where there were six people from the Medicine Gu Sect.
"She is Kong Hui. This girl was captured by Liu Feng in Guzhou and followed him for a while." Lu Yao's eyes fell on the fat female Gu Master.
Among the news obtained by Jue Sect, Kong Hui from the Medicine Gu Sect had traveled with Liu Feng for a long time, so he must have some understanding of Liu Feng.
She was the only one who doubted Huangfu Sheng. If Kong Hui was also doubtful like her, it would probably be wrong.
"Third Elder, if you have something to do, please go to the Medicine Gu Sect." Lu Yao said in a low voice.
Third Elder Ji Feihe frowned when he heard this, and was about to say a few perfunctory words, but his eyes suddenly widened, bloodshot eyes appeared, and two lines of blood tears shed unconsciously.
At the same time, his mouth and tongue felt like they were being burned by flames, and the burning sensation was transferred from his mouth and tongue to his internal organs, as if he was being burned alive.
At this moment, not only him, but also the top Gu masters around him, as well as the surrounding soldiers, and even the entire Marquis Mansion, were all spared.
An invisible evil influence spread and enveloped the entire Hou Mansion.
"They didn't reach an agreement and started taking action..."
