Chapter 1228 The Counterattack Begins

"Haha, I'm Lu Musheng. We left Luofeng Temple in a hurry last time. Now three days have passed. I wonder how much City Lord Zhu's injuries have recovered?" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and showed a meaningful smile on his face.

As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Zhu Youqing was injured?

The rugged man and the old man were the first to turn their heads and look at Zhu Youqing behind them.

But seeing Zhu Youqing with his hands behind his back, his face rosy, and his aura as deep as the sea, he didn't look like an injured person.

However, the next moment, Zhu Youqing's words surprised them:

"Thanks to fellow Taoist Jian Xia for mercy, Zhu has adjusted his breathing day and night in the past few days and has now fully recovered!"

Hearing these words, the five Tongxuan realm monks in the courtyard all widened their eyes and looked at each other. All they thought in their minds was: "What City Master Zhu means is that he was really injured, and it was because of the man in front of him." Injured by someone from the Tongxuan realm? Who is this person?!"

Thinking of this, the five of them all took a step back in unison. Even the rugged man who was at the front and wanted to capture Liang Yan retreated to the back of the yard at this moment, as if he would run away immediately if the situation went wrong.

However, Liang Yan did not take action against them, he just smiled slightly, showing a playful look.

"Has he fully recovered? I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case, right?"

Zhu Youqing's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Lu?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to try City Lord Zhu's methods!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yan raised his hand and waved, and a green sword light rushed out. Like a dragon crossing the sea, it instantly passed over the heads of the five people in the courtyard and went straight to Zhu Youqing!

This change was too sudden, and Liang Yan took action without any warning. Although the five people present were all in the middle stage of Tongxuan, by the time they reacted, the sword light had already passed over their heads.

Everyone broke into a cold sweat.

Before they could react, the sword light had already arrived in front of Zhu Youqing. The deputy sect master of Haotian Sect and the city lord of Guangling City had a solemn expression on his face. He stretched out his hands, shot continuously in the air, and a mighty wave The power of pure Yang gathered in front of him and turned into a red crane!

hold head high!

With a roar, the sword light pierced the crane. The green sword energy and the power of pure Yang were intertwined, and a halo spread, knocking away the other five monks in the Tongxuan Realm.

Plop! Plop.

Five loud noises were heard in succession, and the five people all hit the wall of the other courtyard, each of them making a big hole.

However, not a single sound came out here, because before Liang Yan entered the courtyard, he had already laid out soundproofing laws around it.

At this moment, the Crimson Crane and the Mayfly Sword Pill in the courtyard were in a stalemate. The two were fighting fiercely, refusing to give in to each other!

This situation lasted for half a cup of tea. Although on the surface it seemed that no one could do anything, a closer look revealed that Zhu Youqing's complexion had changed somewhat. The rosy complexion that was full of energy before had gradually disappeared. He turned a little pale, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

On the other hand, Liang Yan had a relaxed look on his face from beginning to end, with no fluctuation in his aura, and he seemed not to be affected by the fighting at all.

boom!

There was a crisp sound, and the green sword light and the red pure sun suddenly separated, but Liang Yan made a magic trick and took the initiative to take back the Mayfly Sword Pill.

Seeing Liang Yan withdrawing his magical power, Zhu Youqing's face relaxed, and he quickly absorbed the power of pure Yang, took a breath, and his face became rosy again.

He calmed down and looked at Liang Yan, his face full of surprise.

"Friend Lu, what are you doing?"

"Don't get me wrong, City Lord. Lu has no other intention. He just wants to see how much strength the City Lord has recovered so far." Liang Yan laughed and said with a smile: "Now it seems that after these three days of recovery, I’m afraid City Lord Zhu’s recovered strength is less than 50%, right?”

Zhu Youqing knew that his injuries had been clearly felt by the other party, so he simply stopped hiding it and said, "Lu Dao has a good eye, but I have a question. That day in Luofeng Temple, when everyone worked together to fight Jingyuan, they should all be killed." The demon's evil spirit has invaded the body. It's only been three days now. It seems that my fellow Taoist has fully recovered?"

"Yes, Lu happens to have a secret technique that can restrain Jingyuan's evil spirit. Now I have returned to my full strength. It is not Lu's boast. Even if all the people in your courtyard add up, they are still no match for Lu!"

"Hmph, I believe you have the strength!" Zhu Youqing narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "But if fellow Taoist sneaked into our city lord's mansion at this time, he probably didn't want to bring bad luck to Zhu, right?"

"That's right." Liang Yan smiled and nodded: "Although there are some grievances between you and me, it does not hinder our current cooperation. Now that the second prince has gained power and suppressed your seven northwest sects, if the sixth princess is eliminated by him again, then Haotian Life will not be easy for Zong in the future, right?"

"You want me to help Xuanyuan Lingwei?" Zhu Youqing immediately understood Liang Yan's intention.

"Haha, City Lord Zhu is a sensible person. Now all the masters around Xuanyuan Haoyu have gone out to capture Xuanyuan Lingwei, but they didn't expect that we did the opposite. Now Xuanyuan Haoyu only has the Confucian God General and a The master named 'Luo Shen', if City Master Zhu is willing to help us, he may not have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

"Hmph, you put it lightly!"

Zhu Youqing snorted coldly and said: "If this trip does not succeed, then our Haotian Sect will be charged with 'treason against the city' from now on. Instead of gambling, it is better to stay here honestly and wait for the situation to calm down. At most, It’s just a little bit of pressure, it’s not a big deal!”

Liang Yan had been observing people's words and emotions, but after hearing Zhu Youqing's words, he felt clear in his heart.

This old thief is definitely not as relaxed as he said. Since he said it was a "gamble", it just depends on whether the bet has enough chips.

"Haha, don't worry, Lord Zhu. As long as you agree to help us, after the event is completed, the Sixth Princess promises to make Guangling City a subsidiary city of the Seven Northwest Sects, and the Xuanyuan Army will never interfere again in the future."

"Is this true?"

Before Zhu Youqing could speak, the five people next to him had already spoken out, their faces full of surprise.

"Don't worry, everyone, the Sixth Princess made a promise to me personally before coming here. What Lu just said was absolutely no joke!" Liang Yan said with a serious face.

After hearing this, the five people looked at Zhu Youqing in unison.

"City Lord Zhu, I really can't bear this arrogance, why not just agree to him?" The rugged man spoke first.

The female cultivator Qingli also agreed: "Yes, Xuanyuan Haoyu's little belly will be repaid with vengeance. If the Sixth Princess falls, I'm afraid he will become even more unscrupulous, and our lives will not be easy by then!"

"Our seven northwest sects are following the lead of Haotian Sect. As long as City Master Zhu gives the order, we will definitely mobilize the monks in the city to respond to this operation!"

Seeing that everyone was persuaded, Zhu Youqing frowned, but relaxed the next moment and laughed: "Lu Dao is so friendly and courageous, he actually thought of how to fight back in such a predicament! In this case, So what if Zhu just plays with you?"

"City Lord Zhu is wise, this decision is the most correct!" Liang Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw his agreement, and then continued: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, let's set off now?"

"Of course. However, the patrolling Xuanyuan Army outside is in some trouble. Although their cultivation is not high, they have arranged the Xuanyuan Army's detection array. As long as I go out from here, they will immediately find me." Zhu Youqing said with a frown. .

"Don't worry about this matter. Lu has already expected it." Liang Yan pointed to the Taixu gourd at his waist and said with a smile: "Please forgive me some Taoist friends and take shelter in Lu's cave magic weapon first. Lu has his own way of taking you out."

After Zhu Youqing heard this, he looked at each other and the others, neither of them objected, and nodded lightly.

When Liang Yan saw this, he raised his hand and patted the Taixu gourd on his waist. He swept everyone with a white light and put them into the gourd.

The interior of Taixu Gourd has its own space. Xiao Jiu is the spirit of the cave, the master of this world. After several people entered the space, he followed Liang Yan's instructions and immediately built a huge palace and placed several people in it. , and at the same time, it also isolated their spiritual consciousness, preventing important things such as Li Xiaosong, the Sacred Tree, and the Sword-Raising Valley from being exposed.

After doing all this, Liang Yan raised his hand and pinched a spell, which turned into an inconspicuous gray light again. He repeated his old trick, using the cover of the Tianji Pearl to pass through the wall restriction, and at the same time used his sword energy to destroy the restriction. subtle fluctuations.

From beginning to end, it did not attract the slightest attention from the patrolling monks.

Gray light emerged from the city lord's mansion, walked forward along the street, and rushed into the alley with a "whoosh!" When he came out again, he was already a dark-skinned middle-aged man.

Chunfeng Tea House was near the City Lord's Mansion. Liang Yan appeared, walked through several streets, and soon returned to the tea house.

When he first entered the Jialan Chamber of Commerce, he transformed into the dark-skinned man he is now. Since the clerk at Chunfeng Tea House was responsible for secret contacts, he naturally recognized him at a glance.

As before, a waiter took him to the second floor, entered the private room, and returned to the garden he had just left.

Xuanyuan Lingwei, Tan Youli, and Cao Ying, the shopkeeper of the tea house, were all there.

In the middle of the garden, there was a pale green sacred cow. It had no horns on its head and no hooves under its belly. It only had one thick cow foot growing in the middle of its belly. It looked very strange.

"Rakshasa Demonic Cow!"

Liang Yan narrowed his eyes. When he was in the forbidden area, he had seen the strength of this demonic cow, which was comparable to a monk in the calamity realm who had overcome a difficult situation.

Now the size of this demonic cow has shrunk hundreds of times, and is only the size of an ordinary house, with a huge nose arched upward.

There was also a small magic circle in front of it. Zishan's petite body was sitting cross-legged in the center of the magic circle. At this time, her eyes were slightly closed, and a faint shadow of spiritual roots appeared behind her head.

Suddenly, the Rakshasa demon cow roared upwards, and large thunderballs rolled out around it. The small garden space shook instantly, and the surrounding rockery trees fell down.

"Xiao Wu!"

Xuanyuan Lingwei called out, went up and gently stroked the demon cow's forehead. Under her touch, the demon cow quickly stopped commotion.

"It's done! It has completely memorized Yew's spiritual roots and is ready to go at any time!" Xuanyuan Lingwei's face showed a hint of excitement.

Zishan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also opened his eyes and jumped out of the magic circle, with a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"After so many years, I finally have a chance to avenge my sister," Zishan murmured.

"Don't worry, the second brother will pay for the crimes he has committed over the years!" Xuanyuan Lingwei patted Zi Shan on the shoulder and said firmly.

"Ahem!"

Liang Yan stepped forward and coughed lightly.

"Huh? Brother Lu is back so soon? How is the progress?" Xuanyuan Lingwei asked immediately when she saw Liang Yan.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Liang Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted the Taixu gourd on his waist. He saw a flash of white light, and six figures appeared. The first one was Zhu Youqing, the lord of Guangling City.

"Your Highness, we meet again!"

Zhu Youqing is a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm. When he sees Xuanyuan Lingwei, he doesn't have to bow. At this time, he just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Xuanyuan Lingwei pursed her lips and smiled, bowed to the other party, and said: "Junior Xuanyuan Lingwei, who has met Senior Zhu, has long heard of the name 'Venerable Chiyang', and it is indeed well-deserved!"

As the daughter of Xuanyuan Potian, she acted steadily and well, without the arrogance of Xuanyuan Haoyu. When Zhu Youqing and the other six people saw this, they all nodded slightly.

"That's so polite, princess."

Zhu Youqing said solemnly: "We are here to help you. Your second brother has gone against the grain and used cruel methods. Taking advantage of His Majesty's seclusion for these years, he has suppressed all the major sects and families. Not only that, but now he has to deal with his own. When our compatriots take action, they are simply worse than animals!"

"Yes, our seven sects in the northwest are connected with each other, advancing together and retreating together. Ouyang Zhenru, the great elder of Blazing Wind Valley, is willing to serve His Highness the Sixth Prince!" The rugged man stepped forward and offered his hand to Xuanyuan Lingwei.

"I am Duan Tianxing of the Jade Cauldron Mansion, and I am willing to serve His Highness!"

"The little girl Lin Shishi, the second elder of Baiwuzhai, would like to follow His Highness's lead!"

Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Xuanyuan Lingwei's face also showed a hint of joy.

"Near Guangling City, the seven sects in the northwest are the most powerful. Now six sects are on Ling Wei's side. I think great things will happen!"

"Without further delay, Xuanyuan Haoyu would never have thought that we had already come out. He is probably still sending people to monitor the city lord's palace. If we start now, we will definitely kill him by surprise!" Ouyang Zhenru suggested.

"This is true."

Duan Tianxing, Lin Shishi and others next to them nodded, each took out a talisman, inserted a few magic formulas into it, and then burned it out of thin air.

"We have already summoned all the disciples. When the time comes to contain Xuanyuan Haoyu's Xuanyuan Army outside, we can take advantage of the chaos and attack Huanglong!"

"Okay, counting the time, Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is about to take action, let's do it too." Liang Yan looked at Xuanyuan Lingwei and said in a deep voice.
