Chapter 460 Trial

Xingyu Pavilion is called a sect composed of spiritualists.

But in fact, it is more like a large chamber of commerce.

And historically, Xingyu Pavilion evolved from Xingyu Trading Company.

In its heyday, it had branches in all three levels of the Star Ring.

The business categories cover many aspects, and it is definitely a giant money-making company.

And if the business is big, it must have sufficient strength as a guarantee.

Therefore, Xingyu Pavilion came into being.

At the beginning, it was started by an unknown generation of the trading company owner, who took his own young children as the backbone, and then selected young boys and girls with clean backgrounds, loyalty and reliability, and talent for cultivation from various branches for training, and established a sect organization called Xingyu Pavilion from scratch.

Xingyu Pavilion not only serves as the guardian of the trading company, but also strengthens itself with the huge financial and material resources of the trading company, until it gradually develops into the power center of the entire trading company.

Although it is not as powerful as the big families with divine magicians as their backing, it is at least a first-class spiritualist organization under the big families.

Its tentacles are all over the upper, middle and lower star rings, and it has a huge influence in many places.

Even though it was once in a slump after the great destruction, it has made a comeback with the momentum of the star ring's recovery.

The first thing Xingyu Pavilion targeted was the transportation routes between the middle and upper star rings. After a series of fierce battles, as well as exchanges and compromises with various forces, it finally got the largest share.

As a long-term blood transfusion pump, the spiritual boat route provides a lot of resources for the entire organization, allowing Xingyu Pavilion to develop again like a snowball.

However, in the process of destruction and rebirth, in order to speed up the recovery, several successive pavilion masters recruited a large number of spiritualists from outside to strengthen their strength, including evil monks with bad records and various desperate people.

As a result, the entire Xingyu Pavilion was a mixed bag, with chaos constantly arising from the struggle for power and influence among the big and small hilltops. Sometimes, even the Pavilion Master’s lineage could no longer truly suppress it.

Wei Tao entered the city and moved directly into the Xingyu Pavilion’s branch here.

Yu Dan obviously had a strong say here.

She could even be considered the controller of the entire branch.

Everyone below had to rely on her and act according to her expression.

Therefore, after entering the city, she didn’t need to say much at all. All the life matters were arranged properly, and it was almost impossible to find any faults.

Even Wei Tao was treated specially.

Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or cultivation expenses, it was even more comfortable than when he was at the Yan family.

At night, the sky gradually darkened.

Wei Tao finished a sumptuous dinner and sat in an elegant and exquisite pavilion to drink tea to digest his food.

Yu Dan had not appeared since noon.

It seemed that someone from Xingyu Pavilion had come, and she was going to welcome him.

Wei Tao didn't care about it.

It could even be said that he had no interest at all.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the information in front of him.

It recorded the information of the nine great magicians in detail.

In addition, there was also intelligence collection about the Zhang family.

He sipped slowly and read carefully page by page.

He was unaware of the passage of time.

While reading, his thoughts flew quietly, and he began to study and deduce in combination with his own practice, understanding and perception.

"Zhang Ji said that I am entangled in the three paths of practice of the Void, the True Meaning of the Evil Spirit, and the Immortal True Body, and I will definitely fall into confusion in the future.

Then he also sent his cave heaven domain to me, so it became four paths going forward at the same time, and I don't know if there is any difference in order."

"However, through this period of time of raising seedlings and planting trees, and integrating the three spiritual patterns of Jia Lan, I have benefited a lot, and even had ideas and thoughts that I have never had before."

Wei Tao took a sip of the tea cup and concentrated on looking inward.

As time went by, the connection between the ruins and him became closer and closer.

Perhaps after a while, it will really become his own cave heaven domain as "Zhang Ji" said.

Then, if he attributes all the laws on this basis, what will happen?

The immortal holy spirit body of the void cave heaven?

If several roads can be forcibly repaired into one road, then even if the divine magician "Zhang Ji" did not lie to him from beginning to end, and everything he said was 120% true, wouldn't it be safe and sound, and nothing would happen?

After all, the four roads have been repaired into one, even if he wants to be lost, there is no fork for him to be lost.

But before that, he still needs to plant trees well and stabilize the ruins.

At the same time, he must find a way to strengthen the true spirit and soul and continuously improve his own strength.

After truly finding the foundation of "Zhang Ji", he can conduct a more comprehensive and in-depth study and analysis.

Wei Tao exhaled a breath of turbid air lightly, looked up at the dark clouds that were quietly gathering, and turned the information in his hand to the next page.

At this moment.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound.

The side door of the courtyard was pushed open.

Several figures flashed in silently.

They quickly turned their eyes to the pavilion, and their eyes fell on Wei Tao at the same time.

They looked at each other and immediately surrounded him from different directions.

At this moment, a gust of night wind blew.

It did not bring the coolness that should be there at this time.

Instead, it brought an inexplicable burning and corrosive breath.

Several men in black surrounded him silently.

Then they disappeared without a trace without any sign.

Except for the soft sound of pushing the door open at the beginning, the whole courtyard was quiet from beginning to end, as if they had never been there and nothing happened here.

Suddenly another gust of night wind blew by.

Flick the tea cup and the steam will curl up, changing into various shapes and blending into the night sky.

Wei Tao turned over a page of paper and turned his attention to the biography of the next magician.

He suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at the side door of the courtyard that was pushed open.

"It seems like someone broke in?"

"Could it be that Yutan sent me a criminal?"

After picking up the cold tea and drinking it all in one gulp, Wei Tao frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I emptied the big prison here on the first day I came here. Later, I cleared out all the gangs that were doing shady things, and made all the spiritualists who were disobedient into tree fertilizers. I didn't expect it until I left. In just two days, so many criminals appeared again.”

"It's really interesting. With such a high crime rate, she still has the nerve to tell me that the security here is very good. Even petty thefts are rare."

Uh-huh!

Quietly, there was no one in the pavilion.

Only a faint smell of hot corrosion appeared and disappeared under the dark night, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

Dark red sky, land of ruins.

Wei Tao stepped into the charred ruins.

Looking at the few people who had just fallen into the Cave Heaven Realm not far away, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

The quality of this batch of criminals sent was even higher than the previous ones.

And it's not that high.

At least it's a few floors taller.

Not to mention anything else, just because they were not directly devoured and drained of life, it means that everyone is at least a level of strength above the virtual realm.

"The sky is dark red, the ground is scorched, what kind of place is this!?"

"Look, there seems to be a pit ahead."

"There is a tree in the pit, and there are dead bones beside the tree."

"There's movement over there. It seems like another person is here?"

Several people in black were surprised and confused, and they all turned their heads and looked to one side.

"Spiritualists who have committed sins, the whole world can no longer tolerate you."

"Only with me can you get true salvation."

"This little tree in urgent need of nourishment is your final destination!"

A low roar shook the void.

boom! ! !

Suddenly the strong wind roared and thunder exploded.

A figure expanded rapidly.

The body is covered with blue and black double scales, with sharp bone spurs protruding.

Surrounded by two wings and three tails, he swung up his body covered with black scales and bone spurs, like the arm of a siege hammer, and smashed it down like a mountain bearing down on top.

The battle started unexpectedly.

And it came to an end after an instant.

Several spiritualists were lying on the ground in a mess, each of them suffering from irreparable serious injuries.

They are not dead yet, but they are only one step away from death.

And with the rapid passage of life, they will soon take this step.

Until you cross the door between life and death, and then slam it shut, leaving yourself no hope of living.

"You, what exactly are you..."

The leader among the few was the strongest and was still conscious at this time and did not fall into a coma like the others.

He looked up and asked with difficulty.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

"The important thing is that you are guilty and you need to be judged righteously."

Wei Tao had no expression on his face and looked down, "And I will be your judge."

"You, the judge?"

"What kind of righteous judge do you think you are?"

Blood gushed out from the man in black, and his eyes were scarlet.

"Sure enough, the weapon of criticism is too weak and can never replace the criticism of the weapon."

Wei Tao watched the sacred tree sapling grow new buds, and when he spoke again, his tone suddenly became calm.

"Just like you, even if you have done something wrong, you will not admit it. At this time, you must use my fist of justice to break the disguise you have wrapped yourself in, so that justice and peace can be fully upheld."

"That's complete nonsense!"

The man in black gritted his teeth and said word by word, "We are subordinates of Inspector Nian of Xingyu Pavilion. You are just a pretty boy raised by that bitch in Yudan. Who are you to judge us?"

"oh?"

"Are you actually from Xingyu Pavilion too?"

"So, I misunderstood you?"

Wei Tao couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this, but then he shook his head, "No, if I say you are guilty, you are definitely guilty. As long as you are a person who has been tried by me, there is no room for misunderstanding."

"What's more, no matter who you are, it is a serious crime to break into a private house late at night. Even if the so-called patrol officer you say comes, it will not delay me from beating the person half to death and making tree fertilizer."

Bang!

Suddenly a muffled sound spread.

The expression of the man in black was full of fear, and his eyes were desperate and helpless.

He stared fixedly at the man in front of him. He was completely unable to move under the huge pressure, let alone perform effective defensive dodge.

In the end, I could only watch helplessly as a fist fell slowly and quickly, smashing everything into the endless abyss of darkness.

"How dare you threaten me? I don't know how to write the word "death".

"If I say one more thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore. I'm going to find the inspector immediately and convict him of lax discipline and allowing his subordinates to commit crimes in the dark!"

Uh-huh!

A breeze blew.

The land of ruins became quiet again.

There were just a few more mummies at the bottom of the pit.

The seedlings of the sacred tree seem to have grown taller, and through the increasingly vigorous branches and leaves, more spiritual energy has begun to spread outward.

In the pavilion of the small courtyard, a figure appeared silently.

Wei Tao sat back on the armchair and picked up the pile of materials that he had not yet read.

At this moment, there was another soft squeaking sound.

Yudan hurried in from outside.

Her breath was a little disordered, and there were beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, which shone brightly under the light.

"What's wrong with you? You look so anxious."

Wei Tao put down the information in his hand and slowly sat upright.

"It's all the slave's fault that sir was disturbed."

Yudan took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice, "Today the inspector came to the city. I thought she was just passing by and she only needed to be treated well to deal with her.

Unexpectedly, she came prepared. Because of an issue of uneven distribution of business not long ago, she even directly spoke out at the reception dinner regardless of the consequences, almost catching the slave by surprise. "

"Not much happened here, except for a few little mice that sneaked in and were sent to me to make tree fertilizer."

Wei Tao nodded and said casually, "What do you mean, then why is the inspector here and has a lot of grudges against you?"

"Sir, I don't have any grudges between Inspector Nian and I. We didn't even speak much before.

However, she is the servant of Deputy Pavilion Master Yu, while the slave is the disciple of Deputy Pavilion Master Zhuang. This is the biggest problem between the slave and her. "

Yutan thought and spoke slowly.

“Although there were some entanglements and conflicts in interests between the two parties, they were generally able to maintain a decent reputation, let alone face each other directly on the other side’s territory.

It's just that since the Pavilion Master returned from the lower star ring, he has been in seclusion to heal his injuries due to physical reasons, and has an indifferent attitude towards many things. This immediately caused a lot of turmoil and the struggle between different factions in the Xingyu Pavilion. ………”

Wei Tao listened silently for a moment and then directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Where is the patrol envoy? Where is he now?"

"There are also other spiritual masters brought by the Nian Patrol Envoy. Where are they now?"

Yutan carefully replied, "What do you mean, sir?"

"I don't mean anything. I just heard what you said and thought something big had happened. But in the end, you didn't even start a fight. What's the point of breaking up?"

Wei Tao raised his head and glanced at her, and slowly stood up from the wooden chair as he spoke, "Take me to find them now, let me judge these people, and by the way, let you see, what does it mean to truly break one's face? It is also called justice that cannot be tarnished and truth that cannot be doubted.”

"Sir's lesson is correct."

"This is also the reason why this slave came to report to Sir."

Yudan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, a trace of flush appearing on his fair face.

When she spoke again, her voice sounded a little distorted, perhaps because of the suppressed anger or the long-suppressed murderous intention.

"Just now, my slave has been swallowing his anger at the banquet and did not burst out immediately. In fact, he was worried that after being strengthened by sir, he would not be able to control his power once he took action, and would kill all those people accidentally.

This may delay the husband's affairs and prevent them from receiving the justice they deserve and the subsequent punishment and lessons they deserve. "

………………

……………………

Branch Ballroom.

The room was brightly lit both inside and outside.

But under the warm and bright light, the atmosphere seemed a bit cold and condensed.

Time passed little by little.

No one at the table spoke.

No one drank or ate.

Even if those carefully prepared dishes are allowed to cool completely, they will still look the same as when they were just brought to the table.

After a long time, a cold female voice sounded, finally breaking the silence in the banquet hall.

"Master Yu has been out for a while, why haven't you come back yet?"

"Could it be that Yudan knew she was in the wrong and just wanted to shrink her head and ignore it?"

"The key is that besides the distribution of the last spoils, I have other things to ask her, and I hope to get a reasonable answer as soon as possible.

For example, how did Feng Yin die, and what virtues and abilities did the man she brought back have to occupy the cultivation resources of our Xingyu Pavilion branch? Can you subordinates give me an explanation? "

The speaker was a graceful and beautiful woman.

With a smile on her face, she looked around, her eyes falling on the branch Xingyu Pavilion disciples, as if waiting for their reply.

"Recall the words of the inspector."

After a while, an old man sitting at the bottom stood up and said in a respectful tone, "The leader of the club should be..."

"Can you answer my question?"

"If you can't answer, you just speak without permission. Do you have any opinion on me as the inspector?"

The old man lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him.

They had known in their hearts that the other party was looking for trouble, but now that the leader of the Rain Tribe was not here, they simply did not have the courage and confidence to confront him.

However, even if the leader of the tribe is still here, given the level of strength of the Inspector Nian...

The old man felt extremely conflicted when he thought of this.

They want the leader of the Rain Division to come back and take charge of the overall situation, but they don't want her to appear here, lest if a fight really breaks out, their branch will be without a leader in an instant, and may even fall apart.

"The person named Nian brought a few fewer people. Could it be that he went to look for the young man next to the leader of the Yu tribe?"

When he thought of this, he suddenly panicked.

I opened my mouth to speak several times, but I didn't know what to say, and I was afraid that the wrong word would make the other party even more angry.

For a while, I could neither stand nor sit. It was like a ray of light on my back, and my days were like years.

got windy.

The lights outside the hall flickered on and off.

The branches swayed like ghostly shadows.

There is also increasingly dense moisture, mixed with the wind.

I don’t know since when, dark clouds gathered in the sky, covering the stars and the moon.

The continuous drizzle fell quietly, quickly lowering the already slightly cool temperature.

"Watching the rain with the lamp on is quite a different mood."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll just sit here and wait and see how long you, the leader of the Yudan tribe, can hide."

With a smile on his face, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

But the next moment, she stopped without any warning.

A gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the half-opened hall door.

Boom!

Without any warning, the ground moved slightly.

The vibration was so loud that the dishes on the table were buzzing.

Thinking of the inspection, he narrowed his eyes and his pupils shrank slightly.

She subconsciously retracted her gaze and glanced at the seat next to her.

At this moment, there was a sudden squeaking sound.

The door of the banquet room was pushed open.

The rain went away and came back again, stepping in again.

She looked around and said slowly, "Mr. Qu, please take a few of them out first. You have nothing to do here."

The old man who just spoke hesitated and said, "Master, we..."

"I'll let you go out first."

Yudan's tone turned cold, "Or are you saying that my words are no longer effective in the Xingyu Pavilion Lingyuan City branch?"

The old man did not dare to say anything and immediately called the spiritual masters from the Lingyuan branch to leave.

Several people left the banquet room and came to the courtyard outside.

But what they saw was a man in a white gown, standing with his hands behind his back in the cold rain. At first glance, he looked like a motionless human sculpture.

"Your Mightiness……"

Mr. Qu opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Because he suddenly realized that this man was a little strange.

He was clearly standing here, but he seemed to be somewhere else.

The whole person seems to exist, but also seems not to exist.

What's even more strange is that his whole body is filled with hot and corrosive aura, but it's like a new bud, filled with infinite possibilities of vitality.

It gives people an indescribably weird feeling.

"Is it Mr. Qu? I heard Yudan mention your name before. She also said that you are serious, responsible and loyal. You have won her expectations and respect."

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the figure that seemed real and imaginary, but also seemed neither real nor imaginary, which inexplicably made people's emotions quiet and peaceful.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, he continued, "You guys stay nearby and don't let other unrelated people come near here. The rain department is mainly discussing some things with Nian Patrol, and we don't want anyone to come and disturb us."

"Yes, please don't worry, I'll go down and make arrangements right now."

Mr. Qu unconsciously bowed deeply and left quickly with a few people, not daring to turn around and take another look from beginning to end.

Wei Tao moved his fingers, and a few more chalcedony appeared in his palm.

The spiritual threads meandered around and began to absorb the spiritual power.

After a while, the first batch of chalcedony turned into ashes and dispersed.

The second batch came to his palm.

Wei Tao was just about to absorb it, but he stopped without any warning.

Right now.

Suddenly a thunder exploded.

The bright light broke through the rain curtain and illuminated the dark void.

Immediately afterwards, the roof and walls of the banquet hall collapsed instantly.

There was also a figure flying out from it.

After falling, he staggered, leaving large dense cracks on the ground.

Wei Tao frowned slightly and turned to look.

He also didn't expect that the person flying out was actually Yudan.

Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her lips. It was obvious that she had suffered a heavy loss in the duel just now.

Although Yutan was originally just a virtual realm spiritualist, after his personal strengthening, his strength level increased several times compared to before.

It turned out that it was not the one enemy who wanted to patrol.

Wei Tao suddenly became interested when he thought of this.

He gathered all his thoughts and focused his attention towards the depths of the smoke.

Wow!

Two figures pushed aside the fallen beams, walked out of the ruined banquet hall, and entered the courtyard shrouded in wind and rain.

"If you hadn't traveled together this time and helped me at the critical moment, I might have lost my life in the collision just now."

"I didn't expect that Yudan was just a disciple of Deputy Pavilion Master Zhuang. Before, she was just a spiritual master in the virtual realm. Now she would become so powerful. The spiritual skills she performed were unheard of and were beyond me. scope of response.”

The patrol officer took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. With a frightened expression on his face, he bowed to the man in black next to him.

"She didn't use your spiritual arts, at least not entirely your spiritual arts, and she shouldn't be the weak woman she is now."

The man in black seemed unwilling to say anything, so he just said one sentence and then closed his mouth.

He squinted his eyes slightly and observed the perception carefully.

A pair of eyes suddenly became as bright as stars.

His gaze fell on the figure standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back through the thick smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed.

In an instant, his expression became confused, mixed with a hint of solemnity, and was no longer the cold and reserved before.

The night wind howled and cold rain fell.

The smoke quickly dissipated, revealing the night scene.

In front of the ruins of the banquet hall, the drizzle quietly turned into mist, changing into various images, covering the man in black standing among them.

And near the courtyard door, there stood a looming figure that seemed to be there, but also seemed not to be here.

The two looked at each other in the air, both silent.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly a faint sigh sounded.

It broke the dull silence for a long time.

The voice of the man in black penetrated the mist and flowed quietly in the courtyard, "You are here, and you are in another place, connecting a ruined cave. I did not expect that I can see the magical power of the void here."

Wei Tao lowered his eyes with a gentle smile on his face, "Your appearance also surprised me. It seems that the upper star ring does have a deeper foundation. Just an inspector of Xingyu Pavilion has such a level of strength.

More importantly, you are also a void walker, which piqued my interest even more, and I made up my mind to keep you here. "

"Want to keep me here?"

The man in black sighed lowly, "Based on the ability you have shown, you are no match for me at all. I'm afraid you can only think about it."

His voice was indifferent and distant, erratic in the dark night and rainy night, but it reached everyone's ears clearly at the same time.

Wei Tao suddenly raised his head, and his whole body was suddenly surrounded by bloody light.

There are also illusory red lotuses blooming, and ten ghost cars flying up and down.

He held his breath and concentrated, breaking through the illusion and feeling deeply.

After an instant, he turned around without any warning, looked away from the mist, and looked into the darkness on one side.

"That was such a loud tone just now."

"In the end, the golden cicada escaped from its shell and secretly escaped under my nose!?"

"I want to see if you can run away!"

boom! ! !

Suddenly there was a strong wind and the rain rolled back.

The ground rises and falls like waves.

There were also thunders that suddenly exploded.

A figure roared away at this moment.

Its speed was so fast and its momentum so majestic that it penetrated the dark rain curtain into a straight and huge cavity, and it did not even disappear for a long time.

Nian Xingyi was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

What happened just now made her feel so confused that she even thought she was dreaming.

That lord, such a powerful person.

In her mind, she could even compete with the Deputy Pavilion Master and run away even if she lost. The fact that he ran away without even a fight was completely beyond her expectation.

What's even scarier is the guy in the white robe.

With that majestic momentum of howling away, if she happened to be in front of him, she might not be directly hit to death by him.

The patrol commander bit his lower lip and looked around for an escape route.

At this moment, a low and depressed female voice suddenly sounded.

It was as if he had accumulated a lot of anger, and he didn't know when it would burst out and be released.

Yudan approached step by step, and his body continued to expand and rise.

The fine scales shone with a faint light.

His shoulders held up two sharp points like spears.

There are also wings spread out on its back and a long tail trailing behind it, showing a ferocious and terrifying appearance.

"you you……"

Thinking about patrolling, his face was dull and he muttered to himself.

"You made me lose a lot of face in front of my husband."

Yudan's voice was low, like a demon roaring, "But I still won't beat you to death. I will only beat you half to death, then strip you naked and send you to the sir, so that you can accept justice!"
