Chapter 286: The Wrath of the Martial Saint
"Who are you anyway?"
Li Long's eyes flashed with aura, trying to see through the Taoist's true form.
Daqian has been a country for fifteen hundred years. In the eyes of ordinary people, it has been passed down for a long time. However, in the eyes of immortals and Buddhas, it is nothing more than that.
The Taoist in front of him looks young, but his real age may be that he is an immortal whose life span is longer than that of his country.
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Zhou Yikou preached the Taoist name, and the black and yellow divine light covered his aura, and said: "I am a poor Taoist who lives in the mountains and wilds. He lives in seclusion in Luojing on weekdays. The more I hear and see, the more I know."
Li Long asked back: "Fellow Taoist, do you think I will believe in a clone that hides its head and reveals its tail?"
"Believe it or not, how about you listen to it, fellow Taoist?"
Zhou Yi didn't dare to come forward in person. The warrior barbarian's brain circuit was different from that of the immortal Buddha, and he would take action without warning.
"Then let's hear what secrets Taoist friend knows."
Li Long's senses are so sensitive. When he heard the three names of Holy Mother, Xianlian and Jingtai, he already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.
Emperor Jingtai was the emperor appointed by Li Long. When he was not injured, he traveled to the sixteen states of Li Daqian and saw that the governments in various places were harmonious and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He was full of praise for Emperor Jingtai's ability to govern the country.
Similar to Emperor Guangming!
The source of this sentence comes from Li Long, the son of Emperor Guangming.
"Emperor Jingtai teamed up with the Holy Mother of White Lotus and the Witch God to set up a trap and make fellow Taoist seriously injured and dying. The purpose is to imprison fellow Taoist so that he can let go of his hands and feet to cause trouble and ripen the Nine Nether Fairy Lotus. The fairy lotus matured some time ago. !”
Zhou Yi does not need to explain it from the beginning, he only needs to point out the key point, and Li Long will sort out and find out the rest.
"impossible!"
Li Long's voice was cold: "Jingtai's martial arts realm is one step away from being a martial saint. If the immortal lotus matures, he would have become a saint by now!"
Zhou Yi shrugged and said: "Maybe God can't bear to see it, and the fairy lotus seeds were stolen after they matured..."
boom!
There was a loud noise, the void twisted, and Li Long reached out to grab it.
The skinny five fingers struck the black and yellow divine light and trembled continuously.
"You really are a barbarian!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, and hundreds of thousands of lightning techniques blasted past.
Each thunderbolt landed on the weak spot of the restriction, almost interrupting the formation's operation.
"Cough cough cough!"
Li Long coughed violently and apologized: "I made a mistake, fellow Taoist, don't blame me."
As he spoke, he kept looking at the black and yellow divine light, secretly guessing what kind of treasure it was that could block the attack of the Martial Saint.
"Fellow Taoist, you wouldn't think that it was a poor Taoist who stole the fairy lotus seeds, right?"
Zhou Yi put away his Five Thunder Magical Powers and didn't care about Li Long's sneak attack. He would still test it.
There are countless magical powers and secrets in the world, and there is no guarantee that someone can change the breath of immortals and Buddhas. Only those who have tried it violently are qualified to continue talking.
"Is not it?"
Li Long believed that he had telepathy and that the Taoist in front of him was closely related to the theft of the fairy lotus.
"Pindao did take a few glances, but unfortunately the underground formation is too mysterious, and he can't tell when the immortal lotus will mature."
Zhou Yi looked regretful: "Just a few days ago, I had a battle with an enemy, and when I came back, I saw that the fairy lotus seeds had disappeared."
"snort!"
Li Long thought to himself, what the Taoist said in front of him was somewhat true or false.
This Taoist possesses supreme hidden magical powers and an invincible Martial Saint sense, but he can only make vague judgments.
Zhou Yi added another dose of surprise: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to know who stole the fairy lotus seeds?"
The Nine Nether Immortal Lotus is the foundation of Daqian's country. The continuous bad news made Li Long uneasy and couldn't help but ask.
"who?"
"Descendants of Taizu!"
When Zhou Yi spoke, carefully observe Li Long's reaction.
The person in the coffin under the Demon Refining Cave is most likely Li Hong, Taizu of Daqian. As for whether he is alive or dead, it is hard to say.
"Taizu..."
Li Long sighed and said without continuing to ask.
"Fellow Taoist told me about this, didn't you just come here to see a joke?"
"Of course not. Pindao admires fellow Taoist very much."
Zhou Yi said: "This time I come to make a deal with fellow Taoist!"
Li Long: "What do you want?"
"Jingtai!"
Zhou Yi took out the life-extending elixir that Cang Suyuan deceived and said, "This elixir can extend the life of immortals and Buddhas for fifty years. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
"Jingtai is the monarch of Daqian, the grandson of the old age, the face of the royal family..."
Li Long paused and continued: "One piece is not enough, you have to double it!"
There is resistance to taking the life-extending elixir. The second pill is far less effective than the first pill, but it can still add another twenty or thirty years to one's life.
"There is only one life-extending elixir."
Zhou Yi took out another treasure, three feet in size, with clear eyebrows and all four limbs. It was a fat white doll made of lotus roots.
"This is the immortal lotus root spiritual body. It can be used to seize the body, and can also be transformed into a clone. It can be directly transformed into the body of fellow Taoist as elixir, and most of the injuries can be healed!"
The Immortal Lotus Root Spiritual Body was a large treasure at Cang Suyuan's auction. In order to appease the anger of Qiongqi Demon God, the Immortal Immortal asked him to bid for it at will, and then fell into Zhou Yi's hands.
At the fair held once in a century, the life-extending elixir was replaced with a fake fairy material, and the great treasure was given away to Qiongqi for free. I wonder if the longevity guy secretly wiped away his tears.
"Changed!"
Li Long agreed simply and neatly.
Even if Zhou Yi doesn't take out the Immortal Lotus Spirit Body and delays it for a few days, Li Long will eventually agree.
After all, throw away the rags anyway, why not sell them in exchange for some treasures? As for the dignity of the royal family, how can you throw away things that you don’t have in the first place?
"Fellow Taoist still needs to evade for a while, and I still need to investigate!"
Li Long still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Emperor Jingtai had been a good emperor in front of Li Long all his life. It was impossible for him to completely deny everything just because of Zhou Yi's words.
Even if it was true, Li Long would ask why Emperor Jingtai had come to this point.
"I will wait for good news."
Zhou Yi turned into a light and disappeared.
Li Long was about to summon the Dragon Guardian to ask, but he saw the light return and fall into the hall.
"Why did you go and come back?"
"I have something to ask you!"
Zhou Yi said slowly: "I have heard of the power of the Martial Saint for a long time, and I can fight against demons and gods. When you are ready, I would like to ask you a few questions!"
"Even if you don't ask me, I will come to visit you!"
Li Long had no good feelings for Zhou Yi. First, he was thinking about the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus, and second, he knew too much.
"Very good!"
Zhou Yi's figure flashed and disappeared.
Li Long carefully sensed and confirmed that Zhou Yi had left, and sent a message to the elders of the Dragon Guardian.
"Zhen'er, come in and talk!"
After a moment,
The white-haired Taoist pushed the door open, looking anxious, and bowed to ask.
"Sixth uncle, has that senior left?"
The Taoist is Li Zhen, the current leader of the Dragon Guard, the grandson of Emperor Guangming, and Li Long's nephew.
"Yes."
Li Long said: "Zhen'er, how has Jingtai governed the country in recent years?"
Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, appoints talented people, and works hard to make the country prosperous. Sixth uncle has a keen eye for a wise ruler, and it will surely become a good story in national history."
If it were before, these words would surely make Li Long smile, but now it sounds extremely harsh.
"Zhen'er, you are my nephew!"
Li Long said slowly: "You must tell the truth about Jingtai!"
Li Zhen felt the pressure like a mountain, and almost knelt on the ground with his legs weak, holding back the fear and gritting his teeth.
"What my nephew said is absolutely true, I dare not deceive Sixth Uncle!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Li Long coughed violently a few times in anger, waved his hand to grab Li Zhen's head, and smashed it with a bang.
Blood was dripping, red and white splashed everywhere.
A Yang Shen drilled out of the body, his face was full of confusion, and then the terrifying true energy swept through the Yang Shen inch by inch, forcibly reading Li Zhen's memory.
Soul search!
Li Long saw the memories one by one, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he crushed the Yang Shen into pieces with his palm.
"Good, good, good! They are all my good nephews and good grandsons!"
...
Wanshou Palace.
Green smoke curled.
Emperor Jingtai sensed the power of the True Immortal, and his mind repeatedly warned him.
The undisguised malice oppressed Emperor Jingtai almost mad, but every time he wanted to leave the palace, a life-and-death crisis would come.
"Who is it?"
"I have never had an enemy with the True Immortal, so rampant, aren't you afraid of the ancestor..."
Suddenly.
A roar exploded in my ears.
"Jingtai, come to see me immediately!"
Emperor Jingtai was very familiar with this voice, it was the Martial Saint Ancestor Li Long.
"Could it be..."
Emperor Jingtai's face darkened, and he looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, not understanding why the immortals were interfering in the private affairs of the royal family.
The entire Dagan belongs to the Li family, and no matter how they mess around, it is their own business.
"My dear companion."
As soon as Emperor Jingtai finished speaking, Eunuch Chu appeared behind him.
"When I die, remember to set a fire in Wenyuan Pavilion!"
"Your Majesty..."
Eunuch Chu wanted to say something, but Emperor Jingtai had disappeared.
Arrived outside the Fulong Hall.
Emperor Jingtai straightened his clothes, and went in without greeting.
In the outer hall, several elders of the Dragon Guarding Division knelt and dared not look up. On the threshold of the inner hall, a headless corpse lay.
Emperor Jingtai looked up at Li Long and said sarcastically, "As expected of you, you are really cruel and ruthless. You killed your own nephew just because he said so!"
"Have I ever been bad to you?"
Li Long said in a deep voice, "How many people in the world can learn martial arts from the Martial Saint when they are born? You were also appointed as the successor to the throne. Later, when I heard that you wanted to collect taxes from the gods, I was so shameless that I attacked the Buddhist and Taoist juniors!"
"The ancestor treats the grandson well!"
Emperor Jingtai said, "However, the grandson asked the ancestor several times whether he could ripen the fairy lotus a few decades earlier. Why was he rejected repeatedly?"
"The fairy lotus ripens once every three hundred years. That is the rule set by my father. No one can break it!"
Li Long said: "Although you have no chance, one of your sons and grandsons will surely be promoted to Martial Saint. Why bother fighting with them?"
"Sons and grandsons? What does that have to do with me?"
Emperor Jingtai said: "I have been diligently governing the country for decades. My achievements are not comparable to those of Taizu and Zhongzong. No one else can compare with me. Just because I was born a few decades earlier, I have no chance to be immortal? Of course I don't accept it!"
Li Long said angrily: "Just because you don't accept it, you want to murder your ancestors?"
Emperor Jingtai sneered: "Those who block my path are all enemies. Even fathers, sons and brothers kill each other, let alone ancestors!"
"Evil creature!"
Li Long waved his hand and slapped Emperor Jingtai, knocking him flying backwards.
"Cough cough!"
Emperor Jingtai got up from the ground, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and said: "Why should the old ancestor be angry? This is what I learned from you!"
"Nonsense!"
Li Long flicked his finger, and his true energy shattered Emperor Jingtai's internal organs.
If it wasn't for the need to exchange for the immortal elixir of longevity and the immortal lotus root spirit body, with Li Long's murderous nature, he would have slapped Emperor Jingtai to death.
"Grandfather, have you forgotten that you are the sixth son of Emperor Zhongzong!"
Emperor Jingtai struggled to stand up, wiped the blood on his dragon robe, and said: "The eldest prince was indeed useless back then, but the second son of Emperor Zhongzong was gifted in martial arts, and the fifth son was born with a Taoist body..."
"Why was it you who was certified as a martial saint in the end?"
"You..."
Li Long's face turned pale, his blood and qi were reversed, and he vomited blood.
"Since the ancestor has forgotten, the grandson will remind him."
Emperor Jingtai pressed on, saying, "The eldest prince fell off his horse and died, the second son of Emperor Zhongzong became possessed by the devil while practicing martial arts, and the fifth son died of demons while traveling. They all died prematurely."
"The third and fourth sons are smart people. They asked to be enfeoffed early to save their lives!"
"You are the only prince in the palace. When Emperor Zhongzong wanted to pass the throne to you, you refused and gave it to the grandson of the emperor."
"The grandson is very curious. Will the ancestor regret it?"
Emperor Jingtai was so close that Li Long wanted to slap him to death, but he couldn't do it.
"Ahem! For the immortal lotus seeds, I killed my eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother. Now their descendants are also seeking revenge for the immortal lotus seeds. Karma is beyond words..."
Li Long's brother's figure flashed before his eyes. He looked respectful and waved his hand, saying, "Go away. I won't kill you!"
Emperor Jingtai's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. The Heart Demon Sect's Soul Chaos Secret Technique was indeed effective. As long as he could save his life today, he would go back and swallow the immortal lotus whole.
The immortal lotus seeds can help people break through the realm. The whole immortal lotus may have the same effect. As for the demonic energy contained in it, Emperor Jingtai can no longer care so much.
It's better to be a demon than to die!
This was Emperor Jingtai's last plan. He was originally going to use this technique again after the northern expedition to the Demon Kingdom failed.
Just as Emperor Jingtai was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Daoyou, are you still going to sell Jingtai?"
Zhou Yi held the Soul-Falling Bell, blocked Emperor Jingtai's way, and knocked it gently.
Buzz!
The sound of the bell went straight into his soul, and Li Long immediately broke free from his inner demon.
"Hmm?"
Li Long recalled the previous scene, frowned, and said coldly: "Well, well, well! You are worthy of being the emperor chosen by this old man. I was careless for a moment and let you fool me!"
"Damn it!"
Emperor Jingtai cursed angrily, and his true energy circulated, and the figure of the emperor appeared behind him.
"Roar!"
With a long roar, two beams of light broke through the Fulong Hall and fled to the north and south respectively.
Zhou Yi was about to chase, but he heard Li Long say.
"Daoyou, don't want to see the power of the Martial Saint, so use Jingtai to demonstrate!"
Li Long stood up from the formation restriction, and his originally dry and thin figure swelled as if inflated, changing from a dying old man to a burly middle-aged man.
One step into the air.
The void was full of cracks, and Li Long used the force to chase to the south.
In a flash, Emperor Jingtai had already escaped from the capital, and subconsciously turned back when he heard the roar behind him.
Li Long had already chased him to within three meters, and Emperor Jingtai was so scared that he shouted.
"Grandfather, spare my life!"
"Hehe, stop pretending, I know this is the true meaning of martial arts!"
Li Long grabbed "Jingtai" and gently squeezed it, shattering it into a cloud of true energy.
Then he flew back to the north, and in just a few breaths, he caught up with the fleeing Emperor Jingtai's real body.
"Grandfather..."
"Shut up!"
Li Long roared, the void trembled, and directly shattered Emperor Jingtai's seven orifices.
Carrying Emperor Jingtai back to Fulong Hall, he casually threw it in front of Zhou Yi, and Li Long's breath quickly weakened, turning into a skinny old man again.
"Awesome! Awesome!"
Zhou Yi clapped his hands and praised. It was not difficult to catch Emperor Jingtai back. Li Long's strength to shatter the void with just a wave of his hands and feet was really terrifying.
