Chapter 577: Retreat to Advance

Pah!

In the eyes of Zhang Yuquan and many sailors, the swordsman, who was the best in momentum and grace, was beaten to a broken head and turned into a pulp. The boat was broken into pieces and floated on the sea.

At this time, they saw a Taoist in a black robe standing in the air.

He wore a mask of "Yuanshi Tianzun", majestic and solemn, two feet tall, and his whole body seemed to be interwoven with legal principles, giving people the feeling of reaching the sky and touching the sea.

It seemed to fill the void, the beginning of everything, dominating the heavens, plus the wind of the sea was calm, and the lightning flashed in the fog. In the hearts of Zhang Yuquan and the sailors, it was really like a god and Buddha, a real immortal, leaving an indelible impression on them.

Eh... Meng Qi secretly exclaimed, without time to think about it, still following the law of heaven and earth, facing the empty space, and clenched his right fist and swung it out, with clear joints, white and powerful.

The one hidden in the mist seemed to see a huge jade ruyi coming at him. "It" was surrounded by sacred and solemn golden light spots, interweaving black and white moral rays of light. It did not arouse any strange phenomena in the world. The waves were the same, the fog was the same, and the lightning and thunder were the same.

The only strange thing was that all the thunder and fog retreated and took the initiative to make way for this huge fist like jade ruyi!

The invisible and gloomy strong man in the scene thought of the miserable appearance of the swordsman just now, and was afraid that he would also end up with his brain bursting out and his body turning into mud. He did not dare to take it hard, and formed a seal with his five fingers on both sides and slowly pushed it out.

With this push, his whole person seemed to be completely integrated with the mist and fled away in an instant.

Just when he was proud of his own escape method, a huge sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart, and the "jade ruyi" in his sense was still hitting him impartially.

How could this happen?

Only then did he realize that the nearby void was flowing in black and white, and morality was intertwined, forming a constantly flowing Tai Chi. His escape just now was just spinning in place!

And the golden light spots merged into the mist, making the surroundings sacred and hard, and it would take a long time to break!

What kind of moves and magic skills are these?

He was about to explode, but suddenly felt a softness all over his body, as if he had met a natural enemy, a nemesis, and it was difficult to resist, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

The jade-like fist fell, penetrated his secret treasure light shield that was released in response, and hit his forehead.

Pah!

His forehead cracked, and his brains flowed out, but he did not turn into meat paste like the swordsman just now, but kept his body intact, as if such a terrible punch could only destroy his head.

At this moment, the swordsman's blood mud suddenly condensed, as if a vortex appeared in the center, and it disappeared in a short moment, leaving only a strange thing. It had a slender body, like a tree trunk, covered with long whiskers, and thin hands and feet on both sides. It dived directly into the sea and escaped by water, making Meng Qi's lock one step late.

When Meng Qi noticed this monster, the strong man who controlled the strange ghost also appeared in a similar scene. The difference was that what was left of his body was a fist-sized red ball, like a stone or a fruit, with some colorful patterns on it, like eyes and a mouth.

Plop, the red ball also fell into the sea, so Meng Qi could only grab a pile of sea water.

Strange? What are these things? Meng Qi encountered such things for the first time, and he was unprepared. It was inevitable that they took advantage of him and took the opportunity to escape.

This was not the only thing that puzzled him. Whether it was the swordsman with outstanding momentum or the invisible manipulator of the Yin spirit, their strength was definitely not comparable to Zhang Yuquan, who had just entered the outer scene. At least they were close to the first level of the ladder, their realm was higher than his, and their combat power was not bad.

Therefore, when he attacked, Meng Qi did not expect to succeed in one move. Even if he directly used "Law of Heaven and Earth" in order to establish his prestige and cooperated with the "Heaven and Earth Reversal" of the Heaven-Flipping Seal, he thought that the swordsman could block it despite being injured. The killer move was the subsequent Dharmakaya-level "Three Treasures Ruyi Fist".

Who knew that the swordsman was directly crushed by the power and could not bear it, and the later invisible man also had less resistance when facing the "Three Treasures Ruyi Fist". Both of them seemed to have not exerted their true strength.

"Is it because my momentum completely suppressed him, his mind lost, or was he scared by the identity of 'Yuanshi Tianzun'?" Meng Qi guessed and turned around, took a step towards the ship, and his body gradually shrank and returned to the state of a normal person.

But in the eyes of the sailors and Zhang Yuquan, he was completely different from his previous image. He was not the so-called immortal of the mysterious sect of Biyou Palace, but a real immortal who could hold up the sky. Even if he was of ordinary stature, he was tall and majestic!

He was indeed a strong man with the title of one of the Three Pure Ones!

Wearing a mask, Meng Qi walked back to the cabin slowly without showing any emotion, leaving only one sentence:

"Bring the sword of the swordsman. I want to check it and find clues."

The items on the white-clothed swordsman and the invisible man were swept away by the two strange things, leaving only a sword. He was currently "Yuanshi Tianzun", a majestic and transcendent immortal. How could he take it himself?

"Yes, Tianzun." Zhang Yuquan replied respectfully. He had also seen the strange appearance of the two foreign strongmen after their death before, and he was more confused about the Qiaozhou incident. What happened there? What kind of monster was it just now?

Meng Qi thought about it and added:

"Don't lose it."

After that, he walked into the cabin majestically and steadily.

…………

In that secret room, two green lamps were placed where the candles were placed, burning with red flames as small as beans. They kept jumping and were full of vitality.

This was a simple soul lamp that could only last for a period of time.

"Calculating the time, it's time for them to take action. If the soul lamp does not change, it means that the matter has been completed successfully." The high-pitched voice sounded.

A low voice said: "We all understand, you don't need to explain."

"The previous two times were very similar to the present one, except that there was an extra Immortal from Biyou Palace." A voice like a broken gong said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew by.

Phew, the two soul lamps were extinguished at the same time, and the room was completely dark!

"this……"

"How can it be!"

"They all died? Almost at the same time?"

The voices blurted out one after another, and everyone was a little unable to accept this fact, and the secret room became noisy and chaotic.

After a long time, they fell silent again.

After waiting for another moment, an old voice said slowly: "They were able to briefly display the strength of the fourth heaven, which was enough to deal with most of the powerful men in the court. Now that they died at the same time, it can only show one fact: the immortal from Biyou Palace The horror is far beyond our imagination, and may be almost the same as that of Doumu Yuanjun and Taiyi Zhenren back then. "

No one objects. The facts are before our eyes. Blind denial and disbelief will only cause greater losses.

"For such an immortal, we'd better not confront him head-on and retreat instead of advancing." The man with a hoarse voice said.

"How to make progress by retreating?" said a voice like a broken gong.

The old man said with an old tone: "Let Zhang Yuquan take over Qiaozhou and send us back to the capital. We will use the excuse of gathering the family members to delay as much time as possible. If it doesn't work, we will seize control of the ships on the waterway and return quietly."

"When the waterway is interrupted, with our secret management power and your background, we will be able to hide it from Zhang Yuquan. When the waterway reopens next year, we will be done. What are we afraid of?"

They actually knew who the imperial envoy was, which showed that there was no shortage of forces supporting them on the other side!

A low voice said: "What if the immortal from Biyou Palace 'escorts' us back to the other side?"

The secret room fell into silence again. After an unknown amount of time, someone gritted his teeth and said:

"Then just burn the boat and lead him there. I don't believe I can't kill him!"

"Okay!" The others made up their minds after hesitating for a moment.

Death is a dream, but immortality lasts for tens of thousands of years!

…………

Xinhai City, the capital of Qiaoxia Prefecture.

The sun was shining brightly, casting patches of light on the blue sea, like dancing golden scales. Where the sea and the sky met, ships gradually grew larger, with masts towering as if they could pierce the clouds.

Many fishermen and merchant ships stared wide-eyed. They have not seen such a large building ship and such a spectacular fleet in many years. I am afraid they have only encountered it when they migrated to establish Qiaozhou!

Before the building ship approached the harbor, the governor of Qiaoxia Prefecture, Fang Buongbu, approached on an official ship and boarded the deck of the ship where the imperial envoy Zhang Yuquan was.

He once set a record for being the oldest person in this dynasty to become an outdoor scene. Now he is old and has not been able to break through to the second heaven. It is not because the vitality of heaven and earth is insufficient, and the required heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot be found, but because of the entrance. There are mistakes that are difficult to make up for.

Fang BuTong had pale hair, a slightly arched figure, and many wrinkles on his face. He could not see the slightest trace of the governor's demeanor as a pastor. He respectfully greeted Zhang Yuquan and quietly took a look at the Taoist wearing a majestic mask behind him. A terrifying figure with the title of "Yuanshi Tianzun"!

And Meng Qi was also sizing him up. A real person should not be judged by his appearance. Who could tell that this thin and frail old man, together with other governors, caused two fleets of the imperial court to be lost in the ocean, and two strong men on location were lost.

Regarding this point, the imperial spies lurking in Xinhai City have just made a report.

Fang BuTong, the old god, listened to Zhang Yuquan read out the imperial edict, saying that the emperor sympathized with him in his old age and allowed him to return to his roots. Zhang Yuquan temporarily took over the post of governor of Xiazhou.

After listening to this, Fang BuTong shouted loudly about God's grace and was moved to tears without any intention of resisting.

After entering Xinhai City and after the banquet, Zhang Yuquan took the time to find Meng Qi and ask the immortal for advice: "Tianzun, I feel that something is not right. Fang BuTong is too cooperative. If something goes wrong, it must be a monster."

Meng Qi wore the mask of "Yuanshi Tianzun" and sat cross-legged on the bed. He said in an indifferent voice: "A man who can bury two imperial envoys in a row would be willing to surrender without mercy?"

It is difficult for those who have taken the risk to look back!

Zhang Yuquan understood this very well and said in a low voice: "Tianzun, I will be on guard against Fang Bing and find out the cause as soon as possible."

"Why bother with them? It's impossible to say that they are trying to delay time and wait for the channel to be interrupted. You have great righteousness and have the support of our Biyou Palace. You should turn against the guests and strike first to gain advantage!" Meng Qi said calmly.
