Chapter 285: One City Suppresses Immortals

"Master Hou, there is still no news about Xu Chuan."

Yang Heng stood aside obediently.

In the past few days, he has been ordered to inquire about Xu Chuan.

There has been no news from Xu Chuan for seven or eight days since he went to Wu Kingdom.

At first.

It was only the head of the Hou Mansion who asked about it. Gradually, even Marquis Yuan learned about it. Not only him, but Yan Qin was also out to inquire.

Mr. Yuan Hou gave a faint hum.

Yang Heng muttered in his heart and cursed Xu Chuan secretly.

Xu Chuan went out to investigate the case, and he was not asked to actually kill the black and white evil spirits. He only needed to communicate well with the Wu Kingdom court. Such a simple thing could actually disappear. He couldn't help but wonder whether the leader of the Guiyun Sect had something. Moisture.

The key is that something happened to him, and now he needs someone else to find him. Yang Heng has never had to do such embarrassing things in his sect.

At this time.

Wang Li, the only civil servant among the guests, walked in.

It is said that there are two civil servants, but in fact he is the only one, because the other civil servant is Li Rui.

"Master Hou."

Wang Li saluted Lord Yuan: "The whereabouts of Mr. Xu have been found."

Hear the words.

Yang Heng looked at Wang Li curiously, with surprise flashing in his eyes. He had been searching for five days and still had no clue. How could Wang Li, who didn't understand martial arts, get clues so quickly?

Yuan Dingting still turned his back to the two of them, standing in front of the fish pond and spreading fish food.

Floating words:

"Say it."

Wang Li then continued: "Li Jiaoxi from Qinghe is familiar with the Wu Kingdom. I asked him to help. Mr. Xu should have been killed by the black and white evil spirits."

"Xu Chuan is dead?"

Yang Heng's pupils shrank slightly.

It's not that he hadn't thought about this situation, but he was still shocked when he actually heard it.

Wang Li looked at Yang Heng and then nodded: "It has been confirmed that he is dead. Li Jiaoxi asked the Wu State and the Qinghe County government to find Mr. Xu's body in the mountains outside the city. After an inspection, it has been determined that he is dead." The moving hands of black and white.”

Yang Heng was stunned.

No wonder Wang Li can be so fast.

Ganqing borrowed Li Rui's help, and the search by the two governments was certainly much faster than him alone.

But he was secretly frightened.

The black and white evil spirits were so audacious that they actually dared to kill people from the Annan Hou Mansion.

Even if he is a villain on the court's reward list, it is really shocking to do such a heartbreaking thing.

For a while.

Yang Heng was actually a bit sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.

He and Xu Chuan were both geniuses from their respective sects. They came to the Marquis's Mansion to obtain the inheritance from Yuan Dingting, but now they failed to become their masters and instead risked their lives.

Too uneconomical.

Yuan Dingting's hands did not move, and he only heard a voice coming: "Yang Heng, go to Tianshui Pavilion to find Yuan Xiong and ask him to bring me the heads of the Black and White Evils."

"yes."

Yang Heng bowed and nodded.

Of course, in such a big Marquis's mansion, they can't be the only four disciples.

In fact.

The four of them were just chosen by Marquis Yuan specifically for the sake of the fiefdom's face.

The Annan Hou Mansion is full of experts.

Not to mention anything else, just the eight adopted sons of Lord Yuan, all of whom are great masters, are the mainstay of the Hou family, and the retainers are just errands.

Yes, although Marquis Yuan had no apprentices, he had several adopted sons.

If something really happened, it would take eight adopted sons to take action.

Yuan Xiong of Tianshui Pavilion was not originally named Yuan. He changed his name after Yuan Dingting adopted him as his adopted son.

A martial artist in the innate realm.

It is a matter of course for Yuan Dingting to hunt down and kill two innates. If he cannot be invincible at the same level, he is not worthy of being his adopted son.

After one month.

A piece of news came.

The black and white evil spirits were killed by Yuan Xiong, the eighth adopted son of Yuan Dingting, and their heads were already hanging on the city walls of Yunzhou.

"As expected of the top ten in the world."

Li Rui looked at the letter sent by Wang Li and marveled.

This is the background of the Soldier Saint.

The notorious black and white evil spirits will kill as soon as they say they will.

How domineering!

"It's good to kill him."

The corners of Li Rui's mouth rose slightly. The black and white evil spirits were dead, and even the last bit of evidence was gone. Of course it was a good thing.

He has a good relationship with Wang Lishi.

But of course such efforts are just to cover up the truth.

The person was killed by the Black and White Shuangsha, the clues were provided by the Wu Kingdom officials, and the body was found by the Qinghe officials.

What does it have to do with him joining the army as an Ningwei?

Qingzhou City, state government.

A beautiful young woman walked into the backyard of the state government office and opened the door.

Then he saw Qu Chengfeng sitting cross-legged and meditating on the bed.

"Sir, what you want."

The beautiful woman took out a strange jade stone from her chest and handed it into Qu Chengfeng's hands.

"good."

The corners of Qu Chengfeng's mouth raised slightly, looking at the spiritual stone in his hand.

"Okay, step back."

The beautiful woman looked at Qu Chengfeng with some resentment and slowly closed the door. She had served Qu Chengfeng for several months, but Qu Chengfeng was not even willing to touch her body.

She felt this was the biggest setback in her life.

Qu Chengfeng certainly knew what this woman was thinking.

But compared to playing with women, the most important thing for him is to restore his cultivation.

‘This body is still too weak. ’

He turned to look out the window.

According to the orientation of the house, he was looking east.

There is a city on the east coast.

There lived a madman in the city who specialized in killing immortals.

"Middle-grade spiritual root."

in the room.

Li Rui thought to himself.

Although it is not bad, after all, a certain Han Xianzun started with low-level spiritual roots. In comparison, I am already very good.

But it is not enough.

Others don’t know, but he knows that there are really immortals in this world.

Why?

The system told him.

The achievement of becoming an immortal will not lie. Since there are immortals, of course he must become an immortal!

Otherwise, why would he, an old man in his seventies or eighties, fight for his life.

‘Methods to improve spiritual roots. ’

Li Rui put a lot of books in front of his knees. They are all ancient books handed down. Most of them are not credible and are almost the same as myths.

The truly valuable ones are probably in the Imperial Observatory.

‘It seems that I can only go through the back door again. ’

If it is somewhere else, he really has no way.

But if it is the Imperial Observatory, there are still some ways.

Jiang Linxian is now the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory. In addition, there is also Yao Xue, an acquaintance. It is not necessarily possible to get valuable things, but some useless ancient books are still possible.

Although it may not work, you always have to try.

What if it succeeds?

Li Rui was speechless.

Sure enough, it is difficult for anyone to be completely detached, just like him, who has experienced sixty years of vicissitudes, and what he cares about in his heart is not just the word immortality.

Outside Qinghe City.

The carriages waiting to enter the city are almost lined up for two miles.

The guards at the city gate are very friendly.

Magistrate Jia even set up a awning for the waiting convoys to rest.

Ordinary people certainly don’t have such treatment.

Magistrate Jia is the blue sky of Qinghe, not Qinghe’s servant, so of course he won’t care so much.

It’s just because the identities of these convoys are not ordinary.

They are all big clans from all over the place.

Unlike the attitude of the court before, since Lord Yuan came to Yunzhou, the attitude towards the big clans has been extremely open.

Just four words.

No one is rejected.

Why?

Of course, it’s because the fists are hard enough and the strength is strong enough. If any big clan dares to cause trouble in Yunzhou, the Broken Wave Divine Spear will appear on the hilltop of that big clan.

It's not that Lord Yuan is stronger than the entire court.

It's because the court manages the whole world, and it's impossible to do everything.

It comes down to the specifics.

That is, the Yunzhou government can't suppress those big clans.

But the situation is different now. Yuan Dingting can suppress all the clans in the world, so of course there is no such worry.

When a dragon comes, it has to coil up, and when a tiger comes, it has to lie down.

The big clans will definitely have many rules.

The same reason.

When it comes to Qinghe, County Magistrate Jia has to be more polite.

Otherwise, if these big clans complain to Lord Yuan, he can't afford to offend.

In the end, it's still the difference in strength.

In the middle of the long caravan, there is a big flag flying, with two big characters written on it.

"Return to Yun."

A gorgeous carriage opened the curtain, revealing the face of an elegant middle-aged man.

A young disciple of Guiyun Sect came forward and whispered a few words.

The middle-aged man's face changed instantly:

"What?"

"Xu Chuan is dead?!"

The young disciple nodded timidly: "Yes, I just got the news that he was killed by the black and white evil spirits. I heard that the two were killed by the adopted son of Lord Yuan, which can be regarded as revenge for Senior Brother Xu."

The middle-aged man's face was extremely ugly.

Xu Chuan was a disciple that the leader of Guiyun Sect had high hopes for.

Guiyun Sect had just arrived in Yunzhou.

He heard such bad news.

The middle-aged man sighed lightly: "Forget it, let's report this matter to the leader for a decision."

That's what he said.

But the matter actually ended here.

Xu Chuan died, but it was not killed by Lord Yuan, but he died in the line of duty while on a mission. Since he became a retainer, he should be prepared to sacrifice for this.

And Lord Yuan had already killed the murderer and avenged himself.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, Guiyun Sect has no reason to cause trouble to others.

Of course, Guiyun Sect can't afford to offend Annan Hou Yuan Dingting.

You can only admit your bad luck.

'It's really unpredictable. '

Xu Chuan's affairs did not stay in the heart of the middle-aged man He Wanchun for too long.

He is not his apprentice.

It's enough to report it, and there is no need to think about other things.

"Let's go."

He Wanchun raised his hand, and the convoy drove slowly, as if nothing had happened.

An hour later.

The convoy of Guiyun Sect finally entered the city, and soon arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.

This is the residence of Guiyun Sect.

"A Qing, go to Anningwei, I want to see that Lord Li."

"Yes!"

The young disciple of Guiyun Sect bowed and accepted the order, and then trotted away.

He Wanchun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and read out a name.

"Li Rui."

This name may not be well-known in Yu country, but if it is subdivided into the monster market, it is well-known.

The Guiyun Sect came to Qinghe just for two words.

Monster, monster, and monster.

It's just because Guiyun Sect itself has a beast control lineage, and He Wanchun is the leader of this lineage.

In the past, Wu country was self-proclaimed and had a narrow path.

This lineage has always been weak in Guiyun Sect. This time He Wanchun came with the purpose of revitalizing the beast control lineage.

So Li Rui is an existence that they can't avoid.

Who told Wu country people to go crazy and only recognize the name Li Rui.

‘I want to see if it is as powerful as the rumors say. ’

"Master, there was a disciple from Guiyun Sect just now, saying that their elder He wanted to pay a visit to Master."

Wang Zhao said.

"Yeah, got it."

Li Rui nodded.

Wang Zhao stood aside and waited for a long time with no result. He rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Li Rui meant.

He ran out with a smile.

He came back after a while: "Master, I told him that you are currently in retreat and will see you when you get out of retreat."

Only then did Li Rui smile more:

"Xiao Zhao, you are making progress."

In the past few days, more and more sects have come to Qinghe. If you throw a brick casually, you might be able to hit a sect elder.

It's really a blast.

Now, the sect elders who want to see him are almost leaving the Peace Guard.

If he saw them all, he would be either drinking or on the way to drink every day, and there would be no time to practice.

That’s all.

The key is that these people cannot be seen.

He joined the army as a member of the Anning Guard and met with these sect elders who were thinking about the monster business every day.

What's the meaning?

If you really think of yourself as a market for monsters, you will be in trouble.

A big tree attracts the wind and will get you into trouble sooner or later.

So the wisest thing to do at this time is to ignore the invitations of those elders and retreat bravely.

certainly.

This also means passing by those rare treasures that have been prepared.

Although it hurts, it must be done.

Wang Zhao's vision has improved a lot after his advice during this period.

He looked at Wang Zhao who turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Li Rui slowly stood up.

Then he opened the secret room and walked in.

After the secret room was completely closed, he took out the Hundred Battles Killing Intent hidden in the secret room.

Stab it.

The killing intent of Bai Zhan was absorbed into his body.

moment.

Li Rui's eyes turned red, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet. He put his right hand on the wall, barely holding on, and the veins on his arm popped out, and a palm print was left on the hard wall brick.

Hum, hum.

Heavy breathing echoed in the room.

This time was so difficult because the dose was increased. This time he inhaled twice as much killing intent.

How can the killing intent of the Soldier Saint be easily blocked?

A full half hour passed.

Li Rui gradually calmed down. The mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in front of him disappeared, and he regained his clarity.

His face was pale and his clothes were wet with cold sweat.

Just when Li Rui was about to open the secret room and go out to change into clean clothes——

The immortal energy in his dantian suddenly began to stir.

His pupils shrank slightly:

"Beitianmen?"
