Xue Tong drew out the Huntian Ju!
No water will stick to it, and the Xuanqing brilliance is solid and thick.
Xue Tong injected a little magic power, and the nine spiritual patterns shone brightly, becoming much easier than before tempering.
The magic weapon's spiritual pattern lights up, which indicates that the bonus efficiency is full. The higher the quality of the magic weapon, the earlier the effectiveness will be exerted, and a large amount of mana can be efficiently amplified.
Xue Tong filled up his mana and struck with all his strength. The body of Huntian Ju suddenly swelled by nearly half!
The expansion and contraction of the magic weapon starts from the third level of the prefecture level!
The dark clouds rolled up from the ground and flew away from the stone mountain.
The huge power increased by 80%, and the mana amplification was four times that of when Hun Tianju first reached the second level.
"If it weren't for the blood-soul alliance, Xue might have taken action against Huang Gongtai."
…
The next day.
Huang Gongtai arrived as scheduled and returned the Moyun gold pen.
"Senior, if you don't see any joy or anger, I guess the sword must be ready."
"Isn't it the same with your smile?"
Huang Gongtai is still weighing whether the deal with Xue Tong is worthwhile.
"Both parties will benefit from cooperation, and everyone will be happy! Xue still has to do things for his seniors, and I would like to ask what is the grudge between him and Guang Chengzi?"
Huang Gongtai said calmly: "When I got the treasure, Guangcheng's thieves plotted to harm me a lot."
Huang refused to elaborate, and further questions were in vain. Xue Tong asked instead: "If you kill only one person, what reward can Xue get?"
"A bag of heavy water, or 40 million spiritual stones."
"The reward for completing half of the mission is too small, not to mention that Senior Chongshui is not enough. Which round will I get Xue Tong? Why don't Xue kill one person and pay another 50 million spirit stones in exchange for the secret technique," Xue Tong suggested.
"Impossible!" Huang Gongtai refused.
"Haha, okay then, Xue will act according to circumstances and there is no guarantee that it will be completed, but what if I finish it after all the hard work and can't find the senior?"
"Huang will stay in Kanze Lake District and not leave for twenty years!"
The two agreed that Xue Tong could cause trouble in the lake area at any time to attract Huang Gongtai.
…
"Huang Gongtai is not a fool. He knows that the possibility of me accomplishing it is extremely small, so entrusting me with the power to do things is better than nothing."
Xue Tong did not want to be involved in the whirlpool of life and death among Huanchen's top monks for a mere 40 million.
However, the refining technique was too tempting, and Xue Tong could not completely ignore Huang Gongtai's entrustment.
"Go back to Gaoyun first!" Xue Tong drove the eagle eastward.
The patience of the Southwest Alliance monks has reached its limit.
Especially Lei Zhen and others, whose cultivation level is low, are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Daochang Xue is back!"
As soon as the eagle stopped at the entrance of the town, someone recognized Xue Tong and shouted.
Little Gao Yun immediately caused a sensation.
The meeting hall was packed with people. Shengsheng Valley, Dingchuan Sect, Tianxing Mansion...the sixteen sects of the Southwest Alliance were all present.
"I just said, Taoist Xue will lure the old thief away and return safely!" Kuang Jing smiled brightly.
Xue Tong told half-truths and half-false lies, saying that he was dealing with the old thief of heaven and man for three months, and finally fought him off with all his strength.
Gao Yun's deeds of rescuing people from the knife point of an old monster are real "heroes". Gao Yun has already spread the news. Although others may think that his words may be exaggerated, they should be basically true.
Tang Chen's expression was complicated, and all the limelight was stolen by Xue Tong, which made him, the deputy leader, lose his face.
"Does Master Xue know the identity of that person?" Tang Chen asked.
"Xue didn't know that the storage bracelet of Deputy Valley Master Ma was taken away by the old thief, and his identity must have been exposed. Therefore, Xue risked his life to deal with him, making the thief feel that there was no chance of winning, and he did not dare to attack Gao Yun. .”
Xue Tong's beautiful words were clear and logical.
"Fortunately, there are people like Daozhang Xue here who can both save people and defeat the enemy."
"I asked why there has been peace and quiet for several months. It turns out that it is because Taoist Master Xue forced the old thieves to retreat!" everyone discussed.
After rambling for a while, Tang Chen left only Kuang Jing and Shengshengtang and other victims behind.
"Is it possible for Taoist Master Xue to take us to the lake area to search for the murderer?" Elder Yu, the newcomer to Shengsheng Church, said.
Xue Tong waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't go to Hezhou. The Southwest Alliance patrols the border because they are worried about the invasion of monks from Central and South China. But now that he has entered Hezhou, it doesn't make sense.
"Although there is a life-and-death lawsuit, we were the ones who invaded Hezhou first. Besides, the old thief of Heaven and Man has already left. It is very inappropriate to search in such a big way."
"Is that all?" Elder Yu glanced at Tang Chen.
"Elder Yu, be patient for now. When Daoist Xue comes back, I can take care of the follow-up matters."
"Taoist Master Xue has been living in Gaoyun recently, so he doesn't need to do those small things of patrolling the world." Tang Chen said.
"That's very good!" Xue Tong said.
The monks from Tianxing Mansion rescued by Kuang Jing and Xue Tong came to the mansion as guests.
"That day, the Taoist leader was as good as the old thieves. With a backbone like you in the Southwest League, it will be difficult for the people of Yanzhou to cause trouble." Kuang Jing said.
"Where is it? Everyone is working together. Speaking of this matter, Xue also asked me something. A few months ago, there was a tragedy in Tianmang City. Two major murderers escaped. Have you heard about anyone who secretly went to the south?" Xue Tong asked.
The two shook their heads.
"Keep an eye out for me," Xue Tong said.
…
One month after the incident, Xue Tong, Kuang Jing, Elder Yu and others were suddenly invited to the meeting hall.
In addition to Tang Chen, Wei Chengxiong, the leader of the Yifeng Sect, was also there.
"After Tang Mou asked the leader for instructions, and discussed with Yifeng and other leaders of several Daxuan sects, we added Sect Leader Wei as the deputy of the alliance."
"This is one of the reasons. The other is that the Southwest Alliance feels that the case in Hezhou cannot be left alone, and asked fellow Daoist Xue to go to Hezhou to find out the identity of the murderer." Tang Chen said.
"Oh" Elder Yu was pleasantly surprised.
"Why doesn't Xue know anything about Xue?" Xue Tong was quite unhappy.
"The Southwestern Alliance's deliberations are mainly based on the Daxuanmen's agreement. Both the Shengsheng Valley Master and the Dingchuan Sect Master have agreed. Elder Yu is also unaware of it. He did not deliberately hide it from fellow Taoists."
"Besides, Ji Cult Leader also means the same thing." Tang Chen said.
Ji Hongfeng, the leader of Cangyan Cult, was the first person in the southwest region in the early days of Heavenly Humanity. Tang Chen specifically emphasized this, and his intention was self-evident.
"Fellow Daoist Xue has personally experienced the incident, and his cultivation is top-notch. He is the best candidate to go to Hezhou. The Southwest League has specially allocated a million spirit stones to be used for round trip expenses. We will discuss rewards afterward." Wei Chengxiong looked very generous, Business-like.
"It doesn't matter if Xue goes. The alliance cares about the monks in the alliance. Please investigate the tragic death of Master Mang that day."
Xue Tong was unexpected and readily agreed, making only a very reasonable request.
"This matter really needs to be investigated in detail. Once Taoist friend opened his mouth, he took it upon himself to blame Tang. The current evidence points to a Yanzhou person. Taoist friend can check it together when he goes here." Tang Chen said.
…
Half a month later, in Hezhou.
Xue Tong was riding a camel, and Huang Gongtai's identity was clear. He was going to Yanzhou.
He met many monks on the road, but Xue Tong turned a blind eye until he saw two middle-level Xiantian warriors.
"Stop!" Xue Tong caught up and shouted softly.
"senior!"
The two of them looked panicked. Hezhou was not very safe, so they deliberately took the main road.
"Don't panic, where are you two going?"
"The town ahead, I want to buy something."
Xue Tong hadn't entered the town for ten days, and they met the highest-ranking monk on the road. He wanted to ask some questions, so he said: "I also go to have a rest and lead the way."
"Yes Yes!"
In a small town a hundred miles away, Xue Tong followed the two of them and checked into an inn.
"We are Taoist monks. We drew some talismans and planned to sell them in exchange for some elixirs." The tall monk said.
"Well, I would like to ask you something about Yanzhou Suxin Sect."
Xue Tong did not shy away from it, nor did he change his name in disguise. He learned from the two of them that the leader of the Suxin Sect was none other than Daofa Zhenren. Guang Chengzi left the sect decades ago and his whereabouts are unknown. The territory of the Suxin Sect occupies most of Yanzhou. The main mountain, Wangtian Peak, has hundreds of thousands of disciples. The four thousand miles within Wangtian Peak is the core territory of the sect, and there are nearly ten thousand disciples in the inner sect.
"Where's Senior Miaoqing?" Xue Tong asked.
"Senior Miaoqing left the sect earlier and became the master of Fengming Temple. He didn't have many disciples."
…
Xue Tong is not far from Yanzhou.
At dusk, the mountain road has poor visibility.
There was a sound of horse hooves behind them, and the three riders passed Xue Tong, the first heavenly monk, and secretly glanced at Xue Tong.
Xue Tong continued to march northeastward unhurriedly.
Not long after, the other two riders overtook him again.
"What's going on? There are five or six groups of people, and there are a lot of people taking a peek." Xue Tong felt something was wrong.
"Stop, you are so brave to peek at me!" Xue Tong said angrily.
A palm shadow appeared in mid-air, hovering over the heads of the early Xiantian monks. A murderous aura filled the air, making the two of them stiff.
"Senior... calm down, there are rumors that high-ranking people from Renzhou have sneaked into Hezhou. We both... just want to see the appearance of senior, so we dare not have any evil intentions."
"There are rumors about this happening!"
"We learned about it ten days ago."
The situation was clear at a glance, Gao Yunzhen must have released the news that Xue Tong was going to Hezhou.
"What else did the rumors say?"
"The Taoist master can easily kill the top master, and his cultivation is extraordinary, which greatly aroused our curiosity. This is so audacious...!"
"That's all, spare your two lives!"
Xue Tong rolled his eyes and had an idea.
…
A small town in the south of Yanzhou, Saifeng City.
Sai Feng already belongs to the territory of Su Xin Sect.
Xue Tong sold a red leaf temple monk magic weapon at the spiritual object shop, and waited at the inn for the Su Xin Sect to come to the door.
Don't do anything without doing anything else, just be straightforward.
His majestic behavior attracted the attention of the master of the Suxin Sect's Law Enforcement Hall a few days later.
"Sure enough, there is a Daxuanmen sect. The master of law enforcement is clear and does not do secret things. Xue's trip is indeed worthwhile!"
The visitor, Li Wanzhan, a great master, smiled slightly and said, "It is said that Taoist friend Xue wants to do evil things. It seems that what he said is not true."
"The incident involving Su Xinzong two years ago worried the six southwest states. Xue wanted to explore the atmosphere in Yanzhou to see if there was really a danger of being invaded in the southwest as those people said." Xue Tong said bluntly.
"Fellow Taoist, you came just in time. The Su Xin Sect has heard about it a long time ago. There is a messy alliance in the southwest. We have no time to cross Hezhou to go to your territory. Don't make trouble over nothing!" Li Wanzhan said.
"Li Enforcement represents the sect's wishes," Xue Tong asked.
"Of course, if Taoist Xue doesn't believe it, you can follow Li up the mountain!"
"Haha, Xue is so brave that he doesn't dare to go up to Wangtian Peak alone. He has the guts to ask for a document so that he can go back and deliver the work."
"Li, give it a try. Fellow Taoist, please stay in Sai Feng and stop running around."
Li Wanzhan will return on the same day.
…
Two days later.
Just when Xue Tong was looking forward to accomplishing a big event, shocking news came: a murder occurred in Saifeng, killing dozens of people!
Anyone who understands can see at a glance that this matter was most likely done intentionally to lead the dirty water to Xue Tong.
But so what? It’s always troublesome.
Killing two birds with one stone, it not only destroyed the peace, but also involved Xue Tong!
