When Xue Tong entered Chaodu Ridge, his mood was completely different.
When I went up the mountain three months ago, I didn't know what to expect, and I didn't even have much expectations. But now, unlike in the past, Gancong and Gushidong are about to come out, and they won't be very far away.
Xue Tong and Miao Gaofeng took the You family's carriage in Liangting Town, quietly went to Chaodu Qiling at night, and lived in an inconspicuous small courtyard.
It seems that all are single-line connections. For example, whether Xiang Hao came to Youfu, Xue Tongmiao and Gao Feng did not know.
Miao Gaofeng obeyed Xiang Hao's orders, but he rarely knew about Gan Cong's level of information.
Xue Tong never mentioned others to avoid causing trouble.
Most of the servants of the You family live in Qiling, and the conditions are simple, but for Xue Tong, having a house is enough.
He stayed at home, sat quietly and practiced the exercises, and prepared patiently for a month.
…
The steward of You Mansion came to visit and took Xue Tong and Miao Gaofeng to the "Qingyuan" of Twelve Ridges
The hundred-acre garden is dotted with magnificent buildings, with the main hall in the middle and a ten-acre square to the south, offering a broad view.
Qingyuan is closed on weekdays. As the venue for this event, the Victoria Prefecture closed the garden half a month ago and carefully inspected it to eliminate traps and secret passages.
"Why doesn't the state government arrange a venue?" Xue Tong asked.
"Master You has a tough attitude. Regarding Xin Yi's case, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask, but people from the You family have no obligation to go to the state capital for a hearing." The steward said.
The steward took Xue Tong and Miao Gaofeng into Qingyuan.
The moment he entered the garden, he was followed by Fu Xiu.
You Xi had coordinated with the state government in advance, and all the cultivators at Guihou Peak and above gathered in Qingyuan and were asked questions at will. No matter who they suspected, they could stay for further investigation.
In the hall, Xue Tong saw Xiang Hao in the front row.
"Xiang Hao came in so carelessly, and he wasn't afraid of others seeing his flaws?" Xue Tong felt strange.
There were more than twenty monks sitting on one side of the U-shaped meeting table, leaving three empty seats in the middle; seventeen people were sitting on the Weizhou Mansion, but the state leader had not yet arrived.
The cultivators in Weizhou Prefecture are all the most successful and peak Ghost Lords. Although their number is small, their strength is obviously superior.
Half an hour later, You Xi and Qu Zhaojing entered the venue.
There was a strange atmosphere in the venue, high-ranking people gathered, and both parties seemed to have some kind of wishful thinking.
What Qu Zhaojing was thinking was: If the You family continues to be tough, they will arrest a few of them for an excuse, and if they dare not obey, they will use force!
You Xi is fulfilling the promise he made to Gan Cong, attracting senior officials from Victoria to cooperate and catch them all!
…
The Fu Xiu who specializes in investigating the case began to ask questions about the movements of the ghost kings in the later period of You Fu on the day of the incident.
The second one asked Xiang Hao.
The pseudonym used by Sang Ho is "Ronan"
"Ronan? It seems I've never heard of him. He's from You Mansion?"
"I came from Yuzhou forty years ago, and became a guest in Youzhuang, and I have been practicing to this day."
Qu Zhaojing raised his eyebrows and said, "The origin of Luo Junhou needs to be carefully investigated. Remember it first. If necessary, please return to Wei and ask again."
"The state capital investigates the case in Qingyuan. No matter how long it takes, there is no need to bring someone with you." You Xi answered.
"You Xi, since your 800th birthday, your attitude towards the state capital has become very wrong. Why is this?"
The senior state official next to Qu Zhaojing asked coldly.
"You's 800th birthday is a grand event. Small disputes should be trivialized, but the state government insists on asking me to bow to juniors like Longtai, which makes the You family lose face!"
Xue Tong understood clearly, "It seems that both sides have already planned to quickly cause a conflict and directly show off their cards."
"Nonsense, this state knows you are looking for excuses to cause trouble. If this is the case, then the Weizhou government will not be polite. Ronan needs to be taken back to Weicheng. Ask the next person first!" Qu Zhaojing shouted.
"You have to ask Luo Junhou if he agrees. According to the rules of this region, there is no evidence of involvement in the case. Even the state leader has no right to arrest people at will!" You Xi said.
"The state government is immoral and incompetent, unless the person investigating the case can defeat the Prime Minister's coldness!"
Xiang Hao immediately answered, and Gan Cong ordered him to try to provoke a fight and never show mercy if he could kill.
"Oh, it turns out there was a premeditated plan. Hum, I want to see how capable you are!"
"Dou Tao, go and meet us!" Qu Zhaojing sneered.
…
The carefully decorated venue only took the effort of a cup of tea.
The two parties "conspired" to bring everyone to the square in front of the temple.
Xiang Hao flicked his wrist, and with a huff, there was an iron fork burning half a foot of blue flame in his palm.
The cold will-o'-the-wisp freezes the skin instantly when it touches it, and the frozen areas fall off like ice slag; the cold flames also make the surrounding area extremely cold, stagnating the enemy's magic power and greatly reducing their skill.
Dou Tao took out his pocket, and the sky suddenly darkened.
The sledgehammer fell!
The cross shadow of Lenghuo rose tenfold and poked towards the sky.
The cold flames dispersed by the bombardment rolled out in all directions irregularly. Xiang Hao was the master of the will-o'-the-wisp, and he was not disturbed by it. Dou Tao had to be careful, as he did not dare to have any gaps in the protective layer of evil energy near his body, for fear that the cold flames would penetrate through the air. .
Dou Tao is a powerful man of the ghost tribe.
The whirring sound of the sledgehammer creates wind, and the moves flow smoothly.
"Boom! Boom!..."
The sound of hammer, fork, gold and iron mingled, becoming more and more urgent and heavy.
Xue Tong felt the strong cold air coming over him.
He stood close to Miao Gaofeng and asked in a low voice: "When the time comes for us, will we challenge the government cultivator in the same way?"
"No one talks about it. We'll wait until the Prime Minister's matter is settled."
Miao Gaofeng looked nervous. Among the seven people he knew, he ranked third. He hoped that the matter would be resolved before it was his turn.
The increasingly dense blue air mass enveloped Xiang Hao and Dou Tao.
The scattered cold flames and ghost fires were attracted by Xiang Hao's magic weapon and gathered again in the field. Dou Tao's evil spirit shield was condensed with a layer of frost.
Over time, the protective layer of evil spirits is likely to crack and collapse like gelcoat in the harsh winter.
Xiang Hao's magic technique accelerated, and the cold flame or ghost fire on the fork continued to grow.
"You want to defeat Dou by relying on the cold fire fork technique?"
Dou Tao shouted and muttered quickly.
Black smoke billowed out from his body, and his head jumped up.
"Activate the true body?" Xue Tong thought in shock.
The ghosts are all evil spirits in their true form. I wonder who kind of ghost Dou Tao is?
But Dou Tao's appearance did not change. His body swelled sharply, his belly bulged like a cow, and he suddenly burst out.
"call"
The fire waterfall flew down, the cold flames sizzled in the field, and large amounts of water mist evaporated.
Xiang Hao quickly dumped the bracelet, Dou Tao's body increased tenfold, and the target was unprecedentedly big.
More than ten magical weapons screamed and slashed at Dou Tao.
Xue Tong could clearly see that in Dou Tao's swollen body, a small shadow was quickly drifting towards the left abdomen of the ghost body.
That is the core of Dou Tao's soul power.
Dou Tao's body suddenly glowed red!
A wave of dark red blood surged toward his right arm holding the hammer, and the evil energy shrank to only protect the small piece of his left abdomen. All the blood energy and mana in his body converged on the giant hammer, and it rumbled out with three times the force.
Xiang Hao's heart suddenly went cold, and the Leng Huo Cha stabbed the sky with all his strength, and a thick and dignified layer of cross awn and cold flame shield instantly formed.
A loud rumble shook the valley.
Dou Tao's hands and feet were broken off, and his neck and chest were also pierced by the sword.
Xiang Hao dropped the iron fork, his vision went dark, blood spurted from his mouth, he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
A black ghost emerged from Dou Tao's body, and the splattered and broken flesh and blood quickly adsorbed on its surface, gathering more and more. In the blink of an eye, limbs grew, and his head...
The ghost clan relies on soul power and borrows corpses to survive, and Dou Tao has perfected the ghost demon magic of shrinking souls and changing bodies.
Only when his ghost emerged from the remains of his body did the ghosts on the scene realize.
"Underworld magic" is an evil magic in the eyes of the ghost tribe, which means that even in the eyes of the ghost tribe, it is an evil magic like a monster.
All kinds of underworld magic are greatly affected by qualifications, and not all ordinary ghosts can practice it.
Dou Tao waved his hand and threw out the black rope, trying to tie up the half-dead Xiang Hao.
You Xi flicked two fingers in succession, and several ice beads bounced off the black rope.
"Why, Master You refuses?"
Qu Zhaojing was sarcastic, his eyes flashing with coldness. I'm afraid it won't be long before he completely turns his back and gets into a fight.
"It's not You who doesn't want to, it's just because another guest doesn't want to!" You Xi sighed.
Xue Tong couldn't help being slightly shocked when he heard this.
"Oh, there are still guests? Master You set up an ambush?" Qu Zhaojing frowned and said disdainfully.
He was not worried at all. The strength of the cultivators in Weizhou was nearly twice that of the You family. Even if You Xi invited two or three high-ranking people, it would not help.
"boom!"
Fifty miles away, green smoke rose from the mountains, and a duck boat flew out of the cave, quickly approached, and landed in the square.
Five people came down one after another, all covering their faces with black cloth.
Finally, Gan Cong appeared.
"Gan Cong!"
The whole place was in an uproar, and people were talking in low voices one after another.
Gan Cong is a wanted criminal in the whole region, with a reward of 200 million.
Xue Tong glanced at the foreheads of the five people, comparing the impressions of Gu Shidong and Li Bing.
Qu Zhaojing's face was earth-colored, and all the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Chaodu Ridge has brought together half of the elites in Weizhou and Xianzhou. Except for Qu Zhaojing, all those who are willing to be loyal to me will be granted the title. Wei Feibai colluded with the traitors of the human race and put Minluo in danger, and has become a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"
As soon as Gan Cong came up, he divided the mansion cultivators and said in a confused way.
"Take Gan Cong and don't listen to his evil words!"
Standing next to Qu Zhaojing was the newly promoted Fuya General, who was die-hardly loyal to him.
Gan Cong raised his hand fiercely, and a black ghost claw with a dark phosphorescent light dug straight into the heart of the government general.
At the same time, he struck Qu Zhaojing violently with his sword, restraining him and unable to save him.
Qu Zhaojing drifted five feet and blocked the golden sword's feint with his whip.
"puff!"
The dark ghost's arm hit Fei Fu and inserted the sword into his heart, pulling out his bloody heart!
Gan Cong used thunderous means to kill the first person who stood up to oppose him, and commanded the cultivators.
Then the ghost arm let out a black light again and grabbed Qu Zhaojing hard on the top of his head.
Qu Zhao's fine treasure whip was swiped, and his cultivation level was comparable to that of You Xi. It was not easy for Gan Cong to kill him with one move.
But at this time...
Two rays of green and black light flashed across the air.
Directly cut the ghost arm into three sections!
A tall young man has appeared in the center of the square.
Xue Tong held the gold medal and said in a deep voice: "I am ordered by the domain lord to capture the rebel Gan Cong. The rest who were bewitched and coerced by him are not guilty!"
"The Guardian Territory Lord will be here soon!"
Most of the ghost cultivators were confused and looked at each other.
Gan Cong's face tightened as he thought of someone, "Are you Xue Tong from the human race?"
"It's me. You colluded with Gu Shidong, the scum of Tuoluo, to kill Bandu and other loyal people, and brought disaster to Minluo. The time for your death has come!"
Xue Tong stopped rambling, and the Nine Swords of the Storage Bracelet Earth Level were dispatched. The sky above the square suddenly darkened, thunder roared, dragons roared, and strong winds blew.
The black sword cloud blasted towards Gan Cong.
Xue Tong's power was definitely not something that Heavenly Man could stop in the early stage. In Gan Cong's formation, two black shadows flew forward, each running for his life.
"Capture these two, and you will be rewarded heavily!"
Xue Tong should not be distracted, he was filled with rage and 100% of his mana and brute force, all of which were channeled into the Burning Sun's ultimate move.
"Thousands of miles away"!
