There is a small table next to the door, just enough for two people to have a drink.
No one paid attention to Xue Tong in the tavern. The monks in the city were higher than the remote Cambrian Mountains. There were at least four heavenly beings in the tavern on the second floor.
It is indeed a lively place in the interior, with many races. There are also two tables of dwarves and orcs in the tavern.
Xue Tong lived in a crowded inn, so it was convenient for him to see the world. He ordered a few side dishes to eat and drink quietly, without striking up a conversation, and just listened.
After half a month, I got some news. The largest Taoist sect in Zhizhi City is called Jiyao Sect, and the sect leader is in the middle stage of Wusheng.
He sat in Xue Tong's tavern and browsed the spiritual objects shop. He spent all the belongings of more than ten monks from Xueyuan and exchanged them for celestial-level beast corpses, poison powder and toxins, and some sixth-grade elixirs.
Spiritual objects in the early and middle stages of Liaocheng Tianren were not uncommon, so Xue Tong purchased them sporadically without attracting anyone's attention.
"It's almost time to go back. After a journey of seven to eight thousand miles and a month or two of work, it's time for the Xueyuan Myoko Sect to start making trouble."
…
Wujie Mountain.
The visitor, Deputy Sect Master Miao Gao, took a bag of spiritual stones and gave them to the gate guard, "Please tell me, Sir, a traitor has caused mischief by killing the Xueyuan Sect elder and putting the blame on Miao Gao. Now the two sects are about to fall out, and we need to ask Lu Sheng to make the decision!"
"Oh." The guard's consciousness swept away and there were about 800,000 spiritual stones in the bag. He looked at his companions and said, "The deputy sect master's etiquette is in place. We should have followed it, but Lu Sheng became furious when he was disturbed last time. ,I worry..."
"The situation is urgent, please be accommodating. Lu Sheng will take the blame and I will bear all the blame!" Deputy Sect Leader Miao Gao pleaded.
At the level of guard master, just because he was guarding the door for Lu Shaoyu, the deputy master of Miao Gao had to be humble and call him a master.
"Why don't the deputy sect master stay in the guest house for a few days? It can be considered as a courtesy to meet Lu Sheng. Isn't it too late to ask to see him again?" the guard said.
"Sheng Lu won't blame me. I'm sorry to bother you!" the deputy sect leader said, taking another bag of spiritual stones to show his filial piety.
"Okay, come with me!"
Miao Gao and his party of three people went up the mountain with two guards.
There is an exquisite and gorgeous palace near the top of the mountain, and the backyard leads directly to the underground palace.
"Waiting on the ground in front of the palace!"
The tall guard entered the palace alone.
Miao Gao people waited quietly to hear the announcement, but there was a violent roar!
"Who asked you to come!" The voice was extremely angry.
The four people in front of the hall were so scared that they jumped up in fear.
There is another person in front of me, carrying a bloody corpse!
The corpse had a big hole in its chest and its heart and lungs were hollowed out.
Lu Shaoyu's face was charred and his hair was disheveled. He gritted his teeth and stared at the deputy sect master Miao Gao.
Several people's legs and feet went weak and they fell to their knees.
Deputy Sect Leader Miao Gao felt chills in his heart, and a thought flashed through his mind: "It is rumored that every time Lu Shaoyu shows up, his irritability escalates a bit, or it may be caused by the exercises he practices."
"Xueyuan Sect wants to massacre Miao Gao Sect, please ask Lu Sheng..." The deputy sect master knew that he could not waste a word, and even had to exaggerate to make Lu Shaoyu hold back.
"Go to hell!" Lu Shaoyu waved his hand.
The dark palm shadow slammed into the head of Miao Gao's deputy sect leader.
"Bang!"
The deputy sect leader's body armor and his head exploded to pieces!
Lu Shaoyu grabbed two other people in succession, turning the two other Miao Gao clan members who had just jumped up and tried to escape into a pulp.
"Holy King, have mercy on me, Holy King, have mercy on me!"
The short guard kowtowed as if pounding garlic and wet his pants.
Lu Shaoyu said no more and the figure disappeared.
The guard kept kowtowing for a full stick of incense.
Finally, he stood up and observed for a while, then quietly put down the magic weapons stored in the four corpses, slowly retreated to the mountainside, and then ran away like crazy.
"Lu Shaoyu has gone crazy and left Wuchieshan dead. The fortune he made today will be enough to squander for decades!"
The guard only vaguely remembered that Lu Shaoyu's mental condition had deteriorated and his irritability had gotten worse since the savage who looked like a hundred years ago left.
It is true that Lu Shaoyu suffered from mental disorder and violent madness due to practicing Xin Wuchang, the great demon of Chongguang Realm and a half-Yang man, Xin Wuchang.
Xin Wuchang was unable to retaliate due to the oath he had made, but Lu Shaoyu repeatedly begged him to teach him the magical power of the 狌. After Xin Wuchang asked for the benefits, he accepted the favor.
Lu Shaoyu only knew that the magical power was unparalleled, but he didn't know that he needed special blood to practice it.
From then on, he embarked on a road of madness and no return.
…
Zhou Peng, the leader of the Miao Gao clan, waited around but no one came back.
Ten days were enough, but twenty days there was still no sign of anyone.
Zhou Peng sent Lu Xizhong, the leader of the law enforcement hall, to lead people to Wujie again.
The cold wind was biting, and in front of the empty palace, Lu Xizhong saw a frozen corpse.
He glanced at the strange and solemn stone palace in the dusk and retreated decisively.
"The deputy sect leader died tragically. There are no traces of a fight on the ground. Either Lu Sheng killed him or the people who fought back Lu Sheng killed him. Why don't you leave and leave him to die?"
Years of experience in the law enforcement hall saved Lu Zhong's life.
The relationship between the two sects, Xueyuan Miaogao, suddenly reached a freezing point. Miaogao accused Xueyuan sect of planning the Jieshan incident, but the sect was inferior in strength and did not dare to take the initiative to retaliate.
…
Xia Shan.
Hou Qingdan received the report that the deputy master of Miao Gao died tragically in front of Wujie Hall.
"oh"
Hou Qingdan was greatly surprised. She concluded that Elder Miao's death was caused by "Xue Yuan", but the death of Vice Sect Leader Miao Gao really left her confused.
"Where did Xue Yuan get the strength to kill the people from Xueyuan? It remains to be verified. How come even the deputy master of Miao Gao is dead? Is there someone else who is also plotting against Miao Gao Zong?" Hou Qingdan asked, seemingly asking.
"Perhaps the previous estimate that Xue Yuan killed Elder Xueyuan was wrong?" Wu Yi, a scholar-looking monk, said.
"Is it rumored that the Xueyuan Sect seized the Miao Gao Token in Luocheng? It was given to Xue Yuan by this saint. It cannot be wrong."
"Either Xue Yuan joined forces with someone else, and another person killed Vice Sect Leader Miao Gao."
"Who is the other person? Who is so bold as to kill people in Wuchie Mountain?" Hou Qingdan recognized the sea, and the figures of Fan Yan and other heavenly beings who disappeared in Donglu emerged.
Everyone in the hall shook their heads, not knowing what they meant.
"I estimate that Vice Sect Leader Miao Gao died in the hands of Lu Shaoyu, but the reason is unknown." Hou Qingdan said slowly.
"Holy King, the battle of Xueyuan Myoko is about to break out. Should we add fuel to the fire and sneak into the two sects' territories to kill people and ignite the flames of war?" Wu Yi asked again.
"Wait a minute, Lu Shaoyu's whereabouts are uncertain, and the cause of death of Vice Sect Leader Miao Gao is unknown. We need to be patient for a little longer." Hou Qingdan said.
…
Xue Tong crouched during the day and went out at night, flying high on a vulture.
One month later, we entered the Cambrian Mountains,
In a small town outside the territory of the two sects of Yukigen Myoko, he pretends to be an inland master and sells goods.
Chat with people and find out about recent events.
"Vice Master Miao Gao is dead!"
"Died tragically outside Lu Sheng's Wuchie Hall! Where is Lu Sheng?" Xue Tong asked in shock.
"Who knows, who would dare to go to Wuchie Mountain? The situation of Lu Sheng is unknown, and I don't know where he is!"
…
Xue Tong wore the Miao Gao costume prepared for him by Hou Qingdan and lurked 300 meters away from Xueyuan City.
Intentionally or unintentionally, his whereabouts were exposed several times.
It's nothing more than sneaking through the mountains and forests while someone is passing by, just sneaking around.
His behavior was not clever, but when the situation was about to collapse, he was immediately followed.
Xue Tong had already made a plan, and as long as someone not at the level of the Xueyuan Sect Master took action, there would be no danger.
When tracking down suspicious monks, how could it be possible for the sect master to come out in person?
Xue Tong deliberately exposed his flaws and gave the pursuers the impression that he was not very strong.
The one who caught up with Xue Tong was the patrol team closest to him on the outskirts of Xueyuan City.
It’s just the ten cultivators led by the heavenly beings in the middle stage.
"kill!"
Xue Tong took action boldly, Zi Ran's flying sword was like a shooting star, first he killed the heavenly man, and then the magic weapon struck a critical blow, and the spiritual pets surrounded and suppressed...
…
Xue Tong fled back to Xiashan.
Reveal the true mid-term cultivation of heavenly beings.
The Ghost Hidden Shirt drains all mana, like a magic weapon that cannot be driven by power, and the effect of hiding one's cultivation disappears.
Because of its close fit, it is easy to infuse mana during battle and can be completed in an instant.
"Oh, Taoist Xue has advanced to the middle stage." Hou Qingdan said.
"I'm near the pass. After being promoted, I met the city monk by chance. We met on a narrow road, and the man named Miao happened to show up..." Xue Tong roughly told the story, and took out more than 20 identity cards and a bunch of name cards from his storage bag.
"Sure enough, it was you who did it, which greatly surprised me!" Hou Qingdan's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Xue Tong was startled and said hurriedly: "I dare not insult the Holy King's mission. I succeeded by luck."
"You don't have to be self-effacing. What's the matter with Wujie Mountain?"
"Xue really didn't know anything about it, so I thought it was the Holy King who took action."
"If I have that leisure, I might as well kill Lu Shaoyu and annex the two sects of Xueyuan Miaogao."
"Yeah, the Holy King is right!" Xue Tong nodded.
"Xue Yuan resumes his original position as an elder, and receives spiritual stones and resources according to the later level of Heavenly Being."
Hou Qingdan looked at everyone in the hall and said seriously.
…
The Xueyuan Sect was in an uproar and had no time to investigate in detail, insisting that the Miao Gao Sect killed the patrol team and handed over the people within a time limit, or ceded the land and paid compensation.
The moderate monks in the sect once argued that there were many reasons why the patrol was wiped out, and it seemed that it was framed by a traitor.
But the voice was quickly drowned out, and more than twenty monks died. How could the more powerful Xueyuan Sect maintain restraint.
Miao Gao has no evidence to prove his innocence, and he can't explain clearly.
During the negotiation between the two sects, they finally got into a fight. Four of Xueyuan were killed and six of Miaogao were killed. The situation suddenly became uncontrollable.
Xueyuan's army quickly gathered, and Miao Gaozong had to shrink its defense.
Zhou Peng sent his confidants to Xia Mountain secretly to ask for help!
Hou Qingdan carried out his long-planned plan, drove away the envoy, and told him that he would not intervene, but if Xueyuan's army invaded Miaogao Mountain, Xiashan Sect would not sit idly by and watch.
Then he summoned Xue Tong and ordered him to accompany him down the mountain!
"Me?" Xue Tong was shocked.
"Well, I have a plan for a long time. During the battle between the two sects, I took advantage of the situation and took the life of Xueyuan Sect. Your strength is one of the best among the Xiashan Tianren Sect. It is perfect to accompany me on this journey!" Hou Qingdan He said with a smile.
"I... Hou Sheng has plans to go to the battlefield in person, why not just kill Xueyuan Sect Master?" Xue Tong finally choked out a sentence.
"The more people die in battle between the two sects, the greater the enmity will become. It will never be possible to reconcile, and the saint's actions will become less abrupt."
"The more people die, the better it will be organized in the future!"
"Stop being so nagging, go get ready. This is for you." Hou Qingdan approached and handed Xue Tong a shield.
"Dragon Armor Shield?"
At that time, Zeng Gu used a third-grade earth-level shield to save his life in Miao Gao Guest House.
Xue Tong smelled Hou Qingdan's body fragrance and almost fainted.
He reluctantly came back to his senses and asked, "It's just me and Hou Sheng, is there anyone else?"
"Why, it seems that you are extremely reluctant, don't you?" Hou Qingdan said in a stunned tone.
"No, I'm just worried about dragging down Hou Sheng in the melee." Xue Tong said with a bitter smile.
Hou Qingdan favored him so much that he felt flustered.
