"ah--"
The screams resounded through the desolate valley and lasted for a long time. After a long while, a trembling groan could be heard.
"I miss Chu Liang a little bit..."
"If we don't play tricks with him, even if we can't defeat the Red Cotton Peak now, we can still become rich by sharing the dividends, so why suffer here."
"father……"
Half of Hu Yanbin's body was covered in blood, and he was tied to a thorn pillar in a miserable state, chattering incessantly.
Although Hu Yandong in front of him has been sealed for a long time, his clothes are still neat. Maybe the Mangshan disciples also knew that as a powerful person in the seventh realm, even if his combat power was not that outstanding, his Taoist heart was absolutely firm and could not be shaken by their methods, so they simply did not attack him.
He just focused on torturing Hu Yanbin.
It can be said that this son has been turned into a grandson.
Hu Yandong's seniority was greatly improved without any pain.
"This is how disputes are in the world. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The weak is the strong. How can it be so easy to get out of the situation when you join in." Hu Yandong's eyes dimmed slightly and his expression was cold. "We can't defeat Hongmian Peak. There will still be many minions behind our backs. They want to tear us apart. The Mangshan disciples are just the more savage group among them, and falling into their hands is an inevitable fate for you and me, father and son."
"My doom is certain. I think you are eating well and sleeping well..." Hu Yanbin's face became even more saddened.
"Because you are weak. The weaker you are, the more people will take advantage of you." Hu Yandong still seized the opportunity to educate.
"Come on, it's obviously because you're holding on to what they want, so they can't attack you directly." Hu Yanbin muttered, "Or if they want to know something, just tell them forget it, as long as they let us go Now that we’re gone, we’ll still have a few years’ share of Red Cotton Peak, which is enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives.”
"Absurd." Hu Yandong refuted, "How can we abandon the inheritance that our ancestors have worked hard for thousands of years because of the incompetence of you and me? Even if you and I die here, I will never be able to hand over the clan treasure."
"You..." Hu Yanbin's lips twitched twice, and finally he couldn't help but said loudly: "You just left everything to the younger ones! If we both die here and our bloodline is cut off, how can there be any inheritance? It's necessary, you just see that there is a little son outside, and you are so unscrupulous! If you think I am useless, just die!"
"right."
Hu Yandong nodded when he heard this, with an expression on his face that said, "You know."
"..." Hu Yanbin was kept silent for a long time by his calmness.
Only then did we know that sincerity is the biggest trump card.
The mountain breeze blew by, carrying the barbaric and demonic smell of the Mangshan Tutors. At first, the team that left Mangshan was more human than demonic, but now this team is more demonic than human.
Not long after the Mangshan disciples rebelled, Taotie City sent them aid under Penglai's instruction. Because the Penglai Shangzong's sphere of influence was unable to expand to the land of Kyushu due to the overt and covert resistance of the Yu Dynasty and the Kyushu Immortal Sect.
Therefore, the Penglai Shangzong has spared no effort to infiltrate in the past few years. In addition to wooing the immortal sect forces such as Thunder Castle and Taotie City, it also secretly funded rebel forces such as the Mangshan disciples.
It's just that the assistance they provide to the Mangshan disciples can only ensure that they don't starve to death. When they originally provided the funding, they also specifically stated that once the situation of demon transformation occurs, they must be resolutely cut off and cannot be tolerated. To put it bluntly, I just wanted to make the Yu Dynasty a little more chaotic so that it would be easier to fish in troubled waters. I never thought that it would have the power it has today.
To a certain extent, Taotie City's current fate can be regarded as its own fault.
After a while, Lu Jiangtong came over again with a few people.
As soon as he saw this evil star, Hu Yanbin's body trembled for no reason.
This person is different from the geniuses of the Immortal Sect that he has come into contact with in daily life. Although he is also a person with extraordinary talents, after all, those are civilized figures who grew up in the Immortal Sect. But Lu Jiangtong was different. He was a demon descendant who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In a sense, he is more vicious than the practitioners of the Demon Sect.
But to the surprise of both father and son, Lu Jiangtong was not at the forefront of the group of people approaching.
Several high-level officials of the Mangshan disciples, headed by him, surrounded a rather short figure in the center, who looked like a thin child, and walked all the way to the two of them.
Hu Yandong raised his eyes and stared at it, realizing that the real challenge seemed to be coming.
As he came closer, the person opened his hood, revealing a childish face. He was really a handsome young man, who looked no older than twelve or thirteen years old.
This person is actually the real master behind the Mangshan disciples?
Not to mention Hu Yanbin, even the well-informed Hu Yandong was a little surprised. He naturally realized that there was someone else behind the Mangshan disciples, but he didn't expect it to be such a small hand.
"Wait a minute..." Hu Yanbin suddenly frowned, "I think I've seen you before. Are you the kid who used to walk around Hongmian Peak..."
He had had close contact with Hongmian Peak before and had gone there frequently to do business. Naturally, he had met Chu Yi, who actually held power in the name of running errands.
"Brother Huyan has a good memory. My name is Chu Yi. I have greeted you several times." Chu Yi responded loudly, showing a harmless smile.
Hu Yanbin felt a little warm when he saw this smile, because it was exactly Chu Liang's signature smile.
"Why are you here?" Hu Yanbin asked, "Did Chu Liang ask you to come and save us?"
"Don't be embarrassed." Hu Yandong scolded.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this child is the talker of Mangshan Tutor. He is still holding on to unrealistic fantasies. The father really can't stand it anymore.
This child seems to be much smarter and calmer than his own son, but it is really a sad story.
"It's a pity, brother Huyan." Chu Yi replied: "On the contrary, I asked Lu Jiangtong to invite you and your son here. Now I have completely broken with Hongmianfeng."
When Hu Yanbin heard this, his face turned pale.
Hu Yandong secretly said that it was true, but then said: "You broke up with Hongmian Peak? Then you are willing to attack my Taotie City for Shushanzhuan. Is it just a matter of deep love and righteousness?"
"I don't need to bother the city lord. I have my own reasons." Chu Yi glanced at Hu Yanbin and said, "I just didn't expect them to be so brutal. I just asked him to ask questions casually. Why?" I will torture you into this state." Chu Yi frowned and glanced at Lu Jiangtong.
The evil leader of the Mangshan disciples immediately took a step back and half-knelt on the ground, "This subordinate is willing to be punished."
Chu Yi didn't say much, just let him continue to kneel, then turned around and said: "But the ancestral property of Taotie City is actually not my purpose, it is just a mention by the way. You two must also be able to see that I give Mang The mountain disciples should have more treasures than the treasures left in Taotie City. What I want to ask is another thing."
Hu Yandong looked at this well-educated child, wondering what he would say.
"I know that Taotie City once worshiped the mountain gate of the Venerable Wanfa, and later switched to Penglai." Chu Yi said slowly: "If I want to ask the Lord of Huyan City to help pull the strings, let me meet the Venerable Wanfa, and then I will I wonder if it’s okay to let you father and son go?”
Taotie City is located in the Northern Territory, and there is no strong person from the eighth realm to take charge of it, so it is natural to seek help from others. In the past few hundred years, the Venerable Wanfa of the Holy Mountain in the Northern Territory has been the object of their worship, and they send a large amount of resources to the Holy Mountain every year.
In the Northern Territory, as long as you pay homage to the Wanfa Venerable's dock, you can ensure calm weather. When an individual's power reaches a certain level, the so-called Nine Heavens and Ten Earths must also be in awe.
It was only later that Taotie City had to compete with Hongmian Peak, and its sphere of influence limited to the northern region was no longer enough, so it fell to Penglai Shangzong. With the protection of Penglai's strong men, he could do more, and gradually alienated his relationship with the Holy Mountain.
But after all, the two sides have had hundreds of years of contact, and even if Taotie City later separated, it would not be completely severed. This time the Mangshan disciples attacked Taotie City. If it wasn't too fast, the Holy Mountain of the Northern Territory might not have come to help.
"You also want the protection of the Venerable Wanfa?" Hu Yandong said solemnly, "A group of demon descendants are rebelling..."
"I just want to have a talk. Without the protection of a strong person in the eighth realm, we will eventually be unable to stand in this world." Chu Yidao: "Lord Huyan, don't worry about what I will do. Just tell me whether this deal can be done or not." That’s it.”
Hu Yandong responded without hesitation: "Deal."
…
On the mirage mountain, there is a cave for the common people.
The headmaster of the Penglai Sect has his own palace, but the cave he originally lived in will not be revoked. Common Taoists usually practice in their own caves more often than in the headmaster's hall.
His cave is also the best location on Mirage Mountain. It is on a high cliff next to the sea. It is shaded by sacred trees and the wind is strong outside.
At this moment, Yang Shenlong stood in the wind, letting his clothes flutter and his hair blowing, silent for a long time.
Rumble——
The door of the cave opened, and Taoist Xuanlu walked out of it and said lightly: "You can go in."
Yang Shenlong glanced at Xuanlu and walked into the cave without saying anything.
Qi Lin'er's death was at least probably caused by Xuan Lu. I thought that even if he was respected by Taoists in the world, he would inevitably be punished. However, Taoist Cangsheng seemed to have only allowed him to travel to the far west, and there was no excessive punishment.
I don’t know if it’s because he who doesn’t know is not guilty.
Things like divine resurrection are extremely secretive and cannot be widely publicized. If it fails for some reason, it might be explained as God’s will.
But Yang Shenlong didn't want to follow God's will.
This is also the reason why he came to see Taoist Cangsheng today.
This cave is very vast. After entering the vestibule, you have to walk along the corridor for a while, passing by the waterside pavilions on both sides, before you arrive at the place where Taoist monks usually retreat and practice.
The furnishings here are simple, with only a statue of a god, a few futons, and green smoke rising in the quiet room.
"Headmaster."
Seeing the figure sitting on the futon with eyes closed, Yang Shenlong nodded and saluted.
"You rarely come to see me." Taoist Cangsheng slowly opened his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "There must be something important."
There are often rumors from the outside world that Taoist Taoists suppressed the Yang family in Penglai. But only the people on Mirage Mountain know that with the authority of the leader, if he really wants to suppress an ethnic group, no matter how deep-rooted it is, it will have been eradicated long ago, and it is impossible for Yang Shenlong to grow into a world-famous genius.
The fact is that Yang Shenlong had very little contact with the headmaster when he was growing up, but all the resources he needed were top-notch.
"Qi Lin'er is dead." Yang Shenlong said thoughtfully, "Has the headmaster responded?"
"I asked Xuanlu to go to the far west and learned some news." Taoist Cangsheng replied: "There seems to be some secrets about Chu Liang. The people who were killed by the East China Sea Zhoulun all It’s useless… Moreover, he seems to have something the demon clan wants.”
"Chu Liang?" Yang Shenlong seemed not to have expected that he would mention this.
Qi Lin'er is dead, so why does it matter?
"That's right." Taoist Cangsheng seemed to really take it seriously, "The two demons are trying their best to save Chu Liang, and they say that he is carrying a sacred object from the demon clan... what could it be?"
When Yang Shenlong heard this, his mind was racing, and he suddenly said: "I once heard Yu Hu say that he was shocked by Chu Liang when he first met him. He destroyed a solid magic weapon in an hour and a half. …”
He seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Is it possible that the sacred object that the demon clan spares no effort to obtain is also related to the resurrection of the demon god..."
"The demon god's true form?" Taoist Taoist Taoist priest naturally thought in an instant, "Sky-devouring Insect!"
Yang Shenlong's eyes were calm, and he obviously thought so too.
When Xuan Lu and Taoist Cang Sheng reported it just now, the two of them had guessed what it was, but they had no clue for the moment. Now that I heard the important information provided by Yang Shenlong, I could immediately guess it.
If Caiyi revealed it directly, they might still wonder if she had another purpose. By guessing it yourself, you will have no doubt about it.
"No wonder he has never left Shushan since the return of the demon clan. It seems that he is not only wary of our revenge." Taoist Cangsheng looked in the direction of Shushan. "He is clearly wary of the demon clan."
"But even if he had the Sky-Eating Insect before, he should be killed after this, right?" Yang Shenlong asked doubtfully.
"Not necessarily." Taoist Cangsheng's eyes were dark, "Maybe there is some conspiracy hidden in Shushan."
Yang Shenlong shook his head gently.
Based on his understanding of Chu Liang, he may be good at planning, but he is not a dark-minded person and will not use human safety as a bargaining chip in conspiracy.
When the Taoist priests said this, they were probably trying to reach the heart of Chu and Liang with the heart of a master.
"However, although he has not left Shushan recently, he is still very busy. This kind of young man is the focus of the world no matter where he is." Taoist Cangsheng continued: "We can test him."
Yang Shenlong had no intention of defending Chu Liang. This was not why he came today.
Just listen to him say: "Headmaster, since Qi Lin'er is dead, the matter of our ancestor Yang Sheng..."
"Of course we'll put it aside for the time being..." Taoist Cangsheng said suddenly, "You don't have to mention it to anyone anymore until you find a suitable body."
"Actually, I..." Yang Shenlong said, "I can."
"What can you do?!" Taoist Cangsheng's voice suddenly became stern.
"I can also transform my body to cultivate the Dao, and I have a blood connection with my ancestors. This will be doubly compatible when the blood merges. It is better than others..." Yang Shenlong said softly.
"Don't mention this matter again." Taoist Cangsheng waved his sleeves heavily.
"Headmaster..." Yang Shenlong seemed to be obsessed with death.
"I am willing to sacrifice for this because the more you reach the peak of cultivation, the more you know the upper limit of your qualifications." Taoist Cangsheng said sternly: "And your cultivation path has just begun, how can you be so eager for quick success?"
"..." Yang Shenlong remained silent.
"I swore to your fathers back then that I would absolutely protect you. This is absolutely impossible." Taoist Cangsheng said solemnly: "You go back and stay in confinement for a year and reflect on it."
Yang Shenlong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he hesitated and just lowered his head and said: "Yes."
…
But Chu Liang, who had been mentioned by countless people, was a little embarrassed at the moment.
In Hongyuefang, a luxurious and grand banquet was being arranged. All kinds of delicacies were placed on the table, and bubbles were rising from the red oil hot pot.
But the people sitting in front of him didn't give him any face. They just ate and drank, and no one raised their head to pay attention to Chu Liang.
"You..." Lin Bei frowned, as if he wanted to say something.
Chu Liang pressed his hand on the air to signal him to calm down, and then smiled and said: "Young Master Hong, since we have almost eaten, can we talk about business?"
"What's there to talk about? Hehe, let's keep saying that..." The fat young man opposite raised his head and wiped his mouth, "No more money, no need to talk."
good evening.
I always feel sleepy when I come back from the injection. Today I lay on the sofa to rest for a while and then fell asleep. It was too late after the injection.
