Chapter 141 [King Lu and the Paradise Sect]
There is an ordinary cold palace deep in the palace. The outside of the door looks very decadent, with fallen leaves and grass all over the ground. It looks a bit gloomy under the cold wind, and there is a cold air seeping out from time to time.
This place is like a cold palace where a concubine was thrown into, but as you walk through the door, you will quickly find that it is a warm and spring paradise inside. However, not everyone can enter smoothly.
King Nangong Yu of Lu is a man in his forties. He is handsome and has been in a high position for many years, so he has the aura of a superior.
He is dressed in bright yellow uniforms, and Prince Nangong is wearing a black brocade robe and sitting at the lower left corner. At the lower right corner is a man with long hair and a blue ribbon tied to his forehead.
This man's face is very fair, as if his face is bloodless, his cheeks are somewhat sunken, and his mouth is somewhat protruding.
He held a slender cane in his right hand, nearly a foot tall, and looked at the dance floor in the center of the hall like a hawk. There were some handsome men and beauties under the age of twenty, who were dancing for the hall. These people dance.
However, the man looked at these men and women in a strange way, as if he was looking at food, and he licked his lips.
"What do the Imperial Masters think of these newly selected two-legged sheep?" King Lu couldn't help but ask when he saw that the man was very satisfied.
The man nodded. Behind him were several people dressed similarly to him, but much younger than him.
"His Majesty has always had a good eye. This batch of high-quality goods are tribute from ranches from various places. They are indeed extraordinary. I can feel the strong vitality in their bodies. I believe that Your Majesty will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when practicing the skills. Breaking through the innate world is just around the corner. "The man said with a complimentary hand, and King Lu suddenly laughed, singing and dancing more vigorously.
This banquet did not invite many people, basically only King Lu and the prince, plus those mysterious men.
These people generally have resentment and blood energy entangled in them, and the energy of cause and effect is even stronger, but because of their skills, they are always able to suppress these.
As the banquet came to an end, the man holding the cane and others began to walk onto the dance floor and select the men and women they liked. These men and women seemed to have been specially tamed and were so well-behaved that they did not dare to resist. They were indeed the two men mentioned by King Lu. Foot Sheep.
After these people finished selecting the goods, there were still more than ten men and women left, and the quality was naturally inferior to the previous ones.
Seeing this, the prince stood up and said, "Father, is the Imperial Master going too far? You didn't let your father choose first?"
"Haha, Imperial Master, it should be so. In the sect, my status is not as good as his." King Lu seemed to smile a little reluctantly.
Nangong Xiao saw this and continued: "It's time for the rules to change. My father now controls the country and holds great power. The Lu State has long been the overlord of China. However, the Bliss Sect is extravagant and greedy for enjoyment, and their strength is not as good as before. The two of them are not as strong as before. In 2008, their demand for two-legged sheep increased significantly, causing widespread complaints among the people. Even the other three major sects began to prepare for action. It’s time for my father to change."
"Prince, why are you so excited today?" King Lu glanced at his son with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Nangong Xiao was shocked, but the expression on his face did not change. He bowed and said, "Father, I have a tip here. Since Jiu Mei came back this time, she has frequently visited Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Cixin Temple and Lu Shangshu's family. In this place, there is a lot of commotion in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. A spy who has been lurking for many years has been eliminated. There is a strong trend of storm coming, so father must be on guard."
After hearing this, King Lu did not become furious, but seemed relatively calm, which disappointed Nangong Xiao.
"Go on, you also choose two people to practice Kung Fu, and strive to advance to Xiantian as soon as possible. In this way, you can become the core disciple of the sect, and the Paradise Sect will recognize you in the future. Do you understand?" King Lu waved his sleeves. , signaling Nangong Xiao to leave.
Depressed, Nangong Xiao randomly selected a man and a woman and brought them back to his East Palace. He came here prepared today, hoping to arouse his father's rage, thereby obtaining the great power granted to him and further expanding his strength.
"Innate?" On the way back to the East Palace, Nangong Xiao, who was riding a horse, sneered and reached out to hit the fallen leaves on the ground. Suddenly these leaves seemed to be shaken, and then in the next moment, they turned into powder and were blown away. The cold wind at night took away the cold wind, and the nearby ground suddenly became very clean.
Nangong Xiao confidently retracted his palm and said to himself: "I am already innate, but there is a cliff blocking the way ahead, making it difficult for me to climb to the top." After saying this, he squeezed his hand hard, and there was a sudden flow of air. It surged and made a whirring sound. The surrounding wind force suddenly became stronger, and the team escorting him suddenly staggered.
"A bunch of trash can't relieve the worries of an orphan." Nangong Xiao patted his mount angrily and immediately started running in the palace, panicking the guards and chamberlains to catch up with them.
At this time, only King Lu and an older-looking chamberlain with gray hair were left in the cold palace hall. This chamberlain's name was Feng Bao. He had followed King Lu since he was still a prince and was deeply trusted by him.
Now he is still the controller of internal affairs and the controller of the troops in the palace.
"A Bao, my daughter won't stop. It seems she has a very big agenda." King Lu spat out his palm from the air to one of the remaining ten men and women. The young man was immediately sucked towards him in horror, and then In an instant, the Tianling Gai fell into King Lu's palm.
A terrifying devouring force was spat out from King Lu's palm, and bursts of green smoke suddenly appeared from the boy's head. At first, he could moan, but soon he lost his strength, and then his whole body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, Transforming into a human-shaped tree bark is simply unbelievable.
The chamberlain next to him took a look and felt scared in his heart. Although he had been accompanying the king for more than twenty years, as he practiced the Zhen Sect techniques of the Paradise Sect, he became more and more evil. In fact, he He is only a few years older than King Lu, but he looks more than twenty years older.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life and is not afraid of any challenges. Your Majesty does not need to take it to heart because the Ninth Princess is ignorant." Feng Bao comforted her.
King Lu threw away the human-shaped bark in his hand, and then sucked it towards the young men and women who were shivering but did not dare to run away or resist. Suddenly a girl was sucked in with a scream.
The girl struggled slightly, but was quickly sucked clean by King Lu. She was thrown aside again and covered with the bark of the previous humanoid tree.
Then, he continued to eat until the last boy fell, and King Lu licked his lips with a little satisfaction.
As his cultivation techniques entered higher realms, the demand for the two-legged sheep also grew.
"It's a pity that some people just can't understand. My daughter was sent to practice by that damn woman since she was a child. Now she is also a member of the Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, she is somewhat incompatible with the Paradise Sect. The sect leader also asked me if I intend to let my daughter Become his Taoist companion." King Lu thought of this, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Seeing this, Feng Bao advised: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the ninth princess is your Majesty's flesh and blood. There is no need to punish her in this way. It is better to let the old slave handle it, hide it for a while, and wait until the end of this period to deal with it again." This matter."
"Okay, let her calm down. By the way, I heard that there is a monk beside her now. He seems to be quite mysterious. I don't know what his strength is, so don't be careless." King Lu reminded.
Feng Bao nodded, and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadows behind him.
At the same time, Nangong Wanhua and Ge Xian received an anonymous letter. They only needed to read the content to know who wrote it.
"The head of the national master is the certificate of surrender." Ge Xian looked at it and handed it to Nangong Wanhua.
She felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was not an ordinary person, but a national master of Lu State.
"This man is indeed a major general of the Paradise Sect. His name is Baili Qingqing. He has served as a national advisor for more than ten years. He is cruel and ruthless. He has hundreds of people from the Paradise Sect under his command to protect him all year round. His strength is said to be at the supreme level. However, In these years of greed for pleasure, it may be difficult to make any progress in cultivation." Nangong Wanhua told Ge Xian what she knew.
After hearing this, Ge Xian nodded and said: "Leave this person to me. Pay attention to the aftermath. If the country is assassinated, it will inevitably trigger a storm. How to remove us from suspicion is very important, at least until we don't get another With the clear support of the three major sects, we cannot expose ourselves.”
"Okay, leave this matter to me. You have to be careful. Although the national master's strength has declined over the years, he has too many strong people around him. If he is unable to defeat him, he would rather give up the opportunity to cooperate with the three major sects. Let's do it ourselves. Deal with the Bliss Sect." Nangong Wanhua advised.
"Don't worry, I'm confident to complete it." Ge Xian said confidently. Although the opponent is a supreme powerhouse, he has a strong confidence that his strength is not a simple initial stage.
When the elder of the Soul Palace was severely injured by the Thousand Machine Blade in the Immortal Cave, part of the power of the soul was sent into his body. He only used part of it in the human world, and it was only quickly released in the spiritual world. After nearly two years of After refining, the power of the soul has been completely integrated into his Tao body soul.
He is confident that as long as he does not encounter a supreme high-level powerhouse, he will be able to fight, and he has a good chance of winning.
The next morning after bidding farewell to Nangong Wanhua, Ge Xian sorted out the information he had obtained, quickly left the palace and rushed to Baili Wuqing's destination.
Ji Optimistic is located in the south of the west city of Lucheng, covering an area of more than ten acres. It is not large, but the layout inside is very luxurious, no less than a royal palace.
There were hundreds of people in the temple, about half of whom were members of the Paradise Sect.
Ge Xian disguised himself as a pilgrim and followed other pilgrims into the temple to burn incense. However, pilgrims and tourists could only reach the vestibule. After a brief observation, Ge Xian sneaked into the atrium without anyone noticing.
The defense here is quite tight. There are dozens of men and women patrolling and meditating. These people are divided into two types. The patrols are similar to mortal warriors, and there are also soldiers.
Those meditating were uniformly dressed in black robes, and both men and women were entangled with resentment. Ge Xian speculated that these people should be members of the Paradise Sect.
