I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 432 Wan He's Plot, the Real Murderer of the Past

The night is as cold as water.

The giant black water turtle stepped on the water ripples and flew out of the grove.

Pei Shuyuan was wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, her black hair was disheveled, the skirt of her gorgeous wedding gown was torn, her snow-white skin and slender legs were stained with mud, and she was kneeling on the broad turtle's back.

After many twists and turns, he became a prisoner again.

Her sad eyes fell on the black water turtle at her feet. Her expression was complicated and she couldn't help but fall into a brief period of infatuation and resentment.

The causes of all grievances and grudges all lie in this tortoise.

Two hundred years ago, she, a favored daughter of heaven, learned that Lu Changan had a black water turtle that was growing at an abnormal speed, and she plotted to learn his secret of taming the beast.

If this cause and effect had not intervened, with her qualifications, talent for taming beasts, and background, she would have enjoyed the sect's top-level training and would have had a great chance of conceiving a baby.

"Husband."

After a while, Fairy Xia and the other person sensed Lu Changan's presence and came to meet him.

"Master Lu, luckily we retreated quickly. Master Wanhe has already arrived at Feilong Fort to provide support, and a large number of Feihe soldiers are at the front line."

Yin Yuanhai said thankfully.

Back then on the battlefield of the demon sect, he was severely injured by Master Wanhe and was in danger.

If I were to be entangled by Master Wanhe, even if I could achieve victory tonight, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.

"Hey! This is..."

Yin Yuanhai's eyes focused and he saw the Peacock Saint on the giant turtle.

His eyes lit up and he exclaimed:
"Master Lu is really capable! He hid everything from the heavens to the seas, and kidnapped Master Black Feather's new wife without anyone noticing."

Yin Yuanhai knew Pei Shuyuan; they had met on the battlefield.

Watching it up close at this time, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It has to be said that the Peacock Saint, dressed in gorgeous attire as a bride, is exceptionally beautiful and attractive.

"Master Lu, when we were confronting Master Modao, Master Diyan took advantage of the opportunity to sneak behind the enemy and kidnap this girl?"

Yin Yuanhai thought about it for a moment and it was not difficult to guess.

Before the Nascent Soul confrontation between the two sides, he had seen Lord Di Yan, but later he disappeared without a trace.

"Yes."

Lu Changan said with a smile, without denying it.

To outsiders, this success was a strategic victory. However, in order to ensure the success of the plan, the [Black Wind Cloak] was crucial.

……

"My husband mobilized all his troops and made all the plans for the Peacock Saint."

Fairy Xia's pair of cold autumn eyes lingered on the beautiful face of the Peacock Saint for a long time, and she said expressionlessly.

Lu Changan felt that this was not right.

On the surface, it seems like he is bragging about himself, but that is not the case.

"Hey! Capturing this girl alive and avenging the past is only the most superficial purpose."

"Oh? What is my husband's real intention?"

"This matter has strategic significance. First, it can destroy the marriage between the two Yuanying enemies of Beast King Valley; second, it can humiliate Beast King Valley and force it to start the magic war again when it is not fully prepared."

"Ah."

Fairy Xia nodded in agreement, but still looked at Pei Shuyuan thoughtfully.

One has to admit that the Peacock Saint is extremely beautiful and her beauty is enough to rival her.

Moreover, the woman's identity as a bride and her gorgeous bridal attire further increased her charm and temptation.

Just look at Yin Yuanhai's eyes and you will confirm it.

Yin Yuanhai's eyes swept between Fairy Xia and Lu Chang'an, he saw the clue and his heart moved.

He suggested with a smile:
"Master Lu, this girl is useless to you and may even cause trouble. Yin is willing to offer a price to buy the Peacock Saint and bring her back to the Defense Alliance headquarters. This way it will be safer."

Yin Yuanhai could see that Fairy Xia did not like the Peacock Saint to stay with Lu Changan.

It just so happened that he was somewhat attracted to the Peacock Saint.

Yin Yuanhai had suffered a great loss at the hands of Master Wanhe, so he didn't mind whipping his granddaughter to vent his resentment.

"My husband, what Master Yin said makes sense. If this girl stays with you, she may just be a disaster."

Xia Wenyue readily agreed.

Seeing Fairy Xia's support, Yin Yuanhai was delighted and secretly praised his own wit.

By doing this, he achieved two goals at one stroke.

Firstly, it can promote family harmony between Lu Changan and Xia Xianzi.

Afterwards, they will both realize their good intentions.

Even if Lu Changan doesn't appreciate it, Fairy Xia will understand his good intentions.

Secondly, it is indeed safer to bring the Peacock Saint back to the headquarters. Leaving her near the front line is a potential unstable risk.

As for his enjoyment of the Peacock Saint, it was just a small benefit incidentally arising from the major issues and was not worth mentioning.

“Fellow Daoist Yin, the Peacock Saint Girl stays by your side because it is related to the subsequent plans of Lu and Alliance Leader Chu.”

Lu Changan looked businesslike and warned meaningfully:

"The water here is very deep. Fellow Daoist Yin cannot control himself. Don't delve into it."

"Haha! It was Yin who was rude."

Yin Yuanhai laughed.

If the other party doesn't give in, he can't force it.

He thought to himself that if Lu Chang'an kept the Peacock Saint by his side, it would inevitably affect their relationship and might create a rift in the future.

Lu Changan said seriously, "The Peacock Saint was captured as a slave, and there will definitely be a reaction from the Beast King Valley. Next, we will need Fellow Daoist Yin's help in dealing with it."

"This... According to the previous agreement, after this operation is over, Yin should return to the headquarters to report to the commander."

Yin Yuanhai hesitated, reluctantly.

Codes!

You, Lu Changqing, have kidnapped the most beautiful bride, but you are unwilling to share it with me, and you still want me to work for you?

"No problem. Lu will send a message to Alliance Leader Chu later and will get the Master's consent."

Lu Changan said cheerfully.

Yin Yuanhai's expression froze, and his heart suddenly became filled with a thousand horses galloping, with endless greetings.

He was extremely helpless and had no idea what kind of love potion Lu Changan had given to his master to gain the latter's trust.

When at the headquarters, Lu Changan conspired with Alliance Leader Chu many times, and even he, his direct disciple, was not aware of some of the inside stories.

……

In the Beast King Valley.

Above Feilong Fort, thousands of cranes spread their wings and flew, howling and dancing wildly. The wind was howling, and the monks in the city were terrified.

During the Demonic War a hundred years ago, the Wanhe Army of the Wanhe True Lord once massacred a fairy city of the Weidao League. At that time, the bodies of the monks in the city were all missing their eyeballs, and the scene was extremely horrifying.

"You useless bastard! I married my granddaughter to you, and it's been less than one night, and you've already lost her and let the thieves kidnap her!"

Inside the cave, Master Wanhe had a gloomy expression, his gray eyebrows trembling slightly, and he angrily scolded:

"Hua Biao won't stay overnight! As a husband and a newlywed groom, you still have the nerve to sit in the cave and ask for help?"

"Before dawn, no matter what the cost, I want you to get Shu Yuan back. Otherwise, how can our tribes survive in the Beast King Valley?"

Facing the reprimand from Master Wanhe.

Lord Heiyu, who was sitting cross-legged to heal his wounds, had a face full of purple, black, blue and black.

"Grandpa, my son-in-law's poison has not yet been cured, and his magic power is less than half, and his condition is even worse at that time. If I chase him hastily, I am afraid that not only will I fail to save Shu Yuan, but I will also fall into the trap of Lu the Turtle."

Black Feather Master argued bitterly.

"Humph! You have always been so cautious, how could you be tricked by Lu Changan twice?"

After scolding for a long time, Master Wanhe's expression eased a little and his anger subsided a little.

Indeed, since Lord Black Feather was poisoned, waiting for reinforcements and taking a long-term view was a more sensible choice.

"Grandpa, wait until my son-in-law recovers most of his strength, then join forces with a few True Lords to find that villain Lu Changan and get Shu Yuan back."

Master Black Feather gritted his teeth and made a solemn promise.

If Pei Shuyuan cannot be rescued.

Not only would he lose face and become a laughing stock in the demon world, but his relationship with the Pei family, to which True Lord Wanhe belongs, might also become strained.

The next morning.

True Lord Black Feather took several holy pills for detoxification and healing, and finally recovered most of his magic power.

Several True Lords from the Beast King Valley camp gathered at Feilong Castle to discuss countermeasures.

Just then, news came from scouts on the front line.

"Reporting to the True Lords and Elders, traces of Master Pei have appeared on the front line..."

"There's news about Shu Yuan. Where is she and how is she doing?"

Wan He and Hei Yu both looked delighted.

"Master Pei..."

The Jindan Zhenren who reported the incident had an abnormal look on his face and hesitated, but just handed over a jade slip of information.

"That's unreasonable!"

After reading the contents of the jade slip, the two True Lords Wanhe and Heiyu were furious.

A moment later, the four Yuanying Zhenjuns who gathered in Feilong Fort rose into the sky and rushed towards the border area in anger.

……

The area where the two major camps meet.

Many patrolling monks, scouts and spies in the Beast King Valley saw Master Pei.

There is a conspicuous platform there.

Fairy Pei, as a bride, kneels on the ground as a slave, serving Yuanying Zhenjun from the enemy camp.

Either serving tea or massaging the legs and washing the feet of Master Lu.

Even Lu Zhenjun's pet, the Rat King, enjoyed the service.

Fairy Pei knelt on the ground and brushed the fur of Di Yanjun, who had transformed into a rat demon.

The scouts in the distance and the bird spies in the sky saw this scene clearly and were greatly shocked.

The monks from the Beast King Valley were furious and gnashed their teeth, but they did not dare to go close to rescue.

Pei Shuyuan felt desolate and humiliated like never before.

She would rather become a private plaything than publicly expose her miserable status as a slave girl in front of the other cultivators in the Beast King Valley.

She wanted to commit suicide, but she didn't have the ability.

There are many restrictions on his body, and deep in his sea of ​​consciousness there is also a restriction with the mark of a translucent insect egg.

Coupled with the forced control of the Yuling Ring, she was unable to die.

What's even more shameful is.

She was still wearing her wedding attire and a torn long skirt, and was serving Lu Changan and his pet as a maid.

In order to make the slave girl's identity more obvious, Lu Changan moved the Imperial Spirit Ring to her slender neck, which was as proud as a swan.

"coming!"

Lu Chang'an sensed something and looked towards the direction of Feilong Fort.

The terrifying murderous aura emitted by the four Demon Lords was heading towards him.

"Retreat!" Lu Chang'an put away his pet, spread out the black wings behind him, and tucked Pei Shuyuan, who was dressed as a bride, under his armpit.

Wrapped in a ball of violent black wind, the light that Lu Changan transformed into was as fast as lightning.

He quickly returned to the nearest frontline town of the Wei Dao League and met up with Fairy Xia and Yin Yuanhai.

……

Soon, the four True Lords, who were filled with rage, rushed into the territory of the Wei Dao Alliance.

The formations in the important frontline towns were fully activated, and the three True Lords Lu Changan and Lord Di Yan were guarding them together without any panic.

With an equal or similar number of True Lords guarding an important town, the town would have the advantage with the help of the large formation and would not have to worry about being conquered.

"Land Turtle——"

Lord Black Feather looked at his newlywed wife who was kneeling on the ground on the city wall, his hair standing on end with anger and his face turning green and blue.

"How dare you humiliate our sect's saint girl, the elder's wife, in public? Aren't you afraid that our Beast King Valley will exterminate your entire clan one day... No! I will exterminate your entire sect!"

He threatened in a cold voice that contained extreme murderous intent.

Destroy my entire clan?

Lu Changan couldn't help but laugh.

Lord Black Feather also realized that exterminating the entire clan would have no killing power on Lu Changan.

Although there are many romantic rumors about Changqing Zhenjun in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, this guy never left any offspring.

Not only does he have no offspring, he doesn't even have any proper disciples.

True Lord Black Feather changed his words to "destroy your entire sect", but the threat was still powerless.

Lu Chang'an was not a direct descendant of Jinyun Valley at all, but a guest official and worshipper who joined halfway.

Even the monks of Jinyun Valley were certain that if they encountered a catastrophic crisis, True Lord Changqing would have already run away.

Even the closest Fairy Xia was only a concubine.

Moreover, when one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the climate has been established and is no longer a weakness, but a powerful aid.

Unlike the previous Jinyang Sect, the Jinyang Sect still has to treat the Peacock Saint, who is taken as a hostage, well, for fear of being retaliated by the Beast King Valley.

Lu Changan is not afraid of offending the Beast King Valley.

Even if the Demonic War unfortunately collapsed, he could still go to the Central Region of the Great Abyss through the transmission channel of Tinghai Pavilion. The peerless Fairy Zixia was more gentle and considerate than Fairy Xia.

Why would a man who has no weaknesses, has a way out and a backup plan be afraid of the threat from the devil?

……

"Lu Changqing! As a Nascent Soul cultivator, you secretly plotted against a female cultivator of the lower realm during the war, which violated the rules of the war of immortal cultivation."

Thousands of cranes were circling above Elder Wanhe's head, and his vigorous voice was slightly hoarse.

This old man with silver hair spoke in a calm and indifferent tone. As Pei Shuyuan's grandfather, he was not as extremely angry and murderous as Master Heiyu.

"Today, you attacked my granddaughter. One day, I will be able to plot against the cultivators of Jinyun Valley and kill the younger generation of your old friend without restraint on the battlefield of the devil!"

There was no murderous intent in Master Wanhe's words, but they still made Lu Changan feel a little nervous.

Every Yuanying Zhenjun is a top deterrent in the war of immortal cultivation.

Why there is an unwritten rule: Nascent Soul cultivators check and balance each other on the battlefield and generally will not directly attack cultivators in the lower realms.

"Old man, don't confuse me."

"The reason why I took action has already been explained before. Before I formed my infant, I had a life-and-death feud with your granddaughter. This time I am taking action to capture her because of a personal vendetta!"

"Including you, old man Wan He, who used the insider Zhu Yuting in Liang State to plot to kill me. I will also keep this grudge in my account."

Lu Changan's words made Elder Wanhe silent for a moment, leaving him unable to refute.

The personal grudge between Lu Changan and the Peacock Saint is no secret in the two major camps.

It is very normal and reasonable for a big man to take personal revenge after forming a baby in the world of immortal cultivation.

There was once a cultivator who was being hunted. After fleeing for a hundred years, he gave birth to a baby and wiped out the entire family of his enemy.

After Lu Chang'an had the baby, he did not exterminate the clan for revenge, which in a sense could be considered a kind of mercy.

……

"Lu Changqing, since you mentioned the personal vendetta against me, Shu Yuan, then——"

Elder Wan He's eyes were slightly red, but his old voice remained steady and indifferent.

He changed the subject and said in a deep voice:
"Today, in front of all the cultivators on both sides, do you dare to settle the past personal grudges with me?"

Huh?
This was beyond Lu Changan's expectations.

Master Wanhe admitted that Lu Changan's action this time was a personal vendetta and he would not break the rules or engage in unlimited revenge.

Lu Chang'an and Elder Wan He looked at each other with hawk-like eyes, but the other person's face was calm and there was no sign of any clues.

"Settle grudges and personal grudges? Haha, Elder Wanhe is old, does he want to fight with me, Lu, in a life-and-death battle?"

Lu Changan looked at the wrinkled silver-haired old man with a half-smile.

He practiced the Changqing Gong, and through his unique ability, he was able to sense the lifespan of Master Wanhe.

This old man has only lived for a hundred years and is not in his best condition. Where does he get the courage to fight with me for life and death?

"I value my life, so a life-and-death fight is not necessary. Both sides can use their spirit pets."

Elder Wan He shook his head and explained the content of the gambling battle.

"If I lose, I will admit that my granddaughter is Master Lu's slave, and I will not break the rules to retaliate."

"If I win by chance, I hope Master Lu will show mercy and return Shu Yuan to me."

Having said that, Elder Wan He took a deep breath, forced a kind smile on his face, and looked at Pei Shuyuan on the city wall.

Hearing grandpa's words.

Pei Shuyuan was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

If she could, she would rather commit suicide on the spot than let her grandfather, in his old body, fight against the young and strong Lu Turtle.

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly. Elder Wanhe's gambling battle seemed to be more beneficial to him.

Although Elder Wanhe is a top-notch veteran Nascent Soul cultivator in the Beast King Valley, his strength far exceeds that of Yin Yuanhai and the like, and he is even stronger than True Lord Liuyang.

Even Liang Shaotian suffered at the hands of Elder Wanhe.

If he explodes regardless of the cost, he might be able to confront the middle stage Nascent Soul head-on in a short period of time.

However, Lu Changan's on-paper strength still exceeds that of Elder Wanhe.

Because you can use spirit pets in gambling battles.

Lu Changan possesses a complete fourth-level demon king.

Elder Wanhe's "Wanhe Soul-Destroying Formation" can indeed fight against a fourth-order demon king and restrict Nascent Soul cultivators, but it will inevitably be inferior after a long battle.

Elder Wan He is at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, so he does have an advantage in cultivation and magic power.

However, Lu Changan had exposed a super-castrated version of the puppet army formation twenty years ago, which could completely make up for the gap in cultivation and drag the war into a protracted war.

If the war becomes a protracted one, the elderly Elder Wan He will surely lose.

"Could it be that this old man has some hidden card that can kill or seriously injure me in a short period of time?"

Lu Changan pondered in his mind and secretly practiced the fourth-level divination technique.

As a result, one feels the invisible resistance of heaven's secrets and is unable to discern the relevant cause and effect.

……

"Master Lu, whether we win or lose this bet, we won't lose anything."

Yin Yuanhai was moved and said:

"Master Lu has a better chance of winning. Once he wins, he can deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Beast King Valley and the Six Demon Sects, and boost our morale."

"If I lose, it's not a loss to return the Peacock Saint. Master Lu has already made this girl a slave and humiliated her in public. He has played his part. When the time comes, this girl will return to the Beast King Valley with a completely lost reputation, and she will definitely have a rift with that great philanthropist Master Black Feather."

According to Yin Yuanhai's analysis, Lu Changan will not lose anything and has a great chance of winning.

It’s not like you’re fighting!

Lu Changan glanced at Yin Yuanhai. This man was just watching the fun and staying out of the matter, so he was the one who would not lose out anyway.

"The bet is so good for me, why would that old man Wan He want to fight me?"

Lu Changan said in a calm tone.

"This... We are defending the important town with the help of the great formation. Wan He and the others can't do anything to us. We can only come up with this last resort."

"Besides, Elder Wan He's so-called gambling battle might just be a way for him to save face. If he loses and cannot redeem the Peacock Saint, he has already risked his life and has a clear conscience. He has an explanation to give to the outside world."

Yin Yuanhai speculated.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changan nodded slightly. If he was looking for a way out, it would make sense.

just.

This gambling proposal gave Lu Changan a sense of familiarity.

In a certain memory, there was almost a similar scene, and the result was a great loss and even lifelong regret.

……

"You guys stand back."

Elder Wanhe raised his hand, and the three demon Yuanying masters, Black Wing True Lord, Fang True Lord, and Guo True Lord, rode on their lights and retreated.

In one breath, he retreated five hundred miles and hovered in the air without concealing his tracks.

Elder Wan He kept a distance of one hundred miles from the important town.

At such a distance, if anyone wants to intervene in the gambling battle, it will be the Wei Dao Alliance that provides support first.

In this gambling battle, Elder Wan He was very sincere.

Lu Changan put his fingers behind his back and calculated secretly.

This time, he only predicted his own fortune, and due to the obstruction of the heavenly secrets of cause and effect, the conclusion was rather vague, but there were certain signs.

"Master Lu, if you still don't dare to fight me in this situation, I will call you 'Master Turtle' from now on."

Elder Wan He showed a mocking expression on his face, as if he was trying to provoke someone.

"it is good!"

Lu Changan shouted, took a step forward and stepped onto the battlement.

Elder Wan He remained calm, his eyes glancing at the corners of the town's walls.

……

In the shadow of the corner of the city wall.

A strange man with a black mole between his eyebrows and drooping eyebrows, his figure blending perfectly with the shadow in the corner.

It was unbelievable that, separated by a wall, the three Yuanying Zhenjuns in the important town did not notice his presence.

His ability to conceal himself has reached the highest level of accomplishment. Perhaps only the big boss of the Wuxian Sect can do that.

The black mole on the strange man's forehead twisted slightly, and a hint of cruelty appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The man held a sharp and ferocious long nail in his hand, which was flashing with gray-green light. It was obviously coated with poison and condensed with deadly soul-destroying power!
Since the six sects of the evil way expanded eastward, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators killed by his assassination exceeded one hand's number.

Back then, when Master Lihuo was fighting with True Lord Liuyang in a gambling battle, it was he who made the move in secret.

The purpose is to provoke internal strife within the Wei Dao League.

He held back when he attacked that time, otherwise Master Li Huo's Nascent Soul spirit would have been more seriously injured and he would have died on the spot.

Over the years, he has made great military achievements and obtained military resources from within the sect and the six sects of the Holy Sect.

He went one step further and was promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, becoming the deputy leader of Wujian Sect.

Sixty years ago.

He participated in the attack and encirclement of "Qingmu Zhenjun", causing the latter's Nascent Soul to be damaged and he fled with serious injuries.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Qingmu had the protection of a soul treasure and a very high resistance to poison, he would have almost cooperated with the Beast King Valley to completely kill this suspected practitioner of "Evergreen Art"!
