Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 456 Marquis Donglin arrives

Donglin Fucheng, Donglin Houfu.

In a secret room, Marquis Donglin sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed tightly, focusing on practice. Behind him, a fiery red unicorn shadow loomed, and a terrifying pressure spread out. If it weren't for the eight sculptures carved in this secret room. The formation pattern suppresses all the pressure in the secret room, otherwise the entire Donglin City will be affected by the terrifying pressure of Hou Donglin.

Suddenly, Hou Donglin slowly stopped his power, the fiery red unicorn shadow disappeared, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The next moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the hermitage.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door of the secret room, and then a voice came in, "Master Marquis, there is news about the matter you want to investigate. Colonel Sun is waiting in the hall."

Marquis Donglin nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the hall and wait for me, I will be there soon."

"Yes."

The housekeeper outside responded and left.

The next moment, the passage of the closed chamber slowly moved to both sides, and a door appeared.

Marquis Donglin walked out of the secret room, and the door slowly closed again.

in the hall.

Marquis Donglin walked in.

"Master Hou."

"I have seen Hou Ye!"

The butler bowed and saluted, while another lean middle-aged man next to him knelt on one knee and saluted.

Marquis Donglin nodded, waved his hand gently and said, "Get up."

After saying that, he walked to the main seat, sat down on the grand master's chair, looked at the lean middle-aged man wearing black armor and said, "Tell me, how is the news investigation going?"

The middle-aged man said: "Master Marquis, after your instructions, I went to investigate Gu Shen. Although Gu Shen keeps a low profile, we have deep roots in Donglin Mansion, so it is not difficult to find out information about him.

"And I found a very important clue. After entering the Donglin Mansion, Gu Shen had many conflicts with the Zhulong Palace. At least nearly a hundred middle-level monks from the Zhulong Palace died at the hands of Gu Shen. If you count them, The number of those candle dragon relics will probably double again."

Marquis Donglin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Did Gu Shen actually kill so many people in Zhulong Palace? Is the news accurate?"

The middle-aged man said: "Return to the Marquis, it is absolutely true."

Marquis Donglin frowned and thought, "With Zhulong Palace's vengeance style, Gu Shen killed so many of them, Zhulong Palace shouldn't let it go lightly, but didn't go to Gu Shen for revenge? It seems that Gu Shen is behind this , it’s really not that simple, there must be a powerful force that can make even the Zhulong Palace fearful, but I don’t know which party it is yet?”

In the vast territory of the Donglin Mansion, the one with the most important foundation and the most important connections is the Marquis of Donglin.

Although General Shen Chong and the Grand Master of the current dynasty were both Holy Lord-level powerhouses, they still had to rely on him, a local leader, in this land.

"Maybe we can make use of this matter, maybe there will be much to be done."

Marquis Donglin thought for a while and had some ideas in his mind. He asked Captain Sun a few more questions and asked him to retreat.

In the hall, only Hou Donglin and the old housekeeper were left. The old housekeeper just stood aside quietly, waiting for Hou Donglin's thinking and decision.

Da da da.

Marquis Donglin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a slight sound.

"The dynasty will definitely not hand over the fourth prince. This is not only about the fourth prince, but also about the face of the entire dynasty. The possibility of handing over the fourth prince is very slim.

"The most likely possibility is that they will continue to be consumed by the Zhulong Palace for a long time. After all, the Imperial Dynasty and the Zhulong Palace are both ancient holy places, and there is not much difference in strength.

"But if it continues for a long time, the general and the grand master will definitely stay in Donglin Mansion for a long time, and many eyes from the imperial court will pay attention to this place. What kind of Donglin Marquis I am?"

A war broke out between the two ancient holy places. The Daqi Dynasty sent the top military figures Shen Chong and Taishi to guard the Donglin Mansion. These two people were higher than Donglin Hou in terms of strength and status. Donglin felt suppressed. Hou was very uncomfortable. He was one of the people who most hoped that both sides would stop fighting or expel the Zhulong Palace as soon as possible and return the Donglin Palace to its previous state.

“If you want to defeat the Zhulong Palace, it will be very difficult with the strength of the Dynasty family alone.

“But this time, it’s an opportunity.

"If we can unite the forces behind Gu Shen, we may be able to force the Zhulong Palace away."

In the eyes of Marquis Donglin, what really matters is the power behind Gu Shen. As for Gu Shen himself, although he is extremely talented and is known as the supreme leader of the younger generation, since he has not yet grown up, he is nothing.

With the decision made in his heart, Marquis Donglin suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to go to the general."

"It's Lord Hou."

The old butler responded.

In the past, Donglin Hou could decide all matters in the Donglin Mansion with a single word, because he was the boss of the Donglin Mansion, but it was different now. There were two people above him who were suppressing him.

Even if he made a decision in his mind, he still had to ask for advice.

Not far from the Donglin Hou Mansion, there is a mansion with seven entrances and seven exits. It is temporarily used as the residence of General Shen Chong.

In front of the gate of the mansion, two large stone lions stood guard, powerful and domineering. In this dark night, they looked even more mysterious and majestic, enough to frighten the evildoers with evil intentions.

call out!
In a flash of rays of light, a figure suddenly appeared, causing the expression of the guard on duty in front of the mansion to change.

Swish swish!
All the guards took out the blades from their waists and were about to ask questions when they saw that the person coming was Marquis Donglin, and they all saluted immediately.

"Greetings to Marquis Donglin!"

"I've seen adults."

"Hou Donglin."

These people are all personal guards of the general. They are usually very arrogant, but when facing Donglin Hou, they are all extremely respectful. During these days of the battle with Zhulong Palace, Donglin Hou has achieved outstanding results, even in the previous battles. During that time, he also killed a supreme elder from the Zhulong Palace, who was a giant-level powerhouse.

Among the military, the most important thing is strength. Donglinhou is strong and fierce enough, and his status is extremely high, so he is naturally admired by the soldiers.

Marquis Donglin smiled slightly, enjoying the respectful gaze, and nodded slightly in response.

The old people in Donglin Mansion are always trembling in front of Marquis Donglin, because these people know that in addition to his profound cultivation, Marquis Donglin is also extremely tough in his methods. Many disobedient people have been eradicated, so they face him. Many people were very cautious when it came to Donglin Houshi, and they were not as open as the general's personal guards and the soldiers drawn from other governments.

Most of the looks around Donglin Marquis were of awe, but rarely of this kind of admiration. After Zhulong Palace invaded Donglin Mansion, perhaps the only good news for him was that he often received many respectful looks.

One soldier led Marquis Donglin towards the mansion, while the other soldier rushed forward to report to General Shen Chong.

The General's Mansion, in the hall.

Shen Chong is sitting on the Grand Master's chair. He is not tall, but has a medium build and fair complexion. Sitting there, he looks like a civil servant. It is difficult to imagine that he is the general of the dynasty and the most important person in the military. "Marquis Donglin, what's the matter with you coming here late at night?" Shen Chong said with a smile.

He is a very charming man, very dignified when he is serious, but also quite approachable when he smiles.

Marquis Donglin straightened his back and said sternly: "General, I am humbled by my duty and come here to report something to the general."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Shen Chong asked.

Marquis Donglin revealed the conflict between Gu Shen and the Zhulong Palace, and also revealed his intention to unite with the forces behind Gu Shen to fight against the Zhulong Palace.

After hearing what Marquis Donglin said, Shen Chong couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Shen would have such a big conflict with Zhulong Palace.

Nodding slightly, Marquis Donglin's analysis made sense. Although the Dynasty was strong, the Zhulong Palace was also an ancient holy land, and its heritage was no weaker than that of the Dynasty. To expel the Zhulong Palace, it would be difficult to rely solely on the Dynasty's strength. , but if we can use external force, it would be a good method.

"Can try."

Shen Chong looked at Marquis Donglin and said, "Marquis Donglin, I will leave this matter to you."

There is no one more suitable than Marquis Donglin for the affairs of the Donglin Mansion, and Marquis Donglin is highly skilled in cultivation. This matter was his idea, so it is most appropriate to leave it to him. If it is left to others, it is difficult to protect Donglin. Hou would have no objection.

Marquis Donglin nodded, "Yes."

Shen Chong said: "When you contact Gu Shen, remember to win over him and don't be too tough. If you annoy him, it will be bad."

Shen Chong knew Marquis Donglin's temperament, so he warned him.

Marquis Donglin said: "General, I understand."

Shen Chong smiled and said: "Okay, this will be the hard work of Marquis Donglin. If the matter is completed, Marquis Donglin will be the first contributor to the defeat of Zhulong Palace this time."

Marquis Donglin stood up, raised his hands and said seriously: "General, you will never disgrace your orders!"

After Marquis Donglin finished speaking, he received a few more instructions from Shen Chong and left the General's Mansion.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Marquis Donglin was secretly making plans in his mind, thinking about how to contact Gu Shen tomorrow.

"Gu Shen killed so many disciples of Zhulong Palace. With Zhulong Palace's behavior, he is just being held back by the dynasty, but sooner or later he will settle matters with Gu Shen.

"It shouldn't be difficult to impress Gu Shen tomorrow if you use your emotions and your pros and cons."

It was already getting late, and Marquis Donglin returned to his mansion. Early tomorrow morning, he would go to Shancheng to contact Gu Shen to fight against Zhulong Palace and drive Zhulong Palace out of Donglin Palace as soon as possible.

The next day, early in the morning.

Shancheng, Tongfu Inn.

At this time, no customers had come to the door yet. The shopkeeper Jin Xiangyu was leaning on the long table and yawning. Lu Xiucai, with one eye black and purple, was chewing melon seeds for Xiao Guo. If he went a little slower, he would be scolded by Xiao Guo. After a while, if he was any slower, he would get punched, which is how one of his panda eyes came about; Huang Doudou was sitting on the bench, still holding a broom in his hand, sweeping the floor casually, while teasing Li Big Eye, mocking the new dish Li Dayan developed before.

"Hey, Lao Huang, don't you have eyes? This girl is eating melon seeds. What do you want to do by sweeping up this dusty sky? Be careful, I will exclude you!"

Xiao Guo glared and scolded Huang Doudou. She was from a cultivating family in Yujing City. She was good at the book-level spiritual skill "Overwhelming Mountains". She was also the second master in Tongfu Inn. She had a seventh-level cultivation of Xudan. She was often bullied for only practicing Qi. Lu Xiucai, who was in his early stages of cultivation.

When Huang Doudou heard this, he glared back on the spot, threw away the broom in his hand, patted his chest and said, "Come on, come on, try lining up!"

Xiao Guo snorted and stopped talking to Huang Doudou, because Huang Doudou was the strongest person in Tongfu Inn, with the third level of Jindan cultivation. Normally, he could give Lao Huang a shout, but if he really took action, he would be the one to suffer. .

While several people were chatting and talking, the shopkeeper Jin Xiangyu, who had been lying on the table and yawning profusely, suddenly stood up, waving the round fan in his hand, and walked gracefully towards the door of the inn.

"Stop arguing and work hard, Lao Bai and Xiao Guo, get ready to entertain the guests."

Jin Xiangyu urged the inn guys as they walked.

Several of the waiters looked out the door and were shocked to see the middle-aged, muscular man standing outside the door.

Huang Doudou and Xiao Guo were both considered masters, but they did not notice the arrival of this middle-aged man at all.

"Tongfu Inn."

Marquis Donglin stood in front of the gate, looking at the noisy scene inside, and couldn't help but frowned. He had always been strict and couldn't stand such laxity.

"Guest officer, are you a top player or a hotel?"

A very attractive and beautiful woman came forward. From the information I learned before, this woman should be Jin Xiangyu, the shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn. Donglin Hou looked at the woman in front of him. He originally wanted to go directly. He was looking for Gu Shen, but thinking about the general’s instructions last night and the importance of this matter, he still managed to calm down and said, “Excuse me, I would like to see Mr. Gu Shen?”

Jin Xiangyu was stunned, "Gu Shen?"

Immediately, she came to her senses and said, "Are you talking about Mr. Gu?"

She only knew that the handsome young man's surname was Gu, but she didn't know his specific name.

Marquis Donglin nodded and said, "Exactly."

"I wonder who Mr. Gu is?" Jin Xiangyu wanted to investigate the situation, but saw the other party directly threw a high-grade spiritual stone. Her expression immediately changed, from scrutinizing to flattering, she turned around and urged: "Little Guo, go and ask Mr. Gu quickly, saying that this gentleman wants to see you."

Xiao Guo was well aware of the shopkeeper's wealth-obsessed nature. He looked at Marquis Donglin with a smile and said, "If you dare to ask the guest officer's name, I can inform you."

Marquis Donglin said calmly: "Just say your surname is Dong."

Maybe Gu Shen has noticed himself now.

"Dong?" Xiao Guo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "This name is quite rare."

But she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Marquis Donglin stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Even though he did not deliberately exert any pressure, his cultivation level was too high and he had been in a high position for a long time. Just standing there, his intimidating aura made people feel anxious.

Several clerks in the store gathered together and talked in low voices. They looked at Hou Donglin with solemn eyes, secretly guessing that Hou Donglin's identity must be a big shot.

During this period, some guests came to the door, but they were frightened by Marquis Donglin and silently withdrew.

After a while, Xiao Guo came down from the second floor, walked behind Marquis Donglin, and said with a smile: "My guest, Mr. Gu, please come up."

Marquis Donglin nodded slightly and stepped up the wooden ladder.
