Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 485 Deputy Leader

Everyone was in high spirits and nodded.

Even Demon Cloud Scorpion and Bloodline Yanshi, who had old grudges against each other, said that in front of the treasure of the Dragon Palace, a little hatred was not worth mentioning at all, and both of them were willing to be the deputy leader of the Dragon Stealing Alliance.

The pressure shifted to the Thousand Faces Judge.

He hesitated for a moment and then burst into laughter.

"Okay, since all my fellow practitioners trust me!"

"Then what if I become the leader for once?"

"As long as we can snatch the seven-colored dragon scales and find the Dragon Palace, we will swear an oath in front of Lord Yan Ling to share wealth and adversity. Anyone who dares to kill our brothers will be killed!"

The Thousand-Faced Judge quickly made up his mind.

Among the thirty-six thieves, he is at the forefront but not the top one.

He would never forgive himself for missing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He took a step forward and grabbed Lu Ye's hand.

"My dear friend Miyan, from now on you will be the deputy leader of our Dragon Stealing Alliance!"

"Come, let's discuss together how to deal with Du Wan and get back the seven-colored dragon scale fragments."

Lu Ye was a little confused.

How did he become the deputy leader by just talking?

"Alliance leader," he said honestly, "Aren't we going to discuss which fleet to rob in two days?"

The Demon Cloud Scorpion next to him said impatiently.

"My dear friend Miyan, how can the wealth of a fleet be as important as the Dragon Palace?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not a robbery."

Lu Ye asked back.

"If we don't take action, won't Futu Island slap us in the face?"

The Bloodline Master jumped out and shook his head violently.

"No, no, no!"

"We have all formed the Dragon Seizing Alliance. From now on, we are no longer ordinary robbery cultivators."

"What does it have to do with us if the East Sea robbery cultivators were slapped in the face by Futu Island?"

Hundred Blades Demon Net also nodded vigorously.

"Yes, even if the rest of the Thirty-Six Bandits were dead, they would not have anything to do with our Dragon Stealing Alliance."

The Thousand-Faced Judge and the surrounding Tribulation Cultivators all nodded in agreement.

Lu Ye admired it in his heart.

These robbery cultivators' shameless skills, well, can only be said to be worthy of being my allies.

He spread his hands.

"That's all the information I know. How to get the three dragon scale fragments depends on the methods of the seniors."

Master Dark Night raised his hand and said.

"Everyone, please discuss important confidential matters first."

"Please feed your blood essence into the mouth of the Word Spirit Master's magic weapon again!"

"We will establish the Dragon Seizing Alliance today."

"Anyone who dares to disclose this will be killed!"

"Those who kill fellow Taoists in internal strife will be killed!"

"Kill, kill, kill those who cannot share weal and woe!"

He swept his sharp eyes over everyone in the field, his sleeves slightly puffed up. If anyone really disagreed, Master Dark Night would really kill them on the spot.

Fortunately, all the cultivators are sensible and none of them are so heartless.

Everyone squeezed out their blood and essence and dripped it into the long tongue of Word Spirit Master, even Lu Ye was no exception.

So the ceremony was completed.

When everyone got together again, the originally tense and delicate atmosphere became extremely harmonious.

The Bloodline Yanshi and the Demon Cloud Scorpion put aside their grudges and laughed it off.

Lian Tiancanjian and Shang Tianti came over to apologize to Lu Ye.

This is about resolving internal conflicts first.

After a while.

Peace returned to the island.

The Thousand Faces Judge raises key questions.

"How do we lure out Duvan?"

"How do I obtain the reverse scale on the double-winged snake armor?"

"If the three fragments merge into one, how can we ensure that they can escape the sensing detection of various forces?"

Everyone looked at each other, and more than twenty thieves worked together to come up with some solutions that were not really solutions.

True Man Dark Night speaks first.

He was confident that he could use the Qiye Society as a tool to communicate with one of the top ten challengers and have him replace the reward from Futu Island with the scales of a two-winged snake and take out the reverse scale.

Lu Ye listened and nodded secretly.

The Qiye Society is rooted in the Sihai Tower, a huge organization that connects the East China Sea with other countries. It can indeed establish a relationship with any of the top ten geniuses.

Even if Yin Hongshuai, Jian Jin, Long Bing, Nangong Wan and other eight geniuses from the four super and four greats are not easy to bribe, there are still two other options.

There is no need to reveal the true purpose, all he needs is a set of scale armor, which is at most Nascent Soul level material.

Futu Island will not be reluctant to leave.

Some people raised the question that since Du Wan was an insider, even if he hid it from the Yuanying of Futu Island, the other party might be able to get the scales first.

The Hundred Swords Demon Net sneered at the side.

That's easy. If he gets the scales, he will definitely take the reverse scale, so that he will have three scales on his body.

Others don't know, but he knows that Du Wan was born on a small island called Tumu Island, outside the waters of Futu Island, which is home to a powerful foundation.

There are two large families with the surnames Du and Du on the island. They intermarry and support each other for many years, and have multiplied to a population of tens of thousands.

Du Wan communicates a lot with his clansmen. Although his parents are no longer around, he has a lot of nephews and nieces, and he is a man who values ​​family ties very much.

If Du Wan really got the scales and armor first, he would lead his allies to attack and plunder Tumu Island and take away Du Wan's direct relatives. He didn't believe that he would not chase after them.

Among the robber cultivators, there was a robber cultivator nicknamed Two-tailed Crocodile who sneered and added - It's just perfect, I will take care of this matter.

Everyone knows that I, the two-tailed crocodile, don't like to rob money and goods, I like to rob living men and women to practice my double-tailed scissors.

If he knew, he would be eager to catch up.

All of you contributed something to the plan, filling in the gaps and adding new bricks and tiles.

Lu Ye sighed as he listened.

Or you have to find a professional.

This group of robbery cultivators are arranged in an orderly manner, including those responsible for deception, those responsible for setting baits, those responsible for relocating and diverting attention, those responsible for frontal attack and erasing traces afterwards, and those responsible for interrogation and soul searching.

Du Wan is very fierce.

But I don't know if I can outpower the plans of a group of robbery cultivators?
Everyone has finished the discussion.

The Thousand-Faced Judge pressed down with both hands.

"Everyone, my Dragon Seizing Alliance is established today. This is a big deal."

"When the Dragon Palace opens in the future, that will be the time for us to share the wealth and glory."

"Since everyone has elected me as the leader, I will definitely lead you all to take down Du Wan."

"Everyone, it's getting late today, let's adjourn the meeting first."

"After this, please ask Taoist Black Night to make the arrangements. Contact us using the Seven Nights Token first."

"We will meet again in two days, when the Futu Island Conference ends. I will send you the new contact magic weapon."

The Taoist priest in the dark night beside him nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"Don't worry, I will modify the magic weapon after I return."

"For at least half a month, only members of our alliance can use the Seven Nights Token."

The Thousand-Faced Judge and the Taoist Priest of Darkness gave careful instructions on a few more matters.

They advised everyone to keep a low profile in the coming days and not to delay important events in the coming days.

Taoist Hei Ye also explained in detail the power of rules of the Word Spirit Lord.

Since everyone swore not to reveal this matter to others, it was equivalent to being restricted in their minds by Lord Yan Ling.

Of course, if you are talking to your allies, you can speak freely without restriction. However, if you mention it to outsiders, your spirit will immediately split and the relevant memories will be lost.

In addition, if any member of the alliance is captured and a soul search is forced, it will trigger a ban that will erase the relevant memories.

He once again warned everyone not to ignore the power of Word Spirit Master, unless you are a Divine Transformation cultivator.

The Thousand-Faced Judge and the others were in high spirits, laughing and saying that when we take over the Dragon Palace in the future, we may be able to become divine cultivators.

By this time the sky was slightly brightening.

Everyone flew away from the island.

In order to gain people's trust, several Nascent Soul Tribulation cultivators said that they would leave last and let everyone else retreat first. Among them, the first one to be arranged to leave was Lu Ye.

Lu Ye said take care and flew into the sky.

After a few miles, he silently used the power of thunder and lightning to cleanse the aura of his whole body, even burning the mask and robe he was wearing, and changed into a new one on the spot.

The sea of ​​consciousness and spiritual body were also repeatedly washed with the water from the Yulong River.

Try to avoid carrying any tracking items on your person.

Only after checking again and again that everything was correct did he leave with peace of mind.

He didn't know how long this temporary bulk alliance could last.

But as long as the alliance's first priority is to deal with Du Wan, that will be enough.

Who could have imagined that they could so easily confuse right and wrong under the Lord Yan Ling?

Have a safe journey.

Perhaps the news Lu Ye released was too shocking and the cake was rich enough; perhaps the various Tribulation Cultivators were afraid to speculate about the non-existent Nascent Soul background behind him; perhaps everyone was afraid of the power of rules of Yan Ling Zun.

Lu Ye never waited for the robbery cultivator who might track him down and kill him. He made a sound of "tsk tsk", circled a few times, and finally landed back on the island guarding the boundary.

Return to the cave.

He sat in silence with his eyes closed for about an hour.

Outside, roosters crowed and the sky began to brighten.

"Fellow Daoist Bajiao..." A voice came from outside through the stone gate, "It's time for us to leave..."

The voice was exactly that of the Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivator of Baidao Demon Net who was disguised as Baicao Jushi.

Lu Ye waved his hand and the cave door opened.

I saw that the Tenth Tribulation Xiu Baidao Mowang had changed into the face of an honest middle-aged man with a small medicine hoe hanging from his waist.

He stood there, looking refreshed, his eyes full of joy, probably because he had obtained the exact clue about the Dragon Palace and was thinking about the good days to come.

Lu Ye smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Baicao, I see that you look happy and your palace of blessing is shining. It's obvious that something good is going to happen."

"Why are you happy?"

Mr. Baicao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Is it so obvious?"

"It's nothing serious. I looked through the jade slips last night and deduced the ratio of an ancient elixir, so I'm very happy today."

"Haha, my Qi cultivation skills are still not good enough, and you saw through it at a glance."

Lu Ye knew very well that this ancient recipe might be the Dragon Palace, but he did not expose it.

The two of them went to find the island owner, Master Wang.

Master Wang had been waiting for a long time and invited the two to sit down and have a drink.

The three of them then flew into the air and headed towards Futu Island.

The situation on the road was exactly the same as yesterday. The sky was almost entirely covered with escaping lights. The cultivators on the road were still discussing the performance of yesterday's genius.

"It seems that Futu Island is the largest sect in the East China Sea. I didn't expect that the other geniuses are inferior to the Seven Sons of Futu."

"Alas, this is wrong. Du Wan is Du Wan, and he cannot represent the overall level of the Seven Sons."

"Brother, you may not know that Du Wan's performance in the Ladder of Inquiry is not the best among the seven Yuanying beginners."

"Hiss, is that so?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Baicao Jushi's face.

Lu Ye glanced at him and thought that after they landed on the island, it would not be long before the information from Panzi Island last night would be revealed, right?
The information about cheating on the Ladder of Inquiry on Futu Island was revealed. Everyone fed their essence and blood to the Lord of Words and swore an oath, promising not to resell the goods.

After a while.

Everyone flew to the island.

Not long after.

The leaves of the towering trees rustled and shook, producing the sound of the Supreme Dao, and the countless branches on the treetops seemed to come alive and droop down.

All the practitioners were just like on the first day, now familiar with the route, finding their own leaves and sitting down.

The eight geniuses including Yin Hongshuai, Jian Jin, Long Bing, Nangong Wan, etc. in the front, as well as the four super forces and the four major sects behind them, were sitting on the branches and leaves near the towering trees and had arrived long ago.

These eight people did not look very good.

I went down the ladder of conscience yesterday, and naturally the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

For example, Hong Yin and his companions won the first place but lost to Du Wan. They were naturally angry when they returned and suspected that Futu Island had cheated.

However, even someone as arrogant as Hong He was could not question Futu Island in person, so he could only swallow his two followers in anger.

As for Shuai Bufan, Jian Qiuyi and Jin Tianwang, it would be fine if they were not as good as Du Wan, but they were even worse than Hong He and Yin Yijia, and they were all depressed.

Of course the one whose Taoism was most shaken was "Crown Prince Long Bing". This eldest princess went to the battle on behalf of her brother and thought she could easily capture the enemy. However, she found out that she was only at the third level of the first rank. After returning, she was already considering whether to return home.

On the other hand, Nangong Xing and Wan Caiyi looked calm.

One of them is the new leader, who believes in the power of the organization and thinks that one cannot go far on his own; the other is the most handsome monk among them, and his path of practice is different from others.

The two are not obsessed with temporary success or failure.

At this time, the long tree trunks in the air slid down like snakes.

Qingyangzi, Iron Swordsman, Cloud Piercer, Du Wan, and Cheng Bingyan were still standing on the leaves.

Of course, there is also the scene of the conference.

It was a ball of flesh and blood, a winged snake supported by several branches like a five-horse dismemberment shape, and a whole set of scales on the ball of flesh and blood were flying in the wind.

After a day and a night, the fuzzy mass of flesh drooped its head, as if dead. There was no movement, and no evidence of breathing.

The Iron Swordsman stretched out his hand and a vine appeared in his hand. He pulled it down hard, hitting the blurry mass of flesh and blood.

Countless pieces of blood and flesh were blown away, and the two-winged snake screamed, proving that it was still alive.

In its screams.

Qingyangzi, with a smile on his face, stepped forward and bowed to greet everyone.

"I've met fellow Taoists!"

"Thank you for watching yesterday."

"Fortunately, on the Ladder of Inquiry, all the participants were mentally resolute and unyielding."

"More than 500 cultivators will eventually compete to become 50 of our East Sea elites."

"This shows that there is someone to take over the East China Sea..."

Qingyangzi once again emphasized the danger and importance of yesterday’s Ladder of Inquiry, and then introduced today’s second level, Hundred Trees Cave.

His sleeves dropped.

A bright mirror flew out from his sleeve, and the mirror expanded to a square of more than ten feet in diameter, emitting bright light, and reflecting a scene inside.

Then I saw a green light in the mirror.

If you look closely, you will see that this is a large natural prison cell, with twisted tree roots as a cage.

First there was a roughly straight road several meters wide in the middle, and then cages about a meter square appeared on both sides.

The tree roots hang down to form a prison cell, through which you can see the scenery inside, where a monk or a demon is imprisoned.

The room was extremely simple, with nothing else except a meditation cushion.

The large prison cell here is divided into hundreds of small rooms, most of which are used to imprison human monks or sea creatures.

There are numbers like Ding 1, Ding 2, etc. nailed on each cell.

Most of the T-shaped prisoners are docile and numb, but there are also some that are ferocious and arrogant. These people's cultivation has not been abolished, but there is a natural green tree array in the cave that absorbs their magic power all the time and at the same time blocks the input of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

So they are in a very weak state.

The picture on the Dongming Mirror changed again, and the Prison C and Prison B appeared in turn. The prisoners here were much more ferocious.

The Bing Prison was divided into about two hundred small cells, most of which were filled with prisoners. Some of them were constantly shouting and cursing, and judging from their lip movements, they didn't seem to be praising the humane management of Futu Island, the reasonable diet, etc.

When we arrived at the Yi Prison, there were only eighty cells. The rooms were larger and most of the monks imprisoned inside were sitting cross-legged.

Long tree roots emerged from the ground and tightly locked their ankles.

The Dongming Mirror turned again and arrived at the Jiazi Prison.

There are only twenty cells in the Jiazi Prison, and these cells are as spacious as the caves of monks.

The prisoners inside were all tied up and pierced by tree roots and pinned to the ground.

Their bodies were covered with green leaves and flowers, with branches sticking out of them, as if they had merged with the tree and grown in the cell.

If it weren't for the fierce light flashing in these people's eyes and the occasional burst of demonic power or magic power, everyone would have thought they were dead.

Some people with quick brains suddenly came to their senses.

The two-winged snake was probably imprisoned here in the first place, so when it was pulled out, it looked like it was coexisting with the tree.

At this time, the picture in the Dongming Mirror changed again.

A mysterious space appeared above the No. A prison cell.

Among them, more than twenty tree people were seen sitting cross-legged around a huge tree root with their eyes closed. Green light was surging upwards from the tree root, and rich spiritual energy was emanating.

Their skin was green and cracked, and their hair was flying like tree branches, making it impossible to tell whether they were men or women.

But they were all wearing Taoist robes and didn’t look like tree spirits that had cultivated into human form.

The most amazing thing was that a Nascent Soul appeared on the heads of all these tree people. The Nascent Souls were divided into male and female, young and old, but they were pure green in color, and their facial features did not resemble the original tree person below at all.

It looks very strange.

The cultivators below were looking up, and exclamations were heard from time to time.

"So this is the natural prison of Futu Island's Hundred Trees Cave. The towering trees have bound and trapped thousands of villains with their roots. It is also the trial ground for the island's disciples."

"The D-number is for Qi training prisoners, C-number is for foundation building, B-number is for golden elixir, and A-number is for Nascent Soul. The higher the numerical ranking, the stronger the strength."

"Look at number 10. I know the imprisoned criminal. He is the brother of the Demon Cloud Scorpion, who is ranked 13th. He is the Ghost Cloud Scorpion, who is ranked 14th."

"But they had a falling out over the uneven distribution of spoils, so they were ranked separately. They were not as close as the Gold Horn and Silver Horn brothers. It turned out that they were imprisoned here."

"Could those tree people be the legendary enemies captured by the ancestors of Futu Island, whose bodies were reshaped and whose intelligence was wiped out except for their combat instincts?"

"Yes, that's true. However, these tree babies cannot leave the towering trees. If they do, they will be punished by heavenly thunder and turn into ashes."

"That's pretty impressive. Whoever wants to attack Futu Island would be desperate seeing so many tree babies?"

"Futu Island is indeed a super sect. It has detained so many villains on its own. If they were all released, I'm afraid it would bring disaster to the East China Sea."

"Hiss... Why do I feel like the towering tree is robbing these people of their magic power?"

"Hush... Do you want to die? How dare you talk nonsense?"

Qing Yangzi smiled and waited until the noise from the cultivators died down before speaking loudly.

"Everyone, today's rules are simple. I will activate the formation to remove the shackles of the Hundred Tree Cave villains and give them half a day to recover their strength."

"Then all of you elites who have passed the first level just need to enter and kill a prisoner of the same level within one hour!"

"Because there are not enough Yuanying prisoners, we will choose some tree infants as substitutes, which will be enough for every challenger."

"Since no one objects, I, the old Taoist, will lift the formation restrictions first!"

He made a seal with his hands, chanted a spell, and slapped the tree.

In the clear mirror.

In the Hundred Trees Cave and in the Prisons labeled B and A, the tree roots were seen falling off and retreating, and countless criminals regained their freedom.

Some of the fierce ones immediately attacked the prison without even caring about recovering their magic power.

Unfortunately, these tree roots were integrated into the towering tree, and the green light shining from it bounced them back fiercely.
