Chapter 503: The Du Family is Destroyed, and the Battle Moves to the Other Side Overnight

"The ancestor has passed away!"

The shouts continued.

There was sadness, but more of it was fear.

Outside the door, Zhao Xianda and the elders of Lushan Sect looked at each other.

"Break the door!"

At Zhao Xianda's command, several men from the Duwei Division immediately picked up thick logs, exerted their hidden strength, and rushed out.

At the same time, there were figures who drew their swords, accelerated in three or two steps, and used the force to leap onto the wall.

boom!
As the men from the Duweisi jumped onto the wall, the heavy black wooden door inlaid with copper was knocked open.

This can also be considered as the tactic of the Duwei Division.

Attacking from both sides at the same time can make the defender lose sight of one side while focusing on the other.

However, they found that it was not necessary.

The Du family was a powerful family with countless servants to guard their house. They had a say from the Prince of Shu's palace to the government offices throughout Shu.

The people of the Du family were arrogant and domineering. Even when they found themselves surrounded by the Duwei Division, they still believed that their ancestor could ask someone to come to the rescue.

So, a group of people were organized to guard it.

Originally they were quite confident, but when they heard the news that their ancestor had passed away, they were suddenly in a state of confusion.

"Whoever moves will die!"

The members of the Duwei Division rushed in like wolves and tigers, directly killed several people who resisted, and shouted loudly.

The remaining people panicked and threw away their weapons.

"Step aside!"

Zhao Xianda strode forward, pushed away the servant who was foolishly blocking his way, and led his men straight into the back hall.

The Du family had quite a few members, but after the death of their ancestor, they scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. They completely lost their momentum and were quickly controlled by the Duwei Division.

The people from the Lushan Sect naturally followed in.

They all had gloomy faces and murderous eyes. They used their magical powers to wander around the Du Mansion.

To be honest, they just wanted to establish their authority.

The Lushan Sect is very famous, but in order to gain a foothold in Shuzhong, it must have real power without offending too many people.

After all, Emei and Qingcheng are the real mountains.

The followers of the Ghost Cult are undoubtedly the best targets.

“There’s a problem here!”

Soon, they made a discovery.

They broke directly into a remote house, and the people from the Duwei Division also heard the news and followed closely behind.

“Who lives here?”

"Reply...Reply to the magistrate, this is the Third Master's house."

"What about others?"

"I went out to do some work a while ago and I haven't seen him since."

The Duwei Division arrested people and interrogated them.

The sorcerers of the Lushan Sect searched carefully and finally found a secret passage near the rockery of the house.

After opening it, the stench of corpses was overwhelming, and they were all women.

When the servants saw this, they all trembled.

The third master of the Du family is fond of women, and everyone in the Du family knows it.

Moreover, the third master of the Du family has another problem. The women he brings into his house will basically disappear very quickly.

The woman’s family members who came to find her later were either silenced by money or encountered bandits for unknown reasons. In any case, they were suppressed.

Naturally, the servants of the Du family did not dare to ask more questions.

"It's a sorcery, it's used as a cauldron!"

The people from the Lushan Sect examined the body and quickly came to a conclusion.

Zhao Xianda also hurried in at this time and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After all, the Du family has deep roots in Shu and is connected to some officials and princes in the Shu Palace.

The emperor is far away and they cannot leave any trouble behind if they do something.

With this evidence, the Du family is completely finished.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianda said again: "Elder Wang, there are some things here that I want you to see."

The person he called was an elder sent by the Lushan Sect this time.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

The people from Lushan Sect didn't waste any words and followed Zhao Xianda away.

The Du family's house is truly amazing, occupying nearly half of Luzhou city. Although it is beyond the rules, it is built in the name of a wine cellar and connects several areas.

The crowd walked all the way and came to the largest courtyard in the Du family's backyard.

The buildings here are all Hui-style buildings combined with Shu style, with white walls and black tiles, surrounded by bamboo forests, and very quiet.

Everyone came to a hall, where they saw many gorgeously dressed men and women, young and old, gathered, all of whom were from the top floors of the Du family.

At this moment, they were all silent, with disheveled hair, tied up and kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of fear.

When disaster strikes, those who can call the wind and rain on a daily basis will be no better than ordinary people.

Zhao Xianda was too lazy to pay attention to them. He led the people from Lushan Sect directly to the lobby and looked at a corpse on the ground.

He was an old man in fancy clothes.

He has aged beyond recognition, is skinny, has dry white hair, crooked nails, and charred and shrunken skin.

It looks like an old zombie.

According to common sense, this kind of person should have died of old age long ago, but he is still alive today. This is obviously abnormal. If it were in the eyes of ordinary people, he would be considered a monster.

But the ancestor of the Du family is still alive today.

What was even more bizarre was that the other person's head had been separated from his body with a clean cut, a cold and sinister aura lingered about it, and his skin also looked a little different.

"It's a head-changing sorcery!"

The elder of the Lushan Sect frowned, "I have heard of this technique. It was popular in the Tang Dynasty and could extend life, but it has many hidden dangers. It seems to be related to the Flying Head Liao. I didn't expect it to appear again now."

"Elder Wang, what is this..."

Zhao Xianda tore open the clothes of the Du family's ancestor again.

All I saw were scars on his chest and abdomen, as if he had been frostbitten, with some frost still remaining, forming a chain-like shape.

"This is a ghost who has been seduced by a living ghost!"

Elder Wang's eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly, "This old ghost is a sinister criminal. It seems that someone has been eyeing him for a long time, and took advantage of our distraction to grab the first move."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to the Du family members, and shouted: "What else do you know?"

"Injustice!"

The Du family members immediately knelt down and cried out for justice.

They are all people in the open, and to be honest, they still don’t know what’s going on.

After asking clearly, the elder of Lushan Sect hurriedly asked, "Think about it, who does this old ghost usually get close to?"

"Also, that one isn't here now?"

"Two days ago, Third Uncle took his people away. Just now, the ancestor arranged for some people to leave. Then, there was a sudden scream for help, and the whole hall became dark. When we came in, it had become like this..."

After listening to the Du family's confessions, Zhao Xianda and Elder Wang looked at each other.

"Go to the dock and chase!"

"Release the falcons and search the nearby mountain paths!"

At the command, troops from both sides were mobilized in large numbers.

However, when they reached the dock, they saw ships coming and going on the river and had no choice but to turn back.

The Luzhou wharf was too prosperous, and most of the remnants of the Du family had already fled, and no one knew where they had gone.

At this moment, hawks and falcons were flying in the sky.

"Report!"

The spy from the Duwei Division came to report immediately.

"Reporting to the Lord, we have discovered something in the river near Tuojiang River!"

"Go and see!"

Everyone hurriedly boarded the boat, and in less than half an incense stick of time, they arrived at the Tuojiang River port, a remote waterway.

I saw a broken boat overturned in the river, and the water was full of dead bodies, some of which were cut in half or had big holes in their bodies.

Even the hull was almost blown in two, with charred marks like tree branches. "What a powerful thunder technique!"

After investigating for a while, Elder Wang of the Lushan Sect shook his head and said, "He is a master. Not only is he a living ghost messenger, he is also good at using thunder magic and his martial arts are amazing. He should be an old senior of the Xuanmen."

"Old-timer?"

Zhao Xianda seemed to be thinking about something.

In his mind, another figure emerged.

At that time, during the attack on the Dragon King Temple in Chongqing Prefecture, although the Duwei Si was hiding his head, he was ordered to spy on the side and get intelligence...

Dozens of miles away, on the river.

There are two rivers to the north of Luzhou. One is Tuojiang River, which leads to Zigong and Neijiang and is relatively spacious.

The other is the Lesixi River, which has a narrow channel and flows northeast, directly reaching the vicinity of Dazu.

A speeding ship was sailing against the wind.

Although the boatman was old, he was an expert. While adjusting the sail, he said, "Sir, are you done?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Standing on the deck was Li Yan.

He smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is something urgent going on in Dazu, please hurry up, I will double the boat fare."

"Good Le!"

The boatman was immediately cheered up when he heard this.

Li Yan turned his head and looked towards Luzhou City with a cold look in his eyes.

After destroying the physical body of the demon god Zuo Shouquan in Shilong Village, he left immediately. Unexpectedly, he met a member of the Du family halfway.

This person is the Du family's contact person in Neijiang. Because something happened to the Du family, he came to Shilong Village to inform them, and he is a ghost cultist.

When Li Yan saw it, he was immediately shocked.

He thought that after all the demonic energy in his left hand was taken away, the people from the Du family, as accomplices, would not be able to escape death.

But unexpectedly, it freed them from their shackles.

But think about it, the evil god Zuo Shouquan has been suppressed in Luofeng Mountain, and he still needs these people to offer sacrifices to him in order to gain the power to escape, so naturally they will not let them be eradicated.

The same situation should have happened to the Flying Head Liao back then.

After discovering this, he took a speedboat to Luzhou overnight, and taking advantage of the siege by the Duwei Division and the Lushan Sect, he used his escape skills to sneak into the Du family and sent the ancestor of the Du family to the underworld.

This old ghost is indeed a sinister criminal.

Unfortunately, the ancestor of the Du family was too smart. He knew that the situation was hopeless, so in order to preserve the flame, he let at least two or three groups of people leave.

He defeated two groups, but the other group escaped along the Yangtze River and no one knew where they went.

Thinking of this, Li Yan held the certificate in his arms.

Finally, there was another order in the certificate.

This is the biggest gain from this trip to Luzhou.

With this item, you can summon soldiers from the underworld.

It can be regarded as another trump card...

Just as Li Yan was rushing to Dazu, a huge cargo ship was also heading towards Ezhou.

The atmosphere in the dark cabin was depressing.

The candlelight was dim, and several figures were silent.

"I just got the news that the ancestor has passed away."

"Damn it, how about we go back and take revenge..."

Snapped!
A heavy slap was heard.

"Idiot, what are you going to use to take revenge? Can you afford to offend that evil spirit, or is it easier to offend the Lushan Sect? You will only die if you go back!"

"I heard that those people from the Ghost Cult are helping the Yang family in the southwest..."

"Don't even think about it. The Yang family is at the end of their rope and won't survive for many days. Without the Du family's foundation, we will just be scapegoats if we go there."

"Fourth brother, this won't work, and that won't work either. Where can we go? Are we just going to stay here like mice from now on?"

"Let me think about it...where is this ship going?"

"They are from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. I manipulated them. They were originally going to Jinling, and then go to Lingnan to sail to Southeast Asia."

"Just go to Nanyang!"

"I don't think I can stay in Shenzhou anymore. I might as well go to Southeast Asia and fight for a way to survive."

"That's right. I heard from those who went out to sea that there is a flying head technique in Nanyang. I guess it was those who left the Central Plains back then..."

.........

Li Yan was naturally unaware of the conspiracy of the remnants of the Du family.

He sailed north, non-stop day and night, and after two nights and one day, he finally arrived near Dazu at nightfall.

"Sir, we are here..."

As soon as the old boatman came out, he found that the people on the deck had disappeared.

There were only two large ingots of silver on the deck.

The young boatman looked at the dark river around him and felt uneasy. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle San, we...were we not going to run into something unclean?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The captain came to the deck, picked up the silver, his pupils shrank, and said in a deep voice: "Don't tell anyone about this guest. Keep it all to yourself!"

The two apprentices were a little confused at first, but when they followed the captain's gaze, they immediately swallowed their saliva.

Under the two ingots of silver, there were burnt black dents on the wooden board, which fit the silver perfectly, and it was obvious that someone had pushed it in...

…………

Call ~
The wind was howling and human figures were flashing.

Although the sudden salt snow in Shu was quite large, it only lasted for two days before stopping.

The snow has melted in crowded places.

But in this wilderness, the ground is still white.

The figure whizzed past in the strong wind, blowing up the snow on the ground. If you look down from a high place, it looks like a snow dragon, shuttling through the wilderness and ridges.

Li Yan almost pushed the armor horse to its limit.

Because of the intense evil energy, the armor horse even began to get hot.

When he was near Neijiang, he received another message from a falcon.

Although Sharifei's character improved greatly, it was still a "charnel ground" after all, and he had never practiced any tantric methods, so his condition was getting worse and worse.

The ceremony must be performed as soon as possible.

However, Li Yan was still somewhat worried about the "Charnel Ground", so even if he had to take a detour, he had to get a Gangling Order first to deal with unexpected situations.

After another half hour, the surrounding mountains began to rise.

twitter!
A familiar eagle cry was heard in the night sky.

Li Yan knew that he had been discovered by Lu San, so he followed the sound of the falcon in the sky and headed towards a high mountain in the southeast.

When they reached halfway up the hill, a figure leaped over.

It was Lu San who came to pick them up.

"San'er, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Yan took off his armor and horse directly, without any further ado, gave Lu San a big hug, and they patted each other on the back.

"What's going on now?"

"I'm in a dream again, shouting and killing..."

The two talked and chatted, and soon arrived at a small house in the bamboo forest.

The Yu family's father and son were not asleep either. They were waiting outside. When they saw this, they hurried over to greet them.

"This must be Mr. Li..."

Although they had never met each other, they knew Li Yan's name.

"Thank you both for your help."

Li Yan didn't waste any words. He bowed solemnly and strode into the thatched cottage, then frowned.

I saw Sharifei lying on the bamboo bed, his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched tightly, and he kept muttering:

"Get out, get out!"

"Look, grandpa will chop you off!"

Without saying a word, Li Yan stepped forward, held Sha Lifei's hand, pinched the magic formula, and used his magical powers to investigate.

Unfortunately, there was nothing abnormal in Sharifei's body.

However, the jade sceptre given by the Dragon Girl trembled slightly again...
