Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 14: Yunyou Temple, Haotian Palace

"Speaking of which, how should we deal with this village in front of us to avoid the formation of the 'ruin' that the Taoist priest mentioned?" Shi He pondered for a moment and said.

"Simple, my friend, you know that the formation of this ruin is not simple. After thousands of years of research, the predecessors have also summarized some laws," Xiaoyaozi smiled and said, "Especially among the many treasures left by the predecessors in my temple, there is an article that studies the formation and laws of the ruins in detail."

Shi He asked calmly, "I wonder what the temple that Taoist Xiaoyaozi is talking about is..."

"Yunyou Temple," Xiaoyaozi said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. My Yunyou Temple is not well-known, and the population is sparse. It is far inferior to the other powerful sects in the Northern Territory, especially Haotian Palace. Its reputation resounds throughout the Northern Territory. Even if it is placed in the Eastern Territory, it is considered a very powerful sect."

"Yunyou Temple, Haotian Palace" Shi He chewed these words over and over again, with a little more eagerness in his eyes.

"Shanghe County only has a few hundred thousand people. For example, Yuan Hongri, who is at the ninth level of the mortal body realm, is already considered a top-notch existence. But in this northern border, he is just an ant."

"This world is so wonderful, how can I, Shi He, stay in this tiny place, sit in a well and watch the world, waiting for the end to come?"

Shi He's heart was pounding and his blood was boiling.

The Taoist priest Xiaoyaozi in green robe had been paying attention to Shi He. When he sensed the fluctuation of his blood and energy, a hint of admiration quietly emerged in the depths of his pupils.

In an instant, Shi He calmed down his restless blood and qi, and returned to his previous reserved and calm appearance. He looked at Xiaoyaozi, smiled and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts today, Taoist priest. I just realized that this world is so wonderful."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I only regret that I have lived in poverty for decades, but have not been able to appreciate the vastness of the world and its extraordinary splendor."

"My friend, you are obsessed with appearances. You are only over 70 years old. Seeing you today, you have also emerged from your cocoon and become a butterfly, reborn. Given time, you will surely achieve great success."

Xiaoyaozi clapped his hands and chuckled, then continued to talk about the formation of the "Ruins":

"It is said that these ruins are mostly formed in remote villages and temples in the suburbs. Three conditions must be met at the same time: the lives of several people, the souls of monsters, and the blood of animals."

Xiaoyaozi raised three fingers, representing three conditions: "If these three conditions are met at the same time, it will take two or three days at the fastest, or several months at the longest, to form a 'Xu'."

Just as Shi He and Xiaoyaozi were talking, in a mansion not far from the Black Water Gang's headquarters.

In the study, Situ He, the deputy leader of the Blackwater Gang, was looking at the documents on the table thoughtfully.

"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the half-open door, and a man walked in. It was Situ He's nephew, Situ Lan.

"Uncle," Situ Lan, who was wearing a flowery dress, walked quickly to Situ He's side, bent down, and said respectfully, "Third Uncle is here."

"Let him come." A slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Situ Lan nodded and walked out the door.

A tall and burly black shadow appeared at the door. His huge body blocked the light coming in from outside the door, making his muscular and powerful arms more prominent.

"Brother." The man called out in a muffled voice.

"Brother Yuan is here? Sit down!" Situ He looked up, a smile appeared on his face, and pointed casually at the large carved chair in front of him.

"Brother, I won't sit down. Didn't you say the situation was urgent?" The burly man called Yuandi responded in a low voice.

Situ He smiled and looked at his third brother. This half brother did not have the surname Situ. Instead, he had the same surname as his mother, Zhou, and a given name, Yuan. Ren Yuan Hongri could never have imagined that the two deputy leaders of the Black Water Gang both had the blood of the Situ family.

What Shi He said before was not false. The vast majority of the Black Water Gang, from the deputy gang leader, the person in power, the helmsman to the ordinary gang members, all belong to the Situ family.

Situ He believed that Yuan Hongri must know this, but he was still helpless, because the huge system support of the Blackwater Gang would inevitably fall apart once Situ He was dismantled.

Therefore, Yuan Hongri was not unwilling, but he did not dare!

These people are Situ He’s confidence!

However, the two deputy leaders of the Blackwater Gang, Situ He, were stationed in the Shanghe County headquarters, while Zhou Yuan was sent to the Guangze County branch.

But now, Zhou Yuan appeared in Shanghe County.

"Well," Situ He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Do you know this person named Shi He?"

"I know," Zhou Yuan said bluntly, "Brother, I heard everything from Lan'er on the way. Just tell me what you plan to do next."

He looked at Situ He seriously and said, "I, Zhou Yuan, am a warrior. I don't want to understand those thoughts. Big brother, just tell me directly. I will do whatever you say!"

After hearing this, Situ He smiled even brighter. He pointed at Zhou Yuan and said, "You, you have been the deputy gang leader for so many years, but your temper has not changed. How can I hand over the Situ family to you in the future?"

"Brother, you are joking. Don't we still have Lan'er?" Zhou Yuan showed an honest smile.

"Lan'er, humph, this guy goes to that pleasure boat to play every day. I think sooner or later he will be exhausted and fall on a woman's white belly," Situ He restrained his smile and accused her with a disappointed look.

"Isn't that what young people do? When we were young, didn't we also like this taste?" Zhou Yuan persuaded, "Besides, Lan'er's cultivation is not lagging behind. I see that he is already at the sixth level now. At this age, he has reached this level. Even in Taining County, he is considered to have some qualifications.

"Don't you know how he got that level of skill? Without mastering martial arts, he's just a show-off." Situ He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and then changed the subject, saying in a deep voice:

"Now that you understand everything, you should set off immediately, ride on Qingzhui, cripple the limbs of Shihe, and bring him back to our farm outside the city."

"The disciples of Gang Leader Yuan, and a few people from the Black Water Hall." Zhou Yuan asked with a questioning look.

"Kill him directly," Situ He said coldly with a sinister look on his face, "That old guy actually dared to scold me openly. Hey, tit for tat, just kill his disciple and teach him a lesson."

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhou Yuan and warned him, "Remember to keep your hands and feet clean, don't let others know that it was you who did it. To be on the safe side, don't take your Black Shark gun out, go get a sword from the family arsenal."

"Understood." Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice.

After leaving the study, Zhou Yuan ran into Situ Lan, who was feeling very uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "Lan'er, why are you still here?"

Situ Lan smiled and said in a low voice: "I'll take Uncle San down to get a good knife. And Qingzhui, that horse recognizes me, hehe."

Zhou Yuan glanced at him and said nothing, but a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.
