The Spirit World

Chapter 473 Greedy and Careless Volume [Act ]

In this world, there are indeed many sugar-coated bullets that use sophistry and rhetoric to cover up the truth that harms others.

Of course, damage is the wrong word.

It should be destroyed.

In the eyes of many people, these rhetoric and conspiracy are all left over from our ancestors. A long time ago, someone wrote the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and a long time ago, someone used sugar-coated bullets, and even held a Hongmen Banquet.

It’s just that people nowadays are more determined and willing to break off relations with the perpetrators.

Visitors to Longzhong City would never have dreamed that they would have no chance of meeting the Great Demon King of the First Heaven, even though there was such news, and this news really existed.

The person who blocked them in the Crescent Bay outside Longzhong City was the director of the Pacification Department, the White Deer King Li Lusheng, who was responsible for suppressing the infection of the demonic energy. No one could have imagined that Li Lusheng's intervention would be so tough and even unreasonable, blocking the entire Longzhong City and catching the first great demon king in a jar.

As a result, all the practitioners who came for the First Great Demon King and hoped to gain some benefits, or even take a look at the true appearance of the First Great Demon King who was like a disaster three thousand years ago in the legend, all came back empty-handed.

Faced with the sudden human intervention, Chang Yufeng was also ruthlessly turned away. Whether he wanted to see Lan Luo because he wanted to find out the truth or to plan for his own plan that was abandoned by Xun Huangying, it seemed that he could no longer break in head-on. In this cold and freezing weather after being driven out of Longzhong City, someone happened to guess what Chang Yufeng meant, and he wanted to see Lan Luo. That person was Bai Yutang, who always greeted him with a smile, was elegant, and behaved quite familiarly.

Chang Yufeng believed that Bai Yuting must have been sent by Xun Huangying or someone related to him as the "Behind the Scenes" to assist him in killing Lan Luo.

On the question of whether to kill Lan Luo, whether it was the prophecy of Sijuan or Lan Luo's help, this issue caused a great ideological struggle in Chang Yufeng's mind.

But no matter what, there is no way to solve this mystery without getting close to Lanluo.

What awaits everyone is the final chapter of intertwined destinies.

What choices will Chang Yufeng, Xun Huangying, Chen Lin, Lan Luo, Li Lusheng, Ju Junyi, and even Bai Yutang, who just met, make in this major event? Can Chang Yufeng escape the torrent of fate?

【Greedy and Careless Volume·Opening】

The ice-blue flowers are like the unforeseeable future. They carry with them the coldness condensed from ice crystals, floating in the sky above Longzhong City. The crystal clear ice crystals are scattered over Longzhong City like a shining sky descending.

Like the tears of the gods in heaven, accompanied by wind and snow, it swept across the empty Longzhong City. The ice-blue flower was spinning slowly, and the visible blue cold air was flowing in this blooming ice flower, emitting a biting cold light.

[Act 1: The sky changes in Longzhong City, and the cold wind startles the deer’s cry]

"Everyone! Alert! Seal off the city immediately! Let them retreat!"

Li Lusheng roared, and all the deployed people began to move. They jumped between the roofs and blocked the entire city one after another. He angrily left Xu Jiaqing's mansion. In the Xu family compound, the ice-blue flower was flowing quietly. The blue light stabbed in Li Lusheng's eyes. He went from anger to calmness, and only got closer to this ice-blue flower of death. While he looked up at the sky, he put his right hand back and pressed his wrist. A jade-white spear suddenly appeared.

The spear body is like jade, with winding and delicate lines on the spear body that go straight up to the spear head. The spear head is also made of blue steel like jade. The wrist-sized spear head has a square cone pointing straight to the top of the spear head. The spear tip goes down along the square lines, with red silk-wrapped nodes making the spear more gorgeous and brighter.

There are a few lines of small words engraved below the node.

There is a saying that [the world is clear and white jade is the cry of deer]

This gun is called [White Deer Drink]

Li Lusheng held the White Deer Drink in his hand, with the long handle resting on his shoulder, making his broad back look more upright. He looked up and saw the snow flying all over the sky, like white and colorful stars falling.

"Who is coming! It's Huazhou Lanluo!"

Li Lusheng did not see anyone. His blue eyes were covered by the white mist for a long time. The green spiritual power emanating from his body melted the snow in an instant. The water vapor flowed on his white face. The two crystal antlers bloomed with green light and flowed. He did not dare to be negligent. Although there was no response, his eyes were still fixed on the snow. The snow was sometimes violent and sometimes loose, but it was all abnormal. Li Lusheng also felt the coldness entering his body.

He mobilized the green spiritual power to protect his body, and the spiritual power melted the snow on the ground. The water flowed on the slightly inclined tiles of the Xu family courtyard, slowly falling into the drainage ditch on the snow layer, and due to the height difference, a crisp sound of "tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick" was made.

They were like the passing of time, telling Li Lusheng that everything here was continuing, and Lan Luo, the woman known as the First Great Demon King, had arrived.

Just like the calm before all disasters, Lan Luo's purpose seemed unclear. Although she did not show up, her arrival was destined to be a catastrophic battle.

My plan has been deployed, and the next step is to deal with Lan Luo.

The Great Demon King of the First Day has been sealed in the Demon Sealing Well in Huazhou for three thousand years. Her hatred for humans has only become more violent since she was sealed.

It is foreseeable that Longzhong City will be doomed.

He knew very well that he could not stop Lan Luo and would definitely need help.

Sealing the city was only the first step. Next, what he had to do was to fight against Lan Luo and try to confine him to the main city of Longzhong City, waiting for [Director of the Wutong Division] [Jiuxiang] to lead his men to arrive.

"The one who made the promise with me...was not you..."

There seemed to be an ethereal voice in the sky, slow and casual, denying Li Lusheng's arrival.

The moment Li Lusheng heard these words, he jumped back, facing the ice-blue flowers, and put enough distance between himself and the flowers. He then quickly jumped back and climbed onto the vermilion doorpost of the Xu family compound.

He was majestic, and the director of the Fuzhen Division's long and gorgeous clothes fluttered in the cold wind. The green spiritual power switched between snow and fog, and between snow and water.

He could feel the cold invading his body more and more. He had to use enough spiritual power to maintain his condition.

"I will do the job for you. If you have any problem, just tell me." Li Lusheng tightly grasped the spear. The man spoke to him directly through the mind. The moment he spoke, it seemed to press on his eardrums, making his heart startled and frightened.

Seeing that Lan Luo was willing to talk, Li Lusheng's voice became much louder, and his momentum was like a lion roaring at the air, and he was not at a disadvantage to Lan Luo's intimidation.

"Are you sure? Humans are all liars. If I don't see the original person, I won't fulfill my promise."

That voice vibrated loudly in Li Lusheng's mind. Li Lusheng frowned when he heard it. What kind of magic did Xu Jiaqing have that made the Great Demon King of the First Day fulfill his promise for him? What kind of promise did he want to fulfill?
He didn't get any information from the interrogation, and Xu Jiaqing refused to reveal a single word.

All the ups and downs came as planned. Xu Jiaqing wanted to die, but I had to clean up his mess.

"The Great Demon King of the First Day has an appointment with mortals like us. He really honors the old man of the Xu family." He started to curse. Bai Luyin stood upright in the pillar. He stood with his hands behind his back, which was equivalent to politely treating Lan Luo's arrival.

That blue ice crystal flower was like a flower tumbling in the waves, stained with the deep blue of the ocean, and then there was a whistling sound of cold wind, and a huge ice crystal door stood in the Xu family compound, as if it was condensed from tens of thousands of ice-blue flowers, and the ice crystals and wavy flower waves spread out. The ice crystal door was completely embellished with ice flowers, and in the snow, in the white night, it bloomed with dazzling white light.

It's like shining gold, eye-catching.

The blue ice wind was swirling from the bottom of the door to the top, and then it slowly opened. A white light suddenly appeared inside the door, and a pair of white women's boots lightly stepped on the ice crystal flowers, making a symphony in harmony with the ice crystals.

Ta-la-ta-la.

This alone was enough to make Li Lusheng feel unprecedented pressure.

Then, from the legs to the waist, a figure suddenly appeared, and the Nine-Turn Spiritual Pearl Sword was gently raised in her right hand. The pearl emitting blue light was like an unprecedented thousand-year-old pearl, with strange patterns on it that moved with the rhythm of the light.

Lan Luo's whole body appeared.

She had long silver-white hair with a golden hairpin. Her hair was tied up beautifully. The silver-white hair was piled up and then curled up in small curls, layered and scattered, with a unique beauty. The cold aura made her look even more noble and cold. With the white jade robe she had transformed into, she controlled all the ice crystal flowers in the world, as if a woman as beautiful as her also controlled the power of life and death that was enough to make people kneel down and beg for mercy.

The ice-blue flowers match the wide sleeves of the white robe, making her look like an immortal, standing proud in the world.

Her beautiful appearance alone would never match her title as the number one devil.

How can a beautiful woman be evil?

Since ancient times, beauties have been short-lived and tender-hearted. As the number one devil, Lan Luo's coldness and chilliness penetrate into the bones of others through her tightly furrowed brows and staring eyes, making them shiver with cold.

"I don't like to hear this..." Lan Luo stood with the sword in hand, looking as brave and heroic as a man. Although she was a woman, she was born with an imposing aura, which was in contrast to the weakness in her face. Now she was holding the Nine-Turn Spiritual Pearl Sword, and it seemed that even bells, drums and thunder could not suppress her majesty.

Here, she is the supreme ruler, there is no doubt about it.

"You humans have a covenant with me... You should fulfill it. No matter who I am, a covenant is a covenant. If you break it, you will be punished."

"May I ask what the agreement is that requires you, the First Great Devil, to care so much about the old man from the Xu family?" Li Lusheng still called him "The First Great Devil". For Li Lusheng, he knew that he would definitely not be a threat to Lan Luo, and he thought Lan Luo would not be averse to this title.

Just like she said, no matter who she was, she was just someone who came to keep an appointment.

"What does this have to do with you?" Lan Luo then looked at Li Lusheng who was standing on the doorpost. The vermilion doorpost, matched with Li Lusheng's white jade-colored clothes, really looked like a cold light on a red tasseled spear.

"The old man from the Xu family asked me to act on his behalf, so it's naturally related to me... I'm afraid that the reputation of the First Great Demon King is known to everyone, and he may not have fulfilled the agreement with him, or may have broken the agreement first, so I want to get to the bottom of it and have an explanation."

Li Lusheng was looking down from a high place. The cold wind made his gorgeous clothes rustle. His spiritual power seemed to be clinging to his skin to resist the biting cold.

As soon as Lan Luo appeared, the coldness became doubly severe and impossible to defend against.

"Heh... the meanness of humans... just as I expected." Lan Luo raised her hand, the Nine Revolutions Spirit Pearl Sword hummed, and the huge gem turned gently. She raised the sword and swung it, and the snowflakes in the air seemed to tremble slightly. The Nine Revolutions Spirit Pearl Sword made a long hook-like arc, and the cold sword energy was swung and rushed towards Li Lusheng who was slow in his movement. He continued to remain motionless. Bai Luyin spontaneously pulled away from the doorpost, and only in a moment, with a clang, the sword energy hit Bai Luyin's gun body, and a tiny cut was clearly visible.

The Bai Lu Yin was knocked away by the sword energy, and kept spinning in the air, making a whistling sound. Li Lu frowned and clenched his hand. The Bai Lu Yin spun in the air and returned to Li Lu Sheng's hand with a huge whistling sound.

He clenched his fist, leaned sideways, and pointed the cold light of Bai Luyin's jade spear tip directly at the crack of the doorpost. The red tassel was blown by the wind. Li Lusheng's green spiritual power instantly wrapped Bai Luyin. He leaned forward to enter the combat state, pressed down to protect himself, looked at Lan Luo and shouted: "Waiting for others to fulfill their promises, isn't it a promise? The first great devil, don't be so aggressive..."

"Hmph, when it comes to waiting for someone to fulfill their promise, you should be indiscriminate and not do the fulfillment of the contract on their behalf! How despicable! Kill them all!" Lan Luo certainly knew how important this agreement with Xu Jiaqing was to him. Before meeting Xu Jiaqing, it was impossible for him to tell a third party about this agreement.

And it was impossible for Li Lusheng to get information.

Although everyone knew that Xu Jiaqing and Lan Luo had made an agreement, what exactly this agreement was was definitely not as simple as people in the city speculated.

Li Lusheng was actually sweating. He jumped onto the goalpost because he didn't want to look at Lan Luo on an equal footing. Most people would see that there was a clear difference in position, and the one who looked up physically and then suppressed psychologically would win. If there was a huge gap in strength, it was very likely that he would win without fighting.

If he was standing on the ground of the Xu family compound and looking up at Lan Luo at this moment, the disparity in strength would definitely put him under tremendous pressure. Even if Lan Luo was standing on the vermilion doorpost and glaring at Li Lusheng, Li Lusheng would still be nervous.

It seems that Lan Luo was not affected by his condescending position. Although Li Lusheng was standing high, it was as if Lan Luo was standing high up, looking down at Li Lusheng.

"I can't avoid fighting you today!"

Li Lusheng gritted his teeth and jumped, Bai Luyin hit him diagonally on the shoulder, his bones creaked surprisingly, emitting a green light like emerald green.

The crystal clear antlers were shining brightly, and at this moment, together with his outstanding eyes, they were tenacious!

"Then come on!"

【yo——】

A roar of a deer sounded like a cry of youthful vigor in the empty street pavilion of Longzhong City.

That leap is a crossing of life and death, with no more attachment.

This plan...

must……

Be successful!
