Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 473: Blocking the Road
"Zhu Qian."

In Xunshansi's room, the ancient scroll in Li Rui's hand was fluttering in the breeze outside the window, but his mind was not on the book, but had drifted to the imperial palace not far away.

Being targeted by a celestial phenomenon is not a good thing.

Not to mention that Tian Xiang was a prince.

The Holy Emperor has many sons, but only two of them have entered the celestial realm. The fifth prince Zhu Qian is one of them.

Even if he made a big mistake, it was forgivable.

The reason why the Dayu royal family was able to suppress the world was not only because of their strong foundation, but also because the emperor himself was extremely powerful.

There may have been cruel or radical emperors in history, but there has never been a foolish one.

I heard that although his title of King of Wei was not restored, he had already returned to the palace.

Now he has been ordered by the Holy Emperor to compile history.

It seems to be a neglect, but all the discerning people in the officialdom know that this is a well-intentioned preparation for reinstatement.

After all, Zhu Qian killed the genius Chang Xuan of Qingwei Sect. Even though Chang Xuan's master had defected to the North Pole Demon Sect, the Yu Kingdom court still had to save face.

"Did Taoist Zi Yang leak the secret?"

'Not too possible.'

Li Rui thought secretly.

He always felt that the Fifth Prince sending people to Yunzhou to investigate him was not as simple as it seemed.

After learning about this.

He has also sent a message back to Yunzhou.

We are already in his hometown, so of course we can’t let Zhu Qian have it too easy.

Just as Li Rui was thinking.

A familiar voice sounded: "Brother Li, you have to help me."

Look up.

Then Nie Siming walked in, followed by Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "We are all brothers, just say it."

Nie Siming laughed loudly: "Brother Li is still open-minded."

"Recently, another demon cultivator in Jiangzhou slaughtered several villages with a white banner. I suspect that the demon cultivator was refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The Saint Emperor hates this the most, so he ordered us to arrest him."

"I took Zhongtian and Huzi to chase him, but he escaped using the magic of talismans. That's why I thought of asking Brother Li to deal with him."

Li Rui groaned.

"Tongxuan, talismans, that is indeed a bit troublesome."

The best proof of this is the monk from the Arctic Demon Sect named Ji Lei.

Although the killing power of immortal cultivators is not as strong as that of warriors, when it comes to the ability to save lives, they are definitely much stronger.

The art of talismans also requires the rules of talismans.

"This concerns lives, so it must be dealt with urgently."

Say it.

Li Rui stood up and immediately took Nie Siming and others out of Xunshansi.

While walking.

Nie Siming also said: "See, I told you that you are the most righteous and will not sit idly by."

He spoke to Ning Zhongtian and others.

Li Rui smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to be kind and righteous. I've suffered a lot myself, so I'll help if I can."

He is not a saint.

Of course, it is impossible for him to do something like a swordsman in Shu who would rather abandon his cultivation than kill all the evil cultivators in the world, but since it is his job and it can prevent thousands of lives from suffering disasters, he will not ignore it.

Xunshansi has four rooms, and generally there is no need for people to go out.

But if the front line needs us, we have an obligation to go.

Just like today.

Li Rui didn't need Nie Siming's men to use magic weapons. He threw out the magic boat himself and then led everyone towards Jiangzhou.

The flying magic weapon spans thousands of miles.

On the same day, he came to Jiangzhou from the capital.

Green willow trees provide shade and gurgling streams flow.

Looking at the green and vibrant scene.

Li Rui couldn't help but praise.

"Good place."

It was his first time to visit Jiangzhou, a place in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is just the richest place in Yu State. The tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land alone are enough to make the people of Yunzhou drool.

Not to mention the well-developed waterways, it only takes three days to travel from Jiangzhou to the capital city in the north!

Business matters are even better than in the capital.

Nie Siming had been here before and was very familiar with Jiangzhou. He entered Jiangzhou City smoothly and went straight to the general of Jianghuai Town.

The center of the capital is Xunshansi, which is responsible for arresting the evil cultivators in the world.

But we got to the place.

Generally, local military towns are responsible for this. Xunshansi will only take action when there are problems that the local military towns cannot solve.

The general of Jianghuai Town was a burly and strong middle-aged man.

The loose robe was actually a little bulging and tight.

"Lord Li, General Nie."

The general of Jianghuai Town named Fan Wen laughed heartily and clasped his fists with a very good attitude. He didn't even mention the matter of the magic cultivators, and directly led Li Rui and his party to his own mansion.

We drank three glasses of wine when we sat down.

Fan Wen then said, "We followed General Zhou to kill the sea monsters. I have great respect for General Zhou's abilities."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

The General Zhou that Fan Wen mentioned was naturally the current governor of three towns, Zhou Dinghai.

They all worked under Zhou Dinghai, so Fan Wen was naturally close to him.

Several people were drinking and chatting.

Most of the time, Fan Wen talked about Zhou Dinghai's heroic deeds in quelling the Dinghai Rebellion in Jiangnan.

Came to Jiangnan.

Only then did I know Zhou Dinghai's fame.

Along the way, they had heard no less than a hundred people praising Zhou Dinghai's achievements.

After talking about Zhou Dinghai, Fan Wen praised Li Rui again.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Rui's heroic deeds in the Qingwei Sect were famous all over the world.

Li Rui looked at the enthusiastic Fan Wen and felt emotional.

He has also lived to an age where he has friends wherever he goes.

I don't know how many rounds of drinking we have had.

Li Rui then got to the point: "General Fan, do you know anything about the White Banner Demon Cultivator?"

As soon as I heard the white flag.

Fan Wen's drunkenness instantly dissipated. He slapped his thigh and said viciously, "Brother Li, you don't know that the man did evil things a few days ago and killed hundreds of civilians. If I hadn't brought people to the scene, I'm afraid that the whole village would have been destroyed by that guy again."

Speaking of that evil cultivator, Fan Wen became so angry that his teeth itched.

Li Rui groaned and said, "I do know a little bit about talismans, maybe I can help you."

Fan asked with a big grin:

"Master Li, there is no need to be modest. I trust your talismanic skills. This time, I will make that fellow pay with blood to comfort those dead souls!"

dusk.

On a coastal beach in the East China Sea, you can occasionally see fishermen carrying fishing nets talking excitedly about today's catch, leaving a few lines of footprints on the white beach.

"This guy is really weird."

A fisherman looked at the distance and muttered twice.

Another older man shouted in a low voice: "Do you know what it means that trouble comes from the mouth? Haven't you heard the old man say that monks and Taoist priests are the ones you can't mess with, and you can't say anything."

The young fisherman wanted to retort.

But he succumbed to the other party's fierce gaze.

The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the small fishing village not far away.

No wonder the young fishermen said so.

Because all the children in the small fishing village knew that the Taoist priest didn't use a hook when fishing.

A gust of sea breeze blew.

The sea water roared and wet the corners of Xuanyu's clothes, but he did not react at all. He seemed to have turned into stone, motionless.

Until late at night.

Then a man with a hooked nose slowly walked towards us from the mangroves outside the beach.

"Li Rui has come to Jiangzhou City."

The hook-nosed man said this, holding a white banner in his hand.

If Nie Siming and Fan Wen were present, they would definitely recognize that this person was the demon cultivator they were hunting.

"Ah."

Taoist Xuanyu nodded: "Go according to the previous plan."

"it is good."

The exchange between the two was extremely brief.

After just a few words, the hook-nosed demon cultivator turned around and left without looking back.

From beginning to end.

Xuanyu didn't even turn around to look at the demon cultivator.

There was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

"If you are still in Qingwei Sect, I will kill you first."

Xuanyu had an idea.

His eyes quickly turned into astonishment.

He is no longer the Xuanyu Taoist of the Qingwei Sect.

Although he had been away from Qingwei Sect for so many years, he had never given up fishing. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would come back here to fish.

It has been a habit for hundreds of years and cannot be changed.

Xuanyu sighed and slowly stood up.

Put away the fishing rod in your hand.

Walking alone like an old fisherman on the seashore.

'Zhu Qian. Li Rui'

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

Zhu Qian wanted to avenge the murder of his disciple, but unfortunately Zhu Qian was already in the Celestial Realm and mostly stayed in the Imperial City, so he had no chance to do it.

Since I can't kill Zhu Qian.

Then we have no choice but to kill Li Rui.

If Li Rui had died on Changqing Peak that night, he might have already obtained a place to enter the world of immortal cultivation. Why would he have to help the Beiji Immortal Sect do dirty things like he is doing now?

Since he was not killed before, let him be killed now.

Not bad.

Several major rebellions in the State of Yu were caused by him behind the scenes.

In order to complete the mission of the North Pole Immortal Sect, he also wanted to lure Li Rui out.

Of course he already knew that Li Rui had gone to the capital and became an official of Xunshansi.

Always waiting for the opportunity.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

Although Li Rui is only a third-rank official, his identity is extremely special. He is the teacher of Yuan Dingting's only son, a guest official of Wenxian Tower, and a person valued by Chief Assistant Zhang of Xunshan Division. Even the Holy Emperor has a fondness for Li Rui.

The State of Yu wanted to find people who were involved with the Holy Emperor, Prime Minister Zhang, Yuan Dingting and Gu Changsheng at the same time, but there were not many.

If he could kill Li Rui, it would be a great achievement.

And after that night.

Li Rui also became a thorn in his side.

If he didn't kill Li Rui, it would be unreasonable for him to do so.

In the celestial realm, unclear thoughts are a serious matter.

In that case, of course, both his personal and official affairs were dealt with together.

Taoist Xuanyu walked along with an indifferent expression.

The figure of Li Rui emerged in my mind.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. You are the one who blocked my path. I can only ask you to die."
