Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 519 Seeking Survival
Pool of water.

In front of a house that looks ordinary from the outside.

The carriage slowly stopped.

An old man in a python-red robe got out of the car, standing out among the surrounding green bricks and tiles.

The dragon robe is the highest grade of bestowed clothing.

In the entire Yu Kingdom, there are only five people alive who are qualified to wear dragon robes.

Even Gu Changsheng and Marquis Dingyuan were not qualified to wear the dragon robe.

However, the old man's python robe had been passed down for hundreds of years, making him the oldest person in the world.

At this time.

A young man pushed open the door and came out.

"grandfather."

This young man was Qi Kuang.

The next Duke of Weiguo's Mansion will be named the Duke of Weiguo in name and in reality, as long as the Holy Emperor issues an edict. However, his path to becoming the Duke is not destined to be smooth.

He had followed his grandfather to the capital for several days, but he had not even seen the emperor, let alone received an edict.

The old Duke Wei looked at his grandson with his cloudy eyes and patiently taught him:
"Kuang'er, you should be patient, okay?"

"Yes, grandson knows."

Qi Kuang nodded obediently.

It's not about hiding one's incompetence.

Really well-behaved.

This is also the reason why the old Duke of Wei chose Qi Kuang.

He had many sons, and the most promising ones died after the immortal disaster. The ones left in the Weiguo Mansion were either unpromising sons or overly promising grandsons.

Qi Kuang is not the most outstanding among his grandchildren.

But it is the most stable.

In other words, the most honest.

This is extremely valuable in such a large Duke's Mansion.

According to the old Duke Weiguo, this mansion can no longer withstand the turmoil.

He is old and can no longer take care of things.

That's why he thought of using his remaining body to extend the life of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion for a few hundred more years. As for what happens after that, it is no longer his business.

If a Duke of Wei who is too capable and ambitious is chosen, the Duke of Wei’s clan will be wiped out within ten years.

But all the affection has been exhausted over the years.

The Holy Emperor obviously didn't even intend to keep this thought.

The goal is to completely eliminate the Weiguo Duke family.

Qi Kuang had some worry in his eyes. He took a letter to the Duke of Weiguo and said, "Grandfather, there was a letter at the door today. I didn't open it until you came back to make a decision."

The old Duke Weiguo paused.

He took the envelope from his grandson in the front yard.

Take it apart and take a look.

"The Qi family was originally a tomb keeper, and is a branch of our Wanfa Palace. You left your post without permission, which is a serious crime. Considering that you did not do it on purpose, you can return today and be exempted from punishment."

The old Duke of Wei narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Do you know who put it there?"

Qi Kuang was stunned, then shook his head: "I don't know."

The old Duke of Wei sighed and said, "If you don't know, then you don't know. The less you know, the better."

The more they knew, the closer the Weiguo Mansion was to annihilation.

Even if you don't know who wrote the letter.

But he could be sure that it was someone from the North Pole Immortal Sect.

The Qi family has a secret.

In fact, the entire clan are gravekeepers sent to the lower world by the Palace of All Laws. However, because this small cave has been isolated from the world of immortal cultivation for too long, the heritage has gradually been forgotten.

So much so that all the members of the Qi family thought it was just a legend.

Until the Purple Gold Palace appeared.

After the fall of the Purple Gold Palace, the North Pole Immortal Sect inherited the Purple Gold Palace and became another subordinate sect of the Wanfa Palace.

The old Duke Wei's eyes flickered.

He knows.

The choice I make today will determine the fate of the Weiguo clan.

A corner of the capital.

A bean noodle vendor returned home.

The house is empty.

If someone saw it, they would be surprised.

I was surprised that this orphan, who had lost his parents not long ago, had not starved to death.

Or.

He had already starved to death, and now he is just resurrecting as a corpse.

"Qi Tang, don't make the wrong choice."

The hawker, or rather He Jiuxuan, raised his mouth slightly.

That's right. The person who sent the letter was naturally him.

This method of resurrecting a dead body was performed by his uncle Huang Longzi, and it was enough to deceive all the powerful people in the capital.

"Fortunately, I like reading the ancient books in the palace, otherwise I would not know this secret."

He Jiuxuan felt proud.

He also discovered by accident that the Qi family was the descendants of the monks who were sent to the cave to guard the tomb tens of thousands of years ago by the Wanfa Palace.

It can be used by him just fine.

This time I came to Beijing.

Of course, he was not doing this simply for the lineage of Duke Wei.

But it was Li Rui.

If it was just a dispute over the great way, He Jiuxuan wouldn't be so eager to take action.

But Li Rui's performance on Dingshan was too dazzling.

So much so that he wanted to kill.

Li Rui had been in the capital the whole time and had no chance to take action at all.

And he had understood it.

Li Rui is a calm and cautious person.

The more pressure you put on them, the less likely they are to leave the city.

Therefore, the best way is of course to cooperate internally and externally, and Duke Weiguo is undoubtedly the most suitable target.

As long as Duke Weiguo can lure Li Rui out.

He was confident that he could kill Li Rui.

Moreover, in his opinion, the Duke of Wei had no reason to refuse.
The decline of the current Weiguo Mansion has become inevitable. There is only one way to break the impasse, and that is to completely surrender to the Beiji Immortal Sect. Only in this way can they have a glimmer of hope.

The corners of He Jiuxuan's mouth rose slightly.

He couldn't wait to kill Li Rui, his great enemy.

'Perhaps killing you will help me reach the realm of the Dao Body.'

There has always been a saying in the world of immortal cultivation.

That is to kill the enemies of the Great Dao, which will help to make the thoughts clear and achieve the highest state.

This day.

Dusk.

Li Rui checked in at Xunshansi, returned to his residence, and began practicing martial arts.

At this time.

The old butler ran over, looking a little nervous: "Master, someone came to visit, saying it was the Duke of Weiguo."

In the capital city.

To be able to become the manager of a high-ranking official's residence, one must not only have the ability to serve others, but more importantly, have good vision.

This is not only about assessing the situation, but also about knowing the slightest movement in the capital.

Now everyone knows the situation of the Duke of Weiguo.

After standing in the palace for half a month, the Holy Emperor refused to see him.

The meaning is already obvious.

Which blind official dares to have anything to do with the Duke of Weiguo?

This is the reason why people push down the wall.

It doesn't necessarily mean kicking someone when they're down; just being indifferent is enough to kill someone.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He groaned for a moment, then said, "Okay, please bring him in."

Hear the words.

The old steward was shocked. Others were trying to avoid him, but why did his own master bring trouble to his family? He couldn't help but say, "Master, this..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Rui interrupted him: "You have followed me for so many years, how come you don't even know the rules?"

The old steward felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe.

I shivered.

Then he turned around and headed towards the gate.

Soon.

A Duke of Wei, dressed in a black robe and looking no different from an ordinary wealthy old man, led the future Duke of Wei, Qi Kuang, into the Li residence.

No one else followed.

Just the two of them.

Duke Wei looked at Li Rui with cloudy eyes: "A great reputation is a great man. Lord Li is much more capable than I was in my youth."

Li Rui smiled slightly: "The Duke is joking."

As far as he knows.

Three decades ago, this old man was already a half-step terrestrial immortal.

It was just that he failed in overcoming the tribulation and remained in the celestial realm.

But its strength should not be underestimated.

Li Rui looked at the Duke of Weiguo, and then looked at Qi Kuang beside him: "What does the Duke of Weiguo want to talk to me about?"

A glimmer of clarity flashed across the Duke of Wei's eyes:
"I came to Lord Li to find a way to save the thousand people in your mansion."
