Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 587 Beat up the drowned dog

"Ji Ze?"

Li Rui, who was practicing in the room, narrowed his eyes slightly and thought secretly.

He has cast many "eyes" in Donghai City.

It's not a secret spy.

Ordinary mortals and cultivators are simply unable to monitor beings above the Purple Mansion Realm, so it is of little use.

Fortunately, in addition to his outstanding combat ability, Li Rui has achieved the status of a great talisman master at the Dao Body level during his years of seclusion, and his formation skills are also approaching. It is estimated that within ten years, he will be able to become a great formation master.

The talismans and arrays are still unique.

So he placed more than tens of thousands of sensing talismans in the city.

This sensing talisman has only one function, which is to monitor the existence above the Purple Mansion Realm in the city.

This was originally done to guard against Huang Longzi.

Unexpectedly.

It actually made him discover other clues.

Ji Ze, he knew this person.

He is the true disciple of Deputy City Lord Hong Tianyong, and the only true disciple of this Deputy City Lord. There has always been a rumor in Shenxiao City that Ji Ze's original surname was Hong, and he is the illegitimate son of Deputy City Lord Hong.

The only true teaching, even the city lord’s first disciple does not have such treatment.

But he is such a noble gentleman.

He actually stayed in Donghai City for several years under an assumed name.

How to not arouse Li Rui's suspicion.

Looking at the entire Donghai City, it seems that Ji Ze is the only one who can make a Dao Body Realm master of such a high status come out in person.

"You're really good at hiding."

In an ordinary house in Donghai City, there is a three-story attic, which happens to overlook a corner of Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

Ji Ze, who was standing on the third floor and looking into the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly.

these days.

He monitored the whereabouts of Li Rui and Yin Tian as requested by his master.

As for why he could monitor both sides by himself, it was of course because he learned the art of clone from his master Hong Tianyong.

The one in the Witch Kingdom is his clone.

The real one is in Donghai City.

Yin Tian is in the Dao Body Realm, and his cultivation is even higher than his. There is no chance to kill him. He just needs to tell the news to his master. But Li Rui is only in the Purple Mansion Realm. Hong Tianyong does not need to take action. He can suppress the Lord of Donghai City by himself.

That's exactly what happened.

This is how Yin Tian was killed.

But an unexpected thing happened on Li Rui's side.

The Lord of Donghai City really likes quietness. He has been in seclusion for several years and has never gone out. This is not common in the Purple Mansion Realm.

"I heard that Huang Longzi from the Wanfa Palace wanted to attack the people of Yu State. He should be avoiding disaster."

Ji Ze thought in his heart.

I can't help but feel helpless.

As for this Elder Li, he also admired him.

He is really very tolerant.

He asked himself if he had such determination.

If you don't go out, it means you're giving up all opportunities, and your progress in cultivation will be greatly reduced. It's no exaggeration to say that you're wasting your time.

It can be said that we killed eight hundred enemies but lost one thousand of our own.

But Li Rui executed it very decisively, which made Ji Ze admire him.

but.
He was willing to endure it, but his master was not.

I have urged you several times.

But he remained unmoved.

The thirty-six guard cities of Shenxiao City are all equipped with large formations. If a fight breaks out in the city, it will definitely provoke the other city lords of Shenxiao City to take action.

If he incurs public anger, his master may not necessarily save him.

Li Rui wanted to kill.

But your own life is more important.

"We need to think of a way to have the best of both worlds." "Deputy City Lord Hong?"

Tan Yu was a little surprised.

Today he came to visit Li Rui, and while they were chatting, they mentioned Deputy City Lord Hong Tianyong.

The liveliness of a chat does not depend on the topic of the chat, but on who is chatting.

"We have three deputy city lords in Shenxiao City."

"There is no need to say much about City Lord Gao. City Lord Chonghua has the longest seniority and is said to be from the Chong family of Baiyujing. The city lord also values ​​him and his position is the most stable. As for City Lord Hong, he joined Shenxiao City a hundred years ago and has always wanted to enter Baiyujing."

"But it's not that easy to get into Baiyujing. You either have to be young enough, talented enough, strong enough, or have strong connections."

In other words, he has high hopes for Li Rui, which is why he said so much.

Otherwise, everyone knows that words can cause trouble, and since it concerns the deputy city lord, they would not say much.

talking.

There was a hint of gloating on Tan Yu's face.

He is Chonghua's disciple, and Chonghua and Hong Tianyong are not on good terms, so he is naturally happy to see the other party suffer a defeat.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had also heard a little about this matter.

Hong Tianyong himself is a very famous independent cultivator in Taihuazhou. He has reached the celestial realm, which is good enough for him to be the ancestor of a third-rate immortal sect. However, he came to Shenxiao City to be a deputy city lord and was restricted in every way.

Why?

Join Baiyujing.

This is certainly the purpose, but it is not the ultimate goal. Otherwise, why not the Shenxuan Sect, or the Wanfa Palace which is the closest to the independent cultivators.

The answer is obvious.

It’s for the immortal fruit.

Thinking of this, Li Rui couldn't help but feel depressed.

Hong Tianyong's true disciple came to Donghai City, perhaps for the spirit of the immortal fruit.

Wen Xuan, Fu Rui, and Shi Xueyan all knew that he possessed the spirit of the immortal fruit.

Three people already know about it.

It was no longer a secret. As the deputy city lord, Hong Tianyong was present at the selection that day, so it was not difficult for him to know that he was carrying the spirit of the fairy fruit.

"The spirit of the fairy fruit."

Li Rui sighed in his heart.

"It will eventually attract the prying eyes of others."

And this time his luck was not very good.

It is very likely that the person who covets it is not Ji Ze, but his master, Hong Tianyong.

After all, Ji Ze is still very young. If he attacks him, the city lord of Donghai City, once the city lord of Shenxiao City knows about it, he will be punished by heavenly thunder. Compared with this, it is safer to practice well and attract Bai Yujing's attention.

In comparison, Hong Tianyong's possibility is undoubtedly greater.

It is even very likely that Yin Tiandu was killed by Hong Tianyong.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

Tan Yu laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoist Changqing, there is no need to be too afraid of City Lord Hong. He may enter the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man in a few decades, while your master is in his prime. Your lineage will definitely suppress them."

Li Rui was speechless.

Sure enough, age discrimination always exists no matter where you are.

The world of immortal cultivation is no exception.

Everyone would be wary of Yuan Dingting, who is only 200 years old and in the realm of heaven and man. But for an old heaven and man like Hong Tianyong, who is almost at the end of his life, the treatment is very different. Otherwise, among the three city lords of Shenxiao City, the city lord Hong has the lowest authority and is even inferior to the newer outsider - his master.

It's just bullying the elderly.

It’s exactly the same as what Li Rui did back then.

Fortunately, Li Rui no longer has such worries.

Now that we know Hong Tianyong's purpose, how should we deal with it?
That's what you say.

His backers are all deputy city lords, his master Gao Tianxia is at the peak of his career, while Hong Tianyong is just barely surviving.

What we need to do, of course, is to give the fallen dog a beating!

If you want to use your power, you have to crush people, otherwise all your background will be wasted.

I, Old Li, have never fought such a prosperous battle.
