The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 483 The Last Elixir

Within Qingshuang City, the White Cloud Immortal Artifact arrived at the council hall inside the Hidden Origin Bell in an instant.

Wang Wu also basically recovered to normal at this time.

The heart of the earth was aching, which slowed down his circulation of qi and blood by about one-third.

If he can only rely on the Five Demon Pills, it's equivalent to having one-third of his overall strength locked up.

"My lord, are you alright?" Feng Muhan asked with some guilt, as if he had already guessed that this would be the outcome.

"I'm fine, but you'd better give me an explanation! Why did Blood Elder recruit Lu Tong? Why did Gray Elder use his divine calculation on me at this time? Is there no law in the Hidden Origin Society?!"

Just as Feng Muhan was about to answer, Lu Tong shouted, "Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide. My lord, why don't I tell you the story from the beginning?"

"Do you know that in order to enter the Hidden Origin Elder Council, my master not only suffered serious injuries, but also offended two forces. Besides the Blood Elder, the other one is the Second-Rank Elder Liu Shengxuan, whom my master replaced."

"He is currently the head of the Audit Department and the patriarch of the Liu family of Nanshan. He was once an attending elder of the Yinyuan Elder Council, but he was dismissed and demoted to a third-rank elder because of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower incident. Over the past fifty years, he has sent sixteen Earth Immortals and three Taiyi True Immortals from our Frost Domain into the Sin Prison Tower."

"Right now, the entire Frost Domain is in a state of panic. Many people dare not take on any duties, because who doesn't have a dark past? If you fall into the hands of Liu Shengxuan, you'll have to go to the Tower of Sin!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a bit too outrageous? Is the Hidden Origin Elder Council just going to let Yagyu Gen do whatever he wants?"

As a result, Lu Tong and the other three could only smile bitterly. Lu Tong didn't say much, but handed over a jade talisman. On it were a list of arrest warrants issued by the Hidden Yuan Society's Black Domain, which was shocking to him!
This thing can't be faked, because it's exactly like the news, made public!
Good guy!
In just 55 years, 21 people were imprisoned. The key charges were clear, the evidence was true, and the whole process was fair and just. There was nothing wrong with it from beginning to end.

Even Bai Yu was among them; he was arrested for dereliction of duty and sentenced to fifty years in prison.

In short, no one is innocent.

Wang Wu believed that his previous imprisonment was due to his ignorance of the rules and taboos of the Hidden Yuan Society.

It now seems that Bai Yu and his gang don't take these rules and taboos seriously at all, and they do whatever they want just because their leader is Shuang Jun.

Of course, this is probably the norm for the Hidden Origin Society. Back then, didn't Song Guangming, the Black Emperor's disciple, also falsely report projects and misappropriate resources to build Dragon Tail City?

The only difference is whether you have a powerful background or whether someone is targeting you!
However, Wang Wu still asked a question specifically.

Are there any wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice involved?

"It doesn't exist. It's all true, but these were originally gray areas. As long as we didn't cause any big trouble, they wouldn't be investigated. But the problem is that we used too much spiritual tax to build the Heaven and Earth Needle, and then the Heavenly Pivot Immortal Alliance attacked, causing us heavy losses."

"This resulted in our spiritual tax not being submitted on time, which allowed the Audit Department to seize the opportunity to conduct an investigation while my master was away. They used the rules and regulations to deal with us, and we had no power to fight back."

"And what about you? What rules and laws did you violate? Since you cultivate the righteous path, you shouldn't have such a weakness."

Lu Tong sighed deeply.
"My lord, you don't know this, but I really hope to be assassinated by the wandering Taiyi, have all my elixirs destroyed, and be unconscious, rather than be taken away for investigation."

Lu Tong spoke with great sorrow. Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhan, and Qu Shenglian also sighed deeply, their expressions helpless. With Shuang Jun gone, Shuangyu was truly about to fall apart.

"What crime did you commit?"

"Alas! My lord, you are unaware of this. Before I was captured by my master and hung up to be beaten, I was just a wandering Taiyi, doing dirty work. I had two Taiyi and eighteen Earth Immortals under my command. I also slaughtered several cities, wiped out more than a dozen families, and robbed trillions of spirit taxes. My name is on the wanted list of the Nine Alliances, Three Assemblies, and Two Sects."

"But I have truly reformed. The righteous energy I cultivate is the most righteous and hates evil. I never thought that today would come. An old guy at the eighth level of Taiyi is digging into my past like he's digging up my ancestral graves."

"If Liu Shengxuan really finds out about this, I'm finished. When the Nine Alliances, Three Associations, Two Sects, and Fifteen Families jointly try me, I'll be sentenced to at least one of the sins of reincarnation immediately!"

"Wait a minute! Are you sure that Yagyu Gen has found evidence to support what you're saying? How could he be so all-powerful as to know all this?"

Wang Wu then asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Because of Elder Hui's level 27 divine calculation! This divine calculation can not only see the future, but also the past. As long as we use the Heaven and Earth Compass and illuminate it with Yin and Yang energies, then even the slightest clue can become a breakthrough." Feng Muhan suddenly spoke.

This made Wang Wu's heart tighten.

Gray, this is indeed a difficult situation.

"So, what's your current thinking? I don't think playing dead is a very effective tactic."

"My lord, our thinking is very simple: only my master can save me. Only her veto power can save me!"

"But we don't know where she went into seclusion to heal her injuries, nor do we know why she didn't appoint her loyal disciples, but instead made you the ruler of the Frost Domain!"

"Now, my lord, please, for the sake of the countless merits and sacrifices I have made for the Frost Domain over the past 30,000 years, please help me contact my master and beg her to save my life!"

Pfft!
Lu Tong immediately knelt down before Wang Wu.

Wang Wu paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Tong, then at Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhan, and Qu Shenglian.

"Do any of the three of you also have something to hide?"

To everyone's surprise, all three nodded in agreement.

Feng Muhan solemnly said, "My lord, our problem is not that big. Even if we are called in to cooperate with the investigation, there will be no major issues. At most, we will be detained for a thousand or eight hundred years. The only one is our eldest brother. He really can't escape. So, we used your negotiation with Xue Sou as an excuse to try to persuade him to escape."

"Unfortunately, Senior Brother is still too stubborn. Opportunities are fleeting, and Yagyu Gen will not give us another chance."

Zhuang Bufei also said at this time: "Yes, that's right. Liu Shengxuan's investigation into my senior brother's crimes should be in its final stage. Once he requests the Hidden Origin Elder Council, then they can come to Qing Shuang City to arrest him. We don't have much time left."

Hearing this, Wang Wu also felt it was a very troublesome situation. As a Taiyi sixth-level True Immortal, Lu Tong was definitely the main force of the Frost Domain. If he were to be taken away, it would be no different from being dead.

However, he didn't know how to contact Frost Lord!

Furthermore, it's too late to use the divine calculation to stop Gray Elder now; the charges against Lu Tong have probably already been largely uncovered.

"What other secrets are you hiding from us?!"

Wang Wu suddenly asked.

Lu Tong was taken aback by these words, while Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhan and the other two didn't think much of it at first, but they soon realized what was going on.

"I...I am a deer demon!"

Lu Tong gritted his teeth and finally revealed the truth.

Wang Wu nodded. No wonder he dared to play the trick of shattering the five elixir pills.

If he's not mistaken, Lu Tong should also have five demon cores and five spirit cores.

"If you suddenly disappear now, will Frost Domain bear any responsibility?"

Wang Wu asked a question; he already had a vague idea.

"There is joint liability, but it's not a big problem. After all, we can also say that we were deceived. So, sir, do you have a way to let my senior brother hide without being found by Yagyu Gen and Elder Hui?"

Feng Muhan asked in surprise.

"There is indeed such a way, but I don't know what price you are willing to pay?"

Wang Wu pondered and calculated, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

He couldn't help but wonder if the words Frost Lord had spoken to him before leaving, and even his special appointment as the ruler of Frost Domain, had foreseen this.
"Sir, could you be more specific?"

Lu Tong looked up and asked hopefully.

"Actually, my method is very simple. I can rescue you from the No. 1 Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower without making a sound. So I was thinking, could we try another method? You make a mistake and throw yourself into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower to avoid Liu Shengxuan."

"That's roughly it. You can help me brainstorm and develop a plan around this point."

Wang Wu laid bare his cards, so there was no need for him to hold back anymore.

"This plan works!"

Zhuang Bufei slapped his thigh excitedly, "Because our Frost Domain is highly autonomous, it also has the authority to send Senior Brother to the Sin Domain Tower. However, in this way, Liu Shengxuan can be interrogated at his own pace, and he can be convicted in a maximum of six months and executed a year later!"

"My lord, you must be absolutely certain!"

"Yes, that's right, sir. If you rescue our senior brother from the Great Wilderness Prison Tower, it will be like a mortal storming the execution ground. It might alert the Hidden Origin Divine Lord! That would be a huge loss!"

Listening to their words, Wang Wu nodded. "That's why I asked, Lu Tong, what price are you willing to pay? Let me put it this way: as long as you are executed in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, I can rescue you after the execution!"

"Note that I will only rescue you after your identity has been verified, after the execution, after everyone thinks you are dead, and after all attention has shifted away from you. Do you understand what I mean? I need you to fill in all the details outside of this core!"

Wang Wu's words stunned Lu Tong and the other three, because the plan was so absurd that they had no choice but to believe it.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Bufei was the first to speak.

"If it is truly feasible, then this is indeed the best choice, because my Frost Domain can accept being suppressed for thousands of years to come, falling into decline, even becoming a laughing stock, and being harassed in all sorts of ways. But everyone knows, and even our enemies know, that as long as our master is here, we will always make a comeback in the future, and the foundation of our Frost Domain will be indestructible."

"But the enemy now wants to clip Master's wings, in preparation for the final battle that will not break out for tens of thousands of years to come."

"Therefore, if it can save our senior brother, it is worth it, even if it comes at a terrible price."

“That’s right! I’m in charge of managing Prison No. 1. It’s difficult for them to rescue people from outside, but it’s extremely easy to throw people into inside. Everything is done properly and there won’t be any problems.”

Qu Shenglian spoke up.

"It would be best to fabricate a few heinous crimes against the eldest brother, so as to delay the case for a while and prevent Liu Shengxuan from quickly closing the case and carrying out the execution."

"So the question now is, sir, how can you guarantee that my senior brother, after being identified and executed, will be able to come back to life?"

Lu Tong and the other three all looked at Wang Wu at this moment. This was even more difficult than silently rescuing someone from the Great Wilderness Prison Tower!
Wang Wu pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Because I still have one last elixir!"
