I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 99: The sect is in trouble, return quickly

The setting sun was blood-red, and a regular knock on the door interrupted the tranquility of Lao Lu Temple.

"Squeak!"

The temple gate was half-open. A guard boy peeked in and saw two middle-aged Taoists standing outside. One of them smiled and bowed, saying, "I am Guo Bo, a Taoist priest. I am honored to meet you, the immortal boy. May I ask if fellow Taoist Lu Wujiu is here?"

The boy on duty asked, "I wonder what the elder wants from my master?"

Guo Bo said: "I am a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect. I have come to discuss important matters with fellow Daoist Lu."

The guard boy was startled and quickly opened the gate, inviting him in: "So you are the Immortal Master of the Zhengyi Sect. I am sorry for my poor eyesight. Please forgive me!"

Guo Bo said with a smile that it was okay, and led the middle-aged Taoist priest behind him into the Lao Lu Temple.

After the boy on duty led him into the guest room, he hurried off to look for Liu Qingtan.

When Liu Qingtan heard that a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect was coming, he did not dare to neglect him and hurried to invite Lu Wujiu. However, after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response, so he had to rush to the guest room alone.

After entering the guest room, the two sides exchanged greetings. Guo Bo asked, "Why don't you see Brother Lu?"

Liu Qingtan said, "Mr. Lu is out."

"When can you come back?"

"It's hard to say. If it's fast, I might be back in a cup of tea. If it's slow, it might take ten days or half a month. If you have any urgent matters, I can send a communication talisman to notify you."

Guo Bo looked at his companions, made eye contact, and nodded, "Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtan took out the communication talisman and probed his spiritual sense into it. Just as he was about to write down the information, he suddenly saw a brilliant white light coming towards him from the corner of his eye. The overwhelming and terrifying pressure made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave!

——But Guo Bo took advantage of his distraction and used his finger as a sword to chop out a sword beam.

"swing!"

The sword light was as fast as lightning. When it was about to strike Liu Qingtan, a bronze tripod suddenly appeared, blocking the sword light and making a crisp vibration.

"Why are you killing me? Who are you?"

Liu Qingtan shouted loudly, turned around and ran, chanting a spell in a hurry. Dozens of rampant soldiers and generals suddenly rushed out and rushed towards Guo Bo.

Seeing this, Guo Bo was well prepared. He swung his magic sword, and the sword light burst out, and the rampant soldiers were shattered one by one.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who came with Guo Bo gently raised his sleeves, and a cold light flashed in his sleeves. A miniature sleeve sword, shining like a rainbow, shot out, and with a "bang", it hit the bronze tripod and shook it.

"Ok?"

He frowned, he had not expected that this magic weapon was so strong. Driven by his spiritual power, the sleeve sword flew up and down like a bee, clanging and hitting the bronze tripod crazily!
It sounds slow, but it actually happens very quickly.

As far as the eye could see, the rampant weapons were broken, the sword lights were like flowers, and with the sound of pearls and jade falling on plates, the bronze tripod covering Liu Qingtan was shattered.

Guo Bo's eyes lit up when he saw this. In the midst of his busy schedule, he swung his magic sword and another sword light slashed out.

Liu Qingtan, who had already rushed out of the door, seemed to have sensed something. He looked back and his face lost all color.

"Duh!"

A dull sound was heard, and dense vines weaved into a vine shield behind Liu Qingtan, blocking the fatal blow.

"Wudang Sect's revenge has nothing to do with you, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, Guo Bo scolded him harshly.

Unexpectedly, the vines grew more and more lush, and in the blink of an eye, they completely covered the guest room.

"How dare you, you scoundrel, pretend to be from the Wudang Sect? Do you think I've never seen Pure Yang Sword Qi?"

The voice of Lao Lu Mountain God came from all directions.

"Really? There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you insist on coming. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"

Before Guo Bo finished his angry shout, his companion behind him suddenly sprinkled a ball of green powder. The powder fell on the vines, and pungent white smoke immediately emerged, and the vines quickly shrank.

His companions made hand gestures in tacit understanding, and with a flash of sword light, the rock-hard vine shield shattered.

However, when he glanced around, there was no sign of Liu Qingtan outside the guest room.
"go!"

The two of them communicated with each other through their thoughts, and without wanting to fight, they immediately rushed out.

But how could the old Lushan God let these two people go? Roots rose from the ground one after another, like steel whips, lashing wildly.

However, the two men were as fast as lightning and did not bother to fight each other. They ran away from each other and rushed out of Lao Lu Temple in just a moment.

"Old Lushan God, you dare to ruin my good deeds? I think your position as mountain god has come to an end."

Guo Bo turned around and threatened, then ran to the edge of the mountain and jumped down at the same time as his companions.

The wind whistled in their ears, and the vines clinging to the rock wall suddenly came alive, like a group of snakes, stabbing and biting with fangs and claws, trying to stop the two men.

However, the two men were obviously experienced. When they were in the air, some of them had hidden swords to protect their bodies, while others were surrounded by sword beams.

The vines looked like a swarm of demons dancing wildly, but no one could get close to them.

"Bang!", "Bang!"

There were two sounds of things landing, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

This place is already on the edge of Lao Lu Mountain. The power of Lao Lu Mountain God has been infinitely weakened. If you still dare to chase us out, you are seeking death.

The two looked at each other and left.

No intention of stopping!

Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly sank into a quagmire. Looking down, he saw the shadow under the setting sun, like a wronged ghost or evil spirit, holding tightly to his feet.

"This is?"

"Lu Wujiu!"

The two of them looked at each other subconsciously, and saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

——Rumor has it that Lu Wujiu once demonstrated the art of controlling shadows at the Liuren Mountain Gate. I guess this was him who took action.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
"call out!"

A mysterious light shot up into the sky, its dazzling light shining like the sun, trying to cover up the setting sun. The shadows wrapped around their feet quickly faded away like smoke and dust.

The two of them glanced around and immediately spotted a small figure that looked like a child retreating towards the mountain.

"over there!"

The two of them spoke in unison and threw out a purple gold gourd as if prepared.

The gourd floated into the air, and its mouth swallowed the food, stirring up a howling gale. For a moment, the mountains and forests collapsed, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.

The figure trying to escape to the mountains was struggling and unable to run.

"disease!"

Guo Bo suddenly raised his magic sword, secretly pinched the magic spell, and hundreds of sword energies sealed in the magic sword whizzed out.

"Lihuo!"

Guo Bo's companion also let out a low shout, and the mysterious light that was shining in the sky suddenly exploded, turning into flames all over the sky and falling down.

"Boom!"

The sword energy whistled and fell, like rocks rolling down, rumbling.

The foot of Lao Lu Mountain also turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, and the dazzling flames illuminated all the darkness.

There was billowing black smoke rising into the sky.

Guo Bo secretly made a sword move, his eyes like torches, scanning the surrounding flames. His companion's hidden blade was even more roaming in the flames, leaving no chance of survival.

Dead?
Guo Bo pondered for a moment, then took out a spirit-calling banner. Just as he was about to summon the spirits to confirm the outcome of the battle, his companion suddenly said, "No, this isn't smoke, this is... fog!"

As soon as the voice fell, his body suddenly broke into pieces, and his internal organs were scattered all over the ground like mud.

Guo Bo, who was close by, had his pupils shrink suddenly. He clearly saw a blood-stained silk thread in the cut flesh.

He was so frightened that he instinctively retreated! At the moment he retreated, a sword light flashed across the place where he stood. After the sword light, the Taoist priest, who had missed, suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

"Lu Wujiu?!"

Guo Bo's scalp tingled, and he waved his sleeves. Countless talismans rushed out and exploded into flames in the sky.

However, Lu Wujiu's figure was no longer visible in the firelight. Having lost the cooperation of his companions, Guo Bo did not dare to fight and turned around to escape.

At this time, the fog in the sea of ​​fire became thicker and thicker. From a distance, there was no flame, but it looked like the rising sun in the sea of ​​fog.

"Tick, tick..."

The thick fog condensed into water droplets, which dripped and turned into drizzle, trying to put out the wildfire.

Thick fog obscured the view of the foothills, making it difficult for him to tell the direction.

Fortunately, there was a fire as a reference, so I just ran in the opposite direction.

"Whoo-"

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

But at the tip of his nose, he saw a silk thread as thin as a hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, stretching across the air.

If he had rushed forward one more step, his companions would have served as a warning to him.

He didn't have time to rejoice. He turned around and tried to leave when a sword flashed from behind his waist.

"Snapped!"

A pig dragon jade pendant on Guo Bo's waist shattered into pieces, turning into an arc of light that blocked the sword light.

He had no time to feel sad, he twisted his waist and tried to leave, but turned back halfway, but was blocked by a silk thread again. The twisting almost broke his old waist.

He was so frightened that he could only expand his spiritual thoughts to the extreme, but he found that his surroundings had been densely covered with silk threads at some point, trapping him in this small space.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At that moment, sword energy shot out from all directions, as dense as a storm, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"Pure Yang Sword Qi?!"

Guo Bo was stunned and could only swing his sword to block.

From a distance, it looked like a daisy suddenly blooming from the mist. Its petals were made up of countless sword beams, which suddenly went out in the flickering.

Guo Bo's eyes widened, his body stiffened, and a thin sword tip emerged from his mouth.

Behind him, the thin sword that pierced his neck was held in Lu Wujiu's hand. The broken spine was evenly mixed into the brain matter under the stirring of the extremely yang and strong sword energy.

"puff!"

Lu Wujiu drew his sword, and Guo Bo, who had lost his support, fell to the ground with a thud, and was cut into large pieces by the golden silkworm silk that was spread around him.

Looking at the ghost that was escaping from its body under the protection of the fog, he gently grabbed it, took it into his palm, took a quick look at it, and then stuffed it into the human skin book.

The fog gradually dissipated.

He looked back and saw that the wildfire at the foot of the mountain not far away was gradually dying out.

In the light of the fire, Wang Ying's body condensed again, almost transparent, and he walked over with a frightened look on his face.

"Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your timely rescue, my lord. Otherwise, I would have died." Wang Ying looked at the corpses in front of him with a lingering fear and asked, "My lord, who are they?"

Lu Wujiu shook his head: "I don't know him. You'll know after you interrogate the dead soul."

At this time, the old Lushan God also hurried over, his face pale as he bowed to Wang Ying and said:
"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I don't know what kind of poison these two beasts used. I was not paying attention and fell into their hands. The poison and fire attacked my heart and I almost died. I was unable to rush to your aid in time. I hope you can forgive me."

Wang Ying waved his hand to indicate it was nothing, but Lu Wujiu asked in surprise, "Poison?"

The old Lushan God quickly presented a piece of dead wood. On the dead wood, you could still faintly see green powder that had not yet dissipated. He pinched it with his fingertips and found that it was not poisonous. It seemed that it only had an effect on plants.

"These two came prepared!"

Lu Wujiu put away the dead wood and asked with concern: "Are you feeling well now?"

Lao Lushan God said: "I cut off part of my body in time, and it is basically fine now."

"It's good that you're alright!" Lu Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What exactly happened? Please tell me in detail."

The Old Lushan God said, "Yes, I don't know the specific situation. I just heard Liu Qingtan calling for help, so I rushed over. After rescuing Liu Qingtan, I saw these two beasts claiming to be from the Wudang Sect and trying to intimidate me. Seeing that I was unmoved, they used poison to break open my cage and escaped from the Old Lu Temple."

Wang Ying continued, "I received a message from the old man, so I intercepted them halfway. I never expected... I was almost killed by their combined strength."

After he finished speaking, his face was filled with frustration, and he no longer had the spirited demeanor he had when he climbed the stairs.

Lu Wujiu seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this, and then patiently asked for some details before returning to Lao Lu Temple.

At this time, Lao Luguan was in a mess!
In order to chase the murderer, the old Lushan God spread vines wildly, causing great damage to the Taoist temple, especially the guest rooms, which almost collapsed. The disciples in the temple were still frightened.

Lu Wujiu found Liu Qingtan and confirmed that he was fine. Then he asked about what happened. When he learned that he was rushing towards him, his heart sank.

At the same time, the ghost official in the human skin book also brought news, which made him frown.

Under the professional torture instruments, the two men, who were left with only their residual souls, offered almost no resistance and confessed everything.

However, the content of the explanation was irrelevant.

No matter how the interrogation was conducted, the confession was just a set of garbled content.

Lu Wujiu specifically called Cen Ying over and tried to interrogate her using the Flower and Willow Magic Technique, but the result was the same, and the content of the interrogation was still incoherent.

"Sir, these two are probably assassins."

"Death warrior?"

Cen Ying said, "Rumor has it that some prestigious families keep assassins to handle dirty work. When these assassins carry out their missions, they use special methods to seal their souls. Therefore, even if their souls are summoned, no one can get to know them."

Lu Wujiu asked, "Is there a solution?"

Cen Ying shook her head: "I don't understand this."

Lu Wujiu nodded and said, "Put him in jail!"

Cen Ying bowed: "Yes!"

Looking at Cen Ying's departing back, Lu Wujiu's calm face showed a hint of solemnity.

Yang Fengzhao had just said that someone was taking advantage of Zhao Wuji's rampant attack on Dongyuan's disciples to fish in troubled waters;
Unexpectedly, Lao Luguan was attacked right after.

However, judging from the details of their words and actions, they were not just taking advantage of the situation to target the disciples of Dongyuan;
It's more like it was directed at him.

So who wants to kill him, and what good will it do to kill him?
For a moment, a series of figures flashed through Lu Wujiu's mind. With the mentality of suspecting his neighbor of stealing his axe, he felt that everyone was somewhat suspicious!
Huanxi Hall, the Black Dragon King, even the Nanxiang Dharma Master of the Liuren Sect...

He prides himself on being relatively clean in his work, but the Xuanmen sect has many methods, and who knows where the information might be leaked.

In other words, if you have a weapon and want to kill, it doesn't matter if you don't have evidence. As long as you have a suspected target, it is undoubtedly the most reassuring to eradicate the root of the problem.

Haven’t you seen that even a powerful group like Wudang was tragically wiped out overnight because of a single mistake?
Nipping the threat in the bud is undoubtedly the right approach.

In addition, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. His soul water business may have also cut off some people's financial resources without them realizing it.

Or if it makes some people jealous, it would not be surprising if they took the opportunity to attack Lao Lu Temple.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and sighed in his heart, it is really true that when you are in the world, you have no choice! Sometimes, you don’t even know where the danger comes from?
Lu Wujiu returned to Laolu Temple full of doubts. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Qingtan suddenly came rushing over and said solemnly, "Mr. Lu, the main sect has sent a message, asking the disciples to return to the sect immediately!"

Lu Wujiu raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure it's from the Dongyuan Sect?"

Liu Qingtan presented a communication talisman with both hands and said, "This is a talisman unique to Dongyuan, and there is absolutely no possibility of imitation. I heard that the one who wiped out the Wudang clan was none other than the Great Elder of Dongyuan. Now that Wudang's Zhao Wuji is everywhere assassinating the Dongyuan branch, the main sect is worried about the safety of the branch, so they have recalled them and are providing centralized protection."

Just as Lu Wujiu was about to speak, a communication talisman quietly appeared before his eyes.

He took it and opened it. "Escort Liu Qingtan back to the sect immediately. There must be no mistakes. - Pang Chen."
