Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

She was about to turn around and leave when a faint voice came from the shadows behind her.

"Since you're here, why not stay?"

The witch was horrified, but after seeing Anle's young face, she quickly smiled sinisterly: "Boy, don't underestimate me!"

For most warriors, the prime of life is the time when the energy and blood are the most vigorous, but Anle at the moment is just a weak scholar and does not look like a powerful figure.

Anle asked calmly: "Oh? Really?"

The evil spirits, big and small, that surged from the surroundings were evaporated by the blood and qi in just a moment, and even the strange energy became nourishing nutrients.

The witch was horrified and could only be taken away by Anle and handed over to Hai Yuqing.

******

Early the next morning.

More than a dozen landlords and wealthy people in Baoqi County rushed to the Sun family together, gathered in the meeting room, and discussed countermeasures together.

The head of the Sun family, with a big belly and sweat all over his face, sighed sadly: "Something happened!"

"The witch failed, and now we can't even find her."

Upon hearing the news, the landlords all changed their expressions.

Someone directly questioned the head of the Sun family with a gloomy face: "How can you be so bold as to attack the county government? If it is exposed, even we will be implicated!"

The head of the Sun family didn't tolerate this man either. He immediately stared at him and said, "Isn't this what we agreed on at the time?"

"Now you don't want to admit it? You really have a good plan!"

"you!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in public, Dong Shan immediately snorted coldly: "What are you quarreling about?"

"At this time, you're still just arguing?"

As soon as Dong Shan opened his mouth, the two men quickly quieted down, but they were still glaring at each other secretly, neither of them willing to give in.

As one of the largest families in Baoqi County, the Dong family’s words still carry some weight.

"But I didn't expect that even that witch failed..."

"I heard that it was a scholar following Hai Yuqing."

The other landlord still had a look of disbelief on his face. He had come into contact with the witch before, so he knew her methods better, which were extremely strange.

Even the fortune teller was unable to control the new county magistrate, which shows how extraordinary the scholar is, or perhaps Hai Yuqing has other cards up his sleeve that he has yet to use.

Dong Shan looked solemn, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Actually... it's not a bad idea to comply with his request and clear the fields for the time being."

He knew much more than the other landlords, so he understood more clearly that even the big shots from the Zhenling Division had tried personally before but failed to take down Hai Yuqing.

Recently, he has even ignored all his requests and just said "wait a little longer".

Dong Shan guessed that the other party was obviously afraid of something, so he kept delaying.

Dong Shan is a smart man.

Smart people naturally know best what is happening.

Even the big shots in the Zhenling Division are wary of this existence, so how could a few landlords and gentry possibly deal with it?

That's why I thought of surrendering to Hai Yuqing first and then making long-term plans.

This is only a temporary gain or loss, and it is still unknown who will win!

However, just because Dong Shan thinks this way doesn’t mean all landlords can think this way.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Sun family immediately frowned and shouted, "Absolutely not!"

"Only we occupy the farmland on weekdays. How can we ask the county magistrate to clear the land and return it to the common people?"

The person who had argued with him earlier said, "We must not set this precedent."

"Once this bad precedent is set, if the county magistrate dares to clear the fields today, he will dare to occupy our shops tomorrow, and he may even raid our house!"

"When the time comes, hundreds of years of foundation will be destroyed. How can I face my deceased ancestors?"

The other landlords nearby echoed in response: "Master Dong, please think twice!"

"Your Dong family is mainly engaged in the weaving business, so we don't have that many fields. But our family is different. If we really start clearing the fields, it will be like cutting our flesh with a knife!"

Originally, several landlords were interested, but after hearing these words, they all changed their minds silently.

Listening to their words, Dong Shan sneered in his heart.

To put it bluntly, this group of people are used to acting like masters on a daily basis and are very good at abusing their power, but now they are unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss.

But even though they understood it, Dong Shan couldn't persuade them.

Moreover, the Dong family has been developing in Baoqi County for such a long time that it has long been intertwined with other families, with various intermarriages emerging one after another.

Dong Shan had one of his concubines, who was from the Sun family.

By then, if they really uproot their family, their Dong family will probably be seriously damaged.

No matter what, they are not good enough!

Thinking of this, Dong Shan couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and asked, "So what are you going to do next?"

This question stumped everyone. If they didn't know what to do, why would they gather here?

All the landlords put forward some ideas at once, and without exception, they were all bad ideas and were rejected by others.

At this time, the head of the Sun family suddenly remembered something and looked at Dong Shan with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Since it has already been done, it is better to do it thoroughly."

"Boss, I heard that you are quite familiar with that old immortal Wuxu, why don't you ask him to help..."

Upon hearing this, Dong Shan felt that this method was somewhat feasible.

In Dong Shan's opinion, the old immortal Wuxu is extremely mysterious. No one has ever seen his true appearance, and his strength is unfathomable.

Although the opponent doesn't seem to have actually made a move yet, the fact that even several third-level warriors cannot tell his true strength is a good indicator of his ability.

If we ask him to come out and deal with the scholar next to Hai Yuqing, it will most likely be a sure win.

But the problem is that Dong Shan clearly noticed that Immortal Wuxu had become more profound and simple in his explanations recently, and sometimes he would not come out to greet Dong Gaohan even when he came to visit him.

Dong Shan suspected that Immortal Wuxu might be at a critical stage in his practice, and his demand for silver was not as great as before.

In this case, asking Immortal Wuxu for help would cost a lot of money... which would definitely not be a small amount.

Dong Shan glanced at the people in front of him and shook his head in his heart.

Given the personalities of these wealthy landlords, asking them to spend more money would be more painful than killing them.

But if you lose money, you can earn it again.

If people are gone, everything is gone!

Dong Shan understood this truth only after he witnessed the closure of Xuanling Martial Arts School.

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Shan said, "Actually, I'm not that familiar with Immortal Wuxu, but I can certainly ask for a favor. Old Sun, why don't you come with me to the Taoist temple in person?"

"If the deal is successful, the money will be shared by everyone."

The Sun family's patriarch's eyes lit up: "I think it's okay!"

After hearing this, the other landlords also thought that this was a good idea, and they selected two more people as representatives, preparing to put on a show of "respecting the wise and humble".

******

Since it concerns their own land and money, the landlords are naturally more active than anyone else.

The action was swift and resolute.

Just that morning, each of them brought one or two servants and hurried towards the Wuxu Taoist Temple.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone was surprised to find that there were quite a few people in the Taoist temple.

There were young men and women from landlord families, some gangsters dressed in tight clothes, and common people dressed in coarse linen clothes.

Dong Shan took a look and knew that most of these civilians were ignorant men and women from the neighborhood. They had heard of the great name of the immortal Wuxu from somewhere, so they worshipped him as a god.

Anyway, there is no loss in believing it.

After taking two more steps forward, Dong Shan heard a call.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Dong Gaohan asked in surprise. He was accompanied by several young masters and ladies from landlord families.

Seeing the people behind Dong Shan, Dong Gaohan was startled and asked respectfully, "Is this Uncle Sun?"

"I met you once when I was a child."

Sun Youwei glanced at Dong Gaohan, his expression slightly surprised: "Old Dong, this is your youngest son, right?"

"You've grown this big?"

"And this Qi and blood... is almost breaking through the second realm? I heard you say before that he is not even in the first realm. He is not so good at hiding his abilities!"

His tone was full of appreciation.

In Baoqi County, to be so young and about to reach the second realm is enough to be called a "young talent" with unlimited future prospects.

A look of surprise flashed across Dong Shan's face. During this period of time, he had been focusing mainly on Hai Yuqing's affairs and had not really paid much attention to his youngest son.

Originally, Dong Shan thought that as long as he didn't get into any serious trouble, he could live two more years. However, he didn't expect that Dong Gaohan's cultivation had actually improved so much!

Dong Gaohan couldn't hide his satisfaction and couldn't help but say, "It's just a small breakthrough, nothing to be proud of."

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame my extraordinary talent!"

The boastful tone made his companions behind him want to punch him.

"Isn't it all thanks to the old immortal Wuxu?"

A young girl couldn't help but said, "Dad, if you gave me one thousand more taels, I would have already reached the second level now!"

Sun Youwei's expression changed. The person who spoke was actually one of his little daughters.

The girl was staring at him with a look of grievance and dissatisfaction on her face.

At this moment, Dong Shan suddenly came to his senses. He had not given Dong Gaohan any money recently. Where did this money come from?

Dong Shan pulled Dong Gaohan aside and stared at him fiercely: "Where did you get the money from?"

Dong Gaohan's momentum instantly withered: "I got it from my mother."

"How much did you take?"

"Two thousand taels..."

Dong Gaohan said confidently: "Dad, believe me, this money is worth spending!"

"I will soon be able to reach the second realm. When that happens, won't you be able to hold your head high in front of the Sun family?"

Dong Shan clenched his fists, wishing he could slap this rebellious son to death. With two thousand taels of silver, he didn't know how many times he could hire a second-level warrior to take action.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not unacceptable.

After all, my son's realm has really improved. He has really broken through the second realm. Maybe he can take the examination to become a martial artist.

Dong Shan was about to open his mouth to teach them a lesson when he suddenly noticed that the warriors and civilians not far away had expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.

Someone shouted in the crowd.

"Old Immortal Wuxu, your power is boundless!"

Finally I said this line! I feel so good!

Chapter 202: Blood Lotus Platform and Yellow Robe Immortal

"Old Immortal Wuxu, your power is boundless!"

At first there were only two or three sporadic voices, but soon the voices gradually became one, and even Dong Gaohan couldn't help but shout.

Looking at the excitement, anticipation, and faint enthusiasm on those people's faces, Dong Shan felt a sudden chill in his heart and asked his son.

"What's happening here?"
