Chapter 616: The fire dragon burns the warehouse and succeeds as the king (4k6, please subscribe)
“It’s just stubborn resistance.”
Zhuang Shou changed his image of a good old man in front of Wei Tu and Sect Leader Zhu. At this moment, his face was very cold, with a bit of murderous intent.
Disobeying the orders of the sect and carrying out separatist behavior is something that any high-ranking member of the Jishan Sect would find unbearable on the surface.
However, this is also in line with his wishes.
Without this, he would have received the decree from Sect Master Zhu to massacre these old disciples and blood descendants of Feng Han, which would inevitably lack some justification and appear cruel.
After finishing his words, Zhuang Shou turned to look at Wei Tu. After getting Wei Tu’s approval, he flipped his right palm over, took out a vermilion token, and inserted several magic spells into it.
next moment.
This vermilion token shot out a spiritual light and landed on the formation mask of Linglu Peak.
In an instant, this thick formation mask melted and disappeared quickly like snow melting in the spring sun at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“His Majesty’s decree?”
Seeing this scene, the faces of the cultivators of the Hall of Merit who were waiting suddenly changed slightly, knowing what a stupid thing they had done.
If only Sect Leader Zhu gave the order, their Merit Palace could still resist a little or two. After all, there are many “Feng Han disciples” leading the way at the moment who can give advice to Venerable Han Yue.
The sect is based on human relationships, not just killing.
As long as Venerable Han Yue is kind to him, even if Feng Han commits the serious crime of raiding and killing his fellow sect members as stated in the “family raiding order”, the Hall of Merit and Virtue can still be preserved as completely as possible.
There are cases in the history of the Jishan sect that only punished the culprit.
But now, Zhuang Shou is holding the “Venerable Decree”, which means that the road they can use to save themselves and ask Venerable Hanyue for mercy has been directly blocked by Zhuang Shou and Wei Tu.
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a sin for them to continue to resist.
After all, many of them are not the core members of the Hall of Merit. After the butcher’s knife is raised, there should be a lot of people who can survive.
However-
Just when some monks in the Gongde Hall had this thought, they saw several members of the Fenghan sect in the Nascent Soul Realm. Without any explanation, they directly sacrificed their magic weapons and rushed towards Zhuang Shou and Wei Tu outside the peak.
“How can we survive alone if the master of the palace dies?”
These people shouted sharply.
As soon as the words fell, a large number of cultivators from the Gongde Hall flew out and charged towards Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou without fear of death.
Following.
It was like a rain of blood falling.
The monks who led the battle were crushed by their realms, their blood stained the sky, and they died on the spot.
…
Half a day later.
The sky above Linglu Peak was completely silent. Only the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Finance Hall led by Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou were left, as well as some surrendered and non-core monks of the Merit Hall.
“Pity!”
Weitu, who was in the clouds, lowered his head and glanced down. Among the corpses, there was a woman in a colorful dress whose head was penetrated by a finger.
This woman was Feng Yuxiang, Feng Han’s daughter, whom he met when he attended Feng Han’s family banquet before.
At that time, Feng Han wanted to form an alliance of interests with him, so he wanted to sign a marriage contract with Feng Yuxiang.
However, he declined.
Over the past few years, he has met this woman more than a dozen times, and she is considered an acquaintance.
Although he had expected what would happen to this woman after Feng Han’s defeat, after seeing her today, he still couldn’t help but feel regretful.
However, it is only a pity.
Otherwise, he would not sit back and watch this woman being killed by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Without the several previous encounters, he might not even have this feeling.
—He has seen too many lives and deaths.
In the final analysis, basically none of the monks from the Hall of Merit among the corpses deserved to die.
These people, on the contrary, are very bloody. They know that after Feng Han fails in the power struggle, they will not be able to escape, so they choose to fight to the death rather than surrender.
“Give him a good burial.”
“Feng Han can lose his bottom line, but you and I can’t.”
Wei Tu waved his hand to wipe away the blood on Linglu Peak, turned to look at Zhuang Shou aside, and said lightly.
“A generous burial?”
Zhuang Shou was surprised when he heard this.
He was not surprised by this decision, but he was surprised that the person who said this was actually Wei Tu?
After all, the current Wei Tu is said to be a monk of the Jishan Sect, but both he and Sect Leader Zhu regard Wei Tu as a “casual cultivator” who joined the Jishan Sect, not one of their own.
Hence, when Wei Tu said this, it was inevitable that he would appear to be disobedient.
Otherwise—
In his memory, Wei Tu was a self-interested person who was “skilled in seeking personal gain”. He jumped from serving as a worshiper of the Luqiu clan to serving as an elder of the Jishan Sect, and now he has jumped to the position of master of the Hall of Merit.
How can such a self-interested person say such generous words?
It’s really surprising.
“Perhaps I misjudged this.”
Zhuang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, and his view of Wei Tu changed slightly.
…
After the bloodbath in the Gongde Palace, Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou didn’t waste any time and started “ransacking their homes” directly.
In a short period of time, they found more than 5,000 spiritual crystals and three fourth-level magic weapons from the dead core disciples of the Hall of Merit.
There are countless elixirs, magic weapons, and elixirs of all levels left.
“In the Hall of Merit, the real value is the high-quality treasures in the sect that can be exchanged for contribution points.”
“These treasures belong to the public family. On weekdays, it is not easy for us, the palace master, even Sect Master Zhu, to access them.”
Walking to the door of the Gongde Hall, Zhuang Shou pulled the corner of Wei Tu’s sleeve and whispered.
“What does Master Zhuang mean?”
Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and felt something in his heart. He understood that Zhuang Shou was planning to conspire with him to carry out “Fire Dragon Burning the Cang”.
—The “ranscoping” of the Merit Hall mentioned by Sect Master Zhu this time does not include the various treasures in the Merit Hall that can be exchanged by the monks of the sect.
These treasures do not belong to the Hall of Merit, but to the “public family” of the Jishan Sect.
The Hall of Merit is only responsible for caretaking.
In order to prevent the Gongde Hall from stealing, these treasures, whether low-level or high-level, have been placed under certain restrictions by the Jishan Sect. If you want to take them away, you must have the Sect Master’s token from Master Zhu. Otherwise, even if you are the Master of the Gongde Hall, It is also difficult to break through these restrictions in a short time and steal treasures.
But… at this moment, the two of them happen to have the sect leader’s token in hand.
Nowadays, it is another chaotic time suitable for stealing treasures.
With this token, it is not difficult for the two of them to steal these treasures from the Hall of Merit.
Afterwards, just shift the blame for this crime to Feng Han, a dead man.
The dead cannot speak.
“Hey, that’s not what I meant. It’s what the sect leader meant.” Zhuang Shou smiled and replied.
“What does the suzerain mean?”
Hearing this, Wei Tu was startled for a moment, feeling surprised.
But soon, he figured it out.
The suzerain and the suzerain are also different.
In the Jishan Sect, the real leader is Venerable Han Yue. Although Sect Master Zhu is not a puppet, he is at best a high-level wage earner who “co-ruminates” the Jishan Sect with many senior officials in the sect.
In other words, what Sect Leader Zhu can do can only be done under the rules of the sect.
Simply put, its capabilities are limited and it does not have the strength to turn Jishan Sect into its own private property.
If you want to redeem the treasures in the Hall of Merit, you must accumulate contribution points in the door.
Normally, there are no shortcuts at all.
But things are different now. With Feng Han, the “scapegoat” here, Sect Master Zhu can now “falsely serve the public good for private gain”.
“I just don’t know if Sect Leader Zhu stole the treasures from the Gongde Hall, did he take advantage of the situation, or did he do it with deliberate intentions.”
Wei Tu thought secretly.
If it was the latter, he would have to be wary of Sect Master Zhu in the future. Such a person’s character deserves the word “vicious”.
“I wonder which treasure Zhu Zong wants to take?” Wei Tu asked first.
If the treasure “stealed” by Sect Master Zhu is too valuable, Feng Han alone may not be able to carry it.
“It’s a purple jade tripod.”
Zhuang Shou nodded and named the treasure that Sect Master Zhu coveted.
As if he had guessed Wei Tu’s concerns, after Zhuang Shou said this, he continued to say: “Don’t worry! The Purple Jade Cauldron is just an ordinary treasure. The sect won’t care about it. Even if he really guessed it, he wouldn’t care about it.” Peel through this layer of skin.”
The voice fell.
Wei Tu thought for a moment, then nodded.
The Purple Jade Cauldron is not of high value. It is just a special fourth-level magic weapon. Fenghan can still carry this pot on his back alone.
If in the future, other high-level officials of the Jishan Sect question whether Sect Master Zhu has “Feng Han” taking the blame, they can directly put it down.
And if Venerable Hanyue questions…
Even if Zongzhu Zhu throws the pot on the two of them, it may not be of any use.
Even more so, Venerable Hanyue had tacitly approved of this act of stealing the sect’s public property.
It’s the same sentence.
Jishan Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years. The various halls and peaks within the sect have been extremely closed and fragmented, forming their own kingdoms internally.
The same applies to the lineage including Venerable Han Yue and Sect Master Zhu.
The interests it pursues are sometimes not in sync with the interests pursued by the Jishan Sect, a large sect.
Now that there is a reputation to borrow, it might not be a bad idea to take a bite from the “public family” of Jishan Sect.
Otherwise—
Weitu estimates that the “stain” of Sect Master Zhu may have been exposed deliberately in order to gain control over each other and draw him into the direct lineage camp.
Just like what happened with Lu Qiu Qingfeng back then.
—If he and Luqiu Qingfeng had not conspired to kill Luqiu Jinyuan…and there was pressure from the Luqiu clan from outside, it would have been difficult for the two of them to come together and form an offensive and defensive alliance.
…
Conversation room.
Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou walked inside the Hall of Merit.
The two of them opened the warehouse of Merit Hall with the help of Sect Leader Zhu’s token.
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Tu was shocked by the various precious treasures displayed on the shelves.
Of course, he pretended this deliberately.
Although there are many treasures in the Palace of Merit, they are still far behind the real treasures in the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.
In his opinion, these treasures combined may not be as valuable as his two spiritual treasures, the “Xuanling Golden Chain” and the “Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring”.
Especially the latter.
It is a rare spiritual treasure that reaches the sky in the human world.
Zhuang Shou on the side saw Wei Tu’s performance and was slightly satisfied. No matter how talented he is, without the support of the Jishan Sect, it is difficult to go further.
He waved his sleeves, took away the purple jade cauldron, and said with a smile: “This time, you and I will work for Sect Master Zhu. Sect Master Zhu may have promised that after taking away the purple jade cauldron, you and I can each take a treasure. , but remember not to take treasures that are too precious and eye-catching.”
The voice fell.
Zhuang Shoudang walked to the elixir area without ceremony and directly took out a fourth-level high-grade elixir that increased mana from the shelf.
Only an empty bottle is left on top.
Arrived at Weitu.
Wei Tu didn’t pretend to be noble and refused this kind offer. He thought for a moment, walked to the “Elixir Zone” and took down a plant called “Purple Golden Ginseng”.
Purple golden ginseng is different from ordinary elixirs. It is a rare high-level secret elixir for body refining in the world of immortality.
At this moment, he took this purple golden ginseng to plan for his own body refining.
On the path of refining qi, as long as he follows the steps step by step, he can expect to reach the realm of spiritual transformation.
But on the journey of body refining…
Now it is almost difficult for him to see the “way ahead”.
Without it, there are too few body refining resources available for body refining practitioners.
Including this “Purple Gold Ginseng”, according to his estimation, it can only advance his body refining realm to the mid-level fourth level of body refining, “Dacheng”, and break through a small realm.
The subsequent realm can only rely on accumulated practice over time.
“Purple golden ginseng?”
“By the way, he is still a body-refining monk.”
Zhuang Shou was surprised for a moment when he saw Wei Tu picking the elixir “Purple Golden Ginseng”, and then he remembered that the information about Wei Tu said that Wei Tu was a fourth-level body refiner.
“Elder Wei, if you need the secret medicine for refining the body in the future, you can contact Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang knows which Taoist friends have this collection on their bodies.”
Zhuang Shou stepped forward and offered Wei Tu a good deal.
As the master of the Finance Palace, he is in charge of the financial issues of the Jishan Sect and is much better informed than others.
Hearing this, Wei Tu’s eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly thanked Zhuang Shou.
With Zhuang Shou’s words, he really felt at this moment that he was right to join Sect Leader Zhu.
…
According to the earlier agreement, after the interests were divided, Wei Tu stayed in the Gongde Hall and temporarily guarded the “Fenghan remnant party”, while Zhuang Shou led the crowd to the main hall of the Jishan Sect to pay homage to Sect Master Zhu.
At this point, all the top leaders of the Jishan Sect were able to know that the internal fighting within the sect that had lasted for more than 20 years had finally come to an end.
The practitioners were very sad about this.
After all, neither Feng Han nor Palace Master Luo is the winner in this internal fight.
Feng Han ended up dead.
Although Master Erluo had avenged his great revenge, his legal body was severely damaged, and he had no hope of transforming into a **** since then, and his path was cut off.
There is only one winner, and that is Wei Tu, who took over the position of the master of Fenghan Gongde Hall.
However, due to the fact that Wei Tu’s Talisman Dao talent is not low, his strength is not ordinary, and “Jian is in the emperor’s heart”, the cultivators did not dare to say too much and could only silently accept this result.
Wei Tu has a record of success.
They don’t want to be Li Donghai’s second best and be directly killed by Wei Tu with seven golden cauldron talismans.
In this atmosphere, Wei Tu borrowed the “Purple Golden Ginseng” he had obtained from his own pockets to successfully break through to the fourth-level mid-level “Dacheng” in body refining, which was only one step away from the mid-level peak.
However, after the breakthrough, Wei Tu did not rush to find Zhuang Shou to seize other secret body refining medicines that he knew. Instead, he concentrated on staying in Linglu Peak and continued to practice in seclusion.
After the Feng Han incident is over.
Zongzhu Zhu also assigned him a task.
That is, within three hundred years, try to successfully draw the double golden tripod talisman.
Once successful, the Jishan Sect will be rewarded heavily.
Of course, he was practicing in seclusion at this time. He was not anxious to draw the two-fold golden tripod talisman, but had other things to do.
Thirty years have passed, and the “Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring” he practiced using the blood sacrifice technique of “Three Yang Blood Sacrifice” finally responded.
The Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring is a spiritual treasure that reaches the sky. It must be activated by the Treasure-Tong Jue. Using the Three Yang Blood Sacrifice technique to practice it, you can only use 20% of the power of this treasure at most.
However, these two percent of power are already extremely powerful in the human world.
Wei Tu has never entered the realm of transformation into gods, so he dare not speak too fully. But when dealing with monks below the realm of transformation into gods, with the help of this treasure, he believes that few people will be his opponents.
“It’s just that this blood refining technique consumes a lot of blood. Even with my body refining skills, I can only activate it three times at most, so I don’t dare to activate it any more.”
In the retreat room, Wei Tu looked pale. He looked at the five-color bracelet suspended in the air, and a trace of lingering fear flashed across his face.
Just now, he tried to activate the “Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring” using the blood refining method, but as soon as he activated it, he felt that more than half of the blood essence in his body was instantly lost out of thin air.
If he hadn’t had the ability to refine his body, he had no doubt that the blow just now would have been enough to **** an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul master dry and completely destroy his body.
“This treasure, if you can’t use it, try not to use it.”
Wei Tu shook his head, waved his hand, put the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring back into his storage bag, and began to retreat and regulate his breathing.
A few months later.
His depleted essence and blood were replenished one by one.
At this moment, Wei Tu suddenly discovered that there was a talisman letter bearing the mark of Lu Qiu Qingfeng at the door of his cave.
“The successor to the throne invites me to be a guest…”
Wei Tu glanced at it and instantly understood the contents of the talisman letter.
