Chapter 457 Arriving Late, My Back Hurts (Part 1)

Li Hong's body lay on the ground, and Su Che stretched out his hand to extend his magic power.

Su San Gongzi is using a secret method to imprison Li Hong's soul.

We are about to reach Baichi Tianya. Every second wasted here will greatly increase the danger of facing a fourth-rank master.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

First, kill him. As for any other information, it can be obtained by capturing his soul. Once the soul of this True Lord of Peace is taken away, and he is tortured, many secrets of White Deer Cave can be easily solved.

However, the reality was somewhat unexpected for Su Che.

Lu Bai and Zhu Yi wrapped up the head of the True Lord of Peace, while Wu Zhiqi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

"No living soul?" Gu She naturally realized that Su Che was using methods to lock Li Hong's soul.

"Indeed. He seems to be a soulless person."

The Taiping Zhenjun before them seemed to have no living soul at all.

Humans are born with a soul and a spirit, one pure and one impure, yet inseparable.

However, this True Lord of Peace seems to possess only a turbid soul and no true spirit.

Anyway, this game is finally over.

"Perhaps this is the essence of the mysterious arts in White Deer Cave. Fate is mysterious and profound, and it seems that it still involves methods on the soul. However, since Master Zhong is on the way, and this journey is now over, may you all take care."

Su Che gave a slight bow.

"That's right."

Wu Zhiqi smiled, and a strange ripple arose between heaven and earth, seemingly echoing Su Che's words. The figures of the three of them gradually faded into the air.

"Void teleportation?"

Who are these people?

When Lu Bai and Zhu Yi saw this scene, all they could think of was the legendary great supernatural power.

The ability to teleport through the void cannot be mastered by anyone other than a True Immortal. Behind these three Rejuvenating Pill cultivators is a hidden force.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Su Che drew a conclusion.

In reality, I'd rather stay as far away from Zhongshan as possible.

Zhongyuan has grand ambitions, aiming to rebuild the ancient Heavenly Court. Moreover, Su Che believes that Zhongyuan's schemes and plans this time even surpass those of the Five Emperors when they were still around. For example, he plans to rebuild the ancient Underworld with the Yin-Yang Dharma King and himself as the core.

Such a scheme would naturally be aimed at an opponent who is not even on the same level as oneself.

Therefore, we should focus on development and bide our time.

Su Che weighed Li Hong's head in his hand and tossed it to Lu Bai, who was standing to the side.

Regardless of what new product this True Lord of Peace is, created by the White Deer Cave, he has already fulfilled his greatest value.

There was no point in staying any longer in Shanyin County. Su Che immediately conjured four strong horses, and together with the little fox, they made a hasty escape.

Su Che left, and Shanyin County was in chaos.

No, most of Cizhou is now in complete chaos.

For the newly formed rebel army and the Great River Alliance behind them, Yu Chen was a core figure. Now that this central figure has been violently removed by Su Che, all that remains is chaos.

For example, at this moment, there was an unexpected guest in Yue Luan's tent.

A burly man with a gloomy face stood in Yue Luan's tent. He was tall, with a leopard-like head and bulging eyes, and a bluish-gray beard. He was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit. He was unsure whether to stand or sit.

"Elder Jin, relax." Yue Luan put his hands in his sleeves and sat comfortably cross-legged on the blanket.

"Brother Yue...I..."

Yue Luan nodded, as if to say, "I understand you," with everything understood without words.

Indeed, this Elder Tie deserted.

"We all bear responsibility for the assassination of Alliance Leader Yu."

Yue Luan said calmly, "But it's not just you and me who are responsible."

"Aren't the three demons of Xuanshan and that Yaksha prince also holding back? And what about that Sikong Tu? How did Alliance Leader Yu treat him back then? Isn't that guy ungrateful?"

Jin Li shook his head. The three demons of Xuanshan could be said to have something to hide if they didn't make a move, while Sikong Tu's inaction was seen as ungrateful. But he and Yue Luan were, after all, elders of the Great River Alliance, truly their own people, and yet they still didn't intervene.

"But if Master Zhong comes to question us, how will we explain? The Alliance Leader and Elder Leng were assassinated by thieves right in our heartland, and there are more elixir cultivators standing by and watching than assassins."

Tie Ning looked distressed.

“We can’t just be at odds with us,” Yue Luan said rather bluntly. “If White Deer Cave wants to take over this business, they might as well kill us all. They don’t lack Rejuvenation Pills anyway, so they can just send out all their disciples.”

Yue Luan gently patted Jin Li's shoulder: "Don't worry, Bailudong won't do anything to us."

Master Yue only said half of what he meant. He was only temporarily residing in the Great River Alliance. If the White Deer Cave really wanted to settle accounts, he could simply pack up and leave.

I'll just find another place to hide.

"If you're worried, brother, you can go directly to the imperial court. The Censorate is always short-staffed, and there's also the Jingye Division."

Yue Luan smiled broadly.

"We are originally independent cultivators. If we can't get through to the imperial court, we can still go to the East Sea to live a carefree life. Isn't that just as comfortable? The White Deer Cave Steward doesn't go to the east."

Yue Luan cleared his throat: "Speaking of which, there really is another urgent matter."

Jin Li looked at Yue Luan. When he first joined the Great River Alliance, Yue Luan was already a well-known expert in the alliance. After so many years, his seniority in the Great River Alliance was beyond question.

Now that Yu Chen is gone, Jin Li still has some lingering thoughts.

The alliance leader is gone, but the Great River Alliance cannot simply collapse, especially considering the foundation we have built up. Although we have lost two Rejuvenating Pills, we still have almost the entire Cizhou under our control.

If Yue Luan were to succeed as the leader of the alliance, and another Taiping Zhenjun were to be invited from Bailudong, then this grand rebellion could continue.

At most, it's just that the former leader was Yu, and now the leader is Yue.

"It's this foundation we have right now."

Yue Luan looked at Jin Li and said, "In my opinion, it is still necessary for you to take over the family business, brother."

"Me? No, no, please ask Elder Yue to come..."

"I'm old and useless. Besides, I've divined that people with the surname Yue are incompatible with the leader of the alliance. If I were to become the leader, something bad would definitely happen. Brother Jin, you should take over. I'll just play the supporting role as before."

Yue Luan looked at Jin Li with a smile.

At this moment, he could already feel a strange fluctuation spreading between heaven and earth.

That is a realm unique to the Void Step Realm.

At this level, practitioners can, to some extent, influence or even alter the mysterious laws governing the workings of heaven and earth.

Currently, only one person can bring about this level of change.

That Master Zhongjia, the famous Bailudong (White Deer Cave) with its hundred-foot cliff.
