Yinshan Record

Chapter 788 Feigning Compliance, Illusory Dream, Demonic Body
Su Che landed slowly, while Dugu Chen and the other two Core Formation cultivators followed closely behind.

On the surface, it was four Rejuvenation Pill experts who descended, rather than the Void Stepping Master leading the group, but the King of Guzhu was still extremely respectful.

Behind him, a dozen or so richly dressed men and women knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Elder Yang's presence here is truly a sign of the sect's favor towards our dynasty..."

He mumbled a whole bunch of things there, and Su Che just wanted to laugh.

This Guzhu Kingdom wasn't a very large city, and its ruler lived a solitary life, ruling behind closed doors. In the Great Liang Dynasty, it wouldn't be much different from an ordinary prefecture-level city.

However, this is the most important territory under the rule of the Longevity Cult, no wonder the Black Blood Cult dared to come here.

What has the Changsheng Cult been doing all these years?
"Your Majesty is too kind."

Su Che looked pleadingly at Wanyan Sheng on the other side.

"Who among you will help the king up?"

"Esteemed Immortal Masters, Murong Ran has more to say."

The ruler of Guzhu looked up at Su Che above and spoke cautiously.

"Reporting to the elder, I am an unworthy ruler and have offended you in my time. Yet you have come to our aid, which shows Elder Yang's magnanimity..."

"What is all this nonsense?"

Su Che laughed heartily and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

“Lu Zheng is now under the Elder’s tutelage. He went too far with the Lu family back then. I was confused at the time. Please punish him if I am angry.”

Waiting for me here.

Su Che looked around.

Lu Zheng's enemies include Dugu Rou, who is likely connected to Dugu Chen in some way.

Although these three were sent here by Jin Yunu, they also hold positions in the Guzhu Kingdom, so they have probably been in cahoots for a long time.

"He is merely an ingredient for alchemy. I intend to use his extreme anger to create a powerful remedy for me. Your Majesty need not worry about it."

Su Che smiled slightly at both sides as he spoke: "Could it be that there is anyone in this sect who wants to talk about justice and make trouble out of nothing to uphold fairness? That would be too ridiculous."

Say it.

All around remained silent.

The king of Guzhu took a long time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

It's a ridiculous thing to talk about, but it's something we have to be wary of.

"I did see a talented and beautiful woman named Dugu Rou. I wonder what her relationship is with the Grand Tutor."

"Oh, it's my son."

Dugu Chen's face remained calm and composed, his smile still warm and friendly.

Su Che naturally knew that the reason why Lü Zheng's family suffered misfortune was because they were deliberately ambushed by the Dugu family of Guzhu Kingdom. He just did not expect that the Dugu family was so "deeply rooted" on the surface.

Dugu Chen held the position of Grand Tutor and was also a master of the Rejuvenation Pill under Jin Yunu. Although he was just a watchdog that Jin Yunu had thrown into the Guzhu Kingdom, he was a formidable figure to ordinary people.

"Indeed, he is exceptionally talented."

Su Che smiled slightly and said, "In that case, why don't you two become my disciples, Second Prince and Dugu Rou? What do you think?"

This person is actually so easy to talk to?
The king of Guzhu quickly agreed.

"Ah, if my son could receive the elder's protection, it would be his greatest fortune."

"That is Rou'er's good fortune. This disciple thanks the elder here."

Not only the two of them, but also Wanyan Sheng and Tuoba Guihai, who were standing nearby, rushed over to offer their congratulations.

"It's just a minor matter, but we still need to ask the senior members whether this is in accordance with the rules of our sect. After all, I am not a member of the sect, but an outsider."

Although Su Che was so humble, the others below him were also uneasy.

After all, Elder Yang has some underlying conflicts with Hua Gu and Jin Yunu. Hedging his bets on both sides could lead to future repercussions. "The King has arranged accommodations. Please go and rest, Elder."

Wanyan Sheng was the first to react, and said to Su Che with a smile, "The Second Prince and Rou'er are truly blessed to be able to become disciples of the elders."

"Isn't this also your good fortune? Rou'er is also your son-in-law. A son-in-law is like half a son."

Tuoba Guihai added, "How about I lead the way for the elder?"

"it is good."

Su Che nodded and then said to the king beside him, "I am a frugal person and do not like formalities. If there are any banquets later, they will all be canceled. I will take care of the affairs in the city myself, and I will inform you if there is any need."

The ruler of Guzhu Kingdom nodded in astonishment upon hearing this: "I will do as the elders say."

Su Che nodded and, with Tuoba Guihai leading the way, flew up towards the tall tower that represented the post station.

After the two flew high, Dugu Chen frowned and asked the King of Guzhu on the other side.

"Have everything been arranged at the post station?"

"nature."

The ruler of Guzhu nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged."

"That's good. Although I don't know what the sect's plans are, it's better to befriend one than not."

Dugu Chen nodded and asked with a smile.

"I wonder what the Black Blood Cult will want to appease them this time."

The ruler of Guzhu sighed with sorrow.

"It's nothing more than a transaction. There are a total of 367,800 people in the city, and 70,000 have already died. The fires burning corpses outside the east gate burn all night long. If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to recover."

"Someone from the sect has offered the Five Dragons Locking Pill. I have already purchased one, which should guarantee that you can still receive the pill."

Dugu Chen sighed and said, "Black Blood is really pressing us harder and harder..."

"If it doesn't work out, we'll switch to another company."

Wanyan Sheng said nonchalantly, "Black Blood is no respectable anyway, so let's just go along with them..."

The three of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, while a gentle breeze was blowing slowly through the city.

After passing through streets and alleys with their gates tightly shut, and traversing deserted stone paths, turning left and right, we finally rushed into a dilapidated temple.

In the very center of the dilapidated temple stood a twisted and exaggerated four-armed deity, with an exaggeratedly shaped woman on each arm, shaking her head and wagging her tail, doing something filthy.

A figure draped in a black robe sat cross-legged in front of the statue, motionless, as if dead.

"Have you seen the people from the Longevity Sect? Which of the Eight Sects' leaders is it?"

The dark figure asked the gentle breeze.

"It's neither of them; it's a new face with the cultivation level of the Core Formation stage."

"Damn it, looks like he's scared out of his wits and sent a scapegoat."

The dark figure grinned maliciously.

"It's a good thing we wanted to find someone to help us. Have they discovered our senior brother's whereabouts?"

"A few junior cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage are nothing to worry about. My Myriad Manifestations and Illusory Dream Demon Body was personally passed down by our ancestor. Even when Hua Ziliu used his demonic eyes to see it, it damaged his cultivation. Even if Hua Gu came herself, I wouldn't be afraid of her."

A gentle breeze blew, and it landed on the ground, transforming into a three-headed crow. Each head had eyes sewn shut with needle and thread, and a twisted, fleshy eye grew on its forehead.

"I'll make my move tonight."

The man in black robes let out a cold laugh.

"Investigate where they came from."
