Immortal Road.

Chapter 240 The miserable old Mo
There were repeated battles on the river, with the three men fighting each other.

Li Yuanjie was the crown prince of a country, and he was able to escape to the State of Lu after traveling tens of thousands of miles while being hunted by the Star-Swallowing Sect. Naturally, he had real abilities. Gao Zuoda was also good at escaping. Both of them were outstanding people.

However, no matter how extraordinary the two were, they were only in the middle stage of foundation building. When they met Lao Mo, who was considered a great master even in the late stage, and with the assistance of Warcraft, they gradually became exhausted.

In the end, the two were defeated and had to continue to escape. Lao Mo just blocked Gao Zuoda, because he had half of the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique" in his hand, so he could not let him go back. Only Li Yuanjie escaped back to Tianfu Mountain alone.

……

"Snapped!"

The teacup was thrown into the lobby, and Mu Yan paced back and forth angrily in his own territory of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Looking at Li Yuanjie who was asking for forgiveness in the hall, he wanted to scold him severely, but after all, they were at the same mountain gate, and they would meet each other every day. Wu Hanqiao was also sitting nearby, and it was not convenient to lose face. He could only be secretly annoyed that the newcomer was a waste.

"It seems that only this hall master can do it personally. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, won't the Luxi cultivation world laugh at me for having no one in the Xungu Sect?"

At this time, another person stepped out from the hall. It turned out to be the two brothers who were the two tyrants of Rangshan.

"Master Mu, please don't worry. My brother and I have been living in the mountains for several months, but we have not achieved anything. We are restless and want to repay you for your kindness. Please give us a chance to make some achievements!"

Mu Yan turned around and saw that the two brothers, Song Zhong and Shang Lu, were strong and muscular, with ferocious faces, and were both masters of the late foundation building stage. He was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to lift them up and gently stroked their backs:

"You are truly my Fan Kuai!"

Fan Kuai was a well-known physical practitioner in the cultivation world of the State of Lu. He was once a butcher, but because he was born with an "ancient domineering body", he was very good at physical training. Eventually, he became a household name in the world of cultivation and a powerful cultivator with immeasurable power, who could be called a legend.

Just as Mu Yan was about to send the two brothers to rescue Gao Zuoda, a voice of opposition came from the other side:
"Wait a minute!"

It turned out to be Wu Hanqiao. He frowned slightly and reminded:

"Brother Mu, this is not right. The chief steward Lu Xiuming once said that the brothers Song Zhong and Shang Lu are stupid and ignorant. They are easily deceived by treacherous people and often mess things up. They only have force but no brains. They are as stupid as pigs and cannot be used for important tasks!"

The two bullies of Rangshan were furious, their eyes wide open, how could someone curse like that?

However, it was not Wu Hanqiao who evaluated them in this way, but the general manager Lu Xiuming. They dared not speak out and could only swallow their anger and remain silent.

Mu Yan couldn't help but retort: ​​"Brother Wu, what you said is wrong. Manager Lu may have had some prejudice against these two people back then, so he had a deep impression of them. Isn't it said that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence? After so many years, these two people should have matured a little."

The two tyrants of Rangshan nodded like chicks pecking at rice. All the people they had met in the past said that they were "more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything." This was the first time someone spoke well of them, and they couldn't help but show gratitude on their faces.

Wu Hanqiao secretly cursed Mu Yan for being cunning and only knew how to win people's hearts!

But he knew that this was something the leader had personally ordered, and if it went wrong it would be bad for no one:
"Brother Mu, Manager Lu has always been good at judging people. His words must not be ignored. You should take advantage of the situation to mobilize all the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall and go out in person!"

Mu Yan looked unhappy. He knew that Wu Hanqiao and Lu Xiuming had been friends for a long time. Both of them were top students of Jingyang Academy and could be regarded as master and disciple brothers. However, he was alone in the sect and it would be difficult for him to compete with him. He had to win over the new Foundation Establishment cultivators in order to consolidate his position and gain greater voice.

At this time, the two tyrants of Rangshan also hurriedly asked for orders and signed a military order.

Seeing this, Mu Yan handed the task over to them:
"I have made up my mind. I will leave this matter to you two. You must rescue Gao Zuoda. Do you understand?"

The two bowed and sang: "Yes, sir!"

……

After Li Yuanjie's defeat, Gao Zuoda was forced to flee. Lao Mo and his dog blocked the southwest and two directions, forcing Gao Zuoda to flee to the northeast, getting further and further away from Tianfu Mountain.
The intelligence disciples of Xun Gu Sect were also exhausted. They cast a wide net and tracked them down all the way. They finally determined their location. However, after reporting it to the mountain gate, the two men ran away and no one knew where they were.

After such delays, which lasted a full year and a half, the two brothers of Rangshan finally intercepted them in a hill in the north of Lu State with the support of intelligence.

Gao Zuoda is about to cry, you guys are finally here!
Being hunted every day was too hard to bear, and he had to be on guard against being bitten by dogs from time to time. Gao Zuoda looked haggard, his lips were chapped, his eyes were red, and he didn't even know what year it was.

When he had no backing, he was hunted by Lao Mo for ten years. Now that he has a backer, he is still being hunted. His life is really miserable.

However, when he saw that the visitors were the two brothers from Rangshan, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they were both in the late stage of foundation building, and even if they couldn't beat Lao Mo, they could at least draw.

Lao Mo played with the two short spears snatched from Dai Zonghui in his hands, looking into the distance with sharp eyes. It must be said that his resilience was very strong. He was still alive and well after being chased for so long, and his will was unshakable.

"Whoever is coming, please tell me your name!"

The second tyrant of Rangshan clasped his fists towards this side and shouted his own slogan:
"I am Shanglu, please get on the road!"

"I am Song Zhong, and I will see you off to the end!"

"I wonder what your name is?"

The old man remained silent. He had abandoned his real name for many years and had been lurking in Lu State using an alias. He had not received any mission for fifty years, as if he had been forgotten by the Demon Sect. He decided to fight to the death while there was still hope and take a shortcut to gain the young master's appreciation.

Therefore, this villain Gao Zuoda must be eradicated today!

Looking at the low hill ahead, he used all his strength without hesitation, swung his double halberds, jumped up, and released the dark demon dog to pounce on it.

“Woof woof woof!~~~~”

……

After a fierce battle, the hill was crumbling, full of potholes and holes, and was destroyed beyond recognition by four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lao Mo was covered in blood, kneeling on the ground with an indifferent look on his face, blood dripping down his halberd. The dark demon dog next to him was also whimpering sadly, having been seriously injured.

He was defeated, and defeated completely.

Only then did I realize that there are always people better than you.

The second bully of Rangshan was indeed born with supernatural powers. Although his brain was not very good, he was very strong. He grabbed Lao Mo and his dog and beat them up, making him lose his temper.

In addition, Gao Zuoda, the old scoundrel, also poisoned him with a very strong and tough poison.
In the distant sky, three black dots flew away rapidly. In the distance, along with the breeze, one could still hear Gao Zuoda's shouts of struggle and the stubbornness of the second tyrant of Rangshan.

"No. Isn't that the root of the problem?"

"We two brothers have only received orders to take you back to the mountain safely!"

"But wouldn't it be better to get rid of him?"

"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. The teacher of Shangyang Academy once taught us that when you besiege an enemy, you must leave a gap. Don't force the enemy to retreat. What if he strikes back before he dies?"

"He's been beaten up like that by the two of you, how can he fight back?"

"We two brothers have only received orders to take you back to the mountain safely!"

"But, there is only half of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique."

"We two brothers have only received orders to take you back to the mountain safely!"

"Please be flexible. Can't you use your brain?"

"We are brothers"

……

The breeze dissipated and the sound was vast.

Lao Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help coughing up a few buckets of blood. He put the dog back into the spirit beast bag and limped down the hill. He had to find a good place to heal his wounds as soon as possible, otherwise his life might be in danger.

……

Tianfu Mountain, Foreign Affairs Hall.

Mu Yan sat quietly on the high seat. In the past few years, the leader and deputy leader were still in seclusion, and the power in the sect was still controlled by the four senior leaders, who gradually developed a sense of majesty.

The two brothers, the two tyrants of Rangshan, stood on the left and right like door gods, their eyes not looking to the side, standing like iron towers.

Gao Zuozhang bowed cautiously in the hall, cold sweat dripping on his forehead, and he was extremely panicked.

"Captain Gao, where is the sect's secret method?"

Mu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and played with the iron egg in his hand. He didn't know who he learned it from.

Gao Zuoda took out half a piece of brocade tremblingly, and Song Zhong next to him took it and presented it.

Mu Yan looked at it for a long time, thinking:
"This Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique is indeed mysterious. Even with my level of cultivation, I can't comprehend it fully. It's like being in a fog."

Gao Zuoda replied awkwardly:
"Ahem, no, that's not it. Hall Master, with your talent, you can even comprehend the 'Dongxuan Miaolun Yinyang Shenqi Sutra', how could you not comprehend a body-building secret technique?" Mu Yan suddenly realized: "You mean, this secret technique is very complicated, and it is very likely to be more important than my Nine-Character Sutra. No wonder the leader vowed to obtain this method!"

Gao Zuoda gritted his teeth and explained: "No, I mean, this secret technique is incomplete now, only the second half is left."

Mu Yan nodded with a serious look on his face: "So that's how it is. I was worrying too much. I didn't expect that the Dai family only had an incomplete "Nine Transformations Golden Body Art". How did they forge their Immaculate Body before breaking through the Golden Core Stage?"

The second tyrant of Rangshan behind him made a hypothesis: "Could it be that everyone in the Dai family has an innate constitution and can form a pill without training their bodies?"

Gao Zuoda cursed the two idiots inwardly, saying they were so stupid, but he did not dare to lie and told them everything that happened two years ago between Zhaixing Valley and the Dai family's elders Dai Zonghui and Lao Mo.

There was a long silence.

"..."

After hearing this, Mu Yan just looked at him quietly, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

But the volcanic rage in it was sensed even by the two brothers behind him, who lowered their heads and kept silent.

Gao Zuoda was trembling all over, unable to bear the pressure, and said quickly: "No, Master, please listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to do that. I really..."

"Bang!~~~"

There was a loud bang and Gao Zuoda saw nothing but a blur before his eyes. He had no time to react and could only hastily use his protective magic weapon to block the attack. However, he was still kicked out of the hall and knocked down several walls, shocking the disciples walking outside in the mountains.

He was horrified. He didn't expect that the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who was obviously just a young man in the early stage of foundation building and usually kept a low profile, could kick him so far away with just one kick!

If this was a life-and-death fight, I would probably have been seriously injured by that move just now!

A voice came from the Foreign Affairs Hall: "Get back here!"

Gao Zuoda crawled back to the lobby and this time he knelt on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.

Mu Yan suppressed his anger. He didn't expect that Gao Zuoda had been deceiving him for two whole years. He thought he had really obtained the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique", but he didn't expect that it was only a fragment.

"Tell me! What is the origin of the person who is chasing you?"

"Hall Master, that man's nickname is Lao Mo. He used to be a small leader of a loan shark organization. He was in the late foundation building stage and had hundreds of ruffians under him. I was also hunted by him because I owed a loan shark and couldn't pay it back."

"What about the remnants of the evil sect?"

"The remnant of the demon sect is also Lao Mo. When I asked him to go to Zhaixing Valley to encircle and suppress the remaining branches of the Dai family, I didn't expect that he would release a black dog, a demon beast at the peak of the foundation building stage. He even practiced magic himself. In the end, Dai Zonghui, the elder of the Dai family, died because of the combined efforts of the two of us."

"Don't talk about those useless things. I just want to ask you, why is the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique in his hands?"

"Lao Mo claimed that he had been lurking in Lu for many years. He went there to collect body-building secrets for the Demon Sect's young master. So when my subordinates got the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, he forcibly took away most of it. I fought hard to protect the second half from him..."

"enough!"

Mu Yan shouted, ending his answer, and asked directly behind him:

"have you understood?"

The second tyrant of Rangshan replied in a muffled voice:

"no!"

Mu Yan: “.”

Gao Zhuangda: "."

Mu Yan suppressed his unhappiness and could not argue with the idiot. He glanced behind him with a stern look:
"You two, leave immediately, combine the clues provided by the Intelligence Hall, and bring back Lao Mo's head for me!"

"Do you understand this time?"

The second bully of Rangshan responded loudly: "I understand!"

After saying that, the two of them rushed out of the Foreign Affairs Hall in a hurry, and ran down the mountain gate in a cloud of dust. Gao Zuoda was still kneeling on the spot with cold sweat on his face.

……

Time flies, and another two years have passed.

Lao Mo was seriously injured in that battle. He originally wanted to find a place to heal his wounds, but he was targeted by the Intelligence Hall of Xun Gu Sect. He had no choice but to hide with his injuries.

Unfortunately, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. He could not run too far due to his injuries, and the unique poison that Gao Zuoda had given him was difficult to detoxify. He left clues while escaping, but was still caught by the Xun Gu Sect's intelligence personnel.

A plain in the northern part of Lu State.

The two brothers who are the two tyrants of Rangshan once again blocked Lao Mo and started beating him up.

Although Lao Mo fought hard, he was beaten half to death. Even the dark demon dog was useless. Even the dog was slapped twice.

Song Zhong took off Lao Mo's two hand halberds and grinned at Shang Lu:
"knock off!"

Two free and easy figures were left on the horizon.

Lao Mo stared blankly at the two men leaving, then he lay on the ground coughing up blood, his eyes blank and helpless.

……

"Snapped!"

Tianfu Mountain, Foreign Affairs Hall.

Mu Yan pointed at the two burly men in front of him. Under his feet were broken teacups and splattered tea. He was trembling and unable to speak.

"Master, we have taken down Lao Mo's halberd. Please have a look!"

The second bully of Rangshan shouted so loudly that his voice could be heard even outside the hall on purpose, and was heard by disciples passing by the mountain gate. There was a sense of smugness in his tone.

"I, I asked you to take off his head, not his hand halberd!"

Mu Yan yelled hysterically and was almost mad to death by them. Are these two people stupid?

But the two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong patted their chests, looking confident and affirmative.

"That's right, it's a hand halberd!"

"It's the head!"

"Yes, it's a hand halberd!"

"Idiot, it's the head, the head!"

"That's right! Hand halberd, hand halberd!"

"Pfft~~"

Mu Yan was so angry that he vomited blood.

The two brothers quickly supported him and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Mu Yan waved his hands helplessly, pointed at the two men and shouted angrily: "Is this hand halberd useless to me?!"

The two brothers looked hesitant: "Then should we send it back to him?"

"Pfft~"

Mu Yan was so angry that he spat out blood again. Is there something wrong with these two people's brains?

He knew he couldn't fight these two people, he couldn't win against them:
"Okay, I won't bother with you. I'm not anxious. I'm not angry. This time, cough cough cough. Remember this. I want Lao Mo's life!"

“Did you understand???”

The two brothers shouted in unison:
"I understand! The leader wants Lao Mo's life!"

Without saying a word, he dropped his double halberds and ran out of the mountain gate again.
