Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 627 Revealing the Truth
Shang Lu not only fooled the guards of the Fairy Spirit Market by using his identity as a member of the Li family and easily left the valley, but also left the Li family with a "generous gift".

Just as Seventeenth Brother was being brutally beaten, bound by his own clansmen, and sent before the elders, a series of witch talismans suddenly activated within the Immortal Spirit Market.

These talismans were secretly hidden by Shang Lu while he was browsing the Fairy Market.

There were already quite a few witch talismans for sale in this fairy market, but the witch talismans that Shang Lu had hidden had not been activated before. Therefore, the Li family did not find the existence of these witch talismans during their search for the "mysterious scholar".

By the time the talisman was activated and they could react, it was too late.

Beams of light, accompanied by sounds, burst forth from these talismans and appeared in various places in the Immortal Spirit Market, immediately attracting curious glances from the crowd.

What appeared in the light and shadow was the scene of the Li family members sealing off the inn, forcing the Pang brothers to hand over their seventh-grade remnant spiritual roots, and then forcibly taking them after being refused, killing the Pang brothers.

The account of events differed significantly from what the Li family members had reported to the elders.

They only used coercion, not bribery.

I thought the Pang brothers would be intimidated by their identities and obediently hand over their seventh-grade remnant spiritual roots.

Unexpectedly, the two brothers were unyielding to both soft and hard tactics.

Moreover, the Pang brothers cultivated a path of killing and violence. Their actions directly enraged the Pang brothers, igniting a boundless killing intent within them…

What these members of the Li family didn't expect was that someone actually used a witch's talisman to record their actions and make them public!
It turned out that Shang Lu had already become wary when the elders of the Li family lowered their divine senses to monitor him.

He had also hinted to the Ponzi brothers, urging them to leave quickly.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Pang brothers were only focused on their excitement at selling the divine tablet and obtaining the seventh-grade remnant spiritual root, and they didn't pay any attention to the hint given by Shang Lu.

When Shang Lu bid farewell to the Pang brothers, he secretly left behind a bronze ant.

Originally, he wanted to use the copper ant to eavesdrop on the Pang brothers' conversation and see if they were hiding anything about the divine tablets.

Unexpectedly, this led him to obtain evidence of the Li family's murder and robbery!

Upon discovering that the Li family had guarded the entrances and exits of the Immortal Spirit Market and were carefully checking each person, Shang Lu used his brush and painting skills to seal the footage that the copper ant had accidentally recorded into a series of witch talismans.

And at that moment, after he left the Fairy Spirit Market, he detonated the witch talisman!
When the Li family members saw these images, they felt like their heads were about to explode.

These are things that can be done, but cannot be said, and certainly cannot be known by others.

"Damn it!"

"How did Li Qi and his group do things? How could someone have recorded it with magic without them even knowing?"

"It must have been that scholar who did it! He's determined to be an enemy of the Li family!"

The Li family members were both shocked and furious. They hated their own family members for their incompetence and also hated that damned scholar who dared to actually be their enemy!
Did that scholar not know that the head of their Li family was one of the Nine Ministers of the Chu State?!

The Li family members are used to being arrogant and domineering. They don't seem to realize that they've already committed murder and robbery; what wouldn't others dare to do? Do they expect others to obediently offer their necks when they raise their knives?
At the same time, the people in the Fairy Spirit Market were shocked to see that the Pang brothers had not been ambushed by villains, but were actually murdered and robbed by the Li family.

They were even more shocked and enraged when they saw that the Li family members were ruthless, and that after killing and robbing, they cruelly dismembered the Pang brothers, even taking away their souls.

People come to the Li family's Fairy Market to trade because they believe the Li family will protect them and make them safer. But now they've discovered that the Li family isn't protecting them at all; in fact, they're the biggest source of danger. They're immediately furious!
Although the Li family members destroyed the talismans that released the images immediately and loudly defended themselves, saying that the images released by the talismans were fake and were a frame-up and slander against them.

However, the people who came to the Fairy Spirit Market were not stupid, and few believed the weak self-defense of the Li family members.

Of course, they did not raise any questions in front of the Li family members.

This is, after all, Li family territory; even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Thus, a strange scene soon unfolded in the Fairy Market: while everyone claimed to trust the Li family, they were all packing their valuables and fleeing...

The Li family was caught in a dilemma: they couldn't just stand by and not stand by... For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

This series of events enraged the elder of the Li family, who was in charge of guarding the Immortal Spirit Market.

But he had no time to deal with the clansmen who had caused the trouble. He sent a message to his family to report the matter while he personally went to the Immortal Spirit Market.

Besides handling the aftermath, they also wanted to find the "scholar" who was surrounded by his clansmen and prevent him from escaping in the chaos.

Shang Lu didn't know how the elder of the Li family cleaned up the mess.

But he knew that this elder of the Li family must have discovered that the person surrounded by his clansmen was a paper figure covered with the "Treatise on Righteousness".

Besides the disappearance of the paper figure's aura, Shang Lu also noticed that the number of pursuers and witch beasts sent by the Li family had suddenly increased.

The Li family was clearly enraged! They vowed not to rest until they captured that damned "Confucian scholar."

Unfortunately, the pursuers and witch beasts sent by the Li family also overlooked Shang Lu, who could change his appearance and conceal his aura.

At this moment, Shang Lu was completely unrelated to a Confucian scholar; he was just an ordinary peddler.

Shang Lu looked up at the pursuers and witch beasts flying overhead, his face showing a shocked expression.

This is how an ordinary person would react upon seeing a wizard and a magical beast.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but sneer: "Li Zisi is finished, and these people from the Li family still don't know how to restrain themselves. It seems that it won't be long before the King of Chu confiscates their property, exterminates their entire clan, and takes them all away to refine pills!"

Once the pursuers and the witch beasts had flown far away, Shang Lu lowered his head and continued on his way.

When there were no pursuers or magical beasts, Shang Lu would fly using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical technique) or his magical gourd. With San Niang's help in reconnaissance, whenever pursuers or magical beasts approached, Shang Lu could receive an early warning, either detouring or putting away his earth-遁 or magical gourd, appearing as an ordinary person...

They were not exposed along the way.

Three days later, Shang Lu left Donghai County and also left the Li family's sphere of influence.

Instead of venturing into the mountains and forests, he went straight to a bustling county town.

The plan is to perform a ritual here to communicate with the gods and create Nuo masks of Dongjun and Shangui...
