Shangyuque

Chapter 157: The Immortal Lord Mangxiang enters the Snake Valley, and the chaos begins when the stars fall from the sky (1.1W)

Yingxi even forgot how she returned to Yuque Mansion.

When a person or a cultivator lives in the world, there are two bases for judging the meaning of his existence in the conventional dimension.

First, starting from itself, the world appears when it opens its eyes and disappears when it closes its eyes. Therefore, it is the master of the world, and its existence itself is defined by itself.

But those who can reach this level are either geniuses with extraordinary talent or mentally ill people. They are a minority.

The second is the majority, a cultivator is the sum of his cultivation and his social relations.

As an immortal cultivator, Zhou Yingxi's cultivation was built under the care of Zhou Fujiao, and Zhou Yingxi's relatives survived in the immortal cultivation world under the protection of Zhou Fujiao.

When the Zhou family's ancestor chose to regard the family's younger generations as materials for his alchemy and as resources for his own enlightenment, Zhou Yingxi's existence as an individual cultivator was actually on the brink of collapse.

The so-called disillusionment with world view and value system refers to this situation.

Yingxi entered the Yuque Mansion in a daze and miserable state. When she saw Wang Yulou, he was listening to Zheng Yan's report.

“.There are definitely more than 3,000 people. Those 3,000 people played a leading role, allowing those independent cultivators in Wunan who were not aware of the special features of the West Sea to see the opportunities that exist in the West Sea.

Therefore, they followed here, but it was not easy to live in West Sea. After these people came, the prices of everything in West Sea increased. It was more than 30% more expensive to have a place to stay than before.

The past here is the past after more than ten years of slow price increases.

The law enforcement team in the nearby city has also stepped up its law enforcement efforts. Those independent cultivators who have nowhere to stay will be directly locked up and sent to various outposts.

Yulou, if we continue like this, I'm worried that trouble will arise sooner or later."

Seeing Zhou Yingxi coming, Zheng Yan hurriedly finished the work and gave his own judgment.

Wang Yulou nodded to Yingxi and gave instructions.

"It won't cause any big trouble. The value of our Wang's Xihai Branch shouldn't be raised so much. It should be 10% lower than the market price. Let's go and do some work."

Zheng Yan bowed and retreated, and Yulou hurried to his lady's side. Of course, he noticed that something was wrong with Yingxi.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were obviously red from crying. Not only did I feel pity for them, but even a cultivator with an iron heart who observes the precepts would feel uneasy upon seeing them.

"what happened?"

Although he already had some guesses in his mind, many things cannot be said carelessly in this world, so Yulou could only hug Yingxi and give her some support and comfort.

"I"

Lying on Wang Yulou's broad shoulders, Zhou Yingxi finally regained some of her lost sense of presence.

She had lost so many family members, and had become the enemy of the ancestor who had protected her in her practice. Her existence as a cultivator had largely disappeared, just like a lone boat that had lost its direction in the raging waves and was ravaged by the storm.

Yulou's timely comfort and embrace were like a warm and peaceful harbor, allowing Zhou Yingxi, who was unable to support herself, to find support.

"Husband." Zhou Yingxi spoke hoarsely again.

Her heart was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. In the end, she just leaned weakly on Wang Yulou's shoulder.

The tears that had almost dried up began to flow again.

The world has never been just, ethics are not moral principles, human hearts are just like upstream water, and destiny cannot defy the waves.

Zhou Yingxi couldn't afford the unbearable oppression from the great monk.

"Yingxi, there are many things we cannot change, so we must learn to accept them first.

In a sense, there is no difference between the rise and fall of a family and the development of an individual.

Master's actions are inappropriate, but you have to understand that he also means well."

While Wang Yulou was chatting nonsense, he pulled Yingxi into the room and put the haggard girl on the bed.

"Have a good sleep. When you wake up, it's a new day."

Zhou Yingxi understood Wang Yulou's helplessness, but she still couldn't sleep peacefully.

Those peach blossom eyes, as clear as rain, stared straight at the pattern on the bedside curtain. It was Zhou's pattern.

The pattern of the Taoist Priest Fu Jiao slaying a dragon and attaining enlightenment.

Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, why did you come to this?

Wang Yulou had some guesses about what was hidden in the terrible scar on Yingxi's stomach.

For a long time afterwards, compared to the worried Wang Xianmao and the increasingly depressed Zhou Yingxi, Wang Yulou was surprisingly calm.

The precious elixir that Old Zhou refined was able to bring about a heavenly calamity. Its medicinal power was so strong that it was impossible for someone like Zhou Yingxi, who was just practicing Qigong, to easily withstand it.

The long process of refining the elixir was probably the reason why Zhou Fujiao was so anxious to refine the elixir in the first place.

Zhou Fujiao was waiting, but Shen Guang was also waiting.

In Wang Yulou's view, he and Yingxi were like the cicada in the story of a mantis stalking a cicada, Zhou Fujiao was the mantis, and the real oriole was the divine light in the sky above the West Sea.

Mangxiang and Shenguang should have joined forces, but their interests may not be completely consistent. Zhou Fujiao may have been sold out by Mangxiang, or he may not have been.

Otherwise, Shen Guang would not have used Xihai Zhongcheng's mouth to remind Wang Yulou not to act rashly.

This proves that Wang Yulou was right to use Feng Jianxian to test Mu Chunze.

Therefore, Wang Yulou chose to believe in the Immortal Master Shen Guang.

He achieved the golden elixir by sacrificing countless immortal cultivators. It is impossible for a great cultivator like that to plan for many years and still be unable to defeat a half-dead Zhou Fujiao.

This respect for divine light may have been cultivated in Wang's mind since childhood.

After all, Shen Guang was written into the family precepts by the Wang family, and has been used to educate the Wang family members since childhood.

From this point of view, it seems like a coincidence of fate.

Two years later.

Wang Yulou was honing his skills in a quiet room when his expression suddenly changed.

His posture remained unchanged, and he emitted a faint blue aura, which attracted the sound transmission note at the door.

After reading its contents, he smiled thoughtfully and burned it to ashes.

After leaving the quiet room for practice, Wang Yulou first went to say hello to Zhou Yingxi who lived next door.

"Yingxi, I have to go out for something, do you want to come with me?"

The beautiful woman in white did not answer, nor did she even open her eyes.

Ever since that day when she learned that all her relatives had turned into elixirs, Zhou Yingxi has been wearing white clothes for several years.

The Zhou family is a bunch of trash, and there is no causal relationship between that and Zhou Yingxi's feelings towards them.

Facing his indifferent Taoist partner, Wang Yulou nodded to himself and spoke gently.

"Then I'll go over first and bring you the donkey intestines later."

Fellow Daoist Yingxi could no longer hold it in. She opened her eyes and glared at Wang Yulou angrily.

If you want to take it, just take it. Why are you talking so loudly?
The daily task of regulating his wife's mental state has been completed. Wang Yulou left the house in a good mood. But as soon as he went out, he saw Guo Yaoyue, the owner of the sound transmission note.

"Lao Guo? What are you waiting for here?"

Wang Yulou was stunned, and then complained in an unhappy tone.

“You and I are brothers, if you have any problems, just come to me in the mansion.

Waiting at the door, others thought that my Wang Yulou's door was difficult to enter, and even you, a big shot in the Fucheng Law Enforcement Team, couldn't get in."

Being neither satisfied nor satisfied with Wang Yulou's tone, Guo Yaoyue understood that Wang Yulou was actually dissatisfied with what was mentioned in his note transmission.

But what can he do? His master is not a great monk of Purple Mansion.
"I didn't think it through. So, Yulou, how about I take you to a nice place today?"

Guo Yaoyue had no choice but to admit her mistake.

Using his power to bully others, taking advantage of his position, and taking advantage of his power, Wang Yulou now finally has some of the flavor of the villain in the story.

Are you a lackey of Shen Guang?
Sorry, I am a lackey directly reporting to the two Immortal Lords, and there is no middleman above me!

Although this contrast is a bit abstract, the damn Immortal Alliance is like this, and Wang Yulou can't do anything about it.

Riding on the black dragon horse, Wang Yulou, the leader of the investigation team of the Demon-Suppressing Treasure Tower case, began to guide Guo Yaoyue's work.

“Old Guo, I personally have no problem with you, but you also know that the Demon-Suppressing Treasure House case was a case that several real people specifically instructed us to handle.

It's been more than two years and there's still no result. We've already been ineffective, so are we going to use a fabricated 'truth' to fool a few people who care about the case?"

Shabi, you also know that the investigation has been going on for two years.

In the past two years, we have checked almost every toilet inside and outside Xihai Fairy City. Isn’t that enough effort?

You are using the excuse of investigating a case to unscrupulously solicit business for the Fighting Arena and the West Sea's No. 1 Auction House. Anyone who dares not give you preferential treatment and "sincerity" will be subject to our intensive investigation.

But it has been two years since the investigation began, Wang Yulou. You don't work on the front line like a slave every day, but we have to do it!
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yulou is right." Guo Yaoyue, who was leading the horse for Wang Yulou, said respectfully.

How would he know that Wang Yulou was doing that for himself?
If he was doing it for his own benefit, he wouldn't be so crazy.

The fighting arena is the property of the Immortal Lords, and it is the property of two Immortal Lords. Wang Yulou works so hard every day just to create more profits for the Immortal Lords.

This kind of thing has no right for someone like Guo Yaoyue to comment!

Wang Yulou was clear in his mind that as long as the three elders of the Shenguan lineage and the three Xihai real people of the Immortal Alliance did not speak up, the case of the Demon-Suppressing Treasure Tower would continue to be investigated.

The essence of the chaos in the West Sea is actually a joint conspiracy between Shen Guang and Mang Xiang, and the purpose of their conspiracy corresponds to - "chaos".

But this kind of chaos will not happen in the West Sea.

To put it simply, it was a war between the Sky Snake Sect and the Red Lantern Sect, and the two sects had been planning it for nearly twenty years.

To put it broadly, it is a civil war within the Immortal Alliance, which is what the Immortal Lords on the Immortal Platform are currently preparing for - no one takes this kind of thing as a joke.

Therefore, the only risk Wang Yulou is facing now is actually the danger brought by Zhou Fujiao.

On this point, Wang Yulou decided to believe in the divine light.

From Mu Chunze to Zhou Fujiao's special path to success, to Shen Guang's special identity, and then to Shen Guang using Xihai Zhongshi's mouth to remind Wang Yulou not to move.

All of this gave Wang Yulou confidence.

Thinking about the situation in the West Sea along the way, under the leadership of Guo Yaoyue, Wang Yulou arrived at the entrance of Wanfafang in Fucheng.

There are quite a lot of people gathered here today. They all look like casual cultivators. They are dressed more respectably than each other, but no one wears monastic robes. They are just superficial donkey dung.

"The Nanfu City must be built immediately, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay. The West Sea belongs to all cultivators!"

The West Sea belongs to all cultivators, but the shares are divided according to strength. The Immortal Alliance, Shenguan, and the Eight Purple Mansions of the West Sea take 90%, and the remaining 90% is taken by various foundation-building groups.

"Yes, we came to the West Sea to contribute to the West Sea, not to go to jail. You can't send us to the outpost just because we don't have spiritual stones to live in a decent house."

You think you are here to make a contribution, but in fact you are just the food that the divine light sends to the monsters in the West Sea.
"The land of Xihai Xiancheng has been bought up by the monks who came before us. If we don't expand the Nanfu City now, where will we, the latecomers, live?"

Why.
Wang Yulou did not express his opinion, but just shook his head slightly.

The independent cultivators gathered together in indignation, shouting their demands.

Seeing Wang Yulou shaking his head, Guo Yaoyue's eyelids twitched.

He quickly sent out a sound transmission talisman, and soon, a dozen monks from the Auxiliary City Law Enforcement Team who were patrolling nearby came over.

When the visitors saw that it was Wang Yulou, they hurriedly bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, we are sorry to disturb your interest. We will drive these lazy bastards away right away!"

Silently watching Guo Yaoyue lead people to drive away the "troublemaking" cultivators, and even arrested a few to serve as a warning to others, Wang Yulou thought a lot in his mind.

A lazy and useless bastard?
Therefore, the significance of Wang's long-term endurance of humiliation became extremely concrete at this moment.

In the ancient method of Purple Palace, the method of heaven and man's resonance can achieve Purple Palace without the help of any resources, relying solely on talent.

No one is useless. Among so many methods, everyone can find a path that suits him or her.

In other words, today's world of cultivating immortals does not value talent. Under the exhaustive method, everyone's talent will perform well under a certain method of practice.

Morality and fairness are not even at the core of the Immortal Alliance's ideology.

There is no morality and no fairness. These independent cultivators who have been fully developed and utilized by the divine light are examples of this.

On the path to enlightenment of the divine light, so many people were sent to the depths of the West Sea to feed the monsters. Is there any great cultivator from the Immortal Alliance who can stand up and truly stop this?
No.

The path to enlightenment is a fiercely competitive game. No great monk is willing to spend his core resources on others who cannot bring him any return - that would weaken his relative competitiveness among the great monks.

Therefore, Wang Yulou was convinced that the advice he gave to Mo Yunshu was correct.

If you want to change, you must first be the leader.

If you don’t want to be the only one in power, you must obey the rules.

"You brought me here?"

Standing at the gate on a moonlit night, Wang Yulou felt a little bored.

It's a moonlit night, just a dusty place, nothing interesting.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yulou, Yaoyue has prepared a light feast of wine today. Fairy Mingdu, Fairy Yunshu, and Brother Yanghe are also here. Let's go in and talk."

Now, Zhou Yingxi basically doesn't investigate cases anymore. Wang Yulou is responsible for the investigation tasks of both the Criminal Court and the Rumor Court. He also serves as the leader of the investigation team, so he holds a lot of power.

But Guo Yaoyue came with other people to launch a surprise attack without notifying Wang Yulou in advance, which actually made Wang Yulou not very happy.

He smiled and pointed at Lao Guo and said.

"Old Guo, look at you, you always like to prepare surprises for me. How did you know that today is my birthday?"

Lao Guo's face looked as if he had been licked by twenty donkeys, and it immediately became vivid.

Okay, okay, Wang Yulou, you are so shameless.

He walked into the moonlit night without looking back, and Wang Yulou's voice echoed in Guo Yaoyue's heart.

'Forget it, of course you guys can't know about my birthday.

Yaoyue, I am very satisfied that you are willing to lead the horse for me.

I don't like the fact that you're using the three of them to launch a surprise attack.'

Of course Guo Yaoyue didn't dare to underestimate Wang Yulou anymore. He stepped forward quickly and led Wang Yulou on the way.

However, Wang Yulou didn't need him to lead the way at all.

“Senior, the room on the third floor that Feng Jianxian often uses, let Miss Huaidie come over to play the piano, Yaoyue doesn’t understand the moonlit night.”

After greeting the deacon of Yuehua Sect on Mingyueye in a familiar manner, Wang Yulou went straight to the third floor, leaving Guo Yaoyue in the corridor on the second floor.

I'll reduce your arrogance again!
I want to see what kind of opera you, Guo Yaoyue, want to perform later.

The Immortal Master Shen Guang is certainly worthy of respect, but the cattle and horses under the Immortal Master are another matter. Wang Yulou does not need to be too polite.

There is no middleman above him, so he can directly exchange his interests for the favor of the Immortal Lord.
-

The first person to come in was Jin Mingdu, and Fairy Mingdu came with wine in hand.

He came up and sat next to Yulou, pouring him wine.

'Guo Yaoyue has been tormented by you for two years. He wants to build a foundation and doesn't want to drag it on any longer.

When he invited me over, he only said that there had been some progress in the case. It was also suddenly that I realized that you were coming too.

If you don't believe me, you can go home and check if you have the sound transmission note I just sent you.'

Wang Yulou put his arms around Mingdu, kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile.

"It's your reward."

Mingdu, who was suddenly attacked, punched Yulou in shame and anger. Yulou grabbed her fist and immediately stuffed a middle-grade magical jade pendant into her hand.

Rewards, but more than one reward.

There is no emotion at all.

It is necessary to try hard to be tactful.

Winning over Jin Mingdu, or even marrying her, would be a complete benefit with no harm.

To put it bluntly, the case of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was intended to test the opinions of Jinshan Zhenren, Qingrui Xianzun and other great cultivators directly under the Immortal Alliance. The perpetrators were either Zhou Fujiao or Shen Guang - this case directly pushed Zhou Fujiao to refine the elixir ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Jin Mingdu took the initiative to approach Wang Yulou in the past two years, but Wang Yulou could see through the twists and turns at a glance.

Of course, his height determined that he could not imagine what Jinshan was worried about - Mangxiang and Shenguang had come together, and a civil war in the Immortal Alliance was not necessarily the worst case scenario. The truly terrifying thing was that the three sects east of the West Sea and Shenguang would unite against the Immortal Alliance.

As for the truth of the case.
Wang Yulou actually prefers Shen Guang. This Immortal Lord has a lot of ideas about layout and does not take the rules of the Immortal Alliance seriously.

This is the case with Qingxifang, Nanfucheng, and the case with Wanfayuanliushu selling the Zifu method. When it comes to Shen Guang, he does more than just use any means necessary.

No matter what the outcome of the Demon-Suppressing Tower case is, it must be able to withstand the counterattack of the potential schemer, which is why Wang Yulou is reluctant to close the case.

When Yunshu came in, he saw Wang Yulou and Jin Mingdu hugging each other, and he felt dizzy.

She shook her head and looked at the two of them again, and found that Jin Mingdu was already tidying up the corners of his robes, and Wang Yulou also raised his glass to invite her to join him, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"It's bad. The investigation has revealed a disease. Wang Yulou, if you don't close the case, I can't stand it anymore, not to mention Daoist Yaoyue."

In the past two years, the one who has made the most progress is Qiu Lianpu. Although he was ravaged by Wang Yulou and Guo Yaoyue, his ability to withstand pressure has increased rapidly.

The second person who made the most progress was Mo Yunshu. Through her observation of Wang Yulou, she cured herself of her unrealistic fantasies.

Wang Yulou's success in the West Sea and in the Immortal Alliance system is a realistic textbook of the Immortal Alliance's philosophy of life.

Hanging out with Wang Yulou is the best way to cure your unclear mind.

However, Wang Yulou understood that Fellow Daoist Yunshu was actually expressing her dissatisfaction with his delay in closing the case - Mo Yunshu was just kind, not a fool. Was Wang Yulou investigating the case?
There was no trace of the case in Wang Yulou's eyes.

He didn't have the courage to investigate a case, but Wang Yulou not only had the courage to handle his own affairs under the guise of investigating a case, but he was also very wealthy.

"Actually, I'm fine, Yulou. I don't have any thoughts on the progress of the case. I just wonder, how about dragging Lian Chengxian out to take the blame?"

Chen Yanghe came in and expressed his opinion.

What Wang Yulou told several people before was that the truth is always on the way. Investigation is one aspect, but investigation is one thing and cannot be the only thing.

We must be prepared for "how to deal with the situation when the truth is definitely not going to come out" - this happened to Qiu Lianpu, so it is said that the effect of Qiu Lianpu's training by Wang Yulou in the past two years is the most obvious, and he has withstood it.

"It can be considered. Qiu Lianpu is still the first option. But Yao Yue, you have set up such a big plan to rush me to close the case."

Guo Yaoyue didn't understand that Wang Yulou was laying a mine for him.

Wang Yulou was also afraid because he was the head of the investigation team and had to bear the main responsibility.

What if the 'truth' negotiated by the few people is not to their liking and is used by Shen Guang in the future?

His behavior today, Guo Yaoyue, means that the truth is not right and has nothing to do with Wang Yulou and others - it's just a trap for law enforcement.

The clash of power between the great monks is one thing, and trying to get as many bargaining chips as possible is another. After all, the Immortal Alliance is still there, and many seemingly insignificant bargaining chips can be used to great tactical value by the people above in the Immortal Alliance system.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, for two years, we have fought together in Xihai Immortal City and worked hard for the stability of the Immortal City.

As the leader, you guided and encouraged me during the process, and I learned a lot.

The first glass of wine is to toast the long-term peace and stability of the Immortal Alliance.

The second glass of wine is to toast to the joint efforts of all colleagues.

The third cup of wine is for you, Daoist Fellow Yuque."

Guo Yaoyue drank three cups of the seventh-grade Liuhua wine.

Wang Yulou did not express his opinion, but just took the little stone turtle and put its head to the edge of his wine glass.

This beast was quite smart, or maybe he was just greedy, so he started drinking it with a grunt.

Chen Yanghe has made a lot of progress under the guidance of several smart minds.

He looked at the small stone turtle in Wang Yulou's hand, then looked at Guo Yaoyue who was standing awkwardly facing the door of the room, his expression slightly out of control.

Jin Mingdu looked at Wang Yulou with stars in his eyes, showing his domineering side. His brilliance was not only in the battle of magic, a true genius would never be afraid of the stage.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, I am almost a hundred years old now. If I don't build my foundation now, I will be past the age for building my foundation. If the case is not resolved, when will I be able to build my foundation?"

Wang Yulou still didn't speak, he looked at Mo Yunshu.

Jin Mingdu is one of their own, while Chen Yanghe is planning to kill Lian Chengxian.

As for the fact that Wang Yulou was able to win Jin Mingdu's heart, he admitted it. Anyway, he didn't have any feelings towards Jin Mingdu at the beginning. What Chen Yanghe cared about was that he had to make Lian Chengxian, that big fool, suffer a big loss.

Therefore, Wang Yulou needs to confirm Mo Yunshu's opinion in order to gain an absolute majority advantage, so that he can continue to maintain his leadership in the investigation team when the real people do not speak.

"Yulou, I listen to you."

Daoist Fellow Yunshu was always cheerful. He raised his cup and took a drink, thus putting an end to Guo Yaoyue's hopes.

It was he who instigated the forced confession. In fact, he had always been controlled by Wang Yulou. The forced confession itself had no bargaining chip value, but it had value in Wang Yulou's hands.

Today's group was the best opportunity he had after long observation.

However, Chen Yanghe and Mo Yunshu only had some opinions, but they were not willing to directly oppose Wang Yulou. Guo Yaoyue miscalculated.

At this moment, the situation is actually very interesting.

Guo Yaoyue, a disciple of Shen Guang, was opposed by Wang Yulou, a disciple of Mang Xiang, Mo Yunshu and Chen Yanghe, disciples of the two immortals of Xihai, and Jin Mingdu, a disciple of the immortal directly under the Immortal Alliance.

Just like the situation in the West Sea.

Shen Guang has the strongest comprehensive strength in the West Sea, but is also the most feared by all parties and restricted by the Immortal Alliance system?
Wang Yulou, is it possible for him to become the Divine Light?

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, today is my day."

Guo Yaoyue smiled bitterly and tried to find a way out for herself, who was like a drowned dog, but Wang Yulou finally spoke.

"Let Lian Chengxian take the blame. The investigation has lasted for so long. Has he contributed anything?

No!

Everyone can testify to this, right?"

Guo Yaoyue was immediately overjoyed and said loudly.

"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Yuque, for your help! Thank you, Daoist Fellow Yuque, for your help!"

Wang Yulou, you are indeed a powerful bastard, but you are also a real character. You have been tormenting me for two years.
In fact, he didn't know that Wang Yulou planned to close the case after Mo Yunshu expressed his opinion.

The human heart is like upstream water. You must not offend others too much or force your friends to become enemies.

The case has been dragging on for too long, and the great monk doesn't care, but the people who are accompanying Wang Yulou in investigating the case are not happy.

The same is true for brightness, nourishment and harmony, etc.

The reason why I messed with Guo Yaoyue was just to torment him, there was no other reason.

"Yes, Lian Chengxian never contributed anything. If the case has no conclusion, who else can we blame but him?"

Chen Yanghe would not have any psychological burden at all about letting Lian Chengxian take the blame.

Mingdu also nodded slightly. The Lotus Immortal sent Lian Chengxian to the investigation team in order to bring out the uncontrollable duality of the functional Shabi.

It is just right for Lian Chengxian to take the blame now.

"But, Yulou, how do I report this to the three masters specifically?" Mo Yunshu still had that practical way of thinking.

Wang Yulou held the small stone turtle in his hand and looked at Guo Yaoyue with a smile.

"Brother Yaoyue, come here. Apart from me, you have contributed the most in the past two years. Please write the results of the investigation so that I can present them to the three masters."

Bitch!

"It should be so. It should be so." Guo Yaoyue replied with a smile.

Wang Yulou sighed slightly in his heart - the test was successful.

Investigate the case slowly.

The so-called fear of wasting time on building the foundation was just an excuse. How could the absence of Guo Yaoyue delay the investigation? Everyone was investigating randomly anyway.

Faced with her own conditions and difficulties, Guo Yaoyue still worked hard to close the case as soon as possible.
Is the Immortal Lord going to take action?

There is a correlation, but it is very low.

After all, his cultivation was too low. Thinking of this, Wang Yulou began to look inward.

His cultivation has been honed to a point where it would only take him three months at the shortest and a year at the longest to build his foundation.

After building the foundation, the situation becomes different.

Wang Yulou looked in the direction of the red light, but what he was thinking about was when the master's golden elixir would be completed.

Grandmaster, oh grandmaster, the voting at the Platform of Immortals is fake. From the very beginning, it cannot decide whether you want to attain the Golden Elixir.

How could a great monk like you stop just because of the obstruction of others?

But you still won over the Immortal Master Shen Guang.

So, what is your purpose?
-

What is the purpose of Mangxiang?
If Wang Yulou wants to figure this out, he may have to practice for a long time and go a long way before he has a chance.

Mang Xiang practiced cultivation for ten thousand years, and participated in the establishment of the Red Lantern Society when the Immortal Alliance did not exist.

After the emergence of the Immortal Alliance, it has developed the aura of three purple palaces in one lineage, and has already had the influence of a half-step immortal master level.

However, the heaven and earth have a great repulsive force towards this person who is just one step away from reaching the golden elixir level at the peak of the purple mansion.

Mangxiang Cave Heaven.

In the cave with a radius of 1,800 miles, mountains and rivers are crisscrossed. Among the mountains and rivers, there live millions of mortals and four sects of immortal cultivation.

On the pillar in the center of the cave is Mangxiang’s dojo.

The Heavenly Pillar standing tall in the center of the cave is a holy place in the hearts of billions of creatures in the Mangxiang Realm.

Here live the Immortal Lord and his disciples.

However, at this time, the Immortal Master Mangxiang was experiencing great pain.

This great Purple Mansion monk who was at the pinnacle level was several dozen feet tall, and looked like a giant made of clouds, sitting cross-legged in the giant palace under the Pillar of Heaven.

He waved an iron fan, exerted all his strength, mobilized his magical powers and the power of the cave, and slashed at his forearm fiercely.

The iron fan that was shining with black light just came into contact with his forearm made of cloud and immediately burst out with tremendous power.

The sky is moving.

All the spirits in the Mangxiang Cave tried hard to maintain their standing posture and looked at the shaking pillar in the middle of the cave.

The immortal cultivators from the four immortal cultivation sects all prostrated themselves and knelt down to pray in the direction of the Immortal Lord.

Finally, Mang Xiang used his magic treasure to cut off half of his forearm.

His cultivation level had visibly declined - about one and a half times lower than Li Haiping's level.

Based on this calculation, the strength of the Mangxiang can be understood as six arms, twelve legs, four heads, and fourteen main bodies, which is a total of about thirty-six Li Haipings.

After his cultivation level was reduced, Mang Xiang stretched out his hand and reached out of the cave.

A red light shone on the top of Mangxiang Mountain, and a huge hand immediately appeared.

Feeling that the rejection of heaven and earth towards him had greatly decreased, Mang Xiang immediately crawled out.

This was what he threatened the Heavenly Snake with—cut off his own cultivation and then enter the great world again!

In Xihai Fairy City, Jinshan glanced at Wang Yulou, then looked at the investigation results, and frowned slightly.

The dirty water on my body has not been completely washed away.

Small things, really just small things, but disgusting.

Wang Yulou, that beast, investigated for two years, and only closed the case after he had almost finished handling all of his affairs.

It's all because of that stupid Lian Chengxian.
What use is there for that kind of trash?

Isn't this just a clear trick?

Wang Yulou knew that he was fooling around, Jinshan knew that Wang Yulou knew that he was fooling around, and Wang Yulou knew that Jinshan knew that he knew that he was fooling around.

"Have you already let Daoist Fellows Haikuo and Fujiao take a look?"

The sound of metal and stone colliding was heard, and Jinshan asked without any tone.

His spiritual sense could penetrate hundreds of miles in radius, but he could not investigate where Li Haikuo and Zhou Fujiao were.

"seen it already."

Wang Yulou bowed respectfully again.

Jinshan cursed inwardly that Mangxiang was a good-for-nothing, and the younger generation he taught were also good-for-nothings, and then, he asked about Mingdu through voice transmission.

'Brightness, please tell me more details.'

'The ancestor can only do this. After all, this is what he came here to do.'

Jinshan raised his hand and summoned the Immortal Alliance's West Sea Dragon and Tiger True Person Seal, and used the seal on the investigation results written by Guo Yaoyue.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yulou. Here, take these two Five Poisons Locking Essence Pills. They can not only help you build your foundation, but also help you survive in times of danger in the future."

Things were done in a very messed up way, but even if I didn't get any credit, I at least had worked hard.

The point is, Wang Yulou has Mang Xiang and Zhou Fujiao behind him - these are more valuable than any merit or hard work, and can even be regarded as a calculator for calculating merit and hard work. Without these, he does not even have the qualifications to calculate.

The Five Poisons Locking Essence Pill is the best among all elixirs. It is made from the poisons of poisonous herbs and insects such as Huangshan Bean, Bashixiang, Guichou, Hongniangzi, and Zibeichi. Rare seventh-grade spiritual herbs are added for therapeutic purposes. It can both lock lives and stimulate spiritual practice.

This elixir is not Wunan’s elixir, but a specialty of Qunqingyuan, the fairy city where the Immortal Alliance’s headquarters is located.

"Jade Tower."

After fooling Jinshan, Wang Yulou, under the leadership of Jin Mingdu, left the Dragon and Tiger Master's Mansion.

As soon as he went out, Wang Yulou took out a Five Poisons Locking Essence Pill and stuffed it into Jin Mingdu's hand.

“Fairy Mingdu, this pill is precious, but Yulou must give you one.

Without your assistance over the past two years, the investigation would not have progressed as it did."

Halfway through his speech, Wang Yulou realized something was wrong.

This investigation has never been smooth sailing, and in the end no results were produced. Instead, even Kingsoft chose to join in the deception.

Thinking of this, Wang Yulou was no longer hesitant - Jinshan had used the seal, and the matter was settled.

"Anyway, thank you."

Fairy Mingdu was not polite either. She took the elixir and said jokingly.

"Hahaha~ Wang Yulou, you, you mean to say that if I hadn't helped you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly?"

Wang Yulou seemed to be stumped by the question and stood there in a daze.

"Oh, why are you panicking? I was just joking." Jin Mingdu quickly added.

Only then did Wang Yulou wake up from his dream.

"With your charming smile and beautiful eyes, Fairy Mingdu, please don't smile at Yulou casually."

The cheesy love words were like a sharp sword that could break through an enemy formation. Wang Yulou wielded the sword without any scruples, chopping Jin Mingdu into pieces, leaving even the tips of his earlobes red.

"Why is it that my smile is not as pretty as Zhou Yingxi's?"

Fairy Mingdu's cheek was slightly tilted, so Wang Yulou could only see her profile, which was a sign of the beauty's shyness.

In fact, a cultivator's spiritual sense can easily see Jin Mingdu's shyness, but Wang Yulou would not do something that would spoil the mood.

"Sorry, Fairy Mingdu, thank you for reminding Yulou. Yingxi is still waiting for me. I will go back first."

After saying this, Wang Yulou left without looking back.

He didn't do that kind of thing that would spoil the mood, but Wang Yulou did that kind of thing instead.

It's nothing more than that everyone has their own purpose, you act out your deep love, and I act out my indecision - only in this way can we sing for a long time.

Jin Mingdu was somewhat puzzled by Wang Yulou's sudden change in attitude.

She wanted to say something to keep Wang Yulou, but suddenly realized that the case was closed.

'Stay close to him and don't break off your relationship.'

Master Longhu saw through Wang Yulou's true plan. The old man was always very capable and had a clear understanding of the complex situation Wang Yulou was facing.

Jin Shan's message actually sounded somewhat ironic to Jin Mingdu.

She didn't think the old man was mocking her.

She just realized that in the whole thing, she was like an existence that was used when useful and thrown aside when not.

In Jin Mingdu's eyes at this moment, the performances and behaviors of the two were as ironic as a joke.

The difference here is that Wang Yulou's heart has gradually reached the stage of being as determined as a rock.

But Jin Mingdu was too well protected and it hasn't come to this yet.

She can't let go.
-

Four months later, Tianshe Sect.

The mountain gate of the Tianshe Sect is built in the valley.

From the Heavenly Snake below, half of the great Purple Mansion cultivators in the Heavenly Snake Sect are demon generals.

Moreover, many of them are the type of pangolin (the pangolin has become a spirit, respectfully called a pangolin, similar to Li Haiping and Li Haikuo), demon generals who like to burrow into the ground.

Therefore, the Tianshe Sect is actually located underground, and part of the mountain gate and palace also exist, making it half an underground city, along with half a valley on the ground.

The two together form the mountain gate of the Tianshe Sect.

This valley is naturally named Tianxian Valley - similar to the two fairy-armored horses that Wang Yulou got when he ran the racecourse in Qingxifang.

In the Heavenly Snake Sect, the Heavenly Snake cannot be called Heavenly Snake, it must be called "Heavenly Immortal".

Disciples of the Tianshe Sect who are called by the wrong name often do not see the sunrise the next day.

At this time, a young man in a gray Taoist robe was approaching the gate of the Tianshe Sect step by step.

One step, ten miles.

After seven or eight steps, he walked straight into the door.

After walking a few more steps, he entered the underground mountain gate of the Tianshe Sect.

This person is none other than Mang Xiang.

He walked and killed along the way without even using any spells or magical powers, or using any magic weapons or spiritual treasures.

Just on both sides of the road where he walked, all the people from the Sky Snake Sect turned into nothingness.

This is the strength of a quasi-immortal—below the purple mansion, refined in an instant.

Zi Fu, the guardian of the Sky Snake Sect, realized that something was wrong, and a giant pangolin directly broke through the void, trying to stop the rebellious elephant.

It was the Mountain-Climbing Dragon that had just joined the Heavenly Snake Sect a few years ago. After joining the Heavenly Snake Sect, it naturally became the sect's guardian of Zifu, and stayed in the Great World for a long time to work as a slave for the Heavenly Snake.

However, when the mountain dragon was halfway through breaking through the void obstruction, it felt the horror of the wild elephant, and immediately used the Law of Heaven and Earth and the Blood Fury of the Demon God at the same time.

Under the effect of the two magical powers, its strength instantly increased by nearly half, because the body of the Mountain-Climbing Dragon was still in the void outside the heaven and earth, and it was confident that it could use this to leave.

However, the Immortal Master Mangxiang only took a glance at the void where the mountain-climbing dragon was, and his infinite spiritual power and boundless true energy spread over.

The infinite true energy displayed by Mang Xiang was vast and ethereal, just like a milky white river, wreaking havoc in the Tianshe Sect.

Countless palaces were destroyed, and all those who had built their foundations, no matter how high or low their cultivation level, were killed if they were touched.

The white river broke through the void and wrapped around the tail of the mountain-climbing dragon like a chain.

The Mountain-Climbing Flood Dragon didn't hesitate at all and directly blew up the back half of its body. The blood rage of the demon god was further aroused - it didn't want to die.

When Mang Xiang threatened the immortals on the platform of the immortals, no one knew his specific strength.

Everyone's guess about the strength of the Mang Xiang is that it is invincible below the Jindan level, but not to the extent that it can kill any Purple Mansion at will. After all, it is not that strong and terrifying. In other words, other Purple Mansions should still be able to deal with the Mang Xiang.

However, at this moment, the Mountain-Fan Dragon only wanted to tear the Sky Snake into pieces.

Shabi, you have caused me so much trouble!

The mountain dragon fled, and the wild elephant chased it. In his own infinite true energy, the wild elephant immortal actually teleported to the position where he had just locked the mountain dragon.

He put on a golden Dharma crown, which was Hong Dengzhao's famous magical treasure and Mang Xiang's treasure for enlightenment - the Sky Crown.

Under the inspiration of Mang Xiang, the stars in the sky gradually turned and approached the world here.

The stars gradually approached the location of the Heavenly Snake Sect from the sky, from Wunan, to the West Sea, to the Immortal Kingdom.
In the four poles, five realms and eight wildernesses, all the purple mansions that were still staying in this world changed their expressions.

Some people even guessed that it was the elephant who was casting the spell based on the magical power of the falling stars in the sky.

This world-famous, quasi-golden elixir-level Purple Mansion peak cultivator, after being blocked by five members of the Immortal Alliance from achieving the golden elixir, decided to break the impasse by force.

"Mang Xiang, how dare you do this!"

The celestial snake finally appeared, but it was just a shadow.

This "celestial being" from the Heavenly Snake Sect had completely lost his former arrogance.

"Stop it. Can't we help you become a golden elixir? Mangxiang, don't be stubborn. No one can control the outcome of a fight."

Its former disguise and its former malice towards the elephant have now all turned into fear.

Don't get me wrong, it is not afraid of elephants. Even if ten elephants come, it is not afraid.

What Tianshe fears is that once the chaos begins, no one will be able to control when it stops.

This is the most terrifying thing.

The Immortal Alliance has been stable for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, everyone has made a lot of money together with the help of the Immortal Alliance, and it is simply the happiest thing.

The shouting on the stage of the immortals is just a means of bargaining, and the so-called "civil war" is just a rhetorical show that everyone knows - of course, this does not affect the great monks' real preparations for war.

But Tianshe never expected that the bastard Mangxiang was serious!
Moreover, as luck would have it, Mangxiang really chose to attack the Tianshe Sect!
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Sky Snake. Are you afraid?"

Mangxiang stood in the void with his sleeves fluttering, the golden crown on his head emitting infinite inspiration. Between heaven and earth, stars were falling from the sky.

The celestial snake spit out its tongue hatefully and finally came in from outside the world.

After entering the vast world, the Heavenly Snake went straight towards the Wild Elephant, using seven or eight magical powers at the same time. When it moved, the surrounding world seemed to stand still - fast, too fast.

The scale of time disappeared around the celestial snake, and the distance in space was flattened by magical powers.

The body of the Sky Snake is more than ten feet thick, and its length extends endlessly into the unknown vast void. Its entire body is covered with cold black scales, on which are countless mysterious patterns.

Such an act, such magical powers, coupled with the falling stars in the sky.

And the rapidly gathering calamity clouds.

It can be said that the Heavenly Snake is, at this moment, the strongest being in the world, ranked number one.

However.
“Heavenly Snake, as expected, hahahaha!”

Under the many magical attacks of the Heavenly Serpent, the Immortal Master Mangxiang turned into endless nothingness, leaving only a mocking smile echoing between heaven and earth.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about your impending calamity. Just consider me a loser today."
