I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 141 The Mastermind of the Plague - Lu Wujiu
Hua Chaoge said in a cold voice, "He is the mastermind behind the plague in the Nine Paths Land—Old Lawyer Lu Wujiu!"

The headmaster of Dan Ding raised his eyebrows. "Impossible? I've heard that Lu Wujiu is an upright and compassionate person. How could he spread the plague?"

Hua Chaoge sneered, "What if spreading the plague is a ritual for ascending the stairs?!"

The headmaster of Dan Ding immediately showed a look of sudden realization and asked, "What kind of sect is so vicious that it uses spreading plague as a ritual?"

Hua Chaoge said, "Fellow Daoist, come with me to Lao Lu Mountain and take a look, and you'll know for sure."

"Good idea!" The Dan Ding Sect Master praised, but then changed the subject: "However, now is not the right time. To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am refining a furnace of elixirs. Right now is a critical moment, and I am afraid I can't leave."

Hua Chaoge shook his head: "Well, if that's the case, then I'll take my leave!"

Having said that, without waiting for the Dan Ding Sect Master to return the greeting, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace, escaping towards Lao Lu Mountain!
I was filled with resentment to the extreme.

He thought Lu Wujiu would refuse, but he didn't expect him to escape, especially with the Danding Sect as a witness.

This is a naked humiliation!

Even though the Fangzhong School is not good at fighting.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Fangzhong School.

In this world, it is the law of the jungle. The Fangzhong Sect is rich enough to rival a country and can be regarded as a piece of fat meat. If it had not made arrangements on a regular basis, how could it have the prestige of having branches all over the world?
If we show signs of decline, there is no guarantee that these famous and upright sects will wait for an opportunity to attack us!
Even if we can't catch Lu Wujiu now, we must catch Wang Ying and the disciples of Liangyi Sect.

Thinking in his heart, Hua Chaoge urged the magic power of the magic weapon to become more and more powerful.

We are about to step into the territory of Nanyang Dao.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air. He stretched out his hand and his figure suddenly stopped in the air. He looked at the communication talisman in his hand in surprise.

"Master! Save me—"

This fearful and apprehensive voice belonged to the Goddess of Fertility.

Damn!

Hua Chaoge's pupils flickered as he looked at the nearby Nanyang Road, then looked back at the lotus pond pleasure boat. After weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly turned and left.

Since Lu Wujiu knew about the Goddess of Childbirth, and guessed that she would ascend the stairs together with him during the ritual of ascending the stairs, it was tantamount to confirming the act of the Bedroom Sect to spread the plague.

If we don't send the Empress Zi away now, once this matter gets out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve!
The most important thing is that Lu Wujiu launched the attack so quickly, it was obvious that he had been prepared in advance. I am afraid that if he goes to Lao Lu Mountain this time, he will be in vain.

After rushing for a long time, Hua Chaoge finally arrived at the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth.

At this time, the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth, which should have been bustling with activity, was deserted. In the distance, people could be heard leaving the palace to clear the area, whispering and talking to each other.

Hua Chaoge took a deep breath, swept his mind over, locked the aura, and then stepped into the back hall of the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth.

"Da da da……"

The slight sound of cloud shoes stepping on white marble was particularly clear in the quiet hall. Twelve black prayer flags hung naturally at the brackets, like guards looking down at the visitors.

At the end of the hall, four monks sat cross-legged in the Four-phase Mountain Formation, imprisoning the Goddess of Childbirth, who looked like a ghost.

Looking closely, they were the leaders of the four sects: Shenxiao, Shangqing, Louguan, and Wudang.

There were more than ten monks surrounding him.

Either they are the nine great elders of the Xuanmen, or they are the masters of famous palaces and temples.

"Fellow Daoists, why is this happening?"

Hua Chaoge approached, looking extremely surprised. "You are so good, Hua Chaoge! It's one thing to secretly raise a monster, but you actually let it wreak havoc and harm the people. Do you know your crime?"

Wudang headmaster Zhao Wuji questioned sternly.

"You are talking about the nine plagues, buddy?"

"Why, you intend to plead ignorance to get away with it?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. I was just about to pay a visit to all the famous and upright sects to clear the injustice of my Fangzhong sect and restore order to the world."

Without waiting for the four to speak, Hua Chaoge said sternly:
"So that fellow Taoists know, the person who spread the plague is none other than Lu Wujiu, the guest official of Laolu Temple!"

"what?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at Zhao Wuji.

It turned out that before this, Zhao Wuji suddenly summoned the leaders of the Shenxiao, Louguan and Shangqing sects, claiming that he had discovered the mastermind behind the nine plagues.

Out of trust in Zhao Wuji, the three of them rushed over without thinking, and at the same time sent messages to their friends as witnesses!
When the three of them arrived at the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth, they found that the Goddess of Childbirth was indeed a demon. This discovery shocked them.

Now, the plague is raging in the land of Jiudao, and the whole world is in panic. If the murderer can be caught, I dare not say that he will be remembered in history, but it will also greatly enhance the reputation of all sects and schools!
The reason why the Goddess of Childbirth was spared was that we planned to capture the leader first.

Who would have thought that Hua Chaoge would reveal such shocking news.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji said coldly, "A deer will die without choosing its fate. It would be best if you confess your crime as soon as possible, so that you can preserve the lineage of your Fangzhong Sect! Otherwise, if you keep making random accusations like this, you will bring trouble upon the Fangzhong Sect and become a sinner for eternity. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Hua Chaoge said coldly, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, how can we be sure that the Goddess of Childbirth is the mastermind behind the plague?"

"This person is from a ghost family and has reached the top three. Who else could it be but her?"

"Is that so? I heard that there is also a demon in Lao Lu Mountain. Lao Lu's guest Lu Wujiu even cultivates the power of demons with the Taiyin Refining Form Dao. If you don't believe me, go and see if Lu Wujiu has reached the third level of the Taiyin Refining Form Dao?"

When these words were spoken, all the monks looked at each other in surprise.

"Da da da……"

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard, and a group of cultivators headed by the headmaster of the Danding Sect walked in.

"Daoyou Zhao, using the path of cultivation as the basis for your judgment is too arbitrary!"

"Heaven has mercy on all living things. It's said that ghosts are born in troubled times, using cholera as a ritual to ascend to power. However, what I saw was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Childbirth, secretly miscarrying the pregnancy to benefit the people. How could such actions spread the plague and bring disaster to the world?"

The Dan Ding Sect Master said this and then said:

"As for the old guest official Lu Wujiu, although I have never met him, I have long heard of him. He is truly upright. His taking in the Dongxu boy is a testament to his character. If you accuse him of spreading the plague, you should at least provide evidence, otherwise how can you convince the public?! This is a serious matter. In my opinion, it is best to be cautious and not wrongly accuse a good person."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and after a while, there was a faint sound of discussion.

Some people agreed, some people disagreed.

Some people, however, could not see the situation clearly and said loudly:
"Why bother with so much trouble? In my opinion, we should call these two people over for a confrontation, and the truth will naturally come out."

"The Way of Demons and Evils controls plagues and poisons. There is absolutely no other way to ascend except to spread the plague. In my opinion, these two are probably in cahoots. Only in this way can we explain why the plague appeared in all nine lands at the same time!"

"That makes sense. Why would it need to be spread throughout the Nine Daos to reach the top three? This is clearly a joint effort by two people!"

For a moment, the heroes were outraged, and even Zhao Wuji, who trusted Lu Wujiu very much, looked hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Master Shenxiao said loudly:

"My fellow Taoists, arguing with you here is not a solution. Why don't we go to Lao Lu Temple and find out for ourselves what's true and what's false?"
