Chapter 481: Killing the Heavenly Monarch (1)
Nightfall.
Light rain.
The bluestone path in Jiancheng was wet from the rain. The lights from the roadside taverns shone on the path, reflecting a dim glow.
In the distance , there were sword lights shining in the sky, sword intent soaring into the clouds, and the sound of "ding-dong" from swords colliding with each other could be heard from afar.
On the small path, three or five young men with high spirits, obviously newcomers, with a hint of arrogance in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows, and their gazes were as sharp as swords. They looked at everyone with three disobedience and four resentment, and were walking slowly, swaying their bodies.
Some of them were holding wine jugs, pretending to be hermits playing around in the world, and from time to time they would raise the jugs to take a few gulps.
Lu Yu glanced at these sword cultivators whose cultivation levels were roughly around the Furnace Realm.
These young men who have never experienced the martial world and haven't suffered the cruelty of the world obviously followed their elders to Jiancheng to participate in the Sword Fate Event in order to obtain a fine sword.
Look at that provocative look, that arrogant temperament, the shaking of shoulders while walking, the overbearing behavior that seemed as if he wanted to knock down all the passers-by on the street... Lu Yi smiled slightly, retracted his gaze, and raised the large bowl.
Yinyuan also raised his wine bowl and clinked it lightly with Lu Yi's. The two of them drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.
In the small private room, there was a square octagonal table covered with various dishes to go with wine. In the corner of the room, there were more than a dozen large wine jars piled up.
During the day, the 'Xuanyuan Yiqi Taiyue Tower' that was confiscated by Hu Tianjun and then shattered by Lu Yi, leaving behind the imprint of Hu Tianjun's soul, was suspended above the two people's heads, with strands of dark yellow light rolling down and enveloping the entire room.
This is a spiritual treasure from the eighth level of the Other Shore Realm. It is good at sealing and suppressing. With it, the inside and outside are isolated. Even the legendary celestial being can't avoid alerting Lu Yi and eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Is that how it ended?" Lu Yi drank the liquor in the bowl in one gulp, picked up a piece of pork head, and asked Yin Yuan how the events of the day ended.
"What else can we do? Bai Xuanyue, the current head of Jianmen, has shown up in person. It's impossible for Jianmen and Yinglou to really fight each other right?" Yin Yuan shrugged his shoulders. "Jianmen injured some disciples, and Yinglou lost an elder from another family. But there is a Supreme Immortal Edict as compensation. Hu Tianjun is so happy that he can't wait to see it."
"You saw it during the day. As soon as Old Bai showed up, Hu Tianjun just stopped fighting!"
Yin Yuan sighed, "Now, Lao Bai is hosting a banquet to entertain those ruthless guys. I am not qualified to be seated because of my status, so I'll hurry over to have a farewell drink with you."
Lu Yi sighed: "What a pity."
Yin Yuan filled his and Lu Yi's wine bowls with wine, and sighed heavily: "Ah... After we say goodbye tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet again. I always heard people say that being with the king is like being with a tiger, but I didn't understand what this meant. Now I am with Xiaobai, tsk..."
Lu Yi blinked and looked at him without saying a word.
Keep on editing...Looking at the look on your face, you seem to be enjoying it!
Yin Yuan blinked and looked at Lu Yu, sighing with a painful expression: "Xiao Bai... has a bad temper, mood swings, and often has hysterical attacks on the people below. But I am a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see those bloody messes..."
Lu Yu raised his right hand and coughed lightly: "Shut up and talk about business. I know you want to brag that you and that girl surnamed Bai are in love and inseparable... Ahem, I really didn't expect that, ahem!"
Yin Yuan put away the pain on his face, revealed an extremely obscene smile, and desperately winked at Lu Yi: "You really don't consider helping me by my side? You can fight Hu Tianjun on equal terms, this method, tsk tsk... If you are willing, I will let Xiaobai give you the status of a powerful elder?"
Lu Yi shook his head, glanced out the window, and subconsciously lowered his voice.
"I have my own things to do. It's a matter of urgency and I can't be careless. As for that woman Bai Yuan... I'm not sure. Anyway, you must be very careful around her. Um... she's not in Jiancheng, where is she going?"
Yinyuan frowned, sighed, raised his wine bowl, clinked it with Lu Yi's again, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"She wasn't wandering around in Jiancheng. She told me that she traveled to accumulate 'external skills' to make up for her fate... Those words are too profound. I don't practice enough to understand them. The cultivation level of my golden lotus now was built up by her using the magic medicine of Jianmen."
"Anyway, she just went out to accumulate 'external skills'. In Jiancheng, she was investigating the robbery of Wanhua Sect... She led people to ambush several inexplicable masters before, and it is said that it is related to this incident. After the battle that day, she has been squatting in Jiancheng with people."
"But these days, it seems that they have suffered a loss and will not come again."
After coughing a few times, Yin Yuan looked around suspiciously, "Her father, Bai Xuanyue, doesn't dare to let her stay in Jiancheng any longer. Old Bai has already scolded her during the day... Little Bai complained to me that Bai Xuanyue blamed her for recklessly using the resources in Jiancheng and even the Earth Lung Furnace..."
Lu Yi filled a bowl of wine for himself and Yin Yuan, and laughed.
Bai Xuanyue's words clearly meant that Lu Yu and the three girls Qingyou had taken advantage of Jiancheng, and that Bai Yuan had ordered Wutongsou to mobilize public funds to rebuild Huiyanlin. Well, Bai Yuan's actions were indeed a bit of a prodigal, so it was understandable that Bai Xuanyue was a bit petty.
"So, where are you going?" Lu Yi asked casually.
Yinyuan's expression became extremely strange.
He coughed lightly and looked around again. "Jianmen, Miro Sect, Senluo Sect, Shengyang Palace, these are the top ten major sects in Yuanlingtian. There is a buffer zone deliberately left at the junction of the four sects, which is about the size of 128 immortal dynasties in the secular world."
"There's something evil over there."
"In the daytime, the sky was full of red lanterns. At night, the streets were filled with groups of young ladies in red skirts wandering around. Red sedan chairs and red embroidered shoes would occasionally pass through walls and into houses. It was terrifying."
"What's even more frightening is that in that area, girls from brothels, concubines and maids in big houses, child brides in commoner's homes, and widows on the streets and alleys, one after another, hanged themselves or jumped into wells... Tsk!"
Yin Yuan shuddered .
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Yuan in shock. How could the matter be so serious? It even reached Jianmen? Now that he thought about it, Lu Yi and Bai Nu and the others had the fate of being in the same boat.
"Bai Xuanyue asked Xiaobai to lead a group of people to deal with these evil spirits." Yinyuan said faintly: "Tsk, I'm going to deal with old familiar ghosts, and a group of female ghosts... Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Above Jiancheng, on a floating mountain, at the top of the highest mountain, there is a tall building shaped like a sharp sword, piercing the sky.
On the top floor of the tall building, all the windows and doors were opened, and the wind whistled past, making the clothes of the people inside the building flutter, but the lights all around remained motionless, illuminating the huge room brightly.
Inside the building, the senior executives of Jianmen and Yinglou performed the ancient ritual, with separate seats. A long table was placed in front of each person, and they knelt on the ground according to their status.
At the very top, Jianmen's headmaster Bai Xuanyue and Shadow Studio owner Hu Tianjun were standing on the left and right, toasting each other with smiles, chatting and laughing, reminiscing about their past friendship, savoring the friendship of the past, and enthusiastically praising the feelings that had been brewing between the two sides over the years.
When the two men made their move, the Jianmen elders Wutongsou, Baihe, Moyun and others, and the Yinglou elders Baixie, Heiyou and others, were also smiling and listening attentively to the two leaders' insincere and meaningless nonsense.
The three brothers Hu Buwei, Hu Tianya and Hu Haijiao were already dressed neatly and were sitting obediently below Hu Tianjun, their faces also full of smiles.
Everyone was sitting upright with their heads held high, except Bai Yuan and Hu Ping, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground lazily. They were less than three meters away from each other, with distorted faces and fierce eyes, staring at each other.
Hu Ping has changed more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks. Every pair of chopsticks was crushed into pieces by him within a short time of being in his hands.
As for Bai Yuan, she didn't know where she got a small dagger from, nor how she did it, but she asked the maid to prepare a dish of braised large intestine for her. With a sinister look and ferocious eyes, she chopped the braised large intestine into pieces bit by bit.
There was no other dish on the table in front of her except a row of braised large intestines, which she cut bit by bit.
Others in the room pretended not to see anything.
Neither of these two masters is a good person. If Bai Xuanyue hadn't arrived quickly during the day, they would have caused a big incident. If Jianmen and Yinglou really fought over this matter, well, the whole Yuanlingtian would be in chaos!
Now that they are like this... never mind, as long as they don’t jump up and start fighting, just leave them alone, they are hopeless anyway.
After Hu Tianjun and Bai Xuanyue had talked a lot of nonsense, Bai Xuanyue was a sword cultivator after all, so he spoke more directly. He raised his wine cup and smiled, "Tianjun, we have known each other since childhood. If you miss the tea and food of Jianmen in the future and want to visit us, just write a letter to me as your brother, and I will welcome you with open arms!"
Bai Xuanyue's words are very interesting.
He clearly told Hu Tianjun not to sneak over without notifying him in the future as this would cause misunderstanding.
Hu Tianjun sighed softly, "I am worried and confused. I didn't expect that your three nephews would be beaten and killed in your territory... Moreover, they were besieged by the Great Nine Palace Sword Formation on the night they were attacked. Buwei, how big do you think the scale of that sword formation is?"
Hu Buwei straightened up respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Bai, please be wise. My nephew was attacked last night. The scale of the sword formation was terrifying. I'm afraid there were no less than 100,000 sword cultivators lined up. This morning, the elders of Jianmen also went to Huiyan Forest for an on-site survey. With the eyesight of the elders of Jianmen, I'm afraid they can judge more clearly than my nephew."
What Hu Tianjun and Hu Buwei said was also very interesting.
Hu Tianjun said that his son was attacked in Jianmen’s territory and he was very anxious, so he rushed over in a hurry.
As for why he didn’t notify Jianmen, but instead came here secretly?
Hu Buwei gave the best explanation to his father - a sword formation set up by no less than 100,000 sword cultivators attacked the entire Huiyan Forest. With such a scale and such means, and on the territory of Jianmen, one could not help but think too much!
Was it you from Jianmen who did it?
Bai Xuanyue narrowed his eyes, slowly turned his head and glared at Wutong Sou.
Wutong Old Man lowered his head and managed to squeeze out a sentence with great difficulty: "Master, based on my on-site investigation, the number of people in the battle array is probably more than 100,000... The sword marks left on the ruins of Huiyan Forest are probably, yes, yes..."
Exhaling heavily, Wutong Sou said in a deep voice: "The number of people in formation is probably as high as one million."
Bai Xuanyue's face twitched violently.
Hu Tianjun's pupils shrank inexplicably, he was inexplicably surprised, but also had a bit of gloating, a bit of comfort of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, and even a bit of a smile, as he looked at Bai Xuanyue leisurely.
In the territory of Jianmen, millions of sword cultivators formed an array to attack the small town affiliated with Jiancheng.
This was a big slap in Jianmen's face, and Hu Tianjun was certainly happy to see it!
