Chapter 589: Expedition (2)
Changsheng Sect, outside the mountain gate, the ancient city of Mituo.
The Mituo River runs straight through the middle of the ancient city. White sails dot the river, which is hundreds of miles wide, and fishermen's songs float in the air. At the docks on both sides of the river, cargo ships come in and out, porters are busy, baskets of fresh fish are piled up, and fishmongers are shouting out prices.
Several extremely luxurious ships slowly approached the shore. A group of young men and women from secular official families chattered and jumped down the gangway like happy little sparrows . A line of carriages hurriedly came to greet them.
In the messy crowd, several men with rough faces and fierce eyes stared at several tender and pretty young ladies fiercely, rubbing their hands for a while, but because of the guards with swords and knives beside the carriage, they gave up the idea of doing anything and disappeared into the crowd in disappointment.
A vendor carrying bundles of straw decorated with candied haws walked by, shouting.
The oil pan was burning hot, various fried foods gave off a rich aroma, and the stall owner was also shouting enthusiastically.
In the shop, the freshest river shrimps and river fish are chopped into stuffing. The flavor of the river wontons in soup is so tempting that it makes people drool.
The worldly air of worldly affairs just came out like that.
Lu Yu and his son Lu Yi, dressed as ordinary people, were sitting at the street-facing window in the lobby of a three-story restaurant, drinking wine, breaking fresh water chestnuts, and quietly watching the bustling and noisy city scene outside the window.
Lu Yi told Lu Yu in detail the secrets he had dug out from Bai Xuanyue.
Especially with the dramatic changes within Jianmen, the power of the Bai family was almost wiped out. Bai Xuanjing ran to the Dayin Immortal Dynasty to cry and pray for Bai Yuan to conquer the four families headed by the Li family. Lu Yi also recounted the whole story in great detail.
"Tsk, you deserve it!"
Lu Yu picked up the small wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, put the glass down, and sneered, "It can be seen that the Bai family's Taishang is not a good-tempered person. He squeezed too much, and finally got the disaster today."
Lu Yu nodded. Indeed, the Bai family had handled this matter very badly.
Who are the ancestors of the four families headed by the Li family? They were the sword-serving disciples of the Bai family, the most intimate and trusted disciples. Therefore, after the reconstruction of Jianmen, the four families multiplied and grew stronger in Jianmen.
But in the past 30,000 years, except for the four ancestors, the treatment of the descendants of the four families in Jianmen has been getting worse day by day since the Bai family went to the upper world. Especially after the four ancestors died in the upper world, the members of the four families have become the "servants" of the Bai family!
They endured hardships and were driven around. They did all the dirty work. If the Bai clan members got into trouble, they would clean up the mess and take the blame. They accepted punishment and worked hard without complaint...
That's all.
Over the past 30,000 years, thousands of Bai clan members have secretly ascended to the upper realm through backdoors. There are thousands of vacancies, but not a single member of the four clans has been able to make it!
Well, this is the privilege of your Bai family, it’s a backdoor… If you don’t give the four families’ members quota, then… let the four families’ members practice seriously and rely on their own abilities to ascend to the highest level, right?
Bai Zhu actually had a firm grasp on the "Taishang Sword Canon". The last chapter about the secret technique of breaking through the realm of heaven and man was firmly in his hands, and he did not reveal a single word of it to the members of the four families.
For example, the current great elder of the Li clan, Li Xu, is the eldest son of the Li clan's sword-serving disciple back then. In terms of seniority, he is Bai Zhu's uncle!
But in Jianmen, Li Xu has to obey Bai Zhu, and even Bai Xuanyue can assign him at will!
Take Bai Xuanjing’s marriage for example… Li Dan is a direct descendant of the Li family, and is equally talented and aptitude is no less than Li Xu, but he was forced to become Bai Xuanjing’s son-in-law!
The direct descendant of the Li family, a peerless genius, can only become the son-in-law of the Bai family!
This is too humiliating!
In terms of qualifications, Li Xu is extremely talented and is the best among the countless sword practitioners in Jianmen!
Moreover, after the Li ancestor ascended to the upper realm with the Bai family's Supreme, he gave away many good things before his death. Li Xu relied on those spiritual treasures to practice rapidly, and his cultivation was extremely strong and his foundation was extremely solid. Thousands of years ago, he was qualified to take a glimpse of the wonderful realm of heaven and man.
However, the ancestor of the Li family bestowed upon him the spiritual treasures from the upper realm, but he did not bestow upon him the secret technique to break through the realm of heaven and man.
Who could have thought that the four Sword Masters would perish one after another in the upper realm?
Li Xu has been stuck in the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm for thousands of years... During these thousands of years, he tried every means to obtain the last chapter of the "Supreme Sword Canon", but Bai Zhu used various excuses to block him.
Li Xu is like this, and so are the great elders of the other three families!
The disunity within Jianmen was gradually fermenting and brewing from small things... As long as Bai Zhu was there, the four families could be suppressed and they dared not to move; Bai Zhu was now suppressed in the Little Vajra Xumi Mountain, and core members such as Bai Xuanyue were also captured by Lu Yi. The four families finally couldn't hold back, and Li Xu personally took to the battlefield!
"Tsk, even if it's a dog, you should feed it a few more pieces of meat and bones!" Lu Yi patted Da Huang who was squatting beside the wine table, grabbed a piece of braised beef, and shook it in front of him.
Dahuang opened his mouth and unceremoniously took a large piece of braised beef in his mouth. He squinted his eyes and made a "wuwu" sound, looking extremely happy.
"So, what are your plans?" Lu Yu asked Lu Yi.
"Of course, we'll kill him while he's sick...beat the local tyrants and divide the land!" Lu Yi filled Lu Yu's glass with wine, raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Yu's, and then they both drank it all in one gulp.
The carriages carrying the young men and ladies who had just disembarked were slowly driving past the street in front of the small restaurant.
A very beautiful young lady lifted the curtain and saw Lu Yu and his son Lu Yi sitting by the window.
After practicing the Blood Magic, the handsome Lu Yu became even more handsome with red lips and white teeth, and his face was as handsome as a jade. His skin and flesh seemed to be carved from mutton-fat jade, and every pore exuded a rich breath of life, full of the instinctive attraction of living things.
Especially his body, which was nearly a meter tall, tall and straight, and was full of the masculine energy unique to male creatures.
As for Lu Yu...
His body was so tough that his cheeks and skin were covered with steel-like muscles pulsating faintly. Especially since his normal height was only over 16 feet, even when he was sitting on a chair, he was much taller than an ordinary person... His aura was fierce and overbearing, like an ancient dragon beast, which was really intimidating.
The young lady's eyes quickly swept over Lu Yu, as if they had touched a red-hot iron, and then stuck to Lu Yu's face, whose skin was so white that it was almost enchanting.
Her face flushed slightly, and she took out a small sachet and threw it out quickly, hitting Lu Yu's face with a "poof".
Lu Yu was stunned.
Lu Yi was also stunned.
The father and son looked at each other and then at the bold young lady at the same time.
"Tsk!" Lu Yi sighed, "What kind of look is that? Haha, you ignore me, the 'Emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty' and the 'World's Greatest Writer', and you actually like a middle-aged man?"
"Ha! This girl has quite a discerning eye. She caught my eye at first sight among thousands of people in the crowd!" Lu Yu shook his sleeves and smiled charmingly at the young lady. She was so panicked that she hurriedly lowered the curtains, but she kept looking at him through the gap in the curtains.
"I can't help it. I was born with a handsome appearance, and I'm as handsome as a jade tree. A gentleman is like jade, and there is no one like him in the world." Lu Yu boasted for a while: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Yi stared at Lu Yu strangely: "How to do it? What are you talking about?"
Lu Yu stared at Lu Yu with eyes wide open. After a long while, he pointed at Lu Yu and cursed in a low voice: "Of course it's not that girl with good eyesight, but... what are you going to do about Jianmen?"
Lu Yi slowly peeled a water chestnut and thought seriously.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Why are we here? They want to completely exterminate our descendants of Jishengtian cultivators. We are forced to come here to seek a glimmer of hope."
"But I didn't expect that the seemingly huge Yuanlingtian would be so shabby inside."
"The time is on my side." Lu Yi pointed to the sky.
"The geographical advantages are equal." Lu Yi pointed to the ground.
"Renhe...is with me!" Lu Yi pointed at Lu Yu, then pointed at himself.
Lu Yu looked up at the sky thoughtfully, then nodded gently: "Then, the risk cannot be borne by us alone."
As he was speaking, he saw Song Wufa, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, walking quickly towards him among the crowd on the street.
Song Wufa's voice could be heard from a distance: "Grand Elder, Sect Leader, Senluo Sect Elder Gu Pingzhi wants to see you."
Lu Yu and Lu Yi smiled at each other.
The Senluo Sect was indeed strong, and the internal strife in Jianmen could not be hidden from them.
The Senluo Sect was indeed full of malice towards the Jianmen Sect. The Jianmen Sect had just been in internal turmoil, and they couldn't wait to come to their door.
Lu Yi stood up and chuckled, "In front of Jianmen, we and Senluo Sect are still close allies... If Jianmen collapses, we will have to wait and see..."
Lu Yu also stood up: "Stabbing each other in the back... I am good at this, your father."
A few days later, the Yuanlingtian cultivation world was shaken again.
This time, all the sects, big and small forces, shut up and no one said a word. The various forces that had been fighting each other to the point of bloodshed all stopped fighting, held their breath, and watched quietly.
The news of the civil strife in Jianmen and the eradication of the Bai family's power spread throughout the world at the fastest speed through the mouths of the Senluo Sect.
The Great Elder of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Yu, issued a manifesto to the entire Yuanlingtian cultivation community. He righteously denounced the shameless acts of "rebellion and rebellion" by the four families headed by Li Xu, fiercely criticized the cruel methods of the four families to exterminate entire families, and at the same time recalled with great sorrow the "supreme kindness" of the Bai family's great master to the Yuanlingtian cultivation community...
Finally, Lu Yu announced that the four Jianmen families headed by Li Xu were extremely rebellious, evil and cruel, and were actually evil heretics. In the name of the Grand Elder of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Yu jointly called on the cultivators of the world with the Senluo Sect to jointly challenge Jianmen, seek justice for the Bai family, "set things right" for Jianmen, eradicate the evil, and rectify the "heavenly principles" of the Yuanlingtian cultivation world!
Three months later, the Changsheng Sect and the Senluo Sect assembled a large army, gathered hundreds of large and small sects, and advanced from all directions to invade the Jianmen territory.
