Lu Yu's temper is quite good most of the time.
As long as it is something that is consensual, he will not interfere. In the underworld, one must understand the ways of the world. This is the principle of life that he understood when he was hanging out on the streets of Dayin Haojing.
Therefore, the "old ancestor" who had just threatened the monk with the secret magic thunder, had a tug-of-war with Liu Zongguan and Tao Niangzi. He introduced himself as the adopted son of the Wutou old ancestor, the "Jiutou Demon Ancestor" who had established his own sect in a certain mountain, valley, or cave, with more than a hundred demon generals and tens of thousands of demon soldiers under his command, and ruled over nearly ten million people in the wilderness.
This Jiutou Demon Ancestor claimed that when Tianxiang Youguan passed by his territory, he was in seclusion and practicing a profound magic skill, so he had no time to patronize the business. When Tianxiang Youguan left, he broke through the seclusion and came out, and then he heard the demon sons and grandsons below talking about how moist, fair, and cute the girls in Tianxiang Youguan were.
So, he followed the smell and caught up with them.
However, the Jiutou Demon Ancestor was not very popular and had conflicts with many evil demons and monsters in the surrounding area. During the chase, they passed through many rival territories and had fierce fights with them, which delayed them for a long time.
It just so happened that Lady Tao had to hand in an account with Chief Steward Liu and receive supplies at the agreed time and place, so she had to hurry along the way.
The Jiutou Demon Ancestor was so burned by the "fire" that his whole body felt uncomfortable. In the end, he simply abandoned all the demon sons and grandsons who were accompanying him and ran at full speed. Only then did he catch up with Tao Niangzi and her group in the cave in time.
What made him happy was that there were more than a hundred new people around Lady Tao!
Therefore, the Jiutou Demon Ancestor was very excited and couldn't wait to have Tao Niang open the shop to receive him, the "loyal guest" who had come from afar.
Lady Tao was beaming with joy, and had a very enthusiastic conversation with the Dove-headed Demon Ancestor.
Several young ladies have already set up a two-story building in the corner of the cave. Green bricks and tiles, red gauze hanging lightly, and a dozen pink lanterns decorate the building in an extremely charming and ambiguous way.
A dozen cute and lovely girls, all with their own unique looks, stood on the upper floor, posing in various postures and waving pink handkerchiefs towards the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor.
The classic phrase "Sir, come up and play" also came out of the mouths of these young ladies. The skills they practiced were most suitable for such romantic words. Every word was so charming that just listening to their shouts would make people feel that their bones were melting and seemed to be pouring out from every pore.
"These big sisters are so awesome!" A'hu, Yu Dianhu and other tiger masters stared at the small building with green eyes.
Lu Yi coughed lightly and said, "Be reserved, be reserved. Look at you, you are wearing monk's robes and cassocks."
After a pause, Lu Yi lowered his voice and said, "I'm really tempted. Go back to the town, change into casual clothes, and do whatever you want... Here... I treat all practitioners in any industry equally and absolutely fairly... But these girls, they also receive those monsters and demons, God knows what weird problems they have?"
"Or maybe they have some vicious plans for them. If they are not careful, they will fall into the trap. Then it will be too late to cry."
Lu Yi carefully reminded the group of tiger masters around him.
The Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor laughed loudly and rushed into the small building impatiently. A layer of pink haze rose slowly, enveloping the entire small building, isolating the sounds inside. Only extremely hazy light and shadows could be seen faintly, and more than a dozen figures could be seen running and chasing each other, looking like they were having a lot of fun.
"Buddha has mercy on me. Good, good." Lu Yi put his hands together and said with emotion: "The harmony of yin and yang is indeed the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. This Jiutou Demon Ancestor is also a wonderful person. He traveled hundreds of thousands of miles just for this moment. It's really... wonderful!"
The big monk at the side rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This evil demon should be killed."
Lu Yi glanced at the monk and shook his head slightly: "My fellow monk, when you are out, harmony is the most important thing."
The great monk glanced at Lu Yi and sneered, "What a joke! The true teaching of the Buddhist sect's prison-suppressing lineage values ​​harmony?"
Just now, when Xueyaozi and his men introduced Lu Yi's identity to the Lord of Jinzhai, they pointed out that Lu Yi was a true descendant of the Buddhist lineage of Zhenyu, and the monk obviously heard it clearly. At this moment, he did not hesitate to use Lu Yi's identity to mock Lu Yi's words just now, "Harmony is the most precious."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Of course. My lineage of Zhenyu is truly compassionate and has always been kind to others... May I ask which sect and school you are from, and who your master is? Perhaps, there is some friendship between our sects!"
The crescent moon scimitar and bloody skull image shown by the monk just now made Lu Yi feel a little terrified. This image was extremely terrifying. As a disciple of Buddhism, he took the path of pure "killing". Lu Yi thought about it for a long time. Based on his understanding of Liangyi Tian Buddhism, it seemed that no monk of any sect would take such a vicious path?
The big monk grinned, and his smile was filled with tremendous resentment, and endless murderous intent almost solidified into substance.
He looked at Lu Yi deeply for a long time, and then nodded slowly: "If you know the origin of this poor monk Du Ku...sect, then you know it. If you don't know, then forget it... Hey, hey."
After a few strange laughs, Monk Du Ku was silent for a while, then shook his head gently, as if he was unable to bear the past.
Outside the cave, there was another extremely slight sound of breaking through the air.
"Shua, shua, shua", several almost invisible Buddha lights flashed into the cave. The presence of this Buddha light was extremely slight. In the whole cave, apart from Lu Yi, only Monk Du Ku reacted immediately.
Lu Yi raised his head suddenly and stood up slowly.
The ability of these Buddha lights to conceal one's whereabouts and conceal one's aura is almost at the pinnacle. If Lu Yi's strength had not soared recently and his golden body's five senses had not possessed Buddha-level abilities, he would not have been able to detect the intrusion of these Buddha lights.
Among the Liangyi Tian Buddhist sect, which branch follows this path?
Lu Yi seemed to have some impression. In the Buddhist scriptures he had read in Dajue Temple, it seemed to be mentioned that there was a Buddha who was extremely low-key in daily life and had almost no presence in Buddhism. The Buddha's light magic power he passed down was almost like an "assassin".
Using the mustard seed-like Sumeru magical power to merge into the void, the Buddha's disciples could be described as "invisible" and "untraceable" when they flew Whether it was killing or escaping, they used first-class magical powers in Buddhism.
What is the title of that Buddha?
Lu Yi was a little confused.
It seems that the Buddha's ability to 'hide' has reached a level close to that of Tao. Unless one is a powerful being who has surpassed him in the cultivation of the Tao, it is difficult to remember his appearance, his title, and all the information related to him.
Lu Yi's golden body has the abilities of a Buddha, but his practice and magical powers are only at the level of a great bodhisattva.
Therefore, he vaguely remembered that there was such an "invisible" Buddha in Buddhism, but he really couldn't remember any detailed information about that Buddha.
A few rays of Buddha's light condensed slightly at the entrance of the cave, and then a flash of Buddha's light revealed a few thin monks in white with gaunt faces.
Monk Du Ku and a group of other senior monks stood up and went toward the monks in white robes.
Both parties put their hands together and saluted each other silently.
Monk Duku took out a bunch of storage rings and handed them to several monks in white robes without saying a word. The leading monk in white robes took the rings, put them into his sleeves, and took out a bunch of storage rings and handed them to Monk Duku.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows.
This is probably what happened. Monk Duku and his group also came here to trade. The storage ring that Monk Duku handed to the leading white-robed monk just now had at least hundreds of rings.
With Monk Duku's cultivation, it is conceivable that the storage rings in his hands are not too small, at least a few miles in size, or even larger. How many good things can hundreds of rings of a few miles in size hold?
The white-robed monk handed nearly a hundred rings to Monk Duku.
This shows the huge volume of transactions between the two parties.
I also heard that the white-robed monk and Monk Du Ku exchanged a few pleasantries, the gist of which was that the white-robed monk advised Monk Du Ku to "take care of himself" and not to be "anxious and radical." Monk Du Ku seemed not to be listening to the white-robed monk's advice, and just clasped his hands together and asked about the recent situation of a certain venerable.
Somewhere in the dark, there was an extremely powerful force that erased some key words.
Lu Yi was very close, but with his current abilities, he could not even hear the title of the "venerable". Lu Yi thought to himself that this must be the "invisible" Buddha recorded in the Dajue Temple's scriptures. Unexpectedly, that person's cultivation had reached such a level that outsiders could not even hear his name!
Lu Yi's gaze lingered on the white-robed monk for a while longer.
The white-robed monk had already noticed Lu Yi. Feeling Lu Yi's gaze, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu Yi: "I am Shensi, and I am honored to meet you, Senior Brother!"
"I am Fahai, and nice to meet Brother Shensi... It is late at night outside, and the mountains are extremely dangerous and the journey is difficult. Brother, please come and sit with me?" Lu Yi greeted him warmly.
"It's okay." Monk Shensi smiled and shook his head gently: "The Buddhism that I practice is best suited for traveling at night. It's a little dangerous, but it doesn't matter."
Pointing at Monk Duku, Monk Shensi said softly, "Junior Brother Duku, you have a stubborn personality. If I have offended you, please bear with me."
Lu Yi smiled and was about to say a few polite words when a huge gap suddenly appeared in the two-story building in the corner of the cave. Several naked and bloody girls ran out crying, "Help, help... This guy is not a human!"
The Dove-headed Demon Ancestor, who was also naked and covered in blood, rushed out panting, his hands like bird claws suddenly stretched out and fiercely grabbed the backs of the necks of the two girls. He hissed, "If you take my money, you have to let me play with you. Why are you running? Why are you running? I have only used half of my Swallowing Essence Technique!"
Shaking his ugly body, the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor grabbed the two girls and pulled them to his side with their terrified screams. He laughed wildly and said, "Hehe, the girls outside the mountains are more beautiful and tender than those inside the mountains... Hehe, especially this blood, it's fresh, sweet and wonderful!"
With his eyes flashing green, the Dove-headed Demon Ancestor hissed at the pale-faced Peach Lady, "Little lady, don't worry. I have plenty of immortal crystals and powerful medicines. I will use these good girls of yours one by one... Hehe, you won't suffer any loss!"
"The ancestor is a stickler for rules. No matter how much your daughters are worth, I will take care of them all!"
The Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor smiled extremely brightly, and a sticky black and red mist emanated from his whole body. The two girls held in his hands had sparkling blood oozing out of their pores. Their faces gradually turned pale, and their bodies limply hung in the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor's hands, without even the strength to struggle.
Lu Yi was slightly angry, but before he could make a move, Monk Du Ku chanted a Buddhist chant, and the shovel in his hand let out a low roar. It suddenly flew out of his hand and turned into an extremely ferocious one-horned black dragon, pouncing at the Jiutou Demon Ancestor with its fangs and claws.
The Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor let out a strange cry and angrily cursed, "Thief Baldy, what do you want to do with me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a stream of dark green magic flame spurted out of the mouth of the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor. A three-pronged flying fork that was more than three feet long rushed out with a faint ghostly howl and collided fiercely with the shovel.
A black gas and a green flame, the two immortal weapons collided with each other hundreds of times in a snap of a finger, making a loud roar that shook the cave slightly. Sharp gas scattered in all directions, cutting deep marks on the walls and ground of the cave.
The more than one hundred men in tight-fitting clothes and masks were close to the fish pond and almost got caught in the disaster.
They all howled in low voices, shouted harshly, and transformed into sharp sword beams and retreated to the side.
Monk Du Ku and Demon Ancestor Jiutou increased their strength, and the range covered by the cold light and sharp aura gradually expanded. The more than a hundred men in tight clothes gradually approached the direction where Lu Yi was.
The elite monks from the three villages spoke out one after another, ordering them not to intrude on their own garrisons.
Seeing that the battle between Monk Duku and Demon Ancestor Jiutou was still undecided, the monks from the three villages were about to engage in a fierce battle with these hundred or so elite soldiers.
Monk Du Ku let out a long roar, clasped his hands together, and then pushed forward hard.
A pair of bloody palm prints with a monstrous bloody smell made a dull sound of breaking through the air, and slapped towards the Dove-headed Demon Ancestor slowly but quickly.
The face of the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor darkened slightly, and he casually threw away two girls whose blood and essence were almost drained. He rubbed his hands together, and extended his sharp claws outward, and countless green smoke wrapped in a little black cold light burst out.
"Swish, swish, swish". The cold light and green smoke hit the pair of blood-colored palm prints fiercely. Only the dense annihilation sound was heard continuously. In the blink of an eye, both of them turned into nothingness.
The Jiutou Demon Ancestor laughed strangely and shouted loudly: "You thief monk, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. I, the ancestor, pay the money, and these women are butchers. It's only natural for them to pay for the meat... You ruined the business of a kind person, you deserve to die!"
Monk Du Ku had an expressionless face, with blood-colored Buddha light gushing from his body, and he approached the Jiutou Demon Ancestor step by step.
The Jiutou Demon Ancestor's body was burning with dark green demonic flames, spewing black demonic energy, and laughing strangely. The soul-stirring demonic sounds echoed in the cave, and many monks rolled on the ground again, covering their ears.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed behind the Dove-headed Demon Ancestor.
When no one was paying attention, even Lu Yi didn't notice when Monk Shensi used that invisible and traceless escape method and when he suddenly appeared behind the Jiutou Demon Ancestor.
'laugh'!
In the hands of Monk Shensi was a shining five-foot green sword, which he pierced the body of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor ninety-nine times in an instant!
Monk Shensi looked thin and elegant, and spoke in a gentle manner. He was indeed a highly cultured Buddhist monk, but he was extremely ruthless in his actions.
Among the Buddhist monks in Liangyi Heaven, very few use "swords".
Occasionally, Buddhist practitioners such as the guardian warriors, the mountain gate Vajra, and the guardian heavenly king use "swords", and some also use heavy swords such as the "Demon-Subduing Sword" and the "Vajra Sword", completely following the traditional Buddhist way of "conquering people with force".
The five-foot-long sword in the hands of the monk Shensi was extremely narrow and long, with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing and the blade only as wide as an ordinary person's little finger. The tip of the sword was even sharper, like a long needle. His sword-controlling method was mainly piercing, and in the blink of an eye, he pierced through almost all the fatal points of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor's body!
His escape method is invisible and his sword moves are fierce.
Moreover, the sword was extremely sharp. The Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor was caught off guard. After being pierced through the heart by the sword, he promptly raised a palm-sized metal ring and emitted a faint light to protect his body.
But the next ninety-eight swords easily pierced through the dim light, leaving more transparent holes on his body.
The head of the Dove-Headed Demon Ancestor turned 180 degrees on his neck and stared straight at Monk Shensi, who was holding his hands together and chanting "compassion" behind his back. Then, black blood began to flow out of his seven orifices.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows!
Monk Shensi not only attacked from behind, but his sword was also poisoned!
What a method!
"You bald thieves, you dare to kill me, the ancestor. I, the Wutou ancestor, will not let you go... Hehe, you have entered the wilderness, and you will never get out!"
The secret demon thunder appeared out of thin air in front of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor. He roared, and the thunder lit up with a faint black light and was about to explode under the control of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor's mind.
Monk Shensi and Monk Duku's faces changed suddenly, and people from all groups in the cave exclaimed in unison.
"Buddha has mercy on me. Don't take out such killing weapons carelessly... Killing people is bad, but destroying the flowers and plants outside and damaging the forest vegetation is also a big sin!"
Lu Yi took a step forward. Without any magical powers or magic power, he simply relied on the brute physical strength. His body directly shook the void and he almost teleported in front of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor.
A palm almost as big as a pot lid grabbed the fist-sized Secret Demon True Thunder, and with a strong clench of his right hand, he held the entire thunder ball tightly in his palm.
"Bang!"
Probably slightly louder than the sound of a bull farting, the Secret Demonic Thunder suddenly exploded in Lu Yi's palm.
A little bit of magic light flashed between Lu Yi's fingers, but his palm did not move at all.
The cave was completely silent, and everyone looked at Lu Yi in horror.
The Jiutou Demon Ancestor said that once this secret demon thunder explodes, unless one has the cultivation of a great bodhisattva, one will surely perish... This terrifying thunder bead can be forcibly held in the palm of one's hand, making it like a firecracker in the secular world, unable to even kill an ant...
How strong is Lu Yi's body?
"Brother, you are so beautiful!" Ah Hu clapped his hands and laughed.
Lu Yu opened his right hand, and in front of the dull gaze of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor, a few thin strands of black demonic energy slowly rose from his palm, whose skin and flesh had not changed color. This was the last trace of this extremely powerful secret demon thunder left in the world.
“This, doesn’t make sense!” The Jiutou Demon Ancestor screamed, “This doesn’t make sense… You, you just wait and see! Just wait and see! Wutou Ancestor will not let you go… My foster father, he, will not let you go!”
Monk Du Ku strode forward and slapped the nine-headed demon on the head.
With a loud bang, the entire body of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor turned into a ball of blood mist. The blood-colored Buddha light released by Monk Duku was like a greedy giant beast, circling around the blood mist, and the blood mist was immediately swallowed up by the Buddha light, leaving no residue.
Lu Yu's brows twitched again when he saw this.
How come the Buddhist skills of this monk Du Ku are even better than Lu Yu’s blood magic skills?
At the moment when Jiutou Demon Ancestor was completely annihilated, a faint voice, like the whispers of a mosquito, sounded from where he was originally located: "Jiutouer... Jiutouer... Who dares to kill me, Jiutouer?"
"Thief Baldy? Damn thief baldy! The thief baldy from the Blood Buddha Temple deserves death!"
"Haha, you can't run away, you can't run away!"
A few points of dark and gloomy magic lights suddenly lit up from where the sound came from. The magic lights were like fireflies, and as fast as lightning, they shot towards Lu Yi, Monk Du Ku, and Monk Shen Si who were nearby.
The blood-colored Buddha light on Monk Du Ku's body rolled, but it could not resist the erosion of the demonic light. He watched as the demonic light penetrated the layer of blood-colored Buddha light and merged into his body.
Monk Shensi's body shook and turned into invisible Buddha light and quickly escaped.
But that bit of magic light flashed and disappeared into the void.
A moment later, Monk Shensi appeared in the corner of the cave. His face became extremely gloomy, and that bit of magic light had already merged into his body.
Only Lu Yi let out a clear whistle, and an extremely deep dark golden light floated on his skin. His tremendous physical strength burst out with all his strength, the void twisted, and the huge blood energy surged like a tsunami, rolling within three feet around him.
That bit of magic light pierced into Lu Yi's body fiercely, and a continuous "buzzing" sound was heard. The magic light and Lu Yi's external energy of blood and qi rubbed and collided fiercely. No matter how the magic light drilled and pierced, it could only penetrate inside with great difficulty. However, just after it moved forward a few centimeters, it was pushed away an inch by the subsequent blood and qi.
The stalemate lasted for a whole cup of tea. After all, this bit of magic light was like water without a source, and was crushed into nothingness by Lu Yi's blood and energy.
Feeling the terrifying aura contained in that bit of magic light, Lu Yi looked at Monk Du Ku and Monk Shen Si solemnly: "Two brothers, be careful, the man just now might have the cultivation level of a Buddha!"
Monk Duku clasped his hands together and said calmly, "I know that Patriarch Wutou... There are powerful people in charge of our Blood Buddha Temple, and he can't cause any trouble. But Brother Shensi, you'd better return as soon as possible!"
Lu Yi glanced at Monk Shensi and nodded silently.
Although Monk Shensi was marked by the magic light, as long as he could return, with the amazing ability of the "invisible" Buddha behind him, he would not be afraid of the old monk Wutou.
What's more, as long as Monk Shensi returns to the Demon-Suppressing City, would this Old Ancestor Wutou dare to go to the Demon-Suppressing City to hunt him down?
If he really dared to go to the Demon-Suppressing City to ask for wildfire, there would definitely be powerful people from the Taoist and Buddhist sects who would come and beat him up with ten or eight people and completely save him!
These evil demons who were suppressed and imprisoned in the wild mountains of the south wouldn't be so stupid, right?
Monk Shensi nodded slightly and said calmly, "In that case, I will go first. Brother ... The wilderness is dangerous, you and the other brothers must be careful. Ling, please pay my respects to the Supreme Lord for me."
Monk Shensi spoke decisively and left even more decisively.
He shook his head, and several other monks in white robes also chanted the Buddha's name, and turned into invisible Buddha light, disappearing without a trace in an instant. Except for Lu Yu, no one knew how they left the cave.
So many things happened in a split second.
Only after Monk Shensi walked away did Lady Tao come to her senses. She cried and threw herself on the two dying girls, crying at the top of her lungs: "Damn it! This is so unjust! I've never seen such a dishonest person... We at Tianxiang Tour House are doing a legitimate business. We only sell our bodies, not our lives!"
"Ah, ah, you bastard, my poor daughter!"
In the small building, a strong smell of blood was faintly wafting. Lu Yi released his mind and then retracted it. Several young girls in the building had died suddenly, and their deaths were so miserable that Lu Yi couldn't bear to describe them in words.
Several leaders of the Xueyaozi village came over cautiously and took a look into the small building, each of them showing a look of sympathy.
"Hey, in the business of the entertainment hall, although most of the customers, including some monsters and demons, are well-behaved... but there are always a few unreliable ones... Tsk!" Soul-Snatching Knife stroked the round belly and murmured, "What a waste of talent, killing such a plump girl? Really..."
Tao Niang cried for a while, then suddenly jumped up and screamed at Chief Steward Liu: "Mr. Liu, are you dead? As the chief steward of foreign affairs, why did you just stand there in a daze? When the devil attacked, why didn't you go up? You brought so many guards with you, are you eating for free?"
Manager Liu was stunned and said in a hoarse voice: "Nonsense! I, I, I never care about these fighting and killing activities! This old devil Jiutou doesn't follow the rules. Naturally, the boss should come forward and talk to them... This breaks the rules. From now on, this business, this business..."
Tao Niangzi's face was flushed with an unusual blush. She said in a hoarse voice, "I don't care. Anyway, you were there and you didn't save these two poor daughters... You have to give my team 10% more supplies, otherwise, I will report it to the boss!"
Lu Yu's face turned dark and he turned and left.
I originally thought that Lady Tao and those older girls really had some kind of mother-daughter relationship.
It turns out that she was using the deaths of these young ladies to blackmail Chief Steward Liu who was present, hoping to get more benefits from him?
Well, these are not serious stuff!
Go ahead and make a fuss, go ahead and make a fuss until you all die!
However, Lu Yi was also puzzled. These tourist gangs were doing this kind of business in the wild mountains, and their team was composed entirely of gorgeous girls. How could they not even have a capable guard?
In a blink of an eye, Lu Yi came back to this feeling.
How many guards do you need to prepare to do this special business in the wild mountains? Instead of dealing with it toughly, it is better to use a soft knife to grind people... No matter how many guards you prepare, how many can they compare to the endless number of monsters and evil spirits in the wild? No matter how powerful the guards you prepare are, can they compare to those old demons who have been around for many years?
Instead of using force, it is better to seduce people with beauty, soft words, and tenderness, so that a few old devils can be bewitched and dizzy. Isn't this the establishment of an unspoken rule?
The evil demons and monsters in these wild mountains also have needs.
There should be very few rule breakers as unscrupulous as Jiutou Demon Ancestor! If you encounter one, you are unlucky!
Lu Yi figured out what was going on here. He had just walked back to the campfire and hadn't sat down when he heard a sinister laugh. He turned around suddenly and saw that where the three points of magic light had burst out, a large area of ​​magic light suddenly gushed out like a fountain.
Apart from Monk Du Ku, and the four people including Blood Waist, Soul-Snatching Knife, Thorn Finger, and the Lord of the Golden Village who had just come over, everyone in the cave, including the team of more than a hundred elite monks, and the team of several hundred people who were suspected to be the elite private army of a large family, all had several leaders who came over and looked into the small building.
After all, even cultivators with profound skills are also curious.
Especially when something like this happened in this public security base, it was only natural that they sent people to investigate.
Everyone gathered together, attracted by the shouting and quarreling of Tao Niangzi and Liu Zongguan, when a large piece of magic light suddenly emerged. The magic light was as fast as lightning, and instantly fell on the onlookers.
The gentle whistle of Wutou Patriarch came: "Hehe, I caught you, don't even think about escaping... I've remembered your scent... And I remember these girls very clearly too! Don't even think about escaping... If you dare to kill me, Jiutou, you will all die, all of you will die!"
Then there was a strange laugh.
The laughter was extremely unpleasant, as if hundreds of strange birds and beasts had sulfuric acid poured down their throats, and then a handful of burning charcoal was stuffed into their throats. The shrill sounds they made were truly a terrible torture to the eardrums.
Monk Du Ku didn't care, as he had already been marked by the magic light.
The faces of the three men including Xueyaozi suddenly changed, but when they looked at Lu Yu, they felt a little more confident - just now Lu Yu crushed the Secret Demon Thunder with one hand. Such strength was truly astonishing.
The leader of the hundred or so elite men and the leader of the private army of a large family all suddenly changed their expressions.
When the magic light attacked just now, they tried every means but failed to stop the erosion of the magic light. They could only watch the magic light invade their bodies and leave marks on them.
This means that the old man Wutou may come to them at any time!
Watch the fun, watch the fun, but think of yourself as the main cause of the fun!
I don’t know what these people are thinking right now, but their expressions are very interesting.
But Manager Liu and Lady Tao were even worse.
Chief Steward Liu turned pale with fear, and kept turning his head to look towards the cave entrance. It was obvious that if it wasn't late at night and the mountains outside were too dangerous, he would have been eager to lead his men back.
Lady Tao looked as pale as death, and she held onto Manager Liu's sleeve tightly.
If it were other "old-time" procuresses, they would have many old friends in the wild mountains, including some "old ancestors" among the evil demons and monsters. They would act like a spoiled child, act cute, send a few good daughters to warm their beds, and similar problems. The grudge of the death of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor was not their doing, so it was all written off.
But the team led by Tao Niangzi, as mentioned before, had only about 300 members. It was just a "new team" that had only been in business for about ten years and had not accumulated many connections. No powerful evil demons, monsters or overlords had visited it.
It's too late to establish a relationship or to claim him as your godfather!
And Patriarch Wutou has such means that he can release magic light and mark the "enemies" present at an unknown distance. He is undoubtedly a "powerful" being.
Manager Liu can return to the Tianxiangyouguan headquarters as soon as daybreak, but what about Lady Tao?
Can she escape back with so many grown girls?
Tsk, that's possible, but she had worked so hard to climb to the position of leader of this team. If she just ran away this time, she would bring a powerful enemy to the Tianxiang Tour Hall headquarters and even affect the "business" of other teams... Tao Niangzi didn't dare to imagine her own end!
Perhaps, she will be sent directly to the Wutou Patriarch by the behind-the-scenes boss of Tianxiang Youguan to vent his anger?
How many of the owners of a brothel, especially this special brothel in the wild mountains, can be merciful and merciful "good people"?
Holding onto Manager Liu tightly, Tao Niangzi made up her mind to drag Manager Liu into this mess and not let him get away like this... If she was going to die, she should drag someone down with her, right?
I heard that this guy surnamed Liu had some connections in Tianxiangyouguan. Tao Niangzi seemed to have grabbed the last straw and would never let him get away.
"What's this?" The leader of the heavily armored private army of the noble family, the burly man with a formidable aura, cursed angrily: "You gentlemen just came to watch the fun, why did you involve us? You thieves, this is the trouble you caused, you have to find a way to solve it!"
The big man was furious, and hundreds of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy crossbows stood up together, forming a crescent formation and surrounding Monk Du Ku from a distance.
These people showed malicious intent. Nearly a hundred monks from the Blood Buddha Temple also stood up, put their hands together, and with sticky blood-colored Buddha light lingering around their bodies, they rushed towards these soldiers with a bloodthirsty smile.
As they moved, the hundred or so monks wearing black clothes, wearing masks and with a murderous and cold aura also moved.
They also surrounded Monk Duku, and their leader said sinisterly, "Monk, you killed the man, and you caused the disaster. It's wrong to involve us in this mess, right?"
As he was talking, the leader looked towards Lu Yi and said, "Master, what do you think?"
Lu Yi sat cross-legged beside the campfire, kneading the top of the caracal with his left hand and stroking Da Huang's head with his right hand. He smiled confidently and said, "Oh? How did this matter get involved with me again?"
The leader said coldly: "Why is it okay?"
Lu Yi spread his hands and shook his head: "Even if I have something to do with this matter, what do you want to do? Capture me alive and hand me over to Wutou Patriarch to prove your innocence?"
With a faint smile, Lu Yi said dimly: "If you really think so, first, you can't capture me; second, even if I am captured alive by you and sent to Wutou Patriarch, I will bite to death. You are my accomplices. It was you who joined hands with me to kill Jiutou Demon Patriarch!"
There was another moment of dead silence in the cave.
Even Manager Liu and Lady Tao, who were arguing with each other, stared at Lu Yi in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
Everyone is an old hand, and they all know that the masked leader just spoke to Lu Yu, clearly intending to drag Lu Yu into the muddy water.
It is obvious that the death of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor has little to do with Lu Yi.
In fact, it was Lu Yi who destroyed the secret demon thunder with a violent palm and saved the people in the cave.
But precisely because of Lu Wu's slap, his terrifying and unfathomable strength was exposed, so the leader of the masked men wanted to force Lu Wu into this matter - with an extra tall man to carry the load, if the sky falls, Lu Wu will be hit first, right?
But who could have imagined that Lu Yi had such vulgar habits and did not have the demeanor of a "senior master" at all.
The masked leader had bad intentions, and Lu Yi's statement was even more lazy.
You can force Lu Yi into this vortex, but the consequences are definitely not what you want to see.
With just one sentence, Lu Yi blocked the road.
Monk Duku put his hands together and laughed, "This Taoist friend's wishful thinking is wrong."
The masked leader had a sinister look. He looked at Lu Yi, then at Monk Du Ku, and was silent for a long time.
The leader of the private army snorted and said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. But we were innocently implicated, which is really annoying."
Monk Du Ku still smiled and said nothing, but the evil aura around him became stronger.
Lu Yi took out a few dried fruits, broke them open and fed them to the big parrot lying on his head, letting the peels fall randomly on his big bald head. He said calmly: "Why bother so much? It's only a day's journey from here to the control area of ​​the Demon Suppression City. It may take less than a day to return along the same route."
"You can return and find a master to erase the mark on your body, or simply never step into the wilderness again in this life. Even if the demonic flames of the Wutou Patriarch are raging, he won't be able to run to the Demon Suppression City to do anything to you, right?"
"Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said contemptuously, "Honestly, do you want justice? Or do you want some compensation? It's not going to work... Brother Duku, you may not be able to deal with him. As for me, if you keep showing your teeth, I will slap you one by one and guarantee that you will all be liberated."
Pointing fiercely at the masked leader, Lu Yi said coldly: "I don't like the tone of your voice and the look in your eyes... restrain yourself, otherwise I will have ten thousand reasons to believe that you are colluding with the evil spirits, setting a trap, and intending to murder the city lord. Not only will you be reduced to ashes, but your master's family behind you will also be implicated. Do you believe it?"
The private army leader's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously made a slight gesture to his hundreds of subordinates.
The hundreds of soldiers who were originally on the verge of a fight looked at each other and slowly restrained their breath. From their ferocious looks as if they were ready to kill someone, they became as silent as wooden stakes.
The masked leader sneered: "Lord Fahai is so majestic and fierce. However, I may not be your opponent, but the master behind me..."
The leader really wanted to say something harsh.
But Tao Niangzi's eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly she cried out "Ouch", slapped her thighs hard with both hands, and then laughed "Calm down, calm down, when you are out and about, meeting someone is fate, everyone should value harmony... When traveling in the world, harmony is the only way to get rich, everyone, don't you think this is the truth?"
Tao Niangzi came close to the masked leader, and gently patted his chest with her small hand holding a water-red handkerchief, and said with a giggle, "Calm down, calm down. Hasn't this Wutou Patriarch attacked us yet?"
Tao Niangzi ran to Lu Yi with a smile on her face. She originally wanted to show off her charm to Lu Yi, but when she saw Lu Yi's half-smile, and then looked at Lu Yi sitting cross-legged on the ground, still with an astonishing height of about 15 or 16 feet, Tao Niangzi swallowed hard, and her charming charm was immediately restrained by 70% or 80%.
"Lord City Lord, we are threatened by these evil demons. You... have to do something for the common people!" Tao Niang wiped her eyes fiercely with a handkerchief, and tears spurted out like a fountain.
Lu Yu frowned slightly and coughed lightly, "This, Lady Tao, right? I am the mayor of the Ninth City of Zhenzi... Your Tianxiang Youguan does not seem to be a business of the Ninth City of Zhenzi. If you have any grievances or difficulties, you should go to your city mayor to complain."
Tao Niang was stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Yi would say such words in front of so many people.
In her imagination, as the mayor of the town, facing her crying and acting like a spoiled brat in public, he should show the composure of a mayor, right?
For example, "When you see injustice, help them with your sword."
How could Lu Yi say such a thing?
"But, you are the city lord..." Tao Niang stammered.
"I am the mayor of the Ninth City of Zhenzi. My authority is limited to the good citizens and legitimate merchants who are registered in the Ninth City of Zhenzi and pay taxes on time... Tianxiang Youguan is not a merchant of the Ninth City of Zhenzi, and Lady Tao and your daughters are not permanent residents of the Ninth City of Zhenzi. This place is not under the jurisdiction of my Ninth City of Zhenzi."
"Therefore, whether from a legal perspective or a human perspective... it seems that I don't need to do anything or say anything." Lu Yi looked at Tao Niang very seriously.
"But, you are a Buddhist disciple..." Tao Niangzi was a little at a loss: "Buddhist disciples should be compassionate... We weak women are in trouble... Shouldn't you, should..."
Lu Yi recalled how Tao Niangzi had seen several young ladies die tragically, but she was not sad at all. Instead, she just pulled on Chief Steward Liu, wanting to tear more resources from him. He couldn't help but smile coldly, "Tao Niangzi is wrong again. I, the Buddha, come from the Buddhist sect's prison-suppressing lineage... I am a first-rate expert at killing and arson. As for being merciful... Haha, the prison-suppressing lineage only has anger as its means. How can we be merciful?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu stabbed him again fiercely: "Even if the Buddha still has some compassion in his heart, do you think he will use it on you?"
Lady Tao was stunned.
She was silent for a long while before she jumped up in anger as if she was butted on the buttocks by the horns of an angry bull: "Why? Why? Why can't it be used on me? Ah, you are the lord of the town, you are a disciple of Buddhism, shouldn't you protect us good people? You, you, you..."
Lu Yi said calmly: "Are you a good citizen?"
Tao Niangzi's eyes widened and she hissed, "How come it's not?"
Lu Yi's tone became extremely cold: "The brothel business has existed since ancient times. Whether to work in it is a matter of fate, character, the world, and destiny. Some people are forced to do it, while others enjoy it. I won't comment much... But since you are the mother of Tianxiang Youguan, you bring these girls to make a living outside. After these girls died, you only cared about tearing up more property..."
Lu Yi sighed: "Are you still a good citizen? Your conscience has been fed to the dogs..."
Dahuang opened his mouth and bit Lu Yi's calf hard.
Lu Yi hurriedly stretched out his hands to tear the rhubarb apart: "Shout, Shout, yes, yes, yes, her conscience, dogs won't eat it, cats won't eat it, birds won't eat it, snakes won't eat it... Hey, Shout... Ahem, did you see it? Peach Lady?"
Lu Yi looked at Tao Niangzi, whose face was as dark as a gloom, and shook his head gently: "You are not a good citizen, really not."
"So, you seek my protection? What does it have to do with me?"
Lu Yi looked at Tao Niangzi in confusion: "You can just go back to the Demon Suppression City with that Chief Steward Liu. As long as you go back, can the Wutou Patriarch still break into the Demon Suppression City and cause trouble for you?"
Lu Yi looked at the masked leader, then at the leader of the private army, and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand. What are you thinking when you put on such a tense or mournful look?"
Pointing to the north, Lu Yi said coldly: "It's only three thousand miles. Although the mountain road is difficult to travel, you can return safely in one day. Set off at dawn, and there is a high probability that you will return safely. Why do you have to act like this here?"
"The mountain roads are difficult to travel in the wild mountains. Even a powerful Buddha cannot break through the air and fly away. The cave of the Wutou Patriarch is thousands of miles away from here. It is impossible for him to get here within three to five days. What are you thinking when you are acting like this? Are you all crazy?"
Tao Niangzi moved her lips and suddenly cried out, "But I can't go back... If I go back... I have worked hard for half my life and finally got to this position..."
The private army leader's eyes flickered and he shook his head slightly.
The masked leader had a cold and murderous look in his eyes, staring straight at the place where the Jiutou Demon Ancestor was just killed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Yi shook his head and ignored this group of weird guys.
Shocked by Lu Yi's tough attitude, neither Tao Niangzi nor the masked leader or the private army leader said anything.
Everyone returned to their own campfires, and the cave returned to silence.
The four people of Xueyaozi were also marked by the magic light, and they were quite worried. But seeing Lu Yi's nonchalant look, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Especially the leader of Jinzhai, who didn't care at all.
He had already reaped a lot of rewards, and was preparing to return to the ninth city with his men. Even if he was marked by the old ancestor Wutou, he could go back to Zhenmo City and spend some money to go to the Zhenmo Division to thoroughly clean the marks in his body. Why should he worry about anything?
No words were spoken that night.
When it was just dawn, Xueyaozi and his men had already called their subordinates and ran out into the forest, casting spells to chop down some towering trees, splitting them into neat pieces of firewood. They then used magic to remove the moisture and stacked them neatly in the cave.
This is the unspoken rule in the mountains.
For a True Immortal-level cultivator, collecting firewood is a piece of cake and not a big deal at all.
However, all monks who used these public bases followed the unspoken rules and replenished the supplies in the cave every time they left.
In these wild and desolate mountains full of dangers where one could fall at any time, this has become a silent ritual, a ritual that even carries a bit of tragic grandeur.
They replenished the firewood and left some commonly used elixirs and emergency supplies in a grotto deep in the cave - even Lady Tao replenished some consumables in that grotto.
Lu Yi and others continued to move southward.
Chief Steward Liu naturally hurried back to the north, and happened to be traveling with the Lord of Jinzhai.
However, Tao Niangzi, Monk Du Ku, and the other two groups of people did not return. They all followed Lu Yi and continued to move south.
In this way, several teams traveled together, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight days had passed, and they had already penetrated tens of thousands of miles into the wilderness.
