Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 417: Wutai's First Defeat

The old man was more curious about the whereabouts of Wutai than Shao Siming.

"I wonder who Wutai sent?"

Wu Chaoxi stepped forward and said, "The first to arrive were three sixth-rank monks, a red-browed monk holding a crescent-shaped shovel, a bald Taoist with a snake-bone whip hidden in his sleeve, and another dressed as an official holding a peach blossom fan."

As he spoke, Wu Chaoxi cast a spell to evolve the scene he saw.

Shao Siming knew at a glance that this was the scene that Wu Chaoxi saw through the crows around him.

After a silent calculation, he instantly understood the identity of the visitor, and even figured out something about the subsequent visitors from the Wutai Sect.

Chu Tai in the Jinhua Cave Heaven also cooperated in casting the spell. Having already obtained some status from the Donghuang Bell, he could make accurate calculations about these sixth-rank cultivators.

"These three guys are called the Three Ghosts of Niu Mountain. The eldest is the bald Taoist, nicknamed the Snake Bone Ghost Taoist. The second is the young man, who calls himself the Jade Face Ghost Immortal. The last one is the ascetic, who is the Demon Fire Ghost Monk."

"The three are disciples of He Zai, the fifth-rank cultivator of Wutai Sect, the Yaksha Ghost King. He Zai's cultivation method is a mixture of the three paths of immortality, Buddhahood, and demons, but his achievements in each are not high. It's just that he has practiced for many years and refined many powerful magic weapons, so he has some fame in Wutai Sect."

"He Zai, the Yaksha Ghost King? He is an old acquaintance of my Yulou Pavilion. It is not surprising that he is here this time."

The old man suddenly spoke, then smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Do you know this He Zai, fellow Daoist?"

"We are acquaintances. A certain senior brother fought against him twice a hundred years ago, and I had the honor of watching."

Hearing this, Shao Siming did not ask any more questions, but pointed at the snake bone ghost road.

"This guy is dressed as a Taoist priest, but he is actually practicing magic. The snake bone whip he uses is made from elite white iron and imitates the appearance of snake bones. It uses snake venom as the material and incorporates a lot of magic. It is quite strange, but his method is not refined, and the transformation of shape and quality is not complete at one time."

"As for the Jade-faced Ghost Immortal, he practices the way of the immortal, but he lost his temper in his early years, and his body became stiff and half-dead. He focuses on his spirit and soul. He usually likes to collect nourishing energy, but this guy collected Yin energy in his early years, and after his body had problems, he preferred Yang energy..."

As Shao Siming described the characteristics of several people one by one, both Minghua and the old man showed some surprise, but they also thought that Shao Siming was just good at calculations.

But when Shao Siming began to explain the abilities of the Yaksha Ghost King He Zai, the two of them showed shocked expressions and admired the abilities of the Jinhua Sect even more.

Minghua even felt that his master's previous decision to form an alliance with the Jinhua Sect was the right thing to do. Their lineage practiced the sword immortal method, and although their combat power was good, they were really bad at deducing the secrets of heaven. If they found someone who could predict the future, their life would be much easier.

For example, now that he knows the abilities of the four masters and apprentices of Niu Shan, he can think of more than a dozen methods to target the three ghosts Minghua, and there is hope that he can kill one of them when he meets them. He also has a 60% chance of escaping unscathed against the Yaksha Ghost King He Zai.

But the impact that Shao Siming brought to Yulouge was not limited to this. After she told about the magic weapons and skills of the Yaksha Ghost King He Zai, she pointed out that there was a destiny floating behind the four people.

"This fate may be from the Wutai Sect's cultivators who have not yet arrived, or it may be someone who helps calculate the destiny behind the scenes. In order not to alert the enemy, I have not made in-depth calculations. But I can be sure that this fate has not yet fallen, so we can try it out."

Upon hearing this, the old man from Yulou Pavilion smiled and asked, "How do you test it?"

"Let the younger generation fight the three ghosts, and I will restrain He Zai. You stay in the dark and take action when the time is right. How about that?"

Shao Siming's answer made the old man smile and nod. After instructing his fellow disciples Minghua to listen to Shao Siming's words, he returned to the Jade Tower and silently honed his magic power and swordsmanship.

Shao Siming, on the other hand, instructed Minghua and his fellow disciples as usual, and asked Feifei, Wu Chaoxi and others to go out and set up the formation.

Two days later, a letter called a visiting card, but in fact a threatening letter, was delivered to Yulou Pavilion.

Shao Siming took it and read it. The content of the post roughly required Yulouge to hand over the inheritance immediately, set up an altar, and worship Wutai Taoist as their own ancestor. There were also some words below that if they did not obey, the entire Yulouge family would be massacred.

Shao Siming sneered: "These three guys do know some etiquette, but they just didn't learn it very well."

As he said this, he handed the invitation to Taoist Minghua beside him. With just two glances, a sharp edge appeared on Minghua's palm, which chopped the invitation into countless pieces.

"Not to mention that we have a senior here now, even if it was just me and my junior brother, we would not be able to do what they want."

As he spoke, he began to absorb and exhale vital energy towards his newly acquired flying sword Xianlin, silently combining his own magic power with it and sharing the little sword intent left by the True Lord in his body.

With the polishing of this sword intent, the surface of the Xianlin Sword became sharper and sharper, and a ray of sword intent was slowly forming inside.

The next day, a black cloud wrapped in the three ghosts of Niushan came directly to the door.

"The two little devils from Yulou Pavilion, why don't you hurry up and..."

Before he could finish his words, Minghua and his fellow apprentice had already taken action. Two sword lights flew out, pointing directly at the vital points of the three ghosts.

Before the three ghosts came, they had already investigated some of the situations in Yulou Pavilion and knew that this lineage was now in a very weak position. The two sixth-rank cultivators were in poor health and had no magic weapons. The few times they appeared in public, they used first-rate sword energy.

Seeing the sword light falling, he didn't take it seriously. The Demon Fire Ghost Monk raised his hand, and a beam of demon fire flew out, mixing with magic power and turning into a huge gray hand burning with flames, trying to pinch the sword light.

His idea was not wrong, but Brother Minghua received funding from Shao Siming and obtained two top-quality flying swords. As soon as his magical hand touched the sword light, it immediately turned into green smoke and sparks and disappeared.

If it weren't for the Snake Bone Ghost and Jade-faced Ghost Immortal nearby coming to the rescue, it would have been normal for the bones and flesh to be chopped into mud.

However, the Snake Bone Ghost and the Jade-faced Ghost Immortal acted hastily, and their magical powers were broken when facing the two immortal swords of Xianlin and Juying, and they suffered minor injuries.

After this, the three of them no longer dared to underestimate Minghua and his fellow apprentice, and they all released the magic weapons they had refined.

A ray of green light shot out from Snake Bone Ghost Dao's sleeves and twisted towards the Xianlin Sword like a spirit snake.

Three short peach wood spikes flew out from behind the Jade-faced Ghost Immortal's head, trying to block the Firefly Sword.

At this time, the pair of red eyebrows of the devil fire ghost monk burned up, turned into two streams of light and fell, rushing towards Minghua brothers. Facing the smelly snake bone whip lock, Minghua drew the sword, and the green spiritual light immediately dissipated, and the magic weapon that the snake bone ghost had practiced for many years immediately dimmed.

As for the three short peach wood thorns, they were even more pitiful. They couldn't even hold on for a moment in front of the Firefly Sword, and they broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

But neither the Snake Bone Ghost nor the Jade-faced Ghost Immortal cared about feeling sorry for him. They each cast spells to block the sword and buy time for the ghost monk.

Both of them knew very well that the pair of red eyebrows of the ghost monk were refined by the secret demons from all over the heavens. Over the past hundred years, they have been fed with the blood of tens of thousands of people. They are extremely powerful and are best at destroying the spiritual light of people's guardians.

Although the two sword immortals of Yulou Pavilion have some cultivation, they have no extra spiritual power and obviously have no magical weapon to protect themselves. As long as the pair of Red Eyebrows get close to them, the outcome will be decided.

Just when the two were planning how to torture Minghua and his fellow apprentice, a locust jade pendant that looked like it was carved from mutton-fat white jade fell down, emitting clear rays of light and stopping the Red Eyebrows.

Then a crow's cry was heard, and the three ghosts of Niushan felt their scalps tingling and their hearts trembled. The next second, a wind and thunder flag, a beam of water light, and a golden and fire sword flew out, each slashing at one person.

"stop!"

Seeing the three disciples in danger, the Yaksha Ghost King He Zai who was hiding in the back could no longer sit still. He suddenly appeared in the air, raised his hand and shot out a white bone bead, which dropped black air and went towards the disciples to protect them.

"Fellow Daoist He Zai, since you have the guts to ask someone to give up their inheritance, you should be prepared to be killed. Are you still planning to bully the weak? Come on, let's compare our skills and see whether your Wutai method is more mysterious or my Taiyi method is better!"

Shao Siming walked out of the Jade Pavilion and gently waved the purple bamboo branch. A clear sound rang out, and the sound of the tide surged, directly defeating the black air.

At the same time, a pair of dragon and tiger hooks flew out and twisted towards He Zai's head.

"not good!"

He Zai knew that he was being plotted against, and he shouted hurriedly: "Lu Ming, why don't you do it?"

As he spoke, He Zai also sacrificed a pair of bone swords to meet the dragon and tiger hook. At the same time, a bone banner rose from behind his head, standing above his head, releasing a dark cloud and hanging down white light to protect his body.

However, while he was protecting himself, his disciples naturally had no time to rescue him. One of them had his head chopped off by the golden sword, one had his body destroyed by the wind and thunder, and another was cut into pieces by thousands of water blades.

He Zai's eyes were red, but his bone sword was like his disciples' magic weapons in front of the dragon-tiger hook. After being turned by the dragon-tiger hook, the bone sword's spiritual light immediately dimmed. After several collisions, it was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.

As for the white bone banner, although it lasted a little longer, facing the back-and-forth attacks of the dragon-tiger hook and the purple bamboo branch, cracks gradually appeared on it and it was difficult to maintain.

He Zai was shocked and angry when he saw this scene, and he shouted to all around: "Lu Ming? Lu Ming!"

"Stop screaming! Is this the guy you're looking for?"

An old man covered in blood walked out from the darkness, holding a bunch of hideous heads in his hand. He searched for a while, picked one out, threw it in front of He Zai, and said with a smile: "Back then, I thought you two had shifty eyes, but I didn't expect that when I see you again today, you have already started to act like a tyrant and rob people by trickery!"

"Old ghost Gu Shang, you are still alive!"

He Zai showed a look of horror, then his eyes widened: "No, you mastered the Taiyi Immortal Sect's superior sword scripture back then, how could you be fine now?"

As he said that, he turned around and looked at Shao Siming. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the other party say helplessly: "Daoyou, if you kill the other party so quickly, we won't be able to catch any big fish from the Wutai Sect."

Gu Shang, the old senior of Yulou Pavilion, laughed and said, "This is why you don't understand Wutai Sect. When they were expanding outward, they liked to be polite when they were arrogant, but when they met someone more ruthless, they would start to talk about etiquette again. We killed two of their fifth-rank cultivators, so it's inevitable that someone would come and argue with us, but if we really started fighting, they wouldn't have the guts. After all, Yulou Pavilion is just a small family, and there's no need for them to spend so much effort."

"Is that so?"

Shao Siming nodded, waved the purple bamboo branch, and twisted the dragon and tiger hook up and down, taking off He Zai's head. A black gas or a baby flew out, but before it could take off, it was shattered by the tide sound, leaving a little spiritual light that returned to the underworld.

After doing all this, Gu Shang glanced at his disciples and signaled them with his eyes.

Minghua and his fellow apprentices were stunned for a moment and did not react. Gu Shang was so angry that he went forward and searched the bodies of He Zai and his four apprentices. He found some cultivation materials and turned back to Shao Siming and scolded him with a smile: "Sure enough, this guy still has the same temper as before. He likes to keep valuable things on his body. This saves me from looking for his dojo. Daoist friends, is there anything you need?"

"My Jinhua Sect doesn't need this thing. My fellow Daoist sect is in need of some resources right now, so just keep it for yourself."

Chu Tai, who owns a cave in Jinhua Sect, has so many resources in his hands that there are enough for many people to cultivate to the fourth level and some left over. Naturally, he doesn't think much of these things. Instead of haggling over them, he might as well give them to Yulou Pavilion.

Gu Shang heard this and smiled. He threw the things to Minghua and asked him to deal with it himself. Then he called the boy to him and said, "Mingxing, Shao Siming and I have something to discuss. You can take the two fellow Taoists from Jinhua Sect and Yinjing Sect to go somewhere else for a walk."

The young man Mingxing nodded and left with Feifei and others. Minghua also slowly retreated under the gaze of the old man.

After they all left, Gu Shang opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell on the ground and immediately produced many sharp edges, chopping the surrounding grass and trees into powder.

Shao Siming stretched out his hand and tapped lightly, repairing the plants while also helping Gu Shang to regulate his energy and stabilize his injuries.

After a while, Gu Shang finally recovered and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."

"I can't compare to you, my fellow Daoist, fighting fiercely. Your own body has been severely damaged, and you still have to use your great magical powers to quickly kill the opponent."

Hearing this, Gu Shang smiled and pointed at Lu Ming's head and said, "When I saw this guy before, I found that he was carrying a Wutai Sect communication magic weapon, and I immediately thought of this idea."

"After all, you will leave sooner or later, fellow Daoist. If I don't show some fighting ability, I don't know how many people the Wutai Sect will send to trouble my two disciples in the future. If I explode now, I will let them know that there is a sword immortal in my Yulou Pavilion who can kill a fifth-grade swordsman in an instant. After a while, I will go out to travel, which can also be regarded as a deterrent."

Upon hearing this, Shao Siming thought to himself that it was just as he expected, but his expression did not change at all, as he said casually, "It is not safe to travel outside. The Wutai Sect now has two fourth-grade celestial beings. If they intend to surround you, you may not be able to escape. Why don't you go to my Jinhua Sect and have a seat? I don't believe that the Wutai Taoist has the courage to go to the Jinhua Cave Heaven to discuss Taoism with me?"

Gu Shang heard this and laughed, "What if he has the guts?"

Shao Siming smiled and said softly, "I just need to trap it and then spread the word. The Emei Sect will definitely be interested in doing the rest. Am I right, little Qi Guang?"
