Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The sinister man pondered for a moment and said, "Jin Luo's words should be true. Chen Yuan is very powerful, but unknown. It is possible that he is a physical training disciple secretly trained by Ji Laogui in order to seize the Fulong Chizhen Vine."

"If the white spiritual fire in his hand is really that mysterious, we cannot let it go. In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Ao should quickly issue an order to order the Myriad Monsters and the Sirens to search for this person's whereabouts."

When he mentioned the "white spiritual fire", Ao Fang's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he nodded slightly: "I will hand over the Demon King Order to Fellow Daoist Luan later."

The sinister man added: "But apart from this person, Ao Bo and Kun Feng are also suspicious."

"Once my nephew Ao Hui dies, there will be a vacancy for entering the Dragon Transformation Pool. According to the order, the Blue Dragon lineage should take up the position."

"Ao Bo is deeply favored by the Ao Hai Monster King. The Ao Hai Monster King will definitely give this quota to it. It has every motive to attack nephew Ao Hui."

Ao Fang's eyes turned cold. "Ao Bo is from the Blue Dragon lineage after all. My third brother and I are not in a position to take action. We would like to trouble Daoist Fellow Luan to send a few clansmen to ambush and kill Ao Bo."

“No matter if he was the one who did it or not, now that Ao Hui is dead, Ao Bo must be buried with him. Otherwise, all the efforts to suppress the Blue Dragon lineage over the years will be in vain!”

The red-browed man was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Brother, let me go. Within three days, I will retrieve Ao Bo's demon pill, extract its dragon tendons, peel off its dragon scales, and burn them for Ao Hui!"

Ao Fang scolded, "That's enough! You stay on the island and don't go anywhere!"

The Red Eyebrowed man's momentum immediately weakened, but he still glanced at the sinister man unwillingly and muttered, "The Demon King ordered Luan to kill him, and Ao Bo also ordered Luan to send people to kill him. Before, my eldest brother even asked him to be in charge of patrolling the Red Dragon Sea. He is just a guest elder of the Red Dragon lineage, but he always bullies me, a legitimate elder..."

Ao Fang shouted, "Shut up! Do not be disrespectful to Fellow Daoist Luan!"

The red-browed man finally stopped talking, but still glanced angrily at the sinister man.

Ao Fang bowed to the sinister man, with a slightly apologetic look on his face: "Daoyou Luan, I am a reckless person. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

The sinister man said nonchalantly, "Fellow Daoist, you are embarrassing me. The Second Elder is straightforward and generous. He speaks his mind directly, which is what I like best."

He turned around and bowed to the red-browed man, smiling and saying, "Second Elder, I have to shoulder many responsibilities and feel exhausted. I really want you to share some of the responsibilities with me, but these tasks are all ordered by the First Elder, and I dare not change them without permission."

"How about this? I recently got a jar of Sanyang wine from a human cultivator. I will invite the Second Elder to my residence later to drink the wine together as an apology. How do you think?"

The red-browed man was delighted: "Sanyang wine? Great! Old Luan, you are really generous. I misunderstood you. You are a magnanimous person. Don't mind. I will go and roast that Canghai whale and we will have a good meal!"

After saying that, he turned around and flew to the other side of the volcano at a very fast speed.

Ao Fang looked at the back of the red-browed man and smiled, but then his face darkened again: "Fellow Daoist Luan, what's going on with this Canghai Whale? Is my third brother causing trouble again?"

The sinister man shook his head and said, "It's not the Second Elder's fault. A Level 7 Sea Whale chased a Level 7 Purple Electric Eel all the way to the Red Dragon Sea. It happened to run into the Second Elder who was visiting a friend. He spoke rudely to the Second Elder, so he was captured and imprisoned in the mansion."

Ao Fang's face became even gloomier: "The Kunyu clan is becoming more and more presumptuous!"

The sea whale has always been attached to the Kun fish clan, while the purple electric eel has been attached to the Jiaolong clan.

That sea whale actually dared to chase the purple electric eel all the way to the vicinity of the Red Dragon Sea, and did not take the Dragon clan seriously at all.

A mere level seven monster would never have the courage to do this. It must be the Kunyu clan who is provoking it from behind.

The sinister man said, "The Kunyu clan's actions are getting more and more aggressive, and my nephew Ao Hui unfortunately died in Jueling Island. Kun Feng happened to be there at the time, so it's hard for me not to suspect that this matter is related to him."

“And even if Kun Feng has nothing to do with this, he has already mastered the art of teleportation before he has survived the transformation thunder tribulation. His bloodline is so pure that it is rare to see it in ten thousand years. We must not allow it to grow.”

Ao Fang nodded: "I will report this matter to the clan and arrange for people to find an opportunity to assassinate Kun Feng. This boy must not be allowed to stay!"

The sinister man reminded again: "Since Kun Feng has revealed his teleportation technique, the Kunyu clan will certainly protect him strictly. You must not act rashly and alert the enemy."

"Also, we must not let the Blue Dragon family know about this. Ao Bo was also present when my nephew Ao Hui was in danger. Later, he and Kun Feng explained the matter to the Monster King. This matter is a bit strange and we must be on guard."

"In my opinion, we can temporarily hold off on attacking Ao Bo, or even let him enter the Dragon Transformation Pond and investigate carefully to see if he has any secret dealings with the Kunyu Clan. It won't be too late to kill him then."

"And Ao Hai Monster King thinks highly of Ao Bo and is extremely protective of his people. Although he is unlikely to betray the clan, this matter cannot be known to him."

Ao Fang said solemnly, "Daoyou Luan's words are like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. I will push my clan to investigate Ao Bo and take action against Kun Feng. Thanks to Daoyou Luan's planning, my Red Dragon lineage can prosper even more."

The sinister man smiled and said, "You are too kind, my friend. As a guest elder of the Red Dragon lineage, I will naturally do my best to give you advice."

"I also ask you to quickly issue the Demon King Order, offer a generous reward, and hunt down Chen Yuan from the Tianji Sect to divert attention."

Ao Fang's eyes flashed: "Okay! Ao Bo must be investigated, Kun Feng must be killed, and Chen Yuan must be arrested as well!"

……

Qingliu Sea, Wuchen Island.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, dyeing the light grey water orange-red, like a fire that is about to go out. A young fisherman in short brown clothes paddles a sampan, his strong arms exposed and covered with sweat, his face full of smiles, singing fishing songs loudly, and slowly sailing towards the port with a full load of catch.

The old wooden paddle cut the orange-red fire into pieces, turning it into thousands of sparks that spread out in all directions.

Behind him, there were hundreds of sampans, which were orderly in chaos and flew towards the embrace of the port like swallows returning to their nests.

But so many sampans are inconspicuous in the port.

Merchant ships are anchored in the harbor, with their masts standing tall and piercing the sky like sharp swords.

Porters in linen clothes were scrambling to load the cargo from the ship, while stewards in silk clothes stood beside them, watching them with dignified expressions.

The port of Wuchen Island is always like this, prosperous, bustling and full of vitality.

The mortals living on the Wuchen Island are happy. The immortals of the Lu family protect this sea area. For hundreds of years, there have been no sea beasts causing trouble, no pirates invading, and even fierce hurricanes will be dispersed by the immortals of the Lu family.

The mortals on the island are grateful to the immortals of the Lu family, just as they hate the mortals of the Lu family.

However, the Lu family monks, who were regarded as immortals by the mortals on Wuchen Island, were in a panic at this moment.

Ten days ago, Jueling Island was closed, and a piece of news quietly spread that the natal lamp of the head of the family, Lu Gui, was extinguished.

The new head of the family, Lu Qing, and elder Lu Haiwei were furious and tried to find out who leaked the news, but in the end nothing was done and they simply gave a light punishment to the monk on duty who was guarding the ancestral temple.

Over the past six hundred years, the Lu family has become more and more prosperous, and the relationships within the family have become more and more complicated, like a messy but dense web.

Any incident can spread throughout the family in the shortest possible time.

Even some well-informed mortals in the tribe heard about this incident and became terrified. They no longer had the heart to do their favorite things of bullying men and women.

Every member of the Lu family knows that Lu Gui is the sky of the Lu family. Now that the sky has collapsed, it is about to fall on them.

The meeting hall of the Lu family was empty. Lu Qing and Lu Haiwei sat opposite each other, not saying a word.

Lu Haiwei's eyes were more cloudy than before, and his skin, which was moist and smooth in the past, had become dry. A patch of age spots had quietly climbed up his cheek. He was hunched over and huddled in the armchair.

His life span is almost over, and in another three to five years, he will be reincarnated.

Lu Qing was dressed in a white shirt, leaning on the armchair, his hands tightly gripping the armrests, his face as gloomy as water.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Sixth Uncle, the news of my uncle's death is now known to everyone in the clan. Although I have issued a strict order, it should spread quickly."

"Then the vast sea area controlled by my Lu family will surely attract others to spy on it. What should I do?"

Lu Haiwei sighed: "The only solution now is to take the initiative to give in."

"I am going to die soon, and you are unable to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage. In a few years, the Lu family will only have one cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, and their strength will be greatly reduced."

"After my eldest brother's death, our relationship with the Zhenhai Sect has also ended. The Zheng Family, the Shi Family, and the Ancient Rhinoceros Sect are all around us. We must at least give up most of the sea areas under our jurisdiction, otherwise we will definitely get into trouble."

Lu Qing showed reluctance, but after a while, he nodded dejectedly: "It can only be like this, it's a pity that uncle failed to form a baby, otherwise my Lu family would definitely dominate the Qingliu Sea!"

Lu Haiwei murmured, "Man proposes, God disposes. My Lu family is just a small family. My eldest brother is a genius. He has cultivated to the peak of Jindan in more than 400 years. His strength is not weaker than those cultivators of the same level in large sects. He can also take care of the development of the family and even fight for two opportunities to form a baby. But he failed at the last moment. It's a pity that he failed at the last moment..."

Lu Qing let out a long breath: "It would be better if my uncle didn't go to Jueling Island. He still has ten years to live. Maybe I can break through the bottleneck in the middle stage. Even if my uncle passes away, I can still support the Lu family."

Lu Haiwei shook his head and said, "You have just reached the peak of the initial stage of cultivation. In just ten years, it is impossible for you to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage. If not, Big Brother would not have bought a Tongtian Order at a high price and entered Jueling Island to find the Lightning Incense."

Lu Qing suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up from the armchair: "Sixth Uncle, I will go into seclusion now. As long as I can break through the bottleneck, I can maintain 80% of the current sea area!"

Lu Hai frowned slightly and said, "The bottleneck of the middle stage is so strong that I have never been able to break through it in my life. If you rush for success and are attacked by the spiritual energy, you may even go astray and become possessed!"

"You are more talented than my elder brother. In just a dozen years, you have already reached the peak of the initial stage of cultivation. There is still hope that you will be able to form a fetus in the future. Don't act rashly and ruin your future."

"It's just a temporary hibernation now. You are the head of the Lu family, so you must endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. When your cultivation level improves in the future, you can take back the sea area. Why rush at this moment?"

Lu Qing sat down dejectedly. He knew that Lu Haiwei was right, but he could not bear to see the powerful Lu family fall in his hands.

The meeting hall fell silent again, and the atmosphere was almost dead.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence in the hall: "Head... Head, there is a senior who claims to be an old friend of the head and is here to visit. This is his visiting card." (End of this chapter)
