Fire Monster

Chapter 349 Taking Over Linjiang Prefecture

In Linjiang Prefecture, Yang Mao squatted at the top of the seven-story spirit-offering tower with a complicated expression, like a monkey without hair.

Even half a day ago, he was not allowed to set foot in this sacred and mysterious place, let alone squatting here in a disrespectful manner like he was doing now.

You should know that the Taoist palace is right below!
A place that countless mortals need to look up to, no, not even worthy of looking up to.

Even the governor and the masters of the Demon-Suppression Department are not qualified.

Okay, it's okay now!
Suddenly, with just one word from Lu Tiancheng, this place belonged to mortals.

However, this old man is not completely unreliable. He did not hand over this seven-level spirit-worshiping tower and Lihuo Taoist Palace to the Demon-Suppression Bureau.

Instead, it was handed over to him and a dozen of the strongest mechanical warriors including Wang Chen.

"Although we are gone, I believe that one day, your good friend Zhao Guanshan will come back."

"I am no longer interested in knowing what kind of person he is, but I have to be responsible for the millions of mortals in Linjiang Prefecture."

"It will take decades or even hundreds of years to merge with the Zhenhai Dao Palace."

"So please keep an eye on this Level 7 Spiritual Offering Tower. If anything goes wrong, this will be the basis for your resistance."

"It's not that I don't trust the mortal government, but the government is also made up of individuals. If there is a problem in any link, it will easily lead to a disaster."

"So, thank you for your hard work!"

Lu Tiancheng left, and his words before leaving were still echoing in Yang Mao's ears. At this moment, he actually felt a little heavy in his heart.

"To be honest, Old Man Lu is not a bad guy. He has made great contributions to the development of Linjiang Prefecture in recent years. But now that he is gone, I feel empty inside. I feel like he will never come back."

"Old Wang, do you think these 3,000 people of mine were cheated? It would be terrible if they were cheated of their money, but it would be terrible if they were cheated of their lives! There are so many beautiful fairies in there, it makes me sad."

"Stop talking nonsense! He is a ninth-level Qi Refiner, an immortal who has lived for more than 1,200 years. The roads he has walked and the rice he has eaten are not comparable to yours. You are being deceived. They will not!"

Wang Chen spat casually, but his eyes wandered around the square below, and it was unclear what he was looking at.

"You are wrong, aren't you the one who has walked across the bridge and eaten the salt? What are you looking at?"

"I've been waiting for Boss Liu and Military Supervisor Xiao for almost thirty years. It's as if they have disappeared without a trace, and have completely changed their identities. I'm really worried that they won't be able to resist the temptation and will go to Floating Cloud Palace as well."

"No! You are tempted, they won't! How can I not believe their vision?"

Yang Mao scoffed at this.

Wang Chen chuckled and didn't say anything, still looking out and observing.

The departure of the Qi Refiner did not cause much waves among mortals.

However, in recent years, the thousands of low-level Qi Refiners who were recruited and trained by Lu Tiancheng have suffered a miserable fate.

Not only was his master gone all of a sudden, but even the Lihuo Taoist Palace was gone.

This group of people are now making a fuss under the spirit tower.

It is very strange that they insist on demanding an explanation or resorting to sit-in protest.

Unfortunately, what's the use of protesting? Fuyun Taoist Palace doesn't want Qi Refiners of level three or below.

But Lu Tiancheng and his gang had already boarded the ship very quickly and disappeared long ago.

So you're protesting with us?

Hahaha!
"Wait, there are some who haven't left yet."

Wang Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd who was not very sociable. Although he also looked angry and indignant, and was quite serious about it, Wang Chen recognized him.

And they fought side by side in a sudden battle a few years ago.

Well, I don't know what level of Qi Refiner he is, but he is at least level five. He used to sell steamed dumplings. He looks quite wretched, but he is very decisive when something happens.

Wait, what's this guy's name?

It seems that he has several names. Lu Tiancheng calls him Ma Daoyou, and his wife calls him Lao Wangtou.

He calls himself the Taoist Wanshi, and he is a very special Qigong practitioner.

After thinking about it, Wang Chen ignored him.

This guy is neurotic. If you can't figure him out, just ignore him.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Chen suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up with excitement, unable to even speak.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yangmao! Mao! Look! Look!"

Wang Chen jumped up and down, looking more like a monkey than Yang Mao.

Yang Mao looked in the direction Wang Chen pointed and was also stunned because he saw a very familiar person: Xiao Chengyun!
Military Supervisor Xiao!
But Liu Yuwei was not there.

But this doesn't seem to matter.

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun came calmly with a composed look. He glanced at the low-level Qi-refining practitioners who were sitting there in protest, as if he wanted to laugh, and then went straight to the top of the Spirit Offering Tower.

Even though it was tens of thousands of feet away, it was as if it had locked onto Wang Chen and Yang Mao directly.

"Brother, I have a feeling that Master Xiao Zhao is coming back! Our hard days are about to end!"

Wang Chen shouted excitedly and hurried forward to greet him. Yang Mao followed closely behind him, as did several other mechanical warriors.

However, the stubborn Taoist Old Wang was one step ahead of them and stopped Xiao Chengyun.

And he actually recognized her.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, the last time we met was thirty years ago. I wonder if you still remember me?"

"Of course I remember. I didn't expect that Senior didn't leave. Fortunately! But it's a pity that I seem to be a step too late."

Xiao Chengyun nodded and clasped his fists, somewhat surprised.

She recognized this person, a high-ranking official of the Taoist Palace, a seventh-level Qi Refiner, except that he had a strange temperament.

"Huh? Could it be that Daoist Brother Xiao Zhao has a letter? Unfortunately, I am still a step too late."

Taoist Wanshi blinked his eyes, revealing a hint of shrewdness. He was naturally looking forward to going to the Floating Clouds Taoist Palace. The Floating Clouds Taoist Palace was almost equivalent to a holy land for Qi Refiners, and it was the purest birthplace of the five Taoist traditions.

However, he believed in Fuyun Taoist Palace and also believed in Su Changan, who was willing to take out the Lihuo Key and swear on the Taoist tradition.

After all, this is tantamount to guaranteeing his future.

However, the timing of the appearance of the people from Fuyun Taoist Palace was too strange.

It unexpectedly appeared together with Zhenhai Dao Palace.

He doesn't have any talent and has always been cautious throughout his life.

So he endured the huge temptation and endured it until now, and only when he saw Xiao Chengyun did he feel relieved.

No matter how good the Fuyun Taoist Palace is, it is too far away.

The remnant of the Zhao family, oh no, although Brother Daoist Zhao is not as good as the Fuyun Taoist Palace, the problem is right in front of us!
At this time, Xiao Chengyun nodded, "Daoyou Zhao Chengfeng did receive urgent news, and he suggested not to get on board!"

"But the Floating Cloud Palace is fake?"

Taoist Wanshi was extremely surprised!

I feel so disappointed!

"I don't know. Fellow Daoist Chengfeng didn't say."

Xiao Chengyun shook her head. She had chosen to lie dormant and wait all these years because she had complete trust in Zhao Guanshan, including this sudden and nonsensical sentence.

No one knew where he was or what he was doing, but it didn't matter.

Including this time he suddenly said he wanted to change his name.

"I understand. Does Brother Xiao Zhao have any other instructions?"

"Yes! That is, no matter what, we must defend Linjiang Mansion. At the very least, we must defend this Level 7 Spiritual Offering Tower. Senior, are you willing to help me?"

Xiao Chengyun said solemnly.

"Don't worry! There will be absolutely no problem. Although Fuyun Dao Palace has deceived most of the Qi Refiners, they don't know that the strongest in Linjiang Prefecture right now is actually a mechanical martial artist based on the Lihuo Daoism!"

Taoist Wanshi laughed. One of the reasons he felt was inappropriate before was that the Floating Cloud Taoist Palace actually ignored the mechanical martial artist.

How ridiculous!
How arrogant!

In fact, Taoist Wanshi even felt that those Qi-refining practitioners who still had all kinds of arrogance and prejudice could just leave.

Over the past few years, even Lu Tiancheng, who valued the senior mechanical warriors very much, did not actually give them real attention.

There is no place for mechanical warriors in the newly built Lihuo Taoist Palace.

Is this appropriate?

This is inappropriate!
On the contrary, Taoist Wanshi himself, when he had nothing to do, also practiced a sealed fighter plane, making himself an unregistered mechanical martial artist.

Only you know how delicious this process is!
Those who say that mechanical warriors can only be used by mortals have no future.

He could only laugh!
