I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 369: Red Blood Demon Lord
The teasing voice sounded so abruptly that none of the three people on the battlefield expected it.

Xie Yuan, Mu Chaoyun, and Wu Daoji were all masters above the Heaven and Earth Double Bridge realm. Even though Wu Daoji was in a complicated state, with his extremely high essence of true spirit, his current strength would not be any worse than that of an average high-level master.

However, even so, no one noticed when someone sneaked up to the battlefield.

Xie Yuan looked back and found a man in a red robe standing in the air outside the light shield.

He looked to be about forty years old, and his appearance was not particularly unusual, except that his pair of phoenix eyes looked sharp and intimidating, making anyone who looked at them tremble in their hearts.

However, his hair was loose, unlike most men who tied it up. At this moment, his black hair fluttered in the strong wind, and paired with his blood-red robe and sharp eyes, he exuded an arrogant temperament.

Mu Chaoyun was the closest to him, only a few feet away when he discovered him.

At this moment, when she saw someone appearing inexplicably, her face suddenly changed. She moved her body, but not to attack the enemy, but to instantly retreat a hundred feet away.

The man didn't move at all, as if he hadn't reacted.

He just stared at the two people below, or more precisely, at Wu Daoji, and smiled:
"I didn't expect to meet a senior who lived thousands of years ago. Today is really a double happiness."

He straightened his clothes and bowed slightly:

"Junior Lu Xuefeng, I am honored."

Although he was saluting, his eyes kept looking at Wu Daoji unscrupulously, and he didn't look like he was saluting at all.

Hearing this name, Xie Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

He had heard this name too many times. And among all martial artists in the world, there was probably no one who had not heard of this man.

After all, the name of the Grand Master is well-known everywhere, east, west, south, and north.

Ranked eleventh on the Tianlong Ranking, the Red-Blooded Demon Lord Lu Xuefeng.

Lu Xuefeng is a master of unorthodox ways and a complete heretic, but Chunyu Tower still ranked him on the Tianlong Ranking.

Different from the Hidden Dragon List and the Flying Dragon List, Chunyu Tower has many careful considerations when making the rankings. Unless the evil spirits are too famous, they will generally not be included in the list, so as not to give them morale.

There are only a few grand masters, and any one of them is a true legend. If Chunyu Tower dares not to include them, the list will instantly lose its credibility.

Therefore, on the Tianlong list, the number one is even the leader of the Kitchen God Cult, the mortal enemy of the imperial court, and there are also great masters from the Western Regions and masters of evil ways like Lu Xuefeng among them.

Being on the Hidden Dragon List or the Flying Dragon List might be an honor for warriors, but when it comes to being on the Sky Dragon List, even Chunyu Tower is extremely cautious.

Lu Xuefeng's experience is extremely legendary. He was born in Jinzhou in his early years. He was a weak scholar who devoted himself to studying the words of sages. His lifelong ambition was to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to his family. After ten years of hard study, Lu Xuefeng finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. His articles were also highly appreciated and praised by great scholars, and he became famous for a while.

He thought it was a natural thing for him to continue to take the examination and pass the juren exam, but on the day the results were announced, Lu Xuefeng unexpectedly failed.

Naturally, he was very disappointed and thought that his level was not good enough. Just as he was planning to come again next time, he got some advice from an expert - it turned out that he did not give money to the examiner.

Lu Xuefeng was furious. He had been determined to pass the imperial examination and then govern a region to seek welfare for the local people, but the official who got elected first asked him to give money?
Naturally he refused, and went straight to the provincial government to beat the drum and file a complaint, causing such a big commotion that even the capital heard about it.

The chief examiner was naturally dismissed, but the imperial examination would not be repeated, so Lu Xuefeng had to wait for the next time.

Just when he was preparing for the exam with great confidence, a group of masked men suddenly broke into his house, killed his widowed mother who had raised him with great difficulty and never let him give up on studying, and also killed his childhood sweetheart who was pregnant. However, they did not kill him, but only broke his limbs and then left.

Lu Xuefeng survived by chance, but he became a disabled person, no longer having the opportunity to take the imperial examinations, and even his limbs were damaged, making it difficult for him to make a living, so he had to beg for a living. It was also his fate that he would not die, because when he was begging, he met a martial arts master who saw that although he was disabled in his limbs, he still had an amazing talent for martial arts, so he took him away, carefully recuperated him, and taught him martial arts with all his heart.

With the help of his master's precious medicine, Lu Xuefeng finally recovered from his injuries.

Now he fully displayed his natural talents, and was unstoppable. He soon became the leader among the young disciples in his master's school, even though he was disabled and quite old when he practiced martial arts.

As soon as he learned martial arts, Lu Xuefeng was eager to take revenge. He went back to investigate and found out the whole story without much effort.

A mere examiner would not dare to take bribes in such an important event as the imperial examination. He was just a figure in front of the stage. The real mastermind behind the scenes was the governor of Jinzhou.

If you want to take revenge on such a powerful person, it is almost impossible without the strength of a master. Even if you sacrifice your life to assassinate him, you must be extremely strong in the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, and you must plan carefully.

But Lu Xuefeng's sect was not a big one, and only occasionally produced a master. His master, the head of this generation, was only at the third level of transformation.

However, the sect has a grandmaster's inheritance after all, so Lu Xuefeng returned to the sect and asked his master for the grandmaster's method.

However, his master did not give it to him, but said that he was too obsessed and his skills were not strong enough, so he should not force it. When he calmed his mind and concentrated his energy, put aside his resentment, and devoted himself to martial arts, he would teach him kung fu.

Lu Xuefeng didn't expect that his great benefactor and the master whom he regarded as his second parent would not agree to his small request.

He was furious, thinking that his master had betrayed him and was in cahoots with those corrupt officials, so he took advantage of his master's inattention, ambushed him and killed him, and stole his martial arts skills.

The rest of the story is about the rise of a great master of evil.

He quickly mastered the inheritance of his master, who could only produce a grandmaster by chance, and became a grandmaster himself, even bringing forth new ideas and going a step further.

Afterwards, Lu Xuefeng returned to Jinzhou and wiped out the entire family of the governor who had been promoted and was about to return to the capital to take up his post. In his killing spree, he also wiped out the entire family of the Chief Justice, the Jinzhou Inspector, and the Jinzhou Governor-General overnight.

The entire government office of Jinzhou Prefecture was emptied, and the streets of Jinzhou Prefecture were dyed red with the blood of the masters. The blood on the stone road lasted for ten years.

The emperor was furious and ordered Chunyu Tower to track down Lu Xuefeng. However, no matter what, even several purple-ribbon detectives were dispatched at the same time, they failed to catch Lu Xuefeng.

The emperor later ordered a thorough investigation of the bribery case in the imperial examination, and a group of officials were killed. This was the most famous and most widely implicated Jinzhou imperial examination case in the past few decades of the Dali Dynasty. In fact, Lu Xuefeng's revenge made the court lose face, but they could not find the real culprit, so they could only vent their anger on those idiots who forced a scholar to become a master of evil ways.

Later, Lu Xuefeng hid from place to place, but was finally found by a Purple Ribbon Divine Constable from Chunyu Tower. However, that time, Lu Xuefeng had an opportunity that he didn't know where to get, and he broke through the Grandmaster level in the battle, killed the Purple Ribbon Divine Constable, and left.

After becoming a grandmaster, Lu Xuefeng became a world-renowned figure. He committed several heinous crimes, each time causing blood to flow like a river, and earned the title of Red Blood Demon Lord.

It was not until Yuxu Zhenren of Xuanzhen Sect took action personally and severely injured Lu Xuefeng, who had escaped with all his might, that he disappeared and never dared to be so arrogant again.

This is the first time Lu Xuefeng has appeared in public in many years.

Xie Yuan didn't expect to attract a grandmaster so quickly, but it was Lu Xuefeng who had been in seclusion for a long time, and his face was extremely solemn.

Although he seemed to be more interested in Wu Dao Ji now, Xie Yuan believed that Lu Xuefeng did not come here just for Wu Dao Ji. It was a question whether he knew about Wu Dao Ji's existence in advance.

Moreover, even if Lu Xuefeng was looking for Wu Dao Ji, after seeing me, would he let me go with the Black Book on my body?
Lu Xuefeng has never had a reputation for being merciful, and there are only a handful of people who can survive after meeting him.

Wu Daoji looked at Lu Xuefeng and frowned slightly:

"A thousand years later, there are still many talented people in the world."

"Senior, that's a big reward."

Lu Xuefeng smiled.

"I'm not complimenting you."

Wu Dao said indifferently:

"You dare to set your sights on me, you have lived enough!"

"Hahaha! Senior, you can see everything clearly!"

Hearing this, Lu Xuefeng laughed and gave a thumbs up:

“I have indeed lived enough, so when I see someone like you who hasn’t lived enough, I can’t help but be curious.

"Originally, I came here for this kid Xie Yuan and the Black Heavenly Book, but when I saw a master like you, I felt a sense of admiration and decided to take them both away."

He raised his hand, and Xie Yuan felt a sudden surge of force on the spear that he could not stab, and it even bent.

He was startled, his eyes widened, and he used all his strength to force the spear to stop and wanted to stab back.

Lu Xuefeng frowned slightly, flicked his fingers, and said impatiently:

"I'll ask you to stand aside and not get in the way."

With a bang, a gust of wind shot out and hit the spear, bending it to the extreme. If it weren't for the upgrade of the Hundred Changes Mysterious Weapon, it would have been broken long ago. Xie Yuan wanted to push the spear down, but he couldn't handle the overwhelming force. As soon as he loosened his hand, the bent spear bounced him out!

With a whoosh, Xie Yuan was hurled hundreds of feet away and directly outside the light curtain. He barely managed to stabilize his body and reunited with Mu Chaoyun.

"Just wait there. I'll question you later."

Lu Xuefeng gave the order without even looking at the two of them.

Xie Yuan was shocked and his face became extremely serious.

The grandmaster's every move is so powerful that he can split mountains and cut rivers. His spiritual awareness is extremely strong, but he is powerless against Lu Xuefeng!
His finger was bounced away. Even though Xie Yuan never got discouraged when facing a strong enemy, he didn't know how to fight him at this moment.

He and Mu Chaoyun exchanged a glance and wanted to wait for an opportunity to leave. However, as soon as this thought came up, they found that their feet were entangled by invisible energy, just like being chained, and the other end of the chain was on Lu Xuefeng.

The two of them couldn't stay away from each other, and their hearts sank immediately.

Seeing Xie Yuan wanted to try, Mu Chaoyun shook his head slightly and lip-synced:

"Let me try to crack it."

She lowered her head slightly, feeling the energy chains on her feet, and her mind started working rapidly.

Xie Yuan couldn't act rashly, so he had to trust Mu Chaoyun.

He stood in the air, his mind racing, and he had no good idea for the moment, so he had to fold his hands into his sleeves and count the means he could use.

Unfortunately, no treasures or elixirs can make up for the gap between heaven and earth when facing a grandmaster.

He could only put his hands in his sleeves, and finally felt the hard object in his hands, thinking:

"Will it be used this time? Will it be useful?"

the other side.

Lu Xuefeng put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely in front of Wu Daoji, saying:

"Senior, even if a great master is free from illness and disasters and uses all his strength to prolong his life, it is impossible for him to survive a thousand years. You must have some special method to survive these thousand years. Can you tell me something?"

Wu Daoji said calmly:

"The Black Book I rely on is in Xie Yuan's hands."

"If the Black Book alone is useful, then this fragment of the book is too powerful. There must be other methods, right?"

Lu Xuefeng smiled.

Wu Daoji looked at him and said:
"A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. It's just that I just recovered not long ago, I don't have a suitable body, and I'm being harassed by that kid. Otherwise, even if I only recovered 30% of my strength, a junior like you would be defeated with one finger."

"Hahaha, why are you talking about those trivial things? You haven't recovered yet. Now, I can crush you under the mud with just one finger."

Lu Xuefeng laughed.

Wu Daoji snorted and said coldly:

"You are so arrogant, kid! I taught many young people who were as arrogant as you a lesson, and they all cried and begged for mercy in the end."

"Have they all been killed?"

Lu Xuefeng suddenly asked without any reason.

"If you dare to offend me, you will be punished by death."

Wu Dao is the ultimate Dao.

Lu Xuefeng clapped his hands in praise:
"That's fine, that's fine."

He suddenly snapped his fingers, and the invisible wind from his fingers suddenly penetrated deep into the ground, making a loud bang and blew up the earth waves dozens of feet.

Wu Daoji groaned, his face turned pale, and he looked at Lu Xuefeng with a serious look.

Lu Xuefeng withdrew his hand with a smile:
"Senior, please put away this little trick. I have some experience in spiritual awareness."

"You enter the Tao through spiritual consciousness."

Wu Daoji said with a slightly serious look in his eyes.

Lu Xuefeng looked admiring:
"Senior, you have a keen eye! That's right. So it doesn't matter whether you want to talk or not. I'll take you all back. I won't bother you to ask for what I want to know."

Wu Daoji was silent for a moment, then he uttered a sigh and said:

"Living a thousand years longer is already a blessing. But if I had known this, maybe I shouldn't have hidden myself back then.

"Young man, no, young people... you are awesome. But are you satisfied with this ending?
"I will go ahead, you can only wish for the best."

After Wu Daoji finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head, his eyes dimmed instantly, and his body fell down.

Lu Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, grabbed it, took a look, and his face changed slightly.

This old bastard actually destroyed his own true spirit?

As expected of a great master from a thousand years ago, he committed suicide so cleanly and with such a clever method that he couldn't stop it.

Lu Xuefeng looked gloomy.

The old ghost is too stubborn. He would rather die than fall into his hands. This is wise of him.

But Lu Xuefeng lost the opportunity to obtain various skills, unique techniques and secrets from the top grandmaster of the thousand years, and his mood instantly became extremely bad.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan and the other man who were still ready to make a move in the distance, which immediately froze them.

Lu Xuefeng raised the corners of his mouth without any emotion:
"Want to escape? Fine, let me see what other tricks you have."

Chen County is the ancestral home of the Xie clan.

"Mother!"

Xie Lingyun's voice arrived before her:

"It's all going crazy out there! They say that guy has the Black Book, and that he's killing people everywhere! How is that possible! Although he's decisive, he's actually not hard-hearted. He doesn't necessarily kill bad people indiscriminately, and he definitely won't implicate innocent people! How could he possibly kill an entire family?

"Mother, someone must have harmed him! There are so many people in the world who are trying to take action against him. Chunyu Tower even asked us to give an explanation, and asked the nearby Gubei Yuan and Taiyuan Li to send people to capture him! Mother, what can we do? We have to help him!

"mother--"

Xie Lingyun's hurried voice stopped abruptly at the door.

She stared at the scene inside with wide eyes, a dazed look on her face.

In the main hall, there was a sumptuous meal on the eight-immortal table. As soon as one could see that the food was much better than what was usually prepared in the kitchen, one could tell that Cui Pingjun had cooked it herself.

Cui Pingjun had a gentle look on her face, with a smile that had not been seen for a long time, and was adding food to the person sitting next to her.

In addition to Cui Pingjun, there was also a handsome man sitting at the table.

He looked towards the door and smiled:

"Lingyun'er, you little monkey, jumping around again, you came at the right time. Come and have dinner! Your mother prepared a big feast, and your father was just calling you."
