Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 606 Catching a Fortune Takes Skill Too (Bonus Chapter, Two Chapters Combined)

In the imperial palace of the Ox Immortal Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the people of Baiyujing have discovered the Nanming Li Fire and are currently lying in wait at Black Dragon Mountain, intending to kill the remaining two demonic cultivators as well."

An old eunuch was speaking.

"Okay, I understand."

The Holy Emperor of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty waved his hand, a gloomy look flashing in his eyes.

At this time-

A figure suddenly appeared in the palace; he was an old man who looked so old that he was almost decaying.

The old man chuckled cacklingly: "What?"

"Regret it?"

The Holy Emperor of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty said expressionlessly, "When have I ever regretted my actions?"

"That's good."

The old man chuckled a few more times: "If you could join my Myriad Laws Hall Demonic Sect, you would definitely have a bright future. You're ruthless enough, I like that."

Of course it's ruthless.

He even killed his own grandfather; how could he not be ruthless?

To be precise, this Ox Immortal Chao Gao family was riddled with bad blood.

The grandfather wanted to eat his grandson, so the grandson killed his grandfather.

What a loving and filial father-son relationship the Ox Immortal Dynasty is like!

Gao Peng, the Immortal Ox, said: "Senior, if the Southern Bright Fire is obtained by Bai Yujing, it will be impossible to take it back. Please take action now."

The old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws chuckled coldly: "Boy, you're trying to use someone else to do your dirty work, using me to get rid of those little brats from Bai Yujing for you."

Gao Peng's expression remained unchanged: "Yes."

"At that time, I will surely use my fortune to make offerings to Elder Peng."

Hear the words.

The old man in the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws smiled even more broadly.

Gao Peng was referring to Elder Peng, not the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, which pleased him greatly.

Because his surname is Peng, and he is also an elder.

The person being worshipped is, of course, him.

He essentially received the legacy of that celestial ancestor for free, so he was naturally happy to lend a hand.

'He's a smart child, it's just a pity he was born in the wrong place.'

'If I could become a demonic cultivator in the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, I'd definitely have a bright future.'

That's what the old man thought too.

Of course, they wouldn't actually extradite this Holy Emperor of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty to the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws.

He chuckled and said, "Alright, then I'll go take a look."

Say it.

The old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws took a step forward and then disappeared.

At the summit of Heilong Mountain.

"coming!"

Chu Hu Niu's eyes widened as he stared at the two black dots flying towards them. They were the two Wanfa Hall demonic cultivators who had not yet been eliminated outside.

As long as these two are killed.

The demonic chaos in the Guniu Immortal Dynasty was thus completely quelled.

He tried hard to suppress his excitement.

He waited until the two demonic cultivators appeared before him before letting out a roar and charging out first.

Two enormous divine hammers slammed down on the two men.

at the same time.

Several more beams of divine light followed.

For a moment, both demonic cultivators were dumbfounded.

They came to ambush and kill Qingluan, but now they themselves have become the targets of the ambush.

The war is about to start.

The two demonic cultivators fought back desperately.

However, the opposing side had a large number of people and a peak Dao Body cultivator like Fairy Qingluan. In just a short while, most of the protective magic treasures were destroyed.

Just when both of them were in despair and were considering whether to abandon their physical bodies and let the spirit embryo escape.

suddenly!

An immense pressure descended from the horizon, like a silver river spilling onto the earth.

Sensing that terrifying aura, Chu Hu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "It's the Celestial Realm?!"

The words have not yet fallen.

An old man appeared out of nowhere.

He chuckled strangely at the group, "You're all good kids. How about you join my soul banner?"

All that could be seen was a white banner held in the old man's hand.

It is the infamous Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

See this scene.

Chu Hu and Du Ming both changed their expressions drastically.

How could a demonic cultivator at the Celestial Realm possibly withstand this?

Under the terrifying pressure, their bodies trembled, and they were powerless to resist.

The only two who could remain calm were Fairy Qingluan and Li Rui.

Li Rui glanced at the Azure Phoenix Fairy beside him.

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"He really is a madman."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

Just as the smile appeared, he heard the old man opposite him sneer: "Wait until I take out your spiritual embryo, then let's see how you'll still be smiling!"

Say it.

A black wind raged.

The old man showed no awareness of bullying the young and immediately attacked with all his might, displaying the true ruthlessness of an old demon, giving no chance whatsoever.

A blood-red skeleton suddenly appeared, its gaping maw seemingly ready to devour everyone.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy had already gripped her sword, and for the first time, her pretty face showed a hint of seriousness.

That's the Celestial Realm.

Moreover, this old demon had no intention of testing them at all; this attack was intended to take their lives directly!

But just before the blood-red skeleton was about to fall—

A figure appeared before the crowd, and a large hand grabbed the Blood Shadow Skeleton.

Then crush it!

"What an imposing physique!"

Upon seeing this, the old man's eyelids twitched.

"High above all under heaven, China is of paramount importance."

The two deputy city lords of Shenxiao City have gathered together!

Upon seeing the two appear, the elder of the Myriad Laws Hall was filled with apprehension.

Especially Gao Tianxia.

This is the person who just crushed the Blood Shadow Skull.

Clearly, the fact that these two appeared so coincidentally meant that they had been hiding in the shadows watching everything, just waiting for him to make his move.

Chonghua looked at the old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws and sneered, "Who do we have here? It's just that old dog Peng from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws."

The old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws looked extremely grim.

Two against one.

Another is to prove the Way through force.

Without a doubt, the fire in Nanming today has absolutely nothing to do with him.

No hesitation.

The old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws stirred up a gust of wind, and wrapped in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, he soared into the sky.

Gao Tianxia and Chonghua transformed into divine rainbows and chased after them.

soon.

Only Li Rui and a few others remained on the summit of Black Dragon Mountain, along with the two demonic cultivator corpses that Chonghua had casually killed.

"This is."

Tan Yu and the others stared at the scene before them, completely bewildered as to what had just happened.

Master Chang Geng gave a wry smile.

How could he not see it now?

In this incident involving the Guniu Immortal Dynasty, they were clearly the bait, and the old man from the Myriad Laws Hall was the big fish.

Gao Tianxia and Chonghua were fishermen.

Do not!
It should be Lord Yu of Shenxiao City who is fishing.

Just when everyone thought the matter was resolved—

Mutations reborn!

A ball of blazing flame rose from Li Rui's palm and shot out, engulfing the people nearby.

It was none other than Du Ming and Chu Hu.

The thing that trapped the two was none other than the Southern Ming Fire!
Chu Hu, Du Ming, and even Fairy Qingluan never expected that Li Rui would be able to initially refine the Nanming Fire in just one hour!

It can already be used to kill enemies.

Although the two Dao Body Realm cultivators were not directly refined, they were completely sealed away.

Everything happened so suddenly.

They were clearly allies just a moment ago, but now Li Rui has made a ruthless move.

The group of Master Chang Geng were stunned by Li Rui's thunderous method of instantly suppressing the two Dao bodies, and for a moment they did not know what had happened.

Li Rui, however, simply gazed coldly at one spot:
"Emperor Gao, have you had enough of the show?"

The Holy Emperor?!
Upon hearing this, Tan Yu and the others looked around, but still could not find the Holy Emperor.

Suddenly.

The space fluctuated.

Then a dashing man in a black robe with gold dragon patterns stepped out.

It was none other than the Ox Immortal paying homage to the Holy Emperor, Gao Peng!
"Your Majesty?!" Upon seeing the Holy Emperor appear, Du Ming and Chu Hu's expressions changed, but they were not surprised; instead, they displayed an indescribable complexity.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Peng: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Such a scene.

Fairy Qingluan and True Man Chang Geng aren't fools; the problem lies with this Holy Emperor of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty!

From a standpoint.

They will also stand on Li Rui's side without hesitation.

Unknowingly.

The three of them had already formed a pincer movement around the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor placed his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

But it is precisely because of this calm that it is even more abnormal.

For a while.

An eerie stillness descended upon the summit of Black Dragon Mountain.

finally--

The Holy Emperor spoke, but his words were astonishing: "The Ox Immortal Gao Peng has come to apologize!"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of Master Chang Geng and the others became even more solemn.

There is indeed a ghost!

Li Rui's lips curled up slightly.

Even now, how could he not see the clues?

In fact, this Holy Emperor did a very good job, but unfortunately, no matter how much he planned, he could not escape the schemes of those old monsters in Baiyujing.

He was able to detect the clues; it was actually those old monsters who had revealed their presence.

To be precise, it was Jiang Linxian who revealed a trace of cause and effect.

He came to the God of the Ox Immortal Dynasty.

Then Jiang Yan and Fairy Qingluan also arrived at the Guniu Immortal Dynasty.

Is this a coincidence?

Of course not.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy cultivates the Way of Fire. She had just arrived at the Ox Immortal Dynasty when she broke into the Southern Bright Fire.

skillful.

What a coincidence!

With so many coincidences combined, it can no longer be a coincidence.

Instead, someone was secretly orchestrating this.

So while waiting for the two demonic cultivators at Black Dragon Mountain, he had already used runes to create soldiers from beans and sent his clones to the palace to monitor them. He personally witnessed the old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws walk out of the palace.

Up to now.

While the details are still uncertain, one thing is certain.

This Holy Emperor of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty wasn't borrowing the sword from the Myriad Laws Hall; he clearly wanted to use it to sever the karmic ties between the Guniu Immortal Dynasty and the Myriad Laws Hall.

in this way.

The Ox Immortal Dynasty could then act as if nothing had happened and remain a vassal state of the Jade Capital.

That's a really clever scheme.

Unfortunately, despite all their scheming, they failed to anticipate that the Guniu Immortal Dynasty had already caught the eye of Yu Yan, the city lord of Shenxiao City.

Do not!
The scheme against the Guniu Immortal Dynasty was most likely carried out by those old monsters in Baiyujing; Yu Yan was merely an executor.

The advisors, Gao Tianxia and Chonghua, were also executors.

Li Rui was one of them, of course.

They were all just pawns of those old monsters.

Li Rui and Gao Tianxia shared the same boxing intent, and Li Rui had actually noticed long ago that the advisor had also come to the Guniu Immortal Dynasty.

That's why he was so confident when the old man from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws made his move.

Emperor Gao Peng of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty continued calmly, "I am willing to relinquish the throne, and the Guniu Immortal Dynasty will be merged into the Dayu Immortal Dynasty. I beg Bai Yujing to forgive the Guniu Immortal Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out.

Master Chang Geng and the others were all taken aback.

What a spirit!
Gao Peng was clearly cutting off an arm to save himself, but the price was too high. In just a few breaths, Gao Peng abandoned his ancestors' legacy.

He is a ruthless person.

Gao Peng was well aware that although he did not intend to betray them.

If the alliance with the Myriad Laws Sect goes undiscovered, all will be well. But once the people of Baiyujing find out, no matter how you look at it, the crime of treason will be confirmed.

The Cow Immortal Dynasty is far too insignificant compared to the colossal Baiyujing.

The only smart thing to do is to admit your guilt and show an attitude of remorse and repentance.

At this time.

All eyes were on Li Rui.

Among the people on Black Dragon Mountain, only Li Rui is Bai Yujing's core disciple, and only his words can represent Bai Yujing.

In full view.

Li Rui said coldly, "Once I kill you, the Guniu Immortal Dynasty can still be incorporated into the Great Yu Dynasty."

Gao Peng sighed softly: "My ancestors passed down a fire-controlling supernatural power. I am willing to offer this power, hoping that Elder Li will preserve my lineage."

Supernatural!
When I heard those two words.

Everyone present changed color.

Not all techniques can be called supernatural powers. Even the Immortal Chang Geng never possessed a single supernatural power, which shows how precious they are.

Li Rui's lips curled up slightly, and he agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

The words have not yet fallen.

Gao Peng decisively forced out seven drops of essence blood from between his eyebrows, his face instantly turning pale: "Using this blood as a medium, one can cultivate supernatural powers."

Seven drops of blood fell into Li Rui's hand.

Li Rui smiled more and said calmly, "Alright, kill yourself."

Say it.

Emperor Gao Peng actually sat down cross-legged, and soon, countless strands of energy emanated from his body.

This is precisely the sign of military disintegration.

"His Majesty!"

Upon seeing this scene, both Chu Hu and Du Ming let out a cry of grief.

But because they were blocked by the fire of the Southern Ming, they were all in a precarious situation and could not even protect themselves. What could they do?

About an incense stick's time later.

Emperor Gao Peng then completely transformed into a phantom and disappeared into the world.

The reign of a great emperor has come to an end.

Also at this time.

Gao Tianxia and Chonghua returned to the summit of Black Dragon Mountain.

Chonghua merely glanced at the spot where the Holy Emperor Gao Peng had disintegrated, and snorted coldly, "He does know what's good for him."

Not bad.

Even without Li Rui and the others, he would have still killed Gao Peng.

Anyone who dares to collude with the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws deserves to be killed, no matter the reason!

Everyone has their own difficulties.

If everyone were to secretly communicate with those demonic cultivators in the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, Baiyujing would have been in complete chaos long ago.

Therefore, regarding this matter...

He never tolerates anything.

"Master."

Li Rui decisively gave the remaining seven drops of Nanming Li Huo's essence blood to his advisor, Gao Tianxia.

Gao Tiancai had just taken it.

Right before everyone's eyes, he gave Li Rui a wisp of the essence of the Southern Ming Fire and a drop of his blood essence.

What's even more surprising is...

Gao Tianxia then gave two strands of divine fire essence and two drops of blood essence to Fairy Qingluan.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy bowed and said, "Thank you, senior."

Master Chang Geng, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

That's a powerful artifact that can help someone break through to the Celestial Realm!

However, he glanced at his eldest brother Chonghua out of the corner of his eye and knew that he definitely wouldn't get a share.

Chonghua had anticipated this.

joke.

Li Rui and Fairy Qingluan were able to take it because it was the will of a True Lord of Baiyujing; how could he dare to disobey?

Looking at the Nanming Fire Origin and the supernatural essence blood given to him by his advisor.

Li Rui became even more certain.

Whether he comes to the Ox Immortal Dynasty or not, Gao Peng will definitely die; the only difference is these fates.

Said without politeness.

This is the good fortune that Jiang Linxian bestowed upon him and Jiang Yan.

"It's good to have a big tree to lean on."

Li Rui smiled.

Unbeknownst to me, I had become someone who had once despised people through connections.

This feels great.

of course.

It would be a grave mistake to think that anyone can obtain such good fortune.

It was Li Rui's ability to suppress the Southern Ming Fire and see through Gao Peng's scheme that earned him this merit, thus rightfully granting him this good fortune.

After all.

No matter how great one's destiny may be, one must be able to handle it.

Some people always complain about bad luck, but it's not that they're unlucky. It's that when opportunities come their way, they fail to seize them, and even if they do, they won't get to enjoy the blessings bestowed upon them by the gods.

Therefore, being able to seize opportunities is also a skill.
