I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals
#467 - To use a trick to fool someone
One year later.
Lu Changan is 526 years old and has been back in the Abyss for thirteen years.
"Master Xiang! The battle on the front lines is fierce. The royal family has sent an urgent secret letter, hoping that Master Xiang will go to the battle."
Inside the cave abode at Yunlan Peak, the Snow Peak Sect Master, with snow-white hair and a white robe, bowed and reported, his tone revealing a tragic and heroic tone.
“Don’t worry!”
Lu Changan sat on the Diaoyutai and said leisurely:
"The old patriarch with the highest cultivation level in the royal family has not much time left, so they are the ones who should be anxious. Now is the brief heyday of Dayu Kingdom, and the three middle-stage Yuanying combat forces are clearly there, and they must swallow up Daluo Kingdom."
Right now, Daewoo's campaign has reached a stalemate and is progressing slowly. Lu Changan is certain that it is far from the final moment.
At least, the royal family's trump card and powerful means have never been used.
The concern of the Daewoo royal family is that they don't want to pay too high a price and end up with a tragic victory.
If you want to preserve more energy, it would be best if your allies and domestic forces could contribute more and consume more energy with the enemy.
The Xuefeng Sect Master naturally understood the logic behind this.
He continued to report:
"Recently, our sect's Grand Elder fought with the evil Yuanying of Mount Yaqi and was seriously injured."
"The royal family suggested that the Grand Elder return to the sect to recuperate. Perhaps Master Xiang can... take over for a while."
The leader of Xuefeng Sect looked embarrassed and said stubbornly.
Of the two Nascent Soul cultivators of Yunxia Sect, Xiang Dalong, who is more powerful and more famous, has been practicing in seclusion and did not participate in the battle.
Instead, it was Fairy Zixia, a female Yuanying, who fought on the front lines, leading her disciples to shed blood and sweat.
Many cultivators within the Yunxia Sect had complaints about this.
There are many rumors in Daewoo, implying that Xiang Dalong is a coward and that he was once one of the Twin Dragons but only has a false reputation.
Especially recently, Fairy Zixia was injured on the front line, and this feeling of dissatisfaction has become increasingly obvious within the Yunxia Sect.
Even Tianyuan Sword Lord Yu Yuanjin, who had a good relationship with him, couldn't stand it anymore.
Yu Yuanjin is already a giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he is resisting the harassment of Yaqishan in the western border of Dayu Kingdom.
Yu Yuanjin frankly expressed his disappointment with Xiang Dalong, believing that the latter hid behind women and lacked the courage and determination to make progress.
"When I reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage and my magical powers are fully developed, I will take action!"
Lu Changan said without hesitation.
"I already know about Zi Yan's injury, and it's not too serious. Moreover, while she was injured, she also defeated an evil Yuanying from Yaqi Mountain, making a great contribution to our sect."
"Under the leadership of the Grand Elder, our disciples fought bravely and exchanged a lot of their military merits for strategic resources. I believe that it won't be long before our sect's fourth-level spiritual veins can be upgraded to the fourth-level mid-grade, which can be regarded as a restoration of our ancestors' sect!"
Xuefeng Sect Master: ...
In fact, during his retreat, Lu Changan would sometimes go to the front line secretly to communicate with Jiang Ziyan and Qu You.
After all, Xiang Dalong possesses the combat power of a mid-Nascent Soul stage. Once he goes to the front line, he can share more pressure for the Dayu royal family.
…
"Anything else to report?"
Lu Changan looked at the Xuefeng Sect Master who was standing there in silence.
The Xuefeng Sect Master regained his composure and said respectfully:
"There is another matter, which is related to the lineage of Master Le of the Dan Dao League."
After that, he presented a letter.
"Master Le? I heard that this alchemy master passed away many years ago?"
Lu Changan opened the letter and asked casually.
In his early years in Dayuan, Lu Changan asked Master Le to refine the Infant Transformation Pill and the Fourth-Level Longevity Pill, and he owed the other party a favor.
"That's right. Master Le had already passed away before Master Xiang came back."
Xuefeng Sect Master hesitated for a moment, and added:
"In recent years, the descendants of Master Le have not had a good life. It is said that there is an old monster in the Alchemy Alliance who is eyeing the legacy and alchemy inheritance left by Master Le..."
"Um."
Lu Changan nodded, and after reading the contents of the letter, his brows gradually furrowed.
He looked angry and shouted:
"How can this be possible!"
The letter was signed by "Le Qing Ni", who was Master Le's most beloved granddaughter during his lifetime.
In the past, Lu Changan and Yue Qingni had met several times. It was this woman who received him when the Dandao League first asked Master Le to make the elixir.
Later, when Lu Chang'an was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Yue Qingni and her Taoist companion Chu Yang came to Yunxia Sect to observe how he could transcend the tribulation.
Chu Yang is Master Le's favorite disciple and an alchemy genius. He has reached the peak of the Jindan stage and his alchemy skills have reached the fourth level.
Chu Yang and Yue Qingni got married and inherited Master Le's alchemy heritage and most of his property.
Before his death, Master Le asked some old friends to look after the couple and gave them gifts generously.
Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged.
Master Le hopes that his disciple and granddaughter will support each other, and that one of them will be in the Nascent Soul stage in the future so that they can gain a foothold in the Central Region.
Twenty years ago, Chu Yang refined a Transformation Pill.
In order to avoid any further complications, Chu Yang immediately attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage, but ended up falling under a heavenly thunderbolt.
Yue Qing Ni unfortunately became a widow!
When her husband was alive, the two of them worked together, and with the help of Master Le's connections and influence during his lifetime, they were able to block the prying eyes of the outside world.
After Chu Yang's death, Yue Qingni was left alone in the Dan Dao League.
But this woman is very beautiful, as cool and elegant as a fairy, and she also possesses part of Master Le's inheritance, as well as a unique alchemy tradition.
Such a popular commodity naturally attracted the attention of the Yuanying old monster from the Dan League.
What made Fairy Le even more heartbroken was that the old Yuanying monster who was greedy for her was actually a good friend of Master Le during his lifetime, named "Lian Ding Zhenjun".
This old monster was an expert in both refining weapons and making elixirs, and he admired Master Le's alchemy skills very much during his lifetime.
Fairy Le suspected that her husband's death from the thunderbolt might have been caused by the "Lord Lian Ding" because the treasure Chu Yang used to resist the thunderbolt had been strengthened and refined by the other party.
As a result, when Chu Yang was going through the thunder tribulation, the thunder-transforming treasure he used broke at the critical moment.
Restricted by the rules of the Dandao League and the checks and balances of a group of Yuanying Zhenjun and alchemy masters, Lianding Zhenjun could not take forceful action.
Lord Lianding forced Fairy Le to marry his disciple so that he could legitimately take over the interests.
Fairy Le felt a disgusting filthiness from Lord Lianding's concealed gaze, and was afraid that it was not as simple as marrying the other party's disciple.
After all, the old weird disciple who was going to marry her was the most honest and dull one among them.
Le Qingni, who was far away in the Dandao League, heard the news of Xiang Zhenjun's return in recent years, and couldn't help but rekindle a glimmer of hope.
However, she was under strict surveillance by the sect where Master Lian Ding was located. She did not dare to leave the temple easily, and it was difficult for her to send messages.
In order to lower the vigilance of Master Lian Ding, she pretended to agree to the engagement and delayed the time. When the other party relaxed, she asked Master Le's secret servant to send a letter for help to Dayu Kingdom and Yunxia Sect.
…
"Master Xiang, the Dan Dao Alliance is the largest neutral alchemy alliance in the Central Region, and its influence is not limited to the Central Region. Now that Dayu is at war, it may not be appropriate for the Grand Elder to fight on the front line..."
The leader of Xuefeng Sect looked at Lu Changan's expression and said cautiously.
Lu Changan's expression gradually calmed down. After a brief calculation, he ordered:
"Immediately issue a condemnation to the 'Master Lian Ding' of the Dan Dao League and express our strong dissatisfaction!"
"How dare Master Lian Ding bully Fairy Le, Yunxia Sect... No, even though Dayu is far away, he must be punished!"
"Yes, Lord Xiang!"
"Disciple, make arrangements as soon as possible and pass on the True Lord's warning to the Dan Dao League!"
Upon hearing Xiang Zhenjun's instructions, the leader of Xuefeng Sect breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
In the opinion of the leader of Xuefeng Sect, it is only natural for Xiang Zhenjun not to help.
Lu Changan and Master Le had only an average relationship during their lifetime, and the latter's older friends, who were more intimate with him, either stood aside or took advantage of the latter's misfortune.
Secondly, Lu Changan owed a favor to Master Le, who had been dragging it on during his lifetime, and had wasted a lot of favor by borrowing the former's reputation for a long time.
Lu Chang'an did not add insult to injury. Even if it was just a verbal condemnation and warning, it could support Fairy Le to a certain extent and make the Yuanying monster who had ulterior motives feel fearful.
That is to say, the two dragons in the Central Region disappeared for too long, and their deterrent power was greatly reduced, so the Yunxia Sect was caught up in the war in Dayu again.
Otherwise, Lord Xiang back then could have shocked the old Nascent Soul with just a few words from a distance and made him give up the idea immediately.
It remains unknown whether today's warnings and condemnations will actually be effective.
…
A few days later.
A man in a white robe quietly left the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, and his presence was very low.
The man in white robe flew thousands of miles away and in an uninhabited corner, he turned into a green light and entered the Jiugang Heaven above the clouds.
at the same time.
In a dense forest at the junction of Yunxia Sect and Dashe Mountain.
“It’s moving!”
The deep voice came from a sturdy man in a bamboo hat.
The man has thick hair, a big nose, and sharp eyes like an eagle, looking into the distance.
There were a few flying insects floating on the palm of the man in the bamboo hat; a strange two-headed dog was lying at his feet, sticking out its tongue lazily.
In the farther sky, there are many flying insects and birds, which establish mysterious communication channels and establish a distant connection with the man in the bamboo hat.
"Xiang Dalong actually went out?"
Master Mingshui, who was wearing a veiled hat and a black dress, expressed a hint of surprise in his tone.
According to their observation, Xiang Dalong had been hiding in the gate of Yunxia Sect, allowing Nuzhenjun to go to the front line to fight, and was ridiculed by many high-level cultivators.
Master Mingshui once suspected that Xiang Dalong refused to go out because he was on guard against him.
"I didn't expect that guy to be a man who kept his promises. He is better than many of his peers in the world of immortal cultivation."
The grey-haired chief elder of the Kurosawa clan chuckled softly.
He has a feminine face, long and pointed ears, and fair and translucent skin. He looks extremely young, only in his twenties.
Taking advantage of Fairy Le's request for help, the two middle-Nascent Soul cultivators of the Hei Ze Sect did not hold out much hope against Xiang Dalong, it was just a casual move.
Another idea is to target Fairy Zixia and lure Xiang Dalong to rescue her.
However, the Yuanying stage tracking master invited by Hei Ze Sect confirmed that Fairy Zixia was protected by a fourth-level demon king, so it was not easy to attack and could not be captured quickly.
If the attack on Fairy Zixia fails and is exposed, it would be equivalent to directly declaring war on the Dayu Kingdom and would make Xiang Dalong alert.
There is one last safe option.
When Dayu's campaign reaches a critical moment, I believe the royal family will pay the price and will most likely be able to ask Xiang Dalong to take action.
Xiang Dalong's attitude of raising the price can also be guessed by outside forces.
As long as Xiang Dalong is willing to join the battle, the three of them can join forces, hide in the darkness, and still seize the initiative.
If Xiang Dalong was injured on the battlefield or his energy was depleted after the battle, the success rate would be higher.
"Master Gou, are you sure Xiang Dalong has left?"
True Lord Mingshui found it a little bit unbelievable that an arrangement without any hope could actually lure the snake out of its hole.
If it weren't for their behind-the-scenes promotion, Fairy Le's letter for help would have been difficult to send from the Dandao League to Dayu Kingdom.
"Yes, it's Xiang Dalong!"
"Nascent Soul cultivator, his appearance and aura match. There can't be a third Nascent Soul cultivator in Yunxia Sect, right?"
Master Gou was very confident that his tracking method had left insect and bird spies near the Yunxia Sect and had confirmed the target's whereabouts.
"Good! If this is accomplished, Kurosawa Zong will owe you a favor, Master, and will definitely reward you handsomely."
The gray-haired man was calm and composed, smiling faintly.
The magic power in his body was surging, as vast as the sea and smoke, and had apparently reached the peak level of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Master Gou is a famous tracking master in the coastal area of the East Region. His family chamber of commerce trades with overseas islands and needs to rely on the trade routes of the Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai.
In addition to his extraordinary tracking skills, Master Gou is also a top-level third-level fortune-teller. The two complement each other and have extraordinary effects.
In order to search for possible teleportation sites in Tinghai Pavilion and increase the chances of defeating Xiang Dalong, Hei Ze Zong asked Master Gou to take action.
…
"You two! Xiang Dalong is heading to the Dan Dao League."
After a moment, Master Gou suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Master Mingshui and the gray-haired man showed delight on their faces.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Master Gou performed a concealing technique, and the three of them landed on a huge magical leaf, which broke through the air and flew straight into the clouds, chasing after them.
The three of them controlled the leaf magic weapon at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Half a day later, outside the border of Dayu Kingdom.
The powerful spiritual sense of the Hei Ze Sect's Grand Elder faintly captured the Nascent Soul level escape light in the Jiugang Sky.
A man in a white robe was traveling through the fourth layer of the Jiugangtian. He was surrounded by strange phenomena such as strong winds, strange fires, meteorites, and hail, which interfered with his spiritual consciousness to a certain extent.
“Found the target!”
The three Yuanyings of the Eastern Region chased after them without hesitation.
Not to mention the combat power comparable to that of a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even if it was a great Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the three of them had the confidence to contend with him if they joined forces.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The gray-haired man and True Lord Mingshui transformed into two beams of black water, their speed far exceeding that of Master Gou who was in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Among them, the great elder of the Hei Ze Sect escapes even faster than Master Mingshui.
"You two don't have to be so anxious! We are now beyond the territory of Dayu Kingdom. As long as this little guy is here, Xiang Dalong can't escape from our grasp."
Master Gou smiled, looking calm and composed.
The target was tracked and his mission was basically completed.
Master Gou is not the main combatant, he just needs to play auxiliary role on the side and there is no need to rush forward to fight.
In just a moment, Master Gou fell behind by nearly a thousand miles.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt a familiar wood-type light approaching from behind.
"What is your name, Master?"
On the dark green wood-type escape light, a man in white clothes, as gentle as jade, said with a smile.
"Xiang...Xiang Dalong!"
Master Gou's eyes widened with a look of horror.
"How is this possible! That Nascent Soul cultivator in front of us——"
He felt a chill down his spine, in disbelief, and glanced ahead at the two middle Nascent Soul cultivators who were chasing him away.
If the person appearing behind him was Xiang Dalong, then who was the white-robed Nascent Soul cultivator being chased by the two mid-stage giants in front?
"My two fellow Taoists..."
Master Gou broke out in sweat on his forehead. Knowing that he was no match for Xiang Dalong, he immediately took out a token and sent a message to the front.
Fortunately, the two in front were only less than a thousand miles away.
In order to fight against the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Xiang Dalong has to rely on the puppet army formation, and his means of killing should be inferior to that of a real mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Although Master Gou’s fighting skills were average, he still had some confidence that he could hold out for a while.
"How dare you be distracted in front of someone."
Lu Changan chuckled, knowing the other person's mentality.
But he showed no mercy.
After quickly approaching, the nail-head arrow hidden in the sleeve was suddenly fired with accumulated power.
The attack range of [Nail Head Arrow] is beyond that of an ordinary magic weapon.
"Not good! Hiss——"
As Master Gou was just noticing it, his Nascent Soul body shook violently, his consciousness felt a tearing pain, and he fell into a state of confusion.
laugh--
A strange and sharp nail-head arrow shadow cut through the void, flashing a dark golden glow, causing a sharp whistling sound like metal friction at the soul level, and instantly reflected in the terrified pupils of the Nascent Soul spirit body.
Master Gou's body stiffened, and the protective magic weapon he had just activated fell down trembling, and the protective magic shield dimmed and disappeared.
In the void, the shadow of the spike arrow flashed by, carrying with it the dangerous aura of exterminating gods and ghosts.
call out!
The bloody spike arrow shadow returned to Lu Changan's hand.
at the same time.
Ziz! Boom!
A thick, charred wooden stake floated above Master Gou's head. The blue lightning of destruction fell, destroying the severely injured Yuanying, who was almost collapsed, along with Master Gou's body, spirit pet, and other things.
Only a space bracelet flew into Lu Changan's hands.
In order to kill this man quickly, Lu Changan did not plan to capture the Nascent Soul this time to avoid any accidents.
After all, the other two Nascent Souls were only about a thousand miles away and would be able to arrive soon.
As for the means of the nail-headed arrow, True Lord Mingshui had experienced it in his early years, but he did not know its true power after its qualitative leap.
…
Above the clouds.
"Something is wrong! Although the white-robed monk in front has Nascent Soul-level mana and consciousness fluctuations, he doesn't seem to be a real living being."
The great elder of the Hei Ze Sect, who was chasing in front, couldn't help but change his expression after carefully investigating with his powerful spiritual sense.
True Lord Mingshui lagged behind a little, and only discovered the clue after being reminded by the great elder.
The appearance and skin of the white-robed monk were basically the same as Xiang Dalong. The key point was that he also had the soul fluctuations of the Nascent Soul level, which was enough to be mistaken for the real thing.
"Brother! Master Gou sent a message for help, saying that he encountered the real Xiang Dalong."
At this time, True Lord Mingshui took out the communication token and said urgently.
Got fooled!
The two middle Nascent Soul cultivators from Hei Ze Zong looked at each other, and their faces suddenly became gloomy and ugly.
"Xiang Dalong may have become a fourth-level puppet master. The man in white robe in front should be the Nascent Soul puppet he created!"
Lord Mingshui's thoughts raced, and he understood the truth instantly.
Before Xiang Dalong disappeared, it was rumored that he had achieved the level of a quasi-fourth-rank puppet master.
After not seeing each other for more than a hundred years, it was not surprising that he became a fourth-rank puppet refining master.
"Xiang! Da! Long!"
The chief elder of the Kurosawa clan felt like he was being fooled and became furious.
At this time, he had caught up with the man in white robe, and with a flip of his hand, a huge wave of black water was created, covering the sky and the sun.
Whoosh!
A huge, pitch-black hand stretched out from the dark water and stirred it violently. The sky and the earth suddenly became dark, as if it was the end of the world.
The next moment, the giant black water hand grabbed the white-robed man's head.
Snap!
The black water giant hand had not yet arrived, but the invisible force that overturned the rivers and seas caused the white-robed man's clothes to explode, revealing the thick scales underneath.
The fourth-level puppet's arm swelled and turned into a giant metal shield, trying to block the giant black water hand.
Bang!
There was a loud noise as if a mountain was cracking.
The white-robed puppet's tiger's mouth cracked, and it rolled out using the force, flying into the forest below at high speed.
The body of a fourth-level puppet is powerful. If it were an ordinary Yuanying in the early stage, the previous blow would probably have injured it and vomited blood.
Hey!
The great elder of the Hei Ze Sect swept his spiritual sense towards the dusty forest. After the white-robed puppet fell down with the help of the force, its figure disappeared instantly.
He couldn't help but guess that there was a fourth-order illusion array set up in the forest.
However, there is no fourth-level spiritual vein in this area, and the castrated version of the illusion array is unlikely to have such an effect, which seems very strange.
"Brother, the most urgent task is to save Master Gou. We can't let Xiang Dalong escape!"
Lord Mingshui discovered that the token communication was interrupted and felt something was wrong.
If Master Gou dies, it will be more difficult to track down and deal with Xiang Dalong in the future.
Without waiting for the Great Elder's response, True Lord Mingshui turned around and flew to the direction where Master Gou and Xiang Dalong met.
The woman gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with deep hatred and murderous intent.
She has never forgotten the revenge for being killed and the hatred for having her treasure stolen more than a hundred years ago!
"Master Gou cannot die! Xiang Dalong's true body is the key!"
The Great Elder of the Hei Ze Sect had an unwilling look on his face. He withdrew his gaze from the illusion array area. Without taking time to investigate, he turned around and followed True Lord Mingshui.
Master Gou should be able to hold on for such a short period of time!
The two of them did not belong to the same force as Master Gou, and without soul lamps and life paintings, they were unable to sense his death.
Therefore, the two Nascent Soul giants did not know that Master Gou was killed by Lu Changan's thunder immediately after the message was delivered.
Even for the top powerhouses in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it is difficult to kill so quickly. This is beyond common sense.
…
True Lord Mingshui was the first to arrive at the scene.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he soon discovered the charred bodies of Master Gou and his spirit pet, which had just exploded in mid-air, leaving behind a cloud of black ash and thick smoke.
"Xiang Dalong! How dare you kill Master Gou!"
She was filled with shock and anger, and her cold pale face showed an expression of disbelief.
"As a giant in the Central Region, I set up an ambush here and killed a Nascent Soul cultivator who was not good at fighting within ten breaths. Is this surprising to Fellow Daoist Mingshui?"
Director Lu pretended to install it and put away the [Thunder Wood Stake] that was converging the electric arc.
Judging from the situation, Master Gou had just been killed by that strange lightning magic weapon.
A step too late!
Lord Mingshui was filled with remorse!
If he had reacted faster and turned back without hesitation, he might have been able to save Master Gou.
Although Master Gou is not good at fighting, without him, the success rate of tracking and besieging Xiang Dalong will be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, after Xiang Dalong killed the man, he did not run away immediately?
Such arrogance gave the two giants of the Hei Ze Sect, who had the same martial arts skills and joined forces to attack together, an opportunity.
