Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 266
“Soul exchange?”
Li Rui and Jiang Linxian were both shocked.
What kind of method is this? !
Xu Xuan laughed: “The soul exchange technique is not as mysterious as you think. It is not a Daluo Jinxian, so how can it be possible to directly replace the soul? It is just an evil technique that can confuse people’s minds.”
“The Nine Souls Dharma King is good at this.”
Jiang Linxian nodded slowly: “I heard that the Nine Souls Dharma King of the Ghost Sect can eat living souls. I think he relies on this method.”
Li Rui’s heart moved slightly.
This sounds similar to the deep hypnosis in the previous life. Some skilled hypnotists can even make fools wise through hypnosis. It is extremely mysterious.
Xu Xuan nodded.
“It just so happens that I learned this skill from an old man when I was wandering around in the martial arts world in my early years, so I can tell it apart.”
Li Rui asked: “Senior, what is the good fortune you just mentioned?”
Xu Xuan smiled when he heard the word good fortune:
“Good fortune comes after bad fortune. My disciple Qu has a special physique. He must have been spotted by the Nine Souls Dharma King, who wanted to refine him into a human puppet. As a result, he not only escaped, but also remained clear-minded. The soul-refining pill refined by the Nine Souls Dharma King opened his mind and made him smarter than ordinary people.”
Li Rui suddenly realized.
No wonder Qu Chengfeng, a playboy, became a different person after suffering a disaster. It turned out that he had a great opportunity.
Jiang Linxian: “Since it’s a good thing, then Senior…”
Xu Xuan’s face turned cold, and murderous intent surged in his eyes:
“No matter what the result is, since he dared to attack my disciples of the Immortal Tower, he must pay the price. Now that Gu is the supervisor, it is inconvenient for him to take action, so I, the master, will come to get back at him.”
“I heard that the Nine Souls Dharma King went to the Man Gu City of the Wu Kingdom, so I came here.”
“How to get back at him?”
“Of course, it’s the martial arts world, and I came to kill people.”
Hearing this.
Li Rui was horrified.
Killing the earth immortal!
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
However, Li Rui was not optimistic that the old Taoist Xu Xuan would succeed in this trip.
Xu Xuan is now in the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and his realm has fallen to the innate, while the Nine Souls Dharma King is still at his peak. If he goes, he will probably die early.
Jiang Linxian couldn’t help but persuade him: “Senior, it’s better to take a long-term view on this matter, don’t lose your life in vain.”
Xu Xuan waved his hand indifferently: “I’m not one of those young fools. Although I only have 20 years to live, I won’t lose my life easily.”
Seeing this, Jiang Linxian had to give up.
Xu Xuan smiled:
“Okay, I’m going to live in Qinghe for some time, and I won’t provoke the Nine Soul Dharma King for the time being.”
“I won’t do anything that the birthday star hates his life.”
Xu Xuan moved into the military mansion.
In this regard.
No matter what Jiang Linxian saw, he was happy to see it happen. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Now An Ningwei is in a state of emptiness. Even if Xu Xuan doesn’t take action, it will be a deterrent to some villains.
In addition to practicing and doing errands, Li Rui has one more thing every day, that is, to practice with Xiao Bai Jiao.
Since Xiao Bai Jiao gave him the blood of Yinglong, the man and the monster have actually established a mysterious relationship similar to companionship.
After the little white dragon shed its skin, the dragon essence in its body increased greatly.
Feeding back to Li Rui, it is much more beneficial than the practice of dragon elephant true essence.
The dragon power has just been cultivated, and it has made progress.
The little white dragon’s strength also recovered very quickly. In just a few days, it has the strength of a ninth-level monster. It can be said that it has the power to protect itself and does not need to stay in the secret room all day.
The bright moon hangs high.
On the dream cloud platform.
Li Rui stood quietly with the hidden sword in his hand, but his momentum has reached its peak.
The thought moved slightly.
A figure appeared in front of him.
Zhuang Renhe walked towards him slowly, holding the strange black sword in his hand.
Li Rui took a step, and the distance between the two people quickly narrowed. Almost in an instant, the hidden sword collided with the black sword in the air.
Peng!
Just after the fight.
Zhuang Renhe was completely suppressed by Li Rui and retreated again and again.
The situation was reversed from that night.
The terrifying power of the dragon force made Zhuang Renhe have no chance to fight back. Zhuang Renhe retreated again and again, and was soon forced to the edge of the cloud platform, with no room for retreat.
As Li Rui’s hidden sword fell, Zhuang Renhe was blown into a ball of white smoke and dissipated.
“Forty-seven.”
Li Rui’s eyes lit up.
He killed Zhuang Renhe with only forty-seven moves.
‘The dragon force is great, and the increase in combat power is indeed great. ‘
Although Zhuang Renhe is not a good fighter, his realm is not bad. He can kill a fifth-grade junior master so easily, which is more than most fifth-grade warriors.
This combat power is already good in Yunzhou.
Kill Zhuang Renhe.
Li Rui began to review the previous battle with his eyes closed. He felt that there was still room for improvement.
For example. Kill Zhuang Renhe with ten moves?
One night passed.
“Hmm”
Li Rui opened his eyes and saw the familiar beams.
He got up, washed his face, and walked out of the room.
When he was practicing in the courtyard, he saw Liang He rushing in.
“Master, something happened, our goods were seized.”
Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: “What happened?”
Liang He’s breathing was a little disordered, obviously he was running very fast: “Today, the second leader led the caravan out of the city, but was disarmed by Zhong Xiancheng and his men, and then all the goods were seized.”
Zhong Zheng?
Li Rui touched his chin.
Since Zhuang Renhe’s death, Zhong Zheng, the county magistrate, has become the boss of the Qinghe County government office. Because they had a common enemy, Zhuang Renhe, there was some communication between the two parties.
Logically speaking, he wouldn’t do things so harshly.
There must be a reason.
Liang He continued: “Zhongxian Cheng asked Master to go to the county government office to meet with him.”
Li Rui groaned:
“Okay, I understand.”
Then he planned to go out to the county government office, but he heard Liang He whispering behind him: “Master, be careful of fraud!”
He was afraid that the Hongmen Banquet would be detrimental to his master.
Li Rui said calmly: “It doesn’t matter.”
It’s definitely a scam, but it won’t hurt your life.
After all, Zhong Zheng chose the county government, and he was also an official of the imperial court. If Zhong Zheng really wanted to harm him, he would choose another place to kill him in the county government. He really pretended that he had no political opponents.
Since you won’t die, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
The business of the Tiandi Alliance is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more disciples under the sect, becoming a powerful force in Qinghe.
In the past, when Zhuang Renhe was the county magistrate, Zhong Zheng would naturally not take action against the Tiandi Alliance.
It will even open the door for convenience.
But now that Zhuang Renhe is dead and he has become the chief official, his attitude will naturally change.
Not long after.
Li Rui came to the county government office and specially brought Tan Hu and two soldiers riding a tiger.
“Just stand outside.”
After giving a brief instruction, he stepped into the lobby.
It’s really lively.
In addition to the county prime minister Zhong Zheng, there are three others.
Li Rui is familiar with these three people, Shi Zhou from Shenbing Villa, Zhou Ting, the elder of Baizhan Sect, and Bai Jing, the elder of Daoxuan Sect.
Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.
‘What a grand display. ’
Three elders from the eight major sects in the city came at once.
Not many people in Qinghe can get this kind of treatment.
“Lord Zhong, the three elders are also here.”
Li Rui laughed loudly and clasped his fists.
Zhong Zheng looked at Li Rui with a smile, but sneered in his heart.
They are all old turtles in the officialdom. How could he not see what Li Rui did just now?
First, he brought the soldiers of the Anning Guard. This was to tell the county magistrate that he was an officer of the Anning Guard. If he touched him, he would be attacking the Anning Guard.
Then he called him Mr. Zhong.
It reminds Zhong Zheng not to forget his identity as a court official and to sit upright. The world is still a world after all, so don’t sink too deep into it.
If it weren’t for Shi Zhou and the other two people.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Li Rui would change his name to “Brother Zhong”.
Now he is in the sixth grade, and Zhong Zheng is also in the sixth grade. There is nothing wrong with calling him Brother Zhong.
Zhong Zheng pretended not to know and said in surprise: “Master Li, why are you here? Is there something wrong?”
Li Rui looked at Zhong Zheng with a half-smile.
According to what Liang He said, it was Zhong Zheng who personally led people to seize the goods from the Tiandi Alliance today. How could he not know this.
But since Zhong Zheng decided to act, Li Rui would just accompany him.
As if there was nothing urgent, he found a seat and sat down, leisurely and contentedly.
Seeing Li Rui’s appearance.
The four people in the hall all had an idea.
See how long you can keep it up.
Li Rui sat down and then spoke slowly: “Master Zhong, I heard that your son entered the eighth rank not long ago, which is a critical time to lay a solid foundation. I happen to have some friends in the Wu Kingdom, and he has a batch of goods in his hands. There is a red-scaled fish, which is of great benefit to the eighth grade.”
Hear this.
Zhong Zheng’s expression changed.
His son’s martial arts skills are excellent, and he has probably reached the top of his official career, so he can have high hopes for this boy.
He has been secretly searching for foundation-building treasures.
Of course this red-scaled fish knows.
It’s just that this thing is only found in Wu Kingdom, and it’s extremely rare. Even he doesn’t have a clue.
‘It is said that this old man Li has many connections in the Wu Kingdom, and it is true. ’
Zhong Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing the change in Zhong Zheng’s expression, Li Rui chuckled: “Master Zhong, the people in the county government are becoming more and more rude. They haven’t served tea for so long.”
There was a brief silence in the hall.
Then Zhong Zheng laughed loudly: “Come here, serve tea!”
Hearing the word “serve tea”, Li Rui leaned back comfortably.
The key to breaking the situation is to know the enemy’s weaknesses.
As the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, he is certainly not as strong as the eight major sects, but when it comes to gossip, Qinghe is the best.
You can never go wrong talking to a middle-aged married man about kids.
Zhong Zheng was clearly showing signs of wavering.
Shi Zhou frowned slightly, coughed slightly, and reminded: “Master Zhong.”
Hearing Shi Zhou’s voice, Zhong Zheng chuckled, but his words were not as strong as before.
“Master Li, it is a good thing to invite you here this time.”
Of course he knew that Li Rui was the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
The reason why he launched an attack today was because Shi Zhou and the others gave him benefits.
Otherwise, how could he be so full that he could support a sixth-grade captain of An Ning Guard in such a manner.
Li Rui took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows:
“Good thing?”
Zhong Zheng: “I heard that Mr. Li’s Tiandi Alliance business is very big. Since there is money to be made, why not make it together? The three elders are strong and can better protect Shang Zhouquan, right?”
The corners of Li Rui’s mouth raised slightly.
When he walked in and saw Shi Zhou, he already had a vague suspicion in his mind.
Sure enough.
Just for the Tiandi Alliance business.
It was expected that Shenbing Villa would not give up easily. It turned out that they had been secretly planning. Baizhanmen and Daoxuanzong must have been brought in by Shizhou.
That’s right.
The business of Tiandi League is getting bigger and bigger. It has reached the point where even the big sects are jealous. Before, the people of the eight big sects were secretly observing and waiting for the right time. Now it is finally time to start slaughtering.
Jiang Linxian is famous, but he can’t suppress the elders of the three sects.
At this time.
Zhou Ting, the elder of Baizhanmen, said in a rough voice: “Lord Li, our sects have made a lot of efforts in the trade between the two countries. Since it is a trade with Wuguo, we should have a share.”
Shizhou saw Zhou Ting take the lead.
He smiled in his heart.
He specially called Zhou Ting, a reckless man, to open the situation first.
Tie Kuang has already stepped in to help with the weapons business of the Tiandi League. Of course, he dared not intervene due to personal feelings. However, in addition to the weapons business, the Tiandi League is also doing a booming business in monsters, which makes the elders of several major sects jealous.
How could this be tolerated?
So today’s scene happened.
What level is the Tiandi League, and is it worthy of eating alone?
Bai Jing of Daoxuan Sect also spoke at this time: “Lord Li, you have a wide range of connections. In business, harmony brings wealth, and everyone makes money together.”
Although the words were said euphemistically, the meaning was the same.
They were determined to get a share of the Tiandi League’s business, no, the biggest profits should be given to them.
Otherwise, the goods would be detained frequently today.
County Magistrate Zhong Zhengze quietly moved his seat.
Except at the beginning, he didn’t say much, just smiled and watched coldly.
In his opinion.
Li Rui could only bow his head today.
It is not uncommon to make quick money with connections, but if you want to make money for a long time, you need enough foundation. In Zhong Zheng’s opinion, a force with only two sixth-grade members cannot eat such a big piece of fat, even with Li Rui in charge.
There is no way if the fist is not strong enough.
At least a fifth-grade junior master is needed to keep this business.
Shi Zhou sneered: “Master Li, if you hand over the connection, we can let you continue to participate.”
He made a very good calculation.
As long as Li Rui hands over the connection, with the foundation of their three sects, at most they can squeeze out the Tiandi League at a higher price regardless of cost.
With the foundation of the Tiandi League, it can’t hold on for long and can only withdraw on its own.
In the final analysis, whether it is Li Rui or the Tiandi League, they are several levels lower than them.
Today they want to use their power to suppress others.
Zhong Zheng looked at the tense scene in the lobby and couldn’t help but wonder how Li Rui would break the situation.
He heard about it.
Li Rui is a man of strategy. When he was weak before, he was highly valued by Jiang Linxian because of his many ways.
No matter how he thought, he couldn’t figure out how to resolve the situation of the three major sects forcing the emperor to abdicate today.
Li Rui listened to the words of Shi Zhou and the other two, and his face was still calm.
He slowly put down the teacup.
He smiled:
“I thought it was a big deal. Why do you need to go through so much trouble for such a small matter? I will personally introduce you to it another day.”
As soon as these words came out.
Shi Zhou and the other two, including Zhong Zheng, were all stunned.
That’s it?
You don’t even resist?
