Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2119 The First Battle

"Greetings, Master Young Master."

Si Lu appeared at the edge of Lei Ze and only saluted the young master, ignoring everyone else.

The young master looked at Silu and said, "Thousands of years ago, King Yan brought you to my house. We met before."

Si Lu nodded, "I was young and ignorant at that time, and my father asked the young master to teach me. The scene at that time is still vivid in my mind, but it's a pity that things have changed."

The young master smiled but did not respond.

Prince Lu was very patient and did not get angry at Si Lu's disregard. He just spoke at this time, "Why didn't Minister Xia show up? Is it because he knows that he has committed a serious sin and is too ashamed to face people?"

Si Lu's eyes turned cold, and she said disdainfully: "Empress Xia has important matters to attend to. You are a treacherous villain who only knows how to scheme and scheme. How can you be qualified to let Empress Xia see you!"

King Lu smiled calmly, raised his hands to the sky, and said righteously: "The justice of heaven and earth is in the hearts of people! What I did was selfless. I stopped you from plotting rebellion only to avoid civil strife in the clan and to ensure the stability of our Siyou clan! Fortunately, King Yan died unexpectedly before he succeeded, so he didn't make a big mistake. I can't let the poison spread to future generations, so I can only resort to this last resort. This time, I am ordered by the Emperor Si to come to fight against the remnants, why don't you surrender quickly!"

When he finished speaking, King Lu suddenly shouted loudly, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, echoing between heaven and earth.

This shout was so shocking that the morale of the Siyou army was greatly boosted and they all shouted loudly.

"Capture without mercy!"

"Capture without mercy!"

……

For a moment, his reputation even tended to overshadow that of Lei Ze.

Si Lu was furious when King Lu bit back at him. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Father has never committed any act of rebellion. You coveted the Mirage Jue and poisoned my entire family. You even dared to deceive the Emperor Si and slander my father. You deserve death!"

Prince Lu was unmoved and said calmly, "The evidence of Prince Yan's rebellion is irrefutable. Don't even think about making excuses! If you have a clear conscience, why don't you return to the clan with us and defend your father in front of the Emperor?"

Silu looked towards the young master.

The young master nodded and said, "That's right! I have been ordered by the emperor to bring you and Lady Xia back to the palace. If you feel that you have been wronged, follow me back and prove that you are innocent. The emperor will definitely do justice for you. Who is right and who is wrong will be clear once you have a fight!"

Prince Lu had a clear conscience and continued to persuade: "The masterminds are Attendant Xia and Prince Yan. If it is found that you are not deeply involved, considering that the Yanshansi family is also one of the four royal families, they may let you go. If you still insist on not changing your ways, you will be doomed and will also implicate your clansmen! The Emperor Si is kind-hearted and has not implicated too many people. They are all looking forward to your return!"

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

……

The shouts of the Siyou tribe army were like a landslide and a tsunami, shocking Silu's mind. King Lu threatened Silu with the surviving members of Yanshan Sijia, which was a cruel move.

At this time, Qin Sang's clone, which was condensed from the power of thunder, interjected, "When King Yan's body was still warm, the Lu family secretly poisoned King Yan's entire clan, showing how vicious they are! If the two Taoists believed you, I'm afraid you would kill them before they even got back to the Siyou clan. Then, they would be dead without any evidence, and the Lu family would be able to do whatever they want!"

Si Lu clenched his fists, the anger in his heart made him calmer.

They both showed up, firstly to find out the strength of the Siyou clan army, and secondly to observe the attitude of the young master.

The information revealed by the young master in just a few words is very important.

The Emperor has not yet publicly convicted the Yanshan Sijia, so the Junior Master may not necessarily side with the Hanjiang Lu family. Of course, if they are vulnerable or even just at a disadvantage, the Junior Master will definitely join forces with the Lu King to eliminate the remnants of the Yan King and prove that the Yanshan Sijia is plotting a rebellion.

After further confirming this key information, Si Lu's pressure was relieved a lot. He said coldly, "I have sworn that what the Lu family has given me will be returned tenfold or a hundredfold! How can such a blood feud be left to others? I, Si Lu, will take revenge myself and clear my father's name!"

After saying that, Si Lu turned around without hesitation, leaving behind a resolute back, and disappeared into the depths of Lei Ze.

The smile on Lu Wang's face faded, and he commented coldly: "It's your own destruction!"

"Lord Lu, you are so arrogant, you treat me like nothing?"

Qin Sang laughed loudly and shouted in a deep voice, "I am just about to learn from King Lu's methods. If I want to take you two fellow Taoists away, you must get through me first!"

'Snapped! '

The clone suddenly shattered and split into several lightning bolts.

‘Boom! ’

The lightning flashed faster and the thunder roared loudly.

In the vision of the Siyou army, the void was filled with countless thunder and lightning, wandering endlessly in the void, with an extremely terrifying momentum from birth to death.

If they force their way in, no one has the confidence to escape unscathed. Those with weaker cultivation may not even be able to withstand one of the thunders.

The extremely dazzling lightning stung my eyes, and it seemed as if there was nothing else between heaven and earth, and everything was destroyed by the power of thunder.

Lei Ze is a natural moat that lies in front of the Siyou army, blocking their way.

King Lu took a deep look, then turned to the young master and asked, "Can we first plant the Wuding Bajitu here?"

The young master immediately guessed King Lu's idea. It seemed that he was not going to launch a fierce attack, but to rely on the Wuding Baji Diagram, take steady steps, and slowly break the formation.

Looking around and sensing everything, the young master nodded and said, "Yes!"

The chief worshiper had been silent until now, but now he opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder how far the power of the Unfixed Eight Extremes Diagram can be spread when Master Young activates it? If someone on our side is in danger inside the altar formation, can Master Young activate the formation diagram to save them?"

The young master's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, and he communicated with the chief priest through telepathy.

The chief priest nodded repeatedly, and finally bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

The young master bowed in return, appeared briefly, and then disappeared into the darkness.

After a moment, the land shook slightly, fell rapidly, and finally hovered three hundred feet above the sea.

Then, the land cast a dark yellow light, seeping into the seabed. The sea surface was surging with waves and splashes, as if something was about to rush out from the bottom of the sea.

‘Wow! ’

Huge waves rose into the sky, and a mountain emerged from the sea. The mountain continued to grow and eventually connected with the land, becoming a pillar supporting the land.

Then, mountains grew out from the seabed one after another, and finally there were eight strange peaks standing above the sea.

All of a sudden, everyone had a sense of being grounded, and the land beneath their feet became much more stable. However, it was not because of the support of the pillars of heaven, but rather a kind of indescribable feeling.

Prince Lu did not act rashly and led everyone back to the palace.

Yuan Miao knew that what was going to happen next involved the deployment of troops and the secrets of the Lu family, and he would not be allowed to sit in, so he flew to a hilltop where he had a cave.

After the young master offered up the Wuding Baji Diagram, he could no longer leave at will. As long as King Lu did not break the agreement, he could do nothing but watch.

From inside the imperial carriage, one could clearly see the dancing lightning in the sky.

King Lu looked around at everyone and said, "The enemy has already deployed their troops. Who is willing to go out and fight and see what's going on?"

They intend to move forward step by step, but that doesn't mean they can really slow down.

This expedition has a time limit, and the Zhuyan tribe will not allow the armies of other tribes to stay in their territory forever.

There are also time restrictions in the ancient covenant.

The time limit started from the moment they set foot on the territory of the Zhuyan tribe. As of today, they only have three years left.

We must defeat our opponent within three years, and we only have one chance.

If Silu escapes from Zhuyan’s territory within three years, she will not be allowed to return and will no longer be protected by Zhuyan. Similarly, if they cannot capture and kill Silu here, they must stop after three years, otherwise Zhuyan will have a reason to attack. From now on, they can only wait for Silu and her friends to leave Zhuyan’s territory on their own initiative and then attack them from outside.

Three years is neither short nor long.

This is a battle between two armies, not a fight between two people.

Void-refining cultivators can manipulate the vital energy of heaven and earth. As long as they are not isolated from heaven and earth, they will not have to worry about the depletion of their true energy. It is possible for two Void-refining cultivators of equal strength to fight for a year or two without a clear winner.

Wars between mortals can easily last for years, not to mention that both sides have top-notch warriors. Of course, cultivators can fly and hide, and in wars in the immortal world, once one side falls into a disadvantage, the outcome can be decided quickly.

In three years, we might not even be able to figure out the rules of the enemy's formation.

Prince Lu and the chief priest guessed that Si Lu dared to stay because she might have this idea in mind.

Xia Changshi has not appeared yet, and her life or death is unknown. According to the information sent by the informant and the judgment of the chief priest on Xia Changshi, Si Lu and the Qin Zhenren seem to be full of confidence, but in fact they may not have the strength to compete with them.

But because of this, the chief priest did not dare to be sure that Xia Changshi had definitely died. With a combination of false and real situations and a sufficiently complex altar formation, he could delay the situation for three years. The army would have no choice but to retreat, and Silu could then rest assured.

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

Before he finished speaking, a man jumped out. It was Lu Qian.

Back then, Lu Qian was forced to retreat by Qin Sang, who was one level lower than him in cultivation. He was forced to use the art of mutual transformation and escaped injured, which was a great humiliation.

At that time, he was missing one of his four companion beasts, and the power of his killing move was greatly reduced, otherwise the outcome would have been unknown. This time, with the support of the Wuding Baji Diagram, he was finally able to attack with all his strength and avenge his previous defeat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he saw the chief priest shaking his head and saying, "Not appropriate!"

Lu Qian did not dare to question the chief priest, he bowed his head and listened attentively, he only heard the chief priest say: "There are only a handful of people in our formation who are stronger than you. If I let you fight in the first battle, who should I choose in the future? Besides, the young master will not take action directly, someone must sit in the Wuding Bajitu and be ready to rescue people at any time. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to you. The gains and losses of one battle are not important, the best policy is to proceed step by step..."

Having said that, the chief priest turned his head to look to the side.

There were two people sitting there, both dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking handsome.

They don't look alike, one is feminine and the other is masculine, but their auras are very similar, like a pair of Taoist lovers.

In fact, they are not Taoist companions and have no blood relationship, but they are like family members.

The two practiced the same martial arts, but unexpectedly developed two completely different temperaments. They found that they complemented each other, so they have been inseparable. They changed their names to Shimu and Shiying, which sound like brother and sister. Their real names are unknown.

Later, they both broke through the second level of the Void Realm and became famous.

They are not subordinates of King Lu, but more like independent cultivators, who came here at the invitation of the great priest.

There are several others like them. All the cultivators are divided into two circles. The innermost ones are naturally Lu Wang’s confidants. Shi Mu and others are on the periphery and do not express their opinions.

The chief priest looked at the two of them and said, "May I ask you two Taoist friends to fight in our first battle?"

Shimu and Shiying looked at each other, stood up and said in unison: "Okay! We will take over this stage!"

If the enemy intended to delay, the first line of attack was often the safest, so they readily agreed.

King Lu was overjoyed, "Then I'll have to trouble you two, Lu Qian!"

"I'm here!" Lu Qian knew that he would not be able to go into battle for a while, so he put his mind at ease and bowed to respond.

"Pass on my order to hand over the Jiugui tribe to fellow Taoists Shimu and Shiying to lead them. Follow them and obey their orders! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

"As ordered!"

Lu Qian immediately left the imperial carriage.

The Lu family army was divided into various units based on the names of the Lu family's territories. Except for the two units of King Lu's guards, the strength of the remaining units was almost equal.

Since they have to break through the formation, they cannot let Shimu and Shiying go alone. They must have someone to send them.

Soon, flags were flying outside the imperial carriage, and the scene was dark.

The Jiugui tribe was all dressed in black helmets and armor. They were not only full of fighting spirit and disciplined, but also had a cultivation base of at least the fourth level of the Yuan Realm. They also had a full range of magic weapons and were proficient in a variety of battle formations, which was enough to deal with any situation.

Seeing this scene, Shimu and Shiying were secretly envious. It was not difficult for them to train a Jiugui Tribe, but the Jiugui Tribe was only one of the tribes under King Lu's throne. The foundation of the aristocratic royal family was too deep.

It is no wonder that among those independent cultivators, those who have made a name for themselves are mostly absorbed into the royal family and the four royal families.

"I wish you two a triumphant return!"

King Lu took out some magic wine to encourage him to leave.

The two men drank the spiritual wine in one gulp, and at a command, the army set out, like a black torrent, rushing out of the land and marching towards Lei Ze in a mighty and fearless manner.

Lu Qian also started to move, and flew to the highest peak in the center of the land, where there was a clear pool with water like a mirror.

Flying over the clear pond, Lu Qian sat cross-legged in the air, his clothes not getting wet, and his shadow was reflected in the clear pond. Immediately, the pond water shook slightly, and the shadow shattered into countless pieces and disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, in other corners of the land, monks from various branches of the Lu family cast spells together.

The next moment, Lu Qian clearly felt a vast force. This force did not belong to him, but he could control it.

There is no need for adjustment, this power is extremely obedient and obeys his will.

Quickly controlling this power, Lu Qian turned his will forward, and Shi Mu and others appeared in his "field of vision".

Lu Qian's heart moved, and an invisible wave spread out, blessing Shi Mu and others through the air, allowing them to establish a connection with the Wuding Baji Diagram. In this way, their position in the enemy's altar formation could be locked and they could be rescued in time.

The Jiugui tribe was completely unaware of this, only Shimu and Shiying's expressions were slightly moved, and they felt something. To be on the safe side, they all left a companion beast behind, and with the protection of the Wuding Bajitu, their lives were definitely safe, so they charged into the battle without any worries.

Inside Lei Ze, Qin Sang looked westward and said calmly, "Here they come!" (End of this chapter)
