It was almost afternoon when the sun shone through the thin clouds and shone onto the deserted bamboo garden.

The rustling green bamboos are hung with melting ice crystals, cool and peaceful.

And under the bamboo garden, in the underground water palace.

The round ball in the cultivator's corpse's hand was still pouring out water continuously.

The rustling sound seems to be telling a secret that has been hidden for decades.

Jade Yuanchan stared silently at the cultivator's face, and could vaguely make out that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Third Grandma.

"Wang Changsheng... It turns out that Third Grandma's child died a long time ago. She was waiting for him to return in the bamboo building, but she didn't know that he had been there all along."

Li Qinglin thought of the woman who lived by the soft and warm firewood by the stream and who never left the bamboo house.

This maze-like underground river may have been discovered by someone in the past decade or so.

However, compared to ordinary people, the underground river channel is narrower, more tortuous, and extremely dark, and no one knows where it ends. Even martial artists are unwilling to explore it.

Only smaller fish with thin scales can move in it.

Of course, now there is another outlier, the Jade Yuanchan.

If nothing unexpected happens, this water palace will continue to sleep underground and no one will know about it.

Or it will fall into the hands of Cangtian Shulu Temple.

"The Heaven-granted Scroll Temple... The Deer Staff Guest..."

Since he came into contact with Wei Liang that day, perhaps to show his sincerity, at Lu Zhangke's suggestion, Wei Liang told him a lot of information about his origins.

Among them was Lu Zhangke, who started out as a butcher, received ordination from an immortal, and became a master who had perfected the art of locking essence.

It was Lu Zhangke who, in order to forcibly break through the barrier of nourishing the spirit and "seize hearts to forge my divine will", committed endless killings in the city, seized the hearts of dozens of virgins, was hunted down by the Dianlisi, and was forced to interrupt his promotion.

Wei Liang did not say much about the information of the immortal who bestowed the ordination.

Even bringing him up was only to show that they also had an extraordinary figure on their side who could compete with the demon saint behind Li Qinglin.

Lu Zhangke knew that Li Qinglin was also the boy whose heart he had taken away, and he expressed his deep apology.

And then... it was gone.

Perhaps in Lu Zhangke's eyes, the current Li Qinglin is a monster that was enlightened by the evil spirit lurking in Wang's house.

He could just say sorry, like a polite apology for taking the fish from someone else's plate.

It has nothing to do with Li Qinglin himself.

There was a flame burning in Li Qinglin's heart.

First it was Lu Zhangke, then Wang Guanshi, and even Ah Xi and Lu Zuo Gang. Nowadays, all kinds of taxes and corvée are driving people to the brink of despair...

The cruelty of this world was far beyond his imagination.

The exploitation of the weak by the strong is written into the legal code! To break this world, you must have absolute power! In front of the Jade Yuanchan, a "broken sword" slowly floated out.

Only the tip of the sword remained, which was covered with rust and had traces of corrosion, and was full of pits and holes.

But the whole body is filled with flowing flames like magma, burning continuously.

Even though it fell into the dark river, the flames did not diminish at all. Instead, the water was evaporated into mist, making a gurgling sound like boiling water.

This item is the item that Wei Liang gave to Jade Yuanchan to break the formation. It can gradually eliminate the restrictions of the formation outside the water palace.

Li Qinglin guessed that this thing was most likely a treasure from the immortals, although it was only a fragment.

There was a suppressed and violent force in the broken sword, rushing outward all the time, as if only a spark would be enough to completely detonate it.

But it was trapped by the rust on the broken sword.

Since Lu Zhangke dared to lend this treasure that could break the formation to Jade Yuanchan, he naturally had countermeasures.

These rust marks must be reinforced by recasting every day using secret methods, otherwise the broken sword will self-destruct.

Lu Zhangke wanted to use the Jade Yuanchan to weaken the forbidden formation as much as possible and let the Water Palace appear.

The Jade Yuanchan also had the idea of ​​using Lu Zhangke to obtain the resources in the Water Palace.

and……

The Jade Yuan Chan had a dim gaze, but was not staring at the corpse of Wang Changsheng in the water palace.

Instead, he stared at the various fish swimming in the Hufu Pond.

There are thin-scaled fish, knife fish, and even fish that are somewhat similar to the dragon fish in strange stories and legends.

It looks like a fox and has a horn, but it seems to have impure blood and is much smaller in size, only slightly larger than a knife fish.

There are very few of them. In the entire Hufu Pond, only three or four Jade Yuan Chan were seen, and they often swam deep in the water without surfacing.

The target of the Jade Yuanchan was not the immortal's remains, but...

These insignificant fish in the pond! Some minor information gaps are enough to produce completely different results.

The broken sword burned the water, and the resulting mist condensed into liquid on the surface of the rock.

The Jade Yuan Chan had a thought and controlled the water flow to push the broken sword out of the water shield.

The water cover, which was already uneven in texture and in a state of decline, suddenly became shaky, flickering, and seemed to be about to disappear in the next moment.

Several smelts and a knife fish took advantage of the gap and swam out.

But what greeted him was a pink, long, whip-like tongue.

The knife fish reacts extremely quickly, like a flash of lightning.

The Jade Yuanchan flashed in an instant, suddenly shot out, and slapped the knife fish, which was trying to dodge, into a state of shock.

After swallowing the fine-scaled fish in a few mouthfuls, the Jade Yuanchan opened its mouth and ate the knife fish bit by bit.

The knife fish that once posed a life-and-death crisis to the bell toad can now only serve as food for the Jade Yuan Toad's transformation.

…

Wei Liang hurried back to the house, and after making sure that no one was there, he took out the bronze mirror.

He looked at the cold, tin-gleaming surface of the bronze mirror, his eyes showing hesitation.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly sent out the message.

"Master, the monster asked Li Qinglin to bring some words and wanted to ask for some supplies."

In the inner city, in a funeral home.

Lu Zhangke was meditating and regulating his breathing. Some time ago, he was chased by people from the Dianlisi and was accidentally hit by Hou Huanhua. His injuries have only just recovered now.

Notice the humming sound of the bronze mirror.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Lu Zhangke picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it. "Oh, you want to ask for supplies?"

Lu Zhangke didn't care too much. After all, the other party was a monster with magical powers. It wouldn't hurt to send some supplies as a gesture of goodwill.

As long as the other party is sensible, everyone will cooperate well and wait for Wang Changsheng's Water Palace to be born, and then everyone will rely on their own abilities.

But if you don't understand...

There was a hint of ferocity in Lu Zhangke's eyes and a sinister smile on his lips.

The identity of that monster is more sensitive to Wang Zhai than his own.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly under my bed? After he has used me up, I will expose the existence of this evildoer. By then, how will Wang Zhai have time to target me?

"What supplies?"

Lu Zhangke replied lazily and picked up the tea that had already gone cold on the table.

"It said that it wants storage bags, Sumeru mustard seeds, Qiankun bags and other storage treasures."

Phew!

Lu Zhangke suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth, choking him and causing him to cough a few times. He then replied angrily,

"No! If you want, come and take my life!"

On the other side of the bronze mirror, Wei Liang seemed to sense that Lu Zhangke was in a bad mood. He was silent for a few breaths before continuing,

"It also needs ten immortal treasures like the Broken Sword."

The corners of Lu Zhangke's eyes began to twitch, and the hand holding the bronze mirror trembled slightly.

Return the immortal treasures? Ten?

That broken red fire sword is one of the few remaining treasures in the Cang Tian Shu Lu Temple that still has some magical power.

He loaned it out temporarily only with his life as guarantee.

"No! If you want, come to the temple and get it yourself!"

This time, the bronze mirror was silent for a longer time. After a moment, it replied word by word, "It said that if this is not enough, then a method of cultivating immortality is needed."

Lu Zhangke also fell silent, like a clay sculpture, with no expression on his face.

Still cultivating immortality? If he had immortality, why would he still covet Wang Changsheng's remains, lick the immortal master's hand, and hide everywhere like a stray dog? ! "No! But..."

Lu Zhangke suddenly looked cold and continued to reply,

"I do have a secret technique copied from a real immortal talisman book, called the method of planting demons and controlling souls. If it has the courage to practice it, take it!"

…

Neither this nor that? Li Qinglin looked at the few supplies in front of him.

A book that records various strange training postures, called the weird mental method of planting demons to control souls.

In addition, there are some blood burning pills, five poison pills, wandering heart Gu...

These things look dishonest at first glance.

Li Qinglin only read half of the preface to the mental method and did not dare to read further.

I was afraid of being hit by some sinister spell that said "knowledge is a curse".

Recalling what had just happened, Wei Liang looked bitter when faced with the request for him to have a 'chain mail', 'heart mirror' and 'top-grade sword', and said that it was difficult to do.

Li Qinglin suddenly felt ruthless.

In the water palace, the Jade Yuanchan looked at the pond protecting the palace. The fine-scaled fish and knife fish in the pond had been eaten up.

Only a few false dragon fish were slightly more intelligent and sensed the danger, and would never swim out.

The Jade Yuan Chan suddenly controlled the water flow, and the broken sword suddenly became as fast as a shuttle. It just flashed on the spot, and suddenly there was a sharp sound of breaking water, and thick water mist was steaming.

The rust on the surface of the broken sword was quickly washed away and thinned by the sharp water flow.

Within, the suppressed and violent power became increasingly unstable.

Until a critical point, the Jade Yuan Chan mobilized all the water within five feet, like tens of millions of silver snakes, entwining and pushing the broken sword, rushing it towards the water shield!

Since it’s difficult?

Don’t do it then! The broken sword and the water shield collided instantly.

Then……

Boom! (End of this chapter)
