Chapter 405 Aren’t You Afraid of Me?
"This Utsunomiya is indeed a man of hidden talents."
The three little ones walked out of the bronze hall, whispering to each other.
King Baoxiang was a little puzzled: "This Utsunomiya doesn't look very big, how can it accommodate a Shion?"
“Maybe…” Black Eagle King said, “It’s much bigger than we imagined.”
By sending people to Utsunomiya, they will have temporarily completed their mission and can return to Sanwangling with ease.
As for the follow-up, Li Chu and several elders of Guanghan Sect will be responsible for it.
At this time they were all watching cautiously not far away.
In addition to Li Chu's talisman, those female disciples also had various visual and audio methods left on them to ensure all-round and no-blind-angle surveillance.
In terms of supernatural powers, Guanghan Sect definitely has more ways than Li Chu.
The black-robed messenger from Utsunomiya used a long rope made from a magic tool to tie up all the unconscious female disciples. With a gentle tug, the women began to move on their own without opening their eyes, as if they were being driven corpses.
The black-robed messenger walked silently in front. He probably couldn't imagine that... life was live broadcast every day.
After entering through the small door at the back of the main hall, the light became dim and the road ahead seemed to be somewhat sloped, because Li Chu could sense with his mind that their position was going downhill all the time.
After walking a little further, you can hear the sound of water splashing.
There was actually a hidden river beneath the bronze palace. When the messenger arrived, he performed some incantation and drew a force from the void.
Soon, a glimmer of light appeared in front of the dark river. The light was getting closer and closer, and it was getting more and more dazzling. When I reached the river bank, I could see clearly that it was a lantern fish of a very large size, dark in color, with a dazzling light hanging on its head.
The giant lantern fish stopped and immediately opened its huge, fang-baring mouth.
Li Chu immediately raised two fingers.
If the female disciples of Guanghan Sect were in any danger, his Pure Yang Sword would arrive at the first opportunity.
only……
He didn't think that Utsunomiya went to so much trouble to capture these human girls just to feed the fish.
Sure enough, the giant mouth of the lantern fish opened completely, like a door, and the black-robed messenger led the female disciples directly in.
The light inside was even brighter than that in the dark river. The inner wall of the lantern fish's body was glowing with a faint light. As I walked in, I found a wide red space.
Is this a room opened inside the lantern fish? The black-robed messenger entered and sat down leaning against the wall.
There was a rumbling sound.
The lantern fish closed its huge mouth, turned its head, and swam upstream along the underground river.
So Shion wasn't inside Utsunomiya?
Li Chu looked at the direction in which the lantern fish was heading upstream and had a vague guess in his mind. Then he followed the direction with several elders of Guanghan Sect.
Naturally, he could control his sword and make precise strikes at long range no matter how far away they were, but several elders of Guanghan Sect did not have this ability. They had to stay at a certain distance to ensure that they could protect the safety of their disciples at any time.
The underground river was unexpectedly long, and the lantern fish swam incredibly fast, taking nearly an hour to stop.
Li Chu looked up and saw that the lantern fish was indeed staying in the depths of Longjue Ridge.
The real important position of Yutsunomiya is not in Huangjinzhou, but in Longjue Ridge. This is why the life and death of a doctor in Longjue Ridge can eventually involve Yutsunomiya.
Someone must have discovered the underground river from Huangjinzhou to Longjueling, and made use of it in this way, playing the game of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows".
If it weren't for the three little traitors, no one would have discovered this underground secret passage even after thousands or hundreds of years.
The lantern fish stopped and opened its huge mouth again after traveling all the way to the belly of Longjue Ridge.
The black-robed messenger led the female disciples out of the fish mouth and looked around. They found a circular pool of water. There was a stone platform beside the pool and steps built into the water, just right to lead them out.
The pool is located in an empty cave. The surroundings do not look like naturally formed rocks, but rather a space built with bricks and stones. On the walls, there are also many intricate murals, but some of them are not clear, and the style seems to be quite ancient.
In the belly of the mountain, there is a space like this...
"It's like a big tomb."
An elder from Guanghan Sect expressed his first impression, and the others nodded.
The black-robed messenger led the group along the exit passage and walked quite a distance before arriving at a place that looked like a prison cell. Standing in front of the door were two guards also wearing black robes and red masks on their faces.
"The new medicine mother has arrived. Notify them to prepare the insects and medicine guides." The black-robed messenger said coldly.
Judging from his tone, his status seemed much higher than the two guards.
"yes."
The guard agreed and took the female disciples in and locked them in cells.
The black-robed messenger turned around and walked along the passage to another spacious stone chamber.
"Zuo Tianguan, is everything going well?"
Inside the stone chamber, two people were already waiting there.
One was a man also wearing a black robe and had an old voice, and the other was a burly man wearing armor.
It seems that not everyone here wears black robes.
"It went quite smoothly. The Sanwangling we found this time was quite capable. We captured enough medicine mothers without any trouble." said the black-robed messenger known as "Zuo Tianguan".
"Haha." The big man laughed: "The monster that Zuo Tianguan found caught people smoothly, but You Tianguan found nothing. It seems that Zuo Tianguan is more reliable."
The black-robed man with an old voice, who was called the "Right Heavenly Official", snorted softly, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. I am still investigating the reasons behind it. General Beishen, you don't have to sow discord here."
The big man known as "Northern God General" chuckled.
"Yeah..." Zuo Tianguan, who was sitting at the table, also echoed, "It's been thousands of years. What's the point of still using those little tricks from the past?"
"Okay, I know you two celestial officials have a bond as strong as gold. Only we God Generals have hatred." The Northern God General stood up and said, "How about this batch of medicine mothers? Are there any good-looking ones? I have been patient for a long time, so I will go and have some fun now. When the immortality medicine comes out, I will let you eat my seeds! Haha."
Neither of the two celestial officials said anything. Feeling bored, he also walked out.
After his footsteps faded away, the stone chamber was quiet for a long time before the sound was heard again.
The Right Heavenly Official said: "Although it has been so long, I still find it hard to accept... to achieve immortality in this way. We... will go to the eighteenth level of hell."
"All of this is a necessary sacrifice to establish a true immortal kingdom of God." Zuo Tianguan said firmly: "It's okay for you to say this to me, but don't let the king hear it, otherwise... Do you still remember how miserable the death of General Dong was?"
You Tianguan nodded and let out a long sigh.
After a pause, Zuo Tianguan asked again: "The last incident was about the Dharma King of the Yanyue Sect... What happened afterwards?"
"What else can we do..." The tone of the Right Heavenly Official turned cold. "If he wants to cooperate with us, then of course we can. If we give him the elixir of immortality, the king will agree. But he was so delusional that he wanted the recipe for the elixir of immortality... There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. Later, he poisoned all the medicine mothers with a strange poison, and even did not let go of the doctor who detoxified the medicine mothers... We have already made a mortal enemy."
"Is this what the king meant?" asked Zuo Tianguan.
"Of course. The king has already spoken. He will fight to the death with the Golden Buddha..." said the Right Heavenly Official in a deep voice.
Zuo Tianguan nodded and said, "Since it is the king's intention, there is naturally no room for further discussion. However... we now want to use the Golden State to regain control of the North, and we also want to seek benefits between the government and Broken Stele Mountain. If we provoke a strong enemy like the Yanyue Sect, I am afraid that some..."
"You are not in charge of this matter, so you may not know. If it were before, the偃月教 might still be a strong enemy, but now..."
You Tianguan sneered.
"Oh?" Zuo Tianguan showed some curiosity.
"It is said that the leader of the偃月教, the Demon Sect's Feather Emperor, Yu Huasheng, is practicing some kind of peerless magic skill, and he will not come out until he has mastered it. The five Dharma Kings under him have died one after another recently, and there are only three left. The old man Bai Shigong is obsessed with pleasure. If we lure him with the immortality potion, he might immediately turn to us. Grandma Liehuo has a close relationship with the previous Yin Emperor, and she doesn't buy into Yu Huasheng. She almost follows orders but not instructions."
The Right Heavenly Official said coldly: "So what we have to deal with now is just that hidden Golden Bodhisattva. If we could find his whereabouts, there would be no need for the king to worry about this matter personally. We can easily take him down."
It seems that although they have been hiding in this corner of the north, they are quite well-informed and always pay attention to human affairs.
"I see." Zuo Tianguan nodded. "In such a troubled time, he actually dared to provoke me, Utsunomiya. He really doesn't know how to live or die."
"Perhaps he could not have predicted it." You Tianguan sneered, "When I was investigating the Yanyue Sect in depth, I did find some interesting things. For example... do you know how those two Dharma Kings died?"
"How?" asked Zuo Tianguan.
"The偃月教 is very secretive about this, and not many people in the martial arts world know about it, but I still found some clues and pieced together the general situation..."
The Right Heavenly Official said: "Earlier, they probably had a plan in their sect. The five Dharma Kings stirred up the situation in all directions of the Heluo Dynasty to build momentum for Yu Huasheng's exit. Among them, the plan of Lord Canghai was to destroy Shenluo City. In fact, it was going quite smoothly. Who knew..."
"A little Taoist priest suddenly appeared on the way."
"Little Taoist priest?"
"Yes, a young Taoist priest from Jiangnan named Li Chu, not very old. His appearance in Shenluo City was quite impressive. Lord Canghai had already summoned the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Symbols, and was about to freeze Shenluo City, but he was stopped by him and the monks from the White Dragon Temple. Afterwards, Lord Canghai seemed to seek revenge on him, and that's how he finally died."
"How can a little Taoist priest have such achievements? Could he be the reincarnation of a great man?" Zuo Tianguan was a little suspicious.
"Probably." The Right Heavenly Official said, "I don't know the details, but I also know that the Wooden King was most likely killed by this little Taoist priest..."
"Oh?" Zuo Tianguan was slightly surprised.
"The Wooden King was doing things in Southern Xinjiang, and it was going smoothly. But after he met the young Taoist priest, he wanted to avenge Lord Canghai, and tried to get rid of the young Taoist priest by trickery, which caused him to provoke the God of Death..."
"His last move seemed to be trying to threaten the young Taoist priest to hand over something... Soon after, news of his death spread."
“This…” Zuo Tianguan took a breath, “I heard that the Wooden King was extremely cautious and almost no one knew where his real body was. Yet he was still killed. This is really scary.”
"Yes." The Right Heavenly Official said, "There is really no logic to the talent of the world. You and I are immortal and have practiced for thousands of years, but our progress is getting slower and slower. In the past thousand years, we have hardly made any progress. However, some people can reach the pinnacle of the world in just a hundred years of practice..."
"We'd better be careful to avoid such people." Zuo Tianguan was still frightened.
"That's right." You Tianguan also agreed. "I specifically looked up more about this little Taoist priest. It is said that he is extremely handsome, almost not like an ordinary person. He hates evil and is very keen on killing evil spirits. His cultivation is so high that no matter what kind of enemy he kills, he only needs to strike with one sword, and all of them will die with one sword."
“Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?” Zuo Tianguan said in surprise, “We have lived for thousands of years and have seen all kinds of unparalleled geniuses, but no one can say that he can destroy all enemies with one sword.”
"I didn't make this up. Anyway, up to now, no one has ever seen anyone who can make him use his second sword." The Right Heavenly Official said, "In short, if you meet a handsome Taoist priest with a sword that carries fire, you should stay away from him as soon as possible."
Zuo Tianguan said: "I understand."
Before he finished his words, there was a loud rumbling noise, and it seemed that there was a big earthquake outside.
The two celestial officials looked over at the same time.
"what happened?"
…
But let’s talk about the Northern God General.
After leaving the stone chamber, he walked leisurely to the outside of the cell.
When the two guards saw him, they immediately nodded, "Master Divine General."
"Hehe." The Northern God laughed twice and walked in.
There were more than a dozen iron cages reinforced with talismans on both sides, and ten girls were locked in them. At this time, they were all awake, and when they saw him come in, they immediately looked at him.
“Hahaha…” The Northern God General laughed lewdly, “You probably don’t know what fate you will face next. I am the first to come, but I won’t be the last. Be afraid, struggle, beg for mercy! I like to see your scared and helpless expressions when facing humiliation the most…”
While saying perverted words, he turned his gaze to the woman in the first cell.
The girl looked at him calmly, expressionless.
"Hmm?" General Bei frowned, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
I'm really not afraid.
"Boring..." He turned his eyes and glanced at the second woman, and then...he met a pair of calm faces with the same look.
She was not pretending to be calm, there was no panic in her eyes, and there was even a hint of wanting to laugh.
Eh? "That's weird." The Northern God General muttered and turned his attention to the next person.
After all ten people looked at it one by one, the Northern God General touched his head.
"What's going on... aren't you afraid of me?"
In the past, when the girls were caught, they would cry for half a day as soon as they opened their eyes. When they saw him coming to beat them, they almost turned into desperate lambs. Such a strange collective calmness has never been seen in many years.
The Northern God General could not find pleasure, but felt angry instead: "I will go in one by one, I want to see if you are really not afraid!"
After saying this, he was about to open the first cell and commit violence in anger! At this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound above his head.
A sudden realization arose in the heart of the Northern God General that something terrifying was coming towards him.
"this……"
He looked up and saw a rainbow light piercing through the stone wall!
In an instant, he understood.
Since they are not afraid...then I should be the one who is afraid! (End of this chapter)
