A heavy rain came pouring down.
The entire medicine house was shrouded in violent storms and rainstorms. The green mountains and pavilions, the flashing of swords and sabers, all things visible and invisible were obscured, and it was impossible to tell what was real and what was false.
In the Discussion Hall, upon hearing the news of Zhou Huang's death, those young men wished they could overturn the sky.
"This is the worst behavior we have ever seen since the establishment of Yaolu. Even if we use all the water in the Fushui River to wash away the hatred in our hearts, it will not be enough."
Shang Qu stood at the desk, with an lingering sadness in his eyes and an impassioned voice. The blood in his body never went out, emitting a blazing light that infected people of the same young age.
"That was the hope for the future prosperity of my medicine house. It's broken just like that. How can I not feel sad."
"I don't submit to anyone but Zhou Huang."
"Kill, kill as many people as possible. All the people and monsters involved in this matter must be killed."
…
In the Discussion Hall, everyone was very excited. The young men were very ambitious. After their inner beliefs were touched, they became completely manic.
Zhou Huang was the leader recognized by all of them. If he did not speak out at this time, it would be a betrayal to himself.
"Calm down, this is already chaotic enough."
Amid the chaos, there were a few people who remained calm.
Youye had a sad face, and Shang Qu was pleased to see him raise his arm and call out, but the ending afterwards was the big problem.
Zhou Huang's father, Lord Zhou Lie of the medicine house, has already taken up his weapons and brandished them. Even figures like Cheng Yushu have been taken away.
There are already hundreds of practitioners involved in this incident. If they join in, the situation will become even more chaotic.
"What are you afraid of? Those people are really involved in Zhou Huang's case. None of them can escape."
Shang Qu and others didn't care at all. As long as there was a clear order, they could charge into battle at any time and destroy all the hidden evil spirits and monsters.
Dust Light Palace.
After Xi Fu left, the owner changed, and the medicine house expanded and staff were transferred. After many twists and turns, Qi Luo chose an opportunity to move in and has lived here for ten years.
"It's raining hard and the wind is strong. It's raining heavily."
Qi Luo's appearance has changed a lot. He is no longer the young man in his prime. He has become old, but his state of mind remains unchanged and is still as clear and pure as before.
He looked at the big tree in the courtyard, which was shaking under the ravages of wind and rain, but never fell down.
Just like the medicine house now, it looks turbulent, but its foundation is solid and cannot be shaken.
"The people below are calling for a lot of support, so I'm asking you to step forward and calm the situation down."
He Zhi, one of the five important figures in Yaolu, was also in Qi Luo's house, but he was very worried about the turbulent situation.
Even with his current power, he still feels that things are too chaotic and it would be best if they were calmed down quickly.
"Don't you see clearly? How can I show up?"
Qi Luo saw clearly that the situation had never been out of control, and said, "If that person had just spoken, the storm in the medicine house would have dissipated immediately, but he didn't say anything."
The new structure of the pharmacy was established by Mr. Chen, and the staff of the pharmacy were also selected by Mr. Chen.
This is a leader who has the final say. When he stands up, all the noise in the medicine house will stop abruptly.
But he didn't do that.
He was like the law of nature outside the rain, quietly watching Zhou Lie rushing around and allowing this farce to continue.
Why.
Perhaps, he was letting Zhou Lie vent his emotions. The loss of his beloved son would really drive him crazy if he didn't vent them.
"I just hope Zhou Lie can be more rational and not let Cheng Yushu die in prison."
It was more than just silence. The price Zhou Lie paid for venting was too high.
The entire medicine house was in turmoil, some alchemists were killed, and everyone was in panic. Only a master-disciple relationship could allow such pampering.
In a prison converted from a certain hall, each cage was filled with embarrassed alchemists.
"Zhou Lie is crazy. He actually arrested us and put us in jail."
"What is he going to do? To massacre the forces of Yaolu and give himself time to train a second Zhou Huang?"
"This person is very scheming, we have to be on guard."
These alchemists were so angry that their faces turned red. They had very high status and were rarely treated coldly. This time it was even more excessive and they were actually taken into custody.
Even though Zhou Lie's identity was very prominent, he was unable to stop their curses and malicious speculations.
"Senior, you are highly respected. Why don't you lead us to break this cage, capture Zhou Lie, and let him calm down."
Among the prisoners, their statuses varied, and Cheng Yushu was obviously the highest.
This person's power and status is no less than Zhou Lie's. As long as he leads them to rise up in resistance, he will be able to walk out in glory.
"call……"
Cheng Yushu listened to the wind and rain outside and let out a long sigh. He was not very willing to let these alchemists get close to him.
What does it have to do with him!
He didn't want to get too involved. Even if he was thrown into jail, he never thought about giving up, but going back quietly.
"Bang..."
The chain snapped and the iron door opened.
An old and decayed figure walked in. He had white hair and a vicious look between his brows. He walked like a beast king.
"Kill the three people on this list."
Zhou Lie pointed to three people, and several cultivators with cold and stern faces followed his orders silently.
"What……"
The three alchemists in the cage looked terrified. They could not imagine that Zhou Lie was serious.
Could it be that he really wants to have the final say and call a horse a zebra?
"puff"
"puff"
"puff"
Soon, the three alchemists were executed like chickens.
The pungent smell of blood filled the cage. The shouting alchemists were frightened and dared not make a sound.
"Are they all alchemists involved in Zhou Huang's case?"
Cheng Yushu was stunned and could not accept Zhou Lie's approach. Even if it was Chen Sheng, he would not kill anyone he wanted.
Zhou Lie was risking the wrath of the world.
"You bully your superiors and embezzle the spiritual herbs from the medicine house. You deserve to be killed."
Zhou Lie said coldly.
"To kill or not to kill is up to the laws of the Immortal Sect. You decide with just one word. Who do you think you are?"
Cheng Yushu argued with reason and did not back down. The Immortal Sect has its own laws, and Zhou Lie's reckless behavior is playing with fire and getting burned.
"Cheng Yushu, you still can't prove your innocence in the Zhou Huang case."
Zhou Lie didn't care at all, and even had the intention to kill Cheng Yushu.
The Zhou Huang case was an everlasting pain in his heart, and he wanted to execute all the people involved.
"Where's the evidence?"
Cheng Yushu said with his neck stiff.
"If there is no evidence to prove your innocence, there is something wrong with you."
Zhou Lie's logic is extremely cold, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
"You want to kill me."
Cheng Yushu felt the breath of death, but also felt it was very absurd.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a crisis, which was even more bizarre than dying in battle.
Just a hint of doubt! "Why not?"
Zhou Lie's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he spoke straightly.
"I have made contributions to the Medicine House, and my status and power are equal to yours. There is no evidence of my wrongdoing. If you kill me, how can I explain this to the Medicine House's alchemist? How can I deal with the subsequent uproar? How can I let the elders handle it?"
Cheng Yushu shouted, every word was heart-piercing. Zhou Lie seemed to have the upper hand, but it was only temporary and could not last long.
By the time the situation in Yaolu became chaotic and the situation turned against them, it was already too late.
"Ha... the overall situation... after reaching my current state, is there anything worth caring about?"
Zhou Lie laughed bitterly. He was already in his old age and didn't have many years left to live. His wife and children were gone and he had no hope in life. He was absolutely qualified to do whatever he wanted.
After killing the three alchemists in the cage, he used his authority to influence the operation of the medicine house.
It was a violent experience.
During this period, six immortal cultivation families that relied on Yaolu were brought down, the authority of some spiritual herb channels was taken back, and a large number of deacons and managers in office were removed from their posts.
Finally, he went to the Longxing Hall.
Just as he expected, his master and his mistress were really there, looking at him quietly, with no blame, only concern.
"Disciple Zhou Lie, I pay my respects to the teacher and his wife."
Zhou Lie kowtowed respectfully to the two elders, his white hair scattered on the ground, looking extremely eye-catching.
"Leer..."
Lu Zhu felt a little distressed when she saw this. This was the child she had taken care of since he was young. Time passed so quickly and the child had developed like this. It was really sad.
"But I feel better now."
Chen Sheng was also feeling sad, because Zhou Huang was his disciple's grandson and the designated successor to the medicine house.
Falling suddenly, everything becomes empty.
"Teacher, don't you blame me for making a mess in the medicine room?"
At this moment, there was no more violence in Zhou Lie's eyes. Instead, he looked like a child waiting for evaluation, with a hint of timidity in his eyes.
He was undoubtedly willful. He attacked the medicine house with his soldiers and even saw blood. He was extremely crazy.
"They all said that you wanted to train a second Zhou Huang, so you massacred the power core of Yaolu to make room for the rise of the younger generation. Is this true?"
There was a storm outside, and the rumors in the medicine house were even more urgent.
Mr. Chen heard a lot of news. It was widely rumored that Zhou Lie was pretending to be crazy and stupid in order to make time and space for the Zhou family and secure his position as the elder of Shangyaolu.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
Zhou Lie said silently.
"So you want to use the Zhou Huang case to clean up the core of power in Yaolu, so that the teacher can train the successor more easily, is that right?"
Mr. Chen sighed. This was his apprentice, and he knew him better than anyone else.
Zhou Lie is not a violent person.
Even if there is suspicion that Zhou Huang's case involves the calculations of the people in the medicine house, a gentler approach could be chosen.
Zhou Lie, however, chose the most radical option. It was obvious that he had some plan in mind. He wanted to re-clean the interior of the medicine house to pave the way for the next "Zhou Huang".
Otherwise, it will be difficult to be the second heir to Yaolu.
There are too many people eyeing this position, especially during the heyday of Yaolu, when there are so many talented people and so many bets from all sides, it is even more chaotic.
There was no doubt that Zhou Huang had a legitimate reason for success. He was the son of Zhou Lie and the disciple of Chen Sheng, and they were of the same lineage. In addition, he had amazing talent, so he was the one that everyone expected.
"Zhou Lie is old and doesn't have much time. It would be good if he could share more of the teacher's responsibilities."
Zhou Lie did not deny that he did intend to make trouble. He wanted to thoroughly investigate the Zhou Huang case and also wanted to do something in the end.
Moreover, this bloody charge of suppressing meritorious officials was not suitable for Chen Sheng, and he took all the blame for these sins.
"Idiot!"
Chen Sheng supported Zhou Lie and said with concern: "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
The results of the investigation have actually come out.
Zhou Huang's death was indeed an accident. It was the monster in Fushui River who did not recognize the true Buddha and caused such a huge disaster.
Follow-up.
The detained alchemist, along with Cheng Yushu, were all released.
They are indeed innocent.
It is worth mentioning that the voices of these people targeting Zhou Lie were suppressed by Mr. Chen.
The power in Yaolu was weakened after a group of people died and a group of people were marginalized, and the company became much more powerful.
After dealing with internal affairs, Mr. Chen finally turned his attention to the monsters in Fushui River.
"The Fushui River group of monsters, led by the Black Water Mystic Snake, are five foundation-building monsters with hundreds of water monsters under their command. They are a terrifying force."
He investigated carefully and found that the water in Fushui River was indeed deep. There were five great monsters in the foundation-building stage entrenched in it, and hundreds of water-attributed monsters were causing trouble. It was like a dangerous place on the path to immortality.
"We can't solve this problem with our abilities alone."
Luzhu was shocked. She never expected that the potential power of Fushui River was so huge that it could be regarded as a first-class sect.
Although Yaolu is rich, it does not have enough fighting power and cannot directly raise an army to attack.
"There are Foundation Establishment cultivators who can be invited both inside and outside the Immortal Sect."
Mr. Chen already had a plan in mind. Sitting in this position, he could rely on his own abilities, and he also had other means to borrow powerful forces.
…
Howling City.
Moling Villa.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up and work."
Taoist Dahu patted Yang Hu who was lying on the ground. This demon in the Foundation Establishment Stage was getting fatter and fatter.
Ever since receiving the gift from Mr. Chen, the man and the tiger have been living a very comfortable life, like a wealthy man, without having to fight for a few resources for cultivation.
"No, I'll just eat and drink well here, why bother?"
Yang Hu swung his tail, trying to chase Taoist Da Hu away. He was living a comfortable life and didn't want to move.
"The guy from Yaolu asked us for help. He's in trouble."
Taoist Dahu was becoming more and more at a loss as to what to do with this fellow. Fortunately, this time it was Chen Sheng who sent the message. Based on his understanding of Yang Hu, he should not be lazy.
"roar……"
Sure enough, after hearing what happened, the lazy figure on the ground turned over and stood on the ground, majestic and dormant blood revived, and with a roar, the clouds in the sky were dispersed.
"I am also a man of honor, so let's do it."
Yang Hu carried the Taoist priest Da Hu and ran across the sky as fast as lightning.
…
"You evil beast from Yehe dared to harm the pride of our Immortal Sect. You should be killed."
On Qinghai Peak, Wu Feng received a message from Chen Sheng and became furious. Since he was a member of the Immortal Sect, he naturally had a sense of detachment.
The monsters in Fushui River killed a talented person in their sect. He saw it and had to take care of it.
This is truly an obligation that we cannot shirk.
…
In the Hushengfang market, the Taoist Zhanjin sat cross-legged on the ground, refining the golden sword placed on his legs. As he breathed, this magic weapon seemed to breathe, spitting out a trace of Gengjin's sharp energy, and then inhaling and exhaling it again in the next breath.
With each blow, the edge of the sword became sharper and sharper.
“Buzz…”
Suddenly, a message came, signed by Mr. Chen from Yaolu.
He remembered that this person was the younger generation whom Fu Yunzi had asked him to take care of. He was extremely powerful and had great means.
"Do me a favor."
After reading the letter, Taoist Zhan Jin went out of the door, flying on his sword, cutting through the air for thousands of miles without leaving any trace, very quickly.
Law Enforcement Hall.
"What a great skill! Whose document is this? It was sent directly to the Law Enforcement Hall for review as if it had reached the ears of the gods."
Someone exclaimed, and after a brief moment, the new document went straight on and was placed on the case that was being processed.
"Mr. Chen from the Medicine House."
When they heard the name, no one had any objections.
"Hey, what's up?"
Lowe is a powerful law enforcer in the Law Enforcement Hall. He is serious and meticulous in his work.
"Zhou Huang was killed, let us wash the Fushui River with blood."
Feng Pingsheng, who was nearby, took a look at the document and his face turned cold.
A murderous aura emanated from the study, like dragons and snakes scurrying about, making countless practitioners feel a chill in their hearts.
This situation is a kind of empathy. The fact that a genius from the Immortal Sect was killed by a monster is itself something worthy of anger.
"These evil creatures really deserve to be killed."
Luo Wei had heard of the name of Zhou Huang, the disciple of Chen Sheng and the designated next elder of Yaolu.
I think Mr. Chen must be in a bad mood after seeing the death of such a person, so this matter must be treated with caution.
He was like Feng Pingsheng, so he called for some extra people, numbered 500 soldiers, and ran to the medicine house to wait like a large army.
