Knock knock...
Lu Jingzhi knocked on the door, "Boss Xu."
"Um...come in."
A weak and hoarse voice came from inside.
Squeak...
Lu Jingzhi opened the door and walked in. When he came to his room, he saw Boss Xu lying half-naked on the bed, looking sick.
When he tried to sit up with some difficulty, Lu Jingzhi held him down.
"No need to get up, just lie down."
"Ahem... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I've never been so weak before."
Lu Jingzhi sat on a chair beside the bed. "Although he's weak now, he was incredibly brave last night. He was able to hold his own against a genuine Xuanwang realm expert for such a long time."
"Fortunately, I almost got caught at Qingshan Gate."
"Well, it's just that Boss Xu still needs to be more careful."
"Be more careful?" He looked puzzled and asked again, "What do you mean?"
Afterwards, Lu Jingzhi told Boss Xu what he had just seen and heard in Qingshan Town...
Hearing this, his face turned heavy. He almost forgot that Qingshan Sect was backed by Chiyu Peak. More importantly, the wife of Qingshan Sect was the daughter of the third elder, Liu Neng.
Then, Boss Xu laughed, "Jingzhi, we now have a common enemy."
Lu Jingzhi laughed along with him, "Okay, half a year later, we will overthrow Chiyu Peak." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, clenched it into a fist and placed it in front of Boss Xu.
He reacted, stretched out his left fist, and pressed it against Lu Jingzhi's fist. "Okay, let's knock them out."
Then, Boss Xu lowered his limp left hand and said, "Tonight's operation will have to be handled by you, the second-in-command. I, the first-in-command, am afraid I'll have trouble even standing up."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
After the two discussed for a while, Lu Jingzhi walked out of Boss Xu's room and returned to his own residence, where he saw Yan An lying on his bed, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
There was a space left on the outside of the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed, took off his boots, trying not to make any noise, and then lay down next to Yan An.
I smell the familiar fragrance and feel at peace in my heart.
Before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep. In my hazy state, I felt her soft body pressed against me, and I subconsciously hugged her tightly...
Akabane Castle——
Looking down from the sky, it is similar to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, with a vast territory, a large population, flat terrain, and the Akabane Mountains behind it.
This city is the only one without any royal family members. Although it is located in the Zi Tian Empire, it has been separated by Chiyu Peak, and the city lord is the deputy peak master of Chiyu Peak.
The three of them rode on the huge and powerful lion-tiger winged beasts and flew towards Akabane Peak...
Chu Gong sat cross-legged. He was very upset at the setback he suffered in Qingshan Town today. He kept Ye Jiuer in mind and planned to teach her a lesson when he overthrew the royal family in the future.
"Xu Qing, I'm very happy that you've joined our Chiyu Peak, and we'll also find a way to help you find the person named Xu Yuqing."
At that time, Xu Qing followed the two of them and left. With nowhere to go, he formally chose to join Chiyu Peak as an elder.
"Thank you, Holy Son."
Akabane Peak—towering high into the clouds, standing on the top of the mountain, amidst the clouds and mist.
Several magnificent palaces are neatly arranged on the top of the mountain. In addition, eight colorful boulders are suspended around the top of the mountain. The boulders occasionally release colorful mysterious energy, which flows into the Akagawa Peak.
A small portion will flow into Akabane Castle at the foot of the mountain. Over the past hundreds of years, Akabane Peak has grown bigger and stronger to its current size because of these colorful stones.
The lion-tiger winged beast flapped its wings several meters long and landed on the Bagua stone platform.
The three men got off the monster, and it roared and flapped its wings and flew away.
"Boss, you're back."
Chu Gong heard the sound and looked over, and saw several people wearing blue Taoist robes with a pair of colorful wings printed on the left chest, which was the identity symbol of inner disciples.
"Well, where's my master?"
The round-faced man walking behind raised his hand and said, "I saw him enter the Zen temple. He must be reciting the sutra."
At this time, the leading man took out a piece of Senluo Tianshen from his ring, which exuded a sweet fragrance. He smiled, narrowed his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and looked like a fox. "Boss, this is Tianshen. I came here specially to give it to you as a gift."
Chu Gong took it in his hand without hesitation and said, "Not bad, very considerate. I will take you down the mountain to have fun tomorrow."
"Hey, thanks, boss."
Chu Gong did not respond to him, but looked at Liu Neng, "Third Elder, please take Xu Qing to get familiar with the place and arrange accommodation for him."
"good."
Then, with his hands behind his back and his nose turned upwards, he flew to the Zen temple under the gaze of a group of younger brothers.
Chu Gong arrived at the gate of the Zen temple and saw a man walking towards him with his head lowered and holding a book. He bumped into Chu Gong.
"Oh, what a blind man..."
After seeing the person, the man's face trembled with fear, "Holy...Holy Son."
The next second, he flew several meters away like a kite with a broken string.
"Humph, you blind fellow."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the Zen temple. Inside the temple was a golden Buddha statue. In front of it was a fat man sitting on a cushion, muttering something in his heart.
He opened his bean-sized eyes and smiled kindly, "My disciple is back."
"Yes." He walked forward, bowed, and reported everything that happened today.
"This royal family is deceiving the people. We are leading them to the Pure Land of Bliss. We have good intentions, but we are being ripped off." He paused, pinching the red bead. "Once we obtain the Thunder Lotus, we will drive out these evildoers and restore peace to the people of the world."
"Master is right, but I wonder how likely we are to obtain the Thunder Lotus."
