Chapter 1971: Turning against guests
Three days later, in Qingyang City, inside the castle hall.
"What! You said that Master Luo was also in the caravan!"
Du Qingyang suddenly stood up from the stone chair and stared at Chen Yang who came to report.
"Yes, I didn't receive any news before. He has just entered the city and is expected to be at the castle soon!"
Chen Yang said with a somewhat flustered look.
"Just say I'm in seclusion and can't see guests!"
Du Qingyang couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while, so he could only delay it.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the door:
"City Lord, Master Luo is here today. It is not Qingyang City's way of entertaining guests if you stay in seclusion and don't see him."
As the words were spoken, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the hall. There were only two people at the front, Luo Hong and the veiled Zi Ling.
Behind them were the three Taiyi Xuanshi from Qingyang City and their trusted captains.
Of course, although they had some intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate this time, they did not completely break off relations with Du Qingyang, so there were only five people entering the hall, and those Golden Immortal captains were all standing outside the door.
"City Lord Du, I am coming here uninvited. I hope it won't be difficult for you, right?"
After entering the hall, Luo Hong immediately bowed politely.
"How could it be possible? Master Luo's presence here really makes my humble abode shine!
But, I wonder why Master Luo came here this time?"
Du Qingyang suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile.
"I heard that City Lord Du detained the person I wanted. I had no choice but to come here in person."
Luo Hong didn't play any tricks with him and directly told him the purpose of his visit.
"So, Master Luo is here to hold Du accountable?"
Du Qingyang's face darkened. He didn't want to offend Luo Hong just because of his reputation and the power behind him.
If Luo Hong continues to press on, he will not be without temper!
"City Lord Du has misunderstood. I want those outsiders only because there are people outside that I care about.
In this empty space, Luo can only use this method to inquire about the news from the outside world.
As for what City Lord Du wants to do with these outsiders, Luo will naturally not ask after the matter is done. "
Luo Hong waved his hand, still speaking in a kind tone.
"Lord City Lord, it's just a matter of letting Master Luo meet those three guys. What's so difficult about that?"
"That's right. Moreover, Master Luo not only came in person, but also promised to give a 10% discount on all the mysterious weapons brought by the caravan this time. This is already giving our Qingyang City enough face!"
"If the city lord is in a hurry to retreat, we can take Master Luo to the Xuan Dou Field on your behalf."
Three Taiyi Xuanshi from Qingyang City spoke up in agreement.
Du Qingyang couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard that. He knew that if he couldn't let Luo Hong get what she wanted today, these three people would definitely make a fuss immediately.
"For such a small matter, Du will naturally not give Master Luo a favor. It's just a bit unfortunate that someone from Xuancheng has already come and taken one of the outsiders away."
If Luo Hong came to ask for someone, Du Qingyang would never agree, but if it was just to meet him, then it would be fine.
"It's okay. I will go to Xuancheng to look for him later."
Luo Hong knew clearly that the person taken away by Xuancheng was Shi Chuankong. He had the token of the Yeyang Dynasty on him, and he did not have the blood of a true spirit. Naturally, Du Qingyang reported it to Xuancheng immediately after discovering it.
"Well, Master Luo, please follow me."
Du Qingyang nodded, secretly thinking that Luo Hong knew her limits.
Afterwards, the group, led by Du Qingyang, came to the ninth area of the Xuan Dou Field.
The arrival of so many big shots naturally attracted the attention of the Xuan Dou warriors and people working in the Xuan Dou field, and they began to guess what had happened.
"The scale of City Lord Du's Xuan Dou Field is really quite large. It's very boring in the Jilin Void Realm. Watching these Xuan Dou warriors fighting can help relieve the boredom a little."
The entire Xuan Dou Field is divided into ten areas, covering half of Qingyang City. Luo Hong couldn't help but nod in admiration when he saw it.
"Haha, if Master Luo is interested, you can stay for a while. I will definitely arrange the most exciting Xuan Dou for you!"
Du Qingyang took the opportunity to win her over, saying that if possible, he would certainly want to snatch this popular Luo Hong from Baiyan City.
"We'll talk about it later. I have to refine a few earth-level mystical instruments next, so I may not have that much free time."
Luo Hong did not fully agree to what he said.
Soon, the group arrived outside the stone chamber where Han Li lived.
"City Lord, Li Feiyu did not fight in Xuan Dou today. He must be practicing in the house."
The gray-robed young man who was in charge of Han Li saluted Du Qingyang with a nervous look.
"Thank you City Lord Du for sending me here. We would like to have a private talk with the outsider. I hope you can help us."
Luo Hong bowed and requested.
Du Qingyang had not originally expected to be able to sit in on the lecture, so he nodded happily and turned to leave.
"I would also like to thank the three Taoist friends for their help this time. Don't worry, Luo will definitely fulfill his promise!"
Seeing this, Luo Hong bowed to the three Taiyi Xuanshi again.
The three of them were immediately delighted when they heard this, and after some polite words, they left one after another.
In this way, besides Luo Hong and Zi Ling, only the gray-robed young man and Chen Yang were left outside the stone gate.
"The two of us will be waiting in the distance. Master Luo, if you have anything to say, just give me your instructions!"
Seeing Luo Hong looking over, Chen Yang immediately retreated to a distance with the gray-robed young man in a flattering manner.
Luo Hong smiled faintly at him, then ignored him and reached out to push open the stone door.
After entering the stone chamber, Zi Ling immediately closed the stone door and took out a talisman and pasted it behind the door.
"Junior Brother Han, you don't seem surprised."
Looking at the old demon Han who was gradually recovering from his power on the stone bed, Luo Hong smiled and spoke.
"When I learned about the establishment of Qixuan Tower, I knew that my senior brother would definitely come. Eh? Who is this..."
Han Li opened his eyes, only to be surprised to see that there was another person beside Luo Hong.
"Brother, have you even forgotten Fairy Zi Ling?"
Luo Hong immediately revealed an expression of gloating, he knew that someone was going to be in trouble.
"Zi Ling, it's really you!"
Han Li's main purpose of entering the Jilin Void Realm was to find Zi Ling. Now he had found her without any effort, which made him extremely happy.
Without waiting for Zi Ling to speak, Han Li took a step forward and hugged her.
"Zi Ling, I've been to the Black River Water Palace. You've suffered so much over the years!"
Zi Ling blushed immediately, unable to say the words of blame she had intended, and could only offer a reminder like a mosquito:
"What are you doing? Brother Luo is still here."
Yes, I am still alive!
At this moment, Luo Hong was somewhat unwilling to see his brothers suffer, nor did he want them to drive a Land Rover.
This was totally different from what he had expected!
"Thank you for helping to look after Zi Ling. I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's go now."
Han Li let go of Zi Ling, grabbed her hand, and was about to walk out of the stone chamber.
"Wait a minute, Junior Brother, don't be anxious. There is an opportunity waiting for you."
Seeing this, Luo Hong quickly stopped Han Lao Mo and explained to him.
"Opportunity? But I heard that Baiyan City is the most powerful among the four affiliated cities. What else can Qingyang City have that Baiyan City doesn't have?"
Han Li asked in confusion.
He knew that with Luo Hong's cautious nature, he would never have brought Zi Ling here like this unless he had the strength to conquer an entire city alone.
"Haha, Junior Brother Han, do you want to completely resolve the hidden dangers of your True Spirit Bloodline?
The reason why Du Qingyang forced you to stay was to seize your true spiritual bloodline. Since he dared to do this, he must have something to rely on.
Moreover, even if my deduction is wrong in the end, you can take this opportunity to improve your own profound cultivation by a large margin!"
Luo Hong didn't play any tricks with Han Li and immediately told him his plan to turn the tables.
"Brother Luo, isn't this a bit too dangerous? If the plan fails, I can..."
Han Li hesitated when he heard this. After all, if there was even the slightest mistake in Luo Hong's plan, he would be dead!
"There is nothing to hesitate about. With Brother Luo protecting him in secret, Du Qingyang will definitely not be able to cause any trouble!
The worst result would be nothing more than a false alarm!"
Zi Ling had already seen Luo Hong's current level of cultivation in the Mystical Dao and had full confidence in him, so she immediately persuaded him.
"Haha, my sister-in-law is right. Junior Brother Han, you only have to trust me!"
Luo Hong smiled and nodded, then told Han Li the details of the plan:
"My arrival will surely make Du Qingyang advance his plan, and there is more than one person in Qingyang City who wants to kill him. I believe it won't be long before someone will contact you.
In this regard, Junior Brother can just pretend to cooperate with them, so that I can easily put the blame for Du Qingyang's death on them."
Luo Hong didn't want people to suspect that he was the one who killed Du Qingyang, so making good use of those two traitors became an inevitable choice.
"I understand, but the black worm in my chest is still a problem. I wonder if you have any solution, brother?"
Seeing that Luo Hong had conducted such a detailed investigation, Han Li was completely relieved. His only concern was the black calamity worm currently parasitic on his heart.
“The reason why this insect is so difficult to deal with is because it cannot use its magical powers in the Scaled Void Realm. Otherwise, it would not be considered a powerful method.
It just so happens that I have some special abilities and can barely use my magical powers. Junior brother, please sit down cross-legged and I will help you take out the black robbery insect!"
After saying that, Luo Hong nodded to Zi Ling.
Zi Ling immediately understood and replied:
"I will protect you!"
Two hours later, Chen Yang walked into the castle hall and bowed respectfully to Du Qingyang.
"How is it?"
Du Qingyang asked in a deep voice.
"I have arranged for Master Luo to stay at Baisheng Tower. Li Feiyu is still in the Xuan Dou Field. Apart from being given a Xuan-level Xuan weapon, there is nothing unusual."
Chen Yang reported back immediately.
“It seems that he really just wants to find out about the outside world, but once the rumor gets out, it will definitely attract some people’s attention.
Forget it. To avoid any more trouble, it is better to use it up as soon as possible. Chen Yang! "
Du Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but even though this was just a false alarm, it still gave him a sense of urgency.
"My subordinate is here."
Chen Yang responded.
"Notify the Huben and the others to make final preparations immediately. In one month, activate the Jialuo Blood Formation."
Du Qingyang ordered in a deep voice.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Chen Yang quickly lowered his head to accept the order, hiding the fleeting excitement in his eyes.
A month passed quickly. Han Li was practicing in the Star Pool that day, but was forcibly interrupted by someone.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Li is currently practicing. What are you doing barging in like this?!"
"Haha, what a pathetic creature, he has no idea that his desperate efforts in training are only making things easier for others. Catch him!"
Chen Yang sneered and waved his hand, and several trusted captains under Du Qingyang rushed in and surrounded Han Li who was sitting cross-legged in the star pool.
However, to Chen Yang's surprise, Han Li did not resist and was easily captured by a group of Golden Immortal captains.
"Friend Li, it's not like you to surrender like this."
Chen Yang suddenly became suspicious.
"Humph, Li will not sit still and wait for death, but now is not the best time. I hope that when the opportunity arises, you and the master behind you can hold on!"
Han Li stared at Chen Yang fiercely.
"Haha, then I'll just have to wait and see. Take him away!"
Chen Yang was not angry but happy when he heard this, not only because this was more in line with Han Li's personality, but also because Han Li's behavior was more in line with his interests.
At an order, Han Li was led by Chen Yang and others into a corridor leading underground, and finally came to a large underground space.
The underground space here has a dome structure and looks like a naturally formed underground cave. Before entering it, Han Li sensed a hot breath mixed with a fishy and sweet taste.
When he got closer, Han Li saw a strange stone platform shaped like a five-pointed star built on the ground in the center of the cave.
The stone platform is several dozen feet in diameter and three feet above the ground. There are two one-foot-deep grooves in the center. There is a six-foot-high round platform on each of the five pointed corners. Each of the grooves is inlaid with an animal core the size of a child's fist.
Judging from the aura, they are all earth-level beast cores of extremely high quality.
At this moment, Du Qingyang, wearing a brand new red robe, was standing in the center of the stone platform, waiting for their arrival.
"Lord City Lord, the person has been brought here!"
Chen Yang bowed respectfully.
"Well, take it over."
Du Qingyang gave orders to the four Golden Immortal captains in a dignified manner.
After receiving the order, the four men did not dare to delay and immediately took Han Li and threw him into a groove not far away.
As soon as he steadied his body, Han Li felt a strong sticky feeling under his feet. When he looked down, he found some black gel substance in the groove. It looked like black plasma that had accumulated over the years but for some reason had not completely solidified.
"City Lord Du, now that things have come to this, can you please let me be a clear-headed ghost?"
Han Li pretended to be unwilling, wanting to know how much benefit he would get.
"Don't worry, my friend. The Garo Blood Formation will refine your soul as well and won't give you the chance to become a ghost."
Du Qingyang sneered excitedly.
After saying that, he ordered Chen Yang and the other five to enter the formation, each responsible for a circular platform.
"It's finally about to begin. I hope that the 'Heavenly Devil Prison Suppression Technique' won't let me down."
In a shadow that no one noticed, Luo Hong was watching the opening of the Galao Blood Array with great interest.
