The streets of Haojing City were filled with flying ghosts, and black scales were running around in the mansions of the wealthy.

Outside the city of Lu County, Lu Jun and Lu Yi were commanding the Canglang Cavalry, the Imperial Guards, and the Yulin Army, and were engaging in a fierce battle with a group of fully armed in helmets and armor who had come to intrude.

Inside the city, Lu Yi was entertaining the female cultivator Jing Yue.

A few days ago, Jing Yue brought a gourd of strange medicine from the Battle Demon Palace back to the Red Lotus Temple. Several great monks in the mountain gate who were experts in the art of making medicine were quite delighted by this. They praised Jing Yue a lot and gave him credit for a great achievement in the sect.

Jing Yue was very proud. Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver Red Lotus Solid Pills to the front line of Anping Prefecture again, she took a detour to Lu County on her return trip and delivered a few lotus roots to Lu Yi.

"It's just a trifle, not a big deal. I've been eating this lotus root since I was little. In the Furnace Realm, it's still somewhat effective, but the closer you get to the Blazing Fire Realm, the less effective it becomes."

"I came here this time to thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a contribution. And also to remind you."

Jing Yue chattered away, and Lu Yi immediately frowned, a trace of anger welling up in his heart.

Previously, Lu Jun and Lu Yi had mentioned the Red Lotus Deliverance Pill, which was an elixir refined by the Red Lotus Temple. If an ordinary person obtained one of the pills, they could complete their cultivation in the Furnace Realm as quickly as possible and enter the Fiery Fire Realm.

You know, at the peak of the Furnace Realm, the life span is no more than 360 years, but once you step into the Fiery Realm, even if you don’t make any further advancements, your life span will be up to 800 years!

Lu Yi’s first small goal was just to live to be a thousand years old.

Therefore, he must enter the Fiery Realm as soon as possible. This is the most deeply rooted obsession in his life.

The Red Lotus Deliverance Pills passed down by the ancestors of the Red Lotus Temple have been completely consumed.

It was precisely the two pills that Lu Jun and Lu Yi took, which were the last stocks of Honglian Temple.

Moreover, according to the old monk of the Red Lotus Temple, although the Red Lotus Temple had tried every means to preserve the two Red Lotus Deliverance Pills, the spiritual power of heaven and earth had collapsed. After all, the two pills were old items left over from 30,000 years ago. No matter how well they were preserved and no matter how hard they tried, more than 90% of the medicinal power would have dissipated.

The Red Lotus Temple is using the good fortune gathered from the Anping Prefecture rebellion to restore the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, injecting it into a thousand-year-old red lotus that has been dormant for many years, giving birth to thousand-year-old red lotus seeds, and preparing to refine a new batch of Red Lotus Deliverance Pills.

This new batch of Red Lotus Deliverance Pills will be the first new batch of pills produced by the Red Lotus Temple in thirty thousand years.

Even though his technique is not as good as that of the ancient sect ancestors, the medicinal power is strong after all. It is more than five or six times stronger than the two pills taken by Lu Jun and Lu Yi?

In order to boost morale and inspire disciples to contribute to the sect in this time of great struggle for the restoration of heaven and earth, the top leaders of the three sects, three temples and three Zen monasteries of Buddhism unanimously decided that there would be no more than nine Red Lotus Deliverance Pills in this furnace, and all of them would be awarded to disciples who had made meritorious services in the battle of Anping Prefecture, generally the disciples who led the battle in the Great Vajra Temple.

After Xiong Taidou led his troops to capture all the cities in Anping Prefecture, he sent a letter to the Great Vajra Temple to commend his achievements, listing himself and a dozen other outer disciples of the Great Vajra Temple in the first column of the merit book.

"The old monks said that after so many years of the collapse of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the little money that the sect had worked hard to accumulate has been almost used up after saving again and again."

"Before the mountain gate can truly recover, we can probably gather enough medicinal materials for a furnace of Red Lotus Deliverance Pills."

Jing Yue looked at Lu Yu and said seriously, "My fellow apprentice sisters and I all dislike Xiong Taidou. Back then, he followed his master to visit the Red Lotus Temple. The rabbits we raised did not offend him, but he roasted them and ate them."

Lu Yi looked at Jing Yue and nodded slowly.

Indeed, don't offend women. Look at Xiong Taidou. If Jing Yue hadn't come running to deliver the letter, how could Lu Yi have known the news?

Lu Yu did not say much. He just asked his personal guards to buy out all the best candied fruits, pastries and biscuits in the best pastry shop in Lu County, put them in food boxes, and tie them into a huge package with cattail straw.

After tasting the candied fruit, Jing Yue smiled happily and praised Lu Yi as a "good man". She and a group of fellow apprentice sisters would remember his "good deeds"!

And when Jingyue's mount, the red flamingo with a huge wingspan, was carrying a large package that was ten feet square, and was rushing into the air in a somewhat embarrassed manner, it turned its long neck and glared at Lu Yi with resentment.

Lu Yi ignored the flat-haired beast who was obviously in a negative mood, and stood on the roof and waved to Jing Yue enthusiastically.

When Jingyue's crane flew into the clouds and disappeared, Lu Yi's face changed and he hurried to the city wall of Lu County, where he saw Lu Jun riding on a Canglang and playing with several "generals" of the rebel army like a revolving lantern.

Lu Yi snatched the spears from the hands of several soldiers around him, and with a loud shout, the spear in his hand turned into thunder, rushing out with a loud bang, and instantly pierced through the mounts of several rioters' "generals".

Several tall horses exploded, and blood mist sprayed out more than ten feet away. Several "generals" flew into the air in a panic, and were shocked by the huge force of the spears and vomited blood. After landing, they rolled over and over, and could not get up for a long time.

The rebel army was just like the day when Lu Yi first arrived in Lu County. They shouted, abandoned their general and turned away.

When Lu Jun and Lu Yi saw Lu Yi suddenly take action, they knew something had happened, so they hurriedly ordered their troops to return to the camp, and they hurried back with their personal guards.

Lu Yi repeated the news that Jing Yue brought.

"Xiong Taidou and I have a grudge. In Baimafang, Gaojing, he asked General Le Wu's nephew Le Shan to kill me."

"This Red Lotus Deliverance Pill must not fall into his hands, or all of it must not fall into his hands."
"Otherwise, the ones who got the Red Lotus Deliverance Pill would all be his sect's outer disciples. He and I don't get along, so he will become our biggest threat in the Great Vajra Temple in the future."

Lu Jun and Lu Yi thought about this question with serious expressions.

What Lu Yu said made a lot of sense. The Red Lotus Deliverance Pill must not fall into the hands of Xiong Taidou.

It would be fine if there is no grudge between us.

Since everyone has a grudge against each other, who knows what Xiong Taidou and his people will do after their strength increases?

"These days, we have also had contact with the outer disciples of the Great Vajra Temple and exchanged intelligence information. Obviously, Xiong Taidou knew that Brother Ming and our army were outside, so he deliberately asked for credit in advance in order to prevent us from getting any benefits."

Lu Jun said coldly: "Hey, where in the world can such a good thing happen? We brothers led the army out, so we must have a share of the credit... No matter who he is, if he dares to monopolize the credit, I will smash his dog head!"

Lu Jun and Lu Yi were both very tall and sturdy. At this moment, the two brothers had dark faces, murderous looks on their faces, and cold air coming out of their bodies. They were really like two gods of death who had descended to the earth. The guards nearby could not help but retreat one after another.

Lu Yi looked at his two cousins ​​and smiled, "In that case, if he can do it, we can do it too. Their next plan is..."

Lu Yi approached Lu Jun and Lu Yi and put forward his idea.

Lu Jun stared at Lu Yi with wide eyes: "If this is the case, the risk is too great for you."

Lu Yi smiled and shook his head: "If you want to live forever and make money, how can there be no risks? Just do as I say, and don't forget, only I can use this treasure well."

Lu Jun and Lu Yi looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

At noon that day, Lu Yi, in the name of military supervisor, issued a reprimand to Wang Pu's army, which was trapped in Anping Pass and could not advance or retreat, and asked him why he hesitated in Anping Pass and wasted food and fodder.

Lu Yi even stated in his reprimand that if Wang Pu could not quell the rebellion, he would apply to Haojing to send a more capable commander to take charge.

Lu Fu also sent a message that he would lead the military supervision army into Anping Pass to count the number of soldiers killed in the battle, the consumed supplies and baggage, etc. If anyone was found to have taken advantage of the situation and embezzled military funds, they would be severely punished.

After the reprimand order was issued, Lu Yi gave an order and the military supervision army that had been stationed in Lu County for many days broke camp and slowly marched westward.

However, the army under his command marched extremely slowly. Starting in the afternoon, they marched all the way until sunset, when they were still dozens of miles away from Anping Pass. At Lu Yi's command, the army set up camp and cooked meals beside the highway.

Inside Anping Pass, Wang Pu urgently summoned all the generals to deal with Lu Yi's sudden intervention in this matter.

The core point of their discussion was - Lu Yi suddenly expressed a strong desire to intervene. Is it possible that some big shots in Haojing City have noticed the behavior of the cultural and educational family, and whether someone wants to make a move against them secretly.

A group of officials and generals with cultural and educational backgrounds were making a lot of noise, but they were unable to achieve anything.

And Lu Yi had quietly arrived outside Anping Pass under the cover of night.

He took out the Guixu treasure bottle, and a drop of Xuanyuan divine water fell into his stomach. Lu Yi's soul and spirit light vibrated, and the power of his soul turned into an invisible net and quickly merged into the surrounding void.

It had just rained in spring, and the mountains and forests were quite damp.

In his mind, the image of the three-eyed god slowly emerged. The water dragon in his hand shone brightly. Under Lu Yi's feet, wisps of white mist suddenly rushed out and then quickly spread in all directions.

The Xuanyuan divine water turned into a rolling hot stream, supporting Lu Yi's actions.

Da Huang and five other old men also took advantage of the white fog and climbed towards the direction they were familiar with.

They were quietly distributed in the mountains and forests two or three miles away from Lu Yi. In the white mist, colorful mists quietly emerged and turned into wisps of light, constantly penetrating into Lu Yi and their bodies.

As the five-colored mist emerged, the area covered by the white fog created by Lu Yi became larger and larger.

There was wind in the forest, and the wind pushed the white mist, which gradually submerged the camp of the rebellion suppression army outside Anping Pass and the city wall of Anping Pass. It was like flowing water, flooding in along the city wall, and spreading silently along the streets and alleys inside Anping Pass.

In Anping Pass, the patrolling sentries cursed under their breath.

During the war, fog would rise in the middle of the night, which undoubtedly made the patrol soldiers' work more difficult. The enemy might even be right in front of them before they knew what the enemy looked like.

The leading officer could only order the soldiers to be alert and careful. No one could have imagined that this heavy fog was man-made.

In the fog, Lu Yi took Da Huang and walked towards Anping Pass step by step.

He was wearing the armor of a city defense soldier, with his visor down, hiding his face.

In his left hand he held a bamboo pole with a large flag hanging on it, and a bright red lotus was painted on the flag.

"Red Lotus Goddess, ahem..." Lu Yi shouted the slogans of the rioters, then felt quite embarrassed and decisively closed his mouth: "I'm here to kill people, forget about the slogans."
