A strong wind suddenly blew up, and Xiong Taidou's huge body fell heavily to the ground.

It's just wind, but no wind blade.

Lu Yi blocked Anping Pass just for the Red Lotus Deliverance Pill, and he had no intention of completely killing Xiong Taidou.

Taidou Xiong is not without foundation in the outer sect of the Great Vajra Temple.

As the chief of the first half of the Anping Prefecture plan, this is a lucrative position that can accomplish great things and bring in a lot of money. Xiong Taidou was able to take this position, which shows that he also has a strong backer to support him.

Kill him? Maybe he could, but Lu Yu thought to himself that in the eyes of the Buddhist high-ranking officials, his weight was not as important as Xiong Taidou. If he killed him rashly, Lu Yu would not be able to bear the consequences.

Therefore, Xiong Taidou's chest was shaken by the strong wind, a stream of blood came out from the corner of his mouth, and his hands and feet became weak. It took him a while to stand up in a rather embarrassed manner with the help of several outer sect disciples.

“Good trick.”

Xiong Taidou looked at the small windmill in Lu Yi's hand with fear.

"Is this something Lu Yu gave you?" Xiong Taidou snorted in jealousy, "He is one of the few inner disciples from the secular world that the Great Vajra Temple has accepted over the years... So, I heard that he got some good things."

With a cold snort, Xiong Taidou stood up straight and stared at Lu Yi fiercely: "Come out. What do you want to do? You have delayed the sect's plan. How do you want to die?"

Lu Yi waved the windmill gently and laughed.

"How do I want to die? Tsk, have I delayed the sect's plan?"

"Brothers Lu Jun and Lu Yi have told me about the sect's plan. In the first half of the Anping Prefecture incident, you used the name of the Red Lotus Goddess to stir up chaos throughout Anping Prefecture, then broke out of Anping Pass and spread the unrest to several surrounding prefectures and counties."

"In fact, Anping Prefecture is only 8,000 miles away from Gaojing. If the rioters can appear under the city of Gaojing and make a move, the effect will be better."

"However, the second half of the Anping Prefecture plan is for my uncle Lu Yu to lead the army and drive the Anping Prefecture's insurgents back to Anping Prefecture. Afterwards, the two sides will fight and attack with Anping Pass as the boundary, maintaining a situation where neither side wins nor loses."

"From then on, Anping Prefecture completely became a paradise for Buddhists. We can steadily collect a share of Anping Prefecture's faith and cut off its fortune."

"And my uncle, because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, will be able to continuously improve his status and influence in the court, and once again gain a share of Dayin's orthodox fortune from the court."

Xiong Taidou said sternly: "At this moment, you are guarding Anping Pass. My people cannot leave the pass. You have destroyed the sect's plan."

Lu Yu rolled his eyes at Xiong Taidou and said, "How stupid are you? That's right, I strangled Anpingguan and your people can't leave the pass. This is your incompetence, can you blame me?"

"As for the sect's grand plan... Is there a big difference between my uncle defeating you and forcing you back to Anping Prefecture and me defeating you and blocking you in Anping Prefecture?"

"Aren't the final results exactly the same?"

Xiong Taidou felt dizzy and was confused by Lu Yi's words.

He pointed at Lu Yi and shouted, "Stop making trouble. In short, if you don't get out of the way... the sect's plan is to have your uncle Lu Yu come to suppress the rebellion. What's the point of you interfering here?"

Lu Yu smiled and took two steps forward: "What's that? It's just four Red Lotus Deliverance Pills!"

Lu Yi squinted at Xiong Taidou and said, "Once I get the stuff, I will go into battle myself and be beaten up by the rioters and masters. Then my army will collapse and clear the way. Then you can rush out of Anping Pass with your people and do whatever you want."

"My uncle Lu Yu volunteered to avenge me and brought people to fight you."

"But don't I have four genuine, freshly-made Red Lotus Deliverance Pills? I've taken over Anping Pass, what can you do to me?"

Lu Yu grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth to Xiong Taidou.

"You!" Xiong Taidou hissed, "How dare you do such a thing?"

"I dare you!" Lu Yi looked at him coldly, "You knew I brought people here, so you were so busy that you even sent a letter to the sect asking for credit, right? You took all the Red Lotus Deliverance Pills at once. Tsk tsk, you have the ability to ask for such a high price. Just rely on your own ability to pass Anping Pass!"

Xiong Taidou's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Do you think I can't do it?"

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, then he raised the small windmill in his hand and said slowly: "I bet you can't do it."

Xiong Taidou was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed grimly: "Guess what, if I report our previous conversation to the elders of the sect and say that you maliciously sabotaged the sect's plan!"

Lu Yu smiled at Xiong Taidou and said, "I killed Xiong Dingtian, who you don't know is your nephew or nephew's grandson. We have a personal grudge. The elders of the sect can only believe half of what you say, right?"

"Even if they all believed you... guess which one the sect would trust more, an outer disciple who has been granted the title of 'Duke' in the court of Dayin and is a trusted confidant of the emperor, or an outer disciple who can only run around in the wilderness sweating and doing dirty work?"
"If you want to talk about credit, I also have some credit."

"I bought the address of the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple in Gaojing City. It is now under my name, and the outer courtyard of the temple is being rebuilt."

"The Battle Demon Hall used a strange potion to create a batch of puppets to kill the rioters you instigated and completely put down the rebellion. I also discovered their plan. The potion has been sent to the Red Lotus Temple and has been praised by the great monk of the Red Lotus Temple."

"Not to mention, I killed Wang Pu in one battle, and also killed hundreds of demons around Wang Pu who 'offended the dignity of our Vajra Temple', and completely took control of the army to suppress the rebellion. This allowed us to completely seize the initiative on the battlefield."

"Compared to your hard work and this achievement, who do you think deserves more credit?"

Lu Yu looked at Xiong Taidou with a sullen face and said, "Not to mention, in terms of financial resources, qualifications, and all aspects, I have a better future than you! You may spend your whole life wandering around in the outer sect, but I may rise to the top in the inner sect!"

"You can complain any way you want!"

Lu Yu drooped his eyelids and said quietly, "I believe that the high-ranking officials of the Buddhist sect can compare who is more important between you and me, and whether the four Red Lotus Deliverance Pills should be given to me."

Xiong Taidou gritted his teeth and said, "You want to blackmail the sect? You will not end up well, Lu Yi!"

Lu Yi smiled at him and said, "No, I am just blackmailing you! Besides, what am I afraid of? I have figured it out. In this era of great contention, I am also one of the people whose fortunes are being fought over... Do you know? I am one of the people whose fortunes are being fought over, and you are just a tool running around outside to help fight for the fortunes!"

Xiong Taidou took a big step back.

Lu Fu's words hit the nail on the head.

Therefore, Xiong Taidou was older than Lu Yu, and he believed that his qualifications were not worse than Lu Yu. However, Lu Yu entered the inner sect of the Great Vajra Temple and became a true disciple, while he could only be a Dharma protector in the outer sect!

Why?

Perhaps it was because Lu Yu had already been rewarded with the title of Marquis of Tian'en for his meritorious service in saving the emperor at that time?

At that time, Xiong Taidou was just a commoner who came from a folk martial arts school and was madly seeking immortality.

"Tomorrow, I will go all out to attack the city." After a moment of silence, Xiong Taidou sneered, "If you want to take it from me..."

Lu Yi interrupted Xiong Taidou and said slowly, "Lu Jun and Lu Yi told me that the elders of the sect said that in the Anpingzhou plan, when the disciples of the Great Vajra Temple belonging to the two camps meet, they are not allowed to really fight."

"Attack the city with all your strength? You dare to disobey the sect's order and attack the city with all your strength?" Lu Yi laughed and shook his head: "It's a joke!"

Xiong Taidou's face turned pale.

He clenched his fists, stared at Lu Yi fiercely, and suddenly grinned: "Without the power of outer disciples, I bet you can't defend Anping Pass!"

Lu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. Four Red Lotus Deliverance Pills are good for you, me and everyone else. If you don't have any, you can just stay outside Anping Pass. However, the longer you are stuck, the more incompetent you will appear. You better think about it carefully."

Lu Yi turned and left.

He spun the small windmill in his hand, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, carrying him up to a height of dozens of feet. It drew an arc, floated over the hill, and landed far away at the foot of the mountain. Then, after a few flashes, the figure disappeared.

Xiong Taidou looked towards Anping Pass with a gloomy look, and suddenly sneered: "Tomorrow, restrain the outer disciples and don't let them take action. Let those peasants fight to the death! Hehe, if too many of these peasants are killed or injured, I wonder how Lu Yi will explain to the sect!"

Xiong Taidou sneered for a long time, turned around, and was about to leave with a few outer disciples when he saw that in the rebel camp under his command to the west of Anping Pass, hundreds of camps storing food and fodder had inexplicably started a raging fire.

The fire was also extremely strange, with an astonishingly high temperature, and it burned the food and fodder very quickly. Xiong Taidou cursed angrily, and before he and a group of outer disciples could rush back to the camp, the food and fodder in more than a hundred camps were burned to ashes.

Before Xiong Taidou could recover from the anger of losing all the food and fodder for the march, it was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. The weapon fires in the camp started to catch fire one after another.

Ladders, battering rams, crossbows, catapults, shield carts, arrows, etc., all heavy equipment used in siege were burned to ashes.

Xiong Taidou was so angry that he started cursing in the camp, scaring the outer disciples so much that they dared not speak.

The next day, the rioters under Xiong Taidou's command were unable to get a bite of food, and he was unable to send anyone to attack the city.

On the third day, Xiong Taidou ordered the transportation of grain and fodder from the counties near Anping Pass in Anping Prefecture. As a result, just as the grain transport team set out, tens of thousands of grain carts were burned to ashes in one night.

On the fourth day, the counties in the rear could not even gather enough carts to transport grain, let alone transport grain to Anping Pass.

The rioters were so hungry that they were weak and powerless, and Xiong Taidou naturally would not let them attack the city on an empty stomach.

On the fifth day, Xiong Taidou had no choice but to write a long letter about the incident here and send it back to the Great Vajra Temple.
