Chapter 240: Terrifying the World (3)
Wuzhou City, southeast.
To the east of Jizhou city, in the middle of a large lake, there is an island with a radius of one hundred miles. All the men, old men and children in the seven or eight fishing villages on the island were slaughtered, and all the young women with a little bit of beauty were concentrated in the only town on the island.
The sky was gloomy and the smell of blood was rising.
The woman's cries were heard from several large mansions in the town. A man wearing heavy armor, with a strong build and a murderous look on his face, was laughing wildly and walking in and out of the mansions.
In the courtyards of several other mansions, there were also burly men in heavy armor setting up bonfires, on which they were roasting whole cows and sheep. The fat was oozing out, and the rich aroma wafted far away in the wind.
The largest mansion in the town was originally the office of the garrison officer. At this moment, all the people in the mansion have been hung on the big tree in front of the door. In the lobby of the mansion, a young man about nine feet tall, lean and strong, was playing with a handful of jewels and jade treasures, sitting upright on a big chair.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, with a handsome face and the official seal of Dayin hanging around his waist, was kneeling on the ground trembling, with drops of sweat dripping .
The sturdy young man threw a handful of pearl treasures into the open box in front of him, making a loud "crash" sound.
There were thousands of these two-foot-square boxes in front of him, densely packed throughout the hall. These boxes were filled with all kinds of rare gold, silver and jewelry, and each box was worth a fortune.
The sturdy young man waved his hand lazily: "The wealth of the secular world is of little use to cultivators like us... But I just love these glittering and precious things... Just like the women of the secular world, what ? But I just like to cuddle with them."
Shaking his head, the sturdy young man sighed, "So, our Jiqing Sect is designated as an evil sect. I fully agree with it. We are evil demons. We just like wine, sex, money, and the world. Tsk... enjoy it!"
The purple-robed man smiled flatteringly: "When I saw Your Excellency, I knew that you are a noble person with a very noble fate. Hehe, you are destined to enjoy these good things!"
The sturdy young man smiled and nodded: "That's right, I, Luo Xuan, am a destined nobleman. The beauties, wealth, power and authority in this world are destined to be mine... You have done a good job these days and served me well. I am very satisfied!"
The man in purple robe is Linghu Dun, the governor of Jizhou, a famous and wealthy province in the southeast of Dayinwuzhou.
He is a direct descendant of the Linghu family, one of the six saints of culture and education. He has been the governor of Jizhou for 19 years. With his unremitting efforts to crack down on dissidents and eliminate dissenting parties, Jizhou has become his one-man show, and both military and political affairs are under his control.
As long as he continues to work hard for a few more years, Jizhou will most likely become Linghu family's private territory, just like Anpingzhou.
But... the nightmare is coming.
Luo Xuan, along with a group of devilish fellow disciples, suddenly appeared in Jizhou's territory.
Faced with Luo Xuan's terrifying power that was as powerful as a fairy or a demon, Linghu Dun was very obedient and submitted directly. He willingly became his lackey, and helped them block the news. He placed them on a large island that was only dozens of miles away from Jizhou City. For these tough young men, the island was very close.
He even secretly collected beautiful women from the civilian population and sent them to the island.
He even packed up all the gold and silver in the Jizhou government warehouse and gave them to Luo Xuan.
In the past month or so, he had fabricated charges and used various means to wipe out several wealthy businessmen in Jizhou, and exchanged their belongings for various gold, silver, pearls and jade, which he had sent over.
In this way, he finally received praise from Luo Xuan.
Linghu Dun smiled brightly. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said jokingly, "Your Excellency, I have used all my connections and channels to purchase three thousand beauties. They will be delivered to the island in just two or three days."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. These are all carefully selected good items. I'm sure you will be satisfied."
Linghu Dun's words made Luo Xuan feel very good. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Very good. It can be seen that you really want to join me... Then, there is one more thing that you, the governor of Jizhou, need to do."
Luo Xuan was just about to tell Linghu Dun what to do when he suddenly frowned and took out a fist-sized secret treasure from his sleeve. The treasure was shaped like a conch and had countless complex patterns carved on its surface.
A wisp of smoke emerged from the conch-shaped secret treasure, and then a sharp voice came from the secret treasure.
"Luo Xuan, have you heard?"
Luo Xuan frowned and said coldly: "I heard, what? I am different from you. You are busy doing that shitty sect training mission, but I am busy enjoying myself. How can I have time to inquire about anything?"
"Well, when you say that, could it be that something interesting happened?"
The shrill voice started to chuckle.
"It's more than just interesting. It's simply, so interesting."
"Hee, Jian Wuming is dead. More than a hundred of the inner sect disciples of the Mituo Sword Sect who came this time died in one battle. Don't you think it's interesting?"
"The Demonic Puppet Sect lost four floating cities, nearly a hundred floating warships, and nearly a hundred thousand puppets of various kinds. Hundreds of disciples were killed or injured, and more than a thousand were captured alive."
"Oh, right, the three local tycoons, Xie Youqian, Xie Fugui, and Xie Duobao, were all captured alive. It is said that they were severely tortured and suffered a lot."
"The eldest senior brother of the Tianfu Sect has passed away. Bai Le, who was ranked second on this trip, was captured alive. More than a thousand disciples of the Tianfu Sect who were traveling with him were captured alive. One of our spies went to investigate and heard that they were locked up in a torture chamber and beaten to a pulp!"
"The Xuanji Sect suffered even more. Qing Minxiu died. Qing Minyu was captured alive... Qing Mindi, that cowardly fellow, wanted to pay a large sum of money to ransom Qing Minyu, but when he was handing over the troops, his formation was forcibly broken through and he himself was captured alive. None of the Xuanji Sect disciples who were traveling with him escaped."
The sharp voice was chattering happily with a great deal of gloating.
Luo Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at the secret treasure in horror. He hissed, "Jian Wuming, Qing Minxiu...are they all dead? Oh, they died well...But, in Jishengtian, is there anyone else who can do this?"
The sharp voice laughed and said, "The native spies we have subdued have already found out the cause and effect of the incident. It was the Tianyang Lord of the local native Dayin Dynasty in Wuzhou City, which is closest to you, who was the one who did it."
Luo Xuan lowered his eyes and said coldly: "He is just a native monk, how can he be so capable?"
The sharp voice laughed, "That's right , I am just that capable... Hee, the news said that I am taller and stronger than you, more handsome and more powerful, with higher cultivation and stronger strength. Especially, a few years ago, you were trapped in Qing Minxiu's formation for nine months and almost died in it."
"But this Tianyang Duke Lu Yi killed Qing Minxiu."
"Luo Xuan, you are the eldest brother of the Jiqing Sect, but you are outdone by a native."
After listening to the other party's chatter, a vein bulged on Luo Xuan's forehead, his eyes turned red and bloodshot, and suddenly he roared and rushed forward, smashing the roof tiles above his head. He grabbed Linghu Dun with his backhand, and Linghu Dun flew up with a shrill and strange cry, and was caught in his hand.
Then Luo Xuan yelled, "Which direction is Wuzhou City? Take me there to meet that damned Lord Tianyang."
Inside Wuzhou City, Lu Yi was standing outside the torture chamber, listening to Qing Min Di's screams as he was being tortured.
Yes, perhaps because of Shenzui's words, Qing Mindi really believed that Lu Yu was a master of formations. Whatever the reason, Qing Mindi agreed to the deal with Lu Yu and used a large sum of money to redeem Qing Minyu and dozens of Xuanji Sect members who were captured at the same time.
Lu Yi gave Qing Mindi a little time to raise the ransom. During the transaction, Qing Mindi and the Xuanji Sect disciples who were traveling with him revealed a slight flaw, and there was an unnecessary flaw in the operation of the formation. Shenzui, the second sword master Chong, and the corpse demon venerable went in to kill them personally.
Three senior masters who had at least reached the stage of Ning Dao Fruit disregarded their dignity and took action personally. Qing Min Di and the others were defeated miserably until a movable cloud platform, the hub of the formation, was blown to pieces. The Corpse Demon Venerable knocked them all out with a breath of poisonous gas, and the group of Xuanji Sect's disciples still hadn't figured out what had happened.
Therefore, after being severely tortured, Qing Min Di in the torture room confessed many things one after another.
For example, where are the main forces of the four sects of Yuanlingtian Zhengdao now, who are their leaders, and what are they planning.
Also, where are the eight evil sects among their twelve sects, what plans are they preparing, how many local officials of Dayin do they control, and how much territory do they control.
Compared with the confessions of Qing Minyu, Xie Fugui and Xie Youqian, Qing Mindi, Bai Le, Xie Duobao and others who were arrested at the same time, had been developing in Jishengtian for more than a month, and the information they possessed was the latest information.
Lu Yi stood outside the torture chamber and listened, and suddenly he felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Dayin, your world... this time... Tsk." Lu Yi muttered in a low voice: "However, let alone these outsiders, I'm afraid that the Buddhist, Taoist, and Demonic sects in Dayin will also be happy to see it happen, right?"
As he was muttering, an extremely brutal roar came from above Wuzhou City!
"Who is Lu Yi? Where is Dayin Tianyang Duke Lu Yi? Get out here and die...Hahaha, so what if you're tall and strong? So what if you're heroic and majestic? I'll break all your bones...hahaha!"
When Lu Yi looked up, he saw the big parrot flying around in circles in the air. In the center of the big circle drawn by the parrot, the thin and sturdy Luo Xuan, wearing an extremely flashy set of purple-gold carved armor, a purple-gold crown on his head with two long pheasant feathers inserted on it, holding a purple-gold halberd also carved with a hundred flowers pattern, stepping on colorful clouds, jumping and shouting loudly.
"I, Luo Xuan from the Extreme Love Sect, am here to kill you... Lu Yu... Get out here and die!"
When Lu Yi heard it, he understood.
The Jiqing Sect... the last ranked sect among the eight evil sects that Yuan Lingtian invaded in the first batch.
