Chapter 950: Cutting off the Tail (3)
Lu Yi stood outside the pavilion.
He was extremely handsome, even somewhat charming, with long hair and dozens of thin long necklaces hanging around his neck. They were adorned with various gems, pearls, jade, tourmaline, coral, clams and other treasures, which covered most of his body like a necklace. The young man, covered in jewels, leaned lazily on a soft couch, his body crooked, and looked at Lu Yi with squinted eyes.
The young man's aura was powerful, yet also weak.
He was powerful because of the surging Dao rhyme in his body. His milky white skin was translucent, and there were countless nebula-like acupoints flashing inside, with starlight flowing, gorgeous to the extreme. Lu Yi glanced at the young man, and his Dao rhyme was shaking. A number naturally emerged in his mind: this young man had opened up 36,884,996 acupoints, not one more, not one less!
He was weak because the cultivation level of this young man was obviously all forcibly enhanced by external forces.
The Dao rhyme on his body was so powerful, but it was like the rotten flesh that fell off a rotting corpse, and it could not be closely integrated with his own bones and muscles. How could such rotten flesh possibly exert its due strength ?
Or, it could be said that this young man's power was great, but his soul and consciousness were extremely weak, and he was simply unable to perfectly control this power.
Lu Yi looked at the young man's weak eyes and his two swollen, huge, black eye bags, felt the weak blood in his body, and looked at his pale lips... This guy, it's just luck that he can exert the combat power of a peak general level, right?
A typical dandy, the typical good-for-nothing among young masters!
"How are the soldiers I trained?" The young man looked at Lu Yi with a smile, his voice hoarse and low, weak, as if he had used up all his strength on some special occasion and howled at the top of his lungs all night, causing his throat to be torn, resulting in such a voice.
"Trained soldiers? Not bad, very good!" Lu Yi turned around, looked at those white arms and legs, and said with emotion: "It's pleasing to the eyes, they are indeed a group of good...soldiers!"
"It's really good. Not only does it look good, it's also very useful." The young man grinned, "If Master Xuanzang likes it, why don't you take a few of the ones you like? Don't be polite. The people who came to your house before were all like this. Take these girls back to warm your bed, it's a special flavor!"
Lu Yu coughed lightly, it was difficult to continue with this conversation.
Look at those panting, delicate, timid "female warriors in tight clothes". Their battlefield can only be on the bed, right? Send them to the battlefield? Lu Yi didn't know what the truly cruel battlefield in the Supreme Primordial Heaven was like, but he had seen the Five Military Offices' army sweeping the fields and holes in the territory of the Three Kings and One Venerable outside the Iron Gate... If these girls were thrown into that meat grinder, I'm afraid there would be no residue left.
"I am curious, young master, you call yourself 'this lord', which lord are you referring to?" Lu Yi clasped his hands together and stared at the young man.
"You don't know?" The young man looked at Lu Yi with some surprise: "You've come all the way here, and you don't even know my name?"
Lu Yi coughed lightly, "This shows that I, the elder, am careful and prudent, right? There has been a huge change within the Linghu clan, and I am only following the elder's orders to come to Skull Collection to pass on the message... I have never interacted with the young master's people before, and if I knew the young master's name so easily... wouldn't it show that we were too careless?"
The young man blinked and nodded slowly: "That does make some sense, is that right?"
The young man looked at the group of young girls and maids who were half-dressed and beautiful. These beautiful women, big and small, just laughed, and their watery eyes were like poisonous snakes, gently entwining the young man. As for what the young man asked, they probably didn't hear it clearly.
Lu Yi shook his head helplessly.
Well, there are people in the world who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, but the 'Jun' in front of you is obviously not 'pretending to be a pig', but is essentially a pig!
The Linghu family, including the deceased former head Linghu Ku, is cooperating with such "talents"?
The young man clapped his hands lightly: "Well, I think what you said makes sense. I think you are thorough and careful... Come on, give me some wine, have a drink?"
The little girl, Cuiqiao, jumped into the pavilion and then left, handing a large, antique bronze wine cup to Lu Yi. The wine cup could hold nearly a bucket of wine, and the wine inside was bright peach color with a faint blood color lingering inside.
I sniffed it and found the wine had the scent of peach blossoms, but also a faint smell of blood.
Lu Yi frowned and did not take the wine cup from Cui Que. Instead, he put his hands together and chanted in a deep voice: "Buddha has mercy on me. I strictly abide by the precepts and will not drink any of this wine!"
Lu Yi tried the ordinary good wine and liked it quite much.
But this wine, the aroma is weird, there is also a smell of blood in it, who dares to drink it? Such unruly young men, no one knows what weird habits they have in their daily lives, would Lu Yi dare to touch the wine they give him?
"Bullshit rules!" The young man slapped the girl's white thigh and shook his head, "Another boring one... you... uh, that's all!"
It was obvious that the young man wanted to get angry, for example, he wanted to ask the guards outside to come in, take Lu Yi down and give him 300 lashes with the stick; or, he wanted to give this thief monk who "did not accept the toast and had to drink the forfeit wine" two jars of strong liquor.
But fortunately, this young man is not completely useless.
He quickly recalled what Lu Yi had said before. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you think is wrong with Linghu clan? What is the problem? Wasn't everything going smoothly in the past two years? Uh, who is your master?"
"The head of the family has fallen." Lu Yi said calmly, "The various branches and divisions of the clan have been fighting for the position of head of the family, using some not-so-decent means, which has angered the ancestors of the clan. The nine great elders have joined forces to thoroughly investigate each branch and division, hoping to select a few outstanding people from the clan to take over the throne of head of the family."
"As a result... the deficits over the years have been discovered." Lu Yi sighed: "The elders of the clan ordered that all the clan members involved be detained, and the actual persons in charge of the various industries were also captured... Now, the elders are investigating where all these materials have gone over the years."
Lu Yi spread his hands and said, "Master, this is Master Zhu Tao from the 77th House. Do you know him? I am here on his orders to find the owner of this place and ask for a solution."
The young man frowned. "Zhu Tao? Oh, oh, Linghu Zhu Tao. He has been here before. I remember that I sent him two teams of elite soldiers. The old fellow is quite old and his fighting power is not weak. He killed the two teams of elite soldiers in three days and two nights. They were completely defeated. Tsk tsk... He is really strong despite his old age. I envy him so much!"
The young man rubbed his chin vigorously, his eyes flickering, revealing a strange smile of fascination and admiration.
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched.
He coughed lightly and said, "Sir, what I am talking about is the great changes in the Linghu clan!"
The young man was stunned: "Uh, yes, there is a huge change in the Linghu clan, so what?"
Lu Yu was a little confused. He looked at the young man in astonishment, looking him up and down - could it be that this guy is a fool?
Do you know what the Linghu family is involved in?
Counting from the time when Loulan Pass fell into the lower world, the former King of Morenzhi had already fallen, a beloved son of Linghu Wuyou, Ling Yu, Tianshu Laojun and other "important officials" in the lower world who were responsible for investigating the case were attacked on the way back to the Supreme Taichu Heaven, the imperial treasure of the Great Emperor Taichu flowed out of the Heavenly Palace and fell into the hands of the evil demons and rebels outside the domain, and the King Qi Tian was so bold that he used the imperial treasure of the Great Emperor Taichu to attack and kill Tianshu Laojun and Ling Yu...
Among them, there is also Linghu Ku's audacity, using the name of Emperor Taiyu to brazenly attack and kill the Great Lord of the Five Armies of Heaven, the former military governor of the Heavenly Court, at Tiemenguan; and the Linghu family, a powerful clan under the command of Emperor Taiyu, has seen a huge amount of resources evaporate, and it seems that they are raising a private army, etc., etc. ...
There were also some horrifying speculations, such as the Patrolling Forbidden Divine Guards might have been controlled by outsiders, the Five Military Offices might have surrendered to a new master, and the power of the Heavenly Court might have been invaded by others...
And, in your case, it's actually - 'So what'?
Isn’t this a big deal?
Do you have a powerful background, or are you really stupid?
Lu Yu looked at the young man blankly, and the young man also looked at Lu Yu blankly. The two stared at each other for a long time, and then the young man waved his hand: "Well, Linghu is suffering? Then, wouldn't it be okay to change a family head who is close to me? Just continue to do things the way you did before..."
"Seeing you eagerly running to the Skull Market and using the most urgent secret contact method to seek a meeting, I thought it was a big deal. But it turns out to be nothing more than this!"
The young man sighed, "I was almost scared to death by you. Is this a small matter worth your special trip? In the past two years, I have been wholeheartedly training troops in the Great Black Mountain. Otherwise, I would have rushed over from home in a hurry after you sent a signal... Oh!"
The young man shook his head, looked at the bewildered Lu Yi, and suddenly laughed: "Uh, by the way, what did you ask me before? I am 'what Lord'? Damn, your Lord, Linghu Songtao, is too cautious. Remember, I am 'Peony', you must remember!"
He casually reached into the chest of a little girl beside him and pulled out a Begonia mirror about a foot square. He put it in front of him and looked at himself in the mirror seriously. Peony Lord murmured, "Ah, I am indeed handsome and unparalleled, as gorgeous and beautiful as a peony... Hehe, hehe, hehe!"
Lu Yu felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
It's really weird!
'Peony'?
'Peony'?
'Peony'?
Wouldn't it be much better if you used a title like "Golden Crow", "Jade Rabbit", "Cicada", "Black Toad"? "Peony Lord", what the hell is that? And "as gorgeous and beautiful as peony"... Those unlucky people in the Linghu clan are working with a show-off like you?
However, the strange thing is that according to Shaoyao Jun, Linghu Zhutao and others seem to have a very good relationship with Shaoyao Jun in this fortress? They seem to have a very close relationship? Shaoyao Jun even gave them "elite soldiers and strong generals"?
Then, facing such torture, Linghu Zhutao and the others even revealed such private matters as the boy's essence that they lost to a personal maid when they were a few years old... It made no sense for them not to reveal the name of 'Peony Lord' and all the information about him!
There's something weird here!
Was it some kind of vow?
Or some kind of powerful restriction?
But whether it's an oath or a ban, looking at Shaoyaojun's ridiculous face, he doesn't seem like such a careful person!
Coughing, heavy coughing, Lu Yi's fingers spasmed slightly, causing the thirty-six white bone relic Buddhist beads to collide with each other, making a "ding ding" sound. He laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty's name is indeed... elegant and graceful, with extraordinary character. Then, then, I, I, I..."
Shaoyao Jun smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Continue playing the music, continue training... let two teams of elite soldiers come up and train seriously. Any soldier who still has a battle skirt and a piece of armor on his body later is not training with all his heart and effort, and I will punish him severely!"
Lu Yi went crazy.
Shaoyao Jun reacted and behaved like this... He and Linghu Tian, Tianshu Laojun and others were so cautious along the way, even blocking the news, taking a detour, using the star gate passage secretly built by the Linghu family, and sneaking around like thieves to come here. What was the reason for this?
It is obvious that Shaoyao Jun did not take the great changes within the Linghu family seriously at all!
Or maybe he was too confident and believed firmly that no matter how things changed within the Linghu family, the final situation would be under his control?
Or maybe…
No, no, no, how could Lord Shaoyao, who is able to collude with the Linghu family in the Great Black Mountain, be in charge of such important affairs, and control such a large foundation, be such a shallow person?
Lu Yi was nervously calculating what Shaoyao Jun was really thinking, thinking about what steps he should take next... The 'elite soldiers' next to him, who had just been fighting and were panting and sweating, were already laughing and joking, and ran away.
The other two teams of three to five hundred "fully armed" girls, with bright and innocent smiles on their pretty faces, looked like they were on a spring outing. They exuded a youthful, romantic and unrestrained aura and were already running up in small steps.
Armor, battle skirt, spears and halberds made of wooden sticks, and a small soft bow with a force of less than ten pounds. The arrows carried were all without arrowheads. The positions of the arrowheads were wrapped with soft fur and silk into a small soft ball the size of a baby's fist, and it was also painted with bright rouge!
Several pink flags were waving and several small drums, each one foot square, were beating loudly.
The horn made of exquisite conch shells was blown happily, "woo woo woo", accompanied by the hearty shouts of Peony-kun. The two new teams of "elite soldiers" formed a battle array, stepped on the clouds, rolled up wisps of fragrant breeze, flew three feet above the ground, and fought in a ball in the air.
One after another, light wooden poles hit the "enemy" on the opposite side. Wherever they touched, armor, battle skirts, and various clothes, which were originally few in number, flew up and fell, revealing large areas of white flesh.
"Come, come, come, Master Xuanzang, please take a seat, please take a seat... Take a good look at the quality of the elite soldiers and generals that I have trained wholeheartedly over the years!" Shaoyao Jun picked up a huge wine pot and said with a smile, "What bullshit rules! When you come to me, just follow my rules!"
"My rule is that once you come, you are a guest. You must drink enough wine, eat enough meat, and have fun with the girls!" Shaoyaojun laughed loudly, "kakaka", and he laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and tears came out of his eyes.
'bite'!
An extremely sharp sound of gold colliding was heard, like the sound of a jade chime, or even more like the ringing of a sharp sword. The sharp and thin sound of the collision was like a red-hot iron needle drilling into the ear, piercing the eardrum with severe pain, and then even the soul began to twitch violently.
Shaoyaojun, who was laughing wildly, groaned, fell off the couch with his head, and rolled on the ground in a mess.
The team of 'elite soldiers' who were 'performing martial arts crazily' were all spurting blood. Their beautiful faces became bloodstained, and they fell to the ground with hoarse cries, holding their heads and rolling over and over.
"You bastard!" Shaoyao Jun yelled, "Yueji...you son of a bitch...how dare you disobey your brother?"
A faint scent of roses wafts in the air.
White clothes as white as snow, black hair like a waterfall, fair skin and beautiful appearance... cough, cough, this word is not appropriate, but when Lu Yi saw this young man descending from the sky on a white cloud, the only word that came to his mind was 'fair skin and beautiful appearance'.
In fact, although he is a young man, he has picturesque eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of watery phoenix eyes. He has a bit of the charm of "Feng Lazi"... He descended from the sky on a wisp of white cloud, surrounded by starlight, and strange phenomena appeared in the void, as if countless white moon petals were falling lightly.
The light and timeless fragrance of roses hits you in the face, light and clear, but like a soft cloud, wrapping Lu Yi completely in it. Dense, soft, like the suffocating tenderness of a pretty lady in her twenties, wrapping your body, wrapping your acupoints, wrapping your soul...
Lu Yi groaned.
His body swayed, and he felt a little weak all over, as if countless tiny beautiful hands were gently grasping every muscle, nerve, and meridian in his body. His body was weak and he had no strength at all.
Lu Yi was shocked.
Such magical powers... such fragrance... this guy must be a direct descendant of Taiyutian!
You can use your magical powers on the fragrance. When you smell the fragrance, you have been imprisoned by the opponent's magical power. This kind of magical secret method that can hurt people invisibly is only best practiced by people from Taiyutian!
Emperor Taiyou, the most powerful 'Tao' he puts on the surface is 'smell'!
The Taiyu Heaven of the Great Emperor Taiyu is the most famous place where hundreds of flowers gather in the Supreme Primordial Heaven. All the exotic flowers in this world can be found in Taiyu Heaven. The direct descendants of the Great Emperor Taiyu are also named after flowers... such as Peony Lord, Rose Lord, etc., which completely conforms to the naming rules of the descendants of the Great Emperor Taiyu!
What is well known is that the descendants of Emperor Taiyu, his sons and daughters, were named "King So-and-so".
Such as 'Peony King' and 'Osmanthus King'.
Those who use the name "Jun"... should be his third-generation grandchildren, right?
No wonder the Linghu clan members were involved in this vortex. Haha, the activities of the direct descendants of Emperor Taiyu... No wonder, no wonder!
Lord Rose landed slowly on the ground, with a fist-sized golden bell in each of his snow-white hands. He had just struck the golden bells hard, causing such a sharp sound, which completely knocked Lord Peony and his elite soldiers to the ground.
Lu Yi coughed lightly and saluted Yue Jijun with his palms clasped together: "May I ask this gentleman?"
Yue Jijun looked at Lu Yi coldly and said calmly, "Did Linghu Zhutao ask you to come?"
Lu Wu nodded: "Yes!"
Yueji-Jun snorted coldly and glanced at Shaoyao-Jun. "Since you knew about the great changes in the Linghu clan, why did you let this man bring so many subordinates straight in here? Can strangers come in here at will?"
"Don't tell me that he must be a good person because he gave the correct contact signal in the Skull Set."
"Could it be that Linghu Zhutao and the others were tortured and betrayed us? Could this monk be someone from the Linghu clan, or even sent by my father's enemy... as a bait?"
"You let this monk come here so smoothly. If this base is exposed..."
Shaoyaojun looked grim and stood up twitching all over.
He shook his neck and looked at Yue Jijun angrily: "You, teach me how to do things?"
Yue Jijun's face turned cold. He was silent for a while and said softly, "It's always inappropriate."
Shaoyao Jun shouted sternly: "I'm asking you, are you teaching me how to do things? Ah? I'm your elder brother, I'm the supervisor here at Daheishan, you're just my deputy, deputy, do you understand? Ah?"
Yue Jijun said in a deep voice: "I just thought..."
Shaoyao Jun interrupted Yueji Jun and shouted , "I don't want you to think that I know that Master Xuanzang is fine. There is no way he can have any problems!"
Lu Yi was silently moved in his heart - this Shaoyao Jun was indeed a simple and honest person. When they met for the first time, he dared to guarantee that there was no problem with him... How did such a simple and honest person live so smoothly until today?
Yue Jijun's face turned cold: "Enough!"
The golden bell in his hand hit hard again, and the piercing sound made Shaoyaojun scream again, and he fell to the ground in a mess, twitching all over.
Yue Jijun looked at Lu Yu and said in a cold voice: "Come here, cut off all contact with the Skull Group and all channels with the other side... We can't stay in this base. Everyone must retreat. All bases in Dahei Mountain must gather and hide, waiting for orders."
"Capture this monk alive. I have something to ask him!"
Following Yue Jijun's rebuke, a large group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and with a solemn aura strode into the garden and rushed towards Lu Yi like wolves and tigers.
