Chapter 176 Bad News From the Front

After Mu Bingyun left.

Lu Changan began to think about how to deal with Brother Zhuo.

He had previously analyzed that Brother Zhuo was removed from the Lihuo Palace, and there should be no soul lantern left in the force's official account.

However, as the black glove of the Lihuo Palace cultivator, this person may have connections with higher-ups, so he must be just in case. Once it dies, other means of induction cannot be ruled out.

At least, Senior Brother Zhuo cannot die at this time.

It is best to show up on another occasion at a certain time in the future, and then die. In this way, we can distance ourselves from Wu Qishan and Lu Changan.

As for those who take the blame, let nature take its course and don’t force it.

Otherwise, it’s easy to add unnecessary unnecessary unnecessary unnecessary frivolity.

"half year later."

Lu Changan set a death date for Senior Brother Zhuo, at least half a year later, or maybe a year later.

The trophies on Brother Zhuo were valuable, but very few of them were useful to Lu Changan.

The prototype of the Golden Dou magic weapon was obviously stolen property and could not be used blatantly.

Lu Changan has a prototype of a magic weapon that has been cultivated and tempered for many years. It is more suitable than this one and consumes less money.

Generally, only those with deep magic power or outstanding spiritual consciousness in the later stages of foundation building can control the prototype of a magic weapon.

Those two quasi-third-level talismans, one for attack and one for escape, can be regarded as expanding Lu Changan's talisman library.

This kind of quasi-third-level talisman is not suitable for cultivation due to the difference in refining techniques and materials.

Quasi-third-level talismans, corresponding to fake elixirs, are often born in two ways.

First, the refining skills are not enough, and third-level materials are used to draw the talisman, which is downgraded to quasi-third level.

Secondly, the craftsmanship is up to standard, using the fur of a quasi-third-level monster beast.

When a monster is promoted to the third level, it is similar to how humans form elixirs. They need to condense inner elixirs in their bodies.

A low-quality inner elixir is equivalent to a human fake elixir monk, and is considered a quasi-third-level monster.

"With the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill, if you are destined to make an elixir in the future, and you have the extra Crystal Condensation Pill, you can consider the Earth Rock Rat."

Lu Changan said thoughtfully.

The monster beast attacks the third level and condenses the inner elixir, which is similar to that of human monks.

Therefore, Crystal Condensation Pill is also useful for Earth Rock Rats.

Crystal Condensation Pill is specially adapted for human monks, and the effect of taking it on monsters and monsters will be compromised.

There are many types of monsters, and the smaller the difference between them and human life, the closer the effect of taking Crystal Condensation Pill will be.

If the rat demon takes the Crystal Condensation Pill, the effect will not be bad.

After all, many human drugs are tested on mice.

In the past, Lu Changan had not found his own elixir-forming object, and Earth Rock Rat was only considering the third level.

If there is a surplus of crystal elixirs in the future, Earth Rock Rat can guarantee the fake elixirs and have a slight chance of becoming a third-level great demon.

…

Now, Senior Brother Zhuo is tied underground near the north of Wuqi Mountain.

Underground rocks have a strong isolating effect on spiritual consciousness.

Without knowing the specific location, even if Master Jie Dan flew by nearby, he would not be able to notice it.

The Earth Rock Rat is responsible for guarding and maintaining Senior Brother Zhuo's nutritional supply with Bigu Pills.

Due to the restraint, this person did not even have the ability to commit suicide.

Lu Changan was determined to interrogate Senior Brother Zhuo, but considering the information about the appearance of the "Night Fisherman" and the possibility of a monk visiting Lihuo Palace in the near future, he put the matter aside for the time being.

Three days later.

Song Wenshu led two Lihuo Palace monks to Wuqi Mountain to collect intelligence and track down the "night fisherman".

The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain actively cooperated and provided clues.

Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi answered truthfully what happened that night.

Lu Changan only concealed the subsequent capture and killing of Senior Brother Zhuo.

After the routine.

Song Wenshu was a guest at Xiaogui Peak, and he was accompanied by three peak masters, Lu Changan.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is a 'night fisherman' committing crimes around Wu Qishan Mountain, almost injuring your junior. This is Song's dereliction of duty!"

During the private conversation, Song Wenshu expressed his apology and lowered his attitude.

In order to strengthen the security around Wuqi Mountain, Lu Changan had given him some spiritual stones before, and they had a slight friendship.

Song Wenshu's words and deeds made Shi Manrong and others more fond of him.

The monks in the Lihuo Palace have a superior status outside and rarely use false words to the casual cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Song is serious. After all, this is a special period, and your palace has limited manpower."

Lu Changan said politely.

If he hadn't known the truth, he might have been moved by this person's words.

"Three peak masters, please be at ease. Song will further strengthen patrols near Wuqi Mountain in the future..."

Song Wenshu comforted him.

"By the way, Lihuo Palace is planning to increase the reward for the 'Night Fisherman'. Are you three interested in participating?"

After chatting for a while, Song Wenshu mentioned it casually.

Only Lu Changan understood that Song Wenshu's words were to test his tone.

Test their determination to pursue the "Night Fisherman".

"Sigh, Mr. Lu has no confidence in arresting such a famous thief. When he used Ji to lure Jie Xiu that night, he didn't know his identity. I'll be lucky if I don't have this person thinking about revenge when I go out in the future."

Lu Changan smiled bitterly.

Shi Manrong said regretfully: "The thief escaped with serious injuries that night, which made him wary. If he wants to arrest him in the future, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again..."

Song Wenshu remained calm, seeing that the three peak masters had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter.

After sitting at Xiaogui Peak for two quarters of an hour, Song Wenshu stood up and left.

The three peak masters, Lu Changan, sent Song Wenshu outside the cave.

Ye Fei sighed with emotion: "This fellow Taoist Song is gentle and elegant. He doesn't take pride in his status, but he is a trustworthy person."

Lu Changan smiled and nodded, and did not talk more about this topic.

Shi Xianzi had a deeper relationship with him, and had a vague intuition.

Lu Changan was as polite to Song Wenshu this time, but seemed to lack the interest and sincerity in making friends with him in the past.

…

Half a month after the monk from Lihuo Palace left.

Lu Changan finally went to the underground north of Wuqi Mountain and tried to interrogate Senior Brother Zhuo.

In a dark underground cave.

Senior Brother Zhuo's face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Until he saw Lu Changan, his pupils shrank and he didn't show any shock.

These days, Senior Brother Zhuo is being guarded by the Earth Rock Rat, and he has some speculations about this.

Lu Changan unlocked part of his restraints and regained his ability to speak.

"Brother Zhuo, answer some questions honestly, and Mr. Lu will give you a treat."

Lu Changan said frankly.

"Lu Chang'an, do you know Zhuo's identity? Kill me if you can! By then, the entire Wu Qi Mountain will be buried with him!"

Senior Brother Zhuo was startled for a moment, his expression was cold, and he said with a sinister smile.

"It's not a small tone."

Lu Changan was slightly surprised. Could it be that this person really had some background?

"What a joke! If you have such energy, why would you hide your head and show your tail and wander outside as a calamity cultivator?"

"Hmph! Zhuo is a descendant of the elder of Lihuo Palace. If you don't believe it, go ask Song Wenshu."

Senior Brother Zhuo sneered.

"Descendants of the elders of Lihuo Palace? Lu has never heard of any powerful elder in Lihuo Palace whose surname is Zhuo?"

Lu Changan was dubious.

The elders of Lihuo Palace are the lowest cultivation level True Alchemy monks, most of them are ordinary elders and outer sect elders.

There are only a handful of truly core elders.

Lu Changan was basically familiar with these big figures since he had practiced in Liang for more than a hundred years.

Senior Brother Zhuo fell into silence, either because he had something unspeakable to hide, or because he was deliberately creating a mystery, and did not go into details about his origins.

Lu Changan did not force himself.

This person was seriously injured and currently has no power. Apart from his will and vision, he is quite a mortal and his body cannot withstand the torture.

Besides torture, Lu Changan had many other options.

A few more days passed.

Lu Changan did not give Senior Brother Zhuo the Bigu Pill, leaving him hungry, weak and confused.

In this state, Lu Changan cast the "Ecstasy Spell" to successfully catch him.

call!

In just a moment, Senior Brother Zhuo woke up from the "Ecstasy Spell". After all, he had fallen from his peak in the late stage of foundation building and had a good will.

"Who are you? In the middle stage of foundation building, your spiritual consciousness is so great..."

Senior Brother Zhuo broke into a cold sweat and looked at Lu Changan in disbelief.

In the Lihuo Palace, only the golden elixir seeds can have such powerful spiritual consciousness in the later stages of foundation building.

Lu Changan smiled and said nothing, fed him a Bigu Pill, and set the restriction again to make sure that nothing was missing.

In the brief moment just now, he used the ecstasy spell to ask several questions from Senior Brother Zhuo.

…

Returning to Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan thought for a long time.

Senior Brother Zhuo's original name was "Zhuo Yangping", and he was actually the great-grandson of a powerful elder from Lihuo Palace.

Many years ago, this person committed a crime within the sect and raped several female disciples, including an inner sect disciple who was a fake elixir, through coercion and inducement.

After the incident was exposed, Brother Zhuo fled in fear of crime.

The powerful elder hated evil as much as he wanted to, and threatened to kill his relatives out of righteousness.

In the end, the law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace "killed" Senior Brother Zhuo outside and settled the matter.

From then on, Brother Zhuo lost his name in Lihuo Palace and became anonymous. He walked in the gray area with different identities, colluding with the monks in Lihuo Palace and acting as a black glove.

According to Brother Zhuo's answer, the powerful elder had no intention of keeping his great-grandson alive.

It was a deputy hall leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, or to please the powerful elder, or for other purposes, he took it upon himself to secretly protect Senior Brother Zhuo.

This deputy hall leader happens to be Song Wenshu’s elder.

Over the years, a considerable part of the wealth that Brother Zhuo robbed and the female cultivators were used to honor each other.

"The great-grandson of Elder Jie Dan, this relationship is important, neither close nor far..."

After learning the truth, although Lu Changan felt scared, he felt confident.

Senior Brother Zhuo's background is indeed not small, but it is far from being a top one.

His identity is far inferior to that of the direct disciples of Palace Master Lihuo and law enforcement elders.

The Nascent Soul Lord in the Lihuo Palace is the Supreme Elder and basically doesn't care about the sect's secular affairs.

If it involves the direct descendants or direct disciples of True Monarch Yuanying, who have a background that is beyond the understanding of Lu Changan's previous life, he will not consider it at all and run away directly, or even stay away from the Liang Kingdom.

…

Two months passed by in a flash.

There was no response from Lihuo Palace. During this period, Song Wenshu indeed stepped up patrols around Wu Qi Mountain.

The public security environment nearby has been improved.

This day.

Lu Changan received a letter from Jin Yungu.

Zhang Tieshan and Lin Lu were both fighting in neighboring countries, and the owner of the letter was Zhao Siyao.

Zhao Siyao revealed in the letter that the sect was about to recruit a second batch of monks to fight in the Feng Kingdom.

Lu Changan guessed that Zhao Siyao might be on the list of the second batch of monks to fight.

At the same time, the letter also brought bad news, or bad news, from the Fengguo frontline battlefield.

Update on the 17th will be delayed. (It’s too late to reply. I’m not in the mood to write. Go to bed early and try to be earlier tomorrow.)
