Cultivating Immortality: Start by burying corpses in a border town and become proficient!

#569 - The bloody skylight, the pursuit of the tripod

"It must be a scheme by the evil thief Dunn to lure us out!"

In Yunyi City, the True Man of Divine Silkworm was very sure of what he said!

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years!

Having just been lured out of Jiuping City, suffered a disastrous defeat, and even had his journey interrupted, when he saw the situation in the Southland, he felt that it was a sinister plot, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be true.

Therefore, we must not let Duen succeed!

Yun Yi, who had just broken through to the Void Refinement Stage, had a blank expression on his face and did not seem to comment on this.

After all, his hasty rebellion this time was actually due to the key factor that the guy on the opposite side suddenly jumped out a few days ago and secretly forced him.

Of course, he had intended to do so, because Duane's growth was too fast and completely out of his own planning framework. As long as he noticed what he had done, he would not be able to resist the other party who wanted to hold him accountable!

Put your hopes on your apprentice Ren Li?

Don't be naive!

So he simply went all out and took the opportunity to rebel in order to acquire resources and realize his foundation, and quickly reach the late stage of refining emptiness. This way he could have a foothold, especially now that the Fudong Immortal Sect had suffered a setback and there were no other refining masters present for the time being. This further highlighted his importance and allowed him to gain the right to speak.

"Fellow Daoist Shencan, what do you think we should do now?"

“Ha! Although that evil thief was cunning and secretly took back the authority of the cities in the southern land in advance, it is impossible to directly open the Hunxue Sky Window like Jiuping City and directly receive the power of the True Lord, but it doesn’t matter. This time, with the cooperation of Fellow Daoist Yunyi, nearly ten cities at once, it is enough to force it open again!”

Along with the words of the Divine Silkworm Master, one can see that in the inhumane blood sacrifice, the poisonous scarlet magic power built up with human lives rushed into the sky and directly smashed the sky above Yunyi City, reappearing the rusty scar-like gap.

The bloody skylight opened again!

Yunyi Zhenren nodded silently: "In this way, we only need to hold on and wait for the power of Zhenjun to descend, and great things will be accomplished!"

"That's right! That evil thief Du En had previously tricked us out of the city, which caused Jiuping's plan to fail. He will definitely not be fooled again this time. Humph! We are now fully prepared, and we have many beasts to sacrifice. We are not afraid of wasting time with him!"

There was hatred and malice flashing in the eyes of Master Shencan, but there was also a deep fear that lingered. In short, he had made up his mind not to leave the city but to stay in the city and fight to the death.

True Man Yunyi had no objection to this, because if he were to face off against Du En head-on, he would have no confidence at all.

——Du En's record of fighting one against four, killing two and repelling two, with the weakest of them being nearly weak geniuses who had reached the Perfect Refinement Stage, is known to the world and is particularly shocking. Otherwise, he would not have decisively chosen to betray and rebel.

As for why Ren Li could still go to Shucheng leisurely?

Otherwise, how can you conceal your purpose?

With Du En's ability and precautions, if he had noticed something wrong in advance, he would have been able to visit Yunyi City again in the next moment!

"Unfortunately, you have no choice but to let your disciple go, otherwise you can use him to threaten Du En!"

"Indeed."

"Forget it. With that villain's hypocritical attitude, I don't think he would really care about old acquaintances or old friends. Just run away if you want!"

In short, the two real men from Fudong have determined the most appropriate strategy at the moment, so that all relevant measures are being implemented at a rapid pace, and they continue to build various defense lines and traps.

At the same time, on the other side, the corpse of Qiongqi was still moving quietly, and also noticed the changes in Luoyu South Land.

"Duan, is this also part of your calculation?"

"But the Divine Silkworm is really a waste. He was frightened by this and allowed him to further control the Southland. He didn't think that this would spread the news of Yunyi's surrender and rebellion throughout the Southland, in an attempt to create chaos and guide others to follow him. It would become a completely futile act."

True Lord Qiongqi was very displeased with this and felt that True Lord Shencan deserved to die.

When the war is over, if he is not dead yet, he deserves to die!

"Humph! But that youngster also knows how to take advantage of the situation, and he was well prepared... Did he guess or sense that something like this would happen? Tsk! Should I go and remind the divine silkworm to be careful? After all, the action over there is also crucial... No, no! He wants me to jump out so that he can trace me back!"

"What a cunning youngster!"

The corpse of Qiongqi paused for a moment, and its pair of turbid white and rotten eyes looked far away in the direction of Yunyi City.

"Didn't show up?"

The southern hub city, the main hall in the center.

The work of Dunn releasing the puppets and capturing and replacing important personnel was still in full swing, but there were no signs of anything unusual and everything went very smoothly.

The enemy-occupied area of ​​Yunyi took a defensive stance, and the corpse of Qiongqi disappeared, with no sign of appearing at all.

"Master Master, why do you think they are not in the same place?"

Zhen Hong Zhenren, who still stayed here, made his own inquiries.

"Although Fudong's behavior was different before, he was very stingy with manpower and didn't even do anything casual, but now that nearly ten cities in Yunyi have been lost, even if there are Yunyi rebellious factors, it is obvious that all manpower is needed to successfully occupy and quickly operate. In this case, they should work together."

After all, if they lose again this time, the Fudong Immortal Sect will lose all the things they had secretly planned and operated in the southern part of Luoyu, and it will be difficult for them to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the southern part of Luoyu.

So at this time, the enemy should work together to promote victory for our side.

"It seems to be true, but the opponent is a True Lord after all, with a notorious reputation, so it's better not to think too simply."

Du En said this with a hint of meaning: "When the Yunyi rebelled and there was chaos both inside and outside, they watched me clean up the internal problems and have not yet cooperated with those stubborn and diehards to take any action. It is a complete waste of the propaganda they quickly launched after the incident. It is obviously the behavior of a coward and cannot be the courage of a true monarch."

"That...maybe so."

Zhen Hong Zhenren did not fail to consider this aspect.

But now his mood is still in a mess.

Just as he was about to say something, Dunn suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the air.

A screen of spiritual light appeared there, and a figure made Zhen Hong Zhenren tremble all over.

Zhu Ding Zhenjun!

Is he here to hold you accountable?

"Although my people were at fault first and their responses seemed inappropriate, but if you kill them directly because of a disagreement, isn't that a bit disrespectful to me?"

True Lord Zhu Ding's words sounded like he was asking for accountability, but there was no coldness in his expression. Of course, True Lord Zhen Hong couldn't see it. The old True Lord could only see the light in the scenery and the reason in the crowd. True Lord Zhu Ding seemed to be there in person, yet seemed to be far away in the horizon.

He lowered his head quickly, his mind in a mess, and then he finally made up his mind, clasped his hands and said, "Master Decision, according to the various rules of the sect, the commander of the Southern Land Supervisory Guard is undoubtedly guilty of a capital crime!"

"Zhen Hong, it seems that you have made a complete decision. Well, with your evidence, it is indeed difficult to blame you."

The words of Master Zhuding seemed to have a hidden meaning, meaning that Master Zhenhong had already noticed the commander's abnormality a long time ago. This was indeed the case. Not only did he notice it, he also secretly collected some things that were enough to assist in the conviction.

But the key point is that he noticed it and even knew it, but he had never shown it before!

Zhen Hong Zhen's heart sank, he glanced at Du En carefully, only to see his calm expression. He then calmed down as well, and fell into silence, following his orders.

"By the way, Duane, are you really not going to ask me for help?"

Zhu Ding Zhenjun was not here to investigate the death of his subordinates, or rather, that was not his main purpose, so after making sure that the situation was a foregone conclusion, he quickly skipped the original topic and moved on to this second purpose.

"According to my investigation, the Fudong Immortal Sect is determined to win this time, or rather, the Fudong Supreme is determined to win. This is no longer the previous small fights and games of the True Lords, but a real battle for hegemony. Even if all the True Lords are killed, as long as the Supreme has not achieved his goal, he will not give up."

"Is that so? If so, thank you very much for your reminder, Master Zhenjun. As for the matter of requesting assistance and defense, I can't make the decision here."

"As the head of the Southland and the decision-making counselor of our sect, how can you say that you can't make the decision?"

"True Lord, are you trying to alienate me from the resolution?"

“Yes and no.”

Master Zhuding acted as if he was merely stating a basic fact, but also seemed to be referring to something else. He silently revealed that he knew that Du En had thought of giving the land to Xiu Lin Xian Men, and that he had acted on his own initiative.

Zhen Hong's heart tightened again, and he was shocked, angry, and panicked. He felt like he had suffered an unexpected disaster, because he was the only one who knew about this matter, and he had clearly not told anyone! So how did it get to Zhu Ding Zhen Jun's ears?

As for Lin Ancheng's conversation, it was just a casual act. No one would take it seriously... right?

In short, although it seemed that Master Zhuding had let go of his concern for Zhenhong and the Southland, his words sounded sarcastic to those who were interested, making them feel uneasy and unable to calm down.

Maybe he was just feeling guilty and worried, so he thought too much, but Zhen Hong Zhen didn't dare to gamble. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and refute it, but he didn't do so in the end.

Because Du En did not move his eyes to look, he just remained calm, standing there, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, silently soothing the old man's mood and allowing him to regain his footing.

"If you have nothing else to do, I will go to quell the rebellion and meet the enemy."

He wanted to send the guest away without any courtesy or greeting.

Obviously, the situation revealed by the commander of the Supervisory Guards had stripped both sides of their superficial efforts and put the conflict on the table again.

"Du En, you have to think carefully. Even if you are the decision counselor, your foundation is shallow after all, and this is also true for Junior Brother Changqing. Therefore, the resources you can mobilize are actually very limited, far from the level and scale that can be mobilized in theory. But on the contrary, if you really lose your teachers and land, you will still be sentenced to death. At that time, I will not plead for you."

"From the matter of the Supervisory Guard, this point has been emphasized enough. If you bring it up again now, wouldn't it seem a bit pretentious?"

"Haha, that's right, I said too much. Anyway, as long as you ask for help later, it will still count."

Master Zhuding said this and simply ended the conversation.

Duane was left silent and thoughtful.

Yunyi's rebellion actually has a great impact, and they will inevitably be counterattacked, especially by True Lord Huiqing, who will not miss any opportunity.

This alone is already very tricky, not to mention the fact that there is the Fudong Immortal Sect, which they are determined to capture, and the Supreme Being is driving the situation from behind. If they really lose their troops and territory in the end, no, it should be said that there will not be such a situation.

Either Duane can withstand all the pressure, or he dies in the war. There are only two possible outcomes.

It wasn't that Du En would choose to fight to the end for Luo Yu Nan, but the enemies inside and outside only gave him room to fight to the end...

"Master Master!"

Zhen Hong Zhen immediately spoke up: "It was because of my misconduct as the Lord of the Hub City and my lack of food and clothing that there were so many problems inside the city. I also knew about the situation but didn't report it. I am to blame for all this!"

"Isn't the old master thinking of resigning or going to jail with those guys to wait for death?"

"I dare not! I only beg to redeem myself by making amends for my crime. I will not let down my reputation in this life. I hope the Master will approve of this!"

Zhen Hong knelt on one knee. Even an old general could still be brave, and he spoke passionately in a thunderous voice: "I am willing to issue a military order and will definitely follow the leader to kill the enemy and suppress the rebellion, and protect the southern land. If we are going to lose our troops and land, I only hope to die before that time, and let the enemy trample my dust and ashes!"

Faced with the old master's firm words and determination, Du En could only nod calmly and lift him up with a wave of his hand.

"You don't need any oaths or warrants. You just need to do your best. If it's really impossible, dying in vain will only make the enemy stronger. It won't have any meaning at all."

"yes!"

"In that case, you will guard the Hub City for me. This is your consistent duty."

"yes……"

Zhen Hong Zhenren sighed inwardly, feeling that Du En still did not trust him.

He originally thought that he could win a crucial commission, that is, to pursue the corpse of Qiongqi in this precarious time, a terrifying medium controlled by the True Lord that could only be defeated by a genius. However, he ended up getting an ordinary commission, guarding the pivot city, which was carefully considered and seemed very ambiguous and subtle.

Du En could see his anxiety and secret feelings, but he didn't say much at this time.

Originally, he did want him to go look for the corpse of Qiongqi, but another situation that had just occurred made him give up this option. Instead, he decided to let him stay in Hub City and perform his duties well.

The war is urgent and cannot be delayed.

He didn't even have time to meet his old friends outside the main hall. Duen hurriedly took the next step and soon left the southern hub city.

And just as the action was being taken here, in the distance in the Luoyu Xianmen, Master Zhuding on the second peak was twisting something with a deep and gloomy look in his eyes.

Looking closely, he saw that he was twisting a golden spark, which looked extremely domineering. Even though it was controlled by an unfathomable True Lord, it was constantly impacted and worn away, requiring him to exert strength all the time.

puff!

In the end, it still fell apart and could not be tamed or controlled.

"Interesting, Demon King Avenue..."

Obviously, Lord Zhuding had another intention in arranging the deceased commander of the Southern Land Supervisory Guard to do things, and even giving him the power to protect himself.

That kind of power can only be broken by the power of the Great Dao!

Master Zhuding wanted to take the opportunity to see the path that Du En took, but Du En used the Demon King Avenue to jump over the trap.

That could not be the path that Duen took, because Duen was not a demon. In other words, it was impossible to go beyond the fallen emperor and redefine the existence of demons.

However, Master Zhuding still gained something.

"Earlier, there were signs of the arrival of the Demon Emperor in the Qingxuan Star Realm. It seems that this was not a false feeling. As Senior Brother said, what were you doing at that time? What were you planning? And this Demon Emperor Avenue..."

He was in silent contemplation, and when he looked up suddenly, the person was gone.

Instead of just dreaming, take action.

Although Du En took the opportunity to lead him to explore various related matters and even hindered Zhenjun Chengru's secret plot, he didn't care about it because this was what he had to do.

Moreover, the conspiracy against Duen had just been exposed, and now the situation was tense between them. It was impossible to keep up appearances. In the game of interests with him, he still needed to make some "reconciliation" moves.

The relationship can be restored to the point where you can still be polite on the surface and conflicts can be temporarily suppressed.

Of course, if Dunn really wants to get all the information he has discovered, he will need to pay extra chips.

For example, asking him for help.
