Chapter 616: Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse, Succession to the Throne (4k6, Please Subscribe)

"It's just a last-ditch resistance."

Zhuang Shou changed his image of a good guy in front of Wei Tu and Zhu Zongzhu. His face was very cold and murderous.

Disobeying the sect's orders and engaging in separatist behavior was something that any high-level official of Jishan Sect could not tolerate openly.

However, this also suited his wishes.

Without this move, he would have received Zhu Zongzhu's decree to slaughter these disciples and old friends of Feng Han, and their family bloodline, which would inevitably lack some legitimate reasons and appear a little cruel.

After the voice fell, Zhuang Shou turned his head and looked at Wei Tu. After getting Wei Tu's approval, he flipped his right palm, took out a vermilion token, and entered several spells into it.

The next moment.

The vermilion token emitted a spiritual light and landed on the array light shield of Linglu Peak.

In an instant, this thick array light shield, like spring sun melting snow, quickly melted and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The decree of the Venerable?"

Seeing this scene, the faces of the cultivators in the Merit Hall who were waiting in formation suddenly changed slightly, knowing what a stupid thing they had done.

If it was only Sect Master Zhu who gave the order, they in the Merit Hall could still resist a little, after all, there were many "disciples of Feng Han" who were leading the way at the moment who could give advice to Venerable Han Yue.

The sect is about human feelings, not just fighting and killing.

As long as Venerable Han Yue showed mercy, even if Feng Han really committed the serious crime of attacking and killing his fellow disciples as the "house seizure order" said, the Merit Hall could be preserved as completely as possible.

The case of only executing the main culprit is not non-existent in the history of Jishan Sect.

But now, Zhuang Shou held the "Venerable Decree", which meant that the way they could use to save themselves and ask Venerable Han Yue for mercy had been directly blocked by Zhuang Shou and Wei Tu.

In this case, if they continued to resist stubbornly, it would undoubtedly be a crime.

After all, many of them were not core members of the Merit Hall, and there should be quite a few who could escape after the butcher knife was raised.

However——

Just when some cultivators in the Merit Hall had this thought, they saw several Feng Han disciples in the Nascent Soul Realm, without saying anything, directly offering up their magic weapons and rushing towards Zhuang Shou and Wei Tu outside the peak.

"The Hall Master is dead, can we survive alone?"

These people shouted sternly.

As soon as the voice fell, a large number of cultivators from the Merit Hall flew out in an instant, fearlessly charging towards the location where Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou were.

Then.

A bloody rain fell.

The cultivators who took the lead, one by one, died on the spot with blood staining the sky under the crushing of the realm.

...

Half a day later.

There was silence over Linglu Peak, leaving only the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Finance Hall led by Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou, as well as some surrendered, non-core Merit Hall monks.

"What a pity!"

Wei Tu, who was in the clouds, looked down and saw a woman in a colorful skirt whose head was pierced by the finger force among the corpses.

This woman was Feng Han's daughter, Feng Yuxiang, whom he had met when he attended Feng Han's family banquet.

At that time, Feng Han wanted to form an alliance of interests with him, so he wanted to make a marriage contract with him in exchange for Feng Yuxiang.

However, he declined.

He had met this woman more than a dozen times in the past few years, and they were considered acquaintances.

Although he had expected what would happen to this woman after Feng Han's defeat, he still felt sorry after seeing it today.

However, it was only regret.

Otherwise, he would not have watched this woman being killed by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.

If it weren't for the previous encounters, he would probably not have had such feelings.

——He has seen too many lives and deaths.

In the final analysis, basically, none of the monks of the Merit Hall in the corpse group deserved to die.

These people, on the contrary, were very brave. They knew that after Feng Han lost the power struggle, they would also be in danger, so they chose to fight to the death instead of surrendering.

"Graceful burial."

"Feng Han can lose his bottom line, but you and I can't."

Wei Tu waved his hand, wiped off the blood on Linglu Peak, turned his head and looked at Zhuang Shou beside him, and said lightly.

"Graceful burial?"

Zhuang Shou was surprised to hear this.

He was not surprised by this decision, but he was surprised that the person who said this was Wei Tu?

After all, the current Wei Tu is said to be a monk of Jishan Sect, but both he and Sect Master Zhu regard Wei Tu as a "loose cultivator" who joined Jishan Sect, not one of their own.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Wei Tu's words seem inconsistent.

Besides——

In his memory, Wei Tu was a self-interested person who was "skilled in planning for his own future". He jumped from the worshiper of the Luqiu clan to the worshiper elder of the Jishan Sect, and now he has jumped to the position of the master of the Merit Hall.

Such a self-interested person can say such generous words?

It is really surprising.

"Maybe, I have misjudged this boy."

Zhuang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, and his opinion of Wei Tu changed a little.

...

After bloodbathing the Merit Hall, Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou did not waste time and started to "confiscate the house".

In a short time, they found more than 5,000 spirit crystals and three fourth-level magic tools of high grade from the dead core disciples of the Merit Hall.

The remaining elixirs, magic tools, and spirit medicines of various levels are countless.

"In the Merit Hall, the truly valuable things are the top treasures in the sect that can be exchanged for contribution points."

"These treasures belong to the public. Normally, it is not easy for us, the hall master, or even the sect master Zhu, to withdraw them."

Walking to the door of Merit Hall, Zhuang Shou pulled Wei Tu's sleeve corner and whispered.

"What does Master Zhuang mean?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and felt something in his heart. He understood that Zhuang Shou was planning to conspire with him to carry out "Fire Dragon Burning the Cang".

——The "ranscoping" of the Merit Hall mentioned by Sect Master Zhu this time does not include the various treasures in the Merit Hall that can be exchanged by the monks of the sect.

These treasures do not belong to the Hall of Merit, but to the "public family" of the Jishan Sect.

The Hall of Merit is only responsible for the care.

In order to prevent the Gongde Hall from stealing, these treasures, whether low-level or high-level, have been placed under certain restrictions by the Jishan Sect. If you want to take them away, you must have the Sect Master's token from Master Zhu. Otherwise, even if you are the Master of the Gongde Hall, It is also difficult to break through these restrictions in a short time and steal treasures.

But... at this moment, the two of them happen to have Sect Master Zhu's Sect Master Token in hand.

Today, it is another chaotic time suitable for stealing treasures.

With this token, it is not difficult for the two of them to steal these treasures from the Hall of Merit.

Afterwards, just put the blame on Feng Han, a dead man.

The dead cannot speak.

"Hehe, that's not what I meant. It's what the sect leader meant." Zhuang Shou smiled and replied.

"What does the sect master mean?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was startled for a moment, feeling surprised.

But soon, he figured it out.

The sect leader and the sect leader are also different.

Within the Jishan Sect, the real leader is Venerable Hanyue. Although Sect Leader Zhu is not a puppet, at most, he is just a high-level wage earner who "co-rules" the Jishan Sect with many senior officials in the sect.

In other words, what Sect Leader Zhu can do can only be done under the rules of the sect.

In short, its capabilities are limited and it does not have the strength to turn Jishan Sect into its own private property.

If you want to exchange the treasures in the Hall of Merit, you must accumulate the contribution points in the door.

Normally, there are no shortcuts at all.

But things are different now. With Feng Han as the "scapegoat", Sect Leader Zhu can now "fake public good for personal gain".

"I just don't know if Sect Master Zhu stole the treasures from the Hall of Merit and Virtue, did he just take advantage of the situation, or did he do it deliberately?"

Wei Tu thought secretly.

If it was the latter, he would have to be wary of Sect Leader Zhu in the future. Such a person's character deserves the word "vicious".

"I wonder which treasure Zhu Zong wants to take?"

Wei Tu asked first.

If the treasure "stealed" by Sect Master Zhu is too valuable, Feng Han alone may not be able to carry the blame.

"It's the Purple Jade Cauldron."

Zhuang Shou nodded and named the treasure that Sect Master Zhu coveted.

As if he had guessed Wei Tu's concerns, after Zhuang Shou said this, he continued to say: "Don't worry! The Purple Jade Cauldron is just an ordinary treasure. The sect won't care about it. Even if he really guessed it, he wouldn't care about it." Peel through this layer of skin.”

The words fell.

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then nodded.

The Purple Jade Cauldron is not of high value. It is just a special fourth-level magic weapon. Fenghan can still carry this pot by himself.

If in the future, other high-level officials of the Jishan Sect question whether Sect Master Zhu has "Feng Han" taking the blame, they can suppress them directly.

And if Venerable Han Yue questions...

Even if Sect Master Zhu throws the pot on the two of them, it may not be of any use.

In fact, this act of stealing the sect's public property was something that Venerable Han Yue had tacitly approved of.

Still the same sentence.

The Jishan Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, and the various halls and peaks within the sect have been extremely closed and fragmented, forming their own kingdoms internally.

The same applies to the lineage including Venerable Hanyue and Sect Leader Zhu.

The interests it pursues are sometimes not in sync with the interests pursued by Jishan Sect, a large sect.

Now that there is a reputation to borrow, it might not be a bad idea to take a bite from the "public family" of Jishan Sect.

Besides——

Wei Tu estimated that the "stain" of Sect Leader Zhu might have been exposed deliberately in order to gain control over each other and draw him into the direct lineage camp.

Just like what happened with Lu Qiu Qingfeng back then.

——If he and Luqiu Qingfeng had not conspired to kill Luqiu Jinyuan...and there was pressure from the Luqiu clan from outside, it would have been difficult for the two of them to come together and form an offensive and defensive alliance.

…

Conversation room.

Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou walked inside the Hall of Merit.

With the help of Sect Master Zhu's Sect Master's token, the two opened the warehouse of Gongde Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Tu was shocked by the various rare treasures displayed on the shelves.

Of course, he was deliberately pretending.

Although there are many treasures in the Palace of Merit, they are still far behind the real treasures in the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

In his opinion, these treasures combined may not be as valuable as his "Xuanling Golden Chain" and "Five Elements Demon Slaying Ring".

Especially the latter.

It is a rare spiritual treasure that reaches the sky in the human world.

Zhuang Shou on the side saw Wei Tu's performance and was slightly satisfied. No matter how talented he is, it is difficult to go further without the support of the Jishan Sect.

He waved his sleeves, took away the purple jade cauldron, and said with a smile: "This time, you and I will work for Sect Master Zhu. Sect Master Zhu may have promised that after taking away the purple jade cauldron, you and I can each take a treasure. , but remember not to take treasures that are too precious and eye-catching.”

The words fell.

Zhuang Shoudang walked to the elixir area without any courtesy and directly took away a fourth-level high-grade elixir that increased mana on the shelf.

Only an empty bottle was left on top.

Arrived at Weitu.

Wei Tu did not pretend to be noble and refuse this good intention. He thought for a moment, walked to the "spiritual medicine area", and took a spiritual medicine called "Purple Gold Ginseng".

Purple Gold Ginseng, unlike ordinary spiritual medicines, is a rare high-level body refining secret medicine in the world of immortal cultivation.

At this moment, he took this purple gold ginseng for his own body refining cultivation.

In the way of Qi refining, he only needs to follow the steps now, and the spirit transformation realm is promising.

But in the way of body refining...

Now he can hardly see the "way forward".

There is no other reason, the body refining resources available for body refining practitioners are too few.

Including this "Purple Gold Ginseng", according to his estimation, it can only advance his body refining realm to the "great success" of the fourth stage of body refining, breaking through a small realm.

The subsequent realm can only be achieved through daily practice.

"Purple Golden Ginseng?"

"By the way, he is also a body cultivator."

Zhuang Shou was surprised for a moment when he saw Wei Tu choose the "Purple Golden Ginseng" this rare spiritual medicine, and then he remembered that the information about Wei Tu said that Wei Tu was a fourth-level body cultivator.

"Elder Wei, if you need a secret medicine for body cultivation in the future, you can find Zhuang. Zhuang knows which Taoist friends have this collection."

Zhuang Shou stepped forward and sold Wei Tu a good deal.

As the head of the Finance Hall, he is in charge of the financial issues of Jishan Sect and is more informed than others.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to Zhuang Shou to thank him.

With Zhuang Shou's words, he really felt that he had made the right decision to join Zhu Zongzhu.

…

According to the earlier agreement, after the benefits were divided, Wei Tu stayed in the Merit Hall to temporarily guard the "Feng Han remnants", while Zhuang Shou led the crowd to the main hall of Jishan Sect to report to Zhu Zongzhu.

At this point, all the high-level members of Jishan Sect learned that the internal struggle that had lasted for more than 20 years in the sect had finally come to an end.

The cultivators sighed at this.

After all, in this internal struggle, neither Feng Han nor Lord Luo was the winner.

Feng Han ended up dying and his clan was exterminated.

Although Lord Luo avenged his great hatred, he had no hope of becoming a god because his body was severely injured, and his path to Taoism was cut off.

The only winner was Wei Tu, who took over the position of Lord of Feng Han's Merit Hall.

However, due to Wei Tu's talent in the way of talismans, his strength, and his "Emperor's heart", the cultivators did not dare to say too much and could only accept this result silently.

Wei Tu had a record of success.

They didn't want to be the second Li Donghai, and were killed by Wei Tu with seven golden tripod talismans.

In this atmosphere, Wei Tu used the "Purple Gold Ginseng" he got for his own benefit to successfully break through to the fourth-level middle-stage "Great Success" of the body refining realm, which was only one step away from the peak of the middle stage.

However, after the breakthrough, Wei Tu did not rush to find Zhuang Shou to seize other body refining secret medicines he knew, but stayed in Linglu Peak and continued to practice in seclusion.

After the Fenghan incident was over.

Sect Master Zhu also assigned him a task.

That is, try to draw the second-level golden tripod talisman successfully within three hundred years.

Once successful, Jishan Sect will have a big reward.

Of course, he was practicing in seclusion at this time, not in a hurry to draw the second-level golden tripod talisman, but for other things.

——Thirty years later, the "Five Elements Demon Killing Ring" that he practiced with the blood sacrifice technique of "Three Yang Blood Sacrifice" finally responded.

The Five Elements Demon Slaying Ring is a magical treasure that can reach the sky. It must be activated by the Tongbao Jue. The Three Yang Blood Sacrifice technique can only bring out 20% of the power of this treasure at most.

However, this 20% of power is already extremely powerful in the human world.

Wei Tu has never entered the realm of transformation, so he dare not say too much, but with the help of this treasure, he believes that few people will be his opponents against cultivators below the realm of transformation.

"However, this blood refining technique also consumes a lot of blood and essence. Even with my body refining skills, I can only activate it three times at most, and I dare not activate it more than that."

In the retreat room, Wei Tu's face was pale. He looked at the five-color bracelet floating in the air, and a trace of lingering fear flashed across his face.

Just now, he tried to activate the "Five Elements Demon Slaying Ring" with this blood refining method, but as soon as he activated it, he felt that the blood and essence in his body were instantly reduced by more than half.

If he had not practiced body cultivation, he would have no doubt that the blow just now would have been enough to drain an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul expert dry and destroy his body.

"This treasure should not be used if it is possible."

Wei Tu shook his head, waved his hand, put the Five Elements Demon Slayer Ring back into the storage bag, and went into seclusion to regulate his breath.

A few months later.

His lost blood and essence were replenished one by one.

At this moment, Wei Tu suddenly found that there was a talisman with the mark of Luqiu Qingfeng at the door of his cave.

"The successor king invites me to be a guest..."

Wei Tu scanned the talisman with his consciousness and instantly knew the content of the talisman.
