Chapter 617 The Ambition of the Luqiu Clan, Bai Zhi Passed Away (4k, Please Subscribe)

In three years' time, Lu Qiu Qingfeng, the crown prince, will replace his father, Lu Qiu Yeming, as the head of the Donghua Demon Kingdom.

This letter was an invitation letter sent to him by this woman, inviting him to attend the succession ceremony.

"More than a hundred years have passed."

Wei Tu counted with his fingers and thought to himself.

Time flies, and it seems that Luqiu Qingfeng succeeded in seizing the throne and assumed the position of crown prince not long ago, but in fact, more than a hundred years have passed since then. It's just that he has been practicing for a long time. In his heart, it is almost the same as yesterday.

"I wonder what the Jishan Sect thinks?"

Wei Tu has a good sense of politics. After he got this talisman letter, he did not have the idea of ​​​​going to the Luqiu clan for a banquet immediately, but planned to check the attitude of the Jishan sect first.

The Donghua Demon Kingdom is the number one force under the Jishan Sect.

Now, Luqiu Qingfeng succeeds as the head of the country...

It stands to reason that the Jishan Sect will also send people to participate, and the candidate to participate in the succession ceremony of the king is very likely to fall on him.

First, he has a close relationship with Lu Qiu Qingfeng and is an acquaintance.

Regardless of whether the Jishan Sect has other agendas or has a liaison relationship, if he goes as a "special envoy", he will reduce administrative costs and get twice the result with half the effort.

Between the two, at this moment, he can be considered a direct descendant of Sect Leader Zhu.

Sect Leader Zhu sent someone to visit the Luqiu clan, so there was no reason why he would ignore his direct lineage and go find other people.

It was useless to think too much, and Wei Tu stopped worrying. He waved his sleeves, opened the door of the cave, and rushed straight to the main hall of the sect where Sect Leader Zhu was.

"Well...if that's the case..."

After knowing Wei Tu's intention of coming, Sect Leader Zhu did not immediately reply, but showed a bit of hesitation on his face.

After a while, he sighed deeply and started talking to Wei Tu.

"Junior Brother Wei, what is the extent of your relationship with Luqiu Qingfeng?"

Sect Master Zhu asked in a deep voice.

"The relationship between?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was startled for a moment, wondering whether he should answer truthfully. After all, Luqiu Qingfeng's trust in him already exceeded this woman's trust in the Luqiu clan.

Luqiu Qingfeng, the leader of the country, was promoted to the throne after he eliminated his rival "Luqiu Jinyuan".

"What does the sect master mean by this?"

Wei Tu did not answer the question directly, but planned to test Sect Master Zhu's tone first.

The words fell.

Regarding this, Sect Leader Zhu didn't think much about it and continued to show off. Instead, he directly told Wei Tu the difficulties he encountered.

"Junior Brother Wei, according to the report of the traitor I placed in Xiaohuan Palace, Master Tong intends to issue an edict to allow the fourth disciple Dugutian to marry Luqiu Qingfeng as a Taoist couple to deepen the relationship between the two factions."

Sect Leader Zhu shook his head and said.

"What? Lord Tong issued an edict?"

Wei Tu was surprised. He did not expect that Venerable Tong would favor the Luqiu clan so much that he would let his fourth disciple Dugutian marry Luqiu Qingfeng as a Taoist companion.

It's no wonder that Sect Master Zhu is worried about this.

Although the relationship between Master Tong and the Luqiu clan was good before, and they regarded the Luqiu clan as another parent clan, there had never been such a high-level marriage between the two parties before.

One is the leader of the Luqiu clan.

One is the highly valued personal disciple of Venerable Tong.

Once the two parties successfully marry, can the Donghua Demon Kingdom still be regarded as a subordinate force of the Jishan Sect?

From then on, it was only a matter of time before the Luqiu clan changed its banner.

"It is very possible that Venerable Tong acted like this because our sect overly persecuted the Luqiu clan more than 20 years ago..."

Speaking of this, Sect Master Zhu glanced at Wei Tu intentionally or unintentionally.

More than twenty years ago, if Wei Tu had not intervened, causing the Jishan Sect to be in civil strife and losing a great opportunity to target the Luqiu clan, the situation today would not be like this.

Of course, neither he nor the Jishan Sect would blame Wei Tu for what happened in the past.

Jishan Sect is not so stingy.

After all, Wei Tu acted righteously and helped Palace Master Luo rescue Luo Mingzhen, which was in line with justice and could not be said to be wrong.

The blame can only be blamed on the fact that this thunder was hidden inside the door before.

Furthermore——

If not for this reason, the power of his sect leader's lineage would not have expanded since then, annexing the Hall of Merit, and would not have been lucky enough to pick up Wei Tu, a "genius". It can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

After hearing this, Wei Tu finally understood what "shooting oneself in the foot" meant.

All the cultivators of the Jishan Sect knew that he was promoted from the worship of the Luqiu clan to the worship elder of the sect, and then gained power in one fell swoop and sat in the position of the master of the Merit Hall.

Now, if the Luqiu clan "changes its banner", it will definitely have a great impact on his future reputation within the Jishan Sect.

One sentence.

From then on, it was difficult for him to stand upright.

One or two days is fine.

As time goes by, I am afraid that Sect Master Zhu and Venerable Han Yue will gradually increase their distrust of him in their hearts.

However, Wei Tu has no regrets about this.

Without the previous "chaos", how could he, a casual cultivator from the outside world, have a chance to rise to the top?

As for the crisis...

He just tried his best to solve it.

Even if in the end, it's really a done deal and the Luqiu clan rebels and goes to Xiao Huan Palace, he only needs to hold on for two or three hundred years until he transforms into a god.

——With the proceeds from the raid on the Merit Hall, his wealth is sufficient to cut the estimated life span of his breakthrough into a god from four hundred years to half.

…

"Wei and Luqiu Qingfeng... are close friends. They should be able to persuade this woman to give up her marriage to Xiao Huan Gong."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and then replied.

Regardless of whether he is confident about this trip, his attitude should be expressed now, but it should be expressed.

The words fell.

Sect Leader Zhu immediately showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

"However, nothing is absolute. If you can't convince this woman, Junior Brother Wei, just crush this token."

Sect Leader Zhu took out a red token from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu was a talisman master, and at a glance he discovered the communication talisman that concealed the "take action" command from inside the red token.

He immediately understood that it was Sect Master Zhu who had murderous intentions towards Lu Qiu Qingfeng, but he just didn't tell him clearly.

Now, the Jishan sect wants to solve this crisis.

There are only two ways.

One, persuade the Luqiu clan to give up.

Second, kill Luqiu Qingfeng, the marriage partner.

The former is gentle and the latter is tough.

The Jishan Sect is not afraid of losing the Luqiu clan as an external influence. What they are afraid of is the impact that the Luqiu clan will have on other external influences after they rebel.

This is no less than shaking the foundation of Jishan Sect's rule.

This point is extremely unbearable for the Jishan Sect.

After killing Luqiu Qingfeng, regardless of whether Xiaohuangong still insisted on marrying with the Luqiu clan, the Jishan Sect had already acted as a deterrent to all relevant forces.

"Wei understands that he will never let the sect leader down."

Wei Tu said with a pun.

…

After leaving the main hall of Jishan Sect.

Wei Tu did not return to the Hall of Merit, but immediately rushed to the Jishan Sect's ultra-long-distance teleportation array leading to the Red Algae Sea.

Although Luqiu Qingfeng's temperament was a little cold, he didn't want to have a close relationship with this woman, but... they were just friends after all, and he didn't want her to die and be killed by the Jishan Sect.

In addition, the direction of this matter will also greatly affect his "future" within the Jishan Sect.

He couldn't be careless about this.

A few days later.

Hurrying down slowly, Wei Tu successfully arrived at Yuanjun Island.

However, after hurriedly returning to Yuanjun Island, he did not rush to find Luqiu Qingfeng to persuade the woman. Instead, he escaped and went to the Luqiu clan's worship hall first.

——As a "high-level" member of Shangzong, if Luqiu Qingfeng didn't pay him a visit after he came to Yuanjun Island, he would be treating him poorly.

Who meets whom first...

The order of these meetings is also a negotiation technique.

Seeing Wei Tu "returning to his hometown", all the worshipers in the worship hall immediately flew out and stepped forward to greet Wei Tu.

now.

Things are not what they used to be.

Wei Tu, the master of the Hall of Merit and Virtue, has a much higher status under the order of the Jishan Sect than the subordinate forces of the Luqiu Clan.

Even the strongest member of the Luqiu clan, the "King of the Luqiu people", had to treat Wei Tu with courtesy and did not dare to show any disrespect.

Not to mention the offerings in these shrines.

Regardless of realm strength or power status, they are far inferior to Wei Tu.

"Fortunately, I had good eyesight back then."

Among the cultivators who complimented Wei Tu in the enshrinement hall, the Lord of the Second Mountain was the most excited. When he was at Wulao Mountain, he abdicated the throne for Wei Tu and made way for him.

Although the kindness of this acquaintance was not great, in front of Wei Tu, he was definitely a worthy person.

"Fellow Taoists, you are ridiculous. Wei just joined the Jishan Sect by luck and was favored by Sect Master Zhu."

Wei Tu maintains his usual modesty.

"After Wei returns to the cave to rest for a few days, I will visit you one after another."

he said.

After hearing this, the worshipers in the worship hall immediately stopped entangled and left one after another in a wise manner.

"These are some of Wei's experiences on Fu Dao. Second Mountain Master can take a look."

Wei Tu stopped the Second Mountain Master, took out a jade slip from his arms, and stuffed it into it.

Different from him.

The second mountain master has mediocre talent in immortal arts. After joining the Luqiu clan, he has been depressed.

After his persuasion, he changed the Tao of Talisman.

Now, his attainments in Talisman Dao have reached the level of the fourth level. The gift of the recent experience will bring a lot of benefits to the Second Mountain Master in his cultivation of Talisman.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Second Mountain Master, who was holding the jade slip in his hand, suddenly became excited, and he quickly nodded in thanks.

He knows the goods.

In the celestial art of Talisman Dao, in addition to the precious talisman paper and spiritual ink used to draw talismans, the most precious thing is the method of making talismans and the experience of the talisman master.

For him, ordinary fourth-level talisman-making methods are not difficult to find, but the experience of high-level talisman masters is extremely difficult to find, because these experiences are family secrets.

Apart from word of mouth from father to son, master and disciple, few monks would leak it out.

In other words, what Wei Tu gave him was no different from the inheritance of a precious fourth-level high-grade Talisman Master.

"You and I are from the same sect, so why bother talking."

Wei Tu smiled and emphasized the word "fellow disciple".

Although Wulaoshan is a casual cultivator force and not worth mentioning, it is also his true foundation.

If the second mountain master hadn't abdicated in favor of someone more powerful, it would undoubtedly have been difficult for him to win without bloodshed.

…

After chatting with the Second Mountain Master for a while.

Wei Tu said goodbye and returned to his cave in the worship hall.

But as soon as he returned to the cave, his face showed a bit of loneliness, which was in great contrast to the "satisfaction" he had just outside the cave.

There is no other reason. Wei Tu is already in this cave and cannot find any breath of Bai Zhi.

"Master... passed away four years ago."

A beautiful girl came over with a sad look on her face and bowed gracefully to Wei Tu.

This woman is none other than Xu Yuqi, the body that Wei Tu had previously arranged for Bai Zhi to seize her body.

However, because Bai Zhi did not have long life and had benevolent thoughts in her heart, she did not completely take away the girl and still kept her soul.

"The immortal has gone..."

Hearing these expected words, Wei Tu sighed softly, and the look of loneliness on his face became even stronger.

He can express his happiness and anger without expressing his emotions. With his Qi nourishing skills, he can easily do this.

But that was in front of outsiders, in his own cave, so he didn't need to be so pretentious.

Moreover, Bai Zhi was also an "old friend" who had been with him for five hundred years. It was impossible to say that he could not be moved by the passing of this woman.

From the early days of Jindan...

To the present Nascent Soul late stage.

Although this woman has been absent, she is indeed the person beside him who has witnessed his growth as an immortal for the longest time.

In a sense, Bai Zhi is closer than his biological children. At least for some secret matters, he will avoid Wei Yan and his sister, but not Bai Zhi.

"Immortals have longevity. If you want to live forever, you have no choice but to work hard step by step!"

Wei Tu closed his eyes slightly, feeling something in his heart.

Four hundred foundations and eight hundred golden elixirs.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these people have long lifespans, but in the eyes of monks at a higher level, they are just short-lived ghosts.

Although the longevity of Nascent Soul has reached thousands, monks who are good at extending life, such as Ancestor Scorpio, can live to be four thousand years old.

However, his longevity is probably only a blink of an eye for monks in heaven, earth, and higher realms.

…

After giving Bai Zhi silent condolences for a while.

Wei Tu opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yuqi again.

"Have you become a disciple of Bai Zhi?"

He asked and provoked the topic knowingly. .

Although this woman is still in the realm of Qi training, after absorbing the "Yi Ze" where Bai Zhi's soul collapsed, her soul realm is already in the golden elixir realm, and her potential is pretty good.

"Yes, my servant has become a disciple of Lord Bai. Lord Bai ordered me... to serve my ancestor well."

Hearing Wei Tu's question, Xu Yuqi lowered his head and replied with a trembling voice.

Although her master Bai Zhi said that Patriarch Wei was a very docile person, as long as she behaved better, she would be able to survive and not die.

But the truth is this...

Facing a master who could easily decide her life or death, how could she not be frightened and worried about him.

"This is a soul contract, you sign it."

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn't say much, and used his spiritual consciousness to condense a soul contract, which fell in front of Xu Yuqi in the form of a jade slip.

Since it was Bai Zhi's last words not to kill Xu Yuqi, he didn't mind fulfilling his old friend's small wish.

With his longevity, it would be an easy task to outlast this woman.

If this woman makes good use of her talent and reaches the realm of golden elixir or even Nascent Soul...then he won't mind having an obedient "death warrior" around her.

He really needs a soul servant in the Jishan Sect to help him handle chores so that he can concentrate on his practice.

"Yes, Ancestor Wei."

Hearing this, Xu Yuqi felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately signed the soul contract with joy on his face, invited this "jade slip" into his sea of ​​consciousness, and took the initiative to be controlled by Wei Tu.
