Chapter 73 Ambition

After Jiang Xekong ran out of the room, he quickly took out an antidote pill and swallowed it. The coquettish young woman surnamed An also swallowed an antidote pill in a panic. The two of them looked back at Taoist priest Linghu who was lying on the ground. , his face immediately became extremely ugly.

The Taoist priest was now covered in black, and black blood was constantly flowing out from the seven holes. It was indescribably terrifying!

The young woman surnamed An screamed and grabbed Jiang Xekong's hand, trembling all over, and said inarticulately: "Jiang, Brother Jiang, how, how can there be such a strange poison in this world? Even us cultivators can do it poison?"

Jiang Xekong's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes constantly wandering around the inn, and at the same time he quietly released his spiritual consciousness to peek. After a while, he obviously found nothing, and his face became even more embarrassed. At the same time, he felt something was wrong all over his body. It seemed that the detoxification pill he had just taken had no obvious effect.

"Oops, let's go!" Jiang Xekong grabbed the arm of the charming young woman and hurriedly left here without even looking at the black body on the ground.

As soon as the two left, a black figure came out from the opposite room, walked to the Taoist priest Linghu, sneered, and seemed not to be afraid of the poison. bag and a cloth bag. The black figure raised his hand and hit a ball of fire on the corpse. The corpse burned and emitted a foul stench.

The black figure didn't even look, and fired two more fireballs, directly setting the house on fire.

This black figure is naturally Wu Yan in disguise. After doing all this, Wu Yan sneered and strode outside the inn.

When the innkeeper and waiters saw the fire, they panicked and called for people to put out the fire. Wu Yan passed by the front hall, which was already in chaos. The shopkeeper looked at the fire in the backyard with a mournful face. He wanted to rush in to put out the fire, but he was afraid of being burned. He held his head and stamped his feet, wailing: "My dear mother, I have saved up all my life to build this place." Who is the one who kills a thousand swords in an inn... Uh!"

The shopkeeper was halfway through howling when he suddenly felt something heavy in his hand. When he looked up, he saw that it was a gold ingot weighing twenty-two pounds. The shopkeeper looked around, quickly hid the gold in his sleeves, bowed with his fists, and worshiped in all directions.

Wu Yan turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper who had settled down, smiled, then looked up at the sky, his expression changed, he chose a direction and chased after him.

However, this time he was extremely careful.

He used the mysterious jade card to lay out such a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, just to lure out the person who framed him behind the scenes. What he didn't expect was that this person was actually a high-level monk at the thirteenth level of Qi training. Even the two people following him were also monks at the eleventh level of Qi training. Fortunately, the blood refined from his own blood was very poisonous and poisoned one of them to death. Although the other two took precautions and swallowed antidote pills, they may not be able to completely get rid of the poison.

Now I may not be that person's opponent, but fortunately, I took this opportunity to successfully separate Lu Xian'er from the evil scholar in purple.

Following the secret notes along the way, Wu Yan quickly found a house near Xicheng. Knocking on the door, the wooden door opened in response. The person behind the door is none other than Lu Xang'er.

"Brother Lu, I finally see you!" Wu Yan cupped his hands and smiled.

"Come in, it's not convenient to talk here." Lu Xian'er didn't waste any time. He grabbed Wu Yan's arm affectionately, pulled him into the courtyard, and closed the door. Lu Xang'er led Wu Yan into the layered courtyard and found A wing room, and then led Wu Yan into a secret room underneath the wing room.

The secret room is located more than ten feet underground in the wing room. It seems that this is a secret place for the Lu family to stay in Tianlang City.

There was a soft light in the secret room, like daylight. Wu Yan took a closer look and realized that the light was actually the light emitted by dozens of luminous pearls inlaid on the wall.

"Brother Wu, it's so nice to see you!" There was another person in the secret room, but it was Lu Cangshan.

Wu Yan patted Lu Cangshan's shoulder affectionately and said, "Brother Cangshan, thank you for reminding me that day, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark and maybe someone would have killed me."

"Brother Wu is too humble. Haha, I heard that you actually killed the three deacons of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and now you appear here again. This shows that even the so-called person who always has a higher eye is The evil person Jiang Xekong, who is the number one person below the foundation level of our Tianlang Kingdom, also suffered a loss at the hands of Brother Wu. Haha, Brother Wu’s methods are really enviable to me!”

"Third brother, you are quite smart and can actually guess it. Yes, Jiang Xekong and that shameless bitch have probably gone into hiding in the palace to extract poison. Brother Wu's poison skills are really impressive. Shocked!" Lu Xian'er smiled and poured a cup of tea for Wu Yan and handed it to him.

"A long journey can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. I, Wu Yan, will bear in mind the kindness of the two Lu brothers to remind me. By the way, Brother Lu, what is going on? Is it because I don't want to join San Are they going to get rid of me if they want to build an alliance? If this is really the case, wouldn’t it be too chilling for all the cultivators in the world?”

After the three of them sat down in the secret room, Wu Yan couldn't help frowning and asked with a gloomy face.

Seeing Wu Yan's expression, the Lu brothers couldn't help but look ugly when they thought about their family's situation. Lu Xang'er thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and told Wu Yan what he had learned during this period. Tell it in detail.

It turned out that since the multi-eyed Taoist priest was born in the Sirius Kingdom five years ago and single-handedly founded the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he began to move around and use various means to try to win over all the casual cultivators in the Tianlang Kingdom's immortal world.

He first promised a large reward to attract the six major independent cultivator families to join the independent cultivator alliance, forming an elder council to help him manage the independent cultivator alliance. Then he used the Immortal Valley as a base to continuously recruit independent cultivators from all over the country to enter the Immortal Valley, and then attracted them to become members of the independent cultivator alliance.

In this way, in less than five years, a independent cultivator alliance with more than 800 members was formed. With such a huge force, it became the existence second only to the Buddha Palace in the Tianlang country's immortal cultivation world.

Moreover, it seems that he has successfully attracted three other high-level independent cultivators in the foundation-building period from other countries' immortal cultivation world to become the great elders of the independent cultivator alliance.

This was originally a good thing for independent cultivators like them. After all, with a big force behind them to rely on, they would be much more powerful in the immortal cultivation world.

However, as the independent cultivator alliance became more and more powerful, the ambition of the Taoist Duomu also expanded. Lu Cangli heard from others that Taoist Duomu had selected ten elite confidants and planned to use this year's Futu Conference to infiltrate Futu Palace, so that they could steal the unique skills of Futu Palace and use them to strengthen the loose cultivator alliance. Moreover, Taoist Duomu's ambitions were not limited to this. He had recently started to select confidants and planned to sneak into other countries' cultivation worlds and take the opportunity to sneak into other sects to steal skills.

All the immortal cultivators who had some inheritance knew that the Qigong techniques below the foundation-building stage were very common in the immortal cultivation world and could be obtained without deliberately looking for them. However, the techniques above the foundation-building stage involved inheritance and other unknown secrets. These advanced techniques were all mastered by those high-level cultivators and sects, and they would never be easily passed on to outsiders.

This was also the main reason why small and scattered cultivator families and declining families had continuous inheritance but few foundation-building cultivators. Basically, cultivators above the foundation-building stage in the immortal cultivation world were all sect cultivators, and there were very few loose cultivators.

However, after a cultivator joins a sect, he will be subject to various restrictions and limitations of the sect. He belongs to the sect for his whole life. If he betrays the sect, he will be despised by all the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. If a cultivator has outstanding qualifications and is willing to join the sect, even if he betrays the sect, other sects will rush to take him. Although the reputation of betraying the sect is not good, which sect does not have some means to restrain its disciples?

The reason why Taoist Duomu tried his best to win over Wu Yan this time was because he saw his understanding and achievements in alchemy. However, what the people in the loose cultivator alliance who knew about this matter did not expect was that Wu Yan was so good at magic battles that he easily killed three cultivators of the same level.

The person in charge of this matter was Jiang Xiekong of the Jiang family. Because the three deacons disappeared inexplicably, it should be a bad omen. Jiang Xiekong was also afraid that Taoist Duomu would hold him accountable, so this matter has not been reported to the higher authorities, and only a small range of people knew about it.

Jiang Xiekong's ambition is not small. Although he is one of the elite cultivators of the loose cultivator alliance who was selected to lurk in the Futu Palace this time, he actually wants to take this opportunity to annex other loose cultivator families in Tianlang Country and dominate alone. His ambition is great, of course, because of his strong strength, of course, it also has a lot to do with his status in the loose cultivator alliance. In the loose cultivator alliance, his right to speak is second only to Taoist Duomu.

Jiang Xiekong once offered Taoist Duomu a strategy to unify the loose cultivators in the Tianlang country's cultivation world and form a cultivator army. The biggest resistance to this strategy naturally comes from the loose cultivator families.

In the Tianlang country's cultivation world, the truly large cultivator families are all dependent on the Futu Palace. Those are hidden families that do not interact with ordinary loose cultivators at all, let alone interfere in worldly affairs. The so-called six loose cultivator families are ridiculous to say, they are just some declining cultivator families. A family does not even have a cultivator in the foundation-building period, and is it worthy of being called a loose cultivator family? Therefore, although these six independent cultivation families control one county and five states in Tianlang Country, they are actually just small families with 10 to 20 Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

Jiang Xiekong's target this time was originally the Lu family and the Yun family. Yun Hezi saw the opportunity quickly and turned to Taoist Duomu and worshipped him as his master. Lu Cangli was more unlucky. The news that he secretly communicated with Wu Yan leaked out. Duomu was furious and planted a strange poison in his body. This time, Jiang Xiekong took the initiative to ask Duomu for him, just to confront Wu Yan in front of him, and then achieve the purpose of suppressing Lu Cangli and conquering the Lu family.

Who would have thought that Wu Yan was so powerful that he actually got rid of three Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivators at the same time, and set a trap for Jiang Xiekong to fall into.

"Brother Wu, this is all I know. I'm in a critical situation now, so I'm counting on you. You are very good at poisons, so please help me see what kind of poison that old Taoist Duomu has put in my body, and help me to detoxify it." Lu Cangli looked at the frowning Wu Yan half-jokingly, stretched out one hand, cut his index finger, squeezed a drop of blood into a white jade cup, and handed it to Wu Yan.
