Chapter 517: King Wu's Inspection
As for why Longhu Mountain did this, it involves another gang, Hongguang Inn. Hongguang Inn was severely damaged by the Jin family, and Longhu Mountain took the opportunity to destroy it. Only a few hundred masters fled to the Warring States to recuperate.
The Yunlongmen of Qiyun Mountain, the largest sect in the Warring States, certainly would not sit idly by and watch a powerful force grow and develop in its own jurisdiction, so it took action to suppress it. Poor Hongguang Inn became a street rat, bullied wherever it went, and was very similar to Zhang Pa in this respect. Coincidentally, Yunlongmen and Zhang Pa also had a grudge.
After several fights, Hongguang Inn suffered countless casualties, leaving only about 200 people, and had to break up and disperse to various countries to secretly recuperate. The power of hatred is greater than the sky, and these invincible masters have become extremely united. Considering the selfish nature of cultivators, those who survived Hongguang Inn are simply great. They never forget revenge, and no one betrays and leaves.
They have many enemies. Apart from Zhang Pa, they have an irreconcilable hatred with the Jin family of Mangu and Longhu Mountain. As for the Yunlongmen, they are not considered at all.
The last time something happened in Shiwan Mountain, thousands of cultivators went into the mountain to hunt monsters. It was the Hongguang Inn who was behind it. Shu Sheng went into the mountain several times to investigate the situation. After leaving the mountain, he spread the news of monsters, intending to cause the warlocks in the mountain to fight with the cultivators outside the mountain and reignite the war between the two tribes. If a war really breaks out, Longhu Mountain, as the closest cultivation sect to Shiwan Mountain, will be the first to bear the brunt and suffer the blow. Unfortunately, the matter was disturbed by Zhang Pa, and the left servant responded to the situation and sent all the blood killers to turn the danger into nothingness.
Afterwards, the left servant and the right servant sent people to investigate the cause, but they could only find that rumors were everywhere, but none of the people who spread the rumors could be found.
In the end, it could only be left unresolved, but it aroused the vigilance of the mountain god, and he sent people to guard the eighteen traffic arteries again.
The war in Shiwan Mountain did not start, but Hongguang Inn did not give up. More than 200 monks had experienced life and death and became extremely powerful. After these people recovered from their injuries, they sneaked back to Qi State and carried out assassinations and sneak attacks on Longhu Mountain monks, using every possible means. The boss of Longhu Mountain was very annoyed and sent all his elite disciples to hunt them down, but Qi State was too big, and the people of Hongguang Inn were as slippery as loaches. It lasted for decades and took a lot of effort to kill more than ten people. There were still more than 200 enemies making trouble all day long. The more these people were hunted down, the more dragon-like they became, almost becoming immortal gods of war, which was very similar to Zhang Pa. It seemed that only by being hunted down could they live healthier.
When things developed to this point, the boss of Longhu Mountain could not sit still. King He took action personally and killed more than 80 people from Hongguang Inn in three years. Only more than 100 people were left of this group of invincible warriors, and they disappeared again and lurked. The land of Qi State finally settled down.
After this incident, Longhu Mountain increased its control over Qi State, implemented the policy of "1,000 counties and 1,000 guards", and sent people to garrison in each county city, mainly disciples in the foundation-building stage, and said internally that they were going down the mountain for training. Li Meng and a dozen other people were disciples who came to Yong'an County for training, so they were particularly nervous about the sudden appearance of Zhang Pa, worrying that he was the remnant of Hongguang Inn.
After Li Meng reported the news back to his master, he would come to Yong'an Lake for inspection every day, but of course he could not find anything. Zhang Pa honestly hid in the mountains to monitor Yong'an Lake and practice by the way.
This hiding lasted for more than two months, and King Wu came with eleven Yuanying masters to Yong'an County.
Longhu Mountain did not care much about the news Li Meng sent back. Qi State is so big, it is normal for a few masters to appear. Just like the gangsters notified Li Meng that there were masters, Li Meng did not care much; the news they sent back to the mountain was not cared by the top leaders, and it was basically shelved.
But since Longhu Mountain has made the decision to have 1,000 counties and 1,000 guards, we can't just muddle through. To save face and take care of the emotions of the disciples, the top leaders acted as if they were serious and selected 12 Yuanying masters to form a patrol team to patrol the 1,000 counties. This year, it was the turn of King Wu to lead the team.
When King Wu arrived, Li Meng was terrified to meet him and told him everything he had found out over the years, talking endlessly about big and small things. King Wu was impatient: "No one died, it's not that serious, go down." He said that no one died, which meant that no monks in Longhu Mountain died, so it was not a big deal.
King Wu was dark and strong, and he was intimidating without anger. Li Meng didn't dare to say much and withdrew as ordered. Although he had a lot of complaints in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face.
A Yuanying beginner monk who was traveling with King Wu bowed and said, "Uncle Master, the investigation of the remnants of the Red Light depends entirely on the disciples' inquiries. Do you think you should give them some rewards so that the people below can also have the strength to do the work?" He did not dare to directly say that King Wu had a bad attitude, so he had to persuade him gently in a different way.
King Wu heard the meaning of the words and perfunctorily said, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." He got up and went back to his room to rest.
The next day, King Wu summoned the monks stationed in Yong'an County and ordered Li Meng, "Take us around." Li Meng was overjoyed. This was a chance for him to show off, and he happily led the way.
The places they could go were all in the suburbs, with the county as a point, covering the surrounding villages and towns. After strolling around one by one, they came to Yong'an Lake. Li Meng introduced the incident of Zhang Pa a few days ago, saying that a master ran away in an instant. King Wu did not care. He thought that it was a master in the mountain who went out and was seen by Li Meng. There are so many masters in the Ten Thousand Mountains. After so many years, it is time to bump into one.
After flying around Yong'an Lake, King Wu stopped near the mountains. He felt something strange in the mountains, as if a master was hiding. He searched carefully and found someone meditating ten miles away in the mountains, but he couldn't tell how high his cultivation level was. He turned around and asked Li Meng, "Why didn't that master kill you?"
After talking for a long time, King Wu finally remembered to ask. Li Meng sighed, "Are all masters like this?" He replied respectfully, "The man was wearing a gray cloth and said that he was not our enemy and had no ill will towards the master. The disciple was worried, so he and his fellow disciples set up a formation to trap him, and the man ran away."
King Wu did not respond, staring at the direction of the mountain. There were only trees and stones, and he didn't know what he could see. A Yuanying master beside him asked, "Uncle, do you want to go into the mountain to take a look?"
King Wu shook his head and said, "Go back to the city."
At this time, the eighteen important roads in the mountain were guarded by people. The direction of Yong'an County in the east was under the charge of Chi Zunzhe. That guy had a hot temper and was easily impulsive. If he took people into the mountain and let Chi Zunzhe misunderstand and cause unnecessary conflicts, the consequences would be disastrous. The name of the war between the two tribes was too big, and he asked himself if he could resist it. To put it another way, even if the war between the two tribes would not happen, it would not be a good thing to be remembered by Chi Zunzhe. That guy was too crazy.
He planned to explore at night. A team of masters entering the mountain would easily cause misunderstandings, but it would be fine if he went alone.
King Wu found Zhang Pa, and Zhang Pa also found them. A group of monks were wandering around Yong'an Lake, clearly targeting him. He thought, "Why haven't I been allowed to live in peace for more than two months?"
His entire focus was on Yong'an Lake. As long as Bing Jing's injury had not healed, he would continue to monitor the lake.
