Chapter 430 Catching an Adulterer

"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't get me wrong. It's just a physical form. Xu is a human being, not a foreigner, and certainly not a demon!" Xu Qingyang explained a few words seriously, although he was somewhat concealed.

Seeing his relaxed and comfortable performance, several people didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Mulan people retreated very quickly, and the bald-browed old man hesitated whether to take advantage of the situation and pursue them, especially Na Gu Shuangpu who said plausibly: "Fellow Daoist Xu has frightened the enemy with his power, and now he is ordering a full pursuit. It is a great way to expand the results and counterattack in one fell swoop." Brother Lu must not miss this opportunity!”

The monk surnamed Ma is also eager to try and get his face back.

Han Li frowned and looked at the Mulan people who were retreating in an orderly manner, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The bald-browed old man looked at the unpredictable Xu Qingyang, and his behavior became extremely polite: "Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think?"

"Don't chase, Mulan people are not that simple!"

After Xu Qingyang collected the results of the battle, he turned to look at the Mulan people: "Although they retreated in embarrassment, they were not panicked. They must have some unknown trump card. It doesn't matter to you or me. If it's really impossible, we can run away, but once the whole army attacks, If you fall into the opponent's trap, you won't be able to defend this position."

The bald-browed old man breathed a sigh of relief: "What fellow Taoist Xu said is true, and Mr. Lu thinks so too!"

Gu Shuangpu was reluctant, but his eyes swept over Xu Qingyang, and he was extremely worried about this person's strength. As for Haoran Pavilion Lao Ma, although he wanted revenge, he was convinced of the consequences of taking risks.

And his attitude towards Xu Qingyang is no longer so unhappy.

The main reason is that this man's strength is really frightening. The terrifying physical appearance just now also brought great pressure to the spectators.

None of the Yuanying monks were idiots. Although the opponent's battle was too childish, the opponent was by no means a show-off. I just don't know why, but he was easily defeated by the opponent without showing any magical power. Not to mention Han Li. He doesn't agree with counterattacks. He honestly relies on formations and defends securely.

If the opinions are unified, everyone will no longer be entangled.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it is really gratifying to be able to destroy a powerful enemy in one fell swoop this time. Fellow Daoist, don't worry, Mr. Lu will report truthfully and take credit for fellow Daoist!"

The bald-browed old man is qualified to guard a place, so he naturally knows how many people are doing.

Lao Ma, Gu Shuangpu, and Han Li all worked voluntarily, while Xu Qingyang was a part-time cultivator and had to be given benefits to win over them.

What they don't know now is that after the news was reported, it shocked the top management of the Nine Nations Alliance, because the man in black robe was one of the mysterious monks who appeared on the battlefield earlier. He had taken action several times, and several Nascent Souls of the Nine Nations Alliance were among them. He died in their hands, but later these mysterious people stopped moving for a period of time, the war became more and more intense, and the dead Nascent Souls became larger and larger, so they did not attract so much attention.

Putting aside this, the old man surnamed Ma and Gu Shuangpu each managed to smile a bit.

After a few words of praise, they returned to the formation together.

When they arrived at the meeting hall, they discussed for a while their respective judgments on the Mulan people's next attack. Xu Qingyang and Han Li left first. The monk surnamed Ma suffered some injuries and then left to recuperate.

Gu Shuangpu stayed for a while and finally left.

The bald-browed old man and others had all left, and he was sitting alone on a chair, with his head lowered and a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a while of silence, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Who, come out!"

The hall was a little empty, but a chuckle came from the entrance: "Haha, Brother Lu is really profound in Taoism. It's no wonder that he can win the trust of the Nine Nations Alliance and guard this vital place. As soon as I returned, I was attacked by fellow Taoist Notice." As he spoke, a man in green robe walked into the hall without stopping.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, if you don't go to rest, why do you go and come back?"

Gu Shuangpu continued to move forward: "Nothing, I just discovered a secret. I think I must come back immediately to discuss it with fellow Taoist Lu."

"Secret?" The bald-browed old man lowered his guard slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Shuangpu quickened his pace: "Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have no doubts about today's situation?"

"What do you suspect?" The bald-browed old man did not stop the other party from approaching.

Gu Shuangpu sneered: "What are you doubting? Today, that fellow Taoist Xu defeated his opponent as if it were child's play. Afterwards, I was supposed to interrogate the prisoner he captured, but he refused. I suspect that this was just an act. That black robe He is not some messy Dajin demon cultivator at all. It’s just ridiculous. Dajin is so far away from me, how could he come to a remote place like ours in a poor county, let alone a demon cultivator? I think it’s all just a conspiracy between the two of them. , leaving you and me confused, so this person is probably a spy of the Mulan people."

The bald-browed old man's face was shocked, but he was also thoughtful.

Today's battle was really weird. With his knowledge, he didn't understand what was going on. If it was acting, then everything would make sense.

He thought for a while: "Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have any evidence?"

Gu Shuangpu sneered: "Of course there is evidence, otherwise Gu would not be eager to see Taoist fellow Taoist right now!"

The bald-browed old man's face became serious. He stood up quickly and stretched out his hand. Gu Shuangpu also came in front of him, grabbed an object from his storage bag and handed it over, grinning sarcastically.

The bald-browed old man looked shocked, and it was too late to take back his hand.

Gu Shuangpu released his palm, and a small emerald-green snake ejected, biting the bald-browed old man's wrist. In the blink of an eye, the bald-browed old man's face turned black and purple from his neck to his whole face. He collapsed limply on the ground, motionless. Gu Shuangpu's expression was overjoyed. Suddenly his pupils shrank and he turned around suddenly.

"The two-tailed emerald snake is as poisonous as the ten most poisonous poisons. Fellow Daoist Gu, you really want Lu's life!"

The light in the main hall suddenly rose, and the silver patterns on the four jade stones flickered. Waves layer by layer converged towards the center, forming an inverted light mask, trapping Gu Shuangpu inside.

Gu Shuangpu's face was full of disbelief, and he hit the limp body with a palm.

"How is that possible!"

"There is nothing impossible. In order to verify the identity of fellow Taoist, Mr. Lu practiced this stand-in puppet early. Ever since the traces of fellow Taoist were revealed, Mr. Lu has been using this fake body to show off to others."

Gu Shuangpu's face was ashen, and he opened his mouth and spit out a blue flying fork.

"Boom~"

After a violent impact, the blue flying fork bounced back several feet. Gu Shuangpu's face turned pale, and the bald-browed old man sighed: "Brother Gu, there is no need to work hard anymore. This hall is actually the core hub of the entire Huanglong Mountain formation, and it is also the forbidden area of ​​the formation." The place with the strongest protection, fellow Taoist, can’t get out no matter how hard you try!”

Gu Shuangpu was filled with hatred. If he hadn't been afraid of attracting the other party's attention, he would have discovered the fraud in advance if he had just carefully checked with his consciousness.

"Friend Lu Dao, how did you know it was me!"

"What about the guy named Xu? You really didn't doubt him?" Gu Shuangpu was a little unconvinced.

The bald-browed old man was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Gu, there is no need to sow discord. Fellow Daoist Xu and Daoist Han, after they arrived, everything behaved normally. However, Daoist Gu, on the other hand, has been behaving abnormally. Fellow Daoist Han overheard some secrets that he shouldn't have, so he set up a trap to test..."

"Brother Gu, I don't understand what kind of benefits the Mulan people can give you to do such a crazy thing."

Outside the light curtain, the bald-browed old man was in front. Xu Qingyang, Han Li, and the monk surnamed Ma appeared one after another. It seemed that they had been watching the show for a long time, waiting for the dust to fall to the ground.

When Gu Shuangpu saw this scene, his expression was extremely ferocious.

He felt like a monkey, and he roared angrily: "The world is unfair. I am snatching living space for my people. What's wrong with me!"

"Oh, are you from Mulan?"

"Hmph, Gu has always been a Mulan. In order to survive for our clan, he sneaked into your Tiannan in the early years and worshiped the Yuling Sect to lurk. How can you Tiannan monks know how difficult the survival of the Mulan people is? , with such meager resources, we can still give birth to many strong men. If the southern land is handed over to our tribe, I don’t know how many tribesmen will be able to stop being hampered in the road every year due to lack of resources. Killing each other.”

"The world is so unfair. Why, how come you monks like Tiannan, who are selfish and garbage bugs, can occupy such a superior environment."

"Capture Tiannan. As long as we capture Tiannan, we, the Mulan people, will no longer be restrained and can counterattack the grassland!"

The hysterical roars resounded in the hall.

Xu Qingyang interrupted: "The Tuwu people have cornered you. It's understandable that you want to hide in Tiannan, but why don't you think about it and rely on Tiannan with your back to resist the Tuwu people's attack?"

Gu Shuangpu's face froze, and the others with bald eyebrows were also surprised.

Then I heard Gu Shuangpu burst out laughing: "The people from Tiannan are so kind, how can our people believe you?"

Xu Qingyang was amused, as if he were looking at a fool: "You are also a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, but your brain is similar to that of a dead warrior. It is simply ridiculous. Whether I, a Tiannan native, will have good intentions, does not depend on a certain person, who can decide what to do." You shouldn’t do this, there are only pros and cons. If it helps you Mulan people suffer less, why can’t Tiannan help you!”

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please don't talk nonsense about this matter!" the monk surnamed Ma reminded.

Xu Qingyang glanced at him: "Fellow Daoist Ma, everyone has hatred, but the living people are more important. The current war situation is not in our favor. It will be beneficial to Tiannan to try peace talks!"

The bald-browed old man looked around, feeling vaguely moved in his heart.

Gu Shuangpu's eyes flickered uncertainly as he was trapped in the formation, but he was really just a dead soldier, and he didn't know the clan's specific plan, so he heard Xu Qingyang say: "If we both lose, and someone unexpected takes advantage of us, The consequences will not be something you and I can bear!"

"This is what Xu's family says, but Taoist friends can consider it and promote peace talks between the two clans!"

"Success or failure is always a retreat."

Gu Shuangpu looked panicked, and the bald-browed old man sent a message to Xu Qingyang: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I think you can really give your idea a try, but this is not something you and I can decide. It must be reported to the chief helmsman first!"

Xu Qingyang: "It is natural to report the matter, but time does not wait for us."

"What's the meaning?"

"I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't know that this person had a message transmission with a mysterious monk in the Mulan formation on the battlefield before. The other party's spiritual consciousness was no less powerful than that of a great monk in the late Yuan Ying period. Therefore, today, Junior Brother Han and I, They don’t agree to counterattack. If they go out, they’ll be wiped out in one fell swoop.”

The bald-browed old man was shocked, he was in the late Nascent Soul stage.

It would be terrible if there was a Mulan master in the late Nascent Soul stage hidden in the opposing Mulan army. No matter how hard they held on, they would never be able to resist it.

In this way, he also understood what Xu Qingyang meant.

First release the signal for peace talks. If the other party also has such concerns, there may be an opportunity for peace talks. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end or not, it is estimated that there will be changes when the fight starts. The Mulan people are not a whole and they must have many ideas. , if there is a war faction, there must be a peace faction.

As long as we gain the support of the peace faction, the situation will gradually lead to turning hostility into friendship.

At this time, his view of these fellow Taoists had improved to a higher level. He could understand the situation of the Mulan people early and think about the overall situation. This is the talent of a commander.

Given his age and strength, he may reach the top one day.

"Xi~"

The venomous snake spit out its tongue. Inside the light shield, Gu Shuangpu's outer robe was torn. His appearance was visibly changing. He gradually expanded, his hair disappeared, and was replaced by green scales. His facial features were distorted. His entire head looked like a python's head. His feet were fused together, and as he squirmed, he turned into a snake-man's tail that was about ten feet long.

"Spirit-attaching technique!" Xu Qingyang exclaimed.

Seeing this change and hearing Xu Qingyang's words, several people instantly thought of some ancient lost secret technique and exclaimed, "He actually knows this technique. Doesn't he want to enter reincarnation?"

Only the monk surnamed Ma from Haoran Pavilion would say such nonsense.

The bald-browed old man hurriedly took out a silver token, and then bit his tongue without hesitation. A mouthful of blood touched it, and the sound of a spell rang out. Then he saw that the light shield was thicker, but before he could continue to reinforce it, the snake man opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of purple-black liquid onto the light shield.

"Zi~"

As if it was corroded, a hole as big as a bowl appeared.

Bald-browed man was sweating profusely, chanting spells, hoping to mobilize the power of the entire formation to suppress the monster whose cultivation aura had broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

More than ten spells were shot out from the token, and the light shield roared immediately.

Silver lightning arcs condensed above, and it would be able to kill this beast in one fell swoop in a short time, but the snake man did not stop, and "puff puff puff" sprayed a lot of black liquid again, and the light shield was instantly corroded by a large area, and it was still spreading out rapidly. The snake man flicked his tail and jumped in front of the light wall.

"Tear~"

The sound was like tearing a rag, and the body shook and broke free from the restraints.

The bald-browed old man was shocked and released the magic weapon to protect himself at the first time. The monk surnamed Ma did the same. This snake man was too weird, and the two were afraid that he had some weird magical powers.

However, the snake man had no intention of fighting at all, and wanted to escape after coming out.

At this time, Xu Qingyang was in front of him. He just glanced at him and avoided him without hesitation. He turned to Han Li on the other side, seemingly looking for a soft persimmon to pinch. Underestimating the enemy would naturally lead to bad luck. Han Li held one hand in the air, and a ball of dark blue flame appeared out of thin air. He threw his hand and shot it out, and then heard a "dong".

It was the snake man who was hit by the blue flame and instantly turned into an ice sculpture and fell to the ground. The smile on his face was still so clear.

Han Li's body flashed and appeared behind the ice sculpture. He raised his hand to form a palm, and a thick golden arc of lightning sprayed out from the palm of his hand. The ice sculpture shattered, and the flesh inside also shattered.

A baby was terrified, and Han Li's lightning net shone down brazenly.

At this moment, Han Li's ear curtain moved, and the movement in his hand was a little slower. The little man flashed wildly, and the next moment, it disappeared in the hall, leaving only a few people looking at each other.
