Chapter 163 The Truth About the Underground Palace
On the side where Xu Yang was.
"Go!" The Lord of the West County, Lv Wujie, gave an order, and the seven people attacked together.
Amid the sound of swords and guns, the body of the Nine-tailed Spirit Scorpion was blasted to pieces by the crowd.
On the ground, the remaining half of its head did not forget to speak: "How embarrassing, you dare to sneak attack this scorpion, the spirit stones are all mine, no one can steal them." The voice became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.
Seeing that the Nine-tailed Spirit Scorpion in front of him was blasted to death. Lv Wujie showed a smug look on his face, his eyes trembled slightly, and he sent a secret voice to the West General Ning Jing: "General Ning, don't worry about Shangguan Aoyun of the East County for now, prepare to kill these thieves in Qinghua Mountain City."
Ning Jing heard this, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a large piece of purple flames ignited on the remains of the Nine-tailed Spirit Scorpion in front of him, and the scorching heat rushed towards him.
A palm-sized three-tailed scorpion hid in the center of the fire, shaking its body, waving its front claws, and emitting strange purple ripples.
The burning sensation brought by the purple flame made Xu Yang and the other seven retreat.
Seeing this, Lu Wujie sent a message to Ning Jing in time: "Wait for now, I wonder if this scorpion will change."
In the purple flame, the shadow of a nine-tailed scorpion gradually became clear. On the countless spiritual stones under the flame, a trace of wandering spiritual power was scattered like countless swimming silver snakes crawling onto the shadow of the scorpion.
With a "bang", the shadow of the nine-tailed scorpion in the flame turned into purple stars and large patches of mist and dispersed.
Then, a large piece of purple mist spun in the air like a funnel and was sucked down. When the purple mist dissipated, a person appeared on the ground below.
This person was dressed in a green Confucian shirt, and his frosty white hair was neatly tied behind his head with a silver brocade. Wide forehead, high nose bridge, thin face, bright eyes, a fist-sized brown scorpion armor on the right cheek exudes a strange breath. What's more strange is that his right arm is actually a complete scorpion claw.
When the West County Lord Lv Wujie saw this man's face, he was surprised and trembling all over and blurted out: "Lord of the Realm!"
He carefully distinguished again and said calmly: "No, the breath on you is not Lord of the Realm. Who are you pretending to be a ghost here?"
At this time, the voice of the black cat Yetu came to Xu Yang's ears: "I have seen this person's face in the portrait enshrined in Xiaoxian Realm. He is the Lord of the Realm of Xiaoxian Realm, the only Yuanhun Realm strongman in the history of Xiaoxian Realm. At this time, he should have been taken away by this spirit scorpion. Legend has it that he disappeared for no reason many years ago, and I didn't expect him to fall here."
"How embarrassing, this rotten skin is completely different from the style of this scorpion." The scorpion man replied.
"Was Lord of the Realm killed by you, a monster?" Lv Wujie questioned.
"Of course not, he was killed by himself, killed by his own greed. This person did not do his job as the master of his small world, but was obsessed with immortality and ascending to the fairy world. Because his master Lu Qingyun told him that it was almost impossible for him to ascend to the fairy world with his qualifications and Tao heart. So Lu Qingyun left him in this small world. Unexpectedly, this person overestimated his own abilities and ran here to find the things left by Lu Qingyun, looking for an opportunity to break through the realm. Greedy, obsessed, and his soul exploded and died." The scorpion man explained.
"I guess you also made a move in this, otherwise why would you occupy the body of the master of the world."
"Yes, it was after he inhaled the soul-awakening scorpion mist I released that his death was accelerated. Before that, he also injured me, and this skin is used to pay for his disrespect to me." The scorpion man said without concealment.
"Why did Master Lu put you here?"
"Lu Qingyun made me into a puppet and then cast a spell to seal me here. He said that the resources in Xiaoxian Realm were scarce and these spiritual stones would be needed one day. My mission is to protect the spiritual stones here. If the war in Zhongyuan Realm is settled, he will come back and try to make Xiaoxian Realm return to Zhongyuan Realm. For some reason, he never came back."
When Lu Wujie heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he thought quickly in his mind, and then continued: "Before, have many True Dan Realm cultivators entered here?"
"Of course, I killed them all. Once the spirit stones are taken away, the death contract that Lu Qingyun placed on me will automatically take effect. But it is also their own fault. Lu Qingyun has placed a ban on me. I will only wake up if the people who enter are greedy for the spirit stones. If you just want to distribute the spirit stones here to the people in Xiaoxianjie, the spirit stones here can be taken away at will. But everyone who comes here, without exception, wants to put these spirit stones into their own pockets."
"Where is the way out from Xiaoxianjie back to Zhongyuanjie?" Xu Yang asked in time.
"Kill me, and you will know the way out. However, there is only one way for you, and that is the Yellow Spring Road. Because I will kill you all. Isn't it embarrassing?
Lu Qingyun made a thousand calculations and split my body into two halves, making a puppet for each. But the half with the heart retains a trace of my memory and survival instinct. After more than a hundred years, when the seal on my body gradually weakens, it will be time for me to come out. At that time, I will be the king of this small world."
The scorpion man became more and more proud as he spoke, and suddenly raised his right arm with scorpion claws, and circles of purple soul domains spread from his body.
"Yuanhun Realm! This scorpion man can actually release the soul domain! Go!" Shangguan Aoyun shouted loudly when he saw the soul domain attacking him.
Everyone turned around and looked at the entrance from which they came.
Seeing that a purple shadow flashed at the entrance, the scorpion man blocked the way like a ghost.
"Hehehe!"
The scorpion man laughed eeriely, and everyone heard it as if he was a demon blocking the road, which made people's scalps numb.
"This scorpion man is indeed troublesome. It seems that only by activating the Moon Illusion Bead at the right time can we leave this place." Black Cat Ye Tu transmitted the message.
After Xu Yang heard it, his consciousness moved, and the crystal clear Moon Illusion Bead appeared in his palm.
"Hahaha! Monster, you just released the pseudo soul realm, and you want to keep this princess here, what a joke!"
The West Princess Lu Wujie said loudly, and then pointed the tip of the long sword in his hand at the scorpion man opposite.
"Monster, do you know the origin of this sword!"
After hearing it, the scorpion man looked carefully and trembled all over.
"This! This sword was actually used by Lu Qingyun?"
The moment when he was killed by Lu Qingyun was deeply imprinted in the scorpion man's memory.
I still remember that I was teleported from the evil spirit world to this world by someone using summoning magic. As the proud Nine-tailed Scorpion clan of the evil spirit world, they were slaughtering the inferior race of humans wantonly, when a handsome young scholar appeared in front of them.
The scholar seemed weak and said lightly: "Little bug, Lu Qingyun wants your life." He raised his hand and the sword fell, and a blue light passed through the middle of his body. The scholar slapped out again, with the power of overturning the sky, and was shattered to pieces... Terrible!
"This is your bad fate. At the beginning, Immortal Master Lu Qingyun left two disciples in this world. One was the Lord of the Realm who was murdered by you, and the other was my master Song Yunjun. My master Song Yunjun unfortunately died during the rebellion of the scattered cultivators in the Xiaoxian Realm. But his two disciples became the East and West Princesses of the Xiaoxian Realm respectively. The West Princess is me, and my senior brother Wang Zhuoyun has fallen as the East Princess. This sword was left by Immortal Master Lu Qingyun, and now it has been passed to me. Remember, this sword is called "Rage Waves".
You will fall under this sword again!"
The last sentence Lu Wujie said fiercely.
"I didn't expect that the East and West County Lords of Xiaoxian Realm are actually brothers. This Lv Wujie and you are also uncle and nephew." Xu Yang asked in a low voice.
"East and West County are of the same origin, but Lv Wujie is determined to sit on the position of the Lord of Xiaoxian Realm and wants to kill all other scattered cultivators in Xiaoxian Realm, while my master Wang Zhuoyun advocates leaving a way out for scattered cultivators under the rule of Confucianism. People with different paths cannot work together. The disagreement between the two on this point made them drift apart and repeatedly evolved into a war between East and West County." Black Cat Ye Tu explained.
At this time, Lv Wujie made a sword finger and pointed at his forehead. A blue light flashed at his forehead. His mental power and magic power both burst out. Blue light flowed around his body, his beard and hair flew backwards, and his clothes danced wildly.
The sword intent on the Kuanglan Sword in the other hand seemed to be sensed and kept humming.
The next moment, circles of water-colored ripples on the Kuanglan Sword swung in all directions like a raging wave.
"Sword Realm! I didn't expect that Lu Wujie could actually cultivate the Sword Realm!" Black Cat Ye Tu exclaimed.
The Sword Realm is a realm created when a sword cultivator in the True Dan Realm injects his powerful mental power into the long sword and exerts the sword intent to the peak. The power is similar to the soul realm exerted by a Yuanhun Realm strongman, but the power is much inferior. The difficulty of practicing the Sword Realm is comparable to breaking through the Yuanhun Realm. Therefore, even for sword cultivators, few people can cultivate the Sword Realm.
"Sword Realm Dan Killing Technique - Galaxy Sky Water!"
The golden outer core of the True Dan in Lu Wujie's body melted rapidly, and the powerful mana poured into the famous sword "Rage Wave" in his hand like a raging wave.
In just a moment, the sword came out, and the sword intent turned into a brilliant light like the Milky Way pouring down, unstoppable and overwhelming.
Seeing this, the scorpion man on the opposite side spun the purple flames on his claw arm, and then the claw arm slashed down fiercely.
A long dragon of purple flames roared out, and at the head of the dragon of the flames, a ferocious nine-tailed spirit scorpion phantom condensed like a real one.
The ultimate moves collided, the strong wind raged, and the rumbling sound shook the entire underground palace as if it was about to collapse.
In the explosion, a line of blue light passed through, and on the other side, a nine-tailed spirit scorpion phantom escaped.
The blue line flashed from the center of the scorpion man's head, and the scorpion man's skin was cut in half by the blue line.
On the other side, all of Lu Wujie's mental power was concentrated on this line of sword intent, and it was too late to dodge the attacking nine-tailed spirit scorpion phantom.
The nine-tailed spirit scorpion phantom, which looked only the size of a palm, hit his chest, and the whole person was thrown back like a sack, flying ten feet backwards, and a mouthful of bright red sprayed out. The clothes on his chest were torn, his hair was messy, his face was as pale as paper, and he was listless.
A figure flashed and came in front of Lu Wujie. It was General Ning Jing of the West. Without hesitation, Ning Jing helped Lu Wujie up.
"The princess's body is important, so we should not stay here for long."
"Thank you, General." At this moment, Lv Wujie's internal organs were churning, his heart was injured, and he could not muster any more mana. The sword attack just now was just a forced one. He was hit by the nine-tailed spirit scorpion, and it was a blessing that he did not die on the spot.
Ning Jing supported Lv Wujie's injured body and turned into a shadow to run towards the exit.
When his eyes saw the remains of the scorpion man cut in two on the ground at the exit, he actually felt a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation on his body. Ning Jing, carrying the seriously injured Lv Wujie, moved even faster, and disappeared into the corridor in a flash.
