Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 456 Acting
The fifth thief - the Thousand-Faced Judge.

After a brief thought, Lu Ye found the memories related to Madam Jiuchai.

A veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, he had been famous for a very long time. Even before Madam Jiuchai made a name for herself, she was already a well-known thief who roamed the East China Sea.

The title of Thirty-Six Thieves was awarded by the East China Sea cultivators by a large business alliance organization called Sihailou based on many factors including the number of evil deeds committed by the cultivators each year, their influence, the number of murders and robberies, etc.

Madam Jiuchai also took the top spot in recent years. Before her, the top spot on the list of Thirty-Six Thieves had been held by several people.

The Thousand Faces Judge has always been on the list, usually ranking fourth or fifth.

His movement style is always dressed in black, with a badge with the word "capture" on his waist and a pair of judge's pen spiritual weapons.

He seldom takes action, and when he does, it is fine if he does not take action at all, but whenever he does take action, he always robs valuable treasures.

Moreover, he does not like to kill indiscriminately, but his pair of judge's pens are used to destroy people's sea of ​​consciousness and sea of ​​qi, leaving behind a bunch of fools or desperate poor people with ruptured sea of ​​qi. Such a bad behavior makes people even more frightened.

In addition, every time he committed a crime, he would appear old or young, handsome or ugly, and sometimes even appear as a demon or monster, so people called him the Thousand-Faced Judge. It was only roughly certain that he was probably a male.

The Thirty-Six Thieves were not a tight organization. At most, some of the big thieves could share some channels for selling stolen goods.

As a general rule, the first ten are almost all Nascent Soul cultivators, and the following are the powerful Golden Core cultivators ranked in order.

Madam Jiuchai had never dealt with the Thousand-Faced Judge, and she had always suspected that the Thousand-Faced Judge's true identity might be a member of a famous sect.

Lu Ye recalled the relevant information in his mind.

If the Taoist Miyan and the Scholar Silver Hand behind the organization are really the elusive Thousand-Faced Judge, it is possible.

A Nascent Soul cultivator is powerful enough to command two Golden Cores to run errands, and he is also capable of planting restrictions in the spiritual bodies of the two.

"Could it be the fifth thief, the Thousand-Faced Judge?" Lu Ye asked doubtfully.

Gui Baozhu scratched his head.

"maybe."

"I wonder if Sihailou is just too bored."

“I like to come up with various rankings.”

"What about the East Sea Celestial Immortal Ranking, the East Sea Heaven, Earth and Human Ranking, the East Sea Tribulation Cultivation Ranking, even those female Bodhisattvas have to be ranked first, second and third."

"This fifth one might be too many."

Everyone is still wondering which list the fifth one is on.

Shu Chitu said, what a coincidence, there are people with the surname "Di" among the cultivators and the monsters, this might be the mysterious person with the surname Di.

Everyone was even more confused after hearing this.

On the other side, Wang Hu was still trying hard to explain to Zhang Cunyi that he was just trying to scare him.

Who would have thought that this silver-handed scholar had a serious mysophobia and was afraid of cesspools like a tiger, so he actually spit and exploded.

He can't get over this.

Gui Baozhu was pondering on the side.

"Colorful dragon scales?"

"What is that?"

"What does it have to do with the Dragon Palace?"

Taoist Miyan was imprisoned and tortured for a year, and everyone knew that he actually came for clues about the Dragon Palace.

Shu Chitu said that maybe it was the "key" to open the Dragon Palace?

When everyone heard about the Dragon Palace, they immediately started discussing it.

We have been settled on Zhongxiang Island for a year now, and we are no longer the blind people who knew nothing when we first arrived.

Legend has it that the Dragon Palace Immortal Mansion was the cave residence of the last deity who emerged from the East China Sea thousands of years ago and left various clear records.

The Taoist name of the True Lord is Red Dragon, and people generally call him Red Dragon True Lord.

Strictly speaking, Lord Red Dragon is a respectful title given by cultivators. He has not yet cultivated to the level of a true dragon, but he has dragon blood in his body. He was originally a black water king snake, and then after hard training and step-by-step evolution, he finally became a red dragon.

After he achieved the state of transformation into a god, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had declined to the point where it could no longer support his breakthrough. Unfortunately, he died of old age, and when his time was up, his cave abode, Jiaolong Island, was sunk to the bottom of the sea.

And relying on his incredible magical powers, he carried the island away on the bottom of the sea and eventually disappeared.

The most precious thing on Jiaolong Island is of course the remains of the Red Dragon True Lord after his death, which is the top-level material for refining puppets.

In addition, dragons love money, and the Red Dragon Lord likes to collect the most precious treasures in the world.

When he rose to power during his lifetime, he dominated the entire East China Sea for a thousand years. One can imagine how rich his treasury was.

The Jiaolong Island that sank to the bottom of the water has occasionally appeared over the past thousands of years according to the formation arranged by the True Lord during his lifetime.

Some lucky descendants caught a glimpse of the legendary Jiaolong Island at the bottom of the sea and said that they really saw it.

But it turns out that they were almost all rumors.

For thousands of years, no matter they are the righteous or evil cultivators, or the various robbers and independent cultivators, everyone in the East China Sea is most keen on finding the cave where the Red Dragon True Lord lives, which is called the Immortal Palace of Dragon Palace.

Everyone discussed it for a while, and when the excitement wore off, they all frowned.

Pan Furong muttered.

"Isn't this damned Dragon Palace near the Bilang Cape?"

The Dragon Palace is good.

But if it really appears near Cape Bilang, that would be bad news.

Among the powerful people who heard the news, no one knew who would have the last laugh, but everyone was afraid that the innocent little fish would be harmed.

If this news is true, wouldn't the Bilangjiao Islands be smashed to pieces?

Lu Ye and Gui Baozhu, the two Jindan ancestors, cannot guard the huge wealth at their doorstep.

Lu Ye waved his hand and smiled.

"You are worrying too much. Taoist Miyan is obviously looking for the whereabouts of the seven-colored dragon scale nearby. It may be related to the Dragon Palace Immortal Mansion."

"Maybe the dragon scale is a map, maybe it's a key, or maybe it's nothing at all, just a rumor."

"Right now, the Silver Hand Scholar is dead, and the Miyan Taoist has been captured."

"The person behind the scenes has placed a ban on their brains. They should know whether Yin Shoushu is dead or alive by now."

"We need to get as much information as possible before he makes any new moves."

"So as not to be caught off guard."

Everyone looked at each other.

Wang Hu kicked the Silver Hand Scholar hard several times.

"Look at you, you have already achieved the Golden Core, but you are still so timid."

"I was just trying to scare you, why did you explode?"

"We should let the Thousand-Faced Judge take that Judge's Pen and poke you on the head twice to cure your problem!"

After hearing this, Lu Ye's eyes lit up and he turned to Gui Baozhu.

"Old Five, when we came back, we were in the water the whole time. Not many people saw us, right?"

"Brother, I had a great battle with the Silver Hand Scholar, and all the boats on the channel were scared away. We went underwater again, and I dived deep, so no one saw us on our way back."

"Yes, and we took the narrow waterway that leads directly to the tower, and no one on the island saw us."

"Indeed!"

Snapped!
Lu Ye clapped his hands.

"Okay, come on, let's all put on a show."

"By the way, where are those disciples who just washed away the Silver Hand Scholar? Give them a chance to practice in the tower for a few months and don't go out and interact with others."

After Lu Ye gave these instructions, everyone understood and then took action separately.

Wang Hu raised objections.

"Brother, the Silver Hand Scholar's ban exploded, and the person behind the scenes should know about it. What's the point of you doing this?"

Lu Ye shook his head and smiled.

"Huzi, don't think you can get fat in one bite. I'm not fishing for that mysterious person. I'm fishing for some small shrimps first to test the waters."

"Okay, let's get started. Time is still a bit tight."

Gui Baozhu and Lu Ye dived into the seabed respectively, hid their bodies and slipped away using water escape.

Later.

There was a thunder in the air, shaking the entire island.

The cultivators in the market town below looked up and saw a flash of lightning in the sky. Two people were wrapped in the light and were heading straight for the island from the outer sea.

Escape from the light.

One of them was the familiar island master Lu Daoren, and the other was held under his arm, with a small head and an iron body, unconscious. He was the second island master Gui Baozhu Golden Dan Turtle King.

At this moment, Gui Baozhu's face turned blue and white foam came out of his cherry mouth, as if he had been poisoned.

Behind the two of them.

There was a rumbling sound.

The sea water exploded, creating waves, and another hazy silver figure almost followed the two of them.

However, the monk's face could not be seen clearly in the silver light, one could only see that he was wearing a pair of silver gloves.

The cultivators in the market town looked at each other, and then a low voice of discussion arose.

"Someone is chasing the two island owners?"

"Which powerful person beat the two Jindan ancestors so hard that they fled in disgrace?"

"How dare you! It's clearly my ancestor trying to lure the enemy deeper into our territory!"

"Yes, once that villain enters the formation, he will realize how powerful it is!"

"Hiss, that's the silver arm, isn't it the thirty-fifth silver-arm-stealing scholar?"

"Ha, don't scare me. How could our remote place attract the Thirty-Six Thieves?"

I saw two beams of light flying towards the pirates from the sky, one in front and one behind.

There was a soft buzzing sound.

Outside the island, a transparent light shield like an inverted bowl lit up. It was the first layer of the Zhongxiang Island defense array.

Island Master Lu, covered in lightning, rushed in with Gui Baozhu.

The silver figure behind bumped into him.

Boom!

There was a big hole in the defensive magic shield, which was actually broken open by force, and he squeezed in in a hair's breadth before it could recover.

All the cultivators in the market town looked up in amazement.

"Too fierce, actually daring to force his way into the island's formation!"

"Humph, if he dares to come in, I will bury him in Zhongxiang Island! The outermost layer is just the first layer of the magic circle, which can defend against cultivators with foundation building strength. The next layer inside is the formation to deal with Jindan cultivators! He will never come back!"

"Hiss..., fellow Daoist, I'm not trying to argue with you, but Elder Lu and Elder Gui are both outside, so who will preside over the formation inside and activate the second level of the Golden Core Formation?"

"Ah?" The disciple on the island suddenly raised his voice, "It's bad!"

high in the air.

Everyone saw the silver light of lightning, one after another, almost reaching the foot of Zhongxiang Peak.

Patriarch Lu roared and started the formation!
There was a buzzing sound of light flashing on the two tall towers, and dazzling light flashed at each node under Zhongxiang Peak.

A layer of light curtain slowly unfolded from the ground and quickly gathered into the air, like a big net moving from the ground to the air.

Above the market town.

The monks and disciples from various islands of Bilang Cape had already flown away. "Oh, too slow! Too slow! Without the operation of the ancestor, this formation is too slow to react!"

"A third-level formation, if it weren't for the Jindan Patriarch's spiritual consciousness and magical power, it would take a long time for a foundation-building cultivator to activate it!"

“I can’t catch up!”

"It's still too difficult for Pan and Lan, who are both foundation-building masters, to control a third-level magic array!"

Various expressions flashed across the faces of the monks on the islands of Bilangjiao. Some were gloating, some were sighing, and some were just watching the fun.

Only the disciples on the island were anxious.

really.

Before the protective light curtain at the foot of Zhongxiang Peak was fully deployed, the lightning and silver lights had already passed through.

Boom!

In full view.

The silver light followed the lightning, and the two fought fiercely. The brilliant light waves illuminated the earth, and the aftermath of spiritual energy impacted the surroundings.

The sky was filled with smoke and dust.

The crowd couldn't see what was happening on the mountain, they could only hear roars and loud noises.

The earth seemed to be shaking.

The golden elixirs fought against each other with incredible power.

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and the earth trembled slightly.

The market town is now filled with monks, and the air is crowded with them!
They suddenly felt the sky brighten, and those who reacted quickly looked around.

"Oh no, the defensive formation of the market town has failed! This is part of the large formation on the island. Could it be that there is a problem with the island protection formation?"

Everyone looked up quickly.

Sure enough, the light shield that had covered the sky above the market town for years disappeared.

The thin gauze-like magic shield surrounding the island also disappeared.

At the foot of Zhongxiang Peak, the second layer of defensive light curtains that were rapidly rising into the sky, before they could close, directly collapsed into light spots all over the sky!
"Is the control hub of the magic circle destroyed?" a monk asked tremblingly.

"Wow..." A young disciple on the island burst into tears out of anxiety.

There was smoke all over the Zhongxiang Peak.

Suddenly a silver light flew out, and the mysterious man was holding a man in his hand. He was bent over and unconscious. All that could be seen was that he was wearing tattered clothes, had long hair and a beard, and had long chains on his body, like a prisoner.

The mysterious man laughed loudly.

"The road is yours, the two island masters. I won't see you off!"

"What happened today will be rewarded handsomely someday!"

His figure was like a streak of silver light, passing through the sky of Nakago Island like lightning and disappearing into the open sea, leaving behind only arrogant laughter.

On Zhongxiang Peak, the smoke and dust dissipated.

Then he looked at the scenery on the island, two towers and a lonely peak. Now one of the two tall towers had collapsed and it had become a ruin. Several disciples were running around in panic.

A bright light flashed across the body of another tall tower.

Outside the high tower, at the foot of Zhongxiang Peak, and on the outskirts of the island, the nodes of the magic array lit up one by one.

buzzing.

Layer upon layer of defensive light curtains rose into the air again and closed together at an incredible speed, forming three layers of different-colored light shields that enveloped the island.

Above the market town.

Another knowledgeable and intelligent monk murmured.

"Did you see that? This is how a Jindan cultivator activates a formation!"

"It's a pity that Patriarch Lu also went out to sea to save Patriarch Gui, otherwise he would not have allowed this person to invade the island and run rampant!"

"Fortunately, only one of the twin towers on the island collapsed. The two ancestors were very attentive and actually designed a double-disc defense formation. This formation can still be used."

"What's the point of being useful?" Someone lowered his voice and sneered, "We've lost face when someone broke into our island and seized our people and broke our formation!"

"But if that person is the Silver Hand Scholar, it wouldn't be surprising."

"I'm curious about who the prisoner was that man took away?"

The cultivators were discussing the matter. Most of the cultivators from the islands in Bilang Cape were there to watch the fun, thinking that what they had seen today could be boasted about for a year.

In the battle of Golden Elixir, a mysterious visitor, suspected to be the Silver Hand Scholar, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, destroyed the formation and captured the person, then escaped safely, and Lu Gui Erzu became a background figure.

Wow, Zhongxiang Island has relied on the market to absorb wealth from all directions over the past year. Because of the sufficient supply and the many elixirs and talismans that are special products of Dazhongzhou, it is very prosperous and bustling.

Some islands benefited from it, while others suffered losses.

No matter what, today, the second ancestor of Zhongxiang Island became a topic of conversation and made a name for himself, but it was not a very good thing. I don’t know how many people were gloating behind the scenes, watching the two high and mighty ancestors fall flat on their faces.

air.

The silver light carried the unconscious Taoist Miyan all the way and finally landed on a deserted island.

Two people walked out from the escaping light.

Lu Ye, whose face had turned pale, waved his arm.

puff.

Taoist Miyan was thrown to the ground like a torn sack.

He waved his arms, tried his fingers again, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This arm is really nice to wear. What a clever spiritual weapon."

Today, in full view of the public, he and everyone on the island performed a play.

He and Gui Baozhu used water escape to sneak out of the island, and then he held Gui Baozhu and acted out an escape scene.

The one behind was just a foundation-building corpse puppet controlled by magic power, wearing silver gloves and chasing after him.

All kinds of magnificent spells were controlled by Lu Ye, including the first-level formation. With his cooperation as the formation master, wouldn't it be a simple matter to make a breakthrough?
The two men and the puppet ran directly to the top of the mountain.

The tower where Gui Baozhu was located was destroyed, and then Gui Baozhu entered Lu Ye's tower to control the magic circle. In the eyes of everyone, he should be unconscious, and they would think that it was Patriarch Lu who was taking action.

Lu Ye took the opportunity to change his clothes, put on the silver armband, and rushed out of the island with the Taoist Misty Smoke, saying a few harsh words, and left in public.

In this way, a complete chase scene and an exciting one-on-one meeting are completed.

The only drawback is that there is some resistance among our own people.

Gui Baozhu was reluctant to leave his turtle-shaped building and said, "Brother, if you want to destroy it, just destroy your own building. Why destroy mine?"

Lu Ye responded directly.

If your building is destroyed, you can still live in the sea. If my building is destroyed, your sister-in-law and I can't stay in the sea, right?

Gui Baozhu was choked to death and the matter was dropped.

"Alright," Lu Ye looked at the unconscious Taoist Miyan at his feet. Whether this play can be performed well still needs his cooperation, "it depends on how you perform."

He waved his hand.

Two magical instruments of retreat from the mortal world were pulled up and fell into his palm.

Almost at the same time.

The unconscious Taoist Miyan blinked his eyes and suddenly jumped up. The golden elixir magic power that had been suppressed for a year burst out and attacked in all directions.

Lu Ye put his arms in front of him to block the magic power rushing towards him.

Only then did Taoist Miyan realize that he was no longer in prison, but on a deserted island.

"Silver-handed Scholar?" He looked at Lu Ye with a look of surprise and caution.

They all come from the realm of robbery cultivators, so suspicion is their instinct.

Lu Ye snapped his fingers.

"what……"

Taoist Miyan screamed and fell to the ground.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a golden thorn emitted bursts of green light and pierced into the spiritual body. A large area of ​​green light spread out, wantonly smearing and erasing the Taoist Miyan's memory, and at the same time, his spiritual intelligence was also destroyed.

The forbidden part of Taoist Miyan's spirit formed a rune, standing still and guarding the core memory.

"Almost there," Lu Ye muttered, "I should be the first one to use the Convulsion Hunyuan Needle like this, right?"

"Just don't become a fool, or you won't be able to communicate."

He took back his magic power.

Taoist Miyan opened his eyes again, and his eyes were filled with the clear light of stupidity.

He was surprised to see Lu Ye wearing the Silver Hand Scholar vest.

"Fourth brother, did you save me, the fifth brother?"

"Did Big Brother send you here?"

He speaks slowly and dully, and even his pronunciation is not very fluent.

Lu Ye: "..."

Very good, there is the eldest brother, and the fourth and fifth brothers, and it seems there are also the second and third brothers in front.

So much information is revealed in one sentence.

This is pretty stupid.

Lu Ye nodded and said with a gloomy face.

"Fifth brother, how do you do things?"

"Just to find something, I capsized in this small place!"

"Do you know how much risk I took to save you this time?"

"Break through the island and break the formation!"

"How disappointed do you have to be to Big Brother? If Big Brother gets angry and activates the restriction in your brain, you will be dead!"

According to Lu Ye's experience, it's always right to mention Brother Ti more often.

An expression of fear flashed across Taoist Miyan's face and he grabbed Lu Ye's arm.

"Fourth brother, please don't tell eldest brother."

"He has been locked up for ten years. We just need to find that thing before he comes out."

"I don't want to be killed!"

Lu Ye——Huh?

What a pleasant surprise.

Now the one who is restricted is confirmed to be the eldest brother first, and then the other party has been in seclusion for ten years, so does he have a chance to take down the second and third brothers?

It seems that the so-called brothers in this broken organization are nothing more than the big brother controlling a group of lackeys!
"Okay, Lao Wu, I will definitely help you!" Lu Ye nodded heavily.

"What do you want to do now?"

When Taoist Miyan saw that Lu Ye agreed to help, he was overjoyed at first, but then he was asked what he wanted to do.

His face gradually became ferocious.

"Revenge, of course!"

"That Gui Daoist has imprisoned me for a year. If I don't take revenge, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Lu Ye: "..."

It’s broken. Isn’t it a bit too silly?
