Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 14
After the First World War, Xia He self-examined, although he possessed the five-element divine light of the golden light of the escape ground and the ancient light of the seven treasures, his current cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining is still too low to exert the power of these two divine lights The half-human, half-corpse Nie Wuhuan half a month ago was just a mid-innate cultivation base, equivalent to the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining. The refined corpse in question has the strength of the seventh level of Qi refining, and the purple fire spewing out of his mouth can actually restrain his own golden light, and his body is ten times stronger than Nie Wuhuan, and can block the sharp slashing of the golden light Well, tonight's battle seemed to be taking advantage of him, cutting off one of Lian Zong's hands, but Lian Zong retreated on his own initiative.

What troubled Xia He was that the wisdom of refining corpses was obviously higher than that of Nie Wuhuan, who was half-human and half-corpse. Being able to calmly judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves, facing a situation that is unfavorable to oneself, and leaving regardless of face, this kind of wisdom is more powerful than some ordinary people.

What Xia He is worried about is that there may not be only one of the immortal cultivators behind Grand Master Nie to refine corpses. The unknown soldiers on Baima Street that day were corpse refiners, who could send corpse refiners to protect their clansmen. There must be a lot of corpses available to the master, and there must be many half-human, half-corpse like Nie Wuhuan. Although he is strong, he is alone.

Considering the conflict between Prime Minister Su and Grand Master Nie, the two are the leaders of the reformist faction and the conservative faction respectively. General Yi Jin Bubai, because he neither wanted to be drawn in by Prime Minister Su nor to join Grand Master Nie, was framed by the two parties and charged with treason, which ended in a tragic end of ransacking his family.

If he hadn't offended Su Yaozong, Xia He would definitely be protected by Prime Minister Su by relying on his innate late-stage strength. However, since the matter has been done, Xia He has no regrets. He would rather be chased and killed by Grand Master Nie.

Thinking about Lu Shangshu's attitude towards him recently, Xia He felt that something was wrong. He was politely invited to the mansion by the old butler sent by Lu Shangshu. People are usually polite to themselves, but unexpectedly after he killed Nie Wuhuan, Lu Shangshu's attitude seemed to change drastically, not to mention Lu Shangshu, even the housekeeper Lao Qiu didn't come to see him, Xia He helped them kill Enemy, thank you without saying a word, which is really too much. Like today, no one came to ask about the movement here. It must be Lu Shangshu who gave the order not to allow anyone to approach the courtyard where he lives.

No wonder Xia He is so suspicious. Now he has offended Su Chengxiang and Nie Taishi, who are powerful in the government and the public. It is said that Su Chengxiang and Nie Taishi each hold half of the court. Xia He offended the entire imperial court. How powerful is this? Let's look at Huo Feitian's innate master.

Speaking of which, Xia He offended Grand Master Nie because of Lu Shangshu. Nie Wuhuan originally wanted to trouble Lu Shangshu. Xia He killed Nie Wuhuan under the eyes of everyone. Obviously, he took the hatred on himself. As a result, Lu Shangshu The whole family is fine now, Xia He has now become Grand Master Nie's enemy, but Lu Shangshu did not show any signs of receiving this great favor, how could he not make Xia He feel cold.

His mind was very chaotic, Xia He couldn't calm down to practice, looked at the gradually dimming moonlight outside the window, and thought that Lu Shangshu didn't know what he was doing at this time, thinking of this, Xia He had an idea in his mind, he wanted to see what Lu Shangshu was doing now, The movement of the fight here is so loud, even if Lu Shangshu was still asleep, he should be awake now.

Xia He dived outside the study of Lu's mansion, saw the lights were still on in the window, knew that Lu Shangshu hadn't gone to bed, and there were two people talking in the study, their voices were very low, chatting in the study in the middle of the night, it must be For extremely private matters, Xia He is an immortal cultivator, and his five sense organs are so sensitive that ordinary people can hear them clearly even if the voices of the people in the study are kept low.

The two people talking in the study were Lord Lu, Minister of Rites, and Lao Qiu, his confidant butler.

Lu Shangshu said, "Old Qiu, what do you think of today's incident?"

Lao Qiu said, "My lord, Xia He first killed Nie Wuhuan, a member of Grand Master Nie's family, which has already caused a catastrophe. Today, he also offended Nie Tianzong, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, and wounded Commander Nie's entourage. I'm afraid our family won't be able to afford such a catastrophic disaster."

Lu Shangshu said with some hesitation, "This Xiahe has been kind to me. Taishi Nie is too deceitful. He couldn't win me over, so he wanted to force me to join him. He sent Nie Wuhuan and other crazy people to humiliate me several times. Well, I, Lu, am an official of the imperial court, and he beats me every two days to yell and scold me, what face do I have?"

Lao Qiu went on to say, "Master, that's not what you said. Nie Wuhuan is an innate expert, ten times stronger than me. If you want to deliberately embarrass the master, I'm afraid you don't have to talk nonsense, just do it directly and say something disrespectful. Wu Huan's ability to destroy my entire family in Lu's house is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand, master, have you ever thought that he just insulted and screamed several times. At most, he killed a few insignificant guards, why is that?"

Lu Shangshu said thoughtfully, "You mean..."

Lao Qiu nodded and said, "Master Nie is giving you a step down. You have rejected Grand Master Nie several times, and you are already well-known. Others say that you are upright and not afraid of power. If you suddenly If you vote for Grand Master Nie, what will the officials think of you?"

Lu Shangshu clapped his hands and said, "That's right, let me put it this way, I'm weak, even if I have party members, I'm a lowly official and can't help. But in this way, where is my character as a literati?"

Lao Qiu said, "Yes, master, Grand Master Nie probably also knows that you have changed your mind, master, and he specially thought of you. Sending Nie Wuhuan is just for a show, so that others can see how you endured the humiliation, master. I have been humiliated several times, and the lives of the whole family have been threatened. In this case, if you turn to Taishi Nie in the end, master, no one will say anything. After all, people are born with flesh, so it is understandable for master to do so."

Lu Shangshuzhi nodded triumphantly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "No, according to what you said, wouldn't it be better for me to vote for Prime Minister Su? If Grand Master Nie treated me like this, wouldn't it be better for me to vote for Prime Minister Su?" Trust me, Prime Minister Su will use me more confidently."

Lao Qiu hurriedly said, "Master, please don't think so. Grand Master Nie is willing to do this for you, and it is already a lot of work. If the master doesn't know how to flatter you and turns to his enemy, you may be wiped out in an instant." Moreover, Grand Master Nie's move is so big, and Prime Minister Su didn't express anything to you, Master, probably because he doesn't take you seriously."

Lu Shangshu snorted dissatisfiedly, and said, "That's because Prime Minister Su doesn't know talents. According to what you say, Grand Master Nie is thinking about me."

Lao Qiu said, "That's true. Grand Master Nie has already prepared the steps for you, Master. As long as you go down the steps, Master, everyone will be happy. It's a pity that Xia He came out halfway and killed Grand Master Nie's confidants. Offended Grand Master Nie."

Lu Shangshu said distressedly, "When I invited Xia He back then, I wanted to use him to block Nie Wuhuan and prevent me from being insulted, but who would have thought that this man would be so cruel that he would kill Nie Wuhuan on the spot? It's too late to stop it, it's a pity that my small pavilion in the lake, such an elegant place, has been made to smell bad, so it can be regarded as abolished."

Lao Qiu said, "My lord, it's much easier to ask God to send God to Xiahe now, we have to think of a perfect plan, how to deal with this matter."

Lu Shangshu nodded and said, "That's right, the old man actually wants to surrender to Grand Master Nie. Sincerity is indispensable. If nothing else, the murderer who killed Grand Master Nie's subordinates will not be able to stay. Lao Qiu, go and drive him away with me." Get out of Lu Mansion."

Lao Qiu said in embarrassment. "My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Xia He's skills are extremely high. The villain is only innately strong in the early stage. Even Nie Wuhuan is not as good as him. Xia He cut Nie Wuhuan in half. The villain wants to drive away with this strength. He, that is to die."

Lu Shangshu repeatedly complained, and said, "Old Qiu, don't you martial arts practitioners have sweat medicine and poison, you can use some on that Xiahe, although it is a dirty thing, but you can't take care of it when you are in a hurry."

Lao Qiu smiled wryly, "Master doesn't know, there are very few poisons that can hurt the innate masters. Compared with Xiahe's small tricks in the world, I am afraid that they will not be effective."

Lu Shangshu suddenly thought of something, and said hastily, "Old Qiu, the Lu family will not be able to drive away this murderer, but Grand Master Nie has an expert under his command, so I have a plan to lure the murderer out of the city, and ask Mrs. Nie The master sent his masters to set up an ambush, besieged and strangled the murderer, and that would be the end of it all, this is also my tribute to Grand Master Nie."

Lao Qiu smiled wryly in his heart, after all, this master has not lost his literati-eyed temper, I have a trick at every turn, it is easy to say, it is obvious that the Lu family has neglected Xia He in the past few days, what method can be used to lure Xia He out of the city Not to mention, colluding with Grand Master Nie is also difficult to do.

Xia He outside the window could clearly hear the conversation between Lu Shangshu and Lao Qiu's master and servant. The two men's sinister intentions, ruthless calculations and greedy faces were fully revealed. At first, Xia He thought of ending their relationship with a golden light Name, always in my heart, Lu Shangshu, a villain, even though he has thousands of tricks in his heart, it is difficult to pose a threat to himself. Only Grand Master Nie is his own enemy. Why don't you just plan and take advantage of this opportunity? Taishi Nie was seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Xia He was in no mood to listen anymore. He flew away and went back to his guest room, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming fierce battle. The progress of his cultivation has been going smoothly, but it is impossible to directly break through the qi refining From the seventh floor to the eighth floor, the current plan is to strengthen one's own strength as much as possible.

Xia He has been focusing on the cultivation of the Taishang Mie Dao Sutra recently, thinking that only improving the cultivation base is the way. He doesn't involve much in the most commonly used formations, talismans, and magic tools for immortal cultivators, but it is these small ways that he has just learned. It is the foundation for immortal cultivators to survive and survive. While cultivating the Dao, they must also cultivate spells and talismans, so that immortal cultivators can survive calamities again and again.

Now, Lu Shangshu premeditatedly cooperates with Grand Master Nie to set up an ambush to murder Xiahe. This is the first catastrophe that Xiahe faces on his way to cultivating immortality. Facing this unprecedented crisis, Xiahe has prepared enough means to deal with it.
