Chapter 153: Gathering at Nanlu, following the laws of heaven and earth

Six years passed in a flash.

The scenery inside the Soldier Storage Cave was almost the same as it was six years ago, except for the addition of a zombie dragon with nine heads. The dragon was lifeless, and its jet-black scales were as shiny as black iron.

Each head looks different and has a different color, representing different magical powers.

Under the nine-headed zombie dragon, beside the pavilion of the lake in the back garden, a cultivator sat cross-legged, breathing in the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Different from the colorful practice of other monks, this monk's practice is subtle and silent, without any unusual signs.

This is Xu Yang who is practicing the Stone Emperor Curse.

After six years of practice, he not only refined the nine-headed zombie, but also refined the law of heaven and earth, and absorbed the blood of the nine-headed insect to refine the nine-headed magic.

Recently I have been practicing a new method, the Stone Emperor Mantra. Once I have mastered this mantra, I can come out of seclusion.

But things are unpredictable, and something happened on the other side.

Four counties on the southern slope.

On this day, the county magistrate and the masters of various temples received jade talismans conveying messages.

In Yuanfu Temple, Taoist Yuanfu holds the jade talisman for transmitting messages.

"The Bronze Head has made a breakthrough and returned? This is going to be interesting."

Taoist Yuanfu was naturally happy to see this result. After all, he was also a member of the Saga County Palace. In recent years, the power of Jiuyou Temple had become increasingly powerful, and its influence had become increasingly extended, greatly squeezing the living space of the monks of Yuanfu Temple.

During this period, Taoist Yuanfu was in seclusion and broke through to the first level. He thought the situation would improve, but he didn't expect that the opponent had more first levels and he couldn't beat them. He could only act like a coward and try not to provoke the people from Jiuyou Temple.

Now that Tongshou has returned again and has broken through to the Great Elixir realm, it is time for Yuanfu Temple to counterattack.

"Notify the magistrate of Baigu County that we can set out next." Taoist Yuanfu was confident of victory.

He knew that the reason why the Taoist Master Tongshou gathered everyone together was simply to show everyone his strength and to establish his prestige with the help of the recently domineering Jiuyou Temple.

In short, after this banquet, the other party will definitely return to Nanlu and seize power in Nanlu.

No one in this place can match the cultivation level of Da Dan, let alone someone like Xu Yang who has only been refining the initial Dan for a few years.

Whoosh!

The sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and a black cloud was flying over the horizon.

Above the black cloud was a bronze-headed Taoist priest. Behind him were a group of bronze-cast Taoist soldiers and monks who looked exactly like him.

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor, for returning to the South Slope." The disciples behind him flattered him.

They have been feeling depressed these years. There are so many masters in the嵯'e County Palace that they have to stay in the palace all the time. They are not as free and easy as when they were in Nanlu. Now that they are back in Nanlu, they will return to the days when they were high and mighty and did whatever they wanted.

"Hmph, it's difficult. Taoist Zhigang is stationed at Jiuyou Temple. It's not easy to deal with this person."

The solution that Taoist Tongshou thought of was to force Xu Yang at the banquet to return the soldier cave. In this way, the matter was already done, and Taoist Zhigang could do nothing about it, after all, he was also a great elixir cultivator.

"Report! Disciple has checked it out. Taoist Zhigang returned to the county government two months ago and has not returned since."

"Okay, okay, God help me!"

The bronze-headed Taoist clapped his hands and laughed.

Next, getting the cave back will no longer be a problem.

Three days later.

The banquet was held at Yuanfu Temple in Fenglong County.

The county magistrates and temple masters of Ganlu, Fenglong, Longcong and Quhuang counties had all arrived. Except for Zhao Ziyan from Jiuyou Temple, all the others participated in person.

In the mountains near Fenglong County, a pair of calm eyes stared at Yuanfu Temple.

This middle-aged monk was wearing a green robe with a green lightning pattern on his chest. This was the Yin Lei of the Chechi Zhang family.

"The Zhang family's methods must not be leaked out. Xu Yang is practicing the Yin Lei method, which will definitely be detrimental to the Zhang family in the future. We must not let him stay."

Zhang Renwen remembered what his father Zhang Tai said to him before he left. Xu Yang had killed his grandson Zhang Siyuan before, and had already had a grudge with the Zhang family, but the Zhang family had so many enemies that Xu Yang had to rank behind; the person who really prompted the Zhang family to kill was Yin Lei.

Thunder magic is a first-class ancient and unique martial art, whether in ancient times or in the present. There is no cultivator who is not strong when practicing thunder magic. Among cultivators of the same realm, those who practice thunder magic are often stronger.

Therefore, thunder magic is a secret of the sect. Once an outsider learns this method, he will be hunted down endlessly by the Zhang family.

This time, the Zhang family sent out the second-in-command Zhang Renwen, with the purpose of killing Xu Yang and putting the blame on Tongshou of the Sha'e County Palace. Although Tongshou wanted to obtain the Canglong Cave Mansion, he had no conflict with Xu Yang.

What Zhang Renwen wants to do is to assassinate Xu Yang and trigger a fight between the two county palaces. This is in the interests of the Chechi Zhang family and will not only ensure that the Yin Lei method will not leak out, but also trigger a fight between the other two hostile forces.

"Xiuxuan, tell the others to keep a close eye on them and don't get discovered." Zhang Renwen instructed the disciples behind him without even turning his head.

"Yes, elder."

Whoosh!
A black shadow disappeared.

Zhang Renwen is like a wild wolf in the forest, waiting for his prey to take the bait.

In the main hall, everyone gathered.

Bronze maids brought fruits and wine, and in the hall there were beautiful women singing and dancing.

Tongshou was in high spirits and enjoyed everyone's congratulations, encouraging them from time to time.

Taoist Huang Du sat down and felt very emotional. He was at the same level as Tongshou back then, but now he calls this guy "senior".

He began to reflect on whether he was not working hard enough or whether Tongshou was too lucky.

At this time, the bronze head stopped smiling, and his cold and hard bronze face looked like a statue in a tomb.

"Zhao Ziyan, why doesn't Xu Yang come here in person?"

Zhao Ziyan looked calm and said, "The abbot is in seclusion these days, so I will take over."

The bronze head took the opportunity to attack, his invisible aura dissipated, and his blazing eyes were like torches.

"Humph, you didn't retreat earlier or later, but you didn't come at this time. Do you look down on me?"

“Yes, in the eyes of the temple master, you are nothing but a villager, not worth mentioning. Not to mention going into seclusion, even if you don’t go into seclusion, I won’t give you this face.” Zhao Ziyan stood up and looked into the bronze head’s eyes without fear.

A few days ago, Xu Yang, who had transformed into a zombie, came out of seclusion for a few days. He specifically talked about how to deal with provocations. For this kind of Great Dan cultivator, he would not be given the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Wow!
When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Jiuyou Temple is indeed tough enough to dare to challenge Bronze Head in person.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Tongshou's eyes, and he sneered, "Okay, okay, Xu Yang ordered you to do this, right? Wait for me to catch him and ask him the truth!!"

The Taoist monk Tongshou was furious. This woman was deliberately provoking him, but he had to endure it.

A woman is not enough to establish her authority. Maybe this is Xu Yang's trap. It is better to find the real culprit directly and use this as an excuse to punish him.

call! !

The bronze-headed Taoist turned into a gust of black wind and disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

Outside the Jiuyou Temple, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

A giant bronze statue thirty meters tall fell from the sky and stood on the ruins. Countless people were killed or injured around it.

A group of saints watched from a distance.

"Xu Yang, come out here!"

In Yinshan Mountain, Zhang Renwen was delighted. It finally came.

"What do you want me to do?"

As soon as the words fell, the broad daylight turned into darkness. Everyone looked up and was dazed for a moment.

They saw a larger figure right above their heads.
