Chapter 156 Either give up! Or admit defeat! [Three more chapters!] The atmosphere fell silent. There was no sound for a while. Then the sound of footsteps was heard. Lu Tang walked outside without saying a word. "Where are you going?" The little white ape tilted his head and asked. "When you get old, there are some things you can't bear to hear." Lu Tang said in a muffled voice, "It's easy to get upset and can't sleep at night." "You're so big and not too old, why are you so weak?" The little white ape showed a look of pity and thought of not bullying the big black-faced man in the future. "Can you tell me again?" At this moment, Lord Lu said in a complicated tone, "Last night, in the south of Fengcheng, was it your master who did it?" "Didn't Mr. Lu guess it?" The little white ape said in surprise, "You weren't wrong."
"..." Lord Lu was silent for a moment, then said, "I had expected this, but after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes." "Okay, then I'll tell you the details." The little white ape folded the paper, put it in his arms, and then carefully recounted everything that happened last night. As he spoke gradually, Mr. Lu's expression became gradually solemn. Last night, a ferocious evil spirit and three Qi Refining Realm masters appeared in the south of Fengcheng. Although Mr. Lu already knew that Lin Yan had entered the Qi Refining Realm a few days ago. But what he has to face is also a ferocious and evil monster and two opponents in the Qi Refining Realm! Faced with such a lineup, even the highest commander of the Inner City's Heavenly Monitoring Division would have to temporarily hide away. Therefore, Mr. Lu felt that Lin Yan must have helpers! Or maybe Lin Yan did not encounter what happened last night, and perhaps what the little white ape said was not the same thing as what happened in the south of Fengcheng last night. But as the little white ape said, Lord Lu's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "I didn't realize that he has become so powerful?" In less than half a minute, the vicious evil spirit was slain! Scare away two Qi Refining Realm masters! Even Mr. Lu felt deeply shocked. "By the way, you said Lin Yan brought back a black pig mask?" "Yes, the Pig, one of the Twelve Phases of Jiejin. I heard the master mention it to the former garrison commander." The little white ape blinked. "Hai Zhu, at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm." Lord Lu glanced at the corner and said leisurely, "Stronger than Lu Tang." “……” The dark-faced man slowly stretched out his hands, pressed them on both sides of his head, and covered his ears. "Besides, it was night time, and the creatures they were worshipping were ferocious and evil." The little white ape quickly added. "..." The dark-faced man slowly stood up and glanced at the water tank. He thought to himself, "For the first time, I feel that the face in the water tank has no advantages other than being handsome. It has nothing to do with the words 'a genius of the ages'." Mr. Lu glanced at Lu Tang's back and thought, "I've dealt enough blows. If I continue to fight, I'll lose my spirit... Now is the right time. I've put away my arrogance and practiced hard. Within three years, I can try to refine my essence into qi."
Then Mr. Lu withdrew his gaze and looked towards the direction of Dayin River. "What happened last night caused Jie Jin to suffer heavy damage. This is a great achievement. It must be reported secretly and not spread to the public for the time being." Lord Lu pondered and said, "Don't go back to the Heavenly Guards. Wait for your master to come back and then let him come to see me." The little white ape nodded, happily, and picked up three more medicinal herbs. Seeing this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but smile. He stroked his beard slightly and thought to himself, "It seems that Emperor Li Shenzong's letter of challenge cannot suppress Han Zheng. Instead, it will make Han Zheng gain the upper hand." He stood up and walked into the house. But at this moment, the little white ape seemed to think of something. "Mr. Lu, you seemed very surprised just now. My master killed the pig and frightened away two Qi Refining Realms." "I'm not surprised. I expected this." "No..." The little white ape blinked and said, "What I mean is, you don't seem to be surprised at all about Jie Jin's 'key'?" "Why do you think I am so sick?" Mr. Lu suddenly laughed and went back to his room. He looked down and thought, "If I were not in front of the Wutong Goddess, relying on my own ability to deduce the secrets of heaven, the backlash would be extremely severe." Among the results he deduced, the Chenlong, the leader of the Twelve Phases of Jiejin, was involved! The pig that was killed by Lin Yan last night could be ranked among the top three in terms of ability among the Twelve Equals of Jie Jin, but its status was not very high. Because the Pig's identity had been exposed in its early years, and now it worships "evil", entering any city will cause a shock to the local temple. Therefore, the Pig can no longer change its appearance, sneak into the city, and change its identity. Such an enemy, although powerful, is an open enemy. On the contrary, the other "Jie Jin" may not be as powerful as Hai Zhu. They can hide in the city and their location is unknown. They are the most difficult and more terrifying. The "Chen Dragon", as the head of the twelve phases, has an unknown identity and is mysterious and unknown, which makes it even more terrifying. "The evil spirit worshipped by the dragon is also extremely terrifying, far superior to the ancestor worshipped by the pig." Mr. Lu stroked his beard and thought to himself, "But it's still far inferior to that red dress..." Thinking of another result of the deduction, Mr. Lu's expression became more complicated, his eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: "What is this?" - at the same time. The upper reaches of the Dayin River. At the bottom of the river ahead is the stone gate to the underworld.
The remaining bodies of Pei Xiong and others were enshrined by the fluorescent ghost fire and became the so-called "ghost soldiers" after entering the stone gate. At this moment, Lin Yan rode on a Jiao-scale horse, carrying the heads of the two sons of the Shi family, and approached the river. "He who comes is stopped!" From a distance, a group of soldiers stepped forward to stop them. But as they got closer, they discovered that the person who came had raised a flag. After taking a closer look, they all bowed. "Greetings, Master Wu!" "Get up." Lin Yan raised his hand and asked, "Has anything happened in Dayinjiang in the past two nights?" "Nothing has happened." The young general responded immediately. "That's good." Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It seems that the incident at the Stone Gate of the Underworld was suppressed by the joint efforts of Qifeng City and Gaoliu City." As he thought about this, he looked toward the bottom of the river and thought to himself, "I wonder if this will be a permanent solution, a complete cure, or just a temporary suppression that won't be eradicated?" Then Lin Yan looked at the river. The water was still rushing like the roar of thousands of beasts. But among them, there was a faint low sound, like the humming of cows or horses. The Dragon Prison Pillar in the Great River was finally completed! The dragon has been suppressed at the bottom of the Dayin River! At present, someone still needs to guard him and wait until Liu Zun wakes up next year, then he will be canonized and a huge amount of incense will be offered every year as a way of appeasement. Thinking of incense, Lin Yan asked, "Did you bring incense and candles?" The young general in the lead quickly took out the incense and candles and said, "This was distributed yesterday." "Okay, all of you go and do your own things. I am here to inspect the riverside, so you don't need to follow me." Lin Yan waved his hand, walked to the riverside, and watched attentively. There seemed to be no movement at the bottom of the river. He sighed, lit the incense and stuck it into the ground. He then took out the heads of the two young masters of the Shi family and placed them aside. He bowed and said softly, "Brother Pei, we met too late. We share similar interests, but unfortunately we were separated not long after. This time... I come to you with these two culprits as a sacrifice." He took the remaining half pot of wine and poured it on the ground. Then he took a deep breath and crushed the two heads into pieces with his feet. Then he mounted his horse and headed towards Gaoliu City along the Dayin River.
During this period, he met Pan Yun, Chen Feng and other people from the Tianshi Division. But without much communication, Lin Yan went down the river. Now, there are about 600 elite troops stationed on both sides of the Dayin River in response to orders. Some came from Qifeng Prefecture, some were from the city guards, some were temple guards and incense burners, and there was also a group of people from the Tianshi Division. But the looks from people around me seemed vaguely strange. Just as Lin Yan frowned slightly and felt strange. In front of me, I saw a familiar figure approaching quickly. "Meet the deputy commander." "You're finally back." Zhou Yuan rubbed his brows and said, "The outside world has begun to spread the news that you were afraid of facing Xu Dingye of the Small Divine Sect, so you fled Gaoliu City and your whereabouts are unknown." "No wonder the people on both sides of the river look at me so strangely." Lin Yan chuckled. "The commander returned to Gaoliu City early this morning. I heard that something big happened in Fengcheng last night." Deputy Commander Zhou said seriously. "I'm also going back to Gaoliu City." Lin Yan said. "Aren't you curious about what big thing happened in Fengcheng yesterday?" Deputy Commander Zhou couldn't help but ask. "I'm not really curious." Lin Yan said slowly, "I'm just curious. The day of the battle is about to come. Has Xu Dingye of the Little Divine Sect arrived in Gaoliu City?" "Logically speaking, he should have arrived at Gaoliu City today." Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Zhou looked a little strange and said, "However, he disappeared yesterday." "Lost?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "He wouldn't die on the road and leave me to bear the responsibility of this murder, right?" "That's not the case. Anyway, he's not dead. I just don't know where he went." Deputy Commander Zhou let out a sigh and said, "The date for the battle was set by Emperor Li Shenzong. Xu Dingye dare not delay it." "Then I'll go back to Gaoliu City and wait for him." Lin Yan said. "The commander's intention is to send you to guard the Dayin River." Zhou Yuan said this in a serious tone. "Let me avoid the fight?" Lin Yan understood immediately and spoke with a smile. "Commander, I will block this for you." Zhou Yuan said solemnly, "You were forced to come to guard Dayin River. This time you obey orders and do your duty for the safety of Gaoliu City. If this gets out, it will not be a laughing stock, but a good reputation." "Are you afraid that I will be defeated by the Small Divine Sect?" Lin Yan frowned. "No." Deputy Commander Zhou whispered, "I'm afraid you'll kill the little god sect." "..." Lin Yan seemed to understand something and said, "So, Xu Dingye of the Small Divine Sect disappeared halfway, also to avoid a fight?" "He is really gone." Deputy Commander Zhou shook his head and said, "In short, the commander's meaning is that it is best not to fight this battle." "It's okay not to fight." Lin Yan said calmly: "Either he admits defeat, or Emperor Li Shenzong admits defeat." (End of this chapter)
