Chapter 501: The former green plum, gathering strength for revenge (4k6, please subscribe)
“Disciple, disciple... I dare not say it.”
Tao Zhongjing shook his head, his face full of bitterness, and mumbled for a long time before saying this.
Originally, Wei Tu only had doubts about the fact that someone was harming Tao Zhongjing, but now that he saw Tao Zhongjing's appearance, he was undoubtedly convinced of what Shicai was thinking.
However, it was difficult for Tao Zhongjing to reveal the person behind the scenes through normal questioning.
Wei Tu thought for a moment and then changed his face. His face was slightly solemn. He glanced at Tao Zhongjing coldly and reprimanded in a deep voice:
"You and I are masters and disciples, sharing weal and woe. Now, if you don't tell me who is the one who harmed you, do you want me to follow in your footsteps?"
The voice fell.
Tao Zhongjing’s complexion immediately changed, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and quickly kowtowed to Wei Tu to beg for mercy.
The grave crime of killing one's master is no less serious than the grave crime of patricide in the world of immortality.
This time, Wei Tu showed up in time to save his life. He had already thanked him profusely. How could he dare to ask Wei Tu, the master, to risk his life to help him avenge his stupidity this time?
After being reminded by him, he immediately realized that he had been deceived by Yuan Zixiong.
But...if we talk about conflicts, he obviously had a bigger conflict with Youxian Wang Yuanjie. They just kept restraint from each other and did not make it public.
“Although Yuan Zixiong didn’t say it clearly, the meaning behind his words was that…Master now chooses to imprison himself in the cave in exchange for forgiveness from Divine Master Dulong and others…”
But it was precisely because of his honesty that he was so easily deceived by Yuan Zixiong. He rashly believed Yuan Zixiong's words and made a breakthrough on his own without seeking verification.
In his opinion, although this incident was inseparable from Tao Fangde's own stupidity, he also understood that Tao Zhongjing could not be entirely blamed.
"If you don't want to bother me, go and buy a Mortal Transformation Pill. It's considered a sign of filial piety. I won't blame you for what happened today." Wei Tu shook his head, flicked his sleeves and robe, and used his magic power to help him kneel down. Tao Fangde in front of him.
"This time, you failed to break through and became a fake elixir. When talking to outsiders...don't mention being a teacher, just say that you were lucky enough to survive the disaster."
learn from mistakes.
“In view of this, the disciple chose to break through on his own and did not come to disturb the master.”
When he first came to Kang State secretly, the Fenshan tribe where he lived was under the command of King Zuoxian.
If it weren't for Tao Zhongjing's "honesty" and after Tao Fangde's death, he gave the "gold elixir quota" he had promised to the Tao family to his grandson-in-law Tao Ping'er, he would not have thought of compensation and accepted it. Tao Zhongjing is a named disciple.
"Yes, Master." Tao Zhongjing stood in attendance, bowed his head in response, and showed no dissatisfaction in his heart.
Tao Zhongjing half cried.
Weitu suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked at Tao Zhongjing, and patiently warned him.
Honest, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Fortunately, he is not that stupid.
There is no need to be calculated!
Tao Zhongjing can understand that it is not easy to defend the map.
Just waiting for this to happen.
"Prince Zuoxian's Mansion?" Wei Tu was slightly startled when he heard this, and was surprised. After all, he and Prince Zuoxian's Mansion had no grudges, and they didn't even have any intersection.
To put it simply, Yuan Zixiong, a man with ulterior motives, used some inside information he knew as a senior executive of the Ying Ding Department to deceive Tao Zhongjing, an "honest man".
At that time, there is no need to talk about destroying Prince Zuoxian's palace. Even if there are other divine masters behind the palace, he can kill them all.
“Initially, my disciple didn’t know that Prince Zuoxian’s palace was trying to trick me.” Tao Zhongjing’s face showed a look of extreme regret.
Not to mention, Wei Tu was also the benefactor of their Hanshan Tao family.
Once this crime was committed, the moral pressure alone was unbearable for him, even if we did not count Wei Tu's master's level of cultivation and status.
Thinking from someone else’s perspective—
At least at this moment, Wei Tu couldn't figure out why Prince Zuoxian's palace wanted to target him and Tao Zhongjing.
He frowned slightly and looked at Tao Zhongjing, gesturing for him to elaborate.
Hearing this, Wei Tu roughly understood the whole story of how Tao Zhongjing "concealed" his master and made an unauthorized breakthrough.
Tao Zhongjing kowtowed to the ground and said with a trembling voice.
However, Wei Tu did not reveal his inner thoughts at this moment. After all, he and Yuan Jie were both former Cangkun League monks and were brothers.
Now, it’s just a matter of waiting.
"A few years ago, my disciple accidentally learned from "Yuan Zixiong", the crown prince of Zuoxian King... that the master had caused a big disaster, which affected the tribe and made Master Dulong and others dissatisfied..."
Now, the person behind the frame-up of Tao Zhongjing is actually Prince Zuoxian's Mansion. This is really beyond Wei Tu's expectation.
And he himself is just a small and insignificant registered disciple under the divine master.
“It’s Prince Zuoxian’s Mansion.”
If he were Tao Zhongjing, it would probably be difficult for him to do too well. After all, his enemy was the Crown Prince Zuoxian, who had no grudge against him.
Of course, if we talk about intersection, there is also some.
He is not going to tolerate this matter.
However, getting angry is not about getting angry. He has more important things to do - break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After all, they are not monks born and raised in the Ying Ding tribe. As expats, no matter how powerful they are, they have to keep their head down when facing indigenous monks of the same level.
As a master, Wei Tu would naturally not know Tao Zhongjing’s basic idea that “the emperor still uses gold hoes to cultivate the land”.
He thought for a while and comforted Tao Zhongjing: "In the world of immortality, there is still a day when fake babies can re-enlighten their spirits, let alone fake elixirs. If you have time, I can ask my master for you to find a secret technique for transforming elixirs."
Wei Tu only heard about the secret technique of re-energizing false babies from Ji Zhang.
However, Wei Tu has heard a lot about the secret technique of transforming elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation.
Just now, when he communicated with the ancestor of Chilong, he got a secret technique of elixir transformation inherited from Wanyin Sect.
However, due to the fact that the secret technique of converting elixirs was too magical and that Tao Zhongjing's character still needed to be polished, Wei Tu did not immediately grant him the secret technique of converting elixirs.
"Thank you, Master." After hearing that there was still a possibility of continuing on his path, Tao Fangde, who had been depressed just now, suddenly became filled with joy and hurriedly bowed to Wei Tu and thanked him.
However, after he finished his salute, he saw that the master in front of him had disappeared in that moment.
“Master…”
Seeing this, Tao Fangde's joy suddenly faded. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Divine Master's Mansion where Wei Tu was located.
…
the other side.
Prince Zuoxian's Mansion, in the side hall.
The square-faced man in rich clothes immediately showed a hint of joy on his face after seeing the vortex of spiritual energy rising in the direction of Wei's Danfufang dissipating in vain.
"Yingmei, although I don't have the strength to kill Wei Tu for you, killing one of Wei Tu's disciples can be regarded as a tribute to your spirit in heaven."
The square-faced man held a portrait of a beautiful woman in his hand. After looking at it affectionately for a few times, he spoke with a slightly excited tone.
If Wei's picture were here, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that the beauty in this portrait is none other than "Yuan Ying", the eldest princess of the former Youxian Prince's Palace, who had many encounters with him.
And the square-faced man's "trap" against Tao Zhongjing seemed to be just for revenge. A hundred years ago, he secretly killed Yuan Ying outside Ying Ding's tribe.
“Wei Tu, despite all his scheming, would never have thought that I accidentally learned from Dijian Mountain that he used the Qingjiao Flag and Huangyundou magic weapon to kill Yao Chongshan and his wife…”
“No matter how meticulous he is, this will happen to him!”
The square-faced man, Yuan Zixiong, clenched the portrait in his hand with a cold look on his face.
At that time, Yuan Ying had been living as a widow and had not remarried, for which he had a lot of credit.
It was he, together with Yuan Ying, who conspired to kill Yuan Ying's first husband-in-law.
—If it weren’t for Ying Ding’s ban on the marriage between the two princes, he would have been together with Yuan Ying long ago.
"Now, Tao Zhongjing is dead. The next one is Wei Tu's heir." Yuan Zixiong took out a jade slip that recorded the detailed information of Wei Tu's family members, and analyzed the characters in it for him to attack.
However, before he could make a decision, he heard the news from his subordinates that Tao Zhongjing was not dead.
“What? Did he fake it?”
Yuan Zixiong was startled at first, and then turned pale with shock. He knew how serious the consequences of Tao Zhongjing's breakthrough into immortality would be.
Once Wei Tu came out of seclusion, knew about this, and discovered the clues, even if he had ten lives, he would not be enough to die.
Thinking of this, Yuanzi Xiong panicked and quickly used his magic power to destroy the portrait of the beauty in his hand, as well as the jade slips recording the information about Wei Tu's relatives and other items.
only-
Before he could finish destroying it, a streak of blood fell from the sky and easily cut off his neck.
"you…."
Yuan Zixiong's head rolled to the ground, his eyes widened, and he looked at the man in black robe who suddenly appeared in front of him, hoarsely, and wanted to speak.
But before he could finish his words, his life ended.
…
The person who killed Yuan Zixiong.
It is not Wei Tu, nor is it a monk sent by Wei Tu.
Weitu is not stupid enough to do such a sensitive thing during the critical period of his breakthrough.
However, during this period, Wei Tu also saw the face of the murderer who killed Yuan Zixiong.
Wei Tu knew that once Yuan Zixiong learned that Tao Zhongjing was still alive, he would definitely take action.
So, he did not miss this opportunity and personally came to Prince Zuoxian's Mansion to see if this matter was done by Yuan Zixiong alone, or whether he colluded with others and did it together.
Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived at Prince Zuoxian's Mansion, he saw the male cultivator in black robe who was hiding his face and took Yuan Zixiong's life.
“Aunt Yuwenlian?”
Over the Prince Zuoxian's Mansion, Wei Tu hid his figure, raised his eyes, revealing green spider eyes like a ghost-eyed demon spider, and looked at the black-robed male cultivator.
After a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
The identity of this black-robed male cultivator, when he first saw it with his "Golden Sun-gazing Eyes", was undoubtedly the aura and body of Qianyue Sanren, but then, coupled with the "spider eyes" of the ghost-eyed demon spider, his true identity immediately became clear He has become the eldest disciple of the golden-eyed master Yuwen Liangu.
The ghost-eyed demon spider can distinguish between yin and yang, and can see the true soul of a monk at a glance.
Wei Tu would not have any doubts about the judgment of the ghost-eyed demon spider's spider eyes.
“Is it an external force, a trap set up by Master Jinxia?”
Wei Tu frowned slightly and watched Yuwen Liangu pretending to be a "Qianyue Sanren" escaping from Prince Zuoxian's palace.
However, before Wei Tu could think about the purpose of Master Jinxia's trap, he saw Yuwen Liangu turn around again and go to Prince Youxian's Mansion.
“Follow and have a look.” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, flicked his sleeves and robe, and followed behind Yuwen Liangu.
Half an hour later.
Wei Tu then followed Yuwen Liangu and sneaked into the main hall of Prince Youxian's palace.
"Youxian King." Yuwen Liangu bowed and greeted Youxian Wang Yuanjie who was reviewing documents on the main seat.
“Without courtesy.”
Yuan Jie spoke in an easy-going tone and waved his hand, signaling Qianyue Sanren to take a seat as he pleased.
Qianyue Sanren was a capable general he had accepted many years ago, and he once served as the general leader of the Cangkun Alliance for him.
It can be said that Qianyue Sanren is indispensable for his reaching his current status.
However, as soon as Yuan Jie said these words, he felt something was wrong.
He has been with Qianyue Sanren for many years and has known their habits for a long time, so even if Yuwen Liangu looks like her again in disguise, he can still find clues from it.
"Are you Yuwen Liangu?" Yuan Jie paused with his right hand while reviewing documents, his expression turned cold, and he looked at the "Qianyue Sanren" in front of him with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Wei Tu, who was hiding in the dark, didn't need to listen too much to understand that Yuan Jie and Yuwen Liangu must have been colluding for a long time.
Otherwise, with Yuanjie's eyesight, even if he could tell that Yuwen Liangu was not a "Qianyue Sanren", he would not know that she was Yuwen Liangu.
“Yuan Jie has some contact with Divine Master Jinxia?”
Wei Tu was slightly surprised. He couldn't figure out why Yuan Jie wanted to destroy his own future and collude with Divine Master Jin Xia.
After all, Yuan Jie was now the most powerful Youxian King in the Ying Ding tribe under their four great masters.
It would be too irrational for him to do this just to retaliate against him.
In the final analysis, there was no life-or-death feud between him and Yuan Jie, it was just that former friends turned against each other due to conflicting interests.
But soon, following the conversation between Yuwen Liangu and Yuan Jie, Wei Tu soon understood.
This time, Yuan Zixiong framed his disciple Tao Zhongjing. From beginning to end, Yuan Jie had no involvement.
This is just a way for Yuwen Liangu to lure Yuanjie into trouble.
As for Divine Master Jinxia…
Yuan Jie cannot be said to have colluded, but he has only been in contact during the recent period.
As the leader of the clan, it is normal for Yuan Jie to have contact with Divine Master Jinxia.
But just when Wei Tu was about to step forward, fulfill his duty as a spiritual master, and capture Yuwen Liangu, Yuan Jie's attitude changed at the next moment, forcing him to suspend this idea and continue watching.
…
"King Youxian, do you think you still have room to turn back now?" Yuwen Liangu waved her jade sleeves, revealing her true appearance, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.
"Once Yuan Zixiong dies, based on the clues I left, King Zuo Xian will definitely find out that his crown prince was killed by Qianhe Sanren under your command. Once King Zuo Xian finds out, where is Wei Tu?"
“At that time, even if King Youxian wants to explain it, it will be difficult for him to explain it clearly.”
The voice fell.
The atmosphere in the main hall was silent.
Hearing these words of pressing forward, Yuan Jie's face suddenly became a little uncertain. He stared at Aunt Yuwenlian's pretty face and said coldly: "Aunt Yuwenlian, I'm not that good. It’s a matter of course. Everyone knows about my relationship with Divine Master Wei. As a good friend, Divine Master Wei will not doubt me.”
"Doubtful?" Yuwen Liangu shook her head and smiled, and said: "If the relationship between King Youxian and Wei Tu is really that good, why would King Youxian bother to inquire about the spiritual elixir of cultivation in the Golden Elixir Realm from the outside and ask Wei Tu for it? better?"
Hearing this, Yuan Jie took a deep look at Yuwen Liangu and realized that his true identity had been clearly revealed by this woman.
He remained silent and did not continue his defense.
After all, facts speak louder than words.
“Although the Ying Ding tribe has a great family and a great cause, King Youxian did not embezzle too many spiritual things from within the tribe in order to reform the bad government and create a wise government..."
“The wealth of King Youxian’s family should be enough to purchase a spiritual elixir for cultivation in the Golden Elixir realm.”
“But what about breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm?”
Yuwen Liangu is good at teaching.
"Break through the Nascent Soul?" Hearing this, Yuan Jie suddenly sneered. He glanced at Yuwen Liangu with disdain and said: "You, the eldest disciple of Divine Master Jinxia, and the eldest princess of the Yuwen Royal Family have no chance to break through the Nascent Soul. As an outsider, what kind of help can Master Jinxia provide?"
The voice fell.
Yuwen Liangu did not break her defense.
She still had a smile on her pretty face and said: "Master Jinxia is not enough, but... what about Taoist Liuyu? He is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!"
“Hehuan Sect is one of the five sects of Demonic Dao. The accumulation of this Immortal Dao sect is more than ten times greater than that of our Kangju tribe!”
“Six Desire Taoist?”
Hearing this, Yuan Jie's expression changed.
As the Righteous King, he naturally learned about Wei Tu from the mouths of Divine Master Dulong and others. He had greatly offended the Taoist Liu Yu.
Nowadays, Yuwen Liangu mentioned Liuyu Taoist, and her meaning is already obvious—Master Jinxia has already united with Liuyu Taoist.
Facing the Six Desires Taoist, Yuan Jie's state of mind was no longer the same as before, with a condescending attitude.
He knew very well how fearful Master Dulong and others were of the Nascent Soul Demon.
Including Wei Tu, although he successfully escaped from the Liuyu Taoists, at the beginning, he just fled in a hurry when the Liuyu Taoists were unprepared.
His mind was inevitably shaken by it!
