"In short, for various reasons, our wise and great Sister Ling has decided to team up with us to conquer the Seven Stars Sect." “
Outside the inn, under Wen Bao's unsurprised gaze, Wang Lu introduced his new companions.
The illegitimate daughter of the Lingjian School's Sect Leader, the Lady Boss of the Spirit Creek Town, and the top martial arts grandmaster, Miss Feng Ling!
The Lady Boss's face showed waning interest. "Okay, okay, stop playing around. Let's finish this so I can go back to sleep … Oh, I mean, run my inn. Now that you've formed a team, do you have a plan for what to do next? "
"Of course, the next step is to directly flatten the Seven Stars Sect's headquarters, capture the Sect Leader, and let him go to the Wang Family Village to apologize and explain everything to the villagers. And then … I don't care what the village bumpkins think. "
"... Where's the Seven Stars Sect's headquarters?"
"How would I know?"
"Sh * t, if you don't know, why are you still playing around! I'm going back to sleep! "
"Don't worry, if you don't know, you can check." Wang Lu sneered. "Following the vine to the melon is very easy."
"Where is the vine?"
"Of course it's the same old place, the Wang Family Village."
The Lady Boss was surprised. "Haven't you already found all the Seven Stars Sect's people in the village …?"
"The lotus root is still connected."
"Where did the lotus root come from … Forget it, the Wang Family Village, right? It's not far from here, right? I'll say this in advance, my ability is only effective in the Blue River Region, so … "
"I understand, the Feng Shui Vein node in the Blue River Region … Rest assured, I brought you here to increase our fighting power, not to hold us back. The Seven Stars Sect is just a low-level sect, so their headquarters is not too far from the Wang Family Village. "
—
Wang Lu's so-called lotus root is still connected soon opened the eyes of the Lady Boss and the others.
Four days later, the group arrived at the Wang Family Village from the Spirit Sword Mountain. That night, under the command of Wang Lu, the upright and sincere Lady Boss did a despicable business.
She went deep into the house and kidnapped the villagers. Moreover, in accordance with Wang Lu's instruction, she used a coarse hemp rope to tie the hostage into a dumpling. The rope was quite tight, making the hostage's face turn red and purple like a roasted lobster.
"… Hey, I think this binding method might kill someone."
Carrying the hostage on his shoulder, the Lady Boss carried him all the way out of the village and placed him on the peak of the Dog Ear Mountain. She really couldn't understand Wang Lu's intentions, so she simply gave him a reminder.
Wang Lu didn't explain much. He walked straight to the hostage and took out the rag in his mouth. Then …
Pa!
With a single slap, Wang Lu knocked out half a row of teeth. Then, he said, "If you don't want to die, then don't court death. Seeing that we're from the same hometown, I actually don't want to kill you, Xiaohu."
Wang Xiaohu, who was tied up like a lobster man, was filled with panic. It took him some time to recognize Wang Lu's voice.
"Brother Wang Lu, don't kill me."
The voice was a little leaky and weak.
Wang Lu said, "I'll ask you a few questions. I'll let you go after I answer them."
"… En."
"Do you know where the Seven Stars Sect's headquarters is?"
"No, I don't know. Only my master … who is a Four Stars Emissary is qualified to know the location of the main altar."
"Your master? Who is it? "
"It's He Tan … the cultivator that you killed that day."
"In addition to your master, who else do you know in the Seven Stars Sect?"
"Zhou Mingrui … is the Publicity Envoy that you killed."
"Other than that?"
"I haven't been in the sect for long, so … I don't know much." Speaking to this, Wang Xiaohu trembled with fear. He feared that because he was useless, Wang Lu would kill him to vent his anger.
However, when he looked sideways, he found out that Wang Lu's eyes were as cold as the moon, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.
"In the past few days, did anyone from the Seven Stars Sect come to look for you?"
"Ah, yes!"
"Who?"
"A two stars disciple that I don't know. He took the initiative to find me and showed me his sect's token."
"And then?"
"He told me not to act rashly. The sect doesn't intend to be your enemy, but I have to keep an eye on the situation. Once there's a change, I have to inform him."
"What did you do?"
"I didn't say anything … Even when some villagers proposed to look for trouble with your father, I tried my best to dissuade them, I …"
"Enough, where is that contact person?"
"He said that in the next few days, he is hiding outside the village, peacefully cultivating. If you want to find him, you need to use a special magical tool … I hid him in my house, and only I can find him. "
With that, Wang Xiaohu looked at Wang Lu with an expectant gaze. If he could take this opportunity to make Wang Lu let him go...
The Lady Boss asked, "Do you need me to search for him?"
Wang Lu shook his head. "No need. Moreover, with your intelligence, it's very difficult to find him."
"…"
Then, Wang Lu took a deep breath. Under the light of the Emperor Bone, the two hundred and six Sword Bones trembled, bursting out an unusually strong suction force.
With his Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation base, he once again used this absorption method. Compared to a few months ago, his strength had increased several times. The surrounding spiritual energy was bound by a huge suction force. It madly gathered together, forming an invisible stormy wave.
As a Human Pillar, little Ling 'Er didn't feel this, but the two cultivators beside Wang Lu were horrified.
"Senior Martial Brother Wang Lu, this is …!?"
The mental cultivation method that Wen Bao cultivated could be considered to be big and open, and it could absorb a lot of spiritual energy. However, when he breathed in and out spiritual energy, the range of influence was at most ten meters around him. Moreover, the repulsive force of spiritual energy was also very strong. Being able to absorb ten percent of the spiritual energy was already not bad.
However, just now, Wang Lu stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of more than a hundred meters. In that split second, he breathed in and out spiritual energy, which reminded Wen Bao of the Daoist Master King Pill's deep meditation in the sect!
He was only a low-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, how could he breathe in and out spiritual energy so intensely?!
In the eyes of the other cultivator, Wang Xiaohu, this scene shocked his mind and almost made his mind collapse.
Relying on the Six Harmonies Powder and Spirit Root Cultivation, he became an outer disciple of the Seven Stars Sect more than two years ago. After two years of painstaking cultivation, with the full support of his father, he barely reached the ninth level Qi Cultivating Stage and learned how to breathe in and out spiritual energy. Under full effort, he could draw a wisp of spiritual energy into his body, like a trickle. According to his Master, this was already a pretty good achievement. If he persisted, he would be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in his lifetime...
However, just now, Wang Lu breathed in and out, even if he painstakingly cultivated for two years, he still wouldn't be able to catch up! Was … was this a real cultivator? If real cultivators were like this, then his two years of hard work … was nothing!
For a time, he didn't know how much grief and indignation bubbled up in his heart.
However, this had nothing to do with Wang Lu. He breathed in and out spiritual energy at this time, not to show off how awesome his Void Spirit Root was — in fact, this was a great irony for him. A massive amount of spiritual energy entered his body, but only one percent remained.
Instead, it was to use the drastic change in spiritual energy to find something.
The Void Spirit Root's innate keen sense of touch allowed Wang Lu to quickly capture a trace of subtle change in the tide of spiritual energy.
"I got it, come with me."
—
At the same time, somewhere in the mountain forest, Wei Wenqing, who was cultivating his sect's Heart Sutra under the rare bright moonlight, suddenly opened his eyes.
"... Strange, is it an illusion? Why do I feel like there's a change in the spiritual energy? "
For cultivators with man-made Spirit Roots, especially those with inferior quality like the Six Harmonies Spirit Roots, it was extremely difficult for them to detect the changes in the spiritual aura of heaven and earth. Sensing and absorbing the spiritual aura was like a blind man touching an elephant. It was just that, the change just now was too intense, so no matter how slow their perception was, they would still be able to detect it.
Wei Wenqing thought for a moment and decided not to take the risk, so he temporarily stopped his meditation. For an outer disciple of his level, one more day of cultivation or one less day of cultivation really made no difference.
So … this task of monitoring was really boring.
As a two-star disciple, he didn't know much about the Wang Family Village, but he vaguely knew that this was a place rich in spiritual energy. After the sect accidentally discovered it, they planned to develop this place as a strategic location for the sect's resurgence in the future. It was just that a few days ago, a major accident happened. He didn't know the specifics, but he heard that someone died … Could it be that the change in spiritual energy just now was caused by a fellow disciple who died with grievances?
Feeling the gentle night under the moonlight, Wei Wenqing laughed at himself. In any case, he was a cultivator, why did he have to scare himself? If he really met a little demon, he might not be his opponent!
But waiting like this was really too boring. Why not take advantage of the night to explore the village? Looking at the village in the daytime, there were a few village girls who were elegant and refined. They really didn't look like they were from a remote mountain village … It would be too much of a pity to let a group of rough mountain men take advantage of them. It would be better to let him have a taste of the soup … At the same time, he could ponder the Dual Cultivation Method! Thinking of this, Wei Wenqing's body suddenly became hot.
However, the next moment, a simple and unadorned long sword was placed on his neck. It made his whole body quiver, and cold sweat suddenly gushed out like a fountain.
Then, a ghost-like voice came from behind him, "Ha, I found a small fish."
Punched and kicked, tied up, and tortured to extort a confession; it was too horrible to look at.
Through the interrogation of Wei Wenqing, more facts were exposed.
The Seven Stars Sect was indeed reluctant to part with the Wang Family Village. For this kind of low-class sect, the rich spiritual energy in the Wang Family Village was a priceless treasure that they yearned for even in their dreams. However, the Seven Stars Sect was also frightened by Wang Lu's three killings a few days ago, so they didn't dare to rashly move forward.
However, when they heard that Wang Lu had left a few days ago, the Seven Stars Sect's greed began to stir. One of the Elders, who had spent the most effort in the Wang Family Village, sent several two stars disciples to wander around the village as a lookout.
Unfortunately, this was a bad move. These lookout minions not only didn't play their due role by sending valuable information back to the Seven Stars Sect's headquarters, but instead, Wang Lu caught the clue and followed the clue to get to the melon.
"Tell me, where's your Seven Stars Sect's headquarters?"
Wei Wenqing was tied up like a fried dough twist. His face was covered with blood, and his eyes were half panic-stricken and half vacant. After listening to Wang Lu's interrogation, he groaned for a long time, and his voice was broken.
However, Wang Lu still understood his meaning.
"Oh, you said you don't know. A two stars disciple doesn't have the qualification to know the location of the sect's headquarters, and you're just instructed by a four stars emissary … Fine, your chicken feather sect is so complicated. Tell me, where's that four stars emissary?"
Wei Wenqing groaned for a while, and then looked at Wang Lu with despair mixed with hope.
"... Marquis County?"
—
"I can't believe you're this straightforward."
Under the dim light of the night, looking at the already cold corpse on the ground, the Lady Boss sighed with emotion.
"I thought you would at least spare his life."
Wang Lu was silent for a moment. "Actually, I did think about sparing his life. I just let him be in a coma for a few days. When he wakes up, the matter has already been resolved, and a small fry like him won't be able to stir up any trouble."
The Lady Boss was curious. "Then why did you …?"
"I hesitated for a moment. I didn't control my strength well. Who would have thought that this guy is so fragile." Wang Lu shook his wrist and sighed with emotion.
The Lady Boss said, "... This guy's death is really unjust. But, this is also good. If he really ran back to report, the Seven Stars Sect would retaliate against the Wang Family Village."
Who knew that Wang Lu actually sneered. "If the Seven Stars Sect really has the guts, they would've made their move when I went back to the mountain to look for him. Not to mention … if they could really kill a few villagers to vent their anger, that would be a good thing. This group of idiots in the village won't shed tears until they see the coffin, so I'll let them see the coffin. Unfortunately, it's not convenient for me to do it myself. "
The Lady Boss felt a chill down her spine. "You're really … ruthless to the Wang Family Village."
Wang Lu sneered. "I used to be a gentle and amiable cultivator like you, until my knee was shot by an arrow … All of this was brought upon by those idiots in the village, and I've already done my best."
The Lady Boss faintly sighed. "That's not the case. Wang Lu, I think you're a bit extreme …"
"Extreme? Extreme is good. Isn't this experiential learning in the sect to sever our ties with the mortal world? If I don't go extreme, how could I sever my ties with the mortal world? "
"You're simply misinterpreting it!"
Wang Lu was impatient to argue with the Lady Boss; he snapped his fingers. "Wen Bao, explain it to her."
Wen Bao was flattered to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility in the face of danger. He quickly said to the Lady Boss, "Sister Ling, this time you're wrong. You must know that the ignorance of ordinary people comes from their nature, which is deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated. To these fools, you should be as ruthless as your Senior Brother. Otherwise, they will drag you down to the same level, and then use their rich experience to defeat you. So, don't treat them as human beings. They don't deserve to be human, they're just pigs, dogs, and insects. As the saying goes, the Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all living things as straw dogs, that is … "
Wen Bao was about to continue talking, but when he turned around and saw the Lady Boss's cold eyes, his confidence immediately dropped by ninety percent.
"That is to say, you must eliminate the sympathy and pity for the fools, and use the attitude of a tool to rationally and objectively manage them, so that their lives have a little bit of insignificant value …"
Being stared at by the Lady Boss's cold steel-like eyes, Wen Bao's voice became more and more timid. Finally, his voice was even fainter than the chirping of the insects in the mountain, and then disappeared...
Unfortunately, even if she defeated Wen Bao, the Lady Boss couldn't shake Wang Lu's mind. Only when he was in a good mood would he be easy to talk to, but once he was angry, he would be exceptionally stubborn … However, it was no wonder that he would be angry. After listening to his story, even she was filled with anger. The combination of a liar and a fool, if it happened to others, would be a joke, but if it happened to her, it would be a tragedy.
Therefore, for now, she would just take one step at a time. If he really did something outrageous, she would just knock him out with a punch and directly carry him back to the Spirit Sword Mountain.
