Shortly after the establishment of the Nine Regions Intelligence Taxation Administration, the first five leaders left the Marquis County overnight.
The reason was very simple. As the base of the sect, Marquis County had too many congenital defects.
First, the attitude of the county's officials and people toward the Immortal Cultivation Sect was relatively cold. For example, the Seven Stars Sect could be regarded as a relatively influential sect in the nearby area, but they couldn't wantonly develop believers in the county. They could only barely occupy the county magistrate's courtyard. Even the dirty old man, He Yun, who was a six stars Elder, had to pay the bill if he wanted to play with a woman. Cultivators simply couldn't be lawless here, and they didn't even have many privileges. Marquis County, as the ancient battlefield against the wild beasts, had a very deep heritage.
Second, Marquis County, as the starting base, was relatively too conspicuous. If they wantonly levied IQ tax here, not only would it attract pressure from the Great Ming Country, it was also bound to encounter resistance from the Seven Stars Sect.
Third, they lacked the necessary network. Whether it was the dirty old man or Wu Feihua, they were just passers-by who were stationed here for a short period of time. They didn't have their own forces in the county, let alone Wang Lu and the others...
With these several factors superimposed, leaving became an inevitable choice.
Then, where would the Nine Regions Intelligence Taxation Administration be based?
The answer was actually obvious...
"Ha, my dear Dog Ear Mountain, I'm back!"
Facing the early morning sun, the Chief of the Nine Regions Intelligence Taxation Administration, or the Wisdom Sect's Sect Leader, Wang Lu, stood at the foot of the Dog Ear Mountain, smugly and loudly laughed.
"... Are you sure you want to start developing your force in this wilderness?" The Wisdom Sect's Holy Maiden, Feng Ling, very puzzledly asked, "It's completely inconsistent with your ambition to dominate the Nine Regions."
The fatty also began to complain, "Senior Brother, why are we always in the wilderness? The living conditions are too hard."
Sect Leader Wang Lu humphed and said, "If we don't look for this wilderness and go directly to the capital of the Eastern Way Prefecture, it would be strange if people don't shit on us! Although we have the Lingjian School behind us, we don't have people, we don't have money, we're an out-and-out grassroots sect! Moreover, I should have told you that a single spark can start a prairie fire. The path we are taking is called the rural encirclement of the city. The development of grassroots sects generally follows this path. If they succeed in the future, their future is limitless. What's more, the Wang Family Village had a unique advantage — rich spiritual energy, which could easily trigger miracles. It could provide great assistance to the initial development of the sect. In the future, when the scale grew, it could even be used as a revolution … oh, no, a holy land for immortals. In fact, it has more advantages than those bustling cities. "
One of the Six Star perverts beside him heaved a long sigh. "Director-General is far-sighted and far-sighted. His words hit the nail on the head. In the past, when I was at the Seven Stars Sect's main altar, the Sect Leader gathered all of our Six Stars Elders to discuss the layout of the Wang Family Village. The plan that we painstakingly came up with is more or less like this. Moreover, there are many places that are not as thorough as the Deputy Director. "
Wang Lu nodded with a smile. "You are very sensible. My promotion of you was not in vain. Work hard, and there will be many benefits for you in the future."
The dirty old man immediately expressed his gratitude. "I will never forget Director's great kindness. Even if my body is smashed to pieces, it would be difficult to repay it …"
What a loyal and devoted old servant face! It was hard to imagine that just a day ago, the two of them were diametrically opposed to each other. It was even more difficult to imagine that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would willingly submit to a low-level Qi Cultivating Stage youth.
This was the skill of a leader. As a leader, he didn't need to be more powerful than the others. As long as he could lead the team and let them exert their labor force to the limit, that would be the victory.
"On the way here, I have already clearly explained what you should do. You and Feihua can do it with peace of mind. The Wang Family Village has the foundation of the Seven Stars Sect, so it won't be difficult to take it down. "
The dirty old man nodded, and his complexion turned serious. "Rest assured, Deputy Director, this is the first battle after Feihua and I abandoned the dark for the light. There will be no mistakes!"
"Mm, I wish you success."
With that, Wang Lu patted the dirty old man's shoulder, turned around, and went down the mountain.
The dirty old man and Wu Feihua looked at each other and smiled. They each launched their respective spells and floated down from the top of the mountain toward the Wang Family Village.
—
The Wang Family Village on the Dog Ear Mountain was originally a comfortable and peaceful village in the Marquis County. It was rich in products, simple and unsophisticated, just like a paradise.
However, in recent years, a lot of changes had taken place in the village. The people's hearts gradually became violent, and the smile that often hung on the villagers' faces became increasingly rare … Instead, it was replaced by a kind of insatiable hunger and resentment. The village was filled with restless hostility.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen villagers gathered in a dilapidated wooden house. There were young hunters, strong blacksmiths … and a few indignant peasant women.
These people entered the house one after another and greeted each other. However, their voices were filled with a deep exhaustion.
"Brother Zhang, your face looks so ugly."
"Ah, Zhuzi, aren't you the same …"
"Sister-in-law Wang, you haven't slept for a while, right?"
"Yes, every night, when I close my eyes, I have nightmares. I always dream of a grotesque devil. When I wake up, I'm covered in cold sweat and can't sleep at all."
"Ai, it seems like everyone is like this." “
"That's right. Who in the village could sleep soundly these days? It's all because of that little devil! "
Not long ago, Wang Lu killed two Seven Stars Sect's cultivators and a Publicity Envoy. Since then, many villagers have fallen into panic. They were worried that Wang Lu, this devil, would harm the whole village, and they were also worried that the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals would punish the village.
"That little devil is really hateful. Not only did he cut off our Immortal Fate, but he also caused such a big disaster … Ai, the whole village is going to be implicated by him!"
"Yes, I heard from the people in the county that in a village, there's a kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He disrespected the Daoist Immortals, and as a result, the whole village died of a sudden illness overnight. No one survived!"
"That, that can't be. These two days, I've been feeling a headache, could it be …"
When the crowd heard this, they immediately panicked.
"I don't think we can wait any longer!" A village woman very high-profile said, "That little devil offended the Daoist Immortals of the Seven Stars Sect, so in the future, he will die a horrible death. But for no reason, we're implicated by him, what's going on!?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What else can we do? Didn't we already discuss this a few days ago? We should capture that little devil's family and apologize to the Daoist Immortals of the Seven Stars Sect!"
"Wang Fugui? He … he hasn't done anything evil in these past few years, so it's not good for us to make a move on him. "
"Isn't it enough to give birth to a son who is worse than a pig and a dog!?" The village woman screamed, "Don't tell me you want everyone to be implicated by him!"
"Sister-in-law Liu, what are you talking about! Aren't I also implicated by him? I just think that with that little devil here, it's not that easy to capture his parents. Moreover, didn't Xiaohu oppose it before? "
At this time, a scholarly looking villager sneered and said, "Xiaohu is kind-hearted? What a joke! How can you be sure that Xiaohu isn't confused by the devil! The Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals and Ambassador were killed by the devil that day, so why did he leave Wang Xiaohu alive!? In these two days, that devil isn't here, so this is a rare opportunity. Why would Wang Xiaohu stop us from protecting Wang Fugui's family!? "
As soon as these words came out, the room immediately quieted down, and an even more violent mood quickly brewed.
At this time, a burst of exclamation came from outside the room.
"Daoist Immortals! Daoist Immortals are here! "
Everyone in the room was surprised. "Daoist Immortals are here!?"
They hastily pushed the door open and saw a mass of pink gauze covering two cultivators in the sky. Like an auspicious cloud that descended from the sky, they slowly descended under the eyes of more and more onlookers.
These two people were naturally the dirty old man and Wu Feihua.
The place where they landed was the open space in the middle of the village. After the two of them landed, they were quickly surrounded by dozens of people. With all kinds of complex eyes, they focused on them and talked about them.
"Are they … the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals?"
"They don't look like it. I heard that the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals would embroider stars on their lapel, but they don't."
"Then who are they?"
"…"
The dirty old man and Wu Feihua, at this time, kept in mind Wang Lu's exhortation and the self-cultivation of an actor. They turned a blind eye to the surrounding voices. They just frowned and looked around as if they were looking for something.
Before long, a grey-haired old man tremblingly walked over. He was the Wang Family Village Head, Wang Qinian.
A few days ago, the chaos caused by Wang Lu in the village made him, the Village Head, unable to eat or sleep in peace. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged twenty years, and his originally steady and steady pace had become unsteady.
"Two Daoist Immortals have come to our village. Our Wang Family Village, sorry for not going out to greet you …"
Wang Qinian stuttered for a while before he was interrupted by Wu Feihua.
"What a heavy devil aura!"
Wang Qinian was startled. Daoist Immortals were indeed Daoist Immortals. With a glance, they could see that there was a devil doing evil here!
Thinking of this, the old man quickly knelt to the ground. "Daoist Immortals, save us! Our village has recently been attacked by a devil, the whole village is in danger! "
However, before the old man's knees could touch the ground, he was propped up by an invisible force.
The dirty old man, He Yun, waved his hand. "Elder, please get up. We're here to subdue the devil."
Wang Qinian was moved to tears. "Thank you, Daoist Immortals, for your great kindness! It's just that, the devil is very powerful, so Daoist Immortals must be careful. A few days ago, the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals were injured by the devil … "
However, Wu Feihua frowned. "Seven Stars Sect? Isn't that a devil sect? "
Wang Qinian was stunned. "Devil sect?"
The dirty old man, He Yun, opened his mouth and said, "Yes, that's right. The devil aura lingering here is from the Seven Stars Sect. Heh, this group of dogs really can't stop eating shit!"
With that, the dirty old man raised his hand and shouted, "Purify!" Suddenly, a mass of boundless green gas was spouted out from his mouth, which turned into a mass of green cloud in mid-air and then fell down from the sky, enveloping nearly a hundred villagers. After being contaminated by the green gas, all of them felt that their bodies were relaxed. All the dirt was gone, and their whole body was full of energy!
"Immortal Method, this is an Immortal Method!?"
The villagers cried out in disbelief. Before this, although they had seen the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals display their Immortal Method, those Daoist Immortals' spells were far from this magical!
Hearing the shouts from the surrounding people, the dirty old man inwardly laughed. Sure enough, they're all fools, making a fuss over a mere cleansing incantation!
Wu Feihua was naturally amused, but her face was as calm as still water. "Senior Brother, your exorcism spell is really effective … This place is indeed polluted by the Seven Stars Sect's devil aura."
"Yes, that exorcism spell is specifically for the Seven Stars Sect's devil. Since the effect is so obvious, it's probably not bad."
The two of them spoke in a professional tone, as if it was light and breezy, but it made the surrounding people's hair stand on end.
Wang Qinian plucked up his courage and interjected, "Two Daoist Immortals, just now you mentioned the Seven Stars Sect … what exactly is it?"
The dirty old man righteously explained, "The Seven Stars Sect is a very famous devil sect in the Blue River Region. They specialize in deceiving the common people, and are the public enemy of our righteous sects!"
Boom!
Wang Qinian felt as if he was struck by lightning. Suddenly, he saw stars, and his chest was in severe pain, as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Devil Sect! Despicable! Deceiving! Public enemy of the righteous sect!
Each word was like a heavy hammer that struck the tip of his heart, making his chest feel suffocated. However, the next moment, a cool breath hit his face. He saw that charming female cultivator stretched out her jade-like fingers and released a pink mist, which relieved him of his myocardial infarction.
"Senior, don't be too anxious, if you have something to say, then say it slowly."
Wang Qinian coughed a few times, but his mind was still in a mess.
However, the surrounding villagers heard it clearly. After the infinite shock, they gradually regained their senses. Some villagers couldn't bear it anymore and boldly opened their mouth to ask.
"Daoist Immortal, what you just said … is it true?"
Wu Feihua was somewhat unhappy. "Do we need to lie to you?"
The dirty old man played the role of a kind elder. "This is absolutely true … This Seven Stars Sect has been stirring up trouble in the Blue River Region, and the victims are countless. We, the righteous sect, have long wanted to crack down on them. Unfortunately, they come and go like ghosts, so we haven't been able to catch them. This time, my Junior Sister and I passed by this place and found that the devil qi here is astonishing, so we hurriedly came here … Unfortunately, we couldn't catch the Seven Stars Sect. "
After hearing those words, all the villagers were stunned. They felt as if the whole world was collapsing in front of them, unable to be rebuilt.
The Seven Stars Sect was a liar? Devil Sect? Public enemy of the righteous sect!?
How could it be possible? That was obviously a sect that could help everyone become an Immortal, how could it be a liar!?
One of the villagers unwillingly asked, "May I ask Daoist Immortal, the Seven Stars Sect said that everyone can become an Immortal, is that also false?"
For a time, the square was particularly quiet. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Old Immortal's answer. Of course, at this time, they didn't know what to do if the Old Immortal said no. However, they still had to ask!
"Oh, everyone can become an Immortal, this is, of course, true." The dirty old man said without batting an eyelid, "The Seven Stars Sect didn't lie on this issue."
Phew!
For a time, many people breathed a sigh of relief!
"However, that devil sect, let alone helping people become an Immortal, hehe, the number of people who have been consigned to eternal damnation by them is simply too many to count!"
The villagers, who had just calmed down, suddenly tensed up again. "Consigned to eternal damnation?"
"Humph, the Spirit Root Development Pills and other medicines they use are all exceptionally cheap defective products. Moreover, they completely don't know how to use them. They only let people take them indiscriminately, and then buy new medicines at sky-high prices. If they take them like this, hehe, even a cultivator who has a chance to become an Immortal would be destroyed by these poisons! "
Wu Feihua quietly added, "Actually, this is still considered good. Even if they eat something bad, it would only destroy their spirit root … However, sometimes, the Seven Stars Sect, in order to cultivate their devil method, would even sacrifice the lives of ordinary people to refine their devil treasures. That is truly tragic."
The dirty old man nodded. "Yes, last month, they just launched the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice on the Eastern Sky Mountain. Hehe, within the radius of a hundred miles, thousands of people were sacrificed, it's simply too horrible to look at."
"Yes, but their Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice is not complete. After it was launched, those villagers were half dead. Their bodies festered and melted, but they still couldn't die. They struggled for seven days and seven nights. Alas, that soaring resentment is actually a pleasant surprise."
The two people's back and forth scared the nearby villagers to the point that their faces turned pale.
The Village Head, Wang Qinian, stammered, "Daoist Immortal … that Seven Stars Sect has been staying here for two years, I don't know, I don't know if there's that Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice …"
The dirty old man's complexion turned solemn. "Two years!? They have been planning this for so long!? "
"Yes, yes!" The old Village Head was about to cry. "Daoist Immortal, please save us!"
A moment later, the surrounding hundreds of villagers all knelt down. "Daoist Immortal, please save us!"
The dirty old man raised his hand and simultaneously helped the surrounding villagers up. "Rest assured, since we're just passing by, we won't just stand by and watch the Seven Stars Sect's evil deeds … Village Head, please take us to walk around the village, we want to carefully examine this place!"
"Very well, this old man will lead the way for the two Daoist Immortals!"
—
The two Daoist Immortals, followed by hundreds of villagers, slowly walked around the village … Before long, they arrived at the periphery of the graveyard behind the village. The two people looked at each other, and then Wu Feihua made a horrified expression.
"What a strong death aura! What's going on here!? "
The dirty old man was also aghast. "Is, is this an ancient battlefield? Such a strong death aura, at least a million people have died here!? "
Boom!
The villagers behind him were frightened!
The dirty old man continued to frighten them. "No, this is not a normal accumulation of death aura, it's caused by a special array … My goodness, this is the gathering of the nearby spiritual energy along the Feng Shui line, which is then transformed by the Yin and Yang array! Originally, this kind of artificial death aura lacks activity, but the Seven Stars Sect designed this array, which is stimulated by the Wang Family Village's Yang energy. Once the death aura erupts, heh, within a radius of thousands of miles, not even a blade of grass will grow! However, this buried heavenly evil weapon will take shape! "
"Using such a strong death aura to nurture a heavenly evil weapon … what kind of power would it have!" Wu Feihua lightly covered her mouth; she was extremely shocked. "When did they bury such a deep thing!?"
"Probably because they were surrounded by the righteous sect and were forced into a dead end … However, if this heavenly evil weapon really succeeds, it will stir up trouble in the future, which will give us a big headache."
Wu Feihua clenched her teeth. "Senior Brother, if we work together, we should be able to break this Yin and Yang Life and Death Array, right?"
"... At most, there's only a forty percent chance. However, if we wait any longer, the death aura may erupt at any time. Ha, fortunately, our divination today was different, so we specifically came here to inspect. Finally, we came in time. Good, Junior Sister, let's do it! "
While speaking, the dirty old man's eyes turned sharp, and he loudly shouted, "Reveal yourself!"
Buzz!
A black sky curtain suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight, like a dark cloud that blotted out the sky! Under the sky curtain, there were layers upon layers of ghostly shadows. Countless vengeful spirits and malicious spirits were forced to reveal themselves by the Daoist Immortal's incantation and ran around.
How could the nearby villagers have ever seen such a vision? For a time, they thought that the end of the world was coming, so they cried for their parents.
The dirty old man and Wu Feihua looked at each other and smiled — this Yin and Yang Life and Death Array and this dark sky curtain were naturally their masterpieces. With low-level Foundation Establishment and high-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation, it was somewhat strenuous to activate this kind of illusion technique. However, if they added the high-rank spirit stones provided by Wang Lu, then it would be a different story.
However, even so, with their cultivation, they couldn't hold on for long. According to the script, it was time for them to take the next step.
"Senior Brother, this life and death array is really powerful! We can't even suppress it! "
"Even if we can't suppress it, we still have to suppress it! Now that hundreds of ghosts have appeared, if we don't suppress it, the Death Energy will erupt, and you and I will die without a burial place! "
"But, but … I really can't hold on!"
"Even if you can't hold on, you still have to!"
"En, I know!"
"… Junior Sister, if the intensity of the Death Energy doesn't decrease, you have to run away by yourself!"
"How can I leave you behind? If we die, we die together!"
Amidst their hoarse roars, the two of them became more and more engrossed in their acting.
The hearts of the villagers behind them became colder and colder.
Under the stunned eyes of the people, a pretty girl came out from the broken black curtain. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly twisted, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Hey, you two, what are you doing!?"
The dirty old man and Wu Feihua survived a disaster. With cold sweat on their foreheads, they were stunned on the spot. A moment later, they hurriedly knelt down.
"Greetings, Saintess!"
