As the purple energy descended, Yu Lie's body and mind immediately relaxed, but he still looked at the little toad with an extremely embarrassed expression.
The only elixir method he could actively use was swallowed by the opponent in one bite just now.
The loss of the bird cage already made Yu Lie extremely heartbroken. What worried him even more was that he couldn't decide the camp of the toad. If the toad belonged to the Gray Bones side, and the birdcage on him was to be taken away, that would be a big deal.
Oh no.
"Didn't I tell you that this Great Elder has been in the sky for nearly a hundred years and has never been seen in the palace again? Isn't he afraid that making random moves will delay his own practice and prevent him from becoming an immortal?"
Yu Lie's thoughts were in chaos, but fortunately a cold voice sounded in front of him, bringing him back to his senses:
"Junior Zizhu, I have met the great elder."
This voice was none other than Zi Zhuzi's. Her true energy fell around Yu Lie, condensing into a blurry figure, and she bowed to the little toad in the air.
After receiving Zi Zhuzi's reminder, Yu Lie suppressed his emotions and saluted the toad respectfully:
"Disciple Yu Lie, please pay your respects to the Great Elder!"
No matter what camp the opponent is in, this toad's cultivation is superior to those in Qiangong. As long as he doesn't show any obvious malice, he must give him a good attitude in order to save face.
When Zi Zhuzi and Yu Lie both bowed, the ashes half buried in the soil were also dancing with will-o'-the-wisps. It unwillingly restrained its momentum and nodded towards the toad.
But immediately, in the mouth of Hui Guzhi, he coldly said what Yu Lie had just said:
"Old toad, if you don't close your mind and cultivate your immortality, what are you going to do if you come down to earth today to interfere? Aren't you afraid of missing the chance to become an immortal?"
When the little toad heard the words of Gray Bones carrying a gun and a stick, its eyes immediately stared at Gray Bones and yelled:
"I bother!
Do I have to come down to earth to get involved? If you don’t come down, you guys will tear down the entire Qiangong Mountain Gate. It’s just nonsense, they’re all from the palace, and they’re actually fighting with their own family, and they won’t stop fighting!”
Ashbone was scolded, with a gloomy face. The will-o'-the-wisp in its eyes flickered even more, and it immediately said:
"Who is a family member of this boy? According to my inquiries, he is now a member of the Baichao Inspection Department. As soon as he returned to Qianzhou, he killed a sixth-grade ghost and god in the palace. It was obvious that he had evil intentions and was not a good person.
Hey, boy, just say yes or no?"
Yu Lie saw this guy choosing his words. He didn't answer directly. Instead, he cupped his hands and said without any timidity:
"Back to the Great Elder, the disciple just fell into the White Nest Demon Cave and was captured. Now as soon as the foundation is built, the disciple quickly ran back.
Who would have thought that Gray Bones actually sent his subordinates to torture the rest of my family, and sent ghosts and gods to ambush me. When I returned to the palace, he personally planned to murder me. In my opinion, this guy is in cahoots with the Baichao Inspection Department.
Hidden evildoer!"
"You! You spit out blood!"
The two of them immediately started arguing in front of the toad Taoist master and framed each other.
After wagging its tongue and foaming like this for several times, the little toad had an extremely depressed expression on its face, and it yelled:
"Hey! Shut the hell up, me!"
Boom! A powerful spiritual consciousness permeated the opponent's figure again, making Yu Lie's body tremble. The incarnation of Zi Zhuzi who was standing in front of Yu Lie also shook violently.
The little toad wiped his face vigorously and scolded directly:
"Do you really think that my eyes are so dim that I can't see you clearly, little Jiujiu? Zi Zhuwazi, what are you doing? Say something! If you hadn't formed a pill yet, how could such a thing happen? .”
It said in a sinister tone: "If you had reached a high-grade elixir earlier, why would Hui Gu dare to offend you and plot against you? Why would you, a disciple, come forward and insist on killing off the thieves for you?"
As soon as Master Toad said this, everyone present fell silent.
Because Taoist Toad touched on a key point.
The reason why Hui Gu tried every means to cause trouble for Yu Lie, and showed up despite his identity, was that he wanted to use Yu Lie to threaten him, and even lured Zi Zhu down from the Purple Mountain to interfere with Zi Zhu's elixir creation and reduce his ability to achieve high-level achievements. possible.
It has done these things many times overtly and covertly in the past thirty years, but none of them were as bold as this time.
As for the reason, no matter in the past or now, it has an extremely strong causal relationship with the Purple Candle lineage, so it had to take action.
As soon as Yu Lie returned to the palace, he yelled at the animal to kill him. On the one hand, he believed that he had a birdcage to protect him and had a bird basket in his hand, so he was not afraid of the half-crippled old guy like Gray Bones. On the other hand, he also Trying to get rid of this guy before Zi Zhuzi forms a pill!
Because he estimated that once Zi Zhuzi showed signs of becoming a high-grade elixir during the process of forming elixirs, the Gray Bones would probably risk violating the laws of the mountains and seas and intervene.
After all, once Zi Zhuzi forms a high-grade elixir, the rebellious boy's fate is destined to be a dog or die!
In the silence of everyone, Zi Zhuzi's figure changed, and a chuckle sounded from the mouth of the incarnation:
"Since the great elder has made it so clear, this matter has indeed become Zizhu's fault. In this case, Zizhu will make another deadline here."
Her voice suddenly became cold and stern:
"Thirty days later, I will open the altar and formulate elixirs, and I won't wait until it's too late!
You just need to wait for another thirty days, and everything will be clear by then, and I, Zizhu, will never cause any more trouble to Qiangong."
Such firm words came from Zi Zhuzi's mouth, and they were not concealed at all. They echoed throughout the Qianzhou Mountain Gate, shocking everyone in the Dao Palace.
Yu Lie, Hu Gu, and the toad Taoist all looked at Zi Zhu blankly.
Taoist Toad muttered: "Forming elixirs is not an easy task. I spent countless years and finally only managed to form a fourth-grade true elixir. In thirty years, you can complete the realm of refining the Gang." It’s already fast enough…”
But the ashes jumped out immediately and shouted happily:
"good!
Thirty days, thirty days, I promise that within these thirty days, I will never touch a single hair of your disciples, servants, etc."
The Toad Taoist immediately glared at Gray Bones again and said, "Thirty days is indeed too short. How about adding another three to five years?"
Yu Lie stood among them. Although his elixir was confiscated and he didn't have much confidence to speak, he still shouted immediately:
"Shut up Gray Bones, what the Great Elder said is absolutely true!
Master Purple, we have endured it for thirty years and are not in a hurry. Even if we practice for another eight or nine years, everyone will understand."
Huigu suddenly became a little anxious.
It's just a remnant. Thirty years after leaving the city, I dared to stroke its tiger whiskers when I came back. This Zi Zhuzi lineage is really a bit evil. If Zi Zhuzi is given a few more years, it will really worry about Zi Zhuzi.
The elixir will become top grade!
"No need!"
A soft shout suddenly came from the incarnation of Zi Zhuzi:
"It is said to be thirty days, it is thirty days. No matter whether it is successful or not, Qianzhou's immortal casket and the Tao will be handed over safely and completely."
Yu Lie hesitated to speak, but when he thought that Zi Zhuzi was not an impatient person, she should have had her own plan to make such a promise. And if Zi Zhuzi became a top-grade elixir as soon as possible, then Yu Lie could also
The threat of the old thief from Baichao was washed away a day earlier, and he did not say a word again.
The toad Taoist transformed into a little toad and glanced at Zi Zhu with admiration. It patted its belly and said with satisfaction:
"Good ambition! Regardless of whether you achieve high-level status by then, as long as the pill formation is successful, it will be a great thing for me to hide in the palace. As for the Immortal Barrier, if you can repair it, repair it. If you can't repair it, just keep dragging it on.
, even if the sky falls, I will still be holding on."
After talking for a while, it frowned and looked at the ashes, sighing:
"I went into the palace to survive the catastrophe. The population is already sparse, so I just let the matter of the previous generations go by. You guys should think about it more and take care of yourself..."
As soon as this voice fell, the consciousness that Master Toad had suppressed in the audience faded away like a tide.
The little toad in the air also deflated, shriveled up, and turned into a small piece of talisman paper.
Moreover, the talisman paper was slightly shaken and split into three parts, from which came out bird urns and skulls as big as mung beans.
The toad talisman was carefully held in his hand by Qing Wazi, who kept his head lowered, placed it on his tongue, and swallowed it.
Bird Lin was surprised by Yu Lie's wave and flew into his sleeve.
As for the bean-like skulls, they were all captured by the spiritual consciousness of the Gray Bones.
The dog snorted heavily in its mouth.
Bang!
Those little skulls that had just been spit out transformed into gray-white skeletons, standing eerily in mid-air, spreading over a thousand feet in radius, surrounding the remaining people in the center.
Yu Lie held the bird basket in his sleeve, not afraid at all, but looked at the opponent with squinted eyes, murderous intent on his face again!
But the Gray Bones only threatened them, and it opened its huge mouth, sucked in the shocking skeletons one by one, and then slowly sank into the underground of the Hidden Palace.
"Jie Jie! Thirty days, I only wait for thirty days, remember this."
This guy kept laughing strangely, trying to save face for himself.
When the ashes left, the chaotic Qiangong suddenly became quiet, so quiet that there was no sound of mosquitoes, birds, or beasts.
The descending incarnation of Zi Zhuzi didn't delay any longer. It transformed into a stream of purple energy and rushed upwards towards Zishan. He also left instructions to the remaining lieutenants:
"Evil disciple, please follow your own path!"
When Yu Lie heard this, he felt happy, and he immediately raised his hand to Qingwazi who kindly came to the rescue.
After the two of them greeted each other, the rest of the army followed the purple energy and rushed towards Zi Zhuzi's location.
In an instant, all the parties involved disappeared.
Qingwazi stood alone in the air. He wiped his cold sweat and muttered:
"Fortunately, it's not too late... I haven't seen you for thirty years, Yu Lie is really impressive."
Recalling that at the beginning, Yu Lie was just a little Taoist disciple whom he casually protected, but now he has become a Taoist priest in the same realm as him, with cunning methods and numerous treasures, which really puts him, the original teacher, to shame.
Qingwazi sighed with emotion and was about to return to the mansion, but he looked around and saw the miserable scene inside the mountain gate. After shaking his head, he walked towards Yu Lie's small courtyard and wiped Yu Lie's butt.
It’s just one day, no need to show anything else.
All the ghosts, gods and Taoist disciples surrounding the small courtyard should be killed, those who should be crippled, and those who should be grounded.
Nearly a hundred people were all severely punished, and all of them were devastated and regretful.
As for Luo Sen and Miao Mu, their already detached and mysterious status in the palace suddenly became even more detached.
After meeting the ghosts and gods in the Taoist Palace and the disciples, they did not dare to say a word, but only saluted. Even the attitude of the Taoist priests who gave lectures in the Taoist Palace was more than a little better than before.
However, the thirty days have not yet come, and the result has not yet been determined. The high-ranking Taoist priests who are really in charge of Qianzhou Taoist Palace are still pretending not to know.
They restrained their disciples one after another and never got close to anyone. They continued to stay at home and did not ask about any affairs inside and outside the palace. Even if Yu Lie's identity as a "Taoist" was spread, they turned a deaf ear to it.
Are you kidding me? There are only thirty days left. Let alone Taoist thieves, even if the Taoist court attacks, they will not express their stance in advance!
