Chapter 137 Are you teaching my master to do things?
Kuixing Island, Lanyun Pavilion.
Yi Xiuxiu sent the head of the Su family out with a smile on her face. She had just negotiated a deal with the other party, using the formation maintenance business of six affiliated islands in exchange for 30% of the other party's two elixir gardens.
On the surface, Yi Xiuxiu suffered some losses, but after several such operations, she who originally just wanted to lose money and avoid disaster suddenly discovered that the Yi family had formed a certain degree of alliance with these companies, and they cooperated and competed.
Power surges.
The income from spiritual stones has increased every year, and now it has almost reached the level when her father was still alive.
"Brother Liang, is there anyone else asking for news about Brother Luo today?"
After Yi Xiuxiu flipped through two pages of the ledger, she asked Yi Liang, who was busy working non-stop.
"It's strange to say that a few days ago there were always people asking for information, but these days there is suddenly no news."
Yi Liang raised his head and looked at the eldest lady who now had the word "confidence" written on her face, feeling pleased in her heart.
"Oh? Have you found out the origins of those people?"
Yi Xiuxiu's heart moved. This kind of movement looked like she had found what she wanted to find, so she withdrew the manpower. Could it be that Brother Luo was found?
"Many of them are members of the Ye family, and many of them are immortal cultivators from outer islands."
Yiliang's expression suddenly became serious. He had never had a good impression of the Ye family who bullied the eldest lady.
"I knew it was them. They've always made noises over the years. Either they built a new dock somewhere, or they recruited a foundation-building offering from somewhere. It just doesn't feel right."
Yi Xiuxiu frowned slightly. The Ye family's aggressive expansion has made various business families on Kuixing Island nervous. Otherwise, she would not have been able to form alliances with other families so easily. The main reason is that everyone has signed up to keep warm.
need.
After many years, the Ye family once again searched for Brother Luo's whereabouts, which made Yi Xiuxiu feel a little uneasy and couldn't help but recall what happened back then.
At this moment, two men in black robes, surrounded by several Ye family clerks, passed by the door of Lanyunge. One of them brought a familiar feeling to Yi Xiuxiu who was reminiscing.
"Huh? This person looks like Brother Luo."
Yi Xiuxiu murmured to herself in surprise, then shook her head and said:
"It's impossible. Brother Luo has already left for Tianxing City. How could he be on Kuixing Island and hang out with a group of Ye family members? It's impossible."
...
In the Ye family compound, Luo Hong and Jing'er, clad in black robes, were stopped at the door.
"Who are you? Don't you know that we need to keep a low profile?"
The old man with a white beard at the door stared, and after asking in a low voice, his gaze rested on Luo Hong, who was wearing a mask.
This person seems to have only the third level of Qi refining, but in fact he is a monk in the late stage of foundation building. The technique he practices has a miraculous effect in condensing Qi. Even Luo Hong can only sense that there is something wrong with this person, but cannot specifically judge him.
of cultivation.
But before coming, Luo Hong had obtained detailed information from the devil's mouth. Not only did he know this person's true cultivation level, but he also understood his magical powers.
Facing the question, Luo Hong said nothing and directly showed a flaming token.
The old man with white beard was suddenly startled. After giving Luo Hong a surprised look, he stepped aside respectfully.
Luo Hong immediately walked into Ye's house with Jing'er and headed directly towards the underground darkroom.
During this period, if anyone blocks his way, Luo Hong only needs to show his token, and that person will obediently step aside.
This token is the skull's will-o'-the-wisp token. Holding it can mobilize all the Qingyang Sect monks around Kuixing Island.
There was no obstruction along the way, and the two of them soon went down to the dark room. They heard that someone was coming with a will-o'-the-wisp order, and three black-robed monks who were staying at the Ye family were already waiting here.
"Has this senior brother just been sent to Kuixing Island? Why have we never seen you before?"
One of them had the courage to ask. Logically speaking, they should not ask more questions. They were just carrying out the tasks assigned by the order holder. However, one of them was because the order holder came suddenly, and the other was because this person was wearing a mask and no one knew him, so it caused a stir.
overcame their suspicions.
"I am Master's direct disciple. I have practiced in seclusion for many years. It is normal for you not to recognize me. In addition, I have been lurking on Kuixing Island for many years. If I had not received the urgent message from Master today, I would not have come here with the will-o'-the-wisp order.
.”
After Luo Hong explained one sentence, he immediately pointed out angrily:
"The situation is urgent. You have to wait within one day to gather all the disciples of my Qingyang Sect who are lurking around Kuixing Island here!"
"One day! Senior brother, this time is too short. The disciples responsible for looking after the formation on the outer islands cannot possibly arrive in time."
The pale-faced black-robed monk cried bitterly, this senior brother really has the same virtue as his master, and is not unreasonable at all!
"I don't care, this is Master's order. Anyone who fails to show up after the deadline will be punished by going to the Demon's Cave to feed the demons for a day! If there are some of your subordinates who fail to show up after the deadline, you will go to the Demon's Cave to feed the demons for a few days.
Haha, the two junior brothers who have been punished for three days must be careful. Feeding demons in the demon cave for more than five days will be life-threatening."
Luo Hong used strict instructions to shift the attention of the three of them from doubts about his identity to how to avoid being punished.
Especially the two black-robed monks who were named, immediately changed their expressions and rushed out of the dark room to inform their subordinates.
"Wait a moment and bring me this girl's husband."
The man in black robe who was walking a little slower was stopped by Luo Hong.
Luo Hong was seen lifting off Jing'er's black robe, revealing her hands bound by the ghost chain. The man immediately recognized Jing'er as the female cultivator who had escaped from the hands of his two senior brothers earlier.
"Yes, junior brother, I obey!"
Wearing a mask, Luo Hong stood at the top of the dark room with his hands behind his back, as motionless as an iron pillar. Almost half an hour later, a group of more than 20 Qingyang Sect Qi Refining Stage disciples filed in.
They are all the Qingyang Sect monks who are lurking on Kuixing Island during the Qi Refining Period. If Yi Liang were here, he would find that several of them were the ones who went to Lanyung Pavilion to inquire about Luo Hong.
The masked men standing above were senior masters at the peak of foundation building, and they still held the will-o'-the-wisp order in their hands. They didn't dare to make a mistake, and they didn't dare to breathe even when they were gathered together, let alone whisper.
Therefore, although there are many more people in the darkroom, you can still hear a needle drop.
As time passed, there were more and more people in the dark room, and there were no longer only disciples in the Qi Refining stage, but also several black-robed monks in the Foundation Establishment stage. Their cultivation levels ranged from the early stage to the late stage. Bai Hu was guarding the door.
The old man was among them.
"I want to see who it is that has such great official authority that it makes me fly thousands of miles to come here!"
A monk with big shoulders and a round waist, with skin as black as coal, walked into the dark room with a loud voice. He seemed to have great opinions on Luo Hong as soon as he came in. He didn't care about the will-o'-the-wisp order and began to sarcastically and covertly curse him.
"Boy, who are you?!"
"I am Zhuo Bufan, a direct disciple of the ancient elder. Brother Meng Long, I have long admired your name. My master has mentioned you many times, and every time you are praised a lot."
This person's temperament was so special that Luo Hong identified him immediately. Here on Kuixing Island, only Yu Menglong, who is also an elder disciple of Jiedan, dared to speak wild words to the holder of the Ghost Fire Order.
.
After all, most of the orders issued by the order holder come from the Danjie elders, but the order holder himself is just a peak foundation-building monk like him.
Others would worry about offending Luo Hong, but he also had Elder Jiedan as his back-up, but he was not afraid at all, and immediately took out the anger on Luo Hong for being forced to travel thousands of miles.
"Why did you call us together? Even if you hold the will-o'-the-wisp order, if you want to kill someone for no reason, you still have to go to the devil's cave!"
Yu Menglong asked with his naturally loud voice. It was not that he doubted Luo Hong's identity, but he simply wanted to find trouble.
But if Luo Hong doesn't handle his trouble-making well, it will arouse everyone's suspicion, and the Qingyang Clan's operation to annihilate all the underground forces around Kuixing Island in one fell swoop will fail.
Fortunately, this was a situation Luo Hong had already considered, and Jing'er's role came into play at this time.
"When the master went to carry out the task given by the young master fifteen years ago, he unexpectedly made a huge discovery.
The formation master named and hunted by the young sect leader was actually hiding on an isolated island shrouded in sea fog.
There is a hidden force on this isolated island. After some investigation, my master suspected that the monks on the island were related to the Star Palace, so he ordered me to gather people to go and eliminate this group of monks in one fell swoop.
Think about it, how great your contribution is to killing a group of monks who may be Xinggong Anzi!"
After Luo Hong's lies aroused everyone's greed, he immediately pushed Jing'er and let her fall next to the unconscious Yuan Xingping, and then said:
"These two people are in the same group as that formation mage, and they must also be related to Xinggong."
"My husband and I are not disciples of the Star Palace, please let us go!"
Jing'er said viciously, surrounded by everyone.
"Hmph, you dare to say that you are not from Star Palace. If you were really a disciple of an ordinary small sect, how could you be so arrogant at this time? Only a disciple of Star Palace can be so domineering!"
The pale-faced black-robed monk said coldly that it was this couple who made him go to the Devil's Cave to be punished for three days. Now he wanted to kill this woman immediately to vent his hatred.
"Jie Jie, you will know if you are a disciple of Xing Palace and search for souls. Come here to me!"
Yu Menglong stretched out his hand to grab Jing'er's Tianling Cap, intending to use the soul-searching technique to verify his identity on the spot!
However, after a crisp "pop" sound, Yu Menglong retracted his hand with a gloomy face.
It turned out that Luo Hong drove the ghost chain and opened the palm extended by Yu Menglong.
"Zhuo, what do you mean?"
"I want to ask you what do you mean? It's still useful for the master to keep her. Could it be that you want to kill someone and silence her?!"
Luo Hong retorted unceremoniously.
"If we don't search for souls at this time, how can we verify the truth of what you said? I think you are guilty!"
Yu Menglong continued to talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty, are you teaching my master how to do things?!"
Luo Hong's tone became colder and colder, and his murderous intent was revealed unabashedly, as if he would take action at the next moment.
"You two don't have to fight. If it's the ancient elder's order, the image transmission bead will be delivered together with the password. Brother Zhuo only needs to show the image transmission bead, and everyone will naturally have nothing to say."
The one who came forward to make peace was the old man with a white beard.
Out of fear of this person's concealment skills, Yu Menglong did not speak again to express his anger, but looked at Luo Hong blankly, his meaning couldn't be clearer.
