Gushan outside Donghua City is where Li Zhen retreats.
At this time, Li Zhen had been in seclusion for more than a month, and now he had reached a critical period of breakthrough. However, at this moment, a figure came from far and near.
The person who came was none other than the Ghost Ancestor.
After Prince Li Xu revealed his treason plan, he immediately reported it to Li Zhen. This news would definitely make him very happy, because for him, this news was definitely a god-given opportunity to overthrow Li Xu.
"My subordinate has something urgent to ask to see the young master!"
The Ghost Ancestor came to the hidden cave and said respectfully.
Li Zhen heard this and cursed bad luck. Now was the critical moment for breakthrough. He was disturbed at this time, so he couldn't help but feel irritated. However, he did not intend to leave, and was ready to break through first.
Seeing that Li Zhen didn't respond, Ghost Ancestor confirmed that Li Zhen was in the cave. He pondered for a moment, stopped making any sound, and knelt on the ground to wait quietly.
His performance is really something that ordinary people can't do.
The dignified earth-level powerful man, the cultivator who climbed the road to immortality, just knelt down and waited for a response.
Who would believe this kind of thing if told?
The ghost ancestor completely gave up his dignity in this move.
As the old saying goes, there is no such thing as giving for no reason. Paying always comes with the expectation of reward.
The more the Ghost Ancestor behaves like this, the more he has a plan. What he plans is self-evident.
Intersecting with the improvement of cultivation and the enhancement of strength, it is not shameful for him to discard some nihilistic things, but it is worth every penny.
The Ghost Ancestor knelt down for a whole day, and by the early morning of the next day, strong and powerful fluctuations of true energy appeared in the cave, which shocked him.
"I'm afraid this power is slightly less than that of the Three Tribulations Human Immortal, right?"
The power Li Zhen displayed at this time was equivalent to the peak of the Three Tribulations Human Immortal, or even half a step into the realm.
Without relying on magic weapons, Li Zhen is already on par with his grandfather based on his own strength. If he cooperates with the Five Emperors' magical skills, his grandfather will definitely not be his opponent.
The next moment, hearty laughter echoed in the cave.
Li Zhen was naturally happy after successfully reaching the peak of True Essence, especially since everything was going according to plan. This feeling of having everything under control made him feel even more happy.
A black shadow suddenly flew out of the cave and killed the Ghost Ancestor.
The Ghost Ancestor's eyes flashed, and he fought Li Zhen with his bare hands without using any magic weapon.
Li Zhen relied on the Golden Light Escape Technique, used the Divine Flame Palm and the Shocking Wave Fist in turns. For a moment, he was able to beat the Ghost Ancestor back continuously, without the ability to fight back.
After several moves, the ghost ancestor was defeated and knocked to the ground.
"Congratulations to the young major for your great progress!"
The Ghost Ancestor flattered him and said: "Young Master's magical power is unparalleled, but his subordinates cannot match it. In the future, he will dominate the world and it will be just around the corner."
Li Zhen fell in front of the Ghost Ancestor, and there was no joy on his face. Instead, he scolded: "Don't admit defeat on purpose in the future. It won't be an example next time."
Today's Li Zhen will never be fooled by sweet words. He is indeed very strong now, but he is still far behind the ghost ancestor. Without the help of treasures, he has no chance of winning.
The Ghost Ancestor's flattery was finally slapped on the horse's hooves.
"This subordinate deserves to die. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
The Ghost Ancestor quickly admitted his mistake.
Li Zhen nodded and asked: "You said yesterday that there was something urgent? But there is a big operation on the prince's side?"
Before going into seclusion, Li Zhen had given instructions not to disturb him unless it was something urgent.
"Replying to the Young Master! The Holy One has returned to the palace."
The Ghost Ancestor said.
Because of his status as a powerful person in the land, the king of Hua State did not take him seriously at all, but because of his relationship with Li Zhen, he respected him as a saint.
"Hmm? The battle at Fengyang Pass is over?"
Li Zhen knew that his father had been resisting foreign enemies at Fengyang Pass.
"The war at Fengyang Pass is not over yet."
Ancestor Ghost Ghost said: "According to what I know, Liang Guo's attack was aided by immortal cultivators, which is why the war lasted for so long. Recently, the other party called in an immortal cultivator to help. The saint was defeated and seriously injured.
The injury was serious, so I came back secretly for treatment because I was worried about Fengyang Pass..."
The ancestor of Ghost Ghost described the situation he learned from the prince to Li Zhen.
"Humph! What a waste."
When Li Zhen learned that the prince did not dare to go to Fengyang Pass, he had a look of contempt on his face. How could such a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death have the right to enjoy the dignity of a prince of a country?
This action of the prince and the queen was more beneficial to Li Zhen. At the same time, he also found an opportunity to strengthen his own strength from this incident. He set his target on the two immortal cultivators of the Liang Kingdom. If they could subdue them, he would
There are four strong men from the land who are loyal to them. Wouldn't it be easy to expand their territory in the future?
"It seems that our previous plan will undergo major changes."
Li Zhen originally had a plan to deal with the prince and the queen, but since their mother and son were planning to commit rebellion, his plan must be changed. Fortunately, this was a good thing for him.
"I won't show up. You go see Duke Lu immediately. The prince and the queen cannot avoid him."
Li Zhen arranged.
"I obey my orders!"
The Ghost Ancestor took the order and left. Li Zhen stood on the hillside and looked at Donghua City from a distance. He murmured in a cold voice: "You are really doing your own thing."
········································
Outside Fengyang Pass, Liang Jun’s camp.
The dwarf who was invited to help out a few days ago never came back after being injured and left. Wu Chenzi's performance at that time was indeed chilling, and many people in the Liang Army privately despised him.
Today Wuchenzi left the military camp with an excuse to find the dwarf.
Wuchenzi alone on Liang Jun's side was unable to break through Fengyang Pass, which was guarded by Yuxi. He wanted to find the dwarf back and plot against Fengyang Pass.
After Wuchenzi left the military camp, he followed the direction the dwarf left that day and about a day later came to a barren mountain on the border between Liang and Hua.
Wuchenzi was in mid-air and glanced at the barren mountain, then his eyes fell to somewhere, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Xian! Brother Xian! Brother Yu is here to find you. Where are you?"
Wuchenzi looked anxious and regretful, and kept wandering over the barren mountain, saying in a sincere tone: "Brother Xian! I couldn't help you that day. I hope that for the sake of many years of relationship, I can forgive Brother Yu once, and Brother Yu is willing to compensate Xian."
younger brother."
Wuchenzi reveals his true feelings, giving the impression that if you don't forgive, it will be your own fault.
Wu Chenzi walked around the barren mountain three times. Where he had paid special attention before, the mountain suddenly moved, then exploded, and the dwarf appeared from the mountain.
When Wuchenzi saw the dwarf appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Finally we found Brother Xian. Since Brother Xian left that day, Brother Fool has been looking for Brother Xian's whereabouts."
The dwarf looked unhappy and was obviously still angry.
That day Emperor Hua attacked him, but Wuchenzi only looked after himself, causing him to be seriously injured. Seeing such injustice, he left in anger.
"Brother Fool has been fighting with the King of Nahua for a long time, and he became wary of the jade seal in his heart, so he dodged uncontrollably and forgot that Brother Xian was beside him. This is really a crime worthy of death."
Wuchenzi took out a small wooden box, held it up with both hands and said, "Brother Fool feels guilty, and is willing to compensate the wise brother. I hope you will accept your small kindness."
When the dwarf heard this, his expression softened slightly, and his eyes fell on the wooden box in Wuchenzi's hand.
"This is?"
"Brother, you will know after you open it and take a look. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The dwarf noticed considerable mana fluctuations in the wooden box and guessed it was a good treasure, so he reached out and took it.
Wuchenzi saw it, his eyes flashed, and he urged: "Brother Xian, open it and take a look. Brother Yu has spent a lot of effort for this treasure."
When the dwarf heard this, he didn't think much, he just wanted to see what was inside.
When he opened the wooden box, a sudden change occurred, and he saw two sharp lights piercing his eyes, fast and urgent.
If you look closely, you will find that these are two small finger-long swords, compact and delicate, just like a child's toy.
The dwarf was unprepared. When he saw the two swords coming, he was so frightened that his soul left his body. He exclaimed "Ouch" and ran away with all his strength.
At this time, Wuchenzi was not as friendly as before. His face had already changed into a sinister and vicious look. He saw the two swords in the wooden box and launched an attack. To ensure that he was safe, he hid the Taoist sword in his loose embroidered robe.
It flew out and pierced the dwarf's heart.
"Take your life!"
This time the dwarf was certain to die, but despite his incredible strength, he managed to dodge the attack of a small sword, and another small sword stabbed his right eye blind. Fortunately, he stretched out his hand to grab it, but it failed to penetrate his brain.
, if this is true, my life is over.
Unfortunately, the small sword failed to dodge Wuchenzi's Dao sword. Wuchenzi's sword pierced the dwarf's heart accurately.
The dwarf was severely injured and trembled all over. He looked at Wuchenzi in shock and said: "You and I have no grievances, why are you like this?"
"My dear brother, I'm sorry. If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Wuchenzi said with a ferocious expression: "Brother Yu has been coveting your God-Gathering Pill for a long time, and today it belongs to Brother Yu."
The dwarf understood and said angrily: "You bastard, it turns out you have been thinking about my God-Gathering Pill for a long time."
"That's right! This thing is really a rash for you, go to hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wuchenzi stirred the Dao sword in his hand hard, and blood suddenly surged out like a fountain.
It stands to reason that with his heart broken, the dwarf should have been killed on the spot, but he didn't want to endure the pain, his eyes flashed with madness, and he roared: "You want to kill me? You are not qualified!"
A bad premonition immediately arose in Wuchenzi's heart, and he was about to retreat just to be on the safe side, when the dwarf grabbed the Dao sword with his bare hands, and suddenly, the Dao sword pierced his body until the hilt was gone.
At this time, Wu Chenzi and the dwarf were face to face. Wu Chenzi was shocked and wanted to abandon his sword and run away, but the dwarf's fist hit him first.
"Punch Grandpa!"
The dwarf's boxing skills were extremely good. With one punch, Wuchenzi immediately flew out like a kite. About ten feet later, he hit the ground and vomited blood. His whole body was severely injured.
When the dwarf saw this, he was still angry. He pulled out the Dao sword that had pierced his body, raised the sword and threw it at Wuchenzi.
"Grandpa will kill you today, you ungrateful thing!"
Wuchenzi turned pale with fright, and hurriedly dodged, but fortunately he was not stabbed. However, when he looked at the dwarf again, there was no trace of the dwarf, but a large pool of blood was left where he had just stood.
When Wu Chenzi saw this, he let out a long sigh, looking pained and annoyed.
After all the calculations ended in failure, how can you not be angry?
He was confident that the dwarf would definitely die, but the opponent's fatal blow left him seriously injured. It was not a wise move to drag his seriously injured body to search for the whereabouts of the dwarf.
He cherishes his life very much.
"I'm sorry you can't escape far."
Wu Chenzi definitely couldn't go back home. He planned to treat his injuries first, and then search for the whereabouts or body of the dwarf after his injuries stabilized and improved.
······································
The dwarf was seriously injured and ran away. He panicked and ran away for an unknown amount of time. When he was exhausted, he stopped and looked around. He was surrounded by endless mountains and forests.
At this time, he was blind in his right eye and his left chest was punctured. Although the bleeding was stopped during the escape, the wound was too serious and he had become a bloody man along the way, which was terrible to watch.
The momentum and majesty of his first appearance have long since disappeared.
"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
The dwarf gritted his teeth and said: "In the future, his skin will be peeled off and his bones will be broken into ashes, and he will never be reincarnated."
Wuchenzi thought that if he pierced the heart of the dwarf, he would definitely die, but he did not know that although the dwarf was seriously injured, his life was not in danger.
He was born with an unusual physique and was indeed an anomaly. In addition to his appearance, his heart was not on the left side like ordinary people, but on the right side. This meant that Wuchenzi thought he was sure of everything, but in fact he was completely wrong.
The dwarf stopped for a while over the mountain forest, and then he was about to find a hiding place to heal his wounds. But when he was about to take action, something suddenly occurred to him, so he took off his clothes and destroyed it. It was no accident that Wuchenzi found him, and he was in trouble.
There are tracking marks, so burning your clothes is a precaution.
The dwarf was already ugly, and even more unsightly when he was naked, but he didn't care. He flew to the mountains and found a hidden cave, dug into it, and began to retreat to heal his wounds.
The hole was not big enough for an adult to get into, but it was very suitable for him. But just as he was about to arrange it, there was sudden movement outside the hole, and a python came in.
The dwarf didn't notice it, so he took out a black wooden staff and threw it at the python. The python was immediately beaten into a pulp, and its position was also sunken, and it was obviously empty underneath. The dwarf was surprised when he saw this, and the black wooden stick was turned into a pulp.
The staff struck again, the ground was shattered, and a stone path appeared in front of him.
"How can there be an artificial stone road in the wilderness?"
The dwarf observed carefully and found that the stone path was not made by ordinary people, but by immortal cultivators.
"Could it be that there is a certain immortal cave down here?"
The dwarf became energetic when he thought of this, and his eyes flashed.
There are many blessed places left by our predecessors in this world, and most of them contain treasures left behind, which are enough to make a destined person reborn.
The dwarf was originally a casual cultivator. He was able to reach this stage because of his predecessors.
If today I get another treasure left behind by someone before me, this time it can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
The dwarf became more and more excited as he thought about it, so he walked down the stone path to find out.
About a meal later, a cave appeared in front of him. Even though the dwarf was a strong man in the earth, his heartbeat could not help but accelerate and he was extremely excited.
His guess was indeed correct.
The space of the cave is not large and the layout is simple. There are two rooms on the left and right. The right room is a place for alchemy and there is a broken alchemy furnace. The left room is a place for meditation and practice. There is a corpse sitting cross-legged on the couch.
, but judging from the bones, the height is no more than three feet, which means he is as tall as him.
The other person is either a child or a dwarf like him.
Next to the corpse was a piece of gold paper that had not been eroded by time. The first line was written with the four characters "Secret Technique of Earth Elements", and there were less than a thousand words below. But in the eyes of the dwarf, every word was a priceless treasure.
"Haha! God has mercy on me and allowed me to obtain this magical power. I will live forever and be free in the world. It's just around the corner!"
