A large number of foundation-building Taoist priests flew away from the Baichuan Water Dock and rushed directly to Wudu City. Their intention was to target the numerous Taoist monks in Wudu City.
Within a few years, although the casual cultivators were in tit-for-tat confrontation with the Erhai Taoist Palace and had constant friction, they not only did not stay away from the Taoist Palace and were scattered in various places, but instead gathered in Wudu City as a stronghold.
Such a place where talents gather is naturally also a place where wealth gathers. Taoist priests who are bent on making money will never miss it.
And although Xu Dao had just been out of seclusion not long ago, he also heard that there were capable people among the monks, so he reunited hundreds of monks and shouted a slogan: "If the Taoist palace violates the law, it is the same crime as the common people!
"
This slogan has really deceived many young Taoists, and has tied up many people in Wudu City, making the huge Wudu City almost owned by casual cultivators.
Fortunately, that's all.
Not to mention whether Xu Dao and others believe this sentence, it is estimated that none of the hundreds of monks who shouted the slogan believed it. After all, if these people are really what the slogan says, more than three hundred of them
Taoist priests, at least half of them should be sentenced to be quartered with five horses.
Therefore, Xu Dao guessed that the situation in Wudu City should be pretty good, and there would not be so many followers. Just as he was pondering, someone suddenly spoke beside him:
"Fellow Taoist Xu, where is Taoist Master Zhuang? Should we get closer?"
Someone else added: "You don't have to go over there. This trip is taken care of by nine Liangang Taoist priests. All we need to do is go over there, meet each other, and say good things."...
The people who spoke were the four Taoist priests who united around Xu Dao. The four of them encouraged Xu Dao to quickly go up and hug his thigh, so as not to miss the opportunity.
When Xu Dao heard the words of these Taoist priests, he suddenly chuckled in his heart. However, he did not refute their words and simply agreed: "Very good."
"Well, everyone, I would like to say goodbye first."
Xu Dao flicked his sleeves, and the sword energy on his body shot out, pulling out a white stream of light and rushing upward towards the direction of Zhuang Bufan.
Hundreds of streams of light run across the sky, winding and connected, spanning a distance of more than ten miles. But for a Taoist priest, this distance can only take a moment.
After a while, Xu Dao rushed to Zhuang Bufan's side.
I saw that Zhuang Bufan had already gathered a few people around him. Xu Dao looked at the other Taoist priests from a distance, and there were more or less other Taoist priests gathered around them.
Before Xu Dao could speak, Zhuang Bufan noticed that he was coming, so he took the initiative to call out: "Come here quickly, fellow Taoist, you and I will go together!"
Seeing Zhuang Bufan's enthusiasm, Xu Dao suddenly showed a smile on his face and answered loudly: "Brother Dao, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!"
He increased his speed again and rushed to Zhuang Bufan's side, using his sword to drive alongside the opponent.
When several groups of Taoist priests around saw this situation, they all involuntarily looked towards Xu Dao and started talking about it: "Is this Xu Dao?"
"The relationship between Daoist Zhuang and him is really good! I heard that they had a life-long friendship..."
Xu Dao and Zhuang Bufan ignored the gazes of the Taoist priests around them. They used their spiritual consciousness to talk to each other secretly:
"Brother Dao Dao, how many casual cultivators are there in the city of Wu, and who are the powerful figures? But I have to let the poor man know something, otherwise if the poor man is unlucky, his wealth and life will be lost."
Xu Dao didn't be polite to the other party and directly asked about the key information.
When Zhuang Bufan heard his question, he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, there was a hint of smile in his words: "Friend Taoist, don't panic, I am just going to tell you this."
"There are currently no less than two hundred Taoist priests in the city, and among them, the number of those who have reached the level of refining the Gang is no less than four. The four who can be identified happen to be stationed in the four ghost markets, so we must be on guard..."
The two chatted in detail, and Xu Dao immediately learned a lot of inside information from Zhuang Bufan.
It turns out that in addition to the recent burning of the Hundred Ships Water Dock, the casual cultivators outside have also organized manpower to ambush the people in the Taoist Palace.
At the beginning, it was just Taoist disciples at the Qi-refining level who were attacking each other, but later they started to attack Taoist priests at the foundation-building level. Naturally, the people in the Taoist palace were furious about this and refused to tolerate it.
, privately, there are many organized personnel to fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood.
There have been countless small disputes, and there have been more than ten major disputes. There have been more than ten Taoist priests at the foundation level, including Qi Refining Taoist disciples, Fetus Breath Taoist boys and so on.
Several.
Between the two factions, although the number of people in the Dao Palace is small, they all have deep magic power and sophisticated spells. Compared with them, the casual cultivators suffered heavy losses.
But the more this happens, the greater the resentment of Wu Guo's non-religious cultivators towards the Erhai Taoist Palace. In addition, the people in the Taoist Palace are usually domineering, and in the current season, they are even more arrogant and extreme, suppressing and excluding outsiders from all aspects.
Loose practice.
Therefore, coupled with the secret fueling of some careerists with ulterior motives, this resulted in the burning of the Taoist palace.
In the end, Zhuang Bufan said to Xu sincerely:
"Wudu City is the first battle of cutting down mountains and destroying temples. Taoist friends must be careful and don't forget about yourself for the sake of profit. As for earning benefits, you can wait until you break these loose cultivators.
It will be much simpler then.”
After hearing what the other party said, Xu Dao's face changed slightly, and his sense of alertness increased. He originally felt that there was a lot of fishiness in this conflict, and Zhuang Bufan's words completely confirmed his suspicions.
Xu Dao murmured in his heart: "I'm afraid the identity origins of these careerists are not simple. They may not be from Wu Guozhong at all."
Combined with the Erhai Taoist Palace's fanfare and attacks from all directions, it is estimated that the purpose of the Taoist Palace is not just to teach casual cultivators a lesson, but more likely to train troops, remove nails, or calm down the internal affairs first... or...
Both.
A bigger storm is still brewing.
An idea swirled in Xu Dao's mind, and he immediately used his spiritual consciousness to quietly ask Zhuang Bufan:
"I dare to ask, brother, what is the attitude of the three Taoist masters in the palace?"
This question stopped Zhuang Bufan. The figure he transformed into shook his head and did not reply to him for a long time. Finally, he just said out loud: "The three Taoists are so profound that even a poor Taoist doesn't know them."
After a pause, Zhuang Bufan added: "No matter what happens, you and I just need to follow Taoist Master Jinlin closely. Taoist Master will definitely not treat you and me badly."
"Yes, thank you Brother Dao for your advice." Although Xu Dao was noncommittal about the last half of Zhuang Bufan's words, the other party's sincere advice really made him happy.
After a few more words, while the two were chatting, the huge Wudu City appeared in their sight.
The long coastline is winding and twisted, with nine wide dykes running across the ground like scars.
Under the dim sunlight, the mottled walls of Wudu City, which are dozens of feet high, reveal a strong and solid temperament all over the city, as if they will never be broken through eternity.
But in the eyes of many Taoist priests, this city is a delicious bear's paw, just waiting for them to eat it.
Whoosh whoosh!
Streams of light accelerated across the horizon, rushing towards Wudu City crazily.
At this time, huge mana pillars rose up in the sky above Wu Capital City, with a majestic aura. And to Xu Dao's surprise, a rich aura also filled Wu with the appearance of the mana pillars.
The upper and lower sides of the capital.
Buzz! Within a few breaths, an extremely huge formation gradually took shape, covering the entire Wu capital city.
"Tsk!" Zhuang Bufan looked at this scene and said, "These casual cultivators really have bad intentions. They actually took advantage of the fact that we were being recalled to seize this city."
The scene in front of him made Xu Dao's heart skip a beat, and he wondered if there was an ambush on the part of the casual cultivators. But when he looked at Zhuang Bufan, he didn't see worry on his face.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "If you want to take something, you must give it first. Could it be that the Dao Palace is inviting you to enter the urn?"
He then looked at the other Taoist priests and found that although the movements of the Wuzhao Taoist priests were hurried, they were not too anxious. It seemed that most of them had passed their Qi.
Soon, streaks of spiritual light floated in the sky above Wudu City.
There are more than a hundred Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace, with nine Liangang Taoist priests as nodes, surrounding the entire Wu capital city.
Compared with the huge Wudu City, although the Taoist priests were small in stature, the arrival of everyone obviously made the entire Wudu City quiet.
There were only more than two hundred mana pillars supporting the city, and all the towns were silent. If not for the presence of people in every house, Xu Dao would have thought that Wu Capital City had become an empty city.
He had already met up with four Taoist priests he was friends with, gathered into a group, and stood near Zhuang Bufan, ready to go.
Every Taoist priest in the dojo was working hard, with either nervousness or expectation in their eyes, all mixed with excitement.
Only those nearly a thousand Taoist disciples who came with them had panic and worry on their faces. Now they really have to fight with the casual cultivators. These people have not built a foundation, so the possibility of death and injury will be much greater.
They couldn't help but feel nervous.
Maybe Xu Dao and others arrived very early and caught the casual cultivators off guard. The other party only had time to release the formation. They didn't know how to deal with it for the time being, so they all pretended to be dead. There was silence in the city.
However, Xu Dao and others did not have that much patience. When most of the people arrived, one of the nine Taoist priests from the Dao Palace walked out and coldly drank towards Wu Ducheng below:
"We are traveling to the Dao Palace. Why don't you quickly open the formation and welcome us!"
Another Lian Gang Taoist priest sneered: "I think these guys have taken advantage of the courage of the bear and the leopard. Even we dare to turn away the goods that occupy the magpie's nest!"
Zhuang Bufan, who was among the Lian Gang Taoist priests, also used his sword energy and sword light to unleash waves of power and press towards Wu Capital City.
He also said in a red-faced manner: "Fellow Taoists, hurry up and get out of the battle. Pindao and the others are just following the Taoist master's order to search for the murderer. They are not harming innocent people."
The wind and clouds above Wudu City were changing, the sun was dimming, and dark clouds were gathering.
Xu Dao and others stood in the air one by one, each releasing their breath and mana, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Finally, a voice rang out in Wudu City: "Haha! Why are you Taoist priests going to war? Isn't it good to make peace and make money?"
With this person taking the lead, the city immediately started shouting again and again: "He is really arrogant and domineering. More than a hundred Taoist priests came out in full force! Are the people from Erhai here to eradicate the weeds?"
Hearing the ridicule below, a Taoist priest from the Taoist Palace immediately returned with a sneer:
"Exactly! You have repeatedly offended our Dao Palace, how can I let you go!"
Although Xu Dao couldn't see the faces of the Taoist priests in the city, he could find that they all fell silent after hearing these words.
The people in the Taoist palace lost the patience to talk to each other. After several words, they couldn't wait to urge him, and they all wanted to rush into Wudu City and make a fortune.
The nine leading Taoist priests suddenly released all their magic power, and bang, nine huge figures appeared in the sky above Wudu City.
The Taoist priest who was the first to speak suddenly transformed into a giant snake that was dozens of feet tall. Two huge wings sprouted from his back. The wings were fully extended and could cover an area of tens of feet.
A trace of cyan luck was entangled under the scales of this giant flying snake, which immediately looked fierce and evil, definitely not a good person.
Xu Dao looked on and recognized the other party's identity, "He is cultivating the Soaring Snake Demonic Body! This person is from the Tengzhao."
Before he could observe too much, there were loud shouts, and the other Taoist priests also transformed into demon bodies or legal bodies one after another.
The hundreds of Taoist priests who were originally small in size swelled in size and turned into behemoths measuring tens or dozens of feet tall.
Xu Dao followed the trend and transformed his physical body into the appearance of a scaly dragon, walking rampantly in mid-air.
All of a sudden.
Those with horns, those with scales, those with fangs, those with hair on their bodies, those with scarlet eyes...all kinds of ferocious giants, black, red, yellow or green, all lay on the formation.
He was staring at the people in the city, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.
The entire city of Wu was surrounded by Taoist priests. It was no longer a city to protect the environment and the people, but a cage where chickens and ducks were locked up and ready for slaughter.
"Hiss!" A deep or heavy roar, sneers sounded, with different voices, "Hiss!!"
At this moment, several nervous shouts rang out in the city: "Wuna Palace! This city has a population of nearly one million. Aren't you afraid that the whole city will suffer during a battle of wits?"
"The essence of Wu's population, the imperial court, and the ancestral halls of large and small tribes are all here! Your Erhai Dao Palace is just a palace under the command of Wu. Are you really going to go against the grain and attack the city and kill people with such boldness!?"
"Since you don't care, why should you care? If the city is destroyed, kill all the people in the city."
Listening to this tone, it seemed that the Taoist priests in the city wanted to take the initiative to discuss it. But after Xu Dao and others heard this, they had no intention of turning back.
Someone raised their voice and said: "It's very good, it's very good, it won't be destroyed until it's established, the old won't go away, and the new won't come in!"
Others laughed unbridled: "Jie Jie Jie! Die!"
Cutting down mountains and destroying temples, there are no taboos.
All the Taoist priests looked at the city below with sneers on their faces and roared:
"You guys can all be killed if you count them!"
Please give me a monthly ticket! Just over a thousand is enough.
