There are various ways to stimulate potential, but there are not many times when they can be used, unless it is a matter of life and death.

Usually, this kind of mental method is similar to chicken ribs, if you really meet someone whose cultivation realm is obviously higher than your own, your hard work will not have much effect.

Qiu Lingtong was originally in the third realm of six-rank qi refining, and after using the "Burning Blood Yuan Breath", he only increased his physical strength and true qi to a level equivalent to the seventh-grade realm, and he could temporarily block Li Yuanfang, but after all, it was different from the real seventh-grade innate realm.

For example, a boxer's usual boxing power is 500 pounds, and it suddenly increases to 700 pounds before the field, which seems to be a lot stronger, but he has not usually adapted to 700 pounds of boxing power, and the way and speed of punching are definitely not as coordinated as usual.

Qiu Lingtong is like the fighter who has been temporarily promoted, his strength has gone up, but his control has decreased. In fact, the biggest effect of this method of stimulating potential is to escape.

Qiu Lingtong plucked up the courage to attack a few moves, and when he saw Li Yuanfang's Dream Shattering Knife lightly picking up his own attack, he didn't have any difficulty in taking his attack, biting the tip of his tongue, spurting out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned pale, his breath skyrocketed by another point, and the blood knife slashed out with all his might, no matter what the consequences were, he turned around and flew back.

Li Yuanfang was not surprised, his body turned into a black light, and he chased after him, and he was bound to behead Qiu Lingtong under the knife and take revenge on the Qiu family and Luoshui Society.

Qiu Lingtong's speed was extremely fast, and his body conjured up fragments, and he escaped thirty-four zhang away in a few breaths, but it was still not enough to face Li Yuanfang, who had a first-class body speed.

When he hadn't run to the gate of the fang, he was caught up by Li Yuanfang. After some fighting, Qiu Lingtong, who was exhausted of blood, had no choice but to die tragically under Li Yuanfang's knife, and his head was also cut off, leaving only a headless corpse lying on the ground.

The next day, Qiu Lingtong's head was hung on the valve reading in front of the house of Qiu Shenji, the general of Jin Wuwei, with his eyes wide open with endless fear.

After the subordinates of the Qiu family took off Qiu Lingtong's head and gave it to Qiu Shenji, Qiu Shenji was so angry that Qiu Shenji smashed several pieces of jade that he usually loved.

In the next few days, several middle-level backbones of the Luoshui Society were assassinated and died, which made the Luoshui Society panic and lose the arrogance of a few days ago.

Qiu Shenji was furious, and he couldn't wait to find Li Yuanfang immediately, divide his five horses, and relieve the hatred in his heart, so he sent someone to notify the Luozhou Mansion and offer a reward for Li Yuanfang's capture.

At this time, Xin Yuan and the others had not yet returned to Luoyang, and after hearing this drastic change, they returned the goods to the accompanying cargo owners, and then hid in the secret residence prepared before, waiting for Li Yuanfang's order.

The Qiu family stole chickens and rice, causing both the Luoshui Society and the Tsing Yi Society to lose, and no one got any benefits.

It really had to be compared to the Qiu family's loss was greater. Qiu Lingtong seems to be an inconspicuous person, and he is the last one of the three masters of the Qiu family, in essence, he has been in charge of the Luoshui Society for a long time, and he is a delicate person, almost controlling half of the underground forces in Luoyang City, until the rise of Li Yuanfang, it slightly eroded the territory of the Luoshui Society.

Without Qiu Lingtong, the Qiu family would have a high-ranking and powerful general in the officialdom like Qiu Shenji on the surface, and the power behind the scenes would be much worse than before. This is also the reason why Qiu Shenji was angry when he saw Qiu Lingtong die, a while ago, Qiu Lingtong easily found out the stronghold of the Snake Spirit Heshan Xiang Society, which is enough to prove his ability.

The middle-level backbones of the Luoshui Society killed by Li Yuanfang were also influential. They are all veterans of the Luoshui Society for a long time, not comparable to the children of the Qiu family's own branch who take money in it, without these people to control the scene, the Luoshui Society would not be able to settle the complicated situation in Luoyang City.

Tsing Yi Society and Luoshui Society have been hostile for many years, and they each know each other very well, and Li Yuanfang is also the key point of Luoshui Society with one blow.

Li Rong stayed in the backyard of the Sizhou Thorn Mansion and talked to Di Renjie, so he found a quiet room to secretly breathe and recover from his injuries.

After dinner, Di Renjie retreated from the servants arranged by Shi Zhao Zhenji, and ordered the thousands of knights around him to guard the various doors, quietly waiting for Liu Xuan's arrival.

As soon as the hour arrived, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and the soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard were unaware.

It's no wonder that these soldiers, the skills of the men in black are far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers.

The man in black strode into the main hall.

"Brother Di, I haven't seen you for decades, but are you okay?" The person who came was the "Fengshen Knife" Liu Xuan.

"A handful of old bones is not bad, but Brother Liu's business has been prosperous over the years, and he has lived quite nourishingly!" Di Renjie laughed.

Yue Wangfu and Tianwu Sect joined forces to embezzle hundreds of millions of tributes sent to the imperial court, and many of these money and grain were entrusted to the Black and White Society to transport, which was ridiculed by Di Renjie.

Liu Xuan is also an old man, he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string song, knows what Di Renjie means, and said with a wry smile: "We are just a mess." ”

Di Renjie invited Liu Xuan to sit down and sat on his left hand, while Yuan Xingchong and Li Rong sat on his right.

"I told you what I mean, I guess you already know?" Di Renjie said, "Today I want you to give me a satisfactory answer. ”

Di Renjie directly stated his intentions and did not give Liu Xuan room to buffer. He has been in Jiangnan for more than a month, and there has been no progress in the matter, which makes him quite angry, and he can't care about being polite to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan's expression tightened, and he took a sip of the tea that had already been cold on the case in front of him and said: "The Tianwu Sect is different from our Black and White Society, they use the ancestral temples all over the south of the Yangtze River as a foothold, pretending to be ghosts, deceiving people and property, and their power is far above the Black and White Society. ”

Di Renjie's intentions have been clarified by Yuan Xingchong, Liu Xuan summoned Fan Li and several other high-level officials in the society to listen to their opinions after Yuan Xingchong and the two left, and finally decided to move closer to Di Renjie, but he was not deeply involved, and could provide Di Renjie with information about the Heavenly Witch Sect.

"There are thousands of ancestral temples in Jiangnan, these are all the failures of the Heavenly Witch Sect?" Di Renjie frowned and asked.

Di Renjie is an important member of the imperial court on the surface, and secretly he is also the hidden appearance of the Jinglun Heavenly Palace, and he is no stranger to the demon sects, knowing that the Tianwu Sect is based on ancestral temples, but it is not particularly clear how many ancestral temples there are and how powerful they are.

"Most of them are, in the land of Wuyue in the south, the folk customs believe in ghosts and gods, and they emphasize witchcraft. Therefore, the Tianwu Sect has a deep foundation, and has set up many obscene shrines in various states and counties, expanding its power, and almost every state and county in the Jianghuai area has the ancestral temple of the Tianwu Sect. Liu Xuan said.

"No wonder!" Di Renjie sighed.

It was difficult for him to move an inch in the south of the Yangtze River, everything was not satisfactory, and it was difficult to find empirical evidence for everything, not only because some people in the government were against him, but also because the local forces did not cooperate.

In fact, after Wu Zetian heard Di Renjie's report, he sent Yuan Xingchong and a battalion of thousands of knights to assist Di Renjie, and decided to attack Tianwu Sect, which had deep political considerations behind it.

Since the opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, exchanges between the north and the south have become increasingly close, and the economy of the south is also rising rapidly, which is more important in the territory of the Tang Empire. Every year, the grain ships on the canal are densely packed to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is a proof of this, and a large amount of grain, gold and silk flow into Luoyang, which is enough to show the importance of the south.

Then strengthening the control of the south has become a top priority for Wu Zetian and even the imperial court, this time just encountered the king of Yue, a long-term entrenched clan in the south, to rebel, Wu Zetian took the opportunity to use this as an excuse to rectify the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and it became a logical thing to sweep away the Tianwu sect that had a deep collusion with the king of Yue. As for the origins of the same Demon Sect, there is comparable to the power and interests of reality. Di Renjie knows this, Yuan Xingchong is no exception, and Liu Xuan doesn't know if he knows it.

"However, the Heavenly Witch Sect is suspected of robbing the imperial court's tribute, and the imperial court will not let it go." Di Renjie said.

"Well, the Heavenly Witch Sect is really a big cancer in the local bullying market, extorting money, and disturbing the place." Liu Xuan said.

"What is the strength of the Wu Sect that day, if more than a thousand ancestral temples are presided over by him, there will be thousands of members." Di Renjie asked.

"The Heavenly Witch Sect has seven first-class masters such as the Holy Lord, the Holy Maiden and the Five Beasts, and the rest are invincible, and the ancestral temples presided over are mainly Emperor Jiang, Xia Yu, Wu Taibo, Ji Za, and Wu Yuan's five ancestral halls, mixed with unknown obscene shrines." Liu Xuan said.

According to the Tang people, "although Yuehai is desecrated, famous mountains and rivers, emperors and sages, where they are not in the classics, then the obscene shrine is also, the former person has no merit to be called in life, and there is no festival to be rewarded in death, then the obscene shrine is also." "Most of the ancestral temples of the Tianwu Sect are obscene shrines.

"Where does Brother Liu think he should start dealing with the Heavenly Witch Sect?" Di Renjie asked.

"Starting from the obscene ancestral hall, banning the ancestral temple of the Tianwu Sect in the name of the government, and uprooting the foundation of its sect, it will definitely be hit hard." Liu Xuan said.

Di Renjie twisted his beard and smiled, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Undoubtedly, Liu Xuan's suggestion was more practical and extremely feasible, and if he could act in this way, he would indeed be able to severely damage the Heavenly Witch Sect and greatly reduce its strength.

"There is some truth, can Brother Liu give the importance of these ancestral temples, those are the focus of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and we can prescribe the right medicine and deal a heavy blow to it." Di Renjie said.

"Since I should serve the eldest brother, I will send someone news about the Heavenly Witch Sect that we have in our possession when I turn around." Liu Xuan replied angrily.

The four of them talked about other things until midnight.

After Liu Xuan said goodbye to Di Renjie, he stepped out of the main hall, jumped over the wall, and disappeared into the night.
