Volume 3: Chapter 13 [The Wrath of the Shadow Society]

At the same time as Wang Rui was cultivating, in the southern part of the Jin Kingdom, in a corner of the reckless barren mountains, there were several rainbow lights flying from the sky, and then getting closer and closer, and finally descending, coming to a collapsed mountain peak, and jumping down Seven or eight men and women, all dressed in mortal clothes.

These people did not have uniform clothing, and they were very mixed, some were merchants, some were beggars, and there were monks, nuns, Taoist priests, merchants, and so on.

The man at the head was a middle-aged scribe man, holding a folding fan in his hand, and at this time he took out something similar to a compass from his arms, examined it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, it is here, you will quickly clean up these things."

The others clenched their fists in agreement, and then each used their own means to carry the stones in front of them, and after about half a day's effort, after the scattered stones were removed, a hole appeared.

"Liu Xi is a middle-level and senior helper of our association, and in the past 20 years, he has worked hard and made a lot of contributions. This person has the audacity to provoke my Shadow Society, and I will not let it go." The middle-aged scribe said solemnly while shaking the paper fan, and the Taoist priest and nun next to him all nodded yes.

Soon, the Taoist priest took the lead, leading the nuns, merchants, and beggars to explore, while the scribe and others stayed outside and waited.

The entrance of the cave was pitch black, and I saw that the nun's cuffs flicked, and a magic weapon flew out, and the brilliance bloomed, and suddenly the surroundings lit up.

After walking for a while, the front was blocked by the collapsed stones, but the cramped environment at this time was obviously not suitable for carrying it again.

"A few fellow Daoists retreated, waiting for the poor Dao to come and remove this obstacle." Hearing this, the rest of the people stepped back.

The Taoist priest opened his mouth and spewed out a rainbow light, which turned into a diamond-like shape, and then under the infusion of his spiritual power, he drilled forward.

There was a boom, and soon, the rainbow light broke through the stones blocking the road in front of them, and the rest of the people took advantage of the situation to clear the rest, and finally were able to move on.

After another moment, he finally came to the place where Liu Xi was buried.

cleaned up the stones and sediment, but found no trace of Liu Xi, not even the corpse, not even the bones.

"How could it be, could it be that Liu Xi was eaten alive by this person?" The beggar said with some horror.

The rest of the people were taken aback, frightened by this conclusion.

"No, it should be destroyed by this person, but this person underestimated the token on Liu Xi's body." The Taoist priest retrieved the black-and-red token from the ruins, only slightly damaged.

Nothing else was found, but everyone was sure that Liu Xi had indeed been killed and buried here.

The group left the cave and handed the only token left on Liu Xi's body to the middle-aged scribe.

The scribe took the token, looked at the number "forty-two" on it, and said with emotion: "Liu Xi has made a lot of contributions since joining my Shadow Society, and has been promoted to a senior gang with meritorious service, and has also been rewarded and praised by the Lord of Ning Xiang.

The Taoist priest took over and said, "Big brother, why don't we divide our soldiers into two heads, the eldest brother leads a few people to the palace of the Zhou State to find out the truth, and we will go back with Liu Xi's token to restore my life?"

"It's okay, I'm sorry for you, when this matter is understood, I will make a message to the incense master, several of you have also stayed in the intermediate gang for many years, it's time to go further." The scribe patted the Taoist priest on the shoulder and said kindly.

The Taoist priests were originally a little depressed, but their joy was overflowing. Several of them are ranked outside the hundred, and they have accumulated a lot of merits, if they are recommended by others, becoming a high-level gang member is just around the corner.

Then the group of soldiers divided into two ends, the scribe rushed to the territory of Zhou with the merchant, nuns and others, and the Taoist priest and others returned along the way they came.

A month later, the palace of the king of Zhou was slaughtered by a mysterious person, and after the fire was ignited, it burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished, the Son of Heaven and his concubines and others were all killed, and only a few people escaped from the inner chamberlain.

The entire Zhou kingdom began to fall into a state of fragmentation, and the princes and thieves from all walks of life flocked to each other. However, the neighboring countries that have long been coveted around have long been impatient, and have raised troops to crusade against the rebels as an excuse, sent troops to the Zhou State, and finally several major powers joined forces in the capital of the Zhou State, and made a partition treaty, and the Zhou State, which had been established for nearly two hundred years, was divided up by several mortal dynasties such as the Jin State, and has since disappeared in the long river of history.

Although the Xutian Sect got the news, it was busy fighting with the Jade Girl Sect and the Famous Sword Hall at this time, and had no time to take care of the Zhou State, so he could only wait for the opportunity to retaliate after dealing with the battle of the sect.

For these immortals, mortals are like leeks, cut a wave, after a hundred years, another batch will grow, as long as the strength is strong enough, you can continue to cut.

Outside the Dihua Villa, Wang Rui devoted himself to cultivation, and had skillfully used the three major spells of Dao Biao Sword, Thunder Sword and Sword Qi Like Frost, and mastered the hidden attributes of these spells as much as possible.

The world outside the miasma of the mountain villa is very big, and Wang Rui has walked thousands of miles before and after more than a month without being able to find out the boundary, which is really too big.

Sou!

A piercing whistling sound came, and Wang Rui carried the sword box on his back, raised his head, and saw the traces of the transmission note.

The transmission note noticed his position, and immediately pounced, and was pinched by Wang Rui in his hand.

The transmission note from Chen Qi told him an unexpected thing, the mortal dynasty Zhou was destroyed, ostensibly because several neighboring countries sent troops to divide it. However, Chen Qi mentioned that before the Jin State and other countries sent troops, the palace of the king of Zhou was bloodily killed by mysterious forces, which caused the Zhou state to be leaderless and fragmented, and was divided by the powerful country.

Chen Qi also mentioned that the news was from an internal servant of the Zhou Kingdom, who risked his life to find them and tell it. At the beginning, before Zhou Hua left the Zhou Kingdom, she was always concerned about her mother country, so she secretly begged Chen Qi to give her a few special transmission notes, which even mortals could use.

Then she gave these notes to several of the most loyal chamberlains in the palace, in order to use them on the day when the surrounding country was in great trouble, she didn't expect to use them so quickly, but it was still a step too late.

Moreover, there is a distance limit for the transmission note, and it cannot be activated if the distance is too far, and it can only be used if it is at a certain distance.

Several chamberlains who desperately escaped from the Zhou Kingdom roughly knew Zhou Hua's destination, but the difficulties and obstacles in this were far beyond the mortal body that could be crossed. Several attendants fell down on the road one after another, but this last one desperately persevered, but he was trapped in the miasma, and when he was dying, he finally told all the secrets into the transmission note, and then activated.

Fortunately, this time, the distance was not too far, and the transmission note accurately found Chen Qi in the villa.

Now Zhou Hua's mood is very unstable, vowing to return to China to avenge the mother country, the Son of Heaven and others, even the fairy aunt can't persuade him, Chen Qi hopes that Wang Rui will rush back as soon as possible.

After Wang Rui received the transmission note, he thought about it in his heart, and soon had a trace of eyebrows. Zhou Guo will not suffer a catastrophe for no reason, obviously, this is related to the death of Empress Liu Xi, and Wang Rui also understands that when he found the Shadow Society token on Liu Xi's body and learned some primary information about the Shadow Society, he knew that he had encountered quite a tricky matter.

This organization is extremely mysterious, the number of people does not know how many there are, and it lurks in the major immortal sects, not to mention itself, even if the Xutian Sect wants to face this kind of organization, it will seem to be overwhelmed, unless it is the four super sects of the Immortal Dao today, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, the Nine Yang Temple, the Red Maple Valley and the Litian Sect jointly attack, there is hope to eradicate this organization.

However, Zhou Hua is already their friend, and now that his friend is in trouble, it is impossible to stand idly by.

Wang Rui summoned the mother sword and turned into rainbow light, jumped up, and then set up the sword light and flew towards the direction of the villa.

When he entered the village, he saw Chen Fuzhi waiting for him, Chen Qi was not there, and he was probably accompanying Zhou Hua.

"Big brother, how is Zhou Hua doing now?" Wang Rui asked.

Chen Fuzhi just wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that Wang Rui had changed dramatically, the aura on his body was deeper, and the fluctuations of spiritual power were becoming more and more restrained, so he couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, you have improved your cultivation again, you are really envious of the eldest brother."

"Big brother, you're not bad, you're already at the ninth level of Qi training, I estimate that in three years at most, you will be able to advance to the foundation building." Wang Rui comforted that now his cultivation was approaching the middle stage of foundation building, mainly because he had sufficient resources and there were no obstacles in his cultivation.

However, the most troublesome thing is the next step, once he reaches the upper limit of foundation building, whether he can cross this realm and advance to the Jiedan, is what he is most concerned about.

His Huanglong Gong cultivation is only equivalent to the pinnacle of foundation building, and he doesn't have any cognition at all in the subsequent Huayuan period, but he only knows the later realm and so on. If he can advance to the Jiedan this time, maybe he can also make Huang Longgong advance to the Yuan Stage? In that case, Wang Rui couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

Fortunately, he is now very emotionally controlled, and he has suppressed this kind of lofty thoughts.

Chen Fuzhi told him that Zhou Hua's emotions were a little out of control, Chen Qi was difficult to persuade him, and Dihua Fairy Gu was also a little helpless, but she couldn't take her apprentice to seek revenge because of this. The annihilation and change of mortal and secular dynasties, the immortal sect generally cannot interfere, otherwise it will cause public anger, this is a rule that has been determined since the Qi Refiner, and all cultivators must abide by it.

Although Zhou Hua swore that there must be qi refiners involved in this conspiracy to destroy the country, there was no evidence to prove it.

Wang Rui was a little hesitant, he didn't know if he should tell him about the discovery of the Shadow Society, the power of the Shadow Society was definitely not small, and the personnel were lurking in the Immortal Gate, if he said it rashly, the other party would be the people of the Shadow Society, then he and his companions would fall into an extremely dangerous situation. In fact, the demise of the Zhou Kingdom has already put Wang Rui under pressure, and the Shadow Society is avenging Liu Xi, and it is likely that the next step is to find himself.
