Chapter 40: Evil Cultivator Long Zhao
Every ten years, Yuan County will pay taxes, and this time is no exception, and it is not exempted because Yuan County was attacked by demon beasts, and Yuan County has no opinion on this, after all, the taxes that need to be paid this time were set ten years ago, and Yuan County has long been prepared.
And the invasion of demon beasts is also happening right now, even if there is consumption, it is not a reason to be exempt from taxes, the most important thing is that Yuanjun is now taxing with weapons, and these taxes can still be paid.
When the two evil cults were rampant, in order to be safe enough, Yuan Dian decided to take advantage of the ongoing war to pay taxes secretly, so as to avoid danger to the greatest extent.
However, under the instruction of Yuan Dian, the county guard of Yuanjun, who has its own secret purpose, inadvertently spread a message that Yuanjun has prepared to pay taxes, including various cultivation resources and immortal stones, and will take advantage of the war to escort the Fengzhou household department through secret means, and then hand it over to the Qingyuan Immortal Realm.
There are very few people who know this news, but the evil cultivator Long Zhao is one of them, and this news was heard from the county guard at a huge cost, but he doesn't know the specific time of handing it over.
Outsiders all know that Long Zhao is a money-hungry, lustful, and notorious evil cultivator, but they rarely know that Long Zhao is actually a gang that steals and robs, but only the leader Long Zhao shows his prestige outside, and the other members are unknown to anyone.
In fact, there are six people in Long Zhao's group, except for Long Zhao, who is an earth immortal level monk, the second eldest in the gang is also a cultivator with an earth immortal level, and the other four are all powerful mortal immortal late stage cultivators.
Normally, only the leader Long Zhao is exposed, and while committing the crime, he is also covering for the other five brothers, while the other five are quietly hiding in the shadows as a loose cultivator to peep at all kinds of news. Pick a robbery target, and once it's confirmed, the six will go out together. Never missed.
Long Zhao's notoriety provided a good cover for his five brothers, which was also the biggest reason why Long Zhao was able to succeed for evil.
As you can imagine. When outsiders thought that Long Zhao was only one person and took precautions against him, they suddenly found that there were five other powerful helpers, and the result could be imagined.
Since coming to Yuanjun, taking advantage of Yuanjun's focus on dealing with demon beasts, Long Zhao has been looking for a big target to rob once, and even chose a few sects that are not weak as targets, but before they could do it, there was a merger between the various sects first.
Their alternate goal is to be annexed, knowing the outcome. They could only give up, but at this time, the third child in the gang came with the news that it was time for the Yuanjun County Guard to pay the taxes, and after receiving this news, Long Zhao keenly seized a glimmer of opportunity.
Immediately, he transferred all the other five people back to his side, and began to prepare for the Yuanjun tax.
The hard work paid off, and after all kinds of open and secret investigations, Long Zhao's brothers finally found out the news about the taxes paid by Yuanjun with great difficulty. Except for not knowing the specific time of the departure of the monks who paid the taxes, all the people who should be inquired about were clear.
On this day, Yuan Dian took Wu Xuan and Zhao Ben straight out of the county guard's mansion, and then walked along the official road. Long Zhao and the others had already noticed, but did not follow, and then. Ten officials of the county guard at the level of immortals, in groups of two and two. At the same time, he left the county guard's mansion, and Long Zhao immediately arranged for five brothers to follow him.
Eventually, one of the brothers came with the news. It was said that two of them entered the official road connecting Yuan County and Chu County, and after getting the news, Long Zhao immediately contacted the other four people and rushed to the junction of Yuan County and Chu County first.
At this moment, the six of them were hiding in the shadows, and what they saw was the scene where the two monks handed over the storage bracelet to Yuan Dian.
"Big brother, that young man is Yuan Dian, the county guard of Yuanjun, the one on his left is named Wu Xuan, he is a six-quenching senior treasure weapon master in Yingyue Lake, the main person in charge of the Yuanjun Weapons Department, I found this person's brother in the name of repairing weapons, and I came into contact with this person through his brother's recommendation, and paid a great price to gain his trust, and all the news was obtained from him. The six of them were hidden in the shadows, and the third in the gang motioned to Yuan Dian, Wu Xuan, and Zhao Ben with their eyes to introduce Long Zhao.
In the gang, the six people have their own division of labor, and the third is mainly responsible for finding out the news, since the formation of this gang, because the third is clever, and he has never missed a trick that can spy on people's psychology to distinguish the truth of words, so the entire gang is naturally extremely trusting in the information it provides.
However, I have to say that this third is sad, even the news that Wu Xuan has advanced to the early stage of the Seven Quenching Immortal Weapon Master has not been investigated, how can he get the accuracy of those news.
The reason why this is so is because when the instrument department was established, Yuan Dian issued a strict order to keep it secret, and the news of the instrument department can be spread outside, but the refining content and the advanced level of the refiner taught by Yuan Dian are not allowed to be passed on casually, so now the entire Yuan County knows the existence of the instrument department, but there are not many people who know the level and level of the refiner in the instrument department.
In this way, the accuracy of the third child who paid a huge price to get those news from Wu Xuan can be seen.
After listening to the words of the third child, Long Zhao, who had a fierce face, glanced at the two huge storage bracelets in Yuan Dian's hands, and then looked at Wei Xiao on the other side, and made a decision in an instant: "Brothers, we only have a moment of time, and after a moment of time, regardless of whether we succeed or not, we will immediately enter through Wei Xiao and enter Chu County, and then withdraw from Fengzhou according to our previous plan." ”
"Ordered. When the five of them heard Long Zhao's words, they all responded.
Although according to various sources, the high-level combat power in Yuanjun, the monks at the level of earth immortals have all rushed to the front line of the battle against demon beasts, but no one can guarantee that Yuanjun has any followers left, which is also the main reason why he has been unwilling to do it in Yuanjun.
Moreover, plotting against the taxes paid by Yuanjun is different from robbing a small sect or killing a few mortals, which is equivalent to challenging the entire official and challenging the entire Qingyuan Immortal Realm, which is bound to provoke a strong official reaction, at least the entire Fengzhou will immediately take action to hunt them down with all their might, so it is their best choice to leave Fengzhou immediately after the move.
On the other side, after taking the refining storage bracelets handed over by the two Returning Immortal level monks and looking left and right, Yuan Dian was also very satisfied, and was just about to take the two storage bracelets into his arms and move towards Chu County, but suddenly saw six monks with murderous faces holding weapons in their hands and galloping in the direction where he was.
"It's not good, it's the evil cultivator Long Zhao, how can he have so many people to escape, flee immediately. Seeing the appearance of the six Long Zhao, Yuan Dian also exclaimed.
Then Yuan Dian made a surprising move, and put the two storage bracelets in his hand on the ground, and then quickly retreated with Wu Xuan and Zhao Ben, and the two officials of the county guard government at the level of returning to the immortal were also shocked, and they all fled with a stream of urine.
Not only them, after the six of Long Zhao appeared and saw Long Zhao's face clearly, the low-level monks stationed in the guard all threw their weapons, and they didn't even dare to run for their lives, so they directly lay down on the spot and prostrate there, trembling all around, as for some mortals in the guard, seeing this situation, like those low-level monks, they didn't dare to raise their heads when they were prostrate on the ground.
"This ...... What's going on?" Yuan Dian and the others made such a scene, which made Long Zhao and the six people a little dumbfounded.
Since they became robbers and evil cultivators who do all kinds of evil, they have naturally encountered this kind of situation when they see them running away when they have committed countless crimes, but the other party is the county guard of Yuanjun, and what he is holding in his hand is the tax that Yuanjun needs to pay, and the loss of taxes The county guard of Yuanjun also has an unshirkable responsibility, so it is reasonable that the other party should not react like this!
Being able to become an evil cultivator thief with a great reputation, Long Zhao was naturally not an ordinary person, and almost instantly thought that this was a trap, and immediately reminded the five brothers: "Be careful." ”
In an instant, the six of them were all concentrating on guarding with all their might, and at the same time, they exuded their divine senses, each responsible for one direction, and began to search for clues, ready to flee as soon as there was any trouble.
However, after a search, except for Yuan Dian and the others, who felt that they were still running away from the thousands of feet, they did not find any danger, which couldn't help but make the six of them a little puzzled.
Faced with this situation, Lao Wu, who had a somewhat rough personality, took the lead in retracting his divine sense of exploration, and said to Long Zhao: "Big brother, there is no danger! I estimate that this time we encountered a soft egg, seeing your appearance, I was directly frightened, and in order to save my life, those taxes are still here." ”
"There is some truth in what Lao Wu said, it's not that the county guard of Yuanjun is a monk who has just risen from the lower realm, and he doesn't have much combat power, and since he settled in Yuanjun, he hasn't shown up much, and he knows all day long that he has been blindly retreating and cultivating, and this time it was a major event that caused a demon beast to make a rebellion. The fourth child also agreed.
"That's definitely the case, the monks of the lower domain can fly to the upper domain to become immortal-level existences, but they are all life-sparing, throwing down this resource is definitely to save their lives, this kid is good, he knows how to do it, so we will laugh and accept it." ”
Hearing that the fourth child recognized his guess, the fifth child laughed again and said his guess, and at the same time, he flipped his wrist and grabbed the two storage bracelets in his hands.
I always felt that something was wrong, and when I saw that Lao Wu suddenly grabbed the two storage bracelets, Long Zhao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly shouted: "Lao Wu, don't go and get ......"
But this shout was a little late, and when the voice was halfway through, there was a 'bang', and the two bracelets of the fifth child exploded at the same time. (To be continued.) )
