Chapter 204: Secret rift arises (two chapters in one)
Liu Yu and others who were already standing on the deck jumped off, and then the city guards led by Yue Liang also got off the flying boat one after another.
Then Li Buping used several spells to hit the control token, and the huge Guiyuan Zhou gradually shrank, becoming small and delicate enough to be held in the palm of his hand, and was finally put into his storage bag.
Yue Liang commanded the city guards to stand in orderly groups, and then quickly walked over to several foundation building deacons, waiting for instructions.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with the city guard for the time being."
"Nephew Yue, you can go down with the city guards to recover."
Yan Hongyu glanced at him and commanded calmly.
"yes."
Yue Liang responded respectfully and walked towards the team.
Afterwards, Liu Yu, Yan Hongyu, Li Bu and other foundation-building monks nodded to each other, walked through the city gate and walked straight towards the city lord's palace.
Several people had a clear purpose. At this time, they all wanted to return to the Presbyterian Council as soon as possible and then go about their own affairs, so they walked quickly and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in a short while.
The intervals between tasks in the foundation-building period are relatively long. Even during a war, it is normal to release them once every ten days and a half, and generally they cannot be completed in a short time.
It is very rare for Liu Yu's task of eliminating rebels to be completed in just a few days.
It was still the side hall dedicated to receiving Foundation Establishment monks, and there was not a single Foundation Establishment monk in the hall.
There were only two good-looking female disciples in the Qi refining stage, standing against the counter, chatting listlessly.
The two women suddenly saw several Masters in the Foundation Establishment Stage walking into the hall. They immediately cheered up and stood upright. One of the women said:
"See you fellow masters. I wonder if they have any instructions. Disciples will go and do it right away."
Both of these two female disciples have excellent looks and figures, but for male cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, it is not easy to find a few good-looking female disciples.
Under normal circumstances, I might have thought of joking with him, but now that I had just returned from a mission, I was not that "elegant", not to mention that I still had to maintain some dignity in front of everyone.
"There's nothing wrong with you two. Go and notify Senior Sister Wu Yuhan."
Before anyone else could speak, Xie Junjie said impatiently.
"Yes, disciple, go and notify Master Wu now!"
The two women responded in low voices, and the female disciple who spoke first immediately walked quickly to the back hall, while the other female disciple stood nearby, waiting for instructions at any time.
She kept smiling and stood not far from the foundation-building uncles like a mascot, not daring to speak casually for fear of saying something wrong.
"Junior Brother Liu, have you been to Miaoweizhai in the city?"
"Let me tell you, the taste of the snow-glazed arowana in Miaoweizhai is really unique. I still remember it fresh in my memory after I tasted it last time. Now I think about it and it makes me salivate."
"How about it? After we report the mission later, how about we go try it?"
"Don't worry, my brother has gained a lot from this trip. He has made a small fortune, so I will be the host."
"How about a banquet for Junior Brother Liu?"
Suddenly, Xie Junjie approached Liu Yu, with a warm smile on his face, and whispered.
Cultivation of immortality is never done behind closed doors, it is also about human nature.
He saw that Liu Yu was quite generous in his actions, had successfully built a foundation at a young age, and had made some achievements in alchemy. More importantly, he seemed to be very close to Yan Hongyu, and he wanted to make friends with her.
In fact, Xie Junjie wanted to make friends with Yan Hongyu and climb the big tree of the Yan family, but Yan Hongyu ignored him, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
Liu Yu originally had no friendship with Xie Junjie, but they didn't know each other until they were on this mission. Regarding his sudden enthusiasm, his first reaction was not happiness, but deep vigilance.
"Well, thank you for your kindness, senior brother, but I'm very sorry."
"Liu has an important matter to deal with urgently, so I can't accompany him."
"Liu, the famous name of Miaoweizhai, also heard about it and wanted to try it."
"Next time I have a chance, I will definitely take the initiative to host a banquet to thank you, senior brother."
Liu Yu said politely, his tone was very calm, but there was a sense of alienation in it.
Almost without thinking, he made up a random reason and declined politely without offending anyone.
In his opinion, this person's strength is mediocre, and no matter what his intentions are, he is not worth wasting his time and making excuses.
As for Xie Junjie's calling him brother or brother, it was even ignored. The relationship between the two was not that close.
"Haha, since Junior Brother Liu has important matters to deal with, I can't force him."
"If you have time, junior brother, you can contact me at any time!"
When Xie Junjie heard this, his smiling face suddenly froze, but he still managed to smile.
He heard the meaning of Liu Yu's words, and saw a trace of shame and annoyance flashing in his eyes when his good intentions were ignored.
From Xie Junjie's point of view, he should be flattered when he, a monk in the middle of the Foundation Establishment period, puts down his dignity to make friends with a new Foundation Establishment monk.
Unexpectedly, a hot face was pressed against a cold butt, which made him very angry. He secretly scolded her for being ignorant, and at the same time, he felt disgusted with Liu Yu.
However, Xie Junjie was not a brainless person. He did not show it on the spot. He still kept a smile on his face and chatted for a few words before remaining silent.
Liu Yu glanced at him lightly, recalling this person's past and no longer taking it to heart.
Nearly twenty years have passed since he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage. He already has a sufficient understanding of this realm, and has a clear judgment on the strength of each small realm in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and knows where his own strength lies.
The top ones are undoubtedly the "Three Heroes and Four Heroes", the "Six Sons of Hehuan" and the like. There is a huge gap between ordinary monks, followed by the ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks.
Liu Yuzhi's strength at this time is only slightly weaker than that in the later stage of Foundation Establishment. His strength has been greatly improved compared to the past, so he naturally does not take ordinary Foundation Establishment monks seriously.
If you offend someone, you will be offended. If it offends you, the worst thing you can do is try to kill him.
The two of them seemed to be having a normal relationship with each other as fellow disciples. The other fellow Foundation Establishment disciples were also chatting with familiar people and did not pay too much attention to them.
Only Yan Hongyu glanced here twice, but she didn't pay too much attention.
After about half a quarter of time, Wu Yuhan finally arrived at the side hall, and the female disciple who informed her followed closely behind.
"Junior brothers and sisters, you are back so soon, so the mission must have gone very smoothly, right?"
Wu Yuhan walked not far away from everyone, raised her hand gently and smiled.
Although she was asking, her tone was extremely certain. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was very obvious, and she caught the other side off guard.
"No, no, Senior Sister Wu is so complimentary. It's all arranged well by the Presbyterian Council."
Everyone bowed their hands in return, and Yan Hongyu replied skillfully.
"Elder Yan will meet you in the main hall and ask about the status of the mission."
"Everyone knows the location of the main hall. Junior brothers and sisters can go there on your own. I still have things to deal with, so I won't lead the way."
Without too many polite words, after asking a few questions about the trip, Wu Yuhan spoke concisely and to the point.
"Then I won't disturb Senior Sister Wu and take my leave!"
Yan Hongyu said.
Then Liu Yu, Li Butong and others turned around and left the side hall and walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
He was about to meet Elder Jindan again. Although it was not the first time, Liu Yu was still a little uneasy deep down.
Although his strength has improved a lot, the Jindan monk can still easily kill him.
On the surface, he remained calm, but secretly he was using all his strength to control his spiritual power, control the fluctuations of his spiritual pressure and mana, and maintain the progress and level of a normal monk.
When Liu Yu, Yan Hongyu, Li Bong and other eight foundation-building monks who carried out this mission rushed to the main hall of the city lord's palace, an old man was already sitting on the three grand master's chairs on the nine-story small steps in the center of the hall.
The old man had a strong build, with mixed black and white hair, his eyes were shining, and the aura around him was unfathomable to Liu Yu and others.
It is Elder Yan!
"Disciple Liu Yu (Yan Hongyu, Li Butong...), pay homage to Elder Yan!"
Liu Yu and other foundation-building monks bent down and bowed their hands in salute, then spoke, and then waited quietly for the elder to speak.
"Well~, fellow apprentice nephews, there is no need to be polite,"
After a while, Elder Yan's majestic voice came, and at the same time one of his arms was slightly raised.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu and others put away their courtesy and stood up straight.
"Did this mission go smoothly? How was the situation? Have the Huang family been wiped out?"
"Master Nephew Li, Hong Yu, you two will explain the situation to me in detail."
Elder Yan turned his eyes, fell on the two team leaders in the late stage of foundation building, and said calmly.
"Back to Master, everything goes well on this trip."
"Everyone in the Huang family has been put to death, and all the immortal cultivators and mortals have been killed."
"Except for monks and mortals who are away for various reasons, there is no one named Huang near Tianyong Mountain."
"Those who have slipped through the net have notified the City Lord's Mansion. Senior Sister Wu has arranged for people to eradicate the weeds. Good news will come soon."
Li BuTong showed no stage fright and answered loudly.
His words were neither hurried nor slow, and his words were clear and coherent. It was obvious that he had already prepared a draft.
