Star Reaching Valley, located in the central and western part of Lu State, is a hidden place filled with heavy fog all year round.

Half a month ago, the Xun Gu Sect received information that witnesses claimed to have seen remnants of the Dai family operating in this area, and the leader among them was a silver-haired old man carrying a pair of halberds.

Among the fires that escaped the Dai family back then, there were only a few that were most iconic: the Dai family genius Dai Vinson who was good at wielding a double axe, the Dai family old man Dai Zonghui who was good at using a double halberd, and several other insignificant remnants of the small group.

.

In the past two years, Dai Vinson, the genius of the Dai family who attracted the most attention, has disappeared, and the three-color Ganoderma lucidum that everyone has been thinking about has disappeared, leaving all the major forces in Western Shandong confused.

After the Dai family was wiped out that day, the Lujiang League went around hunting down the remnants, vowing to eradicate them all.

However, after traveling hundreds of miles south of the Lujiang River, other than finding a large open space in the dense forest that was suspected of being used for a martial arts fight, no key clues were found. It must have been artificially erased.

All major sects invited tracking experts, and after analysis, they came to the unanimous conclusion that this large open space in the dense forest was most likely caused by monks in the foundation-building period using small magical powers to clear the place.

It was probably Dai Vinson, the genius of the Dai family, who was being hunted. He had no choice but to use the Dai family's secret skill, the small magical power of gold and stone, to kill the enemy with difficulty. Then he cleaned up the scene and continued to escape south.

Later, the Lujiang League began to vigorously pursue southward, and other sects and aristocratic families in Luxi also secretly sent people there. All the forces wanted to take the opportunity to seize Davidson and seize the three-color Ganoderma lucidum.

After all, this is a spiritual creature from heaven and earth that assists in condensing the golden elixir! There is no force that doesn’t want to have more golden elixir masters in its family.

It's just that news always spreads quickly. The intelligence personnel from the Lujiang River Basin moved south in large numbers, which soon aroused the vigilance of the major cultivation forces in the southwestern part of the Lu State and the Mekong Delta.

After understanding the cause and effect and the inside story, the cultivation world in southwestern Shandong was also in a state of excitement. Everyone began to search vigorously, searching for the whereabouts of Devinson while blocking the cross-border forces of Shandong Province.

When obstructing, chaos was also added. Some forces fanned the flames, so they created suspicions and forged traces of where Davinson had been, causing everyone to wander around all day long.

But in fact, Dai Wensen died a long time ago, and the three-color Ganoderma lucidum was plucked by Linshan, and is currently in seclusion in Tianfu Mountain. Those people can only fight wits and courage with the air. Apart from internal strife, they are destined to not even find a hair.

Just when everyone was focusing most of their attention and energy on the whereabouts of Davidson in the south, Dai Zonghui, the elder of the Dai family, was extremely active in the central and western regions of Lu.

Within two years, he showed up no less than ten times, maybe because he wanted to convey some news to Davinson, or maybe he wanted to attract the attention of major forces and share some pressure on Davinson.

However, although the major forces were also interested in the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body", the temptation of the three-color Ganoderma lucidum was greater, so they only turned to some insignificant intelligence forces to simply hunt him down.

Dai Zonghui, the elder of the Dai family, has rich experience and is as slippery as a loach. He can always escape by twisting and turning, making his pursuers itch with hatred.

As time went by, all the major forces slacked off. Instead, all kinds of rumors and information from Southwest Shandong were flying all over the sky and became more and more intense. Therefore, the attention paid to him dropped again and again. Only the Xun Gu Sect in Tianfu Mountain never gave up.

tracking him.

This time, Dai Zonghui changed his hiding place again and came to Star Reaching Valley, where he was immediately discovered by the intelligence personnel of Xun Gu Sect.

This place is located in the central and western part of Lu State. For the Lujiang River Basin, Tianfu Mountain is relatively close. It can be said that those closest to the water come first.

Because Yu Jiaoniang had become the concubine of the Black Skull Demon Lord, she quickly became the leader of the Intelligence Hall by virtue of this relationship. When she got the information, she immediately reported it and received instructions.

The Black Skull Demon Lord wants to refine the soul source. At the same time, as the only Jindan Daoist in the sect, he naturally has to sit in charge of the sect under normal circumstances. There is no need to do everything by himself, otherwise what will he do with a large group of subordinates?

?

So I left this matter to Mu Yan, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Mu Yan originally wanted to go there in person, but the group of new monks in the foundation-building stage all realized that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so they rushed to take over the job.

Gao Daoda usually flatters Mu Yan and flatters Mu Yan very well. He easily got this task and got the information collected by the Xun Gu Sect.

…

"clatter..."

"clatter..."

"clatter..."

At the entrance of Star Reaching Valley, a thick white fog filled the air, and I couldn't see my fingers. I could only feel the sound of footsteps approaching, and a black shadow that resembled a lake stopped next to it.

Gao Daoda, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up, his whole body tense and on high alert, and asked softly:

"Is the person here Lao Mo?"

The dark figure opposite was silent for a while, but then he laughed:

"You are so tall and powerful. I have been chasing you for a whole ten years. I actually got close to such a thick leg of the Xun Gu Sect. You are indeed very capable. I was wrong about it before!"

Judging from his tone, it seemed that he was Gao Daoda's former rival, the late-stage foundation-building casual cultivator who was chasing him.

Later, after Gao Daoda successfully settled in Tianfu Mountain, he disappeared without further investigation. Unexpectedly, Gao Daoda took the initiative to invite me here today.

When Gao Daoda saw that the other party did not take action immediately, but instead said this, he let go of most of his worries and gradually became more relaxed:

"Old Mo, there was a misunderstanding between us, and there is no unsolvable grudge. Now that I have a backer, you can't pursue me as openly as before. Why not turn the conflict into friendship and get back together like the past?"

The black figure named Lao Mo couldn't help but twitch after hearing this.

"Then you first pay me back the spiritual stones you owed me before!"

Gao Dada helplessly stretched out his hands, indicating that his hands were empty:

"I don't have the money to pay you back now. After I gain a foothold in the Xun Gu Sect and gain recognition from the leader, I will apply for an official position with the Lin Chamber of Commerce and give full play to my fish selling skills in the seafood and aquatic products industry.

I will definitely pay you back when I get rich, how about I owe you now?"

Lao Mo couldn't help but angrily scolded him in a low voice: "You old bastard! You owe me a full forty years for just eight hundred spirit stones! How long are you going to delay it?"

Gao Daoda became angry after hearing this and couldn't help but reply:

"You also know that it was originally just eight hundred spiritual stones? If it were only this, I would have returned it long ago!

In the past forty years, you have forced me to get a piece of spiritual stone out of nothing, how the hell do you expect me to pay it back???"

After a disagreement, Lao Mo took out the abacus from his storage bag and flicked the beads:

"No, you said it was less. According to the interest rate of 10% a year, this year is the 41st year. You need to return the spiritual stone..."

"I#****%&*"

He was so high-spirited that he almost went crazy. If it hadn't been for this damn loan shark, he would have become bigger and stronger by selling fish!

You must know that the consensus in the cultivation world is that any interest rate exceeding 8% can be regarded as usury. Because the spirit stone is created by heaven and earth, it is different from artificial printing of money. It is not that you can print as much as you want, but

It’s God who rewards us with food.

Otherwise, the professionalism of raising and selling fish since childhood might be able to reach the scale of Lin's Chamber of Commerce now!

The key is that since he has been hunted everywhere ten years ago, he has no time to do business. He was really forced to have no other choice, so he went to Xungu Cult to worship the mountain.

Rather than being a bitch for others, it would be better to be a free and independent cultivator, selling fish and catching fish all day long. Wouldn’t that be a pleasant life?

Lao Mo had no expression on his face, just hiding in the white fog, quietly waiting for his answer.

Gao Daoda took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood. He knew that as long as he could complete his errands this time and help the leader get back the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body", he would be appreciated, and he would become a winner in life from then on.

The more critical this moment is, the more external help is needed. First, stabilize the person in front of you and become your own thug.

"Old Mo, you also know that there are close to 40,000 spirit stones, and I can't get them out at all now. If I really want to default on my debt, you, a general lending organization in the cultivation world, will also use Lujiang Alliance like our Xun Gu Sect.

The powerful forces within have no recourse.

In this case, why don't we sit down and talk about cooperation first?

As long as you can help me, I can also help you after I climb to a high position in the church. Isn't this a mutually beneficial business?"

…

The two argued for a while, and it seemed that under the current circumstances, Lao Mo really couldn't do anything to get bigger. After all, this guy had a backer, and his small lending organization couldn't continue to press for debts.

After thinking for a long time, the black figure raised his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"This time Star Reaching Valley asks me to take action. I will help you kill one person with one high-level magic weapon, two with two, three with three... There is no upper limit."

Gao Daoda hesitated slightly: "Let's not talk about how precious the high-level magic weapon is. I don't have that much to pay you. Just the remnants of the Dai family hidden in the valley ahead. According to the Xun Gu Sect's information, there are five architects.

Jishi monk, all the wealth gained from killing these five people, isn’t it all yours?

As long as you keep the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body Art" designated by our leader, I won't take anything else, isn't that enough?"

Lao Mo shook his head firmly and claimed that one code equals another, and if you ask him to take action, you will have to pay for it, and the spoils afterwards will be discussed separately.

A look of struggle flashed through Gao Daoda's eyes. He thought that since he defected to the Xun Gu Sect, the leader and deputy leader had been in seclusion all day long. He had no way of contacting anyone, let alone flattering them.

The senior leaders in the church, such as Lu Xiuming from the Internal Affairs Hall and Master Zhan Kong, are all good people and do not accept his flattery.

Only the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Mu Yan, although he was young and energetic and had great success, was not that easy to do. He had to waste all his efforts to get this hard-won job.

As long as you can do this job well, becoming a successful person is not a dream!

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

Gao Daoda made up his mind and looked up at him again: "Among the remnants of the Dai family in the valley, there are five foundation-building monks. How many can you deal with?"

Old Mo smiled coldly and arrogantly, and just waved his arm casually. Hundreds of black figures immediately appeared behind him, including two that exuded the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They all seemed to be his subordinates.

"You can rest assured on this. I'll have no problem with one-on-two. It's up to you to contain the rest. Once I deal with the enemy in front of me and free up my hands, no one from the Dai family can escape!"

Gao Daoda was secretly shocked. The scale of Lao Mo's organization was not small. He actually gathered two casual cultivators in the foundation building stage, and with the hundreds of Qi training stage cultivators behind him, he was indeed qualified to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Dai family.

"I heard that Dai Zonghui, the elder of the Dai family, is good at using two halberds. He is powerful and heavy, and he can shoot rocks and swallow feathers with ease. Never underestimate the enemy."

Lao Mo sneered contemptuously. Not only did he not take it seriously, but he felt that trying to be big was too cautious. With a personality like this, do you still want to be big in the future?

…

In Star Reaching Valley, dozens of Dai family members gathered together, each with injuries and mental distress.
