"Anyway, for various reasons, our wise and great Sister Ling decided to form a team with us to conquer the Seven Star Gate."

Outside the inn, under Wen Bao's unsurprising gaze, Wang Lu introduced his new companions.

The illegitimate daughter of the leader of the Lingjian Sect, the proprietress of Lingxi Town, the top martial arts master, Miss Feng Chime

The landlady looked disinterested: "Okay, okay, stop playing. Finish your work quickly so I can come back and sleep... Oh, you don't want to run my inn. Now that you have formed a team, what should you do next? Do you have a plan?"

"Of course, the next step is to directly destroy the main altar of the Seven Star Sect, capture the leader, and have him go to Wangjia Village to plead guilty and explain everything to the villagers. Then... it is not up to me to control what the bumpkins in the village want to think.

"

"...Where is the main altar of the Seven Star Sect?"

"how could I know?"

"Damn, you don't know what else to do! I'm going back to sleep!"

"Don't worry, I don't know if I can check it." Wang Lu sneered, "It's easy to follow the clues."

"Where is Vine?"

"Of course it's still the same place, Wangjia Village."

The landlady was surprised: "Didn't you already bring everyone in the village from Qixingmen...?"

"The lotus root is broken and the thread is broken."

"Where did the lotus root come from... Forget it, Wangjia Village, right? It's not far from here, right? Let me state in advance that my ability is only effective in Cangxi Prefecture at most, so..."

"Understood, Cangxi Prefecture's leyline node... Don't worry, I brought you with me to increase our combat power, not to hinder you. The Seven Star Sect is just a low-level sect, and the main altar will not be too far from Wangjia Village."

Wang Lu's so-called disconnection soon opened the eyes of the proprietress and others.

Four days later, a group of people rushed from the foot of Lingjian Mountain to Wangjia Village. That night, under the command of Wang Lu, the proprietress who ran the business with integrity and sincerity did a despicable deed.

They went deep into private houses and kidnapped villagers. In compliance with Wang Lu's instructions, they tied the hostages into rice dumplings with rough-looking hemp ropes. The ropes were tightened so tightly that the man turned red and purple like a roasted lobster.

"...Hey, I think this binding method might kill someone."

Carrying the hostage on his shoulders, he took him all the way to the outside of the village and placed him on the top of Gou'er Mountain. The landlady really didn't understand Wang Lu's plan, so she simply reminded him.

Wang Lu didn't explain much, walked straight to the hostage, took out the rag from his mouth, and then

Snapped!

A slap directly knocked out half a row of teeth, and then Wang Lu said quietly: "If you don't want to die, don't seek death. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I don't really want to kill you, Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu, who was tied up like a lobster man, was filled with panic. It even took him some time to recognize Wang Lu's voice.

"Brother Wang Lu, don't kill me."

The voice was a little leaky and weak.

Wang Lu "I'll ask you a few questions, and I'll let you go after I've asked them."

"……Um."

"Do you know where the main altar of the Seven Star Sect is?"

"No, I don't know. Only my master... who is the four-star messenger is qualified to know the location of the main altar."

"Your master? Who is it?"

"It's He Tan... the monk you killed that day."

"Besides your master, who else do you know in Qixingmen?"

"Zhou Mingrui... is the propaganda ambassador who was killed by you."

"Other than that?"

"I have only been in the industry for a short time, and I really don't know much..." After saying this, Wang Xiaohu was frightened, fearing that because he was ineffective, he would be killed by Wang Lu to vent his anger.

But when he looked sideways, he found that Wang Lu's eyes were as cold as the moon, and his mood did not fluctuate at all.

"Have anyone from the Seven Star Gate come to see you in the past few days?"

"Ah, yes!"

"who?"

"A two-star disciple, whom I didn't recognize, took the initiative to find me and showed me the sect's token." "Then what?"

"He asked me not to act rashly. The sect does not intend to be a direct enemy to you, but we must keep an eye on the situation and notify him if there are any changes."

"How do you do it?"

"I didn't say anything... Some villagers even suggested going to trouble your father, but I tried my best to dissuade them. I..."

"That's enough, where is that contact?"

"He said he would be hiding outside the village for the past few days and practicing with peace of mind. If you want to find him, you need to use a special magic weapon... I hid it at home and only I can find it."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he turned his expectant eyes to Wang Lu. If he could use this as an opportunity to get Wang Lu to let him go...

The landlady asked: "Do you need me to search?"

Wang Lu shook his head: "No need, and it's hard to find it with your intelligence."

Then, Wang Lu took a long breath, and the two hundred and six sword bones trembled under the shining light of the imperial bones, emitting an unusually strong suction force.

With a low-grade Qi training, he used this absorption method again, and his strength was several times higher than a few months ago. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was bound by the huge suction force, and gathered together crazily, forming an invisible stormy wave.

As a Jinchuuriki, Xiao Linger was completely unaware of this, but the two monks beside Wang Lu were horrified, "Senior Brother Wang Lu, this is...!?"

Wen Bao's spiritual practice can be regarded as a great opening and closing, with a huge throughput. However, when breathing in spiritual energy, the maximum range it can affect is ten meters around the body, and the repulsive force of the spiritual energy against him is also very strong.

It's considered good if you can absorb it once from the spiritual energy.

But Wang Lu had just stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a space of more than a hundred meters in radius. The influx of spiritual energy in that moment reminded Wen Bao of the deep meditation of those Jindan masters in the sect!

He is a low-level Qi practitioner, how come he can breathe in and out of spiritual energy so strongly?!

In the eyes of another monk, Wang Xiaohu, this scene shocked him even more, and he almost lost his mind.

Relying on Liuhe San and Pei Ling, he became a peripheral monk of the Seven Star Sect more than two years ago. He practiced hard for more than two years. With the full support of his father, he managed to reach the ninth level of Qi training and learned how to breathe out spiritual energy.

, under full operation, it can attract wisps of spiritual energy into the body, like a trickle. According to the master, this is already a pretty good achievement. If you persevere, you are expected to successfully build the foundation in your lifetime...

However, Wang Lu's throughput in one mouthful just now cannot be matched even if he has practiced hard for two years! Is this... is this a real monk? If all real monks are like this, then what does his hard work in the past two years... mean?

ah!

For a time, I don't know how much sadness and anger welled up in my heart.

But this has nothing to do with Wang Lu. He is breathing out spiritual energy at this time, not to show off how awesome the ethereal root is - in fact, this is a great irony for him. After a massive amount of spiritual energy enters the body, only what is really left is

One percent.

But to take advantage of the drastic changes in spiritual energy to find something.

The natural keen sense of the ethereal root allowed Wang Lu to quickly catch the slightest change in the tide of spiritual energy.

"Yes, come with me."

At the same time, Wei Wenqing, who was hiding in the mountains and forests and practicing his sect's mental methods under the rare bright moonlight, suddenly opened his eyes.

"...It's strange. Is it an illusion? I always feel that the aura has changed?"

For monks with artificial spiritual roots, especially those with low-quality Liuhe spiritual roots, it is extremely difficult to detect the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They perceive and absorb spiritual energy, just like a blind man touching an elephant. It is mostly based on subjective conjecture. It’s just that the changes just now were too drastic.

, no matter how slow your perception is, you will still notice it.

Wei Wenqing thought about it and decided not to take the risk and temporarily stopped meditating. For a peripheral disciple at his level, practicing one more day and one less day really makes no difference.

So...this surveillance mission is really boring.

As a two-star disciple, he didn't know much about Wangjia Village, but he also vaguely knew that this was a place rich in spiritual energy. After the sect accidentally discovered it, it planned to use this place as a key development target. It would be a strategic location for the resurgence of the sect in the future.

It's just that a major accident happened a few days ago. I don't know what it was exactly, but I heard that someone died... Could it be that the strange change in spiritual energy just now was caused by a fellow sect who is determined to die?

Feeling the soft night under the moonlight, Wei Wenqing smiled mockingly to himself. He was a monk after all, so why did he have to scare himself? If he really encountered some kind of kid, he might not be his opponent!

But it’s too boring to wait like this. Why not explore the village at night? Looking at the village from a distance during the day, there are a few village girls who are beautiful and refined. They really don’t look like the best embryos that can be produced in remote mountain villages.

...It's such a pity to make a bunch of rough guys so cheap. It's better to let yourself drink some soup...and also think about the method of dual cultivation! Thinking of this, Wei Wenqing's body suddenly became hot.

However, the next moment, a simple long sword was placed across his neck, which made his whole body tremble, and cold sweat suddenly broke out like a spring.

Then, a ghostly voice sounded from behind: "Ha, I found a trash fish."

They were beaten, kicked, tied up, and tortured to extract confessions. It was horrible to watch.

Through the interrogation of Wei Wenqing, more facts were exposed.

The Seven Star Sect is indeed still reluctant to part with Wangjiacun. For such a low-level sect, the rich spiritual energy of Wangjiacun is a coveted treasure. It is priceless and is really difficult to let go. However, the Seven Star Sect was also frightened by Wang Lu's three kills a few days ago.

I'm brave and don't dare to rush in for a while.

And after hearing that Wang Lu had left a few days ago, the Seven-Star Sect's greed started to stir up again. One of the elders who spent the most effort on Wangjia Village sent several two-star disciples to wander around the village as a lookout.

Unfortunately, this was an arcane move. Instead of playing their due role in sending valuable information back to the Seven Star Sect, these onlookers were caught by Wang Lu and followed the clues.

"Tell me, where is the main altar of your Seven Star Sect?"
