"Qiu Shanqun has so many tricks up his sleeve. If he hadn't sent you here, but instead had found someone from the Law Enforcement Hall, he would have definitely deceived me."
Lu Chen smiled coldly, Du Zhiping's explanation was actually among his guesses, and now it was officially confirmed.
The Great Elder, the leader of the Alchemy Hall, and the leader of the Dharma Protector Hall are all powerful figures in important departments of the Alchemy Sect. It is really complicated that they would do so many things just to deceive him.
If it wasn't for the power of the Alchemy Sect's Protector Hall, he wouldn't be too lazy to go back to the Alchemy Sect and not want to play with those insidious characters.
In fact, there is nothing fun, and he is not interested in playing with those people. Only when he is weak will he accompany others to play intrigues.
His fighting power is already so great that he can sweep through the entire Immortal King Tower. Is it wrong to still play tricks on others?
With his current combat power, there is only one crude way to deal with the insidious person: if he disagrees with you, just click!
But if the three top leaders of the Dan Sect were knocked together, the Dan Sect would definitely be in chaos and even alarm the head of the Dan Sect.
By then, no one from the Dan Sect will support him, nor will the leader of the Dan Sect. He will most likely be regarded as a traitor by the Dan Sect, and he will no longer be able to use the power of the Dan Sect.
Therefore, he already had an idea in his mind and knew what to do.
The great elder was deceived, and he is still a pure alchemy cultivator. If you can, don't care about it.
Qiu Shanqun is the mastermind, and he must not be let go. Any revenge must be avenged.
But Qiu Shanqun is also a pure alchemist, and his alchemy status is two levels lower than him. He has 10,000 ways to defeat Qiu Shanqun. To take revenge on such a weak person, he does not necessarily have to kill him.
As for the leader of the Dharma Protector Hall, the guy named Cao Tiancheng, he must be killed.
Senior figures such as the leader of the Dharma Protector Hall and all senior Dharma Protectors have other important tasks and are generally not in the Alchemy Sect.
There is only an intermediate guardian force in the Danzong's guardian hall, and Cao Tiancheng is only the temporary leader.
This guy can only be considered a middle-level person in the Protector Hall, not even a high-level person. He is still going against Lu Chen. If not him, who can he kill?
Moreover, if Lu Chen wants the power of the Dharma Protector Hall, Cao Tiancheng will inevitably become the first obstacle and must die.
"This was Qiu Shanqun's mistake. Mr. Lu saw it through. Mr. Lu is so good."
Du Zhiping was so eager to survive that he even called Lu Chen "sir".
"By the way, after Qiu Shanqun and Cao Tiancheng deceived me into going back, how will they deal with me?"
Lu Chen looked at Du Zhiping and said, "They are not fools, they should know that no one in Danzong is my opponent."
"So, the Dharma Protector Hall mobilized all its forces to ambush inside the Dan Sect. As long as you enter the Dan Sect, you will be captured immediately!"
Du Zhiping added, "Your combat power is very strong, but no matter how strong you are, there is an upper limit. You can't defeat five thousand intermediate guardians."
"That's it, okay then, just pretend that I can't beat them and get caught by them."
Lu Chen smiled, then looked at Du Zhiping and asked, "Then, Qiu Shanqun will kill me?"
"No, Qiu Shanqun doesn't want to kill you, and he doesn't dare to openly kill a ninth-level supreme elixir, but he has prepared a sharp poisonous elixir that can seal your immortal essence, preventing you from using your power and turning you into a
Pure alchemy!"
"After you lose your fighting power, you will be slaughtered by others. Qiu Shan will stuff you into the alchemy hall. If you, the ninth-level supreme alchemy immortal, are qualified enough to take his place, he can escape from the alchemy hall.
He has always wanted to leave the Alchemy Hall."
"When the sect master comes back and sees the established facts, he has no choice but to confirm your position in the alchemy hall. From now on, you can only stay in the alchemy hall forever to make alchemy."
Du Zhiping glanced at Lu Chen and explained one more thing, "Qiu Shanqun spent many months preparing that poison pill, so he delayed it until now to trick you into returning to the Pill Sect."
"Wow, this guy's methods are amazing and insidious. It's admirable!"
Lu Chen gasped and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, sighing that Qiu Shanqun was the real villain.
Of course, knowing the content of Qiu Shanqun's plan, he naturally had a plan in mind to deal with it.
In fact, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just clouds and can be exposed at a glance!
But he is now a mid-stage Immortal King. Not to mention five thousand intermediate guardians, even ten thousand intermediate guardians cannot stop him. This is absolute strength.
As for the sharp poison pill...
That's even more frustrating. He has poisonous dragon veins to protect his body and is immune to all poisons!
"I...I told everything I know truthfully. Sir, please let me live."
Du Zhiping said tremblingly.
"Can!"
Lu Chen nodded.
"Thank you, sir!"
Du Zhiping was overjoyed and turned around to leave, but he noticed a sharp force coming from behind.
"Sneak attack..."
Du Zhiping was shocked and hurriedly turned around to block. As expected, he saw Lu Chen reaching out to grab him.
Bang!
It was too late, but it was too late. Du Zhiping blocked Lu Chen's grip with his backhand, and the two forces collided and made an explosion.
The sudden and unexpected confrontation caused the strength of both sides to collapse. Du Zhiping remained motionless, but Lu Chen was knocked back a few steps.
"Lu Chen, you said you would let me live, why did you go back on your promise?"
Du Zhiping asked angrily.
"I said I would let you live, but I didn't say I would let you escape unscathed. You have to leave something behind. You don't even understand this, do you?"
Lu Chen said.
"What do you want me to keep?"
Du Zhiping frowned and asked again, "A hand or a leg, I can keep any of these!"
"My arms and legs are gone, but they can still grow back. Why do I want you to keep these things?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"Could it be that you want my head?"
Du Zhiping's frown deepened. He seriously suspected that Lu Chen had murderous intentions against him and had no intention of letting him go.
Even if he is an Immortal King, if his head falls off, his body will die.
If Lu Chen wanted to kill him and silence him, he would not only destroy his physical body, but also his soul.
"Your head is worthless, I'm not interested!"
Lu Chen said.
"Then what exactly do you want me to keep?"
Du Zhiping's brows were already furrowed. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Lu Chen wanted him to keep.
"Spiritual roots!"
Lu Chen said calmly.
"You want to destroy me, you can't!"
At that moment, Du Zhiping's expression changed.
If Lu Chen takes away his spiritual roots, his cultivation will be ruined!
Even if he is a top Immortal King, if his spiritual root is gone, his soul will disappear with it, and there will be no chance to reshape his physical body.
"Either a useless person or a dead person, you choose whichever one you want."
Lu Chen raised his fist, aimed at Du Zhiping, and said, "Don't even think about running. My speed is faster than yours. If you run, you will choose to die!"
Before, he just stretched out his hand to grab Du Zhiping, but his grip was not very good, so Du Zhiping had the strength to block.
But now he wants to use the World-Destroying Fist, which is not something Du Zhiping can handle.
