Volume 3, Chapter 13 [The Wrath of the Shadow Society]
While Wang Rui was practicing, from a corner of the vast and barren mountains in the southern part of the Jin Kingdom, several rainbow lights flew from the sky, then got closer and closer, and finally descended, arriving in front of a collapsed mountain. Seven or eight men and women jumped down
, all dressed in mortal attire.
These people don't have any uniform clothes, and they dress very mixedly. Some are merchants, some are beggars, there are also monks, nuns, Taoist priests, salesmen, etc.
The leading man was a middle-aged scribe, holding a folding fan in his hand. At this time, he took out a compass-like thing from his arms, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, it is right here, you guys."
Clean these up quickly."
The others clasped their fists in agreement, and then used their own methods to move the stones in front of them. After about half a day's work, after the scattered stones were removed, a cave entrance appeared.
"Liu Xi is a middle-ranking member of our society. Over the past twenty years, he has worked hard and made a lot of achievements. He cannot die without knowing it. This person is so bold that he dares to challenge our shadow society. He will not be let go." The middle-aged scribe said on the side.
Shaking the paper fan, he said seriously, and the Taoist priests and nuns next to him nodded in agreement.
Soon, the Taoist priest took the lead and led the nuns, businessmen, and beggars in to explore, while the scribes and others stayed outside to wait.
It was pitch dark inside the cave entrance, but the nun flicked his sleeves and a magic weapon flew out. The brilliance bloomed, and the surrounding area suddenly became bright.
After walking for a while, the front was blocked by collapsed rocks again, but the cramped environment at this time was obviously not suitable for moving again.
"Several fellow Taoists step back and wait for the poor Taoist to come and clear this obstacle." After hearing this, the others all stepped back.
The Taoist priest opened his mouth and spit out a stream of rainbow light. The rainbow light turned into a drill-like shape, and then, under the infusion of his spiritual power, it drilled forward.
There was a roar, and soon, the rainbow light broke through the rocks blocking the road ahead. The remaining people took advantage of the situation to clear away the rest, and finally were able to continue moving forward.
After a while, we finally arrived at the place where Liu Xi was buried.
After clearing away the stones and sand, no trace of Liu Xi was found, not even a corpse, not even bones.
"How could it be possible? Could it be that Liu Xi was eaten alive by this man?" the beggar said with some fear.
The rest of the people were startled and frightened by this conclusion.
"No, this person should have destroyed the corpse and wiped out all traces, but he underestimated the token on Liu Xi." The Taoist priest found the token with black and red letters from the ruins, but it was only slightly damaged.
Apart from this, no one else was found, but everyone was certain that Liu Xi was indeed killed and buried here.
The group of people left the cave and handed the only remaining token on Liu Xi's body to the middle-aged scribe.
The scribe took the token, looked at the number "forty-two" on it, and said with emotion: "Liu Xi has made a lot of contributions since joining our Shadow Society. With his merits, he was promoted to a high-level gang member, and he also won the title of Lord Ningxiang.
She received rewards and praises from her. The Incense Master was also the first to sense this accident and sent us to investigate. But now we can’t even find her body. I’m afraid the Incense Master will be furious.”
The Taoist priest took the words and said: "Brother, why don't we divide our troops into two groups, and the eldest brother will lead a few people to go

The Imperial Palace of Zhou Kingdom will find out the truth, and we will go back with Liu Xi’s token to recover?”
"Okay, it's hard for you. When this matter is understood, I will advise the incense master. You have all been in the intermediate gang for many years. It's time to go further." The scribe patted the Taoist priest's shoulder and said kindly.
said.
The Taoist priests were a little depressed at first, but suddenly they were overjoyed. They were all ranked outside the 100th place, and they had accumulated a lot of merits. If anyone else recommended them, they would be able to become high-level members soon.
Then the group of soldiers was divided into two parts. The scribes led the salesmen, nuns and others to the territory of Zhou Kingdom, while the Taoist priests and others returned along the way they came.
A month later, the Zhou royal palace was massacred by mysterious people. After the fire was ignited, it burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. The emperor, his concubines and others were all killed, and only a few of the chamberlains escaped.
The entire Zhou Kingdom began to fall into a state of disintegration. The rebels and rebels from all walks of life swarmed up and competed with each other. However, the neighboring countries that had already coveted the kingdom could no longer bear it. They raised troops one after another under the pretext of attacking the rebels and sent troops to the Zhou Kingdom. In the end, several major
The powerful countries joined forces in the capital of the Zhou Kingdom and concluded a partition treaty. The Zhou Kingdom, which had been a state for nearly two hundred years, was completely carved up by several major mortal dynasties such as the Jin Kingdom, and has since disappeared in the long river of history.
Although the Xutian Sect received the news, they were busy fighting fierce battles with the Jade Girl Sect and the Mingjian Hall and had no time to take care of the Zhou Kingdom. They could only wait for the opportunity to retaliate after the battle between the sects was completed.
To these immortal sects, mortals are like leeks. Once they are cut, another batch will grow after hundreds of years. As long as they are strong enough, they can continue to cut them off.
Outside Dihua Villa, Wang Rui devoted himself to training and mastered the three major spells of Daobao Sword, Thunder Sword and Sword Qi Rushuang, and mastered the hidden attributes of these spells as much as possible.
The world outside the Villa Miasma is very big. Wang Rui has traveled thousands of miles for more than a month without being able to explore the boundary. It is too big.
Whoosh!
A harsh whistle sounded. Wang Rui, carrying the sword box on his back, raised his head and saw traces of the transmission notes.
The telepathic talisman noticed his position and immediately rushed towards him, and was held in Wang Rui's hand.
The transmission note from Chen Qi told him an unexpected thing. The mortal dynasty Zhou was destroyed. On the surface, several neighboring countries sent troops to carve it up. But Chen Qi mentioned that before Jin and other countries sent troops, Zhou
The King's Palace suffered a bloody massacre by mysterious forces. As a result, the Zhou Kingdom was leaderless and torn apart, and was divided among powerful countries.
Chen Qi also mentioned that this news came from a chamberlain from the Zhou Kingdom who risked his life to tell them. Before Zhou Hua left the Zhou Kingdom, he was always concerned about his mother country, so he secretly begged Chen Qi to give her some special transmission notes.
, even mortals can use it.
She then gave these transmission notes to several of the most loyal chamberlains in the palace, in order to use them on the day when the Zhou Kingdom encountered a disaster. She did not expect to use them so quickly, but it was still a step too late.
Moreover, the transmission note has a distance limit. If the distance is too far, it cannot be activated. It can only be used when it is at a certain distance.
The several chamberlains who desperately escaped from the Zhou Kingdom roughly knew Zhou Hua's destination, but the difficulties and obstacles involved were far beyond the ability of a mortal body to overcome. Several chamberlains fell down on the road one after another, but the last one persisted desperately.
But he was trapped in the miasma. When he was dying, he finally told all the secrets into the transmission notes.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Then activate.
Fortunately, this time, the distance was finally not too far, and the teleportation talismans accurately found Chen Qi in the villa.
Now Zhou Hua is emotionally unstable and vows to return to his motherland to avenge the emperor and others. Even the fairy aunt cannot persuade him. Chen Qi hopes that Wang Rui will come back as soon as possible.
After receiving the transmission note, Wang Rui thought about it in his mind, and soon got an idea. The Zhou Kingdom would not encounter a disaster for no reason. It was obvious that this was related to the death of Queen Liu Xi, and Wang Rui also understood that when
He discovered the Shadow Society token on Liu Xi's body, and after learning some preliminary information about the Shadow Society, he knew that he had encountered something quite difficult.
This organization is extremely mysterious. It is not known how many people there are, and it is lurking in all the major immortal sects. Don't talk about yourself, even if the Xutian Sect wants to face this kind of organization, it will appear to be overestimating its capabilities, unless it is the current immortal.
Only through the joint efforts of the four super sects, Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Jiuyang Temple, Red Maple Valley and Litian Sect, can we hope to eradicate this organization.
However, Zhou Hua is already their friend. Now that their friend is in trouble, they cannot stand by and watch.
Wang Rui summoned the mother sword and turned it into rainbow light, jumped up, then raised the sword light and flew towards the villa.
Entering the village, he saw Chen Fuzhi waiting for him. Chen Qi was not there, probably accompanying Zhou Hua.
"Brother, how is Zhou Hua doing now?" Wang Rui asked.
Chen Fuzhi was about to say something, but suddenly he felt that Wang Rui had undergone a huge change. The aura on his body was deeper and the fluctuations of spiritual power were more restrained. He couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, your cultivation has improved again. I'm really envious."
What a shame, big brother."
"Brother, you are not bad either. You are already at the ninth level of Qi training. I estimate that you will be able to advance to the foundation building level in at most three years." Wang Rui comforted him. His cultivation level is now approaching the middle stage of the foundation building stage, mainly because of his body.
There are sufficient resources, and there are no obstacles to spiritual practice.
But the most troublesome thing is the next step. Once he reaches the upper limit of foundation building, whether he can cross this realm and advance to the core formation is what he is most concerned about.
His Huanglong Gong cultivation level is only equivalent to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he has no knowledge of the subsequent Huayuan stage, only the subsequent realms, etc. If he can advance to Danjie this time, he may also be able to advance Huanglong Gong to Huayuan stage.
Expectation? In that case, Wang Rui couldn't help but look forward to it.
Fortunately, he now controls his emotions very well and suppresses such ambitious thoughts.
Chen Fuzhi told him that Zhou Hua's emotions were a little out of control, and it was difficult for Chen Qi to persuade him. Fairy Dihua was also a little helpless, but she could not lead her apprentice to seek revenge because of this. The annihilation and change of mortal dynasties are like those of immortals.
You cannot interfere, otherwise it will cause public anger. This is a rule that has been set down by Dingli since there were Qi practitioners, and all cultivators must abide by it.
Although Zhou Hua swore that there must be Qigong practitioners involved in this conspiracy to destroy the country, there was no evidence to prove it.
Wang Rui was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should tell him about his discovery of the Shadow Society. The Shadow Society must be quite powerful, and its members were lurking in the Immortal Sect. If he said it rashly, the other person would be a member of the Shadow Society, so
He and his companions will fall into an extremely dangerous situation. In fact, the demise of Zhou Kingdom has already made Wang Rui feel pressured. The Shadow Club is seeking revenge for Liu Xi, and it is very likely that the next step is to find him.
