Chapter 172: The Black Lotus Cult's messenger takes the bait, turmoil is about to arise, and a new layout "Tell me." Xu Gu's eyes flickered, and his expression was slightly moved: "Who joined the Black Lotus Sect?" The Black Lotus Sect in the ancestral land, as a traitor to the White Lotus Sect, can only hide in its base camp, Tianwai Tiancheng, when facing the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect. Even if they might take the risk of recruiting some peripheral members in other main cities to expand their influence, they would be extremely cautious and careful, and it would be almost impossible to let outsiders know. In particular, among the twelve main cities, the overall strength of Tushita City is only in the middle and lower reaches, and the possibility of the Black Lotus Sect developing its own peripheral members in Tushita City is even smaller. After all, doing so carries the same risk of being exposed and then wiped out, but the possible benefits may be much smaller. Therefore, he thought that he would have to wait for some time before finding a way to join the Black Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, I found a way in just half a month. Moreover, this path is in the Tushita City. "The great ancestor of the Yuan family, Yuan Hua!" The head of the Mo family said: "The person who joined the Black Lotus Sect in our Tushita City is Yuan Hua, the ancestor of the Yuan family."

The three families in Tusita City are the Mo family, the Yuan family, and the Zheng family. Each family has two combined ancestors. Yuan Hua, the great ancestor of the Yuan family, is one of the two combined bodies of the Yuan family, and he is the older and more powerful one. "Yuan Hua." Xu Gu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about his memories, and said, "If it's him, it's not surprising." Yuan family's ancestor Yuan Hua is not only the strongest in the Yuan family, but also the strongest in the entire Tushita City. His cultivation is at the terrifying fifth level of fusion. The most important thing is that he only practiced for a thousand years! Take the Mo family as an example. Another ancestor of the Mo family, Mo Xiakai, is nearly two thousand years old, but is only at the fourth level of fusion. You know, Mo Xiakai is the most evil person in the Mo family in thousands of years! He is not like Mo Xuanguang, who is a natural fusion nurtured by secret method, but an ancestor of fusion who has been promoted step by step from Qi training. As early as a thousand years ago, it was already in the fusion stage. This shows how terrifyingly evil the Yuan family's ancestor Yuan Hua was. "Well, it's just average actually." Xu Gu added in his heart. In a holy place for practicing magic such as the Demonic Path Ancestral Land, there is no shortage of various materials and the environment for practicing is extremely favorable. It took him a thousand years to practice to the fifth level of fusion. I am afraid his talent is far inferior to that of the three true disciples in the Daliang Demon Cave. The eldest brother is Han Changsheng, the second brother is Duo Zai, and the third brother is Ping Wuqi. The spiritual roots are probably the worst kind of double spiritual roots - double spiritual roots that counteract each other. Double spiritual roots are divided into mutually restraining double spiritual roots, ordinary double spiritual roots, and mutually beneficial double spiritual roots. Among them, mutually beneficial double spiritual roots are also called earth spiritual roots. Mutually restraining double spiritual roots are mostly called pseudo double spiritual roots. The talent of Yuan family's ancestor Yuan Hua is beyond even the reach of Han Changsheng and the other two, let alone the true disciples of those major righteous forces. However, in the eyes of the demon cultivators in the Demonic Path's ancestral land, he is undoubtedly a top-level talent! A peerless evildoer rarely seen in a thousand years! With such qualifications, it is certain that he will be promoted to the late stage of fusion in the future, so it is reasonable for the Black Lotus Sect to take the risk to recruit him. "But shouldn't this information be top secret?" Xu Gu asked the head of the Mo family, "How did you know about it?" The head of the Mo family had a complicated expression, not knowing whether to be sad or happy, and said: "Originally, this is top secret and outsiders cannot know it.

“However, Doushita City has been in turmoil recently, and Guyue Lake Town has become a vortex of conspiracy. Even you, the ancestor with great power, have suffered losses. If we allow the conspiracy to brew and watch the turmoil happen, Doushita City will become the next Lingxiao City if we are not careful. "Therefore, the Yuan family's great ancestor wanted the Black Lotus Sect to protect their Yuan family. After all, the Yuan family is the foundation of the Yuan family's great ancestor. "The Black Lotus Cult agreed and made some arrangements at the Yuan family. This move also led to word of it." "The Black Lotus Sect is so kind-hearted?" Xu Gu had a playful look on his face, obviously unconvinced. If the Black Lotus Sect only sent people to protect Yuan Hua, the ancestor of the Yuan family, then he might still believe it. But if I take the risk of protecting the entire Yuan family, even a demon cultivator would not believe it. The head of the Mo family looked bitter, and sighed, "The Black Lotus Cult would not be so kind. They probably want to send people to interfere, and when Tushita City becomes chaotic, they will take advantage of the chaos to rob all kinds of property and treasures." The Black Lotus Sect is more than just ill-intentioned. If that were true, then they would be an absolute enemy to the ruling forces of Tushita City. Originally, they were unsure about the mysterious force hiding in Guyue Lake Town, and felt pressured by the turmoil that this mysterious force was about to cause in Tushita City. Next, we have to be on guard against the Black Lotus Cult taking advantage of the situation. As the head of the Mo family, he naturally had a huge headache and was dissatisfied with the Black Lotus Sect. But there was nothing they could do, the Black Lotus Sect was too powerful and they could not afford to provoke them. "It is for this reason that the emissary of the Black Lotus Cult does not care much about whether his identity is exposed." The head of the Mo family added: "Because, in her opinion, Tusita City is destined to be in chaos. After the chaos, the Yuan family's ancestor will definitely leave. “As a Black Lotus Cult envoy who serves the Yuan family’s ancestor, she naturally doesn’t need to stay in Tushita City anymore. “In this case, it doesn’t matter whether her identity is exposed or not. "In fact, it is more beneficial to reveal one's identity. Because, we can use the name of the Black Lotus Sect to make other demon cultivators afraid to act rashly, and gain enough benefits in the upcoming chaos." "That's the truth." Xu Gu nodded in agreement. The smile in your heart becomes brighter. He really didn't think about it that way. Because of the incident in Lingxiao City, the surrounding forces felt that there would be chaos in Doushita City and they were all preparing to take advantage of the situation. Yes, I’m afraid that all the forces around are sharpening their knives and preparing to take advantage of the situation! After all, even the mysterious Black Lotus Sect was planning to do this. It was inevitable that other forces in the surrounding main cities would take this opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. "In this case, even if I don't take action to cause a commotion, this Tushita City is destined to be in chaos." Xu Gu thought to himself, "If I take action, the chaos will only get worse." Now that all forces have reached this consensus, they are standing by with tense expressions, waiting for the outcome at any time. This is like a cave full of gunpowder, any spark can set it off. "That's great." Xu Gu's mouth corners slightly raised. This is of course the most beneficial to him. "Make arrangements. I want to meet the great ancestor of the Yuan family." Xu Gu said to the patriarch of the Mo family.

"Yes." The head of the Mo family looked happy and said with a hint of anticipation: "Boy, go and arrange it right away!" In his opinion, the ancestor Xuan Guang in front of him, who was asking about the Black Lotus Sect and now going to meet the ancestor of the Yuan family who had already joined the Black Lotus Sect, was obviously trying to find a way to enter the Black Lotus Sect and let the Black Lotus Sect also protect the Mo family. Even if this opportunity is difficult to achieve, it is not difficult to prevent the Black Lotus Sect from robbing the Mo family when the turmoil occurs. That afternoon. Yuan family, the residence of Yuan Hua, the ancestor of the Yuan family. Xu Gu strode into Yuan Hua's mansion, with the butler puppet, who looked like an old servant, following him respectfully all the time, never leaving his side. Seeing Yuan Hua, a middle-aged man in the hall, Xu Gu bowed and said, "Greetings, Daoist Fellow Yuan Hua!" The opponent is at the fifth level of fusion, while he is only at the first level, so he naturally has to be very humble. "No need to be polite, fellow Daoist." After returning the greeting, Yuan Hua helped Xu Gu up, motioned him to sit down, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xuanguang, why did you come here this time?" Seeing that the other party was asking directly about the purpose of his visit, Xu Gu did not intend to keep the secret and said straight to the point: "I heard that there is an envoy from the Black Lotus Sect at Daoist Fellow Yuan Hua's residence, and I would like to pay a visit to him." "It's for this indeed." Yuan Hua smiled proudly, shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Guang, you may not know that other fellow Daoists have come to visit us in recent days, wanting to meet Miss Shui Ruyi, but unfortunately they didn't get a good response. “Whether it was their request to join the Black Lotus Sect, or to have the Black Lotus Sect protect their family, or even to have the Black Lotus Sect not rob them during times of unrest, all of their requests were rejected. “I’m afraid that this trip of Fellow Daoist Xuan Guang will have the same outcome. "I think it's better not to see Miss Shui Ruyi, so as to avoid being unhappy." Those who can be called fellow Taoists by Yuan Hua are naturally in the fusion stage. Since all the others who were at the fusion stage were rejected, there was no reason why Master Xuanguan, who was at the fusion stage one, would not be rejected. "A lot of fellow Taoists have come to pay respects to Miss Shui Ruyi?" Xu Gu looked surprised and said with a smile, "It seems that I got the news too late. "As for the possible setbacks, please don't worry about it, Fellow Daoist Yuan Hua. The Black Lotus Cult's envoy is here, so I have to pay my respects, right? "She can refuse my request, but I have to meet her and make some requests." Of course, Xu Gu also knew that with Master Xuan Guang’s cultivation and talent, he would definitely not be able to join the Black Lotus Sect. The main reason why he insisted was that he wanted to see if he could be treated differently by the other party with the help of the "friend of women". Although the appearance of Master Xuan Guang is not as handsome as his real body, he is also handsome and has a good temperament. With the help of women's friends, it should be enough to defeat the opponent. "That's the truth." Yuan Hua pondered it carefully, and said to his servant with a hearty smile: "Go and invite Miss Shui Ruyi! Just say that Master Xuanguang is here to pay a visit!" After that, Yuan Hua stood up and said to Xu Gu: "You and Miss Shui Ruyi can chat, I will come back later." After saying this, he walked out of the hall. The Heti Patriarch wanted to see the Black Lotus Cult envoy. If he had other important matters to ask for, it would not be appropriate for him to listen in. After Xu Gu thanked him, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress. She had a pure face and a slim figure, and seemed as gentle as water.

She doesn't look like a witch from the Black Lotus Sect. Unfortunately, this is just appearance. Xu Gu could see at a glance the contrast between the other person's private behavior and his appearance, which was absolutely huge. Although the wide long skirt concealed her exact figure, as she walked, her body twisted, causing the skirt to sway and stick to her skin, outlining the hot curves of her graceful body. As for his cultivation level, it is only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage. But because he is a messenger of the Black Lotus Sect, even a demon at the first or second level of Fusion would have to show respect when seeing him. "Oh? You are? True Lord Xuan Guang?" Shui Ruyi was sitting opposite, somewhat restrained and stiff, very introverted. However, after noticing Xu Gu in front of her, she was stunned at first, then slightly surprised, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. It's like seeing delicious food. "Women's Friend is indeed effective." Xu Gu was delighted. If it were really possible to enter the Black Lotus Sect so easily, there would undoubtedly be less trouble. "It's me." Xu Gu said with a smile, "Miss Ruyi knows me?" "I've heard of it." Shui Ruyi regained her composure and said in a restrained manner, "The Master came to see me, is it..." "I have heard of the Black Lotus Sect's great reputation for a long time and have longed for it. If I could have the opportunity to join the Black Lotus Sect, perhaps I would have no regrets in this life." Xu Gu pretended to be admiring and said sincerely. "You want to join the Black Lotus Sect?" Shui Ruyi seemed very surprised and flattered, but then she looked embarrassed and said, "But, unfortunately, we in the Black Lotus Sect don't recruit people easily. The reason why we recruited Yuan Hua is because he is too special, he is a special case." "Can't I be an exception?" Xu Gu said with a smile. Under normal circumstances, Shui Ruyi's words actually meant a rejection. However, he saw that 'Friend of Women' had an effect and Shui Ruyi was obviously interested. If he persisted, there might be hope. After all, according to what Yuan Hua said, other ancestors in the combined state did not get a good look when they met Shui Ruyi. "Special case? Why do you think you will be a special case?" But who would have thought that Shui Ruyi, who had just been so reserved and embarrassed, would suddenly become arrogant and condescending, and said with sarcasm and ridicule: "Do you also have dual spiritual roots? Can you also advance to the middle stage of fusion in a thousand years? Do you have the hope of advancing to the late stage of fusion in the future? "A person who is at the first level of the fusion stage, born through secret techniques. His life span is only 30% of that of a normal fusion stage, and his potential is even less than half of that of an ordinary fusion stage. Who do you think you are? "Are you worthy of being recruited by us?" Xu Gu's eyes flickered slightly. He obviously didn't expect that the other party's attitude would suddenly change 180 degrees, and his words were full of humiliation. No wonder Yuan Hua, the ancestor of the Yuan family, just advised him not to ask for a meeting. Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Yuan Hua took the initiative to leave. It turns out that I knew this scene would happen. Faced with such humiliation, the other ancestors who were used to being high and mighty would probably be so angry that their faces would turn purple. Of course, Xu Gu definitely doesn’t care. A pseudo-double spiritual root is nothing. Which of the five demon generals under his command is not a natural spiritual root? To be promoted to the fusion stage within a thousand years is nothing. He killed the fusion stage at the age of sixteen like killing chickens. Did he say anything? The late stage of the fusion stage is also nothing. Even the Black Lotus Sect is nothing.

However, deep in Xu Gu's eyes, there was still a hint of murderous intent that no one knew about. Since the plan to peacefully recruit people into the Black Lotus Sect through seduction has failed, we have to choose other ways. For example, kill Shui Ruyi, the Black Lotus envoy in front of you, and then use the Hongzhong mask to disguise yourself as her, first infiltrate the Black Lotus Sect, and then change to another identity. Of course, we definitely can't kill here. This is Yuan Hua's residence. I'm afraid Yuan Hua will come to kill us before we even start. If you want to kill Shui Ruyi, you need to choose a special time and place. "This is the trouble." Xu Gu sighed in his heart. Shui Ruyi often stays by Yuan Hua's side. If he wants to lure her out alone, in addition to finding ways to seduce her, he may have to wait until Tushita City is in complete chaos and this woman starts to take advantage of the situation to rob. However, just as Xu Gu was about to bid farewell to Shui Ruyi and was thinking about how to lure Shui Ruyi to death, Who would have thought that Shui Ruyi would be out of character again, with a shy look on her pretty face, her slender white legs together, her head slightly lowered, and she said to Xu Gu in a very reserved and reserved manner: "But, Master, why did you join the Black Lotus Sect? If it is for the company of the beauties of the Black Lotus Sect, this may be acceptable." As she spoke, she stretched out her delicate jade hand, and pushed out a jade talisman, saying: "The Xuantian Cave in the east of the city, I can go there at the end of every ten days." "Oh?" Xu Gu's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. There was an unexpected surprise. It seems that this friend of women is still useful. In this way, there is no need to rack your brains to find a way to lure Shui Ruyi out and kill her. She will come out and die on her own initiative. It's a pity that I can't show my true self, otherwise I would be sent to the Black Lotus Sect directly. Why do this? Seeing that Xu Gu didn't react much, Shui Ruyi stood up. A breeze blew over her gauze skirt, revealing her graceful body again. She looked charming and seductive, and said seductively: "At that time, I can also introduce you to other sisters of the Black Lotus Sect. In this way, isn't it the same as joining the Black Lotus Sect?" "How do you know that I like living in the Xuantian Cave Mansion in the east of the city?" Xu Gu smiled brightly, his eyes narrowed, and he directly grabbed the jade talisman and said to Shui Ruyi: "I'll wait for you at the end of this ten days." "I will definitely not let you down." Shui Ruyi smiled with a hint of anticipation. She checked the time and left shyly in a hurry. "Be sure to remember to come." Before leaving, she did not forget to send a message. Not long after, the Yuan family's ancestor said with regret: "I told you long ago that you'll run into a wall." Because Shui Ruyi's hint was telepathic. He didn't know. Although he saw Shui Ruyi gave Xu Gu a jade talisman, he didn't know what it was used for. He didn't care, although there were many places where jade talismans were used, but generally they were of little use. Xu Gu smiled and said, "It's not like I gained nothing. Miss Shui gave me a jade talisman. Although I can't enter the Black Lotus Sect, I can enter the Heavenly City." "Oh?" Yuan Hua was a little surprised and asked, "Are you planning to go to Tianwai Tiancheng?" No main city welcomes foreign mergers, because a city has limited resources. If a merger comes, there will be one more competitor, and a large amount of resources will be taken away.

Even though the Tianwai Tiancheng is the richest, if one goes there at the first level of the fusion stage, he won't be too repulsed, but it will certainly not be as comfortable as in the Tushita City. "The Tushita City will be in chaos. If the turmoil is as severe as that in Lingxiao City, I will have no choice but to go to Tianwai Tiancheng." Xu Gu said helplessly: "When the time comes, I hope that Daoist Yuan Hua can take care of it." "Of course." Yuan Hua agreed readily. If it really comes to this, he will definitely go to Tianwai Tiancheng, because the Black Lotus Sect is in Tianwai Tiancheng. When the time comes, we will have to stick together for warmth. "But is the situation really that serious? What exactly happened to you in Guyue Lake Town?" Yuan Hua asked. "Sure enough, he still asked." Xu Gu felt slightly happy. He took the initiative to visit and pay a visit to the strongest person in Tushita City, not only because he wanted to find a way to join the Black Lotus Sect. Just waiting to be asked these questions by Yuan Hua. Since someone has been to Guyue Lake Town, if you want to find out the situation, you must first ask this person about the situation there, and then consider whether to go there to investigate. And, once the other party asked, he could use this as an opportunity to make a plan! "We encountered an external force." Xu Gu took a deep breath, very solemnly, and transmitted the message deliberately. "Foreign forces?" Yuan Hua was slightly stunned. He wanted to say, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" If it's not foreign forces, then it must be the forces within our Tushita City. However, Xu Gu pointed to the sky. "Forces outside the ancestral land?" Yuan Hua looked solemn and serious, and continued to transmit his voice: "Really?" Although there are various restrictions and constraints in the Demonic ancestral land, the cultivators inside cannot go out, and it is difficult for the cultivators outside to come in. Even if the demon cultivators from the outside world come here for trials, they can only stay here for fifty years every five hundred years, and their cultivation is only at the Golden Core Stage, which is no big deal. However, the Demonic Dao Ancestral Land has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and the various restrictions have long been outdated and their power has declined. If there is really a big man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, with the help of some special magic treasures, he is fully capable of doing it and influencing the interior of the Demonic Dao Ancestral Land. Xu Gu nodded and said, "Really." "Then why were you able to return safely?" Yuan Hua hesitated. As he said that, he looked at Xu Gu again. He didn't see any injury on Xu Gu. At most, his vitality was slightly damaged. "Because the target of that foreign force is the guardian of the ancestral land." Xu Gu said after a moment of hesitation. "Guardian of the ancestral land? The White Lotus? They want to kill the Jade Blue Angel of the White Lotus?" Yuan Hua's breathing suddenly became rapid and he became very agitated. Because the Black Lotus Sect and the White Lotus Sect are incompatible. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to kill the angel Yu Lan, his voice in the Black Lotus Sect would undoubtedly increase significantly. In this way, even if the entire Yuan family was destroyed, even if the territory in Tushita City was lost, it would not matter. The profits gained can fully compensate for these losses. "How do you know this?" Yuan Hua stared at Xu Gu with a little vigilance: "Even if the other party's target is really the White Lotus Sect, they don't want to leak the news and attract the attention of the White Lotus Sect because of dealing with you.

"But how do you know their whereabouts and goals?" "Of course it's because I chose to join them." Xu Gu said frankly: "They took the initiative to tell me." "You joined them?" Yuan Hua was very surprised, but soon felt relieved. They are all magic cultivators, and sucking up to others is basic practice. As long as he is a big shot, and hugging him brings benefits, or hugging him can save their lives, all demon cultivators will hug him. No one cares what the big shot's background is or what his stance is. "But you tell me these?" Yuan Hua's eyes flashed and he hesitated. "Of course I'm looking for you to cooperate with me." Xu Gu said with a smile. "Cooperation?" Yuan Hua was not surprised, he had expected this, and he looked playful: "How do you cooperate? And who is cooperating with me, you, or the external force behind you?" "Of course it's me." Xu Gu said, taking out a seed from his arms and handing it to Yuan Hua, "This is a blood seed. After you refine it, plant it in the soil and feed it with the flesh and blood of others, and it will mature. "Once it matures, it will produce the blood-refined divine weapon you need." "The blood-refined divine weapon that I need?" Yuan Hua's heart trembled. He was very excited and excited inside and couldn't calm down. Because the blood-refined divine weapon is equivalent to the natal magic weapon! The power of the blood-refined divine weapon he needs is not much different from the innate magic weapon he has nurtured to this day. If this is true, his combat power will directly increase by several times! You know, this is the fifth level of fusion! At his level, it is extremely difficult to improve strength by even a little bit, let alone by several levels! "And there are seven of them." Xu Gu said calmly. "What?" Yuan Hua could no longer sit still. He stood up and cried out in surprise, looking very out of control. One blood-refined divine weapon that he needed was enough to move him, let alone seven. "Seven blood-refined divine weapons, and they are all what you need." Xu Gu repeated calmly, and then said: "You heard it right." Yuan Hua took a deep breath, suppressed his restless mood, and said, "There is a conspiracy here." "Yes." Xu Gu said frankly: "To cultivate this level of blood-refined divine weapons, a large amount of blood food is needed, and by then it may take up half of Tushita City. “So this is also the source of trouble. "Originally, they wanted me to do it. Then, when I was almost done, they would kill me. They would not give the seven extremely precious blood-refined divine weapons to others." "So, you want me to be a scapegoat?" Yuan Hua sneered. Xu Gu smiled coldly and said, "So what? You don't want to?" (End of this chapter)
