Chapter 648 Rescue Gong Shulan, Red Dragon Patriarch's "Snake Swallowing Elephant" (5k Subscription Required)

"Ten years may seem urgent, but this is not the time for my final duel with him..."

Wei Tu made a calm analysis in his mind.

Unlike Ding Lezheng, the core conflict between him and "Alliance Master Feng" was only the allocation of resources in the Zunwang Palace, and... his covetousness for the "Lock Demon Hall opportunity" he had obtained.

At this time, he had no need to rescue the hostages.

So, there was no urgency of time.

This duel could be delayed by him until... four hundred years later, when the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace was opened.

Compared to ten years...

Four hundred years is quite spacious.

By then, after he has mastered two or three "laws", plus a few spiritual treasures in his hands, his strength will definitely be in the early stage of the transformation of the spirit, and he will be able to enter the first-class or even top ranks.

And if there is no opportunity, it will be difficult for the old-fashioned Feng Alliance Master to improve in these short four hundred years.

This is the limitation of the resources in the lower world.

So, time is on his side.

After thinking this through, Wei Tu's expression relaxed a little, not as tense as before.

Next, he took out the two spiritual treasures that Ding Lezheng had used before from his storage bag, erased the imprint of the mana inside, and began to slowly refine them.

These two spiritual treasures were the "God-Breaking Nail" and the mountain-type magic weapon that he had taken from Ding Lezheng.

The former, which was of the fifth-grade upper grade, was a rare soul-path magic weapon in the world.

If he had not deliberately chosen the battle site in the special area of ​​"Zhaoming Dead Sea", which greatly hindered Ding Lezheng's spiritual awareness range and affected the power of the nail, the result would have been hard to say.

The latter was the genuine "Wanqing Mountain" that he had snatched.

Although the grade was only the fifth-grade lower grade, the power of this mountain was close to the fifth-grade middle-grade magic weapon, which was just another conventional means in his hands.

After all, the super-grade spiritual treasure "Xuanling Gold Chain" was still too eye-catching.

…

While refining the magic weapon, Wei Tu also took the opportunity to search the storage bags of Ding Lezheng and Fang Xingduan.

These two, one is a venerable master of the spirit transformation, and the other is a great cultivator of the Nascent Soul, and their collections are very rich.

However, there are not many that can be used on him.

"The Dark Water Escape Technique."

Suddenly, Wei Tu found this profound escape technique in Ding Lezheng's collection.

Immediately, Ding Lezheng's memory of this escape technique emerged in his mind.

In terms of escape speed, this escape technique is not as fast as the "Ten Thousand Crows Blood Escape" he got from the Jishan Sect. After all, the speed of blood escape is bound to be faster than ordinary escape speed.

But the speed of this escape technique is strong in that it is extremely concealed and can be transformed into mysterious dark water to avoid enemy pursuit.

However, in order to really achieve this effect, it is necessary to find the "Dark Water Seed" to refine it.

Ding Lezheng died because he had not found the "Nether Water Seed" and refined it into his body. Otherwise, if he escaped with this escape technique, he would have a good chance of escaping his pursuit.

Even if he followed him with this escape speed, he would not be discovered by him.

"Nether Water Seed..."

Wei Tu secretly memorized the name of this natural treasure in his heart, and when he was ready to return to the Guixu Sea Cultivation Realm, he began to search for it.

After all, this escape method is not only an escape method, but also a high-level hiding method.

...

A few days later.

After resting and preparing, Wei Tu came out of seclusion, and with his escape light, he began to fly in the direction of Wanyinmen.

With his escape speed, he approached the headquarters of Wanyinmen in less than half a day.

However, as soon as he arrived here, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face after his spiritual sense swept.

The reason was that he saw two familiar old friends on a deserted island outside the mountain gate of Wanyinmen.

——The Scorpio Patriarch and his disciple "Gong Shulan".

These two people, at this time, captured a group of monks who were suspected to be disciples of Wanyin Sect, and were performing an evil method that seemed to control people's minds on these people.

On the deserted island, Gong Shulan took out a magical instrument shaped like a bone stick from his sleeve, and entered several magic formulas on the bone stick, and dense black insects drilled out of it.

Then, the black insects flew along the heads of the group of Wanyin Sect disciples and drilled into the seven orifices of these people.

After a while, Gong Shulan pinched the formula again, and pointed his fingers at the eyebrows of these Wanyin Sect disciples. The eyes of these Wanyin Sect disciples suddenly changed, and they began to call Gong Shulan "Mrs. Jin".

"Mrs. Jin?" Hearing this familiar name, Wei Tu couldn't help but frowned, and then he understood in his heart that after many years, this old demon was ready to attack Wanyin Sect again.

Hundreds of years ago, this old demon had joined forces with Duan Changjing, the deputy leader of Wanyin Sect, to launch a rebellion, preparing to capture and kill him and Madam Jin's mother and daughter in one fell swoop, and to interrogate the whereabouts of the Red Dragon Patriarch and the hiding place of the "Heavenly Ghost Seed".

However, because Duan Changjing did not trust the Scorpio Patriarch, he did not allow him to enter the Wanyin Sect, and only allowed his eldest disciple, Zhang Nanqiu, to enter... So he failed at the last moment and was killed by him. Zhang Nanqiu and Duan Changjing, one died and the other escaped.

Although he was not very clear about the specific development afterwards, he could guess some of it based on the information that "Duan Changjing occupied the Wanyin Sect" later.

It was probably because he killed Zhang Nanqiu that the old demon, the Scorpio Patriarch, mistakenly believed that the Red Dragon Patriarch was still alive, so he did not dare to face the sharp edge and temporarily retreated.

Later, when he saw that Duan Changjing had mastered the Wanyin Sect's protective formation, he was not easy to deal with, so he just let it go.

"Now, this demon is coming again. Could it be that he has pinpointed the location of the ghost species?"

Wei Tu had a guess.

The Scorpio Ancestor is nothing like a rash character.

He had endured Duan Changjing for hundreds of years without making a move, and suddenly, for no reason, he thought of plotting to seize the foundation of the "Wan Yin Sect" again.

And just when Wei Tu was thinking.

Gong Shulan on the desert island also turned into "Mrs. Jin" at this moment.

"Human puppet?" Wei Tu swept his consciousness and instantly saw the truth behind Gong Shulan's transformation into "Mrs. Jin".

It is undoubtedly easier to use a human puppet to imitate Mrs. Jin's appearance and aura than it is for the monk to disguise himself.

And Gong Shulan has the gift of "ghost body". One soul and two bodies can easily make this "human puppet" become a "living creature", confusing the real thing.

"It's useless to think too much, just ask Gong Shulan directly. If the time is right, just take this opportunity to kill the old devil Scorpio."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly as he thought.

Hundreds of years ago, before he went to Wanyinmen for the first time, he had a brief cooperation with Gong Shulan.

It was Gong Shulan who told him the information about Qi Chengchu and advised him not to rush for revenge and to wait until Qi Chengchu died in two hundred years.

In other words, it was Gong Shulan who betrayed the Scorpio Ancestor back then.

Therefore, the two of them... are both old friends and "allies" facing the Scorpio Ancestor.

And the reason why he didn't come forward immediately to kill the "Scorpio Ancestor" with his god-incarnation power was naturally because he had concerns about Gong Shulan's safety.

——Gong Shulan’s soul was planted with a soul restriction by the Scorpion Ancestor.

The ghost body is just one soul and two bodies, not two souls.

Once he takes action rashly, not only will he not be able to save Gong Shulan, but he will most likely kill her.

"Fairy Gong, can we talk to you for a while?"

Wei Tu spoke and said to Gong Shulan.

As soon as these words came out, Gong Shulan, who was pretending to be "Mrs. Jin" on the desert island, was suddenly shocked. However, she had been in the world of immortality for many years and was very good at cultivating qi. There was no look of surprise on her face. The face is always pale.

"Fellow Daoist Wei?" Gong Shulan followed the line of consciousness extending from Wei Tu and spoke to Wei Tu.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, why did you come to Wanyin Gate? Now, before my master finds out, you should leave quickly."

Gong Shulan said in an urgent tone.

The news that Ding Lezheng is wanted for Wei Tu has spread throughout the Da Cang Cultivation World.

Naturally, her master Scorpio Ancestor was also interested in Wei Tu. After all, Wei Tu was wanted by Ding Lezheng, the god-transforming venerable, which had its own value.

In addition, the rumor that Wei Tu is a "Taoist Fu" also spread like wildfire in the world of Da Cang Cultivation.

You know, on the surface, Taoist Fu is a direct disciple of Patriarch Chilong.

For this reason alone, the Scorpion Ancestor had reason to arrest and kill Wei Tu.

"Fellow Palace Daoist, you can rest assured. With Wei's current strength, eradicating Scorpio is just a matter of easy capture."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and informed Gong Shulan that he had now attained the realm of divine transformation.

Hearing this, Gong Shulan was shocked. No matter how good she was at cultivating her Qi, she couldn't help but show a hint of disbelief.

Fortunately, her mind came back in time, and the strange color on her face disappeared briefly, without the Scorpion Ancestor noticing any clues.

She had no doubt about Wei Tu's words.

First, Wei Tu has always acted steadily and would not be arrogant or boastful.

Secondly, the Scorpio Ancestor's attainment of the divine soul is evident from the fact that he has not discovered Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness until now, which is enough to prove that Wei Tu is very powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Wei sent a message today..."

Gong Shulan was looking forward to it in her heart.

Although she had cut off the specific details of the transaction between herself and Wei Tu in Yuanze Fairy City, she knew that her relationship with Wei Tu had obviously "improved" after that transaction.

Wei Tu's attitude towards her will no longer be the same as when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, near the Demonic Wolf Mountains, when he notified True Lord Jindan of Jingshui Pavilion that he wanted to put her to death.

"I'm here to save the palace fairy."

Wei Tu explained calmly.

With his strength, killing the Scorpion Ancestor was just a casual matter.

Even regardless of Gong Shulan's reasons, the "hatred" between the Scorpion Ancestor and the Wan Yin Sect and him alone was worthy of his taking action to kill this enemy.

However, in order for him, the God-Transforming Lord, to not act recklessly and directly kill the Scorpion Ancestor, he had to save Gong Shulan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Gong Shulan felt warm in her heart and said gratefully.

Next, Wei Tu and Gong Shulan discussed a specific plan to save him from the clutches of the Scorpio Ancestor.

Direct rescue of that determination is not possible.

Even though he did not reveal his plan to rescue Gong Shulan, when he saw that he was about to die, with the temperament of the Scorpio ancestor, he would trigger Gong Shulan's soul restriction and drag Gong Shulan to die together.

As for the so-called entrustment of an orphan before death...

This is absolutely impossible with old demons like Patriarch Scorpio.

"How far is the range of this Soul Restriction?"

Wei Tu asked.

Soul restraint, like spells, can only be used in a limited range, and this range is usually the range of the caster's spiritual consciousness.

"No." Gong Shulan shook his head, "Scorpio's end is approaching. After Zhang Nanqiu died, he regarded me as the reincarnation house and planted a soul in my sea of ​​consciousness. As long as I leave him too far, this The Taoist Soul will wake up immediately and activate the Divine Soul Restriction."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned deeply, and immediately realized the scheming and meticulous tactics of old demons like the Scorpion Ancestor.

With his power as a god, it was difficult to find a suitable way to rescue Gong Shulan in a short period of time.

"Unless... you find the ghost species!"

Gong Shulan said solemnly.

"After finding the Heavenly Ghost Seed, the Scorpion Ancestor will give up trying to seize me. There is a high probability that he will also take away my soul and try his best to reincarnate as a Heavenly Ghost..."

"I am cooperating with him this time so that I can obtain the Heavenly Ghost Seed as soon as possible and avoid being taken over by him."

Gong Shulan explained the reason.

But when Wei Tu heard this, there was no joy on his face.

After all, the Heavenly Ghost Seed is the foundation for the Red Dragon Ancestor to be able to successfully reincarnate, extend his life, and continue his path.

It was impossible for him to abandon the Red Dragon Ancestor just for Gong Shulan.

"It is impossible to plant ghosts from the sky. My master, the ancestor Chilong, needs to use this thing to reincarnate. Is there any other way?"

Wei Tu groaned and said frankly.

The words fell.

Gong Shulan was a little disappointed at first, but when she heard the second half of Wei Tu's words, she was relieved.

As a direct disciple of Patriarch Scorpio, she knew that Wei Tu was a disciple of Patriarch Red Dragon.

It makes no sense to let Wei Tu deceive his teacher and give up another person in order to save her.

"Other than that, there is nothing I can do."

Gong Shulan sighed and replied.

The Scorpio Ancestor's careful thinking basically blocked any possibility of her survival. That is to say, the unexpected factor that Wei Tu was the Lord Transformation God gave her some hope of being rescued.

But unfortunately, she was unlucky.

Wei Tu happens to be a disciple of the Red Dragon Patriarch, and he will not give up the "Heavenly Ghost Seed" for her.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Wei Tu's arrival completely blocked her way of survival.

——Before, as long as she and the Scorpio Ancestor's plan went smoothly, there was still a chance to survive.

"What are your plans now, master and disciple?"

Seeing that the rescue of Gong Shulan was becoming a dead end, Wei Tu simply changed the topic and asked about this matter.

Gong Shulan pretended to be Mrs. Jin. In his opinion, except for the middle and low-level monks of the Wan Yin Sect, she could not deceive anyone at the Nascent Soul level.

Expecting to use this to find the ghost species is tantamount to wishful thinking.

"Scorpio has obtained information from the Wan Yin Sect. After Duan Changjing expanded the Wan Yin Sect, he used formation methods to conduct surveys and has locked several suspicious areas. He is about to find the ghost species."

"Now, I am pretending to be Mrs. Jin just to deceive the Wan Yin Gate formation. As soon as the formation gate is opened... with Duan Changjing's strength, he is definitely no match for Scorpio and me."

Gong Shulan did not hesitate and directly stated the detailed plan.

With Wei Tu, the god-transforming venerable, their master-disciple plan has been scrapped, so it doesn't matter whether they tell Wei Tu or not.

Moreover, although Wei Tu could not save her, his intentions were already there. This alone made it difficult for her to hide the matter from Wei Tu.

"Duan Changjing is almost found..."

"I see."

Immediately, Wei Tu completely understood the reason why he met Master and Disciple Gong Shulan here.

It turned out that it was Duan Changjing's own fault that attracted the Scorpio Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, this Gong Shulan is not irredeemable."

At this moment, the voice of Patriarch Chilong suddenly sounded in Wei Tu's ears.

"If you want to refine the Heavenly Ghost Seed, it will not happen overnight. Since this Scorpio is greedy for the Heavenly Ghost Seed, it is not impossible to give him this treasure first..."

Ancestor Chilong smiled sadly.

"Zhu Laomo, what do you mean?" Wei Tu frowned and asked the Red Dragon Ancestor's specific plans. In his opinion, the Red Dragon Ancestor was not a talkative person and was willing to sacrifice himself to save Gong Shulan's life.

Moreover, based on his friendship with Gong Shulan, it is not difficult for Patriarch Chilong to see that this woman is not an indispensable person to him. Patriarch Chilong cannot go there just to "please" him. Sacrifice your own path.

"The old demon Scorpio has swallowed countless monks with the soul-swallowing wood. His soul power is definitely above that of the quasi-god. If this ancestor swallowed him and reincarnated with the ghost seed, he would not only be able to reach his previous life in one fell swoop. It’s not impossible to reach the top and go further.”

"The Heavenly Ghost Seed has the function of purifying soul power."

Ancestor Chilong laughed several times, full of pride.

Normally, he would not dare to take such a risk, but Wei Tu is his disciple, his son-in-law, and has the strength to transform into a god... As long as Wei Tu takes action, no matter how powerful Scorpio is, he will be suppressed instantly.

At that time, he can "snake the elephant" and build the foundation of his soul path as a "heavenly ghost".

During this process, the ancestor of Scorpio took back the divided soul placed in Gong Shulan's body, and then allowed Gong Shulan to "escape", which was just a matter of course.

"This method can indeed kill two birds with one stone."

After clearly understanding the intention of Ancestor Chilong, Wei Tu nodded slightly and expressed his agreement.

When he met Gong Shulan's master and apprentice, his original intention was to rescue Gong Shulan and kill the old devil, the Scorpion Ancestor, by the way. But since there was a profit to be made here, he naturally would not deliberately stop it.

The relationship between the Chilong Patriarch and him was not only a dependency relationship, but also a master-disciple relationship and a son-in-law relationship.

The stronger the Red Dragon Patriarch is after he is reincarnated as a Heavenly Ghost, the more advantageous it will be for him.

At least, it will be easier when searching for the remnants of Shengya Mountain.

Having said this, Wei Tu did not hesitate and immediately informed Gong Shulan about his plans with the Chilong Ancestor.

"When Scorpio is reborn, I will remove the spiritual restraints in your body and set you free."

He said.

"Really?"

Gong Shulan was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that after despair, she would see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"This is true."

Wei Tu shook his head and smiled, and replied again.

Although the friendship between him and Gong Shulan was not very deep and there were grievances in the past, after hundreds of years, the old friend was like a fallen leaf, gradually withering. He was happy to see an old friend shining in the world of immortal cultivation again.
