Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

In the building hall of the Fire Thunder Golden Winged Warship, "White Elephant King" Tan Moyun hosted a banquet. In addition to people from the Star Reaching Alliance, there were also Dayan Sect and Chunjun Sect who had arrived in advance.

In the entire hall, there are several rectangular tables arranged with flowers, fine wine, and fruits on them.

There were a lot of guests coming to the hall, at least sixty or seventy people. Fortunately, the hall was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

As soon as He Ping and others entered the hall, they were greeted by the Yue servants brought by Tan Moyun and were respectfully invited to their seats.

The Star Reaching Alliance was the last to arrive. In addition to the two sects Dayan and Chunjun, there were dozens of smaller sects, all of which were invited by the imperial court and had quotas to enter the Abyss Realm.

After everyone sat down, the "White Elephant King" also sat on the seat of the guest of honor. This gentle and elegant ambassador with a face like a crown jade, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes slowly raised his hand, and there were a few words. A musician started to play the pipa, flute, drum and other musical instruments, and started playing music in the hall.

"Come on, you all have come from far away. Let me give you a drink first."

Tan Moyun picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I know that there have been some minor quarrels among the three factions recently, but in Tan's opinion, enemies are easy to break up and hard to make. I hope the three factions can give me some face. This cup Let’s drink some wine. Tan will drink it first as a token of respect.”

After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, the guests on one of the seats stood up and said loudly: "The ambassador is really too polite."

The head of the Dayan Sect is named Tang Tianxing. He wears a jade crown and a gorgeous robe. He exudes a pearly aura. It is not known whether he is practicing some special Taoism. Above his head, there is a faint rainbow. Guangbaoqi.

"We, the Dayan Sect, the Chunjun Sect, and the leader of the Star Reaching Alliance, Yu, just had a small misunderstanding. I didn't expect that this matter would reach the ears of Master Tan..."

Tang Tianxing held the wine glass, glanced at Yu Buxin, and said with a smile: "Leader Yu, I think you and I, as well as Master Gongyang of the Chunjun Sect, should toast Master Tan first."

"It's easy to talk about."

Yu didn't believe it and grinned with a smile on his face.

"This glass of wine should be served first by the humble Taoist, but Master Tang and Mr. Gongyang want to serve this glass of wine in advance, so I am embarrassed to take away their beauty!"

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that a clear line had been drawn, and the face of Tan Moyun and Tang Tianxing was also lost.

Headmaster Gongyang of the Chunjun Sect snorted coldly and looked a little displeased. Tan Moyun, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't take it seriously. He just smiled slightly and didn't care.

When Tang Tianxing heard what Yu didn't believe, he also knew that the leader of the Star Reaching Alliance was a cunning character.

In fact, he originally intended to talk to Yu Buxin in front of Tan Moyun. If Yu Laodao relaxed and agreed, then Tang Tianxing could use the "harmony of the three factions" as an excuse to secretly use some tricks to make the Star Reaching Alliance suffer some hardships during this trip. If you are moved, you will clearly draw a clear line as soon as you come up.

"This Yu doesn't believe me. He was rumored to be a reckless, aggressive and perverse person. Now it seems that he is actually an ambitious and traitorous character. He has been quietly climbing over the years from Lingyun Temple's master to the sect leader. position, and with the help of the three elders of the inner sect, we regained the scattered cultivators and outside masters of several states in one fell swoop, and created this Star Reaching Alliance!"

Tang Tianxing frowned when he thought of this.

Nanling Road is divided into east and west sides by the towering Lulong Mountain Range like a pair of scissors. Even the various forces in the spiritual world are divided into east and west parts, one of which borders Southern Xinjiang. On the west side of the temple, the three pillars of Kongkong Sect, Dayan Sect and Chunjun Sect were once established.

Among these three forces, there are also a large number of independent cultivators, heretic sects, and Yue and barbarian kingdoms.

If you put the Kongkong Sect, Dayan Sect, Chunjun Sect and other forces into the general environment of the spiritual world, they are not worth mentioning. But on the boundary of Nanling Road, they are three local snakes, each serving as the local emperor.

The three sects have formed a tripartite confrontation for at least a period of time. But now, Yu Buxin has established this Star Reaching Alliance and absorbed sects from neighboring states. The momentum has grown several times, and it has immediately surpassed the Dayan sect. He Chunjun, the largest force in the sect, naturally threatened the two sects.

Originally, the Dayan Sect and the Chunjun Sect were not at odds with each other, but when they heard that Yu Buxin had formed the Star Reaching Alliance, Tang Tianxing and the Chunjun Sect's leader Gong Yang Guzhu immediately became vigilant. In order to counter the growing momentum, With the advent of the Star Reaching Alliance, the Dayan Sect and the Chunjun Sect also had to unite.

Tang Tianxing's calculations were not revealed for now, but Gongyang Guzhu, who was sitting in another seat over there, was also thinking secretly.

"Tang Tianxing wanted to use the 'White Elephant King' Tan Moyun to suppress Yu Buxin from the Star Reaching Alliance, but looking at this situation, who would have expected that the 'White Elephant King' is actually an old god and has no intention of getting involved. , this is really strange!”

Gongyang Guzhu, the leader of the Chunjun Sect, is an old monk with long white eyebrows that hang down past his neck. He is over a hundred years old. He has been in charge of the Chunjun Sect for a decade. A monk who practices heretic practice has reached this point in his longevity. , the aura will decay, and people will appear more and more twilight, and Gongyang Guzhu doesn't know what secret method he has practiced, his face is rosy, and he does not have the look of decay and twilight.

"Forget it, 'White Elephant King' Tan Moyun's background is too deep, and he is a member of the imperial court. His calculations are different from those of us in the cultivation world. The matter between the Star Reaching Alliance and us will only If it doesn’t make too big a fuss, he may not be willing to pay too much attention..."

At this moment, Tan Moyun put down the rhinoceros horn wine glass in his hand, coughed a few times, and said: "Everyone, let's not talk about idle talk, let's talk about the business first!"

He raised his hand, and Le Ji next to him also stopped playing, and the guests in the hall also became quiet.

Tan Moyun's face became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Every visitor, in addition to the Star Reaching Alliance, the Dayan Sect, the Chunjun Sect, and several other sects, who have been favored by the imperial court, all have restrictions on entering the Abyss Realm. Quota, over the years, on the one hand, each sect has sent its disciples to the Diyuan Realm for training, and on the other hand, it has also helped the court solve hidden dangers. Both of you, you and I, can be considered as getting what we need and complementing each other."

When Tan Moyun said this, he paused for a moment. Everyone heard that there was something in his words, but they couldn't guess what the White Elephant King had in mind.

"Of course we dare not forget the holy family members of the imperial court."

Gongyang Guzhu quickly stood up and bowed to the void, as if he was feeling nostalgic for the Yujing City located in Zhonghuanzhou.

"Master Tan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. Our family is a small family, but if the court has any instructions, we dare not forget them."

Tan Moyun laughed.

"It's not a big deal. You all know that in the past sixty years, the three mineral veins controlled by the imperial court in the third layer of the abyss, namely Fengpo Cave, Black Hell Pass, and Lingturtle Pond, have almost been harvested. So in the near future, Ten years ago, we discovered another mineral vein. This mineral vein is located in an unknown area in the third layer of the abyss. It is tentatively named 'Zangyin Peak'. I went to investigate it personally and found that there is a spirit hidden there. Jade vein, this spiritual mineral is of extremely high quality, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Lingyu veins?"

Tang Tianxing and Gong Yang Guzhu looked at each other, and both of them were a little silent. From what Tan Moyun meant, it seemed that he hoped that all forces would re-open an unknown area.

Fengpo Cave, Black Prison Pass, and Ling Turtle Pond are all rich mineral areas discovered in the Abyss Realm. The mineral veins there are all in the shallow zone. In addition to being extremely convenient for mining, the location is also located in a relatively safe area.

In addition to demons such as Xuanyin Demon Mandrills and White Bone Bats, the third layer of the Earth Abyss is inhabited by other dangers. The Earth Abyss is located in the earth, and there are many strange and unexplained situations in it. The mineral veins in Podong, Black Prison Pass, and Lingbichi Pond have been developed for a long time, and their safety can be guaranteed.

"From what he said, it should be the Ling Jade vein that was only opened in the past ten years. I wonder if there are any risks in this vein?"

Yu Buxin suddenly spoke.

"As long as the risks do not exceed the benefits, I, the Star Reaching Alliance, are willing to serve the imperial court as a saddle horse!"

"well said."

Tan Moyun nodded.

"The words of Alliance Leader Yu deeply touched my heart. Since the Lingyu mine was just opened not long ago, there are many little monsters like wolf monsters and rat monsters living nearby, who often harass the soldiers who enter the mine. In addition, Another difficulty is that there is a bone bat nest nearby."

"The Bone Bat's lair?!"

Yu didn't believe it and narrowed his eyes.

"Sir Tan, forget it if it is an ordinary monster. Even if we all attack the nest of a monster like the White Bone Bat, we may not be able to capture it."

As soon as he said these words, the monks in the hall also started talking.

The two major demons in the Abyss Realm, the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill, are extremely ferocious, and the White Bone Bat is also extremely difficult to deal with. The adult individuals among the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill are all around four hundred years old, and basically only masters can There are ways to restrain yourself;

As for the White Bone Bats, they are no less generous. After forming a pill, this kind of demon can condense the White Bone True Evil of Yin Ming, which can break the protective aura and various spells. In addition, the powerful individuals among the White Bone Bats can release the White Bone Yin. Ordinary monks do not have much ability to resist such powerful natural spells as Phosphorus Fire and Yin Ming Invisible Radiation.

In the hall, the thoughts among the monks fluctuated, and many people were communicating with each other in the dark using the power of their souls.

"The lair of the White Bone Bat, even if it is a first-class spiritual jade mine, if I go there, wouldn't it be the same as sending me to death?!"

"Six years ago, Taoist Lingye from the Jade Armor Sect met a white-bone bat after entering the Abyss Realm. At that time, Taoist Lingye was carrying the Jade Armor Sect's most powerful magic weapon, the Earth-covering Nine Palace Armor. As a result, He was hit hard by that monster with a bone-white Yin Phosphorus rocket and Yin Ming invisible radiation, and even the treasure armor was turned into ashes!"

"The 'Earth-covering Nine Palace Armor' could be the founder of the Jade Armor Sect. He hunted the hard shell of a black turtle monster in the East China Sea and refined the magical weapon. It is said that the defensive power of the armor is enough to withstand the attacks of Taoist masters. With one blow, this bone bat is so powerful?"

In front of "White Elephant King" Tan Moyun, no one dared to speak boldly. They only communicated with each other using the power of their souls. After hearing about the tragedy six years ago, many people's expressions changed slightly.

"Leader Yu."

Tan Moyun smiled slightly.

"I haven't finished speaking yet..."

He didn't show any sullen expression, but he had an aura of calmness and dignity emanating from him.

"I was rash."

Yu Buxin said quickly: "Sir, please tell me."

"good."

Tan Moyun smiled and said: "First, the white bone bat's nest is just a small nest, and there are less than a hundred monsters in it; second, the leader of the white bone bat has a lifespan of five hundred years. However, most of his descendants are no more than three hundred years old, and there are only a dozen or so who have condensed the inner elixir..."

"This number is not simple, but compared to the normal monster bat nest, this nest is obviously smaller and pitiful."

Gongyang Guzhu said solemnly: "It seems that the five-hundred-year-old monster bat in the lead is a bat mother who was driven out from a large nest. This kind of monster is also very fierce in internal fighting, and its offspring will ask for help." Ancestors challenge, and the loser will be banished.”

"exactly."

Tan Moyun nodded.

"This big monster bat was seriously injured and has been sleeping for the past ten years. Its offspring are not strong enough. This is an opportunity for us. As long as the nest is pulled out, this vein of jade can be mined smoothly. We When I made the suggestion, you all will enter the Abyss Realm this time and join forces with the Lulong Army in my hands and the masters sent by Qian Lin and Zang Jing from the two frontier armies to jointly attack this nest. Of course, I will do the same this time. Take action."

Gongyang Guzhu and Tang Tianxing looked better after hearing "White Elephant King" Tan Moyun explain that he would also take action personally.

"If we combine the forces of all parties present, this matter may still be possible, but if this happens, our losses..."

Tang Tianxing murmured to himself.

"The imperial court is also willing to open up some quotas for hundreds of people. In addition, the party with outstanding performance in entering the Abyss Realm this time can obtain a piece of magic bat refined with the inner elixir of the demon bat as long as it kills five white-bone bats. A magic weapon or a magic weapon of the same level."

Tan Moyun chuckled.

"Of course, this does not hinder the inner elixir you obtained when you hunted the bone bats. The imperial court will not collect the spoils from you during this purge, and there is no need to pay anything extra. This is only limited to this trip to the Abyss."

The White Elephant King's remarks once again aroused widespread thoughts among everyone in the hall. It must be said that the imperial court had given out generous rewards this time, and many monks present were moved.

"The wages of avarice is death!"

He Ping saw the attitudes of many monks present and knew that the matter of clearing the bone bat nest might not be that simple.

"The imperial court has always been very stingy with the output of the Abyss Realm. Every time it enters the Abyss Realm, it has to pay three-tenths of the harvest after returning. This time it is like a big hemorrhage, and it promised such great benefits, among which There must be something wrong.”
