Chapter 672: Searching for the Li Family and Asking for Crime (3000 words, please subscribe)
After dozens of breaths, when he was about to fall into the weak stage of the secret method, he quickly retreated away from Liang Hanqian.
Liang Hanqian wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ling Pengyun during this period.
But Ling Pengyun used the primordial energy of Yin and Yang to increase the strength of his meridians. After falling into a period of weakness, he still retained 30% of his strength and some ability to protect himself.
Coupled with Ling Yunhong's cover, Ling Pengyun also successfully avoided Liang Hanqian's offensive.
After dragging on for more than ten breaths, Liang Hanqian was about to fall into a period of weakness due to the method of increasing his strength. Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to escape, but Ling Pengyun immediately stopped and directly controlled the three heads to stop the "Blue Scaled Giant Elephant". "The beast puppet blocked Liang Hanqian's way.
And directly through the secret method, the three-headed beast puppet exploded the golden elixir in his body, producing an explosion as powerful as a full blow from a fourth or fifth-level golden elixir monk.
Although this kind of power does not threaten Liang Hanqian's life, it is still no problem to stop him for a while.
When the power of the explosion disappeared, Liang Hanqian also fell into a period of weakness because he had used methods to enhance his strength for too long.
This Liang Hanqian could not have the yin and yang Taichu Qi to strengthen his meridians, so his strength was not even one in ten.
Although this person called the giant blue-scaled elephant to his side, he wanted to use the elephant to cover his escape.
But Ling Yunhong had quick eyesight and quick hands. With endless anger and regardless of his physical injuries, he used all his strength to activate the third-level high-grade Lei Yuan Flying Sword, and cut off Liang Hanqian's head with one sword.
However, this man was also ruthless. The moment his head was cut off, he detonated his own golden elixir, erupting with a self-destructive power comparable to a full-strength strike from the ninth level of the golden elixir.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong did not dare to be careless and quickly retreated several thousand feet to avoid the attack.
However, when this person was about to die, he still shouted hello to the giant blue-scaled elephant.
"Fellow Daoist Blue Scales, run as long as you can. I, the descendant of the Liang family, will entrust it to you!"
That blue-scaled giant elephant was originally the guardian spirit beast of the Liang family. It was also trained by the Liang family in the early years. It also had feelings for the Liang family, so it kept Liang Hanqian's words in its heart.
It also took advantage of the good opportunity when Liang Hanqian's self-destruction forced Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong back, and quickly escaped into the distance.
After the battle just now, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong didn't have much energy left, and it was difficult to catch up with the escaped giant elephant.
In addition, this place is close to the boundary of the Hundred Demon Alliance, so they do not dare to stay here for a long time, lest the fluctuations in the battle just now attract the demon cultivators.
They could only quickly clean up the battlefield and rush towards the Righteous Alliance.
A few days later, Ling Pengyun and others finally returned to their base in the Yuan Kingdom, "Qiuyuan Mountain" without any danger.
Ling Pengyun considered that Ling Yunhong’s natal magic weapon was injured on foot and suffered backlash injuries. During the battle with Liang Hanqian and Qiu Yueyou, Ling Pengyun aggravated some injuries. He needed to retreat for a long time, otherwise his foundation would be shaken. So Ling Yunhong went into seclusion to heal his injuries.
As for himself, he reported the interception and killing of the head of the Liang family of the Yuan Dynasty, "Liang Hanqian" and the head of the Qiu family "Qiu Yueyou", to the subordinate power Tianxing Sect, hoping to let the Tianxing Sect Get involved.
After all, the Liang family and the Qiu family are both members of the Li family. If you want to touch people from these two families, you must get the consent of the Li family no matter what.
The Li family is also a large Nascent Soul family, so it would be a bit bad if the Ling family single-handedly came to ask for guilt.
If the Tianxing Sect can participate in this matter, it can also avoid some unnecessary trouble.
When the senior officials of Tianxing Sect learned that Ling was intercepted and killed by the Liang family and the Qiu family, they immediately became furious.
The Tianxing Sect was kind-hearted and brought its forces to support the Li family, but instead was attacked by the Li family's men. This was tantamount to a slap in the face of the Tianxing Sect.
Immediately, "Liu Haochan", the Golden Elixir Perfection cultivator of the Tianxing Sect who had met Ling Pengyun several times, went to find Ling Pengyun in person, and took Ling Pengyun, who was still in the weak stage of the secret method, to find him. The top brass of the Li family asked for an explanation.
at this time.
Besides the Li family's "Maple Leaf Valley", in the lobby of a hospitality hall.
The eldest elder of the Li family, "Li Congtong", who was sitting at the head of the place, frowned after watching the images of the Liang family and the Qiu family intercepting and killing the Ling family recorded on the photo plate in his hand.
His face gradually became gloomy, and after a long while, he put down the photo disk in his hand.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Haochan, the elder of the Tianxing Sect who was also sitting in the hall. Seeing Liu Haochan's face was extremely cold, he also understood that the matter could not be solved.
He sighed helplessly, then slowly opened his mouth and spoke to Ling Pengyun and Liu Haochan who were sitting in the hall.
“Two fellow Taoists, this fact is due to the poor restraint of our clan, which has caused trouble to Fellow Daoist Ling.”
“Fellow Daoist Ling can deal with the remaining members of the Liang family and Qiu family at will, except for the two Fellow Daoist Ling can also take the family's spiritual veins and their wealth at will!"
"So, is Fellow Daoist Ling still satisfied?"
Ling Pengyun nodded lightly and responded.
"It's okay to solve the matter this way, but I still have one more thing to say."
"In the past few years, I have only taken over the alliance's task of destroying the base of the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator of the Hundred Demon Alliance three times, but The information on these three missions was all wrong. "
"And each time it was bigger than the last. The first and second times were all based on the formations of those magic cultivators. But the formation weapon appeared again."
"If my clan leader, Ling Yunhong, and I were not prepared, our clan would have suffered heavy losses both times." "The third time there was an error. , when our clan went to the territory of the Hundred Demons Alliance to destroy the Sand Demon Sect stronghold, the intelligence error that occurred this time was even more outrageous.”
"According to the information I received during the destruction mission from the Zhan Gong Hall of Demon Slayer City, there are only two Golden Core Demon Cultivators in this Sand Demon Sect stronghold, and the mountain guarding array has no array weapons. "
"But not only are there three golden elixirs in the stronghold, but the mountain guarding formation also has array weapons."
"And the noble leader of the war merit hall also has it. I have already been promised that the information will be The number of errors has been reduced to less than 30%, but the mission of destroying the demon cultivator's stronghold that our clan received is still wrong. Is the noble intending to roast me, the Ling family, on the fire? "
"Or are you saying that? , the intelligence department of the Zhan Gong Hall established by the nobles has the personnel arranged by the Liang family and the Qiu family? "
Ling Pengyun doesn't believe that the intelligence that appeared in the Ling family's destruction of the demon cultivator's stronghold several times is wrong with the Liang family and the Qiu family? It doesn't matter.
If not, how could the golden elixirs of the Liang family and the Qiu family ambush the Ling family in advance on the only way to return to the Righteous Alliance when the Ling family's destruction of the Jindan Demonic Cultivation Stronghold suffered the most serious damage?
As soon as these words came out, Li Congtong, the eldest elder of the Li family, was suddenly surprised.
"There is another error in the information about your clan's mission to destroy the Sand Demon Sect's stronghold? Fellow Taoist, have you recorded the images of the Sand Demon Sect's stronghold?"
He said this as early as last year , and learned from "Li Zhong", the leader of the Zhan Gong Hall in Mie Mo Fang City, that the information about the demon cultivator stronghold missions received by the Ling family was wrong.
After all, this matter is indeed a big deal.
Furthermore, in order to stabilize Ling Pengyun, Li Zhong promised that the probability of Ling Pengyun's intelligence errors would definitely be reduced to less than 30%.
If not, there will be corresponding compensation for the death of the Ling monks in battle. This compensation is a bit big, and Li Zhong alone cannot bear it. Naturally, he needs to report it to the family to avoid exposing the incident.
"Of course!"
Ling Pengyun responded, raised his hand and took out a photo disk from the storage bag, and handed it to Li Congtong, the elder of the Li family.
Li Congtong channeled his spiritual power into the photo disk, and images suddenly appeared one after another.
It clearly records that the three golden elixir demon cultivators in the Sand Demon Sect's stronghold in the Hundred Demons Alliance have array weapons with the mountain guarding formation there.
When Li Congtong saw this, his face became darker.
“Fortunately, the Ling family abides by the rules, otherwise the war merit hall established by our Li family in collaboration with the Tianxing Sect will probably lose all credibility.”
“At that time, I will follow the right path. I am afraid that the alliance will exist in name only. I am afraid that those forces below will not work as hard as they do now to sneak into the realm of the Hundred Demon Alliance and destroy the demon cultivator stronghold!"
"Our clan's hope of conquering the Yuan Kingdom before the monster chaos is probably too small! will be destroyed”
Thinking of this, Li Congtong couldn't help but want to kill the clan members who inquired about the Sand Demon Sect's stronghold.
Subsequently, in order to calm the matter, Li Congtong also spoke accordingly.
“Fellow Taoist, this is something my clan’s people who inquired about information did wrong.”
“Our clan is willing to follow the agreement that Friend Daoist made with the clan member of our clan’s Zhan Gong Hall. , and pay the corresponding spiritual stones to the noble clansmen who died in the battle as compensation."
"In addition, our clan is also willing to give out 50,000 spiritual stones to thank the Ling family for their victory in the alliance. A tough nut to crack.”
"I, Li Congtong, can also assure my Taoist friends that next time if the nobles encounter a situation where the intelligence is incorrect, our clan will still follow the current handling method and give the Taoist nobles the greatest preferential treatment."
said At this point, Li Congtong still said something to Liu Haochan, who had never spoken.
“Please also ask Fellow Taoist Liu Haochan of the Tianxing Sect to be a witness!”
Liu Haochan said coldly.
“It’s easy to serve as a witness, but if I hear in the future that the Ling family was tricked by the nobles’ intelligence, resulting in the loss of clan members, and the nobles did not compensate for the corresponding spiritual stones, the alliance’s intelligence department will be controlled by my clan. Come and take care of it.”
"However, after what happened to the Ling family, our sect also feels that it is inappropriate for a noble family to control the intelligence department. The senior leaders of our sect have decided that I will join the intelligence department of the Alliance War Merit Hall. In the future, whatever the intelligence department needs to hand over to The alliance’s intelligence also needs to go through my investigation.”
"In addition, if this happens to the other affiliated forces of our sect, and the nobles fail to handle it properly and cause turmoil, causing those affiliated forces of our sect to leave the alliance, it will have nothing to do with our sect."
Li Congtong trembled when he heard Liu Haochan's request.
The intelligence department of Zhan Gong Tang has always been in the hands of the Li family, and most of the intelligence personnel are also members of the Li family who are embedded in the major forces of the Hundred Demons Alliance.
Once this intelligence department is in the hands of the Tianxing Sect, those members of the Li family who act as spies will be in danger.
Furthermore, this intelligence department is an important part of the Alliance War Merit Hall, and the tasks of destroying demon cultivators released by the War Merit Hall are also operated through this intelligence department.
Once something unexpected happens to this department, the Alliance Battle Hall will also collapse. In contrast, this intelligence department can also make a lot of money.
At this time, Ling Pengyun understood the reason why Tianxing Sect was so keen to help him seek justice from the Li family.
However, he didn't think anything about it.
The Tianxing Sect is using him to ask for the intelligence department of the Zhan Gong Hall from the Li family. Isn't he using the power of the Tianxing Sect to put pressure on the Li family?
