Chapter 565: Luqiu Jinyuan Takes the Bait, a War Is About to Break Out (4k2, Please Subscribe)

A few days later.

In Yuanjun Island, in a magnificent but simply decorated hall, Luqiu Jinyuan was kneeling behind a desk, handling government affairs.

He was dressed in a white robe, with long hair draped over his shoulders, and his expression was indescribably calm and composed. He kept writing on the memorials, about his political views on state affairs.

The palace maids standing on both sides listened to the "swish" sound of Luqiu Jinyuan's brush scratching the paper, and their faces showed admiration from time to time.

The Luqiu clan has been multiplying for tens of thousands of years. Even though there are restrictions from the top, the number of clan members has reached an extremely terrifying number, nearly ten million.

They are one of these ten million people.

And Luqiu Jinyuan, the "prince" born from the concubine's bloodline, is undoubtedly their pride and their "sweetheart".

However, unlike the calmness on his face, Luqiu Jinyuan is now a little worried in his heart.

——Because he couldn't figure out the real reason why Luqiu Qingfeng transferred so much "ancestral blood" from the clan treasury.

In the world of immortal cultivation, strength comes first.

In the Luqiu clan, "ancestral blood" is almost equivalent to a realm breakthrough.

Although he has advantages in all aspects, but... as long as Luqiu Qingfeng breaks through the late Yuanying stage, the clan leaders will once again look favorably on Luqiu Qingfeng, the ninth princess.

The reason is that Luqiu Qingfeng in the late Yuanying stage can become one of the decision-makers in the clan.

It will fundamentally distance itself from him as the reserve king.

Even though he thinks that Luqiu Qingfeng's possibility of breaking through in a short period of time is not high, what if it happens?

"It is suspected that a Soul Devouring Wood cultivator has appeared in Yanfeng Island."

At this time, Luqiu Jinyuan suddenly saw a piece of intelligence case sent yesterday on the table.

Seeing this intelligence case, Luqiu Jinyuan's right hand holding the pen paused for a moment, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"May God have mercy on you?"

"Soul Devouring Wood? Any news about the Soul Devouring Wood?"

Luqiu Jinyuan looked excited, thinking that he was blessed by God. After stalking in the Red Algae Sea for so long, he finally found the "lost" Soul Devouring Wood for more than a hundred years.

Soul Devouring Wood is a shortcut to becoming a strong man.

Whether he uses it himself or on his loyal subordinates, it is a good thing for him.

But unfortunately, more than a hundred years ago, his clone "Wu Fang" died while chasing hostile monks, so that the Soul Devouring Wood that was hard to get from the ruins of Feishe Island was lost.

Because the clone died, his original body did not know who killed "Wu Fang" and took away the "Soul Devouring Wood".

——Including the information about the Soul Devouring Wood, he also learned it from other Nascent Soul cultivators in the ruins of Feishe Island after sensing the death of "Wu Fang".

However, at this moment, Luqiu Jinyuan was not keen on revenge. He had only one goal, which was to seize the "Soul Devouring Wood"!

"No matter whether Luqiu Qingfeng is preparing for a breakthrough, as long as I break through to the late Nascent Soul before her... the winner will still be me!" Luqiu Jinyuan's eyes flashed, thinking secretly.

With his qualifications, using the "Soul Devouring Wood" is not very cost-effective. After all, this move will reduce his potential to break through the God Transformation and make his path to the God Transformation more rugged... But Luqiu Jinyuan knows his own business. He does not think that he is an "exception" in the Luqiu clan, who can easily break the bloodline confinement in his body and break through the God Transformation realm.

——The bloodline of the True Spirit family will make these bloodline cultivators stronger than ordinary cultivators in the early stage of cultivation.

The strength of the bloodline is equivalent to the upper limit of their realm.

However, once they reach the upper limit of this realm, it will be extremely difficult for them to improve their cultivation.

This is why the Luqiu clan has been a quasi-god clan for many years, living in the Red Algae Sea, and it is difficult to transform into a "venerable force" that controls the Neixu Sea.

Therefore, Luqiu Jinyuan does not mind adding some more difficulties on his way to break through the path of god transformation.

What can be caught is the real one!

"Mobilize all the spies in the Fox Eagle Guard. I want to see the specific whereabouts of this person within a month."

After a while, several talismans came out of the palace and turned into rainbow lights, carrying Luqiu Jinyuan's will and flying to various places on Yuanjun Island.

...

The Fox Eagle Guard is an intelligence agency controlled by Luqiu Jinyuan.

Wei Tu already knew this news clearly in the memory of the Earth Spider Mother.

This time, the "Soul Devouring Wood Monk" that Luqiu Jinyuan found was a "bait" he deliberately threw to the Black Owl.

"Next, we just have to wait for Lvqiu Jinyuan to take the bait step by step."

In the boudoir of Earth Spider Mother, Spider Heart Sect.

Wei Tu sat cross-legged. After taking the intelligence jade slip from Earth Spider Mother, he glanced at it and thought.

Wulao Mountain is too far away from Yuanjun Island.

Controlling this "conspiracy" from Wulao Mountain will inevitably make the information he obtains lose timeliness.

Therefore, the headquarters of Spider Heart Sect, "Spider Heart Island", located in the territory of Donghua Monster Country, not far from Yuanjun Island, has become the perfect place for him to sit at the headquarters and hide.

Moreover, after arriving at Spider Heart Island, he can also reduce the risk of...Earth Spider Mother being captured alive by him.

——With him monitoring Earth Spider Mother, no matter how dissatisfied this woman is and how much she hates him, she has to greet him with a smile.

For example, at this moment, after Earth Spider Mother handed the intelligence jade slip to Wei Tu, she stood by like a maid, with a well-behaved face, without the high profile of being the leader of a sect.

"Master, do you need a meal?"

After seeing Wei Tu read the jade slips, Mother Earth Spider clenched her teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on her pink face, and she spoke to Wei Tu in a gentle and orchid-like tone.

While she was talking, Mother Earth Spider already had a bowl of soup in her hand that was full of energy and taste.

"This is the nourishing spiritual porridge that the slave family specially ordered the spiritual chef to cook for the master. It contains forty-eight kinds of rare elixirs..."

The Mother Earth Spider knelt on her knees, gently mixed the soup with her bare hands, scooped up a piece of elixir root that looked like a thick potato with a jade spoon, and slowly handed it to Wei Tu's mouth.

"No need!" Wei Tu's attitude was cold and he directly rejected Mother Earth Spider's kindness and waved her hand to stay away from him.

A strong person may not be as proud as a strong person.

When he captured this woman alive, she had already expressed her willingness to be his concubine in order to find a way out.

Not long ago, after he made it clear that as long as she helped him assassinate Luqiu Jinyuan, he would let her become his subordinate after the incident was completed, this woman became even more flattering to him.

The service was almost meticulous.

It's just... Wei Tu is still a little uncomfortable with this woman's fawning.

For one thing, he has always been an ascetic.

Only more than a hundred years ago, when he broke through the Nascent Soul realm and felt that he was an ancestor, he indulged a little and took "Yan Xiaolan" as his concubine.

Between them, there was a grudge between him and the old mother of the Earth Spider to kill her son.

He didn't know what Old Mother Earth Spider thought, but with this feud, no matter how big-hearted he was, she would still feel like she was having trouble with her, let alone enjoy Mother Earth Spider's service with peace of mind.

"Don't worry! As long as this matter is successful, Mr. Wei will spare your life. A dead middle-stage Nascent Soul or a living middle-stage Nascent Soul, Wei knows which one is more valuable."

Wei Tu glanced at Mother Earth Spider and reassured her.

What he said was true.

Due to the restriction of the "evil method of serving spirits", Old Mother Earth Spider is his most loyal servant. As long as he thinks about it, this beautiful body in front of him will immediately explode and die, becoming a corpse.

Therefore, just to maximize profits, he would not send this woman on the road after killing Luqiu Jinyuan.

——The value of Mother Earth Spider lies not only in her strength, but also in the "Spider Heart Sect" she masters.

For example, the "movements" of the Fox Eagle Guards that he knew just now were obtained by members of the Spider Heart Sect one by one.

In addition, rescuing "Ancestor Luo" will inevitably require the efforts of the elder of Ruyilou, Mother Earth Spider.

After all, the difficulty is very different between taking action directly and rescuing from within.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, Xue Hongmian forced a smile, took a few steps back, and kept an appropriate distance from Wei Tu, neither too far nor too close.

…

Five days later.

Under the arrangement of Wei Tu, Fu Zhizhou, the "Soul-Swallowing Wood Monk", once again showed his presence in the Donghua Demon Kingdom.

Soon, the leader of the Fox Eagle Guard "Black Fox" led more than a dozen Jindan monks to block Fu Zhizhou's way, and a fierce battle broke out with Fu Zhizhou.

Black Fox is one of the few Yuanying monks under Luqiu Jinyuan, and his realm is in the early stage of Yuanying.

It stands to reason that with the strength of Black Fox and the support of more than ten golden elixirs from the Fox Eagle Guard, Fu Zhizhou, the "new Nascent Soul", can be retained.

But unfortunately, with Wei Tu calculating in his head and not doing it intentionally, Black Fox and others ended up in failure.

Fu Zhizhou's "explosion" of strength cut off one of his arms, and he fled in panic with his Nascent Soul leaving his body.

After learning of this battle report, Luqiu Jinyuan did not go out in person, but sent his only confidant, the middle-stage Nascent Soul monk, to take action.

This person's name is "Luqiu Guangheng" and he is respectfully called "Elder Guang" by the Luqiu clan. He is responsible for guarding the clan treasury.

He was also the vanguard who helped Luqiu Jinyuan and forced Luqiu Qingfeng into self-imprisonment at the clan meeting not long ago.

However, the real reason why Lu Qiu Jinyuan trusted Lu Qiu Guangheng and was willing to send him out to "seize the treasure" at this moment was that Lu Qiu Guangheng was his biological father.

Even though he was a "prince" of the same lineage, his starting point was not comparable to that of ordinary members of the Luqiu clan.

Of course, this relationship has not been publicized by him and Lu Qiu Guangheng, and has been kept secret.

He...has always been Lu Qiu Guangheng's illegitimate son.

"Don't worry, Jin Yuan."

"My father will definitely help you get this soul-swallowing tree."

Elder Guang had an old face and held a wooden staff. After hearing Luqiu Jinyuan's request, he agreed without hesitation, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

For hundreds of years, Luqiu and Jinyuan asked him for little.

Although this is not the first time, in terms of importance, it is definitely among the top three in the past.

"A newly promoted Nascent Soul, no matter how capable he is, cannot escape his father's pursuit."

Elder Guang smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence.

A tiger son has no dog father.

In terms of strength, although he is not as good as his son Luqiu Jinyuan, a "pure-blood descendant", he is not even a little stronger than the average middle-stage Nascent Soul.

Catching Fu Zhizhou, a new Yuanying, is definitely a success.

"Thank you father."

Hearing this, Lu Qiu Jinyuan nodded calmly, not having any doubts about the strength of his biological father, "Elder Guang". He bowed and thanked him.

"I'm on Yuanjun Island, waiting for good news about dad."

Luqiu Jinyuan hesitated for a moment and then said again.

Back then, before the opportunity that could change his fate, he, the "illegitimate son", did not receive any attention or love from Elder Guang... He even had very few opportunities to meet Elder Guang, his biological father.

If it was not necessary, he was very reluctant to ask Elder Guang, his biological father, to run a trip for him and take action.

Because it would be a favor.

But... this time today, it was very necessary.

"It's very dangerous!"

Luqiu Jinyuan was calm and made a judgment.

From the appearance of Fu Zhizhou... to the defeat of Black Fox and the forced escape of Yuanying, there was no doubt during this period.

However, if the previous incident - the destruction of his clone "Wu Fang" was added, it would be very suspicious.

Luqiu Jinyuan knew the character of his clone very well.

After all, the clone was equivalent to him.

He would not carry the precious treasure "Soul Devouring Wood" and get involved in danger without being sure.

In other words, his clone "Wu Fang" encountered something unexpected and was forced to die, which led to the "Soul Devouring Wood" falling into Fu Zhizhou's hands.

He would not easily take action if he did not understand this "accident".

Of course, it is also possible that he was too suspicious.

Fu Zhizhou's capture of the Soul Devouring Wood was just a coincidence!

However, if it was really a coincidence, it would be enough for his father "Lüqiu Guangheng" to take action this time.

At most, he felt uncomfortable once more.

However——

Soon, Lüqiu Jinyuan received an "unexpected battle report".

This battle report was not the news of his father Elder Guang's victory, nor was it the news of his defeat, but... a letter of help from his father Elder Guang to him.

The letter described the process of this battle.

At first, everything went smoothly.

After his father "Elder Guang" found Fu Zhizhou's trace, he immediately began to chase him.

But just when he was about to succeed, a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage suddenly appeared, stopped Elder Guang, and started a fight with Elder Guang.

Elder Guang did not know this cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage, but from the words they spoke during the fight... Elder Guang could tell that this person had a history with Fu Zhizhou, and that the Soul Devouring Wood was a gift he had given to Fu Zhizhou.

As for the strength of this strange cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage...

According to Elder Guang's estimation, he was equal to himself, slightly stronger.

"A strange cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage..."

"Everything is clear!"

"It should be this person who saw the Soul Devouring Wood in Wu Fang's hand, and then stole the treasure and killed people!"

After taking a quick look, Luqiu Jinyuan made the corresponding judgment.

Stealing treasures and killing people is very common in the world of immortal cultivation.

Moreover, the news of the Soul Devouring Wood, a treasure, was not strictly blocked. Only Wu Fang knew about it. When it was in the ruins of Feishe Island, it had already spread among those powerful Nascent Souls.

After the "Wu Fang" treasure robbery, it was not uncommon for Yuanying strongmen to rob people on the road.

"You can take action now!"

Lvqiu Jinyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he flicked his sleeves and immediately turned into a green-winged divine bird about ten feet long, flying out of Yuanjun Island at a very fast speed and rushing to the battlefield.

Now, even if there were no previous speculations.

Considering the safety of Elder Guang, he also had to flee to the battlefield and rush to support.

After all, it is not easy to have a "loyal" confidant in the middle stage of Yuanying.
