Chapter 82: Cult Base

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

No matter how difficult things are in this world, there are always people who want to give it a try. This ghost country on earth was built by someone.

Similarly, Zhang Yuelu also wanted to try to kill an ancient immortal completely.

So soon after Zhang Yuelu was promoted to the eighth deputy hall master, he led his men to leave Yujing and was responsible for eliminating a group of demons from the Lingshan witch cult.

Because Tiangang Hall had lost a deputy hall master, which directly led to the resignation of the former hall master Ning Lingge, so Cihang Zhenren allocated a second-grade spiritual officer to Zhang Yuelu as the hall master, who was responsible for Zhang Yuelu's safety.

Zhang Yuelu was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter. If she had an accident, it would undoubtedly affect her master's next competition for the position of the grand master, so she did not refuse.

Zhang Yuelu took the "Yinglong" and came to the sky above Yongzhou again.

The Dao Sect will not repeat the same mistake. Just after the meeting in the Golden Palace, a first-class innocent Taoist priest and two first-class spiritual officials invaded Wu Luo's kingdom of God. Although they fought in Wu Luo's home field, all three of them were injured to varying degrees and needed years of recuperation, but Wu Luo still paid a sufficient price. Now Wu Luo can only close the kingdom of God and lick her wounds silently. If Wu Luo dares to come to the world rashly, she will usher in her first death.

This is undoubtedly a warning from the Dao Sect to the ancient immortals. If any ancient immortal dares to cross the line, then the Dao Sect does not mind letting this ancient immortal sleep in the first death, even if the Dao Sect has to pay some price for it. In terms of the foundation of the Dao Sect, this price is not unbearable.

"Yinglong" began to land.

There is a manor about 200 miles away from where "Yinglong" landed.

This manor belongs to the local gentry. Many local dignitaries will gather here to feast and have fun. It is a kind of a house that is not a house. After all, it is not open to the public and is a completely private place.

For many people in the martial arts world, this large manor is heavily guarded, and the servants and guards inside are all top-notch masters. It is undoubtedly a den of dragons and tigers. Without the cultivation of the Return to the True Reality stage, rushing in rashly is to seek death. Even masters in the Return to the True Reality stage dare not guarantee that they can retreat unscathed.

However, for the Taoist sect, this is just a not-so-troublesome stronghold, suitable for newcomers like Zhang Yuelu to practice.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Everything has a process. You can't let Zhang Yuelu attack the main altar of Lingshan Witch Cult now. Even if Zhang Yuelu really has the ability to command and dispatch, it is not in line with the rules of the Taoist sect.

The Taoist sect has long known that this is the stronghold of the Lingshan Witch Cult, but for various reasons, it has not touched it. This has to mention the analogy of the "dung pit". It is better to gather in one place and put it under your own surveillance than to make it everywhere.

Now the Taoist sect wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so it's time to move it.

Zhang Yuelu did not wear the Taoist crane cloak, but changed into the attire of a young man from an aristocratic family. Thanks to her superb disguise, her voice, Adam's apple, and chest were all seamless, and people could not tell that she was actually a woman.

Next to Zhang Yuelu stood a man in armor, wearing a cloak over the armor, which made him look particularly burly. He was the second-rank spiritual officer sent by Cihang Zhenren.

Then there were the heads including Lingquanzi, Xu Kou, Sun Yongfeng and others. In addition, there were some unfamiliar faces, all of whom were the heads who originally served under Shangguan Jing.

Zhang Yuelu looked around at everyone and said, "Although I, as the deputy hall master, should not return to danger, I still want to see with my own eyes what the interior of this evil cult base looks like. If we go in directly, there will only be broken walls and ruins on the ground, and we can't see anything."

Sun Yongfeng naturally followed the deputy hall master's lead and immediately echoed.

Lingquanzi and others disagreed. The main reason was Zhang Yuelu's safety. If Zhang Yuelu had any accident, none of them would be able to escape responsibility.

Zhang Yuelu did not emphasize his realm and cultivation, but just said: "We still have a second-grade spiritual officer, don't you think so, Xu Lingguan?"

Everyone was silent.

Although the spiritual officer is lower than the Taoist priest, the second-grade spiritual officer is much higher than the fourth-grade Taoist priest, that is, only Cihang Zhenren can mobilize. In terms of rank, even Zhang Yuelu is not as good as this spiritual officer.

Xu Lingguan said: "I will be responsible for the safety of Deputy Hall Master Zhang."

Since the spiritual officer, who is much higher than others, said so, others can't say anything more.

Zhang Yuelu ordered: "I, Xu Lingguan, and Xu Kou, the three of us will go, and the rest of the people will wait at the designated location."

The others accepted the order in unison.

Zhang Yuelu asked someone to lead three horses over, climbed on the horses, and went to the manor.

She did not intend to sneak in, but to enter openly. As for the identity issue, it was never a problem for the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect could forge an identity without any flaws, and even had the ability to turn this fake identity into a real person.

The identity used by Zhang Yuelu was a fake identity that the Taoist sect had operated for a period of time and gained the trust of the evil cult monster. It was usually very mysterious and did not show up. Under this identity, several Taoist disciples worked together to build a fake but extremely real person through the huge financial resources of the Taoist sect.

Zhang Yuelu used this identity not to pretend to be a pig but to see the true face of these cult demons. After all, the cult demons were trapped in a desperate situation and fought as trapped beasts, and the cult demons cried bitterly and repented after being caught. Monsters are not what they are.

Zhang Yuelu was very curious, why did these people go against the Taoist sect, why did they believe in the ancient immortals, and what should they be like in normal times? After all, if you want to eradicate these evil cults, you must first understand them. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.

So Zhang Yuelu disguised himself as a young man from a noble family and came here with two followers.

The manor didn't have many doubts and let it go happily.

The person who received Zhang Yuelu was an old and prudent butler. He had heard about the reputation of this fake identity and was very enthusiastic. At the same time, he said cryptically: "There are just a few competitions. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"

The fake identity Zhang Yuelu used was Lu. He was a rich young man who had not seen much of the world. This time he came to open his eyes.

Zhang Yuelu raised his eyebrows without showing any timidity: "What kind of arena are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand."

It is understandable that the young master from an aristocratic family is not used to those slang words full of worldly wisdom. The housekeeper was not surprised and said: "There are some who box, some who play with weapons, and some who use fire guns. I wonder what the young master likes?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Xu Kou.

The reason why I brought Xu Kou with me was because Xu Kou used to be a Qingluan Guard, and he had been in the local Taoist government for a long time and had contact with various religions and nine streams, so he was more familiar with these Taoisms.

Xu Kou said: "Sir, generally speaking, fire guns end too quickly and weapons are too bloody. Boxing is better."

Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "Then boxing."

Under the guidance of this steward, Zhang Yuelu and the others entered a passage that slanted downwards. There were many forked roads in the passage, leading to different places.

The butler led the three people into one of the forks. At the end was a private room. The entire wall was covered with glass windows that were very fashionable at the time. You could clearly see hundreds of people packed in, shouting at the top of their lungs at the ring. There were many women among them. Their faces were flushed, probably because of the atmosphere, and they were not wearing middle coats. They intentionally left the collars of their coats open, exposing their waists.

Zhang Yuelu was stunned.

It turns out this is boxing.

There is no essential difference between fighting crickets, cocks, and dogs. It is nothing more than replacing chickens and dogs with real people.

Zhang Yuelu narrowed her beautiful eyes and concealed her unhappiness well.

The butler explained: "Sir, these glasses are all single-layer glass shipped from the West. You can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside."

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

The housekeeper pointed to a secret door in the corner and said, "If you want a girl..."

Just imagine,

"There's no need for vulgar fans." Zhang Yuelu was a conservative woman and refused without hesitation.

The butler said no more and said, "By the way, you can still place a bet."

Zhang Yuelu could no longer refuse and gave Xu Kou a look.

Xu Kou took out ten worry-free coins, equivalent to one hundred yuan of peace money, and said to the housekeeper: "Try the water first."

"I understand." The butler smiled happily. Although one hundred Taiping was not a lot, it was not a small amount either. After all, it was just the beginning and the days were still long. There was no need to worry about not having a lot of money.

The butler exited the private room.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at the expensive imperial concubine's couch that could accommodate two people, but did not sit down. He just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the arena below.

At this moment, the three people stepped onto the ring.

The host introduced the identities of the other two people. They were both well-known people in the world. They either owed money and were forced to enter the ring, or they were in urgent need of money and came here to box.

So it is conceivable that the other arenas use swords or fire guns, and maybe there are down-and-out Taoist disciples or soldiers of the men in black.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Daomen actually allows such a place to exist?"

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish." Xu Lingguan, who had been silent, said.

Zhang Yuelu was noncommittal.

Xu Kou said: "This kind of custom seems to have come from the west. After all, they are barbarians."

Zhang Yuelu sarcastically said: "Everyone

.

Said that the barbarians looked up to the saints for their enlightenment, but ended up being enlightened by them? Who are the barbarians? Don't blame your own problems on others. "

Xu Kou coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

While talking, the host had already left the ring, and the two Jianghu people officially started fighting.

At first, the two of them were a little cautious and kept going in circles, but soon the edges of the ring were burning with flames and began to slowly shrink towards the middle.

This forces the two of them to decide the winner before the arena turns into a sea of ​​​​fire, and they must use the most ferocious fighting style.

Coupled with the almost roaring and howling cheers from the surrounding audience.

The two finally fought together.

The punches hit the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
