Chapter 224 Who is the pawn?
After the brief meeting ended, Ding Yi sat at the top of the hall and muttered a few words to the servant beside him.
Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly left the main hall and returned shortly afterward with the two of them.
The elders in the main hall looked over and their expressions changed. They discovered that the two men were Ding Yi's two subordinates: Sun Tao and Wang Lin.
Upon entering the main hall and seeing the many elders present, the two immediately showed signs of nervousness. They then stood still, awaiting Ding Yi's instructions.
Ding Yi glanced at the two of them, then slowly said:
"Sun Tao and Wang Lin deserve credit for suppressing the evil spirits this time, and those who have made contributions should be rewarded!"
"Sun Tao, you have rendered meritorious service in killing the enemy. You are hereby granted a mid-level mortal cultivation technique and three Blood Embryo Pills!"
"Wang Lin, you have rendered meritorious service in leading the team. You are hereby awarded a mid-level mortal cultivation technique and five Blood Embryo Pills!"
After Ding Yi finished speaking, Wang Lin and Sun Tao were overjoyed and immediately knelt down on one knee, excitedly shouting:
"Thank you very much, Sect Master!!"
Ding Yi looked at the two people below, nodded in satisfaction, then glanced around the hall and slowly said.
"Gentlemen, I, Li Baozheng, am fair in rewarding and punishing! I will never be stingy! I hope that you will join me in creating the unparalleled glory of the Wanxiang Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged bewildered glances, then all rose to their feet, clasped their hands in greeting to Ding Yi, and said:
"We will definitely follow the sect leader's lead!"
Danyang City, on the border of Qingyi.
Master Fuliu was sitting in a pavilion in the city, drinking fine wine, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the beautiful maid dancing before him, his face full of lewdness.
A month ago, his troops were at the city gates, but a few days later he was invited into the city and treated well, all of which was within his expectations.
The Qingzhou region where the Yin-Yang Palace is located is now under close surveillance by the Baiyun Temple. In addition, he has evidence that the Yin-Yang Palace assassinated his general. Therefore, at this critical juncture, they dare not do anything out of line in the face of his coercion. Instead, they will try to please him.
Sure enough, after his army was stationed outside the city, an envoy came and said that he could come into the city to talk.
Faced with the invitation, Master Fuliu naturally did not refuse, nor did he feel afraid. Instead, he swaggered into the city with the messenger and ordered his soldiers to wait for orders.
Upon entering Danyang City, Master Fuliu made three requests.
First, the Yin-Yang Palace must offer three hundred beauties to accompany him back to Yizhou.
Second, the Yin-Yang Palace must hand over Sun Qiao'er.
Third, the Yin-Yang Palace must provide a piece of glazed bloodstone.
Any one of these three demands is extremely rude, and if it were an ordinary person, they would have been beheaded and their head displayed on the city wall long ago.
However, when this news reached the palace, the palace's attitude was very ambiguous, and they even sent people to talk to Master Fuliu.
It must be said that Master Fuliu was not only bold, but also seized the opportunity very cleverly, just when Baiyun Temple in Bazhou was about to make a move.
At this moment, a fair-skinned man standing next to Master Fuliu slowly spoke:
“Master, after our discussion, we can agree to all but the third of your three requests.”
After the man finished speaking, Master Fuliu remained expressionless for a long while before calmly saying:
"Zhou Si, you know my temper. You almost died just now."
The man named Zhou Si was taken aback upon hearing this, clenching his right fist tightly. He then took a deep breath and said:
"Your Excellency, this is a joint decision made by the ten elders of our Yin Yang Palace, and it cannot be changed."
Upon hearing this, Master Fuliu sighed and then slowly turned his head to look at Zhou Temple.
"Poor fellow, was he deliberately sacrificing a piece to test my resolve?"
As Master Fuliu spoke, a wide smile suddenly appeared on his lips. Then, Zhou Si, who had been sitting upright, suddenly caved in with his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs splattered far and wide, instantly causing the dancing beauties to scream in fright.
"Fu Liu! How dare you! This is Danyang City, not your Supreme Pavilion!!"
Wang Yong, the garrison commander standing next to Zhou Si, immediately placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and roared angrily.
But Master Fuliu merely glanced at the veins on Wang Yong's hand and let out a sneer:
"Want to make a move? Come on then, I want to see if you Yin Yang Palace people dare to lay a hand on me at this time. Look, I've already swaggered in..."
"boom!!"
Before Master Fuliu could finish speaking, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, blasting him and his chair into the ground with a loud explosion.
"Um... I was just thinking about it, I didn't do anything."
Wang Yong stared blankly at the scene, looked at his palm with some uncertainty, and muttered to himself.
"Fu Liu!! Your Taiping Palace dares to secretly collude with the Seven Absolutes Palace to wreak havoc on my Qingzhou!! Today is your death day!!"
A cold voice came from the sky, and after the last word fell, three figures suddenly appeared in the scene.
Wang Yong felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared, and a look of confusion crossed his face.
These three are all elders of the Yin-Yang Palace: Du Liuyin of the Yin-Yang Palace, Li Yunbang of the Yang-Yang Palace, and Qiu Huazi.
"You Yin Yang Palace are insane!! My army is stationed outside the city! With a single command, I can raze the entire Danyang City to the ground!!"
A roar erupted from the smoke and dust, and then Fu Liu's figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the field, looking at the three figures whose bodies were radiating a soft light with a gloomy expression.
"Look what this is!!"
Du Liuyin flung a black object toward Master Fuliu, and the black object slowly hovered in front of Master Fuliu after it got close.
When Master Fuliu saw this object, he was taken aback. Then he reached out and the black object slowly landed in his palm.
"Such a perfect refining technique... perfect aura, perfect capacity, perfect method..."
The moment Master Fuliu saw the black fragment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he went into a frenzy.
"If I could obtain this complete weapon-forging technique, my weapon-forging skills would surely reach a higher level, attaining the realm of the celestial beings!!"
Master Fuliu muttered to himself, forgetting even the three Yin-Yang Palace elders standing beside him.
"Fu Liu! Taiping Palace used you to attract my palace's attention, secretly colluding with Qijue Palace. The evidence is there, what else do you have to say!"
Du Liuyin's face was gloomy. Her favorite disciple, Long Shuiying, had actually died in that seemingly insignificant battle, even though she had the Dragon Pattern Plate!
"Could it be that the palace is really using me as a pawn?"
On the other side, Master Fuliu also snapped out of his daze upon hearing Du Liuyin's words, and at the same time, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
These black fragments were clearly made using the refining techniques of their Taiping Palace, and even the Taiping Sha residue on them was undeniable, which undoubtedly made Fu Liu herself begin to have doubts.
But that shouldn't be the case.
He is the most talented weapon-refining elder in Taiping Palace. He has already achieved the Great Perfection of Divine Soul at a young age, and has the potential to step into the Lu Xian Realm in the future. There is no reason to give up on him.
"What the hell are those bastards in the palace playing at?"
Master Fuliu felt a little flustered; he felt as if he had fallen into a huge quagmire.
