Chapter 246: Jinling Helm Bankruptcy, the Elder Runs Away with His Lover
Chapter 246: Jinling Helm Bankruptcy, the Elder Runs Away with His Lover
Chapter 246: Jinling Duo went bankrupt, and the elder ran away with his lover
Ji Mengli was caught off guard. Her mind was originally on the demon-suppressing master outside, and Lu Zhan suddenly pounced on her without her being prepared.
When she felt the man's hands around her waist, Ji Mengli suddenly came to her senses and quickly shook Lu Zhan away: "Get out of here!"
“Elder, what are you doing?” Lu Zhan pretended to be wronged and frowned: “I am doing this to protect you!”
As an elder, Ji Mengli must have a life-saving magic weapon in her hand. He just pounced over to find her storage ring.
There was nothing on the waist... nor on the hands... Lu Zhan looked at Ji Mengli's chest, which was about to burst out. Could it be that the storage ring was stuck in there?
Ji Mengli didn't listen to his excuses and flew into a rage: "Everyone calm down, anyone who causes trouble again will be executed on the spot!"
The crowd suddenly became quiet, and no one doubted Ji Mengli's words. The elder looked gentle and kind, but he was actually cruel and ruthless.
Ji Mengli exhaled and quickly assessed the current situation.
Although we don't know how the news was leaked, it is certain that there was a spy.
But the most important thing now is not to find the spy, because even if the spy is found, it will be of no help.
What's more, spies cannot be found just by talking, so now we still have to find a suitable way to escape.
Thinking of escaping unscathed with everyone while being surrounded by three hundred demon-suppressing masters is simply a pipe dream... Ji Mengli looked towards the tomb behind him with an uncertain expression.
Blackwater No. 2 got up after being kicked away and angrily asked, "Who kicked me just now?"
"I'm sorry, Captain. I was too excited just now. I wanted to protect the elder so much." Lu Zhan said with his head lowered, looking as if he was admitting his mistake.
Blackwater No. 2 naturally didn't believe this nonsense. This kid was really smart and clearly wanted to take advantage of the elders in the chaos.
Blackwater No. 2 was filled with envy and jealousy. If he had known earlier, he would have pounced on him and gotten a hug... Blackwater No. 2 was filled with emotion, but he had no time to settle accounts with Lu Zhan. The more important thing now was how to get out.
He was not as panicked as the other evil cultivators, but instead was filled with great passion.
At this critical moment, he thought of Master Lu’s exercises!
Although Hall Master Lu is not trustworthy, after studying late into the night, Blackwater No. 2 found that Hall Master Lu's exercises were very useful!
It describes in detail the various emergencies encountered in the right way!
For example now...
When a group of people gather to do bad things and are suddenly surrounded by righteous people, the first thing to do is to determine the number of people from the righteous group.
If the number of people is small, just attack directly. If the number of people is large, just surrender directly. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood!
Blackwater No. 2's spiritual sense moved, sensing the aura of the masters outside, and was immediately shocked. There were more than a hundred demon suppressors outside?
At least three hundred!
For this operation, Chu Huaizheng mobilized all the troops in Jinling and borrowed reinforcements from the neighboring Runzhou overnight.
“Elder, how about we surrender?” Blackwater No. 2 immediately made the right choice: “There are so many demon-suppressing masters outside, and their realms are similar to ours. If it’s a one-on-one fight, we can still fight, but they are fighting in a group. There are about a hundred of us and three hundred of them. We can’t beat them with three against one!”
How could they possibly escape? Since the other side had the upper hand, their best option was to surrender decisively. A meaningless resistance might cost them their lives, but surrendering would allow them to survive.
Blackwater No. 2 was glad that he had done the exercises, otherwise he would not have been so rational. It is said that knowledge is power and it can save his life at critical moments.
Hearing his trusted subordinate say this, Ji Mengli flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you! Even if the Demon Suppression Bureau comes, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Everyone follow me into the tomb!"
Ji Mengli's expression was uncertain. She naturally knew how many demon-suppressing masters were outside. They had no chance of winning, but they could not just sit there and wait to die.
Even if the Demon Suppression Bureau has surrounded this hilltop, the tomb of the ancient powerful being is a different world and must cover a large area. If they enter the tomb now, they may be able to get out from the other side.
The Demon Suppression Bureau only knows that they are active here, but they definitely don’t know the situation inside the tomb. This is an opportunity.
Blackwater No. 2 wanted to persuade the elder to surrender, but when he sensed the murderous look in the elder's eyes, he shut up instantly.
The other Black Water Sect disciples responded immediately.
"The elder is right. I would rather die than surrender!"
"Let's fight those bastards from the right path!"
"Hahahaha, even though we don't know who the undercover is, whoever says to surrender might be the undercover!"
"..."
Blackwater No. 2's eyelids jumped. He just made the right choice, why is it related to him?
“Elder, they are slandering me!” Blackwater No. 2 raised his hands quickly and cursed at the Demon Suppression Division to prove his innocence: “I will never reconcile with the righteous path!”
Lu Zhan: “…”
Looking at the iron-willed appearance of these guys, Lu Zhan was speechless.
He couldn't find Ji Mengli's storage ring, so he could only follow Ji Mengli not far away in order to be able to respond to any situation.
At the same time, Lu Zhan quietly released the three brothers from Suzaku Valley and asked them to blend into the crowd and steal things.
With so many evil cultivators, even if one could extract a little silver from each of them, it would be a considerable sum.
Make some money now, otherwise everything will be confiscated later.
The three brothers from Suzaku Valley were already fully armed. They concealed their ghostly aura and took advantage of the chaos to crawl into the crowd. They did not attract the attention of the evil cultivators. Perhaps it was that the aura of the evil cultivators was even heavier than their own evil aura... and directly covered their aura.
After successfully blending into the crowd, the three brothers from Suzaku Valley did not dare to relax, because the task assigned to them by Lu Zhan was a bit difficult.
Steal something?
They are disciples of Suzaku Valley. Even if they die, they are still men of steel. How could Lu Zhan let them steal things?
The three ghosts were indignant and tried to steal things.
The movements are extremely skillful.
...
"Rumble--"
After Ji Mengli stabilized the morale of the troops, she walked to the entrance of the tomb, and a phantom flame burst out from her palm and hit the entrance of the tomb.
The two maids who knew the Dragon-Seeking Technique took out a compass and cooperated with Ji Mengli.
After a while, the water ripples trembled slightly, and gradually condensed into a door.
Everyone held their breath. No one knew what dangers were inside the tomb, and no one wanted to be the first to go in.
Seeing that everyone was standing still, Ji Mengli waved her hand gently and helped her men enter the tomb.
She casually arrested two Black Water Sect disciples and threw them in.
The other evil cultivators lowered their heads instantly, not daring to look the elder in the eye, fearing that they would be the next one.
At this time, Yang Kui's roaring voice came from outside: "Listen up, people from the Black Water Sect inside, you have been surrounded, you have been surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, there may be a way out, but there is no way out if you resist stubbornly!"
When Lu Zhan recognized Yang Tou'er's voice, he immediately felt very familiar with it.
Ji Mengli had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes were shining with a faint light, showing a hint of anxiety.
When the Black Water Sect disciples heard this, they lost most of their previous enthusiasm and looked anxiously at the entrance of the tomb, waiting for the response from the two stepping stones.
If there is a problem inside the tomb, then they have really been caught in a trap by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"Elder, it's safe inside!"
Soon, the voices of the two Black Water Sect disciples were heard from behind the door.
Ji Mengli lost all her charm and said coldly: "Go in."
The evil cultivators immediately ran into the tomb. Now there were demon-suppressing masters everywhere outside, and they had only a chance of survival if they entered the tomb.
Lu Zhan watched coldly, deeply aware of the cruelty between the evil cultivators. Their companions were thrown in as stepping stones, but no one felt sad at all, only relieved.
The stepping stone that was thrown in had no complaints and responded honestly from the other side.
Under this model, it would be strange if the Black Water Sect could become big and strong.
Lu Zhan dodged and followed them in. Their original purpose was to force the Black Water Sect into the tomb to explore the way.
……
The entrance to the tomb was extremely narrow at first, but it gradually became wider as more people came in. By the time Lu Zhan entered, it was unobstructed.
The further we walked inside, the darker it became. After about twenty meters, the front suddenly became clear and there seemed to be light.
Lu Zhan ran out quickly, and after seeing the scene in the tomb, he suddenly felt a little confused.
It was completely different from the tomb I imagined. Not only was there no solemn and majestic tomb palace, there was nothing at all...
Lu Zhan blinked and looked at this "tomb of the powerful" in a daze.
There was nothing in sight ahead, not even a blade of grass could be seen...
This was extremely inconsistent with Lu Zhan's imagination. Even if the tomb of the ancient powerful being was not as spectacular as the Terracotta Warriors, it should at least have an underground palace.
Could it be that the great man likes the simple forest style? So he buried it directly on the spot?
While Lu Zhan was thinking, he heard the incredulous voices of the Black Water Sect disciples.
"What's going on? Where's the tomb? Why is there nothing there?!"
"My second uncle's tomb is more luxurious than this!"
"Oh no! Is this a trap set by the Demon Suppression Bureau? We are caught in a trap!!"
"I sense a stone tablet ahead, let's go take a look!"
"..."
There was a commotion among the crowd, apparently offended by the simple tomb. If it were any other time, it would be a waste of time at most.
But now they all rely on the tomb to save their lives, and the appearance of the tomb is undoubtedly a devastating blow to them.
The disciples of the Black Water Sect rushed towards the stone tablet, hoping to get an answer.
Ji Mengli's heart sank as she rushed forward, arriving in front of the stone tablet almost instantly.
The stone tablet was very simple, as if it was a piece of stone that was dug up temporarily and inserted there. There was a line of large characters written on it:
"Hahaha, this tomb is my suspected tomb. You've been fooled, right?"
This line of words was written in ancient characters, but next to the words, the tomb owner thoughtfully annotated the translation, making it difficult not to understand.
The Black Water Sect disciples suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. They stared at this scene in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
Even Ji Mengli was trembling and filled with hostility.
The current situation is beyond everyone's expectations.
The original intention of the Black Water Sect to come to Pingjinding was to make a fortune by robbing tombs, but they didn't expect the news to leak and they were surrounded by the Demon Suppression Division.
Being surrounded by the Demon Suppression Bureau was bad enough, they still had a tomb as a retreat. Who would have thought that this was a suspicious tomb? Not to mention a back door, there was not even a hair, and the area it occupied was pitifully small. Even if they dug a hole to get out, they were still surrounded by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
What is even more unbearable is that in such a dangerous situation, there are still people who act as thieves and steal things in the chaos!
What a beast!
"Who the hell stole my things? Do you have any shame?" An evil cultivator was furious.
Someone nearby replied, "He must be a spy. People from the Black Water Sect would never steal anything!"
As these words fell, Blackwater II suddenly exploded, pulling out a furtive figure from the crowd.
They are not the three brothers from Suzaku Valley, but a disciple from the Black Water Sect.
Blackwater No. 2 was furious: "This guy must be a spy. He is stealing things at this time!"
The captured evil cultivator of the Black Water Sect argued: "Isn't that what we evil cultivators are like? It's our tradition to make money by taking advantage of chaos. If we were to be honest, who would want to be an evil cultivator? Why don't I become a demon-suppressing master? But you can't slander me as a half-..."
He was halfway through his words when Ji Mengli killed him.
