Chapter 401: 400. You Must Help Me (1)
Translator: 549690339
Xian Tian Palace’s Elder Lu was in complete despair.
The change just now had greatly exceeded his understanding.
It wasn’t that he was ignorant, but that no one had ever seen the Soul Heavenly Book, the Blood God Pearl, and the Fusang Tree Heart put together. It was difficult to estimate what the result would be.
At this moment, Lu Jian was certain that the other holy lands had joined forces to make things difficult for Xian Tian Palace.
He was extremely anxious, but he was powerless to deal with it. He could only be anxious.
Under the influence of Chen Luoyang’s ritual, Lu Jian became even more absent-minded and his thoughts became sluggish, making it even harder for him to calm down. His emotions became even more restless.
Chen Luoyang picked up this Xian Tian Palace elder and brought him along as he silently followed behind Xie Buxiu.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
The Blood God Pearl imitated flesh, blood, tendons, and bones, the Fusang Tree Heart acted as a substitute, and the Heavenly Book of the “Soul” character dealt with the problem of the soul.
With all these methods, he should be able to hide from the mountain guarding formation of Xian Tian Palace and the eyes and ears of most people.
Even if Xian Tian Palace experts were skilled in divination, it would be difficult to detect it.
Fortunately, Lu Jian’s cultivation was not top-notch. Otherwise, it would not be easy to deal with the other party.
However, it was far from the time to relax. He had to take it one step at a time.
Chen Luoyang stood on the hill and looked at the Deer Sword that Xie Buxiu had transformed into in the distance. He met up with the carriage and reassembled himself before setting off.
He focused his mind slightly and communicated with the Heavenly Book of the ‘Soul’ word. His soul seemed to have been divided as well, and he had an additional perspective.
It was Xie Buxiu’s perspective.
Xian Tian Palace’s Elder Lu ‘then proceeded to Xian Tian Palace in a light and simple manner.
Low profile, secret.
Before they reached the outer area of Xian Tian Palace, someone from the palace came to receive them and arranged for ‘Deer Sword’ to sneak into Xian Tian Palace alone.
Chen Luoyang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
As expected, Lu Jian had returned to Xian Tian Palace in secret and there were other people in the palace to receive him. He had secretly passed through the Xian Tian Wan Xiang Formation to hide from the eyes and ears of others.
This way, under the double protection, it was even more impossible for Xie Buxiu to be exposed.
At the very least, there was no danger in the outer area.
However, the first test that was truly difficult was coming up next.
Xie Buxiu followed the Xian Tian Palace disciple who came to pick him up and entered the palace quietly, before arriving at a side hall.
There was already another elder sitting in the hall.
The old man was tall and dressed in simple clothes. His face was elegant, but he looked a little sick.
There was no need for Lu Jian to introduce this old man. Chen Luoyang and Xie Buxiu knew him.
It was Yue Zhengbo, Elder Xun Feng of Xian Tian Palace.
Red Dust knew that Xian Tian Palace had eight elders.
The eight external elders guarded the eight directions respectively. They were like a high-ranking official who dealt with the affairs of various places. Their status was similar to the protectors of the branches of the Ancient Gods Clan.
Xian Tian Palace wasn’t like Ancient Gods Clan, which was an independent country with a vast territory.
Xian Tian Palace was usually semi-reclusive. It was located in the South Chu Empire and was relatively low-key compared to other holy lands.
However, outside the palace, there were many industries. At the same time, they had to deal with the South Chu Empire and other forces.
Lu Jian and the other eight elders who were guarding outside were in charge of this.
Thus, apart from cultivation, they also needed extraordinary management skills and were good at dancing.
There had to be a balance between the two abilities, so it was not rare for Lu Jian to make an exception and be promoted.
The eight elders in the palace had even higher statuses, they were called Gantian, Earth, Xunfeng, Zhenlei, Kanshui, Lihuo, Genshan, and Duize.
To some extent, it was similar to the Union of Gods and Demons of the Ancient Gods Clan, or the combination of the four halls and the Elder Pavilion.
The current leader of Xian Tian Palace was a level lower than the other big shots of the mortal world, and Mister Tianji did not return to Xian Tian Palace for many years. This brought about a very real problem, the elders of Xian Tian Palace were much more powerful than the elders of the other holy lands.
There was a certain level of balance between the Palace Master and the eight elders.
Although the Palace Master still had the highest authority, he couldn’t keep his word like Jiang Yi, Emperor Chu, Emperor Qin, and Blood River Ancestor.
The Yue Zhengbo that Xie Buxiu was seeing now was one of the eight great elders of the palace, Elder Gentlewind.
According to Chen Luoyang’s previous investigation of Lu Jian’s life experiences, the other party was Lu Jian’s old superior.
Yue Zhengbo’s promotion and support were crucial to Lu Jian’s success.
He was also Yue Zhengbo’s trusted aide.
Now that there were only the two of them in the hall, how Xie Buxiu should greet the other party became a problem.
However, the “Deer Sword” that he had transformed into naturally kowtowed to Yue Zhengbo.”Greetings, Old Yue.”
Although the eight elders in the palace had a higher status than the eight guardian elders outside the palace, the two sides did not have to go to such an extent to greet each other.
It was only because of Lu Jian’s special relationship with Tong Zhengbo that he was like this.
In a valley outside the Xian Tian Palace, Chen Luoyang smiled as he looked at Lu Jian.
The other party’s face was filled with resistance and helplessness.
The words “Greetings, Old Master Yue” came from his mouth, and he spoke almost at the same time as Xie Buxiu.
In front of Chen Luoyang, his body was stiff and he couldn’t move. However, Xie Buxiu in the Xiantian Palace perfectly recreated his appearance every time he met Yue Zhengbo.
Earlier, Chen Luoyang had said that he, Lu Jian, would definitely help. At this moment, he finally believed that the other party wasn’t lying.
It didn’t matter if he was willing or not, he had to help. He couldn’t even deliberately cause trouble. He couldn’t do anything at the moment.
Meanwhile, in the hidden side hall of Xian Tian Palace, Yue Zhengbo, who was standing in front of Xie Buxiu, did not wait for him to kneel before him. Instead, he extended his hand and supported Xie Buxiu.
“You’re already an old man, there’s no need to be so polite. I’ve always known that you’re a person who cherishes old ties and knows how to repay kindness.” Yue Zhengbo said.
“It’s all thanks to Old Le and Old You that I’m able to be where I am today,” replied the “Deer Sword” in front of him.
“Let’s go down and rest first. The time is in these few days,” said Yue Zhengbo.
“Yes, Old Le,” answered “Deer Sword.”
After saying that, he left the side hall. Immediately, a disciple came up to him and brought him to his residence to rest.
They were all specially arranged places, hidden and quiet.
Xie Buxiu, who was disguised as a “Deer Sword”, did not dare to be careless even when he was alone. He was afraid that someone was secretly monitoring him and would discover his flaws.
However, he was more or less relieved.
It seemed that he had passed the first test.
Yue Zhengbo was a Martial Saint and an old benefactor of the Deer Sword Sect. If he could hide from the other party’s eyes and ears, then most of the others
did not have to worry.
This was all thanks to the help of the real Elder Lu, who allowed him to respond appropriately.
Yue Zhengbo was not particularly suspicious. Under the circumstances where he went to test Xie Buxiu, there was no risk for Xie Buxiu to pass.
It was also thanks to the Fusang Tree Heart, the “Soul” Heavenly Book, and other magical treasures.
The connection that Xie Buxiu and Lu Jian had established was maintained right under the noses of Yue Zhengbo and the Connate All Creation Formation. However, they managed to successfully hide it from the other party in the end.
Xie Buxiu paced back and forth in the quiet room, appearing slightly anxious.
This was not his habit, but Lu Jian’s habit.
In front of others, Elder Lu always tried her best to appear calm and collected.
However, when he was alone, if something was on his mind, he could not control his temper.
Meditating was not his style. Walking back and forth and thinking while walking could make his thoughts more agile. Over time, it became a habit.
Right now, Xie Buxiu was completely immersed in his character.
After all, the one in the tiger’s den was him and not Chen Luoyang.
Once his identity was exposed, many people in Xian Tian Palace could kill him with a single slap. Some people could even kill him without even using a single slap.
As for simply defecting to the enemy and confessing to him, he still couldn’t do it.
Moreover, his powerful vice sect leader had managed to make Deer Sword into such a state, and the two sides had established such a wonderful connection. Xie Buxiu was also worried that if he were to defect to the enemy, a certain vice sect leader surnamed Chen would end his life from a distance and render him speechless.
In this dilemma, Comrade Xie could only give full play to his subjective initiative and do his job seriously.
Now, he only hoped that he, who knew too many secrets, wouldn’t be silenced by Chen Luoyang afterward.
“Well done.”
At this moment, Chen Luoyang’s voice sounded in Xie Buxiu’s mind.
He focused slightly and felt that his thoughts and consciousness seemed to have split into two.
Some of them were still walking back and forth in the body that was disguised as Deer Sword, while the other part seemed to have entered an inexplicable illusory space that was flashing with light.
Here, he could see a page of a book flashing in the air.
Shrouded by the light, Xie Buxiu discovered that he had returned to his original
appearance.
In front of him was Chen Luoyang and a tree.
That tree was like the legendary Fusang Divine Tree.
The surface of the tree trunk was distorted, and a human face faintly appeared.
It was Lu Jian’s face. His eyes were tightly shut, and he felt nothing.
“It’s this subordinate’s fortune to be able to serve you, Cult Master. I’m just afraid that if I don’t do my job well, it will delay your grand plan.” Xie Buxiu said with a fawning smile.
” I believe in my own judgment. ” Chen Luoyang’s tone was indifferent. ” Do you believe me? ”
Xie Buxiu felt bitter in his mouth and could only laugh dryly.”Thank you Cult Master Chen for your favor. If you say it can be done, then it will definitely be done. This subordinate will definitely do my best and do my best.”
“The first principle of my rule is to reward those who have merit and punish those who have fault.” ” I will never mistreat those who work hard, ” Chen Luoyang said.
He leisurely raised his head and looked at the page of the Heavenly Book with the word “Soul” flashing with light.
Xie Buxiu’s heart skipped a beat. He realized that he seemed to be able to understand many principles from that illusory page of the Heavenly Book. However, everything seemed to be like a flower in a fog, and he could not see it clearly for a moment.
Therefore, he felt an itch in his heart.
Such a reward was independent of the Ancient Gods Clan and the Divine Devil Palace.
It was truly a rare opportunity.
He just didn’t know if he would have the life to enjoy it..
Xie Buxiu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still hurriedly thanked Chen Luoyang loudly, ‘”‘Thank you for your reward, Cult Master. I will definitely do my best.”
” Yes. ” Chen Luoyang nodded. ” I only want to see the results.
Xie Buxiu’s mind was slightly dazed. His consciousness merged back into his body.
He calmed himself down and waited patiently in Xian Tian Palace.
Two days later, at noon, someone came to inform him.
“Elder Lu, please come with me. The meeting in the palace is about to begin..”
