Chapter 451 Exposed

“Of course I don’t know”

Faced with doubts, Shang Lu was not at all flustered, and even said confidently:

“This is the mission assigned to you by the Immortal Lord. How could you tell me? Don’t you know the Immortal Lord’s temper?”

After a pause, Shang Lu sneered and said sarcastically: “Yes, you really don’t understand.”

“This……”

Several wheat thieves were rendered speechless by Shang Lu’s retort.

They believe in mountain ghosts because after being dragged into the dangerous underworld, they only know that the mountain ghosts have extraordinary powers and that they can make their wishes come true if they offer sacrifices.

However, the origin, temperament, etc. of the mountain ghost are still unclear.

Shang Lu’s words were full of clever rhetoric and sophistry, which made them subconsciously believe him to about 70%.

Seeing that Shang Lu was not at all flustered in the face of doubts, and was even more arrogant than before, he believed it 100%.

Among the He thieves, anyone who has any connection with “Emperor Shennong” or “Eight Ghost Immortals” is even more arrogant and domineering than Shang Lu.

Shang Lu’s behavior at this moment completely fits their stereotype of people with connections.

Although he no longer doubted Shang Lu’s identity, He Zei was unwilling to let Lu Dao and his six companions go.

There are six sacrifices in total, not to mention the excellent sacrifices such as Rat Patrol and Lu Dao!

If these people could be sacrificed to the Immortal King through their hands, they would be able to make up for the sacrifices they owed in order to “stay alive”. They would no longer have to worry about being punished by God and dying suddenly due to insufficient sacrifices.

Who knows, if the sacrifices they offer are good enough, the Immortal King might even grant them some new wishes.

In order to survive, and also for the sake of interests, even if Shang Lu is the boy under the Immortal King, these thieves are unwilling to give up the fat meat in their hands.

Even though doing so would likely offend Xiantong, they didn’t care.

First make up for the owed sacrifices, and wait until you leave the dangerous place of the underworld alive, then we can talk about other things.

However, these thieves complained:

“Xian Tong, it’s not that we want to disobey your orders, but the Immortal King has given the order first, so it’s not easy for us to do it.”

“You have served the Immortal Lord for a long time, so you should know that he not only responds to requests, but also pursues debts. Anyone who makes a wish but fails to offer the corresponding sacrifice in time will be severely punished. The lighter punishment is deformity, and the heavier punishment is death. We are in a dilemma.”

“How about this, you leave these people here first, and when you meet the Immortal Lord, ask for a new Immortal Order from Him, and we will hand them over to you immediately.”

Shang Lu sneered in his heart.

Don’t be fooled by the nice words of these thieves. If they really leave the person here, they will definitely turn around and hang the person on the altar outside, behead him, dig out his heart, and sacrifice him to the mountain ghost.

Besides, Shang Lu is just a fake fairy boy. Where can he find the mountain ghost to issue a new fairy decree?
If he really encounters a mountain ghost, either the mountain ghost will die or he will die!
Shang Lu naturally would not tell these words to He Zei. He continued to use sophistry, showing off his eloquence and coaxing:

“The Immortal King has ordered these people to be brought before Him and dealt with personally by Him. Don’t worry, when I meet the Immortal King, I will report to Him about your loyal work. At that time, He will definitely forgive the sacrifices you owe and even reward you…”

Under the dual effects of eloquence and sophistry, several wheat thieves were confused by Shang Lu’s fantastic deceptions and empty promises, and they really believed what he said.

What the wheat thieves want is to make up for the sacrifice and avoid punishment. It would be even better if they could get rewards and fulfill new wishes.

If they could achieve these things without robbing these wizards, they would naturally be happy to give the fairy boy a favor.

After all, although the title of “boy under the seat” sounds a bit strange and awkward, he is undoubtedly a close and favored person in front of the Immortal King.

If you offend such a person, he will spread rumors and flatter you in the future, which will make you feel very uncomfortable.

The thieves looked at each other, discussed in a low voice for a few words, and then said with a folded hand:
“Since this is the person the Immortal Lord specifically requested, then let the Immortal Boy take him away. And please, when you meet the Immortal Lord, please say a few good words for us.”

“Of course.” Shang Lu nodded in agreement.

He wanted to ask Hezei to take off the “fame” and “profit” gold ingots from Lu Dao and others, but he held back and didn’t say a word, for fear of exposing himself and making Hezei realize that something was wrong: if he was really escorting “prisoners”, why didn’t he put shackles on these “prisoners” to suppress their strength?

Shang Lu signaled to Lu Yang and others with his eyes, telling them not to be anxious and to wait until they got out of the City God Temple of Corpses before using the purification talisman to help them escape.

In order to make the play more effective, Shang Lu released wisps of witchcraft energy, which turned into ropes to entangle Lu Dao and the other six people, dragging them out.

Upon seeing this, the thieves quickly activated the mechanism in the City God Temple of Corpses and opened the strange temple door formed by countless bones and rotten corpses.

At this moment, Lu Dao and the other six all reacted and cooperated very well. Not only did they pretend to struggle hard and were unwilling to follow Shang Lu, they also cursed at him.

Lu Yang’s curses were the most intense and harsh.

But in fact, although the six people cursed fiercely and struggled fiercely, their pace did not slow down at all.

They all knew that although this deception had unexpected effects, it was only temporary and would not last long.

These thieves may wake up at any time, so they must leave as soon as possible.

As long as they leave the Corpse City God Temple, the power of the treasure in He Zei’s hand will be greatly reduced, or even ineffective.

By that time, even if they discovered the problem, it would not be difficult to counterattack.

However, God seems to be against humans.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

After walking a few steps, one of the thieves suddenly realized that something was wrong and muttered suspiciously, “Who are these guys? Why were they named by the Immortal Lord himself?”

Although the voice of the rice thief was very low, Shang Lu was very sharp and heard it immediately. He immediately thought it was not good and quickened his pace. He almost ran with the six people. The people around the rice thief were all stunned when they heard what he said.

Some people frowned, while others seemed to be thinking about something.

Some people even blurted out with greedy eyes, “Could it be that they are Lu Dao, Shang Lu and others from the Baiyi County Witch Academy? These people really didn’t die outside, but were also dragged into the dangerous place of the underworld?”

When Shang Lu heard this, he didn’t hesitate at all and slapped the Purity Talisman that he had drawn long ago, which he had kept secret for fear of alerting the enemy, onto Lu Dao and the other six people.

The talisman light turned into a colorful rain of light and flew into the bodies of Lu Dao and the other six people.

The six people who were originally panicking suddenly had a strange feeling, as if in an instant, they lost interest in everything.

Fame and wealth have become unimportant.

Even more pure and free from desires than entering the sage time.

Shang Lu, who had shot out the Purification Talisman, pulled the witch rope tightly and was about to use the Nine Transformations to rush out of the Corpse City God Temple with the six people.

But at this moment.

“boom–“

The heavy and strange door of the City God Temple of Corpses slammed shut.

The dry bones on the door broke into pieces due to the violent vibration.

And those rotten corpses let out painful roars.

Almost at the same time, in the City God Temple, a thief with shackles in his hands opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood at the treasure he had stolen.

Suddenly, streaks of blood rose from the shackles, and with lightning speed, they entangled Lu Dao and his six men, and also locked up Shang Lu.

The blood light emitted by the shackles, although not as strange as the “fame” hat and the “profit” ingots, is equally powerful.

Surrounded by the blood light, Shang Lu suddenly felt that the energy in his body was not flowing smoothly and he had difficulty exerting his strength.

The five internal organs in his body burst out with five-colored light, trying to help him break through the strange blood light, but the effect was not obvious at the moment.

Shang Lu said secretly, “Not good.”

In order to buy time for Wu Zangmiao, and also to buy time for Zishu Xunshou, Lu Dao, Xu Shan and others to get rid of the “name” and “profit”, Shang Lu turned back and shouted at the fierce-eyed and eager Heze, “
“What are you doing? Quickly remove these bloody shackles!”

However, the gang of thieves in the City God Temple did not follow their instructions.

They surrounded him with a grim smile and asked:

“Xian Tong, you haven’t answered our question yet. Are these people Lu Dao, Shang Lu and others?”

“No.”

Shang Lu flatly denied it.

“you are lying!”

The thieves didn’t believe it at all.

“Except for Lu Dao and Shang Lu, who have grudges against the Immortal Lord and will be named by the Immortal Lord, the Immortal Lord doesn’t care about the others, even if they are the Dean of the Witch Academy, the Supervisor, or some kind of guard witch.”

“It must be Lu Dao, Shang Lu and the others. Xian Tong, do you want to take all the credit?”

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Zishu Xunshou, Lu Dao, and Xu Shan. Seeing that the “fame” hats and “profit” ingots on their bodies had loosened, he knew that the purification talisman had taken effect.

But it will take some time.

As his mind turned, Shang Lu followed the words of the thieves and snorted coldly: “Since you also know that this is the person the Immortal King wants, why don’t you quickly remove the bloody shackles! If you ruin the Immortal King’s business, can you bear the consequences?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the thieves in the Corpse City God Temple burst into laughter.

“You are indeed a fake, not the fairy boy under the Immortal King’s throne at all!”

“Hehe, even though you are cunning, you didn’t expect that the Immortal King had already issued a decree. No matter who it is, as long as they find Lu Dao, Shang Lu and others, they must immediately behead them and dig out their hearts, and offer their blood to Him, right? He never said that they must be brought to him alive.”

“The Immortal Lord also said that Lu Dao, Shang Lu and others are all cunning and deceitful people who are good at deceiving others. They are likely to pretend to be his followers and get away with it. We must keep our eyes open and not make mistakes. Humph, the Immortal Lord really predicted it. You are really cunning!”

“You bullshit fairy boy, you are clearly in the same group with Lu Dao, Shang Lu and the others! I felt something was wrong just now. With your cultivation level, how could you possibly capture these six people? You said you were going to send them to see the Immortal Lord, but you didn’t put them in shackles or cast any spells on them.”

“Why waste your time talking to him? Just go ahead and kill them! The Immortal King promised that if you kill Lu Dao, Shang Lu and the others and offer them as a sacrifice of flesh and blood, not only will all the sacrifices you owe be cancelled, but you can also fulfill a great wish!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The more the thieves spoke, the more excited they became.

His eyes were filled with greed and murderous intent.

In the end, all their words turned into shouts of “kill”.

One by one, they were either making hand gestures to cast spells or spurting blood to activate the treasures in their hands.

He was determined to kill the seven Shanglu men immediately.

(There will be more in the evening~)
