Chapter 483: Wu De

This day.

Yuan An walked into Li Rui's room.

"Master, this is a letter sent by Eldest Senior Brother."

Ever since Li Rui returned from Jiangzhou, he had sent Liu Liu Tiezhu to Longquan Town to accompany Tie Kuang.

For his own disciple, he naturally had to be more attentive.

The reason he accepted Liu Liu Tiezhu was because he valued his character, but he couldn't force his own skills to be passed down just because he had accepted him as a disciple, causing his blacksmithing skills to be wasted.

Liu Liu Tiezhu continuing to stay by his side would only waste his talent.

Going to Longquan Town was the best choice.

Just like when he sent Wang Zhao to the Witch Kingdom in Qinghe in the past, Liu Liu Tiezhu was also full of reluctance, but in the end, he was driven away by Li Rui with a straight face.

A disciple not being filial is a headache, but sometimes being too attached to home is also a troublesome matter.

Now in the residence by the Jishui Pool.

Most of the time, it was just Yuan An and Li Rui.

"Good."

Li Rui didn't even take the letter from Yuan An's hand, saying: "Xiao Hu, tell me, what is written in the letter."

Yuan An then smiled and opened the letter:

"Master, Senior Brother said in the letter that the people sent by Zhu Gan mainly went to the Anning Guard and the Zhu family; according to Master's request, our people mainly monitored them, and they did not discover us."

Li Rui nodded: "You all did very well."

Ever since he learned from the Fourth Prince Zhu Ting that Zhu Gan had sent people to investigate him that day.

He also wrote a letter to Liang He.

There was no need to intercept Zhu Gan's subordinates, but he needed to know what Zhu Gan wanted to know.

Li Rui had operated in Yunzhou for so many years, so he naturally hadn't been idle.

Besides the Tiandi Alliance and the Chunfeng Hall on the surface.

The intelligence network hidden underground was the most important.

To put it impolitely, in Yunzhou, the speed at which Li Rui knew news might be faster than the Marquis's Mansion.

It wasn't that the foundation of the Tiandi Alliance and the Chunfeng Hall was deeper than the Marquis's Mansion, but rather that they were good at using those seemingly ordinary figures; a little beggar on the side of the road might be an eye of the Tiandi Alliance.

This was the strength of the Tiandi Alliance, which originated from mud-legged people, compared to those high-and-mighty sects.

That was why he could manage to track the people sent by Zhu Gan in return.

At this moment.

Yuan An added: "What's strange is that those people seem extremely interested in Master's experience as a secret guard, and even tried every possible way to meet with the head of the Zhu family, just to investigate Master's situation in the Zhu family."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yuan An put down the letter in his hand and asked curiously: "Master, what should we do next?"

"My father does have some friends in the capital; perhaps I can ask some elders to help speak a few words."

Others were fine.

But Zhu Gan was a prince, so what could be done was only to resolve it.

One couldn't just kill a prince, right?

Li Rui shook his head: "No need for now; continue to have people observe. By the way, your Fourth Senior Brother is coming to the capital in a few days; when the time comes, you go help him a bit."

"Good, Master."

Yuan An smiled when he heard that Fourth Senior Brother Liu Tong was coming.

He liked excitement.

Moreover, he met this Fourth Senior Brother the least.

Yuan An left.

Li Rui then began to cultivate again.

He practiced until late at night, then crawled into the quilt to sleep.

At his level, sleeping or not sleeping actually made no difference; it was mainly to go to the Grand Void Dojo.

When he opened his eyes again.

He found that he had already arrived before the White Jade Steps.

Only this time, he did not climb the White Jade Steps as usual to go to the residence of the Grand Void Dao Lord.

Because there was a slightly chubby figure on the White Jade Steps.

Wu De.

He saw that Wu De had already climbed to a very high place on the White Jade Steps, much higher than before.

Clearly.

In the time he hadn't seen Li Rui, Wu De's cultivation had also greatly improved.

Looking at Wu De, who was trembling and swaying on the White Jade Steps, Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

Calculating it.

The two hadn't seen each other for quite a few years.

His thought moved.

An invisible shockwave shot toward Wu De.

Following an "Ouch."

Wu De only felt pain in his buttocks, unable to stand steady anymore, and his whole body tumbled down like a roller.

Before long, he arrived at Li Rui's feet.

Wu De was in such a sorry state.

It took him quite a while to stand up, then he smiled at Li Rui: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, we meet again."

Clearly, as early as when he was on the White Jade Steps, he had already discovered Li Rui, but he hadn't greeted Li Rui at the time.

As for being knocked down the steps by Li Rui.

He wasn't annoyed in the slightest; after all, he had done it twice before.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see."

Li Rui performed a Daoist greeting.

Before he could continue speaking.

Wu De spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, the matter I promised you before, I cannot do it."

"Oh?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

What Wu De was talking about was naturally the matter of the method to conceal one's aura.

At the time, Li Rui's formation was not yet fully accomplished, so he asked Wu De to find a concealment method from the Upper Realm, and in return, he would help Wu De descend to the Lower Realm.

Descending to the Lower Realm was naturally a lie to Wu De.

He, who had never even been to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, how could he descend to the Lower Realm?

Wu De sighed lightly: "The concealment method is too precious; I tried every possible way but was powerless. Let's just say I didn't have that fortune regarding the matter of descending to the Lower Realm."

But just as he finished speaking.

Suddenly his eyes became terrified.

Only because Li Rui had waved his hand casually, and thick spiritual energy wove into a magic net, binding him.

Throughout the whole process, Wu De had almost no power to fight back.

He heard Li Rui say coldly: "Does Fellow Daoist take me for a three-year-old child?"

Seeing Li Rui, who was filled with murderous intent, Wu De couldn't help but shiver.

His heart was even more shocked.

'Is this the foundation of a great family?'

When he first saw Li Rui, the other party's strength was definitely not as good as his own.

When they met again, he already needed to be more wary.

Now that they met again, the other party could actually suppress him with a lift of his hand.

'What kind of freak is this?!'

At this moment, Wu De was suffering in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about whether to waste this opportunity to enter the Grand Void Dojo and leave directly.

Li Rui's cold words rang in his ears: "I hate being deceived the most; Fellow Daoist can rest assured that from now on, as long as I, Zhu, run into you once, I will make it so you can no longer enter the Grand Void Dojo for even half a step."

Wu De's heart was even more bitter.

This Grand Void Dojo was a creation he had obtained after going through all kinds of hardships.

The number of times he could enter was already pitifully small.

If he were to be kicked out by this Fellow Daoist Zhu, then his possibility of obtaining the Immortal Lord's inheritance would be almost equivalent to being wiped out.

Wu De's eyes flickered.

After pondering for a long time, he then spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, don't blame me; it's that I got to know an elder who has already agreed to bring me down to the Lower Realm, so I won't trouble you, and with your ability, wouldn't it be easier for you to find that method yourself?"

Upon hearing this.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

His thought moved.

The shackles around Wu De were undone, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Another "Ouch."

Li Rui then smiled and said: "If Fellow Daoist Wu had said so earlier, we wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings, right?"

Wu De rolled his eyes.

How could he not see.

This person surnamed Zhu had clearly broken through and deliberately seized this opportunity to establish his authority.

Regarding this matter, he had always been open-minded.

He was actually the same.

We cultivators can only be fellow Daoists if we have equal combat power.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu for descending to the Lower Realm."

Li Rui congratulated him.

Wu De curled his lips in his heart, but his face showed more smiles.

After all, he didn't want to be kicked out of the Grand Void Dojo by Li Rui every time.

Come to think of it, he didn't know if it was fate playing tricks, but the number of times he saw Li Rui in the Grand Void Dojo was as high as eighty percent; he really didn't dare to gamble.

"With your family background, Fellow Daoist Zhu, you can naturally go if you want to."

Wu De thought about making up for the relationship between the two and said a few more words: "Fellow Daoist Zhu doesn't know, but that Golden Court Small Cave Heaven hides many creations; several great cultivators have already planned to join forces to open the Cave Heaven Gate, and there are many spots."

Li Rui's heart was even more surprised.

This was a major event.

Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has almost fully recovered, and the number of cultivators is unknown how many times more than before.

If people from the Immortal Cultivation Realm come again, it's unknown what kind of chaos it will cause.

Wu De continued to speak to himself: "You don't know how fierce that Golden Court Small Cave Heaven is; I heard that even great cultivators in the Body-Integration Realm might not necessarily get any benefit if they go."

Afterwards.

Wu De seemed to be making up for the relationship and said quite a lot more.

He waited until the time to enter the Grand Void Dojo arrived, and then he dissipated.

Looking at the empty White Jade Steps.

Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

An unexpected joy.

Before, Wu De had always been on guard against him, and even when he spoke to him, he only spoke of common knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

It was extremely useful to Li Rui at the beginning.

But with the growth of strength.

It gradually became useless.

Until today, Li Rui showed his strength and suppressed people with power; Wu De had to submit, and only then did he reveal more news he wanted to know.

"Golden Court Small Cave Heaven..."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

Then he thought again, since Wu De was going to descend to the Lower Realm, there might be a chance for the two sides to meet in the future.

The curve of his mouth grew wider.
