Chapter 807: The road to Yin Capital

~24 min read 4,734 words

Lu Lu Xiaolan opened her eyes and saw two beautiful women sitting in the dim and narrow room.

One woman was applying rouge, and the other woman was combing her hair.

The two turned their heads and looked at Lu Lu Xiaolan together. Lu Lu Xiaolan immediately closed her eyes and continued to play dead.

Were these people all Li Qi's helpers?

What kind of place was this room? Could it be a secret room on the special train? Lu Lu Xiaolan didn't remember there being a secret room on the Lu family's special train.

Although she closed her eyes, she was still observing her surroundings using her Illusion Cultivation technique. She was looking for Hao Hao Lianwu.

Where did he go?

Dead? Or did he escape?

Lu Lu Xiaolan felt that the probability of Hao Hao Lianwu escaping was higher. Hao Hao Lianwu's cultivation was above hers; if it weren't for Li Qi grabbing the initiative, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Just because this fool Hao Hao Lianwu misjudged Li Qi's strength, it led to the current situation. Lu Lu Xiaolan cursed inwardly, but she didn't know how to escape for the moment.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan entered the 'Personal Residence' and sat in front of Lu Lu Xiaolan.

Seeing Lu Lu Xiaolan motionless, Li Li Banfeng said: "I think she's dead."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sighed: "What a good girl, she died just like that. Xue Yingying, throw Miss Lu into the furnace to refine pills."

Xiang Xiang Hongying was just pondering which furnace it was; there were tea stoves, heating stoves, and barbecue grills in the house, but it seemed there was no furnace for refining pills.

Wasn't refining pills the business of the Copper Lotus? Should she move her over?

Xiang Xiang Hongying was just preparing to move the Did Honglian when Lu Lu Xiaolan woke up herself: "Li Banfeng, I was wrong, spare my life!"

My wife was startled. Not many people called Li Qi 'Li Li Banfeng': "Husband, is this an old acquaintance of yours?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan's appearance had changed a lot, but her voice was basically the same as before. She didn't add any disguise to this plea. Li Li Banfeng said to his wife: "This is Ma Ma Junyang and He He Haiqin's fiancée, Lu Lu Xiaolan."

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked at Lu Lu Xiaolan in surprise: "Did you three live together in the past? How many businesses do you usually run?"

My wife gave Xiang Xiang Hongying a slap, turned around, and asked Lu Lu Xiaolan: "Have you had your body changed by the Great Totem?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan nodded: "I have had my body changed twice. Once while I was alive, and once after I died."

The phonograph asked: "Why did you change your body while you were alive?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan looked at Li Li Banfeng: "Some things, Li Banfeng should know. Because of some misunderstandings, I have no place to stay in Puluo Continent. I wanted to hide in the Inner Continent, but Li Banfeng's influence in the Inner Continent is too great, and I estimate he wouldn't tolerate me either.

Helpless, I could only hide in the Inner Continent. But as a Puluo Continent person, without merit or qualifications, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the Inner Continent, so I could only rely on the elders of the Lu family to seek a way out under Yu Zhuo."

Li Li Banfeng nodded. This was not a lie; Lu Lu Xiaolan was indeed introduced to Yu Zhuo by Lu Lu Maoxian.

"What was Yu Zhuo's purpose in sending you to Puluo Continent?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan said: "Lord Yu wanted to lure you out to discuss some political affairs with you."

She didn't dare to say she was here to kill Li Li Banfeng. The Prince of Prince Pingyuan discussing political affairs with the Grand Secretary was reasonable and logical. If Li Li Banfeng believed it, he might even spare her life.

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "Did you hear that? This is a messenger sent by Lord Yu, looking for me for urgent business!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was also a bit ashamed: "Sister, why didn't you say so earlier? We are all our own people. If we had known you were sent by Lord Yu, we wouldn't have dealt such a heavy hand."

The couple's attitude changed too quickly, catching Lu Lu Xiaolan off guard.

Could it be that they had dealings with Yu Zhuo long ago?

Then why did Yu Zhuo want to get rid of Li Qi?

What hidden secrets were there?

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan said: "Xue Yingying, go get a chair. Hua Jiuer, help Miss Lu Xiaolan sit down."

The chair was moved over, but Hua Jiuer could not lift Lu Lu Xiaolan: "Sister, this woman is too seriously injured, it's best not to move her."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan lowered her head and looked at Lu Lu Xiaolan with pity: "Sister, why don't you just lie down for now? You haven't told me about the matter just now. Why did you go to the Great Totem to change your body while you were alive?"

This was the key point!

Lu Lu Xiaolan had seen the Great Totem twice; she should know the way.

Hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Lu Xiaolan told the truth: "The Great Totem is in Yin Capital."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "How should one go to Yin Capital?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan dared not hide it: "I haven't walked the road from Puluo Continent to Yin Capital, but I recognize the road from Chaoge to Yin Capital."

Li Li Banfeng felt something was wrong with this matter: "You died at Xiaoyao Dock last time; who saved your soul?"

"Private detective, Dabo Dabo Ensi." She didn't hesitate this time and reported the name of Spider Bin directly.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Was it him who sent you to the Great Totem?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "After he saved me, he didn't care about me anymore. As a soul with cultivation, I was directly drawn to the Great Melting Pot.

Lu Lu Maoxian had taught me the 'Wind Avoidance Law' of the Great Melting Pot. I used the wind of the Great Melting Pot to send myself out of Chaoge and flew all the way to the Great Totem."

It seemed Lu Lu Maoxian really loved this granddaughter. The real skills he taught Lu Lu Xiaolan were something even the Eighteen Wheels had not mastered.

Lu Lu Xiaolan used language to describe it, and the projector built a picture on the side.

"In the Nine-Layer City, there are four palaces in the east, west, south, and north. The Lotus Heart of the Great Melting Pot will rotate in four directions to absorb wandering souls, so there is constant strong wind in the Nine-Layer City.

When the Lotus Heart turns from east to south, standing in the center of a corridor between the East Palace and the South Palace, neither people nor wandering souls will be sucked away by the Lotus Heart; instead, they will be blown away from Chaoge by a strong wind.

During the process of leaving Chaoge, both people and wandering souls will ride the wind all the way, flying toward the southeast. During the flight, as long as you don't deviate from the direction, you will definitely be able to find Yin Capital."

Looking at the picture outlined by the projector, Li Li Banfeng said: "That is to say, Yin Capital is always in the southeast direction of Chaoge. Even if you don't ride the wind, just taking a boat toward the southeast, you can also reach Yin Capital."

Lu Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "I dare not say that. I haven't tried it."

Li Li Banfeng raised his head: "Have you tried it?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying was startled: "Who are you talking to?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan spat a mouthful of steam toward the ceiling: "This guest, stop squatting up there, come down and have a cup of tea."

Xiang Xiang Hongying sensed danger, picked up her long spear, and poked at the ceiling. Hao Hao Lianwu groaned in pain, fell from the ceiling, and crashed to the ground.

As soon as he entered the door, Hao Hao Lianwu used an illusion to hide his figure in the room. Hao Hao Lianwu's sect foundation was quite good; as long as he stayed still, he could really deceive Xiang Xiang Hongying and Hua Jiuer.

But this was Li Li Banfeng's residence, and it was Li Li Banfeng who personally sent him into the residence. He couldn't even deceive Li Li Banfeng on the train, let alone in the 'Personal Residence.'

A silver dollar fell from Hao Hao Lianwu's pocket to the ground. Li Li Banfeng picked it up and couldn't help but frown: "A person like you can also be a leader? Are there really no presentable people in the Illusion Sect? How should I address you?"

Hao Hao Lianwu sneered: "My name is Hao Hao Lianwu. You can go and inquire in my sect. Twenty years ago, what was my status in Puluo Continent? Go ask if I can be worthy of the title of leader.

Li Qi, I fought with you this time, and I am really unconvinced. I misbelieved the intelligence given to me by Yu Zhuo. I didn't know what level your cultivation had reached at all; I mistook you for a land-level cultivator.

I lost confusedly, and you won luckily. Two experts fought a chaotic battle like this; if this matter spreads,

wouldn't it become a joke?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "If it spreads, it really becomes a joke."

"Husband is right, this matter cannot be spread!" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan spat a mouthful of steam, scalding Hao Hao Lianwu until he was half-cooked.

Hao Hao Lianwu shouted loudly: "Li Qi, you are famous in Puluo Continent. No matter where you go, others say you are a good man who stands tall.

Now that we know each other's roots, if you really have the courage, let's fight openly and honestly. The outcome doesn't matter; I just want fairness!"

"Good!" Li Li Banfeng agreed, stepped forward, and kicked Hao Hao Lianwu in the face, "This kick is open and honest. Do you feel it's fair now!"

Hao Hao Lianwu spat out a mouthful of blood and explained: "I meant that when the time is right, we will fight again; that is called fairness..."

Bang!

Li Li Banfeng kicked Hao Hao Lianwu again: "Is it fair now?"

Hao Hao Lianwu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Very fair."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Have you also seen the Great Totem?"

Hao Hao Lianwu nodded: "I followed Lord Yu for more than ten years and once followed him to Yin Capital. I can sketch the Great Totem with illusions because I have seen it with my own eyes."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan nodded: "Husband, the Great Totem he made is exactly the same as the real one."

When saying these words, my wife had already told Li Li Banfeng that she had also seen the real Great Totem.

Hao Hao Lianwu continued: "To go to Yin Capital, you must depart from Chaoge. You cannot go by sea; you must borrow the wind, and you must walk in a purely southeast direction."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What is called a purely southeast direction?"

Hua Jiuer explained from the side: "It is a place that cannot be named. A purely southeast direction, not leaning toward the east or south,

completely in the middle of these two directions.

When setting up a formation, if you can find this kind of pure direction, the effect of the formation will also be greatly improved.

If Yin Capital is in the pure southeast direction of Chaoge, you really shouldn't take a boat to Yin Capital because the sea is vast and the wind and waves change frequently, making it hard to control the direction."

To go to Yin Capital, you must depart from Chaoge?

Is this the route the Peddler took?

If there is a compass map, can there be fewer restrictions?

Regarding the location of Yin Capital, Hao Hao Lianwu could not provide more valuable clues, but regarding the characteristics of the Great Totem, Hao Did Did Honglian gave a vivid example.

"To improve combat power, I once accepted a transformation by the Great Totem, and then my combat power became sixty percent of what it used to be."

"What is the reason for the decrease in combat power?"

Hao Hao Lianwu thought for a while: "From my perception, the Great Totem mixed some things that were incompatible with my sect into my physique. Not only was my combat power weakened, but my physique was also weakened."

Li Li Banfeng had a certain speculation about the principle of the Great Totem.

Dark energy is disordered. Taking introductory medicine powder and organizing dark energy in a certain order is the process of cultivation.

The Great Totem is estimated to be forcibly mixing different types of dark energy together. If the order of dark energy is the same or similar, they will promote each other, and cultivation and combat power will improve. Lu Lu Xiaolan is a ready-made example.

If the order of dark energy is opposite, causing mutual cancellation, combat power will be severely weakened. Hao Hao Lianwu is such an example.

If they are neither the same nor opposite, but have nothing to do with each other?

It is estimated that dark energy will change from ordered back to disordered, which is equivalent to being illuminated by heavenly light, and can only wait for an explosion.

Order is accidental, disorder is inevitable. One out of ten thousand people survives, and the rest should all have exploded.

Judging from this, the Great Totem is really not equipment on the same level as the Great Melting Pot. The Great Melting Pot is creation with a purpose, and the Great Totem is kneading without any purpose.

Li Li Banfeng felt more and more that the Peddler should not have taken risks for the Great Totem.

Hao Hao Lianwu said: "Seventh Master, we can be considered as not knowing each other without fighting. If you still want to know things related to the Great Totem, I can take you to meet a few colleagues and help you get to the bottom of it."

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "It is better to resolve grievances than to settle them. Wife, send this leader to the inner room first and have a casual meal with our family."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan nodded: "Husband is right. Although he is a leader, he only has sixty percent combat power left, so we can only arrange a casual meal."

Hao Hao Lianwu laughed: "Seventh Master is a straightforward person. If Hao's combat power hadn't decreased from the past, would Seventh Master still be willing to treat Hao to a feast?"

Li Li Banfeng thought for a while: "A feast is out of the question, but you can have a decent family meal. Great Leader, hurry up and take your seat.

After eating this meal, you are one of us."

Hao Hao Lianwu cupped his hands: "Seventh Master is magnanimous. In the future, if there is anything Hao can do, Seventh Master just needs to speak!"

My wife sent Hao Hao Lianwu into the inner room, and Xiang Xiang Hongying followed to help set the table. Lu Lu Xiaolan's face turned pale: "Li Banfeng, is it really just a casual meal?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "That's right, just a meal. Don't worry, you can take your seat in a while. I want to ask you something: when did you know that He He Haiqin was holding the Did Honglian?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan said: "In my senior year."

"So late? Did you discover abnormalities in his cultivation?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan secretly looked at Li Li Banfeng. She was not sure which sentence was a question and which was a probe. Since it was a question about He He Haiqin, she simply told the truth: "I didn't discover any abnormalities in his cultivation. I just saw him often chatting with a woman on the computer.

She said this was his teammate in the game. I was a bit jealous at the time, so I hung a hook on the computer. Later, I learned from the woman that He He Haiqin had obtained the Profound Life Did Honglian."

"What kind of woman is she?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan carefully recalled: "I couldn't see the woman's appearance most of the time; I could only hear her voice. I saw her clothes a few times; they were all denim clothes, small leather skirts, and the like. She didn't look like a decent person.

I only saw her face once, and I didn't see it too clearly. Her makeup was quite heavy, she had red bangs, and she kept chewing bubble gum in her mouth."

Li Li Banfeng knew who this person was.

He He Haiqin had contact with Yuan Yuan Miaoping, and it was after He He Haiqin obtained the Profound Life Did Honglian that the two had frequent contact.

Yuan Yuan Miaoping didn't tell the truth before, which was also within expectations.

Lu Lu Xiaolan still thought Li Li Banfeng was holding a grudge against her for this matter: "Li Banfeng, I didn't want to harm He He Haiqin at the time. I sincerely wanted to live with him, but my mother and the others heard the news about the Profound Life Did Honglian, so they forced me to take action against He He Haiqin.

I didn't want to harm you either. Back then at the He family's old mansion, I just wanted you to stay in the residence for a while for me. I found a helper,

and would save you immediately.

For four years in university, I never harmed you. Li Banfeng, why don't you believe me!"

"I believe you, it's all in the past." Li Li Banfeng stood up, "Let's have a casual meal together. After this meal, all grievances will be resolved."

Hua Jiuer took Lu Lu Xiaolan to the second room. My wife was waiting in the room: "Miss Lu, I heard from my husband that you really wanted to get the Profound Life Did Honglian. I will fulfill your wish today; you take it."

My wife handed the Copper Lotus to Lu Lu Xiaolan.

Lu Lu Xiaolan didn't understand Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's meaning. The Copper Lotus was right in front of her, but she didn't dare to reach out and take it.

"You don't want it anymore?" My wife didn't force her. She placed the Copper Lotus aside and walked to Lu Lu Xiaolan's side,

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan understood; this was to kill her.

She pushed Hua Jiuer away. She wanted to rush back to the main room and fight Li Li Banfeng to the death, but the door leading to the main room wouldn't open.

She rushed into the third room, but found that except for some differences in furnishings, the layout of the third room was basically the same as the second room.

After rushing into the fourth room, Lu Lu Xiaolan was desperate; she found that the layout of the fourth room was also the same.

This reminded her of the scene when she was trapped in the He family's old mansion. She found that she couldn't get out.

After rushing to the fifth room, it was much livelier than the other rooms.

Lu Lu Xiaolan saw the dining table, saw the family eating, and also saw the food on the table.

Hao Hao Lianwu lying on the table made Lu Lu Xiaolan see her own ending clearly.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan comforted her from the side: "Miss Lu, you really don't want to hug the Did Honglian?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan rushed forward, still wanting to fight Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to the death, but was kicked to the ground by Xiang Xiang Hongying.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sighed: "No matter, you don't want to hug her, I'll let her hug you in a while."

Watching Zhao Zhao Xiaowan walk over, Lu Lu Xiaolan didn't know where to run.

She muttered to herself: "Impossible, my mother said that Li Li Banfeng's life is cheaper than a cockroach's. He is just a speck of dust; he doesn't even count as a person. Why can he—"

The intense pain made Lu Lu Xiaolan stop talking to herself. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan slowly sucked away Lu Lu Xiaolan's soul.

Hua Jiuer wiped her tears from the side, and Xiang Xiang Hongying frowned: "What are you crying for? Isn't this person Seventh Brother's enemy?"

"It's precisely because she's an enemy that I have to cry!" Hua Jiuer sobbed, "I'm afraid she didn't die cleanly."

A few specks of dust fell in the room, and Lu Lu Xiaolan's remnant soul was cleaned up thoroughly.

Xiang Xiang Hongying said with disgust: "We are eating here, and you're making this room full of dust. Hurry and find a cloth to cover the dishes."

Among the scattered dust, there was a special smell.

My wife smelled it with the 'Hundred Flavors Exquisite' technique and instructed everyone: "When eating, try to leave the blood as much as possible and hand it to the pendulum for safekeeping. It will be useful."

Xiang Xiang Hongying was a bit puzzled: "What use can this bitch's blood have?"

My wife smelled the blood again: "There is a technique, the technique of the Sound Cultivation ancestor."

Li Li Banfeng left the 'Personal Residence' and went to another carriage, waking up Lu Lu Chunying and Xiao Yeci who were sleeping soundly.

"No need to go to Three-Headed Fork, you can go home now."

Xiao Yeci was surprised: "What about those two enemies?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I sent them away, and the grudge is settled."

Xiao Yeci still couldn't believe it: "Who exactly were those enemies?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Lu Lu Chunying: "It was your sister."

"My sister—" Lu Lu Chunying knew who it was, "That bitch, if it weren't for us mother and daughter saving her back then, she would have been trapped to death in the He family's old mansion!"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Xiao Yeci: "I said it back then, I wouldn't let you find her."

Xiao Yeci was full of annoyance: "It's all my fault for not listening to the benefactor back then. Lu Lu Xiaolan really won't come again, right?"

D

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "She definitely won't come again."

Xiao Yeci let out a long sigh: "Then I'm relieved. Yinyin, let's go home."

Lu Lu Chunying thought for a while and said to Xiao Yeci: "Mom, let's not go back to Green Water City first. Let's go to Three-Headed Fork; I want to earn more cultivation."

Li Li Banfeng was quite satisfied; this child had prospects.

He stood up and was about to leave, when he heard Lu Lu Chunying say: "If only there were a way to reach above the clouds in one day, how good that would be."

Li Li Banfeng suddenly turned back, lifted his hat brim, and looked at Lu Lu Chunying.

Lu Lu Chunying shivered with fear: "Seventh Brother, I was just saying it casually—"

Li Li Banfeng continued to look at Lu Lu Chunying: "This matter cannot be said casually. From now on, you can't even think about it. Before you reach the ninth layer,

whoever tells you they can take you above the clouds in one day is definitely selling you out. Do you remember?"

Lu Lu Chunying was covered in cold sweat. After Li Li Banfeng left, she still couldn't sleep.

Xiao Yeci comforted her: "Yinyin, don't be afraid, the benefactor is right! We must listen to the benefactor. The benefactor sent Lu Lu Xiaolan away; this time we owe the benefactor a huge favor again!"

Lu Lu Chunying shook her head: "What sent away? Mom, did you really not understand? Lu Lu Xiaolan is gone; Seventh Brother sent her on the road to the Huang Quan."

"Huang Quan Road?" Xiao Yeci shivered, "My god! Lu Lu Xiaolan is already dead?"

A group of wandering souls walked along a rugged mountain road toward the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a huge circular ring stood on a flat stone base, slowly rotating.

From a distance, the ring was dazzling and perfect, but if you observed it closely, the ring was mottled and scarred.

The Grand Secretary of the New Cabinet, Yu Zhuo, stood on a two-story climbing ladder, carried by dozens of slaves to the top of the mountain. After ten thousand wandering souls gathered,

Yu Zhuo ordered all wandering souls to pass through the ring.

The slaves controlled first-class weapons with demon cultivation characteristics, driving the wandering souls toward the ring.

The so-called passing through the ring was an event with extremely low probability. Most wandering souls turned into smoke the moment they approached the ring. Out of ten thousand wandering souls, only one finally reached the other side of the ring.

Yu Zhuo was not too satisfied with this result, but the other two heads on his shoulders seemed optimistic.

The head on the left, named Did Did Honglian Xiu Jie Xian: "There are still over ten thousand wandering souls waiting at the foot of the mountain."

The head on the right, named He Shun: "The Great Melting Pot is ruined; all wandering souls must eventually come to the Great Totem."

Yu Zhuo sighed for a long time: "One in ten thousand, I don't know what the quality of the one who came out is."

The Peddler took a look and shook his head: "I don't think the quality of this person is very good."

PS: Peddler, do you think this Great Totem looks like it's been repaired by seventy percent? ### CHAPTER 808

Lu Lu Chunying was covered in cold sweat; after Li Li Banfeng left, she still couldn't fall asleep.

Xiao Yeci comforted her: "Yinyin, don't be afraid. The benefactor is right! We must listen to the benefactor. The benefactor sent Lu Yilan away, so this time we owe the benefactor another huge favor!"

Lu Lu Chunying shook her head and said: "What do you mean 'sent away'? Mom, did you really not understand? Lu Yilan is gone; Seventh Brother sent her on the road to the Huang Quan."

"The road to the Huang Quan?" Xiao Yeci shivered. "My heavens! Is Lu Yilan already dead?"

A group of police souls followed a rugged mountain path toward the summit.

At the summit, a massive ring stood on a flat stone pedestal, rotating slowly.

Viewed from afar, the ring was dazzling and flawless, but if one observed it closely, the ring was mottled and covered in scars.

Yu Zhuo, the Chief Grand Secretary of the New Cabinet, stood on a two-story palanquin, carried by dozens of servants up to the summit, waiting for the ten thousand police souls to gather.

Yu Zhuo ordered all the police souls to pass through the ring.

The people below controlled first-class weapons with nightmare-cultivator characteristics, driving the police souls toward the ring.

The so-called passing through the ring was an event with extremely low probability; most police souls turned into smoke and dust the moment they approached the ring. Out of ten thousand police souls, only one eventually reached the other side of the ring.

Yu Zhuo was not too satisfied with this result, but the other two heads on his shoulders were optimistic.

The head on the left, named Did Did Honglian Xiu Jie Xian, said: "There are still over ten thousand police souls waiting at the foot of the mountain."

The head on the right, named He Shun, said: "The Great Melting Pot is ruined; all the police souls must eventually come to the Great Totem."

Yu Zhuo let out a long sigh: "One in ten thousand; I don't know what the quality of this one will be like."

The Peddler took a look, shook his head, and said: "I don't think this person's quality is very good."

PS: Peddler, do you think this Great Totem looks like it's been repaired by seventy percent?
