Chapter 101: Lying Through One's Teeth

Tang Yuansheng, male, 102 years old, Nascent Soul stage cultivation, currently serving as the Inspector of the Immortal Cult.

He received a message from Branch Master Chu to come earlier, so he decided to advance his schedule. He first arrived at Qinghuai Jun, which is only one mountain away from Yanjiang Jun.

"After crossing this mountain, I will reach the location Little Chu said."

"Hmm?" Suddenly Tang Yuansheng felt a strange aura fluctuation, "What kind of aura is this?"

Following the induction, he came to the stable of a post station. In the stable, an old horse with dragon scales on its forehead and a small brown mare were snuggling together, looking deeply affectionate.

The post station boy brought a handful of selected grass feed and put it in the manger. The old horse looked at it with disdain, having no intention of eating it at all.

Seeing the old horse like this, the post station boy muttered: "After the little white horse left, how did it get together with a new horse so quickly?"

The old horse seemed to understand human speech, glared at the boy, and the boy didn't dare to provoke this exotic beast and ran away quickly.

The high-quality grass feed entrusted here by the owner of the old horse had long been eaten. After the high-quality feed was eaten, there was no movement from the old horse's owner for a long time. The post station boss guessed whether the other party had an accident or died directly. After all, the old horse's owner went to Songshan.

After the high-quality feed was eaten, the post station boss asked the boy to feed other grass feed. If the owner didn't come for a long time, he would use this old horse to pay for the feed.

As a result, the old horse looked down on the feed of the post station and didn't eat a single bite. A month passed like this.

The post station boss was terrified. This old horse was definitely not just an exotic beast with scales on its forehead, but an extremely high-level demonic beast that had reached the Bigu realm!

Exotic beasts are a species between demonic beasts and wild beasts. They possess the bloodline of demonic beasts, but the bloodline is too thin, and they don't even have the ability to mobilize the bloodline. They show some atavistic phenomena externally, growing scales, feathers, horns, etc. Their bodies are stronger than wild beasts, but the strength is limited.

Tang Yuansheng was overjoyed when he saw the old horse. This was actually a rare dragon horse in the world. He just didn't know the purity of the bloodline.

"If I hadn't accidentally been to the Wangyang East Sea, I really wouldn't have recognized it." Tang Yuansheng was quite excited. This was completely an unexpected joy.

How rare is a dragon horse? There is one in the stable of this remote small Jun. The owner of the dragon horse must not know the treasure, and the dragon horse has not awakened, so it is covered in dust here.

"As a Nascent Soul stage power, I have never had a suitable mount. This must be the Immortal seeing my piety and rewarding me with this opportunity!"

Tang Yuansheng prayed to the Immortal for a while and jumped into the stable.

The old horse looked back at Tang Yuansheng, ignored him, and continued to be affectionate with the small brown mare.

"Poor dragon horse, you don't know your noble identity and fell in love with a mortal horse. Come with me, I will let you know how powerful you are!"

Tang Yuansheng stretched out his golden hand, wanting to take the dragon horse away. The old horse kicked back with two hooves, breaking Tang Yuansheng's big hand. Tang Yuansheng felt a tightness in his chest, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened instantly.

He looked at the old horse with horror, no longer having the previous excitement, replaced by endless fear, turned around and ran.

There must be a power playing in the world living here, keeping the dragon horse as a mortal horse in the stable!

The previous action must not have been hidden from the power playing in the world. Run quickly, hoping the other party will spare his life for his ignorance!

The old horse roared and showed off its strength to the little mare.

Tang Yuansheng ran for a while, and seeing that the power didn't catch him back for a long time, he knew that the other party didn't care about his actions.

"Wow!" He spat out another mouthful of blood, found an uninhabited place, sat cross-legged, took medicine, and recovered from his injuries.

The two hooves just now caused him serious injury.

When he opened his eyes again, he heard a rumbling sound from the other side of the mountain, as if some behemoth had fallen.

"It's already night?" Tang Yuansheng was surprised to see that the sky was dark. He didn't expect that it took him a whole day to recover from his injuries.

He recovered some injuries and was safe to protect himself, so he crossed Songshan and came to the place where the flying boat fell, and saw Branch Master Chu pierced by Lu Yang's sword, without breath.

"...Is this the surprise Little Chu said?"

It's hard to say whether it's a joy or not, but Tang Yuansheng was definitely surprised.

Before coming, the high-level of the Immortal Cult asked him to pay attention to Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu, and also gave portraits.

Now he has to pay attention even if he doesn't want to.

"Who are you!" Lu Yang held the sword and looked at Tang Yuansheng vigilantly.

Tang Yuansheng looked at Lu Yang with a smile: "Lu Yang, do you dare to point your sword at this seat? This seat is Tang Yuansheng, the Inspector of the Immortal Cult."

Lu Yang learned of Tang Yuansheng's identity and made gestures behind his back, asking Lan Ting to leave quickly. Lan Ting's existence was not easy to explain to Tang Yuansheng.

"So it's Inspector Tang." Lu Yang was a little polite, but still looked at Tang Yuansheng suspiciously, obviously not fully believing the other party's identity.

Tang Yuansheng disdained to explain to Lu Yang and asked: "Why did you kill Li Shouyi?"

Li Shouyi, the Governor of Yanjiang Jun, Branch Master Chu's real name, Tang Yuansheng is used to calling him Little Chu.

Lu Yang said in a deep voice: "Because he almost exposed his identity as a member of the Immortal Cult!"

"Oh?" Tang Yuansheng looked at Lu Yang with great interest, seeing what kind of explanation the other party could give.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the foot of the mountain. It was Fang Qingyun who brought a large group of people here to check the situation of the flying boat falling. Among the large group of people, there were doctors responsible for rescue.

"Leave first!" Tang Yuansheng was still in a state of serious injury and didn't want to meet the government, so he swept his sleeves and wrapped Lu Yang and the three of them away.

Tang Yuansheng brought the three of them into the Yanjiang branch with familiarity. This is the safest place in Yanjiang Jun.

"Now tell me, Li Shouyi is rigorous in his work, how did he expose his identity?"

Lu Yang told the whole story about the Anti-Lifespan Formation and said: "Branch Master Chu... oh no, Governor Li's plan is not rigorous. First, let Yizhanghong be the scapegoat, and then secretly set up the Anti-Lifespan Formation. As long as the small flags are destroyed afterwards, there will be no traces."

Tang Yuansheng nodded. Li Shouyi has always been cautious in his work, using the extremely unpopular Anti-Lifespan Formation. This plan is impeccable.

"But the accident still happened. The three of us opened a barbecue shop here. This kind of place is most suitable for collecting local information. We noticed a disciple of the Laurel Immortal Palace passing by here by chance. She seems to be proficient in formations and saw through the Anti-Lifespan Talisman on the small flag!"

"The disciples of the five great immortal sects cannot be moved. We were worried that Governor Li would be exposed and implicate the entire Immortal Cult, so we persuaded him to hide quickly. He said that this is a critical period and he wants to use the Anti-Lifespan Formation to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and must not hide. We had no choice but to kill him before the Great Xia caught Governor Li to eliminate future troubles!"

"You also noticed the government people just now, right? The leader is the Chief Constable Fang Qingyun. What is he doing with so many people? He must be stopping the activation of the Anti-Lifespan Formation and arresting Governor Li!"

Tang Yuansheng nodded, thinking that Lu Yang and the three did the right thing. The matter of the Laurel Immortal Palace disciple in Yanjiang Jun can be checked and cannot be deceived. Li Shouyi also really values the promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.

The general Branch Master is in the Nascent Soul stage. Yanjiang Jun is a small Jun, so the Branch Master will be in the Golden Core stage. Li Shouyi wants to be promoted to a place with developed cultivation to be a Branch Master, and must be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage now.

The same is true for the government identity on the surface. If the realm is not enough, promotion is difficult.

Man Gu looked at Lu Yang in surprise. The plan did not include meeting Tang Yuansheng after killing Branch Master Chu, and the reason for killing was not thought of at all. How did Brother Lu manage to lie through his teeth?

Meng Jingzhou quietly gave Lu Yang a thumbs up. The reason Lu Yang thought of was not much different from what he made up on the spot.
