Chapter 444: The Decayed Fairy Makes a Move
The one who seized Sect Master Lu was the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator. In this way, everything made sense.
Why was there no record of Integration stage cultivators fighting? A Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator seizing an Integration stage cultivator was easy!
Why was Sect Master Lu unremarkable, but instead the first to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage among his peers? He had already been seized by the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, which was equivalent to re-entering the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and the process was naturally easy!
These were all testimonies. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had no solid evidence, but they couldn't think of any other possibilities!
Provincial Governor Lü and others were about to rush to the Corpse-Driving Sect to congratulate, when they heard Sect Master Lu laughing loudly, laughing wantonly, completely different from his previous personality.
"Finally, finally returned to the Tribulation Transcendence stage!"
"No, you are not Lu Baqian, who are you!" Provincial Governor Lü reacted instantly and shouted sternly, a sense of unease arising spontaneously.
Wu Youdao and Venerable Cang Lei congratulated "Sect Master Lu."
"Congratulations to Daoist Wu Ji for successfully crossing the tribulation."
Hearing this, Elder Gai's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief: "Wu Ji? Venerable Wu Ji?! Venerable Wu Ji of the Wushi Sect!"
The Wushi Sect could be evaluated as a super-grade sect precisely because they had Venerable Wu Ji, a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator!
During the battle just now, Elder Gai was still wondering why history recorded that Venerable Wu Ji's whereabouts were unknown, and he should be in a deep sleep, reviving in the great world.
Since that was the case, why were only the Integration stage cultivators of the Wushi Sect fighting? Where was Venerable Wu Ji?
Now it was finally clear—Venerable Wu Ji had been under his nose from beginning to end!
Now Great Yu had three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators on this side, which increased the pressure on Qiu Jinan, who was already in a difficult situation.
The man in the white paper hat stared at Venerable Wu Ji, who occupied Sect Master Lu, with gnashing teeth.
Huang Ming and Meng Tian had already explained this matter, which was also one of the reasons why he was determined to deal with the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator.
Due to the different view of life and death of corpse-driving craftsmen, there were rumors in the outside world that the founder of the Jiuyou Sect walked out of the Corpse-Driving Sect.
This was actually a rumor, but one point was not wrong: the view of life and death of corpse-driving craftsmen was very close to the Jiuyou Sect, which led to the Jiuyou Sect naturally having a good impression of corpse-driving craftsmen.
For Venerable Wu Ji, who seized Sect Master Lu, the Jiuyou Sect Master was naturally furious.
His original plan was to cooperate with Qiu Jinan to quickly solve Wu Youdao before Venerable Wu Ji returned to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. He didn't expect that Great Yu had Venerable Cang Lei on this side, nor did he expect Venerable Wu Ji to cross the tribulation early.
Seeing that his side was all here, Wu Youdao revealed his greedy and fierce nature.
"Provincial Governor Lü, Gu has already given you a chance to let you hand over the power of National Fortune. Since you don't hand it over, Gu can only do it yourself!"
The moment the word "do" fell, the three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators attacked Provincial Governor Lü at the same time. The spiritual power of the entire Hanshui City became violent. This blow was like destroying the world, directly hitting Provincial Governor Lü into a near-death state. Fortunately, the power of National Fortune saved his life, otherwise, just by this blow, Provincial Governor Lü would have died on the spot.
Provincial Governor Lü fell to the ground with a thud, falling to the residence, beside Lu Yang.
Lu Yang's eyes jumped. Things were bad to the extreme. Great Yu actually had three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators on this side, and the strength was too disparate.
"As expected of the power of National Fortune, he still didn't die like this. Gu is really more and more wanting the power of National Fortune. I don't know what degree Gu's dragon-tiger Qi will transform into."
Provincial Governor Lü struggled to get up, snorted coldly, and was ready to die: "Do you think that if you kill me, the power of National Fortune will belong to you? Ridiculous to the extreme. Even if I die, the power of National Fortune will return to its original position. You won't get a single bit!"
"Is that so?" Venerable Wu Ji revealed an eerie smile and took out a very familiar talisman, "Guess why I wanted to seize this body?"
"Soul-Dispelling Talisman!" Provincial Governor Lü recognized this talisman and felt a sense of unease. This was a talisman made by the government and the Corpse-Driving Sect overnight to solve the ghost plague. The one in Venerable Wu Ji's hand was the master talisman. To improve the power of the talisman, the master talisman was also printed with the mark of the Huangzhou Great Seal.
What was he going to do now that he took out this talisman!
Venerable Wu Ji raised the talisman, and countless light spots lit up in Hanshui City. These were all places where the Soul-Dispelling Talisman was used.
"Array rise!"
The talisman in Venerable Wu Ji's hand burned, and the light spots in the city became more brilliant, connecting into a surface, forming a large array. Provincial Governor Lü felt that the power of National Fortune was being stripped out of his body bit by bit, becoming an ownerless thing.
"I went to great lengths to seize this body, just for this moment!" Venerable Wu Ji laughed endlessly, and his unpleasant laughter could be heard throughout Hanshui City.
"The previous Provincial Governor stepped down, and other forces were not trusted by the Imperial Court. You, the newly appointed Provincial Governor, can only trust our Corpse-Driving Sect. With the ghost plague disaster, only our Corpse-Driving Sect can solve it!"
"The Soul-Dispelling Talisman was refined by the Corpse-Driving Sect and your government together. The talisman naturally carries the meaning of the government, and coupled with the mark of the Huangzhou Great Seal, it strengthens this meaning."
"I used fierce ghosts as anchor points, let the disciples use the talisman to remove ghosts. Once the talisman and the ghost energy combined, they became the nodes of the array."
All the array masters guessed wrong. The array in Hanshui City was neither set up with fierce ghosts as nodes nor to interfere with the balance of Yin and Yang, but relied on the Soul-Dispelling Talisman to set up the array.
But the array masters didn't know the existence of the Soul-Dispelling Talisman at all, and no one paid attention to the problem of the talisman.
"Talisman, ghost removal are all the meaning of your government, so the array is also the meaning of your government. This is equivalent to the government deliberately giving up the power of National Fortune!" Venerable Wu Ji revealed a sneer. The conditions for making the power of National Fortune become an ownerless thing were extremely harsh, and it required the government to actively give it up.
For this reason, he arranged all these events, just to obtain the power of National Fortune!
Feeling the power of National Fortune losing control bit by bit and becoming an ownerless thing, Provincial Governor Lü felt powerless. If it were replaced by a Provincial Governor with experience, he would not make this fatal mistake.
"Cannot let them obtain the power of National Fortune!" Qiu Jinan and the Jiuyou Sect Master hurriedly made a move.
But how could the two of them be the opponents of three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators.
"Daluo Triple Strength!"
"Heavenly Punishment Thunder!"
"Corpse Energy for a Thousand Miles!"
Three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators attacked at the same time, and Qiu Jinan and the Jiuyou Sect Master flew out, coughing up blood constantly.
A substance that looked like light and water floated out of Provincial Governor Lü's body, forming strands and sheets, floating into the air.
Wu Youdao saw the power of National Fortune he dreamed of, stretched out his large hand, cast "Universe in the Palm," and pressed it toward Provincial Governor Lü.
And Lu Yang and others were beside Provincial Governor Lü.
"The power of National Fortune belongs to Gu!"
"This Fairy also thinks this power of National Fortune is quite good. Why not let this Fairy use it first?"
A light and brisk voice suddenly rang out, echoing between heaven and earth, not knowing the source.
A figure suddenly appeared between Provincial Governor Lü and the large hand, stretched out a slender jade hand, and absorbed the power of National Fortune.
"Just this, and you have the nerve to say that what you cast is 'Universe in the Palm'?"
The woman sneered, raised her hand and slapped, knocking Wu Youdao's large hand away. Wu Youdao held his wrist tightly, his palm trembling constantly, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
The woman was wrapped in the power of National Fortune, and her face could not be seen clearly. She had a good figure, bare jade feet, like a fairy descending to the world, sacred and inviolable, making people worship.
"Who are you!"
Wu Youdao stared at the holy goddess in front of him, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
He let Provincial Governor Lü make a move, and even later Qiu Jinan and the man in the white paper hat came to the rescue, he was still confident of victory. In front of absolute power, these people couldn't turn the tide.
But now, he felt that things seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.
Since he was born, he had never had this feeling.
"What is the Heavenly Court Sect? What is Dou Tianzun?" Venerable Cang Lei and Venerable Wu Ji looked at each other, seeing the panic in each other's eyes.
Their purpose for this trip was the power of National Fortune. When Wu Youdao was about to grab the power of National Fortune, they were all staring at the movement around them.
