Mr. Gu, my wife went to register you again.

Chapter 1098 Let go

This is an underground palace that is not too big but exudes solemnity. There are more than a dozen seats on both sides of the palace. However, it is empty at the moment. There is only a middle-aged man sitting on the seat in the center above the palace, holding his forehead with one hand and closing his eyes. His eyes were resting and he seemed a little tired.

Hearing a series of footsteps, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. After seeing the person clearly, a smile appeared on his face, "Tao'er, when did you get out of seclusion?"

"Ming Tao meets the clan leader!" Lu Mingtao was about to bow down.

The middle-aged man who was still sitting on the seat suddenly came to Lu Mingtao's side and supported his sinking body, "Mingtao, there are no outsiders here, so why be so polite!"

"Hehe, then I won't be pretentious." The young man who was serious before suddenly turned into a playful smile and sat down on the chair next to him, "Jacob, I just came out of seclusion today. Did something bad happen here?"

"Mingtao, you are right!" Lu Jie did not sit back in his previous seat, but sat next to Lu Mingtao, "You have been in retreat for fifty years, but depending on your mental strength, I'm almost catching up with you, Uncle Jie." Then I told him everything that happened during Lu Mingtao's retreat.

……

"Ming Tao, I suspect that what happened recently in Youyun Junglin and Shuo Kingdom may be related to your father!"

"Then I'll go over there and have a look to see what this guy wants to do?" Lu Mingtao scratched his head. Back then, like his father, he was trying to find a way to lift the curse, but the father and son chose two. Very different paths. Lu Hao chose to use the "death energy" of Shadow Swamp, while Lu Mingtao believed that as long as his cultivation ability surpassed that of the ancestor who placed the curse, he could lift the curse on his people.

"It's perfect for you to go there. Originally, I wanted to go and have a look in person, but because of this damn curse, I can only check at the junction of Shadow Swamp and Cloud Forest. Yue'er After all, these 'Dusk Guards' are still a little young, and they are still lacking in strength and experience."

After the rebellion that year, Lu Jie led his followers who were deeply troubled by the curse to the Shadow Swamp. Because the Shadow Swamp was too dangerous, some followers had no choice but to keep their underage children. Now they are all He was taken to the Danluo Peninsula and became a hostage. Lu Mingtao is an exception. Because his mother is the daughter of the current elder of the Presbyterian Church, he was not imprisoned as a minor. When he became an adult, he secretly left the Danluo Peninsula and ran to Shadow Swamp to join his father, Lu Hao. , but the father and son did not reunite for long before they separated again because of their respective choices. Lu Mingtao is now the only pure-bred Danyang person in the entire Shadow Danyang tribe who has not been affected by the curse.

Lu Mingtao knew that because of his mother's relationship, he was not welcomed here, but he didn't care. He had a free and easy personality. He focused on cultivation and followed the path of his own choosing. Why should he care about the opinions of passers-by? ?

"Ming Tao, please go and see Yue'er before you leave. You two haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Jacob, I got it! I'm going right away."

Lu Jie looked at the back of the person who had walked away, looking a little dazed, and murmured to himself: "Looking more and more like Lu Hao back then!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

"Xiao Yue'er, come here to complain to the Holy Tree again?"

"Brother Mingtao, you have been in retreat for another fifty years. When do you plan to start your next retreat?"

Lu Mingtao sat down next to Lu Ziyue, and just like before, the two of them stared blankly at the Danyang tree opposite.

"After finishing some things, prepare for the next retreat." Lu Mingtao turned around to check and found that the other party was still a little weak. It seemed that the injury he had suffered before was really serious. He said sternly: "Listen to what Jie Bo said over there. Sent five people to arrest you? Huh, I’ve written down all the names of these people, let’s see how I deal with them then!”

"Did my father tell you? This is obviously because he couldn't avenge his daughter, so he deliberately let you know, because he knew that Brother Mingtao loved me very much!" Lu Ziyue smiled, no longer the usual aloof. , more like a little sister acting coquettishly in front of her doting brother, "They sent five people, but there were actually four who hurt me. One of them must have been stopped by Liu Yuanshan and the others."

"Liu Yuanshan? Is that the human general that Jebo tried his best to win over? It's really not easy for a mere human to stop us Danyang people."

"It's a pity that they are all dead..." Lu Ziyue looked sadly and asked: "Brother Mingtao, are you going to the Dark Cloud Forest?"

"Yes! Have you guessed it?"

"Well! I'm useless. I can't share my father's worries, otherwise brother Mingtao can concentrate on his cultivation."

Lu Mingtao touched her head and comforted her: "Silly girl, the entire Yunzhao Grassland is now full of Eagle Cavalry Guards and Five Elements Guards. If I want to go, I will go around the Shadow Swamp, so don't blame yourself. , you have done a good job."

"Brother Mingtao, when we get to Youyun Forest, can you find out the whereabouts of a human named Yin Feng?"

"Is that the human man who was so lucky that he mistakenly took the three-marked elixir?"

"Sure enough, father told you about this." Lu Ziyue knew that her father had great trust and respect for the "brother Mingtao" in front of him.

"Haha, Jebo is full of expectations for the growth of this human man. He also asked me to take the time to inquire about him. You are indeed a father and daughter. Unlike my father, what is he thinking and doing now? I This son has no idea at all."

"Brother Mingtao..."

"Yue'er, it's okay. I'm just complaining. If I can find him this time, I can ask him face to face. Okay, it's time for me to get ready to hit the road." Lu Mingtao stood up and prepared to ask Lu Ziyue said goodbye.

"Brother Mingtao, now the activities of our 'Dusk Guard' and 'Shadow Guard' are limited to the area around the central king's tent. You must be careful when you go alone. There won't even be anyone to support you!" Lu Ziyue He warned worriedly.

Lu Mingtao said proudly: "Be careful! Your brother Mingtao can't be hurt by ordinary people now."

"But have you broken through the fifth level?"

"Awesome! Let's go!" Lu Mingtao waved his hand and walked outside calmly.

Obviously the color of the elixir on his forehead has just turned purple...

……

The two teams of Five Elements Guards lost their resistance in an instant, one of them was killed, and the remaining nine were transformed into undead puppets. This kind of puppet was forcibly wiped out by Lu Hao before the death energy swallowed up the "Xi" in the body. After becoming an undead, it became a puppet that could only obey his orders. As for the Five Elements Guard who was killed, it was purely to test whether the curse was still effective.

Lu Boqian looked at it dumbfounded, those were ten Five Elements Guards! How could it be so unbearable?

"You must be dumbfounded! Your Majesty was able to kill masters who were also in the fifth level five hundred years ago. Now after practicing the 'Death Qi', your cultivation level has increased greatly. Besides, these fourth-level Five Elements Guards have appeared here. The movie is like a shadowy swamp in a dense forest of clouds. It’s obvious that you are here to die!” Lu Mingxi stepped forward and patted Lu Boqian, calling him to come forward and clean up the loot, “Stop standing there stupidly and come with me quickly.” See what good things they have, it’s okay to keep one or two if you like them, our Lord has always been generous!”

……

The Danyang Presbyterian Church, located in a stone tower on the Danluo Peninsula, was in shock and panic.

"Should we send the Five Elements Guards and Eagle Cavalry Guards on Yunzhao Grassland?"

Lu Jiang, who had always been at odds with Luo Jiang, sarcastically said: "Sent to death?"

"We don't know the situation in the Cloud Forest at all now, and I don't agree with sending a large group of people there." At this moment, Luo Canghao, who had never participated in the bickering between the two, also spoke out his thoughts.

Luo Jiang, who originally wanted to retaliate, stopped talking after hearing this and looked at his father. Luo Chunkai, who had always protected his shortcomings, shook his head slightly at his son. Luo Canghao's strength is still higher than that of Luo Chunkai. Because he only likes to practice and does not like to talk, he is more like a shadow in the Presbyterian Church.

"What Canghao said makes sense. Although the ten Five Elements Guards are not too many, they lost contact inexplicably without even releasing the news. This is a bit unreasonable. According to the news from the Five Elements Guards on guard outside, I don't know why. , Now the 'death energy' permeating the dense cloud forest is getting thicker and thicker, and it is becoming more and more like the Shadow Swamp. If that is the case, it is just convenient for the traitors to hide in it." The great elder Luo Cangyu finished slowly, Then he said to his cousin: "Canghao, I have to trouble you to go there in person this time. Whether to fight or avoid is entirely up to you based on the actual situation. Remember, our clan has only a small number of people on this continent. Can’t afford it!”

"Okay, I'll get ready now."

Seeing that Luo Jiang was about to speak again, Luo Chunkai quickly gave the latter a wink to stop him.

……

As soon as Luo Jiang returned home, he stood back and asked angrily: "Father, why did you stop me? Does it mean that he alone has the final say in the entire Presbyterian Council? He suddenly handed over the command of half of the guards to his cousin. Brother, what are you doing?"

"Jiang'er, you can't lose the big for the small. Luo Cangyu can live for a hundred years at most. Luo Canghao can command the battle, but he is not good at strategy. If Luo Cangyu's own son hadn't died in the rebellion, he would have We will not be in a hurry to call back Luo Canghao, who serves as the commander of the United Legion at the 'Wrathful God Defense Line' in the southern wilderness." Luo Chunkai analyzed unhurriedly, "What if he takes command of the entire guard? Once Luo Chunkai After Cangyu dies, the positions of the patriarch and the great elder of Danyang Presbyterian Church are not ours."

"Should we let them go now..."

"Hmph, things in the Dark Cloud Forest are weird and weird. It's better if we don't get involved. We just need to recharge our batteries. You ask your brother to come back as soon as possible. Why are you messing around there if you have nothing to do?"

After hearing his father's words, Luo Jiang, who gradually figured it out, quickly accepted the order and resigned.

Luo Chunkai looked into the distance and murmured to himself with a ferocious face: "Luo Cangyu, you have suppressed me for so many years, haven't you ended up in a situation where you have lost your son in old age? Then everything you have will not be mine?" Ha ha!"
