Chapter 208 Kill the thief Lu and rob the fairy!
The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.
Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue ran forward for two hundred miles. There were more and more traces of battles. Several mummies appeared in the cracks of the dry ground. They had been sucked dry of blood by Ba.
Seeing the afterglow of the sunset disappear over the horizon, the two did not continue forward but rested on the spot.
Even though the land is barren for thousands of miles, it is still a little chilly at night because it is far away from the lair of the drought demon.
"Zizzizi..."
Ling Jiaoyue was roasting a wild deer until it was sizzling. Everything was quiet and Lu Zhan was meditating nearby.
Fairy Ling looked at the roasted deer and suddenly felt something was wrong. She was clearly an unattainable woman in the eyes of the world, so how did she suddenly become Lu Zhan's cook? This was completely different from her past style of doing things.
Ling Jiaoyue felt even more strange when she saw the little Pegasus and Queque drooling in anticipation.
This situation is like a couple taking their two children on an adventure, and she, as a mother, has to take care of the children's food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
This idea shocked Fairy Ling, and she almost blurted out, "Absolutely not!"
"Hmm?" Lu Zhan was meditating and opened his eyes when he heard this.
The barren land stretches for thousands of miles, the Milky Way hangs upside down in the sky, a beauty in a white gauze skirt sits on a rock with her plump and graceful body, she is turning over a roasted greasy wild deer in her hands, her clear pupils are slightly trembling, her moist lips are shaking slightly, as if she has seen something bad.
"It's okay..." Ling Jiaoyue threw those messy thoughts out of her mind. She thought to herself that she had been with Lu Zhan for too long and had actually become a little crazy.
Lu Zhan looked at her beautiful face and smiled warmly: "If there is something you can't untie, you can tell me, maybe I can help you."
Ling Jiaoyue's heart was already in a mess. When she heard this, she couldn't help but think of the rumors about Lu Zhan. She felt even more unhappy. She raised her red lips and said sarcastically, "Yes, Lord Lu has always been the most understanding of women."
Lu Zhan felt that something was wrong. He had good intentions, but this woman's attitude was wrong.
Lu Zhan seriously corrected him: "If I am good at understanding women's clothes, how can you sit in front of me with all your clothes on?"
Ling Jiaoyue was slightly startled, and her already rosy face became even redder. She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "That's not what I meant!"
Thinking back to when she was rescued, Lu Zhan had said a strange word to her, which she still remembered vividly. The word was "a single thought of insertion".
Now tell her "good at understanding clothes"!
This guy is obviously very talented and knowledgeable, but he just doesn't do his job seriously and has ruined these good words.
“Oh…” Lu Zhan showed a disappointed look: “I thought Miss Ling suddenly became more open-minded.”
Fairy Ling snorted coldly and simply didn't look at him. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is a barren land. I don't know when the drought demon will jump out. You actually still have the mood to talk nonsense with me."
I'm not talking nonsense, my mouth is so far away... Lu Zhan smiled: "Feed the two children first."
"I won't have a baby with you!" Fairy Ling's thoughts were already complicated, and after being teased by Lu Zhan, she felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. When she heard the word "child", she almost blurted it out.
After saying this, she realized that Lu Zhan didn't mean that, but she was overreacting.
Lu Zhan looked at her with a smile on his face. He said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said thousands of words, making Ling Jiaoyue feel ashamed.
Queque looked at the roasted deer and slurped her saliva, saying, "If you want to have a baby, go home and have it. Is the roasted deer ready now? I won't disturb you from having a baby if you are full..."
This stupid bird! Ling Jiaoyue's slightly raised chest rose and fell, but she saw that her little Pegasus was also drooling. She said with a straight face: "It will be done soon."
A cool breeze blew in, carrying the aroma of the barbecue far away.
Suddenly at this moment, a bloody smell came from the wind. Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue raised their eyes at the same time, and saw a black shadow jumping out of the darkness and staggering towards them.
The shadow cried for help with difficulty: "Help..."
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Jiaoyue, and they saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
Ling Jiaoyue reached for her sword and subconsciously turned around to look.
...
The wind howled in the dark red fields.
The black shadow staggered over, its robe and long hair fluttering in the night wind. Behind the black shadow there were two other black shadows, a total of three people rushing towards this direction.
There were actually three cultivators.
The three cultivators were covered in blood, their clothes were torn, and they looked extremely miserable.
Perhaps the fire caught their attention, and the three cultivators came over as if they had seen their own father.
Ling Jiaoyue looked at them warily: "Who are you?"
Any strangers encountered in the mountains cannot be trusted, let alone this is on an extremely cruel fairy island. Fairy Ling has a stern face. Although she is roasting a wild deer, the long sword at her waist is ready to be used at any time.
"Don't be afraid, fellow Taoists. We are cultivators from Suzaku Valley!" The leading cultivator wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to bow: "We were passing by here and were injured by a drought demon. Please help us, fellow Taoists!"
There are many sects of all sizes in the Great Zhou. In addition to the five well-known immortal sects, there are also many small sects.
Zhuque Valley is one of them, famous for its expertise in fire magic and cooking.
Although I don't know what the Suzaku Valley's fire technique has to do with its cooking skills, this school of thought does exist.
Lu Zhan glanced at them, trying to find any flaws in them, but he saw several deep scratches on their exposed arms. The scratches were emitting black air, and it was obvious that they were injured by the Ba creatures.
"So you are fellow Taoists from Suzaku Valley." Lu Zhan smiled warmly and asked, "Is Hanba chasing you?"
The cultivator from the Vermillion Bird Sect shook his head: "The drought demon ate six of our fellow disciples and has now returned to its nest, but we are seriously injured. If we go out now, our blood will surely attract the attention of the monster... Please save us, fellow Taoists. We are willing to help you kill the drought demon!"
Queque bared his teeth and protested: "How do you know we want to kill Hanba?"
The cultivator from Suzaku Valley smiled bitterly and said, "If you didn't want to kill Hanba and find Liehuozhi, why would you risk entering the Red Land?"
Lu Zhan smiled without saying anything and had a brief eye contact with Ling Jiaoyue. Both of them saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
After a brief eye contact, Lu Zhan smiled faintly and said, "We do want to kill Hanba, but we don't necessarily have to cooperate with others."
"Please help us, fellow Taoist. When we return, Suzaku Valley will not let us down..." The leading cultivator rolled his eyes and continued, "We have a junior sister..."
Lu Zhan's expression remained unchanged, but his smile was much warmer: "Never mind, you three killed Hanba for the sake of the people. Although you failed, it can still be considered a meritorious service. We are not heartless people. In this case, the three of you should heal your wounds here. After you recover, we will kill Hanba together."
"Brother, you are so kind. We brothers thank you." The cultivator from Suzaku Valley hurriedly thanked him and introduced himself: "My name is Zhu Youwei, and this is my third junior brother Zhu Youchen, and my fourth junior brother Zhu Youli... May I ask what your name is?"
You don’t even know my name... Lu Zhan’s eyes were filled with even more doubt. It was not because he was narcissistic, but after he became famous, his portraits were being sold in many places.
During this trip to the fairy island, Lu Zhan was a prominent figure envied by many cultivators, and rumors were rife. Even if one did not know what he looked like, one could guess what he looked like based on his appearance.
Who can carry a fairy with him?
Now these few people seemed to have just come out of the mountains and had no idea of his identity, but Suzaku Valley could not possibly have a 2G network, not to mention that they had just played the "junior sister" card, which meant they knew something about him.
Lu Zhan was full of thoughts. He waved his hands and said solemnly, "When we are out, we should help each other. You don't have to thank me... I am just a nobody. My name is Xie Chunyan, and I am from Yunshui Sect with Miss Ling."
"Ms. Ling, of course we know you are a fellow Taoist from the Yunshui Sect. I am so sorry for the disrespect." The three brothers from the Suzaku Valley bowed and said, "Sorry for bothering you two fellow Taoists."
Fairy Ling was a little distressed. Sometimes being too famous was not a good thing, otherwise she could say her name was Jiang Ningshuang.
"Thank you so much, brother!" After expressing his gratitude, the three brothers from Suzaku Gate sat beside him to meditate and heal their wounds.
Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue remained calm, but they both saw the defensiveness in each other's eyes.
On this fairy island, even the sisters and brothers who were close to them on a daily basis could not be trusted. How could this group of strangers trust them and heal their wounds here?
Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue both don’t think they look like good people... When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong.
Lu Zhan did not act rashly. He did not know the other party's movements yet, so he did not want to alert the enemy rashly. If the other party wanted to harm him, it was not certain who would harm whom.
Since the three opponents were injured by Ba, it means they have been deep into the red land. Lu Zhan’s current goal is to go deep into the red land to pick the Fiery Ganoderma and then kill the young marquis.
If these three people are really related to the young marquis or the Twelve Land Alliance, they are undoubtedly the best stepping stones.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan smiled and shared the delicious roasted wild deer with Que Que and Xiao Tianma.
"Gurgle..." The sound of a hungry stomach suddenly sounded in the dark night. The sound came from the three brothers of Suzaku Valley.
Although cultivators can fast, they will be weaker when injured, and their bodies instinctively crave to be filled with food. When the three brothers from Suzaku Valley smelled the fragrance, their stomachs were aroused and they growled with hunger.
Hearing the rumbling stomachs of the three brothers from Suzaku Valley, Queque acted even faster, clearing out the remaining venison as quickly as possible for fear that it would be stolen.
The three brothers of Suzaku Valley secretly complained that Lu Zhan was too stingy. He didn't even share a piece of meat with them and ate it himself with his mouth full of grease.
In fact, the three brothers of Suzaku Valley naturally knew Lu Zhan’s identity. Who in the entire fairy island didn’t know about the cruel and ruthless Lu Guanqi?
Lu Zhan's reputation is very similar to that of the Immortal Zhenyuan from hundreds of years ago, both of them were morally corrupt.
They pretended not to know Lu Zhan, and they naturally had their own plans.
Their Suzaku Valley had been cooperating with the Marquis' Mansion decades ago. Whenever the Marquis' Mansion had some dirty things that were inconvenient to do, they would step forward to help deal with them. It can be said that Suzaku Valley has become the house slaves of the Marquis' Mansion.
Although the Marquis' Mansion is not as prosperous as before, Suzaku Valley still sticks with it. It's not because Suzaku Valley is loyal, but simply because the master of Suzaku Valley is the brother-in-law of Marquis Yongchang. However, outsiders don't know this secret.
After all, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang actually came from a small and insignificant sect. How could she save face if she told others about this?
When Marquis Yongchang married, he deliberately fabricated a holy image for his wife that was unparalleled in heaven and on earth, and she must not be ruined by the Suzaku Valley.
So much so that they all communicated privately.
When the young marquis learned that Lu Zhan had stepped into the red land, he sent them to negotiate with Hanba, hoping to cooperate with Hanba and kill Lu Zhan together.
The fellow disciples in Suzaku Valley were very excited about this matter.
OK!
Who is the most popular person among the young generation of cultivators? It must be Lu Zhan. This kid can cross the border to kill masters, and he is like a fish in water in the Zhenyuan Secret Realm. He is unparalleled in the limelight.
If they could kill Lu Zhan, their worth would immediately increase hundreds of times, and they would become famous all over the world!
Killing Lu Zhan and snatching the fairy, this is the dream of many cultivators?
The three brothers of Suzaku Valley signed a military order on the spot and brought their fellow apprentices to negotiate with Hanba. If other people negotiated with Hanba, they might not have any chance of winning, but they were from Suzaku Valley.
The Suzaku Valley is famous for its divine fire skills, which are extremely similar to the "fire" of the Hanba. When it comes to the Hanba's stage, if it wants to make further progress, it can only continue to regress to its ancestors. And they in the Suzaku Valley have something that can help the Hanba return to their ancestors.
But even so, the negotiations did not go smoothly.
The damn Hanba had lived for who knows how many years and had never seen the world, let alone the power of the divine fire skill. He thought they were liars and insisted on having a try.
So Hanba sucked the blood dry from several of their brothers before he could taste the "fire" in their bodies.
This "smell of fire" made Hanba realize that things were not simple, so he was willing to negotiate with them.
After their exaggeration and lies, the drought demon was finally convinced by them and agreed to cooperate with them to kill Lu Zhan.
However, they were not pretending to be injured, they were indeed beaten by Hanba. Hanba was extremely rude and had a strong sense of territory. When he saw them intruding, he started beating them without saying a word. If they had not been quick-witted and persuaded Hanba to cooperate in time, they would have been sucked by Hanba.
Now everything is ready. According to the original plan, the three brothers of Suzaku Valley must first gain Lu Zhan's trust, take Lu Zhan to the lair of Hanba, and then complete the backstab at the critical moment, and then become famous all over the world.
Thinking of this, the three brothers of Suzaku Valley were excited. They even prepared beautiful swords, because once Lu Zhan was killed, the sword that killed Lu Zhan would also become famous. It was necessary to choose a good sword.
Seeing Lu Zhan's stingy look, the three of them despised him even more.
After all, they are government employees, but they are so stingy. At least give them a deer leg to try.
I don’t know if the fairy is blind, she actually fell in love with such a stingy guy!
The three of them expressed their incomprehension and cursed in their hearts, but they were also a little proud. They all said that Lu Zhan was as shrewd as a devil, but now he was being deceived by them, wasn't he?
However, the three brothers of Suzaku Valley also knew very well that although they could take them in, Lu Zhan would never trust them. But as long as they stayed by Lu Zhan's side, the plan would have successfully taken the first step.
Using Qi to suppress their hunger, the three brothers from Suzaku Valley quickly healed their wounds. If their wounds got worse, they would be infected by the Ba poison, and the result would be more trouble than gain.
Time passed bit by bit, and the entire red land fell into silence. The three brothers of Suzaku Valley were immersed in healing, and Fairy Ling was also meditating beside them.
Lu Zhan slowly opened his eyes.
