The so-called trouble is the affairs of Shura Palace.
Shura Palace is the most powerful sect in Qinglong Continent, so there are naturally many affairs to deal with, both big and small. Wu Tian had just arrived at Cuishanju, and before he could even sit down, elders came one after another to ask for instructions on this and that. For a while, Wu Tian was so busy that he was overwhelmed.
Therefore, he admired the Great Venerable very much. He had been managing the Shura Palace alone for such a long time, but he had never seen him tired.
"Master Wu Tian, a disciple has come to report that a source of black iron ore has been discovered in the Chiyang Mountains. It has also been discovered by several first-class sects. How should the master of the branch handle this?"
Looking at the respectful great elder in front of him, Wutan's face darkened. He didn't want to scold him, after all, the other party was loyal to Shura Palace and everything he did was for the good of Shura Palace. But if he didn't scold him, he would feel very unhappy.
"Great Elder, can you let me rest for a while?" Wutan asked tentatively.
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Okay, you can take a rest, and I will give you some suggestions. If it's okay, just nod your head."
At first, when he heard the first part of the words, Wutan was quite happy, thinking that although the man was a little old, he was quite considerate. However, when he heard the second part of the words, he could not help but smile bitterly. This old guy was really too loyal!
"Master, I have three suggestions. First, we send people to kill the people from other sects and seize their spiritual veins..."
Before the Great Elder finished speaking, Wu Tian shouted to the sky: "Where is Ye Yi!"
“Swish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and beard immediately appeared in Cuishanju. This man was the great protector Ye Yi.
"Master of the Branch Palace, what do you want me to do?" Ye Yi looked puzzled.
"You are the previous Great Venerable, and you know the situation of Shura Palace better than I do. From today on, you will manage all the affairs of Shura Palace on behalf of this Palace Master until the Great Venerable comes out of retreat."
After Wu Tian finished speaking, he didn't give Ye Yi any chance to refute and soared into the sky. Before Ye Yi and the other man could come to their senses, he had disappeared without a trace.
After they came to their senses, the two old men with white hair looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Some people dream of becoming the controller of Shura City, such as the Third Venerable, who had always been thinking about seizing power.
As for the branch hall master, even when the Shura Hall was handed over to him, he still thought it was troublesome and didn't want to bother with it.
"A hundred years have passed in a flash. I wonder what level of cultivation I can achieve after a hundred years of meditation. But before I start, I have to wait for the little guys to come back. Let's go to Dragon Village first! See how Longhu is doing now, and take inventory of the mustard seed bags of the two ancestors of the Weapon Sect and the Forbidden Sect."
High in the sky, Wutan muttered something, waved his hand, and a door quickly opened. Then he strode in.
Long Village has not changed much after Longhu returned, but the two graves have been filled and tombstones have been erected in front of the graves. Longhu sits alone at the entrance of Long Village, staring into the void in a daze.
When he saw Wutan walking out of the gate, he didn't react much. He just glanced at him and continued to look at the void in front of him, silently.
"Alas!" Wu Tian sighed softly, patted Long Hu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will find all the remains of everyone without missing a single one."
After a long silence, Long Hu said, "Wutian, I want to go to Yin Yang River."
"Yin Yang River?" Wu Tian was stunned.
"In the past when I was in Huoyun Sect, I heard Huoyunzi mention that there are two wells, one yin and one yang, in the Yin Yang River. This time I am going to swallow up these wells and achieve the most powerful magical power in the Soul Devouring Magic Canon - Yin Yang Eyes!"
"Is there such a thing?" Wutan was surprised.
"Well, this spring is called the Yin-Yang Spring. It is the secret of the Tianyang Sect and the Yunu Sect. It is also the fundamental reason why the two sects have been able to continue to this day. Only the sect masters of all generations know about it. One day, Huoyunzi went out for training and accidentally discovered the Yin-Yang Spring. However, due to the power of the two sects, Huoyunzi never dared to take action." Long Hu explained, his dark eyes flashing with a sharp light.
After a moment of silence, Wu Tian asked, "Long Hu, has your magic pupil given birth to a magic spirit?"
"Demonic spirit?" Only then did Long Hu retract his gaze and look at Wutan, with deep doubt in his eyes.
"Nothing. Oh, by the way, can you lend me the Soul Devouring Codex? Perhaps I can learn from the codex and comprehend some magical skills."
Wutan smiled slightly. He knew from Longhu's expression that his magic eye did not give birth to a magic spirit. However, he was still worried and wanted to trick the Soul-Devouring Magic Book into giving it to Xiao Wuhao to study and see if there were any hidden dangers.
"Given our relationship, there's no problem. Wait a moment. I'll wait for you to brand one."
Long Hu forced a smile, and with a flip of his hand, a jade slip the size of a palm immediately appeared. Then, a dark light shot out from the top of his head and merged into the jade slip.
"Take it! But it's better not to spread this evil spell to others." Long Hu warned.
Wu Tian nodded, and put the jade slip into the mustard seed bag without leaving any trace, letting little Wu Hao analyze it carefully. Then he took out two mustard seed bags and said with a smile: "When the little guys come back, I will accompany you to the Yin Yang River."
"Are you going too?" Long Hu frowned.
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, "Don't think too much. I have something to do in Yin Yang River. The Great Venerable said that he got the Holy Forbidden Stone in Yin Yang River, so I want to go and take a look."
"Yes, strictly speaking, the holy forbidden stones are rarer than the holy weapons. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, we should find out the truth. But overall, I still want to thank you." Long Hu smiled innocently.
"It's too polite for us two brothers to say thank you." Wutan shook his head and punched him on the chest.
"Eh!" Long Hu asked in surprise, "Is the mustard seed bag in your hand from the two ancestors of the Weapon Sect and the Forbidden Sect?"
Wu Tian nodded.
Seeing this, Longhu's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Let's take a look. Maybe the old monster from the Forbidden Sect has a few Saint-level Forbidden Stones in his mustard seed bag."
"Yes! Come on, come on, help together."
So, the two of them sat on the ground without any image, took out the treasures from the two mustard bags, and began to count them one by one.
"The Forbidden Sect is truly amazing. They actually have so many materials for refining weapons." Looking at the mountains of iron lumps in front of him, Long Hu was amazed.
"It's a pity that all of them are used to refine spiritual weapons and kingly divine weapons." Wutan pouted. There were a lot of materials, but none of them caught his eye.
Long Hu was speechless. If this pile of materials was placed anywhere, it would probably cause a rush for looting. However, Wutan looked down on it. It made sense. For someone who was surrounded by treasures, these materials were no different from scrap metal.
"Holy Forbidden Stone!" After a moment, Wutan suddenly exclaimed, and in his hand, there was a black stone the size of a palm.
"I told you there was one!" Long Hu smiled proudly.
After putting the forbidden stones away, Wutan worked harder and harder, searching carefully, but he didn't find a single one until the end, not even a holy-level forbidden talisman. It must have been used up by the ancestor of the Forbidden Sect when fighting against the earth slaves.
However, Wutan didn't care much about it, because when he read the memory of the ancestor of the Forbidden Sect, he had already obtained information about the Holy Forbidden Sect. As long as he broke through to the Holy level of soul power, he could comprehend it according to the information in the memory.
"hack!"
Suddenly, Longhu shouted, holding a shining axe in his hand, and chopped it into the air. A thousand-foot mountain in the distance was split in half on the spot. He swung it a few more times, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I like this axe."
"I'll give it to you if you like it." Wutan said with a smile. This axe was the weapon of the ancestor of the Weapon Sect and could be called the emperor among imperial weapons. Longhu was already very powerful, and with this axe, he would be even more powerful.
"Then I won't be polite." Long Hu smiled naively, looked at it carefully for a while, and named it the God-killing Axe!
"God-killing Axe, are you planning to become a demon king?" Wu Tian joked.
"Haha! So what if I'm the devil? The strongest creature in the world is called a god. Then I will kill the gods and be above them!" Longhu laughed wildly to the sky, his domineering aura rising into the sky, as if he looked down on everything.
"I look forward to this day coming sooner, then I can have some leisure time." Wutan said with a smile.
The two of them seemed to have returned to their childhood, talking and laughing, discussing everything, their faces filled with a warmth that had been hard to see before.
After half an hour of inventory, they finally cleared out the two mustard bags. However, apart from the Holy Forbidden Stone and the God-Slaying Axe, they did not find any treasure that could excite the two.
Finally, all the things were put into a mustard seed bag and sent to the Star Realm by Wu Tian. This caused dissatisfaction among Xiao Wu Hao, who said that Wu Tian treated the Star Realm as a garbage dump. What else could Wu Tian say about this statement? He could only smile bitterly.
With nothing to do, Wutan and the other person started chatting again.
Unconsciously, the sky had gradually darkened, the full moon gradually rose into the sky, and the soft moonlight spread down, making the world seem to be wrapped in a layer of silver, which was instantly magnificent.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, a series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the night sky. Wutan and the other man looked up and saw six streams of light shooting down from the sky.
Seeing this, Wutan's face suddenly darkened, and a strong feeling of uneasiness swept through his heart like a tide, because he actually saw Jun Haotian in those six streams of light, and the other five were none other than the five little beasts.
“Swish!”
The five little guys and Jun Haotian landed in front of Wutan one after another, all in silence, especially the little guy, who was circling his two little paws in front of his chest, as if he had committed a heinous mistake, with his head lowered and his eyes wandering.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wutan frowned.
Hearing this, the little fellow was startled and glanced at Wutan slyly. Seeing his gloomy face, he quickly looked away, looking very well-behaved and more honest than ever before.
"Let me tell you!" Jun Haotian glanced at the little guy, took a few steps forward, and said with a bow: "Captain, this is what happened."
It turned out that one year after Wutan left the Dark City, Su Lao suddenly appeared in Yingshan and used the god-level imperial killing ban to kill everyone by surprise.
Fortunately, there was a strong person named Shui Fengwu among them, who broke the forbidden talisman at the critical moment. Even so, she suffered fatal injuries.
Old Su was at the perfect stage of cultivation, and the remnants of the Sikong clan rebelled again, so they were naturally no match for him. Crazy Shao was blasted into the Devil's Mountains, and his life or death was unknown. Jun Haotian himself barely escaped with great difficulty.
"You are the culprit. I will punish you slowly later." Wu Tian glanced at the little guy, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Jun Haotian and said in a deep voice: "Where are Sikong Yanran and Shui Fengwu?"
Jun Haotian shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard from the elder that he seemed to be bringing her to the five continents to find you. I originally wanted to come back as soon as possible to inform you, the legion commander, but I searched the entire Dark City and didn't find any ancient species, and I didn't dare to go to the Devil Mountains. Fortunately, the little guys came today, otherwise, I might be trapped in the Dark City for the rest of my life."
