Chapter 396 The King Returns, Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice

After hearing this voice, Lv Yan and the other two looked at each other and saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Because they had heard this voice for hundreds of years, it was too familiar.

On the other hand, the leaders of the forces in other states and the Jindan monks of Yuhua Palace changed their faces when they heard this voice, and then turned to look at the door.

Two people walked in one after another. The leader had gray hair, a radiant face, and a ruddy and shiny complexion. The most eye-catching thing was his pressure that had been radiating outward, which had reached the late Jindan realm.

Behind him followed a person, wearing a brown-purple robe, with his head pulled up and his chest puffed out, walking with his head held high, looking around everything in the hall, as if he wanted to engrave these people and things in his mind.

"Brother, are you out of retreat?"

Master Su trotted forward and greeted Master Lu with great surprise.

"Well, I have to come out of retreat. My Jiugong Sect will be divided up by others."

Master Lu's eyes swept across the faces of other Jindan cultivators one by one, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

All the cultivators who were swept by his eyes either lowered their heads and dared not look at him, or turned their heads away directly.

Even Master Liao of Yuhua Palace was the same. Although he was sent by a Yuanying cultivator, he was doing something that offended people, so it was inevitable that he was a little guilty.

"Uncle Lu."

Lv Yan and Luo Bin were also very excited. They didn't expect that the uncle who was about to die before not only looked a lot younger at this moment, but also made a breakthrough in cultivation.

This was great news for the Jiugong Sect, which was in crisis at the moment.

"Disciple greets Master and the two head brothers."

Seeing that several Jindan masters had already greeted each other, Xu Feng also stepped forward and saluted to greet them.

For a moment, the leaders of several other Jindan forces were left aside, making the scene a little awkward.

Master Lu didn't seem to notice anything about this, and was only talking to his junior brother and two nephews.

"Fellow Daoist Liao, please express your opinion. What should we do next?"

If we were to say who was the most panicked at this time, it must be the leader of the Five Elements Sect. He didn't expect the situation to have a shocking reversal at the last moment.

What he was thinking about now was no longer taking over the black copper vein from the Nine Palace Sect, but how to get out of it without causing trouble for his own sect.

Of course, he couldn't do all this by himself, so he could only rely on Master Liao, his backer.

"I don't quite understand what you said, Fellow Daoist Lin. What do you mean by what I'm going to do?

We were originally going to go our separate ways when we came to Jiugong Sect this time, but we just happened to meet halfway, and you complained to me about the Jiugong Sect's occupation of your territory.

Out of sympathy, I made this request on behalf of several fellow Daoists of your Jiugong Sect. These things are just disputes between you, and have nothing to do with me.

Fellow Daoist Lin, you should be careful with your words!"

Master Liao has already started to pass the buck. In this situation, he just wants to put himself out of the picture, so he threatened to send a message to the Jindan cultivators of other major forces.

Hearing this, the faces of the other Jindan cultivators turned pale instantly. They were in great pain at the moment. They originally thought that they could take advantage of the weakness of Jiugong Sect to bite off a piece of fat meat.

Now it seems that not only can all this not be realized, but they can't catch the fox, but get into trouble instead.

They heard that Master Liao was going to push all the faults onto them so as to get himself out of it.

Although they were all indignant at his shameless behavior, they had no better choice at this time.

They were destined to offend the Yuhua Palace and the Jiugong Sect. Now that they had already offended the Jiugong Sect, it would not matter if they offended it more deeply. The Yuhua Palace must not be offended.

Otherwise, their sects would disappear from the land of Wei without anyone noticing.

Everyone agreed on a countermeasure, and it was still Master Liao who came forward and explained to Master Lu with a smile.

After listening to the explanation carelessly, Master Lu was silent for a long time. Just when the Jindan of several forces were suffering, he spoke:

"Well, if that's the case, it means that the Taoist friends of the neighboring sects still have a deep grudge against my Jiugong Sect.

Since everyone is gathered here today, we might as well put everything on the table and talk openly.

Fellow Daoist Liao, you are here too, why don't you bear witness for me?"

Master Lu began to fight back.

"Okay, okay, Daoist Lu, you can talk to them. After the talk, I have good news to tell you, which is a gift to congratulate you on your breakthrough to the late Jindan stage."

When Master Liao heard Master Lu say this, he knew that not only himself, but also Yuhua Palace had been picked out of this vortex, which made him very happy.

The following confrontation was exciting. Master Lu, who was completely in the upper hand, was crazy against the leader of the Five Elements Sect, the leader of the Xuantian Palace, the leader of the Su Nu Valley, etc.

The last few people lost face, and under the witness of Master Liao, they finally signed a contract with the Jiugong Sect to determine the final division of the territory.

In this way, the ownership of these territories by the Jiugong Sect was officially confirmed, and with the endorsement of Yuhua Palace, no one dared to use these places to make trouble in the future.

"Okay, everyone, this time my sect encountered a great disaster, and you all helped us in time. On behalf of the entire Jiugong Sect, I would like to express my gratitude to you all.

But now that everything is done, there are still many miscellaneous matters waiting to be dealt with in the sect. Lu will not keep you for long, please do as you please!"

After signing the contract, Master Lu made a few false polite remarks and directly issued an order to expel the Jindan cultivators from other forces.

"In this case, then we will say goodbye, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Liao, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, take care on your way."

Xu Feng and his companions only sent them to the door of the reception room and turned back, while Master Liao sent them all the way to the front of the mountain gate and chatted for a long time before returning again.

"Fellow Daoist Liao, didn't you say before that you had any good news to tell Lu? Now you can tell me."

Master Lu was also unhappy with Master Liao, but he couldn't treat him like the Jindan cultivators of other forces.

It was because the other party was sent by Yuhua Palace. Although he became a disciple of Yuanying, it did not mean that Jiugong Sect could be on par with Yuhua Palace. The gap was still quite large.

Upon hearing this, Master Liao did not speak directly, but instead turned his eyes to Xu Feng who was standing aside. The meaning was very clear. We were talking about a big matter, and it seemed inappropriate for this junior who had established his foundation to stay here and listen.
