Immortal Tomb Chapter 15

XuanHuan

"I am rich now. I am rich now. Good-for-nothing girls sold at one hundred and fifty thousand premium quality spirit stones as good-looking vases. Fancy that I should be a moneybag in the land of immortality. I don't have to worry about the rest of my life even if I quit the job."

The butler rubbed his hands as he murmured happily.

"Well, Mr. Magistrate, what you doing over there. Please stand away. You are my master and I could not put a hand on you. If I put a hand on you, that will be a breach of code of conduct. I was born to a family of scholars and raised in a family of immortality pursuers. Far be it from me to break the code of conduct. "

At the sight that Lu Yun was still standing there, the butler couldn't help adding, "Even so, someone else may do it for me. Mr. Magistrate, do you know who he is? He is Mr. Liu, from the Five Devils Range. It will be a shame that Mr. Liu got you injured."

"I thought you had gone sourcing the cornerstones for tactical deployment."

Lu Yun's voice was somewhat cold.

"Well, since I have only six months working here, why do I bother to source the stones for you?"laughed Xue, "Only by selling Windy and the girl can I earn enough spirit stones to keep my life going on. Of course, these spirit stones are my own property, having nothing to do with you, Mr. Magistrate."

Mr. Liu did not pay attention to Lu Yun or the butler.

Instead, he fixed his eyes onto Yu Ying.

"That Windy sure has the blessed talents. But this girl, has the immortality potential. The lowest cultivation will make one a golden immortal. If I use her as the tripod furnace and take away her immortality potential, I can be a golden immortal too."

Mr. Liu looked at Yu Ying, almost watering his mouth.

Upon hearing the words of Mr. Liu, Xue changed his face, "Well, Mr. Liu, that's not how we do business. I want a new price. You can't take the girl away without another two hundred thousand premium quality spirit stones."

Xue said in a hurry, "Plus Windy, that's three hundred thousand."

"That's a high price but nothing big for me. Three hundred thousand, we have the deal."

Mr. Liu patted on his head, knowing that he let it slip.

"Enough."

At this moment, Lu Yun roared, "Xue Lang, who gave the authority to sell my appendages."

"Your father did."

Xue was still smiling, "Mr. Magistrate Senior ordered that the affairs of the mansion, big or small, are in the control of me before you turn sixteen. Windy and the girl beside you are with the Lu's now that they come back. Since they are one of the Lu's, I shall have the right to dispose or sell them."

Windy became pale and worried. For this moment, the amicable butler to her had turned into a monster.

"I haven't turn sixteen yet?"

Lu Yun frowned. It seemed that his father entrusted the butler to take care of his son, only to sign a contract with a devil.

"Windy, we may know a man's exterior but not his heart。"

Lu Yin looked at Windy, saying faintly.

"Right."

Windy nodded her head, biting the lips.

"A man's exterior and his heart? Well, your father adopted Windy only to make her a tripod furnace for you. Her blessed talents could have make your veins unobstructed. Too bad that you are impotent in cultivation. Well, try no more."

Xue Lang directly took off the mask and pointed a striking fact upon hearing what Lu Yun said.

Windy lowered her head, with no vitality in her face.

Suddenly, a big warm hand cupped her small hands. Then there was a shake of Windy's body and some vitality in her face again.

"Okay. Save the crap. It looks like you don't have a say over the junior magistrate. I'll take the girls first and have my disciples send the rest two hundred thousand to you."

Mr. Liu was somewhat impatient. As he uttered the words, there appeared several vanes from his body and came straight towards Windy and Yu Ying.

"You old Dryad from the Five Devils Range. You've been bold enough to take such liberties in the main city of Xuanzhou."

There was terrifying coldness in Yu Ying's face.

Suddenly, Yu Ying's face ascended to the mid-air, with her white dress and black hair drifting with the wind.

Seven swords flew over from her body and cut off the vanes in an instant.

Then, pointing at the sword with one hand, Yu Ying turned the seven swords into seven streaks of green lights which came straight towards Mr. Liu.

"Immortality Pursuer of Vital Pill Cultivation."

There was a radical change in Mr. Liu's face. But the next moment, there were joys. "Never did I think that you are an immortality pursuer of vital pill cultivation. Fantastic. If you absorb your vital energy, I would break through the pill level and become the Grand Dryad of God-like cultivation."

Mr. Liu was not a human but a dryad that lived a thousand years and ranked in the sophisticated period of vital pill cultivation.

Crackings.

Within moments, Mr. Liu's body changed greatly. His skinny figure expanded and his dry skin turned into barks.

Just a few breaths, and Mr. Liu became a tree man as high as one hundred feet. Moreover, his body was still growing, into a towering tree.

Puff.

The seven swords of Yu Ying got at Mr. Liu and chopped quite many leaves and twigs. But they did not cause any harm to him.

"Haha, why don't you just say yes, girl? There was no one able to hurt the Dryad of the same rank."

Liu Lao's voice became coarse. And it could not really be recognized as a human language. He himself had the cultivation of vital pill.

His feet became roots, that penetrated the slate of the Magistrate's Mansion and into the ground.

Gradually, Mr. Liu turned himself into a gigantic willow, with the top almost reaching the sky and half of the Mansion covered in shade.

And there was a human face right on the trunks of the willow.

"It's you, old monster. You got away into the Five Devils Range twelve hundred years. Didn't think you offer yourself to me."

On the way back, Yu Ying had cultivated the time. It was twelve hundred years ago when she was plotted against during her service as the Magistrate of Xuanzhou and died in the predestined doom which was a result of the artificial device.

As she spoke, Yu Ying's eyes were burnt with two terrifying streaks of green lights.

Boom.

Yu Ying moved her mody a little bit to confront with the old Dryad.

"Who are you?"

Mr. Liu's face turned as he heard the words of Yu Ying.

... ...

"Just my luck. Didn't expect Lu Yun to bring back a woman of vital pill cultivation for a trip. It is fortunate that personally invited Mr. Liu for his presence; otherwise I would die today."

Xue Lang was now sweating, "Still, given my cultivation in the post period of Golden Pill, I will never engage in the battle between two masters of vital pill cultivation. I'll hide and see. Money could wait until Mr. Liu brought down the woman."

"Oh, right. Get Windy down first before that. Gifted as she was, I only taught her a simple skill of Wind elements. The girl may not know how to fight."

So thought Xue Lang who was now coming up towards Lu Yun and Windy.

"Well, Mr. Magistrate, you've served the state. And you'll have to accept death as your destiny in the coming six months. Have some compassion for me, your well-meaning servant. I have served for a hundred years for the Lu's."

Words finished, Xue Lang already stood before them, "Three hundred thousand premium quality spirit stones are enough for a beautiful Indian summer."

There was a radical change in the face of Windy who now stood before Lu Ying, protruding a long sword and giving out a gentle sound.

"Well, well, well. You've grown up now, for you are bold enough to point your sword to me. Wait, what spirit weapon you got in your hand?"

Xue Lang's eyes brightened, "I'm gonna be so rich. The weapon should be worthy of hundreds of premium quality spirit stones at least."

"Xue Lang, think twice before you act."

Lu Yun patted on the shoulder of Windy and stood between her and Xue Lang, "You're dead for sure even if the Heavenly God of Langya comes."

Back in the tomb, Windy was almost frightened to death. Still, she gritted her teeth to protect the safety of Lu Yin. Even after her spirits were broken, she forced herself to wake up for him. She didn't rest until she made sure that Lu Yun was truly safe.

Lu Yun had recognized Windy as the follower and friend of him.

That Xue Lang wanted to sell Windy was a justified cause to die in the eyes of Lu Yun.

"You little bastard. You still think you are the Magistrate of Xuanzhou that waved your hands and hundreds of people would claim the life of a golden-pill guy? You are nothing but an outcast."

Xue Lang was putting on wry smiles, "I've made up my mind to go separate ways from yours. And I'm no longer your servant. It could never be insubordination. Son of bitch, die you."

There was ferocity in his face who reached out his palm and came straight towards Lu Yun.

"Move along."

Lu Yun pulled Windy back who was going to confront Xue. And then he pushed flat with his two hands, to summon nine black dragons around him.

Boom.

The calloused palms of Xue Lang patted hard on Lu Yun.

With a shake of the nine black dragons, Xue's body drifted away in the air like a dry leave.

"Why is that?"

Xue Lang glared at him, with disbelief and bewilderment.

What a miracle.

Lu Yun, with obstructed veins and inability to cultivate should create a miracle by exercising the move of an immortal.

The power was never inferior to the golden-pill guy. Out of expectation, Xue Lang was sent to the air by the nine dragons.

While Lu Yun was standing where he was, motionless.

Around him there was a shadow hanging over him, just like a coffin, guarding his body.

"You bastard. You became an immortality pursuer without being noticed and you mastered one magic skill."

Xue Lang struggled to his feet, with uncertainty in his face.

"Well, I'll wait till Mr. Liu finished the woman."

Think of this, Xue Lang turned around and fled.

There was then a dark yellow light of sword on the foot of him that elevated Xue Lang who was now heading toward the outside of city.

"Nice try."

Lu Yun yelled.

His hands performed a strange Ninja Mudra. And there seemed to be a small golden dragon that flapped between his two hands.

Bang.

Suddenly, the entire Magistrate's Mansion experienced a tremendous shake.

Nine golden dragons rose high into the sky from the ground of the Magistrate's Mansion, hovering above the entire Xuanzhou.

" Nine-Dragon Guardianship. Who activates the Nine-Dragon Guardianship of Xuanzhou."

The crowd of immortality pursuers who just saw off Xuanwu Army like a group of nasty men had yet to rest their minds and souls. They saw the nine golden dragons soaring in the sky and was frightened to death almost instantly.

"Lu Yun, it must be Lu Yun. What does this guy defying human and divine laws intend to do?"

The family of the Ge's were cold from head to heart.

The Nine-Dragon Guardianship was not only to safeguard the Magistrate's Mansion, but also the entire Xuanzhou. The area of effect under the magnificent tactical deployment covered fifty thousand kilometers.

In another word, it was an easy job for the manipulator of the tactical deployment to destroy the Ge's.

"The bastard. We did not pay proper attentions to him. He had grown to be resolute as such."

Feng Li, who just returned to his residence, saw the nine dragons above the city and murmured, "The appearance of two major pillars of Xuanzhou would be a deterrence to someone."

There were two pillars of Xuanzhou on the north of Langya, Xuanwu Army stationed in the northern border and the Nine-Dragon Guardianship tactical deployment inside Xuanzhou.

No one could anticipate that two pillars would show up in one night.

... ...

"Nine-Dragon Guardianship. You bastard. Are you killing up."

Xue Lang sounded a mournful cry. A dragon turned around, only to transform his body into a pool of blood.

"Ying, move along."

There were some blood coming out from seven openings of Lu Yun.

He was under a such pressure to manipulate the Nine-Dragon Guardianship tactical deployment that he would have been a dried body the moment he activated it but for the Heavenly Book of Life and Death.

"Meet your death."

Lu Yun thundered.

His hands dropped downward with great force.

Boom.

The nine dragons flied downward, right into the gigantic willow.
