Chapter 446: Didn't expect it! [Two in One]

Teacher Liang Yue's small class on anti-traitors lasted for a long time, and Lu Renxian and Chunyu Fu both expressed that they benefited a lot.

As important leaders of Bashan, they all have rich experience and thoughts on rebellion, but Liang Yue can always give inspiration from a new perspective. Anyone who sees it will sigh that he is a truly talented player.

"I understand." After listening, Chun Yufu nodded and said, "I will refer to your ideas and reply to the court. However, there is one thing I still don't understand. Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give us so many suggestions?"

"As the saying goes, I admire the lofty mountains and the beautiful conduct. Although I cannot reach them, my heart aspires to them." Liang Yue said leisurely, "I admire you all very much, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to join you. If I have the chance, I would still like to seek some benefits for you brothers."

Lu Renxian said: "If the prince ascends the throne one day, then even if I, Bashan, really accept the offer of amnesty, it is not impossible."

"That day will come." Liang Yue also echoed.

The three of them talked harmoniously and sympathized with each other, just like good brothers who shared weal and woe.

However, Shi Niu outside the house was stunned and scratched his head, "Who was captured by whom? Why does it seem that the Third Master and the Military Advisor listen to him so much?"

No wonder the third in command didn't allow himself to talk to him, it turns out he is so magical.

After thinking about it, I realized that I was the only one who had never spoken to the prince and had never been bewitched by him.

"I'm still smart."

Shi Niu muttered to himself silently, then laughed triumphantly.

After the conversation, Lu Renxian and Chunyu Fu were about to leave again. Liang Yue sent them to the door. Just as they were reluctant to leave, an old couple suddenly walked over.

The Pen Immortal and the Butterfly Immortal came side by side and bowed to Lu Renxian from a distance, "Third Master, long time no see."

Lu Renxian also returned the greeting and said, "It has been a long time since I last met you, Immortal Master. I wonder what you have been busy with recently."

"I'm busy with something important." Pen Immortal Weng raised his hand, "Come with me and see what good things I have dug out from the secret realm!"

"I won't go. I still have to take care of the court affairs." Chun Yufu smiled, "The Third Master, go and enjoy it."

Having said that, he hurriedly wrote a reply to the court.

It was hard to refuse the kindness of the Pen Immortal, so Lu Renxian followed him. Liang Yue looked at their backs with a deep gaze.

Lu Renxian followed the old couple to the center of the sea of ​​flowers. He gradually slowed down his pace, looked around, and asked, "What do you want to take me to see, Immortal Master?"

The Pen Immortal smiled and said, "Of course it is the treasure that I brought out from the secret realm."

"Oh?" Lu Renxian's aura radiated, his eyes suddenly sharp, "Then why has the formation here changed? What you want me to see, can't it be a new formation you set up?"

"Haha." Pen Immortal Weng sneered, "Third Master is a sword cultivator, but his knowledge is so broad, which is really admirable. Yes, I brought out a new formation diagram, and I would like to ask Third Master to help me test its power."

While he was speaking, the Butterfly Fairy had already flown away, and reappeared in the depths of the distant sea of ​​flowers. With a wave of her hand, the flying flowers rose from the ground and turned into colorful clouds that covered the sky and the sun, surrounding them all.

Lu Renxian shouted, "Break!"

The long sword behind him came out of its sheath with a clang, and in an instant the sword energy was like a dragon, immediately cutting through the formation in front of him, revealing the figure of the Pen Immortal, facing the sword.

"Are you two planning to abandon Bashan?" Lu Renxian's voice was as clear as the sound of a sword, which made Bixianweng's eyes waver and he dared not look directly at him.

He clasped his hands together and activated all the formations, then covered it up again with a bang. The soft flying flowers instantly turned into a solid wall.

The Pen Fairy had been practicing since he was young. Knowing that he was not gifted enough, he continued to study the formation. The entire Butterfly Fairy Valley was his masterpiece. The formation was complicated, with thousands of layers and layers. Even those with a much higher cultivation level than him would suffer if they entered.

When the Butterfly Fairy cooperated with him, the couple was of one mind, and their power was doubled. The flying flowers in the entire valley gathered in one place, and from afar they vaguely formed the shape of a Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams!
Lu Renxian's sword energy was raging everywhere, breaking through everything he passed. But the formation was already formed, and in a blink of an eye, a new wall would come up to block it, layer by layer, making it difficult to break through for a while.

Seeing that Lu Renxian was trapped, Pen Immortal Weng laughed wildly and said, "The formation here is specially set up to restrain your sword energy. Even if your swordsmanship is strong, can you still cut through my thousands of barriers? I'm sorry, Third Master, I have to let you serve as my token of loyalty!"

After that, he shouted to the sky again: "The strong men summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take action now!"

Following the shout, a shadow flew over, fell from the sky, and landed with a loud bang.

Bang!
Lu Renxian had never expected to be betrayed. In shock and anger, his sword energy was so powerful that it broke through thirteen formations in a row and cleared the obstacles in front of him again. He saw the shadow in Taoist robes with long fluttering sleeves who had just arrived.

When Lu Renxian saw this person, his eyes suddenly fixed, "You?"

Seeing his astonishment, Pen Master sneered again, "Didn't expect that?"

……

Just yesterday, he had followed Liang Yue's instructions and delivered the letter for help to Chen Ju of the Chen family in Yunlu City. He had also carefully checked the contents of the letter and found absolutely no problems.

The prince asked Chen Ju to quickly notify his master to come and help encircle and suppress Lu Renxian.

Although we don't know who the prince's Qi-refining master is, he must be someone at the level of a first-rank priest in the imperial city. If we have a few such people, wouldn't it be easy to capture Lu Renxian?
He only needed to trap Lu Renxian temporarily and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

With such confidence, he turned and looked at the strong man who came to support him.

The man came in a green Taoist robe, with an immortal look, stroking his beard, and said with a smile: "I am not late, am I?"

"No, it's better for you to come, fellow Taoist." Pen Immortal Weng went to meet him and said, "But... the court only sent one person?"

"Not enough?" The other person had a smiling expression and looked very calm.

However, Pen Immortal Weng did not recognize this person, and he did not look like a strong person on the Tongtian Ranking, so he tentatively said: "This Lu Renxian has a strong cultivation base, so we need to be cautious when joining forces."

"There's no need for that. He is just a younger brother in front of me." The man said confidently.

Of course, Pen Immortal did not think that the other party dared to boast about such things. He just sighed in his heart that there were indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial city, and any powerful man who was not well-known dared to deal with Lu Renxian alone.

"My fellow Daoist has great magical powers, so please help me!" The Pen Immortal said excitedly.

"You have done a great deed by trapping him this time, so I will give you a treasure." The Taoist priest flipped his hand and said, "Once you have this treasure, it will be easy to suppress him."

"What?" The Pen Immortal looked up blankly, and saw that the Taoist seemed to be holding something in his hand and was about to hand it to him, so he reached out to take it.

But when the distance got closer, the Taoist turned over his hand, but there was nothing in it, just an empty palm.

Just as the Pen Fairy was about to ask a question, he saw the other party suddenly flip his hand, grab his wrist, and then grin at him: "I'm just teasing you."

“Sir, please don’t joke. What’s happening in front of me…” Pen Immortal was a little flustered. After all, he was a Qi Refiner and a formation master who was not good at fighting.

In the past, when facing the enemy head-on, he mainly relied on his old wife, who mainly played a supporting role.

At this moment, he was suddenly restrained by another strong man. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

"Who is kidding you?" The Taoist's energy suddenly poured into his Dantian, instantly suppressing his Qi channels. The surging Qi instantly broke down all of Pen Xianweng's defenses. Now he had no doubt that the cultivation of the person in front of him was so strong that he was definitely qualified to fight Lu Renxian alone.

But he was dealing with himself!

The old man's eyes were full of confusion.

After he was subdued, there was no one to take charge of the formation, and Diexianyu alone was no match for Lu Renxian.

Originally, the Pen Immortal was in control of the formation, and the Butterfly Immortal provided the flying flowers. The two had a tacit understanding for many years, and their cooperation was seamless, and they were able to temporarily trap Lu Renxian. Now that the formation had no eye, and the complicated changes were gone, Lu Renxian's sword energy flew into the air, and each one was like a punishment from heaven.

Boom boom boom boom——

The old woman was seen struggling to hold on for a long time, and the flying flowers in the sky were pierced by Lu Renxian's sword, and half of her body was chopped into pieces, leaving only the upper body falling to the ground.

Boom!

After the roar of the sword energy, the remaining half of the butterfly fairy's body fell to the ground, begging for mercy: "Third Master, don't kill me, I was bewitched by that old man!"

For a strong person of this realm, he would not die with only the lower half of his body left, but Lu Renxian, who was walking slowly towards him, could kill him. She had no other choice but to beg for mercy.

"You two have followed my eldest brother since the founding of Bashan, and you can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions. Even if you want to leave, no one will force you. Why do you have to..." Lu Renxian showed an expression of reluctance and looked at the two of them with great sorrow.

Halfway through his speech, he turned to look at the Taoist who had restrained the Pen Immortal, "And why did they bring you here?"

"Hehe." The Taoist laughed strangely, "Didn't expect that?"

The person who appeared before Lu Renxian was none other than Wang Rulin, the Immortal Shouyi of the Yunzhi Temple in Shendu!

He used his mighty Qi to destroy the Pen Immortal's meridians. The old man wailed and was thrown to the ground again.

The war here ended in an unexpected way before it even began.

The half-human Pen Immortal and the half-human Butterfly Immortal were both lying on the ground begging for mercy loudly, while Lu Renxian was looking at Wang Rulin with a complicated expression.

Wang Rulin put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "Yesterday I suddenly received a letter from my disciple asking me to come and help him deal with Bashan Lu Renxian. I knew something was wrong when I thought about it, and it turned out to be true when I came here. My disciple has always known that I am the most loyal person, so how could he attack my dearest junior brother?"

"..." Lu Renxian wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to speak directly as he had just been rescued.

The complex emotions of contempt for Wang Rulin's humanity and gratitude for being saved by him were entangled together and ultimately could only turn into a long sigh.

"Hey!" He turned around and looked at Pen Immortal, "Why are you doing this?"

"We were all bewitched by the prince!" Pen Fairy shouted, "It was he who promised us high positions and generous salaries and asked us to deal with the Third Master, and that's why I was bewitched for a moment! Third Master, please, please..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw Liang Yue slowly walking over from a distance. He came to Wang Rulin and called out respectfully, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you again."

He originally thought that there might be a problem in the middle, and the person who came was not the one the prince wanted to call, which led to the failure. He directly put the blame on the prince, and the two people might not be able to tell the difference.

But looking at this situation, something seems wrong.

Why does it seem like the prince is very familiar with this Taoist priest, and this Taoist priest is a fellow disciple of Lu Renxian, which means that the prince and Lu Renxian are in the same group?
He is the real hero of the mountain.

Instead, he was a running dog of the imperial court.

what?
In the shocked eyes of Pen Immortal, Liang Yue smiled slightly, "Didn't expect it?"

……

The whole thing started from the night before when Pen Immortal Weng found Liang Yue, and he took the initiative to surrender and showed his sincerity.

On the one hand, the Nine Secret Book was very tempting, and on the other hand, Liang Yue did not dare to disobey it, because he had told him about this matter, and if he did not agree, he would not let him go alive.

He could only write a letter asking for help, but he didn't want Lu Renxian to really die.

As a representative of the peace faction in Bashan, if Lu Renxian died, and died at the hands of the imperial court, although it would be a loss for Bashan, it would also further deteriorate the relationship between the two.

When the war in the north reignites, it will still be the ordinary people who suffer.

So he thought of a way, using the reason of worrying about the court's distrust, and asked Bixianweng to hand the letter to Chen Ju.

Chen Ju knew that it was Liang Yue who was kidnapped, not the real prince. Liang Yue asked him to find his master, so Chen Ju naturally knew who to notify.

So the person who received this news was Wang Rulin.

Old people are cunning and ghosts are crafty, let alone Wang Rulin who has been shrewd all his life.

He knew at a glance that something was wrong with Liang Yue. If he really wanted to deal with Lu Renxian, how could he ask his senior brother to help?

So Wang Rulin descended from the sky and found out who his enemy was.

“In fact, I’m not a prince at all, but a third-rank immortal official in the Evil-Slaying Department.” Liang Yue introduced himself at this time.

Wang Rulin also said: "Of course, I am not some lackey of the imperial court, but the best swordsman in the world."

"You..." Lu Renxian wanted to refute, but just as he was about to show his dissatisfaction, he met Wang Rulin's gaze and suddenly felt guilty.

"Why?" Wang Rulin said with a frown, "My dear fellow apprentice, you don't agree? It's only been a short while, and you've already forgotten who saved you from the dire situation?"

"No." Lu Renxian could only say sullenly, "Senior brother's sword skills are indeed... very strong."

After saying that, he didn't want to look at Wang Rulin anymore, but looked at Liang Yue, and said with emotion: "So many of us in the martial arts world were actually deceived by you."

"Uncle Master, please don't blame me. I didn't mention it before because I was worried that someone from Bashan Heroes would harm me." Liang Yue said with a smile, "But if they want to deal with Uncle Master, I will definitely not tolerate it."

"You really have a good character, but it's a pity..." Lu Renxian subconsciously wanted to say that it was a pity to have such a master. Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a scorching gaze from the side and quickly swallowed the rest of the sentence.

He was vaguely worried. Even though he was saved by his senior brother today, would he never be able to hold his head up in front of him for the rest of his life?

If it were an ordinary hero, he would naturally not ask for rewards and bring it up all the time.

Can……

Senior brother is Wang Rulin!

They were still talking when the Pen Immortal on the ground saw how the situation had changed. He was so angry that a mouthful of blood splashed up like a fountain, "Puff——"

"You are not the prince, how can you not be the prince?" He roared unwillingly, "You...you accepted all the gifts!"
