379. Give Me Back My Treasure!

These words were spoken.

Whether it was the South Pass Circuit side or the two great demons, Daoist Vermilion Pheasant and Flying Bear and Azure Smoke, their expressions varied. They glanced at Bai Ziyue and the other two, then at the Sword Qi portal that had just dissipated in the distance, but remained silent.

Judging from the movement of the Sword Qi gate, one can tell that the treasure inside is definitely extraordinary.

They never intended for Bai Ziyue and his companions to leave easily. Now, this young and impetuous Yuan Lake Water Lord couldn't help but take the initiative to make trouble, which everyone was more than happy to do.

Even Gan Zi'ang, the Inspector of the South Pass Circuit, remained silent despite his conflicted thoughts.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's imposing aura, Bai Ziyue and Zhu Xuanji felt stifled and their faces showed anger.

But if we're talking about temperament...

Gongyang Yu was the first to lose his temper. He raised his sword and pointed it directly at Lu Qingfeng. His eyes were bloodshot as he angrily cursed, "You son-in-law of the Min River, you've been hiding in Yuan Lake for a hundred years and dared not come out. Today you've recruited this Luofuzi brother Luofuzi, and you've become arrogant because of your master's power."

The words fell.

"You rude brat!"

Ao Le, standing to the side, was furious, his cheeks flushed red. He drew his sword and glared at Gongyang Yu.

"Your Majesty."

"This humble general requests to fight and slay this madman!"

Lan Feihu stepped forward, his massive fangs revealing a murderous Sha Qi. Yuan Bi remained expressionless, also stepping forward, his trident gleaming coldly.

However, the two still did not move.

A sword light appeared beside him, swaying and shaking the Nine Heavens, and slashed straight at Gongyang Yu.

"Luofuzi!"

The white-clad figure with the long sword was none other than Luofuzi, the number one swordsman of the South Pass Circuit, who had only been in the Yuan Lake Water Palace for less than half a year!

Without uttering a word, they struck first.

"I treated you with respect, but I never expected you to be such a loyal dog!"

"Today I will show you the power of the swordsmanship of my Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, so that you will know that there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond mountains!"

The Gongyang Yu in anger.

One hand forms a hand seal, the other holds a sword.

The flying sword swept through the air, heading straight for Luofuzi. Holding the sword in his hand, he stepped forward, intending to engage in close combat.

"Cultivating both body and mind is truly extraordinary."

The three-zhang-tall Flying Bear demon in the distance saw this and marveled at it.

Cultivating both the Nature Dao and the Fate Dao.

When Gongyang Yu was wielding his sword, he could also engage in close combat, even fighting two against one, which was truly extraordinary.

The great demon Azure Smoke remained silent, his youthful appearance and ruthless eyes fixed on the fight between Gongyang Yu and Luofuzi.

Luofuzi remained silent, his face cold. A long sword had appeared in his hand without his noticing; with a flick of his wrist, its light pierced the void.

Boom!

It collided with the flying sword in the sky, and neither could gain the upper hand.

He stepped forward, sword in one hand.

With each swing of the longsword, countless Swordlight Splitting, dazzling the eye. The sharp Sword Qi energy sent chills down one's spine. In the next instant, the sword light flashed and the Sword Qi surged, one Swordlight Splitting into ten, then a hundred, each bursting forth with Sword Qi.

In just a moment.

Once the sword formation was complete, it enveloped Gongyang Yu, who was charging straight at them.

Boom!

Luofuzi held his sword, its tip pointing upwards, and a booming sound, as if it could no longer bear the weight, echoed in the void. Gongyang Yu was completely enveloped within it, unable to see his figure at all, only able to hear bursts of angry roars coming from within.

"Not good!"

"Stop right now!"

Seeing the situation was dire, Bai Ziyue and Zhu Xuanji immediately roared in anger. One of them formed hand seals and launched five swords at once, crashing into the Luofuzi sword light array. The other, while constantly calculating, flicked his fingers and flicked out streaks of gray light that landed on various parts of the sword light array.

However.

Boom!

Luofuzi swung his longsword fiercely, blocking the gray light with a loud boom, knocking away five swords, and countless sword lights gathered together—

"Puff!"

One figure was revealed, flying backwards like a tattered kite, blood splattering in mid-air.

It was Gongyang Yu.

"Junior Brother Gongyang."

"Brother Gongyang!"

Bai Ziyue and Zhu Xuanji caught Gongyang Yu, only to see terrifying sword wounds all over his body, blood splattered three feet deep, revealing bone. His external injuries were secondary; his vital energy was quite depleted, and his face was deathly pale, clearly indicating he had suffered considerable damage and was unable to fight again for the time being.

If it weren't for Bai Ziyue and Zhu Xuanji's intervention, Gongyang Yu would have almost perished in that sword light array.

"What a terrifying sword formation!"

Even Gongyang Yu himself felt a wave of fear, his face showing both shock and anger as he glared at Luofuzi, but he could only silently adjust his breathing and dared not utter another word.

This time.

The crowd looked at Luofuzi, the white-robed swordsman standing in the air in front of Yuan Lake Water Lord, and their expressions changed immediately.

True Person Fubo, Gongyang Yu, is a highly respected figure in the entire Qi Kingdom. He has cultivated both his body and spirit to the Third Realm, and neither of them is inferior to the Third Layer. With such strength, even anyone present would not dare to claim a decisive advantage against him.

However, he nearly lost his life after only a few moments of fighting with Luofuzi.

This level of skill truly astonished everyone on the field.

Luofuzi held his sword, his face expressionless and his eyes indifferent, as if he were not the one who had just made the move and nearly killed Gongyang Yu.

"He spoke without thinking, and deserves this lesson."

Lu Qingfeng spoke in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Gongyang Yu and the other two.

Seeing that Gongyang Yu still had anger on his face after hearing this, he ignored him and pointed at the three of them, saying, "I govern a region of 100,000 li around Yuan Lake, and the Three Mountains Valleys are where I often go into seclusion. You three are from the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, yet you have committed such petty theft. It is truly shameful! Quickly return the stolen treasure, and I will not hold it against you for the sake of your sect's elders. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Luofuzi's true form is the 'Three Radiance Heavenly Xin Swords'. Although he cannot cultivate any Divine Ability Cultivation Method, Lu Qingfeng's array formation cultivation is absolutely unparalleled.

After thousands of years of contemplation, his understanding has reached the level of creation itself.

With the sharpness of an eighth-order Law Artifact and the profoundness of array formation mastery.

Even when facing three opponents alone, Luofuzi was able to suppress Gongyang Yu and his two companions.

Lu Qingfeng was confident, and further provoked by Gongyang Yu, so he didn't hold back his words at this moment.

Petty thieves!

Stubborn and unruly!

Gongyang Yu at his blunt words.

"Puff!"

He couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, his expression growing increasingly listless.

"What a silver-tongued, Black and White prince consort of the Min River!"

Bai Ziyue pointed at Lu Qingfeng, unable to hold back any longer, and said in a cold voice, "He's just relying on his connections. Let me ask you, do you dare to fight me fairly?!"

Luofuzi was formidable, and Bai Ziyue, though confident in his own strength, dared not provoke him.

However, although this Yuan Lake Water Lord is a genius and a fourth-rank Water Lord, his cultivation period is short, so his chances of winning are extremely high.

"Thief, beat him to death with sticks!"

Lu Qingfeng flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly.

This is a refusal.

But it was also within everyone's expectations.

Based on the actions and reputation of this Yuan Lake Water Lord over the past century—

Greedy for wealth and treasures, cowardly and shameless, yet content to be a son-in-law of the Dragon Palace...

How could he lose his temper and fight against the Five-Sword True Person Master just because of Bai Ziyue's few sarcastic remarks?

"Cowardly scoundrel!"

Bai Ziyue was disappointed, but he was still sharp-tongued, pointing at Lu Qingfeng and scolding him.

Clang!

No sooner had the words been spoken than a sharp sword rang out in the sky. The sword light rose again, this time heading straight for Bai Ziyue.

"Luofuzi!"

Needless to say, Bai Ziyue insulted the Yuan Lake Water Lord, Luofuzi attacked again without saying a word.

Bai Ziyue and Zhu Xuanji were greatly alarmed.

Gongyang Yu, who was recuperating from his injuries, was also startled and suddenly opened his eyes.

Immediately, a flash of sword light appeared, and the same method used to deal with Gongyang Yu was about to be applied to Bai Ziyue.

"Water Lord, please calm down."

"Brother Luofu, please hold your hand."

As the battle was about to begin, Gan Zi'ang, who was standing to the side, could no longer stand still. He swallowed the words "Defend" and "Stop" and they materialized in the air, intending to freeze the sword light. At the same time, he spoke very quickly.

But Luofuzi paid no attention.

Boom!

With a single sword strike, the words "shattered" were uttered, and the sword still headed towards Bai Ziyue.

Gan Zi'ang frowned slightly, a hint of anger on his face.

"Brother Dao, spare this boy for now and hear what Lord Gan has to say," Lu Qingfeng called out. Luofuzi immediately stopped his sword flashing and stood still. Only his eyes, sharp as swords, were fixed on Bai Ziyue, making one feel as if sitting on pins and needles.

"What a fine swordsman!"

Seeing Luofuzi's strength and his complete obedience to Lu Qingfeng, Gan Zi'ang and the others were filled with complex emotions. They also recalled the rumor that the Yuan Lake Water Lord had used nine Nine-Flower Mirror Stones to recruit this South Sea swordsman to serve him for a hundred years.

At first, I only thought it was wasteful, but now I have no other thoughts.

"Governor Gan is in charge of the South Pass Circuit. Although he has a close relationship with the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, I think he would not favor these three traitors."

Lu Qingfeng pointed at Bai Ziyue and the other two, and said loudly to Gan Zi'ang.

What a hothead!

As everyone listened, they finally realized that this Yuan Lake Water Lord and Prince Consort of the Min River was a complete naive and impulsive person.

Gan Zi'ang was a disciple of Zhuge Yan. Although Zhuge Yan had close ties with the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, he was the prime minister of the country, but he did not do so openly, and no one dared to do so openly.

Lu Qingfeng, however, pointed at Gan Zi'ang and stated that he had close ties with the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace.

Being completely out of step with the obscure ways of officialdom, what else could he be but a hothead?

"Suiki is joking."

"I am an official appointed by His Majesty himself, and I have always been impartial and unbiased."

Gan Zi'ang possessed Awe-Inspiring Righteous Qi.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Everyone knows the relationship between you, Lord Envoy, and the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace. Don't try to change the subject. You, a dignified lord, just helped those three thieves. If you have no insightful opinion, I will certainly impeach you severely!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Zi'ang felt a headache coming on and, unwilling to argue with Lu Qingfeng any longer, looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Catch the culprit and seize the stolen goods. Shui Jun keeps claiming that someone stole treasures from the Water Palace. Could you please provide details of the loss?"

"This--"

Lu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It concerns the defense of the Water Palace and cannot be Human Path."

"So, in that case, there's no evidence or proof?"

Gan Zi'ang's gaze turned serious.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng's expression immediately changed. "You, Gan Zi'ang, are indeed going to favor those three thieves from the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace! These three sneaked around in front of my Yuan Lake Gate and stole all sorts of my treasures. How can you possibly deny it with mere words in front of everyone?!"

But he immediately lost his temper.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's expression, Gan Zi'ang remained unmoved, appearing to others as if he had everything under control.

"This is greedy treasure, and he's furious."

When the onlookers saw Lu Qingfeng and Gan Zi'ang, it was like comparing a young boy to a wise old man; the difference between them was too great, and Lu Qingfeng couldn't even last a single round.

Further developments to follow.

"Enough with the small talk, give me back my treasure!"

Lu Qingfeng was furious and ignored Gan Zi'ang, instead shouting angrily at Bai Ziyue and the other two.

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that Gan Zi'ang had finally stepped forward, Bai Ziyue was not afraid of Luofuzi and rebuked Lu Qingfeng.

"Well!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng was so enraged that he nearly died. He opened his mouth and shouted at the white-robed Luofuzi in front of him, "I beg you, fellow Daoist, to capture these three!"

A new month begins, please vote for me next month! Thank you everyone!
