When Wei Shun returned to the Huoyun Sect, he did not go to see Elder Wang Wei. He went back to his courtyard alone, drew his sword, and slashed at the cloud mulberry tree at the door.
After cutting off a section of the tree trunk, he took it back to his house and never came out again!
After a while, green smoke drifted out of the house…
It turned out that after returning to the house, Wei Shun had used the tree trunk of the cloud mulberry tree to make a memorial tablet for Yang Fanchen. There were several memorial tablets on the table, which were his father, mother, grandfather, and so on.
Wei Shun also used the branches of the cloud mulberry tree to cut into wooden sticks that looked like incense sticks and inserted them into the furnace in front of the table to serve as green incense.
After Wei Shun finished doing all this, he respectfully knelt in front of the table and said softly," Father, Mother, Brother Yang, and the ancestors of the Wei Family, Wei Shun will definitely avenge you!”After he finished speaking, Wei Shun respectfully kowtowed three times before he stood up and walked towards the practice room.
He knew that what Wang Li said to him was not wrong! At present, it was difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone take revenge…
He could only endure it and turn his grief into motivation. He would work hard and wait for his cultivation to achieve success before he could take revenge.
Wei Shun's heart hardened. He couldn't waste even a moment now…
Cloudbillow City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Lian Yuntuo greets the City Lord!”Lian Yuntuo bowed.
"Brother Tuo is here! Hurry up and come sit…"
A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting at the table in the lead. He was dressed luxuriously and had a full beard!
Beside him were two scantily dressed, pretty concubines. The middle-aged man was hugging them from left to right. At this moment, the two women were serving him attentively. One of them was peeling fruits, while the other was refilling tea and personally feeding him desserts.
This person was the City Lord of Cloudbillow City, Lian Yunhong! Seeing Lian Yuntuo come over, Lian Yunhong waved his hand and dismissed the two concubines." Brother Tuo, you and I don't have to be so polite!" he said.
Although you are the Vice City Lord, there is no difference between the two of us. There is no need to be so polite! Come, come sit…"
Only then did Lian Yuntuo respond and sit down.
Lian Yunhong continued," I called Brother Tuo here for nothing else. I just wanted to ask about the Wei Clan's matter. How is it going?"”
Lian Yuntuo quickly stood up and cupped his hands. However, he was interrupted by Lian Yunhong." Brother Tuo, you don't have to do this when we are here. I've already said it just now. Sit down and talk…Sit down and talk…"
How could Lian Yuntuo dare to sit down? Lian Yuntuo knew Lian Yunhong's temperament very well!
This person was extremely lecherous, ruthless, and vicious! Lian Yunhong was suspicious of the Wei family!
Back then, in order to seize the treasure for himself, he deliberately hid it!
After the matter was exposed, he went with the flow and said that it was about the offering. Only then did Lian Yunhong let down his guard a little.
Now that this matter had not been settled, it was hard to guarantee that Lian Yunhong would not be suspicious again. This made Lian Yuntuo feel a sense of fear!
Lian Yuntuo knew that he was not a match for Lian Yunhong, so he gave in to Lian Yunhong in every way. He even pretended to be submissive in front of Lian Yunhong, but in his heart, he desperately wanted to replace him.
Lian Yuntuo did not sit down. Instead, he said with a sorrowful expression,"City Lord, Tuo, you did not do your job well!"
"Tuo's two sons seized and contributed to the Wei family's treasure in the Huoyun Sect. Tuo's second son lost an arm because of this…"
As he spoke, Lian Yuntuo used his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, but there were no tears.
When Lian Yunhong heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked,"Why? Brother Tuo, tell me in detail."
Only then did Lian Yuntuo slightly accept it, and he slightly recovered his senses and said, According to the letter from Tuo's son, Feng 'er,
"Wei Shun, the remaining member of the Wei family, and Little Thief Yang, who was on the run, escaped after being chased last time. They were saved by two laborers from the Huoyun Sect's Chores Hall and escaped.
Later, Wei Shun became the disciple of Huoyun Sect's outer sect elder, Wang Wei. He said that he was his nephew and was currently cultivating in Huoyun Sect under the protection of Elder Wang!
The thief surnamed Yang stayed in the Chores Hall. Tuo's second son Cang Yun found traces of the two of them and discussed with Feng 'er. Wei Shun was under Elder Wang's protection and couldn't make a move, so they first captured the thief Yang and lured Wei Shun to meet him. Then, they set up an ambush to capture him!
Who knew that although that little thief Yang was a mortal, he was quite strong. Yun 'er fought with him and one of his arms was cut off by that little thief Yang!
However, Little Thief Yang was also thrown down the cliff by my son and fell into the lava, leaving no corpse behind! This was the situation.
My poor Yun 'er is still recuperating. Feng' er, please take care of her!”
When Lian Yunhong heard this, he slightly nodded and said,"Brother Tuo, you've worked hard!" Yun 'er has worked hard and made great contributions. She should take care of her more!
I will definitely report this matter to the Prime Minister's Estate, and Yun 'er will definitely be heavily compensated! Of course, Feng 'er was the same!
However, the Prime Minister's residence is urging him urgently, so Brother Tuo needs to put in more effort.”
"Thank you, sir, for not blaming me! Tuo will do his best…"
"As for the Huoyun Sect!" Lian Yunhong's eyes darkened slightly. He tapped his hands on the table and said," That Wang Wei is just an outer sect elder. He's nothing to be afraid of!"
Don't you know a few inner sect elders? Let them intimidate Elder Wang Wei. Then, won't you be able to do something?
When necessary, what was the use of keeping a mere outer sect elder?
You know what I mean! Of course, he could not let the sect master of the Huoyun Sect know about this. After all, it would be inconvenient.
You also know that the Empire is currently at war with the Radiant Moon Empire. Although the war has lasted for so many years, it seems that the Emperor does not intend to give up.
As for the reason! It's not something that you and I can know.
Among them, it was probably something that implicated the cultivation world! When an empire started a war, it was the same for the cultivation world!
All these years, according to the news that the Prime Minister's Estate's steward had revealed, the Bright Moon Empire's late Emperor had returned to the court six years ago to rectify the court…The Bright Moon Empire was on the verge of revival!
However, there were limitations! The new and old emperors and the officials of the two dynasties were not so easy to deal with!
Although it was somewhat shocking, without a thunderous method, it was probably impossible to turn the situation around!
That's right! There's one more thing I need Brother Tuo to worry about!
A few days ago, the imperial court had issued an edict to collect taxes, money, and grain, including weapons, warhorses, and so on!
This matter needed to be handled quickly! Our Cloudbillow Continent is also considered a rich land, so we can't be a burden!”
After a moment of silence, Lian Yuntuo said,"Sir, can you tell me when to hand it over?"”
"I didn't mention that! According to my speculation, it should be half a year!”
" Half a year?"
Lian Yuntuo was puzzled,"Half a year…!" According to the usual practice in previous years, it had to be submitted once every quarter!
And this "half a year" was a little too long.”
So Lian Yuntuo asked again,"Isn't this time a little too long?"”
Lian Yunhong waved his hand slightly and smiled. But this year was different.
It was understood that the Bright Moon Empire's border defense had a new general. This general was an old subject of the Bright Moon Emperor. He was loyal to the former emperor and had declared that he would protect the Bright Moon Empire's border with his life.
Our empire's army has also suffered repeated setbacks because of this. At this moment, the court is thinking of a countermeasure, so I don't think it will be too fast!
Moreover, the Emperor had long had the intention to take down the Bright Moon Empire in one fell swoop. The amount of taxes collected this time was also much more than usual. From this, one could see his intention!
You can collect it as you see fit! Of course, the amount was twice as much as the imperial edict!”
" This…" Lian Yuntuo was slightly stunned.
Lian Yunhong continued,"This is your chance to perform!
A time of chaos is also a time of great opportunity. Whether you grasp it or not…Brother Tuo, it's up to you!”After saying that, Lian Yunhong smiled subtly.
" Thank you, City Lord!" Lian Yuntuo hurriedly bowed." Thank you, City Lord, for your advice…"
Ever since Wei Shun of the Fire Cloud Sect, he had been working harder and harder. The rooster crowed in the middle of the night, the moon was bright, and the stars were few. It was like this every day. It was rare to see him go out. No matter if it was windy or rainy, he could always be seen in his courtyard.
Sometimes, he would bare his shoulders and bare his back, flying around with his sword in hand…
Sometimes, he would sit still like an old monk…
Sometimes, it was like a dance, like the wind…
But he never smiled!
Elder Wang could be seen quite often this month. He would come to Wei Shun's courtyard from time to time to watch Wei Shun practice his sword and martial arts.
However, Wei Shun rarely interacted with him. He focused on practicing his swordsmanship as if he was very anxious. He didn't want to waste even a little time, as if he was possessed.
Of course, such high-intensity cultivation would definitely improve, and the improvement would not be small!
Whether it was sword moves, movement techniques, martial techniques, or spiritual qi realm, his improvement was extremely impressive!
Wei Shun had already cultivated the Fire Cloud Sword Technique and Fire Cloud Steps to the Small Success Realm in the month he had entered the Huoyun Sect. His aptitude was not inferior to that of a prodigy.
Wei Shun wasn't stupid, and his comprehension wasn't bad either. He had come from a business family and had been influenced by the family since he was young. His brain worked very quickly. Although he hadn't cultivated much in the past, he was able to relax and focus on cultivation. It was actually much faster!
During this period of time, his realm had also increased! Now, he was already at the ninth level of the Meridian Establishment Stage, and this level was not forcefully obtained through medicinal pills or spirit medicines, but through his own cultivation!
Although Pulse Unsealing and Pulse Establishment were not difficult for most people, it was even easier for the disciples of aristocratic families!
The descendants of the aristocratic families were all rich and powerful. They had countless treasures and top-grade pills, so it was easy for them to improve.
Of course, tall buildings started from the ground! Without a solid foundation, it was easy to fall in the later stages. Most of the descendants of the aristocratic families were like this!
In order to increase his realm quickly, how could he know how to settle down, stabilize, and consolidate his foundation? Although his realm increased quickly, it was mostly unstable.
Others could carry a bucket of water, but they could only carry half a bucket, or even half a bucket!
The current Wei Shun was also like this, but there was nothing he could do!
Wei Shun had been specially recruited. He couldn't become an outer disciple unless he reached the Elixir Prefecture Realm. Therefore, Elder Wang wanted to quickly raise Wei Shun to the Elixir Prefecture Realm and then think of a way to stabilize his foundation.
It wasn't impossible to stabilize one's foundation in the Dan Prefecture Realm. One just had to put in ten times, or even a hundred times more effort and endure ten times, or even a hundred times more tempering!
However, Elder Wang believed that Wei Shun could do it, so he did not think too much about it.
Seeing Wei Shun working hard for so long, Elder Wang was also exceptionally gratified!
