Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 76 - 66 True Lord Beihe

Chapter 76: Chapter 66 True Lord Beihe

Liu Suiyun didn’t expect that the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill still couldn’t shake Xu Zhaori’s determination. “What big thing?”

“Help me play the role of a gold-digging captain for a while!” Xu Zhaori also directly stated his purpose. “It will only delay your schedule for three to five days. And I don’t want anything except a Taoist scripture!”

Taoist scripture?

Liu Suiyun immediately became curious. What kind of Taoist scripture would make Xu Zhaori have such determination? But he quickly made a decision. “Okay! Leave everything to me!”

“Good! Then you can catch up with Jingjue and them. Tomorrow we will lead the team out to do this big thing and try to finish it within three to five days. Huijun, let’s go!”

After saying that, Xu Zhaori waved his large sleeve and left quickly with Guo Huijun on horseback.

After Xu Zhaori had walked only a hundred steps, Liu Suiyun was surrounded by his old comrades and subordinates.

“Old commander!”

“Commander!”

“Boss Xing!”

“Ruyü!”

Everyone’s enthusiasm was beyond Liu Suiyun’s expectation. Liu Suiyun called out everyone’s name and shook hands with them one by one. At the same time, he also ordered, “Lao Xia, do me a favor and exchange these three carts of tea bricks for good wine for me. Let’s have some fun!”

“Have some fun!”

As soon as the wine entered their mouths, the emotions of the old comrades present became intense. Some people howled and sang off-key grassland folk songs. Some people cried loudly. Some people also closely followed Liu Suiyun, fearing that if they were not careful, Liu Suiyun would get lost.

Liu Suiyun also drank several sips of inferior wine. He had never been so happy.

There were actually more than a hundred old comrades and subordinates present, including his old acquaintances, some old friends he was not very familiar with, some people who had had many conflicts with him in the past, and some people who had no friendship with Liu Suiyun but were Xu Zhaori’s subordinates. But now these people were all sitting beside him, drinking and singing, and were willing to entrust their lives and futures to him.

He had never thought that he would have such astonishing charisma. You should know that until now, he had not talked about the specific plan yet. But his old comrades had not asked about the details and directly defected in front of Xu Zhaori. “Good! Brothers, you have given me enough face. I will not treat you unfairly either!”

“Lao Xing!” The one who spoke was Xia Jingjue. He drank a large bowl of strong liquor heartily and then turned the bowl upside down. Not a single drop of wine dripped down. Then he shouted at Liu Suiyun, “This time you have come at just the right time. I have endured this ghostly place of Tianma Plain for nearly three years. Finally, it’s time for me to get ahead. It’s best that you have come. Whether you go to Tianji or Yunzhong, no matter where you take us, these more than a hundred men will follow you!”

“Well said. Let’s follow Commander Xing and keep going!”

“Commander Xing, this time you can’t abandon your brothers and go home alone!”

“No matter what difficulties we face, I only have one sentence. Follow Commander Xing and keep going!”

With the support of his brothers, Liu Suiyun was also in an extremely good mood. He immediately filled a large bowl of strong liquor and drank it all up. “Brothers are good to me, and I am also good to brothers! Let me tell you brothers the truth. This time when I return to Tianji, I am seventy to eighty percent sure!”

He immediately played his trump card. “This time when I met old thief Pang Tianshan in Luoxing Mountain, I, Star Ruyü, was lucky enough to succeed and killed old thief Pang with a single sword. As for old thief Pang’s subordinates, I also killed hundreds of them one after another.”

“Good!” Xia Jingjue was also resolute. He filled a large bowl of strong liquor again. “Did everyone hear clearly? Commander Xing has killed old thief Pang. If General Yan is watching from heaven, he will definitely be very pleased!”

This news made the atmosphere at the scene even more enthusiastic. Although Liu Suiyun just said it casually, everyone knew that Liu Suiyun was a man of his word. If he said he had killed Pang Tianshan, then Pang Tianshan must have already died at his hands.

This is Liu Suiyun. Although he is not as capable as Yan Ruojiang in turning the tide or as astonishing as Xu Zhaori in his Taoist arts, he is still the Little Commander Star that everyone trusts the most and is worthy of everyone entrusting their backs to.

Many people couldn’t help but wipe their eyes. They recalled the good times in Tianji County again. Just at this moment, someone shouted, “Oh, oh, Little Commander Star, I’m sorry to interrupt. I must inform you about tomorrow’s matter. Can we find a convenient place to talk?”

Guo Huijun came back. Liu Suiyun was clearly a little drunk, but now his drunkenness had completely disappeared. He put down his wine bowl and said with a smile, “Okay! Everyone must testify for me. I will be polite and proper to Miss Guo and will never do anything improper!”

Saying that, he had already obediently kept a distance of at least five feet from Guo Huijun. And Xia Jingjue had already picked up his long spear and a sheepskin bag of inferior wine and followed. “I’ll go and watch!”

A group of old brothers continued to sing and drink and chat cheerfully. And Guo Huijun and Liu Suiyun had already walked out of the temporary barracks made of tents in the night. Guo Huijun glanced at these soldiers

The one who spoke was a white-haired cultivator. Although he was wearing a cyan Taoist robe and holding a jade horsetail whisk, his complexion was yellowish, his eyes were dim, he had wrinkled skin and white hair, and he walked with difficulty. Obviously, his lifespan was nearly at its end. However, such an old cultivator was also the most difficult enemy to deal with. No one knew how many trump cards they had accumulated over the long years of cultivating immortality.

“Who are you, sir?”

The old Taoist immediately introduced himself: “I am An Zhiyu! I am a disciple of Tianhong Sect in the Great Jin Kingdom and was once a candidate for a reserve disciple at the Golden Core stage!”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned his most glorious experience. Although he didn’t finally become a reserve disciple at the Golden Core stage, at least he had such a glorious history.

And Liu Suiyun also understood the psychology of this kind of old man: “So you are a fellow Taoist from Tianhong Sect. I am Star Ruyü!”

“Before I came to Tianma Plain, I had already heard of the commander’s great name. When I arrived at Tianma Plain, the commander’s great name was even more resounding!” An Zhiyu spoke with an old man’s tone, but at least he was fluent and clear: “This time, I will join forces with Little Commander Star. I hope we can cooperate sincerely then.”

Liu Suiyun still glanced at An Zhiyu, who seemed somewhat decrepit on the surface: “Who is Lord Beihe Zhenjun?”

“Lord Beihe Zhenjun was a genius cultivator of the Supreme Demon Sect hundreds of years ago. If he hadn’t taken a wrong step, he would have had great expectations of achieving the Nascent Soul stage. What we want to open now is the tomb of Lord Beihe Zhenjun!”

“Great accomplishment at the Golden Core stage? Quasi-Nascent Soul? False Nascent Soul?” Liu Suiyun shook his head: “Could it be that so many old brothers have unfortunately fallen.”

A powerful cultivator who was almost at the Nascent Soul stage. Just this alone was enough to make Liu Suiyun back out. It was too powerful. Too powerful. Liu Suiyun didn’t want to encounter such a super big trouble!

This An Zhiyu in front of him had a cultivation level similar to Xu Zhaori’s. And for them to jointly preside over opening the tomb of Lord Beihe Zhenjun, the only way was to continuously fill it with human lives. No wonder in the past two years, so many old subordinates have been lost in Tianma Plain.

He even felt that An Zhiyu and Xu Zhaori were simply courting death. The tomb of such a super cultivator naturally had countless methods. How could it be opened by a small cultivator like himself? Even if there were countless spiritual pills and divine weapons inside, Liu Suiyun didn’t want to get into this trouble.

But he had carelessly agreed to Xu Zhaori at the beginning. And Guo Huijun didn’t know the power of Lord Beihe Zhenjun: “Little Commander Star, please rest assured. In addition to Fellow Daoist An and my Zhaori, I will also join in this grand event!”

Her words were filled with pride and arrogance, but An Zhiyu interrupted Guo Huijun’s self-introduction: “I guess Commander Star still doesn’t know who this Lord Beihe Zhenjun really is?”

“Who is he exactly?”

For a demonic cultivator from several hundred years ago, Liu Suiyun didn’t have such interest.

“He is the most powerful candidate for the title of the seventeenth generation Long Aotian!”
