fairy cage.

Chapter 709: The evil is just beginning to become a bad name
When the immortal surnamed Zhu saw that Yu Lie's movements were so strange, his pupils suddenly shrank and his body was immediately covered by heavy magic. The long whip magic weapon in his hand also made a series of roars and turned into a dragon that circled around him.

But when he thought that Yu Lie was the most dangerous, the two flying swords blocking him had already attacked him from behind.

With a crackling sound, an expression of disbelief appeared on the face of the immortal named Zhu.

He lowered his head, watching the layers of spiritual light on his body disintegrate like paper, and the fairy dragon whip in his hand, which he had spent a lot of money to smelt, also broke into several pieces.

"What a fast sword light!"

The immortal surnamed Zhu only had time to have such a thought before his vision turned upside down and the head had already fallen from his neck.

This man died with his eyes wide open, looking at the crowd in front of him in disbelief. His soul flashed and he was about to flee.

However, as soon as this person's soul left his body, he sensed another great terror appearing.

Yu Lie still had a smile on his face, and a burst of deadly flames had already risen from his hands. The strange heat had already covered an area of ​​several thousand feet.

The soul of the immortal named Zhu fell into the burning of the death flame.

"Ah! No!"

A pain originating from the soul level appeared in the spirit of the immortal named Zhu. He felt that his soul was melting and he couldn't help but scream.

This scene was exactly Yu Lie displaying his innate magical power. His magical power contained the power of the bronze wine cup, and when combined with the death flame, it was most capable of restraining ghosts and spirits.

The immortal Zhu's soul howled miserably: "Who sent you here? Who is it?"

But Yu Lie did not answer him. Instead, he made another hand gesture and the entrance to his purple palace opened in the void. A giant claw formed by Dan Qi stretched out and pulled the soul of the immortal named Zhu in.

The moment he saw the entrance to the Purple Mansion, Zhu's soul was shaken, and he immediately thought of many things:

"Evil cultivator! You are a mountain and sea evil cultivator, absolutely. Only you would carry the fairy garden with you..."

But his words did not cause any ripples in the surroundings, because while he was speaking, his soul had already been swallowed by Yu Lie's purple palace.

And immediately afterwards, a powerful magical power descended from the sky and pressed down on the soul of the immortal named Zhu, making him speechless.

With this, this beast was completely defeated at the hands of Yu Lie.

In the void, Yu Lie looked at the headless corpse in front of him. He waved his sleeves and put the corpse of this beast into the Purple Palace. Then he played with the long whip that was cut off by the Sword of Killing Immortals, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.

"I cut it off without even noticing. I guess I was too nervous."

Yu Lie murmured.

Although he had made many assumptions in advance, and he thought he had many cards up his sleeve, he was not afraid of a mere market fairy.

But when he really went into battle, Yu Lie was still very nervous, so he decided to fight quickly and decisively, trying to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that the result is very good, but he used too much force and even cut off the fairy treasure in the opponent's hand. At the same time, the consumption of the Sword of Immortal Killing is also not small, and the loss of spiritual energy is huge.

"However." Yu Lie pondered, and a smile appeared on his lips again:

"It turns out that immortals are just like this."

Several hearty laughs rang out in the void.

Yu Lie fled from the Mountain and Sea Realm to this ancient immortal cultivation area. In fact, his spirit has been tense all the time, especially the oppressive feeling brought to him by the Great Celestial Lord and the group of immortals that day. It was like a shadow following him, and sometimes he couldn't sleep well.

Now in this ancient immortal cultivation area, he tried his hand at it and easily killed an immortal who was once unattainable in his eyes.

This made Yu Lie feel that most of the fear in his heart was gone, as if some shackles had been broken.

The smile on his face even became slightly hideous: "Sure enough, any existence that is killed will die."

Suddenly, Yu Lie snorted coldly, glanced around, quickly put away the broken whip, and then directly used the Immortal-Slaying Sword, consuming his spiritual energy, and dragged himself into the dark void.

Although he dealt with the immortal named Zhu very quickly, it only took two rounds to finish the job.

However, the fight between the two just now still aroused the attention of the Lingbao Immortal Sect.

However, the other party did not directly send out his men to surround and kill them, but just watched and observed the fight between the two from a distance.

Because Yu Lie left in time, he only left a shadow in the eyes of Lingbao Immortal Sect.

Nearly an hour later, a disciple from the Immortal Sect came for inspection.

"There are signs of the void being broken. It is indeed a battle of immortal level."

A group of disciples from the Lingbao Immortal Sect took out various magical instruments, checked them and stood on guard, whispering:
"There is no trace of immortal sect's Taoism. Eighty to ninety percent of the time, he is just a wandering immortal in the market."

"Humph! These guys have extra energy to fight, why don't they hurry up and work hard for the Immortal Sect? They have to waste their lives in vain."

After a cursory inspection, the group of disciples from the Lingbao Immortal Sect returned to the camp, only recording the time and place in the void where an immortal-level fight had indeed taken place for their superiors to check, and then let the matter go.

At this time, Yu Lie was hiding in the dark void.

He sat cross-legged on a desolate meteorite, watching the actions of the disciples of the Immortal Sect quietly.

After getting rid of the immortal named Zhu, he did not return to the market immediately, but bravely and patiently observed the scene from a distance of hundreds of miles.

Yu Lie saw that the disciples of Lingbao Xianzong did not stay long before leaving, and in the following day and night, no other group of people went to the scene of the fight to check it out.

He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:
"It's just as they say. Outside the market, life and death are your own business. Unless you have someone to back you up, no one will help you, and your death will be in vain."

Yu Lie muttered in his heart: "This is completely different from the Mountain and Sea Realm. After killing someone, there is no need to find an excuse. It seems that this group of ancient cultivators are still following the ways of the ancient times... But this is very convenient for me."

For a moment, his eyes even flickered, wondering whether he should catch a few more tickets nearby like he did today!
Just very quickly.

After Yu Lie hid in the void for a few days, when he returned to Lingbao Market afterwards, he found that his business was basically in vain.

This day.

Yu Lie appeared in front of Xia Xian's tavern in a swagger.

When Xia Xianjia, who was working part-time as the shopkeeper behind the counter, saw him, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his expression was extremely interesting.

Yu Lie couldn't help but touch his cheek and look at the other person inquiringly, but there was something painted on his face.

The ghostly expression on Xia Xianjia's face lasted for a few breaths, and then he immediately put on a smiling expression again.

The man quickly came out from behind the counter, shouting enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist Zhe is back!"

For some reason, Yu Lie always felt that there was some different meaning in the other party's words.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xia Xianjia for a while, he got straight to the point and asked, "Master Xianjia, do you have anything to say to me in private?"

Xia Xianjia pulled his beard and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhe, you are joking. Please don't call me 'old man' as Xianzhang again."

He showed his mouthful of yellow teeth: "You can call me Old Xia, or just call me 'Xia Huangya' like the neighbors do."

The other party's attitude made Yu Lie feel nervous and he muttered, "Could something have happened?"

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where he had left any traces, so he was not in a hurry. Even if people from the Lingbao Immortal Sect came to question him, he still had plenty of room for maneuver.

As expected, Xia Xianjia, or Xia Huangya, whispered:
"The soul lamp of the guy surnamed Zhu has gone out. Everyone knows about it. Even his shop in the market was taken back two days ago."

These words made Yu Lie's eyelids twitch slightly. He smiled lightly and pretended to be ignorant.
"What do you mean by that, Senior Xia? What does it have to do with me whether the immortal Zhu is dead or not?"

Xia Huangya stared at Yu Lie for a long while with an expression that said, "I'm watching you act." Then he coughed lightly and said,

"Don't worry too much, Brother Zhe. It's not that Xia is trying to trick you with this matter.

You can ask around, this story about the surname Zhu has already spread all over the teahouses and taverns."

The man paused and said, "Of course, there are various theories. Some say he encountered robbers when he was out, some say he stole something from the Immortal Sect and ran away, and then was killed... But now that you have returned safely, I guess all the other theories will be dispelled."

Xia Huangya's words made Yu Lie look suspicious.

So after drinking a cup of tea, he said goodbye and went to other places to inquire about the news.

About three or four hours later, Yu Lie returned to Xia Huangya's tavern with a bitter face.

Xia Huangya was still standing behind the counter, as if he was waiting for Yu Lie to come back so that he could have a few words with him.

As soon as this person saw Yu Lie, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered:

"Why, Brother Zhe, do you believe Xia now?"

The helpless look on Yu Lie's face became even stronger. He sighed to the man, "How can people in the market defame someone's innocence like this?"

"Hahaha!" This made Xia Xianjia laugh:
"Indeed, even Xia's reputation has been ruined. I have become the victim of a murder for hire!"

As he said this, he was shaking his head. It was obvious that he was not worried at all about being involved in the matter of the immortal named Zhu. Instead, he showed a hint of secret joy.

It turned out that during the days that Yu Lie was hiding, the news of the death of the immortal surnamed Zhu spread, especially the process of him leaving the market alone was seen by someone.

It didn't take long for various causes of his death to spread among the people.

Even the Lingbao Immortal Sect specially checked the entry and exit of the market in recent days to determine the cause of death of the immortal surnamed Zhu. After all, the other party is an immortal.

In this way, the fact that Yu Lie left the market just as the immortal surnamed Zhu left the market right after him became known to everyone in the market, and the reason why Zhu failed to kill and robbed and was killed instead became clear.

When Yu Lie had just asked around in various teahouses and taverns, he had learned that the name "Zhemo" had already become somewhat of a notoriety.

However, he had been wandering around for so long, and the Lingbao Immortal Sect still had no intention of questioning him, which made his last bit of worry disappear.

Therefore, when Yu Lie walked back to the tavern, he did not feel worried at all, but rather quite happy.

The bitter look on his face was just for Xia Huangya to see.

Because the most complete version circulating among the people is that Xia Huangya found Yu Lie, a strange immortal who was extremely skilled in the art of concealment, from somewhere.

The two of them first returned to the market together as master and servant, and then had Yu Lie show off his wealth in front of the immortal named Zhu, attracting the other party to intervene and covet, and finally inducing the immortal named Zhu to leave the market, thus getting rid of him.

When Yu Lie first heard these words, he was also surprised.

Because this explanation has a beginning and an end, with complete cause and effect, and the man surnamed Xia and the man surnamed Zhu already had a grudge against each other, so their actions this time are extremely reasonable.

If Yu Lie had not been the person involved, he might have believed it.

In a wine shop.

Yu Lie looked at the joy on Xia Huangya's face.

He thought about it for a while, and then stopped playing tricks on him. Instead, he bowed to him and said, "No matter what, I have implicated Fellow Daoist Xia this time, which is indeed a sin."

Xia Huangya saw that Yu Lie had admitted it through his actions, even though he didn't say anything. His expression remained unchanged, and his smile became even more intense. He said:
"It doesn't matter. I have wanted to kill that Zhu for a long time. But I just can't spare the money and can't bear to part with it. This time, Daoist Zhe has done it for me. I have to thank you first."

Yu Lie nodded and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​moving out of the other party’s tavern.

The two continued to exchange pleasantries for a while, and when Yu Lie was about to leave, Xia Huangya suddenly sent a message:

"By the way, if you have time, you should go and get your immortal status as soon as possible. You have already paid the tax, so you don't need to pay it again. And with the immortal status, you will be able to get around a lot more conveniently in the market.

Also, if you have heard anything from Mr. Zhu, you can come and discuss it with me. We are destined to be together, not enemies, so we can talk about everything in detail. "

Yu Lie was surprised by the other party's words. He quickly thought: "It seems that this person and Mr. Zhu have a grudge for a reason... I have to interrogate Mr. Zhu thoroughly."

His expression remained normal, and he nodded towards Xia Huangya: "Thank you, Daoist Xia, for reminding me."

Then he returned to his room in the tavern.

The next month or so.

The matter of the immortal Zhu's death gradually calmed down in the streets, and during this period, no one from the Lingbao Immortal Sect came to find Yu Lie.

During the past month, Yu Lie had used various channels to sell all the property of the immortal Zhu, leaving only the other party's soul and the severed long whip magic weapon.

He sold many of these things directly through Xia Huangya's shop, and the other party also sold them openly without concealing anything.

In this way, this action confirmed the rumor that the two were in collusion and lured Zhu Xian to his death.

This day.

Yu Lie's consciousness turned into a human form. He sat cross-legged in the Purple Palace, watching the long whip of the immortal Zhu slowly dissolving in the bronze wine glass, with wisps of immortal energy rising from it, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

After the long whip was thoroughly refined, Yu Lie took out all the immortal energy in his hand and counted them one by one:

"One tael, two taels, three taels... thirty-six, thirty-seven taels!"

Yu Lie's eyes were filled with joy.

These thirty-seven ounces of immortal energy are already a considerable amount.

If he used all of it to refine Qi, it would allow him to increase his cultivation by 370 years. Adding to what he already had, he only needed 20 to 30 years to accumulate 900 years of cultivation and try to transform into an immortal.

Of course, if Yu Lie wants to try to transform into an immortal, he must first complete the last two transformations of Dancheng and lay a solid foundation.

After calming down a bit, Yu Lie's eyes were still full of joy, and he sighed: "It is indeed the gold belt for killing and arson. Thanks to this windfall... the transformation of eternal beauty can be arranged!"

However, Yu Lie did not leave Zifu immediately to purchase medicinal materials for transformation.

His incarnation flashed and appeared in a water prison. He looked calmly at the extremely weak immortal soul in the prison...
