Chapter 444: Changes in the Hu Family
"Today is Hu's Golden Elixir Ceremony. The arrival of all fellow Taoists has made Jingyang Mountain Pengpi shine brightly. I invite you all to raise your glasses and have a drink."
Sitting on the main seat was a man wearing a black military robe and with black hair like a wave.
It was Hu Changru.
At this moment, he was high-spirited, with a hint of arrogance in his stern eyes.
"Drink together!"
All the monks present raised their glasses and congratulated Hu Changru on his achievement.
Hu Changru drank a glass of wine and looked at the many monks who were toasting him. His eyes were blurred, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly came to his heart, making him feel a little elated.
At this time, he caught a glimpse of a figure and frowned.
Because it was the Golden Elixir Ceremony, he could only temporarily suppress his emotions and put on a smile.
The Golden Elixir Ceremony lasted for a whole day. In the first half of the day, a group of monks congratulated Hu Changru with gifts. In the second half of the day, many Golden Elixir Masters gathered alone to discuss the Tao.
Starting from Hu Changru, many Golden Elixir Masters present came on stage one after another to talk about their own cultivation experiences.
Chu Chen also appeared on the stage and talked about his understanding of the escape method.
Upon seeing this, many Jindan True Lords present all twitched their mouths and looked at Chu Chen with strange expressions.
Chu Chen was calm and composed, ignoring the gazes of everyone and finishing his speech on his own.
"It is indeed Elder Wugui."
Hu Changru sneered, and a certain idea in his mind became stronger.
soon.
The Golden Elixir Ceremony ended, and all the Golden Elixir Masters took their leave.
Chu Chen was also about to leave, but was stopped by Hu Chong.
"Elder Zhou, uncle Clan invites you to go to the palace to discuss something important."
Hu Chong bowed and said.
"Let's go."
Chu Chen was slightly surprised, but did not refuse.
Immediately, Hu Chong led Chu Chen to a palace deep in the Hu family.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please sit down quickly."
Hu Changru had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Chu Chen coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him.
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."
Chu Chen cupped his hands and sat down.
The two exchanged pleasantries, chatted about some past events, and recalled the past years.
Chu Chen naturally knew that Hu Changru came to him for another purpose, but Hu Changru was not in a hurry, and he didn't need to be in a hurry.
"Decades ago, my Hu family was in a period of crisis. Fortunately, thanks to the protection of Taoist friends, we were able to survive the crisis and pass on safely to this day. Hu once again thanks Taoist friends for their great kindness."
Hu Changru said and bowed.
"Fellow Taoist, what you said is serious. Everyone is just taking what they need. The Hu family has asked Pindao about the whereabouts of Yunchan Linglu. Pindao has protected the Hu family for hundreds of years."
Chu Chen quickly stretched out his hand to help Hu Changru up.
"Yeah, it's a deal after all."
Hu Changru suddenly changed the topic: "But only if the things traded by both parties are equal, can it be considered a transaction."
"oh?"
Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and his eyes darkened slightly.
"Due to the information left by our ancestors, Taoist friends obtained the Yun Chan Spiritual Dew from the Poison Barrier Mountain Abyss and refined it into the Yun Chan Slaughter Mortal Pill. This enabled the quality of the Golden Pill to be upgraded to the sixth level. At this point, there is hope for the Nascent Soul."
Hu Changru seemed not to notice the change in Chu Chen's expression and continued:
"Although my Taoist friends have protected my Hu family, they have not provided much help to my Hu family. And the hundred-year period has not yet ended, so my Hu family no longer needs the protection of my Taoist friends."
"Don't you think, fellow Taoist, that this transaction is unfair?"
Hu Changru asked.
"Fellow Taoist, what does this mean?"
Chu Chen's eyes were deep and he looked coldly at Hu Changru.
"Hu thinks that Taoist friends should compensate my Hu family, whether it is elixirs, elixirs, or spiritual materials."
Hu Changru said in a deep voice.
"..."
Hearing this, Chu Chen fell into silence.
"What do fellow Taoists think?"
When Hu Changru saw this, he thought Chu Chen meant to give in and immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Pindao has a problem."
Chu Chen sighed lightly.
"Fellow Taoist, please speak."
Hu Changru smiled.
"Does Pindao look so easy to bully?"
Chu Chen asked sincerely.
Without waiting for Hu Changru's answer, he slowly stood up.
boom!
At the same time, a powerful coercion spread from Chu Chen, shaking the world and filling the entire palace, revealing his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Hu Changru felt his body sink, as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
but.
His expression remained unchanged and he said: "You can't say that. Yun Chan Spiritual Dew is extremely valuable, and I don't know how many golden elixir cultivators ask for it but can't get it. If fellow Daoist Zhou can get it, doesn't it mean that he has benefited from my Hu family?"
Not only Hu, but Taoist friend Mo Hai and three other fellow Taoists also think so. "
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared in the hall.
The three of them were covered in black robes, making it difficult to see their faces, but the demonic aura lingering around them made them obvious to be demon cultivators.
"You actually dare to collude with the demon cultivator. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Qingyun Tower and attracting the thunderous wrath of Qingyun Tower?"
Chu Chen's expression changed suddenly, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
"If you die, who will know that Hu is colluding with the demon cultivator?"
Hu Changru's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at Chu Chen as if he was looking at a dead person.
As he spoke, seven long flags appeared out of thin air, with countless ferocious monsters embroidered on them.
Wow~
The tail of the flag swayed, and the boundless evil energy fell down to cover the void, isolating the inside and outside of the hall.
At the same time, block all Chu Chen's escape routes.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Hu thought that according to your personality, you would obediently send spiritual stones, elixirs or spiritual materials, and you and I could live in peace. But you should never choose to resist, so Hu could only give you You're on your way."
Hu Changru sighed, seeming to feel sorry for Chu Chen.
If you look carefully, you can see the bloodthirsty light deep in his eyes.
‘Five peak foundation-building monks, plus one fake elixir-level monk, helped me successfully form the elixir.
If I can devour a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator, even if I share it equally with Mo Hai and three others, it will be enough for me to take a big step forward in the early Golden Core stage. ’
Hu Changru's thoughts turned, and the scarlet red in his eyes became more intense.
"Fellow Daoist's idea is good, but it's a pity that Friend Daoist Jiang and others will not agree."
The panic on Chu Chen's face subsided and he smiled faintly.
"Um?"
Hu Changru and others were suddenly startled and felt something bad.
Before they could react, the large formation surrounding them shook violently.
The next moment, a huge hole was torn open.
Six figures then stepped into the main hall and looked at Hu Changru and others coldly. They were Jiang Shili and other Qingyun Pagoda golden elixir monks who had already left.
"you……"
Hu Changru was horrified, and a chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
At this time, how could he not know that he had been tricked by Chu Chen!
"I am going to kill you!"
Hu Changru's eyes widened with anger and he attacked Chu Chen brazenly.
"Your opponent is not Pindao."
Chu Chen stepped forward and exited the hall, with no intention of taking action.
"Hu Changru, you colluded with the demon cultivators and intended to murder the elders in the tower. Your crime is punishable!"
Jiang Shili and other Qingyun Tower monks shouted angrily and immediately took action against Hu Changru and others.
Hu Changru could only abandon Chu Chen and fight with Jiang Shili and others.
Facing Jiang Shili and others who were well prepared and stronger than themselves, Hu Changru and others were no match at all. They were quickly defeated and easily suppressed.
Three demonic monks were beheaded on the spot, and Hu Changru was banned from cultivation and was about to be escorted back to the Law Enforcement Hall to await execution.
after all.
Hu Changru is a member of Qingyun Tower and still needs to go through a process to be convicted by the Law Enforcement Hall.
