Chapter 661: Subdue the Jiao Wolf Wedding Banquet and Funeral Banquet
Jiaomujiao and Kuimulang were both shocked when they heard Yu Lie's words.
Among them, Jiaomu Jiao's face immediately twisted, and he roared fiercely: "Kui Mulang, how dare you bully me!"
Its eyes were red as it stared at Kuimulang, believing that the torture it had suffered over the past few days was caused by this guy taking revenge on him.
Kuimu Wolf was stunned for a long time. He looked at Jiaomu Jiao and Yu Lie with an unbelievable look, and said, "I, I am following your orders, Lie Zi."
This guy felt extremely aggrieved. He never expected that after Yu Lie appeared, he not only did not reward him, but instead immediately started to show concern for Jiao Mujiao.
Yu Lie took in the two guys' reactions and wanted to laugh, but he immediately showed a sad look on his face and replied:
"Brother Mu, I only asked you to detain Senior Brother Jiao Mujiao and interrogate him about Gao Yunzi. I never allowed you to treat Senior Brother so harshly!"
He said with great sorrow: "If this matter were to be spread out, others would think that I am a heartless person. Alas, this cannot be entirely blamed on you. It is only my fault that I was too busy in seclusion to explain it properly."
While Kuimulang was still in a daze, Yu Lie walked quickly forward, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and wisps of sword energy rushed out. He personally untied and cut the heavy iron chains wrapped around Jiaomujiao's body.
"Brother Jiaomu, I am sorry for being late and causing you trouble."
Roar!
All the shackles on Jiaomujiao's body were removed, and it immediately shook its body and let out a fierce roar.
When his true energy moved, the entire prison shook.
An astonishing murderous aura emanated from it, causing the astonished Kuimulang to suddenly feel cold. His expression changed as he hurriedly activated the protective spell.
But the next moment, the escaped Jiaomujiao did not vent his grievances in anger. Instead, he simply glanced at Kuimulang coldly, and then suddenly transformed into a human form.
The naked man immediately prostrated himself in front of Yu Lie and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times:
"I, the guilty minister Jiaomu, pay my respects to His Highness Liezi! Thank you very much for saving me this time."
After the salute, Jiaomu Jiao looked at Kuimu Lang with murderous intent and said in a low voice: "Liezi, please wait a moment. I will kill this guy who doesn't listen to you right away!"
Kuimulang shuddered immediately.
"Wait a minute!"
Two shouts were heard, one from Kuimulang and the other from Yu Lie.
Yu Lie, with a guilty look on his face, took a step forward, held Jiao Mujiao's arm, and said ashamedly:
"Brother Jiaomu, please calm down. Although Kuimulang did something inappropriate, he was working for me after all. If you kill him, I will be guilty of a greater crime."
A tremendous murderous intent was brewing in Jiaomujiao's chest and abdomen. He immediately wanted to roar, rush forward forcefully, and kill Kuimulang.
But as soon as Yu Lie finished speaking, wisps of grayish-white aura emerged from his body, which immediately woke up the furious Jiaomu Jiao.
"Dan Qi!" The beast was frightened into a cold sweat by the Dan Qi coming out of Yu Lie.
"Damn it, I almost forgot that Yu Lie's status is not only different from before, but his Taoism and magic power are also different from the past. He is now a Taoist master who has achieved alchemy, and he has also formed a first-grade golden elixir."
Jiaomu Jiao was frightened.
Compared to Yu Lie, it is just a young Taoist priest who has not yet formed a pill. Even if Yu Lie is not a first-class pill, if he only has a real pill, he can easily kill it.
As Jiaomujiao's expression changed, Kuimulang broke out in a cold sweat.
But this guy is not a weak character. He stared at the Jiaomu Jiao and secretly fanned the flames:
"Your Highness, this beast has refused to obey discipline as soon as he escaped. Please allow me to gather my colleagues and make another pair of shackles to tie him up."
Upon hearing this, Yu Lie sighed and said, "Why is it so?"
He said slowly: "My two brothers, you and I were all inspectors in the White Nest, and we have a great affinity. Now we are together in the Fairy Palace, so we should work together, not draw swords against each other.
"Big Brother, although Brother Mulang's actions were a bit excessive, you privately met with Gao Yunzi and are suspected of being a traitor, so we have to capture you and interrogate you."
When Jiaomujiao heard this, his eyes moved rapidly. Combining this with the experience of being tortured by Kuimulang in the past few days, he quickly understood that Kuimulang must have met Gao Yunzi with him that day and then turned around and reported the matter to Liezi!
There are basically only two possible outcomes for Jiaomu Jiao now.
One is to wait for Yu Lie to investigate everything clearly, or to kill it after being provoked by Kuimulang.
The second is that it surrenders now, wins Yu Lie's trust, abandons Dao Court and chooses to join the Huoluan Immortal Palace.
There is no need to think too much. In recent days, Jiaomujiao has long forgotten the so-called Dao Court. He even begged Kuimulang to allow him to meet Yu Lie. He could also be Lie Zi's dog!
Then Jiaomu Jiao bowed down once more, crying out in tears:
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, when I met Gao Yunzi that day, I actually wanted to get some information out of him. I, Jiao Mujiao, used to work very hard and conscientiously in the Dao Court Inspection Department, but in the end, I was exiled with just one sentence.
If the Immortal Palace had not treated me as a human being, I would have become a refugee and lived in fear all day long. My body and mind belonged to the Chaos Palace long ago, and no longer belonged to the Dao Court. That day, I was thinking of reporting to His Highness, but I didn't know how to meet His Highness, so I was delayed and framed by Kuimulang. "
When these words were spoken, others felt the same way and were heartbroken.
Yu Lie was in this state. He looked up to the sky and sighed, holding Jiao Mu Jiao, and said:
"I'm telling you, you're all my disciples of the Chaos Immortal Palace. How could you become the minions of the Dao Court? They don't treat you as human beings, but I treat you as human beings. They don't entrust you with important tasks, but I do!"
Yu Lie's behavior made Jiaomu Jiao very happy.
It didn't care whether Yu Lie was sincere or insincere this time, as long as it could allow it to escape, save its life, and no longer suffer from torture, that was enough.
However, the word "important task" mentioned by Yu Lie made Jiaomu Jiao secretly feel bad. Although it didn't want to be exiled by the Dao Court, it also didn't want to be driven back to the Mountain and Sea Realm by the Immortal Palace.
It just so happened that these past few days, Kuimulang had been constantly instigating it to lure Gao Yunzi, and even to rush to Taozhou and Daoting Daodu to gather some information, so as to make up for his crime with meritorious service.
However, Jiaomu Jiao knew his own strengths and weaknesses, and no matter how painful the torture was, he did not dare to accept such a suicidal mission.
For a moment, Jiaomujiao's face looked like it was half crying and half laughing, and it was quite conflicted, fearing that Yu Lie would issue an important task the next moment and ask it to return to the Taoist court to be a spy.
Kuimulang, who was standing aside, looked at this scene with a sneer in his eyes.
"Humph! Even if you managed to escape, do you really think Yu Lie would take you in as a dog? Even I am in big trouble."
Kuimulang secretly complained in his heart and glanced at Yu Lie with a complicated expression.
Now that it has come to its senses, how could it not know that it was tricked by Yu Lie and forced to take the blame.
Kuimulang, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, understood that after this incident, Yu Lie's subordinates would no longer be the only ones from the Taoist court. There would also be Jiaomujiao. Moreover, since the two had such a grudge, it would be impossible to repair their relationship in the future and they would be unable to unite together.
In this way, Yu Lie can control the two of them with confidence and let them supervise each other.
It was just as Kuimulang had thought. When Yu Lie came out today and saw Jiaomujiao looking so miserable, he thought about it for a moment and found that although he had a grudge against him, it had not reached the point where he had to take his life.
Compared to Kuimu Lang, Jiaomu Jiao once had the good karma of protecting Yu Lie, and was not suspected of the crime of forcing Yu Lie's family members to die.
This beast can better mend the relationship with Yu Lie.
So the moment he stepped into the prison, Yu Lie changed his way of dealing with Jiao Mu Jiao and planned to "treat this beast well" and let it work with Kui Mu Lang.
Yu Lie looked at the tangled look on Jiao Mujiao's face and the flicker in Kuimulang's eyes, and he knew what these two guys were thinking.
Fortunately, what Yu Lie is best at now is dealing with this kind of people.
He chuckled, suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Jiaomu Jiao's forehead.
With a whoosh, a ray of deadly flame penetrated into Jiaomujiao's mind at lightning speed and entangled with the other party's Taoist talisman.
This situation frightened Jiaomu Jiao instantly. It could clearly sense a strong sense of terror from the black and white flames:
"What kind of magic is this? It can actually bind my Dao Talisman without making a sound!"
Soon, Jiaomu Jiao heard Yu Lie's voice: "Brother Jiaomu, don't panic. This is my life-saving magic. It can bind the Taoist scripture in your brain and prevent the patrol officer from threatening you with it again.
And while it's burning, it can also release some spiritual energy to help you heal your wounds and replenish your energy."
These words made Jiaomujiao's face stiffen. Although it did sense a bit of pure spiritual energy seeping out from the strange flame, the feeling of horror was ultimately lingering, as if there was a knife sticking out of its head.
The fellow swallowed his saliva, and immediately wanted to say that he did not need such care, and that he could swear a vow of Taoism and never betray Yu Lie.
As a result, Yu Lie said again:
"Also, no matter if it's dragon energy or immortals, as long as they want to harm your soul, they have to fight with this flame of mine first. And as long as the true energy in your body is not exhausted, this flame will never go out."
Jiao Mujiao quickly swallowed all the words in his mouth.
It looked at Yu Lie's half-smile and half-smile, and understood that Yu Lie's action was nominally for its own good, but in reality he was playing tricks on its mind. Moreover, the tricks were so strange that not only the Taoist talismans could be affected, but also the dragon energy and immortals could not easily pull it out.
When Kuimu Wolf at the side saw this situation, a smile suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it felt gloating.
But the next moment, Yu Lie looked at it and snapped his fingers. A deadly flame pounced towards Kuimulang and penetrated into Kuimulang's brain.
"Chuckles!" Kuimu Wolf's throat moved and his face was dazed. He had never expected that even though he was so loyal, he would be tricked.
Yu Lie smiled and said, "What Brother Jiaomu reminded you just now makes sense. You two were both members of the Inspection Department. The Dao Scrolls in your bodies are Inspection Dao Scrolls, which makes it easy for you to be controlled by the Dao Court. Since I have helped Brother Jiaomu, I naturally cannot forget Brother Kuimu."
Kuimu Wolf's eyes were dull, and for a moment he wanted to point his finger at Yu Lie and curse him. But after the inner Qi in his body was stirred up several times, he lowered his head obediently, not daring to look Yu Lie in the eye.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness, for your blessing."
This was not over yet. Yu Lie suddenly took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and handed one pill to Jiaomujiao and Kuimulang respectively, saying that this was a panacea that could revive the dead and strengthen the body. They both had worked hard today, and they should take the medicine to nourish their bodies.
Faced with the sudden pill, Jiaomujiao and Kuimulang were naturally very resistant in their hearts, fearing that Yu Lie had put something in it again.
However, even their spiritual talismans had been planted by Yu Lie, and their lives and deaths had long been controlled by him. It didn't matter if they took another pill, so they closed their eyes and swallowed it down.
As a result, after swallowing the pill, both of them showed joy on their faces.
The injuries on the dragon's body were truly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The horns that had been pulled out of its head closed up on the spot, and new small bumps grew out.
"Good medicine! What kind of medicinal energy is this that can make my true energy have no rejection at all."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
What the two of them didn't know was that as the medicinal properties flowed through their bodies, their blood was also slightly infected. While becoming purer, it also took on a hint of Yu Lie's aura, and as time went on, the degree of infection would become more profound.
The Death Flame Restriction just now was just Yu Lie's means of controlling the life and death of the two people. The pill now is the "good thing" that truly contains Yu Lie's innate magical power and blood essence.
It can be given to others as medicine while slowly changing their bloodline, thereby eroding their foundation. One day, it may even take away all of their skills and return them to Yu Lie.
However, this effect is too strong. Yu Lie only knows the principle and has not formally tested it on Taoists. Now he takes these two guys as the first batch of test subjects.
After taking these two approaches, Jiaomujiao and Kuimulang felt like they had been hit by a big stick and eaten a candied date at the same time. They no longer dared to have any ulterior motives and chose to obediently follow Yu Lie's teachings.
After Yu Lie exchanged greetings with them for a while, he also completely understood the information from Jiao Mujiao's mouth.
What Gao Yunzi told this beast was indeed different from what Kuimulang knew. The steps of how the other party calculated Yu Lie became clearer and more feasible.
But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is a word that Jiaomu Jiao said unintentionally, which made Yu Lie feel alarmed and his face changed slightly.
"Gao Yunzi must be jealous of Your Highness. Although he didn't get the help of the Great Heavenly Venerable back then, the Great Heavenly Venerable still met him for the sake of Daojun."
Jiao Mujiao gloated, "I rarely hear him talk about this to outsiders. Maybe he was not taken seriously when he met the Heavenly Lord."
Yu Lie’s thoughts were stirring:
"Great Celestial Master! Gao Yunzi has also met the Great Celestial Master... Is this person really just jealous of me?"
He suddenly felt that his own elixir-making banquet was not a celebration banquet at all, but a funeral banquet full of hidden dangers.
