Chapter 324 Attack again
When Huang Feihu walked into the meeting room, Shen Gongbao and the Taoist monk had been waiting for a long time. Shen Gongbao stood up and saluted, saying:
"Meet King Wucheng."
Huang Feihu nodded, returned the greeting, and asked Shen Gongbao to sit down.
Then, he turned his gaze to the Taoist monk, only to see that he was wearing a Taoist robe, had a gaunt face, and a deep light in his eyes.
Huang Feihu was secretly surprised, this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Who is this Taoist priest?" Huang Feihu asked, with a hint of curiosity and respect in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao introduced: "This is Taoist Master Lü Yue, a master of Jiejiao, who has come to help our army."
Huang Feihu was moved when he heard this. A master from Jiejiao? Isn't he from the same sect as the national master Luo Shu?
He didn't show any emotion on his face, but thousands of thoughts were running through his mind. He politely asked Taoist Master Lu Yue to sit down and signaled the waiter to serve fruits and drinks.
After the waiter left, Huang Feihu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and slowly said:
"Master Lu has arrived at the right time. Our army is in trouble."
Lu Yue's expression remained normal, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He said:
"Oh? Why did King Wucheng say that?"
Huang Feihu put down his wine glass, sighed, and said slowly:
"You two Taoist priests, you may not know that just now, a strange thing happened in Sishui Pass. The shells in our army's warehouse disappeared, and there was no trace left at the scene."
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Is this true? This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do. It must have been done by someone from the Chan Sect."
"They have been helping Ji Chang and are hostile to the Shang Dynasty. They will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack."
Taoist Master Lu Yue also nodded, with a hint of coldness in his eyes:
"The people of the Chan sect have always been cunning. This is what they did, so I am not surprised."
Huang Feihu heard this and said in a deep voice:
"The two Taoist priests are right. Previously, the artillery shells developed by the Imperial Master caused heavy losses to Ji Chang's army. Therefore, it is normal for them to act in this way."
"However, they are disciples of a saint after all, how could they be so shameless? If this matter were to get out, wouldn't people laugh at them?"
After hearing this, Taoist Master Lu Yue hesitated for a moment and said:
"Laugh at? You will certainly be laughed at. King Wucheng will just get used to it. After all, there are many people in the Chan Sect who are self-righteous. They have always been like this and have always been arrogant."
Shen Gongbao also echoed, "You are right, fellow Taoist. Since I joined the Chan Sect, I have not had a good day."
"Don't panic, fellow Daoist. You can no longer stay in the Xianjiao. The door of my Jiejiao is open to you." Lu Yue said.
Huang Feihu saw that the conversation between the two was gradually going off track, so he quickly interrupted and continued:
"I wonder what Taoist Lu is going to do next? The soldiers in Sishui Pass will definitely cooperate."
"I am good at setting up formations and am proficient in plague spells. As long as I set up the formation, the life and death of all creatures within a hundred miles, whether it is mountains, rivers, grass, trees, or all living things, will all depend on my thoughts."
Huang Feihu was shocked when he heard what Lu Yue said.
He knew that Lu Yue's cultivation must be unfathomable, but he didn't expect that the formation technique he mentioned would be so powerful. Huang Feihu widened his eyes and asked in disbelief:
"Do you really mean what the Taoist said? If so, then wouldn't it be easy for us to control the situation and even turn the tide?"
"I take what I say seriously." Lu Yue smiled slightly, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes. He continued:
"However, you must understand that although the plague array I have set up can harvest lives on a large scale, it is only effective against those whose cultivation is lower than mine."
He paused and continued:
"If a cultivator who is stronger than me appears, my plague array may not be able to exert its due power."
Huang Feihu frowned when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something. After he pondered for a moment, he asked again:
"Then, is Master Lu's cultivation level considered among the best among these cultivators?"
Lu Yue shook his head slightly, with a hint of humility in his tone:
"Top rank? Haha, although I think I have a decent level of cultivation, I dare not claim to be the top in this vast wilderness."
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and many strong people have emerged. I am just one of them."
Huang Feihu listened to Lu Yue's words and felt that although his words were humble, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
Therefore, he felt that Lu Yue's strength should not be underestimated.
"Master Lu is too modest. With your help, our Sishui Pass will surely be even more powerful."
Huang Feihu said sincerely, his tone full of respect and expectation for Lu Yue.
"I wonder when Taoist Master Lu is going to set up the formation? Do you need me to collect the materials needed for the formation?"
After hearing what Huang Feihu said, Lu Yue shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"I have prepared all the tools needed to set up the array. It will only take a certain amount of time for me to complete the arrangement of the plague array."
“At that time, with just a command from King Wucheng, I can activate the formation and easily kill the enemy soldiers.”
After hearing this, Huang Feihu felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He knew very well that Taoist Lv Yue's formation skills were extraordinary. Once successfully deployed, it would bring a devastating blow to Ji Chang's army.
"That's great!"
Huang Feihu couldn't help but admire, "No matter how brave and skilled Ji Chang's army is, they are still mortals after all."
Just as the three of them were chatting happily, a hurried voice came from outside the door. A hurried report suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the silence.
"Report! Jiang Ziya and his army have arrived outside Sishui Pass!"
This sudden news was like a gust of cold wind that instantly blew away the warmth in the house.
Huang Feihu's face suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly, with a trace of solemnity and anger in his eyes. He clenched his fists and shouted angrily:
"Humph! Shameless fellow, you stole the shells from the warehouse, and then you thought there was no threat inside Sishui Pass, so you came to attack the city. You are so despicable!"
At this time, Shen Gongbao saw this, stroked his beard, took a step forward, and said slowly:
"Hey, King Wucheng, don't be angry. Jiang Ziya is just trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune."
"However, since he is here, let's show him that with the help of fellow Taoists, Sishui Pass is not so easy to break through."
Huang Feihu took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He looked at Shen Gongbao and Lu Yue and said firmly:
"You two Taoist priests are right. I cannot let Jiang Ziya look down on me."
"I will immediately order the entire army to prepare for battle and make sure he never returns!"
Lu Yue smiled slightly and nodded:
"Okay. Then I will go with King Wucheng to take a look."
After saying that, the three of them walked out the door. After a while, Huang Feihu brought Shen Gongbao and Lu Yue to the tower of Sishui Pass.
