Chen Kuang naturally couldn't act with his true identity now, so he simply gave himself a name that was enough to scare people, and pretended to be an outsider, so that he could be deceived.
He finally got rid of the chase this time, faked his death and escaped. He had a chance to survive and live a stable life. He was so wretched and developed, but he could no longer expose his identity casually and live that kind of precarious life.
Since you are disguising and want to protect yourself as much as possible and prevent trouble from coming to your doorstep, there is naturally a difference between pretending to be strong and pretending to be weak.
If you want to avoid conflict, you either have to make others feel that you are not qualified to be targeted, or you have to make others feel that you are not qualified to oppose you.
Both naturally have risks, but relatively speaking, the former is less difficult.
However, he doesn't like to be wronged very much - the last person he was wronged had his spine broken by his own hands and died in a puddle of mud.
What's more, since the other party provoked him first and his attitude was so unfriendly, it was naturally safer to pretend to be strong and frighten the other party.
With Chen Kuang's current passivity and abilities, as long as he doesn't really do anything, he can disguise himself as the Moon Holding Realm without revealing any flaws. If he deceives him a little more, it is not impossible for the other party to mistake him for a grandmaster.
And if you really do it...
Even if the opponent is a grandmaster, just try to kill him.
As for why his name is "White Dragon True Lord", there is no particular reason.
Firstly, he had recently obtained the "Xielongzi Jingbian Diagram" and subconsciously thought of dragons, and secondly, it was because he liked the color white.
And if he calls himself this, most people will think that he is a monster in the form of a dragon.
In this world, real dragons are rare, and those who can be related to dragons are not weak at all, and are naturally intimidating.
However, when he successfully cultivates the "Xielongzi Jingbian Diagram" and raises a pseudo-dragon, the title may be confirmed.
When Wu Man heard this, his heart was shocked and his face turned pale again.
Those who dare to use dragon as their title, even if they are not real dragons, must be related to dragons.
She is a snake demon, and what she longs for the most in her heart is naturally the legend of transforming into a dragon. She naturally has a natural awe for dragons.
It's a pity that she understood a long time ago that legends are just legends. Snakes can never turn into dragons. They can only wait for opportunities to hunt in dark corners to fill their stomachs.
This True Lord White Dragon... could it be that he really is some kind of big shot? !
There are more than just two forces in this world, the Xuan Shen Taoist Sect and the Pure Land of the Pure Land. There are also powerful and powerful individual cultivators who live in seclusion. However, under normal circumstances, most of the individual cultivators like to be quiet and will not easily set foot in the world.
Did she actually meet him today?
"Thank you, senior, for sparing your life..."
Wu Man had just walked on the edge of life and death, but his consciousness was still a little blurred. He staggered to his feet in shock, and blood was flowing out of his seven orifices and dripping on the ground.
Being able to use magic and magical powers related to spiritual consciousness, this White Dragon True Lord must be of the third grade without a doubt.
If the sea of consciousness is not opened, the spiritual consciousness is weak and helpless, and if you practice the spiritual consciousness technique forcibly, you will definitely be killed by the backlash.
Divine consciousness, the spiritual consciousness of the soul, is one-half of a complete practitioner.
Before breaking through to the sea-opening realm, practitioners only cultivate their physical bodies and not their spiritual consciousness.
In other words, there is no way to practice at all.
Without cultivating the sea of consciousness with the physical body as a container and anchor, spiritual consciousness is like rootless duckweed, a candle in the wind, scattered when touched, and extinguished when blown.
And in this case, if one forcibly practices spiritual consciousness techniques to enhance his spiritual consciousness, then his spiritual consciousness will be like a balloon that no one can catch, constantly being lifted up by the continuous inflation.
Getting lighter and lighter, flying higher and higher.
In the end, the consciousness will be completely disconnected from the physical body along with the soul and escape into the underworld.
To put it another way, the spiritual consciousness at this time has become what mortals call a "ghost".
But in Cangyuan, there is no such thing as reincarnation for ordinary people, or even ordinary practitioners.
Escape into the bardo does not mean that a bull-headed horse-face will come to take you to the underworld, but... death.
The so-called bardo is a special dimension between life and death where only the soul can exist.
Once the soul leaves the body and enters the bardo, if it is not maintained by the physical body, it is equivalent to being blind, with everything above, below, left and right being completely dark. It will soon be lost in it, and eventually it will be consumed by the darkness and turn into nothingness.
The physical body has become a living dead and can never be revived.
In time, he will die.
On the other hand, if one has practiced the Divine Consciousness Technique, for those who have never practiced it, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack, and the latter will have no means of defense at all.
Therefore, the middle third level versus the lower third level is basically a crushing match.
And someone like Chen Kuang who doesn't play according to common sense and can even use spiritual means to counterattack the third level, there may not be one for thousands of years.
No one would speculate in such an outrageous direction.
Wu Man immediately made a judgment out of fear. The opponent's strength was at least the Moon Holding Realm!
But what level this White Dragon True Lord is, because the other party has never appeared in the dark, Wu Man has no way of determining.
Chen Kuang said: "You just said that you are the subordinate of the chief arrester Wang Yangbo? But I remember that he is a disciple of Shennong Division. He should be our enemy. How can you accept a demon as your subordinate?"
"We"...this True Lord White Dragon is also a demon!
Recalling that he had previously said that his friends from eight hundred years ago called him this, this senior White Dragon must have been away from the world for a very long time and has just recently come out into the world.
Wu Man's heart was moved, and he took a deep breath and said: "Senior has lived in seclusion for a long time, so he may not know much about it. Today's Shennong Division is no longer the jealous Shennong Division of the past. Maybe the real upper-level still abide by the rules." The rules of "herding demons and direct order", but more often than not, they are secretly cooperating with demons to obtain the benefits they need..."
There was a sarcastic smile on her lips: "As long as the demons are allowed to do things that break the rules, and they themselves come forward to act as the ones maintaining order, they can naturally continue to maintain the sanctimonious appearance and become a famous family that everyone admires. upright."
"Otherwise, in today's Yang Kingdom, are you really willing to be a demon and do evil every day and then be hunted down?"
So that's it... Chen Kuang touched his chin thoughtfully.
Come to think of it, this is Yang Country, the real headquarters of Shennongsi.
Although Shennong Division is not as good as Xuan Shendao Sect and Wugou Pure Land, it is still an absolute sect, and its strength is undoubted.
If you can't control the monsters in your own base camp and let your mortal enemies run rampant, then what's the point of practicing? Why don't you just go home and plant sweet potatoes?
The Shen Nong Division kept the demons in the Yang Kingdom for only one purpose——
If there are no villains, how can heroes be worshiped?
Only by allowing monsters to wreak havoc can Shennongsi have meaning in existence and being enshrined, and can mortals willingly and even rush to offer enshrinements.
There are no special trading currencies for practitioners such as spiritual stones in this world. Both mortals and practitioners use gold, silver and copper.
Normal practitioners can only fast after reaching the Holding Moon state. They only need to eat wind and drink dew, and there is no need to eat grains.
Before that, eating, drinking and diarrhea are all problems that need to be solved.
To maintain the operation of such a large sect, money is essential, and even relatively speaking, it can be said to be the most important point.
There are so many low-level practitioners down there who need to be raised.
Otherwise, if I join your sect and fail to finish my meal, who will follow you?
For example, Xuan Shendao Sect directly occupied a Fuli Island, which was equivalent to forming its own country, and allowed the people under its rule to make incense offerings.
In contrast, the people of this continent are the people of the Xuan Shen Dao Sect and are protected by it.
This is a common "ecosphere" between practitioners and mortals in Cangyuan.
Although the sects in other countries are not so exaggerated, they are more or less connected with the court and cooperate with each other.
And Wu Man, as well as demons like her living in Zangfeng State, have already found a way to survive and work for the chief catcher.
It has become a part of the ecological circle of Zangfeng Prefecture.
Chen Kuang plucked the strings and asked with great interest: "Then Uncle Wang Yang, who is guarding theft, wants to enrich his own pockets with the official money?"
Wu Man nodded. She knew well that those who are in charge of current affairs are heroes, and now she had no intention of resisting:
"Yes... over the years, he has relied on this method to instruct us to do similar things, and then deliberately let us go, making a lot of profits from it."
Her words really made her feel clean...
Chen Kuang laughed in his heart.
Such an obvious statement, if he hadn't seen Wu Man's arrogance before, he would really believe it.
Judging from Wu Man's attitude, she definitely benefited from it, otherwise she would never be so active and even regarded Wang Yangbo as a real supporter.
It seemed that the situation of the demons in Yang Kingdom was not as bad as he thought. I am afraid that a large part of them had been rescued by the imperial edict.
However, those officers were serious about their previous searches.
It can be seen that the practitioners below do not know this link...
It's one thing to release water when catching, but if monsters like Wu Man are really caught, Wang Yangbo probably won't let them go.
Chen Kuang asked: "How many monsters are there like you?"
Wu Man said: "Not many. Not all demons are valuable, and not all demons are willing to take risks to do these things."
"Most demons still just want to live."
Wu Man laughed silently in his heart, these demons will never understand that in human territory, if demons just want to live... they can't live.
Chen Kuang asked again: "So, there should be a third kind of demon, right?"
Wu Man was silent for a while. Chen Kuang actually asked a lot, but she just thought that the senior Bailong had just entered the world and wanted to know the current situation of the demon, and said: "Yes."
"The demons who are enemies of humans have formed the 'Mountain and Sea Alliance'. Not only the demons in Yang Kingdom, but demons from other places also participate."
This is the first time Chen Kuang has heard of the large-scale organization of the Demon Clan.
However, it is normal for demon clans to stick together...
Chen Kuang thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "What about you? Have you joined?"
Wu Man was stunned for a moment, then said: "I am a casual cultivator..."
Before she finished speaking, the invisible "Sword of Intention" had fallen again.
"Ugh!" Wu Man groaned and knelt down directly. Scales appeared on his body instantly, and his face was covered with purple scales. He was so weak that he couldn't even scream.
Because Chen Kuang had been using his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice, Liu Qingcheng had no idea what was going on, and looked at him with a blank look on his face as he was saying this nicely, but suddenly turned into such a miserable look again.
But thinking about it...it should have angered Chen Kuang again.
Liu Qingcheng was secretly shocked, and she was somewhat glad that she did not really treat Chen Kuang as a villain. Although Chen Kuang did not show hostility to her, judging from his current behavior, he was definitely not a good person.
Chen Kuang's kindness may just be because of her ignorance and weakness.
Wu Man was tortured to this point without even moving a hand...
After a long time, Wu Man completely collapsed on the ground, his face was pale, his breathing was more out and less in, and his lower body had turned into a purple snake tail, twisting slowly.
Chen Kuang withdrew the "Intentional Sword" and said calmly: "Don't try to lie."
The "I am the inspiration" passive allows him to judge whether what the other party says is true or false.
Wu Man was lying just now.
She is not a casual cultivator at all.
"yes……"
Wu Man responded with a trembling voice, not even daring to get up, but just lying on the ground, feeling extremely scared inside.
This is not just a simple method of spiritual consciousness, the evil spirit and viciousness contained in the "Sword of Mind" has reached a terrifying level.
Only then did she realize that the sword strike the first time was just a simple warning, and she had not used her full strength.
But with this second sword, Chen Kuang showed his true strength.
When the sword came down, it was as if there were thousands of resentful souls roaring, and everywhere was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Countless corpses were rotting and piled up, like layers of overcooked sunken noodles... just heading towards it like that. She collapsed and was pressed down by the overwhelming force.
This scene is enough to cause a nervous breakdown.
It is unimaginable how many people this True Lord White Dragon has killed to develop such terrifying evil aura? !
Wu Man thought wrong... She thought that the other party was a senior demon clan who had no interest in world affairs and had lived in seclusion for many years. However, she did not expect that this was an old monster that was killing people like crazy!
What's even more frightening is that he can actually see into other people's thoughts!
Chen Kuang's voice was still ethereal, with no ups and downs in his tone: "You are from the 'Shanhai Alliance'."
Wu Man didn't dare to fool him anymore: "Yes."
Chen Kuang added: "But the people in the 'Shanhai Alliance' don't know that you are working for Wang Yangbo."
Wu Man said with difficulty: "Yes..."
Chen Kuang said in a deep voice: "You are in the Climbing Tower Realm... and your status in the 'Shanhai Alliance' should not be low. There will at least be a group of demons who will obey your orders. You deceive them and act with you. On the surface, you are ' Shanhaimeng's work is against Shennongsi."
"In this way, there is no flaw in the matter. No matter who comes to investigate, they can't find anything to do with the demon guild of the 'Shanhai Alliance' and the chief arrester of the Shennong Division."
"But in fact, you deliberately betrayed them and then gave the proceeds to Wang Yangbo to share."
This was his guess, but he felt it was close to ten.
Wu Man not only works for Wang Yangbo but is also a member of the "Shanhai Alliance", so one of them will definitely be betrayed by her.
Judging from Wu Man's attitude, she is probably not an undercover agent of the "Shan Hai Alliance", but Wang Yangbo's target.
Wu Man's heart tightened when she heard this, that's exactly what she did.
That Akan... died in her hands not long ago.
She was the one who pushed him out to take the blame.
In this way, Wang Yangbo can also catch the culprit and close the case, and the missing Guan Yin will be in the hands of him and Wu Man.
Chen Kuang had already gotten the answer from Wu Man's silence, and couldn't help but sneer and applaud them in his heart.
What a good calculation!
Wu Man was worried whether Chen Kuang would take action because of his killing of his own people, but unexpectedly, the White Dragon True Lord suddenly ignored it, handled it lightly, and didn't mention it anymore.
Chen Kuang turned to ask: "What is the original use of this official silver?"
The reason why he raised this question was because he had previously found two seals in the official silver box. The seals and signatures on them were not the seals and signatures of the Yangguo Prefecture government, but the imperial household department.
In other words, this batch of official silver was issued by the Yangguo court.
Wu Man was stunned, and then said quietly: "Disaster relief."
Chen Kuang frowned: "Disaster relief?"
Wu Man recovered a little strength, and reluctantly used the snake's tail to support himself to stand up. He licked the blood on his dry lips, nodded, and said, "That's right."
She thought to herself, it seems that this old monster has really not been out for a long time... She doesn't know what happened recently.
Wu Man explained: "Yong'an Prefecture, which is adjacent to Zangfeng Prefecture, has been experiencing heavy rains since the beginning of autumn last month, causing the dam of the main branch of the Yong'an River, the largest river in Yang State, to break and floods to spread hundreds of miles. It affects millions of mortals."
"The Imperial Court of Yang Kingdom has only begun disaster relief this month. These ten boxes of official silver... are the disaster relief silver issued."
Chen Kuang was silent for a while. He was still lamenting that this box contained too much official silver.
But now that he knew it was disaster relief money, his thoughts suddenly turned 180 degrees... How could there be so much?
It’s so little!
The floods affected millions of people, but only ten boxes of money were distributed for disaster relief?
The Yang Kingdom looks glamorous on the surface...how come it seems even more outrageous than the Liang Kingdom.
He subconsciously said: "Didn't the practitioners intervene?"
Wu Man asked in surprise: "Why do practitioners interfere?"
Chen Kuang was speechless.
Yes, why did he forget that the practitioners in this world are not Bodhisattvas who save people from suffering. I am afraid that less than one ten thousandth of them really focus on merit, and most of them are bald donkeys far away in the Pure Land.
Even the Xuan Shen Dao sect cultivates not merit, but "morality".
Merit comes from the outside, morality comes from the inside.
The original family almost died from the drought in Dongting Lake thirteen years ago. Could it be that some practitioners took action?
Later, I found out that after the demon sword was born, I was more active in searching for it. It can be seen that practitioners basically don't care about things like natural disasters.
Chen Kuang didn't speak, but Wu Man started to make up his own mind: "Senior is saying... this flood may have been caused by practitioners? This makes some sense."
In order to save her life, she tried her best to show her worth and revealed a piece of news she knew.
"A few months ago, the Shennong Division secretly sent many disciples and even two masters to Yong'an Prefecture, but I don't know what the purpose is... It is said that a magical spiritual treasure is about to be born, but I don't know whether it is true or not. .”
Wu Man added: "However, there has been little activity in the Shennong Division this month. They even recalled one of them. It seems that the three masters who were originally guarding the division were sent to the border to intercept people, but they died inexplicably..."
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, the news had already spread to Yang Kingdom.
Before he "died", he also sensed the auras of four grandmasters on the edge of the battlefield. One of them was Shen Xingzhu, and the remaining three should be from the Shennong Division.
These three grandmasters must have been killed by their senior brothers, right?
"I also know a lot about the internal affairs of Shennong Division. If seniors want to hear it, I will tell you everything I know."
Wu Man felt that Lord White Dragon seemed to be somewhat interested in this topic and quickly expressed his interest.
Chen Kuang did not comment and just said: "Oh? The internal affairs of Shennong Division should also be confidential. Tell me, how do you explain it to Wang Yangbo?"
"Are you going to betray him?"
Wu Man's breath was stagnant, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "I am just doing things for Uncle Wang Yang for profit...it cannot be called a betrayal."
Chen Kuang said: "What about this box of official silver...?"
Wu Man hurriedly said: "Respect the senior! I also know the location of the remaining official silver, so I can inform the senior!"
She opened her mouth and spat out, and the other three boxes of official silver fell to the ground.
Chen Kuang couldn't help but think that the more money he had, the more money he would get... He couldn't help but do it himself!
Chen Kuang said: "In that case, you can lead the way."
Save your life! Wu Man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course!"
"It's just..." she hesitated: "Senior, won't you show up?"
Chen Kuang said: "You can see me when you walk out the door."
Wu Man swallowed the blood, glanced cautiously at Liu Qingcheng, who was standing aside cautiously while watching the one-man show, turned around, and walked out.
The corridor outside was empty, except for the sparkling waves on the Rouge River, and the sound of the piano in the distance had stopped.
Wu Man felt anxious, took two steps forward, and asked tentatively: "Senior?"
Chen Kuang's voice suddenly came from behind her, very close at hand.
"here I am."
Wu Man was startled, and before he could turn around, he felt a heat in his throat.
She lowered her head and saw blood gushing out. Then her vision went black and she fell straight forward.
Chen Kuang narrowed his eyes, took back the sword in his hand, and casually held a sword flower in his arm.
The sword was soft, with no trace of forging at all. It was simply a thin piece of soft iron, with no edges on both sides and the tips were blunt.
Liu Qingcheng said in astonishment: "My performance sword!"
That's right, this was a prop originally placed in Liu Qingcheng's room to perform sword dancing. It didn't have any lethality... That's how it was.
Chen Kuang turned his head and looked at her, then threw the sword in his hand to her.
"It's just for borrowing, don't worry, it's not dirty."
"Sword of Intention" is too labor-intensive, so naturally it is more convenient to attack by surprise.
The "Sword Heart" passive is really powerful. As long as it is a sword, it can be used like an arm to achieve the desired effect.
Liu Qingcheng hurriedly caught it and took a closer look. Sure enough, the smooth and shiny sword had no blood on it and was very clean!
Liu Qingcheng was stunned on the spot.
I never thought that this prop sword, as soft as cotton, could one day be used to kill people!
Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, but that’s it, right?
Chen Kuang waved his hand, and the "indestructible fire" that appeared immediately wrapped Wu Man's body and turned it into fly ash.
After being in a daze for a long time, Liu Qingcheng came to her senses, looked at the pile of fly ash, and said cautiously:
"You, you just killed her like this... What about the other officials, money, and information? You don't want them anymore?"
Chen Kuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course someone will take the initiative to tell me."
The status bar in the field of view was refreshed twice.
For the first time, content other than passive appears.
[You relied on your words to make the snake demon Wuman believe your lies, and you obtained the passive "reasonable and evidence-based": as long as your words are logically consistent, they will have a high probability of being believed and difficult to raise doubts. 】
[You have gained one bad karma and one good karma]
