Ma En went to the room that Tang Xueluan deliberately provided, but the situation was as he expected. He did not find any clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes. What was really important was the ring she gave to him.
Ma En was very glad that the man behind the scenes did not consider Tang Xueluan's betrayal. If she really dealt with him wholeheartedly as the other party arranged, then he would be really in danger.
Even he might not be able to escape successfully. Fortunately, Tang Xueluan didn't really want to kill him, and he still remembered the old friendship and kept it. This would also be an opportunity for him to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
At least that's what Ma En originally thought.
【
Anomalous Entity: Ring of Lies
Abnormal intensity: IV-5
describe:
Lies are stamped on its positive side.
characteristic:
Lie Shelter IV-5
The Gulama magic spell can prevent the lies carefully crafted by the caster from being exposed.
Surveillance Eye IV-5
The second characteristic protected by lies is set to be triggered when approaching Man. It has powerful magical power to penetrate lies and see the truth, and can bypass ordinary shielding facilities for surveillance.
】
It was not that the mastermind behind the scenes had not expected this situation, but that he had made two preparations. He had already thought that Tang Xueluan might give this thing to him, or that he might find a way to get the ring.
If I didn't have a control bureau, but just used ordinary methods to prevent surveillance, and then tried to find the mastermind by studying this thing, I would probably be turned against me.
How on earth did he get into such a dangerous role?
If Ma En had to think about who had this motive to deal with, he could only think that some powerful entity was aware of the abnormal control bureau he owned, but the other party's approach was not consistent with this purpose.
It's more like the other party wants to kill him without revealing his identity.
After figuring out these problems, Ma En directly disintegrated the ring, then directly entered the shadow dimension and began to move towards his final goal. He had no intention of hiding just like that.
Tang Xueluan only spread the news about herself to the Federation when she met her, and she was not in the Federation now, so it would take some time for them to confirm the news.
In other words, theoretically speaking, I still have time to obtain the anti-psychic metal spiritual treasure.
Ma En walked out of the shadow dimension and stepped directly on the dirt on the top of the mountain.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding thick fog began to gather towards the position in front of him, and quickly condensed into the figure of Taoist Xiaoyao, and looked directly at Ma En who stepped out of the shadow.
"You came just in time." Xiaoyao said to Ma En, "You told me that things are already clear, but why didn't you keep the magic weapon I gave you to protect your life?"
The life-protecting magic weapon that Xiaoyao gave him was obviously not all for protecting him. Although Ma En did not use the control bureau to test its specific effect, he knew that there must be something wrong with it. It might have some kind of surveillance method like the ring.
Ma En opened his eyes and told lies:
"I was in a bit of a hurry when I came here and forgot to bring it."
Xiaoyao didn't mean to expose him, he just nodded slightly:
"My master has spent some time in the past few days to recalculate your matter. Now things have become a little clearer. He will find you not because of a simple conflict of interests, but because of the people you have killed."
Ma En blinked:
"Which one?"
Xiaoyao said:
"Then you have to think carefully about which guy who died by your hands has the background to cause such trouble."
Ma En fell into thinking:
"Maybe there are a few, but I did them all cleanly..."
Xiaoyao smiled:
"There is nothing clean about level V ability users. People who lived a thousand years ago would not think about how to prevent today's detection methods when they committed crimes, and your method is the same for level V ability users.
"You'd better think about who you provoked. If you really can't figure it out, we can only passively respond to the opponent's moves.
"If it doesn't work, you can stay here and practice slowly."
Ma En showed a thoughtful expression, but then turned around and said:
"I can't think of it yet, but master, this is not why I came back this time. I have basically arranged the things you asked me to do, so I was wondering if I could first get the soul spirit made of anti-psychic metal. Bao, if I really encounter an accident, I might be able to cope with it better..."
But before he could speak, Xiaoyao's expression became a little calmer, and then he turned to ask directly as if he didn't hear Ma En's question:
"I think you look a little ugly. Are you in trouble again?"
Ma En deliberately remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
"I won't hide it from Master. In fact, this is also related to what I mentioned last time. You also know that I used to be a member of the Salvation Alliance, and I actually have some secrets that are shady to the Federation.
"And this guy who didn't know why he came to me also dug up some of my secrets and handed them over directly to the federation, hoping to use their hands to deal with me. I may be on the road to escape again.
"So I thought that before I leave, I must at least take away the things made with my anti-psychic metal. Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to come back here again."
He came here just to try his luck and see if he could deceive Xiaoyao and take away the Lingbao, but now that Xiaoyao already knew that the situation had changed, it was almost impossible for him to take away the Lingbao like this.
When he spoke, he specifically emphasized that the material was his own anti-psychic metal. He said this just to remind Xiaoyao that this thing was not only made by the other party, it should be his.
But Ma En also knew that even if he said something, it would be of no use.
In fact, Xiaoyao's expression did not change much when listening to him.
Instead, he showed a concerned look:
"I see, I understand, but your affairs with the Federation have nothing to do with me, and I don't care at all what bad things you have done to the Federation. You are still my disciple no matter what.
"But now that everything is like this, can the things you helped me handle continue smoothly?"
Ma En, who had basically given up his mind, replied:
"It may take some time before this matter is fully resolved, but it only takes two days for the Shu family to resolve this matter. Then Master, you can just communicate with the Federation yourself. After all, I am not an important member of this matter."
In fact, although there are indeed more variables in this matter, it is not difficult if Xiaoyao really wants to solve it. In the end, this matter can be completed smoothly, and it has nothing to do with Ma En.
But after these days of arithmetic, Xiaoyao has realized that when he used anti-psychic metal as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the federation, it was because of the difficulties it would encounter.
It wasn't until this moment that he fully realized how strong the binding effect of this spiritual treasure on Ma En was. Xiaoyao originally thought that he could control Ma En without this thing, but now it seems...
If Ma En really got the anti-spiritual treasure, I'm afraid I would never see him again.
It is precisely because of this that if Ma En could really successfully complete what he told him, he might have stopped himself from making such a decision on a whim at that time, but this was not a bad thing for him.
Because he had completely determined that Ma En cared about this spiritual treasure much more than he showed. Whenever he encountered such a thing, he chose to come here directly to try to take it away.
Now that the disguise has been completely torn away, Xiaoyao also opened his eyes and told lies:
"Maybe, but I promised that I would hand it over to you after you finish it, but you haven't really completed it yet. Even if it is successfully completed, it will only be a natural result.
"But as I said, I don't care what the Federation thinks of you. If I could, I would even stop them and protect you. But the trouble you caused should be quite big, right?"
Ma En nodded:
"Even you can't protect me. What I did may make them suspect that Skywalker is involved."
Xiaoyao understood the seriousness of this matter when he heard the name, and he didn't believe that Ma En was only suspected of being involved in Shenxiao. He must really have some connection with Shenxiao.
And just looking at what Ma En did after joining the Federation, almost everything was related to Shenxiao. After all, they recruited Ma En largely because of his relationship with Shenxiao.
Xiaoyao nodded slightly:
"Yes, your master, although I am very capable, it is still impossible to fight against the entire federation, so you'd better escape as soon as possible, and as your master, I naturally can't just watch.
"Although I can't protect you directly, I will also cast a spell to cover your whereabouts, and the spell will just use the spiritual treasure I just cast with anti-psychic metal, but you don't have to worry, this thing is still yours.
"As long as you can break through to the golden elixir realm, you can come back and take it away at any time."
This statement is not completely false. Xiaoyao does intend to cover up Ma En's whereabouts. After all, Ma En's holiday with the Federation means nothing to him. Ma En's physique and talent are what he cares about.
So he didn't want the federation to find Ma En, and although he didn't know what Ma En's secret was yet, the fact that Ma En dared to come here to see him proved that he still had some confidence in his ability to evacuate safely.
So Xiaoyao planned to provide some help to Ma En and then wait for him to solve the problem. Xiaoyao had already seen Ma En's ability to solve problems with his own eyes, so he was relatively confident in Ma En.
And if Ma En really failed to survive, he would definitely be captured alive by the Federation at that time, and he could only use the past to retake the experience he gave to Ma En, and then leave it to his last disciple.
We have to thank Ma En for this, it was he who allowed Guan Yi to survive.
But that's all Xiaoyao plans to do. In fact, he is not completely unable to directly help Ma En solve this whole problem, but now Xiaoyao really doesn't have the energy, and this matter doesn't seem to be that simple.
And unlike the test he arranged, this was a test the world gave Ma En. If Ma En died in it, it would prove that he had misjudged him, and it would not be a pity to die.
Of course, Xiaoyao still felt that Ma En could overcome this difficulty, and he also hoped that his disciple would be Ma En who was not in trouble, otherwise he would not help.
If he really wanted to die, it would be best if he died after the golden elixir stage.
Because when the time comes, Ma En's character, understanding of cultivation, and his physique can all be turned into mist by Xiaoyao using secret techniques and given to other disciples. This is why he urges Ma En to break through to the golden elixir realm.
Xiaoyao didn't lie about handing over the Lingbao after Jindan. As long as Ma En really breaks through, he will really hand over this Lingbao that can restrain Ma En, because then he won't need it. This is a spiritual treasure.
This is also the reason why he claimed to leave a spiritual treasure. Helping Ma En cover up his traces did involve the spiritual realm, but he would not use this spiritual treasure at all to cast the corresponding spells.
Ma En also knew that Xiaoyao said this because he didn't want to give him the spiritual treasure, and he had nothing to do with Xiaoyao.
In fact, he originally thought about just trying to grab the things and run away, but after fighting against the company's assassins, he no longer felt that he might have a way to deal with Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao is definitely not the weakest among Level V. Even the Federation can't do anything to him directly, which proves that he can't be dealt with by himself now, and he can't escape unscathed even if he grabs something.
When encountering this kind of thing, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. To be honest, with such a powerful abnormal entity, he had no choice but to never attract the attention of others.
All he can do is develop enough to protect himself before being noticed, but this world is far more dangerous and terrifying than he originally imagined, and those powerful abnormal entities will not give themselves time and opportunities.
Reality is so unreasonable.
But in fact, this Lingbao has not become particularly difficult for him to obtain. These things just delayed the acquisition of the Lingbao itself for a while. He still had several ways to obtain it.
After all, no matter how cautious Xiaoyao is, he can't really realize how terrifying the Abnormality Control Bureau is.
Now he should take the lead in solving other problems that suddenly arise.
Ma En, who was thinking this way, also showed a fake smile:
"Then thank you, Master, for helping me cover my tracks."
Xiaoyao also smiled with him and said:
"As long as you don't say that Master helped you..."
But before Xiaoyao could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the scorching sun without clouds and fog, his eyes cold as he looked over, with a blurry figure reflected in his pupils.
"Bold!" Xiaoyao shouted angrily, waving his hand violently, and a swift silver-white light flew out of his sleeves and disappeared into the distant sky.
But the next feedback made him frown slightly. Although he sensed the other party's prying eyes, the flying sword that rushed out of his cuffs found no trace of the other party at all.
Who has this disciple offended?
Seeing this, Xiaoyao raised his hand and pinched it, and then a few dark clouds floated from the distance in the originally cloudless sky. In a blink of an eye, the sky upwind of them was filled with clouds at the height where they should have been.
Xiaoyao said:
"The guy who was dealing with you just now appeared, but my Heart Sword couldn't find him, and I couldn't directly kill him here for you, but I also have some sense of his way of peeping, so...
"Didn't I say that I would do it for you? Then I will give you a way to pray for rain. In the future, as long as you don't go to such a height that ordinary dark clouds can't cover you, you don't have to worry about his prying eyes wherever you go.
"But you have to be more careful. My master is still looking forward to your coming back to take away the spiritual treasure."
Ma En imitated the way his senior brother remembered and raised his hand:
"Thank you, Master."
Xiaoyao waved his hand:
"I'm ashamed of myself as a teacher. I'm not capable enough, so I can do this for you. Let's go quickly..."
"Remember to come back after cultivating to the Golden Core Realm."
