"You didn't tell me that the strength of the Changling Sword Sect has reached this level!"
The voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness,
"If he wasn't bragging in front of people like Heng Nan, wouldn't it mean that it was also an accidental encounter? Then the inner demon dares to plot against us, but we have to avoid him? If they really join forces, wouldn't the plan be... If we had known Then I shouldn’t have helped you act out that scene!”
Faced with such a question, the man opposite him still narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"His realm is a bit higher than yours, and his brains and courage are obviously the upper hand. His momentum makes that guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death feel wary. Isn't it normal to be like this now?
"The person you want to deal with is very strong. I thought you knew this a long time ago, otherwise why would you become a thorn in your side? Or are you afraid? Are you afraid of being retaliated by Changling Sword Sect?"
"Of course I know! I have already been prepared to deal with it...but that was when Ling Linhan was also on our side!"
The voice became more impatient,
"You didn't tell me beforehand that their relationship is not as bad as the outside rumors! Based on the current strength comparison, as long as they cooperate, they can at least defeat the inner demons and drive out the demon army.
"With the cooperation and trust of fighting together, it will be difficult if we still want to use Ling Linhan to cause trouble for Ling Yao! Without him, who can deal with that genius! This is not good for us at all!"
The answer was a gentle sneer:
"So, there are always a lot of troubles in relying on others, especially if you want to rely on other people's mistakes to overtake..."
It seemed that a pain point had been hit, and the voice became a little more angry:
"If our talents had not withered in recent years, and were suppressed by several other forces in Wolong Kingdom, why would we have asked outsiders for help! Do you dare to say that there is no instigation and tacit approval from Shenlong Academy?!
"And this is not the issue we should talk about now! It seems that you have known Ling Yao's strength for a long time. I need an explanation!"
"It's precisely because things are not as bad as you think that I am in the mood to say something else."
The man still looked very calm and calm, and even changed his sitting posture leisurely:
"After all, I am the young master of Zixian Pavilion, so I should be calmer when things happen. Besides, even if something goes wrong, it's me who should be anxious, right? You just... echoed their wishes, That’s all. Even if they know it, what can they do?”
"That's what I said..."
Yin Ruobing's voice gradually weakened. But looking at her expression, we can also see her hesitation and struggle at the moment.
"Once trust is broken, it is not easy to repair it. Master...the master of the pavilion has warned us again and again. I don't want to offend him for your casual plan."
"It seems that your pavilion master's calculation ability is quite interesting."
The man actually showed some interest.
"Don't worry, I am also a person who cherishes my life. As long as you don't let go, everything is under control. If you step back ten thousand steps, even if that kid really turns against Zixian Pavilion, you who have directly formed an alliance with Shenlong Academy will have gained If you have a strong enough ally, you won’t lose anything.”
"I hope so."
Yin Ruobing snorted dissatisfiedly,
"If you hadn't been able to use Dean Tian's personal magic weapon as a token and certificate, who would have believed in a young boy like you who only knows the golden calamity. Forget it this time, let me believe you for once. But I can warn you. , if you hide it from me in the future, I can interrupt the cooperation at any time."
"Hahaha, then please continue to trust me."
The man didn't seem to mind the offense in Yin Ruobing's tone. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation with a smile.
"I know you are worried that the two of us disappearing together for a long time will arouse suspicion, and you are in a hurry to leave now, so I won't send you off."
Yin Ruobing just looked at him deeply, pulled up the hood of her cloak with both hands, covered her head, and quickly turned and left.
The man who was still sitting in his seat faced Yin Ruobing's hurried back with a "friendly and friendly" smile on his face. Even though he knew that the other party could not see him at all, he waved goodbye politely.
After the back figure completely disappeared from sight, his hand paused for a moment, then quickly retracted it with a funny look on his face, stroking his cheek:
"Hahahahaha, the little girls nowadays are so unlovable. They are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they don't even have the courtesy to speak to others properly.
"But that's right. After all, Zixian Pavilion is in really bad shape right now. When you think about taking over such a situation in the future, people will inevitably get anxious. You are already over a hundred years old, so you can't argue with a little girl.
“Besides, that’s why it’s so easy to use—”
As if just rubbing his face, the man's appearance suddenly distorted and changed, and finally settled into a completely different face.
"Well, I feel more comfortable with this old face of mine. And using this face, communicating with 'that guy' is more convincing."
He stood up, stretched, and murmured to himself,
"Okay. It's almost time. It's time to meet the next person..."
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed from a dilapidated attic to a deep valley and dense forest. Not far away, a dark shadow was floating in the air, staring at him closely with two blood-red eyes.
"Oh. It's already here. It's so early."
He looked at the unkind-looking visitor with a smile - if that dark thing could be considered to have a "face".
"You're late."
A low and hoarse voice came from the thick fog. And as it finished speaking, the birds that happened to pass by in the air suddenly trembled and fell to the ground in a daze - falling to the ground with a huff.
"Ah, really? But he is indeed the inner demon among the high-level demons. It is really unexpected that he can have such shocking soul-stirring power just by making a sound."
The red eyes narrowed, seemingly dissatisfied with the other party's evasive answer. But it is obviously more eager here than the other party's leisurely attitude:
"So. I have come to the appointment as promised. You should also fulfill your promise and tell me 'the method', right?"
"It's a pity that only a clone came..."
"In fact, my true body has always been in the Netherworld, and everyone who can come here is a clone. If not, with your strength, you would have attacked me directly, so why bother to use me in a roundabout way? To achieve your goal? Furthermore, isn’t the person in front of you your clone? "
"Yes, this is a clone made of the Poinciana tree. It is very precious. It is normal for us to be a little more careful between us. After all, your physical strength in the Netherworld is equal to mine. It would be an 'offense' for me to come here in person." ?”
He nodded, not shying away from such a straightforward statement.
"Furthermore, although as a person from the great world of Mang Sheng, it is a bit unkind to do this, but who knows what will happen in the future? I also want to leave a way for myself in the Netherworld through you. So at least for now, We are definitely allies. I'm not going to lie to you about this.
"I hope to use your hand to sow their relationship, get rid of the one with the sword without leaving any trace, and let the smaller child take the position of head of the family. And you can also use that child to get more Perfect possession of the body. Mutual benefit and win-win, isn’t it beautiful?”
"If you let me take such a big risk, you must show your sincerity."
The red light in the dark mist flickered, seeming to accept what the other party said,
"Let me see how perfect the body is, and how do you ensure that I can get it?"
"This is exactly the purpose of inviting you here this time."
He waved his robe sleeves, and two cyan flames immediately shot out from the armholes, condensing into shape in the air.
——It looks like the floor plan of the Ling family’s home!
"You should still remember the special skills and unexpected magic weapons he had when you met him earlier, right? These were not given to him by our people after they came into contact with him, but what he got by chance eight years ago - that This is the legacy left by Patriarch Tianxin, a powerful person in the mortal realm.
"Eight years ago... a half-year-old child had not yet touched the threshold of the cyclone realm. It was impossible to explore the dangerous secret realm or the powerful legacy. Where did he get such a great opportunity? Obviously, his opportunity Right here. This Ling family is the place where Patriarch Tianxin fell!
His finger moved and landed on the center of the map, which was the forbidden area of the Ling family.
"Unfortunately, when I discovered this treasure, I also discovered a huge formation to seal this 'gift' - with the Ling family realm as the core and extending outwards, the streets, houses, and even the grass on the roadside A tree has spread to the entire Ling family, and it is part of the formation! What a terrifying mind and power this is! Even now, I can't crack it. I even have every reason to believe that the fall of Patriarch Tianxin is uncertain. What this 'Sealer' did!
"But fortunately, although these people of the Ling family live on this treasure mountain and have guarded it for generations, no one discovered this opportunity. Until that lucky child was born, when the formation reached its only tiny flaw, it was 'unintentional' Got the tip of the iceberg of treasure.
"To be honest, to this day, I still can't figure out whether the 'flaw' is a problem with the formation, or whether the person who sealed it has already planned to hand everything over to that child..."
Seeing that this guy had a tendency to tell the whole story, the demon interrupted him impatiently:
"So the 'perfect body' you are talking about is underground in this small family, in the legacy of Patriarch Tianxin?"
"No...not a legacy."
Before the inner demon got angry, he showed a meaningful smile,
"It's something that makes your heart beat better than the so-called 'heritage'
"——The corpse of Patriarch Tianxin!"
After a long silence, the inner demon asked:
"Did you covet that body? Are you just going to leave it to me like this?"
"It would be a lie to say that I am not moved. However, if the plan succeeds, I will get something more important. In exchange, giving you the remains is not unacceptable."
"So... is that 'Sealer' still here?"
"Who knows? But whether he is here or not, he probably doesn't mind if others use non-violent means to obtain this wealth - especially that child. It can even be said that only that child is most likely to overcome all obstacles. Get this treasure.
"So now you understand why I said that as long as you help him get rid of the obstacles, sit on the position of the head of the family, and open the forbidden area of the Ling family, you will have a chance to get the 'physical body' you want, right?"
He shrugged,
"However, I have to remind you that that child is different from me. He can't tolerate such sand in his eyes, let alone any cooperation with the demons. So, except for the 'plan' I proposed, I’m afraid you can’t think of a better way.”
"I see... that's it. I thought you were just asking to lend my hand to kill that kid who can make thunder."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"
He held his stomach, wiped the physiological tears from the corners of his eyes, and laughed without any image.
"You are so funny. With my status and strength, do I still need to rely on you to deal with a little guy like that? He is just an uneasy stepping stone in my plan.
"Now, it's just that he is about to complete his 'own job' and prepare to 'end his life'."
"...Maybe you are more like a 'demon' than me, Dean Tian Xi."
Being called by the demon clan, Tian Xi just waved his hand:
"Don't say that. How can my calculations compare to your power to directly control other people's minds? If you think I am like a 'demon', it only means that you know too little about 'human beings' .”
"I have some doubts about your promise not to do anything. You don't seem like someone who will just wait for the result."
"Hey, that's different. Didn't I already make an oath when we first met? You also know how binding oaths are to people at our level, right? At least in this incident, I won't do anything to you."
After saying that, Tian Xi put away the flames in the air, took out a square crystal from his sleeve robe, and threw it towards the inner demon.
"This is the Hidden Breath Stone. It can help you hide in that child. It's my sincerity. You must keep it. In order to keep the plan confidential, I will probably not contact you again in the future."
"...It's best this way."
The black mist jumped up and down, engulfing the crystal. The red light in its pupils gradually extinguished.
A gust of wind blew by, and the mist quickly dissipated into the air without a trace.
"Of course I won't do anything to you."
Tian Xi touched the stubble on his chin and showed a meaningful smile.
"The demons... are the 'prey' of the 'Heavenly One', so in what turn will an old man like me take action?
"What kind of inheritance and remains...as long as they fall into the hands of the 'Heavenly One', they will not all be my property in the end...
"Well, look what that kid is doing now. Don't end up making mistakes with him."
Tian Xi lowered his head and groped for a while, and finally took out a round mirror from his sleeve.
The style of the mirror was very ordinary, and the peeling gold paint on the frame made it look cheap. But Tian Xi slowly tapped the mirror with his fingers and recited a spell in a low voice.
The mirror that originally reflected the old man's face suddenly rippled in circles, and the picture gradually changed to another place, and finally a strange scene emerged.
The old man frowned slightly, as if thinking about where this was, and then heard a familiar voice coming from the mirror:
"Master Youda, you have taken great care of the Ling family in these years when you were in charge of the Southeast Prefecture. I am really grateful to you! No, today I brought this incompetent boy to visit you in person. Happy birthday to you!
"Look, this is a congratulatory gift! I heard that the juniors of my Ling family don't understand the rules and haven't given you anything good in the past few years. Didn't I bring you double this year?
"Oh, don't tremble! Look at you, why do you think we are here to scare you and shorten your life? It really scares other guests, how bad is it? Today is a happy day Ah, you should be happy!"
Ling Yao, who was holding the bloody Chengying Sword and talking nonsense, Ling Linhan, who was confused and at a loss, You Huanzhi, who was trembling with blue face, and all the guests, as well as the three people in the courtyard. Five corpses of the sixth-level monster Black Mountain Black Leopard... everything is included in the picture.
Oh, this leopard seems to be the monster that protects You Huanzhi’s home, right?
No wonder You Huanzhi looked so ugly - he was being threatened!
"Ah! That's right! Just this small gift is not enough! I also went to the south of the city to invite a band to entertain Mr. You's banquet!! Come on, come on! It's just enough to liven up the atmosphere!"
Ling Yao didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and he was clapping his hands and shouting excitedly. Soon, a group of colorfully dressed people poured in, filling the entire lobby.
Even though Tian Xi was an old man who had lived for most of his life, he was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. After a long while, he shook his head with a funny look on his face:
"Young man, he is so full of vigor and vitality... If it weren't for the 'Heavenly Blessed One', maybe a boy like this would be more to my liking."
"I hope that on the decisive day when the five-year agreement is fulfilled, you can be as energetic as you are now... full of energy, play the role of 'destined enemy', and welcome... the ending."
The picture in the mirror went out.
==Must complain==
Mr. Ling Yao, please reflect on yourself. You are also a villain, why are you so far behind others? ! You only know how to hide! Skin! Skin! (Pinch the Shiba Inu’s face.jpg)
