Chapter 700 The Power of Illusion
"Since Mr. Song has thought everything through, I'm relieved."
Lin Mu thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed what Song Xu said.
The Taixuan Sect and other forces are powerful, but they are still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand in Wuliang Mountain, and the interests of many forces are involved in Nebula Valley.
The Nebula Sect was very aware of this last time, so it only cleaned up and incorporated the internal forces in Nebula Valley and did not take action against those external forces.
On the contrary, now Nebula Sect has cleared up the order in Nebula Valley, allowing the scale of transactions in Nebula Valley to flourish. The degree of satisfaction of those external forces with Nebula Sect is much stronger than that of the previous three overlords.
"still have a question."
Song Xu added, "Using the three divine fingers requires sacrificing a large number of lives. Master, do we really want to do that?"
"The finger of the gods requires vitality, not necessarily human vitality."
Lin Mu said calmly, "If the gods of other races use human lives to sacrifice, it would be a demonic and evil way. But if humans do this on their own, it will not be as good as a demonic or evil way. It can only be regarded as vicious and dirty. , a perverted way that has no humanity.”
He has already considered this. In fact, he wants to make the finger of the gods work, whether it is using monsters, plants or human life.
However, among the three methods, sacrificing human life is the cheapest.
Because monsters and plants that can provide such powerful vitality are absolutely priceless. In the past, the three major overlords such as the Iron Blood Alliance would rather sacrifice human lives than sacrifice monsters or plants that could be sold for sky-high prices.
But Lin Mu would never do this. He would rather pay a huge price than sacrifice a human life.
What's more, in his space ring, he collected many plants excavated from the mysterious Taoist temple.
These plants are of extremely high vintage, at least a thousand years old. Using them to offer sacrifices is probably more effective than human life.
"It turns out that the leader has long been concerned about this, so I will go down and arrange other things first."
Song Xu looked relieved.
He often has a heart of stone when it comes to human life. He would not frown when he saw so many soldiers dying on the battlefield.
In this respect, it can be said that he has no regard for human life.
But he also has his own bottom line. No matter how indifferent he is, he will never disregard human life.
If Lin Mu wanted to sacrifice his life this time, he might go on the mission, but he would never serve Lin Mu sincerely from now on.
"wait a minutes."
Lin Mu took out a talisman and a dozen herbs from his arms, "This talisman is the talisman of the Purgatory Formation. It is under your control. There are also these dozen herbs, which are thousands of years old. They are enough to Used for sacrifice, the three divine fingers are also controlled by you. I believe you know better than me when to choose when to use these things."
He is better at fighting, but his ability to see the overall situation on the battlefield is obviously not as good as Song Xu, who has commanded many large-scale battles.
Seeing Lin Mu hand over these extremely precious things to him without hesitation, Song Xu was deeply touched.
In Yanjing, he was highly valued by the King of Yan.
However, as a king, King Yan was suspicious by nature, and he always pursued the method of checks and balances. Every time even if he had to hand over power to him, he would leave corresponding restraints.
But Lin Mu didn't. He handed these priceless things to him neatly without even a more specific instruction.
"good."
However, Song Xu also knew that the situation was urgent and did not refuse, but his tone was obviously more respectful.
Not long after Song Xu left, Lin Mu picked up the Chengyuan Sword on the table and suddenly looked toward the southeast of Xingyun Valley.
Then, he picked up his sword, stepped out of the courtyard in one step, and then flew towards the east with great speed.
Nebula Valley East.
The dragon in the wild is like a ray of air, flying quickly on the roofs of the houses on the street.
His body is transparent. Even if someone notices the fluctuations in the air, they will only think that there is wind blowing.
"Hmph, the biggest threat to Nebula Valley is not the Nebula Gate, but the three divine fingers. I will destroy the altars enshrining the three divine fingers one by one now."
Long made a cold calculation in his ambition, "Without the Divine Finger, the Nebula Sect will be like fish on the chopping board, and it won't be at my mercy."
After a while, he came to the Tianyahai Pavilion in the east, sneaked in without anyone noticing, and came to the outside of the dungeon where the Finger of the God was enshrined.
Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly frowned, and a familiar figure appeared not far from him.
"Gu Hengxing? Why is this guy here too?"
Long Zaiye was very unhappy. He felt that Gu Hengxing's thoughts were probably similar to his, so his goals this time were probably the same.
"The dragon is in the wild, stop hiding, I know you are nearby."
Although he didn't know where Long Zaiye was, Gu Hengxing said confidently.
He and Long Zaiye have been fighting for decades, and they are very clear about Long Zaiye's character and methods.
"Are you too brave to be afraid of being exposed?"
Long Zaiye's expression changed. He didn't expect Gu Hengxing to speak directly like this, and he immediately used his true energy to send a message to Gu Hengxing sternly.
"Exposed, exposed, what's the big deal? Is there anyone else in this little Nebula Valley who can threaten me?"
Gu Hengxing said indifferently.
"Humans can't do it, but what about the fingers of gods?"
Long Zaiye said coldly.
"The fingers of the gods are powerful, but you and I don't all have sacred weapons in our hands."
Gu Hengxing's tone was still casual.
"You don't have to ask questions knowingly. I believe you know what I mean. This time we come here, firstly, to remove the support of Xingyun Sect, and secondly, to take away the finger of the gods."
Long Zaiye snorted with dissatisfaction, "We are using holy weapons and fingers of gods to fight against each other, but that will definitely expose us, and other forces will also know my purpose. How can I succeed then?"
"Hey, isn't this about you?"
Gu Hengxing looked like he was taking advantage of the situation, "With you, a peerless lurking expert, by my side, I actually don't worry about being exposed at all."
"you……"
Long Zaiye was furious, but he really had nothing to do with Gu Hengxing. If he was not exposed, his only competitor would be Gu Hengxing. Once exposed, he would probably have to face nine invincible martial sects.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems a patrol team is coming, you'd better hurry up."
Gu Hengxing said proudly.
"you are vicious."
Long Zaiye gritted his teeth and quickly expanded his secret technique. Soon a hazy wave expanded, covering Gu Hengxing as well.
"Huh? It's actually the power of the illusion world. No wonder no one can detect you except Wu Zun."
Gu Hengxing soon realized the truth and said in wonder, "Hidden in the illusion world, it can only be sensed with soul power, and in this world, only Martial Lord can control soul power."
