Chapter 182 Yang Huan's Temptation in the Forbidden Room
Chapter 182 Yang Huan's Temptation in the Forbidden Room
"You and I are both members of the development team, so we are colleagues."
"Friend Liu, are you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
"This is not the way a 'Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable' treats his guests."
Li Yu had a smile on his face, and his whole body exuded a kind of friendliness that made it impossible for people to have any ill will towards him. He looked completely harmless.
But Liu Tu had no intention of giving way and extending an invitation.
Still blocking the door, he said to Li Yu bluntly:
“No matter who is in Wanfu City, I’m afraid they wouldn’t dare to invite a [Chosen One of the Ten Thousand Changes] into their family. Who knows what conspiracy Fellow Daoist Li has hidden.”
"I, Liu Tu, was very polite by not drawing my sword."
Liu Tu looked awkward when he spoke.
But he himself couldn't feel what was wrong.
Little did he know that the reason he felt awkward and uncomfortable was because he was still infected.
As long as Li Yu stood in front of him, he would always be affected and would not have any malicious murderous thoughts towards Li Yu.
"Fortunately, I attacked him the moment we met, giving him some time to react. I'm afraid he would have drawn his life-definition magic sword and chased me."
"It's right to feel bad. It's your fault for making a sneak attack first and failing to pass the judgment."
Li Yu saw through everything in his mind and laughed to himself.
Although he was being targeted, Li Yu felt that he had many ways to deal with sword cultivators like Liu Tu.
He did not reply immediately, but suddenly stared and cast a spell, using his magical powers as a "Taoist doctor" to observe the changes in Liu Tu's Qi.
Then I thought about the information I had heard from various channels about this traitor of the Demon-Slaying Cult.
Suddenly, I understood.
The next moment, Li Yu suddenly said:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you have many misunderstandings about me. You must know that I also have a 'heart for swordsmanship'. Since I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a handsome swordsman in white clothes, roaming the sky."
"I also have great respect for the Devil-Subduing Heavenly Venerable."
"I came here this time to ask Daoist Liu for advice on sword-refining. If Daoist Liu is free, maybe you can give me some of Daoist Liu's discarded swords, sword balls, and other things. I'm really itching to get my hands on them and want to satisfy my desire to practice swordsmanship."
"Of course, I also have a generous gift for you."
When he heard this, Liu Tu was about to mock Li Yu.
As expected, he is a follower of the Lord of Change, who keeps telling lies. A scheming liar who says he wants to satisfy his urge to be a swordsman and even has the audacity to ask for rare items.
But soon, when Liu Tu heard Li Yu's next words, he regretted not closing the door in time and giving this guy the opportunity to speak.
"Fellow Daoist, you also know that the one I worship and follow is the God of Thousand Faces, who is quite sensitive to the changes in Qi."
"I also heard that you are seeking to be promoted to Sequence Five [Great Divine Power]. Now I see that you have perfected your Qi and have become one with the world. You have already reached the state of understanding the Dao. What you lack is just the key sword to break through the Qi acupoints."
"As the saying goes, there is no creation without destruction. Fellow Daoist Liu, your cultivation is becoming more and more profound. If you don't strike with that sword one day, it will be more difficult for you to advance in the future."
"It's like a chicken in a shell. If you don't have the courage to peck at it, not only will you not be able to be reborn, you may even suffocate to death."
"As for the price of striking with that sword, are we sword cultivators afraid of suffering some blood and flesh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu's Qi suddenly underwent incredible changes.
The sharp sword intent unique to sword cultivators surged out without any concealment.
Without this change, Li Yu's words would have seemed very awkward.
But he happened to have the heart to refine the sword, and even condensed the sword intent.
And the "suggestions" given by Li Yu really perfectly described the dilemma that Liu Tu was facing at the time.
Of course, it's nonsense to some extent.
Wouldn’t Liu Tu himself not know this?
When it comes to sword cultivation, Li Yu can be said to be a jack of all trades in front of him.
But it is not without effect.
These words actually served as a provocation, helping Liu Tu make up his mind.
So he felt even worse!
Is this considered a favor?
It would be reasonable if Liu Tu didn't admit it.
If it were Li Yu, he would not recognize it.
Unfortunately, Liu Tu's temperament is different. A gentleman can be deceived by his tactics, and a heroic swordsman can also be deceived by his thin-skinnedness.
"It's done!"
Li Yu looked at Liu Tu, whose expression kept changing, and smiled in his heart.
……
Not long after, Li Yu went to the next God's Chosen carriage.
At this time, there was a palm-length bronze sword in his hand, and under the hilt were two small characters in ancient seal script: Jingzhe.
The small sword itself is a low-level rare weapon, which can be enlarged into a sharp sword and comes with a "Qingzhe Sword Technique".
It was the training set that Liu Tu obtained when he first joined the Demon-Slaying Sect.
Very ordinary, and not very powerful.
When Liu Tu was thrown to Li Yu, he naturally intended to deal with him.
Unfortunately, this unruly and powerful swordsman had no idea that Li Yu’s real intention was not to satisfy his craving for swordsmanship, but to steal his secret technique.
But it’s not Liu Tu’s fault!
Who could have imagined such a thing?
Everyone knows that the followers of the God of a Thousand Faces can transform into many different forms.
But "stealing the law" is a matter of another level.
The Taoist medicine sequence in the Spiritual Master Path possesses this ability, and it is also a secret that outsiders do not know.
What's more, since this path has lost its true god and has been weakened for hundreds of years, its presence is not strong and it has been completely replaced by similar evil gods such as Wanbian and Foolish God.
"This sword is in my hand!"
"When we enter the strange domain, I can directly set up an altar and disguise myself as Liu Tu to pray to the so-called [Demon Lord with Untied Hair], asking for combat power or something. I will surely succeed."
"The Demon Lord with Untied Hair, um, that is, the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord, a powerful True God, should not have the habit of keeping accounts. Afterwards, there was no sound and no one knew about it. It was simply perfect."
These joyful thoughts flashed through Li Yu's mind, and then he knocked on the door of the next lucky person's carriage.
This time, it was the turn of the "loving father God's choice", the good doctor Hu Buku.
Li Yu originally thought that it would take some effort to deceive.
But what was unexpected was that the good doctor was extremely hospitable and very easy to deceive.
"Friend Hu, I also respect the great and selfless [Father]."
After Li Yu uttered this sentence.
Hu Buku not only warmly invited Li Yu into the house, but also served him his treasured green fly tea, maggot rice and other delicacies.
You will suffer the consequences of your own actions.
Li Yu suppressed his discomfort and toured the horrible sight of the Good Doctor's residence, which looked like a filthy, rotten, and half-purgatory. He then declined the suggestion of having a meal together, forced a gentle smile, and quickly fled from that section of the carriage.
Of course, before leaving, Li Yu used his magical powers to transform into the "Mi Ren" Qi.
He also made a request, asking Hu Buku to give him a spare bird-beak mask, and it would be best if it could come with some filthy and poisonous things blessed by a kind father.
Without any surprise, Hu Buku agreed.
He further extended the invitation: "If fellow Taoists want to change paths, you can come directly to me. The great and kind father is not afraid of any gods. As long as you are willing to join the religion, you are all brothers and sisters, and all costs will be borne by the kind father."
Li Yu took the benefit, declined the invitation, and floated away. "This evil god, my father, is quite special."
"It is indeed extremely cruel and terrifying, possessing the power to pollute and poison all living things, even the gods."
“But at the same time, it’s quite generous.”
"As long as the prayers of his followers are reasonable, he will almost always respond to them."
“So the followers of the loving father are also very keen to spread his gospel, hoping to develop more like-minded people, and wishing that all living beings can enjoy freedom under the loving father’s lap.”
"The only pity is that I can't stand every sequence of this path."
……
While muttering, Li Yu reached out and knocked on the door of the carriage where the next lucky person was.
This time, it is the Hanged King’s divine choice, Gongsun Qi.
In the true sense, he is the number one hanged man in Wanfu City.
He is keen on hanging all the "living beings" he likes and regards them as a gift to the great true god, the Hanged King. As another chosen one of the gods, Li Yu is naturally a top-notch tribute.
Therefore, when Li Yu arrived at the door, he chose a less polite attitude and was very disrespectful to the Hanged King in his words, which really aroused the other party's anger.
After some testing!
Li Yu was hoisted directly above the ancient god camp by Gongsun Qi's filthy and terrifying void rope.
But Li Yu soon escaped.
While escaping, he also used the "Dan Fire" to forcibly erase the mind and will on the empty rope, and took the rope away with him.
From Gongsun Qi's perspective, it was Li Yu, the ever-changing God's chosen one, who barely struggled to stay alive and escaped.
As for that rare hanging rope in the void, as the chosen one of the Hanged King, he can summon out thousands or even tens of thousands of them with just a thought.
Although he won against the God of Change!
But Gongsun Qi's mood remained unchanged.
I wonder if he would be upset when he finds out that Li Yu stole the hanged monk and used it to pretend to be him, Gongsun Qi, to deceive the "Hanged King for blessings" and other benefits.
……
Li Yu had used up half of the twelve hours of preparation in a flash.
His plan to steal the "Token of the Chosen One" did not go smoothly.
The ones he succeeded in defeating were Liu Tu, Hu Buku and Gongsun Qi.
This means that after Li Yu enters the strange domain, he can directly impersonate these three people.
But there are also many failures.
For example, Li Yu tried his best to deceive Xu Xuan, who believed in and followed the evil god "Alien Lord" from outer space. He was also willing to take the risk of stealing. However, there were too few things in the other party's residence that could be judged as tokens of trust.
The most common type is not easy for Li Yu to steal.
It's a child!
That’s right, in just a few days, Xu Xuan had turned the residence allocated to him in the City Lord’s Mansion into an incredible and horrifying alien nest.
There are some "non-human creatures" inside, all of them are female.
They all have relationships with Xu Xuan, and are pregnant with newborns with Xu Xuan's blood.
With Li Yu's stealing skills, it is not impossible for him to steal one.
After all, many non-human creatures are indeed very fertile and can easily give birth to large broods of babies.
If I steal one, I don't think I'll be discovered.
Even if Li Yu was willing to shamelessly ask Xu Xuan to give away a child, he might succeed, because Xu Xuan also failed to pass his affinity assessment.
But Li Yu was unable to handle the subsequent troubles.
For example, how to contaminate Xu Xuan's child and make the Demon Star Order think that it is something belonging to his Spiritual Master path, so as to pass the judgment and bring it into the Strange Domain?
Moreover, the cost-effectiveness of pretending to be Xu Xuan is really not high.
Li Yu chose to give up without hesitation.
However, what he didn't expect was that the "Chosen One of Black Maitreya" Wuxin the Mage and the "Chosen One of Ming God" Ruan Shuntian also failed one after another.
It’s not that Li Yu’s tricks of deception and stealing are not good enough.
But his reputation as the Ever-changing Chosen One was not good, and the two men were afraid of being plotted against, so they were extremely vigilant and did not even open the door for him.
There is no doubt that this choice is the right one. Since they have not met, there is naturally no need to go through the affinity judgment that Li Yu shamelessly threw at them.
It would be useless for Li Yu to be eloquent if he was not bewitched by the Taoist medicine's strange energy.
"The hearts of villains are all the hearts of villains."
"I have always plotted against my mortal enemies. How could you, a colleague and friend, fall for my scheme?"
While muttering to himself, Li Yu appeared in front of the door of the second-to-last carriage.
The nameplate above is a special mark with the words "Yang Huan" engraved on it.
That's right!
Li Yu did not intend to let go of even the female cultivators as his target of stealing the magic.
His reason was very simple and crude.
The Eternal Mother is a powerful evil god that came from outer space. It is rumored that she is a terrifying true god that is no weaker than the "Earth Mother".
If one could steal the power of a true God's chosen one, how could one give it up just because of the difference between a man and a woman?
With this idea in mind, Li Yu knocked on Yang Huan's door.
Li Yu originally thought that he would have to talk a lot before he could get in, and he was even prepared to fail like the previous ones.
But what surprised him greatly was!
Yang Huan's door opened as soon as he knocked.
And in the next moment, a terrifying and alien scene appeared inside the door:
There were balls of dark mist rolling and festering inside, and these mists were constantly gathering together as they surged, transforming into some strange organs, such as sticky tentacles of flesh and blood, mouths dripping with saliva, dark sheep's hooves, and some indescribable things.
These unimaginable horrors did not bring any terror at all when they surged.
Instead, it releases extreme temptation and pleasure.
In addition, within this nest, there is a tremendous vitality that makes Li Yu extremely shocked, as if it has no end.
Li Yu once felt the immortal vitality of the "Whirlpool God".
But in comparison, it is obviously not as good as this [Eternal Mother].
Just as Li Yu was pondering whether there was "life" in the divinity held by the Eternal Mother, besides reproduction and fertility.
Inside, the faint and moving voice that clearly belonged to Yang Huan turned into words of invitation and entered Li Yu's ears.
"Daoyou, come in quickly, come in quickly."
"Daoyou, come in quickly, come in quickly."
There are even some hints hidden in these calls.
As long as Li Yu entered, no matter what he asked for, he would be granted.
Who would have thought?
Yang Huan's enthusiasm in welcoming Li Yu, the unexpected guest, was even greater than that of the good doctor Hu Buku.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to resist the temptation here and would just go in directly.
But Li Yu?
He frowned at this moment, looked at her fiercely for a few times, then suddenly smiled and refused:
"Fellow Daoist Yang Huan looks unwell today. In that case, I will take my leave first."
"Come back another day, another day."
After saying this, Li Yu turned around and left without waiting for Yang Huan's reply.
