Chapter 227 9 Young Master
Chapter 227 Ninth Prince
Zhao Qi smiled slightly, took a step towards the cave entrance, and said calmly, "Wait a moment."
Then he took another step out of the cave, the big red cloak behind him fluttering, and the whole person was immersed in the blood mist.
Lou He looked at the dissipating cyclone outside the cave and whispered, "Can your True Lord Longwei persuade his master?"
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Since he asked us to come here, his master should have agreed."
Then the two men heard sounds outside the cave.
In fact, it is not really outside the cave. There is no specific location in the sacred mountain. Here, one step away may be thousands of miles away in the world of the living. The distance is all determined by the connection in the mind.
The three of them were together in Zhao Qi's ancient cave dojo before, and there was no one closer to each other in the sacred mountain. Therefore, even though Zhao Qi's voice was very low outside the cave, Li Wuxiang and Lou He felt as if he was whispering in their ears -
"...Master? Master?" Zhao Qi whispered, "They are all here? You heard it, right? They are all waiting for me to invite you over!"
"…Ah? No, he's pretty nice to me, right? Really!"
"... Master, I beg you. Otherwise, what can I say when I go back? If I say you will help me, where will I put my face?"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's right, it's just shit! If it weren't for Master, you and I would have become a vengeful ghost...Ah, no, he really doesn't have that intention. He's a really good person. He even helped me get revenge before! He always calls me Master! As a master, I can't ignore my disciple when he's in trouble, right? Just like Master, you didn't ignore me either!"
"...No, aren't they both named Li? One is Li Yunxin, the other is Li Wuxiang, aren't they next to each other? There are so many people with the last name Li in the world - just go and see him and you'll know, I've never met anyone who doesn't like him, he really is -"
Zhao Qi's voice suddenly stopped. After a moment, the blood mist at the cave entrance suddenly swirled again, and Zhao Qi emerged from the blood mist.
He held his head high, lifted the big red cape behind him, and smiled faintly: "My master is coming. But I have to warn you first. My master doesn't like people who are slick. Don't hide your thoughts when talking to him - he hates people who say one thing and mean another, you know?"
Li Wuxiang and Lou He nodded with stern faces: "I know. Please ask Master Longwei to bring out our Master."
Zhao Qi then stepped aside at the entrance of the cave.
The blood mist outside the cave surged and slowly condensed into a human figure. The red human figure took another step forward and fell into the cave. Then the red light converged, and color appeared, turning into a living person.
When they saw this person, Li Wuxiang and Lou He were slightly surprised. Not because of anything else, but because what they saw here should be the true appearance of the visitor, the Ninth Young Master.
His appearance is really hard to describe... It's hard to tell what words to use to describe it. It's as if, if "human beings" were really created by something and were the essence of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, then they should have this most standard and distinctive appearance.
He was wearing a large robe with scale patterns and had a cold expression on his face. He glanced at Lou He and paused for a moment on Li Wuxiang's face, then suddenly hummed, "So you are Li Wuxiang."
Li Wuxiang's skin was tense all over. He had felt the pressure from the external evil, which was so great and powerful that it was irresistible. This Ninth Young Master did not have that kind of obvious pressure, and he looked like a human being, but he always had an inescapable sense of awe in his mind.
Just like an ordinary person who does not believe in gods and even thinks that such things do not exist in the world. However, when he walks into a towering temple or palace and sees those majestic and tall statues, he still feels a natural awe in his heart. At this time, this awe is concrete and becomes a real thing, imprisoning everything in this ancient cave, so that Li Wuxiang can only say: "Yes. I am Li Wuxiang."
"You really are disgusting when you look like this." The Ninth Young Master said this coldly, and turned to look at Lou He: "Why, it's on you now, and you're willing to deal with it?"
Lou He was able to speak after a while: "My Lord... that thing... is it really the Taiyi True Spirit?"
"Does it matter? From what you said, what it does is annoying. If it is annoying, then it shouldn't be. Tell me, do you want to do it or not?"
Lou He sighed: "I want to use it as a sharp sword, but I also know that this sword will definitely devour its master. If the Lord of God can take action, then I want to make a decision early. I can also think of other ways to accomplish what I want to do."
The Ninth Young Master's expression didn't look so cold at this time: "What you said is quite good, it sounds like the truth."
He turned to look at Li Wuxiang and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What about you? That thing has already broken up with you, but you still insist on making things difficult for it? Don't you know that this is a way to death?"
"I... am not feeling well."
"uncomfortable?"
"Uncomfortable, unhappy." Li Wuxiang looked into the eyes of the Ninth Young Master. "I am not a fair and upright person. In order to survive, I can use many means. But there is one thing - it is just to survive. If someone forces me, I can do anything. But if no one forces me, I will not harm others."
"And that thing, I didn't provoke it, it hurt me, and through me hurt others - if someone did this to me for no reason, I would regard it as a great humiliation and would definitely take revenge, no matter what it is or how difficult it is to deal with."
The Ninth Young Master raised his eyebrows and said, "You have a really weird mind. What kind of background did you come from to develop such a perverse temperament? How come you never suffered any injustice when you were a child?"
"Replying to God, I was born into a secluded family and grew up in a place called Peach Blossom Spring. My place is indeed different from the outside world. Compared with the Yang world here, the people in Peach Blossom Spring do not like to be slaves or humble."
The Ninth Young Master stared at him for a while and laughed: "You three little brats are really arrogant. Okay, but it's also funny. Do you know who I was before?"
Li Wuxiang said in a deep voice: "I know that three thousand years ago you were a powerful demon king, a true dragon. Together with Donghuang Taiyi and the thirty-six ancestors, you fought against the seven Xuanjiao."
"Oh, so you want me to deal with Taiyi?" "It's because you, Lord God, accepted Zhao Qi as your disciple. Lord God, you accepted him, which shows that you... have a kind heart." Li Wuxiang said, "As for Taiyi - when I first heard about Donghuang Taiyi, I thought of the magnificent heavenly way and the protection of the people."
"He was defeated after the 3,000-year war, but there is still a lineage of swordsmen who inherited his tradition and have been guarding it till now. So I often wonder, what kind of person was Donghuang Taiyi at that time to make so many people die for him?"
"And the current Taiyi True Spirit - if it is, it must be very different from the past. There is a lot of resentment in Lingshan, and I am afraid that it is this resentment that has caused its True Spirit's temperament to change drastically. Then it is just as you said, Master Jiu, if it is annoying, then it should not be like this."
The Ninth Young Master turned to look at Zhao Qi and said, "You really speak differently to different people."
Zhao Qi quickly apologized with a smile: "This is not nonsense, it is a myth that I heard from Master Shenjun!"
The Ninth Young Master sneered, "You idiot, is this how you flatter someone? No wonder you are fooled around and believe everything you hear."
Zhao Qi shrank back and said nothing awkwardly.
The Ninth Young Master was silent for a moment, his eyes wandered over the three people for a while, and then he said, "It wouldn't be difficult for me to deal with it. But I have my own things to do, and I can't do anything in this sacred mountain. But there is a method I can teach you, you can think about it yourself."
Lou He and Li Wuxiang immediately looked at each other and said almost in unison: "God, please speak!"
"Aren't you going to cause trouble in Dajie Mountain? Do you want to invite Taiyi's true spirit to use the East Emperor Seal?" The Ninth Young Master said lazily, "Then I'll tell you how to ask. Those little guys from the Thirty-Six Sects will choose someone. This person, just like you in Zhao Kui's hands, must have a fate suitable for inviting Taiyi to possess him."
"Your life must be precious, then the true spirit will come. Your cultivation must be decent, then you won't be possessed and taken away. I took a look at what happened on Yulun Mountain. Didn't Jin Zijiu use his physical body and Yang spirit to become one, so he could use himself as a cage to trap Guiyin Zhenjun?"
"They would do the same thing on the Great Tribulation Mountain. But since a group of people are gathered in one place, the means will be safer. They will inevitably have to set up some formations to ensure that if the true spirit really takes possession of the body, it can be sent back."
"If we can't send it back, that's easy. Just destroy the cage that trapped it, and it will naturally be sent back." When the Ninth Young Master said this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. "So here comes the fun part - if this is done well and controlled, the person possessed will be almost like Jiang Jie of your Sword Sect. With the true spirit in his body, he will be the Sect Master. If it's not done well, he will just be a dead ghost."
"If you want to deal with it, here's the solution."
"I don't think it's a good idea to attack in Lingshan, because you can't catch anyone in Lingshan. My stupid disciple was a vengeful ghost who occupied an ancient cave. When he was chased, he could escape several times. What about a real spirit? As soon as he thought about it, he returned to the upper heaven and disappeared without a trace."
"But once it's possessed, it means it's trapped in the world of the living. Li Yun..." The Ninth Young Master frowned, "In theory, it means there's an 'anchor point'. By grasping this point, I can grab it and see what it is, whether it's the real Taiyi or the fake Taiyi."
"So, if it wants to possess you, it'd better have to be one of you three. We have to make it feel that there is no threat and it is easy to control." He glanced at Zhao Qi, then at Lou He and Li Wuxiang, "You two are both golden elixirs, and you have both made it to the Great Tribulation Mountain. You can support us from there. As for you, Lou He, I think you will become a bad person sooner or later. I don't trust you. As for you, Li Wuxiang, you have had a feud with it before, so it is even more inappropriate. So this matter--"
"Good disciple."
Zhao Qi looked up blankly: "Ah?"
The Ninth Young Master looked at him with a smile: "I heard from Li Wuxiang that he would ask you to be the leader of Ranshan Sect after the matter is accomplished. The leader of Ranshan Sect is good, Li Jiaotu and I have a connection. But do you want to be the leader of the seal? This is more prestigious."
Zhao Qi was stunned for a while: "I... Master... I, I am a ghost?"
The Ninth Young Master raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Qi: "Do you think I don't know what you did? You dug something out of my bones, put it on yourself, borrowed my dragon energy, and said you are the True Lord Longwei? Is there anything better than that?"
"The treasures of the thirty-six sects were all refined from the flesh of your master, me! Your friend Li Wuxiang has two of them, one is the Golden Entanglement, and the other is the Mysterious Light of the Moon. Which one is not stronger than those blood scabs? Ask him to give you one, and I will temporarily help you transform into a flesh body. At least I can let you stay in the world of the living for a few days."
"You want to show off your power, but how can you do that without taking risks? If you succeed, you will be the Sect Master! If you fail, you will be a coward, so why should you be afraid of death? A real man should take risks, right?"
Zhao Qi shrank up now, grabbing the cloak on his back with both hands, as if to wrap himself up: "Master, Master, I... I... well, before, I felt that the resentful ghosts were gnawing at the cracks between my bones, so I chased them away and thought I should get some too. I was thinking that Master, you wouldn't care about this, this, this..."
The Ninth Young Master was still smiling, but his smile turned cold, as if he remembered something: "I said I would give it to you, so you can take it. I didn't say I would give it to you, so why, do you want to cheat or rob me!?"
Zhao Qi looked like he was about to cry: "Master, I didn't cheat or rob... At most it could be considered stealing, right?"
"You can't steal!" The Ninth Young Master suddenly shouted, dense and fine scales appeared on his cheeks, and his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils, "Who allowed you to steal and cheat!?"
What he said before sounded like a human. When he said this again, Lou He and Li Wuxiang felt a chill in their bodies - he was a big demon after all, and it turned out that he was also moody!
Seeing that his scale robe was almost dancing, Li Wuxiang took a step forward and said, "Ninth Young Master, I'll take care of this."
The Ninth Young Master suddenly turned his head and stared at him: "You?"
"I was the one who proposed this. Senior Brother Lou didn't want to do it, but I tricked him into coming here. Zhao Qi wanted to help me. Since being possessed by it is dangerous, I should take care of the dangerous part."
The Ninth Young Master stared at him for a while, and the fine scales on his cheeks and the vertical pupils in his eyes slowly faded away.
Then he turned around and put his hand on Zhao Qi's head. Zhao Qi shrank his neck and almost collapsed. But the Ninth Master just gently touched his head and smiled gently: "Oh, you have a good friend. Look, my good disciple, your master has tried out a good friend for you."
After he said this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed, as if he felt that the moment was boring: "Love it as you like. Get out, get out!"
