Chapter 275: Zuo Cigui, the Master of Xixing
Chapter 275: Zuo Cigui, the Master of Xixing
"The initial sequence of this path requires practitioners to experience various low-level professions one after another. The nine classes are just virtual references. The more experiences one has, the stronger his ability will be. His understanding of the world's luck and destiny will also transcend any other path to becoming a god."
"The specific ability of the second sequence Ancient and Modern Puppet Master is unknown, but based on the sequence name and some secret deeds, it can be inferred that this sequence can allow practitioners to have the ability to control others, and there is no limit on the number... In other words, the practitioners of this sequence will have a very high lower limit, and may have the combat power of one person to form an army."
"What is the third sequence?"
“I don’t know yet.”
"But according to the above information, we can know that this organization, this divine entity, has an extremely strong desire for control and performance, and has a unique understanding of the [divinity of order]."
"This is in fundamental conflict with the Ancient Saints, who wish to create a chaotic but prosperous world."
"At this stage, the gods of both sides are secretly cooperating with each other, but they both regard each other as chess pieces and may plot against each other at any time."
"From this counter-evidence, we can see that the master's deeds of killing Shang Yang and provoking the Holy Nest and even the [Ancient Saint] will be recognized by the City Lord's Mansion, and they will provide shelter..."
Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but nod his head in agreement with Hongdou's words.
Then, he immediately gave his own premonition.
"So, it is very likely that the City Lord's Mansion will cover up everything for me."
"But at the same time, they might want to take action against me. At Sequence 5, my value is average, but at Sequence 4, I am fully qualified to become a Puppet."
"Showing your value...being targeted as a pawn...being manipulated and fooled...such a strong sense of déjà vu."
"Could it be that the entire Wanfu City is actually the chessboard or stage of the City Lord's Mansion? The many citizens in the city and even the members of the Gods' Li could all be chess pieces or puppets."
“Although the directions are different, the divine entity behind the City Lord’s Mansion is just as insidious and powerful as the Spiritual Lord and the Lord of Change.”
"If you seek shelter from the tiger, isn't that like seeking the skin of a tiger?"
Li Yu's words, as new variables, allowed Hongdou to enter the deductive state again.
He himself was also thinking about a way out in his mind.
Although his upgrade speed was abnormally fast, his life was temporarily safe.
But as crises kept coming one after another and becoming more and more serious, he still felt a little depressed.
Especially after witnessing the deaths of many of his old acquaintances, Li Yu had an urge to leave Wanfu City and go to a peaceful place to rest for a while.
In this world, life and death are all too unpredictable.
There seems to be an opportunity right in front of us.
Who can say that after he was promoted to the True Lord of Bait, fishing for "fish" everywhere and feeding bait to people...isn't this a kind of rest?
Li Yu's body had transformed and mutated many times, and naturally his brain had as well.
The speed of the mind's thinking is far beyond that of ordinary people.
But, he is still a living being of flesh and blood.
In terms of "calculation" and "deduction", how can it be compared with a mechanical life?
What’s more, it is a natural seed like red beans.
A breath or two passed, and he still hadn't come up with any suitable response strategy.
Hongdou spoke again:
"Owner!"
"There is indeed a big difference in strength between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 practitioners, and there is a huge difference in value."
"Fortunately, the master is not yet at Sequence 4. Even if he offers himself to us, there is a high probability that he will be taken advantage of by the people in the City Lord's Mansion and controlled as a puppet chess piece."
“But as long as you choose the right candidates in advance, you won’t be too passive.”
"Xi Xing, the leader of the Tianjiao Club star cluster where the master belongs, is a suitable candidate. His real identity is the captain of the second pioneering team of the City Lord's Mansion [Zuo Ci Kui]. Various signs show that this person is a leader among the younger generation of practitioners in the City Lord's Mansion. He should be in the sequence of 'ancient and modern puppet masters' at the moment."
"He is currently stuck in a mission dilemma and urgently needs a sufficiently powerful extraordinary army to resolve it."
"Hongdou has obtained a variety of technical inheritances in the Death Star's strange domain. Among them, the "Race Transformation Technology" and the "Alien Tyrant Production Technology" can both create a considerable number of extraordinary armies in a short period of time. The owner can use them to exchange benefits with them."
"After the deal is done, the owner will get a period of respite."
“You can take this opportunity to advance to Sequence 4!”
"Then the owner will have greater power and more options."
……
There is no doubt that Hongdou's arrangement is flawless.
Li Yu didn't see any problem, so he started to implement it immediately.
Immersed in the sea of consciousness, he did not say anything in the Tianjiao Club star cluster.
He even used his authority to set his "demon star status" to dim, which means death or disappearance.
Afterwards, he called the drama star from a distance and told him the details of the transaction without saying a word.
However, he did not give two inheritances right away, but only gave the "Alien Tyrant Production Technology" first. The racial transformation was too against the will of heaven, and Li Yu did not want to fall into the evil demon.
It's just a cover-up for him. The existing chips are heavy enough.
Sure enough, not long after, he received a reply from the group owner:
"I have learned about this!"
"It will take half an incense stick of time."
It was said to be half an incense stick, but in reality only a few dozen breaths had passed.
Li Yu and Hong Dou sensed it almost at the same time, and the latter immediately turned off the phone.
A few seconds later, the doorbell of the Immortal Fortress rang.
After the little robot ran over to open the door, the first outsider Li Yu had met since he moved into the fortress appeared.
A person that Li Yu has been curious about for a long time.
The leader of the Tianjiao Club star cluster, a genius who became famous ten years earlier than Li Yu, and also a practitioner of the mysterious path in the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, he is also the Lord of Xixing.
"Lord of the Star of Misfortune, Brother Li Yu."
"Although I had expected that Shang Yang would die in your hands sooner or later, I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Along with these two exclamations appeared a young man who looked to be around thirty years old.
His appearance is not very handsome, but he has a certain strange charm that makes it difficult for people to look away after just one look.
The most incredible thing is his eyes.
Is that a pair?
No, it should be said double-double.
He actually has double pupils.
Two pairs of dark pupils that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen through everything.
Nothing in the world could move him anymore.
Ordinary people or some practitioners whose mental and spiritual concentration is not strong enough are simply unable to resist the other party, even if he does nothing.
He was not wearing any fancy clothes like the "colorful performer", but an extremely simple, even washed-out blue cloth shirt.
He seemed like a traveling storyteller, with a gentle smile on his face.
Li Yu, who was so powerful that he was even more succubus-like than a succubus, had to admit it at this moment.
If he didn't use the "divine power of the vortex god" in his body, he would really be no match in this regard.
Zuo Ci puppet!
When these three words appeared in Li Yu's mind, he also had some vague perception.
Li Yu's high level of inspiration, coupled with the Lingzun path's expertise in "spying on private matters" and "stealing techniques".
As for other practitioners, even if they were one or two levels higher than him, he could vaguely sense what level the other party was at, how much of a threat they posed, what methods they were good at, etc.
But now, an exception has appeared.
"It's very strong, but also very empty."
“But the rest, no.”
This result made Li Yu feel uneasy and he became more cautious.
In his mind, he immediately recalled the information about the other party that Hongdou had given before turning off the phone.
It is not very detailed, but it is enough to illustrate the power and terror of this drama star master.
"One of the external representatives of the City Lord's Mansion, temporarily acting as the captain of the Second Development Team, and also responsible for the defense and development of the entire Horror Valley."
"The person only revealed one or two fragmentary battle deeds, such as the invasion of the Red God Path Sequence Three [Chang Geng Pillar State] not long ago. Even if the Ninth Exploration Team and the other several Exploration Teams sacrificed themselves and were summoned, they could not hold out for half an hour."
"But before they fought to the death, they asked Zuo Cikui for help, which inexplicably increased their combat power and allowed them to hold on for so long."
"So, he has the ability to 'control others remotely and even enhance their combat power'?"
“Also, the fact that Zuo Cikui can become the leader of the Tianjiao Club star cluster means that he has been the best among his peers in the past ten or twenty years, and even at the overlord level. That’s why he has convinced everyone and recognized him as the leader.”
"The City Lord's Mansion has a special route!"
“Zuo Ci Kui seems to have just entered the second sequence, but his actual combat power must be far beyond sequence five, and must be above sequence four.”
"There's no other way. Just act cowardly."
"First bribe him and trick him into being my protector."
While Li Yu was observing and thinking, Zuo Ci was doing the same thing.
He was slightly surprised at first, then nodded as if he was not surprised:
"Brother, I have a special path, and I have some magical powers. Ordinary people cannot hide any secrets in front of me."
"Brother Li Yu is indeed worthy of being the [God's Choice]. Even his thoughts are obscured and protected. I can't hear a single thought."
When Li Yu heard this, he was surprised and couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, it was Li Yu!
As long as he doesn't want to reveal his thoughts, no matter who he is, Zuo Cigui, even if the true God descends, he will not be able to see through his thoughts.
However, the ordinary people mentioned by Zuo Cikui are probably very broad.
He also understood what Hongdou's intelligence meant by "almost no one among the practitioners of the same generation is willing to be the enemy of Master Xixing, and they are even unwilling to appear in front of him."
What kind of abnormal ability is this?
Moreover, it remains constant on the body.
"Sure enough, this world is not that simple. I level up very quickly, and my skills are enough to crush most of my peers, but there are still a lot of perverts waiting ahead."
"I really want to waste a bubble of truth and see this guy through and through."
What Li Yu hates most is the unknown.
Zuo Cigui stood in front of him, like a ball of fog, which directly stimulated his voyeurism.
Fortunately, Li Yu endured it.
He changed the subject directly, and at the same time, he showed an extremely genuine attitude of a passionate junior, and said with a humble attitude towards a powerful senior:
"Master, you must lend a helping hand this time and save me."
"I swear to God, I didn't kill Shang Yang at all. Instead, I almost died at his hands."
"You don't know how perverted Shang Yang, the Master of Wisdom Star, is. Let me tell you..."
"In the end, it was his own fault. He was dismembered by the Flesh and Blood Planet of the Nest Mother, and accidentally detonated the entire Despair Death Star. In the end, he summoned the [Ancient Saint's Will] at all costs...Except for me, there was also a foreign master called [Forbidden Son] who survived by chance with the protection of the True God. The rest of us died."
"It doesn't matter if Shang Yang dies completely, but I have to bear the blame."
"Hallownest and even the Old Ones might come after me. I feel wronged."
"This situation is different from when we offended King Xi before. Everyone knows that although the [Holy Nest] organization looks normal, it is actually much crazier than the [Forbidden God Cult]. It is full of lunatics who are arrogant and despise all gods except the Old Saints."
"I guess they won't give the City Lord's Mansion face either."
Li Yu quickly informed everyone of everything in the strange domain.
Of course it’s an enhanced version, nine true and one false.
Finally, don’t forget to provoke him.
At the same time, he handed over a mechanical disc carrying the "Alien Tyrant Production Technology" without any delay.
Time is tight and there is no room for delay.
Zuo Cikui naturally knew this. He took the item and looked at it, nodding his head in agreement with Li Yu's point of view.
"Brother Li has fought with Shang Yang so many times, so he really knows Holy Nest very well."
"All members of this organization do despise the gods."
"Shang Yang, he has a good status."
"Once the news of his death spreads, his master and his ancestor [the Third Saint] will definitely not let you go."
"Besides, Shang Yang is a person favored by the gods, so he will most likely alert the evil god [Ancient Saint]. Even if my City Lord Mansion is willing to protect you, we cannot always be on guard. Brother Li, you will die sooner or later..."
These words rang out.
It seems that Li Yu's tragic ending has been foreshadowed.
But Li Yu himself was not panicked at all.
He had no intention of continuing to increase the transaction items and just waited calmly.
Zuo Cikui did not see through his thoughts, but Li Yu had already guessed what he was thinking at this moment.
“The more you devalue it, the more you want it.”
"You came so quickly, you really have set your sights on me, the chosen one of the Ever-changing Gods, the Lord of the Star of Misfortune."
"Especially now that they have discovered that they cannot read my thoughts, I am afraid they are determined to turn me into a puppet chess piece."
"The better the appearance, the dirtier the heart... Although we are not from the same craftsman, we are really the same kind of people."
Sure enough, when Li Yu complained.
Zuo Cikui also felt that the groundwork had been laid, and unsurprisingly, the word "classic" appeared in his words as a turning point.
"but……!"
"It's not that there is really no way. After all, my City Lord's Mansion is the master of Wanfu City. Without some magical powers, how can we suppress the group of gods' believers including the Holy Nest?"
"Master, please tell me, I, Li Yu, was originally a member of the City Lord's Mansion."
Li Yu very appropriately provided the supporting role.
The next moment, he heard the solution, which was also the secret of the treasure.
"There is a treasure in my City Lord's Mansion called the Book of Red Dust. Almost any story written in this book will become reality in the future... or in other words, it will be the 'reality' recognized by everyone."
