Chapter 149: Preparation for the Great Escape, Reappearance of the Conspiracy, Brothers, Please Give Me a Hand ( Words)
"Ancestor, what did Lord Xu say when he summoned you?"
As soon as the Wang family's fusion ancestor returned to the clan, the Wang family's patriarch hurriedly followed, and after confirming that the shielding array was turned on, he anxiously asked through voice transmission.
The Wang family patriarch did not hesitate and casually told Xu Gu everything that happened when he met him.
"Ah?" Wang Shanfeng, the head of the Wang family, was stunned and very surprised: "That is the Disha Divine Power, why did the ancestor refuse it?"
If the target was not his own ancestor, he would probably have started cursing.
Among the various magical powers of the Earthly Demons, the Wang family only has one!
Are you old and confused? Why do you refuse?
"Humph." The Wang family ancestor snorted coldly, "Do you think he would be so kind?"
"Then the magical power is fake?" Wang Shanfeng hesitated and said with some doubt: "With his noble status, the magical power he gave should not be fake."
"It's not fake." The Wang family ancestor smiled playfully, "But, it must have been tampered with."
"Tricks?" Wang Shanfeng was even more puzzled. He was completely bewildered and couldn't figure it out. "With his noble status, why would he do anything?"
The Wang family patriarch smiled even colder and more playful, saying, "Of course he has a motive for doing something."
Wang Shanfeng touched his nose, feeling a little uneasy. He had been the patriarch of the Wang family for so many years and thought he was resourceful enough, but he was still confused.
Not only could he not understand Xu Gu's motives, he also couldn't understand why his ancestor would refuse.
He could only bite the bullet and continue to ask cautiously: "What is his motive? If he wants us to do something, can't he just say hello?
"Besides, he wants to read the fragments of our Heavenly Demon. Can we just drag it out like this? Will it make him unhappy and make him angry?"
"What if he wants to have absolute control over us?" The Wang family patriarch asked calmly.
"Then..." Wang Shanfeng actually wanted to say, that's it? Isn't this a very normal thing? However, seeing his ancestor's reaction, he quickly changed his tone and said angrily:
"Then he is really greedy! Maybe he thinks my Wang family is easy to bully, right?"
Now, he finally understood why he had been confused just now and couldn't understand why his ancestor did that.
It turns out that the two people are in different positions, which leads to different cognitions.
Although he is the head of the Wang family, there are still elders of various senior levels and this ancestor of the combined body above him.
There wasn't much autonomy.
In his opinion, if Xu Gu supports a force, he must have absolute control over it, otherwise why would he support you? Wouldn't that be like raising a tiger to cause trouble?
He didn't mind being Xu Gu's dog, as long as he could eat well. He was the equivalent of a dog in the Wang family anyway.
However, his ancestor didn't think so.
His ancestor was the controller of the Wang family and one of the controllers of Lingxiao City. Before, there was no one above him. He could do whatever he wanted and was the one who controlled the fate of others.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor who wields tyranny and oppression.
Now, I suddenly feel inferior to others and naturally I can’t adapt to it.
Not to mention being absolutely controlled by others.
The Wang family ancestor laughed and said, "Yes, he is just a young boy, but he wants to have absolute control over us. That's too unrealistic."
“But…” Wang Shanfeng finished speaking, and said with some worry: “He is not only resourceful, but also has a powerful background. If we do this…”
Before, few people doubted Xu Gu's identity, and after Zhao Jingang arrived, no one doubted it anymore.
There are two geniuses in one family, both of whom are extremely talented. They are the best among humans and have the potential to become immortals.
And being able to cultivate two such disciples, it is only natural that their sect has someone in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in charge.
Wang Shanfeng was really afraid that his ancestor would be dishonest and try to play tricks, only to mess up and then be liquidated by the forces behind Xu Gu and have his entire family massacred.
If that is the result, I might as well be Xu Gu's dog.
To be honest, for this group of demon cultivators, there is nothing wrong in being a dog for Xu Gu, who came from such a background.
“Don’t worry.” The Wang family’s ancestor looked calm and said with a proud smile, “I know my limits.
"He is indeed smart, but he is only a teenager after all. He thinks we can't see his intentions? Ridiculous.
"He must have tampered with that magical power. As long as we practice, we will be controlled by him. So, I refused.
"In addition, he also took the opportunity to borrow our Heavenly Demon Remnant for his enlightenment. As the saying goes, it is easy to borrow but hard to return. This is our lifeline. If we lend it out and they tamper with it, then we will be controlled by him.
“So, I refused.”
"Ancestor is wise." Wang Shanfeng praised him immediately after hearing this, but then he sighed:
"But the situation is stronger than us. We can't keep dragging on with this fragment of the demon."
I want to persuade my ancestors to realize the current situation and give up their fantasies.
But who knows,
"Of course there is no need to keep dragging it out." The Wang family ancestor said proudly:
“After we kill the other two families, Xu Gu will have to rely on us for a short period of time if he wants to attack other cities in the Demonic Dao ancestral land.
"By then, our voice will surely rise, and he will not bring up the matter again.
"You can surrender, but you must always seek enough benefits."
"That's right." Wang Shanfeng was a little tired after hearing this. Are the other two families so easy to kill? In this situation, wouldn't it be better to just wear the collar?
Do you really want to learn from the destroyed Qian family?
However, there is no way, because our ancestor doesn't want his fate to be controlled by others.
Wang Shanfeng showed his worry again. After thinking about it, he still wanted to persuade his ancestor to surrender as soon as possible. In his opinion, this was the best choice. He said, "However, our Wang family may not be able to defeat the other two families in a short period of time. Will Lord Xu be impatient by then?"
"My Wang family is the most powerful." The ancestor of the Wang family said even more proudly: "We have the ability to destroy both of their families."
At this point, he said to Wang Shanfeng:
"Did you do what you were asked to do?"
Wang Shanfeng nodded and said, "We are targeting the other two families by assassinating important figures, cutting off important trade routes, harassing important spirit stone mines and important spirit fields. However, we have also suffered heavy losses in the past few days."
Although everything was peaceful in Xu Gu's mansion during the past half month, things were not peaceful outside.
The three major families have already started fighting each other bloodily.
If things go wrong, if we wait a little longer, the war will start openly.
"It's good that it's done." The Wang family's ancestor smiled with relief: "I bribed the servant next to Xu Gu."
"Bai Qiusheng?" Wang Shanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, very surprised.
He was not surprised that his ancestor would bribe Bai Qiusheng, but he was surprised that Bai Qiusheng was so bold that he dared to accept a bribe as Xu Gu's servant.
"Yes." The Wang family ancestor smiled and said, "Bai Qiusheng told me. Soon Xu Gu will randomly place a backup plan in the city that can unleash the power of a mid-stage fusion.
"Whoever can pick it up at that time will be able to successfully destroy the other two families."
"What?" Wang Shanfeng was shocked. His breathing became rapid and he was very nervous.
The reason is very simple. Although the three companies now have different strengths, the gap is not that big.
Otherwise, the balance would not have been maintained for thousands of years.
However, if Xu Gu casually releases a mid-stage fusion back-up plan, it will undoubtedly break this balance.
If any one of the three combined ancestors gets this back-up plan, he will be fully capable of taking down the other two!
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shanfeng felt a chill.
There is no doubt that this is another conspiracy.
This time, the three families will be forced into a life-and-death battle, fighting hard on the battlefield, trying their best to seize this back-up plan, and then, the winner will be decided in a very short time, and in the end only one family can survive.
This is completely contrary to the strategy that the three companies had originally planned, which was to slowly erode the other two companies and eliminate the other two companies with minimal losses.
However, they had no way of resisting such an open conspiracy.
Wang Shanfeng felt terrified when he thought that Xu Gu had only been here for more than half a month and had used only two mid-fusion period tricks to destroy three of their four major families and was about to subdue another one.
Because, under normal circumstances, let alone two mid-stage fusion backup players, even if you have two late-stage fusion backup players, it is impossible to shake their rule in the slightest.
After all, with thousands of years of management by their four major families, Lingxiao City has long been impregnable and difficult for foreign enemies to penetrate.
He felt that from beginning to end, their four major families were being led by Xu Gu.
"I asked you to cut off their supply and assassinate their core members for the upcoming final battle." The Wang family's fusion ancestor said with a fiery look on his face, very greedily:
“This battle will end soon, and we must destroy the other two families as soon as possible.
"Because, the longer the night, the more dreams there are. The longer we delay, the greater the possibility that we will be schemed by Xu Gu and become his lackeys.
"So, Xu Gu will definitely not get impatient waiting. He will just feel that everything is happening too fast."
He doesn't care how many of his tribesmen will die in this battle.
As long as he is alive and gets the greatest and most benefits, even if all his descendants die, everything will be worth it.
"The ancestor is mighty." Wang Shanfeng pretended to admire and worship him.
And after a moment of silence, he finally asked his last question.
"Ancestor, did you notice at that time that someone left and then came back to take away that magical power?" Wang Shanfeng said.
The reason he asked this was because he had done this before.
Moreover, the heads of the three families had a very good understanding and all did so.
He was afraid that this magical power would become the key to turning the tide of the battle.
"Ah?" The ancestor of the Wang family was stunned on the spot, very surprised: "Will someone take it away? It would be fine if the obviously problematic magical power was not taken away, but if it was taken away, Xu Gu would ask how your cultivation was going?
"You dare to bluff him?"
In his opinion, there was no possibility that the other two old guys left and then turned back.
Because, if I take it away, I have to practice it myself. It is definitely not feasible to let the tribe members practice it and let the tribe members be my experimental subjects.
“No.” Wang Shanfeng said: “I am just afraid of this magical power. There is no problem. It is really his junior brother who comprehended it from those two fragments. If, after practicing it, the killing power increases dramatically, then wouldn’t it be…”
If it were anyone else, he definitely wouldn't believe it.
But the other party was Xu Gu's junior brother, who was in the middle stage of foundation building and killed a freak in the early stage of Nascent Soul. It was possible that his comprehension was really so incredible.
"Then you can't have it." The Wang family ancestor smiled and said, "Any magical power that you have just comprehended should not be practiced rashly. You need to find someone to test the effect.
“Not to mention, Xu Gu is such a smart person.
“A young man, in the middle stage of foundation building, only spent ten days to comprehend the magical power. Even if it is true, I am afraid there are many problems. He might go astray after practicing it for a while.
"And if we practice, we will be his test subjects."
At this point, he was already a little impatient, and said directly: "In short, there is absolutely no problem with my decision. I know those two old guys better than you!
"Next, what we need to do is to concentrate on preparing for the battle. As long as we win this battle, we will truly unify Lingxiao City and look down upon the ancestral land of the Demonic Path.
“Ancestor, I will also break through the bottleneck and reach a higher realm!
"The most important thing is that after this, Xu Gu will have to rely on us for a long time. During this period, we can bargain and seek more rights and autonomy!"
Wang Shanfeng understood the situation and said nothing more.
Such scenes also happened in the other two families.
In essence, it is a disagreement between the nominal rulers and the actual rulers of the three major families due to their different identities and status.
However, the heads of the three major families were unable to change the decisions of their ancestors.
For a moment, the scene became even more solemn and murderous, as the three families were preparing for the upcoming ultimate battle.
Yes, Bai Qiusheng did not just accept bribes from the Wang family's ancestor, but also from the ancestors of the three families.
They packaged what they thought was exclusive news into three parts and sold them to three companies.
This was also Xu Gu's idea.
"If you want to eliminate a force, letting them fight among themselves is the smartest way at any time." Xu Gu's mouth curled up slightly. After learning from spies that the three major families were actively preparing for war, he said calmly.
There is no special purpose in summoning these three ancestors today.
However, the ancestors of the three major families realized that the only benefit would be to eliminate the other two families as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will either be completely controlled and have their fate taken over by others, or be wiped out by the other two families.
"Demon cultivators from the three families, the battle royale I have prepared for you will begin soon."
Xu Gu's smile gradually turned cold.
The guardians of the ancestral land cannot stop him from getting anything he wants.
He wants the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Demon.
He also wants a testing ground as good as the Demonic Path Ancestral Land!
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have a headache, because he had to eliminate the three major families as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer he delayed, the greater the possibility that the guardians of the ancestral land would wake up and pay a heavy price to rebel against the three major families.
Now, he doesn't need to worry at all. Under his calculations, the three major families have become the ones that are least willing to delay time, and they are crazy about getting rid of the other two as soon as possible!
Therefore, he did not need to worry about the guardians of the ancestral land beginning to wake up and pay a heavy price to persuade these three families to rebel.
By the time they saw that the entire Lingxiao City was in turmoil and suddenly realized what was happening, the three major families had already crippled and killed themselves.
At the same time,
Bai Qiusheng knelt down as usual and said respectfully, "Sir, the task you ordered to print a thousand copies of that magical power and distribute them throughout the city has been completed.
“Here is the list of those being distributed.”
"Very good." Xu Gu nodded with praise on his face.
He stood up, walked out of his room, found Zhao Jingang and said:
"Let's go to the first scene and improve the spirit ring magic."
"One thousand copies have been distributed? So fast?" Zhao Jingang said with a little surprise.
"Yeah." Xu Gu nodded slightly.
"Senior Brother, are you going too?" Zhao Jingang was puzzled and a little hesitant.
"I also want to study some things." Xu Gu said with a smile: "I went into the Shenwu Palace and selected some treasures that might be used, but the conditions are a bit difficult to meet."
"Oh?" Zhao Jingang became interested. He had also selected a lot of treasures in the Shenwu Hall, but he was not sure which one he wanted. He asked, "Which ones are they? What are the requirements?"
"This prostitute from Mirage will take out one of her hairpins and give it to you every once in a while. After you put on the hairpin, you can conceal yourself. Even those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage will have difficulty detecting it with spiritual sense."
Xu Gu smiled and said, “However, the conditions for obtaining this are a bit difficult.
"To deceive a thousand men or times."
"Ah? So difficult?" Zhao Jingang raised his eyebrows, very surprised. In his opinion, this condition was more difficult than killing ten thousand people.
"Yes." Xu Gu nodded and thought seriously: "Logically speaking, I should have deceived everyone in Lingxiao City, but why didn't the Shenwu Palace trigger the settlement?
“Could it be that we need to expose the scam and make these people realize that they are being deceived?”
As he said, he had been cheating since he set foot here.
It's purely relying on deception that has brought us to this point.
Until now, countless people still thought that he came from a place with a Tribulation Crossing Stage in charge, and that he was powerful enough to easily influence the demonic forces in the demonic ancestral land.
Moreover, he holds a very high position in this demonic force.
He can use external objects at will to unleash power comparable to that of the middle stage of the fusion period.
"If the Shenwu Palace concedes that the group of righteous forces behind Zhao Jingang are evil forces, then just ignore what I said." Xu Gu added in his heart.
Of course this is impossible.
After all, the Shenwu Palace is a product of the righteous path.
The probability is that the scam needs to be exposed so that the deceived people can realize that they have been deceived.
"What else?" Zhao Jingang continued to ask.
This treasure can only hide itself and is of little use. It goes without saying that my senior brother has also selected other treasures.
"And this." Xu Gu continued: "Siege Dragon Cannon, a siege artifact, the condition for using it is to capture ten medium-sized fortresses. The manor in the Demonic Dao ancestral land can be regarded as a medium-sized fortress.
“Also, if you kill 100,000 demon cultivators above the foundation building stage, you can obtain the Demon Slaying Talisman, which can unleash a demon-slaying attack with power comparable to that of a late-stage fusion cultivator.
"And the mayor who kills one hundred towns in the Demonic Dao ancestral land will receive..."
When Zhao Jingang heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Xu Gu in disbelief.
Are you planning to purchase goods?
Although there is no rule in the Shenwu Hall that one person can only use one treasure, as long as the conditions are met, any number of treasures can be used.
However, because these treasures are relatively demanding, after all, they have to play a certain role in training, so most of the top geniuses can only concentrate their energy on trying to obtain a powerful treasure that they need.
And Xu Gu mentioned five treasures in just a short time!
And I have to keep talking.
"This is very difficult. Can we accomplish it?" Zhao Jingang asked worriedly.
"I'm sure I'll get it." Xu Gu patted Zhao Jingang on the shoulder and said, "Just wait and see, soon all these treasures will be in my hands."
"I believe you." Zhao Jingang nodded, trusting him very much.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not believe it, but this is Senior Brother Xu!
time flies.
As the word of the spirit ring magic spread, it was no surprise that the already chaotic Lingxiao City became even more chaotic.
"What kind of method is this?"
"After practicing, as long as you kill someone and consume all of his energy, you can directly inherit several times the other person's power? Can it be stacked infinitely?"
“This is simply divine power!”
A farmhand who was often bullied by his master, after picking up this method, tried to practice it directly without any surprises.
There is no worry at all that there might be problems with this technique.
Anyway, his life couldn't be any worse.
Might as well take a gamble.
After a night of training, the farmhand's eyes were bloodshot, and he was very excited and agitated. He said in a trembling voice:
"Is this method true?"
This is because the changes in his body were exactly the same as the changes described in the method.
"Next, let's try to kill someone."
The ancestral land of the Demonic Path is full of demon cultivators, and killing people is no burden to them.
Thinking of this, he walked a few steps quickly and returned to his residence. At this time, a good friend who lived in the same dormitory with him was getting dressed. Without any hesitation, he suddenly grabbed the short blade at his waist and stabbed out: "Brother, give me a hand."
