Chapter 405: Affirmation and Negation
Danxia Sect is one of the five major sects of Yunzhong Daoism. Although it is weak now, it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has countless disciples. In such a sect, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo are also cultivators of Killing Dan. Logically speaking, their vision will not be narrow. Since they know that this is a corpse soul technique, they should know some ways to deal with it.
Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo looked at each other and lowered their heads to ponder.
"Senior Brother," after a while, Qiu Chengruo spoke with some hesitation, "Isn't this City Lord Mei not unaware of our identity, why did he trick us into it? Not only us, among those demon cultivators, there are also three masters of the Killing Dan in the Demon Realm. How could he, a small City Lord Xingluo, afford to offend?"
Yong Ruyu pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is indeed suspicious, but we did find the Magic Crystal. It is certain that Lord Mei has bad intentions."
"But……"
"Since something has been put in front of us, it is meaningless to deny it. We can only say that there must be conditions for us to ignore this matter." Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo said that, and turned to Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang. "Two fellow Taoists, my junior sister is right. According to common sense, Xingluo City is just a small demonic realm of Beilin Kingdom. Even if he is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he cannot afford to offend the forces behind us."
"So, this City Lord Mei will definitely get great benefits when doing this, so great that he can ignore these forces or give up Xingluo City." Mo Tiange frowned and continued.
"No," said Yong Ruyu, "I thought about it for a while and felt something was wrong. Even if all of us fifteen monks of the elixir were used by him for the soul art of the corpse. It would not be of great benefit to him. After being controlled by the soul art of the corpse, although the cultivator's cultivation level did not decline, his strength would be lower than that of the original. I believe that both fellow Taoists understand this reason in their hearts."
Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang both nodded. The power of a person with independent consciousness and a puppet is of course different, which is obvious.
Yong Ruyu continued: "Fifteen pill-killing pills sound terrible, but what does it matter to a Nascent Soul cultivator? The strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator is comparable to that of a pill-killing cultivator. It is no exaggeration to say that one is against a hundred. If there is no special means, even a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage will not be afraid of a group of pill-killing pills."
“That’s right.”
After receiving Mo Tiange's affirmation, Yong Ruyu continued: "The question is back again. What benefits can Lord Mei get in this matter so that he can ignore the consequences?" This time, before anyone could answer, Yong Ruyu had already answered in a deep voice: "I thought of one: he has special uses to refining so many pill-killing puppets, which can greatly increase his strength!"
After hearing this, Mo Tiange thought carefully in his heart.
Yong Ruyu's inference is not a problem. If there is no sufficient benefit, there is no need for City Lord Mei to do this. So many cultivators with elixirs cannot hide their whereabouts. There are many high-level cultivators in the clouds, and each major force must have several Nascent Soul cultivators. It is also uncommon for City Lord Mei to be afraid of the forces behind them coming to seek revenge, which means that this benefit is enough to make him stand at the ranks of top cultivators and not be afraid of late Nascent Soul cultivators!
At this point, two possibilities emerge. First, this benefit can enable him to advance to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, which is an temptation that no Nascent Soul cultivator trapped in the realm cannot resist; second, this can enable him to obtain a magic weapon of heaven or a shocking magical power, and not be afraid of these late Nascent Soul cultivators coming to seek revenge.
Thinking of this, Mo Tiange asked: "Fellow Daoist Yong, I have two inferences. Which one do you think is more likely?"
After Mo Tiange made two inferences, Yong Ruyu frowned and pondered, and after a moment, he replied: "The latter."
"Why?" Mo Tiange asked.
"Because... the Jiedan monks in Xingluo City seem to know the matter." Yong Ruyu said.
Mo Tiange was stunned and thought carefully. Even if City Lord Mei did not explain this matter to his subordinates, those monks who became elixirs would never know nothing about it, because they could also have a share in the trap. For example, Elder Liang, and those who opened the ban, these things could not be hidden from them.
Then, there are two possibilities. One is that these elixir monks are fully aware of it. Then this matter can not only bring benefits to City Lord Mei, but also to them, so that they do not need to be afraid of the forces behind these deceived cultivators. The other is that City Lord Mei did not inform them all, or used other reasons to perfunctory his subordinates, but in this way, why do these people have to do their best to help City Lord Mei? The nature of cultivators is self-interested, and even more so in the magic cultivators. They do not deny that some people will have the loyalty of the world, but definitely not all. Or, these cultivators have been controlled by City Lord Mei and cannot help themselves? This is not impossible, but judging from the style of Elder Liang, the possibility is relatively small.
While denying and affirming, the conclusion is already very obvious. Yong Ruyu's judgment is good. If he gets a magic weapon of heaven or a shocking magic power, then it is very likely that this magic weapon or magic power can protect these alchemy monks in Xingluo City, so they have all their strength to help Lord Mei City.
But another possibility cannot be completely erased. After all, people live, and they don’t know what this City Lord Mei did. Perhaps, what methods did the City Lord Mei use to force his subordinates to help him. If he obtains advanced cultivation, even those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators will not do anything to him. What does Xingluo City have to do with him? Compared to being able to advance to the late-stage Nascent Soul and become a top cultivator, what is a city lord? The entire Xingluo City is just an optional abandoned son.
Speaking of this, Yong Ruyu knocked on his head, very distressed: "But I really can't understand. How could it bring such great benefits to him by using corpse soul art to create so many phantom puppets?"
"We missed a possibility." Nie Wushang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Maybe, this magic crystal is not used to use the soul technique."
Yong Ruyu was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't he use the soul art?"
"No," Nie Wushang looked at him and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yong, can this magic crystal be used only to perform corpse soul art?"
Yong Ruyu thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, although this thing is terrible, it is also precious. I don't know what it is for. However, this thing is so famous for its use in corpse soul art. When you mention magic crystal, you will immediately think of corpse soul art."
"That's it." Nie Wushang continued, "I have some research on the magic arts below and know some skin and fur. Since this object has a unique function of absorbing essence and energy, it is definitely not just used for one evil technique, but even invent some evil techniques according to the characteristics of this object."
"No," Qiu Chengruo murmured, "Senior Brother, do you remember that rumor? The corpse soul technique was invented after discovering the magic crystal by a god through the Demon Lord of Humanity?"
"..." Yong Ruyu wiped the sweat from her face, her face pale, and said dejectedly, "This matter is becoming increasingly unimaginable. I, I am really... powerless..."
"Fellow Daoist Yong!" Mo Tiange looked at him with a sharp look, "What are you saying? Are you giving up now?"
A look of despair appeared on Yong Ruyu's face: "How can a person who can invent an evil magic with this? Is it impossible for us, a monk like the Killing Pill to fight against? It's not my will, but I can't do it."
Nie Wushen snorted coldly and looked at him coldly: "We asked you to find a way because you understand the situation in the cloud, not to let you seek death! Now everything is just speculation, and you will lose your vitality? Bring me up! Otherwise, we can kill you now so that you will not hurt your morale here!" (To be continued.
