"Sell Zhao Changsheng?"
Li Yan's heart tightened, "You really dare to say that."
Zhao Qingxu chuckled softly, "It was your misunderstanding at first. How could soone from Jianmu be foolish enough to sell their life for others? It's just driven by interests. If needed, Zhao Changsheng would betray his people faster than anyone."
"That's true."
Li Yan glanced at the Demon-possessed Night Patrol Deity around him, sneering, "Do you truly believe Zhao Changsheng can open the Daluo Dharma Realm's passage and help you ascend to godhood? I think he just wants to release these Demon Gods and cause chaos in the Human World, doesn't he?"
These words were essentially probing.
Kong Shangzhao had already translated the "Seeking Immortality" chapter. According to Xu Fu's concept, a Great Ascension Formation must be arranged at nine Dragon Vein nodes such as Mount Tai, Yishan, Zifu, Langya, Huaiji, using Nine Tripods to reconnect the Daluo Dharma Realm with the Human World.
The na Jianmu also derives from this.
The Emperor yearned for its mysterious powers back then but ultimately failed. The Nine Tripods fell into Dragon Veins nurturing for thousands of years, becoming supre Divine Artifacts. The formation now might not be effective, but Zhao Changsheng's insistence on seizing the Nine Tripods is certainly not ordinary.
"Heh..." Zhao Qingxu smiled faintly, "You know one thing but not the other. Zhao Changsheng's actions are secretive, never showing the complete picture to anyone. I know so internal details which are truly shocking."
"Want to listen? Pay the price, and negotiations are possible."
Li Yan squinted his eyes, "What price?"
"Simple."
Zhao Qingxu smiled, "Kill soone for ."
"Who?"
"The Director of the Qintian Bureau, Bai Chenshan!"
Li Yan was stunned, "Why kill him?"
He had t Bai Chenshan, a prominent Earth Master of the Divine State, in charge of reforming calendars.
What grudge does Jianmu have?
Zhao Qingxu shook his head, "Just a deal, no need to ask much."
Li Yan sneered, "Do you think I'll believe it?"
Zhao Qingxu shook the fan, and the "money" character on it was exceptionally eye-catching, "No worries, you can consider it."
Li Yan didn't speak but looked around.
Four shadows floated up and down, with Soul-hooking Chains twisting like snakes.
He had dealt with many escaped Demonic Qi, these entities are Demon God's souls, fierce and cunning, usually controlling believers in all handled events, preparing for their escape.
Yet here, they remained silent, akin to Zhao Qingxu's subordinates.
Demonic Qi is hard to handle, Undying apart from sealing there is no other choice.
One is manageable, but dealing with four at once, he stood no chance, not to ntion the enigmatic Zhao Qingxu.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Seeing his current state, Zhao Qingxu feigned forgetfulness, waving his hand.
Swish!
The Night Patrol Deities afflicted by Demonic Qi imdiately cleared the path.
This was blatant intimidation!
Li Yan remained expressionless, quickly stepping out of the encirclent.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned and asked, "I have another question. When Zhao Changsheng returned from the Northern Border, was soone in the Capital his internal accomplice, who tampered with the awards plaques of ritorious veterans? Was it you who did it?"
Zhao Qingxu was rather straightforward, "Yes, I was the one who brokered."
Li Yan's gaze turned icy, "They were just ordinary people, using the Three Talents Demon Suppression Coin is too high a price, isn't it?"
Zhao Qingxu looked up, from behind an empty and stark white mask ca playful words,
"When you hunt, you seek pleasure, do you care about the arrowhead?"
"Excellent!"
Li Yan's lips curved slightly, revealing cold white teeth, "Almost let you get away with it!"
Saying this, he glanced around, "Knowing this, you know I won't let it rest easily. You've deceived for half a day to make leave."
"You don't dare to act, what are you wary of..."
Before finishing his words, he took out the Hook Paper from his arms and began chanting:
"Tian Youji, earth has laws, Yin Bureau captures souls, living people evade!"
"You're courting death!"
Opposite Zhao Qingxu, his voice turned icy cold, with an added touch of frustration.
"I'll handle him, you act first!"
With that, he activated the mantra, and a sheet of "Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree" soared into the sky.
In this secret realm Grotto Heaven, the power of the treasure rolls beca evident.
Amidst the treasure decree, Yin Wind grew long, transforming into a few zhang of Yellow Silk, inscribed with: "Sincere heart returns to the commandnt, Qingling Cave, Beidou Palace, division of forty-two combinations, along with ninety million followers, overseeing the Three Realms, ten directions, nine lands, mastering Five Peaks and Eight Extres in four dinsions..."
Each word was as big as a bucket, radiating golden light.
Li Yan had successfully summoned Yin Bureau Soldiers, yet the Yin Sha Black Fog erging from the void was forcibly pushed back.
Anticipating this, he didn't hesitate to activate the mantra, the Soul-hooking Thunder Rope howled as it erged.
"Hmph!"
Opposite Zhao Qingxu also prepared, once more employing a mantra, waving his paper fan left and right.
The item turned out to be a Daluo Magical Artifact.
As he chanted and cast spells, the large "money" character on the paper fan emitted a crimson glow.
Swish~
Nurous paper fragnts flew out like snowfall.
Upon closer inspection, they were all silver note illusions.
With extraordinary eyesight, Li Yan noticed.
These resembled silver notes, but were sowhat different, with house and character patterns, inscribed with "Yizhou Jiaozi Office," "Mariti Trade Office," and other writings.
Great Song "Jiaozi"?
Why not silver notes?
Could their origin be linked...
Li Yan's mind was puzzled, but he couldn't spare ti for further thought.
The "Jiaozi" thrown by Zhao Qingxu rolled and assembled midair, then yin energy surged, manifesting figures, either sinister-faced, or big-headed with small bodies, or covered in hair, with blood-red eyes.
Fierce ghosts, big-headed ghosts, foul-furred ghosts...
All ntioned in the "Youxuan Records" as Evil Ghosts.
These Evil Ghosts, adorned with Jiaozi affixed to their front and back, were controlled like puppets, lunging at him.
Truly, money makes ghosts dance.
Simultaneously, Li Yan was enveloped by his Soul-hooking Thunder Rope.
With thunderous flashes and crackles, he transford into a thunder and lightning Divine.
