Chapter 195: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"You'd better take these demonic beast spirits, or I'm going to kill them?" Zhang Ling saw Chen Yong's surprised expression and said coldly.
Chen Yong was awakened by Zhang Ling, and immediately took back the spirit of the demonic beast into the token in a panic, and then walked in front of Zhang Ling step by step.
At this time, Zhang Ling had also landed, he stared at the token in Chen Yong's hand, and asked curiously, "City Lord, where did this token of yours come from, why did it attract so many demonic beast spirits?"
"Since you are a superior skill, then Chen Yong is not a person who is untrustworthy, let me tell you, this token of mine was given to me by a strong man in Wufu Cliff, and he also ordered me to do a lot of unsightly things. β
Chen Yong now knew that Zhang Ling's realm was profound, even if he fought outside, he might not be Zhang Ling's opponent, so he was convinced to tell him the truth.
"What??, this token given to you by the people of Wufu Cliff?" Zhang Ling was shocked for a while, it seemed that there was indeed an ulterior secret in Wufu Cliff.
"Yes, it is the person from the Void Cliff, but he never appears as his true body, he always communicates with me with his spiritual sense, didn't he ask how this Void City came about? In fact, this city is his handiwork, and all the battles and battles here are his masterpieces, and even the space where the Void City leads to a strange beast mountain range. β
Chen Yong recalled everything he had experienced over the years, and whispered to Zhang Ling word by word.
After hearing this, the expression on Zhang Ling's face became even more frightened, you must know that Yang Qi had asked him what was wrong with the Alien Beast Mountain Range before, and now he was connected with this matter, was it just a coincidence?
"City Lord, do you mean that you have been blackmailed by someone and can only act according to his orders?" Zhang Ling seemed to guess Chen Yong's situation.
"You are very smart, it is true, but naturally I will not sit still, in the past hundred and ten years, I have broken through through my own efforts to the Void Realm, coupled with the power I have accumulated over the years, as long as I reach the Qi Realm, I can try to break through the prohibition of the Void Cliff and successfully escape. β
Chen Yong clenched his fists, anger churning between his fists, he seemed to have had enough of being a slave here.
"Imperial Qi Realm, is that almost to the realm of a saint? It should be difficult to cultivate, right?" Zhang Ling knew the power of the Imperial Qi Realm, but at the same time, he also knew the difficulty of cultivating the Imperial Sword Realm.
"No matter how hard it is, I have to try, I don't want to stay in this hellish place for the rest of my life. Chen Yong saw Zhang Ling's questioning, so he responded in a stubborn tone, "It's a big deal, the net will be broken, even if I die, I don't want to die in this place, here, it's really too tormenting." β
Zhang Ling noticed the resentment and helplessness in Chen Yong's expression, so he asked curiously, "I don't know how you came here, city lord?"
"Heh, how did you get here? You elders of the Wufu Cliff must have told you that all of us here are either the ones who failed to enter the Wufu Cliff and are willing to stay here to continue cultivating, or they are the demon clans who were caught here by the disciples of the Wufu Cliff, right?"
Chen Yong looked at Zhang Ling's expression and suddenly said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Ling seemed to sense that something was wrong from Chen Yong's expression.
"Hmph, since you're not afraid of getting into trouble, then I'll tell you, the people here, whether it's the human race or the demon race, are all caught by a mysterious organization of the Wufu Cliff, the reason why every time the sect is assessed, the people of the city of Wufu City try their best to enter the Wufu Cliff, not because of how eager he is to become a formal disciple of the Wufu Cliff, but because only by becoming a beginner disciple can they have a chance to escape from the Wufu Cliff, but those who try their best to succeed in becoming the disciples of the Wufu Cliff will either disappear mysteriously in the end, or become part of the mysterious organization, you say ridiculousοΌβ
Chen Yong shook his head helplessly as he spoke, as if he was pitying those miserable people.
"What, there is such a thing?" Zhang Ling couldn't believe his ears, this matter seemed to be beyond his imagination.
"The demon beasts, human races, and even alchemists in Wufu City are trying their best to escape from this place, but in front of them, there is only one way, that is, to improve their cultivation by plundering and killing each other, and then strive for the quota to enter the Wufu Cliff, you must know that everyone here lived in harmony at the beginning, but after staying for too long, everyone gradually couldn't bear it, Wufu City is now a sin city, even if I become the city lord, I can't control it, and I can't persuade them to give up entering the Wufu Cliff. β
Chen Yong sat down on the seat suddenly, with helplessness in his eyes and a sigh in his heart, the current Wufu City was beyond his control.
"But the elders of Wufu Cliff said that most of the demon beasts here are guilty of crimes, and they have also sent some disciples to suppress and manage them, how can this be?" Zhang Ling recalled the words of the elder, and he still had many questions.
"You are too naΓ―ve, I'm afraid that even those elders may not know the truth here, because in their eyes, we are equivalent to a barbarian land here, how can we come here to check it out in person? Besides, the status of that mysterious person is probably far above the elders!"
Seeing that Zhang Ling still didn't want to believe it, Chen Yong expressed his opinion.
Zhang Ling recalled the scene of returning to Wufu Cliff before, and his senior brothers and sisters were all surprised when they learned that he was coming to Wufu City, it was obvious that even these inner disciples looked down on the people in Wufu City, how could the high-ranking elders of the sect set foot here?
Thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Chen Yong said was not completely unreasonable.
"If I'm not mistaken, all the arrangements and information here were told to the elders by that mysterious person, because his status is extremely high, so the elders will not suspect it. β
Seeing that Zhang Ling had nodded slightly, Chen Yong stood up and continued.
"Everyone here is a pawn of that person, the human race here was captured by him, the alien beast broke in from the alien beast mountain range, the demon clan was also captured by their people from the human world, for hundreds of years, there are more and more people here, demon suppressors, alchemists, human monks, demon clan leaders, alien beasts and monsters are all full of them, the environment is getting more and more chaotic, but there is one thing that is more and more. β
"What is it?" Zhang Ling asked suspiciously.
"Hearts and resources. β
"The people here, if they successfully enter the Wufu Cliff, they will become a part of that mysterious organization, and become his new chess pieces, if they can't enter the Wufu Cliff, they will always stay here, and they will continue to fight and fight in order to improve the realm, and after a long time, from a group of weak people, some strong people will inevitably be born. β
"For example, some excellent alchemists and refiners, powerful demon suppressors, powerful demon clan leaders, and for example, I, Chen Yong, have successfully broken through the realm of parasitism in a hundred years, and it is for this reason that I will be favored by that powerful existence and become a pawn in his hands. β
Chen Yong looked at Zhang Ling's surprised eyes and said with a wry smile.
"Could it be that the elixirs and magic weapons that are distributed on time in the sect are all obtained from the Wufu City?" Zhang Ling was really terrified.
"It's not all, but there must be the credit of the people of the city, in fact, for that mysterious man, it is not his ultimate goal to build this place into a city of refining weapons and medicines, his ultimate goal is likely to get a large number of highly talented monks and form an organization that only belongs to him. β
"And those strange beasts that broke in from the Alien Beast Mountain Range are probably also a big banner under him. β
Chen Yong looked at the token in his hand and muttered.
"City Lord, I've always wanted to ask you, what the hell is going on with this token, why did that person give you this, and what does it do?"
Zhang Ling also began to notice the token in Chen Yong's hand, and saw that there was still a lot of demonic qi derived from the token, so he asked curiously.
"This token is called the group of demon orders, it can make the alien beasts evolve into demonic beasts, and it can also absorb the soul of the demonic beasts, become a part of the power of the token, and practice to the highest level, all the demonic beasts below the five realms have to listen to his orders, but the premise is to absorb a large number of demonic beast souls. β
Chen Yong picked up the token in his hand, recalling the past scenes of using it to suck the spirit of the demonic beast before, and felt that he was not far from the mad demon.
"This is obviously a magic skill, how could the people of the Void Cliff give you this?
"You guessed right, the ultimate goal of the person who gave me the token may be to subvert the Cliff of Innocence and become the new master of the Cliff of Innocence, with his cultivation, if I don't do what he says, it is likely that I will not be standing here talking to you at this moment. β
Chen Yong saw that Zhang Ling finally realized the terrible thing about that person, so he directly told him what he had been hiding in his heart.
"Then since he is so powerful, will he know that I am here with you at the moment?" Zhang Ling asked a very crucial question.
"I don't know about this, I may know, I may not know, but since Your Excellency dares to come here, you shouldn't be a person who is afraid of things, even a person like me is unbearable to play with him, and I am ready to break the net with him, why should you be afraid of him?"
Chen Yong saw that Zhang Ling was suspicious, so he answered him in a different way, which made Zhang Ling admire.
"The city lord is right, in the face of such a person, naturally he can't be willing to be his pawn, the city lord's determination also makes me appreciate it, as for me, as long as he stands on the opposite side of me, no matter how strong he is, I will not give in to him!"
Zhang Ling looked directly at Chen Yong's eyes and said firmly.
"You deserve to be the leader of the Kyushu big test, no wonder that person specially asked me to pay attention to you. Chen Yong saw that Zhang Ling's expression was firm, and he was not afraid of all kinds of threats in the future, so he said with a smile.
"What? That man told you to keep an eye on me? when?" Zhang Ling was surprised again.
"About three years ago! He said you were an opponent to keep an eye on, and he said that if I could play for him in the future, I should be careful if I ran into you. Chen Yong said truthfully.
After hearing this, Zhang Ling's eyes lit up, and his brows furrowed slightly, "It seems that the mysterious person has been paying attention to me, and in this case, I have to find a way to find him out." β
"I'm very grateful to the city lord for telling me this, I have one more thing I want to ask the city lord. β
"If you ask, as long as I am clear, I will tell you the truth. Chen Yong saw that Zhang Ling still had something to ask, but he was not impatient, and responded politely.
"Does the city lord know that the leader of the Great Test was driven out of the Wufu Cliff a hundred years ago?" Zhang Ling asked tentatively when he saw Chen Yong's agreement.
When Chen Yong heard Zhang Ling ask this, he frowned, "This matter, a hundred years ago, I heard from those disciples who were specially sent here, it seems to say that the leader was finally driven out of the Wufu Cliff because of collusion with demons to cultivate evil skills. β
"I also heard that the leader has cultivated to the realm of a saint, and his name seems to be Zhang Qian. β
"Zhang Qian, that's right, it seems that all this is really not a coincidence. After Zhang Ling heard the name Zhang Qian, he knew that all his previous conjectures might be part of the truth.
"Thank you city lord for telling me frankly, Zhao Yan is grateful, I still have important things, so I will leave first, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely let the truth of Wufu City be revealed to the world, and I will let you walk out of here justifiably!"
After Zhang Ling learned all the information, he thanked Chen Yong, and then disappeared into the void again.
"Let the truth come out to the world?Take us out of this city?Hehe,Although the possibility of success is slim.,But I don't know why.,I still have some expectations.,This kid seems to have a kind of charm.,Can make people unconsciously trust him.,Interesting......"
Seeing that Zhang Ling had disappeared, Chen Yong stayed in the room alone, carrying his hands behind his back, and muttered with a smile.
