Chapter 523: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
"Hey, Senior Brother Wang Lu, why are you back......
In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, there were already more than seventy Spirit Sword disciples who were meditating cross-legged and exercising - many more people had come to the Fuquan base in the past three days. The Fuquan base is open to everyone, but anyone who comes in must be bound by the magic circle in the Dragon Palace Hall, even Ouyang Shang is no exception. At the same time, Wang Lu was isolated, and according to the agreement, he was not restricted by the magic circle, but he could not enter the main hall at will, if he violated the ...... Theoretically, it can be regarded as an enemy, and Ouyang Shang will launch a formation in the Fuquan Dragon Palace to suppress or even kill him.
This is considered a kind of insurance measure, Wang Lu is alone outside the palace, for the people in the palace, he is equivalent to a huge source of risk, because he is the first to bear the brunt of the demon invasion, and at the same time, the right to move freely makes him once he falls, the threat to the people in the palace will be too great to be greater. Considering that when there are variables, it is impossible for dozens of people in the hall to accompany him to the funeral, there is a restriction on the scope of Wang Lu's action. Of course, also considering that if the worst happens, the people in the hall must not panic, as long as Ouyang Shang is responsible for taking action to meet the enemy, and the others will only give people room to fish in troubled waters. And if even Ouyang Shang, who controls the Dragon Palace, can't suppress it, then there is no point in maintaining order, everyone will go all out and flee for their lives.
Fortunately, for three days, the worst has not happened, and the calm is unbelievable. However, after three days had passed, everyone saw Wang Lu walking into the hall with a heavy face.
Caixia, who was closest to the entrance of the main hall, thought that the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect had arrived, and turned around in surprise, but only saw Wang Lu alone. Suddenly, her heart sank, thinking of the worst possibility, and what's worse was that Senior Brother Ouyang Shang didn't seem to react yet, and was still greeting him with a pleasant face!
Senior brother, didn't you say that once Wang Lu has a problem, you will be the first to suppress him? Why are you so merciful when it comes to the end? Who the hell is this guy of unknown origin, who deserves you to make an exception for him again and again?!
Seeing the senior brother's trusting gaze, Caixia even had a trace of jealousy in her heart, but she also knew that the senior brother must have his own reasons, so she had to forcibly suppress the impatience in her heart.
"Senior Brother Wang Lu, what's the matter?"
Ouyang Shangyun was light-hearted, but in fact, he was secretly vigilant in his heart, he did trust Wang Lu, but this trust was not unlimited...... At the same time as he asked, he had actually secretly activated the arrangement in the Dragon Palace Hall, if Wang Lu really had anything abnormal, he would never tolerate it, Wang Lu's strength was too strong, and it was a suicide for his subordinates to show mercy.
However, Wang Lu ignored the entanglement in the hearts of everyone present, strode up to Ouyang Shang, and said straight to the point: "Regarding the matter of the sect coming to reinforcements within three days, how did you confirm it?" β
Ouyang Shang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and immediately stood up: "Follow me inside to talk in detail." β
At the same time, Ouyang Shang waved his hand to the junior brothers and sisters who had cast concerned eyes: "Don't be impatient, everyone. β
After returning to the bedroom, Ouyang Shang asked, "Do you suspect that the letter is fake, and the sect reinforcements will not come?" I had confirmed the authenticity of the letter, whether it was the paper of the letter, the way in which it was written, or the fairy mark left on the letter. β
Ouyang Shang said, and even directly took out the letter and reconfirmed the authenticity on the spot.
Wang Lu said: "Of course there will be no mistake, if you can't even do this little detail, then even Yang Feicaixia can't be fooled, how can you hide it from our eyes?" But this confirmation itself has a huge loophole β are you sure that what you see with your eyes is true? β
"Oh?"
"I've just figured this out...... Senior brother, when we were in the Devil Crying Forest a few days ago, did you and I distinguish the authenticity of Li Xi? β
ββ¦β¦ Are you saying that the other party's camouflage skills can be applied to letters, and they are beyond our ability to discern them? β
"I don't have evidence for this inference, but I don't really need it. Because there is a stronger proof of this: although I have not been in contact with the Spirit Sword Elders of this era, I want to come to a group of people who can design a management trainee program, and they are not conservative people in any way, right? β
Ouyang Shang said, "Yes, this generation of elders can be said to be the most radical group of the Spirit Sword Sect in the past thousand years. β
"So when they received the letter asking for help, the first thing they should do should be to send one or two powerful elders to rush to Fuquan to save people at any cost in the first place, instead of integrating the team and asking us to wait here for three days! According to the real historical line, the elders of the Spirit Sword Sect were all wiped out, but some of the disciples survived, and the Spirit Sword Elders put the safety of the golden generation more seriously than themselves, and at this time, they would never care if the rash rescue would put them in danger. β
"That's right." Ouyang Shang's face also became gloomy, "At least Elder Sword can't let us fend for ourselves in such a dangerous place for three days. In fact, I also took this into account before, so I didn't rush to show it to the sect, otherwise if I provoked the Sword Elder over, it would probably directly detonate the Black Tide...... But in any case, the core of the management trainee program is that the overall risk is controllable, and the appearance of the demon clan has undoubtedly broken this. β
Speaking of which, Ouyang Shang's views are completely consistent with Wang Lu's.
"It seems that it was a trick......," Ouyang Shang said, "and wasted three precious days in vain." β
Wang Lu said: "Three days is not fatal, what is fatal is that we mistakenly thought that reinforcements were coming, and gathered most of the junior brothers and sisters in the Wild Land here...... It's a great opportunity to give people a chance to catch it all. β
"What do you think your opponent will do next? Or is it to stir up civil strife by means of possession and seizure? β
Wang Lu said hatefully: "Possess the body and take away? I'm afraid this is our biggest mistake, I just want to understand now, the other party's possession technique is not so effective, there must be great restrictions when using it, the other party is playing tricks, deceiving us to tie our hands and feet. Imagine if the demon clan really had such sharp means, and did not face it in advance, it was never used in the two immortal and demon wars, and it was never recorded in the annals of history. Just by our journey, there are countless opportunities for him to start, so why not? And if you think about it carefully, he shot three times before and after, the first time was to accuse Wang Donghua and booby-trap Shen Yiwen, the second time was to accuse Li Xi of poisoning, and the third time was to accuse Liu Xian of Wang Wu. These three times, one time is shorter than the first time, and the effect is poor. I don't think it's just a coincidence. β
Ouyang Shang said: "...... The opponent's technique is very skillful, and he disrupts our position with the least amount of effort. However, according to what you said, taking away the possession is not enough to use it as his killing move, and the effect will only be worse after we see through it. What do you think he will do next? β
"I don't know." Wang Lu said calmly, "I have never been able to guess the opponent's thinking, from the perspective of behavior, there are many contradictions, but I can't really treat the opponent as a brainless person...... Very troublesome. β
Ouyang Shang said: "Don't worry, sort out your current problems, let's think about it together." β
"The first question, what exactly is the purpose of the enemy? Theoretically, the only person the demons really need to kill is me, as long as they kill me, they can completely detonate the Black Tide. But now they seem to have shifted their target to other people, and if they hate the house and Wu, it is inevitable to put the cart before the horse. β
Ouyang Shang pondered for a long time and said, "Maybe the importance of the Black Tide to the Demon Clan has declined?" The Demon King himself gave up his plan to detonate the full form of the Kuroshio? β
"It doesn't make sense, he used the Dream Building Technique to create the Black Tide, one of the most important purposes is to kill Fenrir, and the unfinished form of the Black Tide may be able to defeat her, but it can't kill her, as long as Fenrir does not die, the blockade of the Nine Hells will be unbreakable. He is squandering his power for nothing. β
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure you have to kill Fenrir to free the Nine Hells? β
Wang Lu said: "The so-called Nine Hells is actually the independent space in Fenrir's body, in the mythology of Xiyi, this world-destroying demon wolf can devour heaven and earth, relying on the innate independent space. This space is naturally highly condensed, and it is rumored that even the gods will not be able to come out after they are swallowed, and I don't think that the demon king can be stronger than the Xiyi gods. β
"But do you remember that in the dream of the demon spirit, he personally opened a window, allowing us to see the phenomenon of demon atavism in the desert tribe? If the Nine Hells are really completely isolated from the outside world...... How did he infiltrate his power into the outside world? In other words, his body is trapped in the Nine Hells, why is there still a demon dream in the outside world that is connected to his soul? β
Wang Lu said: "Dream building is indeed a practice beyond common sense, according to my understanding of it, it is indeed a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ on the storage zΓ i to break the effect of the space blockade, but only part of the soul can transcend the blockade......"
"So, maybe it's his remnant who is haunting us now?"
ββ¦β¦ Is this necessary? Tearing your soul apart, leaving your body and most of your soul in the Nine Hells is completely self-defeating. β
"But it's also the most sensible thing to do. The Kuroshio is banned by you, and there is no strength left to kill you in a short period of time. Then giving up the irretrievable part is the most correct choice. β
"Are you sure he has no other means? Does he have no other men to use in the Savages? β
"I can't be completely sure, but if he really has another subordinate, there's no reason why he can't stay dormant for two thousand years, at least it can be used to strengthen the scale of the Demon Dream, right? And I learned about it during that time in the desert oasis. Those demons never knew that there were still their allies in the Savage Land, and if he had other subordinates, at least I didn't agree. β
Wang Lu smiled: "It's rare that you and I have slight differences of opinion, but this time I will listen to you...... In short, according to the reasoning just now, we can guess that the Demon King has escaped from the Nine Hells at an extremely heavy cost. But there is still one question that remains unsolved: he finally escaped free, so why should he cling to us little characters? Wouldn't it be better to recuperate in a wild place and make a comeback after thousands of years? He has waited for two thousand years, can't he wait another few hundred years? β
Ouyang Shang's eyes flickered slightly: "I guess...... He probably couldn't wait. β
