Chapter 312: The Man Behind the Scenes
Shangguan Hao covered the small porcelain jar containing the seeds of the Heart-devouring Mantra and carefully placed it on the bookshelf behind him.
Suddenly, a burst of black smoke rushed to his face, turning into a figure, Shangguan Hao was very nervous, thinking that someone wanted to steal his Heart Eater Spell, and shouted into the air.
"Who is here, who dares to trespass into Shangguan's Mansion without permission?"
But he didn't expect that when the smoke cleared, he saw a very familiar voice. The person who came was the leader of the demon clan, and Shangguan Hao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
He said respectfully: "I don't know that the sect leader came late at night, and he missed the welcome. ”
The sect leader waved his hand, and did not look at him directly, but said condescendingly: "You're welcome, the lord is still waiting for me to go back and report the situation here, let's make a long story short." ”
"In that case, the sect leader, please take a seat."
The two sat down, and Shangguan Hao hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the sect leader, "Sect leader, I came here this time, but for that matter?" ”
He guessed that the sect leader came this time to find out how to take down the Ten Thousand Dynasty Sect, and then he had already planned this matter, and now they only needed to arrange everything, and they would be able to take down the Ten Thousand Dynasty Sect.
The sect leader glanced at Shangguan Hao and said, "But this matter, you have done a good job in this matter, and we are very satisfied, if it goes smoothly, with the help of our demon clan, it seems that you will be able to take charge of the human world soon." ”
Regarding the matter of letting Shangguan Hao take charge of the human world, of course, it was promised by the sect leader in private. In fact, he hasn't even completed his responsibilities yet, and what he says now is just to let Shangguan Hao do things for them.
But this Shangguan Hao is an old fox, he has always not seen rabbits and eagles, if he doesn't let go of his mouth and promises him, of course he won't work hard for them.
As for whether this promise can be fulfilled...... When the time comes, their demons will unify the Three Realms, and this old puppet will no longer be their help, and whether to kill or stay at that time is not a matter of his words.
When Shangguan Hao heard this, he was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you sect leader, this is what a villain should do, I will definitely do my best to get the help of the demon clan." ”
Shangguan Hao glanced at the sect leader, saw that his expression was happy, and probably knew that what he did made him praise from the Demon Venerable, so he dared to continue to ask: "Sect Master, I don't know if the sect leader promised the villain that the villain could make the villain immortal, did the Demon Venerable agree?"
Seeing that the sect leader didn't speak, Shangguan Hao laughed and continued: "It's not a secret, the villain has always felt physically tired in recent days, and the villain's life is not worth anything, so I'm afraid of delaying the sect leader's big event." ”
Speaking of this, Shangguan Hao didn't say any more, the sect leader heard the threat in Shangguan Hao's words, and sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show it, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Hao's hands.
"This is the life-sustaining pill given to you by the Demon Venerable, as long as you take this pill in a row, you can live forever in a month, there are three pills in this small bottle, as a reward for your this matter, as long as you do a good job for the Demon Sect. Immortality is not a matter of Demon Venerable's words. ”
Shangguan Hao's eyes lit up, and he took the small bottle with a slight tremor in his hands, holding it firmly in his hands, for fear of accidentally breaking the bottle.
In recent years, Shangguan Hao felt that his body was not as good as before, he found the most famous doctor in Chen Kingdom, and prescribed countless expensive medicines, but it could not stop the speed of aging of his body.
Even, some doctors asserted that his life span would not live for more than three years, which is why he was so anxious to collude with the Demon Sect, his life was gone, how could he enjoy this monstrous power and endless glory and wealth?
Seeing that Shangguan Hao was overjoyed, the sect leader sneered in his heart. It is said that what is the life-sustaining pill, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it the life-sustaining pill, he didn't mention Shangguan Hao's matter to the lord at all, and took all the credit on himself, and the lord naturally would not give any precious pills.
And the elixir he gave to Shangguan Hao can stimulate the potential of the human body and stimulate the remaining life and energy in a short time.
In other words, if you take this medicine, you may feel energetic and feel good for a short period of time. It is only a long-term use of this medicine, but it is harmful to life.
However, the sect leader didn't care, anyway, he used this old horseman's time, and it was only more than a month, as long as this old horseman could insist on taking down the Wan Dynasty Sect, then his life and death would not be within the scope of his own consideration at all.
"However, don't underestimate Wan Chaozong, I think he will definitely go to the palace to rescue the emperor." The Demon Sect Leader reminded him that he was afraid that he would ruin the entire plan if he was careless.
"Of course, of course, I have already laid a net of heaven and earth, and if Wan Chaozong dares to come, I will definitely let him go and never return." Shangguan Hao said confidently.
The sect leader looked at Shangguan Hao's confident appearance, and couldn't help but be a little worried, he had repeatedly failed in the village in the matter of sacrifice, and this could be said to be his last chance. There is no room for him to be sloppy.
"Really? But how powerful Wan Chaozong is, you have seen it too, so I don't need to say more. If you underestimate your opponent, if you mess up......"
Shangguan Hao looked at the somewhat angry sect leader, and quickly explained: "Sect master, you don't have to worry, of course I won't take it lightly, I have secretly laid traps all over the palace, and I have hidden a lot of guards, and not a single fly can fly in." ”
"Okay, in this case, if you take the world and kill the Ten Thousand Dynasty Sect, the Demon Venerable will reward you heavily, the world is yours, you are allowed to live forever, sit on the world, you can satisfy you with whatever you want, haha......" The sect leader said with satisfaction.
Seeing that the sect leader's face softened somewhat, Shangguan Hao continued: "I specially invited a hermit master to let him put a heart erosion spell in the body of that little emperor. As long as this Heart Erosion Spell completely encroaches on the little emperor's consciousness, he can be completely used by us, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be nice to have a brother kill each other. ”
Speaking of which, Shangguan Hao's ugly old face let out a strange smile, which was reflected in the flickering candlelight, making people feel furious when they looked at it.
When the sect leader heard the heart devouring spell, his face was shocked, such a long-lost ancient spell, Shangguan Hao was able to handle it, and he couldn't help but be impressed, this formation had been lost in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he didn't expect to reappear in the rivers and lakes, and the sect leader's eyes lit up in an instant.
"Also, the Emperor's people in the palace have long been imprisoned by us, and the Emperor is now isolated. Moreover, at each exit of the palace, I have set up a maze array, as long as it is night, the formation will be activated, and those who rush in will soon lose their way and will not be able to get out. ”
Shangguan Hao has made great achievements in these aspects of his design.
"Then Wan Chaozong shouldn't be stupid enough to break in during the day."
He confidently continued: "In the position of the main hall of the palace, I also put on the legendary "Psychedelic Mirror", this artifact is an artifact that I have searched all over the world to get, it is unique, no one has yet been able to get out of its illusion, no matter how strong the ability of the Ten Thousand Dynasty Sect is, it may not be able to retreat with its whole body. ”
It seems that this Shangguan Hao does have two brushes, the sect leader secretly thought in his heart, it seems that this person does not have much left, only one Danji will let the Venerable Lord abandon him, if there is another person with such ability, how can the Demon Venerable still look at him?
Thinking of this, the sect leader took out three more reminders from his arms and handed them to Shangguan Hao.
"It's ......"
Shangguan Hao looked at the small bottle that the sect leader took out, and looked puzzled.
"These three life-sustaining pills were given to you by the sect master, Lord Shangguan is so exhausted, this sect leader is very pleased, I think the Demon Venerable knows that you are doing things for the demon clan so wholeheartedly, and he will not be stingy with these three life-sustaining pills."
Shangguan Hao looked at the Life-Continuation Pill in front of him, and spoke incoherently excitedly, thinking that he was going to have endless life and monstrous power, Shangguan Hao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
"In this way, I have thanked the sect leader and the demon lord." Shangguan Hao knelt down with the pill in his hand.
The sect leader pretended to be enthusiastic and helped Shangguan Hao up.
"Lord Shangguan doesn't have to be polite, if the great cause of the Demon Venerable is successful, not to mention these few small life-sustaining pills, no matter how many benefits there are, it is also closely picked by Lord Shangguan, and the matter of the life sacrifice, Lord Shangguan must also pay attention."
Shangguan Hao hurriedly said: "Sect Master, please rest assured, my bureau has been in the East Looking Sea for two years, and now is the time to close the net, and I will definitely be able to give the Demon Venerable a satisfactory answer when the time comes." ”
Shangguan Hao is still more relieved to do things, and he laid Shangguan Hao's chess piece two years ago. This Shangguan Hao is a loyal minister on the surface, but in private he is extremely greedy, and he has been seeking the art of immortality, so it is not surprising that he can be used.
Moreover, what surprised the sect leader even more was that this Shangguan Hao did have some real skills, and the soul-attracting array and various sacrificial formations in the east sea were all arranged by Shangguan Hao.
This time, he came to Chen Kingdom to personally knock Shangguan Hao, and there was also an important task, that is, to go to the east to look at the sea, two years have already arrived, if everything goes well, it should have attracted a large number of cultivators to go treasure hunting, and when the time comes, as long as these cultivators can enter his soul attraction array, then he can sacrifice all these cultivators to the Son of Darkness.
As long as he finds the spiritual sense of the son of darkness and helps him strengthen himself, when the son of darkness breaks the seal, this will be a great help for the son of darkness, and he will be able to sell his favor in front of the lord at that time.
Thinking of this, the sect leader couldn't stay still, he told Shangguan Hao again, and hurried to the east to look at the sea.
As soon as the sect leader left, Shangguan Hao hurriedly took out a pill given to him by the sect leader and swallowed it, and he hid the remaining five pills behind the bookshelf.
It turned out that behind this bookshelf was a secret room, full of all kinds of rare treasures collected by Shangguan Hao, this secret room was only known to him, if the last thing was exposed, when he needed to run away, then this room full of treasures was his last reliance.
Shangguan Hao had just properly hidden the pills, pushed the bookshelf back to its original position, and looked at it carefully, and only then relieved himself that there was nothing unusual.
