Chapter 31: Bluffing
Xu Qi didn't answer immediately, he looked at Chu Hongsleeve, who looked a little uneasy, and asked, "Hongsleeve also thinks that this seat is going to turn against this demon emperor?"
Chu Hongsleeve nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Among the demon clans in the Northern Frontier, in terms of qualifications and popularity, the lord has this qualification. If the Lord Venerable wants to do this, although there will be some opposition from the demon clan, as long as the Lord Venerable is strong and can give those demon clans enough benefits, the momentum of opposition will not be very strong. ”
"Haha......"
Hearing Chu Hongsleeve say this, Xu Qi smiled and said, "Hongsleeve, you are very good at talking." Strong strength...... Ha, tell me, what kind of strength do you have to be considered strong?"
"This ......" Chu Hongsleeve hesitated for a moment and said: "The slave maid has never thought about this, but in the slave maid's opinion, if the lord has returned to the Xuan Realm to cultivate and wants to be the demon emperor, it is a matter between words." ”
Xu Qi also knew that Chu Hongsleeve was right, if he could have the cultivation of returning to the Xuan Realm, he would be a first-class person in the world. With strong strength as the backing, it is not difficult to be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan.
But if you really reach that realm, the name of a demon clan and demon emperor is not so important. From the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, Xu Qi already knew that the so-called Northern Frontier Demon Emperor did not have actual control over the Northern Frontier Demon Clan, and at most he was a nominal leader.
If there is really a return to the Xuan Realm, as long as you don't die and don't provoke the true immortals, then you can also get away with the world. If you become a demon emperor in the Guixuan realm, you will have to be constrained by all forces, but it will not be happy.
It is precisely because of this that even though Jiuyang Demon Venerable was the most popular among the demon clans, he never considered being a demon emperor.
Five hundred years ago, the Jiuyang Demon Venerable would not consider it, and now Xu Qi would not consider it.
"What about being a demon emperor? It's just a name. There are many demon clans in the northern Xinjiang, and the forces are mixed, if you really want to be a real demon emperor, you have to be ruthless to rectify this forest of forces, how troublesome is this?"
"If not, then even if you become a demon emperor, you will only have a name, no real power, and you will have to be subject to a lot of restrictions, what's the fun?"
"More importantly......"
Xu Qi smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Chu Hongsleeve: "The Demon Emperor is not so much the Demon Emperor, but the shield of the manipulator behind it." This shield is willing to be used, but this seat doesn't have that much effort to make a shield for others. ”
After listening to Jiuyang Demon Venerable talk about the situation within the demon clan, what kind of role is the demon emperor in the demon clan, Xu Qi thought very clearly.
The so-called Northern Xinjiang Demon Emperor is just a character such as Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Han Tianzi in the Three Kingdoms Period at the end of the Han Dynasty. Although the dignified Demon Emperor will not be reduced to that miserable state, in terms of situation, it makes no difference.
With such a mascot, Xu Qi is absolutely not interested in doing it. If he really wants to do it, Xu Qi also wants to be a demon emperor who really and completely controls the demon clan in Northern Xinjiang.
And before he has the strength to do this, Xu Qi will never have a head-on conflict with this demon emperor.
After thinking about it, Xu Qi asked, "Over there is a word from Wansheng Mountain?"
Chu Hongsleeve said: "No." After the Lord Venerable killed the Demon Emperor's envoy, there was no word from Wansheng Mountain. There was no movement at all in the Seven Flame Mountain Kong Fang, no words came, and there was no wind at all. ”
Xu Qi smiled: "It's calm...... Also, there has been a lot of discussion in the demon clan in the past few days, and almost everyone thinks that this seat is going to rebel against the demon emperor. Even if Wansheng Mountain and Kong Fang had any ideas, they would not stir up the anger of this seat at this juncture. ”
"Since that's the case...... Xu Qi stretched his waist, and then said to Chu Hongsleeve: "Write a document to apologize to the Demon Emperor for killing the Demon Emperor's envoy, find a few clever and capable people, and send this document to Wansheng Mountain and give it to the Demon Emperor." Write another document, just say that there are some mountains around Jiuyang Mountain, and they want to merge into Jiuyang Mountain, and talk to the Demon Emperor about this matter. ”
After thinking about it, Xu Qi explained again: "You can handle the specific words, but the Demon Emperor is the lord of the demon clan in Northern Xinjiang, so you should be respectful in your words." ”
"Yes, the slave wrote it down. Chu Hongsleeve received the order, and then frowned and said: "The slave is ignorant, the demon is ......."
Xu Qi smiled and said, "The Seven Flame Mountain Kong Fang has some thoughts about this seat, and has used various means to test this seat. Honza killed his cronies, which can be regarded as giving him an attitude. This seat allows you to pass on those three things to the demon clan in the northern Xinjiang, stirring the minds of the demon clan in the northern Xinjiang, which can be regarded as a bright fist in this seat. ”
"The Demon Emperor relies on Kong Fang, Kong Fang is naturally easy to profit from it, and it is he who does not want the current situation of the Demon Clan to be changed. He has such and such thoughts about this seat, and the most important thing is that he is afraid that he does not want to return to the present world because of this seat and break the current situation in the demon clan. ”
"And now, among the demon clans in the northern Xinjiang, just seeing that this seat seems to have antipathy, there are so many demon clans who are surging in their minds, and even more demon clans have come to defect. If this seat really plays an anti-flag, it will oppose the demon emperor, and the situation of the demon clan will inevitably be turbulent. As the biggest beneficiary of the current situation, is Kong Fang ready to deal with the shock of the demon clan's situation?"
"To be able to use so many means to test this seat, and to be the biggest beneficiary of the current situation of the demon clan, Kong Fang must be a smart person. Smart people always see the situation accurately, and it is easier to deal with it. These two documents were passed on the Ten Thousand Saints Mountain, and as a wise man, Kong Fang must know what the best choice is at the moment. ”
Sighing, Xu Qi said: "Before preparing for the turmoil of the demon clan, before Kong Fang colludes with all the demon clan forces to encircle and suppress this seat in the name of the Demon Emperor, Kong Fang will not act rashly." ”
In his heart, Xu Qi didn't say another sentence: "Until Kong Fang really finds out his strength, he will not act rashly." ”
A large part of the reason why Kong Fang is not acting rashly now is because he does not know Xu Qi's strength. In the battle of Qianyang Mountain, the Jiuyang Demon Venerable killed the Jindan monk Qingyangzi, and the combat power was around Jindan; a few days later, the "Jiuyang Demon Venerable" was covered with thunder and fire, and killed Kong Yu in seconds by thunder means, and the realm of Gangsha was obviously successful.
What's more, the "Nine Yang Demon Venerable" in the body of Kong Yu's Yuan Infant cultivation had to be hit by the method of "returning to the original", but he did not suffer any damage. In the eyes of others, the "Jiuyang Demon Venerable" at least has Yuanying cultivation.
This "Jiuyang Demon Venerable" has more experience and refining experience against the enemy in the previous life, and there are even examples of defeating the opponent in the previous life. How much turmoil does a "Nine Yang Demon Venerable" have to cause and how many lives does it have to fill in before it can be completely killed?
Until these preparations are made, Kong Fang will not move.
However, if he knew that Xu Qi was only superficially cultivating to a high level, but in fact, he didn't have a cultivation realm at all...... I'm afraid that I just knew today that tomorrow the army of Seven Flame Mountain will set foot on Jiuyang Mountain.
If Xu Qi didn't show his attitude, didn't show the appeal of the name "Jiuyang Demon Venerable", and didn't show this attitude of "anti or not against my thoughts", although Kong Fang didn't dare to make a big move immediately, he would also press step by step, and gradually test Xu Qi's bottom line.
At that time, the scene was even more difficult to clean up.
Xu Qi also knew in his heart that if he made such a big battle, Kong Fang would definitely attach great importance to himself, and he would not underestimate the enemy at all, and he would have a lot of trouble in the future. But Xu Qi just wanted to use his attention to make him dare not act rashly, in exchange for time to accumulate strength for himself.
Chu Hongsleeves took the order and left, and Xu Qi's face suddenly disappeared from the appearance of the light wind and lightness, and everything was under control. He exhaled a cloudy breath and rubbed his slightly swollen temples.
In the previous life, Xu Qi was not a genius who had no last resort, and although the arrangement he made now seemed to be just random, it was planned by Xu Qi with all his brainpower since he returned to Jiuyang Mountain. On the surface, it looks easy, but the hard work can boil a few hairs white.
Although the plan is complete now, it can be regarded as surviving a crisis, but for Xu Qi, Kong Fang is not dead, and the danger will always exist. And with his current strength, Xu Qi can only do his best, push back the time when the danger comes as far as possible, and delay as much as possible until he has enough strength.
Strength, power. In the final analysis, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you still have to rely on your own strength. Otherwise, no matter how clever the plan is, it will be crushed by people with absolute strength.
Killing the Hundred Wreaths can be easily obtained, that is because the Hundred Wreaths themselves have limitations, and they can't exert their strength, which is really not a reflection of any combat power; although killing Kong Yu and his lover is a second kill, Xu Qi's consumption is also quite serious, and the thunder fire in the three tricks is almost eighty percent consumed. Although one or two days of hard work can fill up the thunder fire in the trick hole, Xu Qi does not have such a chance in actual combat.
To put it simply, although Xu Qi's Purple Fire Mixed Thunder Knife is powerful, although the Qing ** Sword Technique Seed is strong, and the sword light and blood mist on the long knife are domineering, there are only these three axes. If he confronts others, others can consume the thunder and fire in Xu Qi's body, and Xu Qi will only be left with the means of hand-to-hand combat. At that time, Mo said that the master, even if it was an opponent who could fly away from the sword light, it would be difficult for Xu Qi to win.
After that battle, although Xu Qi had filled the acupoints that had been opened in his body with thunder and fire, according to the experience of the last time, even if it was an opponent in the Ding realm, if Xu Qi could not win in the first time and fell into a war of attrition, Xu Qi would not be able to win.
With a sigh of relief, Xu Qi pulled out the long knife, his mind turned, and he came to the small world again.
After killing Kong Yu, Xu Qi realized his shortcomings. After dealing with all the affairs, the first thing he did was to go to the small world and ask the Jiuyang Demon Venerable for help. Jiuyang Demon Venerable didn't say yes or no, only said that he would give him half a month to think about it.
Now that half a month has arrived, Xu Qi also wants to see if Jiuyang Demon Venerable has found a good way in the past half a month.
In the small world, the Jiuyang Demon Venerable was turning into a fire cloud with his divine soul, floating in the air.
