Chapter 36 - Temptation by Profit
"Wang Guanlan, stop it, you can't do this, the immortal rope was given to me by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, if you dare to damage it, the Ancestor will definitely not let you go!"
"Hehe, if you can't beat the small one, you can count on the old one, so you can't have a little bit of interest?!" Wang Guanlan grinned, the appearance of the mixed yuan stone has not changed, but he can clearly feel the strangeness inside, there is no doubt that absorbing the Yuan Tuxing Yuan Qi in the bundle of immortal ropes has brought great benefits to his mixed yuan stone, and even brought benefits to him, looking at Hu Liniang's angry appearance, he feels funny, in the world in the previous life, Li Gang's son and goddaughter are quite overflowing, can you still meet a demon version here, "Look at your appearance, is it possible that the demon ancestor is your godfather?"
"How do you know?" Hu Liniang's expression changed, and Wang Guanlan said her relationship with the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, which surprised her a little. []
On the other hand, Wang Guanlan also felt a little funny, it seems that no matter what kind of world it is, it is essentially the same.
"I guess!"
"You ......" instinctively, Hu Liniang felt that Wang Guanlan's smile revealed a kind of ill will, but now is not the time to think deeply, due to the crazy absorption of the mixed yuan stone, the golden luster of the golden bundle of immortal ropes has dimmed, it is obvious that she has been seriously injured, she is also sick and rushed to the doctor, and directly reported to her home, but think about it, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor is extremely majestic in the Town Demon Tower, but this is the southern departure, who will know the prestige of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor? Using the name of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor to scare a mortal who left the country in the south is really playing the piano to the cow.
I saw that she immediately made a decision, and with a bite of her silver teeth, she bit the tip of her tongue violently, and a mouthful of essence blood sprayed onto the rope of the immortal like an arrow.
Coincidentally, it happened to be at this time. The Mixed Yuan Stone had completely absorbed the strange earth-walking vitality in the bundle of immortal ropes. Sharp loosening.
Suddenly, the bundle of fairy ropes turned into a golden light and returned to Hu Liniang's body. And Hu Liniang was being attacked by Wang Guanlan frantically at this time, and finally, after being hit with a heavy hand. Her void green smoke swept for a while, turned into a thin layer, and was about to disappear, Hu Liniang couldn't bear it anymore, let out a long whistling, her figure flashed, turned into a cyan rainbow, and disappeared into the sky, so fast. Wang Guanlan was dumbfounded, and as soon as she left, the other two big demons already knew that the general trend was gone. Almost at the same time, he made a few false moves. got out of the entanglement, and also fled as if flying in the wind. As for the little demons who were killed by the civet guard, no one paid attention to them, for them, these are just cannon fodder, no matter how many little demons die, they can also be ignited at any time, if they die, there is no chance.
"Win!!"
The three big demons retreated, and the field was quiet for a while, and after a while, the three thousand flower civet army made a thunderous whistling sound at the same time, and the cry was like a tide, transmitted to the far distance, and the bloody qi was surging all over the sky, Wang Guanlan stepped on the six-eyed golden toad giant spirit, standing in the air, feeling the bloody aura around him, and his mouth was full of a confident smile, but the four of them saw that something was wrong.
Wang Guanlan now looks like a sleeker, but the muscles on his face and hands are already shaking uncontrollably, and his complexion is whiter than usual.
"What's wrong with you?" Qing Ling came to his side, still a little uncomfortable with the djinn under his feet, after all, although the djinn was powerful, the six-eyed golden toad was not naturally treated well by women.
"A little too hard!!"
Wang Guanlan's face flashed with a wry smile, just now he seemed to be majestic, killing a big demon in one fell swoop, killing thousands of small demons, and also defeated a big demon, forcing the enemy away this time, but he also paid a lot of price. ...,
Not to mention anything else, he used the three divine powers of the Evil God's Eyes in one move this time, and almost didn't completely drain his internal qi and divine soul power, [Shenwei] and [Instant] The two divine powers are okay, they are both violent attacks, and the time is extremely short, but in order to be able to see the flaws in the bundle of immortal ropes, he continued to use the [Tongyou] Divine Eye, for his body, the burden is too heavy, although his body has been strengthened several times, compared to the monks of the Divine Power Realm, it is not weaker at all, but for [Tongyou] In terms of being too weak, in the end, he was almost exhausted, but he still held his spirit and maintained an attacking posture, if it weren't for the fact that his mixed element stone absorbed the power of the bundle immortal rope and supplied his vitality, he would have fallen from the sky long ago.
"What then?" Looking at Wang Guanlan's crumbling appearance, Qing Ling asked with concern. {}
"It's not good, go back to the camp tent first, this time, there shouldn't be any more sneak attacks!" Wang Guanlan said softly, stepping on the giant spirit and falling from the sky, handing over everything in the camp to Luo Han, and hiding in the camp tent, as soon as he entered the camp tent, he fell to the ground, unconscious, and the six-eyed golden toad giant spirit also turned into a blue light and hid in Wang Guanlan's eyebrows.
"What now?" After settling Wang Guanlan and examining it carefully, he found that he was just overexerting himself and his body was fine, Feng Jiu asked Qing Ling, Qing Ling's identity is special, not only the world of Jingling Lake, but also Wang Guanlan's wife, now that Wang Guanlan is in a coma and can't be a director, Qing Ling naturally became the person in charge.
"No matter what happens, let's wait for him to wake up!" Qing Ling sighed lightly, she did have her own thoughts, but she also understood that Feng Jiu asked her like this, it seemed that he respected his opinion, but this was just a gesture, the real decision had to be made by Wang Guanlan, once her idea was contrary to Wang Guanlan's original plan, or when Wang Guanlan woke up and rejected her opinion, it would not be good, and it would be a loss of face.
"Miss Qingling is right, anyway, this kid is not dead, it's just too hard, let's wait for a while!" Xia Dongyuan also agreed with Qingling's opinion, unconsciously, Wang Guanlan has become the center of everyone, except for him, there is really no one present who can convince the public, so everyone is silent.
And so it is three days.
By the time Wang Guanlan woke up again, it was already three days later.
At this time, the results of this battle have been spread all over the world. The nearby city was crowded with envoys who had come to pay homage to Wang Guanlan. All of them were blocked out by Qingling and others, claiming that Wang Guanlan had gained some insights in the recent battle and was in retreat.
Retreat. Or is it seriously injured and unconscious?!!
This didn't matter anymore, because no one dared to explore the seemingly undefended tent, and the world knew that Wang Guanlan was a formation master who could be compared to the Formation King Zhuge Wuzi. He is also a strong man who can kill the big demon and thousands of small demons in the Divine Realm with one sword, God knows if his retreat this time will be a trap, to teach those who have bad intentions towards him a lesson that will never be forgotten?
Besides, now except for the demon clan, none of the human race forces in the south are willing to Wang Guanlan's death, although this kid is not a thing, but the demon clan in Broken Cloud Mountain still needs him to stop it, the so-called scourge will last for a thousand years, that is, this reason.
Therefore. During these three days, there was an endless stream of people from all sides, with all kinds of thoughts. But it's just people who don't have murderous intentions.
For these messengers. Qingling came forward to receive them, and Wang Guanlan did not show up. Even if they have woken up, they declare that they are in retreat.
After sending off the last group of visitors, everyone gathered in the tent, and everyone's eyes looked at Wang Guanlan, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. ...,
It is indeed very embarrassing, think about the content that everyone gathered together to talk about, there is a big map on the ground, and all of them are excited, as if they can wipe out all the big demons in the hinterland of the Central Plains at any time, as if these big demons are lambs to be slaughtered, who knows that before the words fell, the big demons of the people came to the door, and almost completed a counterattack, during which the danger, others may not know, but now these people in the camp are clear in their hearts, and they understand how lucky it is to win this time.
Therefore, the map was not placed, and no one said anything, but they all stared at Wang Guanlan, as if waiting for him to make an idea.
Wang Guanlan was also a little embarrassed, and was silent for a long time before he spoke, his voice was still a little weak, "Wei Yifu, what do you think!"
Wei Yifu smiled, looking a little embarrassed, "Master Hou, these demon clans have obviously joined forces now, and it is impossible to break them one by one according to the plan!"
"Of course I know this!" Wang Guanlan smiled bitterly, "These demon clans are not fuel-efficient lamps, fortunately there are only three of them today, if there is one more, we will cross!!"
"This also shows that their union is not complete, in fact, we all know that if these remaining big demons are all united, we will not be able to stop it at all, except to retreat to the three southwestern states, there is no other way!!"
"If they can really succeed in uniting together, we don't need to ramble on anything here!" Qing Ling said, "The Central Plains can't stop them at all!"
"Maybe there are really contradictions between them, or even contradictions, but we can also see from this attack that if we push them into a hurry, they are not without the possibility of uniting!" Wei Yifu said, "In my opinion, the wisest way now is not to fight, but to make peace!!"
"You said to compromise with the demon clan?" Feng Jiu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"There's no need for that, just announce the news of Hou Ye's retreat!!"
"In other words, turn your head back in a gray way?" Wang Guanlan raised his eyebrows, Wei Yifu's statement made some sense, but this was not his style, and he also thought that things had not come to that point.
"There is another way, which is to use the power of the demon general Hou Ye to mobilize all forces in the hinterland of the Central Plains to act together to form a decisive battle!"
"In the final analysis, our strength is still too weak!" Wang Guanlan stared at Wei Yifu, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking, "However, everyone knows that my demon subduing general is a false name, do I still want to ask the imperial court for the power to control the world's soldiers and horses?"
"You don't need to control the power of the soldiers, you just need to use the power of the wealthy family!"
"The emperor can't give it to me!" Wang Guanlan waved his hand, "His old man hates me to the core, and he can't wait to strip my skin to his precious son to pay for his life, how can he give me such power? Besides, even if he gives me this power, he gives me this power, it is equivalent to roasting me on the fire, if I issue a conscription order, the rich family will not listen to me, and I will still be the one who is disgraced!"
"Master Hou really sees it very thoroughly!" Wei Yifu said with a wry smile.
"I don't want you to slap my ass, I want a real and effective way!"
"Tempting it to profit!" Wei Yifu said in a gloomy manner, "wealth moves people's hearts." For practitioners. The Dharma Weapon is also moving, I have heard, for practitioners. Every big demon is full of treasures, but now the big demon is too strong, which makes people scruple. It's just jealousy, if they can eliminate their jealousy, or if the benefits are so big that they can ignore this jealousy, they don't need to go out at all, they will do it themselves!"...,
Tempt it!!
Wang Guanlan touched his chin and glanced at Wei Yifu, I have to say that this guy has a bit of Taoism.
Which is the most greedy race in the world?
Mankind!!
No matter what world you're in. Human beings are all greedy, and they all remember to eat but not to fight.
The demon disaster was sudden, and the humans who left the south could be said to be stunned by this sudden event. There was no overreaction at all. Coupled with the strong strength of the demon clan, for a while. It all made everyone feel stage frightened and demoralized, so there was such a one-sided situation now.
However, now that several months have passed, although it is said that the demon disaster has spread to all parts of the southern departure, the situation has also stabilized a little, and the situation of confrontation has appeared.
The situation has stabilized, and the rest is a stalemate, but there are still many fears about the strength of the demon clan in everyone's hearts, just looking at the direction of the wind, this time, the four big demons joined forces to launch a surprise attack on Wang Guanlan, although the momentum was fierce, but it was deeply repelled by Wang Guanlan, the most important thing is that this time Wang Guanlan and others completely relied on their own strength, and did not use the formation, it can be said that some of the psychological shadows of human beings for the demon clan have been greatly eliminated, think about it, Wang Guanlan and the five of them, although they are all true grandmasters, but they are only young people of about twenty, they are peerless geniuses of this generation, but geniuses, which generation is not few, Wang Guanlan and they can all retreat from the hands of the big demon, so what about the wealthy families with much deeper background than them?
It can be said that after this battle, the courage of human beings has gradually grown.
If you add appropriate temptations, such as the fact that these big demons themselves are full of treasures, as well as those magic weapons on their bodies, they can definitely attract greed in the hearts of human beings.
When the time comes, I'm afraid there is no need to call on those big families and wealthy warriors to attack the demon clan madly!!
"So far, it's only like this!" Wang Guanlan showed a look of compassion on his face, "I just don't know how many people will die now!!"
Qing Ling on the side looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, she did not approve of Wei Yifu's proposal, because she knew very well that doing so would definitely stir the already somewhat peaceful world into a pot of porridge again, but she also understood that she couldn't stop this matter, not to mention her, even Jingling Lake wouldn't stop it, for Jingling Lake, the southern departure border was also a resource-scarce place, and what the demon clan brought out from the Demon Town Tower was enough for the four holy places to put aside the veil of tenderness and join the action of exterminating the demon clan. Fishy winds will blow across the entire southern departure.
"Add Ghost Wind Mountain first!" Wang Guanlan seemed to have made up his mind, "Let's just say that I am seriously injured and need to retreat in Ghost Wind Mountain to heal, and also, secretly release the news, that is, this time we have several superb spirit weapons and other rumors, do you know how to make it up?!"
"I know, I know!" Seeing that Wang Guanlan had made up his mind, and he didn't need to follow him anymore to charge into battle, Wei Yifu was overjoyed, "Master Hou rest assured, I promise to satisfy you!!"
"It's not to satisfy me, it's to satisfy the whole world!" Wang Guanlan's smile on his face became stronger, "In the world of the Ten Directions, our southern departure is considered a poor country, and suddenly there are so many old people wearing gold and silver, if you don't scrape a stroke, I'm sorry for my father and fellow villagers, right?!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Now that it's agreed, things are much easier.
Wang Guanlan and the three thousand civet troops immediately pulled out the camp and retreated, all the way back to the Ghost Wind Mountain, leaving a large blank area to the imperial court and the local wealthy families, and because of Hu Liniang's defeat, the nearby demon kings did not reach out to this.
The castle of Ghost Wind Mountain had been almost built when Wang Guanlan and they came back, the main body had been completed, and some of the basic things in it were also in place, and Mr. Jiufen, who was specially carved runes on the castle material by Wang Guanlan from the three states in the southwest, had also left Ghost Wind Mountain on the first day of Wang Guanlan's return. ...,
This castle in Ghost Wind Mountain is very strange, if it is really built, it can be said to be a base that integrates attack and defense, so Wang Guanlan will bring people back here, and spent a lot of effort to build this castle, he is ready to operate this place as a nest, so he will ask Mr. Jiufen to come over when he leaves, after all, according to the plan on the drawings, he wants to complete such a big project alone, it is really a laborious thing, Mr. Jiufen is a formation mage, although it is not as good as Zhuge Wuji, but according to the map, he can still be competent, and he can also get a lot of benefits from the drawings of this castle, which goes without saying.
It's just that he left early, but Wang Guanlan was a little surprised.
It seems that he still has some guilt in his heart about taking away the dominance of Taihao Yuhua Mirror, but he is also helpless, he has presided over the secret array mirror world for so many years, but he has not discovered the true use of this formation, and finally asked Wang Guanlan, a small character, to summon all the immortal phantoms, which is really a little unbearable.
But it's just something that can't be pulled.
Thinking about it, he also knew very well in his heart, even if he could understand the mysteries of the lens world, it was impossible to directly summon the immortal phantom like Wang Guanlan, and the difference in strength was there.
Although the runes on the materials for building the castle have been carved, if you want to make the formation in the castle work, you still need Wang Guanlan to do it himself.
Wang Guanlan stood in the small secret room where he had been in the castle, silently feeling the runes carved on the walls and the ground, feeling the power of this magical pattern, standing here, he could feel his spiritual consciousness extending along these lines to the outside of the castle, these runes were no longer separated from each other, no longer wrong, as if they had become his neural circuits, connecting his sea of knowledge with the entire castle, at this time, he and the castle were one, he was a part of the castle, everything in the castle was undoubtedly reflected in his sea of knowledge。
"How did you have this formation?"
Just as he was immersed in this feeling, an abrupt voice came into his ears.
His gaze froze sharply, and he turned his head to look at it with a look of surprise.
"Uncle!!"
