Chapter 13 Wasted Effort
"I said, is it interesting for you to argue like this? The Nine Tribulations stand-in puppet may not be on me!" Seeing that many of the cultivation sects led by the Eight Great Sects such as the Divine Fire Sect and the Rejuvenation Valley were arguing endlessly, they already had an understanding of their true faces, and after watching the excitement, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but whisper softly, and the meaning was full of irony.
"What, the stand-in puppet is not with you?!So where is it?" Suddenly hearing Ye Qiuli say that the stand-in puppet was not on him, the people who were arguing immediately stopped, and after a little silence, they quickly broke out more violently, and asked him repeatedly, looking at their shocked and excited appearances, obviously they didn't think about the existence of this kind of thing at all.
Seeing that the cultivators of the various sects were dumbfounded, and they couldn't wait to stare out their eyes, Ye Qiuli's heart couldn't help but feel a feeling of comfort, and immediately no matter what those people thought, he still said softly with an indifferent face: "How do I know where that kind of thing is? That kind of rare top-level treasure in the world is not something that people like me can touch!"
"Hmph, you kid can't be lying to us, are you?!" Looking at Ye Qiuli's calm expression as always, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart, the cultivators of various factions who were preparing to compete for the Nine Tribulations stand-in puppet had actually believed that sentence in their hearts, but in order not to give up the last glimmer of hope, they still asked in a cold voice in disbelief.
"Is there any point in me using this reason to deceive you? I said that I don't have a stand-in puppet on me, then there must be no stand-in puppet, if you don't believe it, I can swear to prove it!" Hearing the questions of the cultivators of various sects, Ye Qiuli did not hesitate at all, and immediately responded solemnly, and then made a vicious oath in front of everyone, proving that there was indeed no stand-in puppet on his body.
"Ah, you really don't have a stand-in puppet on you?!" Seeing that Ye Qiuli swore on the spot to prove that he didn't carry a stand-in puppet on his body, the cultivators of all factions no longer had the slightest doubt, and they all believed his statement. A cultivator's oath is not like an ordinary mortal who can be issued casually, it will definitely be fulfilled, no one dares to mess around at will, once the oath proves something, then there will definitely be no objections in it.
It's just that, although they believed Ye Qiuli's words, those people still couldn't be relieved in the slightest, and after being depressed for a while, they asked again without giving up: "So, where did that thing go?"
"Hehe, the world is so big, who knows where that treasure is hidden. Anyway, I definitely don't have that kind of treasure on my body, and I don't know where I can find that kind of thing!" Seeing that he had sworn to prove that there was no substitute puppet on his body, but the cultivators around him still didn't let go, although Ye Qiuli was indeed very angry in his heart, he still pretended to chuckle meaninglessly.
"Ahh
It's no wonder that those people's reactions were so violent, not only their expressions were full of disbelief, but even their behavior was a little out of shape, but the reality was really too unexpected for them, and it really caught them off guard. Without the existence of stand-in puppets, then their previous embarrassing actions would be completely useless, and after losing face in vain, it would be meaningless.
Although on the surface, they came to Ye Qiuli for trouble under the pretext of revenge, but everyone was a wise and proficient cultivation master, who didn't know what the other party had in mind, the reason why everyone made all kinds of childish actions that could be seen through at a glance so shamelessly was not to successfully get the stand-in puppet that could help cultivators successfully survive the catastrophe, and get the key to ascending to immortal in advance!
At this time, after they had done all the things, and even arranged the use of the stand-in puppet, they were suddenly told that that thing did not exist at all, and they were completely busy in vain, except for the direct letting countless people see through their shameless faces, they would not get anything, how could they easily bear the contrast between the front and back.
"Then what's the matter with the Flowing Cloud Immortal Ring in your hand, shouldn't it have been obtained by Lu Yan, who was lucky enough to grab the substitute puppet, and why is it in your hands now?" After confirming that the substitute puppet was indeed not on Ye Qiuli's body, although the cultivators of the various factions no longer had any doubts, some people with undead hearts couldn't help but ask, wanting to know how the Flowing Cloud Immortal Ring in his hand was obtained.
After all, when the two high-level scattered immortals of Baicao Sanren and Wei Changfeng were both defeated, Lu Yan suddenly attacked and killed them, and successfully snatched the stand-in puppet, and each sect had done a very detailed investigation afterwards, and had a very in-depth understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter, and he would never be mistaken. And the stand-in puppet they envisioned was deduced from it.
Now, the Liuyun Immortal Ring suddenly appeared in front of everyone, but the Nine Tribulations stand-in puppet that was closely related to it had no trace at all, so how not to arouse the suspicion of people with a heart, and not to hurry up and dig deeper, it was really a bit abnormal.
"Hmph! How do I know what the hell is going on? Anyway, this storage magic weapon was obtained by luck from the cultivation cave of a senior master, and there are only some broken magic weapon materials stored in it, and there is no trace of a stand-in puppet at all. Seeing that the guys on the other side were still staring at him, Ye Qiuli was indeed a little impatient, and even if he didn't say anything good, he responded coldly.
"I said, since the stand-in puppet you want doesn't exist at all, is it interesting for so many people to continue to gather around here? You don't bother, I still waste time!" After pretending to be unhappy to quickly reveal the matter of the Liuyun Immortal Ring, Ye Qiuli quickly changed the topic, and once again drew everyone's attention back to the futile and ridiculous behavior of the various sects, ready to see how they solved this matter.
"Hmph, who is this news coming from, if the old man knows, it will definitely not make it look good!" Hearing Ye Qiuli's obvious sarcastic words, he had been-for-tat before, fighting for the Nine Tribulations stand-in puppet that didn't exist at all, and the cultivators of the various factions who almost missed the fire and fought looked at each other, and quickly shouted loudly pretending to be annoyed.
made such a big oolong in front of countless people, and was directly pointed out by the parties concerned, although the cultivation masters of various sects are indeed thick-skinned enough, there are still some bottom lines in the end, and they can't completely put aside the influence of all external environments and treat that thing as non-existent.
Therefore, after being silent for a while, they had to attribute all the problems to the inaccurate information, and lightly exposed their insatiable greed and lust, as if they were indeed deceived by the people below, even if they made countless shameless acts, the ultimate responsibility was not on them, and all should be borne by those inconsequential disciples.
"Okay, the rest of the matter will be handled by you, the old man will go back first!" After indifferently putting all the blame on those intelligence gatherers who didn't know whether they existed or not, the super masters of each sect greeted each other calmly again, and then quickly turned around and flew quickly in the direction they came, looking at their unhesitating movements, it was obvious that they were not ready to continue to stay in the scene.
Although he had already found an excuse that was not an excuse for his previous shameless behavior, he pulled out a tattered fig leaf and covered his body out of thin air, which didn't seem to be so shameful, but after all, those things could not be covered up by such a reason that could be seen through at a glance, and in the eyes of those cultivators with infinitely outstanding IQs, they couldn't hide it at all, no matter who they were, they all knew it!
Therefore, in order not to be embarrassed in the future, it is also a very normal thing for those people to quickly retreat after a hasty explanation. Anyway, without the existence of the Nine Tribulations Substitute Puppet, the remaining things on Ye Qiuli's body could no longer attract their attention at all, and if they continued to entangle in it, bullying the small with the big, then their faces would really be completely lost!
snatching a priceless top treasure from a child's hands, it can also be said that the child is guilty of a crime and takes the initiative to attract the attention of others, even if he is robbed, he himself will bear a large part of the responsibility. But snatching a lollipop from the same person is really unspeakable, and no matter what the circumstances, the person who robs will inevitably be spurned by everyone, with absolutely no exceptions.
Now, the situation that happened to Ye Qiuli is obviously the same, without that stand-in puppet that is of immeasurable value and can cause all the scattered immortal-level masters to fight desperately, it is just some treasures and spirit weapons-level best magic weapons, although it is indeed very attractive to look at, but its grade will be rapidly reduced countless times, and it can no longer attract those super masters to surrender their identities to snatch it with their own hands.
