I am the one running the game

Chapter 477 Three years can change people’s hearts

As the spread of the Extremely Evil Human Fruit exploded, ambitious people from all over the world began to take the stage.

Originally, they had no power and were suppressed by powerful military force, so they were naturally submissive. But after they had the extremely evil results of being a human being, coupled with the five turbidities and evil times, people's hearts became so bad that it was unbearable to look at. It was normal for me not to eat beef.

It looks like a smaller version of Emperor Zhao’s curse.

Well, in the subsequent improvement of this extremely evil human fruit, Lu Xingshi did add the curse of Emperor Zhao obtained from the giant human face to form a more powerful means of dissemination.

With Xu Yi's serious injury and the retreat of Shinto forces, the extremely evil forces occupied 70% of the world.

But this 70% is actually untrue, because this is not a unified world, but a situation of warlord separatism.

They didn't dare to go on after this point, because the remaining 30% of the world was firmly confined in the Taoist temple. If they dared to enter, they would surely die.

This is equivalent to the final bottom line.

In view of this, the extremely evil people did not dare to continue their actions, mainly because they were afraid that the Emperor of Yin and Yang would be doomed to failure.

However, they did not dare to continue to confront the Shinto forces head-on, but as their strength grew and the power in their hands increased, these warlords were thinking of one thing.

Then get rid of this sword hanging over your head.

The sharp sword was naturally not pointing at the Shinto Yin-Yang Emperor. The other party had already stayed indoors and could not be solved even if one wanted to.

On the contrary, Lu Xingshi, who gave them power in the first place, has not come out to ask for benefits in these years.

In their view, this is not a good thing.

If they come out now, it means they don't want much, but if they wait until they are successful and famous before asking for it, then their agenda must be big.

At the very least, you have to vomit out everything you have eaten, and you have to vomit yourself as well.

The warlords did not think that Lu Xingshi was a good person, otherwise how could he have instigated them to rebel?
When one's status reaches a certain level, reputation becomes important. Therefore, if one can shirk responsibility for past mistakes or absurd things, one should do so; if one cannot, one should simply cover it up.

Not to mention the deal with Lu Xingshi, which was obviously problematic at first glance.

Therefore, up to now, the biggest worry for the evil warlords is not the Yin-Yang Emperor, but Lu Xingshi, who gave them power.

After they defeated the Shinto forces and forced them to stay indoors, they thought of solving this hidden danger.

"Everyone, today's banquet is not a good one. It is to eliminate future troubles for you and me." Zhao Min sat in the main seat, emitting a terrifying aura.

Among the most evil warlords today, Zhao Min can be said to be the number one, so this banquet was also initiated by him.

There were not many surprises among the people at the banquet. If it weren't for this matter, they would not have come to the banquet.

"No need to be polite, let's get to the point." Huang Bo calmly cut through the formality. He didn't come here to listen to such words.

Huang Bo's extremely evil warlord power is only second to Zhao Min. The gap between the two is actually not that big. If they really fight head-on, the outcome is still unknown.

But with such power, the possibility of the two sides falling out is very small.

"Okay, I invite you all to kill the ambitious man who instigated us to rebel." Zhao Min spoke directly.

"Then do you know where that Taoist is?" Huang Bo asked very practically. If he wanted to kill the other person, he would first have to know where he was.

How else can you kill? Just by mouth?

Since they obtained the Extremely Evil Human Way Fruit, averaging out the time spent by each person, it has been about three years since anyone has seen Lu Xingshi.

The other party is like a dragon that can't be found from head to tail. How can we find him?

It is easier said than done.

"I asked the Emperor of Yin and Yang to tell my fortune." Zhao Min said directly.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene froze. The righteous cause that everyone had raised the banner for was directed against the Yin-Yang Emperor, but you, however, said these words openly.

Fortunately, Zhao Min's strength and influence were strong enough, otherwise the first thing the evil warlords would do would not be to eliminate future troubles, but to annex Zhao Min first in order to strengthen themselves.

"What's the result?" Huang Bo was the only one present who remained calm.

Isn't it just communicating with Shinto forces? What's the big deal? On the surface, everyone is shouting for war and killing, but in fact, there are many people who are communicating with Shinto forces in secret. People can't go against money and food for the so-called justice.

How could a group of warlords who have been polluted by the five turbidities and evil world and turned into evil people have any moral bottom line?

Three years is enough time for these people to change their faces.

"There's not enough money." Zhao Min said directly.

The real purpose of holding this banquet was to prepare enough resources. Otherwise, would Zhao Min really have to pay for it himself? That was wishful thinking.

Not only did he not pay for it himself, he also planned to make a profit from it. "So your goal is to get everyone to gather enough resources and then ask the Yin Yang Emperor for divination, right?" Huang Bo was not stupid, he understood the other party's idea at the first time, but he still took into account a little face and did not point out the other party's thoughts.

If we really have to point it out, everyone will lose face.

"That's right, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Min was asking this question even though he knew the answer. What good ideas could there be? After the two of you sang the same tune, I have to give it to you even if I don't want to.

"Of course we will. As long as we can get rid of this trouble, it will be worth it no matter what the price." Huang Bo said righteously.

He helped Zhao Min not for free. Just now, the two of them reached a deal.

Huang Bo will take the lead next, but all the resources he gave will be returned in full, and after deducting the resources used as hexagram money, the remaining amount will be divided equally.

Huang Bo can do this because he is at most slightly inferior to Zhao Min, but others cannot. If they dare to shirk responsibility or use any tricks, they will just have to wait to be swallowed up.

The situation is now relatively stable, and all parties are restraining each other and are eager to find a reason to take action.

The subsequent plan went smoothly. With Huang Bo taking the lead and Zhao Min appeasing the people, the other extremely evil warlords had no choice but to surrender honestly.

No one was blind enough to interrupt on purpose.

They have evil personalities, but they have normal brains, just like Emperor Zhaohuang in the past. He is cruel and inhumane, but he knows that if he provokes Lu Xingshi, he will die, so no matter how arrogant he is, he dare not do it to Lu Xingshi.

But after everyone was skimmed off such a layer of grease, the delicious food and wine at the banquet tasted like chewing wax, and the graceful dancing of the singers was boring.

The money that was taken from them could be exchanged for countless fine wines, delicious food, singing girls and dancers. Even if they moved the tables, chairs and benches back, they wouldn't be a fraction of what they lost.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being a great warlord, and his ability in plundering is indeed extremely strong.

The banquet was soon over, and basically all the warlord leaders left Zhao Min's territory, as staying in other people's territory would easily lead to trouble.

Not everyone is as skilled and bold as Huang Bo. Not only did he not leave, but he also started a secret conversation with Zhao Min in the study.

Before the secret talk, the two of them divided their spoils first.

Huang Bo looked at the list in his hand and nodded with great satisfaction: "This group of people are indeed extremely wealthy. This amount alone is enough for my harvest this year."

What he said was indeed a bit exaggerated. After all, he could get more by squeezing the people's money.

“It’s just that the Yin-Yang Emperor wants so much, so we can’t suppress it any longer.” After putting down his list of gains, he looked at the hexagram gold again and frowned.

The amount on this divination list was several times less than what was on his list.

"When I ask someone to do something for me, I can lower the price, and he can also refuse to do it for me." Zhao Min said calmly.

Hearing this, Huang Bo understood in an instant that the other party not only returned the full amount he had paid and split it 50-50, but also took a portion of the divination money given to the Yin Yang Emperor. The amount of this portion was probably not small.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face.

He really didn't dare to ask for the funds that Zhao Min had taken away, as it was what the other party deserved.

There is a lot of risk in doing this.

It's basically the same as facing the Yin-Yang Emperor directly. If you're not careful, your life will be in danger.

Huang Bo was certain that if he dared to point out this matter and ask for it, Zhao Min would directly give him the resources that he had withdrawn, and at the same time let him discuss the divination matter with the Emperor of Yin and Yang.

He didn't dare to go. Don't forget that Huang Bo was born as a priest in the Emperor Temple. Even if he was dismissed without reason, if he really wanted to kill someone between him and Zhao Min, the Yin-Yang Emperor would not hesitate but would slap him in the face.

It was indeed the Yin-Yang Emperor who was unreasonable and stripped him of his status for no reason, but he didn't care about that.

The Yin-Yang Emperor can remove you from your position as a temple priest, but you cannot betray him, and his main feature is his overbearing nature.

Therefore, the person who most hopes that the Yin-Yang Emperor will die is none other than Huang Bo.

"Greed is the virtue of the Emperor. Sooner or later, he will die from it." Huang Bo sneered and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he insulted the Yin Yang Emperor.

Zhao Min ignored the other party's words and changed the subject: "What do you think our chances of winning are, plus the addition of the Yin Yang Emperor..."

"Then even if we win, we will definitely die." Huang Bo directly interrupted Zhao Min's thoughts. It was nothing more than asking the Yin-Yang Emperor to come out.

"You don't think that the Yin Yang Emperor has a good impression of us, do you? We have seized 70% of his world."

"If we kill that Taoist, the Yin Yang Emperor will only take the opportunity to destroy us." Huang Bo knew the character of the Yin Yang Emperor very well.

They had all killed the temple keeper and his disciples, and even beheaded the incarnations of their subordinate gods and servants. The latter were especially the ones who had directly offended their reverse scales and had no chance of survival at all.

"It seems that you have a deep understanding of the Yin Yang Emperor." Zhao Min looked at Huang Bo deeply, and then no longer mentioned the matter of joining forces with the Yin Yang Emperor.

It has to be said that he agreed with Huang Bo's statement.
