secret dice.

Chapter 776 The aftermath
Luo Jun's fingers vibrated rapidly, and a string of bullets shot out, almost one after another, aiming at the Divine Beggar's forehead!

Even though he had been tricked, he was still a mortal, and his unstable qi was not something that could be penetrated by one or two bullets. However, with the combined force of a series of bullets, his qi was eventually broken through, and the bullets pierced the beggar's forehead. He fell backward, and blood sprayed upward.

Luo Jun reacted swiftly, leaping out and catching the beggar's corpse in mid-air. He then took out the essence collection bottle and collected the beggar's essence into it.

The amount is about the same as Long Hui's. I don't know if Long Hui is too strong or this beggar god is too weak...

Luo Jun shook his head, raised his hand and retracted the massive Thunder Fury mech, falling back to the ground along with the corpse of the Divine Beggar.

As for the girl in red and the members of the Hundred Gates who witnessed this scene, they were completely dumbfounded...

"Yu...Yu Hua was really killed?" Xu Pingfei stared at the corpse of the Divine Beggar, his eyes fixed on the bloody hole between his eyebrows, his words slurred: "Just like that, you shot him with one bullet?"

"Hey! You can't just say things like that!" Luo Jun waved his hand and said, "I didn't just fire one shot, I fired many shots!" As he spoke, he symbolically blew on the muzzle of the gun.

"Then what's that in your hand..." Tong Wenjie pointed to the strange mollusk in Luo Jun's hand.

"Oh, this one? I just found him to help out at the last minute." With that, he tossed the monster to Xu Pingfei: "Be careful, his poison is very potent, take precautions!"

Xu Pingfei hurriedly used his inner energy to protect himself and carefully caught the monster. He felt it was slippery and instinctively gripped it tightly. The monster immediately started chirping and squeaking.

"Be careful, it's fragile, don't kill it," Luo Jun hurriedly reminded.

This monster is called the Bewitching Sea Monster, a creature from the world of mythology. It dwells in the depths of the Chaotic Sea and is extremely rare. Although its body is soft and vulnerable, it possesses high intelligence and extremely strong mental power. It can also release a highly potent neurotoxin. This toxin is colorless and odorless. Under the Bewitching Sea Monster's mental control, once a target inhales a certain concentration, they will begin to experience symptoms such as dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and hallucinations.

What's even more terrifying is that this toxin is extremely potent. It can not only enter the body through the mouth and nose, but also penetrate through the skin. If one encounters the most powerful sea monster king, or even a powerful being at the Feathered Ascension level, one could still be poisoned if proper precautions are not taken.

It can be said that in the mythology, the Sea of ​​Confusion is a secret realm that even top experts dare not enter casually, and the Bewitching Sea Monster deserves much credit for this.

Fortunately, this thing itself has virtually no offensive power; its poison is mainly used to disrupt the opponent's mind and weaken their strength, making it easier for the poisoner to escape. If there are no other dangers nearby, the poisoned person can recover quickly. But the crucial problem is that the Sea of ​​Confusion is fraught with danger. If one is accidentally poisoned by the Bewitching Sea Monster and then attacked by other monsters, even the most skilled expert could be defeated.

Of course, as native adventurers of the [Mythical] realm, they also know how to deal with it. Before entering the Sea of ​​Chaos, they prepare special antidotes, which they take immediately upon discovering they've been poisoned, thus neutralizing the effects of most toxins. Powerful peak-level or even Ascension-level experts have stronger resistance than ordinary cultivators. If they sense anything amiss, they will immediately hold their breath and use their inner energy to shield themselves from the outside air to avoid poisoning.

However, it is clear that the Beggar of Kyushu, who comes from the martial arts world, has neither an antidote nor the experience or awareness to deal with it.

From the beginning, Luo Jun did not enter the mecha, but let Thunder Fury fight on its own. At the same time, he took out the other-dimensional fishing rod and used the dice to determine "fish out the monster that is most effective against the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar". As a result, he fished out this thing.

Luo Jun naturally didn't recognize this monster from [Mythology], but fortunately, the Bewitching Sea Demon was quite intelligent, and Luo Jun was able to communicate with it simply using his mental power. The monster probably hadn't seen such a powerful spirit and body as Luo Jun before, and coupled with the shock of the black fire, it immediately became very talkative.

So, while the Nine Provinces Beggar was fighting the enormous Thunder Fury, Luo Jun used the illusion of the Creation Chess to conceal his figure, allowing the Bewitching Heart Sea Demon to control the poisonous mist to infect the old beggar, poisoning him without anyone noticing.

Of course, the others were unaware of the mystery behind this, and only felt that Luo Jun had an endless stream of magical treasures and defeated the Nine Provinces Beggar with unbelievable methods.

“Luo…Luo Jun…” Tong Wenjie was still somewhat incredulous. He looked at Luo Jun and found that the guy was squatting in front of the beggar’s corpse, as if he was peeling something off his face.

"What is it?" Luo Jun stood up, touching the treasure box.

“Even if this beggar is really too much, it’s fine if you force him to retreat, but if you really kill him, how will our Bai Na Sect maintain its standing in the martial arts world if word gets out…” Tong Wenjie said with a worried expression.

“Indeed…” Xu Pingfei, having settled the Bewitching Heart Sea Demon, also frowned: “Now is the critical moment for all the martial arts factions to fight against the Six Paths Sect. Regardless of whether the Beggar God was at fault first, he died at the Hundred Nectar Gate. We will probably be regarded as traitors of the Central Plains martial arts world, and it will be difficult for us to move forward in the future.”

"What's there to be afraid of!" The girl in red beside her had calmed down by now. "You all have such experts in your ranks, why are you worried about what other sects think? If you ask me, why don't you take this opportunity to join our Six Paths Sect? Once we unify the Central Plains martial arts world, I'll make sure the sect leader gives you the greatest credit!"

The disciples of Bainamen looked at her, thinking to themselves that half of the trouble was caused by her. If she hadn't shown up, how could that old beggar have been accused of colluding with the Six Paths Sect!

"What are you two sect leaders talking about?" At this moment, Luo Jun feigned a blank expression and spread his hands: "When did I ever kill the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar? That was a master of the Feathered Ascension Realm, how could you just kill him like that? Are you two out of your minds?"

Xu Pingfei and Tong Wenjie were stunned and instinctively looked down at the corpse on the ground. They saw Luo Jun suddenly take out a treasure that looked like a chess box and throw a ball of light at the corpse of the Nine Provinces Beggar. The corpse immediately began to split and disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into dust and disappeared with the wind.

The Great Disintegration Spell is one of the most powerful spells in the game of Creation Chess. It can be easily defended against when dealing with a living Ascension, but it can easily decompose a corpse.

Everyone's eyes lit up upon seeing this: "Right, right, when did the Beggar God come here? We've never seen him before..."

"That's right, we just came out for a walk in the middle of the night to relax and enjoy the moonlight..."

That's right. Since the Beggar God is dead and his body destroyed, there's no way to prove anything. As for the claim that the Beggar God died at the Hundred Gates, there's no evidence, and even telling the truth might not convince anyone!
"Hey, are you trying to deny it?" The girl in red frowned, her eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.

"It seems this is the only hidden danger." Luo Jun sighed, giving the Bewitching Sea Monster a wink. The monster immediately shuddered, then opened its mouth and spewed a cloud of colorless and odorless poisonous smoke at the girl in red! This high concentration of poisonous smoke could even affect a divine beggar, let alone the severely injured girl in red. Upon smelling it, she felt dizzy and disoriented, and before she could stand, she collapsed to the ground with a thud…

Xu Pingfei immediately stepped forward, took out a pair of shackles from the treasure box to restrain her, and then ordered the manipulation faction and the elemental faction proficient in earth element in the sect to repair the battle traces on the mountain overnight. Then he took Luo Jun, the Bewitching Sea Demon and the girl in red back to the sect on the mountain.

"What do we do now?" In the small reception room in the backyard of the sect, Xu Pingfei, Tong Wenjie and Luo Jun sat together, discussing their next move.

"I've ordered everyone to keep quiet about what happened today, and the main world has also sent people to report the situation..." Xu Pingfei said, "Now we can be basically certain that we must insist that we've never seen the Beggar God, and that his death has nothing to do with us!"

“I don’t think it’s safe to say we haven’t seen him before.” Luo Jun shook his head. “The Beggar God is a well-known figure in the martial arts world. If someone sees him coming in this direction, or if he mentions to someone that he’s coming to our Bai Na Sect, we can’t deny it. That would only arouse suspicion.”

"So you mean..." The two acting sect leaders frowned.

Luo Jun laughed and said, "I think we can admit that we have met the Beggar God, but there was no conflict between us. After the situation was explained, the Beggar God left safely."

"Does this make sense?" Xu Pingfei hesitated. "Wouldn't that make us the last people to see the Beggar God? If the Beggar God disappears and the matter is investigated, we'll still be implicated..."

"Who said we were the last to meet?" Luo Jun smiled slightly, raised his hand and took out a mask from the treasure box. The moment he put it on his face, his face and his entire body began to change. After a moment, he actually became exactly the same as the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar!
"This is..." The two acting sect leaders were taken aback. Tong Wenjie said, "A disguise-type treasure, and the imitation is so comprehensive, it must be of a high grade!"

Luo Jun smiled slightly: "If I go out for a stroll with this face and do a few big things, wouldn't Bai Na Men be cleared of suspicion?"

"I see. You were busy in front of the Beggar God's corpse to collect his face!" Xu Pingfei nodded approvingly, then pointed to his own forehead: "But there's still a slight imperfection."

Luo Jun raised his hand and touched his forehead, finding a small, damp dent. Xu Pingfei handed him a mirror, and Luo Jun looked at it and discovered that there was a bloody bullet hole on his forehead!
"Oh no, they sampled the corpse's face, but they also sampled the bullet holes." Luo Jun was both amused and exasperated. Tong Wenjie handed him a headscarf: "But you're just imitating the appearance, there won't be any blood. Use this to cover it up and it won't be noticeable."

Luo Jun took the headscarf and put it on. Sure enough, he looked exactly like the Beggar God, a living, breathing version of him.

“That’s perfect!” Luo Jun chuckled. “The next problem is that girl in red. She’s so young yet already has such a high level of skill and wields a magical weapon. She must be an important figure within the Six Paths Sect.”

"Moreover, she explicitly stated that she came to seek an alliance with us. The Six Paths Sect must know her whereabouts. Whether we kill her or imprison her, if she doesn't return for a long time, the Six Paths Sect will probably come knocking on our door." Luo Jun said, "That sect is known as the Demonic Sect by the Central Plains martial arts world. Regardless of how much of that is slander and defamation, having that nickname means it's probably not easy to deal with."

"But if we let her go, she will spread the news of the Beggar God's death, and we will be in a very passive position."

“Well, I’ve thought of a way,” Xu Pingfei said. “I’ve already reported it in my report to the main world. It just so happens that the person in question is in Ningdong and should be arriving soon.”

"Who is it?" Luo Jun was taken aback, then heard someone knocking on the door. After receiving Xu Pingfei's permission, a disciple came in: "Acting Sect Leader, Mr. Zhuge has arrived."

"Oh?" Xu Pingfei's face lit up with surprise: "Quickly, take him to the prison! We're coming right now!"

"Mr. Zhuge?" Luo Jun's eyebrows twitched, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

Luo Jun followed Xu Pingfei and Tong Wenjie out of the reception room and all the way to the prison. Sure enough, he saw a refined-looking man in his thirties standing there. It was Zhuge Chi!
“Mr. Zhuge, it’s fortunate that you are in Ningdong. This has really solved our urgent problem.” Xu Pingfei immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"I was invited by Ningdong Academy to help out by chance," Zhuge Chi said with a smile. "It is my honor to be able to lend a hand to President Xu."

As he spoke, Zhuge Chi saw Luo Jun and exclaimed in surprise, "Luo Jun is here too? Weren't you waiting for the prize on Tianyuan Island?"

"A bit of a coincidence," Luo Jun chuckled, thinking to himself that he had guessed correctly. He had long heard that the fourth subject of the Ningdong Academy's entrance exam this year was a test of inner demons related to illusions, and that Zhuge Chi had been specially invited to help create a large-scale illusion for multiple people.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Pingfei led Zhuge Chi inside while explaining the purpose of his invitation.

"You mean, you killed a native Ascension Realm cultivator?" Even the usually composed Zhuge Chi couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing this news.

"To be precise, it wasn't us, it was him." Tong Wenjie pointed at Luo Jun. "To be honest, you should be glad that the Tianyuan Tournament only allows you to bring three of your own crafted treasures. If the restrictions were lifted, maybe this kid could have won the championship even without Ling Yao withdrawing from the competition."

Zhuge Chi looked at Luo Jun in surprise, and Luo Jun smiled and said, "They're just little tricks, nothing more."

In short, the matter of killing the Beggar God must not be spread, and now we have a very troublesome witness. As they spoke, they arrived at the innermost cell, where the girl in red was being held. In the adjacent cubicle, there was a large basin of water, in which the soft, bewitching sea monster was taking a bath.

Upon seeing Luo Jun, the monster shuddered again, intensifying the release of the poisonous mist, and controlling it precisely, ensuring that not a single trace escaped from the girl's cell.

Under the influence of the poisonous fog, the girl, bound by shackles, lay unconscious on the ground, motionless...

“It’s this girl…” Xu Pingfei sighed, “I can’t kill her, and I can’t let her go, so I can only… ask you to help me modify her memories.”
