Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 643: The Eight Swords of the King of Yue (I)

Ye Qingcang never puts himself in danger.

The same goes for this meeting.

Of course, Lu Buwei could not do anything to him, because Lu Buwei could not even beat Jingwei. Although he was just taking advantage of Jingwei, no matter what, Jingwei was indeed defeated by him, and that was the fact.

Therefore, to say that he was afraid of Lu Buwei is pure nonsense.

The danger mentioned here refers to the snare.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian was transferred away.

The sun is hidden far away in the State of Chu.

Jingwei's whereabouts are unknown, but he is actually hiding in Xinzheng, the capital of Korea.

But apart from the above-mentioned people, other masters of Luowang are still there. Luowang, which is now in its heyday, is a powerful force with seven masters. The four swords of Zhen Gang, Duan Shui, Mie Hun and Zhuan Po are all wielded by master-level sword masters. Although the number of famous swords they wield is relatively small and cannot constitute the six sword slaves of Luowang during the Zhao Gao period, the quality is far beyond that.

The Luowang network during Zhao Gao's period had completely become a tool in Zhao Gao's hands.

All you need to do is to carry out Zhao Gao's will.

In name only.

Although the Luowang during Lu Buwei's period was also extreme, it was not that extreme, and the number of top masters actually prevailed.

In addition, there are differences in organization.

The authentic Eight Swords of King Yue should be Yanri, Duanshui, Zhen Gang, Jingwei, Zhuanpo, Miehun, Xuanjian and Quexie. However, in Zhao Gao's hands, some of the famous swords were renamed according to their different performances.

The Soul-Turning Sword was split into two parts, namely Soul-Turning and Soul-Destroying.

The Soul-Destroying Sword was renamed and defined as "Wang" and "Ling".

Both are against swords.

Same as Xuan Jian.

What is in the hands of Hei Bai Xuan Jian are pairs of swords.

Also called a two-handed sword.

In other words, Zhao Gao's six sword slaves were defective products.

The twin sisters holding the swords Zhuanpo and Miehun should be one in essence. If someone can control these two swords at the same time, he is called the Zhuanpo Sword Master. His upper limit among the Eight Swords of King Yue can be ranked in the top three, which is much stronger than the famous swords like Jingwei that are ranked at the back.

Now, the Soul-Transforming Sword Master who is under Lu Buwei is like this.

In other words, separate the two swords in his hands.

Find two innate warriors to serve as sword slaves.

You can then create two of the six sword slaves.

The Wuliang is actually the Soul-Destroying Sword, which is also a sword. It's just that Zhao Gao in the original novel was luckier and found someone who could control the Soul-Destroying Sword. Although he was also a sword slave, he could borrow the thoughts contained in the Soul-Destroying Sword and launch master-level attacks with the cultivation of the innate realm. This kind of warrior is also called a pseudo-grandmaster, which is also the origin of the sword slave, because the master's thoughts they use are not their own. But compared with the original Soul-Destroying Sword that was forced to split, the Soul-Destroying Sword that barely remained intact was just lucky to be renamed.

There is also the chaotic god among the Six Sword Slaves.

Real food.

No washing.

Their talents are similar to those of the twin sisters who wield the Yuanzhuanpo Sword.

Because Luanshen is not one of the Eight Swords of King Yue.

Although it was also a sword forged by the King of Yue.

But it is not among the Eight Swords.

It is entirely the ruler's own problem that he cannot control the sword of Chaos God and becomes a sword slave. In comparison, even if he does not have the sword of Chaos God, the result will be the same if he tries to control any of the other eight swords of King Yue. He will be counterattacked and become a sword slave.

Therefore, Luowang now has only seven sword masters.

The Quexie Sword has not found its owner yet.

But these seven sword masters are all masters.

Picking out any two of them can defeat the six sword slaves under Zhao Gao, and they are completely defeated in all aspects in terms of the quality of warriors.

It is fortunate that the current Master of the Soul-Transforming Sword and the Master of the Soul-Destroying Sword have not seen the future Six Sword Slaves of Luowang, otherwise, they would definitely be so angry that their noses would be crooked.

The Master of the Soul-Transforming Sword would probably begin to doubt his life.

How bad are you youngsters?
Can you become a sword slave if you separate the controls?

If a person fails to control these two swords and becomes a sword slave, it is more or less understandable. Not every master has this ability. To control the Soul Change, one needs to understand the meaning of the conversion between reality and illusion, and also have the strength and willpower to surpass the previous sword master. It is normal to be slightly weaker than me. There have been sword slaves with the Soul Change Sword in history. It's just that I am stronger, so I became a sword master.

But how difficult is it to drive separately?

This means that the difficulty of becoming the master of each sword has been reduced by more than half!
In the past, any sword slave of the Soul-Transforming Sword could successfully become the lord of one of the swords, but he could not control two swords at the same time. This was the watershed that determined who became the lord of the sword.

As a result, now, you tell me that anyone who comes later and chooses to wield one of the two-handed swords, Zhuan Soul Sword, will be turned into a sword slave?

It is such a waste that these two swords fall into the hands of you two sisters!
But the mentality of the Soul-Destroying Sword Master is estimated to be more explosive than that of the Soul-Transforming Sword Master. After all, the Soul-Transforming Sword Master could only see two annoying latecomers at most. Even though the difficulty was reduced by half, they still couldn't figure out how to use the corresponding sword. But on his side, the latecomers even lost the name of the sword!
Ghost and dragon?

The true name of this two-handed sword is Soul Destroyer!
Although you inherited this two-handed sword, at least you were not like the two twin sisters who inherited one sword each and then became sword slaves. Instead, you controlled the Soul-Destroying Sword alone and became a sword slave, which is on the same level as countless sword slaves in the past. But the fact that you lost the name of the sword is enough to make the crime you bear greater than the former.

It’s a pity that people say things according to their time.

Whether a name is nice or not, it is just a name.

As the victor, Zhao Gao naturally had the power to decide the names of these swords.

It is said that he changed the soul-destroying character into the monster.

Even if he changed the soul-destroying creatures into cattle and horses.

That is also his personal power.

After all, it was he who originated the allusion of calling a deer a horse. When it comes to changing names, no one dares to say that he is better than Zhao Gao.

As for what the Soul-Destroying Sword Master is thinking now, it is obviously not important, because they will all die with Lu Buwei and be wiped out one by one by Zhao Gao, just like the True Steel Sword Master and the Broken Water Sword Master. Absolute force can indeed subvert everything, but not everyone has absolute force. The Grand Master is indeed a figure standing at the top of the world's martial artists, but it is still too ridiculous to think that one person can defeat an entire country.

After all, Luowang is not an army.

Cannot be put on the surface.

They can only be like a group of snakes, rats, insects and ants moving in the shadows, unable to see the light. In this era, they are despised and even spurned.

However, this does not affect Ye Qingcang's assessment of their strength.

Perhaps Lu Buwei would not arrange these people.

But he couldn't help but guard against this possibility.

If the above four sword masters come, then four grandmasters are present.

Don’t consider Lu Buwei, a fake one.

The room for maneuver left for him is also infinitely small.

In front of a strong man of this level, the same method will only work the first time it is used, and it may not work perfectly.

Just a meeting.

There is really no need to take this risk.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang directly gave this task to a faceless man, and asked this faceless man to meet with Lu Buwei on his behalf.

Also, show its capabilities again.

It brought some small shock to Lu Buwei.

And on the other side.

Ye Qingcang’s prediction turned out to be correct.

Lu Buwei did summon all the Luowang top killers he could summon at the moment, namely the Master of the Zhengang Sword, the Master of the Duanshui Sword, the Master of the Zhuanpo Sword and others, because Yanri was in the State of Chu, and according to the estimated distance, even if he ran his horses to death, he would not be able to return to Xianyang within three days. Jingwei was suspected to be in the State of Wei, because her original target was a big shot in the State of Wei, and Heibai Xuanjian was in the State of Han, and it was unclear whether he had arrived in Xinzheng yet. What's more, Heibai Xuanjian's current condition was not very good. Not only was his consciousness confused, but most of his master's intention was also wasted. However, when facing those warriors at the innate and below realms, he could still kill them instantly. At most, he would have a hard time facing a master.

Therefore, if we rank these master-level killers within Luowang, in terms of strength, the Lord of the Sun-covering Sword is undoubtedly ranked first.

The second is the Soul-Transforming Sword Master.

Further down is the Soul-Destroying Sword Master.

Then, it was Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Jing Wei, Duan Shui and Zhengang Sword Master.

If there was no weakening of the state of chaos.

Black and White Xuan Jian was able to squeeze out the Soul-Destroying Sword Master and compete with the Soul-Transforming Sword Master.

It’s hard to say whether we can win.

But 40% to 60% is not a problem.

Jingwei's water principle is relatively stable. As long as she doesn't get pregnant and give birth to a child like in the original book, she can stay in the fifth place. Even if Quexie Sword finds its master and comes to the top, her strength is stronger than Zhengang Sword Master and Duanshui Sword Master. There must be two people at the bottom of the list.

However, although Lu Buwei summoned all the top killers he could summon, he did not let these killers investigate the Wangyue Tower. Instead, he handed the bamboo slips to these people to read, and then let those present express their opinions.

This is also the special feature of the Sword Master.

They are a group of caring people.

Sometimes you can ask them for advice.

It's like a guild.

Lu Buwei was the president of this guild.

Take other members of the guild to go to dungeons and kill monsters.

But if Lu Buwei is gone one day, or if Lu Buwei does something that is detrimental to his personal interests, the members themselves can simply disobey the orders of Lu Buwei, the president. If you have the ability, you can kick me out. If you don't, you can only tolerate me and tolerate this behavior of following orders but not orders. You have no right to mobilize me personally.

Therefore, Lu Buwei has always treated these sword masters fairly.

Just like the identities of these sword masters.

As a killer, the title of Sword Master is just a compliment given to one by outsiders. No matter how nice it sounds, these Sword Masters are just killers. They are very clear about the basic configuration of a killer.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Some worthless identities can be thrown away after use, but some valuable identities can be retained for next use.

Luowang’s money didn’t come from the wind.

It is impossible to wholesale identities to members indefinitely.

Among the many identities of these sword masters, one is Lu Buwei's retainer, so it is not strange for them to communicate with Lu Buwei on a daily basis.

Many powerful people in this era like to keep retainers.

That is, some people who are known for their talent and learning.

The measure of talent and learning is not how many Confucian classics you have read.

It depends on whether you have real ability.

The definition of real skill is quite vague.

Is petty theft considered a real skill?

Definitely not!

Means that cannot be brought to the surface are of no help in governing the country.

But if this petty stealing skill is used in big events like stealing the talisman to save Zhao, would it be considered a real skill?

Therefore, the standards for accepting or supporting retainers have always been uncertain.

The powerful themselves agree.

That's no problem.

It's just like when a boss opens a company and recruits employees. Unless they are the kind of people who cannot be more useless, in the eyes of the boss, they are all worth using. It's just a matter of whether he can put these employees in suitable positions, whether these employees can create corresponding profits for him, and whether he can give these employees relatively fair compensation.

This is exactly the identity of these sword masters as retainers.

Can get a reasonable salary from Lu Buwei.

There is also a corresponding identity when going out to do things.

However, there are some people who are not suitable to be retainers, such as Jingwei. Retainers of the current era are all men. Even if Lu Buwei wanted to arrange a retainer status for Jingwei, he couldn't do it. The best he could do was to persuade Zhao Ji to arrange an identity of a palace maid for Jingwei, but it was only an identity on the list. Jingwei herself had never entered the palace, nor had she worked under anyone. She only had such an identity that could be barely verified. Once a detailed investigation was conducted, it would be easy to find that it was Zhao Ji.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji's status was rather special.

As the current queen mother of Qin.

It’s okay to question her temperament and desires.

But her status and position cannot be denied.

Not to mention that the Black Ice Platform and the Shadow Secret Guards did not have the ability to find out Jingwei's true identity. Even if the Black Ice Platform and the Shadow Secret Guards found out Jingwei's identity as a high-ranking member of Luowang, Ying Zheng would turn a blind eye. At most, he would give Lu Buwei, the leader of Luowang, a warning. After all, Jingwei was a woman, and this identity saved her a lot of worries and troubles. It could even be said that if Zhao Ji wanted to protect Jingwei, she could just use the excuse that Lu Buwei had arranged a female guard for her to fool Ying Zheng, which was both reasonable and emotional.

Therefore, under Lu Buwei's arrangement.

Luowang is actually on the right track.

The one who had the most successful transformation was Yanri, but Yanri's transformation was successful on his own and had nothing to do with Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei also got inspiration from Yanri's example and began to arrange public identities for these senior executives of Luowang in order to expand Luowang's influence.

Today is a doorman.

Perhaps in the future he will be awarded an official position for his meritorious advice.

Maybe he will become a general or a prime minister in the future.

By then, how big will this behemoth of Luowang expand to?
From controlling the ups and downs in the world.

Become the wind and rain that controls the world.

This is Lu Buwei’s fantasy.

However, the timing was not good at the moment. His dispute with Ying Zheng, his good disciple and king, over power was like a whirlpool, causing the Zhengang Sword Master, the Duanshui Sword Master, the Zhuanpo Sword Master and other newbies with no political experience to end up in a pure suicide situation.

The struggle in the court is not much safer than the assassination of an assassin. Moreover, the assassin's assassination is to kill a visible target, and the enemy and us are very clear, while the enemy and us in the court can change at any time. Pushing these sword masters up now will not only make them bear this risk, but also his political enemies may seize this opportunity to tear open his defenses. Generally speaking, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Lu Buwei was not in a hurry.

Instead, I plan to wait until the situation stabilizes before doing anything else.

See if the plan can be implemented.
