Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 672. Rescuing Tianze!

"I understand."

"However, it seems I realized it a little too late."

"Let's discuss it now."

"Could you pretend I didn't see anything?"

Yan Lingji gave a rare bitter smile.

Some secrets come at a price.

Methods like Ye Qingcang's.

While it's not yet certain whether this thing, neither a worm nor a plant but resembling a chunk of meat, follows any restrictions during the devouring process—otherwise, if there were no restrictions at all, it would be too overpowered—nothing in the world is perfect, that much is certain. But just the fact that this thing can freely replace a person, including their aura and strength, and even potentially inherit the memories of the devoured, is already a secret so vast that she couldn't possibly leave alive. At the very least, Ye Qingcang wouldn't let her leave after knowing this secret. Putting herself in Ye Qingcang's shoes, she would do the same. Therefore, she has absolutely no hope for it.

However, Yan Lingji underestimated Ye Qingcang.

"Don't worry."

"I won't do anything to you."

"If you see it, you see it."

"There's nothing I can't admit."

"There's nothing I'm afraid to admit."

Ye Qingcang glanced at Yan Lingji, who had become much more well-behaved.

He instantly figured out what the other person was thinking.

He chuckled, slightly speechless, then changed the subject, saying frankly, "Besides, what I admire is your soul, not your body. What I hope for is that you can live happily and joyfully. Although it sounds fake, it is truly what I feel. You can choose to believe it or not. I haven't used life alchemy for many years, and I can't possibly go against my principles to demonstrate it to you right now. If there is an opportunity, when you understand me deeply enough, you will know why I say this, and why I admire your soul rather than your body."

Yan Lingji lowered her eyes subconsciously.

Then, he suddenly realized that this reaction was not good.

A dry cough.

It has been restored to its original appearance.

Even if she only appears to have recovered, she is still somewhat reserved.

They didn't back down verbally, though.

He muttered to himself, "And you were just staring at her body..."

"No, please don't say things that could easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Looking at the arms is also called seeing the body."

"Seeing the face is also called seeing the body."

"Seeing the back is also called seeing the body."

Ye Qingcang knew very well that he was a man, and that innocence was not very important to him. On the contrary, strength was the most important thing. As long as he had enough strength, no one would dare to slander him. However, just because he did not value his innocence did not mean that others could throw blame on him at will. He still needed to defend himself when necessary.

Yan Lingji winked slyly.

Follow Ye Qingcang.

He didn't even bother to explain his earlier teasing.

With his hands behind his back, like a little fox: "Then why didn't you dare look at me when you handed me the clothes? Can you honestly say you weren't tempted?"

"The first time I look at you, it's out of respect for myself."

"Because you are very good-looking."

"My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be brave."

"I am a man and you are a woman, so there is an innate attraction between us."

"But just looking at you once is a sign of respect."

"I am a human being, and so are you."

"I should have a conscience, and you should have the most basic sense of shame."

"I will not put my preferences above the embarrassment of others."

"If you really mind..."

Ye Qingcang smiled, turned his head to look at Yan Lingji who seemed to be deep in thought, and said dismissively, "Then gouge out my eyes as repayment."

Yan Lingji really didn't expect Ye Qingcang to answer like that.

Her red lips moved slightly.

But I couldn't utter a word.

He saw Ye Qingcang turn around and look at him.

Suddenly, I felt a little panicked.

The ability to think quickly and ingeniously was activated.

She coughed lightly and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that. Besides, the women of the Baiyue region are different from the women of the Central Plains. They won't attack you just because you accidentally saw something you shouldn't have. I just suspect that you like me, or more precisely, you're lusting after my body..."

"how about you?"

Ye Qingcang raised an eyebrow.

Looking at Yan Lingji, who was still in a daze.

He suddenly smiled.

At the same time, she lifted the hem of her shirt.

His well-defined eight-pack abs were visible.

There are also faintly visible V-lines, etc.

Yan Lingji glanced at it subconsciously.

Really.

She swore.

It was a subconscious action.

Rather than what she actually wanted to see.

But Yan Lingji had to admit that this glance did indeed cause some random thoughts in her mind, and she couldn't say what she originally wanted to say. As if she had been electrocuted, she suddenly woke up and turned her head sharply.

However, it was precisely this action that exposed her ulterior motives.

Ye Qingcang also knew when to stop.

Let down the hem of your clothes.

He calmly comforted her, saying, "Alright, look, it's all back to normal now, it's fair!"

Fairness my ass! Fairness!

Yan Lingji nearly fainted from anger at those words.

Which pot does not open which pot.

Of course, while blaming Ye Qingcang, Yan Lingji was also blaming herself, blaming herself for acting like a naive young girl who had never seen the world, because her absent-mindedness gave Ye Qingcang an excuse.

However, these are just idle thoughts.

The things that need to be done still need to be done.

Public interests should not be neglected for private gain.

Therefore, more than half an hour later.

Ye Qingcang led Yan Lingji to successfully enter another dungeon outside Xinzheng City, where they encountered the burly Wushuang Ghost who was imprisoned there.

Who are the enemies, and who are our allies?

It's still possible to distinguish between the two demons.

Moreover, at this point, Wushuang Gui was not yet a puppet who was later killed by Gai Nie with a single sword strike and then transformed by Gongshu Chou, losing his humanity.

The Central Plains region primarily practices martial arts.

A very rare cultivation technique.

Or perhaps they take some unorthodox or unethical means.

Referencing Taoism and Yin-Yang philosophy.

The people from the Baiyue region mostly possess supernatural abilities.

It can also be called awakening.

After awakening, one will possess all sorts of incredible powers and even supernatural abilities.

For example, Yan Ling Ji's fire control.

It is the top supernatural power among the many supernatural powers recorded in the Baiyue classics.

The same goes for Musou.

He awakened a head of bronze and arms of iron.

It can also be called steel frame.

In fact, it's the same principle as external training.

The physical training of the Peerless Ghost is exceptionally strong.

It can withstand attacks from top-tier martial artists.

Slightly weaker than Ji Wuye, Mei Sanniang, Dian Qing, and others.

But it's also quite resilient and capable of dealing damage.

Unfortunately, Wushuang Gui is rather slow-witted and has poor learning ability.

In addition, he couldn't understand the written language of the Central Plains.

If only he could eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings.

Let's learn some external martial arts techniques from the Central Plains.

Their future is limitless.

At least he won't be killed by the uncle with a single sword stroke like in the original story.

Therefore, although Wushuang Gui did not recognize Ye Qingcang.

But he still recognized Yan Lingji.

"Come with me."

"Let's go together to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince."

“I need your strength.” “Of course, I must introduce my partner beside me.”

Yan Lingji reached out and pinched, then pulled it outwards.

They then pulled out the iron nail that had been locking Wushuang Gui's collarbone.

These nails are made of special materials.

Although it is called iron nail, meteorite iron from outer space is also called iron.

Therefore, these iron nails cannot be regarded as ordinary iron nails on the market. In addition, since Wushuang Gui's ability is obtained through awakening, not through some kind of physical training, he has no weakness. This is Wushuang Gui's biggest advantage. He doesn't have to worry about being exploited. Therefore, ordinary iron nails cannot even break through his defenses. Any device or object that can lock him here, including but not limited to chains and the outer prison, is all specially made. It can only be said that Emerald Tiger is indeed rich and powerful.

of course.

This also illustrates Bai Yifei's willfulness.

Not everyone has the patience to imprison without killing.

If it were only Yan Lingji who was treated this way, then it would be fine.

Because Bai Yifei had other desires.

But this applies to even the big, dumb guy, Wushuang Gui.

Bai Yifei's willfulness is indeed extraordinary.

From another perspective, it can also be seen as Bai Yifei's arrogance.

He was confident in suppressing these enemies.

Therefore, they were only imprisoned, not executed.

However, excessive self-confidence often turns into arrogance.

Bai Yifei will eventually pay the price for his arrogance.

"As for what you want to know, we'll talk about it on the way."

Yan Lingji snapped her fingers.

Together with Ye Qingcang.

With the peerless ghost.

They stepped out of the dungeon.

At this moment, outside time has already passed to one o'clock the next day.

Ye Qingcang set off around 10 p.m.

I found Yan Ling Ji around 12 o'clock.

Around 1 a.m., they rescued the Peerless Ghost.

"Next up are the Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons."

"Tianze should be imprisoned inside Bloodcloth Fortress."

"But that's not a problem."

"However, Blood-Clad Fortress is, after all, the stronghold of Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis."

"A considerable number of soldiers are stockpiled inside."

"I definitely can't win if I fight him one-on-one."

Ye Qingcang explained truthfully.

The suppressive force of galaxies is different.

Some might say, "They're all star systems, what's the difference?" This is just suppressing combat power. In the Douluo Star System, they can take on hundreds of thousands of people single-handedly, but in the Qin Shi Star System, they immediately become weaklings.

So, here's the problem!

Are the gravitational forces and gravity between stars the same?
I can jump six meters high on the moon.

Can I do that on Earth?
Can I do that on Saturn?
Can I do that on Mars?
say!

Therefore, each planet has its own rules.

Each galaxy has its own rules.

Blood-Clad Fortress houses thousands of white-armored soldiers.

And Bai Yifei's mother.

The grandmaster who has yet to appear.

Someone who managed to escape from Bai Qi's clutches.

It is no exaggeration to attach great importance to this.

In addition, the eight sword masters of Luo Wang are not here. Only Jing Ni is currently under his command. Of course, the sword masters such as Duan Shui have not defected from Luo Wang. Rather, they are cleaning up trivial matters and moving Luo Wang's original headquarters in Xianyang City to Xinzheng in batches.

Many Faceless Men are also doing this.

Apart from the Black and White Xuanjian who have not yet arrived.

His men don't really have many combat-ready fighters right now.

They directly attacked Bai Yifei's stronghold.

The pressure is indeed considerable.

Therefore, someone needs to share the pressure with him.

To put it bluntly, it was a feint attack.

"A feint attack?"

"I'm good at this!"

It was just before 2 a.m. when the rescued Corpse Demon stretched his wrists. Although his face was pale and he looked extremely weak, he was still a Xiantian martial artist, no less than Yan Lingji. Even though he was more focused on control and his close combat ability was weak, similar to the Chao Nu Yao who mainly controlled others, he was not someone that could be easily defeated by a top-tier martial artist.

After retrieving his staff.

He coughed lightly twice.

They didn't mind at all that Ye Qingcang was a stranger.

In other words, the Corpse-Driven Demon has a more open-minded perspective than the average person.

They've all fallen to this state.

Don't worry about whether others are taking advantage of you.

You could even say you should be grateful that you still have value to be used by others.

As for rescuing Tianze...

As a subject.

This is something we naturally cannot shirk.

However, Yan Ling Ji had already resolved the matter.

He wouldn't have to carry any burden.

First, go and rescue our lord, Tianze.

Then, let's discuss what to do next.

On the way to rescue the Hundred Poison King, the Corpse-Driving Demon also overheard Yan Lingji's introduction to him, including Ye Qingcang's identity and intentions, as well as their deal. The Corpse-Driving Demon was not offended by this. He was not Tianze's assassin, nor was Yan Lingji. Yan Lingji had done an impeccable job. Unlike the more extreme Hundred Poison King, he did not think surrendering to others was a shameful thing when it came to life and death.

As long as you don't surrender to the enemy.

We will not surrender to those who have destroyed our country.

Do not betray your old friends after surrendering.

Including but not limited to intelligence.

that's enough.

Therefore, after hearing that the Quicksand and Nightfall behind Ye Qingcang were enemies, the Corpse-Driving Demon also considered joining Quicksand, because Nightfall had destroyed his country and he needed to take revenge on Nightfall.

However, it is too early to say these things now.

Let's rescue Tianze first.

In addition, there is also the King of a Hundred Poisons.

The King of Poisons was once a worshipper of the Baiyue royal family.

The Baiyue people are skilled in the art of Gu poison.

The poison comes from the lineage of the King of Poisons.

The Gu are divided into three lineages. One lineage is the Walking Corpse Sect controlled by the Corpse-Driving Demon. Another lineage is the witchcraft and Gu art inherited by the Baiyue royal family. The last lineage is suspected to have disappeared. However, based on the war pattern of the battle between Nightfall and the Baiyue assassin group, the Corpse-Driving Demon strongly suspects that this rumored last lineage did not actually disappear. Instead, it joined Nightfall. Otherwise, his witchcraft and Gu art would not have been broken so quickly, and his weakness would not have been found so soon.

Although he still doesn't know who the traitor is or has no evidence, that doesn't stop him from analyzing, speculating, and being suspicious of the situation.

"If that's the case, then I thank you."

The Poison King, having escaped his predicament, bowed respectfully.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Moreover, their teammates have already confirmed their identities.

A friend, not an enemy.

The nature of quicksand is currently unknown to the Baiyue people.

But as long as it's against the night.

They, the Baiyue people, will definitely do everything they can to help!

"Next up is Blood-Clad Fortress!"

"Bai Yifei".

"The Marquis."

"And Tianze too!"

Ye Qingcang flexed his wrists.

Looking out at the distant ramparts.

He brought Yan Lingji and the others with him.

Infiltration operations began.

Avoid direct confrontation if possible.

However, there are different interpretations of infiltration.

Large creatures like Wushuang Gui were left outside by Ye Qingcang and the others to serve as a warning. This was a decision unanimously agreed upon by Yan Lingji, Qu Shi Mo, and Bai Du Wang. This was a rescue mission, not child's play, and all factors that could potentially expose them should be eliminated. While considerations of personal relationships were important, they couldn't be taken into account at this critical juncture.
