Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 675, Section 674: Tianze's Escape (Part 3)

To Tianze, the appearance of Ye Qingcang and the others was like a ghost.

Silently.

Without a trace.

Before he could react, he saw several people suddenly appear in front of him.

It's no exaggeration to say that, from Tianze's perspective, Ye Qingcang and the others seemed to appear out of thin air, without any warning whatsoever.

However, for the three experts who followed Ye Qingcang in, namely the Corpse Demon, Flame Spirit Princess, and Hundred Poison King, their experience was slightly better. Unlike Tianze, who was caught off guard and suddenly saw the newcomer, their bodies visibly trembled, making them look comical and ridiculous while bound by chains. But the things they had seen and heard along the way far surpassed those of Tianze, and their shock was not only no less than that of Tianze, but far greater.

Can you imagine that a hole suddenly appeared in the black iron gate in front of you, and the water inside the hole was transformed from black iron? After they passed by, it returned to black iron and looked perfectly intact.

If they practice martial arts...

So, Ye Qingcang is cultivating immortality.

They used martial arts.

Ye Qingcang used magic.

The two are completely incomparable in value, and don't even qualify for comparison.

They thought the secret arts of the Baiyue were strange enough.

Whether it's Gu or poison.

Hard to guard against.

There is no trace of it.

People in the Central Plains region also held this view of them.

They said their witchcraft was evil and heretical.

The insults were even more offensive than those from unorthodox or heretical sects.

Although they had never admitted it before, even if they did admit it in order to understand the methods Ye Qingcang used, they would still be completely unable to understand the underlying principles using their so-called unorthodox methods.

Forget about the principles, I can't even understand the basics.

Take the stretch of road they just came from, for example.

There is a main road in the middle.

Heavily guarded.

The heavy crossbows of the Gongshu family were gleamingly mounted.

Even if the peerless ghost came, being hit by an arrow would leave him either dead or crippled.

The streets were brightly lit.

On both sides of the road are bottomless abysses.

It's obvious that there's no way to get through this road.

How did Ye Qingcang bring them here?

Reaching out, patterns they couldn't decipher appeared in the air.

In no time, a suspension bridge was built!
A bottomless abyss spanning hundreds of meters!

Create something out of thin air!

If this were martial arts, they'd eat that suspension bridge!

In fact, out of sight of others, the Corpse-Driving Demon had already secretly confirmed it by breaking off a corner of a piece of wood from the suspension bridge, biting it, and confirming whether the wood was real or fake.

The result was, of course, true.

They even chewed up wood shavings.

However, even the Corpse-Driving Demon has a sense of shame.

Such things should naturally not be said publicly.

It's even less likely that they would stand up and embarrass themselves.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ye Qingcang's alchemy always involved some consumption. Converting air into wood would consume 10% of his soul power, and converting wood back into air would also consume 10% of his soul power. This was a fixed fee in the conversion process. If there were any losses, the amount of soul power consumed in the conversion would naturally increase or decrease.

Don't underestimate that palm-sized piece of wood.

This is the floating value.

Furthermore, Ye Qingcang possesses many treasures. The invisibility cloaks he temporarily lent to Yan Lingji and the others originated from the Harry Potter world. To be precise, they were modeled after the invisibility cloaks in the Harry Potter world, incorporating various precious materials from Douluo Continent. For example, there were chameleons that could naturally blend into their surroundings, and Snow Shadow Beasts that were one-to-one replicas of humans they had seen, except that the replicas lacked shadows. There were also the bones and fur of soul beasts such as Crystal Fish, which were not found in the Harry Potter world. In short, after these improvements, these invisibility cloaks could now detect the wearer's every move. For Ye Qingcang and some of the people in Blue Tyrant Academy, even if someone stole an invisibility cloak, they could not use it to ambush them unless the outsider who stole the invisibility cloak made secondary modifications to it, making it impossible for them to be unaware of it.

But the words came back again.

Invisibility cloaks all have fixed serial numbers.

The core technology is in the hands of Blue Tyrant Academy.

If someone can modify the invisibility cloak without knowing anything about it, then there's no need to covet it.

You can just build one yourself.

There's no need to overdo it.

Therefore, although the corpse-driving demon's actions were very covert.

He thought no one was watching him chew wood.

In fact, Ye Qingcang had already seen through everything.

Including that piece of wood that had been gnawed on, still bearing teeth marks, which the Corpse-Driving Demon had temporarily kept in his sleeve because he was worried that throwing it down would make a noise and alert the hellish soldier.

Everything was laid bare before Ye Qingcang.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang didn't have that many wicked tastes.

I'm too lazy to expose the corpse-driving demon's idea.

If you turn a blind eye, it will pass.

This saved the corpse-driving demon from the possibility of losing face.

However, to be fair, Tianze's reaction speed was still on point. After a two-and-a-half-second moment of stunned silence, he quickly controlled his instinct to struggle. His gaze swept over Yan Lingji, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Hundred Poison King in turn. Then, using the little internal energy he had left, he transmitted his voice, "Wushuang Gui was left outside to provide backup?"

Don't let Wushuang Gui's dull mind fool you.

In fact, he was also one of the outstanding figures of the Baiyue people.

Including Flame Spirit Princess, Corpse-Driving Demon, and Hundred Poison King.

They are all representatives of branches of the shamanic path.

The Peerless Ghost follows the ancient path of physical cultivation. In addition to his superb magic, the Great Witch also possesses a formidable physique and close-combat abilities.

To put it simply, it's a mage who is proficient in melee combat.

An all-around superhuman.

Therefore, Yan Ling Ji and Wu Shuang Gui formed two major branches: Yan Ling Ji emphasized techniques, while Wu Shuang Gui focused on physical fitness and brute force.

To be fair, the Baiyue people had indeed thoroughly studied witchcraft.

However, besides that, the most important thing is their current identity.

Just like the various schools of thought in the Central Plains.

The Baiyue people also have their own traditions.

For example, Yan Lingji has some talented individuals who are skilled at manipulating the corresponding elements of heaven and earth, but none of them are as strong as Yan Lingji. In fact, in the historical records of Baiyue, there are very few people like Yan Lingji who can automatically burn down a village as soon as they awaken. This kind of awakening is often called innate awakening, and then there is the acquired awakening that most wizards master.

Wushuang Gui naturally also had a group of battle witches under his command.

Full name: Wizard skilled in melee combat.

Although the Baiyue Kingdom was destroyed.

A large number of these wizards were killed.

But looking at the Baiyue region today...

As long as these four leaders step forward.

Even if we don't say many, we can still pull out four or five hundred people.

Even without innate martial artists.

As long as they are willing to join the quicksand.

This is also a significant help.

Because the current strength of Quicksand is still inferior to that of Nightfall, Zi Nu is leading Zi Lan Xuan to deal with Emerald Tiger and his businesses, Han Fei is leading Zhang Liang to fight against General Ji Wuye, and occasionally they have to consider Han Yu, the Fourth Prince, who is also ambitious. Han Yu will definitely not miss the opportunity to benefit from the conflict between the two. Wei Zhuang is leading the Seven Absolutes Hall to deal with the Straw-Clothed Man and his intelligence organization. Hong Lian may not be able to control the Tide Demoness, and may need the help of Hu Meiren. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages.

As for Ye Qingcang...

Bai Yifei, one of the Four Fierce Generals, was his target.

But the words came back again.

After going around in circles.

No one can deal with Ji Wuye's Hundred Birds! Mo Ya is indeed a member of the Hundred Birds.

Bai Feng is the same.

But the hundred birds weren't just the two of them!

In fact, the number of birds is in the hundreds.

They couldn't assassinate Han Fei and his men from the sharpest point.

But if you let go.

They targeted the lower-ranking members for assassination.

Han Fei will soon find himself in a situation where no one is available to him.

Therefore, if the Baiyue assassin group can join, the Hundred Birds will be immediately counterbalanced. This is the best patch before the main part of the Luo Wang arrives, enough to show anyone the balance of power and the neutral camp.

When that time comes, how will the civil and military officials choose?

The outcome will become clear in time.

of course.

It's too early to talk about these things now.

The future is the future, and the present is the present.

In response to Tianze's question, Yan Lingji nodded and used the same telepathic technique that all innate masters possess to transmit her voice: "Wushuang Gui's size is too large, which is not conducive to infiltration. Therefore, after discussing with the others, we unanimously decided to leave him outside."

"You did the right thing."

Tianze nodded.

Then, he looked at Ye Qingcang.

He knew all three of them, including Yan Lingji.

They were all his old subordinates.

But Ye Qingcang was a complete stranger.

Whether out of politeness or out of consideration for the other party's decision to rescue him, he couldn't possibly not greet them: "And who is this friend?"

"Your Highness, this is Young Master Ye."

"One of the founders of Quicksand".

"Quicksand and night are enemies."

"For this reason, he broke into the dungeon and rescued several of us. He then brought us here to rescue you, hoping to become our ally."

"The best course of action is to fight the darkness together."

The Corpse-Driving Demon stepped forward and gave a brief introduction.

The King of Poisons remained silent.

Because he is not born with it.

It cannot transmit sound.

He knows the technique, but his internal strength doesn't yet support his use of it.

However, what the Corpse-Driving Demon said was also quite interesting.

He chose what to say.

Some crucial information was concealed.

In other words, he handed over the right to reveal this crucial information to Ye Qingcang and Yan Lingji, leaving it to Ye Qingcang and Yan Lingji to decide whether to inform the deposed crown prince, Tianze.

Ye Qingcang was not worried about this.

The Baiyue Assassin Group is just a patch.

It is not irreplaceable.

Judging from the current speed at which Luo Wang is moving.

It will take at least two months to move the headquarters from Xianyang to Xinzheng. Therefore, in other words, it means that if Liusha can hold out for two months, it will be about time to overturn the table.

Until then.

Whether Tianze agrees or not is irrelevant.

how?

He, Bai Yifei, can cast a spell on you.

I will control you with the Gu Mother.

Why can't I, Ye Qingcang, do it?
Ye Qingcang is no gentleman.

There are no moral constraints.

Aside from not daring to play with life, there's nothing he wouldn't do. In other words, he even dares to use forbidden techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation, which involves playing with the dead. Threatening Tianze is just child's play for him.

It's just that Ye Qingcang was unwilling to do that.

It's not impossible.

It's not that they dare not.

Therefore, if Ye Qingcang were a little more ruthless, he could resurrect the family members of Yan Lingji who died unexpectedly during her awakening right now.

Of course, he was resurrected in the form of an impure body.

He used this to coerce Yan Lingji into submitting to him.

However, he would rather see a normal Yan Ling Ji than a forced smile, just as he would rather see a normal Hong Lian than try to cultivate Hong Lian into Chi Lian.

If Yan Ling Ji changes on her own.

He won't stop it.

But he would never get involved in this personally.

They will not dominate the process.

Yan Lingji, on the other hand, is even less afraid.

In response to Tianze's question, after the Corpse-Driving Demon gave a brief background explanation, she flirtatiously and seductively said, "Your Highness, he likes me, so before he rescued me, I made a deal with him. If he could rescue Your Highness, I would switch allegiance to him and serve him..."

"Don't exaggerate."

Ye Qingcang immediately saw through Yan Lingji's dishonesty.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Then, he corrected, "Being loyal to me is indeed one of my conditions, but I never said you had to serve me. I do like you, but liking doesn't mean possessing. I hope to see you as you are, naturally. I don't care, since I'm not the one who's at a disadvantage. But don't let people misunderstand what you're saying, so as not to cause you any problems."

Upon hearing this, Tianze roughly understood the cause and course of events.

He knew Yan Lingji's personality.

In addition, he also knew about Yan Lingji's physique.

He wants to mess with Yan Ling Ji.

Even martial artists at the Grandmaster level would fail.

It's only possible if you reach the Celestial Realm.

After all, wanting to devour Yan Lingji would inevitably lead to self-destruction. The extraordinary individuals of the Witchcraft Path are not like martial artists in the Central Plains. Once their internal energy is exhausted or their collarbones are locked, they are completely useless. For details, you can refer to Jing Ni in the original work. When Tian Meng seized the opportunity, even a Grandmaster-level expert was crippled. There is no difference. For a Baiyue woman like Yan Lingji, there is nothing wrong after marriage, but if someone wants to take away her virginity, even a Grandmaster-level martial artist should be prepared to die. This has nothing to do with whether Yan Lingji controls herself or not. Yan Lingji herself cannot change this fact.

Therefore, it's uncertain whether others would dare to touch Yan Ling Ji.

He didn't know.

But he himself certainly wouldn't dare to move.

Besides, Yan Lingji is still his subordinate no matter what.

He's not that depraved.

Some taboos should not be broken.

Like the wives and concubines of a subject.

Those in positions of authority must adhere to the standards of conduct expected of those in positions of authority.

Therefore, Tianze nodded directly and agreed on the spot: "No problem at all. Whether it's serving or pledging allegiance, it's up to you. Anyway, I will definitely release the person. I won't go back on my word, and I won't let my subordinates go back on their word either. As for cooperation, that depends on the sincerity of your Quicksand..."

"no problem."

"In this respect, quicksand will not disappoint you."

Ye Qingcang nodded.

I glanced around at the surroundings.

Changing the subject, he reminded him, "It's getting late. If it's about time, let's begin. The sooner we leave before Bai Yifei returns, the lower the risk. Prince Tianze should be fine, right?"
