Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 697, Section 696: Turning the Hundred Birds to the Side (Part 1)

"Is this the end?"

outside the house.

Jing Ni couldn't help but look at Ye Qingcang.

Having never experienced love, she cannot understand it.

Therefore, in her opinion, Wei Qianqian alone was far from enough to restrain Hei Bai Xuan Jian. Ye Qing Cang should use some other methods, such as imprinting some mark on Hei Bai Xuan Jian like he did on her before, so that he could take Hei Bai Xuan Jian's life in an instant. Only in this way could it be considered truly secure.

It cannot be said that Jingni's idea is wrong.

That's not entirely accurate.

It's not her fault.

Because she lacks the necessary prerequisites to interpret this matter.

Perhaps the character in the original story would understand.

But this is not the original story.

There is no "maybe".

However, in Ye Qingcang's view, this was already enough. So, after hearing Jing Ni's question and understanding her meaning, he shook his head and reassured her as he walked out, "He's a smart man and knows what he should do. Most importantly, Wei Qianqian is also a smart man and knows what she should do as well, so I don't need to worry about her anymore..."

Jingni nodded thoughtfully.

Although she still couldn't understand.

But since Ye Qingcang has said so...

With confidence.

She had no choice but to believe.

After all, even if she didn't believe it, she couldn't turn back and ruin the whole thing.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Ye Qingcang is the true leader of the Luo Wang.

All she had to do was follow orders.

No need to think too much.

There's no need to question it too much.

However, she still has the authority to make decisions on certain minor matters.

"act recklessly!"

We left the courtyard.

Didn't take a few steps.

Jing Ni noticed something was wrong.

His gaze was focused inward, landing on a shadowy spot.

His palm unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword.

A sword aura was unleashed, sword intent erupting like a giant whale breaking through the water, slashing towards the person in the shadows with unparalleled momentum, pinning the person in place, life and death hanging in the balance.

"All right."

In the end, it was Ye Qingcang who spoke.

The sword intent then disappeared.

However, while sword intent may disappear, sword energy may not.

However, as long as the sword intent disappears, it is enough for the person hiding in the shadows. At least it provides him with room to maneuver, rather than being hard-controlled. For a master of lightness skills, what he fears most is never the opponent's skill damage being too high, nor is it any area-of-effect attack, but rather being controlled.

Whether it's soft control or hard control.

Weakness represents one's own operational limit.

For those who are eccentric about mechanics.

This is a fatal flaw.

Therefore, after losing the hard control of the sword intent, a figure immediately darted out from the shadows, narrowly avoiding the sword energy that was almost touching his face after the hard control, and landed on an open space in front of Ye Qingcang and Jing Ni.

The sharp sword energy continued to fly.

Until half of the branch was cut off.

It flew into the sky.

Only then does it end.

To be honest, this master of light-body skills is very clever.

They did not continue to hide in the shadows.

They weren't standing on high ground either.

Unfortunately, intelligence has nothing to do with ability.

Faced with absolute power, the image of this master of lightness skills was already shattered by the sharp sword energy. Like a half-dead crow, he was panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Jing Ni, and even the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly.

The feeling of having one foot in the grave is truly awful.

Even if you finally take that step.

It's enough to give someone a moment to calm down.

As a martial artist of innate talent, Mo Ya considered himself knowledgeable and experienced. Although he couldn't defeat Ji Wuye or Bai Yifei and the others, his prized lightness skill certainly allowed him to escape Ji Wuye's grasp and even gave him the confidence to escape from Bai Yifei. However, after choosing to flee, his destination became a problem. Ji Wuye would undoubtedly pursue him relentlessly. There was certainly no place for him in Han. Going to other countries was possible, but without a registered residence, he would be completely undocumented. This was all thanks to Shang Yang. If Shang Yang hadn't implemented the household registration system in Qin, it would have been easy for him to flee to another country. Although Shang Yang himself eventually died because of this, having been arrested for not having a household registration, the fact remains that he can no longer exploit loopholes. Furthermore, innate martial artists have specific requirements for their clothing, food, and shelter, even grandmasters. It is said that only martial artists at the Celestial Realm can abstain from grains. Therefore, no matter where he went, his ultimate fate would be death. That's why he didn't flee, not because he was truly unable to escape.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and say...

There's also a net.

Ji Wuye would absolutely not mind spending a few hundred or a few thousand gold coins to post a bounty on Luo Wang, and Luo Wang would absolutely not mind taking on the job.

No matter how you calculate it, he has no chance of survival.

They can only be controlled by others.

It's not that his lightness skill was inadequate.

You'll get caught red-handed.

Therefore, from the perspective of the past, Mo Ya did not think that Grandmasters were very strong. Indeed, Grandmasters could break through the defenses of Ji Wuye, who had mastered the innate external martial arts, and could fight hundreds of armored soldiers with a single sword. They could establish their own sects and recruit many disciples. Even a great general like Ji Wuye would have to show them respect. You should know that Bai Yifei, who had the backing of a Grandmaster mother, had forcibly taken away most of the military power from Ji Wuye. In fact, he had taken away the most elite field army and border troops. If a real fight broke out, Bai Yifei would have an absolute advantage. But no matter how strong a Grandmaster was, he could only kill an individual. He could not fight against a country alone. As long as he dodged fast enough, even a Grandmaster would not be able to kill him. The so-called artistic conception was only to restrain those novice martial artists. Against a seasoned veteran like him, it was not only ineffective, but at the very least, very weak.

But at this moment when he faced the master.

He then realized just how arrogant he had been.

How ridiculous my own ideas are.

The master's intent is not something that a martial artist with innate martial arts can break through with killing intent. This thing has touched the instinct. Just like a human being controlled by instinct when facing a ferocious beast and unable to move, or like many creatures instinctively playing dead when facing an insurmountable danger. Unless a martial artist has the intent in advance, there is no way to resist the master's intent.

This is a difference in quality.

Mo Ya clearly does not possess this quality.

Otherwise, he could have negotiated with Ji Wuye like Bai Yifei did.

Regaining freedom is easy.

It may be difficult to gain power.

However, Ji Wuye would never offend Mo Ya, who possessed the intent of a Grandmaster, to the point of no return, nor would he be so confident as to believe that Mo Ya could not harm him.

To put it bluntly, the essence of the Grandmaster's intent is to influence reality with one's spiritual power, to influence others with one's own spiritual power, to stir up their emotions, to make them empathize, and thus to make them die without them even realizing it.

When a person is focused on doing something.

They will naturally ignore everything around them.

This includes, but is not limited to, the environment and people.

Decreased attention span.

The master's intention was to utilize this principle. Then, by timing it perfectly, before the opponent could react, he would kill them, regardless of whether the opponent dodged or not.

Therefore, Mo Ya was very clear about it.

If it weren't for the man on the other side speaking up in time...

At this moment, he must be a corpse.

Therefore, he had no right to be proud; on the contrary, he should be grateful. Even though the female grandmaster who had just attacked him and the man whose strength he couldn't fathom were clearly in cahoots, he deserved it. After all, this was the territory of the Luo Wang. Unless they were completely unaware, the Luo Wang would relentlessly hunt down any intruders who were discovered.

Let alone him, a member of the Hundred Birds Club.

Even Ji Wuye.

They will also be hunted down by the Grandmasters summoned by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

This is the bottom line for an intelligence organization that also operates as an assassin organization.

The same reason.

This is also the bottom line for assassin organizations among all intelligence agencies.

Even if it means destruction.

We will never turn a blind eye to it.

However, before Mo Ya could speak, the man who had just called for a halt, Ye Qingcang, who was standing a step in front of Jing Ni, spoke up and said his name: "I know you. Your name is Mo Ya. You are a rare intelligent being among the hundred birds, possessing self-awareness. Unlike the other members, you have no intention of rebelling against Ji Wuye. Your infiltration here was probably not Ji Wuye's idea, but rather to find a way out for yourself. I'm sure I'm right, aren't I?"

"really."

Mo Ya nodded.

He answered respectfully.

He was not flustered at all that his name and code name were known to the other party, nor did he find it strange or inexplicable.

The Net is the number one assassin organization in the world.

It is also the world's number one intelligence organization.

This is a recognized fact.

No need to question.

Don't forget that his identity isn't top secret. Many people in the upper echelons of South Korea have seen him. Furthermore, the Straw-Clad Man's intelligence organization has certain connections with the Net. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known that behind the robbery of Emerald Tiger's caravan, besides Quicksand, there were also traces of the Net. Because of this, the Net also knows some information about the Straw-Clad Man and some information about Nightfall. Naturally, he, as the leader of the Hundred Birds, wouldn't be overlooked. Even if his identity is top secret, the Net could still confirm his existence through some unexpected means, unless he has always been alone and has had no contact with the outside world, in which case the Net wouldn't know.

Therefore, it was not difficult to guess his purpose.

Ji Wuye didn't have the guts to start a war with Luo Wang.

Even if he did have it, he wouldn't be so reckless.

Sending him here to investigate would only alert the enemy.

Ji Wuye may be power-hungry and lustful, but he is capable. If he were just a fool, he could not have become a general, let alone become so cunning and ruthless that even a cunning old fox like Zhang Kaidi could not do anything to him in just a few decades.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

If it doesn't fly, it won't fly; but if it does, it will soar into the sky.

Therefore, if Ji Wuye is truly determined to fight Luo Wang to the death, he will inevitably send his entire army. He might even find an excuse to bring over Bai Yifei's White Armor Soldiers and the army outside the city to suppress the city and wipe out Luo Wang's strongholds one by one. Even if Luo Wang has all sorts of tricks up its sleeve, it will only be riddled with arrows under the overwhelming rain of arrows. Even if a Grandmaster takes action, it will be the same.

After all, South Korea is not the State of Qi.

South Korea is famous for its powerful bows and crossbows.

They were no less capable than the Qin and Zhao armies in archery duels.

Although they are relatively weak in other aspects, anyone who thinks that the Korean army is a pushover will suffer a great loss. The seven Warring States of this period were not weak. Even the relatively weak Yan state could crush many tribes on the grasslands. This situation was only alleviated and changed when Modu Chanyu appeared in the Xiongnu. In short, in the present day, the Korean army is still quite powerful.

Therefore, he must have come for his own sake.

They could only be here for their own sake.

"This is not the place to talk."

"Come with me."

Ye Qingcang led Jing Ni forward.

The black crow habitually hides in the shadows.

They followed Ye Qingcang to another small courtyard.

The Net has many strongholds.

Xinzheng was also the core of Luo Wang within the territory of Korea, used to control all Luo Wang strongholds within Korea, so its configuration was naturally complete.

To be fair, Mo Ya is quite skilled at sneaking in.

If it were any other innate martial artist...

They might die before they even get in.

"Qian Sha's strength is still a bit lacking."

"Replace it with Hei Bai Xuan Jian."

"It shouldn't be so easy to track us now."

"By the way, how did you get your eye on him?"

After taking his seat, Ye Qingcang quickly figured out why Mo Ya had infiltrated the place. Only this explanation could explain why the usually cautious Mo Ya would take such a risk. However, given Qian Sha's disguise skills, Mo Ya should not be able to detect him. If Qian Sha did not make a mistake, Mo Ya's presence here might indicate that a third-party force had intervened, wanting to completely throw South Korea, especially Xinzheng, into chaos, the more chaotic the better, and cause continuous losses of manpower.

This practice is not uncommon.

Taking a personal approach, Guo Kai and Li Mu are examples.

Since it is impossible to conquer the Zhao state from the outside.

The only solution is to find one from within.

First, let the Zhao state self-destruct, and then we can sweep it aside.

It's similar to the Rongguo Mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber.

Tan Chun's feelings at the time were absolutely correct.

If we look at it from the perspective of the state, the Zheng Guo Canal is a prime example.

The Zheng Guo Canal was originally intended as a strategy to deplete the Qin state's resources, aiming to drain its people's strength and future potential, forcing Qin to recuperate and gain twenty years or more of peace. However, some problems arose during the implementation of the strategy, and instead of achieving its intended effect, the canal was actually completed, transforming the land into fertile fields and creating a powerful rear area for Qin.

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

But the outcome is not considered.

Let's just talk about the strategy itself.

Both methods reduce the threat by creating internal friction.

So, right now, who most wants Nightfall and Quicksand to fight each other?
It must be the Qin state!
Zhao's actions were truly extraordinary.

Although the aristocratic families of the Chu state were complex.

The State of Wei lacked any ambition.

Both bordered the Qin state.

However, this does not mean that they would destroy their own defenses, create a breakthrough for Qin, conquer Han, open up channels, and allow Qin to annex them one by one, thus completing the hegemony of unifying the world since the Zhou Dynasty.

However, the Qin state currently desperately needs to find a breakthrough.

The so-called eastward journey from Hangu Pass was completed.

They are using the method of creating internal strife to weaken South Korea.

This lays the groundwork for future military deployments.

This is absolutely the most normal thing to do.

Therefore, he had no choice but to be cautious and take precautions to prevent the state of Han from falling into a trap, where the two sides fight and the third party benefits, allowing the state of Qin to gain a huge advantage and be defeated at the root.
