Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 188: Yan Luochou!
"This guy……"

"Could it be that he has abandoned his physical body and entered the inner world as a complete soul, and has made the inner world his base?"

Almost in an instant, an unbelievable but seemingly the only remaining answer emerged, which made Xia Ye's heart tremble and began to ponder.

If it were an ordinary situation, this would be basically impossible, because the conditions for entering the inner scene are extremely harsh, and it requires extremely strong "quietness" cultivation. Moreover, since entering with pure soul thoughts, all your thoughts and desires will be further amplified, and if you are not careful, you may fall into it and cannot extricate yourself, so you can't stay for long...

Just like the three old Taoists who comprehended the "Fenghou Qimen" in the back mountain of Wudang Mountain, or "Long Aotian" who went to Biyou Village for treatment in the original plot, they were all unable to maintain their true selves in the inner scene because of their weak minds, and ultimately they could only be deeply trapped in it.

But if it was Qu Tong, everything might be different. The most terrifying thing about "Shuangquan Hands" is its "transformation". It can not only transform others but also oneself, including the "soul" part.

And if you cut off your "desire part" in advance before entering the inner scene, you will have no worries. As long as you don't ask about the secrets of heaven in the inner scene, you will be able to stay there for a long time!

"Um……"

"If this is true, then it is probably really difficult to catch this guy in a short period of time. After all, the secret of the inner scene still needs to be explored, and it is impossible to track him in the inner scene with just this strand of soul thread from the outside..."

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy!"

Up to this point, the clues about Qu Tong were interrupted again, but it was not a complete loss. Xia Ye would explore the interior sooner or later anyway, and then everything would gradually be revealed.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now..."

In this case, Xia Ye did not think any more and immediately took action to deal with the clone and knocked down all of Bi Youlong's men, including the one who was supporting him in the stronghold, thus cutting off this line.

Anyway, when Yu Huadu comes to power, Qu Tong will understand everything. It will be impossible to use the relationship between Bi Youlong and Qu Tong to do anything then. It is better to cut it off now.

Although Qu Tong was still not caught this time, the plan against the company and Zhao Fangxu was successfully completed. With the advance arrangement of Yu Huadu, the six "instigators" were all "subdued" and the whole thing was finally over.

Of course, before being subdued, Xiao Zi and his men had already escaped. What the company captured were only the "dummies" that Xia Ye had prepared in advance, just like the "Danying" before. These dummies all exploded on the way to be escorted, leaving no useful clues.

After this……

Although the matter has been resolved and all sources of information are still blocked, the number of people who witnessed it is so large that it can no longer be stopped, causing the entire company to be extremely anxious.

Not only the company, but calls from higher-ups also came one after another, either asking Zhao Fangxu to find a solution as soon as possible or demanding accountability. The overall meaning was very clear - that is, to make the entire company's top management take the blame!
All of this was as Xia Ye expected. He had already had a countermeasure. As soon as he was about to capture the "dummy", Yu Huadu contacted his superiors according to his arrangement, and he had always supported Bi Youlong's hawkish faction...

While seeking credit for it, he also dropped a bombshell, that is, the person he had arranged to investigate secretly finally found Qu Tong's whereabouts and arrested a person who was suspected to be Qu Tong's real identity.

Of course, this so-called "Qu Tong" is actually the domain-transforming poison himself. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he didn't even use his own avatar. He just wanted it to be realistic!

As for the current "Bi Youlong"...

Just like the "Head of South China Region", they are also incarnations created by him using magic weapons. After more than half a year of practice and comprehension, his soul power is no longer what it used to be, and he is fully capable of controlling these two incarnations at the same time!
They were not worried about whether Qu Tong was real or not. After all, Qu Tong's real body had never been revealed and no one had ever seen it. No one could tell whether it was real or fake. At most, they could tell whether it was a clone or not.

After verifying Qu Tong's authenticity, Yu Huadu will make another substitution, replace his real body with the incarnation, throw him into jail, and throw out Xia Ye's imitation version of "Shuangquanshou Kung Fu", so he can naturally take the position of chairman of the company!

And that’s not all…

……

……

"What? The one who did it was someone from the 'Great Love Project'? How could it be possible?!"

The moment he heard the news, Zhao Fangxu's pupils shocked. He thought that these people were arranged by Bi Youlong and that it was a means that he had been hiding all along, but he did not expect that they all came from "great love".

And then...

"That is to say?!"

He pondered for a few seconds and immediately realized something. This meant that Bi Youlong should have had contact with the "Great Love Project" a long time ago and reached a secret cooperation!

"This guy...how dare he!"

When Zhao Fangxu thought of this, he felt his whole body go limp and his heart was like a rootless duckweed. He knew that he probably couldn't turn the situation around this time, but he was also worried about the future of the company.

As a veteran who has been with the company since its establishment and has served as the chairman for so many years, he knows that the "Great Love Plan" is also a considerable force and that there will be many conveniences if he can cooperate with it. This is not the first time that this matter has been brought up in the company's internal meetings, but he has suppressed it every time. Of course, he has his considerations!

To know……

Although the "Great Love Project" and "Nadotong" are both organizations of the same nature and are both subordinate to the higher authorities, they have different functions and jurisdictions, so they have rarely come into contact with each other, unless something like Chen Junyan happens...

The root cause is that both of them control secrets that cannot be disclosed and must keep them strictly confidential to the outside world. In addition, they are already difficult to manage internally. If another equally large organization is involved, it will definitely breed more and bigger problems.

But obviously...

Except for Zhao Fangxu, everyone else was very optimistic about this, especially Bi Youlong, who had taken the lead in proposing it many times during the board meetings before, and now he was taking advantage of this to defeat him!
He originally thought that Bi Youlong was just acting radically and should still be able to see the overall situation clearly, but he didn't expect that this guy had secretly done such a thing that there was no room for recovery!

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Zhao Fangxu sighed. He knew that he was doomed now. The impact of this incident was too serious. The higher-ups would never let him off...

Of course, he had already made up his mind in this regard when he took over the position of chairman. After all, being in such a position is inherently precarious, and things can change over time. In a deliberate struggle, no one can win forever.

……

……

Compared to Zhao Fangxu's helplessness and dejection, Yu Huadu was in high spirits. He had already received a call from his superiors, saying that he had made a great contribution this time and he could rest assured about taking over as chairman...

The Qu Tong he captured has now been taken over and detained by the company officials. What remains is to confirm the authenticity and interrogate him. Everyone is looking forward to getting specific information about "Shuang Quanshou".

As for the "private soldiers" that he, or Bi Youlong, had secretly trained, the higher-ups did not ask about it. After all, everyone knew that the management of the alien world was complicated and troublesome, and that in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures were needed, such as...

Those "temporary workers" controlled by Zhao Fangxu.

As long as he wholeheartedly maintains social stability and does not do anything out of line, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye to it. They will just give him some warnings from time to time and ask him to pay more attention.

Of course, what the higher-ups are most concerned about is the source of this "news", which is easy to explain. Bi Youlong had previously cooperated with Qu Tong and was well prepared in this regard. Many false investigation clues had already been arranged and could be used directly.

You know, in the original plan of Bi Youlong and Qu Tong, no matter who would take the position in the end, they both had to pass this hurdle, so they arranged it very carefully and made everything perfect, but they didn't expect that it would be intercepted by someone else!
In addition, there is the issue of cooperation between "Nadutong" and "The Great Love Project". This was not actually promoted by Yuhuadu. The two sides had already had many contacts before he replaced Bi Youlong. This cooperation was just a matter of course.

As for Zhao Fangxu's concerns, everyone actually understood, but the biggest problem at the moment was the shortage of manpower and the gap in overall strength. Both the "Nadotong" and the "Great Love Plan" were extremely scarce in terms of high-end combat power. If they could help each other and share what they had, many things would be much simpler.

Moreover, for Bi Youlong and other directors, this was also an important opportunity for them to tear a hole in Zhao Fangxu's "solid iron plate". Once the two sides formally established cooperation, the distribution of power would inevitably be renegotiated. As long as they could gain more for themselves, Zhao Fangxu's "one-man show" era would be declared over...

It is worth mentioning that this is also the situation that the higher-ups hope to see. After all, only "multi-party checks and balances" can ensure the stability of an organization...

The company needs to ensure the balance of society, and the superiors need to ensure the balance of the company. This is why Bi Youlong dares to be so strong.

Therefore, it can be said that:

The game that Xia Ye and Yu Huadu set up this time as "Bi Youlong" can be said to have taken advantage of the "right time", "right place" and "right people". They have all the key factors in their hands. Even if Zhao Fangxu is a centipede with deep roots, there is no way he can break this game!

This is a surprise attack that was planned without intention and was carried out in secret while the enemy was aware of the situation. It is also their greatest advantage now. As long as they stay in the dark, they can always seize the initiative and remain invincible!
"call……"

When everything was settled, Yu Huadu breathed a sigh of relief. Even though his real body was being escorted, he could still use his avatar to enjoy his victory at the moment...

goo goo goo...

He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp while standing at the window.

Looking at where he was now, and the endless stream of people passing by under the French windows, he couldn't help but feel emotional...

I used to avoid this place, but who would have thought that today I can control this place!

moment……

"Hello, I'm done here. Everything went smoothly. How's it going over there? Have you caught Qu Tong?" Yu Huadu contacted Xia Ye.

"I can only say that there are some new clues that need to be investigated. It doesn't matter. As long as we can ensure that you can take the position of chairman of the company, this plan will be successfully completed." Xia Ye responded immediately.

"Well, what should we do next? I mean, after taking over the company, what plans do you have?"

It can be seen that Yu Huadu is a little excited at this moment, and seems to be eager to use the power of the company to do something. After all, he has been suppressed in this ghost place for so long and he needs to vent.

"Regarding this point, the temporary arrangement is to keep our troops in place and develop internal forces step by step. Once everything is mature, we can proceed with the next plan. By then, you can do whatever you want as long as it suits Bi Youlong's style of doing things." Xia Ye certainly knew what this guy was thinking, but now was not the time, so he poured a basin of cold water on him and signaled him not to be anxious.

After this……

Xia Ye made some more arrangements and perfected all the details before he cut off the communication with confidence. He then used "Fire Escape" to gather all the people who were dispatched together...

And so far, their mission was over. After explaining the situation, he put everyone into the space magic weapon and sent them back to their original place. Those who should travel continued to travel, and those who should practice continued to practice. It was like a small episode.

As for Xia Ye himself, he continued to stay in the clinic. He is still the number one doctor in China. In the eyes of the outside world, he still goes out to collect herbs and practice medicine every day. He will not have any connection with this unrest.

At the same time, this is also a good way for him to accumulate favors and a good identity to conceal himself. He does not intend to give up unless one day he is exposed or the time comes when he no longer needs to hide it.

Swish!
In the empty treatment room, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, and Xia Ye, who had just returned from seeing someone off, appeared with a smile on his face...

But it can be seen that his eyes are also full of fatigue. After all, he has done a lot of things tonight. Fighting against the old Taoist priest, tracking down Qu Tong, making arrangements everywhere, and crossing long distances many times, he is already exhausted.

So, after making sure that all the problems had been dealt with clearly and nothing was missed, Xia Ye dragged his tired body to lie down on the bed. No matter for ordinary people or extraordinary people, even the top people, "sleep" is the best way to restore energy.

When he fell into a deep sleep, the true Qi in his body began to circulate on its own, running along its customary Zhou Tian line. Now he has embarked on the "road to the top" and is close to the Tao. Even breathing is a form of cultivation, so sleeping...

It is also a form of spiritual practice!
……

……

that's it……

Xia Ye slept until dawn.

He didn't open his eyes until he heard a "ding-ling-ling" sound in his mind. Then he used his mind to look around and suddenly his whole body tensed up.

Swish!
He sat up from the bed suddenly.

At this moment, the surveillance magic weapon he had set up in the woods outside has been discovered. An old face with white hair and beard and a smile is appearing in the surveillance screen. It seems that he has noticed that the owner of the magic weapon has woken up and started waving his hand to signal.

"Hi~"

"..."

"Old Heavenly Master... you're here so soon."

Looking at the frivolous look of the old man in the picture, Xia Ye was speechless, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

That’s right, the person who visited this time was none other than the old Heavenly Master, and behind him were two familiar figures, one was Zhang Huaiyi, and the other was Tian Jinzhong sitting in a wheelchair. The three oldest people of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion gathered here.

This is no wonder. For the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi, since they had said last night that they would help Tian Jinzhong heal his hands and feet, it was naturally better to do it sooner rather than later. So after taking Zhang Chulan back to the mountain overnight and making arrangements for the confused Ruan Feng, they rushed here without stopping.

Of course, after experiencing a competition last night and guessing Xia Ye's identity, the old Taoist priest also wanted to sit down and talk with him. Since their goals were the same, the sooner the better.

moment……

When Xia Ye was dressed and washed, the old Taoist priest and his two companions had already arrived at the door, and a knock on the door sounded...

Knock knock knock!
"Please come in!"

With Xia Ye's response, the door opened. The old Taoist priest stepped in first, and Zhang Huaiyi pushed Tian Jinzhong in the wheelchair.

As soon as he entered the door, the old Taoist priest smiled slightly:
"Xia boy, long time no see, how are you?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine. You are here for Mr. Tian, ​​right? Mr. Tian, ​​have you... finally figured it out?"

Since a distinguished guest had arrived, Xia Ye naturally would not put on airs anymore. He just maintained the proper etiquette of a junior and asked respectfully.

"Well, I've figured it out. I'll trouble you with my hands and feet!"

It can be seen that now that the three brothers have gathered together again, Tian Jinzhong is in a very good mood. In addition, he had a good sleep last night, and his energy has been restored a lot.

but……

"Ok?"

After just two glances, Xia Ye frowned and found something wrong.

"Mr. Tian, ​​have you felt unwell recently?"

"uncomfortable?"

Tian Jinzhong thought about it and then shook his head.

"Apart from feeling very sleepy, there is nothing else to do. I just had a good sleep last night and now I feel my whole body is unblocked!"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Xia Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi again, wanting to ask something.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw two people winking at him. He immediately understood and raised his hand to greet them:
"Okay, then please help Elder Tian get into the treatment room and let him lie down. I'll get ready here."

He gestured to Zhang Huaiyi, who immediately understood and pushed his senior brother into the treatment room.

Bang!

When the door of the treatment room was closed, Xia Ye showed a solemn expression again and looked at the old Taoist priest seriously:
"Old Heavenly Master, when did this situation start for Mr. Tian?"

He could see that Tian Jinzhong now did not look like he had rested for a night and was well rested, but rather that he was in a state of last breath. The innate Qi in his body was constantly dissipating. If it were not for a mysterious force restraining and supporting him, he would not have been able to hold on until now!

"It started this morning. Sigh... I should have thought of it earlier."

Upon hearing this question, the old Taoist priest sighed immediately. It was his own negligence that almost caused his fellow apprentice to lose his life.

"You also know that my junior brother has been relying on this breath to survive all these years. This is also the reason why he has been able to stay awake for nearly seventy years. But this breath dissipated last night, and it is no longer possible to lock the vitality in his body."

"Yeah, I got it."

Hearing this, Xia Ye immediately understood the situation. Tian Jinzhong had been relying on willpower to survive all these years, but in fact, his body had already shown signs of running out of energy, and his final collapse was only a matter of time.

Last night, Zhang Huaiyi returned to the mountain, and everything between the brothers was resolved during this gathering. All of Tian Jinzhong's past persistence became meaningful, and all his beliefs could be let go. His willpower suddenly relaxed, and all the problems that had been suppressed in his body broke out.

This also explains why Tian Jinzhong was able to persist in the Luotian Dajiao for 15 years in the original plot, but is now facing death after only 12 years. His own will is the key.

Looking back at the original plot of the "Luotian Dajiao", Gong Qing actually did not take the initiative to kill Tian Jinzhong. It was Tian Jinzhong himself who wanted to die because the secret he had kept for a lifetime was dug out. Even if Gong Qing did not take his life, he would not live to see the dawn.

"If I'm not mistaken, you helped Mr. Tian suppress this situation, and he himself is still unaware of it?"

Xia Ye nodded and continued to ask.

"That's right. As soon as I discovered the situation, I suppressed the loss of his innate Qi. Huaiyi also secretly used the 'Qi Body Source Flow'. Now the situation has been alleviated, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent solution."

The old Taoist priest responded immediately.

It can be seen that when it comes to the life and death of his junior fellow apprentice, the old Taoist priest no longer bothers to hide anything unnecessary. He already knows Xia Ye's identity and the general relationship between Xia Ye and Zhang Huaiyi, so naturally he won't be shy about anything anymore.

The same goes for Xia Ye. When it comes to human lives at stake, these unnecessary disguises are dropped. Besides, Tian Jinzhong also had a part in this matter, so he was also extremely frank at this moment!

next moment……

The old Taoist's eyes suddenly condensed, revealing a "request" and "hope" that he had never had since he was born, and his face was also solemn:

"How's it going? Can you save me?"

"..."

Xia Ye was silent for a moment, as if he was carefully feeling his own state, and soon:
"I have to say, this matter is really thanks to you. If it weren't for the competition last night, I would not be able to give you a definite answer today, but... now it's different."

As he spoke, he raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and then turned and walked towards the treatment room. There was no time to waste:
"Even if Mr. Tian really goes to see the King of Hell today, I can still snatch him back. I promise you, you two just need to wait patiently!"
