Chapter 366: Twenty years of layout, just for the present
When he heard the word "Lu Li", Yi Yun was startled for a moment, and then his eyes became sharp.
Of course he knew who Lu Li was.
Twenty or thirty years ago, a group of outstanding young practitioners emerged at Zhonglu College.
Among them, the two who are recognized as the strongest are called the two proud men of China and the Mainland.
One of them is Nie Yuanfeng, now the number one person in the Central Continent, a federal congressman, and director of telepathy guidance at the Central Continent Branch of the Legacy Academy.
The man who was as famous as Nie Yuanfeng back then could not go far in the end.
After he broke through to the master realm twenty years ago, he was bewitched by the remnants of the Dark Emperor's spirit, causing the Dark Emperor's skull to be left outside. He committed a major crime of betrayal of the academy. In the end, his body was sealed, his mind ball was taken out, and he was imprisoned in the Central Continent.
The ghost tower of the academy never sees the light of day.
Just over three years ago, I heard that a student at Zhonglu Academy was bewitched by Lu Li's spirit, stole Lu Li's mind ball, and then defected from the academy. After escaping from the pursuit of the Legacy Academy in an underground city in the south,
Go to the Free Cities.
Regarding this matter, there is a second theory - Lu Li possessed the young student, and Lu Li's true identity is a member of the Immortal Organization.
Since the Immortal Organization has never acknowledged it, and Lu Li has never shown up, this second theory has been rejected by most people.
As for Zhonglu College, it also remained tight-lipped when it came to Lu Li's questions and never gave a direct answer.
For Zhonglu College and even the entire Legacy College, Lu Li's defection was a great shame and a stain that could never be washed away, so it was understandable.
However, now, Lu Li not only broke through to the Grand Master realm, but also became the number two or three figure in the Shadow Organization, and grandly boarded the Miracle Whale of the Immortal Organization... A chill rose in Yi Yun's heart and he looked at Zhou Yue
His eyes also became complicated.
Zhou Yue smiled back.
Yi Yun was startled, suddenly thinking of something, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Zhonglu College...could it be that back then..."
"You guessed it right." Zhou Yue nodded slightly and sighed: "This is a plan that started twenty years ago. From beginning to end, only two people know the story."
"But..." Yi Yun glanced at Lu Li warily, his eyes changing: "Those who are bewitched by the skull of the Dark Emperor will lose their reason and nature and fall into darkness forever. How can he maintain his reason and go undercover in the shadows?
"
"Indeed it cannot."
It was Lu Li who spoke, and he smiled: "That's why I was deprived of my mind ball, locked up in the Ghost Tower, and kept my soul for twenty years to suppress my demonic nature. It wasn't until twenty years later that a determined young student 'unintentionally
'He took out my mind ball and was possessed by me, but it finally helped me suppress the demonic nature brought by the skull. The subsequent layout can be easily done."
Even Yi Yun, who had reached the halfway stage of the Grand Master realm, was also greatly shocked.
This matter came out of Lu Li's mouth very easily, just like drinking water and eating.
But in fact, he endured unimaginable pain and loneliness for this. In order to completely reassure the shadow and the gods and demons behind him, he imprisoned himself for twenty years. Once he "escaped", he went straight to the shadow, and then
Undoubtedly.
In the world, the only person in the world who knew that he endured the humiliation and burden for this was the same young, vigorous, and far-sighted conspirator - the man behind the scenes of Zhonglu College who imprisoned him in the Ghost Tower, Nie Yuanfeng.
As early as more than 20 years ago, when the seven branches were still fighting for resources, students, and reputation, these two young leaders from Central China had already set their sights on an unpredictable but crisis-ridden future.
They gave up their easily obtained status and power, overtly and covertly, and paid a price unimaginable by the world in order to enter the enemy's interior.
High in the sky, thunder shook and dark clouds rolled.
The side of the giant whale is surrounded by layers of mist. It is not clear whether it is the water vapor in the waves or the vomiting of the giant whale.
Yi Yun looked at the back of the cloaked young man, his eyes as blurry as mist.
After a while, he bent down, bowed deeply to Lu Li, stood up and said, "I have offended many people before. Mr. Lu's foresight and foresight really make me ashamed."
Lu Li turned around and returned the courtesy: "Mr. Yi can understand the way of the great master, and I think he has had a head-on confrontation with gods and demons. I also respect him."
"But……"
Yi Yun showed hesitation and looked at Zhou Yue: "When we return to the Federation this time, no matter how secretive we are, it will be difficult to avoid the observation of gods and demons. Even all parties in the Federation will discover our existence. In this way, Mr. Lu
Don't you want to be exposed? After so many years of hard work and hard work... it would be a pity."
Zhou Yue smiled and said: "This trip to the Federation will definitely not be able to hide from others."
Yi Yun looked puzzled: "But... well, the world should also know who is the real hero."
Zhou Yue smiled, he naturally knew what Yi Yun was feeling regretful about.
Lu Li is now ranked lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people in the Shadow Organization, and he is not far away from receiving the personal inheritance of gods and demons.
Now that it has been exposed, the hard work and efforts of the past twenty years have been in vain.
The purpose of Nie Yuanfeng and Lu Li's plan back then was obviously to wipe out the Shadow Organization, the foundation of the gods and demons left on the earth plane.
"Don't worry. I won't let Lu Li be exposed before the end of this round."
Zhou Yue turned his head, stared at Lu Li, and asked, "My senior, Fang Weitong, is he okay?"
Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly without leaving any trace, the corners of his mouth opened strangely, and his expression and demeanor changed drastically, as if he had become another person.
The smile returned to "Lu Li's" face.
Compared with the previous smile, it was still gentle, but a little more simple.
"Senior Fang." Zhou Yue's eyes flickered.
More than three years ago, Zhou Yue first met Fang Weitong, the city's proud senior student who had returned from Zhonglu College, at the Nanhe City High School Gym. At that time, he was actually possessed by Lu Li.
However, Lu Li did not erase Fang Weitong's mind ball, but kept it with him and shared his body.
As early as that time, Zhou Yue had already vaguely realized that Lu Li, the master who possessed Senior Fang, might have ulterior motives.
"Zhou Yue, long time no see..."
Fang Weitong could not say more than a few words before his face became violently distorted, his eyes blinked rapidly, and his eyes flickered on and off.
After only two or three seconds, the expression of the young man in the cloak returned to calmness, and his face no longer twitched, but his simple smile disappeared and his eyes became deep again.
"Lu Li?"
"Um."
"What's wrong with Fang Weitong?"
"He and I share a physical body. Two or three years ago, we could still maintain a balance. But as I understood the true meaning of darkness and entered the realm of the Grand Master, his sense of existence naturally decreased, and the influence of the physical body on him gradually increased and decreased.
Spiritual thoughts are no longer so close..."
Speaking of this, Lu Li paused, his eyes slightly complicated: "If he continues like this, his mental state will completely dissipate in less than half a year."
"Half a year..."
Zhou Yue murmured in a low voice.
Although this arrangement cost Lu Li more than twenty years of his life, it was also extremely unfair to Fang Weitong, a senior who was born in Nanhe City.
"Then, let's try to end this war within half a year."
Zhou Yue said calmly.
Yi Yun and Lu Li looked at each other, and they could faintly see the surprise deep in each other's eyes.
The giant whale swims extremely fast, shuttling between hurricane fog and whirlpool waves with almost no bumps.
I don’t know how long it took, but the temperature around me dropped sharply.
Frozen water droplets splashed from the waves.
Even the mist condenses into frost.
The chill is biting.
"Um?"
Lu Li cast his gaze into the distance of the foggy waves, his eyes solemn.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Yun also reacted, with a vigilant expression on his face: "Someone is here again."
As soon as he finished speaking, an icy cold breath came across the sea like a landslide and a tsunami, and was already close in the blink of an eye.
Lu Li's eyes flashed, and the thick ink-like thoughts turned into a net, tangled in front of him, blocking the wanton and arrogant ice thoughts.
At the same time, Yi Yun also released the giant shield of telekinesis that was a thousand meters in diameter.
boom!
The violent thoughts were blocked.
However, the bone-deep chill penetrated the dragnet and telepathy shield, covering the back of the thousand-meter giant whale.
In an instant, a thin layer of ice armor condensed on the surface of the giant whale.
The cold is coming.
Lu Li's eyelids trembled.
Yi Yun grinned slightly.
One of them is not using his own body, and the other has just realized the way of the Grand Master. Although the body has broken through the shackles of human beings, it is still a long way from the stage of the body that is invulnerable to cold and heat.
But in front of them, Zhou Yue, standing on the head of a whale, remained motionless, with a calm expression. When the cold air in the sky encountered him, it would either take a detour or turn into steam and rise into the void.
"Okay, but I asked you to go to the polar regions, why are you so angry?"
Zhou Yue's voice was as soft as ever, his chest pocket moved, and his invisible defense was activated.
The chill is gone.
The fog on the sea dispersed, and a few thousand meters away, a girl with long hair, carrying a coffin on her shoulders and stepping on the waves, appeared in the sight of the three of them.
The coldness like the storm came from the girl.
Her hair was covered with snowflakes and ice crystals, and from a distance, it looked like white hair.
"It's so cold out there."
The girl curled her lips, and in a flash, she crossed a distance of several thousand meters and came to Zhou Yue.
Yi Yun looked at the girl carrying the coffin and took a deep breath: "Is this... Shang Ying... the Grand Master?"
Shang Ying blinked, looked at Yi Yun curiously, and then smiled: "Another newcomer who has realized the way of nine transformations? Very good, boy, you will be the one to take charge of this trip to the Federation."
Yi Yun quickly raised his hands and saluted: "That's how it should be."
The "girl" in front of me had caused trouble in the capital's grandmaster descendant family more than two years ago. At that time, she was already at the peak of rank eight, approaching the half-step to the grand master realm.
Now, she has obviously broken through that threshold, and is still ahead of herself and Lu Li in understanding the way of the Nine Revolutions Grandmaster.
It's just a little strange... Although the girl in front of me has a little bad temper, she is still a little different from the rumored senior Shang who is so moody that he can break down.
Zhou Yue caught Yi Yun's surprise in his eyes.
As early as more than two years ago, in accordance with the agreement with Shang Ying, he secretly searched for the descendants of Sun Miao, the great master of medicine a hundred years ago, and helped Shang Ying repair her dual personality in the spiritual world.
On the third day after taking the pill, Shang Ying's white hair turned into black hair and black hair. After that, she achieved it overnight and realized the way of the great master.
As early as a hundred years ago, she had followed Bai Yan and fought against gods and demons. The insights from the past were always there, but they had been suppressed by the struggle between two different spiritual personalities for a long time.
The only regret is that the law of the jungle also exists in spiritual struggle, and only one of the two personalities is destined to remain.
Shang Ying's strong and grumpy personality gained the upper hand, suppressing her depressive personality, and finally made her what she is today - a grumpy grandmaster.
And ever since Shang Ying carried the coffin and stepped onto the back of the whale, Lu Li's eyes had never left.
Soon, Yi Yun also noticed something strange and stared at the coffin.
Zhou Yue said: "The layout of Shadow is the hard work of you and Director Nie for more than 20 years, and it is not yet time to close the net. Therefore, you must not appear in the Federation as 'Commander Lu', that is, Fang Weitong. So.
, I asked Shang Ying to go to the polar regions and take out your frozen body..."
Bang!
Before Zhou Yue finished speaking, Shang Ying had already dropped the coffin.
Lu Li calmed down, his eyes flashed, and the coffin board was opened.
In the coffin, lay a man less than thirty years old, with thick eyebrows like swords, eyes closed tightly, and a majestic air.
There is no thought of the living or the decaying thought of the dead in his body. He is between the two, a simple corpse body.
Zhou Yue stared at it for a moment and suddenly smiled: "No wonder you have to change your body. Looking at your original appearance and demeanor, you don't look like a deceitful and traitorous person."
Lu Li chuckled: "So, people should not be judged by their appearance."
After speaking, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered something.
There were flickering lights and shadows shining from his eyes, and his breathing became swaying, like a candle in the wind that could be blown out at any time.
"Protect him," Zhou Yue said to Shang Ying.
"Hmph, his cultivation level is not much worse than mine, and he still wants me to protect him?"
Shang Ying complained dissatisfiedly. Facing Zhou Yue's gaze, she closed her mouth and made a series of chanting seals in her hands.
A vast and invisible breath of thought rose up and enveloped the "two" Lu Lis at the same time.
The light in the eyes of "Lu Li" who was sitting cross-legged on the back of the whale disappeared, and the swaying thoughts left Fang Weitong's body and got into the coffin.
Zhou Yue, Shang Ying and Yi Yun looked at it at the same time.
Inside the coffin, the ice around the stalwart man slowly melted, and his face, as pale as paper, gradually returned to ruddy color.
There seemed to be lightning flashing between the sea and the sky.
Twenty years later, the man in the coffin opened his eyes again.
His body seemed to have no weight, floating up in the air on the back of the whale. He first looked down at the young body that he had borrowed for three years, and then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Huaya Federation.
"Thank you." Lu Li whispered after a while.
"You deserve this."
Zhou Yue's eyes swept across the three people on the whale's back one by one: "This trip to the Federation, I also ask the three of you to go all out to help me seize that treasure. If this happens, the gods and demons will perish."
The three quasi-grandmasters who had understood the way of nine turns solemnly accepted their orders at the same time.
