Volume Two, Chapter Fifty-Seven, Killing Two Birds With One Stone
Seeing that Chen Songyan didn't find anything unusual, the phantom Li Yukong took a deep breath in his heart.
This phantom Li Yukong was disguised by Zhou Jiang. After Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang made plans, they did not act rashly. Instead, they secretly observed Chen Songyan's every move through the mini golden eagle.
In order to explore deeper, Bai Liming also used the natal spiritual object - the picture scroll, to cast a spell so that the mini golden eagle can detect ordinary magic circles and illusions.
From this, I discovered Chen Songyan's behavior pattern. He had been carefully following the two of them not far away, and would set up camp to rest at night. During this period, he also took out a copper stove to contact the founder Li Yukong.
Therefore, as night approached, the two of them laid a trap in advance on the mountainside depression on the road behind, which was the most suitable place for camping and repairing.
This trap was also set up using the scroll of Bai Liming. As a natal spiritual object, it is more hidden and has no means of attack, so it will not arouse the spiritual vigilance of the cultivators.
The biggest use of this trap is to directly interfere with Chen Songyan's soul and pull him into a dream-like illusion. Therefore, Chen Songyan's true state at this time is still sitting cross-legged in meditation and has not contacted Li Yukong.
Because Bai Liming wanted to use all his strength to transform his natal spiritual being, he could not be distracted. The two of them planned the induction problem in advance and asked Zhou Lai to pretend to be the founder Li Yukong and talk to Chen Songyan.
At this time, after Bailiming heard Chen Songyan's words, he quietly sent a message to General Zhou:
"Now it seems that Chen Songyan is indeed here to track us, and from the fact that he directly gave up the investigation of collusion with demons and barbarians, the Patriarch attaches great importance to finding the whereabouts of Sui Xing."
He said somewhat sadly:
"This also verifies my guess. The Patriarch made this arrangement just to kill Sui Xing."
Thinking of the power of the Patriarch and the power of the Taoist sect, and they were just two low-level cultivators and demons, General Zhou said with some worry:
"Baili, what should we do next?"
Then he changed his mind and said with a fierce look on his face:
"How about we let Chen Songyan stay here forever, and then pretend that he was attacked by a demon and died? For example, this way we can get rid of this annoying tail."
Hearing this, Bai Liming was a little moved in his heart, but in the end he shook his head gently. After all, as a fellow sect member, he still didn't want to do too much.
Moreover, Chen Songyan is just a chess piece, a tool, and a poor person. If you kill Chen Songyan, the Patriarch will send Wu Songyan, Zhang Songyan again...
He would even come in person, arrest Bai Liming directly and interrogate Sui Xing about his whereabouts, which would be even more troublesome.
Therefore, it is enough to create some accidents so that Chen Songyan retreats or cannot be traced.
Thinking of this, he said to General Zhou:
"There is no intention of killing him. I think it is better to let him use his remaining energy to destroy the camp where he was detained and sold, and use the monsters to chase him and drive him away. This will kill two birds with one stone."
"Okay, wonderful, this method kills two birds with one arrow!"
General Zhou clapped his hands and praised. Then he followed this idea, smoothed out his thoughts, organized his words, and controlled the phantom Li Yukong to speak to Chen Song:
"Well... although it is important to track down Bai Liming, we cannot turn a blind eye to the camp where the alien beasts are imprisoned. Although we can't see any conspiracy behind him, there is no doubt that this move is definitely aimed at the Taoist sect.
In response to the great earthquake."
"If their plan is not destroyed, there will be endless troubles."
Speaking of this, Phantom Li Yukong waved his hand, as if he had made up his mind:
"Chen Songyan, go and destroy the camp formation now, release those strange beasts, and destroy Yaoman's plan. Even if you can't eradicate Yaoman, you can at least delay the advancement of Yaoman's conspiracy."
Hearing this, Chen Songyan was stunned on the spot and responded in a low voice with some disbelief:
"But, Patriarch, will this delay the pursuit of Bai Liming?"
The virtual shadow Li Yukong waved his hands nonchalantly, showing a confident expression, and raised the corners of his mouth and said:
"There will be no delay,"
Then he said with some hints and lessons:
"You need to use your brain more. Now you go back at night, quickly destroy the camp's magic circle and then rush back. One night is enough time. How can you delay tracking Baili Ming?"
Chen Songyan fell into silence for a while, feeling in his heart that what the patriarch said made sense.
He thought that it was feasible for him to return to the camp at night. After all, he had already walked the road back once and was very familiar with it. There would not be much danger, so he would not waste too much time on the road.
But what he was worried about was that he was still afraid of delaying the important task of tracking Bai Liming. He would not get any rest this night, and he would have to use all his strength to cause destruction.
In this way, he did not have enough time to recover his mana. The thin spiritual energy in the Northern Wilderness caused excessive mana loss. If he continued to track the lively Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang in a tired state, the future would be very difficult.
It's getting harder and harder.
There are many dangers in the Yuxu Mountains. The practitioners do not dare to fly with swords and can only walk on foot. This is because the wind of extinguishing magic appears strangely in the mountains from time to time, interrupting their spellcasting, resulting in
It fell from mid-air and was smashed into pieces, even its skin and flesh were torn apart.
1For a time, he was in a dilemma.
Seeing that Chen Songyan was still hesitating, General Zhou decided to add more firewood to put some pressure on him.
I saw him controlling the phantom Li Yukong, and said with an unhappy expression:
"Chen Songyan, you have to understand your current situation. You need to make more achievements so that you can gain a foothold in the Taoist sect."
Hearing this, Chen Songyan was shocked. The hard work and heavy pressure over the past few days almost made him breathless.
Facing the rebuke to his ancestor, he suddenly felt a burst of boredom, like a dam about to burst, and he couldn't help but let out the torrential flood that had been suppressing his heart:
"Grandmaster, if this disciple completes the mission and finds Sui Xing, when will he succeed to the position of Lord Yang Chengxing after returning?"
Hearing this, the phantom Li Yukong's pupils dilated and he suddenly fell into silence.
At this time, the controller, Zhou Jiang, was immediately shocked by the news and almost couldn't control his expression. He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, which was a sign of weakness.
Baili Ming Wenya was also full of surprise, but soon understood the hidden meaning.
After all, to make Chen Song obey his words and give up his allegiance, the Patriarch needs to offer huge benefits, and although the promise of inheriting the position of Star Lord is a bit big, it is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Baili Ming quietly sent a message to General Zhou, asking him to calm down and follow Chen Songyan's words in the next step.
With the direction in hand, General Zhou finally stabilized his mind. He pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"Your realm is still too low. You also know that the requirements for the realm of each palace star king must at least reach the perfection realm. How long do you think you can achieve it?"
Chen Songyan was stunned again when he heard this, then showed doubts on his face and said cautiously:
"But, Patriarch, you promised that as long as I complete this task, you will use the power of the soul in the Kaiyang Cauldron to help me break through to the state of perfection."
He was confused and said:
"Could it be that I am currently in the late stage of True Realm and cannot be improved through the Kaiyang Cauldron? Do I still need to wait?"
