"My lord?" E's beast stood up and looked at Wu You's hand.
Wu You raised his hand to stop it from saying anything more, his face expressionless.
"White Eagle is dead!"
E'shou Wang Fugui frowned.
Both the white eagle and the creature were created by Wu You, and in terms of human relationships, they were like brothers.
Of course, the feelings between alchemical beings also vary in closeness and hierarchy; they are not all truly brothers.
But the death of the White Eagle also had a huge impact on the Evil Beast, which was also an alchemical life form.
"Is it a Blood Dragon?"
Wu You nodded.
"That beast is more troublesome than we imagined. It's difficult to shake it without the help of silver-level combatants."
The beast squinted, its eyeballs rolling around in their sockets.
"Then what if we incite the martial arts forces of this world to launch a siege, while we launch a sneak attack from behind?"
Wu Youshen's eyes lit up slightly before dimming again.
"The martial arts forces in this world aren't stupid; they can't be easily instigated. They're all shrewd people."
He thought of Lü Shengyang, the original Wang Fugui, and also of Qingluo Shou and Tiejianke, who were not actually stupid.
"My lord, actually, at this stage, the ones most concerned about the Blood Dragon flood are not us, but..."
"The Ying Clan!" Wu You said aloud what the E's beast had left in its mouth.
The Qin Dynasty was still unstable and desperately needed the support of the people.
Regardless of whether the blood dragon was alerted because Wu You entered the Eastern Realm.
At this time, the Blood Dragon Calamity was a disgusting troublemaker for the Qin Dynasty, stirring up the waters of the people's hearts that were about to calm down.
"After all this time, the imperial court will probably have to take action soon," Wu You said softly.
"The Lord is right. While the Lord was inspecting Jiulu, blue-clad riders had already entered the Liu family manor outside the city with an imperial edict."
Wang Fugui's flattery carried a hint of obsequiousness.
While stability was of utmost importance to the Ying clan, it also had a significant impact on some prominent families and sects in the Central Plains, especially those located near the Tiansha River.
The Liu family was no exception; their intervention was inevitable. Although the Blood Dragon was powerful, it was driven away in history, though it was not killed.
Two hundred years ago, that blood dragon probably hadn't even reached the silver level yet.
But what does this have to do with Wu You? He only needs cannon fodder.
Wu You thought that if his side wanted to get involved, he needed a reasonable entry point.
If the various forces really besiege the Blood Dragon, they certainly won't allow strangers to roam the perimeter.
The word "retainer!" popped into Wu You's mind.
With a thought, a soft, silver-white mask appeared in his hand.
Mask (Silver-tier rarity item).
Let's get a convenient identity; this is the first alias I'll create in this world.
He put the mask on his face.
Hint: Please describe the character design.
Something resembling an alchemical drawing board appeared in my mind, but it was much simpler, though the method of use was probably similar.
A moment later.
The person who appeared in front of Wang Fugui was a middle-aged man who was slightly taller and thinner than the original Wu You.
There was a silver-white hairline in the middle of his dark sideburns on both sides.
His slightly weathered face was wrinkle-free, and his indifferent eyes seemed to have seen everything in the world.
She gathered up a section of her long, black hair streaked with silver.
"Hairpin".
Wang Fugui hurriedly ran downstairs, and when he returned a while later, he had two jade hairpins, three silver hairpins, and two gold hairpins in his hands.
Wu You casually picked up a jade hairpin and stuck it in her hair.
It complements the Confucian scholar's robes that fit him fairly well.
A handsome, weathered-looking man with his hair tied up in a bun, long hair cascading down his back and sides, deep eyes, and a free and easy demeanor appeared.
"It's still a little short," Wu You muttered.
Usage Permissions: Demon God's Power
Choose the medium of ability: Qiongqi Moke.
A wave of oppressive energy emanated from Wu You and vanished in an instant.
In an instant, the demeanor of this handsome middle-aged man, who had originally resembled a learned scholar, changed drastically.
It was eerie and awe-inspiring, exuding an evil aura, its gaze both restrained and captivating.
Combined with his weathered appearance, he was clearly a mysterious and highly skilled master of unorthodox arts.
Even Wang Fugui was momentarily lost in thought when he looked at Wu You.
"Wang Fugui, tell me, if I, the Evil Daoist, go to the Liu family and wish to participate in the Blood Dragon Battle, will I be qualified?"
The voice was eerie and cold, seemingly possessing the power to stir emotions.
Wu You had wanted to do this for a long time, and Qiongqi's ability could make up for his lack of experience in martial arts.
Being able to perceive desire is, in a way, a form of prediction, and a phantom.
He tried using walking.
His movements were ghostly, with a hint of black smoke. He was clearly visible, but until he arrived, it was impossible to determine Wu You's location or direction.
Very good, let's go to the Liu family today to find out when they plan to make their move.
The martial arts in this world are quite interesting. Although Wang Fugui can collect some, the high-end ones cannot be obtained with money.
...
Twenty miles outside Leping City lies the vast Liu Family Manor.
Thousands of people of the Liu family lineage and related individuals live inside.
As a prominent family that has survived for hundreds of years, the Liu family not only has extensive influence, but also produces many talented individuals.
His retainers were also many talented and extraordinary individuals.
This is not the Warring States period on Earth; many of the so-called "three thousand retainers" are just scoundrels.
This is a world where ability, skill, and hard power speak for themselves.
In ancient times on Earth, it would have been a pipe dream to quell the chaos and bring peace to the world in nine years, but it was possible here. The true masters here possessed strength that was almost like immortals or demons in the eyes of ordinary people.
The role they could play was enormous, and the army was practically an organized samurai legion.
The Ji clan collapsed completely after all its top experts perished.
At this moment, in the back room of the main hall in the center of the manor.
The current head of the Liu family, who was over fifty years old but still full of energy, sat at the head of the hall, with several elders and senior members of the Liu family sitting on either side.
Some of the younger family elites stood to one side.
They had just finished discussing whether to send someone to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Blood Dragon, and who should be sent.
The result is that participation is necessary.
This involves the entanglement and comparison between top powers, while the hearts of the people, though elusive, are sometimes very important.
As for who to send, there must be someone at the Innate level, and a top expert to oversee the mission.
Anyone below the top-tier level definitely wouldn't be able to get past this.
However, even though the Liu family is a large world, they cannot casually send their elites on dangerous missions.
There's a difference between taking on trials in the martial world and dying.
So, apart from a few experts emerging from the Liu family bloodline, the remaining spots will naturally be filled from among the retainers.
You cultivate customers for a thousand days, only to use them for a single moment.
...
Several burly family warriors stood guard at the gate outside the manor.
The Ying Clan made no attempt to conceal the fact that various forces were gathering to encircle and annihilate the Blood Flood Dragon.
Firstly, it can reassure the public; secondly, it also carries a certain meaning of coercing various forces.
Recently, many self-proclaimed experts and independent individuals have come to join the fight, claiming to possess martial arts skills.
However, not many men actually caught the eye of Lady Liu.
"Hey! Look over there!" one of the Wu Ding pointed to a path in the distance.
Soon everyone's attention was drawn.
A figure was approaching eerily in the distance, appearing to be moving slowly.
However, the group was quite skilled, and they could all tell that the speed at which the other person was moving forward was abnormal, at least faster than when they used their full movement techniques.
