Chapter 571 Attacked!
"Of course—you can kill the gods, so why can't I kill the Imperial Master?"
When Fa Shi said this, he looked very serious and as if it was a matter of course.
It seemed as if he was really sure.
However, judging from the existing intelligence, the "national teacher" of the Hunter Clan is a guardian of the country. Moreover, he definitely holds the Hunter Clan's mythical soul card in his hand. When he is in the Great King's Court, he can draw on the power of the card. His strength is far beyond that of an ordinary guardian of the country.
There are rumors that the national teacher can be absolutely undefeated in the Great King's Court... The Hunter Clan is in seclusion, so this rumor cannot be verified, and it is unknown whether it is true or not.
In short, the national teacher is very strong, this is beyond doubt.
"Excuse me," Yu Cang said, "What's your level?"
Fa Shi: "Level seven."
"That's it." Yu Cang nodded.
Fa Shi is still very young, and he has reached level seven at this age. He is either a genius, or he is eager for quick success, and he hastily advanced to the next level before his two coefficients have been raised to the limit.
No matter which one it is, it is difficult to win against an opponent of the mythical national level.
However, it’s hard to say.
"You don't believe me?" Fashi looked at Yu Cang, "Or are you still worried that this is just a trap set up by the Imperial Master and me?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang smiled.
This possibility does exist.
The Imperial Master faked his death, and then launched a surprise attack when Fashi took Yu Cang to see Emperor Khan.
To be fair, there is no need for the national teacher to use such means in the hunting tribe's own territory, but what if they just like to play this trick?
But it doesn't matter.
"Of course not." Yu Cang said, "We will wait and see."
He didn't make any promises, and his attitude was very clear - wait until you really kill the national teacher, then we'll talk about it.
Even if this is really an encirclement, it doesn't matter, or rather, it's better.
Yu Cang has many tasks on this hunting trip, but the most important one is to provoke the God of Wilderness to take action personally!
Therefore, they are bound to come into conflict with the Grand Court and the Imperial Master.
It would be great if the other party came to you on their own initiative.
Fashi also smiled: "You won't be disappointed."
At this moment, Qiu Jindong, who had been silent since a while ago, suddenly spoke up: "Then, what do you want us to do?"
"Um?"
"You provided us with intelligence and took the initiative to kill your imperial teacher. So, what is your plan?"
"My plan?" Fashi's expression changed slightly. "Of course... to awaken Changsheng!"
Qiu Jindong: "...The relationship between the Yan Kingdom and the Hunter Tribe is still unclear. We cannot help awaken a myth that may be a hostile relationship."
When they took action this time, they had no intention of getting along with the hunters in a friendly manner. They were already prepared for the matter to escalate and for the two countries to go to formal war.
Judging from the few records available, "Changsheng" is not a good person. There is a high possibility that he will be an enemy after being awakened, so the association is naturally unwilling to take the risk.
However, facing Qiu Jindong's rejection, the smile on Fashi's face suddenly became strange.
"Donor... do you really believe that I can awaken Changsheng? Or, do you really believe that after all these years, Changsheng still has the possibility of being awakened?"
Qiu Jindong frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I know that you Yan people don't believe in the religion of immortality. You have your own myths." Fashi clasped his hands together. "In your view, immortality is just a myth. It's impossible to live more than three thousand years, let alone be immortal. My identity as a reincarnated Lingsui is just a religious means, nothing more... right?
"The real Changsheng must have died long ago, but the ideas he used to rule the Hunter Tribe were passed down from generation to generation, and even became the Changsheng Cult today... That's probably what you think, right?"
Qiu Jindong: "...this doesn't sound like something a believer would say."
"certainly."
"Since you know that immortality doesn't exist, why do you still try to awaken it?"
"No, no, no, you've got one thing wrong." Fashi said sternly, "It's you who don't believe in Changsheng, not me. As Changsheng's master and the current spirit, it's my natural responsibility to awaken Changsheng... I think you can understand me, right?"
Qiu Jindong: "...I understand."
Do you know that gods don't exist, but still choose to believe in them?
Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong pondered for a moment and said, "Then how do you want us to help you?"
"It's simple—I'm confident in awakening Changsheng, but the Imperial Master is preventing me from doing so. On the day of the sutra recitation, I need you to ensure that I remain at Lingguang Mountain and will not be disturbed."
"Not to be disturbed? But aren't you already able to kill the Imperial Master?"
Fashi smiled and said, "Since you know that the National Master is from the Desolate Sect, then you should also know that the National Master is just a chess piece on the table."
"Help you fight against the Desolate Sect? As you can see, there are only seven of us. We can't do it, and there's no need to do it."
"You will." Fashi seemed very confident. "To dare to bring a genius like Yu Cang deep into the Hunter Clan, you must be doing more than just gathering intelligence. You must also have hidden tricks... If my guess is correct, you didn't intend to just stay quiet on the day of the Scripture Recitation, so...
"Helping me attract more firepower from the Desolate Sect should be a piece of cake, right? Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Desolate Sect didn't allow me to awaken Changsheng, so you should have been helping me!"
After Fa Shi finished speaking, Qiu Jindong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, he turned his gaze to Yu Cang.
Yu Cang nodded immediately: "Okay, we agree."
Fa Shi’s guess was indeed correct.
This time, if they want to provoke the God of Wilderness to descend again, they must make things so big that all the power of the hunting tribe cannot handle it.
In this way, Fashi's actions coincided with theirs.
Upon hearing this, Fashi seemed relieved. He clasped his hands together and said, "Immeasurable and eternal life! I am here to thank all the donors."
"Alright." Qiu Jindong said, "Let's get in the car... We've rested enough, we have to continue on our journey."
They didn't have the luxury of spending the night peacefully in the God-Wrathed Wasteland.
We must get out of the God-condemned wasteland before dawn.
…
The group returned to the armed chariot.
Tai Chu and Gu Jieshuang still closed their eyes and snuggled together. Gu Jieshuang's brows were tightly furrowed, and it seemed that she might not be feeling well in that unknown space.
Yu Cang did not disturb them. He took Fa Shi and sat in the last row. He and Wen Ren Ge flanked Fa Shi on the left and right, and Lou Yan was also next to them.
Buzz!
The chariot's engine roared, and the trail of its headlights sped along the ground in the night.
In the back seat, Yu Cang was playing with a blank soul card in one hand, and said nonchalantly:
"Could you please tell me how you plan to kill the Imperial Master?"
“It’s not very convenient.”
"What about the method to awaken Changsheng? Can you explain it?"
"The donor will know when the time comes."
"Tsk." Yu Cang curled his lips.
He turned his head and saw that Fa Shi's face looked a little ugly.
His lips were pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he managed his expression very well and did not show any ugly expression. He still looked very calm.
"Do you want me to help you unlock the lock of absolute pressure?"
"Thank you." Fashi immediately stretched out his wrist.
"Answer my question first."
"...Then I'd better be patient for a while."
"I think as partners we need to be more honest with each other."
Fashi raised his wrist and said, "I am also sad that you are still wary of me."
"Could it be that you are using some shady means?"
"It's just that I can't stand the light of Yan Country."
"Oh?" Yu Cang's expression changed slightly.
The Soul Card Master environment of the Hunter Clan...is indeed very different from that of the Yan Country.
He had already understood this when he had chatted with Lou Yan before.
The Hunter Tribe has been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and their Soul Card Master system has developed quite abnormally... It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is primitive.
Lou Yan was not old enough to become a soul card master, and the national teacher who controlled everything did not give Lou Yan the education he deserved, so he did not know much about anything outside the Great Royal Court.
Just from what he saw and heard during his escape, we can get a glimpse of the bloodiness involved.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Hunter Clan's current Soul Card Master system is a card-banning system!
There are nine accounts of longevity, and each account has a strict hierarchy. The lower levels need to pay longevity taxes to the upper levels, otherwise, they will become material for making cards for the upper levels.
Fa Shi said that the methods he used were some that Yan Guoguang could not stand… so, the probability was that his card would be banned.
Is Fashi a card banner?
Not like... He doesn't have the aura of a card banner.
However, it only takes a moment for a normal Soul Card Master to degenerate into a Card Ban Master.
“…Then I understand.”
National conditions are different. In the hunting tribe, using banned cards is no big deal.
So, Yu Cang turned and said, "As the current spiritual year, you should be very familiar with the current Desolate Sect, right?"
"nature."
"Then you..." Yu Cang paused, then said, "Have you heard of a name called 'Yu Shuhong'?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Fashi's expression changed slightly.
He seemed to realize something and turned to look at Yu Cang with his eyes widened.
Seeing this, Yu Cang's breathing suddenly stagnated: "What do you know? Quick..."
boom!
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted on the side of the car body. Immediately afterwards, Yu Cang felt dizzy and his whole body was surrounded by a feeling of weightlessness!
how……
"Enemy attack." Du Yanran's voice reached my ears amidst the chaos. "Hold on to the handrails."
Buzz!
The engine noise suddenly increased, Du Yanran swerved the steering wheel, the ammunition consumption rate increased dramatically, and he finally managed to stabilize the car in mid-air!
A virtual road was formed under the tires, and the chariot did not land on the ground, but flew forward directly in mid-air!
Yu Cang steadied himself, looked out of the car window, and his expression suddenly changed.
Three wild beasts...are they all super-level heirlooms?
The earth had turned into a soft "ocean" in the explosion just now, with the soil churning endlessly, mixed with some strange power, which made Du Yanran dare not land.
clang!
The sound of the King's Sword erupted on the roof of the car. The phantom of the Demon King had solidified and was fighting with one of the wild beasts. For a moment, energy burst out from time to time, deafening!
"Those wild beasts know how to ambush and cooperate." Du Yanran's face was solemn. "We were only discovered when we were very close... Someone is controlling them!"
The expressions of everyone in the car changed at the same time. Yu Cang suddenly turned his head to look at Fashi, and Fashi's face also showed visibly panic.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't know... I don't know anything!"
"I'll settle the score with you later."
Yu Cang snorted coldly and leaned forward to the front seat, ready to wake Tai Chu up.
With three super-level heirlooms, if someone were still controlling them, Qiu Jindong would probably not be able to cope with it since he couldn't exert his full strength.
Tai Hina must take action...
However, before Yu Cang could say anything, he saw a gust of wind blow off Tai Chu's hood, revealing her flawless face in the moonlight. She had no expression on her face, but the red light in her eyes kept flashing, as if countless sword lights were flowing in them.
"I won't do anything."
Yu Cang was stunned: "But..."
"She is experiencing a sudden enlightenment. If we stop now, it will damage her foundation."
Yu Cang: "..."
He lowered his head and noticed that Gu Jieshuang's frown had relaxed at some point. She lowered her head on Tai Chu's shoulder, and a strange aura permeated the surroundings.
"I understand." Yu Cang took a deep breath.
"Untie me." Fashi said at this time, "I can help."
Yu Cang's expression turned cold: "Just stay still."
"That wild beast up ahead is the Shenshan Dragon Elephant. I've seen it before. It's Salang's wild beast." Fashi spoke rapidly. "Salang is the second son of the Imperial Master. He was promoted to the Guardian of the Nation last year... With the wild beast's help, you can't win!"
“…Wen Renge, keep an eye on him.”
"OK."
Yu Cang took a deep breath, said no more, stretched out his hand, gently used the car window for leverage, and jumped out of the window.
Qiu Jindong was limited by the venue and couldn't give full play to his strength. Du Yanran had to maintain the chariot and couldn't take action either... He was the only one left.
Fashi frowned: "What are you doing... You are only a level six soul..."
Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed.
Click!
The moment Yu Cang jumped out of the car window, the two soul cards were activated!
Disconnect five Soul Cards, including Epic Spell Cards, directly from the Deck to enable Direct Link Summoning.
[The Ether Realm is Coming]!
Five rays of light rushed out from Yu Cang's card box and crashed into the anchor ring that suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, the figure of Jieying Youlong swam out of thin air, caught Yu Cang in mid-air, and brought Yu Cang to the roof of the car!
Qiu Jindong's expression changed: "What are you doing up here?"
"I'll help."
The wind on the roof was very strong, and Yu Cang held on tightly to the anchor ring of Jieying Youlong to avoid being blown away.
After standing firm, without hesitation, Yu Cang slapped the card box, and two soul cards came out. Before he could reveal his figure, he and Jieying Youlong turned into a torrent of information and crashed into the new anchor ring.
link3, World Shadow·Resident!
A strange giant snake appeared out of nowhere, and its anchor point locked onto Yu Cang and the chariot under his feet.
Suddenly, Yu Cang felt that the resistance in front of him was reduced, and the speed of the chariot increased a lot.
The resident's [Travel] allows the connected target to move in any medium, including the air!
That’s not all.
Buzz!
Jieying raised his head and let out a melodious whale cry. Then, he opened the anchor ring and activated [Resident Authority]!
The area within the anchor ring is not affected by the site effect!
The resident with only three anchor points cannot cover a very large area, but it can still cover the autumn and winter.
The look of autumn changes quietly as winter approaches.
Yu Cang immediately said, "Qiu Zhenguo, Jieying can't hold out for much longer... Can we make a quick decision?"
Qiu Jindong showed a barely perceptible smile on his face: "That's enough."
