Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, a fierce look flashed across the face of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. He suddenly turned around, and hundreds of talisman papers flew out from his sleeves, all shooting towards Wodi.
At the same time, he put his index finger and ring finger together, took out a red bead that was shining with a scorching light, and threw it to the ground. The red bead melted into the earth and formed seven chains around it, firmly sealing off the space inside the training ground.
Woody subconsciously summoned the hidden space, but as expected, it failed to open, and he was unable to take out the various super weapons stored inside the hidden space.
However, this space blockade also restricted the Heavenly Palace Master, making it impossible for him to take out equipment from the folded space. Considering that the Heavenly Palace Master's equipment was more complete and more targeted, Wodi did not think that he would be at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Palace Master's plan to deprive him of his means of avoiding harm and then directly blow him to death with a large number of powerful talismans would only expose his own flaws.
Wodi concentrated all his energy and increased his speed to the maximum. He looked at the densely packed spells flying from all directions, and passed through the gaps between them one by one with a dexterity that ordinary people could not understand. He kicked the Heavenly Palace Master in the chest and stepped on the unprepared Heavenly Palace Master to the ground. He gestured twice at his neck with the Dagger of the Abyss, and said triumphantly: "How is it? Did I win?"
The audience was silent for a moment, and then there was an overwhelming cheering.
Zhang San, Mary Sue and the like were truly relieved. While they were glad that they would not be retaliated and killed by the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, they were also thinking about how they could gain greater benefits from this matter.
The subordinates and confidants of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace broke out in cold sweats and clapped and cheered, hoping that their welcome to the new Lord would persuade Wodi to spare their lives.
In addition, there are many people who really think that today's excitement is worth watching. Anyway, it has nothing to do with them, so they just follow the trend and cheer.
...
...
[I understand the reason, but why is the swordsman so excited?]
The cat toy that was finally let out of the small dark room by Woody whispered.
[When you were fighting just now, I was watching her the whole time. She seemed to really want you to win. When the Heavenly Palace Master threw a spell at you earlier, I saw that she seemed ready to help.]
"Don't say that," Wodi said righteously, "I am the master of the Heavenly Palace now, and this guy should be called the former master of the Heavenly Palace!"
[…Is this the point?]
Cat Toy choked in anger.
[And you kicked him down from the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. You still don’t remember his name, do you?]
Wodi, who really couldn't remember the name of the Lord of the Heavenly Temple, pretended not to hear his condemnation and lightly turned back to the previous topic: "The swordsman seems to be too good to me. I think it may be related to the fragments of the Cat God. Hmm, how about doing an experiment?"
Without waiting for the cat toy to react, he retracted the Abyss Dagger that was stuck to the neck of the Heavenly Palace Master, skipped out, and waved happily at Zhang San: "Can I eat the big fat fish now? Take me there!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang San's pupils suddenly shrank and his face showed fear, the scene on the training ground reflected in his eyes - the Lord of the Heavenly Palace jumped up from the ground, holding a big knife in both hands, and slashed at the back of Wodi's head with red eyes - it was too late to stop him now, and both Wodi and the Lord of the Heavenly Palace had not left the battlefield yet. Strictly speaking, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace did not violate the rules. Zhang San's heart sank to the bottom and he closed his eyes in despair, thinking of how the Lord of the Heavenly Palace would torture him to death after the comeback.
There was a loud bang.
The one who fell to the ground was not Wodi, but the master of the Heavenly Palace. The latter vomited blood and looked at the person standing in front of him in disbelief.
The swordsman who blocked a fatal attack for Wodi still had a dull expression. He looked at the master of the Heavenly Palace with disgust and said, "What I hate most in my life is those villains who take advantage of others' unpreparedness and sneak attack."
Woody: “…”
He quietly complained to Cat Toy: "The swordsman is loyal to the son of Satan who killed his father when Satan was seriously injured, right?"
Even so, he still said that he hated sneak attackers the most! How could there be such a double standard person in the world!
[You, you, you! You almost died, do you know that?]
Cat Toy had no intention of complaining with him, and its voice was shaking with anger.
[How can you conduct an experiment like this? What if the swordsman doesn't save you?]
"Sword Master saved me," Wodi knew he was in the wrong, so he chuckled and quickly changed the subject. "This at least proves that Sword Master really wants me to become the master of the Heavenly Palace, or in other words, she wants me to grow up - what is her purpose? The Cat God has guarded the Gate of Hell for thousands of years. Could it be that he has encountered these creatures of Hell in a certain conflict?"
[Impossible, the first floor of Hell is already occupied by hellhounds, these creatures can't get up there at all.]
Cat Toys denied it very firmly.
[They must have other purposes, perhaps they covet the power of the Cat God and want to replace him.]
Woody scratched his ear.
Blind guessing without evidence is meaningless. He looked at the swordsman with a slight gleam in his eyes, thinking about how to dig out the deeper truth.
The swordsman turned around and first glanced at the audience seats that were silent because of the several twists and turns in a few seconds. It was not until everyone applauded and cheered the name of the new master of the Heavenly Palace that he turned around with satisfaction and looked down at Wodie.
Putting a pair of dark red rings into Wodi's hands, she said concisely: "This is the collection of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. Zhang San will inform you of all the duties that the Lord of the Heavenly Palace needs to undertake."
After a pause, she continued, "Don't just focus on eating fish, do something practical and exercise diligently. If you can defeat the other three hall masters together, I will give you a gift."
Compared to the stiff-faced Third Hall Master, Wodi obviously only heard the word "gift". His cat ears stood up and he said excitedly, "Great! I can fight now!"
The swordsman chuckled.
The strength of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace is indeed the strongest among the four palaces, but it is not overwhelming. Although Wodi can defeat the Lord of the Heavenly Palace now, he will still be at a loss when facing the combined strength of the other three palaces.
However, with the cat's speed of improvement, plus the countless resources of the Heavenly Palace, the swordsman estimated that it would only take a month at most for him to defeat the three men without any effort.
Then maybe... the goal that I am about to achieve won't be too far away.
The look she gave Woody was so gentle and lonely, as if she was looking at some grand and distant possibility about the future, which made Woody feel creepy. He subconsciously took a few steps back, and the tip of his tail was all red.
The swordsman then withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked away. When he passed by Zhang San, he paused and looked at him meaningfully.
Zhang San's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He quickly lowered his head and acted humble and cautious, silently crossing out several extreme measures he was going to use against Wodi in his mind.
As for the former Lord of the Heavenly Temple who was lying on the training ground with his life or death unknown, he had already disappeared silently when the sword master opened his mouth to speak. Wodi, who keenly noticed the silver bottle in the sword master's hand, wisely did not ask him whether he was dead or going to be made into a puppet.
Anyway, based on what that guy did to Sufang No. 1 Middle School and the people of Yujia Village, he deserved it. If he wasn't worried about destroying the leopard cat's image, Wodi would have wanted to kill him with his own hands.
He ignored the people who were still whispering in the audience, and was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang San and Mary Su who came over to talk to him with fake smiles. He simply changed into a cat, threw his clothes into the hidden space, and then ran away, rushing back to the Xuan Palace as if he was familiar with the way and went to sleep.
He was so blatantly willful that no one dared to complain. After all, it was too much of a burden to ask a cat to sit in front of the hall and handle affairs seriously, not to mention that this cat was very powerful and it seemed that the swordsman was also protecting him.
After looking at each other for a moment, they sighed to each other and did not care about sleeping. The people in the Heavenly Palace were busy going back to prepare to welcome the new boss, the people in the Mysterious Palace had to re-elect the captain of the elite team and deal with all matters related to Wodie's departure, and the people in the Earthly Palace and the Yellow Palace were not idle either, running around to tell others, dedicated to conveying this fresh and shocking news to more people.
The next day, Woody woke up slowly, left the hiding space, and returned to the warm cat bed. He stretched out his four paws lazily in a big letter shape and meowed contentedly, "It's another peaceful day."
The cat toy rolled his eyes, expressing his disgust at his lying behavior.
[Look up and see outside. There are at least ten people kneeling at the entrance of the Xuan Palace waiting for you.]
Woody shrugged.
It is true that he fought for the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Temple. As an undercover agent, he really needs to firmly grasp the power of the Lord of the Temple in order to make a difference. But how can a cat fight for power on his own? Of course, he needs others to give it to him and beg him to do it!
He licked his paw and washed his face slowly, tidying himself up neatly. He walked out of the hall and glanced at the people waiting anxiously. He decisively ignored Zhang San who wanted to teach him and the leader of the elite team who was holding a notebook and ready to hand over the task to him. He waved his paw and pointed at the person wearing the Tiandian uniform at the edge: "You, can you grill fish? Come with me to the koi pond."
The man was stunned for a moment, and responded subconsciously. Then he reacted and quickly introduced himself: "Hello, Palace Master. I am the captain of the Heavenly Palace Elite Team, Tian Yi."
Woody was slightly stunned, then nodded and said nonchalantly: "Oh, then I'll call you Shu Da. Shu Da, how is your skill in grilling fish?"
Tian Yi: “…”
Wait, why is he called Rat? !
Wodi tilted his head and looked at Tian Yi, who was doubting his life. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his golden eyes narrowed, and he wagged his tail as if inadvertently.
Wodi, who had been in the Biluo organization for less than half a month and had basically only come into contact with people from the Xuandian, was not familiar with the face and title of the captain of the Tiandian elite team, but he was very familiar with this voice - this was the guy who had threatened him at Yan Anqing's house that he must get the news of Lihua within ten days.
He originally thought that he would have to stay in the Heavenly Palace for a few days, slowly come into contact with official duties and members of the elite team before he could investigate the cause of Yan Anqing's incident and intervene appropriately. He did not expect that the clues would spontaneously appear in front of him.
"Big Rat, follow me," he ordered without question, leaping over Tian Yi's head and lying down in a comfortable position, "Let's go catch some fish first."
Now that he has fallen into his palm, of course he must give this guy who dared to threaten Yan Anqing a good beating and avenge his good friend!
