Qing Xunzi didn't want to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point. But the direction of things often exceeded the expectations of the vice president.
Qing Xunzi has always been in charge of Xia Xiao's affairs, after all, there is some connection between them. But who is the person behind this black dragon?
"The Great Wild World."
These four words made Qingxunzi laugh out loud, and in his laughter there was a sudden realization.
"What are you laughing at?"
Even though Qing Xunzi and the vice-president of the Ningshen Academy were both about to become gods, they would certainly not be surprised when I brought up the Great Wilderness World, but why were they laughing?
"I was wondering why you helped it. It turns out you were misled."
"What's the meaning?"
The king was getting more and more confused, but Qingxunzi took a sip of wine and said:
"The consciousness of the Great Wilderness World has just awakened for a year, and has already transformed into human form and roamed the world. How could it be possible that it would allow you to seal Xia Xiao five years ago?"
"Who is that?"
There was no reason for a being of Qingxunzi's level to lie to him, but Wang was shocked. Could it be that he was being used by others? But what kind of strong person could pretend to be the consciousness of the Great Wilderness World in front of the Holy Spring? Could such a being be the same as the two people in front of him? Or even higher?
Wang vaguely remembered that the first time he talked to her was five years ago. He stood in front of the Holy Spring, seeking a way to break through to the eighth level, but a female voice suddenly broke into his mind. She told him that the world of the Great Wilderness had lost balance and that human progress must be restricted, otherwise the wild beasts would die. He then prepared for a whole year before he sealed the person guided by the female voice from a very long distance, making him unable to sense the vitality.
Now it seems that there is still no flaw, because the shadow of a world did emerge in the holy spring. But since then, they have not had any contact. For five years, the king also had some doubts, but he was not sure. For such a thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. But Qingxunzi's vision is higher than his own. He can say such words, which undoubtedly makes the king more confident in his instant judgment.
Qing Xunzi asked back:
"Do you know the tail horn of the wild beast?"
"Know!"
"To the south is the Black Sea, which blocks the black smoke from entering the Great Wilderness World."
"You mean, it's pretending to be the Great Wilderness Consciousness? But with Tanghua Temple here, how can it break in?"
"This is exactly the problem. According to the information shared by Tanghua Temple, the black smoke never broke through before you put down the seal. Therefore, we can only define it as they have accomplices. Think about it carefully and see if there are any clues you can provide."
No matter how much he thought about it, it was fruitless, but the king was puzzled.
"Since you have accomplices, why don't you just kill Xia Xiao yourself?"
"Do you think we are just decorations?"
Qing Xunzi blew his beard and took a sip of wine. This was the best peach wine in spring, given by the vice president, and it tasted better than the wine he usually found. He was greedy for wine, but he never brewed wine, only drank other people's wine. But he was not picky, he could drink rice wine and good wine, but he was more greedy for the latter.
"During the two years you sealed him, we didn't show up, but we were always observing him. Who dares to take action?"
"Then why didn't you stop me?"
The king knew that they were very capable, but he did not want to admit it. Instead, he wanted to find out their omissions. However, Qing Xunzi and others did not make any mistakes.
"You did exactly the right thing. Even if you didn't do this, we would have taken action. On the first day Xia Xiao was born, the traitor reported to King Xia that there were strange phenomena in the sky and earth, and it was feared that someone from afar had come to the world. Although what they said was true, he couldn't be locked up in an ivory tower, as that would only make his path narrower. You hit the mark unexpectedly, and it suited our wishes."
"Then when did you find out that it was me who put the seal?"
If they had discovered it earlier, they would have come to our door long ago. Why did they wait until now?
"I knew it was you when I untied it, but I felt it was more complicated than that. I thought it was a trick of the enemy, so I studied it carefully. At that time, you had not yet broken through the shackles of the eighth level and were hiding your aura, so I couldn't judge it. But when you entered the ninth level and were still hiding here, I was sure it was you. I have to say, I thought too much."
Qingxunzi boasted about himself and glanced at the vice-president. He remained calm, saying nothing and doing nothing. He just watched him chatting with the little black dragon. He seemed to have seen through everything but didn't reveal it. In the whole world, only the vice-president was worthy of Qingxunzi's attention. After all, he, like himself, had seen the real God and received the latter's teachings!
"so what?"
"Hey, kid, why are you going off topic when I asked you to tell me the clues?"
Qing Xunzi's face was slightly red, and he was drunk. But it was not his fault, he was addicted to the wine.
"She just gave me the exact target and never showed up."
"Okay, let's end the chat!"
The vice president spoke for the first time. Although his face was young and tender, his voice was cold and made people feel as if they were in an ice cave for ten thousand years. When he stood up, Qing Xunzi walked to his side, and he felt top-heavy.
"Wait a moment!"
The king got out of bed and stood barefoot on the cold ground, looking anxious.
"What on earth is that black smoke?"
"have no idea!"
The vice president and Qing Xunzi disappeared together, leaving Wang alone. He stood alone for a long time with a complicated expression. Wang always felt that these things were not as simple as he saw. He pushed open the door that had been sealed for five years, drove away the dragon soul, and made it return to the dragon tomb.
The passage was long and deep, and Wang walked through it step by step, feeling extremely depressed. In front of outsiders, especially humans, Wang restrained his emotions. But now that he had released all of them, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He thought the beast tribe had won the favor of the Great Wilderness and could defeat humans once.
Although it is difficult for the wild beasts to return to their former dominant period, as long as they can win back a game and let humans experience the anger of the wild beasts, it would be good. Who would have thought that he finally advanced to the ninth level, but could not change anything, and was instead used by others. This breath was hard for him to swallow!
Walking to the crystal on the top of the hall, the king couldn't feel happy at all.
"Are you disappointed for the beastmen, or for yourself?"
This was the female voice from five years ago, but in Wang's ears, there was no holiness or mystery, only endless hypocrisy. Since she pretended to be the Great Wilderness's consciousness to deceive him, it was really a hateful and mean act!
"You showed up right after they left. You're so bold!"
"Don't be so serious, we are not enemies."
"Are you related to the black smoke?"
The king wanted to defeat humans, but anyone who was related to the black smoke outside the Black Sea was an enemy! Although he lived deep in the Wild Beast Forest, he knew that those guys were targeting the creatures of the entire Great Wild World. Therefore, he could not retreat!
Standing firmly on both feet, Wang was ready to fight at any time. Since she could show up under the eyes of those two people, her strength must be equal to theirs. In this case, she was still no match. Wang's sharp pupils were full of spirit, not revealing her previous injuries, but looking around, even with the strength of the ninth level, it was difficult to perceive the fluctuations of vitality. What kind of existence could be so traceless?
"Yes! It's related."
"Are you its follower?"
"Strictly speaking, it's descendants."
The female voice was less pure and holy, and more charming, as if she was unwilling to pretend anymore. But what did the descendants mean? The king didn't understand.
"We are both beastmen, are we going to go in opposite directions?"
This statement was of great weight, but the king angrily rebuked:
"You have caused the beastmen to suffer, yet you still dare to call yourself a beastmen?"
Wang was calm. If they were really from the same beast tribe, why did she let him seal Xia Xiao? If she was the Great Wilderness Consciousness, this would barely work. After all, the Great Wilderness Consciousness was just consciousness and could not have any ability. This was how Wang understood the Great Wilderness Consciousness, although it was not true. And she was looking for him, wasn't it just to attract Qing Xunzi and others' attention?
Fortunately, Qing Xunzi is very skilled in Taoism. If they had just started the massacre, the beast tribe would have been in trouble. Now that she is back, the king must catch her with his own hands!
"I'm telling the truth, but you're ignorant. You call yourself the king, but you don't even know the history of beasts."
The strength of the ninth level can change the world in an instant. At this moment, Wang Shen's mind moved, and half of the wilderness was scanned by it, but he did not find the owner of the female voice.
"It's useless. The ninth level is just this level. Don't indulge in that meager power."
Clenching his fist, this was the second time Wang was hit today. Even if the ninth level was not the limit of wild beasts, just like the human realm, there shouldn't be so many strong people like that!
The king was a little annoyed, but the female voice continued:
"Don't worry, let me tell you a story that will overturn your views on the Spiritual Contract and the world."
Wang did not sense any hostility and fortunately he suppressed the fluctuations in his body.
"If you lie to me or confuse me, even if my strength is inferior to yours, I will find you and crush your bones!"
As the woman clenched her teeth and made her fists, she laughed softly, which was heartwarming, but Wang didn't buy it.
"The last time I came to you, I just wanted to see your strength and ability. Since then, you have been in seclusion, so it is not good to disturb you, but you are indeed strong enough. So you deserve to know these things!"
Wang frowned and listened to her slowly. But the more he listened to this story, the less it seemed like a historical story, because it was full of horror elements. He found it difficult to accept the content, and even dared not to accept it, but such things really existed.
Thousands of miles away, Qingxunzi and the vice president stood on the bright and round moon, and turned back almost at the same time, sensing the aura released by the beast king. They hesitated, considering whether to go back. The little black dragon would not release such a strong aura for no reason. Could it be that he knew he was deceived, so he got angry? Qingxunzi thought it was possible.
"Forget it, let's go! A warning is enough."
"I cut down all the peach blossoms on the mountain and brewed ten jars of wine. I gave you eight jars. How much have you drunk?"
"I didn't drink much, burp~"
Qing Xunzi hadn't been drunk for a long time, so long that he had forgotten whether it was three hundred or four hundred years. But this wine was indeed delicious, which made him curious.
"That girl must have gone through a lot of trials to be able to brew such wine, right?"
"Just now."
"That's right! Her joy is in the wine."
"What's it to you?"
Looking at his wine gourd, Qingxunzi shook his head, as if sighing. The fine wine in it will be finished sooner or later, just like the moon, which has changed a little after ten thousand years. He mumbled hesitantly, saying:
"I haven't improved my strength in ten thousand years. Once I tasted the joy in the wine and recalled the past, I became drunk naturally."
The vice president didn't like Qingxunzi's lazy nature, otherwise, he would have to call him senior. Shaking his head slightly, the vice president left, leaving Qingxunzi lying on the enlarged palm leaf fan, sleeping with the moon as his pillow. No matter what happened, let's talk about it after we sober up. How drunk can one be in life?
