The Eagle King fell to the ground and was reduced to pieces; has the Skinny Monk risen to power?
The leader of the Wu clan was killed, and the leaders of the other aristocratic families signed indenture contracts.
When teams of puppets arrived at the scene and presented the Thin Monk with stacks of indentures, it solidified the Thin Monk's position as the leader of the seven great families.
The skinny monk flew confidently to the top of the fortress and waved his hand: "The Eagle King has rebelled and has been executed. All departments shall guard their gates strictly, and all mission procedures shall remain unchanged."
That's it?
Shouldn't it be a sweeping reform?
Almost all the witnesses were puzzled, including Zheng Ya and his wife, who couldn't figure out what the seven great families were up to.
After finishing their business here, the two returned to the main hall of the Four Harmonies Fortress. Before they could even sit down, they received a text message from Prince Ning: "Are you keeping poisonous snakes at home?"
Where?
"Catch him! I'll buy chicken and soybeans and make a pot of nourishing soup." Zheng Ya also felt like he was raising a venomous snake, but he just couldn't catch it!
Is that thing really edible?
Prince Ning said he had never eaten it: "Do human puppets need to cultivate?"
"Human puppets are new forms created by fusing and mutating the five elements components of battle puppets. Theoretically, they only need to replenish the energy consumed by the five elements components, so they have nothing to do with cultivation, right?" Zheng Ya realized something and spoke the truth.
After all, the puppet was a product he created, so he has the most say in the matter.
Prince Ning changed the subject: "You brat, you used your special ability to create this new human puppet."
Are there any special abilities that allow puppets to advance to the next level?
"Father-in-law, is it time to transfer the money?" Zheng Ya would be stupid if he still couldn't understand!
The Prince of Ning sent a message with unusual seriousness: "All talk and no action is useless. Are you even capable?"
"Twelve men in one night, four trillion ready." Zheng Ya was furious and started the betting.
Xu Qi looked at him with a strange expression. "Are you out of your mind?!"
Prince Ning was so angry that he cursed, "You brat, you may have the ability, but I don't have the money. Don't even dream about it."
Let's be realistic, having too high a quality ability isn't always a good thing.
"Are you afraid that I'll rise to prominence and become a phoenix, leaving you all out of the picture?" Zheng Ya did indeed harbor thoughts of ascending to the top in one step. Wouldn't it be better to have the evolved mutants captured by the higher-ups of the Tower of Babel and enjoy a life of luxury?
Working here with you guys is a waste of time and a huge loss.
Time is life!
Prince Ning pretended to be dead and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Seeing that he hadn't received a message from Prince Ning and looked disappointed, Xu Qi laughed and said, "Don't even think about living off a woman."
Isn't it better to be self-reliant and have plenty to eat and wear?
"I'm so tired." Zheng Ya felt mentally exhausted. Xu Qi knew what he was thinking: "The venomous snake is Wu Wei, right?"
“The problem is that this snake can only be kept as a pet.” Zheng Ya naturally guessed the hint from Prince Ning.
The reason it is compared to a poisonous snake, rather than a sparrow or a fisherman, is because there is a deeper meaning behind it.
The venomous snake lurks in the grass; that is her home.
Furthermore, Wu Wei's power was already established, possessing over ten thousand puppets, who were also capable of cultivation, signifying her meteoric rise.
Zheng Ya can't eliminate her even if he wanted to.
Wu Weisheng was born at odds with the seven great families, and later she secretly undermined them, which benefited Zheng Ya and the Prince of Ning's faction.
Therefore, Wu Wei's existence is of extraordinary significance.
With Wu Wei around, the seven great families cannot cause any trouble.
But keeping snakes can backfire!
Xu Qi said with a solemn expression, "If I had known this would happen, you should have brought Wu Wei to justice..."
"Stop talking, she'll never be my type." Zheng Ya knew what she wanted to say: if Wu Wei really got pregnant with his child, they would be family?
However, the greatest harm to humanity often comes from one's closest relatives.
An ungrateful wolf that can't be tamed will only ever be a wolf; it will never be human.
Or rather, Zheng Ya and Wu Wei had very different ideologies.
Wu Wei is powerful, domineering, and single-mindedly pursues the top, resorting to any means necessary.
Zheng Ya is refined, serene, and unrestrained, pursuing the Tao with a heart devoted to helping others in this life, emphasizing the fulfillment of love and righteousness.
The two were destined to be on different paths.
Xu Qi looked helpless: "So we're just going to keep her like this?"
"Ah, Mr. Dongguo, the new version." Zheng Ya could imagine what his future would be like with Wu Wei, and gave a bitter smile.
Could it be that Wu Wei was unaware of this situation?
Or perhaps she deliberately had her puppets hunt down energy core cultivators, revealing something in the process.
Demonstration, or cooperation?
That depends on what you think!
But in the end, the warning Wu Wei gave was that you could only watch and do nothing.
Otherwise, if she went mad, she could easily command over ten thousand puppets to annihilate the seven great families and the Ning Prince's lineage, ending their lives together.
The key point is that Wu Wei represents an individual and cannot be considered a member of the Wu clan.
A concubine's daughter is just a plaything, worthless in the first place.
The authorities cannot hold her accountable; they will only hold Zheng Ya accountable for inadequate supervision.
This is the most critical issue.
Don't say that Wu Wei's actions are causing internal divisions within humanity and are no different from those of demons.
From Wu Wei's perspective, he was also working hard for cultivation resources, which was not wrong in itself.
Wuwei's current stance of not initiating a war is tantamount to making a concession.
Her choice to remain hidden was a way of telling Prince Ning and Zheng Ya that her goal was to rob the seven great families and monopolize the hunting resources in this part of the starry sky.
It is both an open scheme and a conspiracy.
By employing a two-pronged approach, they controlled Zheng Ya, the Prince of Ning's faction, and the vital points of the seven great families, thus becoming the biggest winner.
Zheng Ya felt like she was working for her as a star inspector, and Xu Qi felt a little sorry for her: "Is her ability really that special?"
"Hmm, it seems that at first it was a soul split, but later somehow it refined Shengxiang's true spiritual abilities into its own."
It's likely that Wu Wei's soul split into two, with one of them refining Sheng Xiang's body and taking its place. This caused her splitting ability and true spirit to merge into one, resulting in a mutation. The specific effects are unclear. Zheng Ya was not unaware of Wu Wei's situation.
However, the specific details are unknown.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
The two have been fighting for so long that they know each other quite well.
Xu Qi thought of something: "So, Wu Wei can turn pseudo-spiritual treasures into true spiritual treasures, possessing the ability to turn stone into gold?"
How should I put this question?
Pseudo-spiritual treasures also have the potential to evolve into true spiritual treasures, but no one has found a way to achieve this.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the story of the Tower of Babel marking people to search for spiritual treasures in all the heavens and myriad realms. "Zheng Ya said this, but his heart skipped a beat, and he felt terrible.
With such a special ability, wouldn't Wu Wei be able to fly?
Seeing his belated realization, Xu Qi stroked his cheek tenderly and said, "Did you think of her hidden identity?"
“If that’s really the case, what am I?” Zheng Ya felt a sense of desolation. Xu Qi shook his head and laughed, “Honey, I think you’re too pessimistic. Why not the third possibility?”
Perhaps!
In short, it now appears that some people's dead end has been revived.
"Which point in the game I am is yet to be determined." Zheng Ya felt as if his fate was sealed the moment someone picked up his piece and pressed it down.
