Chapter 704 The Art of Staged Accidents and the Difficulties of Queuing
Before coming to the Immortal Palace headquarters to take up his post, Wang Yu had heard many rumors about the Immortal Palace, and had been treated unfairly when he went to the Primordial Thunder Pool and the Dragon Transformation Pool.
From a probabilistic point of view, the probability of being discriminated against is as high as 100%. It was actually within his expectations that he would encounter such a thing at the entrance of the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department.
only……
The fact that these three people did such a crude job, especially in public, is simply suffocating.
Moreover, their life force was extremely young, clearly indicating that they had been tricked and were being used as pawns to test them.
Those who show off before will suffer the consequences.
I don't know what those demonic predecessors did, why they were hated and antagonized so much, and why they did such a crude job. I always feel that they had many schemes involved.
Wang Yu had absolutely no intention of participating.
Since Yuan Xiang was willing to be the first to speak up and represent them, let him go ahead. While pondering, Wang Yu's true form transformed into a wisp of demonic energy and disappeared into the clouds, just like a cicada shedding its shell.
They bypassed the three blocking the road and headed towards the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department. The body they left behind was a divine clone created with over 30% of the "Taiyin Law - Soul Source Dao Fruit".
Although he was unable to perfectly embody the terrifying talent of the ancient star god after seizing the Taiyin Star God's ancient corpse, it still brought about tremendous changes to Wang Yu.
In his hands, the Great Dao of Taiyin was like a child clinging to its mother; it used to take many years to develop techniques like the "Taiyin·Soul-Suppressing Moon Plate".
Now, he easily comprehends the laws and transforms them into techniques similar to Dao traces and divine abilities. The divine power clones he leaves behind are exactly the same as his original body, and no one has noticed anything amiss.
at the same time.
Just as Wang Yu chose to retreat and secretly plot, Yuan Xiang and Zhou Wusheng were ridiculed by the three cultivators at the peak of the Void Refinement stage.
Especially Yuan Xiang.
After a few cackling laughs, he said, "According to you gentlemen, demonic cultivators are not allowed in the Immortal Palace? Shouldn't they hold positions there? Are the three of you trying to divide the human race? What... exactly are your intentions!"
With such a heavy accusation, it can only be said that Yuan Xiang truly deserves her reputation as a prodigy among demonic cultivators. She is quite skilled at manipulating words, and such a counterattack would surely have been too much for most people to handle, forcing them to back down.
However, the three people who were tricked into becoming the knife were also of extraordinary status.
One of them said.
"Hehe, anyone can put a label on someone! I am the Star Envoy of the Exorcising Demons Department of Immortals and Demons - Douxiao Division. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, you demon, in terms of rank, you, a mere inspector, are under my jurisdiction."
"We three brothers merely stopped you to ask questions. Based on your behavior just now, it can be classified as offending your superior, making false accusations, and harboring disloyal intentions that could harm your superior. I can cast you into the Heavenly Prison, where you will never be able to escape!"
broken……
Wang Yu's clone no longer cared about concealment and directly dispersed into the power of Yin. The snake woman sisters, who were already a few steps apart, also quickly retreated.
This is something they all know very well.
If a demonic cultivator says something is outdated, there's a 98% chance he'll become enraged and attack. And when he attacks in anger, he'll show no mercy and aim to kill.
In their minds, at worst they would betray the Celestial Palace rather than put up with this nonsense. Those with powerful backers would be protected by the Celestial Venerable, even if they didn't participate in the affairs of the Celestial Palace.
They could also go from the open to the shadows, continuing to serve the human race, but without connecting with the mainstream cultivation world, turning the "massively multiplayer online game" into a "single-player game" isolated from the world.
People like Zhou Wusheng, who have no background, will also take action, and may even be more ruthless, because this will force them to side with the foreign race.
after all.
Without the protection of a Celestial Venerable Master, betraying the Immortal Palace is tantamount to betraying the human race. The chances of a demonic cultivator who has emerged from the ranks of rogue cultivators defecting after this incident are extremely high.
If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!
This is their simple and unpretentious idea.
Demonic cultivators are unpopular not only because their power forms are rather wicked and they often produce indiscriminate killers, but also because of their easily triggered tempers and inability to tolerate the slightest provocation.
Wang Yu had previously suspected that the three people were being used.
His identity is not simple.
If something really happened, it might implicate him, so he decisively disappeared. Better to die than lose his own friend. But he also noted down whoever was plotting against him, and they would get their revenge sooner or later.
Let's return our attention to the scene.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but it was only a fleeting moment. This was Yuan Xiang, the guy who called himself the tenth prodigy of the younger generation of the demonic path.
He was reckless, unlike any orthodox demonic cultivator.
With a wave of his hand, countless runes appeared, sealing off the space, and transformed into a giant hand of Yin runes, which slapped hard at the trio blocking their way.
The Dao traces within surged, revealing a murderous intent.
Above the heads of those three, each had a celestial seal manifesting. These were the [Celestial Pivot Ghost God Seals], which ranked among the top three in the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department, and behind them were the Transcending Tribulation Loose Immortals and the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Kings of All Realms!
The [Dou Zi Xuan Huang Seal], one of the ten marshals of the Xuanhuang Battle Immortal Department, represents the peak Mahayana Heavenly Venerable, Marshal Zi Chen!
The Seal of the Judgment of the Xie Zhi, one of the three Grand Prison Masters of the Boundless Immortal Prison Department, represents the Great Vehicle Heavenly Venerable. The Iron-Toothed Grand Prison Master has one-third of the power to control the immortal treasure, the Celestial Mirror of Patrol.
This background... left Wang Yu speechless.
Even if Su Tianji came, he would be skinned alive. What right do they have to be targeted to this extent? Could it be that powerful figures from other realms have joined forces?
Are they unwilling to grant power and positions to demonic and monster cultivators?
Are they really trying to create a split?!
But upon closer examination, there are far too many clues and suspicious points, revealing an awkward feeling at every turn.
If it's not a collective attack.
That was the idea of those three brats, but... things have gotten out of hand!
The official seal representing the three major power departments of the Immortal Palace, which wields military force, attracted a large number of cultivators to stop and look at the center of the chaos, whether in surprise or curiosity.
The three spoiled rich kids suddenly realized that things were not going well!
It seems that he did not expect Yuan Xiang to actually dare to go to such lengths, but due to reasons such as pride and stubbornness, he did not reveal it immediately. Instead, he hesitated and did not know how to end the situation.
This situation made Wang Yu sigh.
A pang of pity struck him, and a thousand memories seemed to flash before his eyes. Years ago... he also had three such "foolish" friends who invested in him and helped him through his weakest period.
He immediately sent a telepathic message to Yuan Xiang, causing the latter to frown repeatedly.
Making a big fuss about this will do no good. These three people were clearly framed and used as pawns. If they really die here, the three powerful ministers of the Celestial Palace behind them will definitely not let it go.
Wang Yu guessed that the person who orchestrated this was very likely trying to split the human race, and might even be a spy planted by an alien race, because that was the most likely possibility.
Another issue is ignoring his own background.
Among Yuan Xiang, Zhou Wusheng, and the snake demon sisters, there must be someone with extraordinary background; otherwise, an egg cannot break a stone, and only when stones clash will both sides suffer heavy losses.
The curtain rises on the division of humanity!
Yuan Xiang can be ruled out. Zhou Wusheng and the snake demon sisters are highly suspicious, and they must have a background that is no less powerful than Su Tianji's.
…………
…………
In the field.
Upon receiving Wang Yu's message, Yuan Xiang quickly considered his options and ultimately chose Wang Yu's method. The matter had already escalated, and with the deadly attack, he was in no position to back down.
Then let's go all the way and make it even worse.
He waved his hand to create a soundproof barrier, and approached the three people lying on the ground vomiting blood under the watchful eyes of everyone, his lips moving as if he were saying something.
His expression immediately changed.
He was sent flying backward, vomiting three liters of blood. The infamous "God-Slaying Needle" was pinned between his eyebrows. He stared at the trio with an incredulous expression.
There are many people outside who are proficient in lip reading.
He then began to repeat it with a puzzled expression.
"This demonic cultivator seemed to be trying to reason with those three, saying that they were being used and shouldn't make the same mistake again, but they were ambushed by the God-Slaying Needle... Without a suitable treasure to heal their primordial spirit injury, they probably won't recover for hundreds of years."
Some people don't understand.
"Even demonic cultivators have moments of weakness? Wasn't it he, a mere Dao Integration cultivator, who attacked first with deadly force? Why would he take the initiative to seek peace?"
This person's words drew a large number of echoes.
Wang Yu became suspicious. He wondered if this guy was just a scumbag who liked to stir up trouble, or if he was connected to the person behind the scenes.
This is noteworthy!
Inside the soundproof barrier, the second-generation immortals stared in disbelief at Yuan Xiang's self-harming actions, all their previous hesitation and unease vanishing.
"How could a human being be so shameless as you!"
"Have you no shame?"
"In front of everyone, how can you, a Dao Integration Realm expert, be so shameless?!"
Yuan Xiang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and gave a cold laugh.
Twelve bloody holes suddenly exploded on his body, his aura became chaotic, and he looked as if his Dao foundation had been damaged. His face turned deathly pale.
“What a vicious playboy! He actually used the Evil Pearl to harm me. I, Yuan, will definitely demand an explanation from the people behind you.”
The three became even more anxious.
Being easily outmaneuvered proves that they are not very intelligent. This is certainly not the first time this has happened; they must have been taught a lesson by their elders long ago.
How can we tolerate being slandered like this? There's never been any such logic!
In this way...
The three men, who were originally brought in to cause big trouble, surprisingly had the idea of settling things peacefully, but their playboy nature made them unwilling to accept it.
He immediately gritted his teeth.
He slapped his own shoulder, shattering the bones. His shoulder slumped, and he pressed several acupoints, causing him to vomit blood repeatedly.
His disheveled appearance was even more pitiful than Yuan Xiang's.
The second-generation immortal leader immediately sneered.
"Hmph, you think you can hurt yourself? We can't... Don't even think about using this to your advantage!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Who knew?
Yuan Xiang's breathing suddenly returned to normal, all his wounds healed, and even the holes in his clothes were restored to their original state. He then took out a memory bead.
He spoke with righteous indignation.
"Why are you three harming yourselves and framing me? Are you trying to extort money from me? You don't seem like people who lack resources. Why do you do such a despicable thing? I will definitely take this to your fathers and make them give me an explanation."
In an instant.
Having been pampered since childhood, never having experienced the hardships of the world, and unaware of the wickedness of human nature, the three, who relied entirely on various treasures to boost their cultivation, were all dumbfounded.
The next moment.
Some were so enraged that their magical powers reversed, and they coughed up blood. The other two were also ashen-faced and speechless.
I'm really scared of being played!
"What...what do you want?!"
Seeing that the person opposite him had become all bark and no bite, Yuan Xiang felt more admiration and respect for Wang Yu. This method was incredibly effective, and it seemed to be applicable to many situations as well.
"Simple.
"Turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing."
"The three of you probably don't want your parents to know about your actions, so swear an oath to the heavens that you will avoid me whenever you see me in the future, and then reveal the name of the person who ordered you. This matter will end here."
Compared to various spiritual contracts, the Heavenly Oath has a greater binding effect on those with profound cultivation, especially those cultivators who aspire to Mahayana, tribulation transcendence, or even immortality.
Among the five signs of decay in the celestial beings, one is the decay of the Daoist mind.
The vows made in the past and the betrayals committed will be subject to the reckoning of inner demons, which is completely different from the invasion of heavenly demons.
The mystery within is something even Wang Yu himself cannot fathom.
But it can be summarized in one sentence.
It's easy to deceive someone, but hard to deceive their heart!
Now that things have progressed to this point, there shouldn't be any more mistakes. Wang Yu had no intention of watching any further, so he went into the main hall of the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department on his own.
There was indeed more to it than met the eye.
It was like a real world, stretching as far as the eye could see, with a large number of cultivators running around, either submitting missions or applying for job transfers.
There are also a large number of novice monks doing odd jobs.
When Wang Yu arrived at the Patrol Hall following the guidance of the Celestial Palace Order, he was finally properly received and no more disgusting or absurd things happened.
"Senior, you hold the position of Inspector of the Cosmic Sea. Currently, all the patrol areas within the Vast Immortal Realm have been allocated. Would you prefer to have your jurisdiction shared with that of another Inspector, or would you like to wait for your turn?"
Wang Yu pondered for a moment and understood the other party's implication.
This is asking him if he has any connections; if so, he should tell them quickly so the other party can make arrangements for him.
So-called parallel jurisdiction.
It means that he benefits while someone else takes the blame; only those with very strong connections can do this.
"How many people are waiting in line for the sorting?"
"Hmm... about 1,300 people. It would be a waste of talent for a Dao Integration expert like you, senior, to serve as an inspector. This position is actually mostly handled by Void Refinement experts."
"If we wait in line, it will take three thousand years before we can be allocated a decent territory."
Wang Yu: "..."
Although he intended to lie low, he didn't want to stay for three thousand years, he said again while pondering.
"I've heard that, besides the vast Immortal Realm, there are also gaps in the private territories of kings and nobles under the Inspectorate?"
"ah?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of this task stared at Wang Yu in astonishment. Those kings and nobles had received preferential treatment from the Immortal Palace and possessed one or more realms as their territory in the alien race's domain.
Nominally under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Palace, but in reality all of them are private domains. How can the inspectors possibly interfere with others' encroachment on the resources of their own territory?
That doesn't make sense.
Therefore, he hesitated and said, "Yes, there are, but those kings and nobles will not allow anyone to sit on their heads."
In other words...
This is the difference between a regional governor and an imperial envoy. The difference is that the Celestial Palace does not support the inspector to use the banner of righteousness to extort money.
The Celestial Palace, which wields absolute power, is quite generous to them. Unless there is suspicion of them siding with a foreign race, they will not easily use this power.
Wang Yu thought about it and felt that he shouldn't be so high-profile.
Let's see how others handle it first.
"Let's all line up first, and I'll be given a cave dwelling."
"No problem, senior."
