Shu Lai was almost driven mad by Yu Liang'en's blunt words.
damn it!
He made it so obvious, how come this bastard didn't understand?
If King Yama were to discover this trickery, neither he nor his brother would survive.
Is now the time to confront him?
"I did promise to find you a successor, but I didn't promise any conditions! None!" Shu Lai emphasized, hoping this straightforward guy could understand his hidden meaning.
"This is the ancient corpse you wanted." Yu Liang'en pointed to the red coffin in front of him. "I've brought it for you. I don't need you to find me a successor anymore. I only have one question for you: why did you harm me?"
Yu Liang'en stared at Shu Lai: "When I went to the place you mentioned, I almost got killed by those three traps. If I hadn't been prepared and bought a safety talisman from Ning He's disciple, I would be dead now."
As Yu Liang'en spoke, he took out several amulets drawn by Zhang Tianle and shook them at Shu Lai: "You know my strength, and you even told me that this trip would be difficult, but there would be absolutely no danger to my life. Is this what you mean by no danger to my life?"
Shu Lai fell silent.
yes!
He never expected that Yu Liang'en would survive.
If he had known he would survive, he certainly would have set up more than three traps.
His gaze fell on the talisman in Yu Liang'en's hand, and his pupils contracted sharply.
This talisman...
Such rich spiritual energy.
The talisman paper, which retains such complete spiritual power and is full of charm, is absolutely effective in protecting one's body.
If we lure out that corpse, we might not be able to defeat him at those three checkpoints.
But that shouldn't be the case!
Even with this talisman, at the very least, it could cause Yu Liang'en to suffer some injury and bleed a little.
And as long as he bleeds a little, the ancient corpse underground will definitely absorb his blood.
At this moment, Shu Lai was truly bewildered.
But he also sensed that something was wrong.
If what Yu Liang'en said is true, then the person standing in front of him right now is definitely not King Yama.
Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he took out a talisman, about to stick it on himself.
Just as Shu Lai was about to activate the talisman to teleport herself away, Zhang Tianle's voice rang out:
"Isn't it a bit too late for the vice president to think about escaping now?"
Shu Lai's expression changed drastically when the talisman was activated but showed no reaction.
Who exactly are you?
What he was about to activate was a talisman combined with talismans from another realm. Logically speaking, even a Celestial Master-level expert wouldn't be able to stop him now.
But now the talisman is not reacting at all.
This is a big problem.
"Senior Yu has already introduced me! I am Zhang Ninghe's apprentice, one of your closest friends! Vice President, don't you want to open this coffin and take a look? It took us a lot of effort to create this ancient corpse!" Zhang Tianle pointed to the coffin in front of him that was emitting a faint red glow.
Shu Lai's gaze also fell on the coffin.
His expression changed again when he touched the light emanating from the coffin.
"You tampered with this coffin."
The reason he couldn't teleport was that the coffin was under a spell that prevented him from flying.
Although the teleportation talismans he drew contained elements from beyond the realm, the main body was still based on the local talismans. If someone could control the underlying rules, they could impose a no-fly zone on him.
Can:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Zhang Ninghe has no such ability! You could never be Zhang Ninghe's disciple!"
He was very clear about the strength of the Shundao Hall lineage.
To be precise, it's Zhang Ninghe's strength.
He took the opportunity to befriend Zhang Ninghe and learned about the lineage of their Shundao Hall. Although the lineage of Shundao Hall was relatively well preserved, it had been lost in the lineage of talismanic arts!
This also means that their lineage cannot possibly possess an anti-air spell!
Moreover, he had also made plans regarding Zhang Ninghe's disciples.
Logically speaking, the operation should have been completed by now.
This means that Zhang Ninghe's two disciples have passed away.
so:
"Who exactly are you?" Shu Lai raised his hand, and a bronze sword appeared in his hand. He looked sharply at Zhang Tianle.
It seems this matter is not going to end well today.
The moment Shu Lai summoned the bronze sword, everyone present gripped their magical artifacts tightly.
Light also emanated from beneath their feet, forming a large array.
They trapped Zhang Tianle and his two companions.
Shu Lai's gaze then fell upon King Yama: "Your Highness King Yama, this is a matter concerning our mortal realm. You wouldn't want to get involved in this matter and break the agreement we made with you, would you?"
He now only hopes that King Yama is unaware of what's going on, otherwise things will really get complicated.
At this moment, he still harbored some hope.
“Yes. Under normal circumstances, we really shouldn’t get involved in your affairs in the mortal realm, violating the original agreement we made with your ancestors.” King Yama nodded affirmatively.
Just as Shu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, King Yama said, "However, this matter involves the Six Paths of Reincarnation in our Underworld. I think you know this better than we do, don't you? This has exceeded the terms of our agreement. You, a traitor suspected of colluding with extraterrestrial gods and demons, do not fall into the category of people protected under our agreement."
Upon hearing King Yama's words, Shu Lai's expression finally changed.
He knows!
The Wheel King actually found out!
How is that possible?
How did he know?
Their plan was so perfect.
So perfect that it was impossible for the King of the Underworld to discover it.
Which link in the chain went wrong?
"Sigh, it seems I was outmaneuvered once again! Ugh...bad luck!"
Shu Lai gripped the bronze sword in his hand and swung it at the red coffin in front of him.
A sword beam flew out, splitting the red coffin in two.
As the coffin was split open, the female corpse dressed in a red wedding gown was revealed inside.
"But I really have to thank you all for bringing this ancient corpse to me from so far away. It has given me the upper hand when I had no chance of winning! Come out, Ali! Fight for me!"
Shu Lai flicked out a talisman, and the eyes of the wedding dress-clad female corpse, who had been lying still, opened, revealing a blood-red light. Then she flew into the sky and attacked Zhang Tianle and the others.
As the female corpse flew towards Zhang Tianle and the others, Shu Lai's gaze fell on King Yama: "Alas! Your Highness King Yama, I never expected to run into you so soon! What I didn't expect even more was that you would enter the headquarters of our Metaphysics Guild. If you were outside, I might really have had to surrender, but now..."
