As the saying goes, "Ascend to a high place and see far," Meng Fan is like a person standing at the highest point, looking down on all living beings, and even quasi-saints are not in his sight.
While it wasn't easy for Wu Dong and Zhou Qi to use Meng Fan's resources and perspective to scheme against them, they did so with ease.
On Tuesday, Zhou Qi's words left me confused, and I could hardly understand them at all. I only felt that the schemes were getting deeper and deeper as the conversation progressed, and they even started talking about Yang Yi's sister-in-law's son's concubine.
In the end, he simply stopped listening on Tuesday and just followed orders. He thought to himself that people who use their brains are really something else.
This is not his fault. After becoming a quasi-saint, the world of evil gods continuously expanded its sphere of influence and never encountered anyone who could fight him. He was invincible.
Even when he encountered a quasi-saint like Lord Lingshan, he swept through the enemy lines with overwhelming force. His subordinates were used to being arrogant and domineering, and were accustomed to solving everything with violence.
Zhou Qi is known for his thoughtfulness and careful consideration since he began cultivating. After studying the Dao of Cause and Effect, he gained a deeper understanding of himself and tamed his sword-wielding nature. It can be said that among the nine kings, apart from his relatively weak combat power, he stands out from the crowd in every other aspect.
Tuesday now completely obeys Zhou Qi's orders, doing whatever he's told without asking any questions.
At this moment, Zhou Er, disguised as a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), was in a magnificent auction house. With a light sweep of his divine sense, he had already confirmed the identity of someone.
It was a woman, surrounded by a retinue, clearly of high status.
She was the concubine of Yang Yi's sister-in-law's son, and her name was Cai Die.
Watching her squander money like water, spending hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals without a second thought, Zhou Er sneered.
In this auction house, the only person who could rival her was a young man.
The man's name was Jianqiu, and he was of extremely high status. He was Yang San's nephew and was usually very much loved by Yang San.
The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to back down, displaying an attitude of deep resentment.
But on Tuesday, I heard from Zhou Qi that the two of them were secretly having an affair and were so affectionate that they had even slept together in bed.
On Tuesday, he cursed the two of them under his breath, secretly forming a hand seal, and an imperceptible aura shot into their bodies.
This technique has no harmful properties; it merely slightly amplifies the true thoughts of the person using it, causing them to lose control of their emotions. Afterwards, they cannot even detect it.
At this moment, the two were arguing heatedly over a top-tier acquired magic weapon. Although it was just a show for others, being able to openly exchange a few words with their lover was incredibly exciting for them.
When Cai Die saw her lover, she became more and more infatuated. With a wave of her hand, she said for some unknown reason, "I will offer one million immortal crystals to buy this magic treasure and give it to Qiu Lang."
After speaking, she even gave Jianqiu a flirtatious wink.
After he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Cai Die.
Those guarding Cai Die were terrified by these words. Everyone present was a powerful immortal, and it was impossible for them to be deaf and have misheard. If these words were to spread, not only would their master lose face, but they themselves would also be guilty of negligence.
Jianqiu was also startled, then felt a chill run down his spine. Cai Die's husband, Zong Baoyu, was notoriously petty and concerned with saving face.
Moreover, this is Zong Baoyu's territory. He comes here from time to time just to meet with Caidie in secret. If he finds out about their affair, it's hard to say whether he can leave alive.
As soon as Cai Die finished speaking, she regretted it. How could she have acted so impulsively and said such a thing in public? How foolish of her!
Now that she had spoken out of turn, she could imagine her fate and could only look to Jianqiu with hope.
Jianqiu dared not utter a word at this moment, and was quickly deciding in his mind how to escape.
He didn't know why, but his mind was filled with images of Cai Die, her gentle words and delicate figure, as well as her noble status, which deeply attracted him.
He can escape now, but Cai Die's fate is predictable. Even if there's nothing between them, Zong Baoyu won't let her off easily just because of what she said!
Thinking of this, Jianqiu drew his sword, its cold light flashing.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, all of Cai Die's guards were already dead.
Seeing Jianqiu step forward, Caidie's eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed uncontrollably, "Qiu Lang, you can't escape with me. Just leave me to fend for myself!"
Jian Qiu's mind was filled with the image of the person in front of him. Now that he had made his move, how could he give up? He immediately pulled the delicate body into his arms, unleashed his immortal power, blasted a hole in the auction house, and fled into the distance.
But there are no simple characters running an auction house, especially in the main city of Zong Baoyu's territory, where there are countless experts.
Leaving aside Jianqiu's rampage at the auction house, for which they should have been arrested, they couldn't explain themselves to Zong Baoyu either.
In the blink of an eye, several figures darted out, their movements ghostly, and quickly approached Jian Qiu and his companion.
Jianqiu sensed the rapidly approaching aura behind him. He swung his sword, unleashing a massive sword aura that swept across the sky, attempting to force back the approaching figures.
However, those figures were quite powerful, and they annihilated the sword energy with a mere wave of their hands.
"Jianqiu, you can't escape now, so why don't you surrender?"
Jian Qiu's expression was solemn as he replied, "I am the nephew of Venerable Yang San. How dare you attack me? Aren't you afraid of the Venerable's wrath?"
"Hmph! We certainly can't afford to offend Venerable Yang San, but this is Venerable Yang Yi's territory. You and Cai Die caused a scene first, and then you killed someone. Given that you are in the wrong, how could Venerable Yang San possibly protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Jianqiu's expression turned ugly as he stared at the several figures that had caught up with him.
“I, Jianqiu, will take full responsibility for my actions. If you let Caidie go, I will go back with you alone.”
Just as the group was about to speak, a man in black appeared in the void; it was Zong Baoyu.
He appeared calm, but those who knew his character understood that the calmer he was, the more dangerous he became.
He coldly said, "Jianqiu, not only will you die, but I guarantee Caidie will die a hundred times more painfully than you!"
Jianqiu trembled when he saw Zong Baoyu arrive. Although the two were of the same generation, Zong Baoyu's cultivation was a whole realm higher than his. He was now at the Golden Immortal realm and was highly valued by Yang Yi.
Zong Baoyu idolizes Yang Yi, and even their personalities are eight parts alike, making him extremely cruel!
Seeing that there was no way out, Jianqiu looked at Caidie with deep affection and said, "Caidie, we should have known this day would come. I hope that in the next life we can fly together again. Go in peace!"
After saying that, he struck down with his palm, directly severing Cai Die's heart meridian. A trace of relief appeared on her face. At least dying at the hands of her lover was better than being humiliated to death by Zong Baoyu.
Seeing this, Zong Baoyu scoffed, "You think this will solve everything for her? I will extract her soul and burn it in the ghostly fire for three thousand years, then annihilate her body and soul!"
Jianqiu's eyes were wide open. He knew he was doomed, but he was determined to fight to the death and make Zong Baoyu pay the price, even if it meant his own demise!
