Lin Xing felt that he had completely lost all sense of propriety...
What was that just now? Molesting his master to her face?
It was so immoral!
Moreover, as the leader of a sect and also his master, the difficulty of winning her over was no less than that of Su Ru!!
However, Lin Xing was already somewhat certain that his master did have a tiny bit of affection for him. That's right!! Absolutely!
With that shy demeanor like a little girl, even if he were the dullest person, he could tell!
However, the following plan couldn't be too drastic. The feudal ethics in ancient times were still very strict. He had to gradually remove Lady Sanmiao's vigilance, and then, hehehe!!
Lin Xing let out a strange laugh as he walked out of the room. His lewd and sneaky smiling face made the two maids feel a chill in their hearts.
"By the way!" Lin Xing suddenly turned his head and said to the two of them, "You haven't seen me... haven't... seen me..."
The three tomoe of the Sharingan slowly rotated. Lin Xing's soft voice seemed to have a magical power. The two young girls were in a daze, as if they had fallen asleep.
"Done!"
Lin Xing snapped his fingers and left with a chuckle.
The pleasure of plotting against others from behind was no less than that of brutally killing them face to face!
Next— Lin Xing began his long-planned sneaky scheme, codenamed, the "Human Trafficker"!
Lin Xing arrived at the appointed place.
The forest was dense and the light rain was misty.
The Bloodsucking Old Demon, the Bald Man, and the Dwarf, three rather peculiar characters, stood in front of Lin Xing.
"Is this Mr. Lin Xing?"
The Bald Man spoke first. Although his tone was amiable, the doubt in it was still quite obvious.
The Bald Man was also a capable master. His name was Elder Duanmu, a friend of the Bloodsucking Old Demon. He had always been a solitary person. Out of consideration for his friend, he was being so amiable to Lin Xing.
However, the other one was different. Baiduzi, a senior elder of the Wandu Sect, had only an ordinary relationship with the Bloodsucking Old Demon. He was of a dwarf's stature, haughty, and looked at Lin Xing with a sneering tone, saying, "So you're the Lin Xing who calls himself the 'Holy Lord'? Why are you just a young lad?"
The Bloodsucking Old Demon looked at Lin Xing awkwardly, wanting to say something, but Lin Xing waved his hand to stop him.
Talk? In the Demonic Sect, force was much more effective than preaching!
For those "righteous" characters in the Demonic Sect like Qinglong and Youji, force might not be very useful. But Lin Xing knew clearly about these guys in front of him.
They were just clowns who jumped around, bullying the weak and fearing the strong! ① Such people were despicable, but they were easy to subdue. Their cultivation was also at the level of the chief elders of Qingyun Sect. Lin Xing had no intention of building any "righteous" cause anyway. Morality and such things could all go to hell!
Lin Xing smiled and said, "Daring to call myself the 'Holy Lord', I naturally have some skills. How about you two watch my performance?"
After saying that, he gently raised his right hand and pointed towards the sky.
It was a rainy day with overcast clouds in the sky. Several faint streaks of lightning occasionally illuminated a small part of the sky.
As soon as Lin Xing raised his hand, the clouds in the sky surged, tumbled, and rushed rapidly, like roaring waves.
Baiduzi and Elder Duanmu were instantly stunned, and their minds went blank for a moment.
Just with one finger? Without using any Taoist magic? And without any powerful imposing manner?
He could control the dark clouds in the sky!!?
What kind of cultivation level was this!!?
The two stared blankly at Lin Xing, and they began to believe a bit in the "Holy Lord's" arrogant words!
However, the Bloodsucking Old Demon beside them was even more shocked! He knew Lin Xing's ability to control lightning! But that time, it was just Lin Xing summoning the lightning by himself.
But now, could it be—!!
The Bloodsucking Old Demon had a crazy thought!!
Sure enough, as Lin Xing gently wagged his finger, the clouds in the sky became even denser. There were more and more streaks of lightning in the tumbling clouds, and they became brighter and brighter. From the occasional appearance in individual small corners, they turned into a grid of lightning that appeared frequently and covered a large part of the sky!!
The streaks of lightning intertwined and spread, gradually growing larger. The entire Liubo Mountain was illuminated pale white and bright by the dense lightning! The tumbling lightning turned into flying thunder dragons that shuttled in the clouds.
An imposing and solemn aura of destruction enveloped down from above. Liubo Mountain turned into a boiling sea. The members of the Demonic Sect hiding everywhere all ran out to watch!!
"Brother Long, as far as I know, when the Kui Niu is born, although there are strange phenomena. But it doesn't seem to be like this in the records, right?" Guiwang looked at the terrifying thunder dragons in the sky and was a bit puzzled.
The Pale-faced Scholar thought for a while and said, "The records may not be completely accurate. Some discrepancies should be acceptable, right?" After saying that, he also looked at the sky in confusion.
Not only the Demonic Sect, but also many people from the Righteous Path all looked towards this direction at the same time.
"An abnormal phenomenon in heaven and earth? Could it be that some precious treasure is about to be born?" The old man Daoxuan frowned and pondered.
The loss of the Water Qilin had always been a worry in his heart. Thinking that after his death, there would be a record saying "lost the pet Water Qilin of Ancestor Qingye", how embarrassing it would be!
To be infamous for all time aaaaah!!
No, he must make up for it!! This precious treasure this time belongs to our Qingyun Sect!!
No one! Can take it away!!
The old man Daoxuan was full of spirit. He waved his large sleeve and released his domineering aura.
"Fellow chief elders, follow me to achieve great deeds!!!"
Lin Xing had no idea that his act of showing off had messed up the situation completely!
However, Lin Xing was still very satisfied with the current situation!
The three people in front of him had completely lost their wits and had completely submitted to his unparalleled charisma that could move heaven and earth!
"Ahem, well, the Holy Lord is peerless in elegance and has extraordinary talent. He is simply, is, like a celestial being descending to the mortal world, a celestial being descending to the mortal world, haha, hehe." Baiduzi wanted to flatter him, but due to embarrassment and fear, he couldn't find good adjectives. After searching his mind, he managed to come up with these few words.
And the bald Elder Duanmu was even more annoying. He had the nerve to say, "The Holy Lord is young but has a cultivation level that we can't even catch up with. He is indeed the one destined by heaven! From now on, this old man Duanmu will follow the Holy Lord's orders without hesitation!!"
Seeing that the two of them flattered without blushing, although the Bloodsucking Old Demon was not well-educated, he couldn't fall behind either!
"The Holy Lord is peerless in elegance! Destined by heaven!! I, this old ghost, will swear to be loyal to him with my life."
The two of them gave him a disdainful look at the same time: Damn it! You even plagiarize when flattering. Do you have any sense of public morality?
Lin Xing smiled faintly. He had already anticipated this result. He gently lowered his right hand, and the lightning in the sky converged into a lightning pillar more than ten zhang thick as his hand dropped. It crashed down to the ground with a loud bang. The entire Liubo Mountain seemed to tremble!
The lightning was intense and the trees were on fire. Looking at the trembling eyes of the three people, Lin Xing was even more satisfied.
The Zhen Trigram was estimated to be the most powerful trigram except for the Qian and Kun Trigrams!!
Without understanding the artistic conception, it was still very powerful!!
A gentle aura like water emanated from Lin Xing, and he instantly became amiable again. Lin Xing smiled and said, "You three don't need to be restraint. I'm a very kind person. As long as you don't make mistakes, I won't strike you with lightning!"
The trees set on fire by the lightning illuminated Lin Xing's face. The Bloodsucking Old Demon and the other two shivered and swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard. These people with the cultivation level of the Upper Clear Realm suddenly found that their legs seemed to be trembling...
① In the original work, Guiwang and Qinglong expressed their disdainful views... Lin Xing the "Human Trafficker" II So-called "human trafficking", just abducting the senior elders was too low-grade!
Abducting should start from the young!
So— "Is this the residence of the old man Dushen?" Lin Xing was dressed like a servant, following behind the three of them, walking leisurely and admiring the scenery around.
From time to time, several disciples passed by and saluted the three of them one after another. Lin Xing swaggered into the stronghold of the Wandu Sect just like that.
"Yes. The Sect Master... Dushen has important matters to discuss with Changshengtang these days and has only left his young disciple here." Baiduzi was the most familiar with the Wandu Sect and explained at the side.
"Then, in your opinion, what about this Qin Wuyan?"
Baiduzi thought for a while and said, "His talent is the best in the Wandu Sect! When I was at his age, I was far from being as good as him! Dushen likes him very much!"
"Likes him very much?"
Lin Xing said thoughtfully, and then showed a strange expression, a mixture of excitement and interest.
"If his most beloved disciple betrays him, will Dushen be so angry that he dies?"
He took a few big steps forward and pushed the door open with a creak.
Lin Xing entered first, and the three followed behind. The room was clean and tidy. A young man about the same age as Lin Xing was playing with a poisonous creature.
This was a centipede with a colorful pattern. Its seven tails spread out like a peacock's feathers, looking strange and magnificent. Lin Xing took a look and said with great interest, "Is this the Seven-tailed Centipede?"
The young man suddenly raised his head and saw Lin Xing dressed as a servant, watching the centipede with an "interesting" look, completely ignoring him.
That look was unrestrained and casual, as if the whole world was beneath his notice. How could this be the look of a servant?
There was definitely something strange!!
Then he looked behind Lin Xing.
Qin Wuyan was shocked!
The Bloodsucking Old Demon, Baiduzi, and Elder Duanmu!
They were all renowned and powerful figures!!
Qin Wuyan had also been in the Wandu Sect for a while. Although his scheming hadn't reached the level it would be ten years later, he could still do the most basic observation of people's words and expressions.
These three people were clearly the subordinates of the "servant" in front of him!
What were they here for?
And it happened to be when his master was away?
Qin Wuyan looked at Lin Xing warily and took a defensive stance.
After admiring the Seven-tailed Centipede, Lin Xing looked at Qin Wuyan: "Oh! Young man, what are you doing? Being on guard?"
Although he was of the same age as Qin Wuyan, when he said these words, no one would feel the slightest bit strange!
This was charisma!
"But being on guard is useless. Do you think you have a chance of winning against the three people behind me?"
The Bloodsucking Old Demon and the other three showed helpless smiles.
Holy Lord, you have great powers. Why do you always like to let us take action?
Qin Wuyan composed himself and finally let down his guard. He said in a childish voice, "What brings you all here?"
Lin Xing nodded in satisfaction. Being able to calm down in such a situation was not bad! Really not bad!!
He found a place to sit down and also motioned for the Bloodsucking Old Demon and the other three to sit down. Lin Xing sized up Qin Wuyan and said playfully, "It's indeed an important matter. I came here this time to ask Young Master Qin if you are interested in the position of the Sect Master of the Wandu Sect?"
"What!" Qin Wuyan drew out his Immortal Sword with a whoosh, his face full of anger.
These people actually wanted him to betray his master!!
Qin Wuyan knew clearly how powerful Dushen was. He didn't dare to have the slightest thought of betrayal!
Moreover, since he was deeply favored by Dushen, why would he need to betray?
Lin Xing sat quietly without speaking. He just stared at Qin Wuyan's face and observed carefully. Every expression, every detail, as well as the frequency and depth of his breathing, the fear and surprise in his eyes, all these things flooded into his mind.
The crisscrossing lines on the young man's hands outlined his character, temperament, past and future, and so on.
Fortune-telling was a law of association!
All the information intertwined and converged, drawing a hazy trajectory.
Although he couldn't see it very clearly yet, it was enough!
He retracted his gaze, and the content of fortune-telling ebbed away like a tide. Lin Xing for the first time realized how convenient fortune-telling was!
Lin Xing stared at Qin Wuyan and released a little bit of his spiritual power, which made Qin Wuyan gasp for breath. He picked up the Seven-tailed Centipede on the table unhurriedly and played with it in his hand. While playing, he said, "Dushen won't live for much longer. You don't need to be afraid. Since I dare to come to find you, I have my own support! If you have any concerns, you can put them aside."
"As for your little hope of getting lucky? Hehe, do you really think that your three senior brothers are fools, waiting for Dushen to pass on the position to you? Do you really have that much confidence?"
Qin Wuyan looked at Lin Xing in horror, too shocked to speak!
"You, how do you—"
"How do I know what you're thinking? Right?" Lin Xing smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you think your master can do this?"
Qin Wuyan's mind was in a mess!
Who was this person!!
Just one look made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy! An imposing manner stronger than his master's!!
He could see through people with just one glance! How high a level of wisdom would that require!
From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he didn't even take Dushen seriously?
Just then, the Seven-tailed Centipede in Lin Xing's hand suddenly moved. Its colorful tail was as gorgeous as a cloud. There was a small cut on Lin Xing's hand, revealing blackened blood.
Qin Wuyan was delighted. Now you're in for it!
The Bloodsucking Old Demon and the other three also changed their expressions greatly!!
What should they do now!?
But the next scene shocked everyone!!
A colorless and transparent spiritual energy, mixed with a little bit of gold, green, and black colors, slowly floated on Lin Xing's wrist. A puff of black smoke dissipated like steam. Lin Xing's blackened finger became fair and ruddy, and even that small cut disappeared!!
The Seven-tailed Centipede couldn't even injure him!!
The Bloodsucking Old Demon and the other three showed joy on their faces.
This time, they had made the right bet!
"The poison of your Wandu Sect is really not that great. It has no effect at all. Sigh!"
Lin Xing shook his head and looked at Qin Wuyan again.
"Well, young man, have you thought it through?"
Qin Wuyan's face changed with different expressions. Although he was young, he was very smart. He thought over the pros and cons repeatedly. He put aside the matter of his master and analyzed everything without any emotion. What was most beneficial to himself was what he should choose!
After a long time, Qin Wuyan finally raised his head. On his small face, there was a maturity that didn't belong to his age.
"Are you sure you can defeat Dushen?"
Lin Xing stood up, and his imposing manner was like a thunderstorm breaking out and a fierce fire surging. Looking into Qin Wuyan's eyes, he said word by word, "Dushen will only live for less than half a year!"
His tone was confident, firm, and unwavering! The Grand Army of Qingyun Sect (3/3) In the end, Qin Wuyan also submitted, and the plan was one step closer to success!
The four most powerful elders of the Wandu Sect ①, Cangsong, the Bloodsucking Old Demon, Baiduzi, and Elder Duanmu, had all sided with Lin Xing. And they surely had their own small forces and the elders they befriended in the sect, and so on.
And Qin Wuyan, who was highly valued by Dushen, was believed to have the support of some elders as well.
Almost half of the high-end combat power of the entire Wandu Sect was in Lin Xing's hands!
"Holy Lord, what should we do next?"
"Wait, until after the siege of Qingyun Sect!" Lin Xing said without thinking. It would be a pity not to make use of the advantage of knowing the plot!
"Remember, in the battle of Qingyun Sect, don't fight desperately! You should try your best to preserve your forces. Fight on the periphery and don't go deep! Preserve your effective strength!"
The three of them looked at each other in disbelief, looking at Lin Xing, and thought of a terrifying result: "Could, could it be—?"
"Hmm!" Lin Xing nodded slightly. It wouldn't hurt to tell the three of them about Daoxuan's ability to use the Zhu Xian Sword. "We also have to thank that old man Daoxuan. Otherwise,
