Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 139 Shun Tianbo

Under the somewhat strange looks of Taoist Ruoque, Yun Wei and the little Taoist priest, Chu Tai walked to the side of Xi Shusheng.

"Do you intend to slander me as a heretic if you fail to recruit me, or do you intend to use the threat of labeling me a heretic as a threat to force me to accept the title of Shuntian Earl?"

Hearing Chu Tai's words, Taoist Ruo Que could no longer sit still and hurriedly asked Chu Tai about the whole matter.

After casually handing the two imperial edicts to Taoist Ruoque and asking him to read them himself, Chu Tai stared at the scholar Xi.

"I have to say, the man sitting on the throne today has a lot of tricks in his head!"

"What he is thinking is too simple. Is he so sure that he can suppress me? Isn't he afraid that I will accept it openly and plot against him secretly?"

"By the way, you don't need to tell me about contractual constraints. I know more about how to deal with this thing than you do."

A hint of sneer appeared on Chu Tai's face. As a sect of Yin Jing that often dealt with the underworld, he probably had recorded countless methods of avoiding contracts.

"A contract needs a subject to bear it. If it is a country that forces me to sign a contract, then I will destroy it."

"If it's the emperor, then it's even simpler. Ask his three generations of ancestors and grandchildren to go to the underworld together, and every generation must commit suicide on the throne. In this way, any contract with the emperor as the main body is a piece of waste paper. As for the backlash for violating it..."

As Chu Tai spoke, the aura on his body gradually became fainter, the aura of death gradually emerged, and the expression in his pupils became extremely cold. Even if there was a slight flicker of light, it was impossible to tell his emotions at the moment.

These changes originated from the Yin Jing Sect's magic and the information contained in the [Yin Walking Man] mastered by Chu Tai.

The fruit fragment [Walking Ghost] is the seventh-grade transformation of [Coroner]. According to Chu Tai's analysis in the past few days, combined with some information from this world, another variant [Living Impermanence] can be derived.

But no matter whether it is [Walking Ghost] or [Living Impermanence], after this fruit fragment reaches the seventh grade, the information inside should be mainly knowledge and rituals related to the underworld, geomancy, and time sequence.

According to Chu Tai's calculations, the blessing of this grade of Dao Fruit fragments can greatly enhance spirituality and improve a person's life essence to a certain extent.

However, due to the influence of the Yin and Ming attributes, the lifespan increase is not much, and it is only about three hundred years of lifespan.

The advantage of [Zou Yin Ren] over other seventh-grade Dao Fruit fragments is that, before death, he can use rituals to transform himself into a ghost messenger or even a ghost fairy.

Secondly, when alive, one can move freely in the dark, use the darkness to hide one's body and aura, communicate with the underworld normally, and even borrow magic from the underworld. The speed of practicing magic skills of the underworld and dark attributes will be greatly improved.

Finally, Chu Tai analyzed the basic information of the three magical powers, namely, Yin and Yang Patrol, Exorcising Spirits and Evil, and Leading the Way to the Underworld, from the fruit fragment of [Walking Yin Man], as well as the methods of refining several matching magic weapons.

However, according to Chu Tai's analysis and calculation, the several magic weapons of the [Ghost Walking Man] should be related to the spirituality of the [Ghost Walking Man] himself. Without the corresponding spiritual coordination, the power of these magic weapons may be reduced to only one tenth of what it was.

Therefore, Chu Tai did not analyze these magic weapons in too much. In the few days since Zhang Tianshi arrived, he was more focused on analyzing the abilities of the Yin-Yang Patrol.

The basic concept of this ability is to travel between the Yin and Yang worlds. Although most of the mystery is due to the spiritual characteristics of the "Yin-walking People", after analysis and combining it with some secret techniques in the Yin Jing Sect's secret teachings, Chu Tai still deduced a lot of interesting abilities.

For example, the fact that he is now in a state of death with a living body is one of the results of Chu Tai's research.

This state of death is not false, but a conceptual temporary cover, which is used to facilitate the subsequent descent into the underworld.

According to Yin Jingzong's records, this is also an effective way to avoid the backlash of the contract.

Most importantly, combined with the mist caused by the sacrificial music of "Lord in the Clouds", Chu Tai is fully confident that he can deceive any contract in this world and avoid all restrictions.

Xi Shusheng, who was unaware of the fog, still wanted to be tough, but when he thought of what Chu Tai had said, he did not dare to really provoke the other party.

After all, Chu Tai is not restricted by anyone at the moment. It is not clear whether he can destroy the country with the fighting power he has shown at the moment, but it should be no problem for him to break into the capital, kill the current emperor, or half-cripple the entire royal family.

Looking at Xi Shusheng who dared not utter a word, Chu Tai, who rarely revealed his emotions even when he was in a state of death, took the imperial edict from Taoist Ruoque with a bad look on his face, burned it in front of Xi Shusheng, and sprinkled the ashes on Xi Shusheng's body.

Then, Chu Tai stood up and walked out of Bu Tian Cliff. "What do you want to do!"

Xi Shusheng was a little horrified. Chu Tai looked back at him and said, "Go and talk to your master. If nothing works, you can only ask him to shut up to avoid making trouble later."

Yun Wei, the Little Taoist Priest, the Railway Man, the Bronze Monk and the Taoist Ruoque were all shocked. Taoist Zhang, who had originally "fainted", also opened his eyes a little and looked in the direction of Chu Tai.

The Tin Scholar, the Railway Man and the Bronze Monk struggled to stand up. The three of them looked at Chu Tai, their energy surging, trying to break through Chu Tai's seal.

As their blood surged, the faces of the three men turned pale, but blood continued to flow out of the pores of their bodies.

Chu Tai didn't even look at him, just glanced at the Taoist Ruoque who was in deep thought, and planned to continue walking out.

Before he took two steps, a figure appeared in front of him.

"If there is no fellow Taoist, will you also stop me?"

Under the surprised gazes of Xi Shusheng and the other two, and the troubled gaze of Yun Wei, Taoist Ruoque, who appeared in front of Chu Tai, shook his head.

"I don't want to stop you, fellow Taoist. I just want to ask you one thing before you leave. Do you have any plans for dealing with the changes in the country? Or how do you plan to deal with the people's subsequent lives after this incident?"

"From what you said, if I say yes, are you going to get out of the way?"

Chu Tai asked half-jokingly, but received a positive answer.

"If you can handle the follow-up matters, I will naturally not stop you."

Taoist Ruoque's answer surprised Chu Tai a little, but before he could express his opinion, the scholar Xi behind him was already furious.

"Ruoque, you are also a great master of Xuanmen appointed by the imperial court. The construction of this Bu Tian Ya Taoist temple was funded by the imperial court, and the maintenance of the temple has also been largely funded by the imperial court. You, the contemporary master of Bu Tian Ya, actually intend to follow this traitor!"

Xi Shusheng's face was ferocious, and he stared at Taoist Ruoque like a hungry ghost, gritting his teeth and saying, "Aren't you afraid of ruining the good reputation that Guizhen Dao has accumulated over hundreds of years? Aren't you afraid that people all over the world will poke holes in your spine?"

"In this world, everyone should be united in their hatred and fight against the Sky Crack together. However, ever since the construction of the Sky Crack, the imperial court has been using the Sky Crack to suppress the cultivation world. Is this fair?"

Taoist Ruoque looked back at Xi Shusheng with a complicated look, but his response was very cold, making the other party break out in cold sweat.

"In the past, we were unwilling to intervene because we knew that we could not bring welfare to all living beings. Forcibly overthrowing the court would only cause greater disasters. But this does not mean that we do not know what is right and wrong."

"Today, you wanted to attack Brother Taining, but he killed you in return. Looking around the world, no one would think that Brother Taining did something wrong."

"Similarly, after Brother Taining has dealt with you, the vanguards, he wants to go looking for trouble with the people behind the scenes, and no one can say that he is doing anything wrong."

"If I must say, there is something wrong with this matter. It's just that the master behind you has a special status. If you act rashly, it will easily cause chaos in the world. This is also the reason why I am standing here now."

Taoist Ruoque looked at Chu Tai and asked again, "Daoist Taining, please tell me, after the action, do you have any way to deal with the follow-up? Or a better way to deal with it?"

Looking at Taoist Ruoque, Chu Tai's eyes were filled with the light of the sun and moon. Seeing the faint spiritual light in his body and the shadow of the growing and withering lotus leaf, he chuckled and said, "Isn't his master planning to confer the title of Shuntian Earl on me?"

"I just thought that this court has been established for a long time. According to the destiny of heaven, it is time to update it. I plan to follow the destiny and start the prelude to reform."

Hearing this, everyone present gasped. Xi Shusheng was even more furious and shouted, "Traitor, traitor..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded, and Chu Tai raised his hand to knock Xi Shusheng out again. Blood mixed with teeth spilled all over the ground. He didn't even look at the other party, glanced at Taoist Ruoque again, then walked around him and walked out.
