Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 299 Hidden Sun Mysterious Cuts, Soul Transformation and Destruction

The four of them, fighting against four Three Flower Grandmasters?

No, to be more precise, he is an existence even more powerful than the Three Flowers Grandmaster.

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down the spines of the four.

However, Yan Ri soon discovered that although the Heavenly Crystal was inserted into the energy box at the opponent's waist, the power of the opponent's moves had not been amplified in any way and remained the same as before.

He immediately figured out the reason.

"These people probably can't control the combination of the Heavenly Crystals and the Energy Box at all. Right now, they're probably just using those Heavenly Crystals as pure energy supplies!"

Yan Ri said.

This is barely good news for them.

Because the enemy they faced was not a powerful expert at the Three Flowers level.

The reason it's described as "barely" is because the way the other party uses the Heavenly Crystal allows them to provide the energy box with almost endless energy.

This means that the biggest flaw of the armor, namely its extremely high energy consumption, has been directly overcome.

As long as there is still energy in the Heavenly Crystal, Tie Zhan and the others can keep fighting until their spirits are exhausted.

The energy inside the crystal can be described as inexhaustible.

Rather than hoping to exhaust the energy of the Heavenly Crystal, it would be better to hope that Tie Zhan and the others will suffer a mental breakdown.

However, each of the three warriors is extraordinary, and it would take an unknown amount of time and effort for their mental strength to weaken, rendering them unable to control their energy and causing their armor to disappear.

Thinking of this, Yan Ri's mood was anything but good.

"Does the Luo Net really know so much about this armor?"

Kunsha said, "Let me guess, did those three guys, Blue and the others, run off to Qin?"

He remained silent, hiding the sun.

Kunsha waved his hand, and a dozen or so Rakshasa soldiers entered the battlefield.

Under Ai's control, they unleashed the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation to surround and kill several Luo Wang assassins.

The True Martial Seven-Section Formation is a profound formation created by Master Zhang, and its power is unbelievably strong.
It takes only two people to set up the formation, and the formation's power is equivalent to twice the combined power of the two people. In other words, two people can unleash the power of four people.

If the formation consists of three people, then the number of people should be doubled, resulting in a total of eight people.

Add one more person, and it will double, bringing the combined power of sixteen people.

With a maximum of seven people, working together, they can unleash the power of sixty-four people!
If all seven of them were Grandmasters, they could hold off sixty-four Grandmasters!
However, such a profound and powerful formation is extremely difficult to execute. Each person involved in the formation needs to cultivate a martial art. When setting up the formation, they must use their own unique martial art in combination with the different martial arts of others to unleash its strongest power.

Moreover, these seven martial arts techniques can only unleash their power when forming a formation; if used at other times, their power is minimal when facing an enemy alone.

Since its creation, only seven disciples of Master Zhang have been taught the corresponding martial arts techniques for this formation.

This formation is now in Xiao Ai's hands. She precisely controls each person, forming a seven-seven array. Although the person who set up the array is only at the Innate level, under the amplification of this array, one array is equivalent to sixty-four Innate martial artists attacking at the same time.

Such a powerful formation cannot be underestimated, even though Yan Ri and the others are all masters of the Second Flower Realm.

Moreover, each of them has a formidable rival in front of them.

Faced with this formation and the combined attack of a formidable foe, even seasoned assassins from the Luo Wang organization were gradually suppressed.

Feeling aggrieved, Yan Ri angrily retorted, "Kunsha, you're supposed to be the leader of the Rakshasa Cult, all you know how to do is bully the weak with numbers?"

"Ha ha……"

Kunsha sneered: "The powerless use their wits, the powerful use their strength. Precisely because I am the leader of the Rakshasa Cult, I should play this trick of bullying the weak with numbers. Otherwise, would I, the supreme leader, have to personally step into the fray and fight to the death with a mere assassin like you?"

Since I'm not the cult leader, I can only resort to tricks and take risks myself.

Now that I've become a cult leader, with capable people and a strong army under my command, and I even personally take risks, then isn't my position as cult leader just for nothing?
The cave is too small, only allowing a dozen or so people to enter at a time.

If it were a larger location, Kunsha would have already sent a large number of Rakshasa troops to storm in.

When dealing with the Rakshasa Cult and the Demon Cult, Kunsha used different methods, but the principle was the same.

As the leader of the Rakshasa Cult, even if he wanted to kill the high-ranking members of the Rakshasa Cult directly, he had to have a legitimate reason for doing so. Therefore, Kunsha deliberately fell into the trap to lure the Rakshasa angels and others into making their move so that he could kill them in a justifiable way.

But when dealing with the evil cult, there's no need to consider so many things.

The two sides are sworn enemies, so it doesn't matter what means they use.

Therefore, Kunsha didn't wait for the demonic cult members to come up with any schemes or tricks; he directly dispatched a large army to block the cave entrance.

All schemes and plots can only submit to this power!

The Luo Wang organization is undoubtedly very powerful, but unfortunately, this place is too far away from it.

They knew absolutely nothing about Kunsa.

In Luo Wang's view, Kun Sha only had one White Cloud cigarette.

As for the organization behind Kunsa, it may have other Heavenly Crystals, but it is impossible for it to hand over all of them to Kunsa for use.

In their view, Kunsha was merely a pawn exposed by the organization.

Just like the top-tier assassins in their Luo Wang organization, each of them wields the famous sword of the King of Yue.

But no assassin could possibly master all nine of the King of Yue's famous swords.

Even the swords in the hands of these assassins do not actually belong to them.

The sword is more important than a person.

From this perspective, Luo Wang actually values ​​Kun Sha very much, and directly dispatched four top-tier assassins.

But their guesses clearly underestimated Kunsa.

Kunsa was not a pawn of this organization, but a true player within it.

Of the ten Heavenly Crystals, besides the three held by the Qin Kingdom, the remaining seven were all in his hands!

This extremely serious misjudgment doomed Luo Wang's operation to utter failure!
Soon after, the two weakest, Zhuanhun Miepo, exhausted their true energy and were directly captured.

Xuan Jian and Yan Ri are stronger, and they still have some strength left.

But they could also see that, inside this cave, surrounded by the enemy, they had no chance of survival.

Yan Ri, radiating despair, suddenly shouted, "My great cause has failed; it is the will of Heaven!"

He then committed suicide.

Xuan Jian sighed, "Is this... the destiny of the Xuan Jian Sword?"

He also committed suicide.

Kunsha reached out and beckoned the black and white swords over, taking them in his hand.

"These two swords are quite interesting..."

When it comes to the Xuanjian Sword, the most mysterious figure is not its creator, Ou Yezi, but its previous owner.

The former Xuan Jian was originally a martial arts master. Later, he joined the Luo Wang and took charge of Xuan Jian. However, during a mission, he developed feelings for the daughter of the target, which gave rise to a story of love, hate and revenge.

However, that was many years ago, and the previous Xuan Jian had been dead for many years.

The one who now wields the Xuanjian Sword and died before Kunsha is merely a successor.

However, he seemed to vaguely sense the extraordinary nature of this sword. It was the spirit of the previous Xuan Jian, still lingering around the black and white swords, refusing to dissipate to this day.

This really piqued Zhou Ming's interest, so he immediately put away the Xuanjian Sword and handed it over to Xiao Ai to study.

In comparison, the Sun-Covering Sword has no story.

The sword's owner has a story to tell.

Although Yan Ri was also a top-tier assassin in the Luo Wang organization, his status was above that of other assassins, and he could even be considered Zhao Gao's partner.

It seems they have some kind of conspiracy or ambition they want to achieve.

However, the path of the martial arts world and the life of an assassin is truly perilous.

A seemingly ordinary mission buried all his schemes and ambitions in a mountain cave thousands of miles away from the Qin state.

The other two, Soul Transference and Soul Destruction, are more ordinary.

Neither the sword nor the person has any special story.

"However, I'd like to know, to what extent are you willing to submit to the sword's intent, serve the sword as your master, and demean yourselves as sword slaves?"

Kunsha took the Soul-Turning Sword and spoke to the two assassins.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two assassins knelt on one knee and said, "Born for the sword, we will die for the sword. If the leader is willing to return our souls and spirits to us, we are willing to swear our loyalty to the leader to the death!"

"Oh? So simple, you choose to surrender to me and betray the Net?"

Zhuanhun said, "The Net is not my master, the Zhuanhun Sword is my master. Now that the sword is in the hands of the sect leader, I will naturally submit to the sect leader."

Mi Po said, "Those who are slaves to the sword have the sword as their master of life and death, and are loyal to the sword. There is no such thing as betrayal."

Kunsa could sense that the two men were speaking with complete sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.

This is their true thought.

"The Net is really quite capable, to have trained people to be like this..."

But why is it bound to a sword?
But considering the unique nature of the Luo Wang organization, Kunsha understood.

The net has no master.

The master of the Net is not chosen through bloodline succession, but rather selected by the Net itself.

This means that the assassins of the Luo Wang network cannot be loyal to any specific individual.

They wouldn't even pledge allegiance to a single faction.

Don't be fooled by their current status as Qin's henchmen; if Qin were to weaken one day, they would quickly seek a new master.

The net of power belongs only to those in authority!

Bound to the sword, loyal to the sword, becoming a slave to the sword.

Although it's somewhat unreliable and unstable, it's a relatively good method that the Luo Wang organization itself has chosen.

"In that case, I'll return these two swords to you for now."

Kunsha returned the Soul-Swallowing and Soul-Destroying Swords to the other party, thus accepting the other party's loyalty.

The two assassins took the sword and said, "Soul Transformation and Soul Destroyer are willing to die for the sect leader!"

Death by effect?

Heh, I suppose it's the moment when the sword I've pledged my allegiance to is snatched away by someone else.

Kunsa sneered inwardly.

However, he didn't care. Now that these two swords were in his hands, no one else could take them away.

An hour later.

In front of Guiyun Hall, the corpses of Jian Er and other high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect were displayed before everyone.

Tuotuo's indifferent voice, amplified by his true energy, resounded throughout the entire city.

"The Demonic Sect, led by Jian Er, and its high-ranking members, pretended to escape but were actually hiding in the city, plotting to assassinate the sect leader. Now they have all been eliminated, their corpses exposed for three days, and then torn to pieces as a warning to others!"
The leader of the demonic sect fled first, but our leader, being benevolent, will not pursue his crimes and hopes that he will behave himself in the future.

From this day forward, the Demonic Sect belongs to my Rakshasa Sect!

Three days later, the entire Demonic Sect was forcibly relocated to the Rakshasa Sect.

Within the Rakshasa Cult, the high-ranking members, including the Rakshasa Angels, were accused of treason and rebellion, and a severe purge was carried out.

Ten days later, Kunsha met the cleansed and reorganized Rakshasa Cult in the Rakshasa Palace and officially renamed the sect the Star Luo Cult.

Within the Star Luo Sect, the sect leader is the most revered, followed by three Heavenly Kings: Eagle King Huo Tianqing, Lion King Tie Zhan, and Scorpion King Tuotuo.

An Internal Affairs Hall was established, headed by Huo Tianqing, who was in charge of all internal affairs of the Xingluo Sect.

The Heavenly Demon Hall was established, overseen by Tuotuo. All grandmaster-level experts without official positions were admitted to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

The Earthly Fiends Hall was established, overseen by Tie Zhan. All innate masters who did not hold other official positions were admitted to the Earthly Fiends Hall.

These two gangs were simply gathering places for thugs.

In addition, there was the Tiangong Hall, which was in charge of craftsmen, and the Tianyi Hospital, which was responsible for medicine and alchemy, etc.

However, there were no corresponding high-level appointments; instead, the competition among the lower-level staff was the only option.

At this meeting, Kunsa made no secret of his ambitions.

"The Western Regions are filled with countless city-states and kingdoms, which are simply too conspicuous. I wish to become the King of the Western Regions, to unify the Western Regions, and to make the entire Western Regions, from now on, have only one name!"

His burning ambition shocked everyone.

He then clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "I am willing to serve the leader! I am willing to serve the king of the Western Regions!"

The next day, the three thousand Rakshasa soldiers marched in three routes, sweeping away everything in their path and capturing city after city.

The momentum is so strong it's awe-inspiring!
Even the Ming and Yuan dynasties, which had previously paid little attention to this barren land of the Western Regions, were amazed and immediately dispatched a large number of people to investigate the Western Regions.

After learning of the Star Luo Sect leader's ambitions, the two nations, which had been enemies for over a century, reached an agreement in an instant.

The Star Luo Sect must never be allowed to unify the Western Regions!
The Western Regions may have countless city-states and a powerful sect, but it will never be allowed to coalesce into a complete country!

Soon, one expert after another appeared on the land of the Western Regions to hinder the actions of the Star Luo Sect.

One city-state after another, with the help of certain mysterious figures, embarked on the path of training their troops and strengthening themselves.

All of this added one obstacle after another to the Star Luo Sect's path of conquest.

"Ai, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

"Focus on the big picture and let go of the small details."

"what for?"

"The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains are beautiful and fertile, and farming can be carried out everywhere to feed the people. But in the Western Regions, there are vast Gobi deserts and extremely cold ice fields. These places are simply unsuitable for human habitation and are useless."

However, there are also oases and mountain ranges, places suitable for human survival and reproduction, which naturally need to be firmly occupied.

Simply put, don't focus on the size of the land, but on its value!

Zhou Ming nodded: "That's right. The Star Luo Sect's strength is still very weak, and it's simply not enough to rule the entire Western Regions. In that case, let's follow your strategy and focus on the big picture while letting the small ones go!"
