Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 424 Hey friend, have you heard of the Thousand Machine Pavilion?
In dire straits, look to the God of Glass, but don't ask how dire straits came about.

After forcibly rescuing Zhang Ze from the core module, it transformed into War Tyrannosaurus Ultraman and fought against the white cube angel.

But soon they were subjected to a one-sided beating by the cube angels.

Perhaps because it wasn't compatible with the green fireflies, Ah Li didn't unleash any special power after combining with them; instead, she was incredibly weak.

Ah Li's flashy golden light shattered at the slightest touch. Every time the opponent's white light flashed, Zhang Ze worried that Ah Li was about to enter a defeat CG.
Not long after, as expected, Ah Li collapsed to the ground, her chest beginning to glow red.

Just as Zhang Ze was wondering whether he should go out to help, Ah Li suddenly shrank into the giant's belly and appeared inside the giant's body, standing in front of Zhang Ze.

Li Shen snapped her fingers at Zhang Ze, "Get out of here!"

Having said that, it grabbed Zhang Ze's wrist, and at the same time, with its other hand, it made a gesture in the air, and one after another, dark green fireflies appeared, lining up and jumping into Ah Li's magical artifact with its long name.

In just a moment, the giant turned into a glittering golden shell.

Pulling Zhang Ze along, Ali used its old tricks, diving into the ground and carrying Zhang Ze to escape towards the southwest of the Silver White Ruins.

Although it was impossible to escape from Luoyu Mountain directly using escape techniques, there was a shallow area beneath this silver-white ruined city that could be traversed, and the white fireflies had not set up any defenses there.

As Ah Li escaped with a single move, the empty shell of the golden giant was instantly blasted to pieces. Zhang Ze listened to the white firefly cheering for its victory and suddenly realized something.

It turns out that the barrier erected by those white fireflies was actually unpredictable underground.
Why did I sneak in all that way? I could have just crawled in!
Zhang Ze couldn't tell whether he was the fool or the group of fireflies.

"Never mind, you're a master of stupidity," Zhang Ze consoled himself.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Li brought Zhang Ze to a safe place. Emerging from underground, Zhang Ze looked around and saw that the surrounding area was evergreen, the very bridgehead of the deep green firefly spirits' invasion of Rainfall Mountain, the urban area covered by vines.

Thinking she was out of danger, Ah Li proudly strutted around with her little belly sticking out, looking like she wanted praise.

Seeing its appearance, Zhang Ze was too lazy to say anything. He picked it up with one hand, held A-Li in his arms, and asked.

"What happened just now?"

Ah Li smiled proudly, without explaining. With a wave of her small hand, the magical artifact with the particularly long name floated out of her palm. With a flash of golden light, the abducted cultivators and the dark green firefly spirits appeared together.

As soon as this group appeared, everyone except Monkey King and his cabbage lined up on both sides.

After forming a line, under Zhang Ze's gaze, their eyes were firm. They all raised their right hands, opened their palms, and pointed diagonally to the sky.

Seeing this action, Zhang Ze raised an eyebrow and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There's a feeling that a great virtuous person is about to arrive.

Fortunately, the group did not shout the discordant slogan. Instead, after raising their hands to the highest point, they lowered them to their left shoulders and then knelt on one knee.

"Welcome back in triumph, Dragon King!"

Zhang Ze, "..."

Well, it would be better if Da De had come.

The return of the Dragon King is still too corny.

However, Zhang Ze was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized that this group of people were not welcoming him, but welcoming A Li in his arms.

"So what exactly did you do?" Zhang Ze grabbed Ah Li's almost non-existent neck with one hand and lifted her up like a cat.

Show some respect to this Dragon King!

Ah Li, who had swelled to the extreme, writhed in Zhang Ze's hands.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

After giving Li Shen four consecutive flicks on the head, the arrogant and somewhat delusional Li finally came to her senses.

"Put me down first, it's so embarrassing, there are people watching." Ah Li covered her forehead with her small hands and muttered softly.

Following the direction pointed by Ah Li's tail, Zhang Ze saw that the only two normal people, Monkey King and Big Cabbage, were sitting on small stools to the side, sipping their tea and watching the show.

Zhang Ze tossed Ah Li to the ground, raised his chin, and said, "Speak."

Ah Li drew circles on the ground with her tail, stammering, "It's like this..."

All I can say is that Ah Li is truly talented; her brain, even if struck by lightning, is no less sharp than Zhang Ze's.

As originally planned, they split into two groups, one Zhang Ze and one Long. Zhang Ze was responsible for infiltrating openly, while A Li was responsible for rescuing the hostages.

To ensure the success of the operation, Zhang Ze specifically assigned Monkey to Ali's team. After all, many of the people captured here were locals from Changzhou, and Monkey might recognize some of them. This would allow him to treat them accordingly and break the hypnosis more effectively.

Unexpectedly, Ah Li took a different approach.

Its purpose was simply to make these people obedient and leave with it, not to cure them instantly.

So why not just wash them again and then use the black stone to hypnotize them, thus firmly controlling them? This would save time from wasting time trying to find the root of their problems.

When the God of Glass dons the yellow robe, everyone recognizes him as their master; wouldn't that have the same effect?

This is not only convenient and fast, but it can also directly turn these people into combat power.

So Ah Li acted swiftly and decisively. Before Zhang Ze could even begin fighting Xiao Jingdi's illusory form, Ah Li had already completed the recapture, and her dragon army was beginning to take shape.

Ah Li's arrogant behavior naturally attracted the attention of the patrolling white fireflies. When it was washing the last person, it was discovered by a white firefly that had gone to the storeroom to steal some Apa tea.

In order not to cause trouble for Zhang Ze, A Li instinctively led everyone to dig underground to escape. By a twist of fate, they dug to this place, where, unsurprisingly, they were besieged by the dark green fireflies trapped there.

As expected of the Dragon King's Juice, Ah Li, in a fit of rage, took advantage of her thick skin and tough flesh. While enduring the beatings, Ah Li brainwashed all the dark green fireflies, turning them into members of her Goddess Expeditionary Force.

Then, it sensed that Zhang Ze was in danger, as it was connected to him by heart.
"Originally, I planned to build high walls here, store up grain, and delay declaring myself king, so that I could prepare for a long standoff and reorganize your rear. I never expected that you would encounter danger."

"If it weren't for my intervention, with the entire army attacking and taking you away from that place, you would probably have been possessed by that ghost and your mind would have been damaged. Instead of thanking me, you even knocked me on the head."

"sorrow."

Ah Li pouted pitifully, looking like she couldn't be appeased without food.

Zhang Ze sighed, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Do you know who that 'ghost' you beat to a pulp was?"

"Who is it? A wandering spirit residing here? Or a ghost released by those little cabbages?" Ah Li asked casually.

Zhang Ze pointed to the sky and said, "Sect Master, you've shattered the illusion of our Sword Sect Master."

Ah Li, "Who?"

Zhang Ze, "Sect Leader."

As she savored the words "Sect Master," Ah Li's bright orange-gold face turned deathly pale. "How could he be here? Will I be buried alive in the Sword Tomb when I get home?"

"No, he doesn't know about this."

Zhang Ze wanted to scare A Li, but then thought better of it. He thought A Li was just trying to be kind and ensure her health and good appetite, so it was best not to scare her.

He briefly recounted what had just happened inside the pyramid.

As it listened, Ah Li's little face changed color, showing surprise and worry. In the end, it tugged at its little tail, looking like it had done something wrong.

"So I've gotten into trouble again?"

"It wasn't really causing trouble. You were just concerned about me, so why would I blame you?"

Zhang Ze picked up A Li and rubbed its little head. "Anyway, we need to find a way back to the pyramid first. Whether it's rescuing Brother Shi or leaving this place, the crux of the problem lies there."

Holding Ah Li in his arms, Zhang Ze found a place to sit down, intending to think of a solution, but for some reason he felt unwell.

Looking up, I realized that the source of my discomfort was the group of Dragon King soldiers.

They were all staring straight at him, or more accurately, at Ah Li in his arms.

Looking at the cultivators and spirits sitting cross-legged around him under Ah Li's orders, Zhang Ze sighed, wondering what was going on.

Avoiding Yingling's direct gaze, Zhang Ze couldn't help but tap A Li on the head again, "How did you brainwash them? You can do this too?"

“It’s what the book taught me,” Ah Li replied.

"In a book? Which book?"

Zhang Ze doesn't remember writing anything like a pyramid scheme guide.

"Yes, it's that one." Ah Li reached into her magical artifact with its unusually long name, but couldn't find it. Then she looked over at Monkey King and saw that the book was in his hand.

Monkey King and Cabbage were watching with great interest.

Zhang Ze, "Let me take a look."

"Here you go." The turnip handed over the book using its vines.

Zhang Ze took it and paused for a moment after seeing the title on the cover.

"Ah."

The book had several large characters written on it in a bright, clear way.

"The Development Guide of the Exploding Sky Gang in the Eastern Continent" As the saying goes, wherever there is the Exploding Sky Gang, there is Liu Lili. Zhang Ze did not use his brain and immediately concluded that this was Lili's doing again.

He is really a thief with unrepentant intentions.

Zhang Ze flipped through the guide casually, wanting to see Lily's wicked plan, but the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

He felt that the more he looked at the book, the more familiar it seemed.

Although there were changes, he still felt that he had seen some of the passages somewhere before.

He flipped back to the cover, touched the book cover, and then rubbed it with his hands. After a while, he loosened the glue and carefully peeled off the first layer of the two-layer cover.

I saw the book's actual title.

Zhang Ze, "?"

The words "Hundred Demon Sect's Development Strategy for Eastern Continent" were prominently displayed.

These are contraband items seized during the previous crackdown on organized crime.

What does that mean? The Hundred Demon Sect was resurrected by Lily using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?
No wonder Grandma looks so familiar. What does Lily want a penis for?
"Did you get this from Lily?" Zhang Ze asked Ah Li.

But to my surprise, Ah Li shook her head, "No, I borrowed it from Fu Ji. I forgot which one, but it seems like everyone in them has a copy."

As she spoke, Ah Li pointed to the blue glue that was sticking the pages together, gesturing for Zhang Ze to smell it.

Zhang Ze leaned closer to sniff, and yes, it was indeed the scent of Fu Ji.

'Oh, it's Fuhime's? Then it's alright. Yeah, right!'

If this thing really is a rotten princess, then it just doesn't make any sense.

What does Fuhime need a penis for? And why is she even starting to play with military strategy?

We need to ask them carefully after we get out.

but
Looking at the unreliable contraband in his hand, and then at the dark green fireflies meditating on the ground, Zhang Ze suddenly had an idea.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Ze walked alone down the street, carrying a cloth bag and with his hands behind his back. The street was deserted, and all the white fireflies had retreated to the vicinity of the pyramid.

The cube-shaped angel floated above the pyramid, scanning and sensing everything within a mile of the pyramid.

After Zhang Ze crossed the invisible dividing line, the white cube 'looked' at him.

Hello everyone, I'm here.

It happened so fast that Zhang Ze hadn't even finished speaking when a flash of light shot over and struck him in the chest.

They didn't give Zhang Ze, this liar, a chance to speak at all.

Zhang Ze fell to the ground and slowly got up after the dust settled. This move was still a bit lacking; it couldn't break through his body.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Zhang Ze decided to immediately begin Plan B.

True friendship and ideals must be conveyed through fists.

Zhang Ze took out a toy sparkler from the cloth bag.

He raised his hand high to the sky and shouted the instant the second flash came.

"Diga!"

Ah Li, who had been hiding in the ground, emerged and merged with the fireflies. The verdant green and golden light swirled together, scattering the glitter.

After the vortex dissipated, a pair of giant golden hands appeared out of thin air and enveloped Zhang Ze.

The colossal giant of light once again stood atop the ruined city.

However, this time the driver was Zhang Ze.

run.

Take off.

Sword Sect Flying Kick.

The giant of light kicked the surface of the cube.

At the same time, all the white fireflies heard Arina's slightly cheeky voice.

"You've heard of Amway. Oh no, let's start over."

The second kick came out.

Have you heard of the Thousand Machine Pavilion?

This time, Ah Li delivered her lines correctly.

Inside the giant, amidst a golden halo, Zhang Ze stood with his hands behind his back on the Thousand Machine Platform, surrounded by a dense array of Thousand Machine Magic Artifacts, with several rings encircling his and A Li's hands and feet.

[Lily Technology - East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea, North China Sea - Sky-, Ground-, and Air-based - Thousand-Machine Giant Armor Synchronous Operating System]

This experimental Thousand Machine Magic Weapon was developed based on the puppetry techniques created by Baixi Daoren, the leader of the comedy sect Baixi Sect.

By synchronizing the actions of cultivators and circulating spiritual energy, the pressure generated when operating the Thousand Machines Magic Weapon is distributed, and its power is enhanced.

With the aid of this magical artifact, Zhang Ze, who is now an insulator, synchronized with A Li's movements, indirectly achieving his goal of manipulating the giant that A Li had transformed into.

Of course, that's just the action; the rest was up to Ah Li to improvise.

For example, when following Zhang Ze's movements to do gymnastics, information is hammered into the brain of the white firefly.

Do you know about the Thousand Machine Pavilion?

"Is Qianji Pavilion doing really good?"

"There are many flying aircraft, and cities that can transform."

"Want to know why your takeoff failed? The answer is in the Thousand Machine Pavilion."

"Come on, join Qianji Pavilion! We guarantee you'll learn everything. Try it for three months, or your tuition will be refunded."

"Join the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and we'll show you how to be cool and take you to new heights."

"After-sales service is guaranteed, with an 80-year warranty, professional on-site service, and free repairs."

Ah Li's incessant chatter lingered in the ears of the white firefly, but it did not have a positive effect.

Instead, the white firefly became even angrier.

"Liars! You're all liars!"

Ah Li: "What should I do? It doesn't seem to be working!"

Zhang Ze: "Don't panic, we still have Plan C."

Ah Li, "When?"

Zhang Ze: "That's the one."

Ah Li, "Which one?"

Zhang Ze, "It's that, that Specium Ray."

Ah Li, "Isn't that the Zepelion Ray?"

Zhang Ze: "The name doesn't matter, just put it there."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze jumped back to create distance, then made a gesture as if he were telling the teacher.

As Ah Li moved in sync with the action, she controlled her magical artifact, which had a very long name, to fly out.

The light did not strike the white firefly, but instead shot obliquely into the air.

A thousand magical artifacts, wooden kites, paper airplanes, a toy train with Ah Li's face, a steam airship, a toy helicopter, and a spaceship that looks super futuristic but is actually just a beef jerky snack...

Ah Li's pockets were no less cluttered than Zhang Ze's; she threw out everything that could fly, or that looked like it could fly.

There is a teardrop-shaped candy that looks very much like Luoyushan.

Riding on the seven-colored light conjured by Ah Li, it spiraled upwards, flying higher and higher.

Looking at the water droplet, the white fireflies released their grip on each other's hands.

It disintegrates and scatters, like snowflakes or dust.

"Are...is everything you're saying true?"

Zhang Ze and A Li heard the voice of the white firefly.
