"Hey, Junior Brother Wang Lu, why are you back …"
In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, there were already more than seventy disciples of Spirit Sword Sect sitting cross-legged in meditation — in the past three days, many people had come to the Blessed Fountain base. The Blessed Fountain base was open to everyone, but as long as anyone came in, they must be restrained by the array in the main hall of the Dragon Palace. Even Ouyang Shang was no exception. At the same time, Wang Lu was isolated outside. According to the agreement, he was not restricted by the array, but he could not enter the main hall at will. If there was a violation … In theory, he could be regarded as an enemy, and Ouyang Shang would launch the array in the Dragon Palace to suppress or even kill him.
This was an insurance measure. Wang Lu was alone outside the hall. For the people inside the hall, he was equivalent to a huge source of risk. Because when the demon race invaded, he would bear the brunt. At the same time, he had the authority to move freely. Once he fell into the enemy's hands, the threat to the people inside the hall would be enormous. Taking into account that when there was a variable, the dozens of people inside the hall could not be buried together with him, so there was a limit on the scope of action of Wang Lu. Of course, it was also taken into account that if the worst situation happened, the people inside the hall must not panic. Ouyang Shang alone was enough to be responsible for confronting the enemy. If other people made a move, it would only give the enemy a chance to fish in troubled waters. And if even Ouyang Shang, who was in control of the Dragon Palace, couldn't be suppressed, then there was no point in maintaining order. Everyone would just go all out and escape.
Fortunately, in the past three days, the worst situation had never happened. It was unbelievably calm. However, after three days, everyone saw Wang Lu walk into the hall with a heavy face.
Cai Xia, who was the closest to the entrance of the hall, thought that the Elder of the Lingjian School had arrived. She turned around in surprise, but only saw the figure of Wang Lu. In a twinkling of an eye, her heart sank as she thought of the worst possibility. What was even worse was that her Big Brother Ouyang Shang seemed to have not reacted yet. He was still greeting her with a pleasant face!
Big Brother, didn't you say that once there was a problem with Wang Lu, you would be the first to suppress him? How could you be so softhearted at the last moment! Who is this guy of unknown origin? Why are you making an exception for him again and again?!
Seeing her Big Brother's eyes full of trust, Cai Xia's heart even had a trace of jealousy, but she also knew that her Big Brother must have his own reasons, so she had to forcibly restrain the impatience in her heart.
"Junior Brother Wang Lu, what's the matter?"
Ouyang Shang was calm and collected, but inwardly, he was secretly vigilant. He did trust Wang Lu, but this trust was not unlimited … When he asked, he had actually secretly activated the arrangement in the hall of the Dragon Palace. If Wang Lu really had any abnormality, he would never show any mercy. Wang Lu was too strong, and showing mercy was suicidal.
However, Wang Lu ignored the entanglement in everyone's hearts and strode in front of Ouyang Shang. He went straight to the point and said, "About the reinforcements from the sect coming in three days, how did you confirm it?"
When Ouyang Shang heard this, he could not help but be startled. He immediately stood up and said, "Come inside with me and talk in detail."
At the same time, Ouyang Shang waved his hand at the Junior Brothers and Sisters who were looking at him with concern. "Everyone, don't be impatient."
After returning to the bedroom, Ouyang Shang asked, "Do you suspect that the letter is fake and the sect's reinforcements won't come? I have confirmed the authenticity of the letter. Whether it is the paper of the letter or the way it was written, or the immortal spirit imprint left on the letter, there is no mistake. "
Ouyang Shang said and even directly took out the letter to confirm its authenticity on the spot.
Wang Lu said, "Of course it's not wrong. If even this detail is not done well, then even Yang Fei and Cai Xia can't be deceived, how could they be deceived by our eyes? But this confirmation itself has a huge loophole — are you sure what you see is true? "
"Oh?"
"I just figured this out … Big Brother, a few days ago in the Ghost Weeping Forest, did you and I distinguish the authenticity of Li Xi?"
"… You mean, the other party's disguise skill can be applied to the letter and is beyond our ability to identify?"
"I have no evidence for this inference, but in fact, I don't need evidence. Because there is a more powerful proof: Although I haven't been in contact with the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect in this era, I think a group of people who can design the management trainee program, in any case, are not conservative people, right? "
Ouyang Shang said, "Yes, this group of Elders can be said to be the most radical group in Lingjian School in the past thousand years."
"Therefore, when they received the letter asking for help, the first thing they should do is to send one or two powerful Elders and rush to Blessed Fountain to save people at all costs, instead of integrating the team and asking us to wait here for three days! According to the real historical timeline, the group of Elders of Lingjian School was completely annihilated, but some of the disciples survived by chance. Thus, the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect value the safety of the golden generation more than themselves. At this time, they would not care if rashly rescuing people would put themselves in danger. "
"That's right." Ouyang Shang's face also turned gloomy. "At least, it's impossible for Elder Sword to let us fend for ourselves in such a dangerous place for three days. In fact, I have also considered this before, so I didn't rush to report everything to the sect. Otherwise, it would provoke Elder Sword, which is likely to directly detonate the black tide … But in any case, the core of the management trainee program is that the overall risk is controllable, and the appearance of the demon race has undoubtedly broken this. "
At this point, Ouyang Shang's point of view has been completely consistent with Wang Lu's.
"It seems that we've fallen into a trap …" Ouyang Shang said, "We've wasted three precious days in vain."
Wang Lu said, "Three days is not fatal. The fatal thing is that we mistakenly thought that the reinforcements were coming, so we gathered most of the Junior Brothers and Sisters in the Savage Land here … This is simply a good opportunity for the other party to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"What do you think the opponent will do next? Or use possession and other means to stir up internal strife? "
Wang Lu hatefully said, "Possession and possession? I'm afraid this is our biggest mistake. Only now do I understand that the other party's possession and possession technique is not that effective. There must be great restrictions when using it. The other party is deliberately mystifying us, deceiving us into binding our hands and feet. Just imagine, if the demon race really has such a sharp method, not to mention that it was never used in the previous two great wars of immortals and demons, which has never been recorded in the history books. Just on our way here, there are countless opportunities for him to make his move, so why not use it? Moreover, think about it carefully, he made his move three times. The first time was to control Wang Donghua to lure and kill Shen Yiwen, the second time was to control Li Xi to poison him, and the third time was to control Liu Xian to attack Wang Wu. These three times, the time of control is shorter and the effect is worse. I don't think this is just a coincidence. "
Ouyang Shang said, "… The other party's technique is very clever. He used the least amount of strength to disrupt our position. However, as you said, possession and possession is not enough to be his killing move. Moreover, after we see through it, the effect will only be worse. What do you think he will do next? "
"I don't know." Wang Lu calmly said, "I have never been able to guess the thoughts of the opponent. From his behavior, there are a lot of contradictions, but we can't really treat the opponent as a brainless person … It's very troublesome."
Ouyang Shang said, "Don't worry, sort out your current problem and let's think about it together."
"The first question, what is the purpose of the enemy? In theory, the only person that the demon race really needs to kill is me. As long as I'm killed, they can completely detonate the black tide. But now, they have shifted their target to other people. To say that they hate the house and its crow is putting the cart before the horse. "
Ouyang Shang pondered for a long time and then said, "Perhaps the importance of the black tide to the demon race has declined? Did the Demon King himself give up the intention to detonate the complete form of the black tide? "
"It doesn't make sense. One of the most important purposes of creating the black tide with the dream building technique is to kill Fenrir. The incomplete form of the black tide may be able to defeat her, but it can't kill her. As long as Fenrir is not dead, the blockade of the ninth depth prison is unbreakable. It's tantamount to squandering his power in vain. "
"… Are you sure you have to kill Fenrir in order to release the ninth depth prison?"
Wang Lu said, "The so-called ninth depth prison is actually the independent space inside Fenrir's body. In the Western Continent mythology, this world-destroying demonic wolf can devour the heaven and earth by relying on this innate independent space. This space is naturally highly enclosed. Rumor has it that even the gods cannot come out after being devoured. I don't think that the Demon King can be stronger than the gods of the Western Continent. "
"But do you remember in the demon spirit dream, he personally opened a window and let us see the phenomenon of the demon race returning to their ancestors in the desert tribe? If the ninth depth prison is really completely isolated from the outside world … How could he penetrate his power to the outside world? Or, if his body is trapped in the ninth depth prison, why is there a demon spirit dream in the outside world that is connected to his soul? "
Wang Lu said, "The dream building technique is indeed beyond common sense. According to my understanding of it, it does have the effect of breaking the space blockade to a certain extent, but only part of the soul can transcend the blockade …"
"In that case, what is haunting us right now is his remnant soul?"
"… Is there a need for that? Tearing his own soul apart and leaving his body and most of his soul in the Ninth Abyss Prison is a suicidal move. "
"But it's also the most rational thing to do. The Blacktide has been sealed by you, and it won't be able to kill you in a short time. In that case, giving up on the irredeemable part is the best choice. "
"Are you sure he has no other tricks up his sleeve? Doesn't he have any other subordinates in the Savage Land? "
"I'm not entirely sure, but if he really has other subordinates, there's no reason for them to stay dormant for two thousand years. At least they could be used to strengthen the scale of the Demon Spirit Dream, right? Also, I learned about it during my time in the desert oasis. Those devils never knew that they had allies in the Savage Land, and to say that he has other subordinates, at least I don't agree. "
Wang Lu smiled. "It's rare for us to have a slight difference of opinion, but this time I'll listen to you … In short, according to the reasoning just now, we can guess that the Demon King has already escaped from the ninth depth prison at an extremely heavy price. But there's still one problem that hasn't been solved: he finally escaped with great difficulty, so why does he have to cling to us juniors? Isn't it better to honestly recuperate in the Savage Land and make a comeback after thousands of years? He has waited for two thousand years, can't he wait for another few hundred years? "
Ouyang Shang's eyes flickered a little. "I guess … he probably really can't wait."
