"All of you, stop!"
While they were talking, a young man in red and white entered the room like a gust of wind. His face was covered in dust, but there was a hint of a sneer on his face.
"Interesting. The swindlers of an evil sect actually dared to mess with me. This Blue River Province really needs to be regulated."
The Publicity Ambassador was taken aback. "May I know who you are?"
"Thank you for asking. I'm your father." Wang Lu resisted the urge to raise his sword and slash him. He answered with a fake smile. In front of his fellow villagers, he still hoped to solve the problem in a peaceful way, but it was really difficult to vent his anger, so his gaze was as horrifying as it could be.
However, this Mr. Zhou, who was sent by the Seven Stars Sect to preach, was not an easy person to deal with. Although he was stared at by Wang Lu until his legs went soft and his bladder went numb, his face remained calm. Ignoring his rudeness, he turned around and began to mobilize the crowd.
"Everyone, does anyone know whose child this is?"
The villagers didn't react at first, but after a while, some of them vaguely recognized it.
"This child … Could he be Little Lu?"
Hearing this, Old Master Wang's body trembled. He stood up in disbelief, "Little Lu? It's you!? "
Being called by his father, Wang Lu couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it. He waved his hand and said, "Father, please sit down and don't make a sound. After I've dealt with this swindler, we can talk about our father-son relationship."
At this time, Mr. Zhou came back to his senses. "Wang Lu? You're the Wang Lu who went out to seek immortality two years ago? "
Wang Lu sneered, "That's right. What can I do for you?"
"I don't dare to give advice, it's just …" Mr. Zhou said and then leisurely smiled. "It seems like you have some prejudice against our Seven Stars Sect?"
"Prejudice? What a joke, would you be prejudiced against a pile of dog poop? "
Mr. Zhou's expression suddenly changed. "Kid, do you know that a loose tongue can cause trouble?! If you insult the Seven Stars Sect, be careful that the Daoist Immortals of the Seven Stars Sect will send disaster to you … "While speaking, his eyes swept around." It's more likely to implicate other people! "
This was another trick to mobilize the masses. When the villagers of Wang Family Village heard this, they immediately became noisy.
"Little Lu, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhou!"
"You, you, shut up and apologize to of Of Zhou!"
Hearing the quarrel behind him, Wang Lu's face turned black. "All of you, shut up!"
The sound of his voice was like muffled thunder, and the dust on the roof of the roof. The surrounding villagers were immediately shocked.
Although he was just a level seven Qi Cultivating Stage newcomer, in the mortal world, Wang Lu had long been a Transcendent figure. In the army, he was a peerless general who could fight against a thousand men. In the martial arts world, he was a super great grandmaster. With just a lift of his hand, he could easily deter a group of mortals.
Wang Lu thought for a moment. Although giving the name of his sect to this lowly swindler seemed to damage his sect's reputation, if he could make this Seven Stars Sect retreat, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"Lingjian School."
Mr. Zhou frowned. "Lingjian School?" After a moment, he nodded. "Turns out you're the disciple of Lingjian School. No wonder you have such skill. However, even if it's Lingjian School, it still needs to be reasonable. For no reason, you humiliated my Seven Stars Sect, and then used overbearing means to intimidate the innocent villagers. This is somewhat … unreasonable."
Wang Lu was shocked. "What the hell, are you crazy? After hearing the name of Lingjian School, you actually didn't obediently kneel down and lick my name, but instead, you want to argue with me, a Successor Disciple … You really have the guts! In the past, when this old man brought that dead fatty to the Small Clear Sky Peak, I was not as bold as you! "
Admittedly, in theory, no matter how big one's background was, there should be a reason, but in the Nine Regions, how could there be so many reasons? The bigger the fist was the hard truth! And no matter how much the Lingjian School declined, it was, after all, one of the Five Unique Immortal Cultivation Sects. Not to mention the Ten Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall, even if a senior disciple came, he could easily trample over a hundred of these Seven Stars Sect! Arguing with the Lingjian School? Do you think you're worthy!?
However, in the face of Mr. Zhou's spirit of seeking death, Wang Lu's interest was piqued. "Oh? You want to reason with me? "
Being stared at by this young man, Mr. Zhou felt uncomfortable all over, but he still maintained his imposing manner. "Yes, I want to reason with you. Just now, you insulted my Seven Stars Sect, so there must be a reason. "
Wang Lu smiled. "Reason? Does the Lingjian School need a reason to trample on people? Forget it, I'll be a bit more honest. Is deceiving the common people enough? "
"Oh, how can I deceive the common people?" Mr. Zhou laughed out loud and then began to mobilize the crowd. "Everyone, do you feel that I've deceived you?"
One after another, the ignorant villagers echoed, "There's no such thing, Mr. Zhou!"
"That's right, that's right. Listening to you talk about the difference between Immortal and Mortal, we, the country folks, are suddenly enlightened!"
"Mr. Zhou, you said that our family's dog also has the Immortal Cultivation Spirit Root, I absolutely believe you!"
"Little Lu, don't make trouble!"
Wang Lu frowned, and then his voice shook the surrounding area. "All of you, shut up! Surnamed Zhou, don't use the ignorant people as a shield to fish in troubled waters, or else I'll directly kill you! "
This was not a bluff. That naked murderous intent caused Mr. Zhou's heart to palpitate.
"Very well, then please tell us, how exactly did our Seven Stars Sect deceive the common people!"
"Based on your words that everyone can become an Immortal, I know that your Seven Stars Sect is just a lowly swindler. If everyone can become an Immortal, why don't we see Immortals springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain? "
Who knew that Mr. Zhou would laugh, but his attitude was as if he had finally fallen into his rhythm. "Good question. This question has actually been bothering the Immortal Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years. In the past, people thought that the Immortal Fate was predestined, and only a few lucky people with natural spirit root could embark on the Immortal Path. But actually, that's not true. The Heaven is fair, giving everyone the same opportunity. It's just that, we haven't discovered it until our Seven Stars Sect's Patriarch, Daoist Master Shen He, created the Seven Stars Pill, which opened the door to the Immortal Path for all living beings! "
Wang Lu suddenly laughed. "That's simply slapping your own face! When your Seven Stars Sect sold Six Harmonies Pill and Spirit Root Development Pill at a high price in the past, why didn't you mention the Seven Stars Pill? Not to mention the one who made mortals cultivate to Immortal Cultivation World is Patriarch Liu He of the Shengjing Sect, what does it have to do with your Patriarch, Daoist Master Shen He? You dare to use Shengjing Sect's tiger skin? "
However, Mr. Zhou's response was simply jaw-dropping. "Hehe, that's just the common people's opinion. Actually, Patriarch Liu He is our Daoist Master Shen He's Junior Brother. Most of his skills were learned from Daoist Master Shen He. That Six Harmonies Pill and Six Harmonies Pill are actually just simplified versions of the Seven Stars Pill. Although the cost is lower, the effect is not as good. Although taking the Six Harmonies Pill can also set foot on the Immortal Path and prolong one's lifespan, compared to the Seven Stars Pill, which can make people immortal, it's far from it. However, the Seven Stars Pill is the sect's treasure, how could we casually sell it to outsiders? If not for your Wang Family Village having a big opportunity, you wouldn't even have the qualification to know the existence of the Seven Stars Pill. Therefore, in the past few years, the Seven Stars Sect only sold Six Harmonies Pill to you. "
Wang Lu couldn't help but laugh. This Mr. Zhou was really capable; he was indeed worthy to be the Publicity Ambassador of this deceiving sect; he could even come up with such a nonsensical reason. What's more, in the face of this explanation, which was too much to complain about, even Wang Lu felt like a rabbit pulling a turtle.
Because there was a very important issue here. The debate with this Mr. Zhou was not to refute the opposite party, but to win over the audience. The Seven Stars Sect has been developing their influence in the Wang Family Village for a long time, and the entire spiritual energy in the village has been tarnished by them, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. To correct this influence, the best way was to tear off the deceiver's mask in front of everyone's eyes, exposing their true colors.
Of course, there was also a simpler way. If Wang Lu had the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment … No, as long as he was a high-level Qi Cultivating Stage, he could learn one or two exquisite spells from the sect, which would be enough to fool this group of inexperienced barbarians. Unfortunately, what he learned was the 'One Sword to Break Ten Thousand Methods', and the way of the sword was specialized in defense. Although the actual combat effect was amazing, and according to his Master's evaluation, its hardness was enough to make a low-level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator feel embarrassed … However, it was useless in this situation!
Relying on the debating method to expose the scam, there was a difficulty, and that was, the audience was subjectively inclined to the opponent, and their brains were hopelessly stupid. And Mr. Zhou was undoubtedly an expert in brainwashing idiots.
Just now, there was not a single word of truth in that explanation, which any regular Immortal Cultivator could directly refute. However, Wang Lu knew that even if he caught any point, it would be meaningless. Because the audience simply didn't know the truth.
If Mr. Zhou said that Daoist Master Shen He was the Martial Brother of Patriarch Six Harmonies, they would certainly believe it without hesitation. However, if Wang Lu said that Daoist Master Shen He was just a lousy birdman, this group of villagers would be furious. Debating in such an environment was overwhelmingly disadvantageous to him.
However, it was also because of this that it was more interesting. Because, although the situation seemed to be disadvantageous to him, the real fatal flaw was the opposite party.
As everyone knew, in a qualified debate, there should be no difference in the quality of the two sides' arguments. Otherwise, if one side argued that the sun rose from the east and the other side argued that it rose from the west, then there would be no fun. And now, the Seven Stars Sect undoubtedly wanted to say that the crow was white and the sun was rising from the west … Even if the audience was inclined, there was a fatal flaw in their argument.
Then, as long as he found out these fatal flaws, the real face of the swindler would inevitably be exposed.
And the flaw was, in fact, obvious.
"Why do we have to charge?"
Mr. Zhou was stunned. "What?"
"Since your Seven Stars Sect's purpose is to deliver all living beings from suffering, to make everyone become Immortals, why do you covet the mortal world's gold and silver? A million taels of silver is a painful number for my father, but it's nothing to an Immortal Cultivator, right? "
Mr. Zhou said with a smile, "It's not that I covet money, I just need you to show your sincerity."
This issue could be said to be a cliché for the Seven Stars Sect's Publicity Ambassador, and it was also a topic that could not be avoided in the development of the Seven Stars Sect's business. Regarding this, Mr. Zhou had already expected it and had long studied it. Usually, people would repeatedly emphasize how passionate their sincerity was, and they didn't need money to prove it. However, for mortals, there was nothing more effective than money to prove their sincerity. Anyone could swear or swear, but not everyone could do it with real money. The topic of sincerity could be said to be his home ground.
However, the next moment, Mr. Zhou found out that the youth in front of him directly flipped the table.
"Sincerity? What's that? Didn't you say that because the people in the Wang Family Village have a great opportunity, they were favored by the Sect's Immortals? Since the villagers already have that opportunity, what's the use of sincerity? "
Mr. Zhou was suddenly at a loss for words. After a moment, he said, "Opportunity and sincerity, of course, both are indispensable. Otherwise, do you want our Seven Stars Sect's people to beg you to become Immortals?"
Wang Lu immediately laughed. "Of course, isn't it the same in the Immortal Cultivation World? Disciples with good aptitude and affinity to Immortality are treasures wherever they go. Each sect's Reward Giver Elders spend a lot of effort every year to find talented people with affinity to Immortality. Even if the other party is unwilling, they would still be forcefully dragged back to the sect. Is your Seven Stars Sect special? "
Without waiting for Mr. Zhou to refute, Wang Lu further said, "Sincerity is mutual. The Wang Family Village has the sincerity to seek Immortality, but your Seven Stars Sect's sincerity to enlighten the world? Just a few bowls of talisman water and a few packets of Six Harmonies Powder is sincerity? One million silver coins is an astronomical number for anyone in the village, but a few packets of Six Harmonies Powder is not even a drop in the bucket for you, is this fair? "
"This …"
Mr. Zhou was dumbfounded. It wasn't that Wang Lu's words were impeccable, but rather, he had never encountered such a problem before!
How could Wang Lu give him this opportunity? "Secondly, if the Seven Stars Sect really wants to enlighten the world, why do we need to talk about sincerity? If everyone is fated, then let it be. If everyone is fated, then let it be. Sincerity? How much is it worth? People's hearts are fickle. Today you have sincerity, but tomorrow you might regret it. What's the use of this kind of sincerity? If your ideal of everyone becoming an Immortal is true, then you should unconditionally distribute your Seven Stars Powder to the world's fated people. There's no need for sincerity. "
With that, Wang Lu put on a victorious posture, waiting for the other side to struggle.
Sincerity seemed to be the home field of the Seven Stars Sect's swindlers, but in fact, it was their fatal weakness. The swindlers might have an extravagant theoretical basis, but they would never have sincerity. Grasping this point, they would be successful in every endeavor. Moreover, the more wonderful thing was, the villagers' mentality was no longer as simple and honest as before. Gradually, they began to realize their selfishness, greed, and other negative emotions. And he used this emotion to force the opponent into a disadvantageous position in public opinion.
The reason was very simple: if the villagers could obtain the so-called Immortal fate at a lower cost, these people would immediately change sides.
In just a moment, Mr. Zhou was already drenched in cold sweat. He had been in the Seven Stars Sect for several years. Relying on his Lotus Flower Persuasion skill, he had made great contributions to the sect. Not only did he have a very high status, but he was also bestowed the Immortal fate by the sect's Elder … In the past few years, not to mention this remote mountain village, he had even absorbed a prefecture city into his sect. It could be said that he had gone through hundreds of battles, but he had never encountered such a situation!
Who exactly is this young man? Isn't he just a low level disciple of the Lingjian School? Why does he give me such a strong sense of oppression? How could a mere Lingjian School have such an outstanding talent?
However, at this time, he couldn't think too much about it. According to his Master's instruction, if he encountered such a situation, he must immediately use his unique skill without any hesitation. People's hearts were the most fragile thing. Especially when the Seven Stars Sect had yet to gain a firm foothold in the Wang Family Village, they didn't have enough prestige to make the villagers sacrifice their lives for the sect. Once they were incited to develop the habit of bargaining with the sect, then the sect's plan to develop their force would be greatly hindered.
Therefore … Mr. Zhou put on a panicked expression, but he had already made up his mind to use his unique skill, which had a big side effect, but in a short period of time, would be successful.
Mr. Zhou raised his hand, which was holding a handkerchief, as if he wanted to wipe off the sweat on his head. However, under the handkerchief, an undetectable purple-black ray of light, like a lightning, shot toward Wang Lu's throat!
Kid, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck for opposing my Seven Stars Sect! Seeing that you're young, but your cultivation is not bad, I'm afraid you really have an affinity with immortality. Unfortunately … you still can't block my Seven Stars Sect's Seven Stars Penetrating Bone Nail!
Mr. Zhou's unique skill was a low-level magical tool that was given to him by the sect. Although it was only a low-level magical tool, and it could only be used once, the power of this Penetrating Bone Nail was far beyond the imagination of mortals. A small nail could penetrate more than one meter thick rock. Moreover, the needle's tip was coated with a highly toxic poison. Once it touched the blood, not only the throat would be sealed, the victim's flesh and bones would also turn into mud, a horrible sight to behold!
As long as he unexpectedly shot this needle, even a middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator would find it difficult to detect it, let alone resist it. Not to mention this young boy, how could he have a middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation?
As long as he died, he could blame it on the wrath of the heavens. Although the villagers, especially that Master Wang, would be dissatisfied, under the threat of the wrath of the heavens, who would dare to disobey?
With a trace of sneer, Mr. Zhou looked at Wang Lu as if he was looking at a corpse. However, at this time, he suddenly found out...
The clear eyes of the youngster were looking straight at him. The corners of his mouth curled up in a contemptuous smile as he had expected. Then … a slender hand, as if he had foreseen the future, perfectly blocked the front of his throat. Two fingers gently pinched the Seven Star Penetrating Bone Nail. His body trembled slightly.
The Penetrating Bone Nail, which was powerful enough to penetrate the rock, was stopped!
Mr. Zhou was horrified. This Penetrating Bone Nail was called a concealed weapon, but even if it was activated in front of someone, without a high-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation, it would be difficult to resist, not to mention using one's body to block it! What kind of divine being is this boy!?
Then, an even more horrifying performance began.
Wang Lu pinched the Penetrating Bone Nail, and then … he directly put it into his mouth and chewed it!
That crunching sound seemed to be pounding on Mr. Zhou's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. When Wang Lu swallowed all the residue into his stomach, in his eyes, this young cultivator had already turned into an evil demon.
"Ridiculous, this power is still inferior to Aya's Look Up at the Starry Sky."
