Amidst the dead silence and darkness, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared. Ji Wuxiang and the others all stopped in their tracks and focused their eyes. It was a ball of fire, bright red, redder than blood. ※% Top ※% Dot ※% Small ※% Say, x.
At the same time, an angry roar sounded in their ears and a terrifying aura swept over.
Whoosh!
A fireball, like a meteor from outer space, quickly smashed over.
The person at the front bore the brunt and was directly wrapped in the fireball. With a hiss, he turned into a wisp of steam, dissipating into the air.
But there were no cries of alarm. Ji Wuxiang and his subordinates' pupils shrank at the same time as they stared unblinkingly at the fireball in the darkness.
"Young Master Tang!" Ji Wuxiang shouted with a gloomy face.
"Director Ji, oh, no, I should call you Lord." Tang Zheng's voice came from the darkness.
Ji Wuxiang's eyes jumped wildly, but he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Young Master Tang, what do you mean by that?"
He still had a sliver of hope.
"Director Ji, do you still want to quibble?" Tang Zheng sneered as he walked out from the darkness. Under the illumination of the fire, his figure was elongated, making him look extremely cold and austere.
Ji Wuxiang slightly narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Zheng, saying: "Why should I quibble?"
"It's best if you don't quibble, then openly admit your true identity. Could it be that the Lord of Honor doesn't even dare to admit his identity?" Tang Zheng jokingly said.
Ji Wuxiang was silent.
"Xiao Bai, since he doesn't dare to admit it and still has a sliver of hope, then you should stand out and destroy his last sliver of hope." Tang Zheng said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with endless anger.
Indeed, he was extremely angry.
Because, when he jumped into the basement, he actually found Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai's appearance had changed. The hair all over his body had turned a fiery red, unlike before where there was only a ball of red hair on his forehead.
Now, it was like a huge ball of fire.
This discovery caused all of Ji Wuxiang's previous lies to collapse, making them seem pale and powerless.
Especially when Xiao Bai told him that he was captured by the High Lord.
With Tang Zheng's intelligence, it was not difficult for him to guess that Ji Wuxiang was the Lord.
This way, many problems would be easily solved.
Tang Zheng came to a sudden realization, but he also felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He had been dealing with a person with ulterior motives all this while, and he had even helped him perfect the Heavenly Chess. This was almost like wandering around the gates of hell. He believed that once the Heavenly Chess was completed, that Ji Wuxiang, or rather, the Lord, would definitely not hesitate to get rid of him.
When he thought of this, his heart trembled, and his gaze towards Ji Wuxiang became even more unfriendly.
When Ji Wuxiang saw Xiao Bai walk out and its appearance, his pupils shrank and his face turned ashen. His aura also underwent a tremendous change.
"Xiao Bai, you're quite lucky."
Xiao Bai snorted and took large strides forward. He gritted his teeth and let out an angry roar, "If I'm not lucky, then wouldn't I die in your hands? You can still continue to deceive my master."
Tang Zheng sighed inwardly. Not only had he been deceived, even the Empyrean Fairy was not an exception.
She had once personally tested Ji Wuxiang, but she did not expect that she would not be able to find out anything.
In addition, when the High Lord tried to assassinate Ji Wuxiang last time, Tang Zheng had personally seen the two appear in front of him at the same time, so all of his worries had been dispelled. From the looks of it, that was just a carefully arranged scam by Ji Wuxiang. He had purposely lured him into the trap and deepened their relationship, making him help Ji Wuxiang perfect the Heavenly Chess.
This step by step arrangement was exquisite beyond compare, one step after another, making it hard for one to guard against.
Tang Zheng knew that he did not have this kind of ability, but the Azure Dragon Hall Master was indeed not an ordinary person. When he deceived others, he did not have to pay with his life.
"How did you escape from the laser?" Ji Wuxiang asked doubtfully.
He was very confident in his high tech weapon, but he did not expect Xiao Bai to be unscathed. Moreover, it seemed that he had undergone a mutation and his power had increased by a lot.
Wasn't this letting him off too easily?
Xiao Bai laughed and said disdainfully, "You want to kill me with just a little bit of laser? You're looking down on me too much. I am Master's pet, how could I be so weak? On the contrary, it was your laser that helped me. I discovered that I can absorb such a powerful energy and it can help me increase my strength. "
"That's impossible!" Ji Wuxiang blurted out subconsciously.
However, with everything in front of him, nothing was impossible. That was only his own wishful thinking.
Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai had once absorbed the essence blood of a Beast King. That was an extremely powerful energy that helped him increase his cultivation. It seemed that he was very tolerant of energy. Although the laser was powerful, it did not harm him and instead helped him.
He could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Bai had this ability. Otherwise, he would never have been able to see Xiao Bai again, and he would not have been able to see through Ji Wuxiang's true colors so quickly.
"Ji Wuxiang, in order to deceive me, you spent a lot of effort to write and direct such a good play. I wonder where you found another High Lord?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
This was a huge question in his heart. Ji Wuxiang could not have made another High Lord appear out of thin air, so there must be something fishy going on.
And that fake High Lord had left a deep impression on him. He was not much different from a real High Lord, and his cultivation was very strong.
Ji Wuxiang's lips hooked up into a faint smile as he jokingly said, "What, you can't figure it out?"
Tang Zheng was silent.
"If you can't figure it out, why should I tell you?"
"With your nature, you definitely won't let me go today. Aren't you going to tell me all your secrets before I die?" Tang Zheng asked back.
"Haha, Tang Zheng, do you really think I'm as stupid as everyone else? Tell you secrets? Why? Even if you die, I don't want you to know all my secrets. "Ji Wuxiang did not fall for Tang Zheng's trick.
A cold light flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. Ji Wuxiang was indeed not an ordinary person. There was a huge difference between him and ordinary people.
"However, there is one thing you're right about. I definitely won't let you go. You will die without a doubt. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too smart." Ji Wuxiang's eyes were filled with killing intent as he coldly said.
"Hou hou — —" Xiao Bai's low roar suddenly became louder, "If you want to kill Master, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
"Humph, you weren't my match before, and you're still not my match now." Ji Wuxiang snorted disdainfully.
Tang Zheng still had not obtained the information he wanted, so he was not in a hurry to make a move. He rubbed Xiao Bai's head. Xiao Bai understood, but did not immediately make a move. His pair of fiery red eyes were like two suns, fiercely glaring at Ji Wuxiang.
Tang Zheng asked, "High Lord, your real name is Ji Wuxiang, right? What is your purpose in doing all this with such deliberate planning? "
"Goal?" Ji Wuxiang laughed loudly, "You can make a bold guess."
Tang Zheng's mind raced, and he couldn't help but think of what Ji Wuxiang had once said about the Heavenly Chess. The Heavenly Chess was a chess game that used the entire world as a chess game. He had once thought that this was just an exaggeration, but now it seemed that this was Ji Wuxiang's true goal.
He wanted to control the entire world.
The only tool he had was the Heavenly Chess.
Was the Heavenly Chess really that useful? Could it help him achieve such a crazy wish?
Tang Zheng could not say for sure, because in the past few days, he had gradually realized that the Heavenly Chess's power was beyond his imagination. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to use the Heavenly Chess to absorb more star energy, he definitely would not have pretended to help Ji Wuxiang.
"You want to control the entire world?" Tang Zheng asked probingly.
Ji Wuxiang's eyes turned cold, then he smiled meaningfully, "You are indeed a smart person."
"Your ambition is really that great?" Tang Zheng was shocked.
"Is there a problem?"
"Who do you think you are to be able to do such a thing?" Tang Zheng said with disdain.
Ji Wuxiang did not think much of it, and calmly said, "If the ancient emperors could do it, why can't I, Ji Wuxiang, do the same? This world is like a plate of loose sand, everyone is doing their own thing, and everyone is thinking of their own benefits. At this time, we need a strong and powerful ruler to unify the eight wastelands and control the people. Only then will this world truly become strong. "
Ji Wuxiang's eyes flashed with madness.
"You're crazy, you're really crazy, you're a complete madman!" Tang Zheng was dumbstruck, he never thought that Ji Wuxiang would really have such crazy thoughts. This was simply reversing history, what era was this? This was modern society, who would want to cover the sky with one hand and rule the entire world? Was that even possible?
The common people would not agree, Ji Wuxiang was just digging his own grave.
Ji Wuxiang seemed to have seen through Tang Zheng's thoughts, and said with a mocking smile, "You think I'm crazy? Hehe, that's only because you're short-sighted, how can a sparrow know the ambitions of a great swan! "
"What ambitions of a great swan are you talking about, you're crazy." Tang Zheng pointed at Ji Wuxiang, and sternly scolded.
"You think it's impossible for me? If it was in the past, it would indeed be impossible for me. But now that I have the Heavenly Chess, the impossible can become possible. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. It was you who helped me complete this grand undertaking, hahaha … "Ji Wuxiang laughed complacently.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he was filled with regret, he really should not have believed him, and even more so should not have let him off so easily in order to absorb the power of the stars.
If he knew it would be like this, he definitely would not have done it.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world!
He could not help but rejoice, luckily because of Xiao Bai, the other party had revealed his fox tail, and he did not help him to truly perfect the Heavenly Chess, otherwise, that would be the most tragic thing.
"In the past, I wanted to recruit you, but in the end, I realized that people like you cannot be recruited. Between you and me, only one of us can remain in this world. Unfortunately, you won't have this chance, and you won't have the chance to see the day when I truly use the world as a chess piece." Ji Wuxiang wrung his hands and sighed.
"That day will never appear, and I don't want to see it!" Tang Zheng said resolutely.
