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.
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 of the attack and was directly enveloped by 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 and walked out from the darkness. Under the illumination of the firelight, his figure was elongated and looked very stern.
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 crumble, 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 to guess that Ji Wuxiang was the High Lord.
In this way, many problems were easily solved.
Tang Zheng came to a sudden realization, but he also felt a chill in his heart. He had been dealing with a guy with ulterior motives all this while, and had even helped him perfect the Heavenly Chess. This was practically a walk in the park between the gates of hell. He believed that once the Heavenly Chess was completed, then Ji Wuxiang, or rather, the High 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 constricted 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 by your hands? You can 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 personally tested Ji Wuxiang before, 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 were dispelled. From the looks of it, it was only Ji Wuxiang's meticulous plan to lure him into the trap and deepen their relationship, making him help Ji Wuxiang perfect the Heavenly Chess.
This step by step arrangement was extremely exquisite, one step after another, making it hard to guard against.
Tang Zheng knew that he did not have this kind of ability. The Azure Dragon Hall Master was indeed not an ordinary person, and he could easily deceive others.
"How did you escape from the laser?" Ji Wuxiang asked suspiciously.
He was very confident in his high tech weapon, but he did not expect Xiao Bai to be safe and sound. Moreover, it seemed that it had undergone a mutation and its power had increased by quite a bit.
Wasn't this letting it off easy?
Xiao Bai chuckled and said disdainfully, "You want to kill me with just a little laser? You're underestimating me too much. I'm Master's pet, how can I be so weak? Instead, it was your laser that helped me. I found out that I can absorb such a powerful energy and it can help me increase my strength. "
"That's impossible!" Ji Wuxiang blurted out subconsciously.
But everything was placed in front of him, nothing was impossible. That was just his own wishful thinking.
Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai had once absorbed the blood essence of a Beast King. That was also a very powerful energy that helped it increase its cultivation. From the looks of it, it was very tolerant of energy. Although the laser was powerful, it did not harm it and instead helped it.
He could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Bai had this ability. Otherwise, he would never be able to see Xiao Bai again, and he would not be able to see through Ji Wuxiang's true colors so quickly.
"Ji Wuxiang, in order to trick me, you spent a lot of effort last time, writing and directing such a good show. 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 conjured another High Lord out of thin air, so there must be something fishy going on.
And that fake High Lord had left a very deep impression on him. It was not much different from a real High Lord, and its cultivation was very strong.
Ji Wuxiang's mouth 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. Don't tell me you won't 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, and there was a huge difference between him and the average person.
"However, there is one thing you are 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.
"Roar, roar — —" 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 still aren't my match now." Ji Wuxiang snorted.
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. He only stared at Ji Wuxiang with a pair of fiery red eyes that were like two suns.
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 power of the Heavenly Chess 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 wouldn't 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."
"Is your ambition 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 disdainfully.
Ji Wuxiang did not think much of it, and said calmly, "If the ancient emperors could do it, why can't I, Ji Wuxiang, do it too? The entire world is like a plate of loose sand, everyone is doing things their own way, and everyone is scheming for their own benefits. At this time, we need a powerful ruler to unify the entire world and control the world. Only then will the world truly become powerful. "
Ji Wuxiang's eyes flashed with madness.
"You're crazy, you're really crazy, you're a madman!" Tang Zheng was dumbfounded, he didn't think that Ji Wuxiang would really have such crazy thoughts. This was simply reversing history, what era was this? This was modern society, who still wanted to cover the sky with one hand and rule the entire world? Was that even possible?
The common people wouldn't agree, Ji Wuxiang was 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? Haha, that's only because you're short sighted, how could a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan! "
"What kind of ambitions are you talking about? You're crazy." Tang Zheng pointed at Ji Wuxiang, and scolded sternly.
"You think it's impossible for me? If it was before, it was indeed impossible, 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, ha, ha, ha … "Ji Wuxiang laughed proudly.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he was filled with regret, he really shouldn't have trusted him, and even more so shouldn't have let him off so easily in order to absorb the power of the stars.
If he knew this would happen, he definitely wouldn't have done this.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world!
He couldn't help but rejoice, luckily because of Xiao Bai, the other party revealed his fox tail, and he didn't 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 can't 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 said with a sigh.
"That day will never appear, I don't want to see it!" Tang Zheng said resolutely.
