The so-called Lotus Ring at the Center of the Sky was created according to the idea that the heavens had no heart and the lotus had no ring. It was a set of mysterious martial arts that followed the heavens. Therefore, when An Long felt the strange feeling from his belly, he immediately turned his feet and moved his body to block the qi strength sent by Ito Sei. At the same time, he moved his body and dodged Ito Sei's qi strength. At the same time, he moved his body and dodged Ito Sei's qi strength like a tumbler that suddenly changed its direction. He dodged Ito Sei's side and directly pounced on Wei Zhenzhen who was standing behind Ito Sei on the right …
Seeing a black shadow coming at her, Wei Zhenzhen's face immediately showed a touch of surprise.
In the next moment, Wei Zhenzhen only felt the scene in front of her change. She instantly left her original position and appeared next to the bramble door frame. She looked at An Long with a stunned expression as he missed. Her hands danced and stimulated a delicate lotus of True Qi to attack the back of Sei Itō's head.
"Pa!"
With a soft sound, Sei Itō, who had been sitting upright all this time, suddenly cracked and disappeared into thin air.
"Crackle ~"
Immediately after, there was another soft explosion. At this time, An Long's fat body stopped and he staggered forward, revealing Sei Itō's extended right index finger.
"Bang!" An Long's stumbling footsteps paused, and he quickly fell to one knee on the ground, his four limbs twitching slightly.
"Was he affected by Inner Qi …" Sei Itō thought to himself as he looked at An Long's reaction.
It turned out that the "crackle" sound was the sound of an electric explosion when Sei Itō used the Flickering Charge Technique. However, the moment the electric current turned into a nerve interference signal and rushed into An Long's body, it was blocked by the Sky Lotus True Qi that was rapidly circulating in his body. Therefore, it didn't achieve the greatest effect of the Flickering Charge Technique — losing control of the body. Instead, it only affected some of An Long's movements, which gave him the opportunity to charge forward until he fell to one knee and his limbs twitched.
"Who are you? Why are you joking with me like this?" An Long asked in a deep voice as he silently circulated the Sky Lotus True Qi to calm his body.
"Don't you know who I am?" Sei Itō asked with a chuckle as he walked slowly toward An Long.
"What are you talking about? I'm sure I've never had any contact with you. How do I know you? " An Long, who saw Sei Itō approaching from the corner of his eye, became anxious. He quickly circulated the Sky Lotus True Qi while he tried to use words to buy time.
"You're lying. As the Sect Master of the Demonic Sect's Heavenly Lotus Sect, you have control of the Heavenly Lotus Sect's enormous information network established through the Exchange of Trade. How could you not know who I am? "Sei Itō stood beside An Long and once again stretched out his hand to slap the back of An Long's neck.
When he heard Sei Itō call out his identity, An Long immediately knew that the other party was here to cause trouble for him. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and directly circulated his True Qi in place of the Divine Essence signal to stimulate his body's movements. He spun and charged into Sei Itō's embrace. At the same time, his hands formed the shape of a lotus and slammed toward Sei Itō's chest.
"Pa!"
With another soft sound, Ito Sei, who suddenly appeared behind An Long, gently patted An Long's cervical vertebra with his palm, sending the nerve interference electric current created by the newly strengthened Flurry Dash Jutsu into An Long's body.
"Pu!" After receiving this attack, An Long, who had just dispersed Sei Itō's afterimage, seemed to have gone mad. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. Then, he fell to the ground weakly.
Under normal circumstances, An Long, who had been hit by the Flickering Charge Technique, would only lose control of his limbs. However, the key was that An Long was currently using his Inner Qi in place of the Flickering Charge Technique to drive his body. Therefore, when the two sides clashed, An Long, whose Inner Qi was in chaos, immediately felt stifled. Only then did he spit out a mouthful of blood.
As for why Wei He felt stifled in his heart, this was all thanks to the Heaven Heart Lotus Ring. The heart of the Sky Lotus Ring was not only the so-called Sky Heart and Sky Dao, it also referred to the heart in a person's body. It was the foundation of the Sky Lotus Ring technique. According to the cultivation requirements of the Sky Lotus Ring, if the heart acupoint was not opened, it would be impossible to cultivate the Sky Lotus Ring!
"Good technique," An Long, who was lying on the ground, said in a muffled voice.
Sei Itō smiled at An Long and squatted down beside him. He stretched out his hand and placed two seals on An Long's back, where his heart was and where his Dantian was. He completely sealed An Long's Inner Qi.
"What do you want me to do?" Sensing the changes in his body, An Long's expression changed slightly and he asked in a very straightforward manner.
"The Heavenly Demon Book in the hands of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and you will listen to my orders from now on." Sei Itō flipped his hand and took out a contract scroll. He unfolded it and placed it in front of An Long. "However, I know the methods of the people of the Demon Sect. If you want me to believe you, sign this contract. Otherwise, I don't mind refining you into a puppet."
"Okay," An Long's eyes turned and he agreed very straightforwardly.
Seeing that An Long agreed, Sei Itō, who was not afraid of An Long's demonic nature, patted An Long's neck with his left body and instantly regained control of his right hand.
"First, sign the contract and use your blood as ink," Sei Itō ordered.
Hearing this, An Long did not beat around the bush. He immediately moved his newly recovered right hand to his mouth and bit his index finger. Using the blood that quickly flowed out, he wrote his name on the scroll.
In the next moment, the ordinary-looking scroll suddenly emitted a dim light. It quickly absorbed all of An Long's blood on the scroll. Then, the dim light turned into a ray of light and shot into An Long's forehead.
Seeing this series of changes, An Long's expression immediately changed. He knew that he was unlucky.
Sei Itō patted An Long's neck again and removed the Flickering Body Dash's effect. He stood up and said, "You must have been thinking about signing a stupid contract or something, so you didn't look at the contents of the contract. But it's okay, you can look at it now."
"Oh, right, don't think that you can just tear that thing off. Not only will that not make the contract invalid, but it will also make the contract disappear. The moment the scroll is destroyed, it will also activate the contract's default clause and burn your soul. So be careful of the carcass, "Sei Itō pretended to be kind and reminded An Long who got up from the ground and reached out to grab the scroll.
Hearing this, An Long's hand that was reaching for the scroll paused for a moment. He then grabbed the scroll again and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Whew!" After a moment, An Long finished reading the contract's terms and conditions. He didn't find anything that was too disadvantageous for him. He let out a long sigh and slightly relaxed.
Sei Itō saw this and smiled. He used Teleport and transferred the contract scroll from An Long's hand to his own hand. He flipped his hand and threw it into a space in the Rubik's Cube world that was specifically used to store these contract scrolls.
"Go and get the Tianmo Book," Sei Itō said to An Long whose eyes were slightly blinking because the contract scroll in his hand suddenly disappeared.
"Yes." An Long very sensibly replied and then turned to leave the room. It wasn't until ten minutes later that he returned with a strange thread-bound book.
He already had half of the Tianmo Book from Laojun Temple and the Tianmo Book from Mending Heaven Path. Sei Itō looked at the material and knew that the book in An Long's hand was the original Tianmo Book from the Heaven Lotus Sect. Thus, when An Long handed it over, he didn't hesitate to take it and casually flip through the contents. He then casually threw it into the Rubik's Cube world's library.
Seeing the Tianmo Book disappear, An Long's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"I wonder why Sir came to Shu this time …" An Long asked.
"I'm looking for trouble with you and Zuo Youxian. I want to take the Tianmo Book from your hands and take control of Shu," Sei Itō said without hiding anything.
Hearing Sei Itō say this, An Long's heart fiercely jumped.
"Mister, you mean to unify Bashu and take it under your command?" Ignoring Ito Sei's first purpose, he directly asked the second purpose as the main topic.
"Yes," Sei Itō casually nodded in response.
"Then how much does Sir know about the situation in Shu?" An Long asked again.
"I only know that there are more ethnic minorities here. On the surface, it's controlled by Ba Meng, Chuan Gang, and Duzun Bao, "Sei Itō said after thinking.
"That's right, but Sir missed out on two. That's He Yi Sect and Chuan Nan Casino." An Long nodded and added, "Among them, He Yi Sect's sect leader Xia Miaoying and Ba Meng's beauty Sina are master and disciple, so they can be considered one faction. However, Chuan Nan Casino is different. On the surface, it's supported by Huo Qingqiao. In fact, it's secretly in contact with Ba Meng. If I'm not wrong, the two sides should be allies. "
"In addition, Chuan Nan Casino's Huo Qingqiao has a son named Huo Jitong, who is Xia Miaoying's adopted son. Therefore, Chuan Nan Casino's relationship with Ba Meng is quite ambiguous."
"In other words, if I want to take over the entire Shu, I can only take down Duzun Bao's Jie Hui, Ba Meng, Chuan Gang, He Yi Sect's Xia Miaoying, and Chuan Nan Casino's Huo Qingqiao?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes," An Long confirmed.
Sei Itō's right index finger lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, making a "thump, thump, thump …" sound.
"Use your name to call Ba Meng and Chuan Gang over. If possible, try to call Xie Hui over as well," Sei Itō suddenly said.
"Ba Meng and Chuan Gang's people are easy to deal with. They will give me some face, but Xie Hui's side is a bit difficult to deal with. To be honest, in the past few years, Xie Hui and I have become distant due to some things. The only thing we lack is an opportunity to break off our relationship," An Long said with a bit of difficulty.
"That's why I want you to try your best. If you really can't, then wait until I deal with Chuan Gang and Ba Meng," Sei Itō said lightly.
"If that's the case, there won't be a problem," An Long said with a smile.
"What's the soonest time I can see them?" Sei Itō asked.
"Tonight. At the latest, tomorrow noon!" An Long replied with certainty.
"Well, you go and invite him. I'll go and meet Zuo Youxian first. How can I let him fall behind you?" Ito Sei stood up and looked at An Long with a smile that was not a smile on his face. He looked at An Long with a humble face and said.
"Hehe …" An Long laughed dryly and didn't refute.
This group of people from the Demon Sect were all like this. They were all cold-blooded people who thought that since they couldn't get better, they couldn't get better either. Especially when he knew that Sei Itō's target was Zuo Youxian, An Long couldn't wait for Zuo Youxian to get worse.
Sei Itō was too lazy to pay attention to this. He directly left the shop with the pretty maidservant Wei Zhenzhen and the sword attendant Fu Junzhuo under An Long's escort. They walked toward the temple where Zuo Youxian was while admiring the scenery of Sichuan.
After an hour or so, the three of them, who were basically strolling, finally arrived at a huge group of Daoist palaces on a small mountain when the sky was turning dark and night was about to arrive.
However, what was surprising was that the primitive Taoist temple, which shouldn't have many people from Sichuan, was actually flourishing here. Even at this time, there were still many people from Sichuan who went to the temple to offer incense and worship. Therefore, although Sei Itō and the other two came here in a strange way, they didn't seem too out of the ordinary.
"It seems that Zuo Youxian is very good at running a temple," Sei Itō, who was a little surprised, walked into the temple with Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo.
"No wonder!" After seeing the statues of the gods worshiped in the temple, Sei Itō finally understood why the primitive Taoist temple, which only believed in Taiyi and Primitive, was so popular in Sichuan. It was because in addition to Taiyi and Primitive, there were also statues of the ancestors of the Sichuan people. A statue of a Ba person with big eyes and a long nose was placed behind the altar to receive the worship of the people of Sichuan.
"This Zuo Youxian is very thoughtful." Sei Itō curled his lips and then ignored it. He then used his mind power to form a wide-area illusion to cover himself, Wei Zhenzhen, and Fu Junzhuo. They left the temple and walked to the backyard of the temple.
Since it was a primitive Taoist temple, the architecture more or less followed the architectural rules of Taoism. This made it a lot more convenient for Sei Itō, who had lived in the heavenly Wudang Mountain for five to six years and was familiar with the layout of Taoist temples. According to the layout, it should be the room where the temple master lived.
"You two wait here. I'll be back soon," Sei Itō said to Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo, who were beside him.
"Okay," the two of them agreed at the same time.
Sei Itō waved his hand and placed a layer of restriction around the two of them. Then, he used his mind to teleport and flashed into the room in front of him. Then, a thin, black-haired old man wearing an exquisite dark blue Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a bright yellow futon. He had a long and narrow face, and his facial features were deep. At first glance, one could tell that he was not of pure Chinese descent. He was sitting cross-legged on a bright yellow futon. His eyes were closed, and he was meditating.
However, at this moment, the man in the Taoist robe opened his eyes. Two sharp lights instantly shot out from his eyes and reflected on Sei Itō, who had suddenly appeared in the room.
