In a forest in Haijing, Zuo Zhicheng was quietly stroking the Hades Serpent King beside him. At the same time, he was sensing the condition of the Black Bones in its body.
In the few days that he was away, the Black Bones in the Hades Serpent King's body did not show any adverse reactions. It seemed that this bone replacement Dao technique was feasible. However, everything would have to wait until all the bones in the Hades Serpent King's body were gradually replaced by the Black Bones.
Just as Zuo Zhicheng was stroking the Hades Serpent King, a man and a woman walked in from outside the forest. It was Feng Hou and Lei Shuai. The two of them looked at Zuo Zhicheng with a strange expression. It was as if they were understanding the man in front of them for the first time.
Feng Hou was the first to speak, "Sky Serpent King, why did you ask us to come here?"
The three of them stood in a strange position. It seemed that they did not trust each other. In fact, both Feng Hou and Lei Shuai were confused when they saw each other. They did not understand how Zuo Zhicheng managed to invite them over.
Zuo Zhicheng heard them and said calmly, "I wonder how the two of you have read the two books that I sent over?"
Feng Hou was shocked. She did not expect that she was not the only one who received the books. Even Lei Shuai had read them. She turned her head and saw Lei Shuai looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Lei Shuai looked at Feng Hou and said, "The theory is profound. It's something that no one has ever done before. It can be considered the learning of this era."
Feng Hou was shocked. She did not expect Lei Shuai to give such a high evaluation. Although she did not want to admit it, she had to admit that the books that Zuo Zhicheng gave her had opened up a new world for her.
Hence, the Wind Empress asked, "Zuo Zhicheng, where did you get this book? You only showed us half of them. It's obvious that you have something to ask of us. "
"That's right." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "I found these books in a ruin. I do want to communicate with the two of you. We can discuss Dao techniques and the principles of heaven and earth. However, before that, I have something that I need the two of you to help me with. "
Zuo Zhicheng obviously wanted to use the scientific theories from his previous life as bait to lure Feng Hou and Feng Shuai to help him deal with the Mad Monk and the others.
Zuo Zhicheng would never have shared such important theoretical knowledge with the two of them before he started cultivating the Mouth of the Netherworld. It would only lead to new dangers.
But now that he had cultivated the Mouth of the Underworld, his strength had increased rapidly. He was confident that he was not weaker than any of the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. He even vaguely felt that he had surpassed the four of them. That was why he dared to take out the bait and ask the Wind Empress and Lightning Marshal to help him.
Besides, although modern physics knowledge would be very helpful to the two of them, they would have to start learning from scratch. It would take a few years for it to really take effect. By then, Zuo Zhicheng would have been much stronger.
The reason why Zuo Zhicheng decided to invite the Wind Empress and the Lightning Marshal was that although he did not know the strength of the six people who came this time, he could already determine that their target was Haijing based on the continuous stream of information he received along the way. They were also asking about him.
Although he did not know if Shenzong was hiding among them, Zuo Zhicheng had arranged his forces according to his situation.
Not only did he invite the Wind Empress and Lightning Marshal, even Qing Yueyang, Qing Yueying and He Zizai from the Shadow Corps were invited. There were also the Fire Palace Taoist from Zhu Yuwen's residence, Shen Anan and Qing Yueqiu from Zuo Zhicheng's side. Even Li Xunyi had sent a letter over, but they had not arrived yet.
When the Wind Empress and the Lightning Marshal heard Zuo Zhicheng's words, they looked at each other. In the end, the Wind Empress said coldly, "Do you want us to work together to deal with the Courageous Marquis or the Rain Marshal? They are the only ones on this continent who can make the three of us work together.
However, I don't want to be enemies with them. The gains do not make up for the losses. I can give you something else in exchange for the contents of the book. "
The Lightning Marshal said, "Same for me. Now that the New World is filled with danger, Dongmu, Yinxi, Hante and even the Newmen are all ready to make a move. We can form an alliance, but it is not the time to fight with the Courageous Marquis."
Titled Taoist priests were the classic example of strong offense and weak defense. The Taoist techniques they mastered were enough to kill them a hundred or a thousand times over. Even Zuo Zhicheng was the same.
This was also the inevitable path of technological development and weapon refurbishment. Therefore, high-level Taoist priests often avoided fighting with each other. The Lightning Marshal would rather form an alliance to pressure each other than take the initiative to go against the Courageous Marquis.
Hearing their words, Zuo Zhicheng shook his head, "We are not fighting with the Courageous Marquis. It is another group."
"Wind Empress, you should know that a small team from the Hidden Scale Army was killed recently, right?" Zuo Zhicheng looked at the Wind Empress and said, "The team that killed your men is a team from the Central Plains. There are a total of six of them, and each of them is an expert. My target this time is them."
"Oh?" The Wind Empress raised her eyebrows. The Lightning Marshal also looked at him, as if he wanted to confirm if it was true.
The Wind Empress nodded, "There is indeed such a thing. Before I came, I was arranging for people to search for them. If it is these six bastards, I can consider it."
The Lightning Marshal was silent for a while before he said, "What abilities do these six people have?"
Zuo Zhicheng smiled and handed over the information he had prepared beforehand to the three of them. "The two of you can choose an opponent each. Leave the rest to us to deal with.
After we are done, I will give you the second half of the book. Other than that … "Zuo Zhicheng raised his right hand and a water bottle the size of his palm suddenly appeared. Beside the Four Seas Pot was the Stellar White Bone Knife.
"Other than that, I will also give the Four Seas Pot and the Stellar White Bone Knife to the two of you." Zuo Zhicheng purposely introduced the Stellar White Bone Knife to them as if he was afraid that they would not understand its function.
The Four Seas Pot was a treasure that even Shen Anan could not decipher, and the Stellar White Bone Knife was a weapon that Zuo Zhicheng had decided to give up. It was perfect to use it to win over the Wind Empress and the Lightning Marshal.
The Wind Empress squinted her eyes and looked at the Four Seas Pot in Zuo Zhicheng's hand. She said in disbelief, "How is this possible? This is the Four Seas Pot of the Rain Master. How did it fall into your hands? Did you defeat the Rain Master and take away his treasure? But … "
On the other side, the Lightning Marshal was looking at Zuo Zhicheng in surprise as well, and said, "I heard that the Rain Master had bestowed the Four Seas Pot to his disciple, Jiang He. Now, it seems that you had stolen the Four Seas Pot from Lin Shanjun's men at the grasslands."
"You don't have to worry about the origins of the Four Seas Pot. Now, I want to ask if the two of you are willing to take it?"
The Wind Empress chuckled as if she was an old acquaintance of Zuo Zhicheng's. "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" She glanced at the information and said, "This woman who uses poison is mine. I want the Four Seas Pot."
The Lightning Marshal mused to himself for a while before saying, "If that's the case, I will deal with this man." He pointed at Zhou Ge's portrait in the information.
