On the third day of Lou Xiaoyi's stay in Yao Mansion, his judgment was confirmed.
In the middle of the night, a figure flitted across Lou Xiaoyi's room. It was light and silent, leaving no traces behind. Even the experts of the mortal world couldn't do it, but this person stepped on it as if it was flat ground.
This was the reason why he insisted on not cultivating in Yao Mansion!
If there was a fluctuation of spiritual opportunity, he would not be able to wait for this person! Only cultivators could invade to such a degree!
For this reason, he maintained the deepest level of quietness, but he put the true essence of his heavy ears to the maximum. This distance was still considered suitable, and he could ensure that he could hear to the greatest extent.
He was not worried that this person would harm his uncle. The Night City was not suitable for assassination. Everything was not clear yet!
Two hours later, the shadow went back the same way he came. The guards in the mansion did not notice him. Lou Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment and then gave up the idea of following him. His responsibility was to pull his uncle out of the mud pit, not to keep the Night Dynasty alive and eliminate traitors.
Besides, he did not have the ability to do so!
In the middle of the night, Second Uncle was resting in the study as usual. The quality of his sleep was good, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while. It was not easy for a person at his age who had great things on his mind. Lou Xiaoyi could easily judge this from his breathing.
There was no special defense in his room. He was a general who did not have military power, so he did not need it. Besides, it was not good for people with bad intentions to go in and out. The cultivator could take advantage of this, and so could Lou Xiaoyi.
The door was locked, but the windows were unlocked. In a city that had been peaceful for hundreds of years, no one could be vigilant all the time.
Lou Xiaoyi quietly sneaked into the room. The Body Movement of Ten Feet was not suitable for escaping in such a narrow space, but a cultivator's deeply transformed body could still make him as light as a feather.
She moved to Second Uncle's bedside and brushed the Shenmen, Baihui, and Yongquan acupoints as fast as lightning. This was to ensure that Second Uncle would not suddenly wake up. Some people had special abilities and would be extremely alert even in their sleep.
He slowly spread out his Spiritual Energy Force Field and tried his best to keep it within the scope of the study. After scanning it indiscriminately, he finally found an object that reacted with Spiritual Vigor. It was a golden tiger seal on the belt of the official's robe.
This thing was the seal of authority of a general like Second Uncle. Usually, he would keep it close to his body and never leave it. If the Emperor allowed him to take charge of the army one day, he would give him the Cloud Pattern Seal, which would combine with the Tiger Seal Seal. Then, he would have the right to lead an army. It could be said that this was the lifeblood of a general!
However, there was a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Vigor emanating from it. If Lou Xiaoyi hadn't deliberately searched for it at close range, he wouldn't have been able to discover its secrets.
Holding the Tiger Talisman Golden Seal in his hand, Lou Xiaoyi immediately understood the use of this item. It was the same as the Buddhist item made by Monk Qing Mu in the Jokhang Temple. This item could affect a person's mind and will!
However, the Buddhist item magnified the worship of the pilgrims to Buddha, while this golden seal magnified and bewitched the desires in the hearts of mortals. It could make people take actions that they wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
The control of the mind was not within the scope of a Qi Eater cultivator's ability. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could only dabble in it. Therefore, the origin of this item was very suspicious. Basically, it couldn't have been made by a Qi Eater Loose Cultivator.
There were two origins. One was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other was a disciple of a sect.
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to participate in the fight for the throne, there was no need for him to take the low-level route. Wasting his energy on a general like Second Uncle who didn't hold any real power was just pure nonsense.
Therefore, it could only be a disciple of a sect who was playing tricks! Or, it could be a collusion between a Loose Cultivator and a disciple of a sect.
Lou Xiaoyi could make these judgments, but he couldn't make tit for tat or aim at the target. This was because he was a layman when it came to controlling the mind. Not only this Tiger Talisman Golden Seal, but also Monk Qing Mu's Buddhist item. It was because he couldn't do anything about it that he was so angry at that time!
In his skill library, there were very few spells, not to mention the mind control that required the Divine Sense as the foundation. He was completely powerless. Lou Xiaoyi shook his head and was about to leave to think of another way. However, he suddenly stopped.
He came to Second Uncle's bed again. This time, he focused his attention on the floating cloud in his sea of consciousness that he had never been able to control.
He could feel the restlessness of the floating cloud. It was a feeling of wanting to devour. When he used the floating cloud to deal with normal people, he had never noticed this restlessness!
'If that's the case, does it mean that my floating clouds have the ability to devour abnormal mental powers?'
Floating luck belonged to the lowest level of the entire fate system. It was also the only so-called cheat that he could feel after he transmigrated!
Second Uncle's behavior had deviated from his normal way of thinking. In other words, his fate would change because of this. Maybe he would succeed in becoming a dragon, or maybe he would die and his family would be wiped out. However, none of these were the results that he was supposed to have. His fate might be ordinary. No matter who became the Emperor, he would be as ordinary as always, just waiting to die!
What his floating clouds wanted to devour was this kind of abnormal change of fate that was not of his own will?
That must be it! Lou Xiaoyi was very happy. He didn't expect Zhaoye and his team to have such an unexpected gain in the cheat!
He didn't choose to devour the floating cloud immediately. He needed to see more clearly. To be honest, he was an insignificant person in this fight for the throne. He didn't even have any value. The only person he could influence now was his Second Uncle. So, of course, he had to choose the best starting point. He came once and ended it. Who would want to endlessly waste time with these people who were fighting for power?
The days were dull and boring, but fortunately, there were still books to read. The mysterious cultivator came twice, the same person, mainly to arrange the details of the fight with Second Uncle. Lou Xiaoyi, with a pair of well-trained ears, roughly learned the truth of the plan from it.
This was not a fair fight. The Third Prince's family knew this very well. If he relied on the old Emperor to appoint the throne, he would have no chance at all. Therefore, he colluded with the cultivator.
It was impossible to complete a palace coup with just a small number of cultivators. It required the support of the palace's internal guards, the guards outside the palace, and even the mysterious yamen that the kingdom used to deal with cultivators. These things were complicated. When it came to Second Uncle, he only knew how to control the guards outside the palace.
He was just a screw in a machine, the kind that was dispensable. It could be seen from the fact that the cultivator who contacted him was only at the middle stage of Qi eating. Naturally, it was impossible for him to reveal more details.
Fortunately, Lou Xiaoyi didn't care. He didn't want to fully understand the truth. It was too far away from him and it would only cause trouble.
The only thing he did was to make some small changes to the golden tiger seal. He didn't change it, but made it so that Second Uncle would feel a tingling sensation after wearing it for a long time. This change would disappear after the tingling sensation, making it impossible to trace the source of the tingling sensation.
The purpose was to make Second Uncle complain to the cultivator about the discomfort of the golden seal. Of course, the cultivator didn't find anything after checking it. Therefore, he dragged it on and waited to see if there were any other changes!
Of course, the tingling sensation wouldn't be harmful. It was just like being pricked by a needle. The purpose of doing all this was to find an excuse. When the coup was finally launched, Second Uncle would have an excuse to not participate!
