Daoist Cen was speechless!
Swordsman's words were very clear. Either everyone would depend on their own abilities to see how much merit they contributed, or Daoist Cen would be the main character and Swordsman would only be a supporting character!
The problem was that he couldn't bear the responsibility of being the main character. This was the crux of the problem!
He was also a decisive person, so he made up his mind after a slight hesitation. Things had already come to this point, so it was impossible for him to take the majority of the merit for himself. This wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to or not, but a matter of his own ability.
"Fine! I've stayed in the Immortal Court for too long, so I don't know how to deal with the ghosts of the mortal world. All these years, I've been mingling in the cultivation world of the Origin World, thinking about how to establish my Dao, but I don't have the true state of mind of a mortal cultivator!
How about this, you can say whatever you want, and I'll be the one in the end. As for how to distribute the merit after this, I'll leave it to Heaven's Will. What do you think? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. He really didn't want to fight for anything. With the great karma of the Heaven's Choice Continent in the future, why would he care about this little bit of merit?
However, Daoist Cen was an Immortal, so he couldn't compare to him in certain aspects. For example, his insight, his familiarity with the history of cultivation, and the use of various techniques. An Immortal's insight was on a completely different level from his!
However, Daoist Cen was unlucky. He placed himself in such a special environment, so all his strengths were useless. On the contrary, his ability to mingle in the mortal world was more important here. But Daoist Cen had never experienced this in the Immortal Court. After being banished to the Lower Realm, he was busy trying to crawl back to the Immortal Court, so how could he travel in the mortal world again?
Therefore, his plan seemed to be an armchair strategist and unrealistic.
"I have a question! Can the two of us really kill those ghost envoys in the Underworld? "
Daoist Cen was startled, but he immediately understood. However, he still refused to admit it. "So we can kill them …"
Lou Xiaoyi didn't show any mercy. "You were an Immortal before, but not anymore! Let's not talk about how awesome you were in the past, okay?
Neither of us can do it now! It's not a matter of strength, but a matter of rules! I've already tried it in the battle just now. I can temporarily destroy them, but they will immediately revive in the Underworld because they belong here. This is their resurrection pool!
Not only the Ghost Officers and Ghost Envoys, but also those weak ownerless souls. Even if they were so weak that a fart could destroy them, we still wouldn't be able to kill them!
You have the experience of an immortal, so you can judge for yourself whether I'm right or not. "
Daoist Cen couldn't help but admit that the Swordsman's words made a lot of sense. In terms of combat intuition, he was far inferior to the Swordsman. Of course, this was also why he had insisted on bringing him along.
If they couldn't kill him, it meant that their massacre was useless and meaningless!
Daoist Cen suddenly realized that his so-called plan had fallen into a dead end. Once this Swordsman opened his mouth, countless verbal cannons would come pouring in.
"Old Cen, how did you make the plan? We don't know the enemy's situation, we don't know the reason, and we don't know the principles. After thousands of years, we came up with such a stupid idea? This idea must have been learned from a novel, right? Do you dare to believe the words of those wretched literati? You're lucky you met me. If it were anyone else, you might not even be able to leave the underworld alive! "
Daoist Cen's embarrassment turned into anger. "What do you mean by thousands of years of planning? I've been working on my Great Dao for thousands of years. Recently, I've succeeded in my Great Dao. Only then did I remember that I should work on my merits. Only then did I remember about the Five Rings and the underworld. "
Lou Xiaoyi suddenly understood. "So you're just cramming at the last minute. You don't usually burn incense! If I'd known your plan was like this, I wouldn't have come with you to waste time! If I had the time, wouldn't it have been better for me to spend it in the Sword Dao Stele? "
Daoist Cen felt like he had nothing left to lose. "Stop being so eccentric! You came here because you thought you could take advantage of it, didn't you? Do you really think you're a saint? Now that I've split the initiative, you're still not satisfied?
What's with all this nonsense? Do you have a plan or not? If not, we'll all go home. You didn't help us this time! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed heartily. "See, I said what's on my mind after being provoked?
Forget it, we're all acquaintances, so I won't go too far. I'll say the ugly words first. Once I come up with this idea, I'm afraid we won't be able to split the merits evenly. I'm afraid I'll take the lion's share!
I, Lou Xiaoyi, am an honest man who doesn't do underhanded things. I'll tell you the result first. I'm not trying to take advantage of you!
Old Cen, if you think the merits here are important to you, then there's no need to rush to solve this matter. You can think about it slowly after we leave. Or you can find a companion who won't steal your merits. I won't say anything either way!
Who told me, Escort Lou, to be known throughout the world! "
Daoist Cen was really in a difficult position. He really needed to make some contributions in order to offset the bad impression he had of the Heavenly Dao due to disobeying the Immortal Court's orders. Therefore, he really didn't want to give this guy too much of his merits.
However, even if he couldn't think of a solution now, could he think of one after he left? It was best to cut the Gordian knot when it came to matters like this. The longer he delayed, the easier it would be for something unforeseen to happen. Especially before the end of the era, when the universe was changing faster and faster. Who knew what kind of demons would appear in the Underworld in a few more decades?
Find a companion? Perhaps it wouldn't be as big of a threat as this Swordsman, but what if it was a piece of trash? If he couldn't do it, what was the point of talking about splitting the merits?
He looked at Lou Xiaoyi with a burning gaze. "You said that you still have a big matter that can obtain the will of the heavens? If you promise me that you won't drag me down with you, then I'll leave the matter of the Underworld to you! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed inwardly. It was really hard for this has-been Immortal. In order to climb back up, he had to work so hard that it made one's heart ache. Unfortunately, his misfortune was that he met Lou Xiaoyi!
"Alright, alright. Old Cen, you were once an Immortal. How can you be so petty!
I promise you that when we're done with this matter, I won't forget about you for the next big matter!
So, have you made your decision? "
Daoist Cen didn't know how he was forced to this point. When Yi Zhantian saw this Swordsman, he felt that it wouldn't be hard to deal with him based on his past experience. However, when he really came into contact with him, he realized that he was a true demon that couldn't be touched.
It was a pity that he understood it a little too late.
"Just say it! I, Bei Zang Immortal Lord, was a famous person in the Immortal Court. Don't tell me that I would go back on my word. Furthermore, this matter is left to the Heavenly Dao to decide. No one can control it! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and nodded. "We indeed can't kill those ghost officials and ghost envoys!
But even if we can't kill them, there are some here that can be killed!
For example, those ownerless souls that have been oppressed for a long time? "
