Chapter 141: Shocking conspiracy, the old monster is convinced, fishing with a straight hook, and the big guys gather ( words)
"Of course I do!"
After hearing Xu Gu's words, Bai Qiusheng was extremely excited, his eyes burning with longing.
Of course, the most desired thing for him was to be able to comprehend more of the remaining chapters of the Heavenly Demon.
Not only him, this proposal also has a fatal attraction to other old antiques who stay here.
"But this..."
However, Bai Qiusheng hesitated and muttered with great concern:
"But our opponent is the Qian family! It is one of the four major families in Lingxiao City. Its foundation is far greater than that of Cangjian Villa, and there are powerful people in charge.
“Even if we really do fight with Cangjian Villa this time and get hurt, it’s still a behemoth and not something you and I can deal with.”
Although he was burning with desire inside and full of desire for the remnants of the Heavenly Demon, he did not lose his mind.
It is too difficult to destroy the Qian family and seize the Qian family's demon remnants.
The Qian family has been able to dominate the city for thousands of years and has accumulated profound foundation, but they did not do this for nothing.
Even if you have all kinds of plans, it is difficult to shake its foundation.
This is the benefit of being strong enough.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiusheng advised Xu Gu, "Young... Sir, stop while you're ahead. I have to admit that you have amazing wisdom. With just a little effort, you caused Cangjian Villa and the Qian family to fight to the death, and you gained a lot from it.
“But the outcome of the fight to the death between the two sides was already determined.
"The victory will belong to the Qian family. There will be no situation where both sides suffer losses, and there will be no situation where the Qian family will be picked off by others."
Xu Gu glanced into the distance. At this moment, the battle between Cangjian Villa and the Qian family was still going on and intensifying. A battle of this scale would not end in a short time.
Xu Gu smiled, with a playful look on his face, and said to Bai Qiu Sheng, "Since you know the result, why not tell me about it?"
Bai Qiusheng had no idea what Xu Gu was thinking. He thought Xu Gu didn't believe him, so he coughed dryly and said confidently, "I've lived for so many years, what have I not seen?
“Don’t look at the current situation, the two sides are at a stalemate.
"This is because the Qian family did not expect that Cangjian Villa would not be able to hand over people, so they did not bring enough people, after all, they had to stay in the clan land. And Cangjian Villa wanted to make the Qian family suffer, to let them know that Cangjian Villa is not so easy to destroy, so that the Qian family would retreat, and then pay compensation and send the Qian family away.
"But, the only young master of the Qian family died this time. If we retreat like this, the prestige of the Qian family will be wiped out in the future. And the fighting has become so intense that the disciples in the family are all too excited. There is no such thing as a ceasefire.
“It won’t be long before reinforcements are sent from the Qian family’s territory.
“By then, Cangjian Villa will begin to completely collapse.
"But Cangjian Villa is not a pushover either, at least its top brass aren't. When they realize the situation is set and there is no chance of recovery, they will seek a way out and choose to defect."
After Bai Qiusheng finished speaking, he looked at Xu Gu and raised his eyebrows. He said with a hint of boasting, "I'm not exaggerating. The outcome of this battle is exactly as I expected."
"Really?" Xu Gu raised his lips, very playfully: "What if the other three of the four major families come together at this time to divide up the Qian family?"
"What did you say?" Bai Qiusheng's eyelids twitched and his voice suddenly became louder. He was obviously frightened by Xu Gu's words, but he immediately shook his head and said:
“If the three of them take action, they will definitely be able to easily divide up the Qian family at this time.
“But that’s impossible.
"In Lingxiao City, the four major families have always been united and will not take advantage of others when they are down. They will even lend a helping hand in times of crisis."
"What if I take out this piece of the Demonic Remnant from Cangjian Villa and ask them to take action?" Xu Gu asked with a smile.
"You want to invite them?" Bai Qiusheng was surprised and couldn't help but look at Xu Gu again. For a moment, he began to doubt Xu Gu's previous actions. Was it a blind cat catching a dead mouse? Otherwise, how could he have such a wild idea?
At the beginning, Xu Gu said that he would use the fragments of the Heavenly Demon in Cangjian Villa as a trade and asked someone to destroy the Qian family.
He also thought that the people Xu Gu wanted to invite were some powerful people in Lingxiao City, such as masters from other manors, small families in the city, or lone rangers.
Unexpectedly, they would invite the other three of the four major families.
"Didn't I say this before? The four major families will suffer together and prosper together. There is no way they will make a deal with us."
Bai Qiusheng emphasized, "Besides, even if they are tempted by the Heavenly Demon Remnant in Cangjian Villa, why would they want to kill the Qian family? Wouldn't it be easier to kill you and me? There would be no worries."
The reason why he was so sure that the other three families would not touch the Qian family was not because they valued friendship.
Rather, out of fear.
The reason is simple. Once they take action against the Qian family and the alliance becomes invalid, it will be like opening Pandora's box. They will have to guard against backstabs from other families in the future.
In order to avoid being backstabbed by others, you have to backstab others first.
It can be expected that the three major families will fight with each other, and eventually the fight will end with rivers of blood and piles of bones, leading to their demise.
This is a situation that none of the three major families want to see.
After hearing this, Xu Gu smiled even more brightly and said, "Of course, they can't do this with just this piece of the Heavenly Demon Remnant from Hidden Sword Villa. The benefits are not big enough. But what if there are two pieces? If two pieces are not enough, how about four pieces? How about five or six pieces?"
"Shh!"
Bai Qiusheng was a little impatient at first and wanted to twist Xu Gu's head to tell him that this wouldn't work. But when he heard the last sentence, his hair stood on end and his scalp exploded. He felt goosebumps in his heart and looked at Xu Gu in fear.
Yes, it's fear!
He suddenly felt that Xu Gu's smile, which should have been brilliant, was so creepy at this moment.
Xu Gu, who seems like a graceful and gentle gentleman, is more like a man-eating monster, which is terrifying.
"Are you a human or a demon?" Bai Qiusheng couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice.
"Me?" Xu Gu said with a smile: "From the current point of view, of course it is a human."
"..." Bai Qiusheng's mouth twitched, and he became even more timid. What kind of answer is that? Are you not going to be a human anymore?
Bai Qiusheng took a deep breath and said, "It's theoretically possible, it just depends on how you do it. It's still very risky, are you sure you want to do this?"
Xu Gu’s meaning is already very clear.
There is always a man who can afford a lot of money.
When the benefits are big enough, any ally can betray.
Since one piece of the Heavenly Demon Fragment Stone Tablet cannot impress the three major families in the city except the Qian family, what about the other two? That's right, two pieces. The second Heavenly Demon Fragment Stone Tablet is the one hidden in the Qian family.
If you still can't be convinced, what about the four pieces? Take the two pieces from the other two families!
If four pieces are still not enough, how about five, six, seven, or eight pieces? Bring the fragments of the Heavenly Demon Stone Tablet from other manors or families in Lingxiao City.
Of course Xu Gu could only take out a piece of the Heavenly Demon fragment, but he could depict a possibility.
One took the opportunity to seize the Heavenly Demon Fragment Stone Tablet from Cangjian Villa and Qian's family. From then on, his family would own three Heavenly Demon Fragment Stone Tablets, and the family power would expand rapidly.
Then, gradually annex the other two major families in the city and increase their strength again.
In the end, he swept across the entire Lingxiao City, terrorized the entire ancestral land of the Demonic Path, monopolized countless treasures and a large number of Heavenly Demon fragments, and had the possibility of being eternally invincible.
This possibility is, of course, a pipe dream. It is just a possibility and it will be difficult to achieve.
However, once it is proposed and announced to Lingxiao City, others will have no choice but to agree.
Countless forces in the entire Lingxiao City will be swept up in it and have no choice.
Because this is a conspiracy.
The three major families can be confident that they will not do so, but they cannot be confident that others will not do so.
In order to protect themselves, they had no choice but to do this first.
It was as if, in Xu Gu’s previous life, the Qin Dynasty established a unified dynasty. From then on, thousands of princes were completely helpless and were swept up in the trend of unification.
Either become the supreme emperor who unifies the world, or become a useless skeleton on the way for others to unify the world. There is no other choice.
That's why Bai Qiusheng lost his composure and looked at Xu Gu in such horror.
At this moment, he even felt that Xu Gu should not be a magic cultivator, but a national teacher. It was a waste of his talent for him to be a magic cultivator when he was so good at playing with people's hearts.
"It's very risky?" After hearing Bai Qiusheng's words, Xu Gu just smiled and said, "What kind of risk can there be?"
Bai Qiusheng didn't know whether Xu Gu was confident or just arrogant by nature, but he laughed along with him:
"Even if there is a little risk, what does it matter? We are all practicing magic, so what risks are we afraid of?
"Fuck you!"
Xu Gu narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to hear Bai Qiusheng's words, so he said directly, "Okay, you look very energetic. Then go and call the leaders of the three major families."
"Huh?" Bai Qiusheng's eyes widened.
"What?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me, a Foundation Establishment Stage expert, to gather the leaders of the three major families?"
"But... I... but..." Bai Qiusheng was speechless and began to stutter. He was at a loss as to what to do: "I'm afraid they will beat me to death."
Obviously, he still has some understanding of himself.
Knowing that he didn't have Xu Gu's brains, if he rashly invited the leaders of the three major families, if he messed up, someone could really die.
After all, they are all magic cultivators and don't play by the rules.
Xu Gu shook his head helplessly and said, "I will write three letters, and you deliver them one by one. Remember to only deliver the letters, and don't say anything else."
Bai Qiusheng immediately smiled happily and said, "Okay."
Bai Qiusheng was about to leave when he suddenly realized something and turned around and asked, "Where should I go to find you after I deliver the letter? You can't still be here, right?"
"This place really doesn't seem like a place to have a conversation. Then take me to the most prosperous restaurant in the city first." Xu Gu thought for a while and said.
After all, we have to receive the leaders of the three major families, so it can't be too shabby.
"Won't it be dangerous for you to stay in the restaurant alone?" Bai Qiusheng frowned and asked hesitantly.
Although there is order in the city, it is still a gathering place for demons after all, and each of them has evil intentions. Ordinary natives have backers and can barely survive in the city.
However, if a demon cultivator from outside rashly enters the city, he is likely to be hunted down by others.
After all, foreign demon cultivators are generally weak, rich, and have no background in the ancestral land. Killing them will not cause trouble, and they are excellent prey.
If Xu Gu were alone in the most prosperous restaurant, the probability of him being bullied would be very high.
"You shouldn't ask me, but should ask whether the restaurant is dangerous." Xu Gu said with a smile.
"As expected of Mr. Xu, he's quite devilish." Bai Qiusheng smiled and admired Xu Gu even more.
At this time, he already believed that Xu Gu had many fans outside who were in the fusion period.
He didn't know about other cultivators, but for the marginal demon cultivators, Xu Gu's personal charm was too high. Any demon cultivator who stayed with him for a long time would be completely convinced!
The situation of the demon cultivators in the fusion stage is unclear, but the demon cultivators in the spirit transformation stage are definitely no exception.
This person is simply a natural born demon cultivator! Too demonic!
The most important thing is that there is amazing wisdom.
On the way, Bai Qiusheng randomly captured a few demon cultivators and used the same trick to refine them into fierce horses to pull the carriage.
This time, he was very willing to serve as Xu Gu's groom, carrying Xu Gu all the way to Lingxiao City.
First, place Xu Gu in front of Lingxiao Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Lingxiao City.
The reason why I didn't come down to help Xu Gu open a private room and then send Xu Gu into the box was Xu Gu's idea.
Although the battle between the Qian family and Cangjian Villa will continue for some time and cannot be ended in a short time, there is no need to waste time on it. The most important thing is to invite the leaders of the three major families as soon as possible to discuss important matters together.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
The main reason was that Xu Gu wanted to see how tough the people in this legendary city were.
The demon cultivators in the city can be of great use to him.
"With my level, how can I destroy the Demonic ancestral land?" Xu Gu thought of this and recalled the conversation with Yin Xi. He was very puzzled and murmured: "At best, I can only destroy one or two cities."
Xu Gu's appearance immediately attracted the attention of countless demon cultivators around him.
He is so young, so weak, without any trace of the aura of being assimilated by the ancestral land of the Demonic Path, and he is so handsome.
At this moment, he is like a bright light in the darkness, and it is really hard not to attract other people's attention.
In particular, Xu Gu casually took out a dozen taels of magic gold from the storage bag in his arms, threw it to the waiter very casually, and said: "The best courtyard in the backyard, leave one."
Restaurants of this level have many separate courtyards in the backyard for receiving distinguished guests.
"This……"
The waiter's eyes widened instantly, and his hands holding the magic gold were shaking. The reason was simple, this magic gold was enough to buy half of the restaurant.
After all, most of the big names in the magic cultivation world don’t come here.
Normally, we only entertain some low- and middle-level magic cultivators. It is difficult to earn this extremely precious magic gold, let alone more than ten taels.
"Shh!"
Not only the waiter, but almost instantly all the demon cultivators in the surrounding area focused their attention on Xu Gu. Their eyes were fiery and full of greed, but more of it was awe.
They were not stupid and knew that Xu Gu was either the stupid son of a landlord or he was fishing for fun.
Obviously, no matter what the situation was, anyone who could easily produce more than a dozen taels of magic gold was not someone they could provoke.
But there are still a few desperate criminals with erratic expressions and evil intentions.
"Damn it! It's probably the spoiled young master from that outside force who disobeyed the teachings and wandered around the villages and towns and mistakenly entered the city. Even if we kill him, the outside forces can't do anything to us."
They looked at each other, gritted their teeth and showed ferocity, held their magic weapons, turned the magic power in their bodies, and wanted to pounce and kill.
Although this action is very dangerous, if it succeeds, they will have no worries for the rest of their lives.
Such benefits are enough to make them impulsive.
however,
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Before these people could rush out to kill, dazzling blood-red red spider lilies shot out and pierced through the eyebrows of these demon cultivators.
Immediately afterwards, blood splattered, vitality dissipated, and these demon cultivators fell to the ground together. Before they died, their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Isn’t this young man in front of me only in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
How come he could instantly kill even those in the Jindan stage with just one move?
The demon cultivators watching on the field twitched their lips and were frightened.
The reason is simple. For them, a Jindan cultivator is already a very powerful existence.
After all, even in the ancestral land of the Demonic Path, the concentration of spiritual energy and the rhythm of the Tao, as well as the cultivation factors such as the Demonic Path techniques, are stronger than outside, and the place is small, resulting in the density of masters being much higher than the outside world.
But it is impossible to do so. In a city, Nascent Souls are worse than dogs, and Spiritual Transformations are everywhere.
A Nascent Soul cultivator can be considered a small leader no matter where he is.
A cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation can even be called a saint and the ancestor in the ancestral land of the Demonic Path.
Especially, since he could kill early and middle Jindan stage cultivators so easily, they estimated that Xu Gu's current combat capability was at least in the late Jindan stage, or even at the peak of Jindan stage!
It is hard to imagine that he is so young, yet so powerful, and how profound his background must be.
Xu Gu looked calm. He glanced at the corpse being crushed to dust on the ground, then looked at the surrounding demon cultivators and said calmly, "There's no need to send trash to die. Let's get something stronger."
"Wow!"
The scene was instantly in uproar and everyone was completely shocked.
What does it mean?
Do you use straight hooks when fishing? Are you just sending people to their deaths?
Some demon cultivators felt Xu Gu's provocation and were extremely angry. They also longed for Xu Gu's wealth, but they held back in the end.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more clever one may not necessarily be, but one will definitely be more cautious.
In this situation, they really didn't dare to go on the court.
"Hiss." Xu Gu frowned slightly, looking a little disappointed and dissatisfied. "I miscalculated. I forgot that these guys, although they don't have much brains, are all very cowardly."
He said this directly, and all the demon cultivators around him could hear it, but still no one dared to take action.
Of course, they also notified everyone. The Jindan cultivator informed the Yuanying cultivator they were relying on, and the Yuanying cultivator informed the Shenhua cultivator they were relying on.
Although the Nascent Soul cultivators and the Spiritualization cultivators were also very tempted, they both felt that it was too dangerous. The other party was fishing with a straight hook, which meant that he was confident enough to kill all the 'fish'.
Seeing this, Xu Gu couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, fishing is not that easy, especially with a straight hook.
He did this on purpose, in order to establish his authority.
Originally, he thought it would be best to make a big fuss, attract groups of Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators to attack him, and then destroy them all.
At that time, meeting with the leaders of the three major families can save some trouble.
Unfortunately, these monks were much more cowardly than he had imagined.
The effect of establishing authority was much worse than he had imagined.
“Forget it, using the leaders of the three major families to establish authority will have a similar effect.
"The only pity is that the demon cultivators in the city are no different from those in the outside world. They are all very cowardly, and the local people are not as tough as I imagined. Maybe I will have to wait a little longer in Lingxiao City."
Xu Gu thought about it and didn't worry about it anymore and walked straight into the restaurant.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already come out tremblingly, and said in great fear: "Sir, it is an honor for our shop to have you come to our shop. How dare we accept your money?"
As he spoke, he wanted to return the dozen taels of magic gold that Xu Gu had just given to the waiter to Xu Gu.
"Take it. It will be convenient for you to renovate the restaurant when the time comes." Xu Gu said indifferently.
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner's legs and feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground. What kind of devil had he run into?
Judging from the situation, they are planning to cause a big disturbance in Lingxiao City.
For a moment, the restaurant owner's face turned pale. After instructing his servants to treat the guests well, he was ready to run away, fearing that the fish pond would be affected.
In the courtyard,
Xu Gu didn't wait too long.
Bai Qiusheng had already rushed over, looking extremely worried and with a strange expression on his face.
Obviously, even when he delivered the letter to the three major families, he had heard about what Xu Gu had done here, and he was shocked and frightened.
He probably knew that what Xu Gu did was to establish his authority and elevate his status so that the leaders of the three major families would not dare to look down on him and strengthen his negotiating power.
But, in his opinion, this was too risky.
What if the bet is wrong, and there really is a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Divine Transformation cultivator who is smart enough to act without thinking too much, then you will be doomed.
After the fright, he was once again amazed at Xu Gu's control over people's hearts.
Because Xu Gu made the right bet again!
After Xu Gu revealed part of his strength, no one dared to attack and kill Xu Gu again. They thought that Xu Gu was just fishing with a straight hook, and there must be an extremely powerful person behind him.
In addition, the entire Lingxiao City was filled with news of a mysterious figure from the outside world who was extremely powerful and overbearing.
Not only is he powerful in the outside world, but in the ancestral land of the Demonic Path, I'm afraid he also has a group of powerful people in the God Transformation Stage serving as his thugs!
If you bet right once, it is luck. If you bet right twice, it can still be said to be luck. But if you bet right three or four times in a row, it can only be strength!
"Have all the people been invited?" Xu Gu asked calmly when he saw Bai Qiusheng return.
"The letter has been delivered, but the person hasn't arrived yet." Bai Qiusheng's eyes moved and he said with a little shame.
He was afraid of being besieged, so after delivering the letter, he ran to the next house without waiting for a reply, under the pretext of saving time.
"Not waiting for a reply is a good thing." After listening, Xu Gu said casually, "They are not worthy of making my people wait."
Bai Qiusheng was completely dazed. He looked at Xu Gu in amazement and asked hesitantly, "Can you really command the powerful beings in the Fusion Stage at will when you are outside? Is your father the Tribulation Master?"
Xu Gu's attitude doesn't seem fake.
"What else?" Xu Gu said with a smile: "I am the young leader of the Ancient Bliss Demon Sect."
"Tsk." Bai Qiusheng obviously didn't believe it. He muttered, "If you really had this kind of background, you wouldn't rely on trickery for everything. Wouldn't it be better to just let the Tribulation Patriarch overthrow the Demonic Dao Ancestral Land for you to play with?"
"Hahaha." Xu Gu just laughed and looked at Bai Qiusheng and said, "You are not simple either."
"I'm just not stupid," Bai Qiusheng said proudly.
Bai Qiusheng then looked out the window with a look of hesitation, and asked uncertainly, "Will the leaders of the three families come? This is a time of great uncertainty, and I have only written one letter to each family."
Before he finished his words, there was a commotion outside. A series of powerful and intimidating figures rushed over the ground, and after looking down for a moment, their expressions became slightly solemn.
Obviously, these people are the ones who hold the power over the three major families.
I went out for a blind date today (failed), so I was a bit busy, so I updated less. I will continue to try to reach 10,000 words per day in the future.
In the subsequent plot, there will be a lot of awesome ideas, which are currently being laid out and will unfold soon. Please wait patiently for a while.
(End of this chapter)
