Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 33 Reactions from all parties
Half an hour ago.
A secret place in Yuanshan City.
Luosha's face looked heavy.
The monks from the underworld around were silent, fearing that they would bring bad luck to Lord Rakshasa.
The Crying Soul Master who brought the Heavenly Secret Mirror with him has not returned yet, and they have a bad feeling about this.
…
"Everyone evacuate Yuanshan City and abandon all arrangements in Yuanshan City." Luosha suddenly stood up and gave the order.
The hearts of the underworld monks on the scene immediately fell to the bottom.
——Master Kuhun is carrying the Heavenly Secret Mirror. It is impossible for everyone to evacuate without waiting for Master Kuhun, unless...
Rakshasa's face was as gloomy as water.
Because, just now, he sensed that the inner demon poison in Zhenren Crying Soul was dead.
After years of planning, he did not hesitate to expose his identity as the lord of Yuanshan City, which he had run for a long time, and even dispatched soldiers and beasts. The Void Demon even took a risk and took action.
The result was nothing.
Miserable defeat!
He could already imagine how other members of the underworld would view their Yuanshan City Underworld after this battle.
Obviously everything is going according to plan.
But this is the final result.
It seems that things started to go wrong after Blood Corpse Master was captured.
Could it be that Zhi Shoulou really had extracted some information from the blood corpse by torture?
Rakshasa couldn't believe it.
But he didn't have time to think about that now.
The most urgent task is to stop the loss in time. He needs to evacuate all the remaining members of the underworld from Yuanshan City.
——This operation is too large and the traces revealed are difficult to hide. If we don’t withdraw, we will die.
Under Luosha's instructions, monks from the underworld quickly sent out spiritual messages to notify the rest of the underworld members.
A monk from the underworld took out a round roulette wheel made entirely of black gold.
This is the formation plate, used to activate the formation.
The monk from the underworld placed the spirit stone into the array plate.
Soon, lines began to light up on the ground where they were standing, extending and weaving into a hexagram formation.
[Small teleportation array].
"Let's go!" The underworld monks and Rakshasas on the field stepped into the hexagram formation.
Soon, the light became brighter.
After the light faded, all the people in the formation disappeared.
…
Zhenjiang City.
In a secret house.
The teleportation array glowed with light.
The underworld cultivator who was just in Yuanshan City appeared in the magic circle.
Through the teleportation array, Luosha and his group instantly arrived at Zhenjiang City, thousands of miles away, from Yuanshan City.
"Dismantle the teleportation array." Luosha ordered.
Soon, a monk from the underworld took the order and stepped forward to dismantle the teleportation array.
In this way, even if Yuanshan Tower found the teleportation array in Yuanshan City, they would have no way of knowing where their teleportation destination was.
…
In Yuanshan Tower.
Jiang Rong looked at Tan Tai Qing Run, who had been as frosty as ice since returning from Lu Qing Shan, and found it very interesting: "Could it be that Lu Qing Shan offended our Tan Tai Tower Master?"
Tan Tai Qingrun rolled his eyes at Jiang Rong and said unhappily, "Uncle Rong seems to be very free. How can you still tease me?"
Jiang Rong said calmly, "I am indeed very free now. In this battle, the forces of the Underworld in Yuanshan City were almost wiped out. This is the biggest victory that Yuanshan Tower has ever had. If the Underworld is not stupid, I think they have completely evacuated Yuanshan City According to this situation, not only am I very free now, but I will probably have nothing to do for a long time to come."
Tan Tai Qing Run felt helpless about what Jiang Rong said, and no longer concealed it, and said: "You still call Lu Qing Shan a kid, in my opinion, calling him an old weirdo is too kind to him. Lu Qing Shan was a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining two days ago. Do you know what realm he was at when I went to see him today?"
Tan Tai Qing Run paused, and raised his voice slightly: "At the eighth level of Qi Refining, his cultivation increased so much in two days. I dare to assert that this Lu Qing Shan must be someone whose body was possessed. Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing happen in the world?"
Jiang Rong was also stunned when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "We had this guess before, and now it seems to be confirmed."
Tan Tai Qing Run said angrily: "But when I asked him, he kept making excuses and kept saying that he was Lu Qing Shan from the Lu family."
Tan Tai Qing Run spat softly and said, "I don't know how old you are, you old monster, yet you are still so shameless."
"Maybe there is another hidden story?" Jiang Rong pondered for a while and said meaningfully.
"Is there something else going on?"
Jiang Rong nodded and explained, "You see, after taking over another's body, everything has to start from scratch. Even if you have previous experience, it is not easy to restore your previous state. If you are not really desperate, which cultivator would easily choose to take over another's body?"
Although possessing another's body seems to have many advantages, it actually has many limitations.
There are two iron rules to follow when it comes to taking over another's body.
First, there is a limitation on cultivation level. Only cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or above can possess another's body. Moreover, no matter how high or low their cultivation level is, a cultivator can only possess another's body once in his or her entire life. This is determined by the laws of nature .
If there were no such iron rule, then high-level cultivators would be able to break free from the limitations of their lifespans and continue to cultivate by taking over other bodies. This would then be a mess in the world.
Second, only when a person with higher cultivation level attempts to take over the body of a person with lower cultivation level can it be successful. The greater the difference in cultivation level, the safer it is.
Yes, possession of another's body is not 100% successful, and the probability of failure is still very high.
In order to succeed in taking over another's body, cultivators generally need to prepare corresponding auxiliary formations and elixirs to increase the chances of success.
Because if the possession of another's body fails, both the body and the soul will be destroyed, and the soul will be scattered and will not be able to enter the underworld.
Therefore, many times, monks would rather choose to die in exchange for a chance to reincarnate, rather than gamble on the so-called method of possessing another's body.
Tan Tai Qing Run also understood this point very quickly: "You mean, Lu Qing Shan was forced by a hostile cultivator to take over another's body and cultivate again. The reason why he has been unwilling to admit that he took over another's body is that he is afraid that his identity will be exposed and his enemies will come looking for him."
Jiang Rong nodded: "Moreover, his enemy is most likely a demon cultivator from the underworld!"
"First, he knows so much information about the underworld that even we in Zhishou Tower don't know. Secondly, you and I can all see his hatred for the monks in the underworld. The underworld has such important information about Qi Jianshou's plan, but he only asked us for the Blood Corpse Master and didn't put forward any other conditions. How is this different from giving it away for free? If he didn't have a deep hatred for the underworld, how could he be so generous?"
Tan Tai Qing Run agreed, "That's right. Although we don't know the true identity of this 'Lu Qing Shan', the enemy of our enemy is our friend. In this case, we should try our best to make friends with 'Lu Qing Shan'. Apart from anything else, making friends with a Nascent Soul cultivator will definitely not be a loss even if he loses all his cultivation!"
Jiang Rong laughed: "Master Tantai, what you should be most concerned about now is what reward Zhishou Tower will give you this time. This time, the layout of the underworld in Yuanshan City has been almost uprooted. With such a great achievement, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Yuanshan City for long."
Zhishoulou has never been a corrupt organization that ranks people based on seniority.
In Zhishou Tower, promotion of positions depends entirely on ability.
Although Tan Tai Qing Run had only been promoted to the position of the head of Yuan Shan Tower for three years, the results of this battle were so brilliant that it seemed that her next promotion was not far away.
