Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 255: Hunter and Prey
And now, the same is true of the conflict between him and Lu Bai.
As the level of distrust between both parties increases, it will be difficult to rebuild a relationship of trust.
They will only go further and further away. For example, this time he rushed here in a hurry because Lu Bai did not inform him and restarted the Heavenly Demons.
Lu Yu also suspected in his heart whether Lu Bai wanted to seize the remaining half of his magic heart and completely control this dimension.
This is very possible. After all, the benefits of controlling half of a dimension and controlling all of it are completely different.
In this regard, Lu Yu was actually aware of guarding against Lu Bai , just to counter Lu Bai when Lu Bai turned against him.
Once there is a crack in trust, the crack will continue to grow due to various things.
Looking at Lu Yu beside him, Lu Bai seemed to remember something.
"However, this time I entered quietly, and those intruders should not have discovered me."
"The forces under our command are now showing signs of opposition, so the intruders should be able to figure out that we are pretending to be in opposition in order to train our troops."
"But the conflict between the two sides has indeed reached a critical point. It is possible that you and I may really fall out because of this."
"Then why not have a fake show to really ignite the conflict, push the war forward, increase its intensity, and then use this to attract that person to show up."
"He sneaked in here and his target was me, so he would naturally use all the power he could."
"Once we pretend to have a real falling out, he will most likely choose to contact you."
Lu Bai gave his own plan.
However, Lu Yu held a different opinion on this.
“Do we need to continue to push for division?”
"If this continues, there might really be problems between us, and the situation in this dimension, which was originally improving, will become worse than before."
He advocated promoting confrontation between the two sides and waging a certain degree of war in order to eliminate the unstable factors that were attracted to the demons.
But I don't agree to push the war to the point of life and death. If that happens, there is a high probability that something will really go wrong.
I’m afraid that this fake play will become real.
"We still need to think about this matter." Lu Yu shook his head.
The 23rd contact battle between Bai Xiao and Xia Tian ended. Bai Xiao gained the advantage. Then Xia Tian was able to use Tao Anshen to immobilize the opponent and summon the evil spirit to help him escape quickly.
Lu Yu also took this opportunity to leave.
This time, the contact between the two parties was not so pleasant, at least it seemed so.
Lu Bai also broke through the space, left here, and went to the headquarters established by the demons in this dimension.
That is the original Tianlao City.
The abandoned city has been cleared out over the years, and many people with their faces covered are gathering, trading and communicating here.
After Lu Bai arrived here, he was immediately surrounded by a large number of demons and brought to the throne they had carefully built.
There is no need to worry about the issue of loyalty, as many of them even have the qualifications to transform into demons.
Of course, among these demons, there are also some who are rebellious.
These people are the demons that developed later. Because the power could not be transmitted before, the demon marks on their bodies are relatively weak.
For them, Lu Bai's existence was only confirmed a few weeks ago, and today they finally saw him in person.
As for how loyal he is, forget it.
After all, the members recruited by the Heavenly Demons are all restless guys.
If a person is law-abiding, he will not join the demons in this era of abundant resources and relatively small population.
So they really wanted to challenge Lu Bai's authority.
In their understanding, Lu Bai was able to build this huge group of demons by relying on the half of the evil core he obtained.
And the battle for the evil core back then, according to the current rating, was only about a nine-star incarnation.
Many of them have a strength of seven stars.
Although there is still a gap of two stars, they have more people and perhaps there is a possibility of defeating the strong with the weak.
But now, there are only some tentative intentions. If they really want to rebel, they dare not do so. After all, there are many strong people among the demons, and they are all loyal to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai didn't care about the little thoughts of these people.
These thoughts of wanting to rebel against him would change if time allowed them to do so.
During this period, Si Mo did a very good job.
Previously, Lu Bai's fundamental method of practice was the Mysterious Scripture of the Netherworld, Infinite Nirvana, and Rebirth.
Then a scripture was created to help most people integrate their own desires, and it is called the Demon-Controlling Sutra.
There is currently one scripture and one classic.
The number of these classics will continue to increase.
For example, now Si Mo has compiled the Tongxuan Baodian based on some information provided by Lu Bai.
At present, Lu Bai’s classics can be roughly divided into two categories.
Classics are mostly some exercises that can be practiced to enhance one's own strength and even to a higher level of life. It is a more specific method.
The current masterpiece is Lu Bai’s fundamental method.
Tongxuan Baodian is a practice method written by Si Mo to popularize it in most dimensions.
The scriptures are some more universal truths, or even some fables.
If everyone can recite it, chant it frequently, and gradually understand it, it can deepen their understanding of things and cultivate their own mental state without involving much spiritual power.
However, if one is gifted, one can summarize the methods of practice from the scriptures, and thereby achieve the corresponding classics.
One is the guiding ideology, the other is the specific method.
The combination of the two makes it a classic.
The Six Desires of the Heavenly Demon Sutra is not included in it. This thing has not yet become a real sutra, but more of a classic, a method of cultivating incarnations and refining weapons.
Only after Lu Bai summarizes the thoughts of the Six Desire Heavenly Demons and writes something that has universal application can it truly be listed as a sutra.
The Tongxuan Baodian is the practice method corresponding to the Yumo Sutra.
The complete state should be the classic Demon-controlling Method.
Anyone who is familiar with the Demon-Controlling Sutra can sense the Hanguang Cave Heaven from it, and then sense the Tongxuan Book in the dark.
Practicing Tongxuan Baodian at this time will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
This will become a common way for demons to be promoted in the future. By practicing the Tongxuan Book, they can be automatically promoted to the fifth level.
Various previous versions of the Heavenly Demon Secret have also been included in the Tongxuan Baodian.
On the contrary, if you are not familiar with the Demon Control Sutra, you will gradually be eliminated among the demons.
As long as you read the Demon Control Sutra carefully, you will gradually accept Lu Bai's ideas and then submit to Lu Bai's ideas.
Therefore, there is no need to rectify the atmosphere within the demon group.
If you want to use my power, you must acknowledge my thoughts. If you acknowledge my thoughts, you will only become closer and closer to my existence and become a demon under my control.
Anyone who truly has ulterior motives will not go far among the demons.
Therefore, the demons in heaven were never something Lu Bai was worried about.
The classics belonging to Lu Bai have been transmitted to most fantasy dimensions of the earth by Lu Bai through the sovereignty of the earth.
Currently, most of them are still in the seed stage, but as time goes by, they will blossom and bear fruit, causing the number of demons to increase.
Even if the dimension of Dahua is lost, it will not hinder Lu Bai much.
With the extra-dimensional travelers being temporarily intercepted, the enemies this time can only be those travelers returning from the extra-dimensional world, who are basically moon and star level.
It’s not that there aren’t more advanced ones, but they are not in a hurry to come back, and they are not so easily sniped by outside dimensions.
Lu Bai is only at the surface level, but he controls most of the sovereignty of the earth. No matter what, he will face some criticism.
This time, the unusual movement in the Dahua dimension was a test and a provocation.
Lu Bai knew this very well, but he still rushed to this dimension in person. This was to give those returnees a hard time so that they would cause less trouble.
It's just a story of hunter and prey.
Now the returnees think they are hunters, so they set a trap in Dahua, Lu Bai's former "nest", to attract Lu Bai.
He wants to capture Lu Bai as his prey, teach him a lesson, and then gain sovereignty over the earth.
As for who is the hunter and who is the prey, it is hard to say.
At least now, Lu Bai has disguised himself as a prey.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Yu will be found by those people."
"What kind of trap will they set?" Lu Bai guessed with his own thoughts.
Lu Yu's strength is not as strong as his own, and can even be said to be very weak, but he controls half of the dimensional core. With the help of the dimensional core, he has some trump cards and is fully capable of threatening the surface level.
Moreover, this dimension is somewhat special. It is at a stage where the invasion of the abyss dimension has been suspended, which can be used as a topic for discussion .
All of Lu Bai's behaviors after his arrival today were actually sending out some wrong messages.
Pretending to be a prey, it can't wait to fight back.
And he deliberately created a disagreement between himself and Lu Yu.
No matter whether Lu Yu has any other ideas or not, as long as those people appear and contact Lu Yu, it will be considered a success.
While the hunter is catching prey, the prey is also waiting for the opportunity to flip at any time.
It would be boring if those people realized that I am not easy to deal with and turned away.
If that were the case, Lu Bai would be better off removing all the "information" about his past from the beginning, so that most people would not know his true identity.
The reason why he still retained part of the past was to make the hunter fall into his own trap.
At this time, in the inner hall of the Incarnation Hall, in front of a huge incense burner, spirit tablets stood one level after another.
Lu Yu suddenly felt unfamiliar footsteps and paused slightly while burning incense to his ancestors.
Then, a middle-aged man in a suit was seen, also holding three incense sticks. He bowed three times towards Lu Pan's spirit tablet at the top, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
