484. Sheep entering tiger’s mouth
On the "mountainside" shrouded in clouds and mist, a thin figure stepped into this place alone.
He walked alone to the building in the middle of the open space, raised his hand and pushed aside the wooden doors and walked in. Without any hesitation, he walked up to the Taoist priest who was sitting with his eyes closed, and sat down in the seat opposite him.
.
"You came earlier than I thought." Xiaoyao said.
Ma En naturally stretched out his hand to the tea brewed for him:
"I made a promise with you."
Xiaoyao raised his brows and looked at him:
"Don't you still have some troubles that you haven't solved recently? I thought you would come to me after it was settled. Aren't you worried that they would find some loopholes in doing things for me?"
Ma En smiled and said:
"Of course, I'm not worried about them. Master, you must have heard about it. There is a powerful organization called the Camarilla behind me. However, in the past few days, we have also discovered that the other party cannot be solved in a short time.
"In this case, I can't wait forever, so I just pretend that he doesn't exist. When he attacks me again, I will take the opportunity to find his flaws and solve him."
He said it as if the person behind the scenes was not a threat to him at all, but just a little troublesome.
Xiaoyao nodded slightly:
"You do have a heart."
What he said was actually sincere. After all, if Ma En was not afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes, then there would definitely be no problem in coming to do things for him early. And if the mastermind behind the scenes could really kill Ma En, then he should come to him even more.
At least he had to sort things out for himself before he died.
Xiaoyao also knows that Ma En is coming to him now, and he may not be using his ideas at all, but Xiaoyao himself will not be stupidly involved, and the man behind the scenes will certainly not be stupid enough to offend him.
As long as the other party is smart enough, he will not make more enemies for himself, and Xiaoyao will naturally keep a safe distance from Ma En to prevent him from using him to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes. And as long as he does not do anything stupid, Ma En will not do anything stupid.
Maybe through this relationship, I would collide with the mastermind behind the scenes.
In fact, in Ma En's situation, this is actually the best thing for him. Xiaoyao has no patience to wait for him to slowly solve the problem with the mastermind behind the scenes, let alone wait for Ma En to be killed.
Of course, it is indeed possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is really stupid enough to take action against himself when it is completely unnecessary, but if that is the case, it is not Ma En's fault, but the other party's lack of foresight.
Then he wouldn't mind giving these "comrades" in the barren world a long way to go.
After all, the fundamental reason why Xiaoyao didn't care about this at all was that he had enough confidence in himself. He not only believed that Ma En had no choice but not to be stupid enough to take advantage of him, but also that he was not afraid of any accidents.
So in fact, even if Ma En doesn't come to him, he will start urging Ma En in a few days, and judging from the contract signed between them, he can also "force" Ma En to do things for him.
Man said:
"I just asked the federation. They won't stop this, but they will also arrange for other members to be inserted into our sect, and they have already selected a few guys to monitor us.
"The leader among them is the Yin and Yang twins who once followed Shenxiao."
Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"The pair of ghost cultivators?"
Ma En showed a curious look:
"Ghost cultivator?"
Xiaoyao nodded:
"Yes, these pair of ghost cultivators were refined by cultivators. I don't know exactly what happened. Are there any remaining cultivators here, or are they actually ghosts from the world of cultivation before.
"But the one who refined them must be a Yuanying monk with illegal attainments in this way. Although the physiques of these siblings are extraordinary, it is not easy to turn them into golden elixir ghosts just by refining them. It is definitely not
Which golden elixir cultivator can do this easily? You must know that these siblings have not practiced any skills."
This passage raises many questions.
Ma En asked curiously:
"So their power also comes from practitioners. But if they were refined in the practice world, how could they appear here? But if they were refined by Yuanying monks, how could they be free?"
Xiaoyao smiled and said:
"You're right to ask. These two evil ghosts are extremely extraordinary even among golden elixir ghosts. Their hearts and souls are connected. If they are not killed at the same time after turning into evil ghosts, they will not be completely eliminated.
"So they are not bad to any Nascent Soul cultivator, and if supplemented with good intentions, they may cause a lot of trouble to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, so I said that they may come from the world of cultivation.
"Actually, although the cultivation world and the desolate world are separated by formations, they are not completely inaccessible. Otherwise, how do you think I got there? You must know that I was not in the Nascent Soul realm at that time.
"And I haven't said it before, but in fact, the only thing left when I entered the world of cultivation was my soul, which means that the possibility of these ghosts entering and leaving the world of cultivation is higher than that of practitioners.
"As for the second possibility, because I can't see where the monk is coming from, it's hard to imagine what kind of monk can reach the Nascent Soul realm in the desolate world. Maybe he has integrated other Taoist methods.
It is not impossible that the exercises and cultivation methods are only used to simply temper the soul.
"In fact, this possibility is easy to explain. Think carefully about who the yin and yang twins followed later?"
When Ma En heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. If there really was a Nascent Soul monk who had reached level V through some incomplete and modified practice method, then he might have been killed by Shenxiao after completing the Yin and Yang Twins.
.
However, after thinking deeply, he felt that this was somewhat unreasonable. After all, Shenxiao did not immediately accept the Yin and Yang twins at that time, unless Shenxiao was actually far more cold-blooded than he seemed, and Ma En, who had just met Shenxiao, did not
I don't think this situation is possible.
But he immediately thought that Shenxiao might not have really gone to "see" the Yin-Yang Twins at that time. She might have just instinctively killed the monk when they met by chance. Moreover, her predictions about the future at that time may have been
Being contaminated by the federal plan, it is normal not to notice the harm caused by the Yin and Yang twins.
After all, Shenxiao is not a real god, but if this is the case, it will cause new problems...
Does Shenxiao really have any long-term plans for the Yin and Yang twins that have yet to come?
But in fact, this may not be the case, and these ideas themselves are not important at all.
However, Ma En still followed Xiaoyao's words with a normal expression:
"Do you think Shen Xiao really has such deliberate intentions?"
"Maybe, or maybe what I doubt is her divine power." Xiaoyao said with a smile, "Although we were all born in this land, I am actually more accepting of people like Shenxiao than most of you here.
"After all, I have also seen various knights in the world of cultivation, and some of them are as admirable as Shenxiao."
Ma En kept a curious look and asked:
"Even Master, you admire Shenxiao?"
Xiaoyao raised his tea cup and took a sip:
"Of course, if I were you, I might follow her. After all, before she lost, I had no idea who she would really defeat. It was this incident that made me a little more wary of your federation.
.
"And if you want to ask me about the Nascent Souls in the Desolate World, I will tell you that most of the Nascent Souls are just ordinary people in my opinion, and only a few can be called individuals. But you have to ask Shen Xiao
if……
"I'm not as good as that."
Ma En did not expect to hear Xiaoyao say this. Although most of the high-level ability users in the Federation had some deep respect for Shenxiao, Ma En soon noticed that he had always looked down upon the Federation ability users.
After all, the world of cultivation that Xiaoyao comes from really has higher-level ability users.
This time it was really out of pure curiosity that Ma En asked sincerely:
"Who is Shenxiao in the world of spiritual practice?"
Xiaoyao smiled, and he also saw that Ma En wanted to inquire about the situation in the world of cultivation:
"Of course she is the best among people. I even said that I am not as good as her. Do you think I am an ordinary monk? There are only five Nascent Soul monks in the world of cultivation who can say this to me.
"But today's world of cultivation is too calm. To be honest, she will only be a half-immortal here, and her true ability cannot be seen at all. Only in that chaotic era of cultivation could there be heroes like her.
"If we really want to compare it, she is more like the practitioners who reached the semi-immortal realm step by step and re-established heaven and a new order. She is more like the semi-immortal Jade Emperor who was reincarnated for hundreds of generations."
Although he knew that Ma En was inquiring about the situation in the world of cultivation, Xiaoyao did not deliberately exaggerate to mislead Ma En's judgment. These were his true thoughts in his heart. This may also be because he is actually considered a desolate person.
But if there is someone like Shen Xiao in the Desolate World who may be behind the scenes, then today he will definitely let Ma En go back temporarily. Even if he feels that he has the means to stay out of the matter, he will never take the gamble.
After all, if the mastermind behind the scenes is as powerful as Shen Xiao, he doesn't need to care about his own feelings at all.
However, Xiaoyao did not expect that Ma En was actually using this to judge his strength. After all, Ma En was not actually a level V ability user who concealed his identity as they thought, but had just been quietly promoted.
So in fact, he is not very good at judging the strength of people with abilities of the same level, but this is also very important, especially the strength of Xiaoyao. He must have the most basic concept of this now.
Because he did plan to use Xiaoyao to some extent. Although he didn't really want to rely on Xiaoyao to deal with Serran, Ma En felt that Serran would still use Xiaoyao's affairs to deal with him.
There are reasons why he and Xiaoyao have different views on this matter. First of all, Serran still has no intention of exposing his true identity, so he will definitely deal with him in a roundabout way.
Secondly, Ma En doesn't think Seraen will be particularly afraid of Xiaoyao.
This is actually the key point. Xiaoyao feels that few ability users here would have the courage to offend him, but Ma En knows that Serran is probably the ability user who is not afraid of Xiaoyao, not only because Serran is very strong, but also because
Or because a god like Serraun would not be killed easily, and Xiaoyao could not do anything to him.
