666: Chapter 664 Mutual Schemes
When Minge spoke, both her expression and tone were deeply meaningful.
Chu Xuan naturally could hear the implication behind her words.
That so-called all-out strike was not aimed at the Four Great Sects, but at himself.
"It seems that ever since I killed Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun and became the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, I've been under surveillance…"
Chu Xuan thought of the eerie giant hand that descended shortly before, which he had seen through [Peeping Fate] when he was preparing to kill Xuanchen and Chili, the two protectors lurking in the Heavenly Dao Alliance who were Strange Creatures.
He instantly understood that although the disguise of [Myriad Forms] could obscure Karma, his action of using a Clone to attract attention while his main body turned into a fly to leave was very likely still discovered.
And just a short while ago, when he woke from his dream and his entire body was burning with the Fire of Nirvana, that phenomenon probably couldn't be hidden either.
"According to my previous assumption, if these Strange Creatures really recognized my identity through the Fire of Nirvana, it would be hard for them to suppress the urge to strike at me. But looking at it now, that isn't the case…"
Chu Xuan's thoughts turned, and he discovered two characteristics of these Strange Creatures.
The higher the life hierarchy and the stronger the strength of the Strange Creature, the stronger its control over its own instincts.
Back when he encountered the Night Demon's Clone in the dormitory, even though it desperately wanted to kill him, due to the limitations of its physical body, it chose to feed first.
But this Minge was completely different. Right now, in Chu Xuan's view, she was also just a Clone, yet amidst her words, even though Chu Xuan possessed the level 6 exclusive skill [Killing Instinct], he didn't feel a shred of murderous intent from her at all.
On the other hand, the reason why Shendao Sect hadn't attacked him.
Among this, it might also be because he hadn't displayed his full strength yet, but could easily kill Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun and successfully withstand the golden heavenly thunder.
Shendao Sect didn't have absolute certainty of killing him and worried he would escape, which was why they suppressed the thought of attacking him immediately. That was why in [Peeping Fate] he saw the scene where Shendao Sect and the Four Great Sects faintly formed an alliance trend to surround and kill him.
"In addition, in the vision of [Peeping Fate], that eerie giant hand anticipated my departure in advance, as if it had long known that I could pilot the white emperor fighter to leave in an instant…"
Chu Xuan suddenly woke up to this realization.
The last time he came to the Cangyun World, he had used the white emperor fighter, and he had also used the Fire of Nirvana in full view of everyone…
"From the looks of it, these people not only know my identity as a Purifier, but I'm afraid they have already learned my true origins!"
"Perhaps this is also one of the main reasons why the Four Great Sects and Shendao Sect could unite to kill me first!"
Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, but Chu Xuan remained calm on the surface, his gaze toward Minge always tranquil:
"Since that's the case, let's decide on this! We will march all the way next, and we are expected to arrive at the capital city of Dongzhou early tomorrow morning. Through the Secret Realm space there, we will head to the capital of the Great Cang Dynasty. By then, the Dynasty will be on the verge of destruction, and the Four Great Sects definitely won't sit idly by. Perhaps a decisive battle will unfold there."
Chu Xuan deliberately stated the specific action route for the near future, looking as if he completely trusted the other party, but in reality, such a matter couldn't be hidden at all.
This was just a clever use of rhetoric, but it perfectly matched the persona Chu Xuan was currently playing in front of Minge.
"This was already within the scope of our planning, and for this, we will also mobilize our entire nest. Next, regardless of the outcome of this battle, it will sever the Luck of the Great Cang Dynasty. The so-called Four Great Sects can only breathe their last and will no longer be able to support a new Dynasty to gather the hearts of the people and Luck."
Minge smiled charmingly and said, "If we can kill a few Shengyuan Realm experts, that would naturally be even better… This world is destined to become our paradise!"
"That's good. I hope your performance won't disappoint me." Chu Xuan spoke indifferently:
"I don't like cooperating with trash. If your so-called Shendao Sect doesn't show enough strength in this battle, don't blame me for being ruthless afterwards."
Minge said, "Rest assured, our strength far exceeds your imagination. Even if we face all the Martial Artists of the Four Great Sects head-on, we have absolute confidence. Otherwise, why do you think those guys let us be?"
"Then I am quite looking forward to it." The smile on Chu Xuan's face deepened.
Minge likewise smiled back at him.
The situation right now was just like this.
Shendao Sect already knew Chu Xuan's identity and was acting as a Strange Creature.
And Chu Xuan also knew that Shendao Sect knew his identity and was preparing to kill him first to satisfy their hatred, but he was still maintaining this persona.
Scheming against each other, they reached a wonderful tacit understanding.
"In addition, I hope that the next time I see you, it won't be your Clone anymore." Chu Xuan dropped these words and leaped away.
"Rest assured, next time I will definitely let you see the real me, I just fear you'll be scared."
Minge pursed her lips and smiled, watching the receding figure of Chu Xuan disappear. The smile in her eyes gradually dissipated, turning instead into utter iciness.
A tender sprout poked its head out from a tree trunk beside Minge, sprouting and growing wildly in the blink of an eye, blooming into a flower bud at the tip.
Shortly after, a mini youth with complex and abstract facial features squeezed out from it.
His voice carried a childlike innocence mixed with a hint of eerie overlapping: "Lord Minge, since his identity has already been discovered, why didn't you kill him?"
Minge glanced over indifferently and huffed lightly, "Why don't you go?"
"Hehe, I really can't quite control myself!" The youth grinned and said, "I can feel that there seems to be a certain voice calling me. That is the guidance from the great Lord of All Spirits. As long as I can kill that Purifier, I can obtain incomparable rewards."
A trace of playfulness flashed through Minge's eyes, and she asked with slight mockery, "Then why didn't you make a move?"
"Of course it's because I'm afraid of getting killed. I can only follow my inner choice." The youth chuckled and said:
"But if it's you making a move, Lord Minge, there definitely won't be any problem. No matter how absurd he is, as long as you summon the Demon Lord, you will definitely be able to kill him. After all, the Demon Lord is an existence second only to the legendary Martial God of this world."
"Martial God?" Minge scoffed, her tone filled with disdain: "He is merely a Martial Artist who has just barely broken through the life hierarchy above level 20. How is he worthy of being called a god? He's not even qualified to become a divine envoy!"
The mini youth said, "Regardless, the Demon Lord's strength is sufficient after all. In this world where the Martial God does not appear, he is an invincible existence."
Minge shook her head: "If the Demon Lord hadn't wanted to break through the shackles of this world, thereby suffering rule backlash and having his consciousness directly erased, of course he would be invincible. But now there is only a shell left, and it has even fused into a part of this world. Even if he can be summoned, the strength he can display is very limited, and he might not necessarily be able to kill that human fellow."
