Chapter 209: At Your Disposal
Lu Siyuan, who had been incessantly cursing the demon race, paused subtly upon hearing this. "What opportunity? It's just that I have extraordinary talent."
It was obvious he wasn't telling the truth. Yun Fuzhao asked Que Chi, "Is there any way to make a ghost tell the truth?"
“There are plenty,” Que Chi’s eyes flashed with interest. “There are painful ones, ten times more painful ones, twenty times more painful ones. Which one would you like to choose?”
Even as a ghost, Lü Siyuan felt a chill run down his spine. This young man clearly wasn't a good person.
"I said, I said!"
Lu Siyuan gritted his teeth, "Sect Master, I didn't tell the truth just now because that person wouldn't let me. He threatened that if I told him, I would be doomed."
But now that I'm dead, what can he do to me? Come to think of it, if it weren't for that man, I wouldn't be in this state! He…”
Yun Fuzhao raised her hand to interrupt him, "Get to the point."
"That day I met a man dressed in black robes who said he could help me develop spiritual roots and aid my cultivation."
Yun Fuzhao finally heard the information she wanted: "Did that man have any distinctive features?"
Lu Siyuan thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No. He was dressed in all black, and his face was completely covered."
Judging from this description, it couldn't possibly have been done by the demon race again.
That's true, nothing new at all. They just resort to these underhanded tactics.
Qi Huai: "Why would he help you for no reason?"
“I asked him the same question, but he only said, ‘You’ve already paid me.’”
……
After ending the spirit summoning ritual, the three of them headed towards the Boundless Sword Sect together.
Qi Huai asked, "Have you identified someone you suspect?"
Yun Fuzhao sighed, "I feel that the Ghost Clan is highly suspicious."
Que Chi tilted his head. "Why do you say that?"
“No matter how you look at it, this seems to be the work of the Ghost Clan. After all, this isn’t the first time they’ve done something like this. However,” Yun Fuzhao paused, “this time, the Xuantian Sect is most likely involved as well. Even if they weren’t, they must have known about it.”
"That's true. At least on the surface, your biggest enemy right now is the Ghost Clan."
Yun Fuzhao felt heavy-hearted, unsure of her chances of winning against the Ghost Clan.
No, it should be the Ghost Clan and the Xuantian Sect.
Que Chi spoke up: "Since you have doubts, aren't you going to take action?"
"What you're saying is ridiculous. Wen Yan has awakened an ancient bloodline, and we don't know what level his cultivation has reached. Their sect also has a patriarch in charge. In addition, there are those demons from the Ghost Clan. If we go head-to-head with them, we have no chance of winning."
“I’m not talking about confronting them head-on,” Que Chi said. “Since they plotted to frame you, why don’t you frame them back? For example, cause trouble for their day trip to the Ghost Realm.”
Yun Fuzhao had certainly considered this, but even using simulation techniques, the ghosts would still be able to detect it. Bribing the disciples, however, was another matter…
“I have a way to make sure they can’t see through your disguise,” Que Chi said. “I can help you get in, and maybe we can even kill him together.”
Yun Fuzhao glanced at him. "Are you sure? He's at the Nascent Soul stage."
Qi Huai: "That's far too risky."
“Even the Nascent Soul stage of the Ghost Clan has weaknesses.” Que Chi beckoned to Yun Fuzhao, “Come closer, I’ll tell you.”
Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to lean closer, a slender hand gripped her shoulder, preventing her from leaning in that direction. Qi Huai smiled and said, "Is there anything I can't hear?"
In Qi Huai's eyes, only Yu Ze was his formidable rival; no one else was worthy of his attention.
What are these ghosts anyway, daring to use such petty tricks in front of him?
Que Chi lifted his eyelids and met Qi Huai's disdainful yet cold gaze.
After a moment of eye contact, Que Chi curled his lips into a smile that was both enigmatic and highly provocative.
"I only want to tell her about this weakness."
Yun Fuzhao didn't sense the tense atmosphere between the two. She muttered, "What's the point of hiding his weaknesses? They're not yours anyway."
However, she still looked at Qi Huai and said, "Let me hear it."
Qi Huai lowered his gaze, staring intently at the face he had longed for for a moment, deciding not to put her in a difficult position. After a long while, he slowly withdrew his hand. He said to Que Chi, "Speak quickly."
Que Chi leaned down and whispered in Yun Fuping's ear, "The ghost race is easily affected by blood. Just add something else to the blood they feed on..."
He lowered his eyes, and from this angle he could see her long eyelashes and her flawless, fair, and clean face.
Seeing that he stopped halfway through his sentence, Yun Fuzhao subconsciously looked at him and asked, "And then?"
As she moved, the distance between the two closed, so close that their breaths mingled.
Yun Fuzhao opened his clear, black and white eyes, his gaze devoid of any romantic emotions, revealing only his determination to defeat the enemy.
On the other hand, Que Chi's heart skipped a beat and his throat bobbed involuntarily because of the sudden eye contact.
After a long pause, Que Chi looked away first, "Then he will... be at your mercy."
Yun Fuzhao's eyes lit up. "This method is effective even against Nascent Soul stage cultivators?"
"Ah."
Qi Huai's voice interrupted impatiently, "Are you done?"
Yun Fuzhao nodded. "I'm done."
"What are you going to do?"
Yun Fuzhao had an idea in mind, but implementing it required a meticulous plan.
Qi Huai saw through her thoughts at a glance, "You're not planning to go to the Ghost Realm, are you?"
"Eh? Is it that obvious?"
“No.” Qi Huai felt it necessary to emphasize the danger of this idea to her. “Just like you said, when a Ghost Lord reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one wrong move and he’s reduced to nothing. Even if someone has to go, it shouldn’t be you.”
Yun Fuzhao knew that this plan was extremely dangerous, but high risk, high reward. If he could get rid of the Ghost King, wouldn't the Boundless Sword Sect have one less huge obstacle to its future development?
Moreover, Jiaoyu might have no choice but to fight him.
It's really not certain whether the Nascent Soul stage cultivator or the Dragon Clan is stronger.
"The ghost realm has repeatedly tried to trip me up, do they really think I'm easy to bully? This time, I'm going to make things difficult for them."
Yun Fuzhao reassured Qi Huai, "Don't worry, I won't get close to the Ghost Lord. I'll just ruin their day trip to the Ghost Realm."
"In that case, take me with you. If anything happens, I can protect you."
Que Chi: "My deception isn't that strong. If too many people go, it will be easy to be exposed."
Qi Huai was displeased. "From the very beginning, you've been urging her to go to the Ghost Realm. It's hard not to suspect your motives. Que Chi, if you really cared about her, you wouldn't have let her take this risk."
“I’m not like you,” Que Chi chuckled, answering with ease. “I don’t think Yun Fuzhao is a flower that needs to be carefully protected. She has the right to make her own decisions. No one should use the name of protection to hinder what she wants to do.”
