Chapter 172 – Bitter meat plan

The avatar is the water god elder of "Tao Tao River", and he said lightly:

"Although it was only a brief encounter, I used seventy percent of my power, and with the magic eye, at most forty percent. I have no chance of winning against him in a fight to the death.

"Initial estimates indicate that it would take two elders to fight him to a draw. Of course, this does not take into account the use of props, the madness of the magic eye, and the situation of slaughtering ordinary people to fuel the war. You should be clear about the power and terror of the ancient war god."

The elder of the Red Fire Gang snorted, "No matter how strong the ancient war god is, even if he goes mad and slaughters ordinary people recklessly, absorbing their blood, he still cannot be a match for the six of us alone." No matter how many variables there are on the battlefield, no matter how strong the ancient war god is, he cannot single-handedly take on six dominators.

The elder of the White Tiger Army spoke firmly, "This is not a question of whether we can win, but how to resolve the magic eye with the least cost. The magic eye has been swaggering around Songhai these days, taking advantage of the fact that we dare not make a move there." Of course, he also dares not to act against us in the bustling city."

The combat power of the dominator level is equivalent to a humanoid bomber, and everything in its path turns to ashes.

The stronger the spiritual realm practitioner, the more restrained they are in reality. After all, no one wants to be wanted by the spiritual realm and become a wanted criminal with a real-time broadcast of their location. Moreover, the wanted status in the spiritual realm is directed at all practitioners, regardless of whether they are lawful or evil.

Once wanted by the spiritual realm, even a dominator will become a "public enemy of the martial world". With a heavy reward, both the righteous and the evil will rise up to attack.

So the elders of the Songhai branch are so troubled, it is not difficult to resolve the magic eye with more people than him, but what is difficult is to resolve it "silently and without a trace."

"To suppress the sound of battle without affecting ordinary people, we must take the magic eye away from the city or enter a secret realm. Can Elder Dog's zoo trap the magic eye?" The voice of the Palace Master of the Zhi Sha Palace rang out in the meeting room. Her voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of carelessness, as if she were lazily lying on the bed, chatting casually.

Rather than a serious, high-level meeting.

Based on the idea that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, the elders of the Songhai branch, upon learning that the Magic Eye King had arrived in Songhai, contacted the Palace Master of Zhi Sha.

Although this woman is a wanderer in the martial world, and although she is a wanted criminal on the run, the branch elders have a flexible professional bottom line, and in dealing with the Magic Eye King, they are still good friends. Elder Dog said slowly:

"There is no problem with using this rule-based item to trap the magic eye, but it must be the actual item that appears. If it is projected, it cannot trap the magic eye. And although its actual form can move, it cannot force people to enter." We have to make the magic eye voluntarily enter the zoo, but how do we make an ancient war god fall into our trap?"

Once in the zoo, it means there is no way out, and the magic eye cannot escape.

Suddenly, Elder Zhongting asked, "Palace Master, how is the bait you released doing?" The Palace Master of Zhi Sha said lightly, "The bait has been targeted, but it has not been bitten. The patience of the Magic Eye King is very good. He is usually nervous, but when it comes to critical issues, he has no flaws." The so-called bait is what she arranged, a puppet that deliberately appeared in the underground black market.

It was targeted after just one appearance, but the other party was patient, observing in secret without taking immediate action. Elder Zhongting pondered, "How about using the bait to lure the magic eye into the zoo?"

The Palace Master of Zhi Sha chuckled, "First of all, the amount of bait is not enough, unless I personally act as bait. Secondly, the Magic Eye King's vertical eye can see through disguises, and the zoo does not have the ability to conceal its aura." The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

A dominator-level evil professional is indeed so difficult to deal with.

The elder of the White Tiger Army sighed, "The Magic Eye has been showing off these days, deliberately disgusting us, taking advantage of the fact that we can't do anything to him, although he also dares not to break the net." The official arena competition is about to open soon, and if the Magic Eye causes any trouble in Songhai, the headquarters will definitely hold us accountable.

The major branches will also mock the Songhai branch for its incompetence.

Most importantly, at this critical moment, if the Primordial Supreme encounters any accidents, it will be a heavy slap in the face for the Five Elements Alliance.

In addition, who knows if the Magic Eye lurking in Songhai has another purpose. If everything is just a facade, and the real purpose is to hunt down the elders of the Songhai branch... this will involve the safety of everyone present.

So, the problem of the Magic Eye has always been unresolved, and the elders are a little uneasy. The elder of the Red Fire Gang endured and endured, but finally couldn't help but say in a muffled voice:

"Showing off, acting recklessly, deliberately disgusting us.

"Hmph, does he really think that we are helpless? Since everyone has their concerns, then no one is more confident than anyone else. We can all go down together. I will go and challenge the Magic Eye, and we can all end it together." There was no response in the meeting room, and the Palace Master of Zhi Sha clicked her tongue, "What's the point of speaking such nonsense as an elder?"

The water god elder of the Water God Palace sneered:

}%j6K.F1j6w4~*k;y/M(V

"What he said is not nonsense, he really can do it. Never underestimate the wisdom and rationality of the fire master."

The Palace Master of Zhi Sha laughed, "How does the official side describe me? They say I'm a lunatic, fanatical. I think your elders are the real lunatics." At this time, Elder Dog said slowly, "I have an idea."The conference room fell silent again, and the four masters perked up their ears to listen.

"To deceive the perception of the Magic Eye and make it 'mistakenly' enter the zoo is not difficult. As long as a Void Master takes action to create an illusion, the Magic Eye will not be able to discover the existence of the zoo." The Void Master is the name of the illusionist at the master level.

Elder of the Red Fire Gang said impatiently, "Isn't that obvious? How could a Void Master possibly work with us?"

He suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something. The elder of the White Tiger Army laughed and said, "Good idea. If that person can take action, then the matter will be settled."

After a pause, he continued, "But we don't have enough face to ask him. It's impossible to get him involved." Elder of the Luoshen Clan suggested, "Let's have the Primordial Venerable come forward."

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Elder of the Zhongting Clan hesitated, "It's probably also difficult for the Primordial Venerable to come forward. That person wouldn't take action for a Transcendent. If he really does take action, we will have to re-evaluate the value of the Primordial Venerable." "Everyone..."

The Master of the Zhi Sha Palace couldn't help but speak, with a hint of confusion and a strange emotion in his voice, "What are you talking about? When did the Primordial Venerable have such a deep connection with the Void Master? Why wasn't I aware?" The elder of the Red Fire Gang snorted, "Why do you need to know? Although you are close to the Primordial Venerable, he is still a member of our Five Elements Alliance. Do I need to tell you everything?" He had just finished speaking when, not knowing if he had misheard, the Master of the Zhi Sha Palace seemed to be grinding his teeth.

Elder of the Dog Clan said, "Then it's decided. I will inform the Primordial Venerable and ask him to come forward. Everyone, wait for the news."

"Do the elders want me to come forward and ask Master Wuhen for help?"

At home, Zhang Yuanqing listened to Fu Qingyang's phone call, feeling surprised.

Fu Qingyang said concisely, "Is there a problem?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned, "But as you know, Master Wuhen is constantly struggling with his inner demons. Once he unleashes his true fire, his hostility will surge, and he may lose control." A master at the master level would also be affected.

Struggling with inner demons requires a calm and peaceful mind, far away from the dust and conflicts.

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "Just let him create an illusion without getting involved in the fight. Besides, the elders and Wuhen have no basis of trust. Even if he wants to get involved, the elders may not agree." "I'll give it a try..."

Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to make any promises.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanqing immediately put on the "Silent" mask and went out. Ten minutes later, he took a ride-hailing car to Jinshan City. On the way, he looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

According to the elders' plan, if Master Wuhen is willing to take action, it would be almost certain to resolve the Magic Eye. The problem is, what if Master Wuhen is unwilling to take action? It seems that my face as the Primordial Venerable doesn't have much influence on the senior monks.

But the Magic Eye King must be dealt with. Hiding is just a temporary measure and cannot last long. It's a matter of life and death, and I can't bury my head in the sand. When the time comes, everything will be over.

As the ride-hailing car was about to arrive at the Wuhen Hotel, Zhang Yuanqing had an idea. "Stop the car, driver!"

Zhang Yuanqing shouted.

The driver didn't stop, "We're not there yet."

"I'll give you an extra fifty in cash, it won't be less than your fare."

The driver hit the brakes and stopped by the side of the road, "You can get off here!"

Zhang Yuanqing paid the fare, got out of the car, and went to a secluded place. When he saw that there was no one around, he took off the Silent mask and quietly disappeared. Then, he ran towards the direction of the Wuhen Hotel at full speed.

At this time, there were still more than thirty kilometers to the Wuhen Hotel.

With his current physical strength, it wouldn't be difficult to maintain a sprint for thirty kilometers, but it would be uncomfortable to run in a night-time state. When Zhang Yuanqing arrived outside the Wuhen Hotel, he was exhausted, his face was pale, and sweat poured out like a flood.

"Panting..."

He appeared in the deserted area of the hotel, leaned against the wall, and panted heavily with his hands on his knees.

So tired. The last time he was on the verge of his limit was in the town of Yin and Yang... Zhang Yuanqing swallowed, but found that there was no saliva in his mouth to moisten his throat. After resting for a minute or two, Zhang Yuanqing staggered to the front of the building, pushed open the glass door of the Wuhen Hotel, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Yuan, save me..."

In front of the counter, Xiao Yuan was busy playing with her phone. She was startled and looked up, seeing the miserable state of the Primordial Venerable, her face changed drastically. She quickly dropped her phone and hurried over, her delicate face full of anger.

"Who hurt you?" Zhang Yuanqing "complained," "It's that damned Magic Eye King. He finally found me. The dignified King of Heaven is shameless enough to attack a small fry like me. If it weren't for the intervention of the elders, I'm afraid I would have died." Xiao Yuan frowned and gritted her teeth, "That mad dog."

She supported the exhausted Primordial Venerable and sat him down on a nearby chair, saying, "What's going on with you..."

"It's just an old injury acting up," Zhang Yuanqing explained, quickly changing the subject, "That Magic Eye King is too much. Alas, Xiao Yuan, I don't know what to do." "He has pushed you to this point?" Xiao Yuan's pale face was filled with seriousness.Zhang Yuanqing seized the opportunity and said, "The elders of the branch have actively devised a plan to counter the Demon Eye, but there's a problem with one of the links. They need a powerful illusionist to participate. Xiao Yuan, I would like to meet Master Wuhen."

"You want Master Wuhen to take action?" Xiao Yuan furrowed her brows, hesitating.

"You know he doesn't easily intervene, and besides, it goes against the rules he has set. Master Wuhen is an elder who values rules."

"It's just creating an illusion... Sigh, that's what I told the elders too. So, I didn't dare to stay in Songhai any longer and could only come to seek refuge with you." Zhang Yuanqing sighed heavily, his face filled with dejection.

Xiao Yuan silently stared at him.

The Yuan Shi Tianzun she knew was spirited, confident, and cheerful. Having not seen him for a few days, he was now so disheartened, it seemed he was truly struck by the Demon Eye King. A surge of inexplicable anger rose in Xiao Yuan's heart.

Taking a deep breath, she pondered and said, "If it's just creating an illusion, I can take you to see Master Wuhen and speak on your behalf." Zhang Yuanqing quickly grasped her hand, exclaiming with joy:

"Really?"

Xiao Yuan gently withdrew her hand and nodded.

The two immediately entered the depths of the hotel, took the elevator, and arrived at the door of Room 404. "Knock, knock!"

Xiao Yuan tapped on the door:

"Master Wuhen, Yuan Shi Tianzun seeks an audience."

After speaking, she tried to turn the doorknob. If the doorknob could be turned, it meant Master Wuhen was willing to see him. Otherwise, it meant he would not.

She easily turned the doorknob, and the surrounding scenery twisted, rippling with waves.

In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in an ancient temple, with a caisson ceiling painted with deities above them, and a golden Buddha in front, holding a flower and looking down with half-closed eyes, appearing both compassionate and fierce. Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath of the air rich with the scent of incense, and brought his hands together in prayer:

"Master, I've been targeted by the Demon Eye King. I nearly died at his hands yesterday. The elders of the Songhai branch have devised a plan..."

He then recounted the plan to counter the Demon Eye to Master Wuhen.

Master Wuhen sat in silence, not responding.

Zhang Yuanqing bowed deeply: "Please save me, Master." Master Wuhen remained silent.

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but say, "Master, if it's just creating an illusion, it won't hinder your cultivation. Yuan Shi is being persecuted by the Demon Eye, your assistance wouldn't be breaking the rules." After a long silence, Master Wuhen's voice, suppressed with pain, finally emerged:

"Fine!

"When the time comes, crush this jade talisman."

With that, a dimly glowing light flew out from his sleeve and landed at Zhang Yuanqing's feet. Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

The two did not linger, bowing as they exited the ancient temple.

Holding the Dream-Entering Jade Talisman in his hand, Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Xiao Yuan beside him, saying, "I'll make a phone call to report back first."

Xiao Yuan said indifferently, "Why not just leave?"

"I'm too tired, I want to drink some water and rest a bit..." Zhang Yuanqing said earnestly:

"Since I've come all the way to Jinshan City, of course, I want to spend more time with Aunt Xiao Yuan." Xiao Yuan was taken aback.

Zhang Yuanqing had already walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.
