Chapter 664 The Swordsman's Dash, the Wise Man's Confrontation

Chapter 420 False Information

The sharp sword pierced his abdomen, the extremely pure sword qi tearing at it.

Even the body of a god, which could ignore the strongest weapons of the human world due to its own illusory nature, was actually pierced, and unable to heal. The sword technique at the pinnacle of the human world, a skill approaching the Dao, it all felt like a scene from hundreds of years ago repeating itself.

Only now, the positions of the two had been reversed.

The backstabber finally backstabbed?

This thought inexplicably surfaced in Wei Yuan's mind.

The melon-eater finally becomes the melon.

Like the Buzhou Mountain God.

And that celestial being sensed that kind of contained and explosive violence.

He knew that the best way at this time was to imitate his opponent from hundreds of years ago, using his own hands to restrain the weapon, seeking survival in death with the most violent method. However, when his right hand rose, sensing the sharpness on the sword's edge, he realized that the spirit of seeking survival in the face of death was not something everyone possessed.

He hesitated for a moment.

Wei Yuan gripped his sword in his right hand, and spun to slash.

Great Tang Swordsmanship - Autumn Water.

The highest realm of the Autumn Water Sword Sect, a vast expanse of autumn water.

The horizontal slash of the sword light was brilliant and clear, like a clear and bright lake, as if the morning sun was rising from beneath the water. On the autumn water, a clear golden blood diffused. Generally speaking, it would be the setting sun sinking into the sea, blood dyeing the autumn water, but since it was a celestial being, and the blood was golden, it naturally turned into gold.

This celestial being was cut in half at the waist, just like the Twelve Yuan Chen back then.

However, Wei Yuan had directly chopped down the previous Yuan Chen.

This time, he held back.

The meaning of holding back was –

Only cut in half.

The celestial being's face twisted.

Intense pain swept through his heart, causing the magnificent scene of the Great Ming Dynasty, with its ten directions of rain as swords, to reappear before his eyes. Great fear arose in his heart. Taking advantage of the momentum, Wei Yuan adjusted his body and kicked back.

Thirty-six Heavenly罡 Transformations - Mountain Shaking and Earth Quaking!

All the divine powers of a true Daoist cultivator can be used in close combat.

This move, with enough power to cause an earthquake, heavily struck the celestial being.

The latter's divinity twisted, his body shattered by the tremor, and he fell downward.

However, he discovered a violent gust of wind enveloping him. Wei Yuan appeared below at a speed even faster than his, gripping his sword with both hands, as if about to perform a heaven-supporting movement, bursting out with an unimaginable majestic aura, and slashing towards his neck.

The Great Tang Modao blade technique, which flowed into the martial world, transformed into the Heaven-Supporting Sword Sect.

The highest realm of the sword sect - Heaven-Supporting.

The celestial being's heart broke and his courage failed. He barely crossed his arms, but only managed to resist the force, which threw his entire body away. In his vision, the sword in the youth's hand suddenly vibrated, and he stepped through the air with extreme speed, fiercely stabbing along the faint trajectory.

This celestial being was an agent who had been arranged in the human world long ago and had seen countless moves.

His pupils contracted.

Again, this was another highest realm of a sword sect that had been passed down for thousands of years but lost in the human world.

This guy, when he lost his memory, used selfless swordsmanship.

When he had his memory, he could casually pick up a move?

Just what is the level of his swordsmanship...

By the time he reacted, this sword had once again pierced his heart. With the sword moves of a mortal, he could actually reach this realm? The celestial being's brain struggled to judge and think. He gritted his teeth and directly used his body to take this move.

He was using his body to leave behind sword marks.

Planning to use his corpse as intelligence.

Since he had no way to return alive, he had to die with value, at least.

However, when he saw the sword path changing in Wei Yuan's palm, displaying a move of the same lineage as Chi You, his pupils suddenly contracted – using a battle halberd as a sword move, and it was still quite immature. Without a doubt, this guy had observed Chi You's battle?!

Everything became clear.

He saw the truth!

And this piece of information was very valuable, he had to personally deliver it back. This reignited his desire to survive. He gritted his teeth, using his arms to block, and his mythical authority rose. Mythical concepts could only be condensed by existences that had reached the peak in the same field, but mythical authority was different.

For example, mountain gods all had the authority to move mountains.

But mythical concepts like "挟山超海" (xié shān chāo hǎi - carrying mountains over the sea) were unique to the Buzhou Mountain God.

Well, unique to the living one.

Mythical authorities overlapped and then exploded in an instant. At the cost of further injuring himself, the swordsman was finally forced back. Then, the celestial being instantly fled far away. Sword qi crisscrossed behind him, but could no longer catch up, which finally put his mind at ease.

Finally, he finally escaped...

He clenched his teeth and ran.

He directly crashed into the rift of mountains and seas. Sword qi crisscrossed behind him, but it was already too late.

The final judgment surfaced in his mind.

Skilled in swordsmanship, with superb sword skills. In close combat, he could combine human sword techniques and Daoist divine powers to unleash extremely strong destructive power. The disadvantage was that he was not good at long-range attacks. He had once mastered the concept of selfless swordsmanship when he lost his memory, but lost it after his memory recovered.

Behind him, the sword in Wei Yuan's palm was retracted.

"A-Yuan, just now, could you really not have kept him?"

Shennong's voice asked.

Wei Yuan shook his head, thoughtfully saying, "No... I was just thinking that since it's for the purpose of deceiving the enemy, A-Liang and Zhu Jiuyin said that the best way to interfere with the enemy is not to snatch the He Tu and Luo Shu, but to give them the wrong He Tu and Luo Shu, so that they reveal their flaws. So I thought, since they want my information."

"Then it's better to give them nine parts true and one part false incorrect information."

"That way, we can take advantage of the situation and give them a fierce move..."

Shennong: "..."

The smile on the face of the middle-aged man, who was originally intending to comfort his junior with a gentle expression, froze.

Huh???

Only one thought remained in his mind.

That's bad.

Did A-Yuan also turn bad?

However, this guy first grew up in the Tu Shan clan, with Zhu Jiuyin teaching him internally, and Zhuge Wuhou luring him externally. It would be strange if he didn't turn bad. It was already amazing that he had remained untainted for so long... Wait, can the group of reckless fools be considered untainted?

Would you rather he be a reckless fool, or a scheming... cunning person?

Thinking about it this way, Shennong felt a bit of a toothache. He then asked:

"Then could you have kept him just now?"

"Of course. There are at least three ways to completely keep him."

Wei Yuan sheathed his sword, his tone relaxed, "Sword move hometown, directly lock with spatial concepts."

"Chop it up along with the space in front of him."

"Then there's the Daoist divine power combination for restraint, and sword skills for finishing."

"And if all else fails, I've also learned a bit of Da Yi's archery."

"When I was under the tutelage of Master, shooting and horsemanship were full marks."

Wei Yuan was proud.

Zhu Jiuyin said in a flat tone, "And then failed four other subjects."

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, glaring at him.

"Can you not expose me?"

"What did I do? If saying what you did counts as exposing you."

"Then strictly speaking, the one exposing you isn't me, but yourself."

Wei Yuan: "..."

"Forget it. Arguing with you guys will always end with me being wrong."

Wei Yuan sheathed his sword, planning to go home, and also buy something, and then buy some clothes for A-Liang.

Buy some food for Jue, and bring some gifts for the water ghosts and the others.

Anyway... since I'm already here.

Besides...

Old Celestial Master's card hasn't been returned yet.

Wei Yuan smiled brightly.

Until he swiped the card and saw the balance inside: "2.333 yuan."

The service personnel had a smile on her face:

"Sir, will you pay separately or swipe another card?"

Wei Yuan: "..."

........................

The summit of Kunlun.

The Ninefold Heavenly Gate.

The white-clothed youth transformed from Kai Ming sat cross-legged, with a bowl filled with grapes in his arms. All around him were unfolded scrolls, filled with text. Looking at the subordinate who was in a miserable and dying state before him, he obtained the intelligence from the human world.

"Hmm, Chi You... and swordsmanship, interesting."

The celestial being Kai Ming picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, saying:

"You can go down and recuperate first."

"Yes..." The celestial being whispered.

Before the Ninefold Heavenly Gate, each Heavenly Gate was guarded by one person.

After the celestial being left, they all immediately exploded, saying:

"Chi You, Chi You actually revived, how is this possible?!"

"How is it impossible? Back then, Si Wenming split the mountains and seas in order to bury Chi You and Gonggong as a backup in the human world. Now Gonggong has been alienated, but unexpectedly, Chi You is about to live? This is probably the human world's true trump card!"

"And that human swordsmanship, I don't care about it."

"What should we do?"

"We have to be careful, and slowly probe the human world to figure out the situation with Chi You."

"Damn it, it seems that the human forces are far stronger than we expected. The plan has to be slowed down. What a great opportunity..."

"The human world's plan can proceed as usual." A lazy voice interrupted the conversation of these figures before the Ninefold Heavenly Gate. The lazy, playboy-like god picked up a grape and placed it in front of his eyes. His eyes were a mixture of black and purple, distant and mysterious.

After Kai Ming spoke, these figures were silent for a moment, and then they all exploded again.

"That's Chi You!"

"Kai Ming, even on the battlefield, you might not be able to defeat a fully revived Chi You!"

"Yes, the Lord of War, invincible on the battlefield, but I don't necessarily have to fight Him head-on on the battlefield." Kai Ming兽 (Kai Ming beast) curled his lips and said, "Fighting the Lord of War on the battlefield is as foolish as trying to arm-wrestle with the god who supports the sky, or competing with Shennong in pharmacology."

"As for how to take him down, there are too many methods."

"After all, since ancient times, war gods have often died outside the battlefield."

These few words blocked all those who wanted to refute.

One of the gods said:

"Then, what are you planning to do? Tell us, what is Chi You doing now?"

Kai Ming兽 threw the grape into his mouth, and then seemed to have eaten something extremely sour.

His noble and jade-like face was somewhat twisted together. He opened his mouth and spat the grape out, rinsing his mouth with wine before lazily saying under the impatient gazes of the other members: "If you ask me..."

"Chi You, hasn't woken up at all."

A moment of silence.

"What?!"

"You're saying this..."

The god Kai Ming, dressed in white robes adorned with golden patterns, took off his boots, supported his head with one hand, and lay sideways on a jade seat, saying: "Use the agents of Qingqiu Country."

"Huh? Use them now? Kai Ming, are you crazy?"

The youth said, "Chi You was sealed in Qingqiu Country. Now that we know Chi You has revived, let the agents of Qingqiu Country investigate the secret realm. If Chi You has really revived, then this information is already known to us. The other party will not remove our agents because of this information that has already lost its value."

"Because the detected agents have more value alive."

"In other words, if the agents are alive, then we can know Chi You's situation."

"If Nü Jiao kills the agents, then that means..."

One of the figures murmured, "It means there is information that absolutely cannot be known to us."

"Correct."

"And what the agents have to investigate is only whether Chi You has revived. So, in other words, whether Chi You has revived cannot be known to us, then that means Chi You has not revived at all, it's just a suspicious tactic. And since the other party wants to use this empty city trick."

"It just represents that their strength is insufficient, and the situation is similar to what you and I expected."

"And the last point that makes me not believe Chi You has revived..."

Kai Ming raised his head, his deep purple, almost black pupils indifferent.

"Is that He came back alive."

"A pawn who should have died in the human world can come back alive, representing that the opponent needs him to bring back some information."

One of the figures hesitated and said:

"What if Qingqiu deliberately kills the agents to mislead us?"

Kai Ming said, "First, the agents are more valuable alive than dead to them."

"Second, we have already grasped the possibility that Chi You is still alive, and we will naturally take precautions against it. Letting them deliberately kill the agents is equivalent to abandoning their own greater interests, just to prevent us from knowing information that we already know."

"The other party wouldn't do such a stupid deal."

"Third, I am never wrong."

"Use the Qingqiu agents."

"Yes."

........................

"You say, can we really deceive Kai Ming?"

Shennong whispered.

Zhu Jiuyin said flatly, "Of course we can't deceive him. He's not Wei Yuan, so he will easily judge that Chi You hasn't woken up. Any plan has parts that are false and concealed, and where there is falsehood, there will inevitably be flaws."

"This plan can only confuse people like Wei Yuan and Xing Tian."

Shennong was shocked: "Ah? Then... wouldn't our plan be seen through?"

Zhu Long said calmly, "Who said that?"

"Ah?!"

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head: "Think carefully, what is the purpose of this plan?"

"The purpose... to distract, and to protect A-Yuan..."

Shennong's voice paused.

Zhu Jiuyin played with the teacup, saying: "So, what if He sees that Chi You hasn't woken up? Chi You will draw away Wei Yuan's danger, and in order to prove that Chi You hasn't woken up, He will inevitably use the Qingqiu agents. And what we paid is only the fact that Chi You hasn't woken up."

"And Chi You, hasn't woken up in the first place."

"Using information that the other party already knows, we conceal the chef's aura, and also make the other party use agents, creating the possibility of Qingqiu's counterattack, and making Kai Ming兽 spend a certain amount of effort, it can be considered a victory. Although not much, but every little bit helps."

"False information has flaws and cannot interfere with Kai Ming."

"However, the truth can also achieve a scheme."

"The truly superior strategy does not need to deceive people."

Shennong opened his mouth: "Getting something for nothing?"

What if the plan is seen through?

You may not have lost.

But, I won.

And, I won big time.

Zhu Jiuyin's plans are always terrifyingly stable, regardless of whether the plan is seen through or not.

He only cares about his strategic goals.

Shennong finally reacted. After thinking clearly about the confrontation, he felt that if he were to face these two, no, and Zhuge Wuhou, he would probably be played to death in various ways. However, in this period, the Great Wilderness, Kunlun, Gui墟(ruins), Gonggong, Nine Netherworlds, and the human world, check and balance each other.

The first force to actively break the balance is always the one that dies the most miserably.

And the human race is the weakest, even to the point of not being regarded as a force at all, but rather as a battlefield. If things go wrong, the human world will be in chaos, turning into a battleground for various forces, with the people suffering and only the strong surviving.

Only this kind of balance highlights the importance of strategies and wise men.

Shennong suddenly reacted and asked curiously:

"However, by doing this, aren't you choosing to confront them in advance? Your fundamental purpose is actually to protect A-Yuan? Wasting so much effort, scheming against Kai Ming, advancing the steps, and even possibly triggering the battle with Kai Ming in Qingqiu in advance, just to protect A-Yuan's vital point from being noticed?"

"Shouldn't you also regard him as a pawn?"

The gray-robed man's movements paused.

Picking up the teacup, he said in a flat tone, "Heh, protect him? Is that so?"

The dragon who illuminates the Nine Netherworlds had ancient and deep eyes, and said indifferently:

"You can think about it yourself, what I'm doing it for."

Shennong was shaken, feeling only unfathomable.

Xuan Yuan Xing Tian pondered.

Xuan Yuan Xing Tian put their arms around each other's shoulders.

Xuan Yuan said:

"You say, does this mean that he was caught in the act, and is deliberately trying to cover it up?"

"Clearly, he's already been seen through, but he still wants to maintain his final dignity?"

Xing Tian pondered, "Yes, just like our previous actions."

"Clearly we don't understand, but we still have to maintain our last bit of dignity."

"Oh ho, I see now, I understand."

Xuan Yuan said, "Monster, what do you understand again?!"

Xing Tian crossed his fingers and rested them against his chin, pondering:

"Heh, you can think about it yourself, what I'm doing this for."

Xuan Yuan crossed his fingers, copying and pasting Xing Tian's actions, saying with a profound air:

"Oh? Is that so?"

"You can also think about it yourself, what I'm asking this for?"

Xuan Yuan and Xing Tian looked at each other, and then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! A wise man?!"

"Wahahahaha, this is a wise man, I get it!"

Shennong's mouth twitched: "..."

Since ancient times, reckless fools have been good at provoking.

Stay away, lest I get blood splattered on my face.

Zhu Jiuyin was expressionless, and snapped his fingers.

The lucid dream was directly cut off and dispersed. Xing Tian and Xuan Yuan were directly locked in a small dark room, unable to laugh, and furiously banging on the door, but unable to make a sound. The gray-robed man's mouth curled up, lightly drinking tea, "This is much quieter."

"I like seeing you in this angry but helpless state the most."

Shennong: "..."

You are clearly the celestial being who supports the Nine Netherworlds.

Do you have to make such a villainous statement that is bursting with evil?!

Xuan Yuan and Xing Tian gritted their teeth and banged on the door.

The main body is still there, you're all high and mighty! Full strength, you're amazing!

The gray-robed man admired the two's impotent rage.

Sorry, with the main body at full strength, you can do whatever you want.

Shennong sighed.

Kua Fu hasn't woken up yet, Da Yi is squatting there poking Kua Fu's face.

Poking a pit with each poke.

Chi You sat there quietly with a panda plushie, watching documentaries about the giant panda from various angles.

"Heh... my pandas, they're so cute, haha..."

The two great reckless fools were impotently enraged.

Zhu Jiuyin smiled and drank tea.

Shennong's mouth twitched: "Hopeless..."

"This dream is too chaotic..."

He gave up, saying, "There can't possibly be a more terrible and chaotic scene than this."
