Chapter 85 - 85 Each Has Their Schemes
85 Each Has Their Schemes
A battle puppet?
Wei Chengyin revealed a confused look. With his knowledge, he naturally could not see the value and strength of a Mahayana-realm puppet.
“This battle puppet has the battle strength of a Mahayana-realm perfection cultivator. I’m sending you to the capital of the Li Dynasty and back to the royal family. With your cultivation of the Arhat realm, you won’t even know how you died. But with this battle puppet, not only with your life be safe, but you can also intimidate Wei Changtian and make him not dare to act rashly. Now, what you need to do is to return to the Li Dynasty and gain a firm foothold. I will make arrangements for the rest,” Lin Wudao said calmly.
What? The battle prowess of the Mahayana realm?
Hearing this, Wei Chengyin’s face lit up with excitement.
Although his Taixuan Sword Bone had been dug out and he was now a cripple, he still knew some general knowledge about the cultivation world.
Mahayana-realm powerhouses could suppress an area.
Even in the Li Dynasty, the strongest powerhouses were only in the Mahayana realm.
“Thank you for your kindness, Governor.”
After understanding the value of the Mahayana-realm puppet, Wei Chengyin immediately kowtowed.
His heart was filled with endless gratitude.
At this moment, he had already regarded Lin Wudao as his second parent.
“Get up. You are a smart person. You should know why I am doing this. The reason why I am helping you to the position is to make you my spokesperson. As long as you remain loyal, you will always be the master of the Li Dynasty. On the other hand, if I can help you, I can also destroy you.”
His cold and emotionless voice shook the soul.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chengyin took a deep breath.
“I understand. In this life, I’m willing to die for the governor.”
He bowed deeply.
“You may leave first. Later, follow Zhou Fengtian and the others to the Li dynasty. Now, they have become my slaves. You are all on the same side. If you need anything, you can look for them.”
“Yes.”
Wei Chengyin bowed respectfully, then put away the Mahayana-realm puppet and left the hall.
…
Whoosh!
Half a day later, a spiritual boat streaked across the sky. Zhou Fengtian brought Wei Chengyin and left the City of Sin.
Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a faint smile as he watched them leave.
“The chess piece Wei Chengyin has already entered the Li Dynasty. I’ve killed Chu Shanhe, and with that Mahayana-stage puppet, Wei Changtian shouldn’t dare to provoke me again even if he has thousands of grudges and anger in his heart. At the same time, out of fear of me, he won’t dare to make a move on Wei Chengyin.”
“After I’m done with Sunset Battlefield, I can start to take care of the Li Dynasty. I can take over the entire Yuan State in one go. At that time, I’ll be able to control a state, which should give me quite a lot of Fate Energy value.”
Lin Wudao secretly calculated in his heart.
Everything was within his control.
He wasn’t afraid that Wei Changtian and the Li Dynasty could escape from his hands. If that really happened, he would just flip the table.
Violence had always been the most straightforward way to solve problems.
…
“Master, the leader of the Seven Kills Alliance, Tu Qianqiu, requests an audience.”
Just as Lin Wudao was deep in thought, one of the mourners came up to him and reported.
The Seven Kills Alliance?
Lin Wudao was confused.
He didn’t seem to have anything to do with the Seven Kills Alliance, right?
“Let him in.”
Very quickly, under the guidance of a mourner, Tu Qianqiu arrived at the main hall of the Demon Subduing Division.
“Tu Qianqiu of the Seven Kills Alliance pays his respects to Governor Lin.”
“Sit.”
Lin Wudao pointed to the seats at the side.
With a single glance, Tu Qianqiu’s information was shown.
Similarly, Tu Qianqiu was also sizing up Lin Wudao secretly.
However, even with his ability and strength, he did not obtain any useful information. When his eyes fell on Lin Wudao, it was as if he was shrouded in fog.
Whether it was Lin Wudao’s cultivation or anything else, none of his information could be seen clearly.
“He’s indeed not a simple person,” Tu Qianqiu sighed in his heart.
He was now increasingly cautious and wary of Lin Wudao.
“Leader Tu, may I know why you have come to my Demon Subduing Division today?”
There was a long silence before Lin Wudao broke the silence, his voice calm and collected.
Upon hearing this, Tu Qianqiu chuckled.
“I’ve indeed come here today to discuss an important matter with Governor Lin. I wonder if the governor has heard of Sunset Battlefield?”
Hmm?
Lin Wudao looked at him in surprise when he heard this.
“It seems like the governor knows about it. Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. A friend of mine suddenly visited a few days ago and brought with him an origin treasure map, According to the treasure map, there’s a divine item called the origin auspicious energy in Sunset Battlefield. It has the heaven-defying ability to steal the fortune of the heavens and earth. Its greatest effect is to increase a person’s aptitude by more than a hundred times. Governor, would you be interested in treasure hunting?” Tu Qianqiu said with a smile.
The origin auspicious energy? Increase one’s aptitude by a hundred times?
As he listened, Lin Wudao’s eyes instantly lit up with a brilliant divine light.
What he lacked was aptitude.
If the origin auspicious energy was really so magical, his aptitude would be enhanced by a hundred times and with that, he could barely be called a genius. It would also be easier for him to cultivate.
“Are you telling the truth?”
“Of course. The governor’s might is known throughout the City of Sin. Even if I have ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to lie to you.”
As Tu Qianqiu said this, he passed the half piece of the treasure map he had prepared to Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao’s God’s Spiritual Eyes swept across the map, and the information and origin of the map were clearly displayed.
[Name: Origin treasure map (half)]
[Description: 1. A treasure map left behind by a powerhouse at the end of the ancient era. He laid down an Origin Great Array on Sunset Battlefield, which condenses a wisp of origin auspicious energy every 1000 years.]
[2. One wisp of the origin auspicious energy can increase one’s aptitude by a hundred times.]
[Note: 1. The other half of this treasure map is in the hands of the outer sect disciple of the Dari Demonic Sect, Saint Qing Ming.]
[2. Each person can only absorb one wisp of the origin auspicious energy.]
…
It was actually true.
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the map in his hand.
Then, his eyes fell on Tu Qianqiu again.
“Since you have this treasure map, why don’t you go to Sunset Battlefield to look for the treasure yourself? Why did you come to me?”
“Hehe, it’s for the sake of safety, of course. I’m sure you know that Sunset Battlefield is extremely dangerous. It’s said that many powerful existences died in the great war 3000 years ago. With just me and two of my friends, I’m afraid we won’t be able to return alive. It’s always good to have one more helper.”
Tu Qianqiu’s face was honest, but Lin Wudao did not believe his nonsense.
Usually, nothing good would come out of a free lunch.
Tu Qianqiu definitely had other plans.
That being said, although Lin Wudao was suspicious, he did not ask further.
His physical body was invincible, and he had also forged the Disaster-Avoiding Golden Body. Even if Tu Qianqiu really had other plans and was plotting against him, he was completely unafraid.
Now, he was full of confidence.
“Who else are there?”
“Well, other than the friend who provided me with the map, there are two others, both at the perfection of the Origin Return realm.”
“Very well then.”
Lin Wudao nodded.
He yearned for the so-called origin auspicious energy.
“Since that’s the case, then it’s a deal. There are still twelve days before Sunset Battlefield officially opens. At that time, we will go together.”
Seeing that Lin Wudao had taken the bait, Tu Qianqiu’s heart was filled with joy.
Then, the two chatted for a while before he left.
“Hmm…”
Looking at Tu Qianqiu’s departing back, Lin Wudao’s eyes emitted a cold light.
Whoosh!
After pondering for a while, he immediately created a doppelganger who quietly followed after Tu Qianqiu.
