Chapter 140: Defeated by him, Leizhou is also given to him!
At this moment, the snow was falling heavily, engulfing the young girl that Ningkang County was currently indulging in with his subordinates.
After Wuchen arrived, he went about drinking tea by himself.
Even with snow falling heavily, they didn't dare to be negligent and quickly left the girl to change clothes.
"Master..."
He bowed deeply, showing utmost respect.
Wuchen glanced at him lightly.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself, while your master has been waiting for you..."
Xue Mantian trembled and quickly became even more respectful, saying, "This disciple dares not, please punish me, Master!"
The scene was quite peculiar: a noble and robust old man bowed deeply to a young boy.
Wuchen slowly rose to his feet, his Taoist robes fluttering even without wind.
The aura of a grandmaster is immediately apparent.
But he is more than just a Grandmaster.
"Well done, keep it up."
Xue Mantian nodded hurriedly: "Master means..."
Wu Chen smiled slightly: "Continue to train him."
Now he has established himself firmly. Once he defeats you, he will be as powerful as a dragon soaring in the sea, or as majestic as a roc spreading its wings.
I want you to lose to him, and then... you can go back to the capital and continue your pleasures.
Xue Mantian was somewhat surprised, but immediately nodded: "Yes, Master!"
Wuchen slowly turned around, seemingly calculating something.
Xue Mantian said cautiously, "Master, this disciple has some questions..."
He's been holding it in for a long time.
He truly didn't understand what his master was trying to do.
Why suddenly need to cultivate a traitor?
Don't we support King Qi?
Shouldn't we have eliminated the treacherous officials and eradicated the Crown Prince's faction and the Chu King's faction?
After all this back and forth, it seems even Yue Shan is starting to feel annoyed.
He was just about to get rid of this new leader when Wuchen made him lose to him, leaving him completely bewildered.
Wuchen also heard his question.
He smiled faintly: "If you can become a Martial Saint within a few years, I naturally won't need to act so recklessly."
But you can't, and neither can anyone else.
Even the Kunlun Mystic Maiden couldn't do that.
So, they need my help, don't they?
Xue Mantian was somewhat angry, but there was nothing she could do.
He was exceptionally talented, decisive, and adaptable, but because he started cultivating too late, he was unable to break through to the Grandmaster level.
It's been stuck for almost ten years now.
Not a single step forward!
He was angry, frustrated, and speechless.
"Master, why are you helping that lowly commoner who was born a slave!"
Xue Mantian knew Xu Tianyi quite well, so she was naturally somewhat resentful.
Wuchen scoffed, "Don't forget, you're nothing more than a lowly beggar..."
Xue Mantian paused for a moment, then sighed silently.
"Can he really do it?"
Wuchen chuckled: "You're wrong. Do you remember what your master said?"
"To take, you must first give!"
Wuchen nodded: "What I want is an ambitious Xu Tianyi, a Xu Tianyi who would do anything for power and strength!"
At the same time, I will use him alone to shake up all the geniuses of Wuji and make them work for me!
Xue Mantian exclaimed with excitement and admiration, "Master's insight is profound!! This disciple is in awe!!"
In his heart, he cursed Wuchen for being a lunatic, saying that he and Yu Linglong were a match made in heaven, treating all living beings as toys.
After thinking about it, he smiled.
What do I care about the fate of all people?
What I want is power, cultivation, and immortality. If you can give me these three things, I will do anything!
Thinking of this, his eyes became even more eager.
"Master, is there anything else I can do?"
Wuchen chuckled.
"You first... then..."
Wu Chen gave instructions for a long time before smiling smugly: "Do you understand?"
Xue Mantian laughed heartily: "Master, rest assured, your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Wuchen nodded slightly and teleported away.
A sinister glint appeared in Xue Mantian's eyes: "Zhang Wu!"
After a surge of internal energy, a middle-aged man outside the courtyard immediately shouted:
"The disciple is here!"
"Go back to the capital and prepare..."
"Yes!!"
. . .
Wuchen, on the other hand, was teleported to Twilight Valley.
A wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He scoffed inwardly: "You think that just because you know my plan, you can transcend the chessboard?"
I admit you have some skill, having broken my plans time and time again, but do you really think things are that simple?
All things, including the Myriad Manifestations, the Kunlun Mistress, the Royal Ancestor, and even the Ji Ling Emperor and the Divine Craftsman Shen Mengqi who attempted to revive, are nothing but pawns in my game, Wu Chen's game.
Of the fifty heavenly cycles, I alone possess forty-nine!
Thinking of this, his smile grew even brighter.
"You little brat, what are you plotting now?!"
Sure enough, Yu Linglong's voice slowly drifted down from the foot of the mountain.
Then, she floated slowly over and stood in front of Wuchen.
"Junior sister, it's time to send the Crown Prince out to war. How are the preparations going?"
Yu Linglong's expression was somewhat uncertain.
"It's much earlier than scheduled, isn't it...?"
Wuchen shook his head: "Just the right time..."
"The deployment of troops in October is only part of the plan!"
Wuchen pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Linglong.
She was never as close to him as she used to be.
She even stopped coming near him.
The sunset in Twilight Valley was exceptionally dazzling, with streaks of golden light illuminating the girl's enchanting face. In her serene state, she possessed an even more unique beauty.
"Junior sister, his cultivation is almost at the Grandmaster level..."
A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Yu Linglong's face: "So fast?"
Seeing her so surprised and delighted, Wuchen felt a pang of jealousy mixed with a strange sense of annoyance.
He then chuckled and said, "Yeah, that's fast..."
Yu Linglong suddenly realized what was happening, and the surprise on her face turned into worry.
"Since Junior Sister understands, then Wuchen need not say any more."
Yu Linglong glared angrily at Wuchen: "You little brat!!"
She didn't know how to scold him anymore. She was the one who was in control of him, but he had her figured out.
Even he himself dared not punish him by manipulating his soul.
Seeing her so angry, Wuchen felt a strange sense of satisfaction. This feeling of revenge made him even more unrestrained.
"Junior sister, your senior brother is trying to help you. He came here with good intentions to remind you, but he didn't expect you to treat Wuchen like this."
Alas! Is our friendship of over thirty years really so fragile...?
Yu Linglong turned around: "Senior brother, I'll give you another six months. If you can't unravel the Dragon Hidden Cave Heaven, then Linglong won't let you off the hook!"
Wu Chen's eyes sharpened: "Then, Junior Sister, you'd better cooperate well in completing the plan for the next six months. Otherwise, if I fail to do my job well and am taken away by Master, you'll be all alone..."
"Crap!!"
. . .
Yu Linglong left, leaving her feeling extremely frustrated and furious.
"Xu Tianyi..."
She closed her eyes, recalling the moments they had shared, feeling a pang of longing and reluctance. Then she sighed, "I'm sorry... I probably can't be your pet anymore..."
