Chapter 179 I’m Most Afraid of Strangers Suddenly Showing Me Concern

As the saying goes, the Daoist will always be… slightly more powerful than the devil.

After a battle of scheming against each other, between Daoist Wen Jing and Li Changshou, the latter took advantage of Daoist Wen Jing’s unstable Dao heart to lure her into the mortal world.

Daoist Wen Jing was considered one of the most powerful users of mystical abilities on the ranks of the vicious characters of the Primordial World. However, she could not see through the white-haired old immortal before her.

Ordinary deductions produced no results. If she forcefully deduced it, she would obtain… a warning from the Taiji Painting.

Therefore, Daoist Wen Jing confirmed her original thoughts. The person in front of her should be a hidden expert of Ren School!

Previously, the Great Daoist Master of Ren School had stood up for Sea God Sect. Ever since then, Daoist Wen Jing had kept her distance from the Sea God Sect.

However, Daoist Wen Jing did not expect that the Sea God of the South Ocean was a key character in Ren School…

Today, he had taken the initiative to plot against her, and he had ulterior motives. At the very least, if he could borrow the hands of Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao, he would be second only to… that man from Ren School.

An hour later, in a large city about three thousand kilometers to the northeast of Anshui City of the South Continent, there was a Sea God Sect temple that was thriving. The streets were filled with the “envoys” who preached the teachings of the Sea God Sect.

Li Changshou did not choose that place casually. Instead, he used his own statue to search all parts of the place. After careful consideration, he carefully selected that place as the best place to deceive Wen Jing.

At that moment, a paper effigy and a mosquito that was in human form walked on the street one after another.

Daoist Wen Jing used her mystical abilities to conceal her and Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s aura. She kept thinking about how to save herself.

If someone found out about her, it would be a fatal blow to her.

It could still kill her.

Li Changshou was also thinking…

Should he use the trick of “coercion” or the method of “taking advantage”?

However, he was certain that it was impossible for him to take the sexual route. He was not interested in crossing the racial obstacles.

According to the core point of the famous ‘Theory of Tricks’, in order to deceive such an expert, one had to first stabilize their unfathomable image. From the details, he would bring her into his own rhythm. Then, they would talk about frivolous things to give her a rich imagination.

It was easy to say, but it was difficult to do it.

Suddenly, he heard the sounds of gongs and drums ringing in the corner of the street. Many mortals were gathered there. There were sounds of them promoting the Sea God Sect.

Clang, Clang…

“Dear Masters, please stand down and tell us what you’re thinking.”

“Everyone, stand down. Let’s just do it casually. The Sea God will protect your entire family. There is no need to be afraid of going out to sea or climbing the mountain. The young lady from East Street and the bachelor from West City who can’t find a spouse, have prayed to the Sea God the day before yesterday, and now they have already exchanged betrothal gifts…”

Li Changshou smiled and listened for a while. Daoist Wen Jing, who was beside him, frowned slightly. However, she stared at the foolish and weak mortals.

She thought that there must be a deeper meaning behind that person’s words…

After a while, Li Changshou said, “Let’s go.” Daoist Wen Jing nodded slowly. She was even more puzzled and gave Li Changshou a harsh attitude.

There were many mortals on the streets, but not a single one of them looked over. Daoist Wen Jing’s mystical abilities were quite extraordinary.

Li Changshou was very envious of her ability that almost all mighty figures needed, which could reduce their presence.

“Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou held his horsetail whisk and smiled as he gestured for Daoist Wen Jing to follow him.

Li Changshou thought to himself that if she made things difficult for him, he would just destroy that incarnation.

Daoist Wen Jing also thought that although she was a vicious figure from the Blood Sea, she was not someone who could be easily humiliated. If the other party were to make things difficult for her, she would at most escape temporarily.

Li Changshou slowly spoke…

“Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Sea God Sect?”

Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly and answered, “Why don’t you speak faster?”

cause

“Some things can’t be said quickly that would ruin the beauty of it.

We were originally rivals, but now, we are taking a stroll in the streets of the mortal world. Isn’t that a wonderful thing?” Li Changshou continued leisurely, “Although you’ve targeted me several times, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. If not for the fact that you almost ruined my plans this time, I would not have forced you to this extent. Fellow Daoist, look at this place. The mortal world is troublesome. Mortals can live a hundred years old and die from old age. However, they are the main characters of this world. If you receive their worship, you can obtain merit from incense offerings. Why do you think that’s the case?”

Daoist Wen Jing pursed her lips and did not answer.

Li Changshou smiled. He knew that the trick did not work and immediately changed his train of thought.

He continued, “In the Primordial World, there are very few people who know about your background, Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, aren’t you curious about how I found out?”

“Oh?” Daoist Wen Jing still refused to give up. She asked, “Then, tell me what my background is.”

However, she could not even be bothered to refer to herself as a Daoist.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, please add a few more layers of isolation barriers. I’m really going to say it.” “Hmph.” Daoist Wen Jing snorted coldly and raised her hand to set up two layers of Dao runes around him. It was quite realistic.

At that moment, a mysterious Dao rune surged out of Li Changshou’s body.

Daoist Wen Jing saw with her own eyes that a small Taiji Painting flickered behind Li Changshou and disappeared.

She no longer doubted Li Changshou’s identity…

At that moment, Li Changshou said leisurely, “Fellow Daoist, you came from the netherworld. Your main body is the leader of the Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes, which are beasts of the Primordial World. You are currently working for the two masters who cannot be described. What you are doing now is planning to devour the dragon race. Are there any mistakes?”

Daoist Wen Jing’s face turned pale. She no longer had any thoughts of struggling. Instead, a crazy murderous intent rose in her instinctively. Her gaze kept changing, and her aura turned extremely cold.

Li Changshou said lightly, “There’s a saying that humans often use, and that is, Heaven, is watching what a person does.”

Daoist Wen Jing was instantly jolted awake. She sighed softly and revealed a charming smile. She said softly, “Fellow Daoist, since you’ve investigated my background so clearly and set up such a scheme, yet you didn’t kill me, you must be coveting something of mine. Fellow Daoist, please speak. As long as you don’t expose me, I’ll do anything you want.”

“Fellow Daoist…”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and suddenly asked, “Aren’t you tired?” The first move, coercion through emotional appeal. Daoist Wen Jing was clearly stunned. Li Changshou sighed and said, “Humans have an exquisite heart, so there are thousands of faces. The other living beings are the same. Look at the streets. Mortals are busy working for survival and food. They have to put on fake faces so that others can’t see through their hearts. We are cultivators outside the mortal world. We have a long lifespan, but we’re doing the same, aren’t we? Fellow Daoist, aren’t you tired?”

When Daoist Wen Jing heard that, she stopped smiling and looked at the mortals on the bustling street.

Li Changshou continued to move forward while Daoist Wen Jing followed him subconsciously. There was a hint of contemplation in her phoenix-like eyes, but it also revealed a hint of exhaustion.

She whispered, “It’s just for survival’.”

Li Changshou smiled and happened to pass by a brothel.

There was a wooden sign hanging on the red pillar in front of the brothel. On it was written: “The believers of the Sea God will enjoy a thirty-percent discount.’

Tsk, the publicity work of the Sea God Sect is indeed impressive.

Li Changshou looked at the figure resting in the brothel and said, “If we’re talking about forcing smiles, what’s the difference between us and them?”

The second move was “Being Relatable”.

Daoist Wen Jing sighed softly. “Fellow Daoist, you’re different from me.”

“No, we’re actually the same,” Li Changshou said calmly. “The Primordial World is like a chess piece. The Saints are the controller. Both of us are just pawns.”

Daoist Wen Jing said, “Fellow Daoist, you can see through it well.”

“It’s just for survival.”

Li Changshou calmly replied. Daoist Wen Jing’s gaze shifted slightly.

She asked again, “Fellow Daoist, don’t tell me that you just want to tell me this?”

“Of course not.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “To be honest, Fellow Daoist, you and I have already exchanged a few moves. I have some understanding of you.”

“Oh?” Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly. “I only schemed against the South Sea Divine Sect once.”

The third move, “Breaking Her Defense”.

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, do you remember the Immortal Du Sect? You have a puppet that I arranged to destroy.”

“It was you?”

“It was me. Also, you should have seen the little Daoist Master Xuan Du before.”

“That was you too?”

Li Changshou smiled without saying anything. He shook his horsetail whisk and continued moving forward.

Daoist Wen Jing could not help but follow him. Looking at Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s old face, she asked, “Then why didn’t you let Zhao Gongming and the others kill me?”

“If I want to kill you, why should I ask Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiong Xiao to do it?” Li Changshou said calmly, “There are a few old dragons in the dragon race. You should know.”

Daoist Wen Jing looked at Li Changshou and suddenly said feebly, “So, from beginning to end, I’ve been schemed by you.”

“You flatter me, Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m not the one who controls the game. I’m just a pawn.”

Daoist Wen Jing nodded slightly and looked up at the Nine Heavens.

“The Ren School has always been peaceful and quiet. However, when it comes to plotting, no one can compare to you. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Li Changshou smiled and did not say a word. He happened to pass by a restaurant and made an inviting gesture.

Daoist Wen Jing did not understand what was going on. However, Li Changshou had already completely controlled the tempo. She simply nodded and followed behind him. Without alarming any mortals, they went to a private room on the top floor of the restaurant.

The fourth move, “Drink some wine”.

Li Changshou took out his Drunken Immortal wine and said with a smile, “Why don’t we imitate the behavior of mortals today? Let’s get drunk and drown our sorrows in wine.’

Anyway, that incarnation of his was a paper effigy. He was not afraid of anything.

Daoist Wen Jing chuckled and did not reject him.

Soon, the two Night Light Cups were filled to the brim, and they have quickly emptied again. After a while, Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes were a little dazed.

It was probably because she was drunk.

Li Changshou pondered for a long time and finally, he found a sentence that could pierce through the heart of that ruthless person.

“Fellow Daoist, have you ever asked yourself why you are running around and being so busy?”

Daoist Wen Jing stared at the cup in her hand. “You should know why I listen to them.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He really did not know why.

However, that did not stop Li Changshou from continuing his plan.

“Fellow Daoist, have those people who have been using you ever looked at you seriously?”.

Many scenes surfaced in Daoist Wen Jing’s mind. She turned to look out of the window and said calmly, “Why do I need them to open their eyes to look at me? I’m the queen of a race. I can control the Blood Sea. If the two of them did not threaten my people with their lives…”

“Fellow Daoist,” Li Changshou interrupted Daoist Wen Jing and said seriously, “You can deceive others but not yourself. Do you really think so?”

Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly as she looked at Li Changshou. Then, she raised her head and poured a cup of Drunken Immortal wine down her throat. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and gradually released them. She sighed.

“That’s right. Back then, I could actually return to the Blood Sea and leave. However, the Reincarnation Paths and the Netherworld Palace had already been established. I had no place left, so I wanted to use the chance of my clansmen being detained to completely side with the West.

I have never said these words to anyone.

Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied?”

“Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it,” Li Changshou said. “Fellow Daoist, you should know that since Western Sect is using you now, you’re free of worries and can still obtain some benefits.

However if the Western Sect were to prosper, what would happen to you?”

Daoist Wen Jing said in a low voice, “Of course, my soul will be destroyed. When I’m dealt with, I’m afraid no one will know…

However, I can hide in the Chaotic Sea.”

Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with sincerity as he asked softly, “Can you dodge it? Everyone will be done. At that time, the Western Sect will shine brightly, and do you think you can hide in secret?”

Daoist Wen Jing did not say a word. Instead, she smiled coldly and poured another cup of wine.

“Tell me what you want me to do. What benefits can you give me? If you have a way to protect me from dying under the hands of the Saint, I can join you. That’s all.”

“I don’t want you to do anything, and I can’t use you.” Li Changshou smiled and began his next step. The fifth move, “Painting A Benefit”.

“But I can give you a clear path today.”

Li Changshou dipped his fingers in some wine and wrote two large words on the table.

‘Heavenly Courts’.

Li Changshou asked, “How much do you know about this place, Fellow Daoist?”

“Heh.” Daoist Wen Jing could not help but laugh. Her smile was full of mockery. “Do you think it can protect me?”

Li Changshou smiled and added the word ‘human’ beside the Heavenly Courts.

Daoist Wen Jing retracted her smile and said coldly, “Why do they want me?”

“Everything has Yin and Yang. There are day and night on heavens and earth.” Li Changshou wiped away the words and smiled. “If this place wants to rise in power, it requires both authority and sharpness.

Do you know why the Heavenly Courts are currently lacking legitimate gods like the Merit Mortal God and the Plague-scattering God?

That’s what I mean.”

Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Daoist Wen Jing. He said calmly, “Today, you only need to swear on this Great Dao. When the time is right, listen to my call. I can help you escape the suffering.

At that time, you will only be an executive who will secretly help the heavens. Other than the emperor, you don’t have to follow anyone’s orders.”

Daoist Wen Jing’s gaze was complicated. She grabbed the cloth and slowly opened it.

She looked up at Li Changshou…

Was this oath made by him?

Daoist Wen Jing nodded slowly and said, “I can swear, but you have to promise me one condition.”

Li Changshou said, “Just say it.”

“I want to see Great Daoist Master Xuan Du in the future.”

Li Changshou frowned slightly. For a moment, he did not dare to agree casually. However, a sudden realization appeared in his heart and condensed into a single word.

“Yes.”

Uh, the Saint has been watching? I shouldn’t have said anything just now, right? I’ve been thinking about everything for at least ten times… “Sure.” Li Changshou nodded immediately. “Make an oath.”

Daoist Wen Jing heaved a sigh of relief. She had never thought that she would have to make two complicated Great Dao oaths in a day. Furthermore, the current version was perfect and more comprehensive than before. It had even considered the Heavenly Dao’s interference.

Indeed, she did not fall for nothing.
