Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 743: Dark Chess
Since Chu Tianyao's initial rise, the Eight Venerables have investigated his background in detail to prevent problems before they happen.He also knows the few characters who have intersected with him in the past.

Isn't the target person this time the same junior he hates the most?At this time, the Eight Venerables were sitting in their own room, carefully examining the jade slips, and at the same time comparing the materials at hand, they nodded secretly.In this case, why didn't he go by himself, but pushed it to Lao Qi?Was it true that he was injured by a white-clothed yin corpse, and his old illness relapsed?I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?

But if you take a closer look, this kid seems to be... The Eight Venerables frowned, and swiped their fingers on the jade slip to enlarge the picture.If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the kid who reported to Blood Cloud Hall that he killed their third hall master?Later, in the Vientiane Demon Realm, he escaped safely in his own pursuit... It seems that his life is quite big, and he has survived until now——

In this case, it would be... The eight venerables suddenly felt a movement in their hearts, and a guess that seemed bold but was the closest to the truth came out.

Using the boy surnamed Ye to take the opportunity to get rid of Lao Qi, once the superior dies, he himself can be promoted... And once that kid is charged with killing the venerable of the Nine Nether Palace, the hall master will not let him go, You don't even need Lao Jiu to do it yourself, kill two birds with one stone——

Thinking of this, even the Eight Venerables couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.But soon, his five fingers slowly tightened on the table, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

This kid really has a big appetite... Well, why not, I will do what I can and help him... Borrowing a knife to kill people without blood on their hands——

Once the old Qi dies, the position of the Seven Venerables will be vacant, so I can be promoted logically.At that time, as long as I report the relationship between Lao Jiu and the boy surnamed Ye to the top—to prove that his so-called injury recommendation is completely self-directed and self-acted, in order to design Lao Qi—in this way , Lao Jiu is finished, no one can threaten my position anymore——

As long as you do this a little bit, you can kill two powerful enemies at the same time. This is the real killing two birds with one stone...Although Lao Jiu is crazy, Jiang is still hot, so let him go to a dead end and become a stepping stone for my promotion Bar--

That's right... That's right... At that time, I have to go to watch the battle, just wait for Lao Qi to die in the hands of that kid, and then I will show my power and kill him to get back the fragments. This credit is comparable to that of Lao Jiu in the past Is it much bigger?Old Nine, don't blame me, anyway, I got rid of that old enemy for you...

The smiles on the faces of the Eight Venerables continued to widen, as if they had seen themselves being enshrined in public and enjoying the time of worship.

……

"Seven Venerables, it's time to eat."

In the room of the Seven Venerables, Mu Hansha arranged several dishes of side dishes separately, and specially brought a bottle of wine, and then stood there respectfully with bowed head.

The Seven Venerables nodded, lifted their chopsticks, and let out a long sigh: "This is the only time every day when you can relax for a while—"

Mu Hansha tentatively asked: "What the Seven Venerables are referring to, could it be that the Nine Venerables recommended you? This matter... I don't know what you think?"

The Seven Venerables smiled meaninglessly: "What else can I think, it is nothing more than that the target this time is a hard stubble, and the old nine just shirked it with excuses in order to protect his reputation of eternal victory. Of course, if there is a mistake on my side, then It's exactly what he wants."

Shaking his head, he concentrated on savoring the dishes in front of him, "He's just a young rookie who likes to jump around, and I don't want to argue with him, let him jump around like that."

The seven venerables and the eight venerables are both the same and different.To say the same thing, they have all worked tepidly in their positions for hundreds of years, with no great achievements or mistakes.To put it differently, the Eight Venerables are more like a shrewd businessman, always sharpening his head and waiting to take advantage of the loopholes. The higher the position, the heavier the power in his hands, and naturally he can open up more channels to make money.

And the Seven Venerables have always acted in a down-to-earth manner, and regard fame and fortune as things outside of themselves.For promotion, it is good to be promoted, but if you can't, you don't intend to force it.In his position, he seeks to manage his own affairs, and only seeks to properly complete the tasks assigned by the palace master.Among the venerables in Jiuyou Temple, he can be regarded as a rare "Buddha"-like person.

"Essentially speaking, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu are the same people, they can't rest for a moment, and they rack their brains to step on others to take the position." Speaking of this, the Seven Venerables sighed with some emotion.

"Oh, that's the way of being in a high position. There will always be a few pairs of eyes staring at you, making you uneasy. Hansha, if you also sit on the position of venerable in the future, then these intrigues will also be the ones you have to face. correct."

Mu Hansha nodded silently, and after that, he also responded to the words of the Seven Venerables, but his expression today always seemed a little absent-minded, his eyes seemed hesitant, sad, he hesitated to speak several times .

Normally, the Seven Venerables would be able to sense his abnormality, but this time the task of capturing the artifact fragments is a large-scale task that he has not received for a long time. Because it is related to the master of Tiangong, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, he must never accept it. Something went wrong.During the meal, the Seven Venerables also checked the information in the jade slips from time to time, carefully thinking about the countermeasures, and temporarily ignored others.

The meal was quickly used up, Mu Hansha put away the tray, tidied up the table, and left quickly.

Standing in the dark corridor, he took out the jade slip, quickly edited a message, and pressed the "send" button.

"It's done."

Yu Jian quickly dimmed, and the contact with the other party was usually reported unilaterally by himself, and he rarely replied.But Mu Hansha knew that some things had become a foregone conclusion at this moment.

"Seventh Venerable, I'm sorry..." Looking back at the room of Seventh Venerable, Mu Hansha bowed deeply, expressing the unique respect in his heart.

Yes, from the very beginning, Mu Hansha was a member of the Eight Venerables, a hidden chess piece he placed beside the Seven Venerables.

Back then when he was a humble servant, the Eight Venerables discovered him by accident, and made an agreement that he would guide him, and he would do things for him.

Mu Hansha agreed, and the next step was to be planned by the Eight Venerables, so that he attracted the attention of the Seven Venerables.The Seven Venerables valued talents, so they really kept themselves by their side.It was with his support that he could become the Holy Envoy of the Nine Serenities, and thus achieve his current glory.

Everyone thinks that he is the most capable newcomer of the Seven Venerable faction.But no one knows that their real masters are the Eight Venerables.

Over the years, the Seven Venerables have treated themselves with genuine care like a master and a father, while the Eight Venerables have only treated themselves as objects to be used from the beginning to the end.

Mu Hansha can tell right from wrong. Many times, he feels ashamed of the Seven Venerables, and he doesn't want to continue this relationship anymore.But whenever he showed anything, the Eight Venerables would threaten him viciously, don't forget who helped him up in the first place.

"If you don't have the deity's help, do you really think you can get Lao Qi's attention?"

"You want to be loyal to Lao Qi wholeheartedly. Well, if you let him know that you have always been a person of this deity. You have been with him all these years. I don't know how much information you have passed to this deity. Every communication you send interest, I’m still keeping it intact—do you think Lao Qi will trust your loyalty again when the time comes?”

"Even if you don't care about your own future, what about your family? Their prosperity, wealth, and even their lives are all just a word from the deity—"

"One day you are the dog of the deity, and you will be the dog of the deity all your life, and you are still a dog of 'unfaithful and unfilial'—"

Mu Hansha silently clenched the jade slip, his joints spasmed slightly.Soon... Soon all of this will be over, but my name of "disloyalty" will be hard to wash away after all...

***
In a barren plain, Ye Shuo was hurrying along.

Earlier, the owner of the rare curio shop suddenly sent a message, saying that the analysis of the artifact fragment had a result, and invited him to come and talk about it face to face.

Although Ye Shuo hadn't recovered from the blow of being rejected by Qi Dingsha, the artifact fragments were too important to his growth, so he hurried over according to the address in the summons without thinking too much.

After crossing this plain, you can reach the agreed town... Ye Shuo quickened his pace, and suddenly, the spiritual power in his body shook violently. Not far ahead, a black vortex quietly emerged. The old man in the robe stepped out slowly.

There was no killing intent on him, but where he stood, a wave of elements stopped by itself, as if he was afraid of something.

At this time, behind the mounds on both sides, the figures of Chu Tianyao and the Eight Venerables also quietly prostrated behind them, their eyes fixed on the confrontation in front of them.Of course, they don't know each other's existence.

"You are..." In the open space, Ye Shuo frowned, and when he saw the embroidered gold border on the other party's robe, his eyes suddenly focused, "The Seven Venerables of the Nine Nether Palace?"

The Seventh Venerable's eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "I don't want to do more evil. Honestly hand over the fragments of the tripod in your hand, and I will let you live."

Ye Shuo's heart was shocked. The other party was so sure that he had the tripod fragments... Not many people knew about this treasure. It was the survivors of the clock tower of time who leaked the news, or the owner of the curio shop, and it was all of them. help?

Reminiscent of the battle of the ancient tomb of the Rage God, if it was just a guess at that time, but now he is almost sure that the Jiuyou Temple knows the secret of this fragment, and they collected it wantonly in an attempt to restore the complete artifact!
"This fragment...what the hell is it?" Ye Shuo asked in a deep voice.

The Seven Venerables still looked indifferent: "You don't need to know."

Ye Shuo sneered, he had long regarded Jiuyou Palace as his lifelong enemy, and now that the other party came to him by himself, just in time for him to be in a bad mood, then don't blame yourself, use them as a punching bag!
"One fragment is already so powerful... I will never give it to you, and then go to harm the world!"

With a roar, Ye Shuo jumped up, with fire lingering in his palm, and slapped the Seven Venerables directly.

The Seven Venerables shook their heads and sighed, as if lamenting the stubbornness of this young man.At this time, he was still standing in place, without using any spiritual power or martial skill, he just casually struck out with a light palm, a powerful shock wave formed out of thin air, and Ye Shuo slammed into it, just like hitting an extremely fast object. The cannonball, the figure immediately receded a few feet backwards.

"Young man, your strength is far from that of this deity. It's better not to show off your loyalty for a while, and risk your life in vain." The Seven Venerables said calmly, looking down at Ye Shuo, just like looking at an ant.

"This kid... after three years, has he become so weak?" Chu Tianyao's eyes flickered, and he didn't know whether it was joy or worry.

If he died so easily in the hands of the Seven Venerables, it would be really a great achievement for me to hand over to others...

Looking at the two figures in the distance, Chu Tianyao calmed down his breathing again and again.Ye Shuo can be said to be the enemy who changed his entire life. It is because of him that he betrayed his relatives in the Dingtian Mountain Range and had to go into danger... It has been three years, even though he is in a high position now, but his hatred for him , never lessened by half.

Such a lifelong enmity was suddenly in front of him, and Chu Tianyao had to use all his restraint to suppress his spiritual power from dispersing.But he was clinging to the back of the sand dune, but there were already blue veins.

As soon as Ye Shuo was defeated and retreated, two deep ravines were formed on the ground under his feet, panting for breath.According to his judgment, the strength of these seven venerables is probably at least in the middle stage of the second-order Tongtian, and it is indeed too much pressure for him...

Can I only use that one move...Ye Shuo pondered for a while, then raised his hands decisively, and slowly traced in mid-air. The invisible power of law distorted the space, turning and forming between his fingers, like a layer of Transparent film.

"Time field!"

The barrier expanded rapidly, enveloping him and the Seven Venerables at the same time.The flow of time in this space has also undergone subtle changes.

Thanks to his comprehension in the clock tower of time, Ye Shuo's control over the power of time has deepened.Even facing an enemy like the Seven Venerables, it can be relied on to counterattack...!
"Time..." The Eight Venerables narrowed their eyes slightly.Unexpectedly, a boy at the gasification level can already use this level of time secrets.And three years ago, when he was being hunted down by him, he obviously hadn't mastered this move... This kid is indeed a disaster.

The Seven Venerables felt the domain covering their whole body, and their eyes were instantly moved.But soon, his expression turned indifferent again. Obviously, this level of oppression alone was not enough to make him feel threatened.

Ye Shuo clenched his teeth and concentrated on manipulating the domain in his hands.He also knows that this alone is not enough, so what if this trick combined with the law of space is added...?
Within the domain, cracks formed automatically, and a snake-shaped lightning was pushed out of each crack.In the way of space, they will be reproduced through space, increasing infinitely; while in the way of time, their incremental trajectory will run through the past, present, and future... The infinitely superimposed infinity is named——

"Super infinite stacking attack!"
