Domineering

Chapter 253 Notoriety (for subscription)

When the Great Elder of the Battle Hall 'Ao Guo' came to the high platform, his face was full of joy.

"The Bloody Sword has won its owner! The death-killing sword will reappear in the world!"

When Ao Guo spoke, the tiger's eyes opened slightly, and he looked around coldly: "Please suzerain to close the mountain as soon as possible! The lesson from the previous time must be taken as a warning."

"It's no use."

Zhi Feizi, the great elder of the Artisan Academy, shook his head slightly, and he made a magic formula.

Unexpectedly, countless blood lights gathered, and began to condense the second "Blood Sword Sword" on the magic knife platform.

This is clearly a metamorphosis of illusion, regardless of its appearance and inspiration, it is the same as the real "Blood Sword".

"——Today, the bloody knife turned into a rainbow, and there was very little movement. There were no more than 20 people in the mountain who saw this scene, and only a small area was needed. If we make a big move for this, seal off the whole mountain, On the contrary, it will arouse people's speculation."

The suzerain Li Changsheng looked at Lu Shouyang, the chief elder of the Discipline Academy, and Fang Zheng, the chief elder of the Xunshan Academy: "What do you two think?"

To block the news of the Xue Ya Sword, we still have to rely on the strength of these two people.

Fangzheng thought for a while, and then said in a concentrated voice: "Brother Zhifeizi's words are reasonable! After the last incident, the magic knife platform is always covered by illusions. There are really not many people who can observe this scene today."

Lu Shouyang, the chief elder of the Discipline Academy, put his hands behind his back, with a cold face: "If you rush to close the mountain, you will only scare the snake! I will handle this matter, and this time it will be safe."

He made a similar promise last time, but it backfired, and the news leaked the next day.

Lu Shouyang regards this incident as a great shame and humiliation, and has been brooding on it all the time, wanting to win back a city and atone for his previous crimes.

"That's settled then."

The suzerain Li Changsheng nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Qingxu, tomorrow you can issue a talisman and ask the 38 Special Envoys of Xue Ya why they haven't found any traces of the descendants of Xue Ya so far? Please tell them strictly to search for them in the local area. Give them greater authority and manpower, and expand the scope of the investigation to all the young talents in the local area, be sure to be detailed and thoughtful, and not miss any possible candidates."

"Follow the order!" Qing Xuzi, the chief elder of the academy, raised his palm and bowed slightly.

He understood Li Changsheng's intentions.

Today, the 'Xue Ya Shen Knife' has clearly sensed the position of the person who is qualified to inherit the 'Death Touching Knife of God's Will'.

They only need to follow the traces of the 'Xue Ya Shen Dao' to search for it. Where do they need those special envoys of Xue Ya to go to war and search hard?

The suzerain's order is nothing more than to confuse people's eyes and ears, so as to disturb the seeing and hearing of those who are interested.

The suzerain Li Changsheng then scanned all the people, and finally his eyes fell on Qingxuzi, the chief elder of the teaching academy: "In addition, I also invite Junior Brother Qingxu to go south with the Xueya sword and pass on the Xueya sword to others as soon as possible." Bring it back to the sect!"

At this time, in Wuxiang Shenzong, when it comes to combat power, it is naturally headed by the Great Elder of the Battle Hall 'Ao Guo' and the Great Elder of the Discipline Academy 'Lu Shouyang'.

But if he is mature, prudent and capable, the one who makes him most at ease can only be Qingxuzi.

Qingxuzi's eyes suddenly showed awe-inspiring meaning: "I will definitely go all out and live up to my brother's entrustment!"

"It's not going all out! It's about bringing him back, no matter what the cost!"

Li Changsheng's white and chubby round face was extremely dignified at this moment.

His eyes were sharp, and there was an infinite chill: "The touch of the death knife by the divine will is related to the rise and fall of our sect, and even life and death! You must strictly guard the secret, no matter who dares to leak the news, I will make him lose forever!"

The faces of Ao Guo and the others were also stern and serious.

Finding the descendants of the 'Shenyi Touching the Death Knife' does not mean that they can rest easy.

The practice threshold of this saber technique is as high as the third rank, which means that it may take more than ten years, or even decades, for the heir of Xue Ya to master this saber technique.

Before this, this person did not have much power to protect himself.

In addition, it is foreseeable that several of their archenemies are absolutely unwilling to see the death knife reappeared in the world by God's will.

Even the royal family of Daning will try their best to obstruct it.

Ten years ago, were they willing to give up Tyrant Martial King and expel him from the sect?
Not also!

That was the result of three first-rank Shenzong sects, two first-rank demon sects, and twelve second-rank sects who joined forces to put pressure on Wuxiang Shenzong and Tieshan Qin's.

The Wuxiang Shenzong is not afraid of these pressures.

They are not afraid to inherit the blood and become enemies of these sects.

Tieshan Qin couldn't do it.

At that time, the lord of Tieshan Qin's family and the father of Qin Muge personally wrote a letter to ask Wuxiang Shenzong to release him, let Qin Muge return to Qin's family, and inherit Tieshan Qin's family.

Now that I think about it, this matter is quite strange, and Qin Muge's father died on the battlefield less than half a month after the letter was sent.

The truth of it, they have not yet found out.

However, the situation and danger of the successor of "Shenyi Touching the Death Knife" can be imagined from this.

※※※※

In Xiushui County, Dongzhou, Chu Xisheng hid in a cave, refining the last trace of blood in his body.

He then focused his attention and looked at his character panel.

At this time, behind the "Jiazi Zhenyi" in the column of Wuyi, the "Eightfold" has changed into "Ninefold".

The two of them are the strengthening benefits brought to him by the symbiosis with Xiaopingtou, and the remaining seven are cultivated by Chu Xisheng himself.

In fact, two quarters ago, he was still at the sixth level, but Chu Xisheng had an epiphany when he assimilated and melted the blood of Yazi.

Chu Xisheng is not yet qualified to read the follow-up "Jiazi Picture", but he has studied the true meaning of Yazi in the dream for several months, and learned the "Kamikaze Mirror Knife", engraved the "God's Intention" tattoo, and a small The live Yazi larva with the flat head was by his side.

He has worked hard on his own, tirelessly participated in the research, and deduced more than half of the seventh level of the true meaning of blood.

At this time, it will be a matter of course, and this martial arts has been cultivated to the seventh level.

Not only did Yazi really break through, but Chu Xisheng's Shenfeng Mingjing Dao was also upgraded by a level, from the seventh level to the eighth level.

Chu Xisheng then turned his attention to the talent column again, looking at the four characters 'Jiazi (Level [-])' inside.

——The first stage of the Yaizu bloodline can make people have part of the physique of the Yazi beast, and the body can breed weak strength of kamikaze, Gengjin and the power of thunder.

——Do you want to use 1.5 blood points to strengthen the blood of Yazi to the fourth level?
The commentary on the bloodline of Yaizu is extremely simple, only a short line of words, and it does not explain in detail what this part of the constitution contains.

Chu Xisheng could only vaguely feel that his physical strength, strength, reaction force, speed, flesh and blood strength, etc. had all been strengthened by [-] to [-]%.

This is already strong!

Even a slight difference in strength and speed between masters is enough to determine the outcome.

The key point is that after Chu Xisheng added Yazi's blood talent, the various blood talents in his body did not conflict, and there was no sense of swelling between the bone marrow blood and the meridians.

This talent is actually extra harmonious with several of his own talents——

wrong!To be more precise, his Yazi bloodline is the main body, and the rest of his talents are outsiders.

This talent bloodline seems to have always been hidden deep in his body, and it was not awakened until this moment.

To Chu Xisheng's surprise, there was also the text "whether to use 1.5 blood points to strengthen Yazi's bloodline to the fourth level".

This has never been seen in other bloodline talents.

Whether it is Chunyang and Shenshang, or Zantian and Taishang Tongshen, he must refresh it in the martial arts treasure house and exchange it in the form of commodities.

Chu Xisheng suppressed the joy in her heart, and chose 'yes' in her heart.

Then he felt that the bones in his body began to itch from the inside out, and the blood pulse burst out.

Chu Xisheng had experienced this feeling many times, and he was able to deal with it calmly.

Bai Xiaozhao who was facing him frowned.

She clasped her hands together, and tried her best to block the inspiration here with her demon power.

This time Chu Xisheng's aura fluctuated a little bit larger than before, which made her feel very strenuous.

Chu Xisheng continued to look at his talent bar.

——The fourth stage of Yazi's bloodline can make people have the physique of a carcass Yazi beast, breed weak powers of kamikaze and Gengjin in the body, weak strength of thunder power, and possess the "iron mirror" of carcass Yazi First'.

Tie Ya Jing Armor (carcass) - Ya Zi must retaliate, has the most powerful defense ability in the same level, and can reflect [-]% to [-]% of all external forces, and can ignore all Gengjin powers below the eighth rank.

——Do you want to use 31 blood points to strengthen the bloodline of Yazi to the sixth level?
Chu Xisheng looked at these annotations, and wondered if the so-called 'carcass' refers to the state of the Yazi beast when it was in the fetus?
The normal juveniles of the Yazi divine beast are indeed of the sixth rank at birth.

Xiaopingtou is an exception, it is a ghost body, strictly speaking, it can also be regarded as a carcass at present.

Then his mind moved slightly, causing a layer of silver-white scales to appear on the skin all over his body.

This is the iron mirror armor.

These scales are as smooth as a mirror, reflecting all the light around them.

Chu Xi was overjoyed.

This layer of 'Iron Mirror Armor' can make his physical defense stronger and indestructible.

Three layers of outer scorpion, two layers of magic weapon armor inside and outside, plus this iron mirror armor, nine-refined extreme element purple gold body, Chu Xisheng estimated that ordinary seventh-rank martial arts practitioners would not be able to cut his skin with all their strength.

Among those sixth rank martial arts cultivators, there were very few who could break through his 'iron mirror armor'.

Accidentally, he lived his ideal life.

Not only has a sword that can kill any martial artist of the same level, but also has a physical body that is difficult for any martial artist of the same level to break.

The key point is that this iron mirror armor can also reflect [-]% to [-]% of all external forces!
Especially the word "all" in all external forces. I wonder if it really includes forces of all natures?
If so, then this ability is extra terrifying.

Chu Xisheng then chose yes in his mind and strengthened the Yazi bloodline to the sixth level.

As the 31 blood points disappeared, the itching in his body increased again, his heart beat like a drum, blood was surging, and the tide poured into the limbs, strong and powerful.

——The sixth stage of Yazi's bloodline can make people have the physique of a juvenile Yazi beast, breed the power of medium-strength kamikaze and Gengjin in the body, and the power of weak thunder, and possess the "iron mirror armor" of juvenile Yazi , to raise one level of 'Jia Zi Zhen Yi'.

Tie Ya Jing Armor (larvae) - Ya Zi must retaliate. It has the most powerful defensive ability in its class, and can reflect [-]% to [-]% of all external forces, and can ignore all Gengjin powers below the seventh rank.

——Do you want to use 297 blood points to strengthen the bloodline of Yazi to the ninth level?
Sure enough, the Yaizu bloodline is like other talents. Every time it is upgraded to three levels, it will awaken a kind of ability, which is similar to the bloodline supernatural power of the monster race.

Chu Xisheng felt that his physical fitness had strengthened a lot.

After the 'Iron Mirror Armor' entered the larval stage, it has also improved a little, and can reflect [-]% more external force.

As for the so-called 'Power of Gengjin', it not only includes all the spells of the gold system, but also the corresponding sword qi and knife gang and so on.

This is also an extremely powerful ability, which means that the sword energy of the seventh rank is useless to him, and it cannot hurt him at all.

However, among the seventh-rank martial arts, there are very few people who have cultivated sword qi.

What Chu Xisheng cared most about was the last piece of information that appeared in his mind.

His breathing became rough.

Chu Xisheng had a premonition that once the ninth level of Yazi's bloodline was upgraded, his overall strength would definitely change drastically.

Without hesitation, he chose 'yes' directly.

At this moment, Chu Xisheng's heart thumped.

It was just beating drums before, but now it's thunder!There was a "rumbling" echo in the catacomb, and the upper part was impacted by Chu Xi's true energy and blood, and the mud and sand fell down, showing the potential to collapse.

There were blue veins all over Chu Xisheng's body, coiling around his body like green snakes.

Bai Xiaozhao could no longer suppress the ideas around him.

What worried her even more was Chu Xisheng's current state.

Bai Xiaozhao was very anxious. She was worried that Chu Xisheng's true energy and blood would attract powerful enemies, and she was also worried that Chu Xisheng would fail to integrate the 'Jiazi essence and blood'.

This is very strange, when she saw Chu Xisheng's situation just now, she had clearly refined the blood of Yazi, so why did such a change happen again?

Xiaopingtou is the call of 'ang ang'.

It has already refined the first-grade Yazi blood essence that it has incorporated into itself, and at this moment it is jumping up and down on Chu Xisheng's body with great excitement, and from time to time it rubs Chu Xisheng's face with its small head.

In its eyes, Chu Xisheng is already its kind, so it is extra close.

Time passed by quietly, and Bai Xiaozhao was relieved that Chu Xisheng's previous arrangement worked. They stayed in this valley cave for a full hour, but no one found it.

Chu Xisheng didn't show any signs of blood disintegration or physical changes.

Just after midnight outside, Chu Xisheng's thunderous heartbeat gradually recovered.

——The ninth stage of Yazi's bloodline can make people have the physique of a juvenile Yazi beast, breed high-intensity kamikaze and Gengjin power in the body, medium-strength thunder power, and possess the "Iron Yazi Mirror Armor" and "Jiazi Shengang" has been upgraded to "Jiazi True Meaning".

Tie Ya Jing Armor (Youth) - Ya Zi must retaliate. It has the most powerful defense ability in its class, and can reflect [-]% to [-]% of all external forces, and can ignore all Gengjin powers below the sixth rank.

Blood Yashen Gang (Youth) - All your Gang Qi can be mixed with the power of Divine Wind and Seventh Metal, turning into a Divine Gang, and its strength and toughness will be strengthened by [-]% to [-]%.

Chu Xisheng can be regarded as a man of the city.

At this time, his face was still flushed, and he clenched his fists with excitement.

The 'Iron Mirror Armor' in its juvenile state is already extremely powerful.

The following blood is even more a surprise.

If his understanding is correct, the effect of this bloody scorpion not only includes his three-layer outer scorpion, but also his sword scorpion.

At this time, Chu Xisheng's character panel also changed greatly.

Character: Chu Xisheng
Fame: Under the seventh rank (Super Tianjiao)

Martial Arts: Kamikaze Mirror Sword (eight layers), Phantom Cloud Trace (seven layers), Shenlei Cave True Finger (seven layers)

Martial Intent: Yazi True Intent (Ten Levels), Wind and Thunder Martial Intent (Six Levels)
Yuan Gong: Wuxiang Gong (sixth level/lower level seven), nine-refinement extreme Yuan Zijin body (sixth level)
Blood Points: 934.8
Talents: Yazi (ninth level), Shenshang (sixth level), Zantian (fourth level), Chunyang (seventh level), Taishang Tongshen (seventh level), Wind and Lightning Hand (seventh level), Time and Yin The body of the instant shadow (level [-])
Status: Liuyin Resurrection Curse, Symbiosis (Tier [-])
Lifespan: 252 days

In addition to the reduction of the blood point by 934, the increase of 'Jiazi True Meaning' to the tenth stage, and the addition of the ninth-level Yazi talent.The symbiosis between Chu Xisheng and Xiaopingtou has also been raised to the third level in one fell swoop, and the lifespan has also increased to 252 days.

Chu Xisheng was quite moved, his life span was finally approaching one year, it was not easy.

At this moment, Bai Xiaozhao frowned again: "Brother, I feel that this place is no longer safe. Just now, two sorcerers' wind sense skills have blown across the valley outside."

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words.

He estimated the time, at this time, four hours had passed since he merged into the blood essence of Jai Zi, those Blood Wind Bandits should have found this place.

"let's go!"

Chu Xisheng put away the five pieces of sixth-grade jade charms on the ground, and hurried out of the burrow.

Just after the two left the crypt, Chu Xisheng slashed back, causing the crypt to collapse.

There were traces of Chu Xisheng breaking through Yazi's bloodline, and he didn't want others to see it.

Just as the knife was slashing out, Chu Xisheng was slightly stunned.

He found that the degree of strengthening of the Dao Gang was not only [-]% to [-]%!
This is more than twice as strong as his previous Dao Gang!

Afterwards, Chu Xisheng came to a realization.

This should be the reason why a large amount of 'Gengjin' power has been bred in his body.

The so-called Dao Gang Jian Qi is actually the product of the fusion of Wu Xiu's true essence and Geng Jin's power.

Therefore, this ninth-level 'Jairus Bloodline' has strengthened him far beyond his own expectations.

Bai Xiaozhao who was behind also blinked in surprise: "What a strong Dao Gang! Brother, your current strength seems to be much stronger than yesterday."

Chu Xisheng smiled silently.

His current strength is not only much stronger.

Chu Xisheng looked up at the sky, and found that there was a morning star in the sky.

He glanced around again, identified the direction a little bit, and ran towards the north.

While Chu Xisheng used his body skills to sprint, he was distracted and refreshed his martial arts treasure house.

It is still 0.5 blood points per day, [-] consecutive swipes.

Chu Xisheng didn't get any talent products, but he completed all the extreme trick cards in the storage box.

He now has a very thorough understanding of 'Extreme Recruitment Card'.

Just like Qin Muge's "Three-Phase Sword", it is based on Chu Xisheng's existing cultivation base and talent, combined with Qin Muge's blood talent in the seventh-rank period, martial arts attainments, battle plans, martial arts, and the way of heaven. Rhyme and so on, a powerful extreme move.

These "extreme tricks" can allow him to display combat power far beyond his own level.

Bai Xiaozhao followed closely behind Chu Xisheng, and asked curiously: "Brother, is he going back to Taizi Lake to find your Heluo fish? Didn't brother say yesterday that it would be dangerous to stay in Taizi Lake?"

Chu Xi heard the words and smiled: "This is called this moment and that moment, and there is another word called reverse thinking."

Judging from the spiritual information sent back by He Luoyu Zombie, yesterday's Taizi Lake was indeed quite thrilling.

Bloodwind Pirates mobilized a large number of people from nowhere, and they searched the entire Taizi Lake.

Although He Luoyu Zombie obeyed his orders and has been lurking under the deep water, he was still found by the opponent three times in a row.

Fortunately, the net pulled by Xuefeng Pirates was not tight enough, and He Luoyu Zombie did not have the burden of Chu Xisheng, and escaped dangerously with the help of water escape.

However, most of the members of the Bloodwind Bandit have been able to confirm that they did not act together with the He Luoyu Zombie.

Otherwise, they would not have shifted the focus of their search to the south bank of Taizi Lake.

But in this way, Taizi Lake became relatively safe again.

Chu Xisheng thought about this, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "We are just passing through Taizi Lake, and I want to go to Taishan County in the north."

Bai Xiaozhao became even more confused when he heard the words, what is reverse thinking?not understand.

She tilted her head: "Going to Taishan County? Elder brother is going to escape there and take a detour back to Xiushui?"

"I'm going to take a detour over there."

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly, and then there was a strangeness in his eyes: "But it's not escaping. Simple escaping will never allow you and me to return to Xiushui safely. The terrain of Taishan County is complicated, and there are basalt stones that hinder the induction of spiritual consciousness. The most suitable place for you and me to fight—"

Just as Chu Xi finished speaking, he saw more than twenty burly figures standing in front of a dense forest in front of him.

The leader among them was a Blood Wind Bandit in a blood-clothed rank six.

The other [-] or so people looked like water bandits and pirates, all with dark skin and short coats.

Their cultivation bases are very good, and there are six or seven people of the seventh rank that Chu Xisheng can clearly sense.

These people either held strong crossbows or heavy bows in their hands, and there were even two Immortal Tribulations inside.

The blood wind bandit's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Xisheng.

He raised his hand and picked up a bamboo tube, throwing it towards the sky.The bamboo tube exploded in the air, releasing bright fireworks, shining in the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

When the person let off the fireworks, he just stared at Chu Xisheng, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Chu Xisheng smiled hoarsely, showing a mouthful of cold white teeth: "Xiao Zhao!"

Bai Xiaozhao and Chu Xisheng are connected by essence and blood, and can sense some of Chu Xisheng's intentions.

With a sound of 'canopy', she changed into the shape of a white sable again, and landed on Chu Xisheng's shoulder.

At this moment, dozens of strong bows and crossbows in front of him fired at Chu Xisheng.

Those two 'Immortal Tribulation' even produced thousands of silver needles in a short period of time.

Chu Xisheng himself swung his saber forward, cutting out a screen of silver and white sabers.With those bows and arrows and silver needles, they rushed forward like sharp arrows.

Bai Xiaozhao was a little worried at first, fearing that Chu Xisheng would not be able to cope with those immortal tribulations.

But then he discovered that those bows and arrows and silver needles were all rewinding back like a waterfall amidst bursts of 'jingling' sounds.

The water bandits and pirates in short coats were caught off guard, and most of them were hit by the silver needles of bows and arrows, making howls.

Only the Grade [-] Blood Wind Bandit resisted the torrential rain of needles.

And just as he dodged the last silver needle, Chu Xisheng had already come in front of him.

The heart of the sixth-rank Blood Wind Bandit skipped a beat, thinking of the 'Blood Rain Sword' Yu Chiyang and the 'Ghost Shadow Sword' Lu Han who almost died on the river yesterday in the hands of Chu Xisheng and Bai Diao.

His scalp was numb, and extreme fear grew in his heart.

But this person immediately suppressed his emotions, and spared no effort to strike forward: "Go to hell!"

He broke out with all his strength, and the speed of his sword almost caught up with the blood rain sword Yu Chiyang, and even burst out with a three-foot sword gang, with an astonishing momentum.

Chu Xisheng didn't make any evasive moves. After he approached, the Xun Feng Zhen Lei Knife in his right hand came out of its sheath with a 'choke' sound, bringing out a phantom.

In the next moment, the head of the Blood Wind Bandit soared into the sky, spraying out a large amount of blood.

"Brother is so amazing!" Bai Xiaozhao's eyes lit up, and his expression was delighted.

Chu Xisheng didn't use any powerful moves just now, it was just a "drawing a knife" move that came from nowhere.

However, Chu Xisheng's sword speed was a little faster than the opponent's, and Dao Gang was also two inches longer than this person.

This is purely overwhelming, stronger and faster than the opponent.

After beheading this person, Chu Xisheng continued to run in the direction of Taizi Lake in the north.

However, he didn't speed up because of his whereabouts being exposed, he still maintained his previous speed, his body was light and agile, and he walked leisurely.

Even if Chu Xisheng saw more blood wind bandits around him coming, chasing and intercepting him, he only sped up his movement a little.

Bai Xiaozhao didn't say a word, just watched silently.

She understood what Chu Xisheng meant.

Since Chu Xisheng has the current strength, why did they run away?
They couldn't help but those five ranks, but below the fifth rank, no one could support their joint move.

As long as they maintain a certain speed and do not come into direct contact with these fifth ranks, the rest of the blood wind bandits will be slaughtered by them.

But it is still necessary to return to Taizi Lake as soon as possible, as long as they meet the He Luoyu zombies, no one can do anything to them.

Chu Xisheng didn't know what was going on in Bai Xiaozhao's mind.

He was looking at the screen full of fireworks in front of him again with slight doubts.

Different from before, although the fireworks this time were extra huge, occupying almost all of his field of vision, the color was black and gray.

Chu Xisheng zoomed in on the virtual screen again.

At this time, his character panel really changed.

Fame: Under the seventh rank (Super Tianjiao/Evil)
In the column of reputation, there is an extra word 'evil'.

Chu Xisheng focused his attention, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

——You have been wanted by the imperial court, and some people regard you as a villain.In addition to his own reputation in martial arts, he can gain additional notoriety.

Notoriety is scary, and it can be converted into blood points according to the [-]% discount ratio of martial arts fame.

Chu Xisheng suddenly had two thoughts in his mind.

One is that the prefect Sikong Chan is really troublesome, and I don't know how much money this person spent to clear up the relationship, so he was sent to the black list.

Another thought is to earn.

His blood point actually increased to more than 1200 in this short moment!
Chu Xisheng was amazed.

If the blood point continues to increase according to this trend, he can even try to use the blood point to forcibly raise the "Jai Zi Wu Yi" to the eighteenth level, and then reversely launch the complete "Death Touching Sword of God's Will".

Being wanted by the imperial court and being on the black list, how could there be such benefits?
Chu Xisheng felt that there was something wrong with the system, as if it was trying to lure him into the path of rebellion?
