747 Brazen sCheatings (2/2)
Prospective Dharmakaya masters either could not maintain their strength for long or possessed a flaw in being not agile enough. Under the circumstances whereby there were no genuine Dharmakaya masters around, one would not be able to kill even with dozens of such masters around unless one could accurately siege his enemy. Otherwise, it would be all too easy for such masters to be manipulated and beaten up. The more this was allowed to continue, the more dangerous it would be. Thus, ”they” might be able to take advantage of the crisis on a Dharmakaya battlefield or get involved. However, in an open confrontation, it was only a matter of time before they suffered a defeat.
Even so, it was more than enough for the weapons to safeguard the sects and families.
Meng Qi nodded but then suddenly frowned ”If a Dharmakaya master teamed up with the evil spirits of the Nine Evil Paths equipped with divine weapons, inside information, as well as grandmasters from the Southern Wilderness, grassland, and the West Regions, and tried to besiege a top power, would they be able to rapidly break into the latter?”
When it came to Dharmakaya battles, flexibility was an aspect that could not be neglected. That was where its intrinsic difference from regular battles could be seen.
Dharmakaya masters could basically penetrate the void while traveling. It was incredibly easy for them to kill scattered grandmasters one by one. This was also the reason why the grassland tribes going down south did not cause too much of a destruction. However, when an opponent Dharmakaya had the upper hand, the circumstances would be entirely different. It was to the extent that the grandmasters of South Jin Dynasty and North Zhou Dynasty would not dare to show themselves—they could only guard themselves!
Ye Yuqi contemplated Meng Qi's question before replying, ”There's a certain possibility of that happening.”
Prospective Dharmakaya masters, no matter how strong they were, were nonetheless not genuine Dharmakaya masters. The sects and aristocratic families, except those in the flourishing ones, would not be able to resist so many strong enemies.
Suddenly, Ye Yuqi detected the faulty wording in Meng Qi's question. ”A Dharmakaya master, you say? What about the other one?”
”Naturally, he'd be ambushing the reinforcements.” Meng Qi exhaled. The standard siege point would prevent prospective Dharmakaya masters from displaying their expertise and expose their flaws.
”Then, every master can only protect their own sect or family and hope that Gu Erduo can't endure for long. That's the only way a sect or family under attack can soldier on. They can also set up traps and concentrate all their attacks to kill the two Dharmakaya masters.” Ye Yuqi and Meng Qi predicted the worst case scenario.
With this, the core layer of the righteous faction of the Jianghu would suffer a destructive blow and a huge gap in power would emerge!
If the faction was allowed to hide among the sects and aristocratic families, they might invite spies into their ranks.
Ye Yuqi hesitated for a moment before continuing, ”We don't know the exact condition of the Heaven-killing Axe for now and it's hard to say what Gao Lan's stance would be. We lack so much information still, rendering our discussions essentially meaningless. It's a fine line between victory and defeat. We best investigate as soon as possible. However, we know for sure that we must guard against the collusion between the Nine Evil Paths. The evil spirits have received impartation accumulated over many generations and they don't lack ways of concealing themselves among members of the top powers of the world. If it really turns out that all sects and families can only protect themselves, these spies will be the most dangerous factor. We must inform the sects and families immediately and have them find the traitors.”
”If it was so easy to find these traitors, we would've long found them.” Meng Qi thought it over before adding, ”Gu Erduo didn't immediately go down south after the news leaked. That proves that the treaty discussion between the Nine Evil Paths hasn't been completely successful yet. I'm sure he's still recruiting other heretical authorities. We can start with this aspect. Once we find someone to help us from the inside, we might even be able to ruin the treaty discussions.”
With an unchanging expression, Ye Yuqi said, ”I have the same idea. I'm planning to leave for Peijing and request Cao Xianzhi to disguise himself and sneak in.”
The mention of Cao Xianzhi's name triggered Meng Qi to recall something else. His frown turned even deeper. ”When Senior Chong He and I were in Peijing, we discovered that the shamans from the Golden Tent and the Cao family were secretly contacting one another. I wonder if Cao Xianzhi knows about it...”
If the Cao family had been roped in and betrayed the righteous faction at the crucial point, so many top forces in the world would suffer!
There was a slight shift in Ye Yuqi's expression. She exuded dignity as she said, ”Then we must find a way to test him first. But we can't make delays in choosing our own spy...”
She stared into Meng Qi's eyes. ”Why don't you do it yourself while wearing Merciless Tyrant's disguise?”
Ye Yuqi was clear about Merciless Tyrant's death as well as Meng Qi's ability to change his appearance. When she saw Merciless Tyrant appearing on the Black List, she was able to roughly guess what was going on.
Meng Qi smiled bitterly. ”Demoness Gu of the Luo Denomination knows about Merciless Tyrant's identity. The Sect of the Plain Lady would have a good guess as well. Using the Tyrant's ability is essentially serving ourselves up on a platter for them.”
”Serving ourselves up on a platter...” Ye Yuqi could faintly understand what those words meant. She stood in contemplation, planning to come up with a different idea.
Just then, Meng Qi inhaled deeply and said, ”But I can use Merciless Tyrant's identity to come into contact with other heretical authorities. Then, I can use them as my disguises.”
”That's still too dangerous considering your current strength.” Out of nowhere, Master Lu's voice drifted to their ears. ”Should a crisis happen, the hope of the righteous faction must not be extinguished. You're the most promising one of your generation. When the time comes, cultivate in seclusion and slowly plan your scheme.”
Meng Qi was a little touched to hear Master Lu's words. ”How can anyone be spared in such a crisis? Evil Master and Blood Sea Rakshasa bear a grudge against me. Without the protection of several of my seniors, I wouldn't be able to avoid them no matter where I run. Since death is beckoning and there's no way out, then I might as well give it a good try!”
In his head, he calculated the number of enemies he had. Suddenly, a thought struck him. ”Han Guang has rather deep ties with the demonic cult. When the time comes, they might just try to take advantage of the crisis.”
With this, the number of hostile Dharmakaya masters had truly reached an utterly terrifying level!
”If Gao Lan and his Sword of the Human Sovereign join forces with the demonic cult, there'd be a change in his stance. It's also possible that his sword will come closer to an awakening under the pressure of the crisis. Our situation isn't completely hopeless.” Master Lu's voice traveled from a far away place.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Damn it! Could this be the apathetic Gao Lan's goal? To save the world from disaster? Since there's no disaster, then he'll create one just to achieve his goal?” Meng Qi's thoughts were all scrambled up.
Master Lu continued, ”If you had the grandmaster realm to complement your morphing ability, then the danger level of you sneaking into the ranks of the heretics would've been acceptable. But now...”
Ye Yuqi quietly nodded. That was why the first person she thought of was Cao Xianzhi.
Meng Qi grinned. ”Then please excuse me while I go and upgrade my realm.”
The time had come for him to put the Reincarnation Charm to good use. There would be opportunities to obtain another in the future.
This was also the idea that struck him after defeating the Blue Stair Assassin. He would spread news of his strength via the Terrestrial Rankings so as to bait his enemies. Then, he would enter the Apotheosized World to cultivate. He would find another chance to get to the Jade Virtual Palace in the future!
