573 Maximum Level Nonsense Talk (1/2)
After successfully taking down Ping Xiwang and her bodyguard, Ping Xiwang did not make any unnecessary resistance.
In fact, when she saw her trusted bodyguard's mind was beaten by the Skybreaker, she accepted her fate with a sigh, retrieved back the already-prepared self-detonate original magical treasure, cast a glance at Wang Wu and thoroughly gave up resistance. After that, she lightly spoke, ”... just kill me.”
Being a high ranking temple nun allowed her to deal with the situation calmly in any situation. Although there seemed to be some power to resist on the scene—In theory, since she was a master of Peak Deity Stage while the opponents were just two Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage, her single glance and breathing could disperse the opponents and force them to withdraw. However, excluding this prejudice, her many years of practical experience told her that these two Jindan level people were actually very powerful, especially the one in front of her. Although this opponent was only in Jindan Stage, she at least also had the strength of more than Peak Deity Stage. Now that she had lost the upper hand, there was no need to continue to resist.
The calmness of Ping Xiwang reduced the trouble for Wang Wu, but it also dimmed her victory. Because Ping Xiwang did not look like a defeated prisoner of war at all. Her tall and high posture, could not be reduced one iota even when she was reduced to a prisoner.
”Just kill me.”
The tone of voice was more like a command rather than a request, and it could be clearly seen that she was serious. If the teachings of Temple of Heaven were not strictly against the suicide, she would've already committed suicide early on.
”Tsk, unexpectedly meet a staunch woman.” Wang Wu was suddenly surprised. The top leadership of the Temple of Heaven was dominated by politicians, and most of the politicians were basically double-dealing opportunists. With this as a background, the action of Ping Xiwang was very unexpected.
”Heh, no need to look at her that high, she's just weighing the pros and cons.”
With that, Moonless' figure quietly appeared. After sending a gentle smile at Wang Wu, she opened her mouth and explained, ”She decides to take the seeking life in death route because she has determined the true identity of Sister Wu's friend, that's all.”
Wang Lu pointed at himself. ”My true identity?”
Moonless said with a smile, ”You're a chaotic creature, are you not?”
”Em…” Wang Lu shook his head. Knowing that his Wang Wu's identity had been revealed, he dismissed his illusion spell. In any case, later on, his opportunity to appear in public would be very rare, so it would not matter if his male identity would not be concealed. If he forgot, he might be treated by people as a chaotic creature.
In fact, since the establishment of Heavenly Earth, there had been no such creatures as ”men” for thousands of years. Even if they were to see Wang Lu, the average person would think that he is a special form of existence—in fact, this country of women did not lack those women with big waist like men.
However, Moonless actually participated in the chaos of the invasion of the chaotic world, so she was very familiar with the chaotic world species. And after seeing Wang Lu several times, she recognized him. However, it seemed that under the influence of Telepathic Finger, the bitter hatred toward the chaotic creature had been put down by her.
”Although Ping Xiwang had no meritorious service in the war, her bodyguard had actually repeatedly made great achievements in the war, thus her understanding of chaotic creatures is still above me. Now that she sees you as a chaotic creature, she knew she only had a dead end.”
Wang Lu said, ”So she wants to demonstrate her sincerity by dying?”
”Yeah, right now she's in a very bad situation, and she could be thrown off her position at any time. If the news that she had a collusion with the chaotic creature were to spread, then she would never be able to make a comeback in the political scene—and as long as she doesn't die today, whether she actually succumbed to the pressure or not, it would not have mattered as she would always be linked with the collusion with the chaotic creature. She would never be able to wash it clean.”
Moonless said, and then chuckled, ”For a person like her, if her political life is over, it is better to die than continue on living. At least, after death, no one could deny everything that she had ever done. The value of this kind of person has been completely tied with her political life, truly incorrigible.”
Wang Lu said, ”Sounds like you are very dissatisfied with the political life?”
”Of course.” Moonless readily admitted it. ”In my opinion, this kind of person is ridiculous, completely 'neglecting the root and pursuing the tip'. Whether it's the Shentian or Chengtian, they're all the same. Even if they become the paramount number one person, so what? Under the glare of public eyes, they must be careful with their every word and every action so as to not make a mistake. They might as well be like me, a vassal lord who has no political future. I can build Moon Capital over the Palace of Heaven, would any one of them dare to do the same? Even the size of their residence has to be curbed. I can keep hundred of harem concubines in the Moon Capital, but if they want to play with women, they have to do it in a sneaky way, unable to openly pursue anything.”
Wang Wu said, ”When you reach the rank of Shentian, isn't there a blessing from the Heaven that makes your strength higher than the original? For example, if you look at Ping Xiwang, her qualification is not as good you, but her power level is actually higher than you.”
”What's the point of being strong base on external force? What cultivator cultivate is itself. And what about Ping Xiwang? If she really fights with me on the battlefield, I'm afraid she is not my opponent. Moreover, in my opinion, the stronger the external force, the bigger the bondage. After the establishment of the Temple of Heaven system, I have never heard of anyone who could pass the divine tribulation and ascend to immortality, this includes all of the Chengtian rank nuns, without exception!”
Wang Lu sized Moonless up with great interest. ”Unexpectedly, you do have your own way of thinking. I just don't know if you have this way of thinking since the very beginning or that you managed to figure it out in the Palace of Heaven after you realized you no longer have the prospect for the future.”
”Humph.”
On the other hand, after Wang Wu listened to the analysis of Moonless, she could not help but lost in thoughts. After thinking for a while, she said, ”We may have some troubles here.”
”Why?”
”Telepathic Finger might not work on Ping Xiwang.” Wang Wu explained, ”The Telepathic Finger is essentially a primordial spirit skill aimed at the weakness of other people's heart. The social structure of this Heavenly Earth is distorted by external force, so most of the creatures are born handicapped. But Ping Xiwang's… obsession is strong enough to overwhelm all of these defects. Take Moonless for example. Despite establishing a harem in Moon Capital and living in debauchery, her heart actually has always been longing for true love; her past lover died in the battlefield. Taking aim at this point, I easily attacked her primordial spirit. As for the others, they are a lot simpler. Most girls are oblivious to the same-sex love in the depths their hearts, distorted by forceful restriction of the social environment. So as long as I can trace it back to their source, I can disintegrate their heart's defense. However, Ping Xiwang's obsession with politics has thoroughly consumed her. To put it more exaggerate-ly, her primordial spirit structure is different from that of ordinary people.”
”Damn, that bad huh?” Wang Lu immediately turned his head and carefully observed Ping Xiwang. She seemed to be a very graceful and elegant woman, and her imposing manner seemed to be quite strong. Unexpectedly, however, her primordial spirit had already turned abnormal.
”Are all the seven Shentian of the Temple of Heaven like this one?”
”It shouldn't be. Her situation is different from that of other people. For other people, if they don't profit from this succession ritual, they would not suffer a loss. But for her, if doesn't move forward, she couldn't afford to retreat, if she does, she might fall into the abyss. So the level of pressure on her is simply not the same compared to that of the other people.”
”In short, since your Telepathic Finger is invalid, how do you plan to deal with this?”
Wang Wu said, ”This is where the problem is. All this time, we have been turning the Heavenly Earth upside down without attracting any attention. With Telepathic Finger, we can precisely arrange what would happen next. But now…”
Wang Lu thought for a moment, and then said, ”I actually have an idea. If you have no other way, let me try it.”
”... What are you going to try? Are you going to use your super weapon to straighten Ping Xiwang's primordial spirit so that she can recall a woman's happiness?”
”If my super weapon is so effective, I will first think of a way to straighten out your worldview.”
”Hehe, I look forward to it.”
Wang Lu frowned, feeling that he clearly had just threatened her, but was instead being taken advantages of by this crazy woman.
