Chapter 198: Winning Over

After deciding what to do, Li Qi started to act.

First, he put the sleeping rabbit aside.

The rabbit didn't wake up.

Li Qi's evil thoughts were strong.

There was something he wanted to do for a long time.

So, he put his hand on the rabbit's tail.

He pulled it.

Wow, the rabbit's tail can be pulled so long!

Li Qi was satisfied, and his evil thoughts dissipated.

Then, he put these things aside and went to work.

He first arranged the covenant.

He could only arrange the sacrifice of the covenant manually, because Shen Shuibi's array plate could only call Li Qi, and had no other functions. It could only be regarded as a waste with high technical content, and at most had some collection value.

Of course, Li Qi must have put it away.

After the covenant was arranged, he called someone in the distance.

Then Li Qi carried Shen Shuibi out of the door.

Just after coming out of the secret room, two guards outside were startled and rushed over.

The blade in his hand cut a series of cold air, and these guards didn't even know "Who are you? ' Without asking, they killed Li Qi directly.

This is the core of the Lower Nine Gates, and the Horse King is among them. If a stranger appears here, then he should be killed without mercy, and there is no room for discussion.

But Li Qi certainly knew it, so he took out a jade pendant and shook it.

The guard immediately withdrew his hand, and was in doubt.

This is a sign from the Horse King himself. Seeing the sign is like the Horse King coming in person, and only the most core confidants will have it.

Who is this person? Why have they never seen him before?

However, although they were suspicious, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted silently.

"Don't reveal my existence, prepare a carriage, send me to the grain alliance owner, and tell the outside world that the Horse King is traveling." Li Qi said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" The two agreed and then retreated.

After a while, everything was ready, and Li Qi took a carriage and rushed to the manor where Wang Baiyan was.

Along the way, except for the core people of the Lower Nine Gates, no one saw Li Qi.

The gods' avatars have physical bodies, so there is no need to worry about them, but their fighting power is relatively weak.

The fighting power of Li Qi's avatar is roughly the same as when he was a boatman.

Because it is a avatar, there is no equipment, no blessing of the human body, and martial arts cultivation is also in the flesh.

Therefore, he can only fight with temporary incense, which is almost the same as mortals.

But now, he doesn't need to fight.

Only chess pieces need to go up to fight, and chess players only need to sit by the chessboard and drink tea.

When there are not enough chess pieces, chess players will go down to the field to be chess pieces, but that will be a loss of face.

Li Qi is not afraid of losing face, but it is easier for him to maintain a relatively high level now.

After a while, Li Qi finally met Wang Boyan while holding the sleeping rabbit.

This is the secret room in Wang Boyan's manor, but although it is a secret room, it is also decorated quite luxuriously.

There are books, pens and inkstones on the table, and miscellaneous stationery items.

The walls are made of Zhaoshi, which is hard, clean and smooth, and the edges are inlaid with sandalwood.

There is a large tank made of transparent glass in the house, where goldfish and waterweed are raised. It can make you forget the summer heat.

Li Qi looked around and saw many runes. It seems that there is also a formation here, but Li Qi can't understand it very well. It is not any type of formation he has ever come into contact with.

While Li Qi was still observing the room, Wang Boyan pushed open the door.

"Ah, Brother Li!" Wang Boyan was full of joy and sincerity, and walked over quickly: "It's great that you are okay! That monk--"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Qi put the sleeping rabbit on the table and punched him!

Wang Boyan did not dodge, and was hit in the face by Li Qi's punch, and hit the wall with a bang.

Li Qi's temporary golden body was partially disintegrated by the recoil force.

Wang Boyan rubbed his nose and was basically unscathed.

He climbed up from the wall with a wry smile: "Why bother, Brother Li, aren't we good brothers who live and die together?"

Li Qi, on the other hand, waved his hands, used the incense to complete his golden body, and sneered: "Live and die together, or you go knock on the door of the pagoda now, and we can have a heart-to-heart talk with the monk together? That's what it means to live and die together, right?"

"Hahaha, that's not necessary. If I go in, who will help Brother Li to allocate the resources of the Tang Kingdom? Right?" Wang Baiyan stood up, walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying with a smile.

As he spoke, he opened his folding fan, fanned himself, and said lightly: "Besides, you can't blame me for this, right? What I said is all true, not a single word is false, and I have never lied to you."

"Even if some of it is not true, it's because I don't know it myself. I was deceived by that monk. How can it be blamed on me?"

This is true. From the beginning to the end, from Wang Boyan's point of view, he never told Li Qi a lie. Even if some of the words were false, it was because Wang Boyan himself was deceived.

"Halfway through the words is a bigger problem than telling lies." Li Qi said coldly.

Wang Boyan replied innocently: "But Brother Li, you were not deceived, right? You neither destroyed the Shanshui formation nor broke up with the Guangyang government. Even after returning to the White Rhino Army, you did not use more radical methods to stop the blood sacrifice."

"If I were you, after recognizing the monk's location and situation, I would definitely not put myself in danger to protect the victims. Instead, I would decisively activate the Shanshui Formation and confront him. In this way, I would not be able to protect the victims. Are you concerned about your own safety?”

"I must have guessed right, right? Brother Li must have had a back-up plan in that landscape array, and he has been able to use it for his own use, right? I calculated the time, you only need more than two hours You can rush back to Zhenguan from Guangyang, but you actually walked for more than three hours. You couldn't have been sleeping in the middle, right?"

"But what's the reality? Brother Li, you didn't touch the landscape formation at all. Instead, you simply followed the monk. I was also surprised when I learned about this. It turns out that from the beginning to the end, Brother Li, you were half a character. You don’t believe me either.”

Li Qi shook his head and said in a bad tone: "If the Shanshui Formation had been activated at that time, wouldn't it have fallen into your trap? I'm afraid that you would have colluded with the Sky-Devouring Demon Nest to launch an attack and take the opportunity to encroach on Guangyang. ?”

Hearing this, Wang Baiyan chuckled lightly, without comment, and did not continue on this topic.

He continued to comment on Li Qi's actions: "What's more, what I didn't expect is that you actually had a backhand in Guangyang City. The woman before took over the position of King of Horses in half a day. Next, they negotiated with me and found a way to rescue Brother Li from the monk. "

"Everything is connected, and there are backhands everywhere. Brother Li has a deep thought and a profound strategy. I really admire him. He is worthy of being a high disciple of Wushen Mountain. He came to me again after getting out of trouble this time. I wonder what Brother Li thinks? "

He complimented him, revealed what Li Qi had mentioned about him, and then brought the topic to the point.

If Li Qi still holds on to those things, it would seem that Li Qi is unreasonable.

Of course, Li Qi could also see these little tricks in words.

But he was too lazy to deal with it. It was not for the purpose of raising an army to investigate the crime. That was what happened after the incident was over, so he simply went straight to the topic: "I don't count on the seventh grade. You probably won't be able to bring it out in Baiyue. Two An eighth-grade warrior, at least two with eight-grade combat power, will appear in front of me within a month. Is that okay?"

Wang Baiyan put away his playful smile, put away the folding fan with a snap, and frowned: "What are you going to do? You don't want to challenge that monk with the eighth grade, do you? Are you looking for death? A hundred eighth grades can only be achieved together. It’s a dead end, do you think Qipin is so easy to get along with?”

"Of course not. I know better than you what the power of the seventh grade is. I have other uses and will not be sent to the frontal battlefield." Li Qi said.

Wang Baiyan looked serious and asked: "What are you doing with so many lies? Since you have escaped, why didn't you ask for help from Wushen Mountain instead of coming to me, a human being? This is simply inexplicable. You are now informing you of Wushenshan Although Monk Zenzhi is powerful, he cannot challenge a powerful person at the level of a king. It is not difficult to expel him. "

"You are a direct disciple of Wushen Mountain, can't you even call someone over?"

Wang Baiyan was very confused about Li Qi's attitude.

What is the concept of a direct disciple of Wushenshan?

There may not be many found in the entire world. The number is definitely within a thousand, but no one knows the specific number.

These people are all called "Master of Wushenshan" to the outside world, which means that their master is a senior level of Wushenshan above the third level, and the future goal of these proud men is their master.

Even if they are only ninth-grade, their status is equal to that of fifth-grade.

As the son of an aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Baiyan knew in his heart that there were similar proud men in the Tang Dynasty who could compete with him.

That is the Taiyuan College students and the Human Emperor Lang Wei, both of whom are top geniuses.

There are official schools all over the Tang Dynasty. People in the village go to the county school. Students in the county school can study to a higher level. Level by level, they pass assessments and recommendations along the way. In the end, countless people are screened out. Due to competition among people, only a few dozen students can join Taixue for further study every ten years.

This is the selection of the literary lineage.

The Human Emperor Lang Wei is a member of the martial arts lineage. The greatest honor for a young martial artist is to be selected into the Lang Wei, guard the palace, and become the personal guard of the Human Emperor. Under the guidance of many internal masters, he is a Lang Wei internally and a Lang Wei externally. Will.

The Witch God Mountain is relatively rough. They have no systematic selection methods in this regard. Most of the great wizards accept disciples according to their mood, but those who can enter the eyes of the great wizards cannot really be mediocre.

This shows the difference between the two parties. The shamanistic way is loose and adaptable, following nature and things, while the humanistic way has a well-organized system and strict legal principles.

Li Qi never told the public about his identity, but Wang Baiyan knew it because he derived it from the reaction of monk Zenzhi.

After making a guess and looking for evidence, Wang Baiyan quickly followed the traces and found Qingwu City.

Referring to the amount of secret knowledge and skills in the hands of the woman under his command, and also learning that Li Qi blocked the attack of the Green Mountain God in front of Qingwu City.

By combining the three aspects, he finally confirmed Li Qi's identity.

Although Li Qi didn't tell him, Wang Baiyan could figure out the clues by himself.

Being able to do so many unbelievable things, if you are not the master of Wushen Mountain, your status will not be much lower.

After hearing this, Li Qi took a look instead.

Wang Baiyan knows a lot.

But it's normal. This person should have some status in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would be impossible to preside over the overall situation with a ninth-grade cultivation level, and he could even mobilize the eighth-grade combat power to do his bidding.

He transferred the eighth rank from Tang State, so the trick is obvious.

However, Li Qi still explained: "It is precisely because I am a disciple of Wushen Mountain that I cannot order strong men to come at will, otherwise, what will I become?"

"The matter of Zen wisdom started with me, so it is naturally best to end with me."

Wang Boyan was shocked: "Brother Li!? Do you really want to touch the seventh rank?!"

"The son of a rich man should not sit in the hall, why bother to fight?! The ability of the ninth rank to fight the eighth rank is already a genius, and fighting the seventh rank, there is no precedent in the world!"

Li Qi shook his head: "If I can defeat the seventh rank with the ninth rank, then what do you think I will do?"

Li Qi said it easily, but Wang Boyan was not calm when he heard this.

He understood what Li Qi meant.

This gave him a shock, and he stood up, unable to suppress his cultivation. He saw the floor tiles under his feet cracking, all shattered by the overflowing Qi.

"Don't be so surprised, Brother Wang, do you want to add your name to this achievement? A child of a Tang family, coming to the Baiyue territory at a young age, can't be here to retire, right?"

"I see you plotting against me, plotting against the Guangyang governor, mediating between the monk Chanzhi and the local forces for profit, and even daring to plot against the external invasion of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Nest. You don't have the courage to do this, do you?" Li Qi asked with a smile.

Wang Baiyan took a deep breath.

To be honest, he hesitated.

He had been mediating everywhere, but he had never really entered the scene. The power of the Wang family could protect him. As a young master of a family, he had multiple eighth-grade combat forces under him, and some hidden things that could basically protect his life in the hands of the seventh-grade.

But it was limited to protecting his life. The treasure at the bottom of the box was used to buy him time to escape. It was impossible to really confront the seventh-grade head-on.

As for stronger treasures, there were some in the family, but he couldn't use them even if he was given them.

The ninth-grade could drive the seventh-grade magic weapon, which was already the limit. Although some treasures did not require cultivation to use, the Wang family could not afford such things even if they were sold, let alone give them to him.

Therefore, his trump card could only save his life.

If he intervened, although his life would not be in danger, he might ruin all the plates he operated in Guangyang.

Moreover, Monk Chanzhi was not actually a seventh-grade monk. He also had the puppet of Guangyang Situ in his hand, which meant that he was actually the combat power of two seventh-grade monks.

If he really had to clash head-on with this monk...

Wang Baiyan could only say that he could not find any chance of winning at all.

But that was himself.

It was he who could not find any chance of winning.

And the mysterious man in front of him was the son of Wushen Mountain.

Can he?

Can't he? No matter how famous he is, can he cross the huge gap between the ninth rank and the seventh rank?

Moreover, that monk Chanzhi is not just a seventh rank found on the street, but has the orthodox inheritance of Mahakala. His strength is definitely top among the seventh rank. Even Guangyang Sima, who is also a seventh rank, was devoured by him and reduced to a puppet.

How many puppets does he have after he eats his heart?

Wang Baiyan was sweating all over his head, hesitating in place, unable to make a decision.

He didn't have the courage to challenge a top seventh rank, but he was reluctant to give up.

If he gave up, he might not find another young master of Wushen Mountain who was willing to work with him in this life.
