Coercion and Inducement
Chapter 428: Coercion and Inducement
The Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall felt nervous and was about to go and inform the prefect, but Qin Mu suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, there's no need to let everyone leave."
The Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall was slightly startled. Hu Ling'er and Si Yunxiang immediately understood what Qin Mu meant. Si Yunxiang said, "It's useless to let them leave. The power of the celestial weapon is unleashed, and no one can escape. Even if they run to the capital, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the attack of the celestial weapon. This kind of weapon can instantly reach a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles. If the power is fully unleashed, I'm afraid it can cover the entire Yankang."
The Master of the Hall of All Beasts could not help but feel his hair stand on end.
This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital. Will we still be unable to escape even if we escape tens of thousands of miles?
So what kind of weapon is Xiangjing’s big gourd?
Qin Mu straightened his clothes and walked towards the incense well at a leisurely pace. He was in a hurry just now, but now he was relaxed and whispered, "We can't let the people in the city leave."
Si Yunxiang was slightly stunned.
"The people in the city are the hostages of this god. Let them go. Once the hostages are gone, he will immediately activate the big gourd and bring about a natural disaster!" Qin Mu whispered.
Si Yunxiang couldn't help but shudder and glanced at him.
The power of the celestial weapon was too strong. When it was tested in Granny Si's villa, the power of Zhending was not even one percent of its power, but it injured Master Yankang, the village chief and other masters. Its power spread over hundreds of miles, and the earth shook within hundreds of miles!
Rather than letting the people in the city escape, it is better to let them be at the center of the explosion of the power of celestial weapons, so that even if they die, it will be less painful.
“Ahem!”
He coughed twice, not because he was pretending, but because he was really weak. At this time, a cough was also heard near the incense well, and a voice came along with the cough, sneering while coughing: "Little thing, you chased me here, aren't you afraid that I will activate this Five Thunder Pot?"
"Five Thunder Pot?"
Qin Mu walked towards the incense well, climbed the stairs, and asked Jiao Wangshen and others to follow him. He smiled and said, "Is this treasure called the Five Thunder Pot? May I ask what the five thunders in the Five Thunder Pot are?"
The Dragon King God looked at the yard in front, frowned, and shook his body. Suddenly, his body became smaller and smaller, and turned into a young man in a royal blue robe. His face looked a little ferocious, but he looked good.
Long Qilin also shook a bit, but only shrank his belly, and then popped out again. Hu Ling'er quickly covered her face, ashamed, and said, "Long Pang, don't call me Sister Ling'er anymore, it's so embarrassing..."
The other dragons bared their fangs and claws, screamed "Maha Maha", and swayed back and forth, but none of them changed into human form. Instead, they all shrank their stomachs like the dragon unicorns, and then their stomachs bounced.
"These guys have become a lot fatter since they followed the young master, and their bellies are bulging!"
Hu Ling'er looked at the dragons seriously, thinking, "I should tell the young master to control the food!"
These dragons had never learned how to change their shapes. The Dragon King only raised them for fighting and never thought of taking them as disciples, so he never taught them to speak human language.
Qin Mu led everyone up the stairs and into the yard. The yard was very large, like a large manor. In the center of the yard was the famous incense well in Bauhinia City.
Xiangjing is a famous historical site in Zijing City. It is said that this place was originally a desolate place. A long time ago, a group of refugees came here to avoid being pursued by soldiers. There was no water to drink, and many people died of thirst. So people prayed to the sky, and a miracle happened. The earth rotated and cracked, and a huge deep well appeared. The water in the well was fragrant, so it was called Xiangjing.
There is a large courtyard built outside the incense well, which is strictly guarded by soldiers. There are quite a few people with supernatural powers, three layers inside and three layers outside. At this moment, all these people with supernatural powers are sleeping on the ground, and none of them are awake. It is obvious that the god has done something wrong.
"The five thunders are actually divided according to their directions: east, south, west, north, and center. There are five major thunder clouds."
Qin Mu walked into the yard, only to see that the incense well had disappeared. The big well was stretched and cracked, and a huge gourd emerged from the well. It was not quite a gourd, but more like a gourd made of green jade, about fifty feet high. Various rune marks appeared on it, which looked like clouds but not clouds, like dragons but not dragons, and like thunder but not thunder.
A one-horned man was standing under the gourd. He looked rather disheveled, with wounds all over his body. Several broken bones had pierced his skin and were exposed outside his body. They looked white and quite creepy.
His legs were also broken, one leg was bloody, the bones were shattered, and most of the sole of the foot was rotten.
Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, and asked with concern: "How is your injury, brother?"
"You smashed it, what do you mean?"
The one-horned man glanced at him with displeasure. The injuries on his body were caused by Qin Mu's smashing with the Cangyue, which crippled him to death. He had been chasing him all the way, but now he was hypocritically asking about his injuries.
Qin Mu blushed and smiled apologetically: "A doctor is like a parent. To be honest, I am a medical student and known as a miracle doctor. I am very compassionate and often treat patients and cannot bear to see others get hurt. So when I saw your injury, I couldn't help but feel sympathy. If you can trust me..."
"I can't trust it!"
The one-horned god sneered, "No need to say more. There are five thunderclouds hidden in this Five Thunder Pot. The thunderclouds are not big. At most, they will completely cover the border of Yankang. There are fire bells in the clouds. When the bells ring, the whole country will be buried in thunder! You chased me here, aren't you afraid that I will trigger the Five Thunder Pot?"
Qin Mu stepped forward, held the Five Thunder Pot to rest, and said with a smile: "Why am I not afraid? But if I didn't come to hunt you down, wouldn't you still activate the Five Thunder Pot? Not only would you activate the Five Thunder Pot, I'm afraid you would activate other celestial weapons. The Five Thunder Pot alone would not be enough to kill all the people of Yankang, but if you activated other celestial weapons, that would be a fatal natural disaster. What's your name, brother?"
The one-horned god looked at the young Jiao Wang Shen, and Jiao Wang Shen said, "My lord, he is Bai Xi, the Zero God of Heaven."
"Brother Bai Xi."
Qin Mu said solemnly, "You didn't activate the Five Thunder Pot immediately, so I think there is something to discuss. In that case, why not discuss it?"
The two eyes of the White Gap God were far apart. Although the eyes were small, they were round. He asked, "How do you want to discuss this?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Go to Daxu, turn into a stone statue, and you will survive."
The White Gap God laughed loudly, his voice like a bell, and sneered: "You are just a little devil, and you want me to turn into a stone statue? After all, I am a high and mighty god in heaven. If I reach such an agreement with you, won't I be laughed at by the world?"
Qin Mu refined the Lu Ling Dan to treat himself and replenish his vitality, and said, "Brother, what do you want to discuss?"
"I will activate the Five Thunder Pot, and you will let me go. I will not move the other celestial weapons at all!"
Qin Mu took the elixir and said sickly, "No."
The eyes of the Baixi God suddenly shrank: "Don't force me into a dead end! If I can't complete the task assigned to us by the God, I can't survive. Either let me activate the Five Thunder Pot and let me go, or I will activate the Five Thunder Pot and fight to the death! Even if I die, I can take you with me!"
Qin Mu shook his head and said, "You can't pull any of us."
Bai Xi laughed loudly. Qin Mu took out the True Dragon's Nest and the limbs of the god that he had taken from Xing An. He put these limbs together to form a four-headed, multi-armed god and demon. He said, "Brother Bai Xi, I have plenty of ways to protect myself. I am proficient in teleportation and summoning. This body is what I prepared for an old friend. If you don't make an agreement with me, I will summon him from the Dutian World. Not to mention protecting myself, it will be easy to kill you."
The White Gap God's eyes fell on this patchwork body with four heads and many arms, and his eyes narrowed even more: "Are you kidding me? What gods and demons can you recognize?"
Qin Mu smiled slightly, then took out a bone altar and a wooden statue of a demon god, activated his supernatural power to summon ghosts and gods, and performed a ritual on the altar. After a while, there were gusts of cold wind, demonic energy was surging, and various runes on the wooden statue of the demon god kept lighting up.
The expression of the White Gap God changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Stop! No need to summon, I trust you!"
Qin Mu stopped immediately and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to summon, even if he could contact the Demon King Dutian, the Demon King Dutian might not pay attention to him.
The Demon King Dutian has a heavy responsibility, a heavy burden, and is timid. He has not been in contact with anyone since he last left, and he said that he would never come to this world again.
If the Demon King Dutian knew that hundreds of statues of gods and a large number of celestial weapons with unpredictable powers appeared in Yankang Kingdom, he would dare not show his head.
Qin Mu took down the wooden statue of the devil, placed the body of the devil he had assembled on the altar, and said with a smile, "Can we discuss this?"
The White Gap God had a gloomy expression on his face. He thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "There are old and young people in my heaven. If I fail to complete my mission, my race will surely be exterminated! I must return to heaven and lead them out!"
"My Lord, don't believe him."
The Jiao King God whispered: "He does have a race in the heavens, but he can't go to the heavens whenever he wants, nor can he come down whenever he wants. The heavens have guide priests, and no one can enter or leave without the permission of the guide priests!"
Qin Mu smiled slightly.
The face of the White Gap God changed drastically, and he sneered, "How could the Dragon King raise a traitor like you?"
The Jiao King God sneered and said, "If the Dragon King had not been subdued by the lord, how could I be a traitor?"
The White Gap God was dumbfounded and said in a lost voice: "Did he subdue the Dragon King?"
"Like you, Huanlong Jun was severely injured by me and had to surrender in the end."
Qin Mu smiled gently and said, "I offer him very generous conditions. He will command Yongjiang River and become the Dragon King of Yongjiang River! Every year, the people who jump into the river and die in shipwrecks are his food. The food is absolutely good. Moreover, there are hundreds of Dragon King temples of all sizes on the riverside, all of which are dedicated to him. The Dragon King will enjoy incense and offerings, and his life will be extremely comfortable."
The White Gap God laughed angrily and said, "But you turned me into a stone statue. You really don't deserve to be a good person! Am I worse than that bastard who raised a dragon?"
Qin Mu said sincerely: "Brother Bai Xi, what do you want? Just ask. If I can satisfy you, I will not be stingy. As for opening the Five Thunder Pot, there is no need to talk about it. If you activate the Five Thunder Pot, I will fight you to the death!"
The god Bai Xi hesitated and could not make up his mind.
Qin Mu's eyes flickered as he glanced at the Five Thunder Pot. He was really afraid of this big gourd and tried to test it: "How about this, you wait for a few days. If your God of Heaven wins and activates other celestial weapons, I will turn around and leave, allowing you to activate the Five Thunder Pot. I will return to my Great Ruins, ignore worldly affairs, and allow the true gods to come and destroy the world. If you don't wait for the God of Heaven to activate other celestial weapons in these few days, we will talk again. What do you think?"
The White Gap God gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Okay!"
Qin Mu laughed loudly, coughed a few times, and said breathlessly: "Brother, I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
The White Gap God was surprised and thought to himself, "This kid is really confident that I can stay here... If the other brothers in the Heavenly Palace can activate other celestial weapons, it doesn't matter whether I activate the Five Thunder Pot or not. If they can't activate it, then they are all dead, and it won't be a big deal for me to surrender."
Qin Mu walked out of the courtyard, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, which scared Si Yunxiang and others. His expression changed too quickly.
"Saint Xiang, rule the emperor, and ask the emperor to fire the Sun God Cannon over here!"
Qin Mu said viciously: "Also, I will write down some prescriptions, Saint, help me get the medicine, I want to refine a deadly poison. In addition, let all the masters in the sect who are proficient in the Five Ghosts Moving Technique come over and send the Five Thunder Pot as far as possible!"
Si Yunxiang hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Master, isn't this a bad idea?"
"It's better to be prepared! If we can't come to an agreement, take away the Five Thunder Pot and kill him immediately!"
