Chapter 418 Skin Lacking Wisdom
The visitor was none other than Zhu Wuji.
Zhu Wuyao raised his hand to rub his forehead, feeling that this kid's IQ was indeed not high. Although this was the residence of the Juque Sect disciples, Elder Liao was not far away.
Who knows, a quick scan with one's divine sense might reveal that the two are "plotting".
She pretended to get up and pace around, then stopped at the window and gazed into the distance. Through telepathy, she re-arranged a meeting place with Zhu Wuji.
night.
On the barren mountain.
Zhu Wuyao arrived a little earlier and set up array flags and barriers around the area, striving to prevent even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy from spreading out.
She is still disguised as Qianxiang, impersonating Wu Guihong.
Before long, Zhu Wuji appeared.
He knew that the Juque Sect had a past feud with Zhu Wuyao, so he had no doubts and assumed that Wu Guihong had asked him to meet in order to find out about Zhu Wuyao.
Since we share the same goal, we are friends!
As long as it harms Zhu Wuyao, Zhu Wuji is happy to do it.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the barrier, stood before "Wu Guihong," and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Senior Wu is indeed cautious."
The surrounding layout alone gives one a great sense of security; a secret plot here will certainly go unnoticed by others.
Zhu Wuji knew that although Wu Guihong's cultivation was higher than his own, he now needed his help.
While he was harming others, he couldn't help but wonder if he could use the information he had to gain some benefits and negotiate a deal.
Thinking this way, Zhu Wuji felt even more confident.
He abandoned his usual somewhat gloomy demeanor, a hint of fervor appearing in his eyes, and said confidently:
"Senior Wu also wants to deal with Zhu Wuyao, right? I have some information about her, especially about her life before she entered the Dao. No one in the world knows more about her than me."
Zhu Wuyao chuckled inwardly. So, he's putting on airs now?
She nodded solemnly and said:
"Indeed, he has such a plan. This person is extremely arrogant and dares to massacre my Juque Sect cultivators in the far south."
"They actually don't take my Juque Sect seriously at all!"
That's right, that's exactly what Zhu Wuyao thought.
Zhu Wuji had an "I knew it" look on his face, which made him look particularly foolish.
This gave Zhu Wuyao a bit of a headache.
After you take over his identity, will you also frequently put on such a stupid act?
Why can't he just be a decent person...?
"Senior Wu is absolutely right. This person has no respect for hierarchy. In my opinion, she should be ground to dust and her soul imprisoned in a magical artifact to be tortured day and night. Only in this way can we vent our hatred!"
"It'll allow her to contribute something in her remaining years!"
Good method.
Zhu Wuyao nodded, seemingly in complete agreement.
She had other important business on this trip. Although Zhu Wuji was foolish, he paid special attention to her news and might know some secret information.
Although you can search a person's soul after they are killed.
However, forcibly decoding data packets can cause information loss, and some key points may be missed.
Zhu Wuyao bluntly stated:
"Enough with the small talk. What do you know, and what do you want?"
"Senior Wu is so generous! You are a Golden Core stage expert, and even a little bit of your knowledge is enough for a Foundation Establishment stage junior like me!"
Zhu Wuji's lips suddenly curled up, but realizing he was being somewhat unsteady, he quickly suppressed his smile, trying to appear calm and composed.
Even more stupid...
Zhu Wuyao carefully observed his expression.
The more I observed, the bleak the future seemed.
She is now impersonating Wu Guihong. Although Wu Guihong is a scoundrel, at least he is cunning and doesn't look like a fool.
Afterwards, she is to replace Zhu Wuji and go to Qingyun Sect. Does she have to change into such a lacking-intelligence skin?
Fortunately, Zhu Wuji shared the same bloodline as her.
While he might not be described as exceptionally handsome or unparalleled, he certainly has well-proportioned features, with a nose and eyes that are clearly defined.
Zhu Wuyao tried hard to find some good points in him.
Zhu Wuji, completely unaware, continued speaking:
"Senior Wu, I only need one thousand spirit stones!"
...?
Zhu Wuyao felt her own worth had been insulted. She looked up at Zhu Wuji in disbelief and asked:
"How many?"
That's really asking for a lion's share of the spoils.
She was prepared to engage in a few rounds of back-and-forth with Zhu Wuji, so as not to arouse his suspicion.
But Zhu Wuji actually asked for a thousand.
How could she possibly negotiate a lower price?
The price will have to be reduced to three figures if you haggle any further.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao looked at him with a hint of pity; he had never seen anything good before.
Zhu Wuji quickly said:
"Senior Wu, how about nine hundred and fifty... I really can't go any lower..."
He repeatedly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, which, while foolish, also seemed to reveal a tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Zhu Wuyao sneered and said:
“I will give you a thousand spirit stones, but if you have concealed anything or lied, you will have to return all of these thousand spirit stones to me with interest.”
"Yes Yes……"
After being reprimanded, Zhu Wuji dared not say anything more and quickly told the truth about what he knew. He did not hide anything, as he was eager for Wu Guihong to kill Zhu Wuji.
"That girl was unremarkable when she was in the Zhu family. Although she was clever, she couldn't compare to the dragons and phoenixes among us. The rumors in the cultivation world don't seem like something she could do. It's possible that she was possessed."
"This point alone is not enough to prove anything."
"It is said that her parents accidentally entered a secret realm, took some things, but could only wander around the perimeter. They may have accidentally triggered a mechanism, which is why they died."
"It was at that time that Elder Qian sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy and discovered the secret realm."
"Perhaps he discovered something, because ever since then, I've always felt that Elder Qian is very concerned about Zhu Wuyao's whereabouts when I go out."
Zhu Wuyao interrupted:
"A secret realm? Elder Qian went in?"
Zhu Wuji shook his head and said:
"Not only Elder Qian couldn't get in, but it seems that the other cultivators of Qingyun Sect also couldn't get in. It's said that... if they forcefully break through the barrier by suppressing their cultivation, everything inside will be destroyed."
"Therefore, the matter was put on hold."
"Elder Qian probably searched the outer perimeter and found that he could not go any further, so he reported the existence of the secret realm to the sect."
It seems that Elder Qian deduced something from the clues on the outskirts of the secret realm.
He was seriously injured when he forcibly opened the secret realm.
This led them to realize that the Zhu couple had taken an item from the secret realm and given it to Zhu Wuyao. The item that was taken might be the key to opening the secret realm.
Zhu Wuyao fell into deep thought.
What kind of clues lie on the outskirts of the secret realm that would lead Elder Qian to believe that Zhu Wuyao's soul has been replaced?
Could it be that the entire secret realm was a formation set up by some evil cultivator in order to revive himself?
As a result, the evil cultivator's preparations for seizing another's body and being reborn were intercepted by himself.
Zhu Wuji continued:
"Oh right, it seems that Qingyun Sect is going to explore the secret realm again recently, and Elder Qian will be leading the team."
"I heard that they want to select the top ten disciples from the sword-training platform to go and train with them."
Zhu Wuji also wanted to seize this opportunity. Before being summoned to see Elder Liao, he waited in line in front of the sword-training platform to enter the sword-testing illusion.
