Chapter 389 Form A Team And Prepare To Defeat The Boss
Chapter 389: Team Preparation for Boss Raid
The Funeral Priest of the Snow Mountain God Temple is the most skilled combatant in the temple.
However, his expertise lies not in direct combat, but in first declaring his righteousness before taking action to eliminate his opponents.
He is a charlatan.
Standing on the moral high ground and then striking with a heavy blow.
Upon hearing the declaration of the Funeral Priest, Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh.
You can stand on the moral high ground, but don't cry when you can't come down.
Moreover, the Funeral Priest said this in front of many people, in order to make others lose their competitiveness.
Even if someone from the Eastern Sovereign Palace comes, they still can't compare to the Snow Mountain God Temple.
The Eastern Sovereign Palace did send people to participate in the Celestial Melody Festival, and some of them died in the Celestial Melody Pavilion. However, the representative of the Eastern Sovereign Palace is just a low-ranking official responsible for diplomacy, and his status is not high.
At least, far inferior to the Divine Child of the Snow Mountain God Temple.
The Snow Mountain God Temple has the justification to punish the murderer in the name of blasphemy. Do they need a better reason?
Dongfang Wenli hurriedly arrived and frowned upon hearing the words of the Funeral Priest.
The people of the Snow Mountain God Temple are too sinister, and the Eastern Sovereign Palace doesn't have a good way to deal with them using such a simple and plain strategy.
The Eastern Sovereign Palace has always been wary of the Snow Mountain God Temple. This force is too ancient, even though it has declined now, the Eastern Sovereign Palace doesn't dare to provoke them openly, even though the Eastern Sovereign Palace's strength is far superior to the Snow Mountain God Temple.
"Master Zhen Shan, I entrust you on behalf of the Western State Alliance to find the mastermind behind the chaos in the Coiling Dragon River. This person cruelly killed many cultivators of our Western State Alliance, and blood debts must be repaid with blood.
This is my first meeting with the master, please accept this small gift."
Dongfang Wenli also had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of using the name of the alliance to suppress the Snow Mountain God Temple.
If he acted in the name of the Eastern Sovereign Palace, it would be an enemy of the Snow Mountain God Temple. But if he acted in the name of the Western State Alliance, it would change the situation.
Although the sects of those small forces are not part of the Western State Alliance, they are all affiliated with one of the alliance parties and can naturally be considered cultivators of the Western State Alliance.
Upon seeing Dongfang Wenli's interference, the Funeral Priest felt immediately dissatisfied.
But Dongfang Wenli didn't say anything wrong, leaving her with no way to refute.
She could only attack Dongfang Wenli's act of giving gifts.
"The master said he wouldn't charge any fees, yet you still give gifts. Are you trying to tarnish the master's noble character?"
Dongfang Wenli smiled. Although the Snow Mountain God Temple is cunning, they are ignorant of worldly affairs.
If someone says they don't want something, then you really won't give it?
"This is not a reward, just a gift for our meeting. The Eastern Sovereign Palace hopes to be friends with Master Zhen Shan. The master's sense of justice and benevolence is admirable, and our Dongfang Family greatly admires it."
Look, how nice this person's words are.
The Funeral Priest finally realized that something was wrong and looked at Dongfang Wenli with an unfriendly gaze.
You think you're so outstanding?
Under Zhang Chi's instruction, Zi Mian controlled the puppet and said, "This humble Daoist is only cultivating good karma and cannot be considered a paragon of justice. However, I cannot refuse the hospitality of the Eastern Sovereign Palace, so I will accept it for now. Of course, I never owe anyone any cause and effect. After receiving your gift, I will also provide you with a piece of information. How about that?"
Dongfang Wenli didn't mind the free information, but he certainly wouldn't reject the friendliness shown by Zhen Shan.
"Then I thank the master."
With Dongfang Wenli's status and cultivation, he still addressed Zhen Shan as "master," showing full respect.
However, respect is only superficial. Dongfang Wenli waved his hand, and the accompanying servant delivered the gift to Zhen Shan's room, while quietly activating the Soul Pursuit Law Treasure.
If there are puppet masters, there naturally exist things that counter puppet masters.
The Soul Pursuit item is the nemesis of puppet masters.
To control puppets, a puppet master must leave behind their divine sense. As for mechanical beasts that can act without divine sense, they pose little threat to cultivators.
There must be an unbreakable connection between the puppet master's divine sense and their true body, and the Soul Pursuit technique uses this principle to track them.
Being targeted by this method is one of the reasons why puppet masters have declined.
The true bodies of puppet masters are not particularly strong in combat ability. If they can't even hide themselves, their greatest advantage as puppet masters will no longer exist.
Over time, this technique has fallen into decline.
Wild puppet masters are extremely rare, and they are usually just secondary cultivators who dabble in puppetry for fun and have no profound knowledge of the art.
If they really rely on this as their means of survival, they will most likely fail when they encounter someone who knows how to counter it.
The Law Treasure used by Dongfang Wenli can track puppet masters within a radius of two thousand li, while the control range of an ordinary puppet master is only about five hundred li, with the most powerful ones reaching a thousand li. Being able to track puppet masters within two thousand li is already more than enough.
However...
Why has there been no response even after tracking for so long?
Dongfang Wenli began to suspect that his Law Treasure had been unused for too long and had broken.
Could there be a puppet master with a control range exceeding two thousand li?
If so, it's really terrifying.
The Law Treasure used by Dongfang Wenli, Law Treasure, can trace the peak level of Divine Ability Divine Soul, and there is basically no higher level.
At the level of Dao Integration, it is already a different world. How can a mere Law Treasure glimpse the high-level experts?
But it is well known that after the decline of the puppetry, there will be no puppet masters who can achieve Dao Integration.
In other words, the Law Treasure in Dongfang Wenli's hands is enough to deal with all puppet masters.
So when Dongfang Wenli found that the treasure had no response, he didn't think that the true body of Zhen Shan was two thousand miles away, but that the treasure had malfunctioned.
There are many reasons for the malfunction of the treasure, it may be a problem with the treasure itself, or it may be interfered by something.
In front of Zhen Shan, Dongfang Wenli couldn't check whether the treasure had a problem, and if it was interfered, it also meant that this Zhen Shan was indeed extraordinary.
He could only temporarily treat it as if nothing had happened, and at the same time put away the Law Treasure.
In fact, his treasure is fine, and there is no power interference. Zhang Chi and Zi Mian haven't even noticed that they are being tracked.
Because they are hiding in Xuefeng City thousands of miles away, they are naturally completely ignorant of what is happening here.
Thousands of miles away, Zi Mian's control over puppets is only the most basic abilities, such as walking and talking. If they really fight, they can probably only fight an ordinary person.
But this is not important. The role of puppets is not to fight. They can't beat others, so it's better to let the puppets become completely weak and just focus on deceiving.
Now, the Eastern Sovereign Palace and the Snow Mountain God Temple have both arrived, and there are enough onlookers in Zhuxing City. It's almost time to start spreading rumors.
However, Zhang Chi won't let the onlookers listen.
After inviting the Funeral Priest and Dongfang Wenli in, Zi Mian asked the others to leave.
"This matter is related to everyone in Western State, and theoretically, I shouldn't hide it."
As soon as Zhen Shan spoke, Dongfang Wenli and the Funeral Priest both secretly criticized him.
They wanted to keep the news confidential, and it would be best if the other side didn't know.
But now that Zhen Shan has let the two of them in, it is naturally not good to drive them away.
Mutual restraint is the best choice for Zhang Chi.
Without competition, his situation will become passive, and he may be controlled by either the Eastern Sovereign Palace or the Snow Mountain God Temple.
With competitors, they will be entangled with each other. When the news they release themselves comes out, can they not take it seriously?
"Let's talk about the news sent to the Dongfang Family first. Dongfang Wenli, you should have lost a close relative recently!"
Dongfang Wenli's expression remained unchanged, but he became more guarded in his heart.
The death of Dongfang Changqing is news that many people in Western State know. Zhen Shan suddenly said this, it feels a bit like a trickster.
Of course, before there is solid evidence, he didn't choose to confront Zhen Shan, but said solemnly, "Master is right. My great-grandson was killed some time ago, and the killer has not been found yet."
The Black Emperor Palace did not admit to killing Dongfang Changqing, and even directly attacked Myriad Spirits Cave. Without explaining the situation clearly, they started a war. Naturally, the Eastern Sovereign Palace had to respond, but they did not immediately draw a conclusion.
If they really draw a conclusion, then this war will have to continue.
If there is doubt, it means that there is still a chance for things to turn around, and there can be flexible explanations at that time.
For example, if they can't win, they can say that Dongfang Changqing accidentally drowned, or that he committed suicide.
Anyway, as long as the reasons are plausible, there is also a way out.
In fact, the Eastern Sovereign Palace is still investigating the killer of Dongfang Changqing, but there are too few clues, and it is difficult to find out the truth.
According to Zhen Shan's meaning, does he know who the killer is?
Although Dongfang Wenli wanted to know the truth, he was also afraid that there might be some conspiracy and calculation behind it, so he didn't dare to say too much for a while.
"To tell you the truth, the person who killed your great-grandson may be related to the source of this disaster.
I can see the cause and effect connected to you."
Obviously, this is a bluff.
Zi Mian, of course, couldn't see anything.
But Dongfang Wenli and the Funeral Priest believed it to some extent.
Cultivation is actually a science, but fortune-telling is metaphysics, things that these cultivators can't understand, such as fate and cause and effect.
"Master means that my great-grandson was killed by Zhang Chi?" Dongfang Wenli's heart was overjoyed. Now, the Eastern Sovereign Palace also has a reason to overwhelm the Snow Mountain God Temple.
How important is the Divine Child of the Snow Mountain God Temple compared to a prince of a country?
Moreover, after catching Zhang Chi, they don't have to fight against the Sea Monster Race anymore.
This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
He quickly thought of the fact that Dongfang Changqing had contact with Zhang Chi before his death, which happened to match.
However, Master Zhen Shan said, "It may not be the case, but since I have accepted your gift, I will naturally guide you to find the killer. However, I can feel that the person is very powerful, and perhaps the two of you alone are not his opponents."
Long Yi is already at the Transcending Tribulation Second Layer, and the two Dao Integration may not be enough to fight against the other party.
And Dongfang Wenli was also shocked. Zhang Chi is so strong?
