Chapter 1711: All Acts of Insubordination Are Crimes, Scorning Saints, Emperors, Gods, and Buddhas

"Ligguo Chi Ren!"

Memories are not always smooth, just as beauty never lasts.

Just as the lantern parade began to flash back, A-Si was permanently stuck in the present horror, unable to put up any effective resistance...

He was about to resist.

He moved just now.

He floated up!

The strength of Spatial Mastery lies in the fact that Xu Xiaoshou can now easily create new worlds for himself.

It doesn't matter if the rules of the new world are complete or not.

What matters is that he can use it as a "quasi-exile" to throw himself and A-Si into a new battlefield.

This way, even if Ligguo Chi Ren has a distance limit, it won't affect Fengzhongzui, Beibei, and the other Sacred Mountain refugees he also brought along behind him.

Naturally, with this method, no one among the Five Regions could guess the true attack range of Ligguo Chi Ren.

"He's floating!"

Fengzhongzui and Master Shou were only about ten zhang apart. Looking at the familiar Void Swimming Technique, his face was filled with shock.

He knew that in earlier explanations, he had deduced through Wuyue Jianxian's range limitation that Master Shou's bizarre spiritual skill had a distance limit.

To put it bluntly, anyone sharp-eyed at the time probably saw this point, as there couldn't be a completely unsolvable spiritual skill.

And the range of Master Shou's spiritual skill was at most one li!

But now, looking at it...

"We're all around Master Shou, Master Shou is right in front of me, this person moved, he floated up, but I also moved, and nothing happened to me!"

Fengzhongzui was gesticulating behind the mirror, only remembering at the end that the Five Regions couldn't see him this way.

He turned the mirror towards the Sacred Mountain Refugee Group beside him.

The refugee group, originally stiff as puppets, all knew the power of "Ligguo Chi Ren."

And different people had different ways of dealing with it.

Some saw that this spiritual skill was similar to Elder Yan's light rhythm, so staying still would be fine.

But when the Transmission Mirror turned around...

Someone subconsciously raised their chin to reveal their profile, some puffed out their chests, and others smoothed their bangs.

"Look! Everyone moved!"

"One by one, they preen... er, anyway, nothing happened!"

Fengzhongzui was startled by several murderous gazes and immediately told himself again that words cause trouble, and he must pay attention to his vocabulary in the future.

The distance range limit was gone!

It was at this moment that everyone, including the Sacred Mountain Refugee Group and spectators from all over the Five Regions, belatedly realized that the previously deduced methods for dealing with Master Shou's spiritual skill could no longer work!

"Heavenly Ladder Emissary..."

Fang Wenxin didn't even know the emissary's specific name, yet he had already been captured by Xu Xiaoshou.

The Heavenly Ladder Emissary didn't look like a Jinpao Ren from the Judicial Department, and he was also a Half-Saint.

This was the key.

Among the Five Great Saint Emperor Clans, those who could reach Half-Saint status should be exceptional in their abilities.

After all, in a sense, the number of Half-Saint positions is limited, and the competition in the Saint Emperor's Secret Realm should be even more fierce.

All signs indicated that this nameless emissary should not be a very weak Half-Saint.

But he was still no match for Xu Xiaoshou!

"Should I save him?"

"No, it should be, do I have the ability to save him?"

Fang Wenxin felt bitter in his heart. Currently, he still couldn't see through Xu Xiaoshou's bizarre spiritual skill, so how could he save anyone?

If he truly rushed forward, he couldn't even break through Master Shou's defense; he would only be adding another head to the tally!

"Ai Cang Sheng, I'm giving you a chance. Right now, I don't know anything. Stop your arrow, and I'll release him."

"Let's put aside the matter of the Ancestral Tree for now. Just consider it a bet between us. If I lose later, what then if I return the tree to you?"

His intuition told him that this guy in his hand was very valuable.

From his conversation with Fang Wenxin, it could be seen that he didn't have much reverence for the "Saint Emperor's Golden Edict."

You should know that on Void Island, when Jiang Buyi merely took out a scroll of Half-Saint Xuanzhi, it was treated with extreme solemnity.

As for Qin Duan, Qiu Gu, and others, they couldn't even produce one more scroll of Half-Saint Xuanzhi until their deaths.

The Saint Emperor's Golden Edict was a level higher than the Half-Saint Xuanzhi and should be taken more seriously.

At that time, Ba Zun'an used the Saint Emperor's Golden Edict to summon Void Island. Even though Xu Xiaoshou was in the deep sea, he heard Old Eight's voice:

"The Saint Secret Buried World for thousands of years, I cross the past with my blood."

"Generations replaced me, Ba Zun'an, I summon divine light with my command!"

Thinking back now, Xu Xiaoshou still held reverence for the Saint Emperor's Golden Edict, as this thing could summon Void Island.

It was also due to these two shouts from the Saint Emperor's Golden Edict that the Saint Slaves launched their first attack, severely crippling the Saint God Temple side, slaying several Saints and sealing several others.

Only then did they truly set up the chessboard, giving the Saint Slaves just enough qualifications to "contend equally" with the Saint God Temple.

But this person in front of him gave the Saint Emperor's Golden Edict casually, and his tone was also condescending, clearly a member of a Saint Emperor Clan with high status who often had access to high-grade items like the Saint Emperor's Golden Edict.

Perhaps he was the Saint Emperor's bedmate!

Perhaps capturing him would draw out the Saint Emperor!

Even after witnessing the fall of Mangze Saint Emperor and the humility of Fengtian Saint Emperor in the Divine Relic, Xu Xiaoshou would not be arrogant enough to underestimate the other four Saint Emperors.

After all, those could be considered "accidents."

And the Saint God Continent was the backyard of these Saint Emperors.

The problem was also at this moment: Xu Xiaoshou didn't want to provoke the people of the Five Great Saint Emperor Clans any further; he wanted to proceed gradually, step by step.

If he could use this unknown person in front of him—no matter who he was, as long as his face could exchange for two Ancestral Trees, even if only temporarily.

Xu Xiaoshou felt it was a very good deal!

"Boom—"

From afar, the lingering sound of the Evil Sin Bow's arrow paused slightly.

It seemed that the person he didn't know, Ai Cang Sheng, seemed to know.

Judging by his hesitation to fire the arrow, the identity of the person in his hand was more important than he had imagined.

"Xu Xiaoshou, stop being curious!"

Xu Xiaoshou constantly warned himself that although the Heavenly Human Five Decays were gone, there might still be residual guidance from the Blood World Pearl.

Curiosity kills the cat. Sometimes, not trying to understand a captive is safer than trying to understand them.

Because perhaps he would find it hard to curb the surging interest after understanding, and this would lead to more trouble.

The dilemma was now in Ai Cang Sheng's hands.

It wasn't a matter of whether he would give him face or not.

Rather, it was, would you, Emperor Cang Sheng, under such a threat, only consider your own feelings, or would you give face to the Saint Emperor Clan?

"Ai Cang Sheng!"

In the Southern Region, the Transmission Mirror stood not far away. Zhong Yuanzi looked at the person Xu Xiaoshou was holding in the image and was shocked.

He knew that his current reaction would also be captured by the Transmission Mirror and seen by Xu Xiaoshou.

But he still couldn't hold back his shock and sent a Saint's thought transmission into another space, throwing it to Ai Cang Sheng, saying:

"A-Si is the shadow of Yue Gongli..."

"I know."

In the wheelchair, Ai Cang Sheng interrupted Zhong Yuanzi, because he didn't know if Xu Xiaoshou could intercept the transmission across two regions.

This guy was too bizarre!

As for A-Si, Zhong Yuanzi knew, and Ai Cang Sheng also knew a little.

Unlike other members of the Ten-Person Deliberation Group, Ai Cang Sheng was a frequent visitor to the Heavenly Ladder in the early days of serving as the Three Emperors.

He was one of the Ten Venerable Seats.

His strength was extremely powerful.

But in the early days, the Five Great Saint Emperor Clans hadn't changed their usual way of thinking and still believed that the Ten Venerable Seats was just a simple "servant selection competition."

Of course, they wouldn't give such a harsh name.

When inviting Ai Cang Sheng to reside in the Five Great Saint Emperor Secret Realms, they used the title of "Guest Official."

If he accepted the title of Guest Official, then he was truly an obedient dog.

Ai Cang Sheng didn't even politely decline; he always refused directly, but Han Gong Emperor Realm repeatedly refused to change.

Due to Dao Qiongcang's mediation, the relationship on the surface didn't show much deterioration.

And during several visits to Han Gong Emperor Realm, the person responsible for receiving him was A-Si.

A-Si's status was very high; he was the shadow of Yue Gongli, the Saint Emperor's successor in Han Gong Emperor Realm, and more importantly, he was once the shadow of the Han Gong Saint Emperor.

This alone showed the importance Han Gong Emperor Realm placed on him.

Of course, on the other hand, as a shadow, A-Si handled almost 99% of the internal affairs of Han Gong Emperor Realm.

In other words, he knew many secrets.

Could this person fall into Xu Xiaoshou's hands?

No!

From the perspective of the Five Great Saint Emperor Clans, A-Si could even die, but he absolutely couldn't fall into enemy hands.

But that was from the Saint Emperor Clan's perspective, not from Ai Cang Sheng's perspective.

Ai Cang Sheng only protected the Saint God Continent.

All he saw was two World Trees being uprooted by Xu Xiaoshou.

And not long after they were uprooted, the way the Dao rules operated in the Five Regions of the Saint God Continent completely changed.

This meant that, with a high probability, both Ancestral Trees had defected.

Although he still didn't understand why they defected so quickly, Ai Cang Sheng's anger stemmed from Xu Xiaoshou plundering the fortunes of the Five Regions!

But as for A-Si...

His hesitation was mainly due to considering whether A-Si revealing any secrets of Han Gong Emperor Realm in Xu Xiaoshou's hands would affect the current格局 of the Five Regions.

However, the pattern of the Five Regions of the continent had clearly changed repeatedly since Xu Xiaoshou attacked Sacred Mountain.

Now, one A-Si really wouldn't make much difference.

If he exposed secrets, it could only be blamed on Han Gong Emperor Realm's severe lack of protection for its internal secrets.

If he didn't expose secrets, it could only be said that Xu Xiaoshou's ability was still lacking, and Han Gong Emperor Realm was superior.

And what does all this have to do with me, Ai Cang Sheng?

Xu Xiaoshou wishes to defy the heavens, which will harm the Five Regions, and I will stop him.

If the sky above this Heavenly Ladder collapses, it will also harm the Five Regions, and I will also stop it.

Saints view all living beings as straw dogs.

Under the Eye of the Great Dao, all beings are equal.

The most urgent task is not one A-Si, or four A-Yis, but to force Xu Xiaoshou into the Dead Sea, rather than allowing him to run rampant outside!

Boom!!!

A distant angry bowstring reverberated, declaring Ai Cang Sheng's final answer after his hesitation in the Southern Region.

"He didn't agree!" Fengzhongzui roared excitedly:

"As expected, Emperor Cang Sheng is never one to compromise; he's stubborn too!"

"Though Master Shou indeed captured this Half-Saint who seems to be the long-awaited savior of Sacred Mountain, in Emperor Cang Sheng's eyes, he is insignificant—to threaten me with this? No way!"

"I think what Emperor Cang Sheng is thinking now is to use arrows to force Master Shou into the Dead Sea, not to let him dig for treasures everywhere anymore."

"If he doesn't enter, the intensity of these arrows will get higher and higher."

"In the end, if Master Shou really refuses to enter the game, it would be unilaterally tearing up the agreement, and Emperor Cang Sheng will completely erupt in anger, going all out regardless of the consequences."

"At that time..."

Fengzhongzui swallowed, his expression somewhat agitated, "The Five Regions will truly be in danger."

Are you truly feeling danger, or are you looking forward to its arrival... The Five Regions spectators were bewildered by Fengzhongzui's tone, as if he wished for chaos.

The Transmission Mirror, however, was very stable.

Being held hostage and filming Master Shou, Fengzhongzui kept filming Master Shou, rarely changing the subject.

The Evil Sin Bow's arrow shot from outside the sky, Spatial Mastery constantly switching battlefields, and Master Shou's choice was still to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

But at this point...

Everyone also saw it.

On the surface, Master Shou seemed to be burning, killing, and plundering, committing all sorts of evil.

In reality, he truly didn't lead the Evil Sin Bow's arrow into densely populated, prosperous cities.

At most, it would just flash by, scaring Ai Cang Sheng.

But the obedient dog wasn't scared, so he could only take the Evil Sin Bow's arrow and run more towards the uninhabited desert.

Both of them had scruples.

Neither of them wanted to unleash a massacre.

How could two people who clearly had compassionate hearts start killing each other?

It was a battle of the Great Dao! Why the helplessness? Helplessness is a battle of the Great Dao... Fengzhongzui, within the situation yet detached, saw it most clearly.

"Good!"

In the Transmission Mirror's image, Master Shou, holding A-Si's head with one hand, showed a slight anger on his face upon seeing the Evil Sin Bow's arrow:

"Since this person is useless to you, then I won't be polite..."

Just when everyone thought the enraged Master Shou was about to crush the person's head, something unexpected happened.

"Meow"

The furious Master Shou actually meowed in public.

What happened to him?

Fengzhongzui's expression became incredibly terrified, more terrifying than the appearance of the Heavenly Human Five Decays.

Was Master Shou also controlled?

It was rare for the hunter to be pecked by the goose, but in this world, who could control Master Shou?

"Is the unfathomable Dao Palace Master back?"

Fengzhongzui could only think of this, letting out a surprised cry.

Soon he noticed something was wrong. After the meow, Master Shou's form changed.

Three blood-red lines appeared vertically on his forehead, and nine fluffy white tails quickly swayed behind him.

"Ghost Beast Transformation!"

At this instant, dead memories revived, and Fengzhongzui recalled the scene of the Nine-Tailed Giant above Yujing City.

However, Master Shou didn't turn into a giant now, but instead summoned the Ghost Beast Greedy God to possess him in human form.

"What does he want to do?"

The answer was quickly revealed.

Seeing Master Shou in his Ghost Beast Transformation state, his Spatial Mastery still constantly switching battlefields, he closed his eyes and then opened them again...

The cat's vertical pupils actually split into three slowly rotating gray floral patterns!

Fengzhongzui's head twitched; he was almost horrified.

"Three Aversion Eyes!"

"The Three Aversion Eyes of the Heavenly Human Five Decays!"

"Those Three Aversion Eyes that could rigidly control Half-Saint Qin Duan and Qiu Gu from beginning to end... Master Shou has them too?"

After calming down, Fengzhongzui saw more.

For example, why did Master Shou need to activate his Ghost Beast Transformation before opening the Three Aversion Eyes?

Against a mere Half-Saint who was already captured, why did Master Shou go to the extra trouble of opening the Three Aversion Eyes?

"I know!"

"That's right, the Three Aversion Eyes once appeared on the Ghost Beast Greedy God. After Master Shou contracted the ghost beast, he inherited the power of devouring, and also inherited Greedy God's Lei Family Pupils..."

"Wait, why are the Lei Family Pupils on Greedy God? Is Greedy God's full name 'Lei Greedy God'?"

Fengzhongzui quickly slapped himself, recovering from his frantic emotions, and pointed at the Half-Saint from afar:

"Master Shou probably wants to ask him some questions!"

Yes, the truth was clearly emerging.

Xu Xiaoshou, with the Three Aversion Eyes open, was indeed angered by Ai Cang Sheng's reaction.

He wanted A-Si to reveal something in front of the world. Perhaps A-Si had the answers that the Heavenly Human Five Decays couldn't get!

The effect of Ligguo Chi Ren had long passed.

After A-Si recovered, he looked up and saw the strange pupil with three rotating floral patterns, and his body trembled violently.

Let me die...

A thought of suicide barely flashed through his mind. After a violent tremor, it was as if his soul had been forcibly stripped away.

Boom!!!

The Evil Sin Bow's arrow accelerated.

But Xu Xiaoshou's speed in switching battlefields also accelerated.

How could "distance" catch up with "no distance"?

In the lightning-fast life-and-death chase, the Five Regions completely boiled over, their burning gazes all fixed on the relatively static Three Aversion Eyes truth-telling session.

Master Shou appeared very calm.

A-Si also convulsed very peacefully.

"What's your name, meow?"

"A-Si... Yue Gongsi..."

"What is your identity, meow?"

"Han Gong Emperor Realm... Han Gong Saint Emperor... Shadow..."

Can this be broadcast?

Can this be broadcast?

Master Shou is meowing again...

Uh, no, this A-Si, how did he actually answer?

If this continues, I'll surely die!

Fengzhongzui's hands began to tremble. He didn't want the Feng family to be annihilated.

But his hands, which he wanted to lower, remained stubbornly raised, the mirror focused tightly. He could only wail:

"Master Shou, please let me go..."

Master Shou Meow, you absolutely must not let Fengzhongzui go!

All the spectators in the Five Regions leaned forward, focused to the extreme at this moment, praying that the always audacious Master Shou would not be defeated this time.

Ai Cang Sheng had already fallen silent.

Perhaps he considered more, but we truly need to know the answers.

Master Shou!

You are the arrogant Master Shou!

If you are only arrogant for a moment, I will look down on you.

If you have the ability to remain arrogant for a lifetime, we will look up to you.

"What is a shadow pig? Master Shou, ask this for me!"

"What is the relationship between Yue Gongsi and Yue Gongli? I want to know!"

"Can you ask if Yue Gongnu is doing well, please? She's so beautiful that one wouldn't dare profane her. I only dared to see her from afar once back then, not even daring to go up and say hello... Ah, damn Ba Zun'an."

Shadow?

Hua Changdeng's shadow, Hua Yuan, has the same identity as the person Yue Gongli mentioned in the Divine Relic?

That's right, the flamboyant old Daoist also mentioned it.

It seems Yue Gongli was once Yue Gongnu's shadow, but later he successfully defied fate and overturned his sister.

"What is a shadow?" Xu Xiaoshou probably understood what a shadow meant; this was asking for the Five Regions.

"Shadow... means 'Saint Emperor's Shadow'... responsible for the Saint Emperor Clan's... internal affairs..."

"Oh? So, you know a lot about Han Gong Emperor Realm, and even the Five Great Saint Emperor Clans, as well as the 'cages' they created for the Five Regions, and Beihuai's 'Ghost Beast Red Clothes' plan, right?"

"Yes..."

"What do you know?"

"I... know... everything..."

He didn't know when.

The Evil Sin Bow's arrow stopped.
