Chapter 426
: The Poisonous Scheme to Kill the Weapon Maniac
At the same time, in Wine City, City Lord’s Mansion.
A group of Gu Kings gathered in a hall. One of them slammed the table and said angrily:
"Damn it! We were almost successful, but the Ten Demon Kings suddenly showed up and rescued Qi Chi, causing our operation to fail."
In the conference room, all the Gu Kings present had gloomy faces and the atmosphere was very heavy.
"News from the front: In order to rescue Qi Chi, the ten demon kings launched a rare beast tide. Countless spirit beasts came out of the Red Moon Forest, and the defense line of the Huiyue Empire collapsed. This caused a large number of fourth-level spirit beasts to rush into the heart of the empire and rescue Qi Chi."
"We suffered heavy losses in this battle, but that was also because we were given limited time and the number of Gu Kings that came to support us was not enough. If we were given another year to prepare, even if Qi Chi had the help of the Ten Demon Kings, he would still be wiped out by us."
The person who spoke was Jiu Kang, the Lord of Jiu City, a middle-aged man with a very sturdy appearance. If Long Xuan was present, he would be shocked to find that this person was actually the Jiu Gu King who bought his distilled liquor at the Western Land auction.
"A year of preparation time? You really dare to think so. With the terrifying speed of weapon refining of Qi Chi, let alone a year, I'm afraid it will take only a month for the ten demon kings to have a magic weapon each. What's the point of fighting then?"
"Once the ten demon kings and a large number of fourth-level spirit beasts are equipped with spirit tools, we will not be able to contend with them. The longer the time drags on, the better for the spirit beasts."
"We don't have time to mobilize more Gu Kings. This battle must not be delayed." Deputy City Lord Chashan said in a deep voice.
"Countless spirit beasts have emerged from the Red Moon Forest. It is difficult for our Huiyue Empire to protect ourselves, let alone behead the weapon maniac in a short period of time." He Jiong, the head of the He family, said with a wry smile.
Soon there was a commotion in the meeting room. One side did not want to die and supported waiting for more reinforcements.
One side supported that the weapon-crazy should be killed as quickly as possible at all costs and it should not be given time to refine weapons for the other spirit beasts. The two sides quarreled fiercely for a while.
Finally, Shui Wuqing slammed the table heavily and shouted, "Enough!"
The whole place fell into silence.
Shui Wuqing's combat power is at least ranked in the top ten in Middle-earth, so he should be given face by the powerful.
Seeing that the conference room had finally quieted down, Shui Wuqing continued, "Each hair of the monkey king is equivalent to a clone. When a hair falls to the ground, it will turn into a monkey that looks exactly like him."
"Although their combat power is much weaker than their original bodies, they are stronger in number, and each monkey clone has a strong ability to refine weapons. In a short period of time, the weapons refined by this group of monkeys can arm an army of 100,000. This is the most terrifying thing."
"So we must not give it time to breathe, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"But the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we can't act recklessly. Who among you is willing to sacrifice your life for the greater good of the human race?"
Shui Wuqing's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he said, "This matter can only be solved by wits, not force. If it is really impossible to do so, encircling and suppressing Qi Chi is just a fearless sacrifice, and we are helpless to keep our troops in place."
"Now, does anyone have a good suggestion for killing the weapon idiot? Although, we humans are the most intelligent race, and I believe that human wisdom can accomplish all difficult tasks."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whispering sound was heard from below.
But after discussing for a long time, the Gu Kings still couldn't come up with a good idea. Although wisdom can accomplish all difficult tasks, in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless.
Even if he used a trick, it was not so easy to kill the maniac holding the magical weapon.
Jiu Kang finally lost his patience and suddenly looked at a thin man in the crowd and said, "Brother Zhuge, your Zhuge clan is the most scheming clan." "Every Zhuge Gu cultivator is extremely intelligent and full of conspiracies and tricks, so you should speak. I believe you can come up with a good idea to kill the Qi Chi."
Zhuge Yuan sat on a chair, fanning himself with a confident look. When the city lord called him, he finally put down the fan in his hand and said with a confident smile:
"It's just a spiritual beast with low intelligence. No matter how powerful it is, how can it possibly defeat us humans? I have a hundred ways to kill it!"
"Oh?" Jiu Kang's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said expectantly, "Brother Zhuge, just tell me. If your plan can really kill Qi Chi, then you will be the biggest contributor to this campaign against Qi Chi."
Zhuge Yuan continued to wave the fan in his hand, with a hint of a sinister smile in his eyes, and said with a sinister smile: "How difficult is it to kill it? My method is very simple."
"Spiritual beasts are different from humans. Although they are brutal, most of them value trust and loyalty."
"I have inquired about Qi Chi's deeds. He has a deep affection for his master and his senior sister. It was precisely because of the death of his master and his senior sister that he led a group of 100,000 monkeys to massacre Huiyue City and avenge his dead master and his senior sister."
"Since he values righteousness, it will be easy."
"I heard that the God of the River in the Wine City is about to open. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
"If I remember correctly, the mysterious land of the river god hides one of the eight sacred flowers, the red spider lily. Once this flower blooms, it can bring a person back to life, but the price is to take the life of the person who picks the flower, exchanging life for life."
"If you want to use the red spider lily to revive your loved ones, you can only use your own life in exchange. Using someone else's life is useless."
"We just need to leak the news about the red spider lily, but at the same time hide the information that the red spider lily will kill the person who picks it."
"After hearing about the red spider lily, Qi Chi will definitely run to the He Shen Shen Realm to pick the red spider lily in order to revive his master and sister."
"He will kill himself!"
Zhuge Yuan put away the fan, raised the corners of his mouth, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, all the Gu Kings present looked thoughtful, and the more they thought about it, the brighter their eyes became.
Finally, someone suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Great! This is a great plan! I don't believe this weapon idiot won't take the bait. As expected of Zhuge, who is famous for his wisdom. This plan is vicious enough. This weapon idiot is doomed to die!"
The others also smiled and nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal.
But some people still frowned and hesitated, "What if this tool idiot knows that picking red spider lilies will cost him his life?"
"Although the Eight Divine Flowers are mysterious and only a few people know about them, Qi Chi has been in the human world for a long time after all. What if he has really seen records about the Eight Divine Flowers?
"Humph!" Zhuge Yuan sneered, "Even if he knew, what can he do?"
"If it were a human, no one would be so foolish as to exchange their life for another's, but it would be a different story if it were a spirit beast that values friendship and loyalty."
"Given Qi Chi's feelings for his master and senior sister, he must save them even at the cost of his own death."
"This is an open conspiracy. Even though he knows it is a vicious plot set by us, he has no choice but to fall into it..." (End of this chapter)
