Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 556 Zhu Wuyao, you're so vicious!

The four methods are different, but there is no distinction between them. If one is wounded by a halberd, one will retaliate with a spear; there is always a way to strike back.

If Zhu Wuyao were to view it from the perspective of a divination cultivator, the Juque Sect's array cultivation involves constantly changing arrays, which manifest in the cause and effect process as arrangement, misalignment, disruption, and reorganization.

One nascent soul and another nascent soul are different.

Some cultivators' Nascent Soul stage is like a joke, but those Nascent Soul cultivators who can hold high positions are difficult to deal with.

Take Elder Xiaobai in the Star-Picking Tower, for example. He should be able to temporarily store and postpone the resolution of cause and effect. If Zhu Wuyao wanted to use the Endless Image to move him from tens of thousands of miles away, Elder Xiaobai could probably put that long string of cause and effect, like dominoes, into the Water Mirror from beginning to end.

This is just speculation; Zhu Wuyao never fought with Elder Bai.

Although their cultivation levels may all be at the Nascent Soul stage, the efficiency with which they utilize their cultivation levels varies, resulting in different effects and abilities.

Therefore, they are difficult to kill.

Especially given the distance and the fact that they had never been in close contact, there was limited room for Zhu Wuyao to do anything.

Song Kezi buried himself in thought and asked:

"What kind of treasure is it? Is it the same as the treasure you have?"

After all these years, if Song Kezi still can't figure out some of Zhu Wuyao's secrets, then he's not worthy of the name Song Kezi.

Zhu Wuyao shook his head and said:

"This is a secret treasure that can benefit everyone in the sect. It cannot even be maintained by an individual. It is usually placed in a conspicuous but hard-to-notice place. I am an exception."

“Strange, very strange.” Song Kezi pointed to the “Nine Luminaries Peak” of the Juque Sect and said, “This place fits perfectly!”

The Nine Luminaries Peak is used for trials by disciples of the Giant Que Sect.

This place is shrouded in countless formations, with each step seemingly a battleground, overlapping and nested, much like the Purple Qi of the Star-Picking Tower and the Sword-Testing Platform of the Azure Cloud Gate, making it famous even in the outside world.

Song Kezi continued:

"But then again, since you've laid out the conditions so clearly, you certainly won't let 'Nine Luminaries Mountain' go. You might have already sent people to investigate."

"Has it not been detected, or has it been ruled out?"

I don't know.

For example, the spirit brush in the purple aura is a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, and Lu Tiaotiao in the Sword Testing Platform is a fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

What she suspected was that the most important thing in the Nine Luminaries Mountains was not here.

After hearing Zhu Wuyao's speculation, Song Kezi squatted on the chair, rested her chin on her hand, blinked, and tilted her head to say:

Ah! That's right! That's how you use me!

"You want me to fill in the gaps in your information, but you don't explain things clearly to me. You force me to rely on secondhand information of unknown veracity or accuracy, and under the potential for misleading information, you unleash your full power!"

I have nothing to say to Zhu Wuyao, and there's nothing much to say.

If Song Kezi were a normal, evil person with any possibility of having a conscience, and if she could trust him even a little, after several years of getting to know him, he wouldn't be hiding things like this now. Zhu Wuyao might try to take a gamble.

But now, Zhu Wuyao is absolutely certain that as long as Song Kezi has all the information, he will tamper with it at a crucial moment, causing Zhu Wuyao's death while protecting himself.

There's no need to gamble; Zhu Wuyao can be 100% certain that Song Kezi is not trustworthy.

"Zhu Wuyao, you're so selfish."

"If things hadn't gotten to the point where you were in dire straits, you wouldn't have even shown me this map."

"You only share this information with me when you need me? Aren't you supposed to be able to predict the future from the slightest clues? No way, no way, does your infallible ability no longer work?"

"Or... is it that a truly formidable opponent has emerged, one that you are unable to contend with?"

As Master Fang once judged, Song Kezi was incapable of planning for the big picture and would never become a person who would bring chaos to the world, but he was very good at scheming and scrutinizing details.

Zhu Wuyao also noticed this.

Therefore, when facing an unknown and formidable enemy, Song Kezi might be able to help her identify and fill in the gaps in her knowledge, and see details that are difficult to notice due to her habitual way of thinking.

She ignored Song Kezi's sarcastic remarks and continued to ask:

"Besides Nine Luminaries Peak, where else is there?"

"If such an enemy truly existed, possessing almost supernatural intelligence and capable of tracking our movements, how could we be imprisoned and controlled by the Juque Sect?"

Song Kezi shook his head and suddenly said:

"Zhu Wuyao, your line of thinking is wrong!"

"You should ask—if there really is such a clever person, and the Juque Sect has gone to great lengths to control him, why not eliminate the threat completely and eradicate it at its root?"

"Just like when you were poisoned a while ago, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, I would try every means to kill you and not let you live."

"To avoid retaliation later..."

"But beating me up in front of so many people, making it known to the whole world, is still too much!"

"I only wanted your life, but you made me lose my dignity!"

Zhu Wuyao made the matter of "beating up Song Kezi" known to everyone not only to divert the enemy's attention, but also to make up for the cause and effect.

The purpose was to allow the version of himself from ten days ago to foresee that ten days later, he would give Song Kezi a good beating.

This allowed them to be more vigilant about Song Kezi beforehand.

Upon hearing his deduction, Zhu Wuyao's eyes flickered slightly. He silently took out a glutinous rice and red bean cake and pushed it in front of Song Kezi.

His way of thinking is indeed very complementary to mine.

"what!"

Song Kezi exclaimed in surprise, gathering all the glutinous rice and red bean cakes in front of her, then looked up at Zhu Wuyao and said angrily:

"You put me in the cauldron, and sure enough, you went to steal food yourself!"

"You go and eat the fresh, hot food yourself, but you give me the leftovers. Zhu Wuyao, you're so wicked!"

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

A few days later.

In a small town below Qiaocheng, Zhu Wuyao stopped a peddler.

Song Kezi had long noticed that she often did some inexplicable things.

For example, when they first started traveling together, Zhu Wuyao would suddenly find the fruit trees displeasing and use his spiritual power to shake all the fruit off the trees.

Or, when passing by a wealthy family, instead of leaving their gold and silver treasures, they might steal a chicken, prompting others to increase patrols.

"What good stuff do you have? Let me see."

The peddler immediately opened his box and said, "Miss, please take a look. We don't have many items here, but everything is in high demand. Just tell me which one you like, and they won't be expensive!"

Song Kezi looked over curiously and saw that Zhu Wuyao had chosen a pair of cloth shoes that didn't fit.

"Miss, are you giving these away as gifts? I only have this one pair here. They're perfect for elders, brothers, or lovers!"

Zhu Wuyao paid the money promptly and took the only pair of cloth shoes from the box.

So, not far away, a messenger who was in a hurry to deliver good news, after losing his horse, finally met a peddler, but could not buy him any shoes that fit.

The two walked forward, and Song Kezi suddenly said:

"You'd rather leave the cloth shoes in your storage bag to collect dust than give them to me."

"Zhu Wuyao, you're so vicious!"
