I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3056: Chapter 1578: The Alliance and the Slave Have Resolved Definitively, Flaunting in Front of People Dao Qiongcang_2

“It seems now that it is not that He doesn’t want to release, it is that He has to release.”

“You mean to say…” Cen Qiaofu scratched at his somewhat itchy scalp, feeling like something was on the cusp of being discovered.

Dao Qiongcang’s mouth curled back into an unfathomable smile tinged with the Way of the Heavens’ energy movement:

“From this, we can deduce that upon descending to the Lower Realm, the power of the Cursed Yin Evil God will be greatly reduced.”

“Even considering a descent of two levels, the current state of the Cursed Yin Evil God wouldn’t be a match for us joining forces.”

“That’s why He can only stoop to ‘allying’ with a younger brother.”

Xu Xiaoshou slapped his forehead.

This Elder Dao sure was quick on the uptake!

Immediately, he also had new questions: “The Moon Fox is not weak. If the Cursed Yin Evil God descends to the First Heavens and can’t beat us, it makes no sense that He could beat the Moon Fox…”

“Exactly,” Dao Qiongcang nodded slightly, “If the impossible has happened, then it’s likely we are the ones who have been short-sighted.”

You and I must continually introspect… Xu Xiaoshou felt that Dao Qiongcang was a bit of a thinkaholic, but then he heard him go on:

“That’s why I say it’s not an ‘alliance’, but rather that this younger brother from the Yue Gongli family has fallen into some kind of ‘leverage’ in the hands of the evil god.”

“From the perspective of an Ancestral God, the ways to coerce a demi-saint are limited to a few, and equality is out of the question, leaving only…”

Dao Qiongcang counted on his fingers, listing them as if they were his own family treasures:

“Mysterious Decree, Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict, Divine Oracles, Soul Blood, Technique Ancestor Slave Seal, and the ‘Child-Mother Blood Curse’ of the Ancestral God Di Ying Saint Plant.”

“I am the evil god. It’s likely I wouldn’t trust the Ancestral Trees, and I wouldn’t want to subjectively use the methods of the Ancestor of Sorcery. The Demi-Saint’s Mysterious Decree might not be able to control a demi-saint with power of the ancestral source. Divine Oracles are time-consuming and laborious… In summary, two words: wasteful.”

“Certainly, there are other ways to coerce a demi-saint, but compared to the ones mentioned above, they seem clumsy. So it’s not hard to deduce that the answer lies between the ‘Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict’ and ‘Soul Blood’.”

Having lowered his fingers, Dao Qiongcang looked at Xu Xiaoshou and said calmly,

“Unfortunately for us, even if it’s not these two methods, those various methods, while I might not be able to solve in the Eighteen Heavens, should be solvable here.”

“At least, that brother would think so. So there’s only one purpose for him descending…”

Dao Qiongcang’s lips curled, pausing after each word:

“To ally with me!”

After his speech, the scene fell into silence.

Dozens of Saint Servants, not to mention Xu Sangshui Cen and the others.

The rest of those gathered around were intelligence workers, who at this moment had nothing left but their heavy breathing.

“What has happened…”

Countless people felt dizzy.

Yue Gongli had only revealed his location on the Ancestral God Ranking; had Dao Qiongcang figured everything out about him, including the color of his underwear and how many days it hadn’t been washed?

Is this “Hallmaster Dao?”

Looking at it this way, when we opposed him in the past, did the intelligence personnel on the Holy Divine Palace side really have this kind of perspective?

Can it really be this exciting?

Then, how did we win that game on Abyss Island?

Oh, I nearly forgot, for decades, Fen Qin has been wiped out, and our side only won the Abyss Island game.

And…

The Saint Servants won.

The failed side was backed up by the Holy Divine Palace.

Dao Qiongcang himself…has not lost!

“Hiss!”

After coming back to his senses, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

You’ve got to be kidding, right?

Xu Xiaoshou dared to consider himself supremely intelligent; he even dared to mock Elder Sang, Water Ghost, and Dao Qiongcang after they stood up, saying, “All of you present have nothing but dog crap in your brains.”

But he wouldn’t dare to take such a broad perspective and speak such absolute words the moment Yue Gongli landed without even showing his face.

If you talk like this, I’d think Yue Gongli could summon the “Cursed Yin Evil God,” and that demi-god incarnate after the Technique Ancestor’s evil transformation is also called “Cursed Yin Evil God”.

Yue Gongli, a reincarnation of the evil god, could cooperate!

Instant kill!

“My friend, you are too proud…”

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head, not agreeing, his face mocking as he said, “Words are easy to say now, but when you get slapped in the face, it will truly hurt.”

Dao Qiongcang’s complexion changed with surprise upon hearing this, and he even spread his hands, shoulders slightly shrugged:

“Oh?”

His expression was as if to say, “It won’t hurt, isn’t this just basic stuff?”

“Humiliated, Passive Points +1.”

Xu Xiaoshou gritted his teeth, feeling infuriated: “Be careful or you’ll capsize in the gutter!”

Dao Qiongcang: “We shall see.”

After this verbose discussion, Elder Dao became miserly with his words, as if he truly was a master, making everyone at the moment gaze at Hallmaster Dao with a mix of shock, skepticism, and faint admiration.

These were all Saint Servants around him!

Elder Dao the Flamboyant was well aware that his surroundings were filled with former enemies, yet as he swept his hands through his hair, he could calmly, gracefully spin a circle under everyone’s watchful eyes, unabashedly exuding his captivating charm. Finally, he turned to Xu Xiaoshou and said,

“Let’s make a bet.”

“I won’t bet!”

Xu Xiaoshou flatly refused, as gambling and drugs were two things he didn’t touch.

Hallmaster Dao, unconcerned, said, “We’ll bet on whether what I just said is wrong. If I lose, I’ll owe you a favor. Apart from my life, you can ask for anything… even the Ancestral God Fate Chart is not out of the question.”

Thump, thump!

Xu Xiaoshou’s heart rate accelerated but he shook his head in refusal,

“I won’t bet!”

“If you lose, you don’t have to give up anything, you just need to make a promise…”

“What promise?”

“From now on, you can’t point your finger at me. For each time you do, you’ll chop off one of your own fingers.”

That still involved a loss, didn’t it?

Xu Xiaoshou cursed internally but after some contemplation, he nodded and said, “Deal.”

There was no choice; Dao Qiongcang’s favor was simply too tempting!

The key point was that after using the Disillusionment Finger, he could bear chopping off his fingers. With Eternal Vitality, let alone one finger, he could regrow ten, even a hundred, if he wished!

Hallmaster Dao seemed not to mind that there were loopholes in his words that Xu Xiaoshou could exploit.

After all, what he wanted was just a promise, and to get rid of that annoying little trick the kid had up his sleeve recently, at least from his sight.

Elder Sang was about to say something on the side, but it was too late; the bet was established.

He looked around, lifting his straw hat to scratch his scalp, and realized that his palms were already sweaty.

This was a disaster!

Dao Qiongcang’s intentions were not on the ostensible offer; he never intended to interpret Yue Gongli’s situation for Xu Xiaoshou for free.

Just look at the people around…

The Saint Servant intelligence officers nearby now looked at Elder Dao with something akin to reverence in their eyes.

One could imagine that if Dao Qiongcang won this round, the name “terrifying Dao Qiongcang” would be deeply etched in their minds.

In the future, confronting Dao Qiongcang again,

Thinking about today’s tactics, after being embellished with various “rumors” and “divine transformations,” the title “Hallmaster Dao” would carry an unprecedented weight.

How would one even compete?

The same intelligence work, just thinking about others being able to foresee events to such an extent, was enough to feel defeated before the fight even began!

“No, he’s unlikely to win.”

Elder Sang immediately shook his head; the conditions for Dao Qiongcang to win were too stringent, narrowed down to only the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict and “Soul Blood”, not to mention whether all his basic deductions were correct.

If he were fundamentally wrong from the start…

Unpredictable?

He’d simply become a laughingstock!

From that day on, the name “Dao Qiongcang” would be no different from a worthless dog in the eyes of the Saint Servant intelligence officers.

It’s not a big deal… Elder Sang held back what he was going to say.

“What shall we do next?” Xu Xiaoshou then looked towards Elder Dao the Flamboyant, who was even starting to throw coquettish glances at the Saint Servant intelligence officers!

“Wait.”

Hallmaster Dao stood with his hands behind his back, having thrown flirtatious glances, he returned to being a miser with words, projecting a mysterious aura, as if by just waiting there, Yue Gongli would come knocking on his door, kneeling and begging him to solve the puzzle.

Alright, alright, alright…

Xu Xiaoshou felt overwhelmed, gaining a new appreciation for the meaning of “flamboyant”—to have such a reputation among the Ten High Nobles, recognized by so many masters, Dao Qiongcang truly lived up to his name!

But he couldn’t wait.

Opening the Space Dao Disc, he hid his aura to the extreme.

Without a second thought, Xu Xiaoshou opened a vast space canvas and began to peep.

In the same realm of the First Heavens, he could easily find out the location of Yue Gongli by anchoring nearby space nodes as soon as a probable spot where Yue Gongli might be was identified.

Everyone immediately gathered close.

Even Hallmaster Dao was no exception; his facial expressions showed a hint of nervousness, amusing Xu Xiaoshou secretly.

His focus returned to the spatial image.

The image appeared beside the Reincarnation Heavenly Pillar.

This unexpected peek turned out to be significant.

Xu Xiaoshou hadn’t seen Yue Gongli at first glance; instead, amidst the gray mist, he spotted someone missing since their last encounter in the Four Symbols Secret Realm:

“Mo Mo?”

Beside him, Hallmaster Dao also revealed a look of astonishment:

“The Holy Emperor Fengtian!”
