Chapter 102 How to solve unexpected trouble?
The topic returned to Li Muyang once again. Lu Suo was indeed a bit of a headache. With this strength, even if Su Nuo were fully resurrected, he would probably only be able to fight him to a draw at most.
Note: The main character still had a trump card up their sleeve!
At the time, Li Muyang did intend to finish them off right there, but he felt uneasy. His sixth sense told him that even if he used all his skills, it would be difficult to truly eliminate them! This was an overwhelming trend! With his current strength, he was not yet capable of defying fate!
So while his actions were indeed ruthless, he passively held back, only using his own and Xiaobai's power, and didn't even use the Nine-Tailed Immortal Mode! Nor did he invoke the power of the Shennong Beast!
This created the illusion that Li Muyang was evenly matched with Su Nuo.
But in order to stabilize morale, Lu Suo thought for a moment and then spoke up to analyze: "According to the principle of balance in the world, if a powerhouse of his level joins the world of sorcery, our side should also have combat power joining in... Wait a minute!"
At this point, Lu Suo's eyes suddenly lit up! That's right! How could I have almost forgotten! So that's how it is!
"What's wrong? Just say it!" Grandpa Louhu complained impatiently. He only said half a sentence, are you constipated? Next time you go to the toilet, I'll make sure you're not halfway through! Hehehe!
Lu Suo regained his usual confident, smiling expression and reassured her with certainty, "Don't worry! I understand where this guy comes from now! I see! The reason why this guy joined the world of sorcery without affecting our balance is only one possibility! Unless... Li Muyang isn't from the world of sorcery at all!"
"That's right!" Upon hearing Lu Suo's analysis, Zhenren's eyes lit up as well: "The power this kid is using isn't cursed power at all! If you feel it carefully, this kid's power is actually somewhat similar to ours? Like the power of nature?"
"Could it be that this kid named Li Muyang is a calamity curse spirit symbolizing the sky?" Old Man Louhu's imagination ran wild. So he's one of our own?
He successfully earned the contempt of several people. If you don't understand, you don't have to say it! Does that look like the attitude of a cursed spirit towards another cursed spirit? Was that genuine disgust from the bottom of his heart faked? That's clearly the disgust a human feels for a cursed spirit!
"Ahem! Listen to me, isn't this Li Muyang from the Dragon Kingdom? As far as I know, in ancient times, there was a kind of being called a Qi Refiner, who could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, possessing powerful attack and defense capabilities! They could even manipulate natural elements, such as wind, fire, thunder, lightning, wood, and water, and reach the realm of becoming one with heaven and earth and the universe."
Lu Suo continued to spout nonsense with a straight face. He had only heard rumors and had never seen a real Qi Refiner. However, there were indeed traces of Qi Refiners in Japan in the early years, which were recorded in some ancient books. This was also the source of Lu Suo's information!
This belongs to an even more ancient existence; Lu Suo, this thousand-year-old monster, has only heard of it.
But since the cursed spirits in front of him don't know anything, and Rimei doesn't know much either, they're probably about the same as him, so Lu Suo can fool them however he wants!
As expected, the cursed spirits and Rime believed it! The cursed spirits didn't want to believe it at first, but after turning to look at Rime, they thought for a moment and felt that what Lu Suo said made a lot of sense, so they nodded.
Well, since none of the people from the same era had any objections, the spirits of the curse actually believed it!
Lu Suo: "Of course, the last sentence, about becoming one with heaven and earth, is definitely an exaggeration. This kid can't do that, otherwise we wouldn't be alive today. But he's most likely an ancient Qi cultivator who has survived to this day! He's indeed very powerful!"
Upon closer reflection, even Lu Suo couldn't help but marvel at his own genius! He had actually connected the dots to Li Muyang's true identity! A Qi Refiner! Hahaha!
Yes, the energy he uses is similar to that of nature, his methods are very comprehensive, and various abilities emerge one after another. According to Hua Yu, Li Muyang can also control trees and plants to form a wooden dragon! In terms of strength, he is even comparable to himself!
What else could this be but a Qi cultivator?
Uh... in a sense, it seems like Lu Suo has figured out the truth?
"Even if we know his identity, what can we do to deal with him?" Hua Yu raised the key question again. The problem is that this mysterious Qi Refiner is their enemy! And they can't defeat him!
Lu Suo smiled confidently: "Don't worry about that! Since he's not from the world of sorcery, I can naturally use beings from outside the world of sorcery to deal with him!"
Seeing how confident this guy was, the cursed spirits and Rime felt a little admiration. You're no better than him! Even at a time like this, you still like to hold back? Aren't you afraid of messing things up?
Lu Suo, seeing his teammates' thoughts, explained with a hint of helplessness, "It's not that I don't want to use this power sooner, but this guy is unruly! He's capricious! Either there's not enough attraction to awaken him, or it's hard to say whether he'll be friend or foe!"
"However, I happen to know one thing! This guy has a grudge against Qi Refiners! He's perfect for dealing with this Li Muyang!"
Having just undergone his transformation, Tuogen was still a little intimidated by Li Muyang and couldn't help but ask, "Is this guy you're talking about really capable of dealing with Li Muyang?"
Lu Suo was quite confident: "Definitely! Li Muyang is indeed very powerful, but he is still just a human! And this guy's strength, even if it were an even more ancient being, revered as a god, would still pose a great threat!"
Upon hearing that their teammate was so strong, the cursed spirits and Rimei were relieved but also a little worried. What if this guy continued to oppose them after dealing with Li Muyang?
"That's not a problem! If he really runs away, he'll attract the attention of some ancient beings. At that time, whether Li Muyang can deal with him or not, he'll definitely be delayed, which will be enough for our plan to succeed. And after that, if this guy doesn't go back on time, hehe... when those ancient beings take action, this guy will be weak for a long time! He knows what's important!"
It's clear that Lu Suo knows this guy's weaknesses quite well!
Now that Lu Suo has a plan, the spirits and Rime have decided to stop wasting words and leave it to you!
"Of course, when we face him, we must show him the respect we deserve. After all, he is a very famous figure in mythology." Lu Suo's tone subtly revealed a hint of sarcasm.
Li Muyang was unaware of Lu Suo's group's schemes. However, he probably never imagined that Lu Suo could summon an even more ancient being.
That makes sense. Things that disrupt the plot often come from outside the plot!
The principle of balance!
But isn't that what makes it interesting?
Back to Li Muyang, he had already released Yu Xingji and Miwa Kasumi.
As soon as he was released, Li Muyang stared blankly at the two people hugging each other. "You guys... Oh, oh, oh! Excuse me!"
The two reacted instantly, quickly separating and awkwardly turning away from each other, their faces flushed and unable to look directly at Li Muyang, let alone at him.
"Hey you two, I've been working so hard to beat up the boss for you guys out there, and you two are all lovey-dovey at my house, practically kissing!" Li Muyang complained resentfully as he leaned closer. He'd never experienced what it felt like to kiss his sister in either of his two lifetimes!
The two felt awkward for a moment. Just then, Shennong Beast and Xiaobai ran out of the gourd. As soon as Shennong Beast came out, he complained unhappily, "Muyang, why did you throw them out! I saw them about to kiss! What a terrible time! Don't you have any sense of propriety!"
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.
Yukichi and Miwa Kasumi stared blankly at Shennong Beast and Shiro. Holy crap! So there was someone spying on them just now?
Seriously, are these two shikigami really that intelligent? They seem no different from ordinary people!
I felt even more embarrassed! This is so awkward!
Both of them are shy and reserved, and usually like to act serious, so the current situation is really awkward.
"Alright, let's get down to business." After giving the two enough awkward time, Li Muyang broke the silence and said to Yu Xingji, "You make your own choice. Do you come back with me to see Gojo Satoru, tell him everything you know in detail, and then atone for your crimes? Don't worry, your teacher and I will protect you!"
"We know those high-ranking officials are corrupt, and some of them are in cahoots with these curse spirits and curse masters. So, hmph! I think you understand what I mean! As long as what you did didn't cause too much damage, I'll keep you out of trouble!"
What does this mean? Gojo Satoru has been wanting to deal with those high-ranking officials for a long time! He just didn't have enough reasons! Now, with Kokichi, this tainted witness, who dares to act recklessly? They'll be implicated! Are you colluding with sorcerers and cursed spirits? A swift stroke of the sword! That's it!
Yu Xingji understood Li Muyang's meaning. The sorcerer's dissatisfaction with the higher-ups was nothing new. He was just a student, and the contact when he delivered the information for the exchange meeting was indirect. Even he himself didn't know who the real mole in the higher-ups was!
But so what? The undercover agent in high-ranking positions can't just come out and admit it, right? So, as a tainted witness, if he says a high-ranking official has problems, that official will definitely be investigated! And if something is uncovered during this process… then don't blame Gojo Satoru for turning his back on him!
Of course, Yukichi had no objections! Just like Miwa Kasumi particularly admired Gojo Satoru, Yukichi also had a high level of trust in Gojo Satoru! He deserved to die without a burial place for what he had done, but now that he had his life spared and even had a chance to redeem himself, it was already the greatest mercy that Gojo Satoru and Li Muyang had shown Yukichi!
“Of course I have no objection!” Yukichi hurriedly replied, but Miwa Kasumi beside him was still a little curious: “Senpai, what is the other option you mentioned?”
Yu Xingji suddenly became curious as well, and he also wanted to know what other path Li Muyang had given him.
Li Muyang didn't speak, but calmly pointed to the side. The two turned their heads and were immediately startled, becoming alert! "What are you still here for?"
