Chapter 333 The Shuntian Alliance

Zhu Xiaoyu said, "My master asserted that there has always been a group of people in the art world who conform to the will of heaven."

"They believe that tribulations are the will of heaven."

"Conforming to the will of heaven is the correct choice. Since the will of heaven has chosen to destroy the art world, then let it be destroyed. After destruction comes creation, and the art world will be renewed."

"Even if the will of heaven wants to destroy the world, then let it be destroyed. All things change, and there is always a cycle."

"They are not passively waiting, but want to eliminate all those who block the tribulation, so that the tribulation can truly arrive."

Zhu Xiaoyu's statement is not unbelievable.

Not to mention the art world, even in the mortal world, there are many such people.

Most of the people who think about the end of the world every day are those who are unhappy in life. They want to die themselves and want the whole world to be buried with them.

Zhu Xiaoyu said: "My master once tracked those people, but they are extremely hidden. Often, as soon as they get a clue, the clue will be cut off."

"My master disappeared back then because he was investigating the whereabouts of the Shuntian Alliance."

Zhu Xiaoyu stopped here and said, "So, what does Shige (senior apprentice brother) want to do by setting up such a battle?"

I gave Zhu Xiaoyu a thumbs up: "You are very smart!"

"You are the most powerful opponent I have ever seen besides Ling."

"When you came to see me, you didn't plan to tell me this secret of the martial world."

"When you realized that you were at a disadvantage, you revealed this secret, which put me in a dilemma."

"Similarly, you are also testing me, why I want to enter Xianyang River."

Zhu Xiaoyu said, "Shige, can we change the way we do things?"

"I won't ask you the purpose of entering Xianyang River, and you don't ask me about my next plan."

"Let's go to Xianyang River together as we agreed before."

"Whoever contributes more will get the treasure of Xianyang River first, what do you think?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay!"

Just as Zhu Xiaoyu herself said, even if I could keep all of them here, the Reincarnation Division would send troops continuously.

We can't avoid a life-and-death battle on the road.

It is wise to decide this victory or defeat in Xianyang River.

Zhu Xiaoyu said: "Let's make it clear in advance that no one can hide anything on the road, and we must cooperate sincerely."

"At the same time, if the assassins of the Shuntian Alliance arrive, we must also defend against the enemy together."

"No problem!" I raised my hand and slapped Zhu Xiaoyu three times, which was considered a contract.

Zhu Xiaoyu then said, "Shige, I really want to know, what trump card did you leave for me? I don't believe that you only did something to the Ghost Chief."

I smiled and said, "If I tell you that even the trump card on the Ghost Chief is fake, would you believe it?"

Zhu Xiaoyu looked at me for a long time before whispering, "So, the entire martial world has underestimated you."

"Without divine schemes and ghostly calculations, you can still outwit your opponents."

Zhu Xiaoyu led me out of the gate of the tomb keeper's secret room. Shi Fei Daoren was standing neatly outside with the remaining men and horses, only the Ghost Chief was lying not far away.

Zhu Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "I have reached an agreement with Liangjie Tang. During this period, we need to cooperate sincerely, and no one should have any doubts."

Zhu Xiaoyu added: "From now on, both Li Po and I are commanders, and our words have the same effect."

"It is an order for both of us, and everyone must obey, otherwise, the family rules will be used."

Zhu Xiaoyu has absolute authority among this group of people. At least after she announced the two decisions, no one openly opposed her.

However, her decision also made me frown—what she and I said were orders, doesn't that mean she can order Feng Ruoxing and Wang Xiaohuan?

Just as I was about to speak, Feng Ruoxing pulled me from behind and whispered, "Don't refute, lest things get complicated."

After I forcibly suppressed my words, Zhu Xiaoyu said, "Daoren (Taoist priest), tell Hall Master Li what you know."

Shi Fei Daoren said, "Our Six Fan School's four veins, what we have are maps, keys, machine diagrams, torture instruments and city entry orders."

"The machine diagram controlled by the Baihu (White Tiger) vein has always been in my hands. Bei Yan Jingyun did not get the complete machine diagram."

"Just like what the Ghost Chief's witchcraft puppet told you, after the prisoners rioted that year, all the thousands of soldiers responsible for guarding died in battle, in exchange for the peace of Xianyang River."

"Bei Yan Jingyun's several explorations of Xianyang River were all trapped halfway. Without a complete machine diagram, he would not be able to open the mechanism in absolute safety."

I asked, "Are you saying that the guards of the Six Fan School controlled the prisoners with mechanisms back then. But, if we want to open the mechanisms, we will release the wronged souls of the warlocks who were trapped inside, right?"

"Yes!" Shi Fei Daoren said: "After those wronged souls constantly devoured their own kind, they have turned into ghost gods, which are very difficult to deal with."

"Moreover, because of Bei Yan Jingyun's operational errors, several ghost gods have been released."

"According to my deduction, the only safe place now is Blackwater Fortress. When we leave Blackwater Fortress, we will encounter ghost gods."

Shi Fei Daoren said: "I only have the machine diagram, and I don't know what ghost gods we will encounter along the way! That's all I know."
