Myriad Paths

Li Qi was a little surprised when he first saw the other party.

He's...wearing armor?

No, it can't be said to be armor. No armor can wrap it so tightly, it's obviously skin!

His skin was different from that of all the Holy Flame tribesmen Li Qi had seen, and his carapace formed a look similar to armor.

If the ordinary Holy Flame tribesman only has an ordinary black or red carapace, then his carapace has grown countless skirts and expansions, giving him tighter protection and not affecting his movement.

And the color is also different. Those skins are snow-white, only the edges seem to have a very thin black piping, and the rest are pure white, without a single scratch, and are stitched extremely densely.

Li Qi looked at the other party's body and could feel a depressing atmosphere.

Seeing the other person sitting in a wheelchair and listening to the clicking sounds he made, a series of images appeared in front of Li Qi's eyes.

That picture looks like this:

"As dusk falls, the air after the rain is filled with the warm smell, the ashes of the spices in the stove are getting colder, more and more mountains and rivers are drawn on the map, military books reporting the enemy's defeat are placed on the table, and other monarchs are willing to A letter of peace that pays tribute year after year to pray that soldiers will not come to his kingdom."

Is this the experience of...an ancient holy king?

The Lord of the Sixth-Rank World seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory.

Li Qi found that the body of the Holy Flame Clan that he transformed into inevitably followed him and wanted to sink into such memories, and he received a lot of information!

This information comes from the sound made by the other party.

Is this the resonance of the Holy Flame Clan?

This ancient holy king was trying to resonate with himself and pull himself into the same whirlpool of thoughts.

If it were any other Holy Flame clan, it would be difficult to resist such resonance.

Fortunately, no matter what, this body was just transformed by Shen Shuibi using magic, so Li Qi was not affected too much.

But on the side, the Holy Flame clan member named Lira was stunned.

Not only the Holy Flame clan member named Lira, but the entire sanatorium, and seemingly all the Holy Flame clan members, were all caught up in some deep emotions.

With this resonance, click.

In front of the ancient holy king, a golden flame ignited.

There is no temperature, nor is it fire, but a pure aggregation of divine energy.

This... is the Holy Flame?

Li Qi looked at such a thing, waved slightly, and took the holy flame into his hand for observation.

This was the first time I saw the real holy flame.

At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly waved his hand, and a soundless area suddenly appeared around him.

This is a soundproof wall, so no sound can be transmitted outside.

This directly resulted in the resonance being cut.

The Holy Flame tribe outside is still in resonance. They cannot resist the resonance initiated by the ancient Holy King, and it has already started. It is difficult to stop the resonance, and they must wait until it ends.

And the Holy King's influence on the outside world was also cut off.

Therefore, during this period of time, except for Li Qi, Shen Shuibi, and the Holy King, no one in this sanatorium maintained consciousness.

"Did you notice?" Li Qi looked at the ancient holy king of the Holy Flame Clan with some surprise.

As expected of a sixth-grade man, even though he was injured like this, his mind was still very clear. He was still thinking about how to speak when he saw through the fifth-grade illusion.

Oh, no, he didn't see through it, he reasoned it out.

The Holy King stopped resonating, looked at Li Qi, and asked in a hoarse voice: "You are pretending well, but there is a small flaw."

"What?" Li Qi was a little curious. Normally, he shouldn't be able to notice the difference between himself and the others and the Shengyan tribe.

Shen Shuibi's illusion technique has no flaws for them.

"Temperament... your bodies are upright. This is a building built in the pure immortal style. The current Shengyan clan members cannot hold their heads up when they come to a place like this." The Holy King vibrated his wings and made a sound. .

A simple answer, but Li Qi was silent for a long time.

If you think about it carefully, it's true.

Just like a person who has always lived in a wooden thatched house in the countryside, he has always firmly believed that his place is a backward place, and the small western-style houses in the city where adults who have returned from abroad live are where noble people live.

Then one day, he suddenly came to the luxuriously decorated small foreign-style building. He probably couldn't raise his head.

The way that he and Shen Shuibi were not surprised was indeed a flaw.

Well, remember it, it will come in handy later.

After all, Li Qi had no infiltration experience, and he had never been a spy before, so it was normal for him to be a little careless.

As for Shen Shuibi, she is a pure idle player. What Li Qirang does and how to arrange and plan are all Li Qi's business.

After all, there are specialties in the arts, and she is really not good at these things.

"Indeed, this is an oversight. He is worthy of being the master of a world. He can still detect it even if he has almost lost his five senses. He is so keen." Li Qi admired, then moved a stool and sat in front of the other party.

Then, Li Qi said: "However, it is useless to be so vigilant. This world of incomparable treasures has become an endless shapeless ruin, and the gangrene of corruption has spread to the point where it cannot be cured by your scepter. "

"I'm not that vigilant, it's just that you guys are too relaxed... You didn't plan to hide, did you? This guy... should I call you an immortal, or something? What do you want to do by telling me this?" The Holy King said in a low voice.

He could see it.

The two people in front of him were completely careless about disguise, as if being discovered was no big deal.

In fact, it was true.

Li Qi didn't care about being discovered, because Shen Shuibi was able to handle everything after being discovered.

Besides, ordinary people couldn't find it either.

"I'm not the immortal you're talking about. You should be able to see that I'm not in the same group with them." Li Qi said as he sat.

"You're not in the same group with them, but your goals are the same. You're all coveting this world." The Holy King pointed out Li Qi's goal directly.

"We're not in the same group, but we have the same goal, which means that we're competitors and you can use us." Li Qi smiled.

"Use what? Does it matter to me who wins? Do I have to choose a master for this world?" The Holy King asked back in a calm tone.

Li Qi smiled, looked at the Holy King, stood up, and pointed to the time outside: "Well... of course there is a difference. Let me put it this way, Holy King, have you seen the changes in this world? They don't just want this world, they are here to preach." "Look, everything about you is changing, even your aesthetics are changing. With the ability of the immortals, you will even look like the immortals after more than ten generations." "This is the power of preaching. The change of the Tao will produce this power. Your philosophy will be modified, your labor will create a form for your Tao, and the Tao will also create a form for your labor. When you think you are enjoying the Tao of the immortals, you are actually just its slave." "As long as those immortals succeed, there will be no more Holy Flame Clan. They have the blood of the Holy Flame Clan, but in their hearts, they have completely become the same race as the immortals." Li Qi pointed to the city outside and said so. The city here has begun to be rebuilt. They want to demolish their mud houses and replace them with beautiful small Western-style buildings. This is "preaching". "I know, so what?" The Holy King's voice became cold.

He knew everything Li Qi said. He didn't understand it at first, but now it is very clear.

"So, my purpose is different from theirs. They want to preach, and I just want money." Li Qi smiled and said, "I have no interest in making you a part of it. In fact, I just come to sell it."

"I can provide you with the basis for resistance, weapons, equipment, skills, and even their weaknesses, information, and so on."

"You can exchange all of this with the Holy Flame. What do you think, Holy King?"

Li Qi turned around and looked at the Holy King, saying in a kind and seductive tone.

Shen Shuibi turned her head and glanced at Li Qi.

It's a bit strange. This is different from what was agreed at the beginning. Did Li Qi change his mind?

But... well, he is better at this kind of thing, so it should be okay to let him handle it, right?

"Can I refuse?" The Holy King replied in a dull voice, his wings vibrating very lightly, as if he was despising Li Qi.

"Of course." Li Qi spread his hands.

"Then I refuse." The Holy King made a decisive choice.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Then, please enjoy your retirement life." Li Qi was also very straightforward. He bowed slightly and turned to leave.

However, he took only two steps and turned back: "By the way, I can't take a wisp of Holy Flame from you for nothing."

"Yu, heal his eyes. This is a suitable price." Li Qi said.

Shen Shuibi didn't say much after hearing this. Anyway, it was just to heal the eyes, not to heal all the other party's injuries.

So Rabbit observed the other party's injuries.

The other party's injuries were not ordinary injuries, but Tao injuries. Someone used magic power to engrave his own Tao on his body.

This directly led to the complete destruction of the power of the Holy Flame Clan Holy King. Whenever he wanted to operate his own power, he would be disturbed by other Tao engravings.

The Tao engraving will operate in the way it was originally engraved, forcing the injured person's power to operate only in his own way.

Tao is outside, which is the rule for the operation of all things.

Your body must operate in the way of this Dao imprint, otherwise there will be a "Dao dispute".

There are two solutions, either completely destroy this imprint, leaving only your own Dao.

Or succumb to the opponent's Dao imprint and turn the internal skills into the opponent's.

If you get stuck in the middle, the result is that the body loses its effectiveness, which is no different from being abandoned.

It is a very common trick.

Because when the fight reaches a certain level, "injury" does not exist for high-level cultivators.

For example, Li Qi's backtracking talisman can even trace back the light of the universe. Do you still expect the injuries on the body or soul to be useful?

They are truly immortal.

All injuries must directly act on the opponent's Dao, and only by defeating the opponent's Dao can real damage be caused.

Of course, the sixth rank is far from this stage.

So... Shen Shuibi can guess that this is the purpose of the person who put on this Dao imprint, he wants to force the Saint King to surrender.

As long as the Saint King conscientiously understands this seal and then changes his own skills and body to the immortal's skills, this mark will not only not cause injury, but will also become a help.

The person who left the mark... is a fifth grade person.

It's a bit interesting, it's a Jinxing method, a Shinto method, a rare type.

Diagnosis is over.

Not very difficult.

She flicked her fingers and saw a ray of moonlight flash by.

With a ding sound, part of the Great Road seal on the Holy King was directly shattered.

He made a shocking and inexplicable sound, because a certain mark that had been binding him before was broken into a small part, and this small part happened to be the piece that covered his eight eyes.

The eight compound eyes were restored again, and the surrounding scene became clear. Even the dust in the air could be clearly seen flowing.

The Holy Flame Clan is not sensitive to colors, but their dynamic vision is excellent. After all, they have compound eyes.

But when he started looking around with his compound eyes...

The two people who claimed to be historians disappeared.

I didn't realize when I left, and even if my eyesight recovered, I couldn't notice it at all.

These two... are also immortals.

But he's from another camp... an immortal.

The Holy King fell into silence and stopped all sounds and movements.

Thinking, he needed to think.

This is not a decision that is taken lightly.

——————————

And on the other side.

In the hometown of the Holy Flame Clan, that is, on the streets of this city, the two of them were strolling here.

They still maintain the form of a member of the Holy Flame tribe, so they look like an ordinary couple.

To be honest, when walking on the street, apart from being far behind and having extraordinary powers and magic weapons not yet widely available, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi felt like they were still in the world.

Anyway, the decoration styles are not much different, and the aesthetic styles are extremely similar. Only occasionally can you find places with the aesthetics of the Shengyan clan.

The Tao of the Holy Flame Clan has been defeated by the Tao from all over the world, and has been eroded to the point of collapse.

It's only been a hundred years, which is a matter of two generations for the Shengyan tribe.

Walking on the street, Shen Shuibi looked at this world that was new to her and asked, "Li Qi, why is it different from what was promised? Have you changed your mind?"

"No, the set goal is still the same, but in a different way." Li Qi said with a smile.

"What? Didn't you say that you want to establish an institution and then extract resources for profit?" Shen Shuibi tilted his head and asked.

"That will happen later, but it cannot be done now. You see, someone has already taken the lead. We are here to poach people. Being able to interfere in matters outside the territory means that there is at least a fifth-grade powerful person behind this, so we still have to be careful. "

"So, I'm going to start a civil war first." Li Qi said.
