Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"What can make Young Master Gu's heart move is me, as a person."

Gu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"I know that Young Master Gu has no shortage of subordinates, and there are countless people who want to work under you. But I believe that no matter what, Young Master Gu will not mind having more intelligent people."

Ming Chengfeng said confidently.

"Do you think you're smart?"

"While I dare not compare myself to Young Master Gu, I also dare to look down upon the heroes of the world!"

"Then tell me, why should I see you?"

After considering for a moment, Ming Chengfeng said:

"I am not well-known in the Immortal Realm, so it is unlikely that Young Master Gu would pay attention to me."

"But with your extensive knowledge and discernment, it is not difficult to recognize my identity. Therefore, I speculate that you are probably interested in my Ming Clan."

"I think what you are plotting is our Ming Clan."

Ming Chengfeng's palms began to sweat slightly.

He was very confident in his speculation.

If Gu Lingxiao was willing to see him, he must have been interested in his Ming Clan identity.

But there were too many people with Ming Clan backgrounds.

He had to show his intelligence and wit in order to stand out among so many people from the Ming Clan.

But he also knew that sometimes being too clever was not good.

He didn't know the right balance, whether he had grasped it or not.

"Since you think I am plotting your Ming Clan, why did you still come to see me?"

"I know that you support Lingyue as a force under your command, which means you do not oppose outsiders working for you. And since you need to plot against the Ming Clan, I can betray the Ming Clan and work for you."

Ming Chengfeng's words widened Ming Zemo's eyes.

He knew that Ming Chengfeng had dark and ambitious thoughts, but he didn't expect his ambitions to be this big!

Whether the Ming Emperor was a wise or foolish ruler, no one knew, but he must be a tyrant.

If the Ming Emperor found out, Ming Chengfeng would probably not have a good ending.

"Why do you want to betray the Ming Clan?"

"I want to become the leader of the Ming Clan, I want to become stronger."

A touch of ruthlessness appeared on Ming Chengfeng's face as he recounted his life within the Ming Clan.

Generally, when controlling a force, most of the resources of that force would be tilted towards oneself.

Because the ultimate goal of controlling this force was to make oneself stronger, not to make the force stronger.

The Ming Emperor did the same, which was not a problem.

But there were quite a few forces that paid attention to the sustainable development of the force.

While focusing on making themselves stronger, they would also allocate a portion of resources to the younger generation below, allowing the overall strength of the force to improve to a certain extent.

The Ming Emperor did not do this.

The resources left for the younger generation were pitifully small.

And even this meager amount of resources was mostly controlled by Ming Xietian.

Ming Xietian was much older than Ming Chengfeng, and being born later meant that Ming Chengfeng could not obtain any resources.

Although it was not worse than being a wandering cultivator, compared to the younger generation of other forces at the same level, the resources could only be described as scarce.

"Interesting."

Gu Lingxiao looked at Ming Chengfeng, then glanced at Ming Zemo beside him.

From the shocked expression in Ming Zemo's widened eyes, it was clear that Ming Chengfeng had never told him about all this.

"Chengfeng, you actually..."

Ming Zemo had considered many possibilities, but he never expected Ming Chengfeng to choose to betray the Ming Clan.

"Zema, you are too naive. As long as you are still in the Underworld Clan, you will be restricted everywhere. No matter who you cooperate with or what you accomplish, the Underworld Lord will take credit for it. But it is almost impossible to leave the Underworld Clan without external help."

The Underworld Lord has extremely strong control over the Underworld Clan and also has strong execution power.

He was the one who was credited for the annihilation of the Light Speed Clan and the Destruction Clan.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone else to control the Underworld Clan in the same way.

For the overall Underworld Clan, the Underworld Lord is a very capable clan leader.

But for Cheng Feng, he can gain very little benefits.

Unfortunately, he is a person with great ambition and is unwilling to live under the control of the Underworld Lord for his whole life.

Because he sees his future potential as very limited.

He wants to become stronger.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I actually made up my mind a long time ago. I just lacked an opportunity."

He had long wanted to leave the Underworld Clan and betray them.

But if he were to switch sides, he would need to find a suitable force to join.

"Since that's the case, prove your determination."

Gu Lingxiao glanced lightly at the nearby Zema.

Cheng Feng immediately slapped Zema without hesitation, and Zema naturally refused to be killed by Cheng Feng, so they immediately started fighting.

Having witnessed Yuan Xiner and Yang Yun's battle, as well as Gu Nanxiao and the woman in the red dress's battle, the fight between these two seemed like child's play.

Although the Underworld Lord is considered very strong among the Dao Realm experts, the younger generation of the Underworld Clan is not impressive enough.

Gu Lingxiao had no interest in watching their fight and instead closed his eyes to cultivate while they fought.

When he opened his eyes, the outcome of their fight had already been decided.

Cheng Feng's arm was broken, his right leg was also broken, and his face was filled with a painful expression.

"Next, take this pill."

Gu Lingxiao threw a pill.

Cheng Feng swallowed it without any hesitation, feeling the sensation of his life being controlled by someone, while his injuries quickly healed.

"Let me see your level of skill."

If he wanted to become the clan leader of the Underworld Clan, it was essential to gather a group of loyal subordinates.

Gu Lingxiao flicked his finger, and a bottle of pills flew towards Cheng Feng.

It was 90% similar to the pill he had just swallowed.

"Understood! I will definitely not disappoint you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Lingxiao waved his hand, and Cheng Feng left the palace.

This was the third test.

The first test was the previous question and answer, testing his basic knowledge.

The second test was to test his ruthlessness.

Cheng Feng passed both of these tests.

Now, the third test would truly assess his abilities.

Once he passed, he would become an important pawn in Gu Lingxiao's plan for the Underworld Clan.

As Cheng Feng said, one can never have too many smart subordinates.

If Cheng Feng is indeed smart enough and capable enough, then the benefits he can bring to Gu Lingxiao as the new clan leader of the Underworld Clan will be even greater.

Gu Lingxiao was genuinely curious about the Heaven and Earth divine object that the Underworld Lord obtained from Fu Jinghong.

What kind of thing could make the Underworld Lord, who values his reputation so much, take such a big risk and betray his trust?

Gu Lingxiao waved his hand, and the body of Zema lying on the ground disappeared from the palace.

However, there were still some things that Gu Lingxiao couldn't peacefully cultivate yet, because another explosive event occurred in the Immortal Domain.

The missing Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace reappeared in the Immortal Domain.
