To the ten G.o.ds of Baoze, no one dared to speak to them in such a tone for many years. They were a small group of people who stood at the top of the demon descendants' community and relied on the behemoth in the form of Baoze.
With the current lineup, a Half-Sep Gokudo Path would be a piece of cake. Only a Gokudo Path was a worthy opponent.
Li Xianyu had told them to scram. It had caught them off guard as they thought to themselves, Had this lad taken the wrong medicine or had he grown wings?
“Do you have other tasks this time?” Li Xianyu came over and said in a deep voice. Before he spoke, he turned off the walkie-talkie.
The S-cla.s.s people made silent eye contact. White G.o.d and Black G.o.d worked together to hold up a spiritual barrier and isolate the voice within the barrier.
“How did you know?” said Thunderlord lightly.
Li Xianyu sat down and lit a cigarette. “At the bottom of the pool, I noticed that Combat G.o.d wanted to strike. Along the way, you kept stirring trouble. I found it peculiar. Thinking about it now, you must have had a reason.”
Ape G.o.d looked at him. “Just like this?”
“San Wu has told me,” said Li Xianyu. “Your real task this time is to kill all the demon descendants who have entered the Great Deities Palace.”
Everyone made the same face: (#゚Д゚)
“According to the company's regulations, San Wu should be severely punished for leaking the company's secret missions.”
White G.o.d gazed around, staring at Li Xianyu. “Since you know, what do you think then?”
Li Xianyu was annoyed. This was such an important task, but he was excluded. If he was still a weakling three months ago, he was indeed not qualified for such a task.
But now, he was also S-cla.s.s. His combat power was lower than that of the S-cla.s.s people here. On the other hand, he guaranteed that he could defeat any one of the ten G.o.ds. However, Baoze hid stuff from him and expelled him from the core circle of the mission.
This was a very uncomfortable feeling that only the involved parties could comprehend.
“I don't agree with you.” Li Xianyu was straightforward, looking at the nine G.o.ds of Baoze. “Amongst the demon descendants who entered the Great Deities Palace, some are my friends.”
He figured out why the crabs went berserk. He didn't have to think about it. It was definitely the doing of Thunderlord and the others.
Here, Li Xianyu almost knew their plan. They wanted to take advantage of the “lawless” Great Deities Palace to eradicate the stubborn “old forces” in the demon descendants' community and create a good environment for Baoze's future reform.
It was said in the pugilistic world that the ten G.o.ds of Baoze could fight a Gokudo Path. With such top-notch combat power and reasonable use of the Great Deities Palace's danger, wiping out all demon descendants was possible.
“That pretty girl with a big chest?” hissed Earth G.o.d Tian Hao. “What if we must kill her?”
Li Xianyu frowned. “Do you want to be beaten up?”
“f.u.c.k you, your ego is really inflated.”
“I don't need that to beat you. I don't need my great-grandma to do that, believe it or not.”
“Try me.”
“Come on, let's go outside.”
Fire G.o.d quickly interrupted. “Okay. San Wu probably didn't make it clear to you. At first, based on our estimation, there shouldn't have been so many scattered cultivators coming in. Of course, even if there were none, we don't really want to wipe out everyone here. Here is a list of the people who must be killed. Although in addition to those scattered cultivators, 80% of the people in all major forces are included.”
He took out his mobile phone and showed Li Xianyu the so-called “kill list”.
“Wald, from the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings, is on the list too?” Li Xianyu was stunned.
There were six overseas forces following Baoze this time. The other five were not on the list, and Wald, the vice president of the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings, was on the list.
Li Xianyu was a bit surprised. Since the plan wasn't to kill everyone, these forces should have been excluded.
They were all foreigners. Their territory was abroad. There was no substantive conflict. Baoze wanted to clean up the local demon descendants' community, which had nothing to do with these foreigners. What's more, those who were willing to cooperate with Baoze were all the official forces that had better relations with Baoze.
“In the 18th year, eight demon descendants from the company went to the United States to arrest a vicious demon descendant. They were about to apprehend the criminal, but because there was no extradition treaty, they were intercepted by people from the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings. The criminal escaped as a result, while our company's people were detained.”
“After the headquarters of the company contacted the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings, the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings released them. However, not long after that, the eight colleagues were all killed in a conspiracy. The result of the investigation showed that it was the escaped criminal who wanted to take revenge.”
“This matter is related to Wald?” Li Xianyu frowned.
“Yes. According to reliable information, the criminal had been working as an informer for Wald and doing dirty work for him since he arrived in the United States. The address of the eight colleagues in our company was disclosed to the informant by Wald,” Combat G.o.d said coldly.
“Wald must die.” The tone of Equal was cold.
“I haven't eaten an American yet.” Food G.o.d licked his lips.
It was okay if Victoria wasn't involved. The foreign girl was his good friend. She was bright and generous, and Li Xianyu liked her very much.
“Then, what are you guys going to do?”
However, in order to kill Wald, they had to face the people of the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings. Victoria was bound to be involved in this matter.
Ape G.o.d declared, “Our plan is to a.s.sa.s.sinate them. As for how to do it, it depends on the situation. We have to see what kind of crises the world has in store for us.”
“Now, it seems that our efforts have gone to waste. This world is very quiet,” he said.
In other words, were they prepared for a head-on conflict?
“On the other hand, I want to know who is more powerful, Li Xianyu or Earth G.o.d?” White G.o.d said.
This topic aroused people's interest, and Thunderlord said, “Li Xianyu's skills are still a level below us.”
Ape G.o.d nodded.
They had fought the Great Demons' Alliance together. They knew the strength of Li Xianyu, which was around the level of a middle S-cla.s.s. It was a long way from peak S-cla.s.s. Even if he had his strengthening ability, he would fight a hundred moves with them at most, and he would still lose in the end.
Thunderlord did not agree. “After he has awoken again, his strength should be better.”
Combat G.o.d looked at Li Xianyu and shook his head. “His physical const.i.tution is lacking.”
He meant that Li Xianyu's physique was not polished enough, and the details of one's body would show if one devoted himself to the art of combat.
“Whether he can fight with me or not, don't forget that he was an ordinary man three months ago,” said Earth G.o.d Tian Hao as he rolled his eyes.
Li Xianyu was speechless. Thinking of it, this was a hacker. Three months ago, he did not exist in the demon descendants' community.
As an old man who was active in the blood group of the company, Fire G.o.d felt the most deeply about it. He witnessed the growth of Li Xianyu (in words). Back then, he had said in the chat, “I'm in the girls' toilet. I'm so scared, the aggrieved spirit will ask me for toilet paper…”
Unconsciously, the newbie had grown into an expert who was of a similar prowess as him. It seems like an eternity… Pfft, how long has it been?
Skipping the topic and continuing the meeting, Ape G.o.d said, “There's something you don't know.”
Waiting until the rest was looking at him, Ape G.o.d said in a deep voice, “The eradication plan had been decided for a long time, but it's definitely not now. According to the company's plans, it's after the big boss has attained Gokudo Path.”
The S-cla.s.s people were stunned and silent.
“Because the big boss thinks the breakthrough to Gokudo Path is far away?” White G.o.d bit her lips. She was the biggest fangirl of the big boss. Although she was older than him, it didn't affect this fact.
“If the company decided to strike within the Great Deities Palace in the first place, they would definitely notify us in advance, rather than on the eve of the mission. On the way from Shanghai, I was thinking about a problem. The big boss seemed to be in a hurry to reform the demon descendants' community,” Ape G.o.d spoke expressively as he chewed on some beef.
Fire G.o.d frowned. “What's the hurry?”
“If you are in a hurry because of something, what's the reason?” said Li Xianyu.
“Time!” said Food G.o.d.
“Yes, any hurry is due to time. But it doesn't make sense. The thing we lack the least is time,” Thunderlord said.
The meeting was obviously off topic, and the topic s.h.i.+fted from the Great Deities Palace to the big boss of everyone.
After chatting for a few words, there was no result because there were too few clues. Even at the level of Baoze's ten G.o.ds, more information was not discovered. It was a waste of time to discuss an endless speculation, so the topic turned back to the Great Deities Palace.
Equal asked, “We called you over to ask about that thing in your left arm. How much does it know?”
It didn't know anything. It was just a whistleblower.
Li Xianyu took off his gloves. “You tell them yourself.”
Slime said, “It's w.a.n.g Chen's fault.”
Li Xianyu said, “Don't be a fool. Talk about the important stuff.”
Slime said, “Yes, it's w.a.n.g Chen's fault.”
Li Xianyu shrugged. “It lost part of its memory, even the location of the Great Deities Palace. At that time, the Demonic Priest encountered misfortune and was imprisoned in an underground palace by Quanzhen Sect. At that time, the young Taoist Venerable took some of Slime's body.”
As for the origin of Slime, Li Xianyu did not guess wrongly. After detecting that its DNA was different from that of living creatures, Li Xianyu had wondered if it was some part of an ancient demon's body, which had developed intelligence.
Combined with the frescoes seen at the bottom of the ground, his guess was probably spot-on. There was still a problem to be verified. Was Slime formed from the corpse of the giant beast, developing intelligence later? Or was it the beast itself?
When he saw the fresco, Li Xianyu was thinking about this question, but he did not ask Slime. Even if he asked, it would not confess.
White G.o.d blinked. “Slime?”
Li Xianyu explained, “It is a ma.s.s of material, sticky, like a puddle of slime. Come on, give us a performance.”
Slime “melted” very cooperatively, changing its shape. Then, a shocking scene happened. It became a big p.e.n.i.s an arm thick. The mushroom-like head was identical, there was even a slit.
Everyone was speechless.
Li Xianyu's scalp was numb. This was his shape, his identical shape.
It was taking revenge on me for making it a.s.sist me in peeing?
Nice one. I'll call you Little Brother Supporter from now on.
Food G.o.d, who seldom spoke, looked at his companions and said, “I don't know if you guys noticed something even after talking so much.”
Li Xianyu put on gloves, hid Slime, and said, “What's the problem?”
Food G.o.d frowned. “Demonic Priest entered the Great Deities Palace more than 80 years ago. Why was he painted on the mural? Aren't you guys concerned about this? Who painted the frescoes?”
“I know,” White G.o.d, who was deep in thought, whispered.
The others may have been distracted by the connection between the big beast and the Great Deities Palace, thus ignoring this detail. Even Li Xianyu, who boasted that he was smart, didn't think about it, let alone his harem. The position of the intelligent concubine was vacant, because the IQ of his harem was limited.
Eighty years ago, some people carved a fresco of Demonic Priest and carved it on the wall, which meant that this world was not empty.
“Be careful. We are not as safe here as we think we are,” Thunderlord said in a deep voice.
“There's a more frightening conclusion.” Equal squinted. “The frescoes underground are the same person. I don't know how many years that thing has lived.”
Earth G.o.d looked solemn. “This is the right way to utilise a trouble magnet const.i.tution.”
Ape G.o.d said angrily, “Don't talk about trouble magnets. It's inauspicious. Pui, pui, touch wood.”
Li Xianyu was speechless.
As Ape G.o.d spoke, there seemed to be an invisible force pus.h.i.+ng things toward their worst-case scenarios.
Something bad had happened.
