Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2491 Deeply Deceptive Tactics

Even a professional con artist like Qianhuan Zhenzun couldn't suppress his anger, which shows just how outrageous the actions of the Myriad Realms are.

“This…” Baiqiao hesitated for a moment, then coughed dryly, “Since we didn’t actually fight, there’s no way to take it into consideration.”

Qian Huan is such a cunning person? He rolled his eyes and nodded slightly, "I understand, so Houde did the same thing before."

“How could that be?” Baiqiao shook his head decisively. “We emphasize the importance of virtue and morality, and we pay great attention to the law.”

"Of course you did it!" Qianhuan wouldn't believe that. "If you were really so wronged, you would have organized cultivators to attack long ago."

"That's perfectly reasonable!" Hyakuhashi Shinzun stated solemnly, "And he never acts rashly!"

The corner of Qianhuan Zhenzun's mouth twitched slightly, then he nodded slightly, "It seems it's not just once."

"Who the hell are you on?" Baiqiao cursed angrily. "Is it wrong to fight for Houde's interests?"

"Don't swear," Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Senior Baiqiao, actually I quite like your double standards."

"It's not double standards at all, okay?" Baiqiao rolled her eyes.

However, in the end, he smiled slightly and said, "Actually, things change over time... but Houde really does believe in reason."

"Then don't ask me about this anymore," Qu Jianlei understood. It was still about seizing resources, only now it had escalated to the realm level.

"If you feel that Lingyun can't support me for nothing, then you can assign me tasks. I'll choose a few to complete, and that will settle the matter."

"Issuing a mission... to sever karmic ties?" Baiqiao glanced at him indifferently, thinking to herself, "Do you think you can sever Lingyun's karmic ties so easily?"

He nodded calmly. "Alright, how about this, Qu Zhenzun will go to the Myriad Realms on Lingyun's behalf... to clear up the misunderstanding?"

"I...go to the Realm of All Things?" Qu Jianlei was stunned upon hearing this. "Baiqiao, are you serious?"

He has lived two lives, but has never served as an envoy.

He was a man from China, and he had some sentimental attachment to the Han people, so he didn't reject such a mission.

However, if he really were to go on the mission in place of Lingyun, he certainly wouldn't follow the rules. Baiqiao, you'd better think this through.

However, Baiqiao gave him a strange look and asked, "Aren't you paying attention to your teammates' rank advancement?"

"I knew you'd be waiting for me somewhere," Qu Jianlei said, ignoring the man.

Baiqiao's actions are truly disgusting, but surprisingly, he doesn't feel much aversion towards him—you know I can't leave.

"So you should say something else, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you."

"Just openly oppose other realms interfering in other worlds," Baiqiao's request wasn't too high.

"The more vehemently you oppose it, the better, since it affects your interests... If you don't react, how embarrassing would that be?"

“This is too simple,” Qu Jianlei nodded. “I was planning to do it this way even if you hadn’t said anything, but is this enough?”

"Does it matter if I say it's enough or not?" Baiqiao smiled dismissively. "Are you the type to take advice?"

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before speaking, "Which of the Houde factions is most knowledgeable about this matter?"

"No way?" Qianhuan was taken aback. "Master Qu, let's take this into consideration."

While the forces capable of trading with those outside the realm cannot match the Lingyun Sect, they are not far behind.

"They are infringing on my interests, can't I object?" Qu Jianlei sneered. "Unfortunately, Han Li didn't come back this time."

However, even without Han Li, he was still not afraid; he could simply take action himself.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little sour: other cultivators basically have nothing to do after leaving their bodies, why am I even busier?

However, he really couldn't back down from this matter, because... even if he didn't do anything, he was already being watched.

All I can say is that Baiqiao's insistence on supporting him back then... that was an incredibly brilliant move!

He doesn't like being used, but this is a calculated move by Luo Luo!
If Qu Jianlei had enough shamelessness, he could hide away and watch Ling Yun fight with the cultivators from the outside world.

However, as someone they are closely monitoring, would they just sit idly by and watch him disappear? They would definitely try every means to lure him out.

What Baiqiao pointed out was also his deepest concern: at this moment, many members of the team are facing the challenge of advancing to higher ranks.

Only by taking the initiative and drawing the opponent's attention to himself can he ensure the safety of his teammates.

Qu Jianlei wasn't unaware that he had been used as a pawn by Baiqiao once again.

However, life is full of unavoidable situations, and some things are simply unavoidable. Moreover, with great power comes great responsibility.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pointed forward, "These four... can't we do a divination?"

Even though they are all projections, there is always cause and effect involved, but Baiqiao doesn't seem to understand the other party's approach.

“By obscuring the secrets of heaven, one can actually trace back the cause and effect,” Baiqiao replied with a hint of helplessness, “It feels like fishing.”

"This is your home turf, okay?" Qu Jianlei was truly speechless. "Lingyun has so many treasures, are you trying to let us take over?"

“They haven’t done anything,” Baiqiao continued helplessly. “In this situation, it’s impossible to get the lord’s attention.”

He had said before that the Divine Lord was no ordinary being; even the Zerg Divine Lord might not be able to attract the Human Immortal Lord.

Upon hearing this, Qianhuan nodded, a rare occurrence. "You handled the situation very well, without showing any malice."

As a professional at staged accidents, he has his own insights, and his comments are very insightful.

"Suppose... I mean suppose," Qu Jianlei said slowly, looking at the projections of the four True Venerables.

"If these four all come from the myriad things... um, the outside world, how did they enter Houde?"

“The trading channels weren’t established in just a day or two,” Baiqiao replied without hesitation.

"If they wanted to, it would be easy for them to secretly set up a few anchor points in Houde. It would be impossible to guard against them, and even the Jieshi (a high-ranking official) could not find them all."

“I understand,” Qu Jianlei nodded. “So these four may not be the true venerable ones from the outside world. Maybe they are trying to incite internal strife in Houde.”

“Your ‘so’ is quite a leap,” Qianhuan exclaimed. “As expected of Qu Zhenzun.”

Baiqiao nodded slightly and said coldly, "Even a True Venerable of Great Virtue, if he participated in the projection, can be regarded as an inside traitor."

Qianhuan snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said sarcastically, "Maybe they have their own difficulties. Aren't you just being hypocritical?"

“I understand your thoughts,” Baiqiao glanced at him coldly, “Isn’t it just that you’re resentful for not participating in the interdimensional transaction?”

"Some deals are simply beyond your control. Didn't even Qu Zhenzun seem to care about that?"

"So you'd better behave yourself and not force me to deal with you."

Qianhuan fell silent upon hearing this. Those who stage accidents for extortion know best who they can and cannot mess with.

If Baiqiao is truly angered, and Lingyun brings out some treasure, even if he has Mount Ling in his hands, he will be in deep trouble.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. "I hope we can find out the identities of these four people, otherwise we won't know where to start."

Baiqiao looked at him and carefully considered his words, "I think... it's easier to make a divination by starting with small things, and the truth will be revealed in the details."

Qu Jianlei shook his head slowly but firmly, without saying a word: Who are you underestimating? Do you really think I have a lot of free time?

“Tsk,” Baiqiao frowned and sighed in frustration, “It’s not convenient for me to take action myself, and I’ve had to ask the Immovable World Envoy for help…”

"How do you know if you don't try?" A faint light appeared not far away, and a divine sense slowly emanated from it.

Is it really that interesting to gossip behind someone's back?

"Greetings, Envoy of the Realm," Qu Jianlei and Qian Huan said solemnly, raising their hands in a gesture of respect.

No matter how Baiqiao arranged the Mirror of Heaven, it belonged to Lingyun, and the two of them dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Baiqiao Zhenzun was slightly apprehensive. "I didn't expect to actually alarm the Realm Envoy. Thank you for your trouble!"

"I feel like you're trying to trick me," the divine sense transmitted through the faint light said slowly, "Trying to force me out like this?"

“No way,” Baiqiao denied very firmly. “I just feel that things haven’t come to light yet, so I don’t dare to trouble you, senior.”

"I am a boundary envoy," the glimmer of light slowly declared. "Your conquests of other worlds are none of my concern..."

"But someone wants to stir up trouble in this world. Don't I have any dignity?"

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly upon hearing this: So that's how the term "World Envoy" is understood?
As if hearing his thoughts, the faint light continued leisurely, "I am the Mirror of Heaven, and I must investigate even the most wicked."

"However, meddling too much also defeats the purpose of supervision. There is a Nascent Soul cultivator named Na Hong, who was originally from the outside world."

After transmitting this segment of divine consciousness, the faint light naturally dissipated, just as it had before, without a sound or ripple.

Qu Jianlei glanced blankly at Baiqiao, but in his mind he was thinking: My background... was actually under surveillance all along?

Baiqiao nodded slightly. "Nahong... shall you do it, or shall I?"

“Come on, Qu Zhenzun,” Qianhuan interjected decisively, then winked at Qu Jianlei.

There must be a reason for this statement. Qu Jianlei believed that Qian Huan had just settled a major karmic debt with him and would not dare to trick him again.

Baiqiao waited a while, and seeing that Qu Jianlei did not react, he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

The next moment, he also vanished without saying another word.

Qu Jianlei glanced at Qian Huan and asked, "You know Na Hong?"

"It's in the Wine Immortal area," Qianhuan said leisurely. "He used to be quite proper, and we had a little acquaintance."

The Jiuxian area is a mixed bag, and when he says he has a "small relationship," it's definitely just a "small relationship."

Qu Jianlei even strongly suspected that Qian Huan might be trying to use him to eliminate his rivals.

However, Qianhuan was an extremely perceptive person. Before he could ask, she took the initiative to explain.

"If this person changes his mind, the Wine Immortal will have to reshuffle the deck again, which might not be a good thing for me... and I can't possibly help you!"

"The reason I advised you to continue is because this person is not of good character and will not cause any other trouble."

"Otherwise, it might be much more difficult for Baiqiao to ask you for help next time. This matter is relatively simple."

"Qu Zhenzun, you already have quite a few potential enemies in Houde, you can't afford to add any more."
