I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 185 Poaching

"Invite me?" Wei Jiaming was stunned. He never expected that the other party would come to him for this matter.

There are only four spectator spots for those who advance to the top 16. Generally, the direct descendants of a martial arts sect invite their own teachers or respected elders from other sects. This is to win over relationships, and secondly, with the support of many martial arts bosses, fairness can be guaranteed.

Zhang Rui is not a man of the world, but he has cultivated such a promising warrior. Although no one knows how he did it, various forces secretly analyzed and believed that this guy would use the four places of the little girl to bring the behind-the-scenes forces into the palace.

But I didn't expect that the other party would actually waste a place to take me?
what's the situation?
"Yes," Zhang Rui said with a smile, "Lord Wei has taken good care of me during this period, and I have no way to repay you. I think the only thing I can offer now is this quota to enter the palace."

Wei Jiaming looked at the other party suspiciously. After a long silence, he finally decided not to continue playing charades and asked directly, "What exactly is Master Zhang planning?"

"I have come here sincerely to seek alliance with Lord Wei." Zhang Rui said seriously.

"Alliance?" Lord Wei was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, but he smiled calmly and said, "Lord Zhang is a disciple of a hidden family. We are on the same side, aren't we?"

"Really?" Zhang Rui smiled immediately. "There are many kinds of hidden families. At least Lord Wei and Lord Gong should be different from the common hidden families on the market."

"What's the difference?"

"Most of the so-called hidden families made their fortunes in previous dynasties and established their families with human resources. The reason for their decline was because the dynasty they joined fell into decline, and they did not choose the right position in the chaotic times. In the end, they could only lurk in the wild and wait for the next opportunity. The Great Jin Dynasty was established for a thousand years, which resulted in the current top ten families being in power for too long. Unfortunately, this dynasty has a stable popular support and a good system, so it cannot be overthrown in a short time, causing many families to not even survive."

"Only Lord Wei and Lord Gong were able to break through the siege and replace this popular family that is currently in the limelight."

"Is it strange?" Wei Jiaming smiled as he drank his tea, "Although it is difficult to break the upper and lower classes in this world, there is still a chance if you seize the opportunity well."

"Very strange." Zhang Rui nodded: "I have checked the family history of Lord Wei and Lord Gong. It is very old, so old that even your family's magic formula has no records. So now many families believe that the Wei family's Ghost King Arm is your family's inherited magic formula."

"Any questions?" Wei Jiaming said calmly, "There are many examples in history of families falling into poverty and their descendants rising to prominence."

"Maybe." Zhang Rui put away his smile and looked outside. "It is also possible that he was newly cultivated by some dark forces, pretending to be from a so-called hidden family. After all, it is impossible to verify the situation of Lord Wei, right?"

"Are you talking about yourself, Lord Zhang?" Wei Jiaming sneered.

"What is the relationship between Empress Yin Feng, no, Empress Gui Feng and Lord Wei?"

In an instant, the entire hall was plunged into shadow. It was bright in the daytime, and it seemed as if something had covered the entire hall.

A cold feeling came over me, and along with it came the terrifying aura of the Ghost King of the Underworld.

"Lord Zhang, you come here alone to provoke me like this. Do you think that I can't do anything to you?" There was no smile on Wei Jiaming's face anymore, and he looked at Zhang Rui with extremely cold eyes.

Although he was full of momentum, he was extremely surprised in his heart. Even a master could not withstand the breath of the Ghost King. However, the man in front of him, who obviously had no protection from any Yin God, seemed to be unconcerned about the breath of the Ghost King's arm.

"Of course I am not here to provoke you in broad daylight because I have nothing better to do." Zhang Rui looked curiously at the shadow covering the living room, and then said, "Lord Wei should also know this, so he used the Ghost King Arm to create the power of Yinming to cut off the interference from the outside world, right?"

"Oh? Lord Zhang thinks so?" Wei Jiaming sneered, "Can't we just cut off the outside world to isolate Lord Zhang from aid?"

"Master Wei, you are joking. Since I dare to come here, someone must know that I am here. It's not like Shen Yuan's situation. How can I block the rescue just by blocking his aura?"

"Are you here for Shen Yuan?" Wei Jiaming was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't kill Shen Yuan."

"I believe in Lord Wei." Zhang Rui said with a smile, "The ability to isolate yin and yang is more suitable for Empress Ghost Phoenix than you."

Lord Wei frowned, "The records of the queen were secretly erased two dynasties ago. Among the existing noble families, the only ones that have records of the queen are probably some ancient noble families in the Shiwan Mountains. Where did Lord Zhang come from?"

"It doesn't matter where I come from. What matters is where Lord Wei wants to go in the end."

"What do you mean?" "Does Lord Wei really intend to go all the way?" Zhang Rui sighed, "You should be very clear about what the forces behind you are doing. If it really comes to the end, even if you succeed, is Lord Wei really willing to become that kind of existence?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Jiaming's pupils suddenly shrank, and the gloomy atmosphere in the hall became even heavier, but in the end he did not take any action.

Zhang Rui said in a gloomy voice, "You must have seen a lot of corpse transformation. Although the memory is still there, the person's personality has changed a lot. Do you think that you are still yourself after the corpse transformation?"

"Lord Zhang knows a lot." Wei Jiaming took a deep breath.

The ability of Ghost Phoenix Goddess and the Lord of the Underworld behind the scenes, using the Yin energy of the underworld to directly transform the living, can truly realize the dream of immortality. The ancestor of the Qin family is actually more than a thousand years old, older than the great ancestor of that year.

But as the other party said, is this corpse-like person still the same person as before?
Over the years, he has seen many people who have been transformed into zombies. Each of them has a drastic change in personality, and each of them gives him the feeling that they are not themselves.

Zhang Rui smiled. Although the other party's sighing expression was fleeting, it still made him certain that at least Wei Jiaming of the Wei family was not interested in the corpse transformation.

Ever since Zhang Rui suspected that the Wei family was in cahoots with the forces behind the Ghost Phoenix, he had been trying to split them up.

Wei Jiaming controls the Ghost King's arm. According to the setting of his previous life's novel, most of the Ten Kings of Hell were opposed to Corpse Ancestor becoming one of the Kings of Hell, and Hades was also opposed. In this era, Hades may be dead, but his powerful strength allows every part of his body to still become an evil spirit at the level of a Yin God.

The Ghost King Arm of the Wei family is like this, and so is the Eye of Pluto on Shen Yuan.

The dismembered Hades might not be able to maintain his complete divine consciousness, but it should be impossible for a zombie to control it. In other words, as long as they still need Wei Jiaming to control the Ghost King's Arm, it would be impossible to turn him into a zombie.

The same was true for Shen Yuan. They chose to forcibly take away Shen Yuan's eyes instead of turning him into a corpse. A big reason for this was probably that the thing in Shen Yuan's body could not support the transformation into a corpse.

The Wei family has been in Beijing for three hundred years, and the head of the family for three consecutive generations has been one of the Nine Ministers. Their descendants have enjoyed the best resources of the Great Jin Dynasty. Even if a new dynasty came, how much could their status be improved?

If you want such a top family to remain loyal for three hundred years, you can only use the temptation of immortality.

I haven't known Wei Jiaming for a long time, but I can see that he is a pragmatic and smart person. Would he really be willing to be tempted by the so-called immortality?
Do you really want all the descendants of the Wei family to become corpses that are neither human nor ghost?

"I don't ask Lord Wei to do anything, nor do I ask Lord Wei to reveal my information." Zhang Rui said sincerely: "Lord Wei can even waver at the critical moment. I guess they don't plan to let you enter the palace, right?"

Wei Jia hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "The number of places in the palace is limited, and they have to be reserved for important people. Originally, I was supposed to meet them outside the palace."

It's okay to send this information to the other party. The other party has already determined the affiliation of my forces and should be able to guess my situation.

"I will escort you, Lord Wei, to the palace. The forces behind you should not object."

"Master Zhang has done me such a great favor. What on earth do you want me to do?"

"I only ask for one thing. I hope that Lord Wei will make the right choice when the situation becomes clear."

"Master Zhang is so confident!" Wei Jiaming stared at him intently: "Do you know how many years that force you mentioned has been secretly planning? Even a sorcerer like Shen Yuan who holds the Nine Ministers Order can't even protect himself in the capital area. Do you think you can definitely gain the upper hand?"

"Whether it is possible or not, Lord Wei just needs to watch." Zhang Rui said with a smile: "I have not asked Lord Wei to reveal any key information, and I believe you will not violate the taboos they have set for you. As long as you are willing to stand on my side at the critical moment, we will be allies."

"Since you have already guessed that I have been forbidden, how can you make me your ally?"

"As long as you ask," Zhang Rui said with a smile, "I will naturally help you remove the taboo!"

Lifting taboos?

Wei Jiaming looked at the other person in disbelief. He felt it was ridiculous that the other person said this so lightly, even though he knew he was not joking.

How can a taboo set by such an ancient evil be lifted just like that?
But if it is really possible.
Wei Jiaming's heart, which had long since cooled down, began beating uncontrollably today.
　Make up for yesterday's overdue update. There will be two more updates in the evening, but they may be after 12 o'clock, hehe
