Chapter 332 Enemies and Friends
Yao Chen checked his soul and found nothing abnormal.
This was not good news. It meant that the strange creatures that were parasitic in his soul were very difficult to find.
A trace of bitterness appeared on his face. A dignified Medicine Master would actually fall into such a situation because of his disciple's betrayal...
And he encountered such a ghost thing when he was at his weakest...
In fact, although his soul was weak, it had stabilized and would gradually improve over time...
But he didn't expect...
"Alas, it's really like a dragon swimming and diving being teased by shrimps, a tiger falling into the plain being bullied by dogs..."
Yao Chen sighed heavily again, and after a while, he said:
"What do you want? We can make a deal..."
The spirit insects did not answer Yao Chen, but just made a messy mumbling, and it could be vaguely heard that they were repeating the same sentence...
"Return...Da...Qian..."
"Send...me...back to Da...Qian..."
"..."
"Return to Da...Qian?" Yao Chen looked puzzled, "Is it a certain place?"
He didn't wake up for long, and the fatigue from the depths of his soul made his consciousness blurred again...
This was because the spirit insects cut off the connection with his soul. Without this power, he naturally returned to the original state.
Although Amon parasitized Yao Chen, he could not completely control him. He just took advantage of his weakness to merge himself with him.
After all, the gap between their souls was too big and there was a fundamental difference. If Yao Chen was not so weak, even if he did not resist, the spirit insects would have found it difficult to do anything to him.
The black-haired girl came over and picked up the ring with a smile on her face.
The next moment, the smile froze.
A fist hit her face hard and knocked her to the ground. Payne and two guards beat her up...
"Are you so bold? You even dared to steal Young Master Xiao Yan's things?"
"If I don't teach you a lesson, don't you know whose territory this is?"
The girl hugged her head and curled up, looking like she didn't dare to resist.
However, it didn't hurt when the punches and kicks landed on her body. Except for the first punch, she was really hit. The subsequent beatings just looked fierce.
Xiao Yan walked over with Xiao Xun'er and said with a smile:
"Okay, stop pretending... Just bring the things back. I'm not so petty as to argue with a little girl."
"Hehe..." Payne scratched his head, picked up the ring from the ground, and handed it to Xiao Yan: "Master, here."
Xiao Yan took the ring, checked it, and after confirming that it was his, he set his sights on the girl.
Looking at her dirty little face that was a little swollen from the punch, Xiao Yan said softly:
"Why do you do such a business... If this was in the market of the Jialie family, you might not end up well now."
The girl got up from the ground and wiped her face. Because her hands were dirtier, there was more dust on her face after wiping.
Seeing that she didn't speak, lowered her head, and looked pitiful, Xiao Yan said:
"If you are forced by life, I still need a maid to serve tea and water. If it's for other reasons, just ignore what I said."
"Really?" The girl showed a look of surprise on her face.
"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.
"Master." The girl shouted in a joyful tone.
"What's your name?"
"Xiao Meng, my name is Xiao Meng."
"Xiao Meng? That's appropriate, you can call yourself Xiao Meng from now on."
The three big men whose purse was stolen by Xiao Meng had already caught up and had been watching from a distance.
Xiao Yan glanced at them and said, "Give them back."
"Yes." Xiao Meng took out the purse from his arms and walked over.
The leader of the three hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, just consider it as our apology for offending the master before."
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "You are quite tactful, but you don't need to, take it back... Don't let me see you making trouble in the market in the future."
"Yes, yes... We will definitely turn over a new leaf." The leader took the purse and left in a hurry.
Knowing that this was just some polite words, Xiao Yan didn't care and waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
After the three of them left, they opened their purses and were stunned. The money in the purse was missing by more than half.
…
In addition to the original Xun'er, there was another girl named Xiao Meng following Xiao Yan.
At a corner, two people wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes withdrew their sight.
They communicated with each other using the power of the soul.
One person said, "You really got into the Xiao family."
"Heh, interesting... the routine is quite useful." The other person pinched his right eye socket.
The fluctuations of the fighting spirit on the two people were very weak, not even the fighter.
"It fits the characteristics of the times, doesn't it?"
They and Xiao Meng were left behind after Gan Mu came to Wutan City.
Amon deliberately reserved a certain amount of volume for them, allowing them to develop freely.
The main purpose is to get close to Xiao Yan.
As the Soul Clan's millennium plan is about to begin, the time available for development is very tight, only thirty or forty years.
In such a short time, Amon is not sure whether he can grow to the point of competing with the Soul Emperor.
He was a ruthless man who was willing to sacrifice the blood of the Soul Clan and the entire Zhongzhou in order to become an emperor!
If necessary, he certainly wouldn't mind destroying the world and using all the creatures in the Douqi plane as nourishment on his way to becoming an emperor.
Of course, if it was just Emperor Hun Tian, Amon wouldn't be afraid. He only needed to steal the fragments of the ancient emperor Tuo She jade from the Xiao family and hide them to stop Emperor Hun Tian from becoming an emperor.
Unable to become an emperor, just a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, Amon could get rid of him sooner or later if he had enough time.
But the problem is that the crisis of the Douqi plane is not just Emperor Hun Tian, there are also the evil tribes outside the domain that are eyeing him covetously.
It won't take too long from Xiao Yan becoming an emperor to Tian Xie Shen breaking the seal.
If Amon hides the ancient emperor Tuo She jade in order to deal with Emperor Hun Tian, resulting in Xiao Yan not becoming an emperor as scheduled, then how should Tian Xie Shen deal with it next?
Without a top-level powerhouse like "Emperor Yan" Xiao Yan, the situation in the world is likely to collapse!
Amon can't get out of this universe until he reaches a certain level.
He was not sure if he could parasitize the evil tribe outside the domain... He was not sure if he could survive in the evil tribe outside the domain after the Great Thousand World was lost, and he was not sure if his parasitism could be hidden in front of a strong man like Tian Xieshen.
Therefore, he must not use the method of procrastination, which is the worst choice.
He must become an emperor!
He must go to the Great Thousand World!
Under such a premise, Xiao Yan, the protagonist of the original work, becomes particularly important.
There are only three known ways to become an emperor. One is the prototype of the emperor pill in the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, the second is the inheritance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and the third is to open the plane channel and draw in the source of Qi after someone becomes an emperor.
If you want to take the first path, you have to grow to the peak of the nine-star Dou Sheng in just over thirty years, and compete with Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and the emperor pill itself.
If you take the second path, if you want to obtain the inheritance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, you have to practice the Burning Decree, and then you will inevitably become Xiao Yan's enemy.
The third way is to pin your hopes on others, which is a slightly inferior choice when the first two ways are not feasible.
The only person you can pin your hopes on is Xiao Yan... As for pinning your hopes on Emperor Hun Tian? Void Devouring Flame is the best example.
Amon chose the first and third ways.
He would not be arrogant enough to think that he would be able to stand on par with Gu Yuan, Emperor Hun Tian, Zhu Kun, and the prototype of Emperor Dan in such a short time.
Therefore, while mainly taking the first way, he would take the third way as a backup.
As for the second way, it was not in Amon's consideration at all.
He was not of the fire attribute, and his innate nature was not compatible with the Burning Art. Even if he could find a way to change his attributes, not to mention how much time and energy it would take, he might not be able to practice successfully after the change.
Practicing the Burning Art is almost a gamble of life all the way! Wisdom, determination, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable.
Amon dares to take risks, but his risks are all "risks" when he is very sure or has a way out.
Practicing the Burning Art has no cost-effectiveness at all, and it will block the third way.
The resources needed to cultivate to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng are huge, especially for Amon's cultivation method.
If he wants to develop, it will definitely lead to some changes, which will have a great impact on the original plot. In order to maintain the third road as a backup, he must ensure that Xiao Yan's main opportunities will not be missed.
Therefore, he must make certain guidance and arrangements to make up for those "adventures" that were fanned away by the "butterfly's wings".
In addition, even if Amon's first road is successful, he will still support Xiao Yan, because the world needs the "Emperor Yan".
Maintaining the balance between the world and the evil tribe outside the domain is more conducive to Amon's layout, and it is more conducive to his better and smoother profit grabbing.
After choosing the path to take, who is a friend and who is an enemy has been determined.
Emperor Hun Tian, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun are all enemies, but they are enemies that can cooperate. Before the last moment comes, they can all serve as temporary "friends".
The Emperor Dan Prototype is an undisputed enemy. If you want to take the first path, you must take him down. The other party is also aware of this and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Xiao Yan and Amon have no fundamental conflict. They are not enemies, but the most suitable allies.
However, the form of cooperation between allies is also a question worth discussing. Amon will not give up the initiative.
If possible, he hopes that this "ally" can completely follow the path he arranged.
…
The Soul Clan is still busy with their millennium plan.
The Ancient Clan is immersed in its own glory.
Xiao Yan, whose talent has not been "lost", enjoys the admiration and worship of the people around him, and is in high spirits.
The eldest lady who enjoys her childhood is carefree.
In the shadows that no one knows, weirdness and terror are spreading...
A small town near the Warcraft Mountains.
… Mu She pinched the crystal-ground monocle on his right eye, sat at the recruitment office and smiled at the mercenaries who came to apply:
"Wolf Head Mercenary Group, welcome to join."
