Yao Dou is extremely proud, there is no doubt about this.
And his pride comes not only from his strength and talent, but also from the instinct in his blood.
After traveling around the world with Gu Haoran, he learned about his identity and that he was the ancient bloodline left behind by a powerful celestial being in the human world. That kind of blood is not noble, but it is extremely arrogant. It affects his character from the bottom up and makes him maintain a overlooking attitude towards everything, especially warriors of the same age and in the same realm. In his opinion, there is nothing worth mentioning at all. 'opponent'.
Including Lu Li.
Even though Gu Haoran and Dong Ao had high and high opinions on Lu Li, and even though Lu Li was indeed many times stronger than him, Yao Dou never really took this 'Manager Lu' who was about the same age seriously.
Of course, Lu Li is now known as the 'Devil King', and his reputation has spread throughout the Holy Kingdom. He is already a truly powerful person that all forces need to be wary of.
But when Yao Dou faced him, he would still put the two sides in a relatively equal position.
In the end, Lu Li just burst out with murderous intent and destroyed his 'mental defense'. His whole body felt like he was fished out of the water, and cold sweat ran down his back.
This strong difference made Yao Dou feel shaken and speechless for a moment.
If Gu Haoran hadn't arrived in time, Yao Dou really couldn't imagine that he would have been frightened and collapsed
Suddenly, Yao Dou felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw Dong Ao's calm face.
Dong Ao said nothing, but nodded slightly, the concern and encouragement in his eyes needless to be expressed.
Yao Dou felt certain in his heart, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "I will join the Earth Department."
He turned to look at Lu Li, "I want to join the Earth Department!"
"Little Yao Dou, don't agree in a hurry. Some things are not as simple as you think."
Gu Haoran smiled at Yao Dou, walked to sit down opposite Lu Li, and said angrily: "Do you really think what he said just now was a joke? My junior brother is now called the Demon King, not to mention full of He has bad intentions, and he definitely has no good intentions. Is he traveling all the way from Yanzhou to the Imperial Capital just to win over you, a mere idiot from the Immortal Realm?"
"Do you know that the warriors in the Immortal Realm of the Earth were used as cannon fodder by him before? Dozens of them chased the master and beat him. If they couldn't beat him, they would blow up their Xuanmen in exchange for their lives. If it weren't for the group of masters in Bazhou Without a little bit of blood, on that day, the land’s Immortal Realm killers will lose at least 40%.”
Gu Haoran didn't have any psychological burden at all when he started to make trouble, and he even took a leisurely look at Lu Li.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for a while, and you didn't give me a step when we first met. It makes me, a junior brother, very embarrassed."
"Now you know how to call me senior brother?"
Gu Haoran glanced at Lu Li, and between his fingers, a jade coin fell on the table, as if an invisible finger was touching it, making it spin upright.
About ten seconds passed, the jade coin stopped, and suddenly divided into three, and the three turned into nine, showing a hexagram derived from Gu Haoran.
Gu Haoran was not in a hurry to take a look, but just said to Lu Li: "Junior brother, you have caused such a big trouble, do you really not want to stop?"
"Not all divine religions are lunatics. People with ulterior motives like Jiang Taohua, for example, can be used by us at critical moments."
"In this world, where there is light, there is shadow, and where there is black, there is white. Don't use too extreme means to deal with everything, otherwise you will only plunge yourself into a place of no return."
Gu Haoran seemed to be advising, but in fact he was warning.
Lu Li glanced at him in surprise. This cheap senior brother of his knew quite a lot.
It is not difficult to tell from his words that he maintains a certain distance and fear from the divine religion. Although it is not considered fear, it is obvious that he does not want to be an enemy of the divine religion. More importantly, Gu Haoran seems to have some control over something that he does not know. Otherwise, given his character, he would probably not say such a thing. Ambiguous words.
"Is there a secret about Pope Shenguang or information about Pope Shenhua?"
This thought flashed through Lu Li's mind, but his face remained calm. He looked at the nine jade coins on the table and chuckled, "Brother, why don't you explain to me what this hexagram means?"
"'useless'."
Gu Haoran didn't hide anything and just spat out two words.
He took a deep look at Lu Li and said calmly: "It can be understood that this hexagram has failed, and it can also be understood that all junior brother's next actions must be in vain."
"Yeah."
"Then thank you senior brother for explaining the hexagram."
Lu Li nodded, but with a disapproving expression. He waved his sleeves casually, and eight of the nine jade coins instantly collapsed. Only the one that leaked out of Gu Haoran's fingers at first bounced slightly. Return to peace. Lu Li looked at this scene with a very interested expression: "The method of expansion is indeed wonderful. With this skill, senior brother will definitely have no worries about food and drink in the future."
"In this great world, you can hide yourself and live a very good life with your abilities, senior brother. Traveling around, experiencing all kinds of things in the world, and living a leisurely and contented life, junior brother, I also envy you."
"It's a pity that that's not what I want to pursue."
Having said this, Lu Li did not look at Gu Haoran anymore, but looked at Yao Dou and asked: "You still have a chance to regret it, so I ask you again, are you willing to join the Earth Department?"
When Yao Dou heard this, he did show a trace of hesitation on his face.
He thought of what Gu Haoran had just said, that Lu Li used immortal warriors as cannon fodder and casually ordered those people to blow up the Xuanmen and die together with the master, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Although Yao Dou believed that he would not be afraid of dying in battle, he was also afraid that his death would be worthless.
The self-destruction of Xuanmen and the Grandmaster died together. The way of death in which everything was destroyed under the loud noise made Yao Dou extremely hesitant.
"It's really something to think about."
"Tell me when you figure it out."
Lu Li did not force Yao Dou to give an answer immediately. Instead, he comforted him with a gentle voice, pressed the jade slip that could contact him in front of Yao Dou, then turned to look at Gu Haoran: "Let's talk about business now. , senior brother.”
He deliberately emphasized his tone above the two senior brothers, which made Gu Haoran couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Do you really want the Peach Blossom Sword?"
Hearing this, Dong Ao took a deep look at Lu Li and said nothing. Yao Dou recalled the flash of purple light before and the cold sword edge hovering between his eyebrows. The murderous intention that seemed to have taken shape made him feel a little frightened to this day.
It turned out to be the Peach Blossom Sword.
Yao Dou thought for no reason.
"Of course." Lu Li smiled at Gu Haoran and said, "Brother, you might as well tell me the price. As long as it's suitable, I won't pay any price."
This peach blossom sword is not that peach blossom sword.
Although when forging the 'Peach Blossom Sword', Lu Li used the forging method of the Peach Blossom Sword as the basis, integrated many swordsmanship manuals, and with the help of Qingtian Thunder Fire, he forcibly forged this flying sword. But over time, Lu Li discovered that even with the integration of those sword manuals, the operation of the Peach Blossom Sword was still somewhat stagnant. It was obvious that the forging method of the Peach Blossom Sword was too powerful. Even with the fusion of modifiers, those sword manuals could not compete with it. Match them up.
In other words, what Lu Li came here to ask for today was the inheritance of the 'Peach Blossom Sword Manual'.
This swordsmanship was passed down from the gods, and I only had a trace of the flying sword. With the strength of the material, it could play an unimaginable role in battle. Now that the Peach Blossom Sword has become one of his important means of attack, in order to completely perfect it, Lu Li must obtain the Peach Blossom Sword Manual.
Before coming to the Imperial Capital, Lu Li had already told Mu Hongxiu about this matter, and Mu Hongxiu also promised that she would remind Gu Haoran to 'fulfill' her promise as soon as possible.
Because the complete Peach Blossom Sword was one of the benefits Gu Haoran had promised, but in the end he did not fulfill this promise. At that time, Lu Li did not forge a new flying sword, so he did not pay much attention to this matter.
But it's different now.
With the Peach Blossom Sword, it is natural to get the Peach Blossom Sword Manual and try to further control this magical weapon.
