Chapter 1413

The more Kou Zhong dealt with people from the Demonic Sect, the more he realized why they were called the Demonic Sect.

Deviant and selfish.

In any case, Kou Zhong had never encountered a good person among the members of the Demonic Sect.

At this moment, hearing Master say that his helpers would be members of the Demonic Sect, Kou Zhong found it somewhat hard to accept. Could it be that without the help of the Demonic Sect, he could not unify the world and could not contend with the Cihang Jingzhai?

Looking at Master in front of him, Kou Zhong hesitated to speak, very much wanting to say these words.

Guiguzi also noticed the change in Kou Zhong's expression and knew that his disciple had an opinion about the Demonic Sect. In all fairness, after staying in this world for a while and knowing what kind of things the Demonic Sect members were, Guiguzi didn't have a good impression of the Demonic Sect either.

But since that "Dao Lord" had taken a fancy to the Demonic Sect, the Demonic Sect obviously had its merits.

Guiguzi said: "I know you don't like the Demonic Sect and are not very willing to accept the Demonic Sect as your helpers. Whether to accept their kindness, you can answer later. I am only a messenger, telling you the specific situation."

"Besides the Demonic Sect, before long, you will have another helper, and that is the Daoist School!"

Unlike the notorious Demonic Sect, the Daoist School was much more low-key. This was a righteous school in the true sense of the name. Over the years, it had once ranked below the Buddhist sects, and even the so-called loose practitioner Ning Daoqi, the number one expert of the Daoist School, had been reduced to a henchman for the Cihang Jingzhai.

Kou Zhong was shocked again when he heard Master say that the Daoist School would become his helper.

That the Demonic Sect would help him could still be guessed as Master coming from the Demonic Sect, and with the Demonic Sect having other intentions, it was very likely they saw his power growing and were preparing to speculate and support him as a puppet.

Then, what was the Daoist School after?

It couldn't be because they were unwilling to rank below the Buddhist sects, right?

But if this was the reason, why didn't they show dissatisfaction when Ning Daoqi helped the Buddhist sects in the past?

Kou Zhong became increasingly puzzled.

"Master, what exactly is this for? Why did the Daoist School decide to help me?"

Kou Zhong didn't think Master would lie to him; there must be a reason for all of this.

"The Demonic Sect and the Daoist School taking a fancy to you naturally has its reasons."

Guiguzi did not tell Kou Zhong the answer directly, but chose to keep him in suspense first.

"Oh?"

Kou Zhong looked at Master curiously, guessing in his heart: "Could it be that they are helping me for Master's sake?"

"That's it, Master's martial arts are peerless. If it were Master, perhaps he could really persuade some people in the Daoist and Demonic sects to come and help me."

Guiguzi shook his head and said: "I don't have that much face; I am just an idle person from the mountains."

"The reason the Daoist and Demonic sects are willing to help you is because a certain big shot has placed a bet on you and appreciates you very much!"

"A big shot?"

Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong first thought of the four great noble families and the many meritorious nobles, who were big shots in the true sense of the name to him, who had once mingled in the markets of Yangzhou.

So Kou Zhong was genuinely curious about the big shot Guiguzi mentioned.

"To the Daoist School, he is the Dao Lord; to the Demonic Sect, he is the Evil Emperor. Although I don't know how he took a fancy to a rascal like you, since you can be valued by that person, you must have some extraordinary qualities."

"Aren't you very curious why I came to your side and chose to help you?"

"If I tell you this is that person's order, do you believe it?"

Guiguzi didn't say much, but these few words brought Kou Zhong a shock that could not be described in words.

He didn't answer Guiguzi's words immediately, but fell into silence.

Whether it was the Dao Lord or the Evil Emperor.

Kou Zhong had never heard of them, but he could hear from Master's words that this was an unimaginable figure.

Such a figure had taken a fancy to him and placed a bet on him. Logically speaking, he should be happy.

Because when the Cihang Jingzhai selected an emperor on behalf of heaven, they didn't choose him, and he had felt indignant because of it.

But Kou Zhong at this moment didn't have any joy. He had imagined that others would value him because he had the qualifications to be invested in, not like this, where he didn't even know who the person behind the scenes was.

Could he win the world just because the other party took a fancy to him?

If that were the case, Kou Zhong would instead want to prove even more that he could win the world even without the regard of the person behind the scenes.

Kou Zhong had originally thought that Master coming to his side and assisting him was because Master had a discerning eye.

Now it seemed that was not the case.

Of course, he wouldn't develop a resistance to Guiguzi because of this. After all, during these days, Guiguzi had taught Kou Zhong many things. Kou Zhong had always been a person who valued affection and righteousness. In the original work, Xiang Yushan caused Susu's death, and after Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong learned the truth, they remembered the help the other party had given them in the past and chose to spare his life.

Of course, this mercy almost led to a major disaster in the end.

Kou Zhong was just feeling heavy-hearted because he learned some truth from Guiguzi.

Afterward, he was in no mood to chat with Master here, apologized, and left.

Guiguzi also knew why Kou Zhong was like this and didn't stop him. After all, this news was too shocking and indeed needed some time to digest.

After leaving Guiguzi's place, Kou Zhong found Xu Ziling.

After rescuing Susu from Xiang Yushan, Xu Ziling had been taking care of Susu.

At this moment, upon receiving Kou Zhong's message, he rushed to Kou Zhong's place immediately.

Kou Zhong didn't hide anything and told Xu Ziling directly what he had heard from Master Guiguzi.

"So, Master came to our side because of a mysterious person?" Xu Ziling looked at Kou Zhong and asked.

Kou Zhong nodded, "I am very happy that Master could tell me the truth, but at the same time, I am also very unhappy. Why should my fate be controlled by a stranger I have never met?"
