Chapter 275: The Circle Is Truly Chaotic (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Before long, a cold wind suddenly rose, and an evil pressure descended upon them.

Dugu Miss Qingli instinctively gripped her sword hilt.

A cackling laugh came from the cold wind: "Where did a righteous female swordswoman like you come from, and how do you have the... uh?"

Before the words finished, the voice turned into a tremble, the cackling laugh turned into an apologetic smile, and a withered, pale old man suddenly appeared from the cold wind, bowing so low his body was almost touching the ground: "I, I see Judge My Lord."

Lu Xingzhou said, "You know me?"

The Cold Wind Old Man said cautiously: "When I first joined the Yama Hall, Mr. Ji showed us images of important friends and enemies. Among them, the appearance of Judge My Lord was something Mr. Ji ordered us to remember firmly, saying that if we offended him, Tan Xinhong would be the example."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

The Cold Wind Old Man glanced at Dugu Miss Qingli's hand on her sword hilt and the chilling killing intent she unconsciously radiated, and said carefully: "Could it be that My Lord was threatened by this woman? My Lord, rest assured, with this subordinate here, I will immediately capture this woman and present her to My Lord..."

Dugu Miss Qingli: "?"

The Cold Wind Old Man quickly realized, and added another sentence: "So she is originally Judge My Lord's confidante; it was us who were out of line..."

Dugu Miss Qingli searched her mind for what kind of flower a "confidante" was, but couldn't find it for a while.

Lu Xingzhou really couldn't bear to look straight at him: "You should still deal with corpses; interacting with humans doesn't seem very suitable for you."

The Cold Wind Old Man smiled apologetically: "My Lord's teaching is correct."

Lu Xingzhou didn't bother to emphasize that he was no longer "Judge My Lord," but just smiled: "You were once a regional overlord, and now you are one of the Five Ghost Emperors, above ten thousand people but below the Yama Lord; why do you act like a small lackey? Even the Judge isn't your superior..."

"No, no, no, only Judge My Lord is above ten thousand people but below the Yama Lord." The Cold Wind Old Man hurriedly said: "Now the Yama Lord has issued an order for our Western Department to fully cooperate with the Judge's actions. I wonder what orders Judge My Lord has for this summons?"

Lu Xingzhou was almost rendered speechless by him.

Even in the past, he hadn't reached "above ten thousand people but below the Yama Lord"; mainly because his cultivation was insufficient, it was hard to convince others. Not to mention the faction of Tan Xinhong, even with his closest friend Ji Wenchuan, he couldn't possibly speak to him in the posture of a superior; he had always been on equal footing with the various Ghost Emperors.

Now that he has left, he has instead become "above ten thousand people but below the Yama Lord." This new Western Ghost Emperor really treats him like a master... it's truly hard to maintain.

He thought to himself that since the Yin Corpse Sect had such a level of cooperation, there seemed to be more things he could do; the original draft could be discarded, and a more direct method should be thought of.

Previously, when the "Yama Lord" took Little Bai Mao away, Ling Qixuan had watched. Now, even if he saw Little Bai Mao traveling alone, he would think this was a reconciliation between the Yama Lord and the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land, and would absolutely not dare to cause any more trouble. To find out how they intended to use Little Bai Mao as the array core, the original plan was to have the Cold Wind Old Man ask, saying that the Yama Lord regretted releasing Dugu Miss Qingli and wanted to know what Ling Qixuan's original train of thought was.

As for this plan, how to put it, Ling Qixuan isn't a fool; the probability of getting the truth is still low; one can only say to try as much as possible.

Now that the Cold Wind Old Man's cooperation is like that of a subordinate, another strategy can be thought of. For example...

Lu Xingzhou thought for a moment and asked Dugu Miss Qingli in a low voice: "Do you want to find out the connection between yourself and the Frozen Moon Cold River?"

Dugu Miss Qingli nodded: "Of course."

Lu Xingzhou said: "Then are you willing to make some sacrifice..."

Dugu Miss Qingli looked at him warily: "If it's that kind of thing you're thinking of, I'm not willing."

This person-machine even predicts human thinking; it seems because all the data fed to it previously was of that type, the reaction to related questions is extremely sensitive.

Lu Xingzhou guided him gently: "Anyway, it's not like it hasn't happened before..."

"Clang!" Dugu Miss Qingli unconsciously drew her sword, wanting to place it at his neck, but couldn't reach, so she just gripped it in front of her: "You are now my master's wife; even if you deliberately say to ignore seniority, it's useless!"

Seeing how Little Bai Mao had reacted so strongly... Lu Xingzhou helplessly pinched the sword tip and moved it away: "Where did you get that idea? What I meant is just to create the false impression that you were sealed by the Yama Lord and awarded to me. As for me, since I know the Ice Prison Sect wants to capture you, and have my own little calculations, I will use you to exchange for benefits from the Ice Prison Sect. This will be more convincing than the original plan of letting the Cold Wind Old Man ask on his own."

Dugu Miss Qingli looked at him suspiciously: "If it's just that, why say 'Anyway, it's not like it hasn't happened before'?"

"If I directly take you to the Ice Prison Sect, something will go wrong; the location must be set at the Yama Hall branch, our home ground." Lu Xingzhou said: "I will take you to 'play' at the Yama Hall branch, and send the Cold Wind Old Man to inform Ling Qixuan, asking if he is still interested in the Ice Soul Sword Body; if so, he can come to the branch to talk himself. This is both safe and more realistic."

Dugu Miss Qingli's blue eyes were like ice, staring fixedly at Lu Xingzhou without speaking.

Actually, her mind turned over several circles, dozens of circles, but couldn't find a way to refute Lu Xingzhou's scheme. No matter how she thought about it, it was indeed very realistic, very consistent with the conduct of demonic cultivators; Ling Qixuan was very likely to believe it.

Dugu Miss Qingli thought for a long time and said hesitantly: "Are you sure it's just acting?"

"Of course it's just acting; I can't beat you anyway; if I get serious, aren't I afraid of your divine sword?"

Dugu Miss Qingli thought to herself that if she really fought with him, her master wouldn't know who to help now; it was infuriating.

Oh, no, if I say you harassed me, my master will definitely beat you to death.

Thinking this way, Dugu Miss Qingli's courage suddenly grew; she sheathed her sword: "Then it's settled; where is the Yama Hall branch?"

The Cold Wind Old Man, on the side, had eaten a whole, complete melon; the ice melon of the Tian Shuang Kingdom was still very refreshing, just poisonous.
