How to become a qualified villain Demon Lord

In the city lord's mansion, in the study, Lu Chengzhou, who had been treated by Mr. Li urgently, was put on the couch.

Although Lu Chengzhou's chest was stained with horrible bloodstains at this moment, and he was dying, there should be no fear of his life for a while.

Xie Feiyan didn't step forward and make nervous moves, but just observed Lu Chengzhou from a distance.

Xie Feiyan's eyes are not very good, and he doesn't want to wear glasses in front of others, so he can't see anything clearly at the moment, he can only vaguely see a very miserable mass of blood on the couch, and then he follows the subtle wandering spirit in the study. He searched hard, and soon found the dagger that had been thrown aside.

"Is this the weapon used by the perpetrator?" Xie Feiyan asked.

"Exactly."

Xie Feiyan approached the dagger, and felt that he could vaguely smell something - like blood, and like the smell of sea.

He turned around in the study room and found that behind the desk was the most bloodstained, and books were scattered all over the place, which looked like the first scene.So he squatted down/body, reached out his hand to touch the blood stain, trying to feel the murderer's remaining spiritual power response, but his eyes were quickly attracted by the blood-stained book, and fell on the familiar handwriting.

——Just an hour ago, he was still studying the proposal of the owner of the handwriting.

Xie Feiyan looked back at the bloody mass on the couch, thoughtfully.

He gently picked up the book, wanting to read it more carefully, but at this moment, he found that the edge of the blood-soaked book was slightly charred.

Scorched?Why?

Xie Feiyan was slightly taken aback, then picked up another scattered book and observed it carefully.

Yes, this book also has scorched edges on the pages.

He looked all the way over, and found that many pages of the scattered books were slightly scorched.Finally, he came to the place where Lu Chengzhou fell first, looked at the blood stains on the ground, and simulated the appearance of Lu Chengzhou's fall in his mind. Then, his eyes fell on the corner of the desk—— Here, there is a group of thin bloody scratches.

Xie Feiyan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, may I ask if City Lord Lu has anything in his hand?"

In fact, Mr. Li saw the black ball of paper clenched tightly in Lu Chengzhou's hand the first time he entered the study, but he didn't take it seriously. Now when he heard Xie Feiyan's question, he just answered truthfully: "The ball is a bit burnt. paper."

"Is there anything written on the paper?"

"No."

"Is the paper still damp?"

Mr. Li was surprised: "How do you know?"

Xie Feiyan sighed, pointed to the desk, and said, "Mr. Li, you can come over and have a look. When City Lord Lu was stabbed to the ground, he once made a movement."

Mr. Li looked serious, and quickly came to Xie Feiyan's side, looked in the direction he pointed, and quickly noticed the clue: "City Master Lu once put his hand under the desk... but it should be just a symptom of poisoning. Mr. Li said, "The dagger that attacked City Lord Lu was coated with a sea beast's poison. This poison will paralyze the limbs, and sometimes it will cause people to lose control of their hands and feet."

Xie Feiyan nodded first, then shook his head: "Mr. Li, look carefully at the blood stains and scratches on the ground. Do you think City Lord Lu convulsed after falling to the ground?"

Mr. Li paused: "No."

Xie Feiyan said: "The place where he fell to the ground was not far from the corner of the desk, but his limbs became weak after being poisoned, but he still tried to reach out to the corner of the desk. Why?"

Mr. Li is not a fool, he quickly understood, frowned and said: "You mean to say that the ball of paper in the hands of the Lord Lu is a message for us? But there are clearly no words on it."

Xie Feiyan said: "Words are not the only way to give people a message. Mr. Li, have you forgotten? Under what circumstances does paper become wet and charred?"

Without waiting for an answer, Xie Feiyan quickly continued: "The murderer who can subdue the city lord of the Golden Core Stage with a single blow at close range is definitely not an ordinary warrior, so the moment the dagger is thrust out, the dagger will definitely carry the murderer's spiritual power. In this way The spiritual power dissipated very quickly, so we can't feel anything now. However, when the murderer did it, the paper closest to the city lord recorded the characteristics of the murderer's spiritual power——wet, burnt black, this It is the spiritual power of mixed attributes of sea mines."

Mr. Li frowned slightly.

Xie Feiyan said: "If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, you can look at the books scattered on the ground. At this moment, the edges of the pages of the books are slightly scorched. It's just because of the blood stains, and the water attribute cannot be seen."

Mr. Li glanced at the book and said, "In this case, you—"

Mr. Li suddenly got stuck.

Originally, Mr. Li wanted to ask Xie Feiyan, since the books scattered in the pool of blood could only see the spiritual power of the thunder attribute, why didn't he think that the murderer was pure Lei Linggen, instead, based on the ball of paper in Lu Chengzhou's hand, he thought The murderer is a mixed spiritual root with mine properties?

But at the next moment, Mr. Li suddenly thought of something——

He thought of the only person in the city who is pure and simple: Mr. Yunxiao, Yun Buque.

At this moment, Mr. Li was in a cold sweat, and suddenly understood the real intention of the murderer.

It turned out that the murderer didn't want to pin the assassination of the city lord of Guangling City on the irrelevant Ning Fei, but on Young Master Yunxiao and the Daomeng!The reason why the murderer didn't stab Lu Chengzhou to death was not because he didn't have the means, nor because he didn't have the ruthlessness, but because he wanted to hold back Lu Chengzhou's life and force the Daomeng to seek help from outsiders. Lu Chengzhou invites famous doctors.

With more people, the study where Lu Chengzhou was assassinated is bound to be searched again, and the scorched pages in the study are bound to be found. By that time, the water stains on the books have long since been replaced by blood stains and dried up, leaving nothing but blood. The edge of the book is scorched black, so in the end, according to such clues, everyone can only infer that it is the murderer of a certain Lei Linggen. The despicable purpose was just that the sea beasts attacked the city, and all the monks around came to the city lord's mansion. In order not to reveal his identity, he had to flee in embarrassment, which was why Lu Chengzhou saved his life.

So here comes the question, in today's world, is there any cultivator from Leilingen who has such an opportunity, such means and such a reason to assassinate Lu Chengzhou?

——Naturally, only Yun Buqiu, the son of Yunxiao who came to Guangling City under the order of his teacher!

Mr. Li's scalp was numb, and he couldn't imagine that there were so many twists and turns hidden in this small page, and he couldn't imagine that Ruo Xie Feiyan didn't show up, and he left after Lu Chengzhou was out of danger. He turned his head to deal with the consequences after the sea beast attacked the city.

At this moment, Mr. Li's tone eased a bit, and said: "So that's the case, Fellow Daoist Xie is really as meticulous as a hair, which is admirable." He paused, and said, "Since the perpetrator is a person with the root of water and thunder, then Fellow Daoist Xie Is there anyone in mind?"

Xie Feiyan said: "I have guessed a person, but I am not sure, because when the Lord Lu was assassinated, that person was confronting me... However, there are too few people in Shuilei Linggen, I can't think of a second person. The reason why two people did this thing."

Mr. Li said: "Oh? Who is the person in the heart of fellow Taoist Xie?"

"Mr. Lu Duo's adopted son, who turned against Mr. Lu Duo ten years ago and disappeared after being chased and killed by the red guards—— Hu Yanji!"

·

Lu Chengzhou fell into a long dream.

Just like in the legend that a person would look back on his life before he died, he sat on the special seat in the dream and watched his boring life.

What Hu Yanji said to him, Lu Chengzhou remembered very clearly: This is a world where individuals cannibalize people. If you follow the tide and have no purpose, you will eventually be trampled into the mud. He Huyanji just stepped on the first place. Just feet.

Lu Chengzhou disagreed, because the person who stepped on the first foot was not Hu Yanji, but Lu Duogong.

In this world, who doesn't come from a frivolous young man who is full of ambition and thinks he can conquer the world?But such ambition is always easy to wear down, especially when you are not outstanding.

Back then, when Lu Chengzhou was selected by Mr. Lu Duo as his second adopted son, he was also ecstatic, ambitious, and wanted to work hard and show off his ambitions to serve the people of Guangling City. The common people seek happiness.

But blows followed.

He has a single spiritual root and a water spiritual root, but his talent in cultivating mental methods is not even comparable to that of the elder brother of the water thunder spirit root, Hu Yanji, and he has nothing outstanding in practice; he was originally a beggar, so he raised a She is reserved and timid, even if it is flattering, she can't say it smoothly, so she can't compare with the third brother Dongfang Gaome in favor.

Later, he managed to convince himself, thinking, if he can't cultivate and please his adoptive father, then maybe he can seek welfare for the suffering people of Guangling City and make Guangling City a better place?

However, on the first day he scolded the real power figures in Guangling City who robbed the women of the people, he was slapped to the ground by Mr. Lu Duo that afternoon in full view of everyone.

"It's so stupid!" Lord Lu Duo scolded him coldly, "Who do you think you are? You still want to stand up for those mortals? Little do you know that when you became my son, Lord Lu Duo, you were already standing in front of them You have spent so many years of food and clothing, which one has not been snatched from those mortals, or do you think they are willing to enshrine to you? If you want to stand up for them, then you must first give me self-destructive cultivation Why, get out of my Guangling City!"

Lu Chengzhou's heart sank at this moment.

Because at this moment he finally understood that he was actually no different from those who robbed women of the common people: what those people robbed was the skin of mortals, but what he robbed was the marrow of mortals.

He has no position to manage, and he is not qualified to manage.He can't control it, and he can't control it.

He... felt ashamed.

All the vigor of Lu Chengzhou's life was exhausted on this day.

So from then on, he closed his eyes and ears, drifted with the flow, and muddled through.Even if he was stepped into the mud by Hu Yanji in the end, he didn't feel like struggling.

—Perhaps dying like this is a good thing?

Lu Chengzhou was thinking almost indifferently.

Therefore, when the dream world came to an end and darkness gradually descended, he would follow the darkness and sink into hell without any regrets or struggles.

But in the gap between the dream world and hell, when he returned to the light, he heard vague words from the outside world.

"...now that sea beasts are attacking the city, and there are still unknown explosions in the city...how is Mr. Li going to deal with it..."

"...I have dispatched the Zhenhai Guards for the sea beast attacking the city, and I have also asked the Rune Armored Soldiers to investigate the explosion in the city..."

"...Although Zhenhaiwei are all monks, most of them are in the Qi refining period, and there are not many monks in the foundation building period..."

"...It doesn't matter, since Zhenhaiwei has always been Guangling City's sharp weapon against sea beasts, there are naturally ways to deal with sea beasts, not to mention that it's not the first time they have done these things, fellow daoist Xie, don't worry..."

Lu Chengzhou:? ? ?

That's it? That's it?

Sea beasts attack the city, how do civilians arrange it?How to arrange defense?How are the weapons arranged?Who will be in charge?Who decides offense and defense?

Now that Zhenhaiwei doesn't even have a serious commander, you just say "I've already sent Zhenhaiwei up" and it's over?

That's it?Can you be a little more amateurish? ! !

Lu Chengzhou sat up in shock in his dying illness, and tried his best to open his eyes.

He tried his best to wink and wanted to say something, but the toxin of the sea beast was circulating all over his body, and he couldn't do anything except roll his eyes. He, no one noticed his eyes.

Lu Chengzhou was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood.

You guys just look at me!

In front, the voices of the two people continued, clearer and more real than the voices in the dream.

"Mr. Li, with all due respect, the battle between Guangling City and sea beasts is like a war. Although Zhenhaiwei is a veteran, a soldier must have a general and a commander. Now Zhenhaiwei has neither general nor commander. In the chaos, if Mr. Li doesn't care about anything and just let Zhenhaiwei go to defend the city, I'm afraid Zhenhaiwei won't be able to defend Guangling City in the end."

"Thank you fellow daoist for worrying too much. No matter how fierce the sea beast is, how can it compare to monks? Now that we have so many monks present in Guangling City, even if the Zhenhai Guards can't defend Guangling City, are we still afraid of the sea beast?"

"We monks naturally don't have to be afraid of sea beasts, but mortals are. If Zhenhai Guards can't defend Guangling City, mortals will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. What will happen to Guangling City then?"

"Thank you, fellow daoist, you are too kind of a woman. We monks are helping mortals by resisting sea beasts. Why do we need to rush forward like this? If mortals die in the attack of sea beasts, it is destiny In this way, the culprit is the evil sea beast, and if the mortal survives by chance and supports us monks to take action, then it is also the destiny, and we have kindness to the mortal. What's more, Guangling City can develop so far because of the Guangling City Lord's Careful management and the full support of our Dao League, what does it have to do with mortals? It has been like this since ancient times. It is our monks who are kind to mortals. Responsibility. Thank you fellow daoist, don’t put the cart before the horse and ignore cause and effect.”

"Oh, is it?"

That "Young Master Xie" gave a low laugh. I don't know if it was a disdain to ridicule, or a self-deprecating helplessness that Lu Chengzhou has sighed countless times over the years.

But at this moment, Lu Chengzhou, who had drifted with the tide all his life, finally burst into boundless anger in his heart at the last moment of his life.

——Why are these monks always so arrogant?

——Why do they never bow their heads to pity those mortals who are prostrate on the ground after they have extraordinary strength?

——Why can they forget that they were just one of the mortals struggling in the mud in the beginning? !

Even a bastard like Lord Lu Duo could see all this clearly, and told him coldly that the prosperity of Guangling City and the nobility of the monks were all based on knocking the bones and sucking the marrow of mortals, and in this Dao League, the eyes are higher than the top. Why can the monks in the world think that they have great kindness to mortals?

What kindness do you have towards mortals?

Is it the kindness of using them as cattle and sheep?Or is it the kindness that allows them to save themselves when danger is approaching?

Is it the kindness that made them have to sell their sons and daughters to worship your practice?Or is it the kindness of treating them as abandoned children at a critical moment?

so hateful.

so hateful!

so hateful! !

Lu Chengzhou struggled, the anger and unwillingness surging in his heart made him ignore it, tearing his spiritual power to circulate around his body, dissolving the poison of the sea beast bit by bit.

In front of the bed.

The dispute continued, and the words got deeper and deeper.

Xie Feiyan dismissed Mr. Li's words in his heart, and even couldn't help but want to ask him "Are you an idiot" repeatedly, but for the sake of the overall situation, he suppressed his discomfort and wanted to persuade this layman who knew nothing about war.

But when Mr. Li was old, he didn't have the open-mindedness of the old man, but he had the stubborn opinion of the old man. No matter how well-founded Xie Feiyan persuaded him, he dismissed it.

At this time, because Xie Feiyan had cleared himself of his suspicions, the monks from the surrounding schools no longer avoided suspicion, and gathered in the study curiously, surrounding the study. It seemed that Mr. Li and Xie Feiyan who were arguing in the middle of the study looked like It's like pros and cons in a debate contest.

It's just that as the opposite, Xie Feiyan has become more and more irritable, especially when he is listening to the explosion and calling for help outside, but in front of him is a group of monks who have nothing to do with him. He can't help but grow dark anger in his heart .

——Is this a barrier from the world?Or is it a class barrier?

Xie Feiyan couldn't explain clearly.

Finally, Mr. Li was disturbed by Xie Feiyan's entanglement, and he said unhappily: "Xie Daoyou, although you have helped my Dao League, it does not mean that you can intervene in my Dao League's affairs! Now you are persuading me to go to the seaside to command Zhenhaiwei—what position and identity are you trying to persuade me?!"

Xie Feiyan didn't answer.

It's not that he's at the end of his rope, but that Xie Feiyan has already understood that such topics, cognitions and contradictions between monks and mortals are like a moat between him and everyone, and he can't persuade them with a few words.

But now that time is tight, there is no time to chat with people here - if he wants to do something extraordinary, he must resort to some extraordinary measures.

Xie Feiyan lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes became colder.

However, at this moment, a subtle sound suddenly came from behind everyone.

"What is his position...what is his identity? Heh...since everyone is here, please bear witness for me..."

Everyone was shocked and looked at the bed.

There, Lu Chengzhou with a bloody hole in his chest was as white as paper, and sat up with difficulty.

"Now... I am... not long to live..." Lu Chengzhou took a breath, closed his eyes, and looked at Xie Feiyan complicatedly, "And since...you Daoist Xie used the name Ning Fei...to Guangling for me... City... to drive out hundreds of thousands of sea beasts for my Guangling City...then it must be a trustworthy person..."

Lu Chengzhou finally remembered Lu Hanyan's words scattered in the wind back then, and finally understood her sorrow.

——In this world... whoever wants to be a good person must first become that wicked person...

——But how many people in the world can understand this evil...

——Brother...I have never blamed you, nor anyone else... But if possible, I still hope that you can make such a person not have to be a villain...

Lu Chengzhou took a deep breath and stabilized his tone.

"I can die...but Guangling City can't fall...it can't be messed up..."

"So everyone...just be a witness for me..."

Mr. Li noticed something, and his face changed suddenly: "City Lord Lu! Don't worry too much, your injury will never mention death! Think about your hard work for so many years, think of your suffering for so many years! City Lord Lu, are you willing to give up halfway like this?!"

Mr. Li wanted to stop Lu Chengzhou, but in front of all the disciples and under the eyes of everyone, he could only remind Lu Chengzhou in this way.

But Lu Chengzhou ignored him.

For the first time, Lu Chengzhou ignored the words of Mr. Li from the Daoist League, and for the first time did not back down in front of the "deputy city lord".

He stabilized his tone, and said in a deep voice: "In the name of my second Guangling City Lord Lu Chengzhou, I hereby willingly hand over the position of City Lord to Xie Feiyan, fellow Taoist."

"From this moment on, Fellow Daoist Xie Feiyan is the legitimate master of Guangling City. All matters related to Guangling City can be decided by Fellow Daoist Xie, and no one under Guangling City can disobey it."

"This statement is evidenced by the way of heaven!"

There was a sudden thunder, as if responding to Lu Chengzhou's oath.

The bright thunder light illuminated Mr. Li's bluish and black face, as well as Xie Feiyan's astonished expression.

Xie Feiyan couldn't help but think of the ball of paper clenched tightly in Lu Chengzhou's hand, and of Lu Chengzhou's drifting with the crowd and being silent ten years ago; The plan in the river...

He took a deep look at Lu Chengzhou, and slightly cupped his hands:

"I will live up to the entrustment of City Lord Lu."
