The Azure Cloud Sect's Name Opens Doors
Little B, are you really tired of living? Song Fuan is sitting inside, are you going to go up and deliver vegetables to him?
Lu Ping decisively chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You slightly swayed your sleeves, raised your hand in a gesture of nonchalance, and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.]
"General Li, there's no need for such formalities. I am Lu Ping from the Azure Cloud Sect. I have come to the Demon-Severing Cliff with important matters to discuss with the Venerable Fu'an. Please convey my message."
[While the Spirit Transformation Stage is nothing to Song Fuan is at the Body Integration Spirit Transformation Stage, it represents an extremely high level of combat power in the Nine Central Regions.]
[Moreover, you have the Azure Cloud Sect, currently the most powerful sect, standing behind you.]
[Do you remember that during the third simulation, when the war between the two races broke out, the Azure Cloud Sect issued the Qingyang Domain Decree, summoning cultivators from the entire Azure Yang Central Region to aid the Demon-Severing Cliff?]
The major sects of the Nine Central Regions and the Demon-Suppressing Tower are inherently interdependent.
[Now that you've come to see me in your capacity as the Grand Supreme Elder the Azure Cloud Sect, you have every right to do so.]
[Both for public and private reasons, the Demon-Suppressing Tower has to give you this face.]
Li Jingshi dared not delay.
"Lord Lu, please wait a moment, I will report to the central command immediately!"
He stepped aside, took out Message Jade Talisman, infused it with Spiritual Power, and contacted his superior.
[You stand there waiting to be announced, your expression normal, but you feel a little embarrassed.]
[Just moments ago, Mountain Gate the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, you were brimming with confidence, believing yourself to be the force of the world, and that using the Azure Cloud Sect's name was utterly irrelevant.]
[As a result, the moment you stepped onto the territory of the Demon-Severing Cliff, you obediently put on the robes of the Supreme Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect Grand Supreme Elder and acted in the sect's name.]
This is a perfect example of breaking a promise and getting rich.
Lu Ping: "..."
System, are you mocking me again?!
Can this be called breaking a promise and profiting from it? This is called making flexible use of organizational resources and reasonably avoiding communication costs!
System, you've never worked a job. You don't understand!!
[A moment later, a blue light shone from the Communication Talisman in Li Jingshi's hand.]
[Li Jingshi scanned the area with his Divine Sense, then stepped aside to make way for the main path and extended his hand to guide the way.]
"Lord Lu, the Lord of the Tower requests your presence. Please follow me."
You nodded and stepped forward, walking along the main road of the Military Camp.
[Shortly afterward, a grand, dark blue-green hall came into view on the horizon.]
[Li Jingshi stopped a hundred paces away from the palace gate, bowed, and stepped aside.]
[You straightened your clothes and stepped into the main hall.]
[The main hall was spacious and quiet. A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, resembling an ordinary schoolteacher, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the sand table, surveying the terrain.]
Hearing footsteps, Song Fuan turned around, his gaze falling on you.
[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]
Seeing your current cultivation level, aura, and appearance, Song Fuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Straighten his posture and bow to Song Fuan with the Disciple's Rite.]
[B: A small Body Integration...]
[C: You suddenly slid to your knees under the sand table, grabbed Song Fuan's leg, and wailed, "Master! Your disciple has been bullied terribly outside! Quickly, let the Elder Zhen come out and come with me to smash those people, or your disciple won't get up!"]
Looking at Little B and Little C, Lu Ping's eyelids twitched.
It's one thing for Little C to act crazy on a daily basis, but why is Little B acting crazy this time too?
... wrong.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Looking back on the simulation so far, Little B has never been Qi Ingestion of his superior skill level when facing tough opponents.
From the smallest Golden Core, to the smallest Nascent Soul, then to the smallest Body Integration, and then to the smallest...
Little B, the host has misunderstood you.
You're not just tired of living, you're just incredibly stubborn.
Host, I promise you, next time we'll switch to the opposing faction.
Let's unleash a combo, high and low, and take them all down together, just as you wish.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You walked to the center of the main hall, straightened your robes, and bowed deeply to Song Fuan, performing the Disciple's Rite.]
"Junior Lu Ping pays respects to the Venerable Fu'an."
Seeing you perform such a grand gesture, Song Fuan's eyes flickered slightly. He neither questioned nor stopped you, but simply accepted the bow.
[After you straightened up, Song Fuan pointed to the seat next to him and spoke gently.]
"Young friend from the Azure Cloud Sect, newly promoted to the Spirit Transformation? What brings you to the Demon-Suppressing Tower to see me today?"
[You did not take a seat, but remained standing in the hall, your expression becoming serious.]
"Your Majesty, I have indeed come to report an important matter."
"Two years ago, while traveling in the Azure Yang Central Region, I accidentally discovered traces of Demon Race activities within its borders."
"Following the clues, this junior investigated for two whole years, both openly and secretly, and finally discovered that Zhu Wanshan, the Profound Beast Taming Sect Grand Elder in the Cangxuan Central Region, had long been secretly colluding with Great Demon in the Southern Lands Myriad Demon Domain."
[You revealed everything about the Blood-Congealing Five-Elements Pill, the Bloodline Reversal Great Art of Falling Crow Valley, and your plan to use transformed Demon Cultivators as anchors to help the Great Demon Avatar descend.]
Finally, you flipped your hand and took out a Jade Slip containing a pre-prepared Formation Diagram, presenting it to me with both hands.
"While secretly analyzing the Bloodline Reversal Grand Formation, I deduced this forced attraction Formation Technique and named it '《Crow's Arrival》'."
[When you said these words, you didn't blush or skip a beat; your expression was sincere.]
[Although you've spent most of the past two years battling wits and courage in the Domain of Chaos, busy making a fortune and finding your senior sister.]
[The so-called investigation into the Demon Race's whereabouts and tracking Zhu Wanshan were all tasks done in the previous version.]
[But is this information accurate? Did you personally devise the Formation Technique?]
[Every single detail is true, all obtained through your own investigation, not a single word is false!]
[You, Lu Ping, have always been an honest and trustworthy person, and you never tell a lie!]
Lu Ping touched his nose and nodded in deep agreement.
An investigation that spans across timelines is still an investigation, isn't it?
The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is accurate.
[Song Fuan reached out and took the Jade Slip, probing it with his Divine Sense. His previously peaceful expression immediately turned cold and stern.]
["Human transformed into demon, using his body as an anchor, forcefully summoning Heavenly Demon Avatar..."]
He put down the Jade Slip, looked up at you, and his gaze held a hint of approval.
"You were able to deduce the '《Crow's Arrival》' from that evil formation; Formation Dao mastery of formations is truly astonishing."
"Since you've even prepared the Formation Diagram, you must already have a plan in mind?"
[Options pop up.]
[A: Taking advantage of the situation, they proposed a strategy of substitution, luring the enemy into a trap, and trapping the enemy inside.]
[B: Please, Song Fuan, send troops out now and invade the Myriad Demon Domain to give them a small shock at the Body Integration.]
[C: You leaned closer to Song Fuan mysteriously and whispered, "Holy Lord, let's broaden our horizons! Instead of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, why not build a tollbooth at Demon-Severing Cliff? Every time the Chunwu descends, we can charge it 100 million in tolls, and while we're at it, sell it some Spirit-Binding Gauze to nourish its body. It'll be a win-win situation for both humans and demons!"]
