465: Chapter 60 Chaotic Killing 465: Chapter 60 Chaotic Killing Wang Xie?

Xiao Jie’s heart skipped a beat, vaguely stirred—could this Wang Xie be related to that Evil Man?

During his time in Xuanxu Palace, Xiao Jie had noticed that some of these strange external incarnations sometimes awakened their independent wills, just like Feng Yilang before—who had clearly been an incarnation of the Evil Man yet had awakened his own consciousness, even changing his name from the Mad Taoist to Feng Yilang.

And he had even sought refuge in Xuanxu Palace and became a disciple.

Could this Wang Xie also be a name taken by a special Evil Man after awakening?

Judging from this name, this person likely sees himself as the strongest among the practitioners of the Evil Path, hence choosing the title ‘Wang’ which means ‘king,’ similar in concept to Feng Yilang’s choice of the name ‘Yilang,’ probably thinking he was the most special Mad Taoist.

It’s just that one wonders whether this Wang Xie’s actions are his own scheming or under the manipulation of someone behind the scenes?

As Xiao Jie pondered this, he heard Master Mingyue speak indifferently, “What Divine Army?

I think calling it a Demon Army would be more accurate.”

Xiao Jie was moved inwardly—could Master Mingyue have also guessed something?

After all, the Demon figures were created by practitioners from the Evil Path.

This was indeed something to be wary of…

Great Wilderness Hermit sighed, “Alas, what’s the difference between a Divine Army and a Demon Army at this point?

The worldly society is growing distant; the world is in chaos.

A great calamity is approaching, and all manner of evil spirits are emerging.

It seems the Land of Nine States will no longer be at peace.”

Master Xiao Yue inquired, “When is Long Wushang planning to raise his troops?”

Great Wilderness Hermit replied, “Wang Xie once divined for Long Wushang, suggesting he waits for the right moment, that when there’s a shift in the world, and multiple heroes rise up, it would be the day for the empire to be reborn.

Long Wushang trusts this person very much.

Hence, ever since he became the State Governor, he started recruiting and buying horses to accumulate strength.

Now Beiming State has already assembled tens of thousands of troops, including descendants of the Demon Race, the Barbarian Clan, Witch Clan from the northern mountains all under his command.

And that’s not all; Long Wushang is also extensively recruiting talented individuals, dispatching twelve Recruitment Officers across the Nine States.

Any person of talent in the wild, high-level individuals unnoticed in worldly society, all are being offered large sums of money to join his ranks, just waiting for the moment that divination comes true.”

Master Xiao Yue expressed his amazement, “Multiple heroes rise up?

Who are these heroes?

Aside from ourselves, could there be other forces in the Land of Nine States that we haven’t heard about, aspiring to seize the world?”

Longhua True Man suddenly said, “I’ve heard that recently a group of Returning Villagers have formed a nation, calling themselves the ‘First Dynasty.’ Could they be the ones referred to?”

Great Wilderness Hermit shook his head, “Yes and no.

According to Wang Xie, these Returning Villagers are ambitious and are bound to become a menace.

The First Dynasty is just the beginning; soon more Returning Villagers will establish kingdoms and seek to dominate the world.

Then, when heroes rise together and wars erupt year after year, the world will be in great turmoil, and it will be Long Wushang’s perfect moment to initiate his campaign.”

Xiao Jie listened carefully to the side, but in his heart, he already had a special understanding as a professional player.

It seems that Long Wushang must be a version boss!

Multiple heroes rise up…

This must be a condition set by the system for the release of an expansion pack.

It’s probably waiting for players to establish a certain number of nations before triggering the storyline where Long Wushang conquers the world.

Based on Xiao Jie’s gaming experience and understanding of the game, the developments could very likely unfold this way.

Just as he pondered, Master Xiao Yue suddenly laughed, “Speaking of Returning Villagers, I happen to have one here.

We owe the early detection of this crisis to this individual.”

At these words, all three esteemed individuals turned their gaze towards Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie felt a headache coming on and thought to himself that he was just a minor character; why did their discussion of the world’s great affairs have to involve him?

“Ah, esteemed sages, I am the Returning Villager Hidden Moon Following Wind.

Greetings to you all.”

Longhua True Man smiled and nodded, “Young brother, you’ve done well.

It seems among these Returning Villagers, there are indeed those with ambition, but there are also heroes and valiant warriors like you.

Very good, very good.”

System notification: Influenced by Master Xiao Yue’s recommendation, Longhua True Man’s favorability towards you has increased by 1 point.

Eh?

Just 1 point?

Master Mingyue looked at Xiao Jie, frowning slightly, “I seem to have seen you before?”

“Master Mingyue has a good memory.

Indeed, we once met at Xuanxu Palace when I accompanied a friend to deliver a Demon Talisman.”

“It was you…” Master Mingyue nodded, “Your friend had average talent but worked diligently.

It’s a pity that ultimately, he wasn’t cut out for Cultivation.

After learning some skills, he descended the mountain.

Have you seen him?”

“I have seen him, he has also arrived in Canglin State this time.

Does True Master wish to meet him?”

“No need.

What about Lingquanzi, how come he hasn’t arrived yet?”

Great Wilderness Hermit chuckled, “I reckon he’s mostly unlikely to come.

After the Group of Immortals secluded themselves, she has since then lived in seclusion and never shown herself.

I’m afraid she won’t make an appearance this time either.”

Master Mingyue nodded, “If she doesn’t come, so be it.

Merely a bunch of demons—what is there to fear with the four of us together?

Mr.

Xiao Yue, how about today we have a contest to see who kills the most?”

Master Xiao Yue didn’t quite get along with Master Mingyue and huffed at hearing this, “Hmph, I’m game.”

Longhua True Man, however, simply smiled and stroked his beard, “You two go ahead with the killing; the old Taoist will cover for you from above.”

Master Xiao Yue helplessly said, “Longhua, are you going to be lazy again?

Not this time.

Those Little Demons are not very powerful but are numerous in number.

If they swarm us, it will still be somewhat troublesome.

Don’t hold back later.”

“Of course, it will be so.”

“In that case, let’s begin.

The sooner we finish, the better—I still need to attend court tomorrow.” Saying this, Master Xiao Yue stretched out his hand, and a pair of silver-white Dual Blades appeared in his grasp.

With a swing of the blades, he charged toward the pitch-black abyss.
