I Am Loaded with Passive Skills-Chapter 4370 - 2029: Kneel Down (2)

It wasn’t long before a look of humiliation appeared on his face, and he could only change his words, saying, "Great Demon Ancestor, please spare my little junior sister’s life; whatever you want, I can give it."

...

Lord Shou, are you being manipulated?

The people of the Apricot Realm only understood the situation when Saint Xin, wearing Mu Zixi’s face, walked up from the Crystal Palace to the sky, and they communicated.

Similar confusion arose in the heart of Dao Qiongcang on the Shengshen Continent.

"Impossible!"

He immediately denied it.

How could Xu Xiaoshou be trapped by Saint Xin over such trivial matters?

Thinking again, the complexity of human emotions, from the very beginning of his cultivation to the end of sealing the ancestors and returning to zero, he actually had yet to fully understand.

He set up a Path Division but did not fully grasp the most fundamental emotional changes deep within himself.

In the end, even Dao Qiongcang himself, while appearing to cultivate the Heartless Path, secretly brought all the unstoppable regrets into the black memory mark of the divine palace, didn’t he?

If Saint Xin had seen through such actions in advance, he would never have gained the trust of Saint Xin from the beginning, nor had the chance to shatter the World Sealing Chains.

Similarly, Mu Zixi is too important to Xu Xiaoshou.

At this moment, outsiders may find it hard to understand, but put yourself in his shoes.

Dao Qiongcang suddenly realized that Xu Xiaoshou didn’t cultivate the Heartless Path, and if he allowed his junior sister to die before his eyes, his Dao heart could be damaged, maybe in no time at all!

"Not right."

Such thoughts flashed by, and Dao Qiongcang immediately detected something strange.

Though there was no power of guidance present, what he could no longer perceive, it was because he understood Xu Xiaoshou too well.

The variable on Mu Zixi, did Xu Xiaoshou truly not notice it beforehand and set things up in advance?

Although he did not know whether Xu Xiaoshou prepared anything in advance, whether he did or not.

Seeing his genuine display of emotion and the painful expression...

If nothing was set, Mu Zixi has nothing to do with himself, Xu Xiaoshou’s injury is his own matter, and he needn’t consider it further.

Therefore, Dao Qiongcang assumed there was a setup seventy percent of the time.

Then he is acting!

"Opportunity!"

The battle opportunity that ordinary people couldn’t detect; Dao Qiongcang instantly saw how this situation could be beneficial for him.

"I’ve only formed an alliance with Jin Ren, yet Xu Xiaoshou still views me as a great enemy."

"This guy doesn’t respond to hard tactics, but soft tactics can work; I can’t benefit from him directly, but I can from outsiders."

Is this outsider Mu Zixi?

No!

Dao Qiongcang’s brain rapidly calculated, directly pretending to be Saint Xin, analyzing what he could do with Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent:

"First, desecrate the name, using Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent to threaten Xu Xiaoshou and make him kill the people of the Apricot Realm."

"In doing so, the people of the Apricot Realm are terrified, leading to significant damage to Lord Shou’s credibility, and the power of the name weakens by seventy percent."

"Take it even further, sever the supply of name power altogether!"

"Second, make exchanges with Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent to trade for the power of the Life Medicine Pool on Xu Xiaoshou."

"But judging from the previous display of the Medicine Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor, it’s possible Saint Xin is not sure or even unaware that the Life Medicine Pool has been fully plundered by Xu Xiaoshou."

"This leads to a third."

"Third, harvest limbs, use Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent to threaten, making Xu Xiaoshou sacrifice parts of his limbs, it could be Hidden Bitter, his physique, self spiritual will, or even segments of the Great Path."

"As long as it’s within a range that truly hurts but is bearable, Xu Xiaoshou has no choice but to accept to keep Mu Zixi alive."

"Of course, this is based on the absence of Xu Xiaoshou’s prior arrangements."

After unraveling the logic, Dao Qiongcang still believed the first possibility was the greatest.

While Xu Xiaoshou might not intervene in the life and death issue of the Apricot Realm observers, but he had a chance to take advantage... no, flatter... no, help him, thereby redeeming his impression in Xu Xiaoshou’s mind.

Dao Qiongcang held back his thoughts, quietly spreading his strength from the Crystal Palace before Saint Xin launched, while the power from the reign of Late Legal Heaven had dissipated.

The power hidden behind memories, not easily discovered as long as it wasn’t directed at Saint Xin.

"Black memory mark, open!"

...

"Ha, what do I want?"

"This ancestor, do I need to seek any benefits from you?"

Above the Crystal Palace, Saint Xin had Xu Xiaoshou under control and concocted a plan, casting a glance toward the Crystal City below.

No!

Proceeding gradually is better.

Using Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent to repeatedly breach Xu Xiaoshou’s psychological defenses until he fully enrages and collapses.

Then, crush Mu Zixi’s spirit and intent in one move, driving him completely insane.

At that pivotal moment in the great battle, the outcome will also become clear, victory or defeat likewise.

Saint Xin sneered, casually using the Yama’s technique to point towards a distant Guiding City, roughly estimating, there are over three million cultivators, Xu Xiaoshou’s initial bottom line must be there:

"I ask you to take action to personally massacre the people of this city, Lord Shou, what do you say?"

What?

The people in the Guiding City targeted from afar only felt the heaven and earth nourish gloom, each reflected with bloodless faces and mixed fear in their eyes.

Ancestral God battles, why us?

Isn’t it said that when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up? Why should we little ones bear this upheaval?

"No way!"

"Lord Shou, absolutely not!"

"Xiaoshou, I love you, I was the first to willingly enter the Apricot Realm, my affection for you is no less than your junior sister, don’t act recklessly with killers!"

The people inside the city panicked.

Xu Xiaoshou was also frightened by Saint Xin’s craziness.

He planned for it, after all, this is just the beginning; if this drags on longer, he fears the entire people of the Apricot Realm might perish by his hand.
