Chapter 1158: The Art of Kingship, the Law of Checks and Balances, the Only Contact with Xuyue Huigong

Chapter 1158: The Emperor's Art of Checks and Balances, the only contact person in Xuyue Gray Palace!

"Do you want to join the First Floor in Heaven?"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly sent out an invitation. He already looked down on the others and didn't want to get to know them.

Now, he just wants to get the person in front of him!

Li Fugui looks ordinary, but is full of intrigues. Xu Xiaoshou has been observing and can see this.

If it's an enemy, this guy is very scary, so it's best to kill him first.

But if you are one of your own...

It's great to be evil. If you're not evil enough, I won't like you enough!

The key is that this person's ability is also extremely outstanding. He has sneaked into Banyueju, which can be used by the Eight Masters as the first intelligence agency of the Saint Slaves, and has also joined the Flower and Grass Pavilion.

It can be seen from the "Eighteen Orders of Flowers and Grass" that this person was at least among the top eighteen in Ban Yue.

Eighteen may seem young, but if Eighteen is to the five regions of the mainland...

Li Fugui, in any realm... No! Perhaps even if he were given the command of an intelligence agency that governed half a region, he would be qualified to be the top leader.

This ability is quite good!

And judging from the fact that he knew so many internal secrets of the Holy Slave, more than he knew, Li Fuguitie was even more unlikely to betray.

how to say?

He has high cultivation, wonderful attributes, good brain, and strong ability... He is also an intelligence officer and knows the rules of survival in the dark world!

Xu Xiaoshou really couldn't find anyone more suitable than Li Fugui to take charge of the intelligence work on the first floor of the sky.

The way he looked at Li Fugui now was full of greed.

Black night child, white night child? I do not recognize!

Eight familiar people? Just dig it!

And if it was Ba Zunzhen, he should be able to better understand how much he needs Li Fugui, right? Should he let him go? ...!

"call."

Li Fugui breathed a long sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face.

His smile and eyes looked a little complicated to Xu Xiaoshou, with gratitude, struggle, regret... everything.

"I'm sorry, Lord Shou, the Flower and Grass Pavilion has been a nurturing gift to me, and I can't leave it easily."

"Even though we are both Saint Slaves, we are in charge of different parts."

"If I leave so suddenly, some functions of Ban Yue Ju will not be able to function properly, whether actively or passively."

"so……"

All the emotions on Li Fugui's face were finally turned into apologies and regrets.

He did not continue, but Xu Xiaoshou understood what he meant.

"I was rejected!"

It is expected and reasonable.

Xu Xiaoshou's expression returned to indifference. If it were someone else, he might have given up, but what he was thinking about at this moment was the scenes he saw in "perception".

Without Feng Xiaose's knowledge, Xu Xiaoshou had seen Li Fugui readily accept the olive branch he offered.

At that time, Xu Xiaoshou judged Li Fugui as a smiling tiger, smiling on the outside but hiding a knife behind his back.

This is intuition.

He thought that if he extended an olive branch, he would get such a pretentious agreement from Li Fugui.

Unexpectedly, this guy seriously refused!

what for?

"So, he wants to join the First Floor of Heaven, otherwise he would not show such a strong ability in front of me. This is the same as Zhu Yiyi."

"But due to the relationship between Ban Yue Ju and Huacao Pavilion, he didn't even dare to say this clearly."

"Well, if my understanding is correct..."

Xu Xiaoshou took a deep look at Li Fugui, put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, nodded and said:

"I see."

Li Fugui waited for a long time for Master Shou's short reply. Surprise flashed in his eyes, but only for a moment.

Soon, he suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, worked diligently as an intelligence officer of the Holy Slave, serving the higher-ups, and said in passing:

"Master Shou, I may have to remind you of something."

"explain."

"The cat you just took out, is it called... Greedy God?" Li Fugui hesitated.

Xu Xiaoshou was slightly surprised, "Yes."

Without waiting for Li Fugui to say anything, he immediately reacted.

Greedy God originally came from the Southern Territory and was sent by Xuyue Gray Palace Caramel Candy.

It also comes with a Xingugu as a gift and a contract with a ghost beast that has never been touched so far.

Li Fugui's base camp is in the Southern Territory, and he is still engaged in intelligence work. There is no way he doesn't know about Xu Yue Huigong, the overlord of the Southern Territory.

He must have carefully studied things about ghosts and beasts.

As for Greedy God, it seems that his status in Xuyue Gray Palace is... not low either?

"Say." Xu Xiaoshou said as he thought.

Li Fugui discovered another characteristic of Master Shou.

No matter how much this man knows, he likes to hide it and wait for others to tell him everything they know.

As for him, he chooses what he doesn't know and fills in the gaps to prevent others from seeing what he doesn't know.

This is a kind of camouflage layer.

Combined with Shouye's consistent protective color - multiple identity nesting, we can actually deduce a very obvious point.

In other words, the city is deep, or there is no sense of security...

Or maybe, both!

Li Fugui showed no trace of thinking on his surface. After hearing the instructions, he immediately told everything he knew:

"The God of Greed is the holy beast of Xuyue Gray Palace. He inherited the extremely special innate ability of the first generation of ghost beasts, Devouring."

"This attribute is very rare. There were only a few people in Xuyue Gray Palace when it was founded, and it was far from the scale it is today."

"But the six leaders are very powerful, and one of them has this devouring ability."

"According to his deduction, after he transformed, he cultivated into a Devouring Body!"

"The one from the Five Absolute Bodies?" Xu Xiaoshou was surprised.

He hadn't seen the so-called Devouring Body yet. The Greedy God only had the Devouring attribute. He couldn't see anything disgusting about it at the moment. He could just eat. Well... being able to eat was a blessing.

Xu Xiaoshou had experienced the Decaying Body, which was on par with the Devouring Body.

The Five Decays of the Celestial Beings had extremely disgusting abilities, and they were the ones Xu Xiaoshou was least willing to face at the moment.

It was said that the Five Absolute Bodies were all very disgusting, and the real Devouring Body was probably no exception.

There was no sign of the Greedy God at the moment.

But...

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly remembered what Caramel Tang had said, that the Greedy God couldn't kill or drink blood, and so on. Was it related to this?

"Yes!" Li Fugui nodded, "It was the Devouring Body, the first of the Five Absolute Bodies, and it was well-deserved."

"What abilities does the Devouring Body have?" Xu Xiaoshou was curious.

"Like the Devouring Attribute, this physique can first swallow everything in the world into the body, turn it into energy, and use it for its own benefit."

"But the Devouring Attribute can only digest energy and replenish itself... The most essential difference between the Devouring Body and the Devouring Attribute is that it can plunder!"

"Plunder?" Xu Xiaoshou lowered his eyebrows and chewed on the word.

"Yes, in fact, strictly speaking, this is also devouring, but it has become the avenue, rules, abilities, etc., and can all be devoured."

"And, the abilities devoured by the Devouring Body will no longer have the process of digestion and conversion into energy. It can be used directly by the owner of the Devouring Body."

This is so shocking!

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes widened for a moment, and he said in disbelief: "Can everything be devoured? What about the power of attributes?"

"Yes."

"For example?"

"For example, if the Devouring Body swallows the Yuling Drop, then he will have the water attribute, will inherit most of his abilities, and with a small probability, there is also a chance to cultivate the mysteries of the water system... Of course, this is the most extreme example."

Li Fugui gave an extreme example, and Xu Xiaoshou understood it instead.

This really means swallowing everything, and he did not misunderstand.

"So, it is because of this person that Xu Yue Hui Palace has become the current overlord-level scale?"

"That Devouring Body is Sha Sheng Luo?"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt that the Greedy God in Yuan Mansion had become more important.

Obviously, he has such a great background, what did he use it for?

Refining pills!

The Greedy God, who has the potential of a Devouring Body, trained himself to be a pill-refining cat!

Well, it's not bad, at least I have achieved pill freedom...Xu Xiaoshou tried to comfort himself.

"Sha Sheng Luo?" Li Fugui was stunned when he heard the voice.

"The Palace Master of Xu Yue Hui Palace... um? You don't know him! So their Palace Master is not called this name?" Xu Xiaoshou's face froze.

Li Fugui glanced at him, not knowing what Shouye had misunderstood.

But Master Shou was ignorant. He had already summarized this point. At that moment, he stated everything in detail:

"The current Palace Master of Xuyue Hui Palace, that is, their seventh-generation Palace Master, is called Bai Zhou. He is a conservative and of the same generation as the Eight Lords."

"And I also remember the Shashengluo you mentioned. He is one of the 'first generation of six Xu'... Six Xu refers to the six leaders when Xuyue Hui Palace was first established."

"Shashengluo is of the same generation as the one with the Devouring Body. He is also the only 'first generation of six Xu' whose name is recorded in our Huacao Pavilion. As for whether he has fallen now, there is no way to find out."

"Oh, right!"

After a pause, Li Fugui added another hot knowledge, "Ghost beasts, they originally called themselves 'Xu beasts', and the Xu creatures came from this."

The first generation of six Xu, the seventh-generation Palace Master, Bai Zhou, Xu beasts...Xu Xiaoshou was silent for a long time, his face was sometimes green and sometimes white.

Li Fugui just stared at Master Shou's performance of changing his face, and did not dare to ask the reason.

This is clearly the performance of a victim. I wonder who has such great ability to deceive Shouye.

Curious...

In Banyueju, Li Fugui took over a task and met a semi-saint. I heard that it was Shouye who tricked him.

Since then, the intelligence about Shouye in Banyueju has risen to the highest level.

And the personnel of Huacao Pavilion, the intelligence headquarters, must receive all information about Shouye as soon as possible, just to cooperate with the action.

But this is passive cooperation.

Because even if Banyueju mobilizes energy to investigate Shouye, it can't catch any traces of his "purpose of action".

There has never been a clear instruction on the direction of Shouye's action from the Saint Slave Headquarters.

But the only task related to Shouye was issued:

"Increase the influence of Xu Xiaoshou."

This was an order issued by Lord Ba Zun An himself.

Huacao Pavilion responded immediately, and the title of "Shouye" has been widely circulated in the South Region since then, and finally spread to the Five Regions.

These are all things that have begun to ferment in the recent stage.

Li Fugui boldly guessed that maybe Shouye may not even know these.

After all, he didn't even know Lord Heiyezi and Lord Baiyezi.

Damn the Five Decays of Heaven and Man... Xu Xiaoshou on the other side could only curse the masked man of the King of Hell afterwards.

He quickly restrained his emotions and asked, "How many of the first generation of Six Xu are still alive?"

"I don't know about that. Now they are all listed as taboos by Xuyue Gray Palace." Li Fugui said.

"What about the Devouring Body?" Xu Xiaoshou wanted to know more about the information about the Greedy God.

"I know a little bit about this, but the source of the information is not very reliable. Whether it is true or not, Mr. Shou has to make his own decision."

Li Fugui said, with a look of regret in his eyes, and said:

"The Devouring Body one became prosperous very quickly, and naturally attracted the attention of the Holy Temple."

"It is rumored that the five holy emperor families have taken action. We don't know the specific situation, but the swallowing body rises quickly and disappears quickly."

"There are not many legends left behind by him. It is like evaporating from the world. His traces and deeds have disappeared together."

"The only thing that people remember is this person's physique - the Devouring Body, the first of the five great bodies. This is the only one in the world, and he deserves it."

Li Fugui stopped as he spoke, as if remembering something, he turned his head and asked, "Does Mr. Shou know that the Holy Temple is also studying ghost beasts?"

Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes and thought of the young man in red he met in the white cave, "I know a little bit about it."

Li Fugui nodded, thoughtfully, and said:

"The Holy Temple has captured a large number of ghost beasts. It is normal to conduct research, but there is no news yet."

"The Gray Palace in Xuyue has achieved results, but I don't believe that the Holy Temple has achieved no results."

"So I'm not afraid of them making any noise. I'm just afraid that they won't say a word and suddenly make a big splash. That would be very scary."

"I will pay attention to it." Xu Xiaoshou heard the hints in Li Fugui's words. After writing them down, he turned to ask, "You said Xu Yue Gray Palace has achieved results?"

"Yes." Li Fugui looked over and said seriously:

"Feng Xiaose is the obvious result. Coming out of the Xuyue Gray Palace, he must contract ghost beasts, but he no longer needs to rely on the control of objects."

"In this case, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to show off the power of ghosts and beasts and is not seen by the people in the Holy Temple, there is nothing that Red Clothes can do against him."

"Big background, strong combat power, perfect fit with ghost beasts, possible special abilities..."

Li Fugui had a sigh on his face, "Besides assassination, I don't know how Hongyi can obtain new achievements like Feng Xiaose, at least not openly."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

So this is why Feng Xiaose dares to walk on Void Island without hiding his identity?

Indeed, with the Feng family in the Southern Territory behind them, the Seven Sword Immortals were all arranged by them.

If the Holy Temple wants to touch this traitor of the Feng family who doesn't know the truth or lies, they have to face the two overlords of the Southern Territory. The Southern Territory is not their territory yet.

So, you have to think twice before you act.

"Master Shou."

Li Fugui sounded a little more serious and put forward his own suggestion: "When we go out later, we won't kill Feng Xiaose. He can use it. Life is more valuable than death."

"What should I say?" Xu Xiaoshou wanted to hear this person's opinion.

Li Fugui cleared his throat and took a deep breath. He saw how much Master Shou valued him, and he said seriously:

"The main war faction in the Xuyue Gray Palace only targets the red ones in the Holy Temple. They are not the enemies of our Holy Slaves."

"Master Bazun has been looking for ways to cooperate, but the current owner of Xuyue Gray Palace is Bai Zhou, who is from the old school."

"The purpose of the Holy Slave is completely opposite to Bai Zhou's idea, so Palace Master Bai Zhou refused."

Li Fugui had regret on his face and continued:

"The main purpose of the old-school people is to find a gentle way to solve the problem under the pressure of the red clothes."

"What they follow is the original purpose of the Xuyue Gray Palace when it was built, in order to protect most of the ghost beasts."

"Starting a war with Hongyi and the Holy Temple will definitely result in countless casualties. This is something they don't want to see."

Xu Xiaoshou frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but interject, "But Hong Yi's actions never stop."

Li Fugui twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at the ignorant Master Shou, and replied quickly without leaving any trace:

"Yes, Hong Yi's actions against ghost beasts have never stopped."

"But because of the existence of the conservative faction in Xuyue Gray Palace, Hongyi has rarely targeted Xuyue Gray Palace directly or on a large scale."

"And this is what enables both sides to maintain their vitality and coexist."

Xu Xiaoshou understood.

Because the palace owner is a white man and a conservative, everything can still be discussed.

But if only the main war faction is left in Xuyue Gray Palace, then everyone can put aside all worries and start the war directly.

Either you die or I die.

But no matter which side is gone, the other side will be greatly damaged.

At this time, the wolves that were watching behind the scenes could move, such as the Holy Slave.

"That palace master must be very difficult to deal with, right?" Xu Xiaoshou laughed and mentioned casually.

Li Fugui glanced at Master Meng in surprise.

What a quick response!

He clearly doesn't understand Xu Yue Gray Palace at all, just like he doesn't understand Ban Yue Ju and Huacao Pavilion.

But in just a few sentences, you can figure out the position of Palace Master Baizhou?

"Yes, it's very difficult to deal with!"

"Whether it's active or passive, at least Palace Master Baizhou can only show no response!"

Li Fugui added another comment to Master Shou in his mind: "You are more intelligent than a demon" and then said:

"But Palace Master Baizhou is also an ambitious, thoughtful, and capable person."

"He was also looking for the right answer to solve the problem and took action."

"That's the inner island of Void Island!"

"Inner island?" Xu Xiaoshou thought the answer was his. After all, Greedy God had put it on his lips.

Li Fugui nodded.

"It's the inner island!"

"Some powerful ghost beasts cannot be killed at all and can only be suppressed."

"After knowing that a large number of ghost beasts suppressed in the inner island of Void Island showed signs of escaping, Palace Master Baizhou began to act."

"His actions were very secretive. The reason we know is because of you." Li Fugui looked at Xu Xiaoshou steadily.

"Me?" Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

"Yes, Palace Master Baizhou first looked for the ghost beasts that escaped from the inner island, but the effect was average."

"Because when it comes to the inner island, we can't do without Lord Ba Zun An, who is the master of the black and white veins."

"And the ghost beasts that can escape from the inner island mostly accepted help and received tasks from Lord Ba Zun An, and very few can escape on their own."

"Palace Master Baizhou, or the conservatives, had the best effect when they almost found the Holy Emperor Fengtian."

"This was the closest time they were to success, because the people of the black veins were not very obedient."

Xu Xiaoshou recalled the lawless gray fog man Feng Yujin.

There is no trace of this guy accepting the mission!

He has been parasitic in Mo Mo's body since the beginning.

Later, he quietly developed for many years in Tiansang Linggong, the base of the Holy Slave, with the help of a big sign.

Finally, he was discovered by himself, and his true form was revealed. He hurriedly fled and didn't know where to go.

If it weren't for the wave after the battle in Bagongli, Ba Zun'an personally came forward and asked him to follow him, Feng Yujin might still be wandering around somewhere!

And he said he wanted to follow me...

For some reason, this guy disappeared again.

Sealed attributes, former Saint Emperor cultivation, and he also escaped from the forbidden magic barrier and returned to the mainland...

Tsk tsk!

If it were me, I would be lawless and free!

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly understood Feng Yujin's mentality. When he was caught by Ba Zun'an that time, he must have felt as uncomfortable as swallowing shit, right?

"Fortunately, Lord Ba Zun'an interrupted his possible contact with Xu Yue Hui Palace in time."

"Otherwise, this person might really be taken away."

Li Fugui was still talking.

His words were the same as what Xu Xiaoshou thought.

But from another perspective, standing outside the overall situation and in the position of a chess player, he gave a different explanation for everything Xu Xiaoshou encountered in his growth experience.

From Tiansang Ling Palace, from the battle for supremacy in the outer courtyard...

This game actually already existed, and it has been turning all the time!

It's just that Xu Xiaoshou was in the game before and couldn't see this layer at all.

Now that he has reached a certain level, he can naturally come into contact with this new side, and looking back on the past, he has a different understanding.

"Palace Master Bai Zhou's plan failed, but he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, so he came to you."

Li Fugui found that what he said seemed to be the first time that Master Shou heard it.

Did Lord Ba Zun'an never tell him these things? Then he has always been used as a chess piece!

But...

After seeing the multiple mysteries of Shouye, the eight-character order, and his outrageous combat power.

In addition, the Eight Lords personally requested to promote the name of "Shouye".

Li Fugui could easily read the intention of the top leaders, which was to train Shouye as a chess player.

If he underestimated him, it was possible that he would die on the spot.

Li Fugui's attitude was very humble, and he was humble from beginning to end, except when he heard "sleeping with feet touching each other".

Including the fact that he could kneel down before the two sides recognized each other at the beginning - from the moment he recognized Shouye's identity, Li Fugui corrected his position: just a subordinate, not overstepping his authority.

"You must know Jiaotangtang. She is a conservative. To a large extent, she represents the views of Palace Master Baizhou."

"Since Emperor Fengtian and his men couldn't get it, they thought of using you - this is the breakthrough point for us to find the traces of Palace Master Baizhou's actions."

"Jiaotangtang gave you the God of Greed because she saw in you a concept that is not much different from that of the conservatives."

"This is what Palace Master Baizhou is happy to see, but it is also different from the purpose of the Holy Slave."

Li Fugui carefully considered his words, because what he said now was already very rebellious.

"Lord Ba Zun'an's approach is very radical. He even went to war with the Holy Temple directly, but you are a little different."

"As far as the battle between the ghost beast and the red-clothed one is concerned, if you use it well, you will be a sword of the Xuyue Gray Palace, a sword that clears the way for them!"

"And you are still not Lord Ba Zun'an. You are still insignificant, not so sharp, and your style of doing things is also different from Lord Ba Zun'an."

"This is the person that Lord Baizhou likes the most, and your position has been doomed since the moment you accepted the Greedy God."

"Once you have something to do with the ghost beast, once the bond is formed, you can no longer get rid of it!"

Xu Xiaoshou listened silently to Li Fugui's series of words with a new insight, and after digesting it, he only sighed.

"Alas..."

Too convoluted!

This is another situation that has been pulled out in circles, which is too big!

The people in the five regions of the continent dare not have anything to do with the ghost beast. Is it not only because of the red-clothed one, but also because of the relationship between Xuyue Gray Palace or Lord Baizhou?

This is so fucking…

It’s so dirty!

Those who play tactics are all as dirty as Lao Ba!

If it weren’t for someone from the South Territory coming over, and he’s a family member and a smart person, I still wouldn’t be able to untie this knot!

Perhaps, he’s also proud of the fact that Greedy God can make pills…

The more Xu Xiaoshou looks at Li Fugui, the more he can’t hide his love for him.

He needs this person too much.

He has cognition, high level, and profound insights... He can be used as a mirror to see his own shortcomings.

"If you were me, how would you break the situation?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.

Li Fugui smiled bitterly, turned his head and pointed to the outside of the frost world, and said helplessly:

"Master Shou, you must have the answer, why bother to test me?"

"The conservatives are afraid of being used by Lord Ba Zun An, so they chose you because of your philosophy on ghost beasts and the great potential you showed at the time."

"Now that you have released your potential and turned into Feng Xiaose, a powerful fighter, as a representative of the pro-war faction, if he knows the existence of Greedy God, he will either be your enemy or your friend."

"So in the final analysis, Master Shou is the only person that Xu Yue Hui Palace dares to contact!"

After a pause, Li Fugui sighed sincerely and said:

"The pro-war faction must first eliminate the conservatives if they want to unify the front; the conservatives can only break the dilemma of the red clothes with you as a sword; you can use Feng Xiaose as a key to activate the power of the pro-war faction and counter the White Palace Master."

"Isn't this the imperial technique and checks and balances that you have always used, Master Shou?"
