Chapter 542 Undercurrent
Ji Tianxuan was restrained by Su Xiaobai and could only be forced to follow Su Xiaobai.
Ji Tianxuan felt aggrieved in his heart. Although he was a strategic magician and could use the powerful magic of the twelfth level, he was not the Lord of Destruction.
The Lord of Destruction is a strategic-level magician, but not every strategic-level magician is a Lord of Destruction.
There is only one freak like the Lord of Destruction.
Therefore, Su Yian directly controlled the elements of heaven and earth to imprison his magic power, making it impossible for him to escape from Su Xiaobai's palm.
"Hello, Lord Lich!"
"Greetings, Lord Lich!"
"..."
Su Xiaobai is a strange orc. He likes to hang out among the orcs in the Ten Thousand Monsters Dynasty, so every orc in the imperial capital knows that this handsome young master is Lord Lich.
Su Xiaobai nodded frequently with a smile on his face and waved his hands from time to time, just like those big stars.
Ji Tianxuan's heart had calmed down. He looked at Su Xiaobai and asked, "Have you always been so high-profile?"
"That's right." Su Xiaobai said with a smile: "We must be close to the people. There is an old saying in your Qin Dynasty that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it, right?"
Ji Tianxuan's expression was a bit strange. Don't these big shots usually like to live in seclusion and remain mysterious? Just like Kong Chaozong, the national advisor of Da Qin and leader of the Taoist sect, he usually did not show up except when summoned by His Majesty.
"Hey, I know what you are thinking." Su Xiaobai looked at Ji Tianxuan: "I have never thought that I am a big shot. I am just a fox, a little fox. If it weren't for magic, I might have been killed by humans long ago. I got cramps from peeling, right?"
Ji Tianxuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, your fur is so good, it will definitely sell for a good price."
"Hahaha..." Su Xiaobai laughed: "Not bad, I admire you. You are an outstanding human being, but you are still inferior to the Lord of Destruction."
The corners of Ji Tianxuan's mouth twitched, and unnaturalness flashed across his face. Su Xiaobai chuckled: "Look, your state of mind still needs to be tempered. Some time ago, the Lord of Destruction killed another great magister and magister. When he attacked me, he wanted to kill me.”
"Do you want to kill me?" Su Xiaobai looked at Ji Tianxuan with burning eyes.
"I can't do it." After a moment of silence, Ji Tianxuan raised his head and said.
"Yes, you can't do it, but your state of mind has improved again." Su Xiaobai praised: "You are very smart, and your background in the Ji family has not made you too arrogant. The fact that you will seek progress is more important than the big one." Most young people are great, but you still can’t compare to him.”
"I know." Ji Tianxuan said calmly: "The Lord of Destruction is the strongest strategic magician since the emergence of magic. He is also the only strategic magician who can truly be on an equal footing with the sages. Other strategic magicians are incomparable. You can't even catch him."
"Not only will the gap not shrink, but it will become wider and wider, until it is like heaven and earth, clearly visible but not touchable."
"Not bad, not bad, you have seen it very clearly." Su Xiaobai nodded, then stopped and stared at Ji Tianxuan: "Since you know, why do you need to inject the source potion to become a strategic magician? It is not good to practice one step at a time. ? Your talent is very good."
Ji Tianxuan looked at the handsome face close at hand, thinking about the rumors he had heard about this Lord Lich, and said, "Mr. Lich is very powerful. He is here, but he knows he is thousands of miles away."
Su Xiaobai smiled proudly, and Ji Tianxuan's lips curled up with a hint of bitterness: "Who knew that the Lord of Destruction would be as strong as he is now? I was pushed out to compete with him as the wielder of the Great Qin Divine Sword. I can't disobey my family's orders. You can only inject Yuanchu medicine.”
"Quite honest."
"I can't hide it from you. I don't believe you don't know." Ji Tianxuan said.
The two continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of a vermilion door. Ji Tianxuan looked up and saw the word "Su Mansion" in his eyes. It was obviously Su Xiaobai's home.
"Hidden in the city, Mr. Lich is very special." Ji Tianxuan said: "No wonder the Imperial Master has such a high opinion of you."
Su Xiaobai pushed the door open and entered. Ji Tianxuan didn't want to go in very much, but Su Xiaobai didn't give him a chance to resist and just went in with his arms around his shoulders, like a close partner.
Hearing the sound of the vermilion door closing behind him, Ji Tianxuan sighed, but then his expression returned to normal, and he took it as he came.
"There are a lot of dandies in the Ji family. You are good at cultivating qi. If you don't follow the path of a military magician, you won't be able to train yourself. Maybe you will be a useless dandy now, right?"
Facing Su Xiaobai's remarks, Ji Tianxuan smiled but said nothing. After so many years of training in the military, how could there be such a thing as "if"?
"Mr. Lich, it's time to get down to business." Ji Tianxuan said, "What is the secret you want to tell me?"
Su Xiaobai said nothing and followed the bluestone path in the courtyard to the backyard, a lake and a pavilion.
"Do you feel anything?" Su Xiaobai stopped and asked.
Ji Tianxuan felt that the restraint on his body was loosened, and he subconsciously wanted to use strategic magic, but he held back. Since Su Xiaobai dared to let go of him, it proved that he was not afraid of his counterattack at all.
So Ji Tianxuan looked at the lake and released his mental power to feel it. However, the bottom of the clear lake could not be seen, not even a small fish or shrimp.
When his mental power entered the lake, Ji Tianxuan felt cold coming from all directions in an instant. The bone-chilling coldness made him quickly withdraw his mental power, otherwise he would be frozen.
"Your mental power is just average." Su Xiaobai said, "It's the sequelae of the Origin Potion. Your mental power has shrunk."
Ji Tianxuan said nothing. Although the Origin Potion can quickly cultivate powerful magicians, it also has great side effects. So he couldn't understand why the Destruction Monarch could overcome the side effects of the Origin Potion.
Su Xiaobai waved his right hand, and the water in the lake flowed back and stagnated in the air, and the scene under the lake also entered Ji Tianxuan's sight.
Ji Tianxuan's face was a little pale, and his hands clenched involuntarily, because the bottom of the lake was full of skeletons!
He could tell that in addition to the skeletons of monsters, there were also human skeletons!
"Mr. Lich, what does this mean?" Ji Tianxuan's face was uncertain, and the magic power in his body was subconsciously agitated and was about to break out of his body.
"Don't get excited." Su Xiaobai smiled slightly, and when he put down his right hand, the water flow returned to the lake: "This is the secret I want to tell General Ji. Guess why these skeletons are here? Who are they?"
"Do you think I killed them?" Su Xiaobai's smile was frighteningly seductive, and the tail behind him swayed, showing his joy.
Ji Tianxuan was silent. How should he answer? He felt that he would die no matter how he answered, after all, he saw the secret here.
Su Xiaobai looked at Ji Tianxuan with a smile: "It is very impolite not to answer other people's questions."
Ji Tianxuan smiled bitterly: "How do you want me to answer?"
"Haha." Su Xiaobai turned around and walked towards the pavilion. Ji Tianxuan hesitated and followed.
In the pavilion, Su Xiaobai asked, "How did you know that the Lord of Destruction was here?"
Ji Tianxuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "The Lord of Destruction did not hide his whereabouts, so we naturally knew it."
"Who told you?" Su Xiaobai turned and looked at Ji Tianxuan, who said directly, "The Silver Winged Dapeng Royal Family."
"Are you here to kill the Lord of Destruction?"
"Yes." Ji Tianxuan said, "But you also know that there is no difference between me and cannon fodder. Who can kill the Lord of Destruction now, unless he is a sage?"
"The Ji family sent you alone?"
"I don't know."
"Tsk..." Su Xiaobai patted the hem of his clothes lightly, and then looked up at the sky: "There are quite a few people who want to kill this Lord of Destruction. Tell me why your Ji family wants to kill him."
"Afraid of his revenge." Ji Tianxuan said.
"Hahaha." Su Xiaobai laughed loudly: "The Ji family, the self-proclaimed strongest Ji family, is actually afraid of others' revenge, and because of fear of others' revenge, they want to strike first..."
"But what's the difference between your actions and moths flying into the fire? Without even a sage, how can you beat them?"
When mentioning the sage, Ji Tianxuan's face darkened a little.
The fire pseudo-star mark that the Ji family had nurtured in the ancestral home for decades was taken away, which directly cut off the Ji family's path to becoming a sage, and also lost the qualification to compete for the [Ten Families of Heaven] quota.
Not only that, in the defense of the fire pseudo-star mark, the Ji family suffered heavy losses, and was suppressed by many families. Even Emperor Yao said that the Ji family did not understand restraint in recent years.
Because of this, the Ji family has become much more low-key, but the action of tracking down the whereabouts of the fire pseudo-star mark has never stopped.
Until the Destruction Monarch appeared on Tiger Roar Mountain and used the magic auxiliary machine of Blood Rose, they immediately understood that the pseudo-star mark was taken away by the Destruction Monarch!
The damned Lord of Destruction has been against them all the time, and has also cut off the future of their Ji family!
Ji Tianwen, the head of the Ji family, was furious and directly asked him to go to the Wan Yao Imperial Capital to intercept the Lord of Destruction.
So he appeared in the Wan Yao Imperial Capital, but as soon as he stepped into the imperial capital of the Wan Yao Dynasty, he was brought here by their Lord Lich, and now his life is slim.
"Mr. Lich, don't worry about this! Our Ji family is not weak either!" Ji Tianxuan didn't want to lose face for the Ji family.
"That's right, just the fact that you can communicate with the spirit world at will makes countless people envious... But although your Ji family has trained many magicians, they are all fakes. The process from a high-level magician to a magician is a process of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. Your practice of communicating with the spirit world is equivalent to helping the butterfly tear open the cocoon. Such a butterfly can't fly high or far at all."
"Mass production can also cause qualitative changes!" Ji Tianxuan retorted, although he also knew that what Su Xiaobai said was true.
"Let's cooperate." Su Xiaobai suddenly spoke, and Ji Tianxuan was stunned: "What cooperation?"
"The purpose of your trip." Su Xiaobai smiled slightly: "I can help."
"Why?" Ji Tianxuan stared at Su Xiaobai. Although he was very tempted, he also knew that pie would not fall from the sky, and Su Xiaobai must have his purpose.
"Because he didn't respect me in Huxiao Mountain." Su Xiaobai grinned: "I don't like him."
"That's it?" Ji Tianxuan became more and more alert in his heart. What kind of reason is this?
"Why?" Su Xiaobai looked at Ji Tianxuan: "Aren't all you dandies from aristocratic families like this? You think of crazy revenge on the other party when you are a little angry. You can do it, why can't I?"
Ji Tianxuan coughed lightly: "Mr. Lich doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person."
"Don't you?" Su Xiaobai touched his handsome cheek: "I think I am quite suitable to be a second-generation ancestor. I meet all the conditions."
"Mr. Lich can play this role at any time."
"No, no, I am now establishing the image of a [handsome gentleman], and our countrymen like this image of me." Su Xiaobai fanned himself: "I am getting off topic. Will you cooperate? With my help, your success rate will increase."
"How much can it increase?" Ji Tianxuan smiled: "It is still difficult for the two of us. I will be killed instantly, and you alone cannot defeat the Destroyed Monarch."
"You are not the only one who wants to kill the Destroyed Monarch." Su Xiaobai smiled: "There are quite a few people who come to our imperial capital, some from Daqin, some from other countries, and some organizations... How many of them want to kill him, and how many want to protect him?"
"You can gather those who want to kill him. You have the ability to do so here." Ji Tianxuan said.
"No, the fewer people involved, the better. It would be bad if we alarmed our noble Demon King." Su Xiaobai said, "He really doesn't like fighting in the palace. If you alarm the Demon King, can the humans who want to kill the Destroyer King still live well?"
"The palace?" Ji Tianxuan grasped the key point: "The Destroyer King is in the palace? How could he be in the palace?"
Su Xiaobai's eyes flashed with praise: "Because he is a guest."
"The Demon King's guest?"
Su Xiaobai smiled and remained silent, which Ji Tianxuan thought was a tacit agreement.
"What do you want to do?" Ji Tianxuan asked. He was already relaxed and wanted to reach a cooperation with Su Xiaobai.
"Start the action in five days."
"Five days?" Ji Tianxuan was surprised: "It's too long!"
"Not long." Su Xiaobai's eyes flashed with a sharpness: "Five days is just right."
Ji Tianxuan didn't know where Su Xiaobai got the confidence from, but on the other party's territory, in the other party's familiar environment, he could only trust the other party.
"Before that, let's have a good walk. I found that several old friends have also entered this imperial capital." Su Xiaobai patted Ji Tianxuan on the shoulder and said.
"I'm not going." Ji Tianxuan directly refused. Su Xiaobai's friends are not his friends. His identity and strength as a strategic magician are not enough in this imperial capital. What if something unexpected happens?
"Okay, I won't force you, you can do whatever you want." Su Xiaobai smiled and said, "If you can't find a place to live, you can live in my house."
"No need!" Ji Tianxuan refused. He was afraid of being eaten.
