Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 433 "Let it slip"

"What is the body you are in now..." Lu Wensheng continued to ask, looking at Xie Qingwu's current "human form".

"It's mine!" Xie Qingwu spoke up almost before Lu Wensheng finished speaking, and his speech was so fast as if he was in a hurry to clarify something.

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed a little too eager, which was completely inconsistent with the aloof image he usually tried to create.

(There is no alienated image.)

He immediately pursed his lips, a trace of annoyance flashed in his silver-gray eyes, and he quickly excused himself, his tone becoming cold and slightly sarcastic again: "How stupid! These people in Xiangsheng City, including the one next to you--"

He pointed his chin at Chen Bangyan, who was still in a daze from the huge information shock. "They have been dead for a long time. Even their bodies are just phantoms created by the formation. How can I 'replace' them?"

Xie Qingwu paused, feeling as if he was being led by Lu Wensheng, and quickly brought the topic back to the core of his concern, trying to regain the initiative of the conversation, his tone filled with obvious confusion and inquiry.

"I'm just curious. As for the people at the center of the formation, Li Qinghuan is afraid of death, Xiao Yan is addicted to pleasure, and Wei Liang cherishes his life like gold. Lin Zhuxuan has some possibilities, but he can't accomplish anything alone, not to mention..."

He looked at Lu Wensheng deeply, "You haven't solved the problem with Liu Jiqian yet... How can you break the formation? If you are really caught by the emperor and drowned in the river, wouldn't it be a joke for a righteous leader to end up in such a ridiculous way?"

Lu Wensheng did not directly answer his question about the method of breaking the formation. Instead, he keenly grasped the key information in his words, just like the most astute hunter discovering the flaws revealed by his prey.

He took a step forward, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring closely at Xie Qingwu's silver-gray eyes that suddenly flickered: "'Solve Liu Jiqian's problem'? Is it because of his inner demon? Why did you mention him? This formation... is it related to him?"

Xie Qingwu fell silent for a moment.

The expression that just now contained a hint of inquiry and amusement froze in an instant, his eyes became noticeably vague, and he even turned his head slightly to avoid Lu Wensheng's gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.

He raised his hand, and his fingertips unconsciously twisted the fabric of the cuffs of his shirt. That subtle movement revealed his inner turmoil.

This silence, this posture, clearly shows the guilty look of someone who has accidentally revealed an important secret.

However, his guilty conscience obviously did not come from his loyalty to Min Xiao's plan, but more like regret for his "slip of the tongue". There was not a trace of guilt on his face for possibly ruining Min Xiao's plan.

The system remained silent. The closer it got, the more these demons seemed like a mob. They were either traitors or big mouths, and their loyalty to the demons was not as good as that of the demon cultivators.

It couldn't help but look up the "original content" that it hadn't read for a long time, and compared them one by one, and then found that the content had already changed beyond recognition before even reaching the demon clan plot.

So he silently threw the "original" back into the corner - as expected, the original here has no reference value at all! Could it be a pirated copy? Or did he go to the wrong world and enter a fan work?

The system thought about it over and over again, and felt that the problem was with Lu Wensheng.

Look at the group of people who obey Lu Wensheng's orders, look at Duan Jiashu, the undercover agent from the demon clan, Qu Yanhui, Shi Yubai's subordinate, and this Phantom Demon Lord... I seriously suspect that Lu Wensheng is the protagonist.

But if Lu Wensheng is the protagonist... the system suddenly felt relieved, and a huge sense of security enveloped me. What's going on? !

But it seems possible? Heaven has blessed him, so he obviously likes Lu Wensheng, right?

In this case, just give the order.

It, the system! Will go to the Heavenly Dao to recommend Lu Bao as the new king!

The plot line brought by the original world must have troubled you, right? You don't want a group of evil demons to dominate, right? Hehehe...

"He is the core of the formation?"

Lu Wensheng didn't need Xie Qingwu's answer at all. Based on the other party's instantaneous reaction and the clues he had previously obtained, he immediately deduced the conclusion that was closest to the truth.

His speech speed increased, and his logic was clear. "Will most of the problems with the formation be solved if we let him return to his original state? His temperament has changed drastically, and he is haunted by inner demons. Is it possible to untie the knot in his heart and calm his mind, which is the key to breaking the impasse?"

Lu Wensheng pressed on step by step, and every inference he made was convincing.

Xie Qingwu turned his head abruptly, his usually indifferent silver-gray eyes now widened wide, filled with incredible astonishment, and even a hint of... embarrassment at having his cards seen through?

He almost blurted out: "Am I able to read minds or can you?" His tone was full of absurdity and frustration.

The mind-reading ability that he was so proud of was ineffective in front of Lu Wensheng, but the other party seemed to be able to see through his thoughts easily. This was completely upside down!

"I can't read his mind," Lu Wensheng looked at his irritated face (although he still looked expressionless on the surface), and the smile on his lips deepened, with a kind of insightful understanding, "It's just that your thoughts are too easy to guess."

"Quibbling!" Xie Qingwu was choked to the point of almost losing his expression and retorted in a low voice.

He stubbornly believed that this was the problem - their skills collided! Lu Wensheng must also have a similar ability to read minds, but it was more hidden and powerful than his, so he was repeatedly defeated.

This realization made him even more depressed.

Chen Bangyan, who had been at the center of a huge information storm, trying hard to digest such as "array eye", "illusion demon", "dead man", "array", "inner demon" and other shocking words, finally grasped a key point that he could understand.

He scratched his meticulously combed bun, his face showing a mixture of confusion, shock and a sense of absurdity of sudden enlightenment, and muttered to himself: "So... I'm dead?"

He looked down at his official uniform and touched his face. It felt so real, yet so unreal.

He muttered to himself, as if he had finally solved a puzzle that had troubled him for a long time: "No wonder... No wonder I always feel like my memory is covered by a veil. I can't remember many things clearly, and many things are vague... So that's it..."

This belated "recognition of death" did not bring much fear, but rather a kind of relief like solving a puzzle, although behind this relief was a huge emptiness and confusion.

He stood there, his figure looking somewhat thin and vague in the dim light, as if he would blend into the dusty pile of old books at any time.
