I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4239: Chapter 986: Confronting Ming (Part 2)

Clearly, he wants to hear more and gain more benefits from himself under the Invincible Demon Ancestor.

Greed, the best at confusing the human heart.

The Demon Ancestor Statue Yi Xiao did not mind Xu Xiaoshou’s greed at all, fearing instead that Xu Xiaoshou would suddenly not be greedy, and responded:

"Secondly, it is a reminder."

"Reminder?" Xu Xiaoshou suspiciously questioned, obviously not believing the Demon Ancestor to be so kind-hearted.

The Demon Ancestor didn’t beat around the bush, stating frankly: "Since you chose to cooperate with Dao Qiongcang, did you know about Dao Ancestor Yi Ji from the start? If not, have you ever thought why the Third Generation Dao Qiongcang could ultimately suppress the First Generation Dao Ancestor Yi Ji?"

This statement indeed sounded alarm bells for Xu Xiaoshou.

Up to now, Dao Qiongcang is still receiving the power transmission from Dao Ancestor Yi Ji, saying "return to zero" is naturally returning to zero.

But after returning to zero, is Dao Qiongcang still Dao Qiongcang or Yi Ji?

The cooperative relationship between him and himself over the past year, compared to the countless millennia of Dao Ancestor Yi Ji’s layout, which weighs more, and can it still be maintained?

"Who said I cooperated with Dao Qiongcang?" Xu Xiaoshou temporarily suppressed many thoughts, retorting with some stubbornness.

Just like Dao Qiongcang, he has no retreat left.

At this moment, Xu and Dao are two grasshoppers tied on the same rope. If Dao Qiongcang loses to Yi Ji, Xu Xiaoshou can only help clean up the mess.

If Dao Qiongcang wins, Xu Xiaoshou still needs to beware if he will turn traitor.

To be frank, Xu Xiaoshou has had this worst-case scenario from start to finish. If it really doesn’t work out, then fight them all!

The only thing he can determine is that Medicine Ancestor is not weak.

Even if Dao Qiongcang or Yi Ji succeed in taking Medicine Ancestor’s path, a mutual defeat is the best result.

As long as he can seize the Demon Ancestor during this period, everything afterward will be negotiable.

If he cannot seize...

Naturally, it is a loss!

Naturally, no need to consider the aftermath!

Naturally, at this moment, he does not actually need to think too much; he only needs to believe that Elder Dao the Flamboyant can solve Dao Ancestor Yi Ji’s troubles, and he can continue extracting more information from the Demon Ancestor here.

"Not cooperation, then it must be mutual need." The Demon Ancestor Statue grinned widely. "In that case, rather than conspiracy with Yi Ji without knowing the outcome, how about sharing the new Heavenly Realm with This Ancestor?"

Making a conspiracy with you is asking for trouble, isn’t it?

Xu Xiaoshou slightly smiled, displaying some casualness: "To be honest, as things have come to this point, some answers I’ve already found with my ability."

"Oh?" The Demon Ancestor wasn’t moved.

"Demon Ancestor, I’m truly not bluffing. If you want to cooperate with me now, I can only say that the chips you offer are far less than Ayao’s."

Ayao...

With these two words, the smile on the Demon Ancestor Statue’s face somewhat froze, but then turned into breezy nonchalance.

Obviously, he still thought Xu Xiaoshou was bluffing.

Is Xu Xiaoshou bluffing?

Yes, he indeed is bluffing.

The current situation is mixed with fish and dragons, the direction of development is uncertain.

The only partner to firmly rely on is Elder Dao the Flamboyant, and cannot be easily changed, otherwise he’ll face enemies on all fronts.

As for the Demon Ancestor, naturally, the stronger the medicine, the better!

"Demon Ancestor, you actually don’t really want to communicate or cooperate with a small fry like me, do you?" Xu Xiaoshou turned his head away, his expression somewhat bitter but eventually relieved, and continued:

"Let’s open the skylight and speak plainly, just do it like with Ayao. As long as you offer more than him, I can turn traitor at any time."

"As long as I survive in the end, that’s enough!"

The Demon Ancestor Statue snickered, evidently amused by this low-grade trickery of bare-handedly catching a white wolf.

"Don’t believe?"

At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou’s Body of Consciousness let out a deep sigh, no longer wasting words.

His eyelids began to twitch wildly, his expression suddenly spasmed, his entire Body of Consciousness trembling as if being possessed by someone.

However, after an instant, the convulsed eyeballs returned, eyes opened wide, bursting forth with an immense and magnificent Force.

A gentle ethereal voice, without seeing lips move, floated out from Xu Xiaoshou’s Body of Consciousness:

"The great calamity approaches, Dao is fading."

"All ancestors withered, bodies not governed by themselves."

"Divine Farmer Hundred Grass wishes to aid me with a new Heavenly Realm, Demon Ancestor Saint Xin, what can you offer me?"

The entirely new "Xu Xiaoshou" gazed over, with thousands of scenes flashing in his eyes, seemingly having experienced countless reincarnations, exuding an aura of time and vicissitudes.

Whether in demeanor, charm, or the ease and composure in gestures, it was incomparable to the previous frivolous young man.

Name Ancestor?!

The Demon Ancestor Statue found it difficult to maintain its composure.

He had certainly considered Xu Xiaoshou to be the descendant of Name Ancestor, be involved with Name Ancestor’s power, but never thought this guy could actually summon the true nature of Name Ancestor.

It seemed as if it was the power of Name Ancestor at its peak?

No...

Perhaps in terms of power level, it’s not quite there.

But this guy, presumably has the vision and experience of Name Ancestor at its peak, rediscovering Self after countless cycles of reincarnation?

Then the strength of Name Ancestor’s power becomes irrelevant.

The important part is, he can totally represent "Nu," negotiate and talk terms with me!

No...

Or perhaps, I’ve been considering incorrectly all along?

The Demon Ancestor’s mind still retained some skepticism, for he knew Xu Xiaoshou had the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations Technique. Perhaps this is his ability expression—acting both himself and Name Ancestor, creating a sensory split convincing me?

Yet if this is a pretense, how can a mere twenty-year-old possess such historical path energy?
