Chapter 2438 The weak have nothing, the strong take everything.
Mount Ling has already stormed into Jade Capital City, and the Heavenly Demons are also stirring. Meanwhile, Shangguan Biao needs to speed up the absorption and digestion of the newly captured Panlong Ruins...
Any one of these things would normally take him a long time to handle, let alone three happening at once.
In this situation, the most appropriate course of action for Shangguan Biao is to conceal himself and first use the secret realm to deplete the strength of He Lingchuan and the others.
Furthermore, he has already informed the Heavenly Demon of the news that the Nine Nether Emperor has personally arrived in Jade Capital, and the latter will certainly take action.
This will buy it time to absorb the Panlong Ruins and dismantle the Dafanghu.
This is a deadly game of hide-and-seek. As long as He Lingchuan and the others can't find him, he's already halfway to victory.
Immortal Mingke also arrived, jumping off the ark to examine Shangguan Biao: "As expected, he's not a living person! Who would have thought that the true ruler of Jade Capital City is also a dead soul?"
A living person cannot hide in the golden lotus of wind and dew; only a lonely soul can.
This is why other adventurers who entered the Duzhishan Secret Realm, including Bao Chishan, never suspected that the mastermind was hiding in the lotus.
Shangguan Biao thus became invisible to everyone.
"Or rather, the true ruler of Jade Capital City is also a guardian spirit!" He Lingchuan stared at Shangguan Biao and said, word by word, "You are indeed dead long ago. Liu Yisheng's plot against you back then was actually successful. But you turned yourself into the guardian spirit of the 'Flowing Light' Secret Realm!"
"This comeback victory against all odds, this is my assessment of you!" He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs up.
After defeating the other two forces in Changfeng Valley years ago, Liu Yisheng, fearing Shangguan Biao's strength, meticulously planned a deadly trap.
He actually succeeded in killing Shangguan Biao!
This is why no one talks about Shangguan Biao in later generations: the victor is king, the loser is villain.
Since Shangguan Biao died, he was a loser and did not deserve to be remembered in history.
However, Shangguan Biao was ultimately more skilled. Although he died, his soul did not dissipate; instead, he made good use of the spoils of war:
The "Flowing Light" Secret Realm of Wang Ye, the leader of Changfeng Valley.
Immortal Mingke suddenly realized: "That's why so many people have infiltrated Jade Capital to steal the Stone Heart, and every single one of them has failed. They've all been looking in the wrong direction!"
Past intruders, even those who realized the White House was a trap, at most assumed it was hidden by Mother Earth in some other, more secret location. Their goal was simply to find the hidden location of the Stone Heart.
This is Shangguan Biao's double misleading.
These people died mysteriously, never expecting that the true ruler of this ghost town was also an evil spirit!
It's not Mother Earth at all.
Therefore, the monsters in Yujing City had never heard of the name Shangguan Biao.
The very existence of Yujing City was already strange enough; and he was like a ghost, living in this city, in a corner where no one could see him, secretly manipulating everything.
He could not make himself famous forever, but he could make every person who attacked Yujing City suffer a crushing defeat.
Shangguan Biao turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of confusion: "How did you figure that out?"
His true form was attached to the golden lotus within the secret realm of Duzhi Mountain, which alone made him virtually invincible. So many infiltrators in the past had failed without exception, so why was this person able to see through all his arrangements in the secret realm so meticulously?
Why the Nine Nether Emperor in particular?
Then there is only one possibility: Jiuyou's expertise in secret realms is at least no less than that of Shangguan Biao!
How could that be? Accumulating experience and knowledge requires years and years of practice. Even with the help of the Great Pot, dry knowledge poured into one's mind cannot be applied in practice. Jiu You is very young. Even if he had started studying from the womb, he could not possibly catch up with a veteran with thousands of years of experience.
Furthermore, with only the level of development over the past few decades, how can they be qualified to rebuild the Panlong Secret Realm?
He Lingchuan didn't bother to answer.
His gaze as he looked at Shangguan Biao made no attempt to hide his disdain:
"Even with your own people, you have to play tricks. If you can't learn to be upright, you'll always be all alone. You'll have thousands of subordinates, but you won't find a single one who is truly loyal."
"Everyone in the world can be killed! Everyone around me can be betrayed!" Shangguan Biao's words echoed through the valley. "Those weaklings, born to be enslaved and trampled, how can they be worthy of being my companions?"
Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger!
The weak have nothing, while the strong take everything.
Becoming stronger is the only true principle in this world!
During their conversation, He Lingchuan and the others rushed towards him. Shangguan Biao, however, bounced back, stood by the pool, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"You think you can beat me here? You're too naive!"
This is his secret realm, his alone!
"This is the first time I've ever seen a living person act as a guardian spirit!" He stared at He Lingchuan with fervent eyes. "Once I capture you, I'll definitely slice you up and study you thoroughly!"
Immortal Mingke couldn't help but glance at He Lingchuan. Shangguan Biao said, "Is the Nine Nether Emperor also a guardian spirit?"
He wouldn't make baseless accusations.
Yes, the most direct way for the secret realms to devour each other is for the guardian spirits to devour each other!
The battle between Yujing City and Panlong Ancient City ultimately boils down to a battle between two guardian spirits!
If Shangguan Biao wins, then Yujing City will completely annex Panlong Ancient City;
If the Nine Nether Emperor wins, then Panlong Ancient City will defeat Yujing City!
The stalemate has reached a point where the winner takes all and the loser is completely wiped out.
Immortal Mingke also unleashed his magic weapon, but the calm surface of the pool behind Shangguan Biao suddenly exploded, and a huge, powerful figure rushed onto the ground!
This is a black-skinned giant crocodile, over eight zhang long, covered in scales, with a long tail comparable to a hard oar, and its mouth alone is two zhang long.
Its sprinting speed was inversely proportional to its large and clumsy body; it was so fast that it left a blur. With its mouth wide open, its primary target was not He Lingchuan, but Shangguan Biao, who was opposite him.
With a loud crack, the giant crocodile suddenly swung its tail and snapped its jaws back into the jaws.
Shangguan Biao dodged first again, and then a shadowy figure appeared where he had been standing.
Aunt Zhu!
It turns out that the giant crocodile's target was not Shangguan Biao, but the cave spider queen who was about to capture him.
Although this was the first time the monster had appeared, He Lingchuan immediately deduced its true nature:
Black alligator.
This is a monster that Shangguan Biao created by kneading the bones of a giant crocodile demon and the ash of the Earth Mother Rock. It usually lives in the deep pool secret realm.
In the several secret realms controlled by Shangguan Biao, the guardian spirits and monsters can move freely between them, and the Black Alligator came here to protect its master.
Just as He Lingchuan made his move, Aunt Zhu, using her disguise, circled around behind Shangguan Biao, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
However, its plan was seen through by the black alligator.
Furthermore, the black alligator and Shangguan Biao coordinated perfectly, with not a single flaw. With Shangguan Biao's sudden movement, Aunt Zhu was positioned right in front of him, facing the black alligator's gaping maw.
