Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1775: Chapter 1778: Smoke of War Everywhere

For those below the Out-of-Body Stage, it is considered an existence that cannot die or perish.

Once one reaches this stage, the Nascent Soul can break free from the constraints of the body and exist in the universe for a long period of time.

There are even some unique methods that can directly allow the Nascent Soul to grow, eventually forming a being similar to an energy body.

But this is only true for those of a lower level.

As for someone of the same level in the Out-of-Body Stage, especially when caught unprepared, this immortality is nothing but a joke.

This is exactly the situation right now.

When these two unsuspecting individuals of the Out-of-Body Stage approached the fully prepared Xin Lifeng, death was an inevitable outcome.

The first one had no reaction to what was happening, and the sparkle in their eyes began to fade away.

The second one, just realizing what was happening, was caught in a pincer attack by Lu Xiaobu and Xin Lifeng.

”Xin Lifeng! You traitor!”

After the second one said this, they also returned to the earth.

”Hehehehehahaha!”

Xin Lifeng looked at the blood on his hand and burst into a strange laugh.

As he laughed, tears started to fall!

A traitor?

Yes, a traitor!

He, Xin Lifeng, the most esteemed Great Master of the God Slaying Alliance, has become a traitor!

However, this emotion didn’t last long.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of bewilderment in his heart, a feeling of emptiness.

Because he suddenly realized he wasn’t as loyal to the God Slaying Alliance as he imagined.

At this moment, he felt the tears he shed just a second ago seemed somewhat laughable.

He couldn’t comprehend how such a drastic emotional contrast could occur in a few seconds.

”Alright, stop pretending.” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: ”You’re not that sentimental. Why pretend?”

Indeed, pretending, that’s how he summarized Xin Lifeng’s actions just now.

Xin Lifeng is a clever man, an ambitious clever man.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the right judgment even when shaken like a leaf by Lu Xiaobu’s plan just now!

Decisive action, killing as a pledge!

Unfortunately, this clever man lived among a group of fools.

Worse yet, among those fools were people of higher cultivation and status than him.

As such, his cleverness no longer became his advantage but his flaw.

Because once he showed his cleverness, it would make others look foolish.

Which leader would like to have such a subordinate?

Therefore, Xin Lifeng naturally mastered a skill that most clever people possess——reasonable emotions!

It’s a part of the brain that constantly analyzes the current situation and previous words, telling oneself when to cry, when to laugh, and when to flatter!

Hence, when he killed two God Slaying Alliance members and was called a traitor, this skill kicked in, and he laughed and cried.

But!

When he realized that the Lu Xiaobu standing before him was even smarter, his thoughts changed in an instant.

It turned into—Am I crazy?!

”Oh!” Xin Lifeng shrugged at Lu Xiaobu’s comment: ”Where are we going?”

”Let’s go back!” Lu Xiaobu replied casually.

”Then let’s go.” Xin Lifeng said calmly, with no trace of emotion on his face.

After a while, Xin Lifeng asked, ”Those Spirit Stones brought back from God Slaying City, where are they? I haven’t seen them.”

Millions of spirit stones, that’s no small amount.

”I gave them away.” Lu Xiaobu smiled.

”Gave them away?” Xin Lifeng frowned.

He was contemplating the meaning of these words.

”Did you... give them to someone at the Divine Separation Stage?” Xin Lifeng asked tentatively.

He seemed to have guessed something.

”Smart, continue.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”It couldn’t have been to anyone else at the Divine Separation Stage but someone who invested in the Four Seas Bank.” Xin Lifeng felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed, trying hard to think.

”But the amount given must be controlled well, not more than any two Divine Separation Stage principals combined, yet higher than the principal and interest calculated by the Four Seas Bank!”

”This way, he’ll be caught in a dilemma; if he gives all the spirit stones away, he won’t be willing as he feels those spirit stones are his!”

”But if just the excess portion is given away, others won’t agree!”

”Unless he hides it all away, completely undiscovered.”

”Well, a disciple indeed can be taught.” Lu Xiaobu nodded: ”But what if coincidentally it’s discovered?”

”Then there will inevitably be a dispute, maybe not a real fight, but definitely some grudges!” Xin Lifeng’s eyes lit up as he found direction: ”This will be the breakthrough later?”

”You guessed part of it.” Lu Xiaobu yawned.

”Part of it?” Xin Lifeng’s brow furrowed again.

He felt slightly disgruntled; the previous plan made him misunderstand the focus due to his lack of economic knowledge.

But this time, he felt he wasn’t wrong.

Generating grudges between two Divine Separation Stage cultivators is already an extraordinary matter!

Seeing Xin Lifeng’s displeased expression, Lu Xiaobu laughed and then calmly said: ”What if, inadvertently, this matter reaches the decision-making level of the God Slaying Alliance?”

Upon hearing this question, Xin Lifeng’s brow furrowed tightly; he couldn’t quite understand.

What’s the big deal?

The upper echelon of the God Slaying Alliance?

What difference does it make if they know?

Two individuals of the Divine Separation Stage!

”Fine, I’ll tell you. Those in power, firstly, dislike clever people like you, and secondly, they hate things that should be left alone but then get blown all out of proportion!” Lu Xiaobu smiled.

”They are the power holders, once they learn about this matter, even if widely known, they must make a decision to maintain their power!”

”And is this decision so easily made? It appears to be a distribution issue between two Divine Separation Stage members, but aren’t there two others without even pig’s hair left to lose?”

”Have you considered these two, but what about the other two?”

”If you consider the other two, won’t you consider those at the Out-of-Body Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Golden Core Stage below them?”

”Golden Core Nascent Soul is irrelevant, right?” Xin Lifeng retorted.

”Irrelevant? Do you know what price relationships mean? Yes, the Nascent Soul Stage may seem irrelevant, but what if he has a backer?”

”What if he tells an Out-of-Body Stage member to count the account on them, and they will share part in the end, what then?”

”Even if nothing happens, and you look down on the Golden Core Stage, if he accepts this time, do you think he won’t find a way to recover?”

”From whom will he reclaim? The lower-ranked ones!”

”Once those in the decision-making layer of the God Slaying Alliance make the wrong decision, the dam of the God Slaying Alliance will gradually collapse! Just watch, in less than two days, the entire East Gourd Island will be filled with chaos!”

Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, and Xin Lifeng’s mind went blank!

This petty issue tonight is far from over?!
