Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 672 Spider Demon, Liu Zhen, Xie Chong

"Senior, you are really courageous," Lin Yu praised the other party after hearing his words, "You can actually come up with such a method that is just one step away from death. Senior is really a man of great righteousness!"

"It's just my job. I can't just watch this demon king wreak havoc on the world," Xuan Yunzi sighed. "But my cultivation is still not deep enough. Even if I risk half my life and waste my own magical powers, I can only block the four ways for it to resurrect."

"And in order to quickly recover my cultivation and prevent accidents, I have no choice but to swear a 'Dao Oath' that from now on, my cultivation will only be used to attack demons."

Xuan Yunzi said this and Lin Yu nodded.

Shen Bingmiao's information mentioned the "Tao Oath". Among the masters of alchemy and Taoism, some improvements can be obtained by taking the "Tao Oath" - but they cannot create something out of nothing, exceed the limit of their own abilities, and the cost is often extremely high.

"No wonder you, Senior, can't take action against those bandits."

Lin Yu said softly.

Xuan Yunzi sighed and said, "There are so many difficulties and obstacles in following the right path... Although I also want a perfect method, I always have to make choices."

After the two of them had a conversation, the remaining players no longer had any doubts about Xuan Yunzi.

Although this old Taoist priest was indeed suspicious, now that he had come to this Taoist temple, all his doubts had been explained away.

This old Taoist is indeed a good man who comes from a famous and upright family and cares about the people of the world.

So, the Snowy Owl also bowed and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry for offending you just now, but I still have one question."

"What is the relationship between this Thousand Threads and Thousand Eyes Demon Lord and Xie Chong and Liu Zhen?"

"I only know that the three are closely connected, but I don't know exactly what the connection is."

Lin Yu was very pleased to hear Snow Owl ask this.

It was not convenient for him to ask these questions directly, after all, Lin Yu's current personality was already there.

He was also a patriot who came for the remains of Xie Chong and the spider demon. Although he did not understand the situation, if he was so ignorant of the situation that he knew almost nothing, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of Xuan Yunzi.

Both sides are suspicious and tentative of each other - the players did not trust Xuan Yunzi at first, but Xuan Yunzi, on the other hand, would definitely have some reservations about the players.

But he really needed to find out the truth from Xuan Yunzi - Snow Owl asked Lin Yu what he wanted to know so directly, which saved Lin Yu a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, when Xuan Yunzi heard Snow Owl's question, he pondered for a moment.

"It's really hard for ordinary people to deduce the connection between this matter..."

"The connection between Liuzhen and the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord is because the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord was first discovered by our Taiqing Sect's founder because he was hiding in Liuzhen."

"The Liu Town back then and the Liu Town today are not the same Liu Town. Hundreds of years ago, the Liu Town was the number one town in the Fire Hell. Even in the entire Two Mountains and Six Hells, it was one of the few towns that was prosperous and wealthy."

Lin Yu nodded. It was not difficult to see from the buildings in Liu Town that the place was much more luxurious than Chenjiabao.

Xuan Yunzi continued, "At that time, the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord appeared, and the ancestor was invited to go and subdue him. At that time, all the martial arts and Taoist masters, and even many unorthodox alchemists, took action."

"They have been battling the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord for a long time, but every time they paid a heavy price to kill him, they discovered that he was just a puppet!"

"It won't be long before the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord will appear again."

"Although the heroes at that time had already deduced the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Thread Demon Lord's 'Cause and Effect' magical power, they did not find a countermeasure..."

"Until my ancestor led the Taiqing Sect to track down the true body of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord, who was hiding in Liuzhen!"

"Originally, he planned to lead the Taiqing Sect members to retreat first and call on his righteous friends to come to his aid. However, he didn't expect that his intention would be directly seen through by the Thousand Eyes and Thousand Threads Demon Lord, who immediately trapped the Patriarch and the Taiqing Sect members in Liuzhen!"

"The two sides engaged in a long and drawn-out battle in Liu Town, and in the end, the Grandmaster emerged victorious."

"However... the price is that the entire Liu Town sinks underground, and no one in the town survives!"

"This is the lifelong regret of my Taiqing Sect founder. Even though those townspeople had already been deeply ensnared by the threads of karma when they were discovered, and had been turned into puppets the moment the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Thread Demon Lord took action," Xuan Yunzi said with emotion, "yet, my founder still believes... if we had been more prepared and had suppressed the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Thread Demon Lord before he noticed, we might have been able to save the lives of the entire town!"

Hearing this, Gao Shan was slightly moved.

The beliefs of the Taiqing sect members are indeed consistent.

Hundreds of years ago, Patriarch Taiqing, and today's Xuanyunzi, when faced with the situation of not being able to save more people, would feel guilty that they were not strong enough and did not do well enough.

Gao Shan saw this scene and seemed to think of many of his real-life friends, so he comforted Xuan Yunzi: "The Taoist priest just said that perfect plans...are rare in the world."

As he spoke, Xuan Yunzi then smiled bitterly.

"Indeed... and this is the origin of the connection between the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord and Liu Zhen."

"Although the Grandmaster's instructions seem to be intended to prevent future disciples from unknowingly falling prey to the 'Thread of Karma', and there aren't overly detailed records, based on the Grandmaster's brief instructions and my observations over the years, I can tell... that the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Thread Demon Lord must have merged his past with that of 'Liu Zhen'!"

"That's why it's so unkillable—it's been operating silently for countless generations, manipulating the souls of everyone in Liu Town, rewriting their pasts, and tying its own life to those of millions of people in Liu Town... At the time, Liu Town was the largest town, and the karmic entanglements of those people practically spanned the Two Mountains and Six Hells."

"So, to kill it, the concept of 'Liu Town' must be completely eradicated. This was also the last order given by the ancestor. He must have arranged for people to erase all arrangements for Liu Town in the world."

"And this... is also why this spider has been increasingly restless recently, because Liu Zhen is truly on the verge of extinction," Xuan Yunzi said, a look of anticipation on his face. "If this continues, in a hundred years... no, perhaps even a few decades, it will completely lose all means of resurrection!"

"Especially since a hundred years ago, there was an elder who changed the name of 'Liu Town' to 'Liu Town'. This must have been done by someone who knew the secret back then."

Having said this, Xuan Yunzi paused and said, "However, the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord is no ordinary demon. He will certainly not just sit there and wait for death."

"This brings us back to the man who stirred up the martial arts world, 'Xie Chong'!"
