Chapter 3317: Chapter 1665: The Nervous Bird Reveals Its Flaw, One Strike Kill with a Broken Wing Arrow_2

Either summon back Elder Yu and Hallmaster Dao,

or Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe and the Dead Sea are doomed forever.

…

“Report!”

At the Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe, in front of the Saint Hall.

Xi crossed the Arena, left with only a handful of demi-saints, and once again approached the wheelchair, his heart in turmoil.

“Speak.”

Ai Cangsheng put down the Evil Sin Bow, his face clouded with gloom.

Xu Xiaoshou simply couldn’t shoot accurately, and this lad probably never intended to confront him directly.

Not much different from what he had originally thought…

He is just a dog!

Impossible to chase away or catch, if you turn to ignore it, it keeps barking loudly and comes up to scratch you with its claws, utterly annoying!

It’s so frustrating.

In thirty years, Ai Cangsheng had never fought such a frustrating battle.

At one point, he thought that Dao Qiongcang had taken his side, scheming for Xu Xiaoshou.

But this, clearly, was impossible.

“Speak.”

Xi seemed to have lost the ability to read expressions.

After waiting for three breaths, still hesitating, his face looked worse than if he had swallowed excrement, and Ai Cangsheng couldn’t help but glare at him.

The young man shuddered and, with trembling hands, handed over a jade scroll: “Lord Cangsheng, please see for yourself.”

“I said, speak!”

Ai Cangsheng understood why Dao Qiongcang disliked repeating his words.

He felt he was turning into Dao Qiongcang himself.

He became reluctant to explain, even lazier to move.

He didn’t even want to scan the jade scroll with the saint’s will; at this moment, he only wished for a voice other than Xu Xiaoshou’s to neutralize the constant din in his head.

Xi was startled by that grim tone.

He always thought Lord Cangsheng took issue with the matter, not the person–he wouldn’t lose his temper at a junior like him!

Clutching the jade scroll, he spoke with a quivering voice: “The Transformation Division reports that figures of Xu Xiaoshou have been appearing one after another in various places across the five regions, all causing trouble.”

“They are all fakes.”

Ai Cangsheng didn’t look back, his gaze fixed on that figure in the sky, really wanting to curse:

Who the hell is the real Xu Xiaoshou, can’t you see?

What is the Transformation Division doing, unable to tell real from fake, reporting unrefined intelligence directly?

If this continues, should a Xu Xiaoshou appear everywhere on the continent, am I supposed to shoot ten thousand arrows and kill them one by one?

Ai Cangsheng held back.

The rage stemming from Xu Xiaoshou must not be easily directed at those around him–that’s precisely what Xu Xiaoshou wants.

Xi opened his mouth.

Though as sharp as he was, he could already sense that Lord Cangsheng was holding back some nasty mood.

But after hesitating, he chose to boldly and fearlessly continue:

“Among them, the ‘Xu Xiaoshou’ at the Xu Yue Grey Palace has been the most audacious.”

“He there killed Wei Feng, morphed into a Raging Giant to push back Elder Wuyue, and in the end, in front of the people of the five regions, he even contested magic with… Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang.”

Finally, Ai Cangsheng turned his head, a murderous look in his eyes as he stared at Xi.

Xi’s forehead oozed a drop of cold sweat that slowly slid down; he really didn’t want to say–if only Lord Cangsheng would look at the jade scroll…

But at that moment, facing the scrutiny, he had to keep going:

“Just now, while this ‘Xu Xiaoshou’ in our presence was dodging your arrows…”

“Feng Tiantian of the Feng family in the Southern Region transmitted all images of the great battle at the Xu Yue Grey Palace via the Dao Imparting Mirror, to the entire five regions.”

“In the view of the Five Domains Preaching Mirror, the sacred mountain occupied half, and the Xu Yue Grey Palace the other, but in reality, the latter is the focal point.”

“So I suspect, that the Xu Xiaoshou over there is the real one, while this one in front of us…”

Xi Yaoyao glanced up at the sky.

Lord Shou was still in the sky with eyes closed, recharging; he was already exhausted from cursing, and as long as Lord Cangsheng did not shoot, he would keep his state.

Feng Zhongzui and Beibei were circling behind him, transmitting through the Dao Imparting Mirror his “gallant appearance” while cultivating.

“I suspect, this one is fake!”

…

Fake?

I think you’re the fake one!

Ai Cangsheng didn’t trust the judgment of the Transformation Division at all, and just slightly touched the bow as a demonstration.

In the high sky, Xu Xiaoshou immediately opened his eyes, and the reactions of the people around him were like forgetting something and then remembering it again.

A perfectly normal reaction!

Previously, everyone was like this for a while!

Therefore, Ai Cangsheng put down the bow, the demonstration ended, and he was too lazy to waste energy shooting arrows.

But at that moment, under the involvement of Xi, an external force, and startled from a mental inertia, he realized that he had fallen into something “strange.”

Ai Cangsheng sensed something was off.

“Guidance!”

“It’s Dao Qiongcang’s Indirect Guidance!”

Ai Cangsheng also suddenly realized that when the opposing side activated the forgetfulness spiritual technique, he still remembered the name Xu Xiaoshou at that moment.

And the reason he put down the bow wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill Xu Xiaoshou anymore, but because he had lost the “target he wanted to shoot.”

What Xi said is true!

The Xu Xiaoshou in the sky, is not Xu Xiaoshou, but one of his avatars?

He had not noticed it for a while, due partly to mental inertia, but more so because there was a Dao Qiongcang Style Guidance in the surroundings.

It guided people to follow the cognitive habits they were initially trained in!

It guided people to give up thinking about when a fake Xu Xiaoshou had taken the place!

Realizing the trickery, Ai Cangsheng, looking at the reaction of the Xu Xiaoshou in front of him, read into it even more.

He was too skittish!

If it were the Xu Xiaoshou from before, he would react only after the arrow was shot, appearing utterly unbothered.

But now…

He resembles an avatar in every way weaker than the true self, lacking the protection of the indispensable spiritual weapon and power around him, and thus feeling insecure.

He became such that as soon as I touch the bow, he would instantly activate that forgetfulness spiritual technique–regardless of whether I would eventually shoot an arrow.

Yet for fear of being found out that the “target to kill” does not equate to “Xu Xiaoshou,” once he activated that spiritual technique, he would quickly deactivate it.
