432: Chapter 76 The Reasons for the Preservation of the Whole Body

As he unleashed his ability, Gao Ning was surprised to find that the surrounding walls and even the iron door had the effect of isolating Qi and preventing the infiltration and diffusion of spirit.

Even when he exerted his ability to the fullest, the range of influence of the Twelve Labors of Passion Array was limited to this secret room.

In this room, apart from those animals, the only target he could provoke emotions in was Meng Li.

Those animals were just ordinary animals, also trapped in cages like him; even if they all went berserk, they couldn't stir up any trouble.

As for Meng Li, he couldn't provoke him at all.

At this moment, Gao Ning finally confirmed that Meng Li's words were true: the other party was the butcher knife, and he was the fish on the chopping block.

With no other choice, he had to honestly manipulate the emotions of those animals, provoking them back and forth.

Soon, the animals in the cages became restless.

Meng Li observed with Daluo Cave Observation.

After "learning" the Twelve Labors of Passion Array through observation, he turned and left to find Dou Mei.

Upon arriving, Meng Li repeated his old trick, having Dou Mei pacify those irritable animals.

After "learning" Dou Mei's ability to soothe hearts and reduce pain, he had the Secret Guard Automaton bring Dou Mei and Gao Ning together to the secret room where Shen Chong was located.

With the Three Madmen gathered, Meng Li asked Shen Chong: "Shen Chong, if two people have both signed a contract with you, and they kill each other, what will be the result?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Shen Chong and the other two changed wildly.

Especially Gao Ning and Dou Mei.

Meng Li's words, combined with the situation at hand, had an obvious meaning.

He wanted to make the two of them sign a usury contract with Shen Chong and then kill each other.

Was he treating them as lab rats, and the lethal kind at that?

If things were to develop like this, even if they didn't die in the end, their fate probably wouldn't be much better.

Because they knew very well the consequences of signing a usury contract.

But looking at those formidable Secret Guard Automatons and the unpredictable Meng Li, Gao Ning and Dou Mei dared not resist openly.

Thus, Gao Ning had to force a smile and concede: "Benefactor Meng, is there really a need to play this big?"

"If you want to learn the Twelve Labors of Passion Array, you can have someone bring paper and pen, and This Monk will immediately write down a Secret Manual for you, without holding anything back. Furthermore, as long as Benefactor is willing to raise your hand and spare This Monk, in the future, if there is any need, This Monk will definitely do my best to help."

Dou Mei also followed up: "The same goes for me. Even if you want to become the Sect Head of Quanxing, we can help."

When these words were spoken, Shen Chong and Gao Ning were both startled for a moment.

Become the Sect Head of Quanxing?

That was no easy task.

The organization of Quanxing itself was characterized by not following rules, and its members were all unruly and reckless people; the difficulty of wanting to become the Sect Head of Quanxing could be imagined. In the last hundred years, the only person who had properly become the Sect Head of Quanxing was Rootless Life, who triggered the Jia Shen Rebellion and led the emergence of the Eight Peculiar Skills.

The later Gong Qing was just an acting Sect Head, who could only issue orders to have Quanxing attack the Celestial Masters Residence by using benefits to lure them and conducting a gamble.

As a result, Gong Qing lost the bet and lost his life at the Celestial Masters Residence.

Since then, no one had mentioned becoming the Sect Head, because everyone knew they didn't have that ability.

Now Dou Mei actually promised Meng Li that she could help him become the Sect Head of Quanxing; that was quite a bold claim.

However, the two of them realized in an instant that this was likely an expedient measure.

First, sway Meng Li to avoid killing each other and losing their lives. Whether they could deliver on the promise later, they would deal with it then.

Therefore, Shen Chong and Gao Ning hurriedly echoed.

"That's right."

"Quanxing has been able to contend with the various major Schools until now, so its strength is extraordinary."

"If Benefactor Meng can sit in the position of Sect Head of Quanxing, your status could even surpass that of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence."

"If Benefactor is interested, we can help."

Hearing this, the corner of Meng Li's mouth twitched, and he felt speechless in his heart.

These three guys were really talking big without batting an eye just to save their lives.

Quanxing has been able to contend with the various major Schools until now?

The status of the Sect Head of Quanxing surpasses that of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence?

Quanxing was indeed very strong in its heyday, but this evil School could remain until now, not because its own strength was solid, but because the authorities and the major Schools knew deeply that the interdependence of black and white, and the coexistence of light and darkness, was an eternal truth.

The same was true for righteous and evil Schools.

Conflict between the two was unavoidable.

As long as humans still existed, struggle would not disappear.

Even if Quanxing were completely wiped out, it wouldn't take long for a new evil School to be born, and it might be even more troublesome then.

Since that was the case, it was better to keep it.

Therefore, although the authorities and various Schools shouted about attacking and killing Quanxing, and had a tradition of not needing to follow rules, they all tacitly agreed not to completely eradicate it.

With Quanxing around, even if non-Quanxing members acted out of line, they could still consider themselves as the righteous side.

Furthermore, the existence of Quanxing was conducive to the authorities controlling population red lines.

In short, the reason why the evil group of Quanxing could remain until today was the result of the tacit approval of the authorities and major Schools out of various considerations, not because it was truly formidable itself.

As for the status of the Sect Head of Quanxing surpassing that of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence?

Rootless Life probably wouldn't even dare to say that.

Meng Li had originally thought he could see some amusement, but he didn't expect these three guys to treat him like a novice.

His expression turned cold, and he raised his hand.

Several Secret Guard Automatons simultaneously converted their arms into gun barrels, aiming at Shen Chong, Gao Ning, and Dou Mei.

Biu! Biu! Biu!

A barrage of Qi bullets swept out. Shen Chong and the other two couldn't dodge in time, and several blood holes instantly appeared on their bodies, but no vital parts were injured.

But even so, their faces turned pale.

One reason was the injury, the other was fear.

It was true that the three of them were bold and reckless, but they were also afraid of death; otherwise, they wouldn't have been hiding their actions.

At this moment, seeing Meng Li really strike hard, they couldn't help but panic.

Subsequently, Meng Li spoke with a cold face: "Whatever I say, you just do it. If you dare to babble again, I will immediately turn you into a sieve."

After finishing his words, he looked at Shen Chong, who was clutching his arm.

Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, honestly answering Meng Li's previous question: "I'm not too sure what the result of two contractors killing each other would be. After obtaining the ability, I only thought about harvesting contractors; for the sake of maximizing profits, I haven't tried letting them kill each other."

This made sense.

People who lend usury mainly want to make money; letting those who owe money kill each other did not serve their interests.

Combining the information obtained using Daluo Cave Observation, Meng Li confirmed that Shen Chong was not lying.

He rubbed his chin, thoughtful, and then said: "Then use your ability to sign a contract with Dou Mei."

Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."

After saying that, he began to activate his ability, constructing the usury contract...
