I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

“Hallmaster Dao, have you become Lord Shou’s man now?”

This sudden shift in stance had too much drama in it, so fake that it made one wonder who really played tricks in all this.

But no matter the manipulation, how could the Holy Divine Palace possibly mingle with a Saint Servant!

“Hallmaster Dao, are you serious?”

At this moment, not only was Yue Gongli confounded, but everyone affiliated with the Holy Divine Palace was hesitantly asking in bewilderment.

While your subjects are prepared to fight to the death, why would the Hallmaster turn to the enemy?

On the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, Xu Xiaoshou greeted Dao Qiongcang’s embrace with roaring mockery:

“How could it not be real?”

“First of all, you’re mistaken on several points. One, he’s no longer the Hallmaster. He was ousted by your own people from the Holy Divine Palace.”

Indeed, Hallmaster Dao was sent away by our own hands.

Having once supported Hallmaster Xuanji, wasn’t that also a betrayal of Hallmaster Dao?

“Second, a chess master so unpredictable, who has been in his position for over thirty years, garnering impressive military achievements, could be dismissed by you so easily.”

“Why not think of it the other way around? Could a Holy Divine Palace, so narrow-minded, truly house a giant Buddha like Hallmaster Dao for long?”

The crowd was struck by lightning again.

Indeed, how could the departure of Elder Wuyue, who lost an arm, and Senior Rao Yaoyao, who fought to death on Abyss Island without posthumous honors, seem so bizarre and abrupt?

Under the Holy Divine Palace’s twisted rule system, those on top were doomed to such a downfall!

“Third, as the most outstanding Divine Sorcerer between heaven and earth, what’s wrong with him wanting to research the future development of the Divine Secret?”

“Why won’t the Holy Divine Palace allow it, why won’t the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor allow it, why won’t the whole world allow it, forcing him to hide and develop in secret?”

“Can talent really be buried? Will gold never have its day to shine? The Path Division, Red Coat, guardians of the sacred mountain… must he hide to such an extent just to continue his Great Path?”

Xu Xiaoshou became more impassioned as he spoke.

The whole arena was silent, staring blankly at Lord Shou on the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, their minds trembling in tempo with his speech.

Even Dao Qiongcang’s eyes widened… High mountains and flowing waters searching for a confidant; it turns out Xu Xiaoshou understands me!

“The humiliation suffered in the Holy Divine Palace will not happen under Xu Xiaoshou.”

“The research that was obstructed by the Five Great Holy Emperors, I, Xu Xiaoshou, wholeheartedly support.”

“If the world chooses to be your enemy, then my friend, let me tell you, I would fight the entire world for you!”

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Xu Xiaoshou leaped down from the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, spreading his arms wide, emotionally asking:

“Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me, if you were Dao Qiongcang, how would you choose?”

I choose you, no more words are needed… Countless people were moved to tears, feeling that Lord Shou’s words could not be more justified.

So Hallmaster Dao had suffered so much during his tenure.

And the world, which had enjoyed decades of peace, had no idea that this was because someone had been guarding and guiding it.

Even Dao Qiongcang himself…

“No, that’s not right!”

Dao Qiongcang, glimpsing the emotional loss of control in the people, instantly realized that even he was being influenced by Xu Xiaoshou.

This guy’s manipulation of the Force, of Intent, of the power of guidance, was so imperceptible, as gentle as the spring wind and as subtle as the rain.

“Brilliant!”

To kill, yet not press the head to the ground.

Elder Sang surveyed the scene, seeing Xu Xiaoshou effectively afflicting the hearts of everyone present, and even faintly perceived another layer.

If before, Dao Qiongcang could deliver impassioned speeches in front of Saint Servants, winning the hearts of all the Saint Servant intelligence officers with his words.

Now wasn’t Xu Xiaoshou doing the same?

He was using this explanation to plant the seeds of trouble deeply in people’s hearts, making everyone realize that the root of the problem didn’t stem from Dao Qiongcang’s change of stance but from the Holy Divine Palace’s inevitable decline.

Even more, his words were for all the intelligence officers of the Saint Servants, saying that Hallmaster Dao’s choice to come over, to accept his former enemies, wasn’t because the Saint Servants had become stronger than the Holy Divine Palace.

It was because Xu Xiaoshou was here, and with him here, even the Hallmaster Dao, who could win everyone’s heart, could be won over!

So what, then, do I need to worry about… Elder Sang’s gaze toward his beloved disciple was filled with satisfaction, such as the saying goes, “For every measure there’s a countermeasure; for every height, there’s one higher.”

…

“No, this can’t be, this can’t be…”

On the other hand, Yue Gongli, who bore the brunt of such a heart-wrenching speech, was already trembling, out of control, his gaze fixated on Xu Xiaoshou as if his life’s treasure had been taken.

Of course, he could comprehend the underlying meaning behind Xu Xiaoshou’s words, even clearer that at this moment, this speech aimed not only at Dao Qiongcang but also at capturing the hearts and public opinion of the people.

But he only cared about Dao Qiongcang!

His plans had completely crumbled after Dao Qiongcang changed his stance. What was he to do?

Yue Gongli’s mind was in chaos, and even with Xu Xiaoshou’s clear explanation, there were still ten thousand whys.

Finally, he turned his gaze to his former close brother, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xu Xiaoshou, extending another trembling finger and desperately begged:

“Don’t others understand you, do I not understand you?”

“Xu Xiaoshou is nothing but a sycophant, we are brothers who would die for each other. How can you forget our past friendship and submit to a mere flatterer…”

Dao Qiongcang tensed.

Xu Xiaoshou had already swept up the shoulder that Yue Gongli could not reach with a big embrace, and the Tenth Rank Finger Sword sliced through the air.

“Sizzle!”

Yue Gongli’s finger fell to the ground.

“I’ll warn you once, do not point your finger at my friend,” said Xu Xiaoshou with cold severity.
