Chapter 380: Inner Struggle, Conflicted Zhuge Qing
Zhuge Qing called out tentatively.
Ma Xianhong's body trembled slightly and he slowly turned around.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face was as pale as paper, but there was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Zhuge Qing, you are here."
Ma Xianhong's voice was hoarse and low, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
"I'm here to check on the progress of the repair of the self-cultivation furnace."
Zhuge Qing said, his eyes fell on the self-cultivation furnace again.
"You...are very interested in the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements?"
There was a hint of temptation in Ma Xianhong's tone.
"of course."
Zhuge Qing nodded without any concealment.
"Every warlock longs to master this power."
"very good."
A satisfied smile appeared on Ma Xianhong's face.
"Look, this is the latest development in the self-cultivation furnace."
He pointed at the self-cultivation furnace, his tone full of pride.
"It won't be long before it's completely finished."
"Then we can share the secret of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."
Ma Xianhong once again emphasized the commitment between the two.
Zhuge Qing looked at the self-cultivation furnace, feeling the powerful force contained in it, and felt both excited and fearful.
He could feel that this power was far beyond his understanding.
If not properly controlled, it may lead to unpredictable consequences.
"Old Ma, have you ever thought that the power of the self-cultivation furnace might get out of control?"
Zhuge Qing hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind.
"out of control?"
Ma Xianhong sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Everything is possible under my control."
"What's more, I still need to use its power to deal with Su Chen."
Ma Xianhong suddenly mentioned Su Chen, his tone full of hatred.
"Deal with Su Chen?"
Zhuge Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that Ma Xianhong was still thinking about this matter.
"Yes."
Ma Xianhong nodded, his eyes turned cold.
"I will use the power of the Self-cultivation Furnace to create a more powerful batch of 'Ruhua'."
After hearing this, Zhuge Qing was shocked.
He finally understood what Ma Xianhong's plan was.
He wants to use the power of the self-cultivation furnace to create a more powerful puppet army to fight against Su Chen, against the Nadutong Company, and even... against the entire alien world!
"Old Ma, if you do this, it will bring about a huge disaster!"
Zhuge Qing couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling a little.
"disaster?"
Ma Xianhong sneered, his eyes full of madness.
"As long as I can realize my ideal, all the sacrifices are worth it!"
"Besides, with you here, I believe the self-cultivation furnace will be fine."
Ma Xianhong looked at Zhuge Qing with trust in his tone.
Zhuge Qing's face turned pale.
He realized that he might be caught in a huge storm.
And this storm could destroy everything.
"Old Ma, calm down!"
Zhuge Qing raised his voice by an octave, trying to bring Ma Xianhong back to his senses.
"The power of the self-cultivation furnace is too strong. If it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous!"
He tried to persuade Ma Xianhong anxiously, hoping that he would stop before it was too late.
Ma Xianhong turned his head suddenly, his eyes red, staring at Zhuge Qing like a wounded beast.
"Out of control? Hahahaha..."
He suddenly burst into a neurotic laugh, which was full of madness and despair.
"I have no way out!"
Ma Xianhong's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, and every word was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Su Chen is pressing me step by step, and the company is also eyeing me covetously. What choice do I have except to give it a try?!"
He waved his hand violently, pointing at the self-cultivation furnace behind him, with crazy flames burning in his eyes.
"Only this! Only the power of the Self-cultivation Furnace can help me get out of this predicament and realize my ideal!"
Zhuge Qing looked at the almost insane man in front of him and felt sad.
He knew that Ma Xianhong had been forced into a desperate situation, and his obsession had penetrated deep into his bones and could not be changed.
"Old Ma, your so-called ideal is built on the suffering of countless people?"
Zhuge Qing's voice was trembling and a little sad.
He couldn't understand why Ma Xianhong had become like this.
"pain?"
Ma Xianhong sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak! The weak are destined to be eliminated!"
He paused, and his tone became sinister and vicious.
"What's more, as long as my 'New Jiejiao' can succeed, it can create a brand new world, a world without disputes and pain!"
"At that time, all the sacrifices will be worth it!"
Zhuge Qing looked at Ma Xianhong's distorted face and felt despair in his heart.
He knew that he could no longer convince Ma Xianhong.
This man has completely fallen into his own madness and cannot extricate himself.
"Old Ma, do you really think you can control the power of the self-cultivation furnace?"
Zhuge Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that there was no point in arguing with Ma Xianhong now.
"Of course I can!"
Ma Xianhong's tone was full of confidence, even arrogance.
"I am the descendant of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. No one in this world knows more about the Self-cultivation Furnace than me!"
He pointed at the self-cultivation furnace, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
"As long as I complete the last step, I will be able to completely control it and make it my most powerful weapon!"
Zhuge Qing looked at the self-cultivation furnace that was flashing with strange light, and felt uneasy.
He always felt that things would not be as simple as Ma Xianhong said.
The power of the self-cultivation furnace is too strong and too mysterious to be easily controlled by humans.
In his opinion, Ma Xianhong's self-confidence was more like blind arrogance.
"Old Ma, you..."
Zhuge Qing wanted to say something else, but Ma Xianhong interrupted him.
"Zhuge Qing, I know what you are worried about."
Ma Xianhong's tone suddenly softened.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
He walked up to Zhuge Qing and patted him on the shoulder.
"As long as you help me complete the final transformation of the self-cultivation furnace, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Ma Xianhong's eyes were full of sincerity, as if he really regarded Zhuge Qing as his partner.
"I will share with you the secret of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements and make you the greatest sorcerer in the world!"
His voice, with its bewitching power, rekindled a glimmer of hope in Zhuge Qing's heart.
Zhuge Qing looked at Ma Xianhong and fell into a fierce struggle in his heart.
He was eager to obtain the Divine Machine, but at the same time he was uneasy about Ma Xianhong's plan.
This contradictory mentality made him feel torn and he didn't know how to choose.
On the one hand, the temptation of the Divine Machine is too great.
As a warlock, he could not resist the attraction of this power.
The feeling of being able to create magical instruments at will and give them life and power is his lifelong pursuit.
On the other hand, Ma Xianhong's plan made him deeply worried.
He always felt that this plan contained huge risks and might bring unpredictable consequences.
He didn't want to become Ma Xianhong's accomplice and didn't want to get involved in this crazy plan.
