Fengyunlu

This matter is really a headache. It can't be solved in one size fits all, nor can it be dragged out. And it can't be done slowly. Lei Gong felt very frustrated. He knew it very well. He had to make a decision quickly. This problem was like a big rock pressing down on him, making him breathless. No matter which one he chose, it was like walking on a tightrope. If he was not careful, he might fall down.

But what should he do? Lei Gong was so confused. He really didn't know how to break this situation. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out. He thought about it, trying to find a way to get both ends, but it seemed that every way would lead to a lot of trouble.

Lei Gong was secretly anxious, but he pretended to be fine on the surface. However, Jiuyou seemed to see through him at a glance. He had a smile on his face, looking at Lei Gong with a wicked smile. Jiuyou's eyes were full of provocation, as if he was saying, "Brother, I understand all your little thoughts." Jiuyou's attitude made Lei Gong feel even worse. He felt that he was seen through, and this feeling made him extremely unhappy.

For a moment, the altar was covered with snowflakes, mist, and murderous aura. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if it could explode at any time. The air on the altar was almost frozen, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless. Everyone was waiting there, waiting for the signal that might detonate the powder keg.

Lei Gong stood like a lone peak, complaining silently in his heart, his mind working quickly, trying desperately to find a way out of the dilemma. As for Jiu You, he looked relaxed and at ease, and although he was temporarily trapped, he was not panicked at all. Lei Gong was very anxious, he knew very well that he had to find a solution quickly, and he couldn't let this situation drag on any longer, he had to act quickly.

"Master Lei, I have a way to save this child, do you want to hear it?" Suddenly, Zhuang Mo's voice broke the silence, and he was going to help Lei Gong. Zhuang Mo's words were like a stream of clear water, diluting the tense atmosphere on the altar. His appearance seemed to bring a ray of hope, and a glimmer of hope ignited in Lei Gong's heart.

Lei Gong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He pondered what Zhuang Mo meant by this. There must be a way to crack it, but there must be conditions. He was eager to know what Zhuang Mo's trick was and what this possible solution was.

"Tell me about it." Lei Gong put his hands into his robe as soon as he finished speaking, waiting for Zhuang Mo to speak. His voice was full of expectation, he hoped that Zhuang Mo could bring him good news. He needed an answer, an answer that could solve the problem at hand, an answer that could get him out of the predicament.

Zhuang Mo got Lei Gong's response and continued, "Master Lei, you are confused now and have too many concerns in your mind. This time you have to use some ruthless tricks to break this situation." Zhuang Mo spoke with confidence, as if he had found a way to break it. His words revealed a kind of determination, a deep understanding of Lei Gong's dilemma and a solution.

"Boy! How dare you!" Lei Gong was furious, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, as if warning Zhuang Mo not to mess around. His anger was burning in his chest, and he would never allow anyone to threaten his status and dignity, especially at this critical moment.

As soon as Zhuang Mo finished speaking, Jiu You jumped out impatiently, his voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

The two methods of absolute destruction he mentioned can definitely solve the current trouble, otherwise why would Jiuyou be so furious and murderous, as if he wanted to crush all obstacles in his way.

"You mean, no matter whether Xiao Fengzi lives or dies, Jiuyou must be killed in the end?"

Lei Gong suddenly interrupted, deliberately interrupting Jiuyou's roar. His words were ostensibly a response to Zhuang Mo, but in fact they were conveying information to Jiuyou, hinting at his grasp of the situation and his decision-making.

When he heard the authorities' stubbornness just now, he understood what Zhuang Mo meant. There is no such thing as a best of both worlds. The so-called two-way method is actually to let him put aside his worries and kill Jiuyou with a determined heart, forcing him to compromise in order to protect himself.

Simply put, Lei Gong cares about Feng Chen's safety, while Jiu You wants to get out of the predicament. There is both connection and entanglement between the two. This entanglement not only puts Jiu You under control, but also makes Lei Gong actively participate in it, becoming the key to this game.

As long as he puts aside his inner concerns and disregards Fengchen's life or death, then in the end Jiuyou will definitely exchange Fengchen for his own life. In this way, the dilemma will naturally be resolved.

Lei Gong understood the mystery, but he hinted at it indirectly. He wanted to put pressure on Jiuyou secretly through the conversation with Zhuang Mo, making him understand that he had made up his mind to fight to the death. If he had no intention of dying together with his friends, it would be better for him to return to Fengchen as soon as possible to avoid both of them being hurt and dying.

"That's right, Hall Master Lei probably has no other choice now. If you can save him, then save him. If you can't, then consider it as revenge for the child." Zhuang Mo also understood Lei Gong's intention, so he continued speaking along the way.

Jiuyou was trapped on the side. Hearing the two of them singing the same tune, he was already dissatisfied with Zhuang Mo. Now he was even more furious: "Boy, you keep interfering. When I get out of this, I will kill you first to vent my anger!!"

"If the Emperor can really do it, then just kill him." Zhuang Mo's answer was incoherent, which stunned Jiuyou and Lei Gong at the same time.

"kindness?"

"You kid..."

Lei Gong's eyes turned in confusion and he looked at Jiu You involuntarily, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.

However, Jiuyou's dusty appearance naturally made it hard to see much, but his eyes followed the flow of his spiritual thoughts, and he discovered Zhuang Mo's return. His anger suddenly disappeared, and instead he showed a bit more understanding.

"Forget it. For the sake of your ancestors, I won't bother with you. But... Alas!"

Jiuyou paused here, and for some reason he sighed again, and then continued: "You have the Holy Body of Demon Spirit, but you insist on learning the Taoist method, which is also mixed with traces of Buddhism. It seems that you are a pitiful person like that girl."

These words not only revealed Zhuang Mo's true character, but also revealed a past that he was unwilling to look back on, a past about Zhuang Mo's ancestors.

After hearing this, Zhuang Mo also said sadly: "I didn't expect that the Emperor still cares about the ancestor. In this case, why not do another favor and let this child live?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiu You did not respond, but Lei Gong nodded secretly, thinking that Zhuang Mo wanted to use the glory of his ancestors to save Feng Chen's life.

Although no one knows who his ancestor is, since he is an ancient demon and is acquainted with Jiuyou, he must be an extraordinary person. And judging from Jiuyou's reaction, it seems that they have a deep connection.

However, based on this point alone, would Jiuyou really do this favor?

Lei Gong felt uncertain, but apart from his resolute forcing, it seemed that Zhuang Mo's lobbying was also a feasible method. Thinking of this, Lei Gong's eyes flashed, but he just listened quietly without interrupting.

"Boy, why are you so determined to save this child?" After a moment, Jiu You did not respond to the previous words, but instead asked Zhuang Mo about his real purpose.

Zhuang Mo sighed: "Alas, I am trapped here, how can I have any extravagant hopes? All I want is to repay a favor."

"Favor?" Jiu You blinked and asked again in confusion, as if this word was quite new to him.

"That's right, this little guy's biological parents helped me a lot in the past. Their kindness is as deep as if they had reborn me. As a junior, I have to repay this debt of favor." As Zhuang Mo spoke, he inadvertently revealed complex emotions, with both resentment for the past and unspeakable sadness in his heart.

Jiuyou felt Zhuang Mo's emotional fluctuations and seemed to feel the same way. A sigh unconsciously floated across his eyes. But he quickly adjusted himself and gave Zhuang Mo a thumbs up: "Awesome, you are worthy of being a demon spirit body. You are so powerful in practicing spells from other sects. Your Tianyindu almost bewitched me."

"Oh, stop praising me, I'm embarrassed!" Zhuang Mo waved his hands and explained hastily, fearing that Jiuyou would misunderstand him. "I was just feeling a little down and accidentally released that power. Please don't mind it, Emperor."

"It's okay, it's a small matter." Jiuyou said lightly, but then he changed the subject and mentioned the child again, "However, this little guy is really important to me, otherwise based on the friendship between your ancestors, I would have agreed as soon as you asked. But now..." Jiuyou suddenly paused here, looking up at the sky, as if making some important decision.

After a while, Jiu You seemed to be nostalgic again and continued, "Forget it, for your sake, I will give you a favor, so that no one will complain in the future, and it will also give you a chance to pay back some of your debt."

After saying this, Jiu You did not give Zhuang Mo a chance to speak again, and turned to Lei Gong and said, "Boy from the Lei family, I think you are also capable, so I will tell you straight away, but don't bother me anymore after I'm done."

When Lei Gong heard this, he thought to himself that there might be a chance of a turnaround. As long as Jiuyou was willing to give in, Fengchen could be saved. As for whether Zhuang Mo's plan would work, he still had to observe.

In fact, he didn't want to do things too extreme, because it was really not easy to grasp the right balance.

If he pushes too hard, Jiuyou might become desperate and both sides will suffer; but if he doesn't push hard enough, Jiuyou will feel that he dare not really take ruthless action and his efforts may be in vain.

Therefore, Lei Gong hoped that this dilemma could be solved by Zhuang Mo. After all, gentle means were always better than head-on confrontation.

But Lei Gong also understood that the best way to deal with things was to use both kindness and force, and both soft and hard tactics, so he pretended to hesitate, then stared at Jiuyou for a while before saying, "It's okay to talk, but I have to say one thing first. If you, Jiuyou, can let my nephew go after you finish speaking, then my previous words will still count, and I guarantee that you can leave Leiming safely without any obstacles. But if you still don't let go after you finish speaking, then I, Lei, can only take ruthless action."

"Hmph, young man, don't be too confident. Wait until I finish talking."

"Then please go ahead!"

Lei Gong responded briefly, and Jiuyou then began to narrate: "This little kid has ancient spiritual energy, which was originally obtained by Mo Yuan after he stole the Tongtian Talisman from me. Later, he was killed and the Tongtian Talisman was lost. But he was also very smart. He actually extracted the essence of the Tongtian Talisman and merged it with his own demon body to become demonic energy. Therefore, this demonic energy can be invulnerable to all kinds of attacks and indestructible. His residual soul is also immortal because of this."

"Three years ago, someone broke through the formation. As soon as that kid surnamed Feng made a move, I could sense the aura of the Divine Pot Chapter on him. Later, when Mo Yuan escaped, I became even more certain of this. But the formation severely damaged my vitality, and the kid surnamed Feng was indeed very powerful. I had no choice but to use the secret treasure to escape, and then sank into the demonic energy with the cold spear, which led to the following events. So, you should understand that this Tongtian Talisman was originally mine. As for the life of this kid..."

Jiuyou paused here deliberately. His mind peered through Fengchen's eyes and stared closely at Lei Gong, as if he wanted to see from his eyes whether he would really make a ruthless decision, so that he could have an idea in his mind.

But under Jiuyou's gaze, Lei Gong did not react at all, his eyes remained as firm as before, without any sign of wavering.

Jiuyou saw this and didn't know what he was really thinking, so he continued, "Since I promised to do you a favor, I will leave him a chance to live. I will cut off 70% of his true spirit and leave only 30% for him to live. But how long he can live depends on his luck. If he really can't survive, then we can only say that it is his fate."

"Nonsense!"

Lei Gong was furious when he heard this, and he responded excitedly: "This child is born extraordinary, and his life has been rough, but how could he die so easily? Besides, the Tongtian Scroll is originally a treasure of our human beings. Why do you, Jiuyou, a demon, want to take it back? I think all your sweet words have failed, and you still want to deceive us."

"Stubborn!"

Jiuyou simply disdained it. He used his divine consciousness to communicate with Zhuang Mo and said contemptuously, "Boy, I'm afraid you can't repay your debt of favor. It's not that I don't want to help, but this child has a bad fate. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that this child is destined to die here."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes sparkled, and two faint lights shot out from his eyes, shining between his palms. As the spell in his palms condensed, the Tongtian Scroll was actually held upside down in his hands.

When Lei Gong saw this situation, he thought Jiuyou was going to use the Tongtian Talisman to perform some secret method in an attempt to escape, so he hurriedly pinched the Tianjue in his hand, preparing to trap Jiuyou with the Qiujue method.

However, as soon as his eyes fell on the Tongtian Talisman, before the spell was fully activated, he shouted in surprise: "This..."

It turned out that it was not the Tongtian Scroll he had seen before! !

Lei Gong was shocked to find that in addition to the Feng family's volume of the Divine Pot, Jiuyou actually also had a volume of the Tongtian Talisman in his hand, and judging from its intact form, this was a well-preserved volume of the mysterious true meaning.

"I didn't expect that you actually hid another volume. Could it be that this is the reason you were able to escape from Brother Feng's pursuit?" Lei Gong's surprise was mixed with anger, and also a hint of helplessness.

He was angry that a treasure like Tongtian Lu should have belonged to humans, but two volumes were hidden by Jiuyou, and because of this, he escaped Feng Wanlin's pursuit at the cost of his life and survived. Thinking of his old friend who devoted his life to killing the world but ultimately failed, how could he not feel hatred.

However, no matter how angry he was, it was useless now. Jiuyou held two scrolls of Tongtian Lu in his hands. No matter how confident Lei Gong was, he was worried that he could not withstand the power of the Great Dao Divine Weapon. In the end, he could only accept the reality with hatred and helplessness.
