Father Jin snorted coldly and asked, "So, you used conspiracy and trickery to kill the lord?!"

Wu Zheng looked at Father Jin with a complicated expression and said, "You know me. I'm a rather extreme person, both in my actions and my personality. After learning the truth, I had only one thought: to destroy my lord, to make him fulfill the punishment for breaking his oath, and to die without a trace. I even wanted to overthrow the Gu family's rule and take their place, to avenge my hatred."

"And continue to fulfill our vows!"

"However, seeing the lord's final despair and self-destruction, I felt like I had suddenly woken from a nightmare. I abandoned this plan and let the young master inherit the throne. I hope he can continue the ambitions of the lord and me."

"I didn't expect that in the end, it would kill Gu Yan and leave the lord without an heir."

"To be honest, I really, really regret forcing the Lord to death!"

Father Jin looked at Wu Zheng with a complicated expression. At the time, they had just experienced the pain of losing everything and couldn't withstand any more blows. Especially the kind of blow that came with giving them hope, only to find themselves in despair!

He chose to leave, hide his wisdom, raise his offspring, and remain silent.

Wu Zheng, however, chose revenge!

Father Jin understood Wu Zheng's madness! Father Jin also wanted to go crazy once, but he had a family to support, including his wife and children, so he couldn't go crazy.

But Wu Zheng was different. Only the Wu brothers were left in the Wu Zheng family, having fled to the water stronghold. He had no ties, so he could give it a go!

If he had not taken revenge at that time, he would have gone crazy, lost the motivation and courage to live, and would have lost his life.

It took Father Jin three or four years to recover, but Wu Zheng only woke up after his lord blew himself up.

Relatively speaking, Mr. Jin is much luckier than Wu Zheng.

"If we had the same mindset and attitude as we have now, it would have been great. You wouldn't have left the Lord, and I wouldn't have harmed the Lord. Perhaps we could have cured the Lord's heart disease. Now, the situation might be completely different!"

Father Jin sighed. He had made many such assumptions after hearing the bad news about his lord. However, he understood that these were just his fantasies.

The tragedy that had already happened could not be reversed. He could only do his best to remedy the situation and fulfill his master's will.

The current situation was truly an unexpected outcome. However, neither of them complained, but chose to shoulder the responsibility and continue to fulfill their vows.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Wu Zheng spoke again: "Why are you suddenly worried about the Tiandao Mercenary System? What happened?"

Although Wu Zheng was well-informed, he was referring to the events in the water stronghold. The incident with the corpse-eating demon tree happened in the wilderness at dusk, right beside Jin's father, surrounded by his trusted aides.

Wu Zhengke was not able to get news from Jin's father so quickly, especially news from the shore.

Father Jin came to see Wu Zheng just to discuss this matter, so he told him everything without hiding anything.

After hearing this, Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what has caused you to lose your composure?"

"Isn't this serious? This could be a new alien invasion, just like the corpse demon!"

Wu Zheng looked at Father Jin in surprise and asked, "You only just discovered now that the Tiandao Mercenary System is from another world?"

"What?! Is this true?!" Although Father Jin had some guesses a long time ago, he didn't dare to believe it, or was afraid that it was true, so he deliberately avoided it and did not verify this terrible guess in his mind.

Unexpectedly, I got confirmation from Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng asked curiously, "You have three Tiandao mercenaries living in your house, and one of them is even your son. How could you not know about this after all this time?"

If he inquired in detail about the Tiandao Mercenary System, with Father Jin's wisdom, he should be able to come to the same conclusion as him.

Father Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaochen and I have never been close since we were young. Now that he's in his rebellious phase, he's even less likely to tell me about the system. Furthermore, Fang Yuan and the other two seem to have a tacit understanding of not explaining the system in detail. Therefore, I still only have a vague understanding of the Tiandao Mercenary System. Although I have some guesses, I can't be sure."

Wu Zheng exclaimed in admiration, "I didn't expect the three of them to be so tight-lipped. That's a good thing. If I were to obtain the system, I would also do my best to conceal all information about it. If I can't conceal it, I would tell others half-truths so that they can't see my true hand. This is the wisdom and virtue that a true warrior should possess."

Wu Zheng's praise made Father Jin smile helplessly. At this time, he still had the mind to praise them. If it was true, then this would be a big deal.

Seeing Mr. Jin's anxiety, Wu Zheng comforted him, "Don't worry. Things aren't that bad. Let me first tell you about the intelligence I got from Zheng Yuan about the system. Please help me analyze it."

Then, Wu told Jin's father in detail the information he had obtained from Zheng Yuan over the past two days. After that, he sighed, "Compared with Jin Chen and the other three, Zheng Yuan really can't be considered a true warrior."

For Zheng Yuan, the Tiandao Mercenary System is a platform that allows him to become a great businessman and a special purchasing channel.

Therefore, Zheng Yuan is not a real warrior, and he has no concept of the system or the lord.

Zheng Yuan has not received an orthodox warrior education. He has no concept of loyalty to his lord. He does not have the virtues inherited from his warrior family, nor the wisdom inherited from his aristocratic family. Therefore, Zheng Yuan has no vigilance towards the system and has no awareness of keeping the system confidential.

Therefore, although Wu Zheng only had Zheng Yuan who possessed the Tiandao Mercenary System, and the time was only two days, he obtained more information about the system than Father Jin.

After listening to Wu Zheng's information about the system, Father Jin was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "After hearing your information, I have confirmed that the Tiandao Mercenary System comes from another world. However, its purpose is to destroy the ancestors of the corpse demons and quell the corpse demon disaster? Is this possible?"

Why did Father Jin feel so unreal? Could there be such a kind person who didn't ask for anything in return? And he was helping people from another world!

Whether Wu Zheng believes it or not, Father Jin doesn’t believe it anyway!

Wu Zheng smiled knowingly and said, "At first, I didn't believe it either, but later on, I began to believe it a little."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"To us, they are all from another world, but to them, they might also be from another world. Moreover, judging by their tit-for-tat confrontation, they might even be two hostile aliens."
