Without any hesitation, both Old Lei and Uncle Chen stepped forward and came behind Zheng Qiulin, bowing with clasped hands in greeting!
Uncle Lei, a veteran Xuan God, showed no intention of resisting or fleeing for his life with Zheng Qiulin.
Because he knew very well that in front of this mysterious master, let alone escaping with Zheng Qiulin, he couldn't escape even if he tried to escape alone!
The difference is too big!
If the other side can kill Yue Peng as easily as killing a chicken, then killing him can be just as easy.
Such terrifying strength is beyond comprehension.
Even within the Zheng family, perhaps only the unique "Ancestor of the Zheng Family" could compare to him.
Only by accepting one's fate and letting things be done as they see fit might there be a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, more than half of the floating warships have already slipped away into the void in all directions!
Moreover, those who remained dared not linger any longer.
In just a dozen breaths, only Ye Wuque and Zheng Qiulin remained in the void in front of the Nightmare Forbidden Land.
Zheng Qiulin, Lei Lao, and Uncle Chen, who were bowing their heads and clasping their hands in greeting, did not dare to move an inch!
At this moment, they were like ants awaiting judgment, their tension, unease, fear, and panic palpable.
Even so, they dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction and could only wait obediently.
"Young Master Zheng is indeed very good at speaking..."
Until a certain moment, Ye Wuque's still indifferent voice rang out.
"Your words sound so righteous and awe-inspiring, but to anyone else it would seem like I'm using my power to bully you?"
Zheng Qiulin, Old Lei, and Uncle Chen's expressions immediately changed!
Zheng Qiulin immediately shook his head frantically, about to speak, but Ye Wuque's voice continued to ring out.
"But compared to the idiot I just crushed, you didn't mention your family background at all. You just tried to reason with me and appeal to my emotions, and with your status as a filial son, you wanted to move my heart?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiulin was shocked once again, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
As expected!
The mysterious adult in front of me could see right through me at a glance, and no little thought of mine could be hidden!
Zheng Qiulin's words were all true, but his desire to gamble on touching Ye Wuque's heart was also true.
In this situation, Zheng Qiulin was still able to try his best to fight one last time, which truly makes him a qualified young master and a talented person!
The void fell silent once more.
Zheng Qiulin and the other two dared not look up, but they were already drenched in sweat.
A few more breaths passed.
“Actually, I realized a long time ago that there was something wrong with you, this ‘Mr. Wang,’ otherwise you wouldn’t have done something like this for no reason.”
"But that makes me even more upset!"
Zheng Qiulin and the others felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.
"Someone is plotting against me! And incidentally, they've dragged you, Young Master Zheng, into it too!"
But as Ye Wuque continued to speak, Zheng Qiulin's heart was stirred with even greater turmoil!
yes!
This is clearly someone trying to drag him down with them!
even!
It was intentional; some strange power had been planted in Mr. Wang long ago, and it was activated at this moment to enrage the mysterious master, who wanted to use him as a tool to eliminate him in one fell swoop.
In an instant, many possible faces flashed through Zheng Qiulin's mind.
A hint of dereliction of duty and anger flashed in Old Lei's eyes!
Someone has set their sights on the young master!
So, he didn't even notice?
"so……"
"Your lives will be spared for now, there's no rush."
"But I'm going to find out exactly who dares to plot against me!"
"Whether he wants to use someone else to kill you or has other motives."
"I'll find him and slowly kill him!"
"I need to examine Mr. Wang's condition carefully, right now, in terms of location..."
"Go to your airship!"
"Is there a problem?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qiulin, Old Lei, and Uncle Chen were all dumbfounded and didn't even react.
But in the next instant, Elder Lei immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Of course, no problem! That's only right! Please, sir..."
A moment later.
Inside the floating warship.
Zheng Qiulin, Lei Lao, and Chen Shu stood obediently, motionless, their eyes all fixed on a quiet room deep inside the cabin.
Ye Wuque had already taken the unconscious Mr. Wang inside.
They could only stand outside and wait, not knowing what was happening inside.
"Mr. Lei, is Mr. Wang alright?" Zheng Qiulin was still worried and couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not. Judging from the recent events, this mysterious figure is not a bloodthirsty person and adheres to the principle of fair trade. Otherwise, we would probably all be reduced to ashes by now!"
"We are still alive because this lord is principled. It is truly a great blessing for the Second Steward to have met him in the Nightmare Forbidden Land! Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain this Heavenly Fragrance Resurrection Grass." Old Lei said, his tone filled with certainty.
Zheng Qiulin already had the answer in his heart, but he nodded when he heard Lei Lao's reply.
"Yes! It's our good fortune to meet a principled adult, no matter what!"
"But what exactly happened to Mr. Wang? Why would he suddenly act like this? Who was behind it? Could it be one of the other factions?" Zheng Qiulin began to ponder.
The Zheng family of the Tuoyang Universe is naturally also internally complex.
"Probably not. Even if those old guys make a move, they can't hide it from me! So, that's what I find strange!" Old Lei shook his head, then looked puzzled.
At this moment, in the quiet room.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The intense power of cause and effect had spread out, completely enveloping Mr. Wang, who was floating in the void.
Ye Wuque stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"No wonder they didn't kill him to silence him after activating him, and even spared his life."
"The remaining trace of 'bloodline' within him is extremely special; it actually possesses the aura of a ferocious beast!"
"This trace of bloodline lies dormant in his body. It may seem insignificant, but it has actually been someone else's trump card for a long time."
“Someone used this ‘bloodline’ as a medium and employed ‘cause and effect’ tactics.”
"Or rather, any creature that possesses a similar 'beast bloodline' has already been under the other party's surveillance for a long time."
"In other words, the person or force behind the 'ferocious beast bloodline' in Mr. Wang's body is very likely the enemy force that destroyed 'Wu Tian Dao' in the past?"
Ye Wuque seemed to be deep in thought.
The trace of "fierce beast bloodline" in Mr. Wang's body has been completely burned away!
The connection between cause and effect has vanished, completely severing the trail.
Therefore, the fact that he did not kill to cover it up suggests extreme arrogance and self-confidence.
However!
This was still a huge weakness for Ye Wuque, who possessed the "Love-longing Emperor Technique".
The power and unpredictability of the Love-Sickness Imperial Art cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
"I saw it!"
Soon, Ye Wuque's eyes flashed, and his perspective immediately entered Mr. Wang's body.
Although the bloodline has been burned out.
Although cause and effect have disappeared.
However, under the power of the Lovesick Emperor's Technique, it has been successfully brought back to its original source!
This moment.
Inside Mr. Wang's body, he saw a... mirror!
It seems that cause and effect are mirrored here!
"This is an ancient causal supernatural power! Hmm? This aura?"
The next instant, on the surface of the mirror of cause and effect, Ye Wuque clearly saw a phantom image flash by!
That was a fox, exuding an ancient, primal, ferocious, and eerie aura.
Nine illusory tails were faintly visible behind it!
"An ancient ferocious beast... a nine-tailed celestial fox??"
Ye Wuque's eyes flashed instantly.
Click!
Then, everything shattered again.
The causal energy around Mr. Wang dissipated, and he returned to calm, but remained unconscious.
Ye Wuque stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox... a legendary ancient ferocious beast, indeed skilled in the arts of cause and effect and illusion!"
"But it shouldn't be a real Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. What the other side is controlling should also be the bloodline power of a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!"
"It's just that it's purer and more powerful."
"But why do I feel a faint sense of déjà vu in the aura emanating from this nine-tailed celestial fox beast phantom?"
"It seems I've encountered a similar 'beastly' aura before?"
With this thought in mind, Ye Wuque stopped and led Mr. Wang out of the quiet room.
"grown ups!"
Upon seeing Ye Wuque, the three people inside the ship's cabin immediately bowed respectfully.
"He's not dead. He should wake up after a few days of being in a coma."
Ye Wuque spoke calmly.
Zheng Qiulin visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ye Wuque looked at Zheng Qiulin and said calmly, "Tell me everything you know about Mr. Wang's past, especially his secrets!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiulin immediately nodded, not daring to hide anything or hesitate in the slightest!
"Replying to your question, sir, if we're talking about Mr. Wang's biggest secret..."
“Mr. Wang’s identity is extremely special. He is my mother’s distant cousin. When my mother was very young, she and Mr. Wang disappeared together, but later, they were inexplicably sent back together.”
“My mother and Mr. Wang can’t explain the disappearance clearly, but my mother said that she had a dream when she was a child in which she and Mr. Wang were sent to a terrifying place!”
"This should be the biggest secret."
"And in that place, there are so many terrifying monsters! And so many children like her and Mr. Wang!"
“I listened to it as a story when I was little, and my mother only remembered a few names and couldn’t say anything else clearly. Plus, nothing happened after that!”
"So, over time, I stopped caring so much about it."
"What names does your mother remember?"
"Replying to you, sir, Mother always remembered the name of the place where she and Mr. Wang were kidnapped. She regained consciousness at the time, but because she was afraid, she continued to pretend to be unconscious. So she heard a few words. Mother said that the place, which was full of monsters, was called... Beast!"
"The full name should be... Beast Organization!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuque's expression remained unchanged, but a storm of emotions surged within him in an instant!
