Looking at the two big words "Hong Yan" on the screen, Hong Zhu hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. He walked to the side and lightly said, "Hong Yan, what's the matter?"
"Well, Hong Zhu, is everything going well on your side? I've encountered a small situation here. " Hong Yan's tone was also very flat. Although her voice was soft, it didn't have the slightest emotion. It sounded like she was talking to a stranger.
"It's not bad! I've found two women with spiritual energy. What happened on your side? You couldn't have messed up the mission, right? "Hong Zhu curled his lips and teased with a grin.
"I don't want to quarrel with you. I'm just calling to remind you to keep an eye on the women you've found. Two of my people have gone missing. I speculate that it might be the work of the Ghost Cultivation Sect." Hong Yan didn't respond and coldly said.
"What?! Two people have gone missing? " Hong Zhu frowned and finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He put away the smile on his face and said in a heavy voice, "I also have one missing. According to what you said, it should also be the work of the Ghost Cultivation Sect!"
"It seems that our situation is the same. The Ghost Cultivation Sect is really fast …" Hong Yan's heart sank as she muttered.
"But … how can they still have people in the secular world?" Hong Zhu pondered for a moment and said with a puzzled expression, "If I remember correctly, weren't they cleaned up by the Song Family?"
"Song Qingshu also thought so at that time. But it turns out that there are still disciples of the Ghost Cultivation Sect in the secular world!" Hong Yan slightly sighed and said, "And not only in the secular world, but also in the outer martial world. I've found two women in Tianfang Province and the Devil Star Sect with great difficulty, but now their whereabouts are unknown."
"Outer martial world? The Ghost Cultivation Sect is really like a centipede, dying but not falling down. We have swept through them time and time again, but we have not been able to exterminate them! "Hong Zhu hatefully said.
"That's the specific situation." Hong Yan warned again, "Hong Zhu, you'd better keep an eye on the remaining woman. Don't let them have their way again."
"I know, you don't need to repeatedly remind me, I will naturally do that. Is there anything else?" Hong Zhu asked coldly, a little impatient.
No one spoke on the other end of the line, but the sound of rapid breathing could be heard. It was obvious that Hong Yan had been angered by Hong Zhu's cold and indifferent attitude.
However, Hong Yan quickly calmed down. After pondering for a moment, she calmly said, "Elder Sister, the Immortal Cultivation Sect has reached a critical juncture. It would be better for you to reconsider and participate in the sacrificial ceremony!"
"Oh, you're finally willing to acknowledge me as your sister? I thought you would never call me 'Sister' again in this lifetime! " At this moment, Hong Zhu's mood was somewhat complicated. She couldn't tell if she was happy or sad, but she could feel her eyes gradually moistening.
"Since we are related by blood, I won't deny it." Hong Yan's voice also trembled a little. She took a deep breath and changed the topic. "Sister, think about it carefully! If the Ghost Cultivation Sect is one step ahead of us and enters the Immortal Cultivation World, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Hong Zhu's emotions were stuck in his throat and he didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, his expression gradually turned cold. He clenched his teeth and sneered. "Hehe, in the end, you're still only thinking about the interests of the family!"
"Elder Sister …" Hong Yan had just called out when Hong Zhu ruthlessly said, "I admit that I'm not as great as you. Since there are others who can replace me, why must I be the sacrifice?"
"Elder Sister, you don't need to mock and ridicule me. I'm not as great as you say!" Hong Yan's voice also became agitated. "In any case, we were born in such a family and can't decide our own fate, so why should we make things difficult for others?"
"Make things difficult? Did we burn, kill, plunder, rob, or threaten others? " Hong Zhu immediately retorted. "We only let others participate in the sacrificial ceremony when they are willing. How is this making things difficult? This is called taking what we need! "
"But this is only our family's matter. Isn't it a little too cruel to let a few innocent outsiders bear this responsibility?" Hong Yan's tone was somewhat angry.
"My dear younger sister, you've used the wrong word again. Where does cruelty come from?" Hong Zhu sneered. "Not to mention that the sacrificial ceremony might not necessarily cost their lives, we've already given them enough in return. This is purely a transaction!"
"But under the current circumstances, do you still have time to slowly make a transaction with others?" Hong Yan was also a little unable to suppress her emotions. She angrily said, "If the Ghost Cultivation Sect enters the Immortal Cultivation World in advance, have you ever thought about how much harm it will cause to the common people? The Ghost Cultivation Sect is so morally bankrupt and does all kinds of evil. How much blood will it bring about? "
"Hehe, it seems that our values are still different!" Hong Zhu repeatedly shook his head. Unwilling to be outdone, he retorted, "Do you think that the family wants to open the Immortal Cultivation World just to curb the development of the Ghost Cultivation Sect? If the Immortal Cultivation Sect doesn't want to obtain the resources and strength in the Immortal Cultivation World, they just need to focus their energy on the Ghost Cultivation Sect and do their best to eliminate them in advance. Why do they still need to spend so much manpower and resources to enter the Immortal Cultivation World? "
"This is the fate of the family. Since we're juniors, we naturally have no right to ask or resist. You should know that …" Hong Yan replied as if it was a matter of course.
Before Hong Yan could finish speaking, Hong Zhu became angry and impatiently interrupted, "Enough! You don't need to use the family's way to educate me. In short, I'm not willing to exchange my life for the interests of that family. That's it!"
As soon as his voice faded, Hong Zhu directly hung up the phone and his complexion turned very unsightly.
Every time he talked to his obedient little sister on the phone, it would always end up as if they were quarreling. Although the two of them didn't have any substantial conflicts, they couldn't coexist in some aspects. This made Hong Zhu very unhappy, so he usually wouldn't take the initiative to contact Hong Yan.
In the eyes of everyone in the Hong Family, Hong Yan was always that gentle and obedient girl. No matter what kind of mission the family gave her, she would carry it out without any hesitation. Even when it came to risking her life to become a sacrifice, Hong Yan had never said a single word of objection.
Although they were sisters, Hong Zhu's personality was worlds apart from Hong Yan's. In the eyes of the family, she was synonymous with "rebellious".
Ever since she was young, Hong Zhu had disregarded the Hong Family's objections and insisted on learning the art of charm. She had even caused a huge ruckus in the family, refusing to become a sacrifice for opening the Immortal Cultivation World no matter what. She would rather sneak into the secular world or the martial world and rely on her own strength to find other suitable candidates.
