Hearing Tang Zheng's meaningful words, the Shura snorted disdainfully and said frivolously, "Then let's see how you're going to make me listen to you."
Tang Zheng already had a plan and asked, "You want to keep increasing your intelligence, right?"
The Shura rolled his eyes and muttered, "You already know the answer."
"The way you increase your intelligence is through the Ksitigarbha Sutra, right?"
The Shura didn't say anything and couldn't be bothered to answer.
Tang Zheng didn't get angry and continued to ask, "In this world, other than the Dizang Of Goguryeo, I'm the only one who knows the Ksitigarbha Sutra. If I don't cooperate with you, do you think your intelligence will increase rapidly?"
The Shura's eyes suddenly widened and said, "What can I do if you don't cooperate? If you have the ability to suppress me without using the Ksitigarbha Sutra, then see what I'll do? "
"Hahaha …" Tang Zheng didn't answer and instead laughed loudly.
This laughter made the Shura panic and he asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at how stupid you are!" Tang Zheng coldly reprimanded.
"I'm stupid? I've already unlocked my intelligence and you still dare to call me stupid? " The Shura retorted hoarsely.
This performance was exactly what Tang Zheng wanted.
In fact, he had already evaluated the Shura's intelligence.
In the desert, the Shura's intelligence had just been unlocked and wasn't high, equivalent to a kindergarten child. Later on, after being suppressed by the Ksitigarbha Sutra, his intelligence increased by a lot and was now equivalent to a primary school student. The difference between him and Tang Zheng was like heaven and earth.
Seeing that the Shura didn't have any shrewdness and was easily angered, Tang Zheng was even more certain of this point. This made things even easier to handle.
"Of course you're stupid. Do you think you can rely on brute force to fight for the world and contend against Chi You? Your thinking is too simple. If this isn't stupidity, then what is? The Ksitigarbha Sutra may have opened up your wisdom but you are currently like a three year old child so how could you possibly contend against Chi You? "Tang Zheng purposely used a disdainful tone as he spoke with disdain.
This set of provocation was very effective. The Shura was immediately speechless and panted heavily.
"Unless your intelligence improves by leaps and bounds, you won't be able to compete with the vicious and merciless Chi You." Tang Zheng deliberately directed his hatred towards Chi You.
It was not unreasonable to say that public opinion could distort the truth and accumulation could corrode the bones.
A person with the intelligence of a child would not notice if hatred was instilled into their ears. They would only accept it bit by bit, and it would seep deep into their bones.
Tang Zheng had used this method to make Shura view Chi You as an enemy. Even if he couldn't win Shura's heart, he would still plant hatred for Chi You in Shura's heart.
Moreover, the two of them had already experienced a life and death battle, which only deepened the Shura's hatred.
This was a method he had no choice but to use. It wasn't very clever, but when he thought about how Chi You had sacrificed hundreds of millions of lives, as well as the harm he could bring to the world, Tang Zheng couldn't care less.
The Shura's eyes flickered with hesitation and hatred. In the end, he stomped his foot and said through gritted teeth, "Then what do you think?"
This method of implanting hatred had worked.
"I'll continuously use the Ksitigarbha Sutra to increase your intelligence so that you'll have a way to contend against Chi You in the future. “
The Shura's eyes lit up and he nodded. "This is a good idea."
In fact, he knew that he was mentally deficient, which was why he was so excited.
He knew exactly how useful the Ksitigarbha Sutra was to him. Apart from Tang Zheng, he really had no other way.
"There's no free lunch in this world. Everything has a price. In exchange, you must listen to my orders." Tang Zheng added, pouring cold water on the Shura.
The Shura flew into a rage. "You're still giving up and want me to listen to you."
Tang Zheng remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Whether you agree or not is up to you. In any case, I've already told you the way, but time waits for no one. If your intelligence increases, your cultivation will increase even faster. Chi You is not an ordinary person. If you wait for him to leave you far behind, then you will never be able to catch up to him and you will completely lose your chance."
In the face of Tang Zheng's fanning the flames, the Shura fell into silence.
Tang Zheng was not in a hurry to avoid being seen through by the other party. He deliberately played it down and said, "Think about it yourself. I'll wait for your answer."
With that, his consciousness left Sumeru World, leaving the Shura to think by himself.
Bang bang bang!
A series of strong knocks on the door rang out. Martial's voice came in. "Tang Zheng, quickly open the door. Master and Mistress are gone."
"What?" Tang Zheng stood up and rushed out with large strides, only to see Martial anxiously standing at the door. Ever since the two of them met, he had rarely seen Martial like this, so his heart skipped a beat. He held onto her shoulders and said gently: "Calm down, tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"
Martial said anxiously, "Just now, I went to find Master and Mistress, but there was no response after knocking on the door for a long time. Then, I rushed in and found that the room was empty. Then, I went to ask the Witch Clan disciples and they saw Master and Mistress leave."
Tang Zheng did not notice anything unusual and asked, "What's so strange about that? They are adults now, so they must have gone out by themselves. They will come back, so there's no need to make a fuss. "
"I think so too, but when I called Master and Mistress, their phones were turned off. It was as if they had disappeared." Tang Zheng explained.
Martial stubbornly shook his head. "No, that's not right. I feel very bad this time. Something must have happened."
Seeing how persistent Martial was, Tang Zheng patted her shoulder and said, "They are not ordinary people. Their martial arts have reached perfection. How could ordinary people be their match?"
"If it was before, I would definitely not be worried. But now that there are strong enemies everywhere and such powerful cultivators have appeared, I can't help but worry. Moreover, all of this is too abnormal." Martial insisted.
Seeing how persistent Martial was, Tang Zheng's head sank. He knew that she was not an unreasonable person and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go to their room and see if there are any clues."
The capital was indeed not peaceful. Although Lan Yu and Wu Junshan's strength was not shallow, it was different from the past. What if others could not deal with Tang Zheng and came to deal with them?
After all, they were his biological parents.
Moreover, the chief had a grudge with them, so he had to be on guard.
Wu Liu was at a loss as he followed beside Tang Zheng, firmly holding onto his hand. The others heard the commotion and walked out one after another.
After hearing the whole story, Fang Shishi comforted him, "Martial, don't worry. Uncle and Auntie are both experts. Moreover, the heavens help the worthy. Nothing will happen to them."
Martial's face was ugly as he shook his head bitterly, not knowing how to reply.
Everyone came to a villa next door. Wu Junshan, his wife and Tang Dahai all lived in this villa and were neighbors with Tang Zheng and the others. This was to give Tang Zheng and the others some space.
Tang Dahai had also heard the commotion. Seeing Tang Zheng come in, he hurriedly walked over and grabbed Tang Zheng's other hand. He said earnestly, "Little Zheng, they are your parents. You must find them and ensure that they are safe."
Tang Dahai and Wu Junshan got along very well. One was his biological parents, while the other was the person who raised Tang Zheng with a handful of shit and urine. Because of the bond of Tang Zheng, the two sides were tightly tied together and had a natural sense of intimacy.
Looking at his grandfather's anxious eyes, Tang Zheng supported him and comforted him, "Grandfather, don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen to them."
Tang Dahai heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his grandson with gratification, saying, "With your words, I am relieved. They are all good people and have always cared about you. If they hear your words, they will definitely be very happy."
Tang Zheng's heart moved. He had already decided to ease his relationship with his biological parents. It was just that he had been running around and did not have the time to do so in his daily life.
Creak!
The door opened, and Tang Zheng walked in with large strides. Sweeping his eyes around, he saw that their bedroom was very simple, but it did not lose its warmth. This was a bedroom that Lan Yu had specially decorated. It was less graceful and luxurious, but had more of a rural coziness.
He walked in and glanced around. It was as if he could breathe in their air. This was the smell of kinship, causing his heart to tremble slightly.
"Eh, what is this?"
Ye Dingdang mischievously walked around the room and found an envelope on a small desk in the corner. The words "To Tang Zheng" were written on it.
"Tang Zheng, this is for you." Ye Dingdang handed the letter to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng took it in surprise and glanced at it. It was Lan Yu's handwriting — graceful, but with a sense of power.
The words were like the person, leaving a deep impression.
The attention of the others was attracted and they all stared at the envelope.
Tang Zheng opened the envelope. There was only a thin piece of paper with densely packed words on it.
The others wanted to see what was written on it, but when they saw Tang Zheng's eyes fall on the letter and his expression change, they understood that there was a change in the situation. When Tang Zheng finished reading, they all asked with concern, "What is written on it?"
"They have left." Tang Zheng said with a complicated expression. There were too many emotions between his eyebrows. For a moment, it was difficult to describe clearly.
"Left?" Wu was shocked. "Why would they leave? They are living well here. Moreover, you are still here. How could they be willing to leave?"
Wu understood his master and master's wife very well. They could sacrifice their lives for Tang Zheng, so how could they be willing to leave him?
This did not make sense.
But after Tang Zheng read the letter, he understood the cause and effect. He also somewhat understood the two of them.
"Take a look for yourselves."
Tang Zheng passed the letter to Wu, and the others surrounded him. Pairs of eyes curiously stared at the letter, and gradually, shock and confusion appeared on their faces.
Tang Dahai did not join in the fun to read the letter. Instead, he looked at Tang Zheng with a burning gaze. He and his grandson had been together day and night for more than ten years. They relied on each other for survival. He knew Tang Zheng very well. From his reaction, he could see some clues.
"They left because of you?" Tang Dahai sighed and asked faintly.
Tang Zheng nodded bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would give them so much trouble."
