The Four Symbols Venerables swept away all the old subordinates of the Yellow Emperor at the peak of the mountain, leaving only Liu Wuxin and Ye Meiyu, the two fish that escaped the net. However, they were unable to take advantage of the situation and chase after them, because Tang Zheng had also reached the critical moment of life and death.
The pure yang energy contained within the Life Totem entered his body. Even though Ye Dingdang's pure yin energy helped him to temporarily avoid the danger of his body exploding, the danger still did not disappear.
Bang!
The Four Symbols Venerables knelt on one knee and lowered their heads. The fierce and domineering aura around them had decreased by seventy to eighty percent.
If Liu Wuxin saw this scene, he would definitely not have escaped so quickly and would have thought of a way to counterattack.
The Four Symbols Venerables were like a mask, causing Liu Wuxin to be unable to see through Tang Zheng's real situation and misjudge the situation.
Huff!
Huff! Tang Zheng gasped for breath, his face pale. He also knelt on one knee, his posture exactly the same as the Four Symbols Venerables.
Ye Dingdang looked at him worriedly, but she could not say anything and was powerless to do anything.
Tang Zheng's entire body trembled as if he was struggling on the verge of death. He was very clear on his own situation and knew that he could die at any moment. However, he was not willing to give up. He took a deep breath and used his hands to support himself on the ground and stood up.
The Four Symbols Venerables stood up at the same time as him.
With a thought, Tang Zheng and Ye Dingdang retreated from the Four Symbols Venerables' body. The Four Symbols Venerables were kept into Sumeru World. He stood on the mountain top, the biting cold mountain wind ruffling his clothes.
Ye Dingdang lay on the side, her eyes open with difficulty as she stared at him without blinking.
"Dingdang, I will definitely protect you back and find a way to cure you." Tang Zheng vowed solemnly.
Ye Dingdang blinked, not doubting his words at all, but she was more worried about his physical condition.
Tang Zheng read her thoughts and the corner of his mouth opened, revealing a bitter smile. He lightly brushed the hair in front of her forehead and said: "Don't worry, I am an unkillable cockroach. I won't die so easily."
He took out his phone and dialed the number of his home.
After a few beeps, a clear but dignified voice rang out.
"Empyrean Fairy, please send someone from home to pick me up. Something has happened here and I can't leave unharmed for the time being." Tang Zheng said concisely.
The Empyrean Maiden seemed to be very surprised. She asked, "What happened?"
"You'll know when someone from my family comes. I'm here. The sooner you get here, the better." Tang Zheng told the Empyrean Fairy's location location, with her and her family's intelligence, they would be able to accurately find him.
Empyrean Fairy did not ask further, but her heart trembled.
Tang Zheng had never asked for help so weakly before. He must have encountered something very serious, so there was no time to lose. The longer he delayed, the more dangerous it would be. Her relationship with Tang Zheng was very subtle. Under the same roof, they met each other day and night. They were no longer ordinary friends.
However, after hearing this news, she did not have the time to tell anyone else. She impatiently left the capital and flew straight to her destination.
The sky darkened and brightened.
Tang Zheng and Ye Dingdang stayed on the peak of the mountain for an entire night. There were no traces of people, and there were no wild beasts either. Tang Zheng lit up a bonfire to drive away the cold for Ye Dingdang.
His condition was simply too terrible. There was no way for him to bring her down the mountain safely, so he might as well stay on the mountain and wait for his family.
Moreover, Liu Wuxin and Ye Meiyu were extremely cunning. If they were to ambush him at the foot of the mountain, with his current strength, he might not be their match. Therefore, the most effective method was to deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo.
Liu Wuxin and Ye Meiyu had indeed not escaped far. They had been hiding at the foot of the mountain for a long time, but they did not see Tang Zheng coming down the mountain. However, they did not dare to rashly go up the mountain, as they were worried that they would not be able to go down the mountain.
The two of them hesitated for a long time, but in the end, they did not have the courage to go up the mountain to investigate, so they turned and left.
In the middle of the night, the two of them met up with the rest of the group.
Seeing the two of them in such a sorry state, Mo Xie's expression changed slightly, but he did not immediately flare up. After the others had all left, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Liu Wuxin lowered his head dejectedly, and told the whole story with righteous indignation.
When Mo Xie heard this, his long eyebrows trembled non-stop. His eyes overflowed with a bright light, as if a sharp sword light was about to fly out from his pupils.
"Tang Zheng actually knows our plan?"
"Yes, he guessed it word for word."
Liu Wuxin was also in disbelief.
"Where did he get this information from?" Mo Xie asked, his eyes burning as he stared at Liu Wuxin. Only the two of them knew about this plan, but an outsider knew about the details.
Liu Wuxin squinted his eyes and stared back at Mo Xie.
Mo Xie's expression relaxed, and said: "Of course it can't be the two of us."
Mo Xie could not believe others, but he would not believe that Liu Wuxin and Tang Zheng had colluded in private. This was because he understood Liu Wuxin very well. Liu Wuxin's loyalty to the Yellow Emperor could be seen by the heavens and earth, and would not change.
"Then how did he know?" Ye Meiyu already knew about their plan. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with them hiding this matter from her, she did not dare to say anything.
Seeing that the two of them had fallen into silence, she could not help but ask curiously.
Mo Xie looked at her deeply and asked: "What do you think?"
Ye Meiyu was startled, and said resentfully: "This junior is ignorant, how could I know?"
Mo Xie sighed inwardly, thinking that you are not being modest. Back then, when Nightmare chose you as his disciple, I'm afraid it was not the best choice.
Mo Xie was able to see through people, and most people would not be able to escape his fiery golden eyes.
Although Ye Meiyu had been acting all this time, deliberately concealing her actions and true style, she still gave herself away and did not escape Mo Xie's eyes.
Mo Xie gradually understood this successor of Nightmare Lord.
She was indeed not a person with much intelligence and wisdom. It could even be said that she was sometimes stupid. She was narrow-minded and could not achieve great goals.
However, Mo Xie did not point it out.
He needed Ye Meiyu's strength.
Back then, Nightmare Lord played a pivotal role under the Yellow Emperor, and Nightmare Lord's successor would naturally play a pivotal role in the future.
After all, Liu Wuxin was not a stupid person like Ye Meiyu. He was experienced and knowledgeable, and after Mo Xie's words, his heart suddenly lit up and he said: "Could it be that he has an expert guiding him from behind?"
Mo Xie looked at Liu Wuxin with admiration. As expected of an old friend, they had thought of the same thing.
Liu Wuxin could see through Mo Xie's thoughts from his reaction, and it was actually the same as hers. She quickly asked: "Then which expert is guiding him from behind? Could it be that Empyrean Fairy? "
They knew very little about the Empyrean Fairy, as the Empyrean Fairy was a person who appeared long after they died.
Mo Xie muttered to himself for a while, then shook his head bitterly: "I don't think so."
"Doesn't look like?" Liu Wuxin looked at him in astonishment, "Other than the Empyrean Fairy, who else could it be? If it was Chi You, he might be able to see through our plan, but Chi You and Tang Zheng have already broken off, so it is impossible for him to be in cahoots. Then it must be someone else, but we have not seen any other experts appear in Tang Zheng's life. "
Liu Wuxin muttered to himself, constantly looking for flaws and key points.
Mo Xie still couldn't see through the mystery and helplessly said, "There will be a day when the truth will surface. Since our plan has been exposed, there's no time to lose. We can't afford to slack off. Send everyone to collect the remaining pure Yang energy in the Life Totem as quickly as possible. We can't afford to make any more mistakes this time. "
Mo Xie's orders were unquestionable, and Liu Wuxin had no objections. He nodded heavily and passed down the order.
The Yellow Emperor's old subordinates immediately took action, setting out through the night and rushing to the remaining vitality totems.
Liu Wuxin's injuries were not light, so he had no choice but to stay behind and recuperate while waiting for the good news.
Mo Xie stood in the darkness, looking up at the stars in the sky. The starry sky had already returned to its appearance from hundreds of thousands of years ago. There was no fog, and the sky was clear. He could clearly see the stars in the sky.
Mo Xie couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen under the Tree of Life. That colossus, the Asura, had made his heart palpitate. That big fellow and Tang Zheng were in cahoots. This time, Tang Zheng had not taken out that killing weapon, which meant he had not reached the end of his rope.
That made it even harder for people to see through Tang Zheng. He was not like other Celestials. Once they absorbed a large amount of pure Yang energy, they would die on the spot, their bodies exploding.
But Tang Zheng had broken this curse. This puzzled Mo Xie, and he had no choice but to reevaluate Tang Zheng.
This minor character he had never paid attention to before had ruined his plans time and time again, and each time, his strength was more shocking than the last.
This was karmic luck.
Mo Xie believed in karmic luck.
If a person who was not very strong had karmic luck and some true ability, they would definitely become an ambitious and ruthless character. They might even become the ruler of a region.
Back then, the Yellow Emperor's karmic luck was better than Chi You's. That was why he had won and Chi You had lost.
Mo Xie had no choice but to admit that even if Tang Zheng was not as strong as the Yellow Emperor, his karmic luck was not much worse. Could it be that in the ancient era, Chi You was their enemy, and now that it was the new era, they would have a new enemy? Tang Zheng?
Mo Xie had a huge question mark in his heart.
Regardless of whether Tang Zheng was a new enemy or not, they could not treat him lightly. They had to treat him the same as Chi You.
Furthermore, he decided to silently investigate the expert behind Tang Zheng. If he could find this expert, perhaps he would be able to accurately assess Tang Zheng's strength and not be caught off guard.
"Expert? Haha, I want to see how strong you are. All kinds of experts from the ancient era have been revived one by one. Perhaps the expert beside him is one of them. If I catch him, then I will definitely have a good chat with him. Let me see what kind of person he is, to actually dare to ruin my good fortune. "
