Even so, the Great Ancestor's confidence did not diminish. He stared at Xiao Bai and said, "Now that His Majesty has returned, no matter how powerful that traitor's descendant is, he won't be His Majesty's match. It's time for us to counterattack! "
Tang Zheng was not as optimistic as him and said worriedly, "Even so, we must investigate the enemy's situation before we dare to take action. Before that, it's best not to act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy."
The Great Ancestor obviously did not think so and retorted, "What are you saying? His Majesty has returned, and no one can be his match. Why should we be afraid? This is not the Imperial Family's style. "
Eh?
Tang Zheng bitterly smiled and said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. If we act rashly and something goes wrong, won't it hurt those close to us and delight the enemy?"
The Great Ancestor's face sank and said, "Are you doubting His Majesty's ability?"
"Of course not." Tang Zheng said helplessly.
"Great Ancestor, don't make things difficult for Master. I think what he said is reasonable." Xiao Bai noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and quickly spoke up for Tang Zheng.
"Master? How can you call him Master? His Majesty is a member of the Imperial Family. The Imperial Family will not respect anyone as their master. Only others will bow down to the Imperial Family. "The Great Ancestor said emotionally. He looked at Tang Zheng with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
Tang Zheng was not surprised and had already expected this scene. After all, Chi Yue was also like this. He said with familiarity, "Great Ancestor, my relationship with Xiao Bai is not something that can be explained in a few words. It's also not something that you can deny with a few words …"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ancestor had already impatiently raised his head high, looking down at Tang Zheng like a tiger eyeing its prey, his pair of small eyes brimming with killing intent.
"His Majesty is a member of the Imperial Family. The dignity of the Imperial Family cannot be challenged. If you dare to talk nonsense or think nonsense, then don't blame me for being impolite." The Great Ancestor said sternly. His posture was not fake at all, as if he would attack at any time.
Tang Zheng smiled bitterly and had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Xiao Bai couldn't bear to watch any longer. He solemnly looked at the ancestor and said, "Ancestor, although you are an old official of the imperial family, there is something I must say first. He is my master. I will not allow anyone to provoke him or disrespect him. His words are my words. If you respect me as Your Majesty, then you must also respect my master. "
Xiao Bai's eyes were firm and unquestionable. Even when he met the Ancestor's eyes, he did not retreat.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, their eyes reflecting each other's figures. The ancestor knew the royal family very well. Once the royal family made a decision, even ten horses could not pull them back.
Moreover, the two sides had just met, so there was naturally a difference in their relationship. The Elder Ancestor believed that in time, His Majesty would believe his words.
Being close to virtuous ministers and distancing themselves from petty people was what the royal family should do.
He fiercely glared at Tang Zheng, as if to say, "Kid, just you wait. One day, His Majesty will understand my painstaking efforts. At that time, your good days will come to an end."
Tang Zheng of course understood the Elder Ancestor's eyes, but he didn't care. After all, the Elder Ancestor was also thinking for Xiao Bai. The two were different paths to the same goal. Once he understood this point, then all the problems would be solved.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Elder Ancestor lowered his head to Xiao Bai and resentfully replied.
Xiao Bai nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it."
But the Fog and the others looked at Tang Zheng with a rather playful gaze. In fact, there was not a trace of kindness in their eyes.
The tense situation was resolved, and both sides became amiable. They were invited to a relatively luxurious large house.
This house built on the mountain was far more spacious and bright than it looked from the outside. Xiao Bai was warmly invited to this house.
Xiao Bai and Wild Dog enjoyed the same treatment and entered the house with Xiao Bai.
Wild Dog felt that he had lived his life in vain. He had never encountered something so exciting and full of ups and downs.
This time was different. At this moment, he was completely immersed in it and relaxed to the extreme. Because he knew that if he followed Xiao Bai, then there was no need to worry about his safety.
The others surrounded the house from afar. Only the Fog and Dark Night followed the Elder Ancestor into the house. What surprised Tang Zheng the most was that after the Elder Ancestor entered the house, he only shrunk his body slightly and didn't transform into a human form.
In fact, if he transformed into a human, it would be more convenient for him to move, and it wouldn't take up so much space.
Xiao Bai and Tang Zheng were almost telepathically connected. They had the same idea. He asked curiously, "Elder Ancestor, why don't you transform into a human? It would be more convenient for you to move."
Alas!
A long sigh sounded from the Elder Ancestor's mouth.
The Fog and Dark Night's eyes dimmed at the same time.
Tang Zheng and Xiao Bai noticed each other's abnormality. They couldn't help but feel their hearts hanging in the air. They pricked up their ears to listen to the Elder Ancestor's answer.
"It's not that I don't want to transform into a human, but that I can't." The Elder Ancestor revealed the mystery in one sentence.
"You can't? How can that be? "
With the Elder Ancestor's strength and cultivation, it wasn't difficult for him to transform into a human. After all, his strength was much stronger than the Fog and Dark Night.
"Your Majesty, this is the problem we are facing now. Not only me, but other than the Fog and Dark Night, the others can't transform into a human."
Hiss!
Tang Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air, his gaze landing on the fog and Black Night. Just what was going on? Why was their situation so bad? Just what was going on?
Without Xiao Bai asking, the Elder Ancestor had already explained.
The opposition's fighting strength was deteriorating. This was a subtle change.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the fog and Dark Night were much less affected, so they could still transform into humans.
Tang Zheng thought hard, then a thought flashed through his mind. He pointed at his feet and said, "Could it be a problem with this piece of land? After all, isn't this place called Suicide Valley? This name isn't for nothing, right? There must be a reason. "
After the battle and careful observation, Tang Zheng could already conclude that just these people alone were not enough to make the outside world so fearful of this place. They even gave it the title of Suicide Valley.
That could only mean that this land originally contained some kind of great danger, which was why it made people tremble in fear.
The Elder Ancestor looked at Tang Zheng in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to tell the truth with a single sentence, as if he understood the Suicide Valley very well.
The Old Ancestor nodded seriously and said, "You guessed right, it is indeed the influence of the Suicide Valley. The Suicide Valley is restricting our abilities bit by bit, causing us to degenerate. If this goes on for a long time, we will die even before the enemy attacks us."
"But you are still weak and can't fight against the traitors. Therefore, you have no choice but to borrow the power of the Suicide Valley and hide here for the time being." Tang Zheng said bluntly.
Hearing this, the Ancestor and the others lowered their heads at the same time, unable to hide their shame.
Tang Zheng's head trembled, his words were too abrupt, he immediately changed his words and asked the Ancestor, "Ancestor, what exactly is the danger of this Suicide Valley? When we came in just now, what we encountered didn't seem to be too dangerous. "
The previous danger was almost all caused by the fog. They really didn't have much experience with the dangers of the Suicide Valley itself.
