"The second way," Song Qingshu paused and turned his eyes to the joint of the stone door and the wall, "The people who plotted against us this time are definitely not from the Divine Dragon Sect."
"Why?" Su Quan subconsciously thought that Hong Antong was plotting against Song Qingshu and Ouyang Feng. After all, the Spirit Snake Cave and the five-colored dragon were too unique to the Divine Dragon Island. But she had clearly hinted to him that Song Qingshu's soul had been captured by her. Could it be that he saw through the flaw and became angry out of humiliation? Su Quan was still hesitant, but hearing Song Qingshu's words, she quickly raised her head and asked.
"If it was someone from the Divine Dragon Island, they would definitely not spend so much effort to use this stone door to trap us, because this stone door has a fatal weakness."
Ouyang Feng was a quick-witted person. Following Song Qingshu's gaze, he quickly came to a realization, "You mean the door axle?"
Looking at the joint of the stone door and the wall, Ouyang Feng finally saw the essential difference between this stone door and the Broken Dragon Stone in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
Once the Broken Dragon Stone was put down, it could no longer be opened, so it was purely blocked with a stone door that weighed over ten thousand Jin. Although the stone door in front of them also weighed over ten thousand Jin, for the convenience of opening and closing, it was not a structure that fell from above like the Broken Dragon Stone. Instead, it was a structure that could be opened and closed freely like an ordinary door.
An ordinary door needed a door axle, and this stone door was no exception. Its door axle was embedded in the wall next to it, and the wall was not a solid mountain stone. The stone door was locked from the outside, and these door axles became the breakthrough point.
"Mr. Ouyang, if you and I work together and use ten percent of our power to attack this stone door at the same time, although the stone door can remain undamaged, the door axle can't stand repeated damage." Song Qingshu thought that with the power of one person attacking this stone door, he might not be able to break the door axle.
"This is the reason why you came back to save me?" Ouyang Feng's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Mr. Ouyang won't think that my motive for saving you is impure, right?" Song Qingshu laughed a few times awkwardly.
"I'm just laughing at your stupidity. Why go through so much trouble?" Ouyang Feng sneered a few times. Without waiting for Song Qingshu's cooperation, he walked straight to the corner of the wall. Without looking at the huge hinges, he pressed his palm on the wall near the hinges. "Why don't you try again?"
Song Qingshu doubtfully struck the stone door with his palm, only to hear a 'ka ka' sound in his ears. The entire stone door had already begun to loosen. Song Qingshu was overjoyed. He circulated the Three-Layered Dragon Subduing Waves and combined the three palms of the Overbearing Dragon Shows Remorse into one palm. With a bang, the huge stone door slowly fell outwards.
When she saw the sunlight that she was used to, Su Quan, who had survived the disaster, felt extremely lucky. Very soon, Ouyang Feng's voice rang out again. "Can't you just use your inner force to shatter the wall near the axle? Why do you only want to use brute force?"
Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Just now, he couldn't think straight. In his mind, he was thinking about how much palm force to hit the stone door to loosen the hinges. His first reaction was to save Ouyang Feng and combine their strength. After that, he didn't think about how to save Ouyang Feng, but how to persuade the other party to cooperate sincerely. A moment of carelessness caused him to be despised by a perennial epileptic.
…
"Sect Leader will enjoy immortal happiness and longevity as long as heaven's. Reporting to Sect Leader, the people we sent out have returned. We can't find Madam and Song Qingshu anywhere. "A Divine Dragon Island disciple knelt in front of Hong Antong and said.
"What about Western Poison Ouyang Feng?" Hearing that both of them were missing, Hong Antong snorted coldly. His ruddy face flashed with a trace of green.
"There's no news either." Feeling that Hong Antong's tone was not good, the Divine Dragon Island disciple hurriedly replied, "The people you sent to serve Ouyang Feng were all killed last night. It's said that later, some disciples saw Ouyang Feng and Song Qingshu fighting fiercely in the forest. The other disciples didn't dare to approach them. Later, both of them disappeared."
"Could it be that both of them were injured and drowned in the sea?" A trace of doubt arose in Hong Antong's heart, but it was soon replaced by irritation. He waved his hand to signal the disciple to leave.
It was no wonder that Hong Antong was depressed. He had prepared Ouyang Feng, a big killer, so he had the confidence to control the overall situation. Later, Su Quan brought Song Qingshu, an expert who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Western Poison. According to her hint, Song Qingshu had already been used by her. Hong Antong thought that with these two experts on his side, it wouldn't be difficult for them to get through this great calamity.
However, he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Hong Antong would become a loner again. Thinking of the envoys sent by various forces, each with an unfathomable intention, Hong Antong had an ominous premonition.
"Sect Leader, the guests are already waiting in the hall."
Hearing the voice of the disciple outside the room, Hong Antong woke up with a start. His eyes regained the fierceness of the past, and he calmly walked to the hall.
…
"Sect Leader Hong, before this humble Daoist left, Prince Bao specifically told me that as long as you hand over Su Quan, the main culprit, we will immediately withdraw from Divine Dragon Island. Today is the deadline. Sect Leader, tell me if you want to hand over or not."
In the hall, True Jade Master's sorry figure from last night when he was chased by Ouyang Feng was swept away. He looked at Hong Antong with an aggressive gaze.
"What if I don't hand it over?" Hong Antong sinisterly said. It wasn't that he didn't have the thought of sacrificing Su Quan before, but for many years, he had been extremely fond of this beautiful wife, so it was difficult for him to make up his mind in such a short time. Not to mention that Su Quan also brought back a super thug.
"Then it's inevitable that the people of your island will be plunged into an abyss of suffering." True Jade Master chuckled, and his threatening tone was overflowing. "Sacrificing one person will save the people of the entire island. As the Sect Leader, your distinguished self shouldn't be unable to distinguish the severity of this matter. Or is it that some people are reluctant to part with their wife and selfishly … "
Hong Antong was an awe-inspiring figure in his sect, so when had anyone dared to speak to him in such a strange tone? Hearing what was said, Hong Antong immediately became furious. Just as he was about to flare up, Sangjie, who was on the side, came out to smooth things over. "Sect Leader Hong, today is the deadline given by Shengjing. This matter is related to the survival of Divine Dragon Cult, whether it's war or peace, has your Divine Dragon Island reached an agreement yet? On behalf of Prince Ali Buge, I will always support your sect's decision. "Finished speaking, he quietly gave Xu Xueting a meaningful glance.
Hong Antong's heart warmed. Although recently Sangjie's actions were somewhat suspicious, they were, after all, allies in the same camp. With Ali Buge's support, Shengjing would always have some misgivings.
Yelu Nanxian, who had been silent all this time, sneered incessantly in her heart. Last night, she had already discovered Sangjie's plot. Perhaps this time, Hong Antong was finished.
"Our Emperor and the Southern Courtyard's King quite appreciate Sect Leader Hong. King Xiao is currently fighting with Manchurian Qing's Wu Sangui outside of Shanhai Pass. If Sect Leader starts a war with Shengjing, our country hopes to form an alliance with your sect to jointly resist the Manchurian Qing."
Clearly seeing the powerful relationship between the various countries, Yelu Nanxian naturally didn't want Divine Dragon Island to be destroyed so easily. If Hong Li and Kangxi went to war, Mongolia would have one less counterbalance. Not to mention, she received a secret order from Official Su to protect Su Quan. If she allowed Hong Antong to hand over Su Quan, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control his life and death. At that time, she could only take a risk and see if she could save Su Quan and escape. Fortunately, with Song Qingshu's help, protecting Su Quan would be a lot easier.
Thinking of this, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but search for Song Qingshu's figure in the hall again. After she still couldn't find him, her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but show a trace of worry.
On the other side, Blood Knife Ancestor and Sangjie looked at each other. They were quite angry, but they couldn't do anything. After all, Liao was Mongolia's ally, and the Mongolia they represented supported Hong Antong on the surface. Hearing Yelu Nanxian's words, they couldn't help but regret that they didn't inform Liao's people beforehand.
Xu Xueting got Sangjie's hint, hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said: "Leader, subordinate has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Speak." Hong Antong's face was gloomy, and he snorted.
"In the past, Leader single-handedly founded the Divine Dragon Cult, and there were a total of one thousand and twenty-three old brothers who followed Leader. For many years, they went through water and tread on fire, but today, some lost their lives in the hands of the enemy, some were executed because they made some small mistakes. Counting, there are less than one hundred people left. Although Leader and Madam have recruited a large number of young followers, unfortunately, the Divine Dragon Cult is no longer as grand as it was in the past … "Xu Xueting slowly said each word, his tone was deep, and sometimes there was even a hint of sobbing. When some of the old people in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but sigh as they recalled the past.
Hong Antong's face became more and more unsightly. Seeing Xu Xueting getting more and more excited, he couldn't help but snort heavily: "Blue Dragon Envoy, we are now discussing the invasion of foreign enemies, why are you bringing up this irrelevant topic?"
"I'm talking about the invasion of foreign enemies." Xu Xueting's expression suddenly became a little agitated. "Leader, do you know when it started that old people like us were killed for no reason?"
Seeing that Hong Antong was silent, Xu Xueting said hatefully: "It started when Leader married that woman …"
"Shut up!" Hong Antong's hair and beard were standing on end. Xu Xueting could not help but feel a little scared when he glared at him. For a moment, he couldn't say the words that he had thought of.
"What Brother Xu said makes sense." Upon seeing this, Taoist Priest Wugen, who was at the side, quickly stepped forward and said, "Ever since that woman came to the island, Leader, you've changed. You can't remember us old brothers anymore. Madam likes to use young people, and she feels that us old people are an eyesore, so she made all kinds of strict sect rules. If we slightly violated it, she would take the opportunity to kill us. Leader, you've been watching silently. Us old brothers are really disappointed. "
"I've always been a meritorious person, and I don't care about age. As long as you have the ability and are loyal to me, I'll never treat you unfairly. Since the old people are loyal to me, I'll naturally still treat them as good brothers and will never discriminate against them. Red Dragon Envoy, you're thinking too much. "
If it weren't for the fact that they were facing a foreign enemy, with Hong Antong's temperament, these two people would have been killed long ago if they dared to contradict him like that. Even with Hong Antong's tyranny, he had no choice but to explain patiently.
"In that case, the reason why so many of our brothers were killed before was because they were not loyal to Leader?" Black Dragon Envoy Zhang Danyue smiled sadly. As soon as he said this, many of the old people in the hall revealed indignant expressions. The young disciples looked at each other and nervously held the hilt of their sabers.
"I didn't say that." Hong Antong was expressionless.
"Alright, the dead are gone, but there are thousands of disciples on the island now. We can't continue to send them to their deaths just because of Leader's words, right?" Xu Xueting, who had already recovered, said.
"What do you want?" Hong Antong said coldly.
When Song Qingshu and the other two left the Spirit Serpent Cave and arrived near the meeting hall, the various forces had already begun to plot against each other. The three of them did not plan to show their faces. They unanimously chose to hide outside the hall, and silently observed the situation inside.
Song Qingshu turned to look at the Leader's wife, who was as beautiful as a flower, and teased in a low voice, "Looks like your husband still cares about you."
