Over the past few days, Zhang Yan and Luo Xiao had been stalling for time not because they wanted to exhaust Du Bo's strength. Luo Xiao had used the Shell King True Dew in the cave and the Major Elemental Elixir she got from Du You to heal herself. Now, she had recovered forty to fifty percent of her strength.
However, Luo Xiao was also nervous when she was about to face Du Bo. She did not dare to be careless. She thought that once they fought, she would have to use all her treasures to kill Du Bo. Otherwise, if Du Bo reacted, he might have other tricks up his sleeves.
Her gaze wandered, but when she saw Zhang Yan's calm expression, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. She said, "Du Youyan said that Du Bo still has a talisman in his hands. Fellow Daoist Zhang's wisdom is outstanding, why don't you think of another way to make Du Bo hand over the talisman with both hands?"
Originally, she just wanted to use words to provoke Zhang Yan, but she didn't expect Zhang Yan to nod and seriously say, "I've been thinking about this matter for the past two days. I have a method, and I can tell it to Fellow Daoist.
Luo Xiao opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say. Could it be that this person really had a way to deal with it?
She walked closer doubtfully and listened to Zhang Yan's whisper. After a while, her beautiful eyes gradually lit up. Although she had not used the plan yet, she already felt that it would work.
Zhang Yan suddenly felt that Du Bo's aura outside was unstable, and he turned around to look and couldn't help but smile. "Fellow Daoist Luo, we have to stabilize Du Bo first. I think he won't be able to hold back any longer."
Luo Xiao nodded and said loudly, "Du Bo, Du You is now under our control. If you let go of the shell king now, we can leave and Du You will die. Have you thought about it carefully?"
Du Bo was shocked. At this moment, he really did have such a plan.
He heard that Du You's mind was clear when he spoke. It did not seem like there was a problem when refining the bead. Instead, it seemed like he was being coerced by someone. However, he could not figure it out.
Moreover, his physical strength had been exhausted and he was gradually unable to suppress the shell king. Just as he was about to give up and get up to investigate, he didn't dare to act rashly after hearing these words. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Du Bo, why do you ask when you already know the answer? This time, the Sect Leader allowed you all to use the True Dew to open your meridians, which is already a great favor, but you all secretly swallowed the Profound Bead. How will your Du Clan give the Sect Leader an explanation for this matter?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like seeing a glimmer of light in the fog, and Du Bo immediately understood a little.
Someone from the Sect Leader's faction was making things difficult for the Du family!
The internal strife between the sects was not something that happened only once or twice. The disciples of the master and disciple lineage had always been hostile to the disciples of the aristocratic families. They were even more resentful of the fact that they could enjoy the benefits of the various sects without fighting. It was very likely that they would do something like secretly attacking the disciples.
Especially this time, the Du family made a big fuss about the death of a few true disciples and accused Ning Chongxuan of deliberately not helping them. They even united a few families to put pressure on the Sect Leader. In order to appease the aristocratic families, the Sect Leader reluctantly agreed to let Du You use the Shell King True Dew from the Lustrous Cloud Shell Field to open his meridians.
It could be imagined that this matter would definitely cause the Sect Leader's faction to be dissatisfied.
Especially now that they were in the Lustrous Cloud Shell Field, he really couldn't think of anyone other than the Sect Leader's faction who could enter this place.
And the most important thing was that the other party was a female cultivator!
Everyone knew that the Sect Leader had always favored using female cultivators. Not only could he use the method of marriage to rope in various talented disciples, but he also didn't have so many scruples when doing things, so he believed 80% of the other party's identity.
He pondered for a while and felt that no matter what, this matter couldn't be used as an excuse by the Sect Leader to suppress the Du family. It seemed that he could only take responsibility for this matter.
He sighed secretly and said, "Sir, please understand, this matter is all Du Bo's idea. Du You is young and ignorant, so he misunderstood my nonsense. This has nothing to do with the Du family, and Du Bo isn't a member of the Du family, it's just that …"
Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the other party. "Humph, do you think it's important to me whether you're a member of the Du family or not? What a joke! "
Du Bo frowned. It seemed that the other party didn't want to let it go? He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and his voice turned cold. "If that's the case, what's the point of saying so much? Do you think that I'm so easy to bully? Why don't you come out and meet me, and I will use our own means to determine the winner! "
Hearing that Du Bo's voice seemed to be about to explode, the voice on the other side chuckled and said, "Du Bo, to tell you the truth, at this moment in the Lustrous Cloud Shell Field, there is more than one person whose cultivation is higher than yours, and Du You is in our hands. I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts. If you make a move, we will immediately kill you here, and then capture Du You back to the sect. This is exactly what the Senior Brothers want!"
Hearing that, Du Bo was instantly shocked and fearful. It was possible that there were other Ying Cang Sect disciples outside the shell field to receive them, otherwise the other party wouldn't be able to come in.
Just as the other party said, if the matter of embezzling the Xuan bead was exposed, if he still dared to make a move, it would give the other party a reason to kill him. In addition, in the end, he still wasn't able to protect Du You. He was afraid that his clan would be implicated by the Du family's anger, and his death would be in vain.
Thinking clearly about the consequences, he immediately dispelled his original idea of fighting with his life, and his tone softened as he said, "What exactly do you want?"
The other party's voice sounded unhurriedly. "How you take it depends on Mister Du's will."
Du Bo couldn't help but be puzzled. If the other party wanted to harm him, he would have already made a move. Why was he still not making a move? Was it because the other party's cultivation wasn't as good as his, and he didn't have the confidence? That didn't make sense. At most, he could just leave and take Du You away, which could also make the Du family lower their head.
Will …
His thoughts turned, and he thought hard. Then, combined with this sentence that had a profound meaning, he finally came to a realization.
So this was the other party's purpose!
If that was the case, everything could be explained.
Thinking of this, he thought that he had already understood the other party's intentions, so he didn't panic. He said, "Can you discuss it with me?"
"Speak."
Du Bo probed, "You and I are both seeking to become immortals. We come from the same source, so why do we have to fight to the death? Moreover, since the Xuan bead has already been swallowed by my nephew, I will give you some benefits. How about you let us go? "
The other party was silent, and after a while, he said, "What benefits?"
Hearing this, Du Bo was delighted, and his heart was even more certain. He said, "I have used up all the pills here, but I still have a lot of Xuan beads. If you let us go, I am willing to give all I have to you. What do you think?"
The other party sneered, "Du Bo, you are looking down on us too much. How much is a mere Xuan beads worth?"
Du Bo's expression didn't change. As long as you are willing to bargain, it won't be a problem.
"I am willing to make a vow that if you let us go, I will definitely repay you generously."
"Although the vow is good, I am not prepared to meet Mister Du again in the future. In my opinion, I can only be at ease with what I have in my hands and what I have eaten. As for those things that are too far away, don't mention them."
Zhang Yan looked at Luo Xiao with a smile that wasn't a smile. He didn't expect that she would use the exact words that he had forced her to say, which was quite aggressive.
As if thinking of the tragic situation that day, Luo Xiao also fiercely stared back at him.
Du Bo said again, "Then what do you mean?"
Luo Xiao said unhurriedly, "I heard that you have a 'Heart Piercing Arrow' and a 'Mystic Bird Shield'. These two magic weapons, one for offense and one for defense, complement each other. If you take them out, I can let you and the Du family go."
Du Bo became silent, obviously seriously considering the other party's suggestion.
Zhang Yan and Luo Xiao weren't in a hurry. In any case, the more they dragged, the better it would be to wear down Du Bo's vitality.
They weren't the slightest bit worried that someone from above would come down to check. It should be known that opening meridians with the help of the True Dew and the Jade Elixir Pond took a similar amount of time. At least for the first half a month, no one would come to disturb them.
After waiting for a long time, Du Bo slowly opened his mouth and said, "This time, I only brought the 'Mystic Bird Shield'. The 'Heart Piercing Arrow' had its spirituality damaged when fighting with a great enemy last month, and it hasn't been refined yet."
Luo Xiao immediately said, "I didn't come here alone. One 'Mystic Bird Shield', I'm afraid it won't be enough."
These words were very clear. It wasn't that she came here alone, one magic weapon wasn't enough.
Du Bo was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Fine, I have a Purple Hidden Feather Robe here. It's woven from Yuqing silk, it can block ordinary magic weapons and flying swords. I was going to give it to my nephew as a congratulatory gift after opening his meridians, how about it?"
Luo Xiao was about to open her mouth, but Zhang Yan whispered something at the side.
Luo Xiao was startled, he looked at Zhang Yan with a strange expression, coughed and said, "This method is good, but what can I do when I have a companion who doesn't need a magic weapon? It's just that I can't stand your Du family's face. Originally, I only wanted to make Du You open his meridians, but I didn't expect this kid to gain such great benefits instead. He was even more furious in his heart and only wanted to vent his anger. He originally wanted to break Du You's four limbs, but seeing that he's only a youth, he couldn't help but lose his status.
He didn't expect Du Bo to actually respond so readily this time, saying, "Why wait for this matter? I can promise you right now! "
With two "pa pa" sounds, he raised his palm and broke his own legs, then asked, "Is that person satisfied?"
This wasn't because his mind wasn't clear and he liked to harm himself, it was because this matter was really nothing to him. As a Mystic Light cultivator, he only needed to use mystic light to control his body and fly. Although there wasn't much mystic light left on his body, if he could sit down and rest for a while, he would be able to reattach his broken legs in less than an hour.
However, he didn't expect that he would regret it not long after.
"Alright, Mister Du is a trustworthy person. Wipe off the essence blood on the shield and send it over."
"Wait, how can I trust you?"
"Mister Du, I can swear a poison oath to the Emperor Heaven and Earth that if anyone leaks even a little bit of this matter, they will be struck by lightning and burned by the flames of the earth. What do you think?"
When Du Bo heard this, he felt that the other party was very sincere. Once a cultivator made an oath, it would immediately reveal the cause and effect. There was no room for falsehood, so he immediately agreed.
Luo Xiao pointed to the sky and swore very straightforwardly. She wouldn't have leaked this matter in the first place.
After the other party made the oath, Du Bo immediately relaxed and took out his magic treasure. He clenched his teeth and wiped off the essence blood on it. He couldn't help but feel his heart ache. He then took out the feather robe and used mystic light to wrap around it. He threw the shield and the feather robe outside the cave.
He had also secretly planned to see who this person was, so he had thrown them a little closer to the entrance of the cave. Who would have thought that before they landed on the ground, a streak of black profound light would flash past, catching the Mystic Bird Shield and the feathered robe.
He couldn't help but shiver. The other party really was a Mystic Light cultivator!
Then, he felt at ease again. It seemed that the other party really didn't have the intention to be ruthless and just wanted to get some benefits. Otherwise, with the other party's cultivation, they could have killed their way in and killed him long ago.
Even now, he didn't realize that he was falling into someone else's trap step by step.
With the two treasures in their hands, Zhang Yan and Luo Xiao looked at each other and calmed down.
Now that the magic treasure was gone, Du Bo was like a tiger without its teeth. His threat was reduced by more than half.
The key to this plan was to use his power to pressure others and make Du Bo mistakenly think that they were on the side of the sect master. He couldn't fight them head-on, so he could only seek a compromise.
In Zhang Yan's original plan, if Du Bo insisted on refusing, then he could only use the magic treasure in his hand to fight. If that didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to escape with the Luo Xiao Mystic Light.
Of course, this was only the worst case scenario.
From Du Bo's performance on Azure Wu Mountain that day, Zhang Yan felt that this Du Bo wasn't a hot-blooded person who would do anything without a care. This person's personality was more conservative, so he was somewhat confident in this plan.
He first got rid of Du Bo's followers, then swindled the other party's magic treasure and made him break his own legs. Now that the other party's shell was gone, and he had lost his claws and teeth, it was the best time to extract his marrow!
Zhang Yan stood up and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Luo, if you don't make a move now, when?"
