Wutian's attention was completely focused on the map and he did not notice Yang Zongyu's abnormality at all.
He stared at the beast skin book, his eyes shining brightly. He nodded and said, "Senior, please ask. This junior will tell you everything he knows."
Yang Zongyu said, "Did you and Qin Ming have an agreement that as long as the Alliance gave you the Light Essence, you would betray the Celestial Court and join the Alliance?"
Wutian was shocked.
It was only at this moment that he looked at Yang Zongyu. Seeing the latter's worried expression, his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Senior, how did you know about this?"
"Answer me first," Yang Zongyu said.
"Indeed." Wutian nodded.
"Sigh, you have caused a great disaster this time." Yang Zongyu sighed.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Wutian did not understand and a deep sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart.
Yang Zongyu explained, "Now, the Alliance's Demon Venerable has agreed to your conditions and agreed to give you the Light Essence. Qin Ming is currently in the Lv Lan Temple, negotiating with Lv Lan about this matter."
"Indeed, something big has happened, and it is related to me."
Wutian cursed silently.
What surprised him the most was that the Alliance's Demon Venerable had actually agreed.
Yang Zongyu said, "Brat, what do you plan to do now?"
"Yes, what should I do now?"
Wutian felt a headache. The Demon Venerable had agreed to give him the Light Essence. This was something to be happy about, but this surprise came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Yang Zongyu and asked, "Senior, do you have any good suggestions?"
Yang Zongyu sighed deeply and said, "Whether you are in the Alliance or the Celestial Court, it does not matter to me. But now, I have to consider that if you break the agreement, the Alliance will definitely not let you off. If you keep the agreement and betray the Celestial Court, the Celestial Court will definitely not let you off."
Wutian frowned and said, "In other words, no matter what I choose, I will fall into eternal damnation."
"That's right."
Yang Zongyu nodded and said, "Actually, you shouldn't have gone to look for Qin Ming. After you left, Lu Lan was already thinking of a way. And Ni Yeye, who has a grudge with you, went to Tengoku this time to negotiate with his father and the Demon Lord to see if he can obtain the Essence of Light."
"So there is such a thing."
Wutian suddenly realized that Ni Yeye had gone to Tengoku for the Light Essence.
"If Heavenly Goddess Lu Lan had been willing to tell me, would I have gone to find Qin Ming?" Wutian massaged his throbbing temples. This was the first time he had encountered something so troublesome.
Yang Zongyu shook his head and said, "Now that things have come to this, there's no use regretting it. We have to think of a way to salvage the situation."
Wutian sat down on the chair and rubbed his forehead, deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, he thought of a path.
If he continued to stay in the Celestial Court, the Alliance would already know that he needed the Essence of Light and would not give it to Ni Yeye. Then, he could only let Di Tian and the others obtain second place in the Holy War.
As for first place, he was determined to obtain it.
However, he was also worried that the Demon Lord would replace the Essence of Light and use other treasures as the reward for second place.
If such a thing really happened, wouldn't everything he had done be for naught?
But joining the Alliance was completely different. He could obtain the Essence of Light and continue to participate in the Holy War.
As for the Blood Oath Tribulation, he did not care about it. What he cared about was the pursuit of the Celestial Court and Huangfu Mingzhu.
The pursuit of the Celestial Court was no joke. If he was not careful, he might end up with his body and soul destroyed. Even Ye Tian and the others would be implicated.
And Huangfu Mingzhu was Lu Lan's daughter. If he betrayed the Celestial Court, he would at least disappoint her and hurt her feelings.
There was also You Hanyun. If there were no accidents, she must be in the Celestial Court in Tengoku.
His identity was not exposed, so it did not matter. But once his identity was exposed and the Celestial Court knew that You Hanyun was related to him, the Celestial Court might use her as a bargaining chip to make him hesitate.
"How troublesome!"
Wutian shook his head and temporarily stopped thinking about these troublesome problems. He asked, "Senior, I have a question. Why are you so concerned about me?"
"At this point, you still have the mood to ask this? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "Yang Zongyu cursed in his heart and asked," Why do you think I am concerned about you? "
Wutian shook his head. "Senior, please don't play hide-and-seek with me."
Yang Zongyu said, "Who has the time to play hide-and-seek with you? If you can't tell me, then don't let your imagination run wild. Think carefully about how to get through this difficult time."
"It seems that senior is still unwilling to tell me the truth. Very well, I will talk about my first question. My first question is about the rules you set when you auctioned off the Essence of Darkness.
Everyone knows that the Essence of Darkness is unique and its value is immeasurable. And your Tianbaoge Hall is a businessman, so there is no reason for you to not earn the Essence of Darkness. Not to mention that you cherish talent, and not to mention that you value personal ability, even a ghost would not believe these words.
So, the rules you set are very unreasonable.
My second question is about the ten-star VIP badge.
I believe that in the entire Northern Region, only Heavenly God Lu Lan and a few other big shots have a ten-star VIP badge. And I am just a Tribulation Transformation Ninth Decay, a small character comparable to an ant in your eyes, so what right do I have to have one?
I remember that I asked you before, and you said that you valued my Heavenly Vein and considered it an investment. But you neglected one point. You are the Pavilion Master of the Imperial City General Pavilion. Such naive words should not have come out of your mouth.
Because your proficiency in the ways of business is probably the best in the entire Northern Region. You should understand that investments are very risky.
As for businessmen, they would usually wait until the risk was reduced to the minimum before investing. For example, I wouldn't wait until I became a God, but I would at least wait until I was a little stronger, not now, because with my current strength, I could die at any moment. There was no value in investing in me at all.
So, your statement is unreasonable.
My third question is about the Essence of Light.
I am not afraid to offend you, but you and I are not related. What does it have to do with you whether I stay in the Celestial Court or join the Alliance?
However, you didn't just stand by and watch. Not only did you run over to the Lv Lan Temple to interfere, you even came back with a worried look on your face. You even took the initiative to come up with a plan for me. May I ask why is that?
So, your actions are unreasonable. "
Wutian spoke frankly with assurance. After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zongyu and smiled. "Senior, do you think the three unreasonable things I said are reasonable now?"
"I didn't expect this little rascal to be so meticulous. I thought I had done it flawlessly, but he still saw through it. What kind of freak is this guy?"
Yang Zongyu cursed inwardly. His heart was filled with disbelief, but no abnormality could be seen on his face. He was incomparably deep.
He smiled and said faintly, "These unreasonable things are just your personal guesses. There's no basis or truth to them. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about how you're going to get through this crisis first!"
"You still want to quibble?"
Wutian was stunned.
He thought that if he pointed out these loopholes, Yang Zongyu would tell him the truth. Who would have thought that Yang Zongyu had no intention of telling him the truth.
"Since you don't want to tell me, then I will slowly investigate it myself. I don't believe that I can't find out your purpose."
Wutian muttered in his heart.
From the current situation, Yang Zongyu had been helping him. But these giants were all old and cunning people. Who knew what he was thinking?
So, he had no choice.
Pretending to think, Wutian smiled. "My method is in my heart. When the time comes, senior will know."
"Pretending to be mysterious." Yang Zongyu rolled his eyes.
Wutian smiled faintly. He grabbed the beast skin book in his hand and looked at it. "Senior, I will accept the map. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Wait."
Yang Zongyu stopped him and said, "Remember to return the map to me after you use it. Also, although I don't know why you came out, in three days, Lu Lan and Qin Ming will go to the God Land to find you. You'd better go back to the God Land first, lest they find out that you are not here and cause more trouble."
"Go to the God Land to find me?"
Wutian raised his eyebrows. These two antiques really couldn't wait for a moment!
He couldn't help but feel lucky that Xu Yi asked him to find Yang Zongyu. Otherwise, he would have missed such an important piece of news.
"Senior, you are still concerned about me. Isn't there something fishy about this?"
His eyebrows stretched, Wutian jokingly said a sentence, then got up and strode away, leaving Yang Zongyu alone in a daze with a look of astonishment.
"Creak!"
He didn't come back to his senses until the door closed automatically. A wry smile immediately appeared on his face.
"It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future. Otherwise, he will find out the truth sooner or later."
…
Walking out of Tianbaoge Hall, Wutian directly entered the Star Realm. He sat cross-legged on the top of the sacred tree and began to read the animal skin book.
The animal skin book was one inch thick and taller than chopsticks. Moreover, each page was as thin as a cicada's wing. One could imagine how much content was recorded in it.
Most importantly, Wutian had to read it carefully bit by bit. He couldn't miss any place. As a result, it took him a whole day and night to finish reading the animal skin book.
"Phew!"
Closing the animal skin book, Wutian stood up. He looked rather haggard.
Little Wu Hao, who was planting Spiritual Extracts in the medicine field, saw this and appeared in front of him in a flash. She asked, "How is it? Did you find the Hidden Dragon Mountain?"
"No."
Wutian shook his head. His haggard face was full of disappointment and deep helplessness.
"Alas, we worked so hard for so long, but in the end, we got nothing. It's really God's will!" Little Wu Hao sighed.
"It's useless to sigh. The main problem now is to find out which region the Hidden Dragon Mountain is in. At least there must be some clues that can be followed. Otherwise, we will be working in vain like now," Wutian said.
