"You'll fight King of Shadows with us?"
Lou Cheng's eyes lit up, his face regaining its color.
Meng Zhongxiao's lips curled into a smile as he nodded.
Lou Cheng finally smiled and said, "With you around, we have a chance of victory."
Meng Zhongxiao shook his head, his voice as emotionless as ever. "No, we have no chance of winning."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Meng Zhongxiao's strength was clear for all to see. His words were very persuasive.
If even he said there was no chance of winning, then how powerful was King of Shadows?
Lou Cheng was speechless for a long time. After a while, he sighed. "Then what should we do?"
Meng Zhongxiao laughed and looked at Lou Cheng. "Use our lives, risk his injuries, and let these juniors deal with him."
Hearing this, Lou Cheng, Lan Yuqin, and even Lu Qingfeng's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Meng Zhongxiao in disbelief. For a moment, everyone was speechless and could only stare blankly at Meng Zhongxiao.
After a long time, Lou Cheng finally regained his composure. He took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Meng, are you really willing to die?"
Meng Zhongxiao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I didn't plan on living on this trip. Now it's up to you guys to make up your minds. "
Lou Cheng and the other two Ancestors looked away and fell into deep thought.
Without a doubt, the three of them were unwilling to die.
After all, to live to this age and reach this height, death was undoubtedly a great deterrent to them.
The scene fell into a deathly silence. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu looked at their Ancestors, wanting to say something but hesitating. Especially Luo Wuji. He had just witnessed Meng Zhongxiao's powerful methods.
If he dared to go against Meng Zhongxiao at this time, it would not be as simple as falling.
This time, the silence lasted for a very long time. It was so long that time seemed to have stopped. Everyone was under great pressure.
Only Meng Zhongxiao, dressed in plain clothes, had an indifferent expression, like an ignorant and fearless farmer. He did not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Finally, Lou Cheng spoke. He looked at Meng Zhong Xiao and asked word by word, "Brother Meng, are you confident that after we die, these juniors can deal with King of Shadows?"
The corners of Meng Zhongxiao's mouth curled up slightly as he glanced at Luo Wuji and the others. His eyes then fixed on Qin Yi as he leisurely said, "I don't know about the others, but I have confidence in him!"
Following Meng Zhongxiao's gaze, pairs of sharp gazes instantly landed on Qin Yi.
In the face of these gazes, Qin Yi's expression did not change. He calmly stood where he was like an outsider.
Meng Zhongxiao looked at Qin Yi, his face full of admiration and affirmation.
After a short moment, Lou Cheng and the others withdrew their gazes and said, "Fine, we old fellows have to give up our positions in the end. We can lose our lives, but we can't lose our ancestral foundation! "
Then, he looked at Luo Wuji and said, "If we win this battle, Yin-Yang Academy's position as one of the Five Cauldrons Sect will be restored. From today onwards, we will be on good terms with them and will not easily suppress them."
Although Lou Cheng looked easygoing, he was actually very scheming. At his age, how many people did not have a brain?
Obviously, from Meng Zhongxiao's attitude towards Qin Yi, he could tell that the youth in front of him was indeed not ordinary. And through the observation just now, he confirmed his guess.
Without a doubt, this youth was not an ordinary person. His talent and intelligence were both top tier. His rise was already a foregone conclusion, continuing to obstruct him would not do him any good.
At this time, if he did not do Meng Zhongxiao a favor and warn Luo Wuji, when this youth grew up, he would probably attack Luo Wuji and the Luo Fu Sect.
Luo Wuji looked at his ancestor, his expression changing for a while. In the end, he could only nod and agree to the ancestor's request.
Seeing that Lou Cheng had already expressed his stance, Meng Zhongxiao looked at Lan Yuqin and Lu Qingfeng and asked in a calm voice, "What about the two of you?"
Lan Yuqin did not hesitate and directly said, "Give me some time. I need to properly explain what needs to be said."
Meng Zhongxiao nodded and said, "Everyone has something they can't rest assured about. This is very normal. Moreover, I'm not asking you to come with me to find Shadow King right now. We'll just gather when the enemy appears. "
Lan Yuqin's eyes finally revealed a trace of relief when she heard this.
"Ancestor …"
Palace Master Mu's beautiful eyes stared at Lan Yuqin with sorrow, her voice somewhat choked up. It was obvious that the two had a good relationship. Now that the other had chosen this path, how could she not be sad?
Of course, she was not the only one who was sad. Even the burly Luo Wuji had a sorrowful expression on his face. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, it was still revealed in the end.
In the end, the only one who had not expressed his stance was Lu Qingfeng.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lu Qingfeng appeared very calm. "What? Are you trying to force this old man to express his stance?"
Meng Zhongxiao laughed heartily and said, "This Meng has always been open and aboveboard. I don't do things that force others."
Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly and tilted his head to the side. "Your forces all have a leader, so of course you can rest assured. But this old man is different. My son Lu Fengyao is already dead, and the Abyss Sacred Valley is without a leader. If this old man does not stay behind to preside over the situation, wouldn't it be the same as letting the few of you swallow it up? "
Lou Cheng glanced at Lu Qingfeng disdainfully and then said mockingly, "If I'm not wrong, you should be injured right now. Based on your originally limited lifespan, even if you want to stay alive, I'm afraid you won't be able to last more than a few years, right? "
Lu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything.
Lan Yuqin's pitch-black eyes stared at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Everyone's standpoint is different. Everything we plan is naturally for our own benefit. If the few of us are not here, we can continue to maintain the balance. But since you want to live, then you want to break this balance. I think, before you die, it shouldn't be too much to clear away some obstacles for your own forces, right? "
Suddenly, her gaze became cold, like a treasured sword stabbing at Lu Qingfeng, causing him to frown slightly.
"Humph!" Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly and said rather unyieldingly, "To put it bluntly, isn't it just force? This old man wants to see if your plan can still proceed smoothly without me. "
"Haha!"
