Lin Ray was speechless.
Lin Ray felt a headache coming on when the system made such a decision. The system always felt weird after it changed.
However, when he thought that the system wouldn't harm him, he felt relieved.
He was also very satisfied with Ouyang Zhen, so … he agreed with the system's suggestion.
He nodded and replied, "I can consider it, but who knows if he's just acting? His specific nature has yet to be verified."
"In my Xuanzong Sect, you can have no talent for cultivation, but you can't have an impure nature. That's a big taboo."
The system rolled its eyes and said, "Whatever. You're the host anyway. You have the final say!"
"F * ck, now you know I'm the host. Why didn't you say I was the host when you asked me to agree?"
The system didn't say anything. Lin Ray was helpless. The system was now like a seven or eight-year-old child.
Lin Ray came back to his senses and looked at Ouyang Zhen. He said, "I can give you a choice."
Then, he raised his hand and a suction force appeared. Below, a child in the arms of a woman in the Ouyang family was grabbed by Lin Ray.
"Wow."
A three or four-year-old boy left his mother and was in the air. How could he not be afraid?
Cries rang out and everyone was stunned. Outside the Ouyang family, Wang Zhi and the others sighed when they saw Lin Ray acting like this.
His ruthlessness towards Lin Ray had reached a new level. As the saying goes, one shouldn't implicate one's wife and children. He didn't even let a child go. One could imagine his character.
"You …"
Looking at the child in Lin Ray's hand, Ouyang Zhen's expression changed. He knew the child. Ouyang Zhen was the name he gave the child. It meant that he hoped the child would be honest for the rest of his life.
"Senior, he's still a child. Please let him go!" Ouyang Zhen pleaded.
"Sure!"
"Really?" Ouyang Zhen was stunned and asked for the truth.
"Of course!" Lin Ray nodded disapprovingly and said, "I'll give you the choice just now."
As he spoke, the Illusory Spirit Blood Fire appeared and wrapped around the child. Of course, the child's body was covered by a layer of Lin Ray's spiritual energy. Otherwise, the Illusory Spirit Blood Fire would have roasted him.
"If you want to live, you have to exchange this child for your life. If the child dies, you live."
"Second, if you die, the child can live."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Now, they understood Lin Ray's intention.
"What do you think? Make your own choice. Don't blame me for not telling you that cultivation is not easy. Treasure it!"
"I …"
Ouyang Zhen hesitated. Indeed, after cultivating for so many years, he really couldn't bear to lose everything in a single move. But when he thought of the child in the flames, he couldn't help but want to save him.
He was, after all, a descendant of the Ouyang Clan. Not only that, when he was born, the Ouyang Clan had already given him a divination to predict his fortune and inauspiciousness. This child was in charge of the Ouyang Clan's future, and he possessed peak-grade elemental and wood-elemental spiritual roots. If such a child were to grow up, he would surely be a great genius of the Ouyang Clan. It wouldn't be a dream for him to become the pillar of the Ouyang Clan.
He was struggling in his heart. He was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid that the Ouyang Clan's future would be ruined.
Thinking of this, the fear in Ouyang Zhen's heart instantly disappeared. Slowly, it was replaced by determination and determination.
Raising his head, his resolute gaze landed on Lin Ray's eyes. A smile flashed across his face. At this moment, he had obtained the answer he wanted.
"I agree."
"I agree. Kill me and let this child live!"
Plop.
As the head of the Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Zhen directly knelt on the ground. "Senior, I'm willing to exchange my life for this child's life. I beg you, please let him go!"
When this scene fell into the eyes of the Ouyang Clan, their hearts trembled. At this moment, they felt that the head of the Ouyang Clan in front of them was somewhat different from before.
Everyone was stunned. There were always people like Ouyang Zhen, Wang Zhi and the others who had the same cultivation base as Ouyang Zhen. Naturally, they heard Ouyang Zhen's choice. Regarding this, the three of them were stunned on the spot. Obviously, they didn't dare to believe that he would make such a decision.
"Heavens, is this still the Ouyang Zhen I know?!"
"Yeah, Ouyang Zhen is actually willing to give up his own cultivation base for the sake of the younger generation of the Ouyang Clan."
"Indeed, the Ouyang Zhen of the past wouldn't … wouldn't make such a choice, right?"
… … …
Looking at Ouyang Zhen, Lin Ray's face revealed a smile. He smiled and said, "Since I've agreed to it, I naturally keep my word."
Clang.
He threw a long sword in front of Ouyang Zhen and said, "Come, let me see your sincerity."
"As long as you do it, I agree to let this child go." At this moment, the child didn't say anything. He looked at Ouyang Zhen with a different gaze.
"Sigh!"
"Alright!"
He reached out and grabbed the long sword. Looking at Ouyang Zhen, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Little Zhen, close your eyes. In a moment, you can return to your mother's side."
Perhaps because of the child's innocence, Ouyang Zhen really closed his eyes.
"Good boy!"
Ouyang Zhen smiled slightly. He raised his hand and placed the long sword at his throat. He said, "I hope senior will keep his word."
After saying that, his shoulder moved his arm and his palm exerted force. He was about to cut his throat and commit suicide with the long sword.
Whoosh.
Bang.
Clang. The long sword fell to the ground. Ouyang Zhen opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Lin Ray. He didn't understand what was going on.
Was it mental torture?
Did he have to be so cruel? Couldn't he be more straightforward? If he wanted to kill him, then kill him. Could he not be so endless?
He roared, but his face didn't show any expression. He looked at Lin Ray in shock and said, "Senior, what is the meaning of this?"
Ouyang Zhen, who was supposed to die to atone for his sins, didn't die.
"I've changed my mind!"
Lin Ray said. His face didn't turn red and his heart didn't skip a beat. He continued, "I'll give you another choice."
"Ah?"
"Senior, what you said before wasn't a lie, right?!" Ouyang Zhen was anxious. He was afraid that Lin Ray would return.
Without a sound, a slap landed on the back of Ouyang Zhen's head. He said implicitly, "Do I look like such an unbearable person?!"
The system said, "Yes. Not only that, but you've played it to the extreme."
Lin Ray was speechless.
"Then senior means …" Ouyang Zhen couldn't guess and could only ask for guidance.
"Acknowledge me as your master. I'll give you benefits you can't imagine. The only condition is that you accept me as your master."
"Of course, you can refuse. However, it's a pity that I'll let you break through to the Fruit of Dao Realm in half a year."
"What? Half a year? "
Ouyang Zhen was shocked. According to his calculations, it would take at least a thousand years to reach the Fruit of Dao Realm. He didn't believe that it would only take half a year.
"It's up to you to believe it or not. However, I'll only give you this one chance. As long as you submit to me, they can live, and they will live very well."
"How about it?"
