"Hehe …" Ao Zhantian turned his head slightly and glanced at Shui Mingzi from the corner of his eyes. A strange expression appeared on his face as he transmitted his voice, "So you didn't come to the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm purely to save Xiao Hua and Dao Master Xiao, right?"
"Of course I wanted to save Xiao Hua from the start!"
When he spoke up to here, Shui Mingzi didn't conceal it any longer and explained. "But right when I contacted all the Fellow Daoists on Hidden Immortal Continent, I noticed to my shock that there were truly many cultivators that received grace from Xiao Hua on Jade Mountain all those years ago!"
Ao Zhantian frowned. "Wouldn't it be better if there were more cultivators who received Dao Master Xiao's grace?
Why didn't you contact them?
We can save Dao Master Xiao together! "
Shui Mingzi smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ao, although we were saved by Xiao Hua that day, we were forced by Daoist Xiao to swear a blood oath of loyalty. Xiao Hua's scheme is not small!"
"I heard about Dao Master Xiao's blood oath and went to the Bronze Pillar Nation. I don't know why, but the blood stele is still there. No Confucian cultivators dared to overturn the blood stele!"
Ao Zhantian said meaningfully. "If that's Dao Master Xiao's plan, I'm willing to do it even though I was forced."
"That day was that day. What about now?
Does Fellow Daoist Ao still think so? "
Shui Mingzi looked at Ao Zhantian and transmitted his voice with a smile. "Xiao Hua is being suppressed right now. There are many Daoist cultivators on the Hidden Immortal Continent who received his grace. This is not a small force!
Did Fellow Daoist Ao notice something special?
Ever since the Black Wind Mountain was destroyed by the Immortal Palace, Xiao Hua's disciples have never appeared on the Hidden Immortal Continent. Even when the news of Xiao Hua being suppressed by Bi Qingyu spread, I didn't see any movements from the disciples of the Black Wind Mountain. Don't you think it's a little strange? "
Ao Zhantian smiled faintly and looked into the distance. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I understand what Fellow Daoist Shui means!
Not to mention the number of disciples of the Black Wind Mountain, and not to mention the strength of these disciples.
Xiao Hua's trip to the Yaotai Mountain and the Daoist cultivators he won over is a force that no one can ignore!
This time, Fellow Daoist Shui went to Biqing Yu to save Daoist Master Xiao. You plan to get a share of the loot, right? "
"Hehe …" At this point, Ao Zhantian revealed the truth of the matter to Shui Mingzi. Shui Mingzi only chuckled and didn't say anything.
"Then how does Fellow Water Dao Friend intend to get a share of the benefits from Xiao Hua?" Ao Zhantian decided to get to the bottom of the matter.
Shui Mingzi didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ao doesn't think so?"
Ao Zhantian didn't answer Shui Mingzi's question. Instead, he sent a telepathic message to Shui Mingzi. "There are only two ways to reap benefits!
The first is to rescue Xiao Hua, discuss with Xiao Hua, or cooperate with him, or ask him to give up a part of his power. The second … "
At this point, Ao Zhantian's eyelids twitched. He glanced at Shui Mingzi and said, "Kill Xiao Hua directly!
A dead Xiao Hua was definitely more valuable than a living Xiao Hua.
Fellow Daoist can borrow Xiao Hua's dying wish. Oh, or you can take Xiao Hua's keepsake and take control of the Black Wind Ridge's power!
That Black Wind Ridge disciple hasn't appeared for several hundred years. He must be hiding somewhere in the Hidden Immortal Continent. After taking control of this power, you can use this power to cooperate with the Daoist cultivators who have received Xiao Hua's favor. Fellow Daoist, the benefits you'll obtain will be much greater than rescuing Xiao Hua!
Fellow Daoist Shui, don't you think so? "
"Hehe …" Shui Mingzi smiled and sent a telepathic message. "Fellow Daoist Ao is really good at thinking. It's really a pity that you didn't write a book.
If this old man had second thoughts, why would I go through so much trouble to go to Biqing Yu with Fellow Daoist?
Biqing Yu's Demon King is suppressing Xiao Hua and will kill him sooner or later. Wouldn't it be better for this old man to act after he kills Xiao Hua? "
"So … Fellow Daoist is thinking of the first option?" A faint smile appeared on Ao Zhantian's face again.
"That's right!"
Shui Mingzi nodded. "This old man did have this idea. And now … This old man wants to discuss it with Fellow Daoist!"
"Huh?
So you're saying that Fellow Daoist is confident in rescuing Xiao Hua? "Ao Zhantian was a little surprised.
"I can't say that I'm confident, but I have some ideas!" Shui Mingzi explained. "When this old man was at the Black Wind Mountain, I once invited Fellow Daoist …"
"Oh, I remember now. You've told me about it before.
You're on good terms with a Great Demon of the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm … "Ao Zhantian replied in realization.
"Indeed!" Shui Mingzi nodded. "To be honest, this old man is similar to Fellow Daoist Ao. I also have the bloodline of the Demon Race.
This bloodline comes from the Ancient Bell Mountain of the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm! "
"This old man understands!"
Ao Zhantian nodded vigorously. "Fellow Daoist Shui, you can use the influence of the Ancient Bell Mountain's Demon King to rescue Xiao Hua."
"Demon King?" Shui Mingzi smiled bitterly and sent a telepathic message. "Fellow Daoist Ao thinks too highly of me.
How could I possibly have a relationship with a Demon King?
I'm just on good terms with a Great Demon under the Demon King's command!
Moreover, I don't know what the relationship between the Ancient Bell Mountain and Bi Qingyu is like. I don't know if the Ancient Bell Mountain can help in this matter!
In particular, even if I'm on good terms with that Great Demon, the Ancient Bell Mountain can still influence Bi Qingyu. I can't just ask the Great Demon to help me, right? "
"I understand …" Ao Zhantian nodded again. "Fellow Daoist Shui, are you planning to use Xiao Hua's power as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Great Demon of the Ancient Bell Mountain so that the Ancient Bell Mountain can help you?"
"Ai, yes!
That's what I'm really thinking … "Shui Mingzi replied," I was just testing you. I'm ashamed! "
Ao Zhantian narrowed his eyes and revealed a disdainful smile. The two of them had been testing each other in such a roundabout way for so long. How could he believe that this was Shui Mingzi's original intention?
He didn't hide his suspicions and sent a telepathic message. "If Fellow Daoist Shui is so considerate of Xiao Hua, then there's no need for us to send a telepathic message, right?
We just need to discuss this matter with the other Fellow Daoists. "
"Hehe …" Shui Mingzi smiled mysteriously again and replied, "This is indeed my original intention!
However, after seeing how difficult it is to enter the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm and how much we've sacrificed, I … had another idea!
Isn't that why I'm discussing this with Fellow Daoist Ao right now?
Right now, you and I are both at the fifth stage of the Origin Energy Realm and have the qualifications to take over the power behind Xiao Hua. If we work together, our chances will be greater. "
"Greater?" Ao Zhantian was a little confused. "Who has the strength to surpass us?"
"I don't know!"
Shui Mingzi replied. "However, I feel that we might not be the only ones who came to the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm to save Xiao Hua. If other cultivators also want to come … and take advantage of us, we have to be on guard!"
"On guard?"
Ao Zhantian frowned and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then Fellow Daoist Shui should be on guard against me first, right?"
"Hahaha …" Shui Mingzi laughed heartily. "If I were to be on guard against you, why would I need to be so honest with you?
You and I have experienced life and death together on the Yaotai Mountain. When I came to the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm, I also invited you to come with me. If I can't trust you, then who can I trust? "
Upon hearing this, Ao Zhantian opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something. However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. His gaze swept across the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators to his left. Although he could see that these cultivators all had similar expressions of nervousness, he believed that Shui Mingzi must have had something to rely on. Perhaps some of these Nascent Soul cultivators had already been convinced by him!
With that in mind, Ao Zhantian's heart suddenly jolted as he recalled the time when Xin Ping's body was destroyed by the Moth Gathering Beast in front of Yizhao Ridge. He had shouted, "Shui Mingzi, hurry and save me!"
At that time, Ao Zhantian didn't pay much attention to Xin Ping's disrespectful words. He only thought that Xin Ping was panicking and was being rude. However, now that he thought about it, Shui Mingzi must have already made some sort of deal with Xin Ping.
Ao Zhantian pondered for a moment before replying, "Fellow Daoist Shui, I thank you for your trust in me!
However, I am a descendant of the Dragon Tribe and have some influence on the Hidden Immortal Continent. Daoist Xiao and the other disciples of the Black Wind Mountain are nothing in my eyes!
I won't hide it from you, Fellow Daoist. I came to the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm to save Daoist Xiao … Of course, I have to pay a price to save Daoist Xiao. I hope that Daoist Xiao will allow me to retract the blood oath I swore for a thousand years! "
"So that's how it is …" Shui Mingzi muttered doubtfully.
"Fellow Daoist Shui, I don't care what you think or what you do!
However, Xiao Hua is my savior, so … I don't want you to lay your hands on Xiao Hua!
As for the deal between you and Xiao Hua, I'm not interested in it either! "
Ao Zhantian seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago as he finally spoke his mind. "Of course, if Fellow Daoist Shui has any plans that require my help, I won't refuse!"
"Good!"
Shui Mingzi appeared to be very happy as he nodded. "I'm very happy that Fellow Daoist Ao has such thoughts. Let's sign the contract now!"
"Alright!" Ao Zhantian agreed. "Let's sign the contract now!"
Shui Mingzi and Ao Zhantian had made their intentions clear. Shui Mingzi's expression was clearly relaxed while Ao Zhantian's heart was heavy.
Compared to Ao Zhantian, Xiao Hua's heart was even heavier.
He truly didn't expect that this group of people would all have ulterior motives. If he hadn't transformed into a python dragon, how could he have known what they were thinking?
When Xiao Hua had first transformed into a python dragon, he had felt that his recent actions were unnecessary. Now, however, he felt incomparably fortunate. It was the kind of joy that came from being able to see the situation clearly as a bystander.
Hmph, I want to see what kind of tricks you guys have up your sleeves! Xiao Hua thought coldly as he narrowed his eyes. He didn't retract his Heavenly Eye Divine Ability.
