Listening to Professor Deng's words and looking at his face as if he was in control of my life and death, I found it funny. At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Professor Deng had taught me the correct understanding of 'Qi' and brought me to the Earth Master realm. From then until now, it had only been three or four years.
Previously, I had been amazed by Ye Pianpian's terrifying progress in three years. Now that I looked back at myself, I realized that I wasn't worse than Ye Pianpian. No wonder Professor Deng thought that I was still in the Dragon Seeking Realm.
Before I could speak, Dai Nanzhou spoke first. He pretended to point at Professor Deng and said sternly, "Don't mess around. Zhou Yi is now a member of the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association. If anything happens to him, the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association will never let you go!"
"Shenzhen Metaphysics Society?"
Professor Deng sneered disdainfully. "The Metaphysics Society is a dirty place. They won't care if you live or die."
Hearing his familiar tone, I remembered that Professor Deng had also held a position in the Metaphysics Society. Moreover, he had been the Vice President.
According to the Metaphysics Society's rules, the Vice President was an honorary position, and his power had to be at least in the Acupuncture Realm. From then until now, Professor Deng's power hadn't increased at all.
In the Metaphysics world, increasing one's power was the most important thing to everyone. Professor Deng had refined a ghost and harmed people. His goal was obviously to increase his power. It was a ridiculous result.
I interrupted Professor Deng. "I can hand over the ghost child, but we can't do it in public. Let's find a place first."
Deng Meng was surprised by my cooperative attitude. He looked at me hesitantly and pointed at Xu Ziyu's room not far from us. He sneered. "Let's go there."
After listening to him, I sighed. It seemed Professor Deng hadn't been following Xu Ziyu in the dark all these years. He had been following her openly.
It wasn't hard to imagine what kind of life Xu Ziyu had been living with such an old man.
I nodded and called Dai Nanzhou. Then, we returned to Xu Ziyu's room with Professor Deng.
Seeing us return with Professor Deng, Xu Ziyu's face turned gloomy. He sighed and sat down dejectedly.
Professor Deng waved his hand and asked Xu Ziyu's assistant to leave. He closed the door and urged me again.
I smiled at him and let Tong Tong come out from the jade bracelet.
As soon as the pupil appeared, Professor Deng's eyes suddenly widened. He stared at the pupil with burning eyes and his face was full of fascination. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "It really is a Heavenly Fetus. It really is a Heavenly Fetus. It has grown so big in just a few years …"
As he spoke, Professor Deng reached out to grab Tong Tong, but when his hand stretched out halfway, he suddenly froze there. He suddenly cried out involuntarily, "No, why is this Yin Qi … Why is it … so thick?"
Then, he abruptly retracted his outstretched hand. He looked at Tong Tong and asked me, "This heavenly embryo. What realm is it at now?"
My Dao energy was covered by the dark green energy, so Professor Deng couldn't sense it. However, Tong Tong was different. Even if she didn't release the thick Yin Qi, it was enough to frighten people. As Professor Deng had reached the acupoint sealing realm, of course, he could sense it.
I smiled at him and said calmly, "A few days ago, she broke through to the Ghost King realm. I guess she's at the Glorious Knowledge realm among geomancy masters."
"Ghost King!"
Professor Deng exclaimed. He couldn't help but take half a step back. His face was frightened and envious. He looked at Tong Tong and then at me. After a long time, he finally spoke again.
This time, his voice wasn't as calm as before. He sounded a little guilty. "In just a few years, she has grown from a little soul to the Ghost King realm. Even if she's just a Heavenly Fetus, her innate talent is really amazing. It's a waste for her to stay with you. Give her to me.
I take back what I said. As long as you give her to me, I can let you go. "
I pulled a chair from the side and sat down. I looked at Professor Deng with interest. "She has the Ghost King cultivation base, and she listens to me … I don't understand why you dare to threaten me under such circumstances."
Professor Deng looked at Tong Tong. Then, he turned to me and said coldly, "Ghosts and humans are different. Even if she has the Ghost King realm, so what? She doesn't know any spells or soul tools. How much of her power can she use?
You want to rely on this ghost, but you've made a mistake. Kid, you can try. "
What he said wasn't wrong. The Ghost King realm was just a realm. It meant that Tong Tong's Yin energy had reached this realm. However, Yin energy alone wasn't enough. It was like a person who had Dao energy but didn't know any spells. He couldn't use his power at all.
The Jing Gui that Tong Tong and I had fought together was the same. Although he was at the Ghost King realm, he didn't know any spells. In the end, Tong Tong and I had worked together to defeat him.
Tong Tong was different. She had been cultivating the divine techniques from the Death Scripture. With her Heavenly Yin energy, not only could she use her power, but she could also use her power beyond her normal level.
I grinned. I didn't want to argue with Deng Mundo anymore, so I directly said, "Professor Deng, you used to refine small ghosts. Do you really think that a Seeking Dragon Realm cultivator can control a ghost with the power of a Ghost King?"
Deng Meng frowned and his voice became hoarse. "You … What do you mean?"
I smiled and activated the dark green power. I didn't hide my Dao energy anymore.
Ordinary people couldn't sense Dao energy, so Dai Nanzhou and Xu Ziyu didn't move. However, Deng Meng's eyes opened wide. His body seemed to be shivering as he shouted, "Impossible!
How could it be?! "
I stood up from the chair and my smile turned cold. I said softly, "I believe that after that incident, Professor Deng hasn't been in the Metaphysics Society anymore, right?
If you're still in the Metaphysics Society, you should have heard of the name of the young phoenix. "
"Young phoenix!"
Deng Meng naturally understood what that term meant. His face turned pale and his body shivered even more violently.
As I walked forward, I continued to smile coldly. "Professor Deng, I reckon that you don't pay much attention to the news. These few days, the Guangdong Metaphysics Society had a friendly competition with the Nanyang Daoists. The Nanyang Daoists were all at the Glory of Consciousness realm. I'm untalented, but I defeated four of them in a row."
Deng Meng's face turned the color of a pig's liver and he sat on the ground.
At that moment, I walked in front of him and looked at him coldly. I bent down and said, "Professor Deng, although you aren't in the Metaphysics Society and don't pay attention to the news, you should have heard of the saying, 'Those who do evil will bring about their own destruction'.
From Professor Jiao's child to Xu Ziyu and the child in her womb, you've done so many evil deeds. I wonder how much regret you have today? "
Professor Deng's pale face regained some color at this moment. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes instantly turned scarlet. He struggled to sit up straight and said in a hoarse voice, "The Metaphysics world has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. I'm just unlucky this time to have met a genius like you. If it were someone else, I would have successfully obtained this Heavenly Fetus Yin Soul long ago, and my strength would not have been reduced to this level.
Those who do evil will bring about their own destruction. Hehe … What is righteousness and what is unrighteousness? "
I shook my head. "What is righteousness?
What is unrighteousness?
When you were refining little ghosts, you went to the graveyard, the mortuary, and even dug up graves to look for corpses.
But you killed people and refined their souls. That is unrighteousness!
When you asked me for the spirit, you directly controlled me and took it by force. You even killed me and took it away. That is unrighteousness. But you set up a trap and killed Xu Ziyu's child. That is unrighteousness!
After doing such a heartless thing, as long as you have the slightest bit of remorse, you could go into hiding, or forget about this matter and continue on with your life. However, you've been by Xu Ziyu's side for so many years, and you've caused her to become like this. This is unrighteousness! '
As the saying goes, 'those who do evil are unrighteous'!
Let me ask you again. Do you have any regrets? "
Deng Meng's eyes were still red as he sneered. "I only know the law of the jungle. If I had any regrets, would you have let me go today?
Hehe, I don't have any regrets! "
I stooped down and stared into his crimson eyes. I smiled, but it was an extremely cold smile. I squeezed the words out between my teeth.
