Although he didn't manage to take back the Demon Purification Gourd, he had at least confirmed my speculation.
Lu Zhenyang really couldn't use the Demon Purification Gourd, but he had sealed it with a restriction formation.
As long as he didn't get the Demon Purification Gourd's approval, it was possible to take it back.
As for Lu Zhenyang's conditions, to be honest, I was a little tempted, but it was obvious that Lu Zhenyang had other purposes, so I couldn't make a decision right now.
While I was thinking about whether I should agree or not, the fat man on the side couldn't help but jump out and say to Lu Zhenyang, "Don't think that Zhou Yi will be at your mercy just because you have the Demon Purification Gourd.
I'm the owner of the Demon Purification Gourd. I'm telling you, I don't want this broken thing anymore!
Zhou Yi won't risk his life for such a broken thing.
Lu Zhenyang, go! "
The fat man hadn't been in contact with Lu Zhenyang for long, but from my words, he more or less understood what kind of character he was.
If I agreed with Lu Zhenyang today, whether I could take the Demon Purification Gourd back from him was one thing, and whether I could leave unscathed after taking the Demon Purification Gourd back was another thing.
I knew that the fat man said that because he was worried about my safety, but as a brother, how could I turn a blind eye when he was willing to give up a divine artifact for me?
Since the fat man got the Demon Purification Gourd, although he didn't say much on the surface, the excitement in his heart couldn't be concealed.
And I was also very curious. Where was the place that Lu Zhenyang was talking about?
What was his purpose?
He was exchanging a divine artifact for me to go with him. The benefits that Lu Zhenyang could get from that place would definitely not be less than the Demon Purification Gourd.
The Demon Purification Gourd was an extraordinary item even among the top ten divine artifacts of the ancient times, and it ranked very high.
I couldn't imagine what it was that surpassed the Demon Purification Gourd. Could it be another divine artifact?
And it ranked higher than the Demon Purification Gourd?
If that was the case, I had to consider Lu Zhenyang's proposal even more seriously.
Of course, he wouldn't have any good intentions, but just like in Chiyou's tomb, Lu Zhenyang had gained something, and so did I.
Moreover, if I went with him, I would at least have some idea of Lu Zhenyang's situation.
Thinking deeper, I might even have a chance to fight for what he wants when the time comes.
There was only one thing to worry about, and that was my own safety.
In terms of strength, I was definitely not a match for Lu Zhenyang. However, it was not impossible for me to preserve my life in Lu Zhenyang's hands.
After pondering for a moment, I nodded towards Lu Zhenyang and said, "Alright, I promise you.
But I can't go with you right now. The Heavenly Grand Ritual hasn't … "
It was obvious that Lu Zhenyang placed great importance on this matter. His eyes shone as he stared at me. After I agreed to it, he didn't wait for me to finish before he interrupted me. "I know the purpose of your trip. You are with the Wang family and your goal is to become the head of the ten Heavenly Caves.
Don't worry, I won't take you away before the Heavenly Grand Ritual ends.
Not only that, I can also give you a big gift. If we meet in the arena later, I will surrender without a fight. What do you think? "
The ranking in the Allheaven Competition was extremely important to any of the Heavenly Caves. I never thought that Lu Zhenyang would give up so easily.
The more decisive he was in giving up, the greater his goal was. It was the same logic as giving up on the Devil Refining Gourd.
However, this was also good. At the very least, I would face less resistance during the Allheaven Competition.
I nodded, accepting his proposal.
"Then it's settled. After the Heavenly Grand Ritual ends, I'll come and find you."
After saying that, Lu Zhenyang looked deeply at me. Then, with a tap of his foot, he leapt into the forest behind me. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the night.
Just as he left, the fatty, who hadn't had a chance to speak, extended his hand and grabbed my arm. He shouted at me, "Third Baby, are you crazy?
What kind of person is Lu Zhenyang? Are you going to go just because he wants you to?
If he wants you to commit suicide, are you going to listen to him? "
In a moment of desperation, the fatty didn't hold back and tried to persuade me again. "Lu Zhenyang won't give up until he kills you.
Listen to me. Let's not participate in the Heavenly Grand Ritual anymore. I don't want the Devil Refining Gourd anymore. Let's pack our things and quickly leave this place.
If we can't do it, we'll go back to our old home and hide. It won't be too late to find him when our strength surpasses his. "
The fatty's concern caused him to panic. The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He grabbed my arm and headed back to the palace.
From the looks of it, he really wanted to leave with me immediately.
I shook my arm and shook his hand off. I smiled wryly and said, "What are you so anxious about? Lu Zhenyang is powerful, but I'm not stupid. Don't be anxious. Listen to me first."
After a lot of persuasion, the fatty finally calmed down a little. Afterwards, I told him what I had in mind.
I naturally wouldn't take the initiative to throw my life away. I had already thought it through. Since Lu Zhenyang cared so much about this matter, I would give him some conditions before we set off. He would have no choice but to agree.
At that time, I would ask Lu Zhenyang to first hand over the Devil Refining Gourd and remove the restriction, giving it to the fatty for safekeeping.
The fatty and the Devil Refining Gourd had the same thoughts. Previously, the fatty couldn't control it because of the restriction. Now that the restriction was gone, the Devil Refining Gourd would be able to be used in the fatty's hands.
If Lu Zhenyang really had some tricks up his sleeves and wanted to attack me, we could also hide in the Devil Refining Gourd.
Although Lu Zhenyang was powerful, I didn't believe that he could break the Devil Refining Gourd and get us out.
If Lu Zhenyang really didn't attack us like he said, I would have the opportunity to find out Lu Zhenyang's true intentions. I might even have the opportunity to act in secret.
For example, if Lu Zhenyang wanted to obtain the item, we could take it by surprise and then hide in the Devil Refining Gourd. Lu Zhenyang would be dumbfounded.
I told the fatty all of my speculations and plans. After listening to it, the fatty's expression finally relaxed.
He pondered for a moment before letting out a long sigh. He patted his chest and said, "So that's what you're planning … It seems to make sense. Third Baby, you have to think carefully. Don't go for wool and come home shorn. Both of our lives will be in danger."
I sighed. "Lu Zhenyang's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger. If I keep running away, there will be a day when I can't run away anymore. I might as well take a risk."
Perhaps it was because he saw my helplessness, the fatty's voice became more spirited. He smiled and said, "I'm excited to be able to mess with Lu Zhenyang's matter.
Third Baby, since you've made up your mind, I'll risk my life to accompany you. When the time comes, I'll go with you. "
After deciding on this matter, the fatty and I continued to head back to the Holy Zhi Palace.
Because of Lu Zhenyang's appearance, I remembered the Wang family's formation, so I told the fatty about it.
When the fatty heard this, he wasn't surprised by the strange way the formation was broken, nor was he worried about the hidden dangers after the formation was broken. Instead, he looked at me vigilantly and said, "Third Baby, don't tell me that you want me to repair the Wang family's formation?
Although I'm a genius in formations, geniuses have a bottom line.
I don't know what your bottom line is, but my bottom line is that I won't repair Wang Can's formation no matter what. "
I really didn't know how this guy's brain worked. However, I hadn't thought about asking the fatty to repair the formation. After hearing his words, I had this idea.
However, since the fatty was against it, I wasn't in a hurry.
According to Wang Can, it would take at least one month to repair the formation. Even if the fatty was a genius, he wouldn't be able to repair it in a short time. It wouldn't be too late to tell him about it later.
I wasn't in a hurry to repair the formation, but I was eager to get an answer about another matter.
It was just my guess that the formation was broken by the Qilin. Since the fatty was good at formations, I could ask him to make a judgment for me.
Otherwise, if my judgment was wrong and the formation was really broken by Lu Zhenyang, given my relationship with the Wang family, it could bring a great disaster to the Wang family.
After I told the fatty about my plan, he became excited and hastily said, "Alright, it's not difficult to determine. I just need to arrange a few formations and place them in front of the Qilin to see if he can break them. Then, I'll know the answer.
I also want to test the limits of my formations. When can we start? "
This time, I was in a dilemma. "We can start anytime, but I don't know where the Qilin is today … He will come back. We'll wait for him to come back and try again."
At that moment, the two of us had already reached the entrance of the Taoist Palace. After saying that, I lifted my foot and stepped into the Taoist Palace. I heard a snort. The fatty and I raised our heads to look. In the middle of the Taoist Palace, there was a huge dog with four limbs on the ground. Its black mane fluttered in the wind. It was the Qilin.
Noticing that the fatty and I had returned, the Qilin glanced at us and then raised its head proudly.
It had come back here by itself?
This guy had ridden Lu Zhenyang to the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven today. He hadn't come to the Holy Zhi Palace with me before, but he had come here by himself. It was really unexpected.
However, after thinking about this guy's other actions, I felt relieved.
There were too many unexpected things about this strange Qilin. It didn't matter if there was one more.
The fatty next to me was surprised and laughed. "Haha, I was wondering why Lu Zhenyang's posture was so strange at the entrance. He took more than ten steps back while talking to us. It turned out that this little guy was here!
I'm dying of laughter. Even if Lu Zhenyang is strong, he still looks like a sick cat in front of your big dog.
Haha … "
