Shi Po and Luan were in a trance, but Fang Ping was not.
Fang Ping kept staring at the Origin Realm, his expression changing.
According to his idea, it is natural to eradicate the root!
Tianchen was most likely a pawn of the Emperor of Heaven, and he had to kill the reincarnations of the three emperors. No, Tianchen didn't say kill, just cut off their path, but it seemed the same to Fang Ping.
Why did he cut off the ways of the Three Emperors?
Moreover, Tianchen is a peak-breaking eight-level expert after all. Even if he really changes his path to the top, it does not mean that he only has the strength of the top. If he changes his path, he will not die.
Therefore, his physical strength is still the same, but the original increase is less.
When it reaches Po8, everything is returning to the same level, and the original increase is actually weakening and strengthening itself.
However, this weakening only hides the original increase. In fact, it is still increasing.
Even if the avenue is stripped away, the power of Tianchen's physical body still has 5 million calories of energy and blood.
With the addition of Juedian Dao, Tianchen should also be able to crush some, but no matter what, the 50% increase is there, right?
Even at his weakest, Tianchen would have the strength to break through the sixth peak.
Even breaking seven!
This was not in line with Fang Ping's expectations.
Even if Tianchen breaks through the peak of six, he, a veteran of breaking eight, will have no difficulty in breaking through seven.
Cangmao felt that Tianchen would be fine as long as he didn't break eight, but Fang Ping felt that he was still worried!
The strong man who broke Qi...
How many people are there in the human race?
Yes, it is no longer a big threat to Lao Wang, Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, and even Tietou, but what about the others?
Tianchen, will he take action against others?
Fang Ping doesn’t know!
Tianchen seems to be upright, and even if Fang Ping gives him a chance, he is not willing to give up, but who knows what he is thinking now.
Can he be willing to have his avenue stripped away?
Even if Cang Mao is saving him, is he really willing to do so?
Fang Ping's eyes flashed fiercely, the Cangmao was not there, but the Tengu was, and he saw it.
From this look, Tengu knew that Fang Ping definitely wanted to kill Tianchen.
"Fang Ping..."
Tengu was a little angry and growled in a low voice: "Tianchen didn't leave, which means he didn't leave voluntarily. What else do you want? Now the stupid cat has cut off his path. Do you know that we have been practicing for tens of thousands of years, cut off his way, and cut him off?"
How cruel is the road to enlightenment and becoming emperor?
The cat feeder followed the stupid cat in, do you think he was really afraid of death?
It’s not like he’s afraid of you!”
Tengu is angry!
Do you think Tianchen is afraid of death?
Are you afraid of you, Fang Ping?
At their level, would they really be so greedy for life and afraid of death?
Everyone has their own goals!
Become an emperor!
Now, Fang Ping has cut off Tianchen's hope of becoming emperor, and life is worse than death. Do you think Tianchen will be happy that he escaped death?
No!
The tengu's eyes were red and he glared at Fang Ping angrily.
Tianchen is willing to enter the Origin Realm with Cang Mao, probably for Cang Mao's sake, because Cang Mao doesn't want him to die.
Fang Ping actually had murderous intentions at this moment, which made the Tengu extremely angry.
Fang Ping looked at the Tengu and said coldly: "So what? I, Fang Ping, have this kind of temperament. If anyone is my enemy, I will kill him! Today it is him, and tomorrow it may be you!"
"I am a devil, a devil, and killing people is a devil!"
I am the devil!
When you encounter an enemy, kill them all!
Thinking about the Tengu from Tianchen's perspective, Fang Ping didn't blame it, but he also wouldn't let the Tengu complain and feel resentful.
These are my words, no matter who is my enemy, kill them!
The tengu stared at him and said angrily: "Then if one day the stupid cat wants to kill you, what will happen to you?"
Fang Ping said coldly: "Behead him!"
"you……"
Tengu said angrily: "It has saved you! It has saved you many times! If it weren't for the stupid cat, do you think I would have let you go if you were in the God's Cult that day? If it wasn't for the stupid cat, do you think Kunpeng would have helped you kill Tiangu that day?
Kui?
Now that you are stronger and have broken nine, do you think it is all your own fault?"
Tengu said angrily: "Without the stupid cat, you are nothing! You would have died long ago!"
Fang Ping looked at it and said calmly: "If Cang Mao wants to kill you, will you let it kill you?"
"It won't kill me!"
"Of course he won't kill me!"
Fang Ping said calmly: "If it wants to kill me, then it is no longer a blue cat. I will kill it, so why not!"
"you……"
The Tengu couldn't argue with Fang Ping, and besides, it had no interest in arguing with Fang Ping. It just said angrily: "You feed the cat, you fed the stupid cat for tens of thousands of years, and fought for it against the God of Fire, and died in the Chuwu Continent!
This emperor took the initiative to tell you what happened today!
If the cat feeder had the intention, he would have attacked them long ago. Do you think he has no chance?
Now, you want to kill him after cutting off his path, Fang Ping, you are even more demonic than a demon!"
Fang Ping said nothing or refuted.
magic?
Maybe!
Ignoring it, the clones merged into one, and Fang Ping's Qi machine slipped away. He glanced at the sluggish people from the Kingdom of Chaos behind Shi Po and Luan, and Fang Ping said calmly: "Shi Po, Luan, you should keep an eye on these people. They won't be allowed to do anything for a short time."
Get away from you!"
Luan Gang was about to retort, but when he thought about Fang Ping hiding his strength before, he felt a little embarrassed. Isn't this guy planning to trick someone?
Now the strength is exposed, but the few people just fought very fast, and this is the Forbidden Sea, which has the effect of concealing the energy, and others may not be able to sense it much.
Fang Ping was afraid that his people would leak the secret.
When he thought about the possibility of trapping and killing the emperor, Luan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said sarcastically: "Don't worry, these are all my brothers! They are very reliable! If you are not exposed, they will not leave..."
As he said this, he said somewhat helplessly: "How long will it take for you to be exposed?"
how long?
Fang Ping doesn’t know!
He thought he wanted to keep a low profile, but as a result...he came to the Forbidden Sea and was exposed.
Shi Po asked him how long it would take and how he knew.
He didn't know that while the injured old man Li was recovering from his injuries, he said quietly: "Why are you so anxious? I've been holding on for a month. Maybe it will be tomorrow. You can't wait for several months?"
"..."
Fang Ping glared at him!
Who said that?
Nonsense!
Old Man Li didn't bother to say anything anymore. Ran and Shi Po looked at each other and nodded quickly, with a matter-of-fact look on their faces.
Yes, it does not take long.
As for Fang Ping, when did he stop?
It's okay to be in the human world, but now that he's out this time, they don't believe that Fang Ping can endure it, and he's been holding on for a month!
For them, a few months can still wait.
When the time comes, Fang Ping will break through the Nine and all three realms will know it.
Fang Ping was too lazy to say anything, but the Tengu still looked at him eagerly. Fang Ping sneered, "What do you think I'm for? Can you stop me?"
"..."
The tengu was speechless.
Can it be stopped?
Of course it can’t be stopped!
The Tengu is a little sad at the moment. It can't defeat Fang Ping. Forget it, dogs don't care about people.
But... why is the stupid cat stronger than me!
It doesn’t accept it!
After sleeping and eating for 30,000 years, it is better than this. It is unreasonable.
The more the Tengu thought about it, the sadder he became. At this moment, he felt a little dazed.
It was quiet all around.
At this moment, no one was in the mood to talk.
Everyone looked at Fang Ping for a while, and then looked at the floating Origin Realm.
Tianchen hasn't come out yet, and everyone doesn't know what Tianchen is thinking at this moment, but Shi Po and others feel somewhat sad.
Indeed some.
A strong person who has reached the peak of breaking eight is nothing more than this today. He is forced to cut off his own path. The road to the imperial path is basically cut off.
Yes, you can still walk if you change lanes.
But if we switch to the extreme path or the path of outsiders, can we really continue on?
Besides, will Fang Ping let Tianchen go?
Hard to say!
Cang Mao made peace with him today, and Fang Ping did not kill Tianchen, but after today, where will Tianchen go?
No one was in the mood to talk and waited silently.
After an unknown amount of time, the void trembled.
Cangmao and Tianchen walked out of their original realm.
At this moment, Tianchen was seriously injured and his flesh and blood had just recovered. His face was a little pale, but he was extremely calm. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.
Cang Mao...
Cang Mao seemed a little frustrated and depressed at this time. He looked at Fang Ping, protected Tianchen behind him, and said pitifully: "He has changed his path..."
Cangmao protects Tianchen, and it also knows Fang Ping's character.
Kill them all!
This is Fang Ping!
Without Tianchen who broke the Eighth Avenue, his combat power was greatly reduced. Now Fang Ping can easily kill him.
Cangmao couldn't guarantee whether Fang Ping had deliberately asked Tianchen to replace Dao before killing him before he took action.
So Cang Mao wants to stop him!
Because it was the way he came up with to save the life of the cat guard captain.
Fang Ping didn't say anything. Old Man Li stopped healing his wounds. At this moment, he opened his eyes and walked over to the sky, saying, "Even if Tianchen replaces Dao Dao, he is already a peak eight-breaker, and he still has the strength to break six or even seven!"
Old Man Li didn't give Fang Ping a chance to speak.
Cang Mao broke nine!
Should Fang Ping kill Tianchen or not?
Killing, wouldn’t Cangmao be dissatisfied?
For Tianchen, Cang Mao, who had made Fang Ping his friend, offended Cang Mao. Cang Mao was not the only one. Tengu and the others all had a good relationship with Cang Mao.
Fang Ping may not be willing to kill him.
In this case, Old Man Li will not give Fang Ping a chance to speak, and he will be the villain.
Even if they fall out, Fang Ping and Cang Mao still have room for change.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Cang Mao was a little unhappy, and the Tengu also flashed fiercely, glaring at Old Man Li.
Old Man Li didn't care and continued: "He wants to kill the reincarnation of the Three Emperors and is determined. Even if he doesn't take action now, it doesn't mean he won't take action in the future! If he takes action when the time comes, he will die!
If you don’t want him to die..."
Old Man Li looked at Cang Mao and said slowly: "He must be controlled by the human race! Senior Tianchen was seriously injured this time, so why not ask him to go to Wanyuan Palace to heal his injuries? Cang Mao, you also know that Wanyuan Palace is a divine weapon.
It is a place of cultivation.
When Fang Ping obtained the seeds before, he also brought them from the Wanyuan Palace. The vitality there is extremely rich and is good for healing.
Senior is there to heal his injuries, which will help his recovery!"
To put it nicely, Tianchen should be imprisoned in Wanyuan Palace.
The artifact cannot be broken by Tianchen now.
Moreover, in Zhenxing City, there are two extremely powerful men, Zhentian King and Casting God Envoy, so even if Tianchen wants to do something, he can't do it.
Imprison Tianchen!
If Fang Ping wanted to imprison Tianchen, Cangmao might not be happy, so Old Man Li said it for him.
If Cangmao wants to hate, then hate me!
Tianchen was silent.
Tengu said angrily: "You want to imprison him?"
It had also been suppressed in King Kun's Palace for many years in the past, and it knew what it felt like.
Tengu doesn’t agree!
Tianchen cut off his own path, which was already a shame in the eyes of the Tengu. Now he has to be imprisoned by the human race, so he might as well kill Tianchen!
For strong men like them, death would be much happier than this!
Old Man Li said in a low voice: "It's to heal! Senior Tianchen has many enemies, and Chuwu also wants to kill him. Does Senior Tiangu want to protect Senior Tianchen all the time? Since he cannot always protect him, it is easy for others to find out that he is abnormal now, and thus
Killed!
I went to the Wanyuan Palace, and the Heaven-Suppressing King and the God-casting Envoy are both there. Three old friends, we can talk more!"
"Asshole..."
The tengu is so angry, do you really think it is stupid?
"Fang Ping, don't bully others too much!"
Tengu was angry, turned back to look at Cang Mao, and said angrily: "You are also breaking through the Nine Realms, are you afraid of him?"
If they really want to fight, they are not afraid of Fang Ping.
Fang Ping handed it over to Cang Mao. Fang Ping's clone, Old Man Li, and Tietou were no match for it.
Cangmao looked frustrated and a little confused.
"fraud……"
Cangmao looked at Fang Ping. It had never thought about imprisoning Tianchen before. It only thought about changing the path. If Tianchen couldn't kill the three of them, the liar would let Tianchen go.
But now...
Fang Ping smiled, "Big Cat, in terms of strength, I'm not as good as you, why do you need to beg me? If you take him away, I won't say anything, let alone stop him."
Cangmao looked at him pitifully.
Fang Ping sighed, suddenly smiled, looked at Tianchen, and said lightly: "That's all, I have many enemies! Tietou and the others also have many enemies, and there is no shortage of a warrior who has broken the Eight Paths...
If you really want to continue killing them, then let them do it themselves!
If you can kill, you are considered powerful. If they are useless, they will die if they die.
If you are killed in a counter-attack, you deserve it!"
Old Man Li glanced at Fang Ping, but Fang Ping raised his hand and said nothing to him.
He figured it out.
Tianchen now has the strength of Po Qi to death, and Old Yao is also a warrior in the Heavenly King Realm. If he really encounters him, he may not be killed, and it is not impossible to kill him back!
I have too many enemies, a lot of them.
In this case, there is no need to fall out again at this time.
If they fall out again, it won't be Tianchen's face. Cang Mao, Tengu, and even Shi Po and Luan may think that he is too powerful to kill them all. In the grief of the rabbit's death and the fox's death, he may alienate the human race.
Tianchen looked at him, then at Cangmao, and suddenly laughed, whether it was a self-deprecating laugh or something else.
Tianchen, that is also the most powerful person, the top most powerful person!
In the past, he even killed the most powerful warriors in their early days. At that time, only the emperor could do this.
Today, maybe I should laugh at myself.
He was rescued by Cangmao, cut off the road, and escaped with his life.
Cangmao might want to save his life, but does Tianchen really care about this life?
"I lost..."
Tianchen murmured, looked up at Fang Ping, then looked at Cang Mao, and said bitterly: "If you lose, you will die!"
Fang Ping frowned.
Cangmao was also a little uneasy and comforted: "The liar is so powerful, don't blow yourself up..."
Tianchen laughed and said softly: "I really wanted to blow myself up, I just blew myself up. My life... you saved it!"
He looked at Cang Mao, his eyes becoming more complicated, and said softly: "Tianchen in the past... has died once, no, twice."
"Maybe...I have already returned it..."
He said words that everyone did not understand, feeling a little painful and relieved at the same time. He looked at Cang Mao and said bitterly: "My life... you saved it now, then it is yours... If you don't let me die,
Then I won’t die.”
The Cangmao looked at him blankly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It didn't know if it was right that it had just asked the cat guard captain to change the road.
Tianchen looked at Fang Ping again and said in a low voice: "Don't ask me anything again, I won't tell you anything! I can go to Wanyuan Palace... But, don't take Cang Mao to walk in the Three Realms anymore..."
Fang Ping frowned.
"It broke nine..."
Tianchen looked at Cang Mao, his eyes becoming more complicated, "Pojiu's Cang Mao...maybe become the real emperor soon! I can't die, you...it's best not to die, and the Tengu doesn't want to die either..."
Fang Ping was shocked!
Tianchen chose not to die!
Is he really afraid of death?
Tianchen was so determined before, even if he was not Fang Ping's opponent, he was not willing to escape.
But ever since Cang Mao showed off his strength of breaking nine, Tianchen suddenly gave up completely. Cang Mao asked him to replace Dao, so he did. For a strong person, it is really more uncomfortable than death.
But he did it anyway!
Old Man Li said to imprison him, and Fang Ping said to let him go, but he did not choose to leave.
Tianchen murmured: "Today, my strength has dropped sharply. If I encounter my former enemies, maybe... I will die in this sea area! Whether I go to the human world, Zhen He Zao is a strong man. Unless the Three Realms are destroyed, otherwise...
I can’t die either.”
Tianchen laughed at himself and said quickly: "Fang Ping, don't die too early, live well, there is always a chance, right? If you die, everyone will die, maybe... there is really no chance."
At this moment, Fang Ping thought of Cang Mao and the black mire in Cang Mao's original world!
Tianchen knows!
He knows something!
He can't die, Fang Ping can't die, and the Tengu can't die!
The next moment, Tianchen said again: "The Spirit Emperor has taken care of Cang Mao for many years. For the sake of Cang Mao, don't kill the Spirit Emperor... The Spirit Emperor is also a miserable person. If she is really in danger... she will be seriously injured and imprisoned.
She...don't kill her..."
Fang Ping has completely understood what he meant!
He didn't want to die because he didn't want Cang Mao to be desperate and sad.
Will Cangmao be sad?
It will!
When he died in battle in the past, Cang Mao was very sad and even forgot some memories about him. After he recovered, Cang Mao remembered these things.
Fang Ping's face was solemn, he looked at him deeply and said nothing.
Tianchen sighed again: "It's better to expose your nine-breaking power later. It's too early... too fast... they won't let you grow. You still take Cang Mao with you..."
Tianchen is so bitter, Cangmao actually breaks nine!
Doesn’t Cang Mao not practice?
Why is it so fast!
Is it a good thing to be a powerful Cangmao?
That’s not necessarily the case!
Tianchen stopped talking, looked at the dazed Cang Mao, suddenly took a step forward, rubbed Cang Mao's head, and said bitterly: "Cats, don't fight! Isn't that what you said yourself?
From now on, don't fight anymore.
Cats only eat, drink and sleep. Eat well, drink well and sleep well. This is a cat, you know?
Before you cast the jade bone, I knew that your strength had exceeded my expectations. I thought that if you didn't practice, you would only be able to break through eight at most.
But...I never thought...Hey!"
Cangmao looked at him, a little confused, but also seemed to understand...
But Tianchen stopped talking, gently rubbed Cang Mao's head, looked at Tengu and said: "Take good care of Cang Mao! You useless thing, if you weren't too weak, why would you be killed in Tianfen?
As for letting it wander around!"
Tianchen suddenly felt a little annoyed and angry!
"If it hadn't been delayed for thousands of years, maybe this time you would break out of seclusion and break the nine!"
"If you weren't a waste, why would it need to survive on its own, want to be stronger, and protect itself? You useless guy!"
The Tengu drooped his head. At this time, he lost his previous domineering attitude and seemed a little depressed.
"Take care of it!"
Tianchen said something again, and Tengu nodded without saying anything.
Tianchen let out a breath and looked at Fang Ping, "Don't let Cang Mao fight anymore, it's just a cat? Isn't it? Fang Ping, since you are confident that you can defeat the Nine Emperors, then go do it yourself!
You said I relied on Cangmao to survive, are you better than me?"
Fang Ping frowned and said nothing.
He knew what Tianchen was worried about.
After a long time, Fang Ping said in a deep voice: "Is it dangerous?"
"It's dangerous!"
Tianchen's tone was cold, he looked at Fang Ping, and soon regained his composure, "I will go to the human world by myself. If you are not worried, you can go with me! You must have a purpose when you leave the human world this time, but... I still want to say
, you have to solve your own affairs yourself!"
Fang Ping said solemnly: "I have the power to break nine, so I can naturally solve it!"
"I hope so!"
Tianchen didn't care about this and looked at Tengu again, "You go with him. Remember, there is danger...you protect Cangmao!"
He was worried about Fang Ping. Whether Fang Ping was using Cang Mao or not... Fang Ping only knew.
He wanted the Tengu to follow them.
Tengu glanced at Fang Ping and nodded.
"Break the three gates as quickly as possible!"
Tianchen once again told Tiangu, "The door of your Qi and Blood and the door of life have been broken. The door of spiritual consciousness... you can go find it..."
Fang Ping didn't hear what he said next.
Tianchen is transmitting the message.
Fang Ping did not eavesdrop. He frowned slightly and glanced at Tengu and Tianchen. Tianchen seemed to have asked Tengu to find someone who could help it break through the door of spiritual consciousness.
Who to look for?
Fang Ping doesn't know, but he will know sooner or later.
After saying this, Tianchen looked at Fang Ping again and said calmly: "Are you going to escort me to the human world?"
Fang Ping snorted lightly, but he didn't care and directly crushed a piece of jade pendant.
After waiting for a moment, the void was soon torn apart.
As soon as King Zhentian appeared, he cursed and said: "There is no strong enemy, so you can pinch it with a hammer! Do you really think I have nothing to do? I will pinch you at every turn..."
"..."
The sound stopped suddenly!
King Zhentian glanced at Fang Ping strangely, and then suddenly looked at Tianchen, a little confused.
What's going on?
Why does it feel like Tianchen's strength has dropped so much?
This kid Fang Ping... looks confused no matter what.
What's wrong with this?
Fang Ping didn't waste any time and said directly: "Send Senior Tianchen to the Wanyuan Palace for training! There is something wrong with the senior path and he cannot leave the Wanyuan Palace. My godfather should take good care of him to prevent him from running around and collapsing his body!"
King Zhentian was not stupid, he understood what Fang Ping meant as soon as he heard it.
Imprison Tianchen!
King Zhentian's eyes flickered slightly.
Fang Ping actually suppressed Tianchen!
Even though they were both at the peak of Poba, he didn't think Fang Ping could easily suppress Tianchen.
But now, Fang Ping doesn't seem to have any injuries, but Tianchen is seriously injured and his energy is unstable. At Tianchen's level, even his energy cannot be guaranteed to be stable. The injury is indeed not light.
Who did it?
Of course it’s Fang Ping!
What's more, the Tengu on the side is also injured now. Apart from Fang Ping, I'm afraid no one will do this.
Tengu and Tianchen joined forces and were suppressed by Fang Ping!
King Zhen Tian squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Ping.
Before, Fang Ping easily sensed the chase between him and the book boy. Before, he was thinking about Cang Mao, but now... he is thinking about Fang Ping.
This kid broke through nine without making a sound?
It's well hidden!
Fang Ping remained calm and let him look. You can look at it as you like, but I won’t say anything.
King Zhentian laughed without asking, looked at Tianchen, and said with a smile: "That's good, we are old friends! There are fewer and fewer old friends in the three realms. Tianchen, how about we go to Zhenxing City to sit there?"
Tianchen didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
King Zhen Tian tore through the void and was about to take him away when Tianchen suddenly stopped, looked at Fang Ping, sighed, and said slowly: "Don't take Cang Mao into the source at will. The source is more complicated and more dangerous than you think.
!
The passage connecting the three emperors is the only safe passage from the source to the outside world!
This is a passage opened by the Three Emperors themselves, not a fixed passage!
The three gates are fixed passages. The Nine Emperors Enlightenment is all entered through the three gates. It is not absolutely safe to go through the three gates...
Don't open the passage easily. If someone discovers you, you will miss one chance of escape.
There are three passages, even if you know where they are, don’t tell others..."
Tianchen was a little disinterested, waved his hand, stopped talking, and stopped looking at Cangmao and the others, stepped into the void passage, and left with King Zhentian.
Fang Ping's eyes were flickering, and he was still thinking about something. In his ears, King Zhentian's voice sounded: "The source may be a cage, and the passage opened by the Three Emperors may indeed be a safe passage as he said!
Boy, don't open it easily, don't be discovered.
I had some guesses before, but I was not sure, but now I understand a little bit...be careful, and those three guys, let them keep a low profile, so as not to be killed.
The emperor may also have a guess that he may arrest them.
Does Tianchen want to take action against the three of them?
If so, it may be to cut off this passage and make the source land a real prison. Boy, take it easy!"
King Zhentian didn't know this before, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something.
Tianchen is a disciple of the Emperor of Heaven, and may know more than him about some things.
As a result, he also thought more, and felt a little regretful at the moment. Suddenly, he cursed via voice transmission: "I may have been fooled! The God Emperor and others left Sanmen that day, maybe they deliberately created opportunities for me!
I have broken through two gates and established the avenue at its root. If I hadn't taken action at the end of the battle, I might have been trapped in the root!
I originally thought it was for the Taoist Tree... Mad, now that I think about it, it was most likely to tempt me to enter!
The Dao tree is already broken, so those guys may not know it, but I...fuck, I must have been tricked!"
At this moment, King Zhentian was a little out of sorts.
He may have been plotted against!
I hunt geese all day long, and today I was blinded by a goose peck!
The opportunity that day, no matter what kind of opportunity it was, was obviously a trap. Those guys knew that he was cautious and did not dare to rush into the place while they were there.
But at that time, the God Emperor and the others came for the Dao tree, and when his opportunity came, the King of Zhentian would not give up.
Sighing in his heart, King Zhentian was a little irritated. He cursed for a while and left instantly.
Got cheated!
If it weren't for what Tianchen said just now, he wouldn't have realized that he had been tricked. Sure enough, there were many old scheming people, and he was not the most insidious one.
ps: Two updates to 14,000, please be a little slow, please forgive me.
