There is a saying that asks for a high price and pays you back on the spot. Negotiations cannot be accomplished overnight. Zhuo Mufeng understands that, and each faction certainly understands that both parties have their own needs, but they are all just trying to maximize their own interests.
When the last group of people left, Wu Yuanyuan couldn't stand it anymore. She walked out of the house and asked: "I don't understand. The recruitment order is an order from the Twelve Holy Lands. You can't really help the various factions to cheat, right? What if you mess with it?"
If the great elder is angry, the consequences will be disastrous. In this case, why don't you point it out directly and instead give them hope? What if they really agree?"
Zhuo Mufeng stood up, pulled Wu Yuanyuan into his arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and replied: "To tell you the truth, things are a bit complicated. Now even if the factions agree to my conditions, I can't agree to them."
Wu Yuanyuan buried her head in his chest and raised her head when she heard the words. Because Zhuo Mufeng's meaning seemed to imply the possibility of agreement, she was confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhuo Mufeng's expression was calm and his eyes were deep and unpredictable: "Nothing is absolute. We still need to wait. Some people don't respond or express their opinions. I can't touch your husband for the time being. But I believe it should come soon."
The next day, the various factions did not come to the door again.
On the following third and fourth days, there was still no movement.
Not only Zhuo Mufeng was waiting, but all the factions were also waiting. Obviously they understood that Zhuo Mufeng would not dare to agree to them without instructions from the superiors.
From Wei Huang and Shen Zongchi, the latest news comes every day.
According to what they said, Yue Chao and others have deployed some personnel near the Mozhu Gang. They have been observing the movements of the Mozhu Gang in the past two days and plan to choose the best time to take action.
However, two people have excused themselves for postponement and will not take action for the time being.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, due to the influence of the Qi of the Heavenly Puppet, more than 70% of the Mozhu Gang members had gone down the mountain. Now only the most loyal and elite people stayed in the gang. Once trouble occurs, they can be replaced.
Quickly control and transfer away. He has already made arrangements in this regard.
But waiting all the time is not an option. What Zhuo Mufeng wants is not only the safety of the Mozhu Gang, but also wants to eradicate those serious troubles in one fell swoop!
Seeing that the person he was waiting for hadn't come yet, Zhuo Mufeng looked calm on the surface, but actually he was getting anxious inside.
It was not until noon on the fifth day that Meng Jiuxiao hurried into the hospital and shouted from afar: "Mu Feng, someone from the Dongfang Family is here. The First Elder has summoned you to Nuanyang Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan in the courtyard were slightly startled at the same time. The difference was that Zhuo Mufeng immediately stood up with a smile, touched Wu Yuanyuan's face, and strode away. Wu Yuanyuan reacted and stamped her feet.
Stomping my feet, it was hard to follow, so I could only worry secretly in my heart.
The visitor did not enter the witch house, but waited directly outside the door. It was obvious that the matter was urgent. Zhuo Mufeng walked out and took a look, his eyes widened. By coincidence, the visitor turned out to be Dongfang, who had brought him into the Dongfang Family last time.
Jingting.
This guy still had a straight face, as if everyone owed him two million. When he saw Zhuo Mufeng, he snorted slightly. He didn't know if it was because Zhuo Mufeng slapped Dongfang Xia Ying's butt.
angry.
"Haha, it turns out it's Elder Jingting. Why don't you go and sit inside? Why should Xiaoke serve you a cup of tea and entertain your senior properly?" Zhuo Mufeng had a surprised expression on his face.
Dongfang Jingting's expression did not change at all, and he said coldly: "No need to talk nonsense, just come with me." He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out with his hands behind his back.
With a hot face and a cold butt, Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but curse in his heart, but who made his status unusual? He, a fourth-grade official, really didn't look good enough, so he had to pinch his nose and follow him with displeasure.
When he arrived at Nuanyang Mountain, while walking, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly realized that something was wrong. This was not the way to the Dongfang Family's residence. He couldn't help but stop and asked with a smile: "Elder Jingting, are we going on the wrong path?"
Dongfang Jingting turned around and did not answer, but stared at Zhuo Mufeng with gloomy eyes. At this moment, Zhuo Mufeng felt three strong auras coming from all around him. Looking at the position, they happened to surround him.
In the center.
With a sinking heart, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly looked directly at Dongfang Jingting: "Elder Jingting, what do you mean? I'm afraid the Great Elder doesn't know about today's actions, right?"
Dongfang Jingting remained silent, looking as if he was convinced of Zhuo Mufeng. The three auras in the darkness were still and still, clearly preparing for a sneak attack.
These guys are going to do themselves a disservice!
Dongfang Jingting's martial arts has definitely reached the middle level of the Tianxing Ranking, and those three auras are hardly any weaker than Dongfang Jingting. Four masters of the Tianxing Ranking besieged one person, and even if Wu Guanting and his ilk came, they would have to stop.
When he thought of this, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly changed his color, pointed at Dongfang Jingting and said angrily: "Dongfang Jingting, what do you want to do? I am appointed by the great elder, and I am also half of the Dongfang family. How dare you go behind the great elder's back?
What are your intentions in attacking me?"
These words were not only addressed to Dongfang Jingting, but also to test the three people in the secret. Sure enough, they noticed the violent fluctuations in the aura. It seems that these three people are also members of the Dongfang family.
Zhuo Mufeng shouted like a barrage: "I have no grudges with you in the past, and we have no grudges recently, but you deceived me here with the intention of plotting evil! Dongfang Jingting, I understand, you are a traitor, you are someone planted by another sect.
The purpose of the traitor of the Dongfang Family is to cut off the wings of the Dongfang Family and weaken the strength of the Dongfang Family. Dongfang Jingting, you have eaten everything and forgotten your ancestors, how can you have the face to meet the ancestors of the Dongfang Family!"
After some unceremonious scolding, people who didn't know better thought that this guy was a direct descendant of the Dongfang family. Even though Dongfang Jingting had a cold heart, his face turned red with anger and he shouted angrily: "You're talking nonsense.
Eight ways!"
Zhuo Mufeng said hey: "Why, you are so angry because I poked at you? The three people in the dark, I advise you not to help the tyrants and make the same mistakes again and again. Before Zhuo has seen you, leave quickly, otherwise
If the matter reaches the great elder, don’t think about it easy!"
Seeing the three companions' auras fluctuating, seemingly frightened by this guy, Dongfang Jingting became furious and shouted: "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in attacking, pressing both palms together. The violent palm force was like a hurricane passing by, attacking Zhuo Mufeng, causing the big tree hugged by several people on both sides to collapse.
Stirred by the Dongfang Jingting, the three people in the dark finally took action, and three equally terrifying energies swept through the void. Viewed from a high altitude, it looked like a torrent, surrounding Zhuo Mufeng in the middle without finding any gaps to break through.
Long before Dongfang Jingting took action, Zhuo Mufeng, who had sensed the fluctuation in advance, had already taken the lead in holding the sword. When the palm power came, he saw a flash of white light, and with a clang, the tear-stained sword was unsheathed half a step away, and his skills arrived.
Zhuo Mufeng, who was at his limit, unleashed his seven-color sword energy without hesitation, slashing forward with one sword.
Bang!
Like the sky falling apart and the earth shattering, the seven-color sword energy shattered Dongfang Jingting's palm strength, and continued to rush forward quickly. However, Dongfang Jingting's face did not change, and he stood motionless on the spot.
When the sword energy was three feet away from him, it was suddenly stopped by another force. Zhuo Mufeng took a closer look and saw that the energy from the other three parties separated from each other and merged into a brand new energy wall.
As the sword energy was shattered, Dongfang Jingting pressed out a palm. With the combined power of the other three parties, the power of this palm was greatly enhanced. This time, it actually shattered the sword wielded by Zhuo Mufeng.
Seven-color sword energy.
The air wave surged like a tidal wave, blowing sand and rocks on the ground. Zhuo Mufeng raised his energy and retreated, his whole figure swaying like a kite. But the opponent's offensive was far from over.
The next moment Dongfang Jingting stopped, the man on the east side punched out, and the force of his fist was no less powerful than Dongfang Jingting's palm. Zhuo Mufeng, who was in mid-air, had nowhere to draw strength and had to continue to use the seven-color sword energy.
confrontation.
pound!!
The void vibrated wildly, expanding and contracting. No matter how powerful Zhuo Mufeng's internal energy was, even if he tried his best three times in a row, the lethality of his sword moves could not help but be greatly reduced. He was hit by the opponent's remaining fist power, and with a muffled grunt, he flew backwards.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
With his body strengthened by the magic dragon inner elixir, ordinary attacks could not hurt him at all, which shows how terrifying the lethality of this punch was.
When the second person's attack came to an end, the third person's leg strength came back, and the power remained high.
Zhuo Mufeng understood that this was a battle formation, a terrifying battle formation composed of four top masters of the Tianxing Ranking. The auras of the four people were connected into one, which greatly increased the attack power and defense power of each of them.
Leg shadows were coming from all over the sky. With the help of Tao Demon Seed, Zhuo Mufeng quickly judged the flaw, but his internal strength was only 60% of its peak. There was no way to avoid it, so he could only fight forcefully.
Amidst the loud noise that shattered his eardrums, Zhuo Mufeng retreated violently for the third time, blood spurting out of his nose. Sure enough, the fourth person's finger power started again.
Zhuo Mufeng was very suspicious of such an offensive. Even if Tao Baibai, who was number one on the Star Ranking, came, he might not be able to survive a few rounds.
But Zhuo Mufeng couldn't be captured without hesitation. With a cold look in his eyes, he planned to use the power pillar value to transform the seven-color sword energy into nine-color sword energy. Even if he died today, he would have to drag a few people to his back!
Just as he was about to do this, the finger suddenly shifted its position and passed by him. There was an explosion from behind, but a huge boulder on the mountain peak a hundred meters away was blown to pieces by the finger.
This shocking power is enough to frighten the courage of ordinary people. If he is hit, Zhuo Mufeng will be half disabled even if he is not dead.
After the breath dissipated, the four of them strangely stopped attacking. Dongfang Jingting threw a letter to Zhuo Mufeng. Zhuo Mufeng subconsciously took it and saw the other person walking into the forest.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Zhuo Mufeng was confused.
Dongfang Jingting said calmly: "This is a warning to you. If you dare to attack Xia Ying again, you won't be so polite next time."
Zhuo Mufeng watched him disappear blankly, and the three people around him had escaped as soon as possible, as if the fierce battle between life and death was just a dream.
After a long time, Zhuo Mufeng realized something. Did Dongfang Jingting do this just to vent his anger on his niece?
Is there something wrong with him?
Zhuo Mufeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth with hatred. It took him a long time to calm down his anger, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must get his debt back today.
He tore open the letter with a sullen face, only to find a line written on it - "Do things conveniently for each faction." It was signed "Dongfang Changsheng" and stamped with his unique seal.
It is certain that Dongfang Jingting did not have the courage to forge a letter, otherwise it would be easy to expose it. In other words, this is what the great elder meant.
Allowing yourself to take advantage of each faction is tantamount to tacitly allowing each faction to cheat appropriately.
Zhuo Mufeng snorted, and it was as expected. He just didn't know whether this was Dongfang Changsheng's original intention, or whether he had to do this because he was under great pressure.
