Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters temporary clearance
On the way to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Zhuo Mufeng took advantage of others' unpreparedness and secretly took out a Demon Emperor Pearl from the Quanwu Palace just for this moment.
Being able to invite Zhang Jiaquan to take action, even asking him to deploy troops and generals, involving almost half of the troops in Wei Yudao, of course, he paid a high price. In addition to promising to give the opponent the Ten Thousand Transformation Demonic Power, he also had the Demonic Emperor Pearl.
The old man in the square hat took the Demon Emperor Pearl from Zhuo Mufeng, but did not hand it to Zhang Jiaquan immediately, as if he was on guard, but in fact he took the opportunity to examine it secretly.
After checking for a while and confirming that there were no tricks, he handed it over respectfully.
Zhang Jiaquan suppressed his excitement, took it, looked at it, raised his eyes and asked, "Didn't you lie to me?" He had not practiced the top martial arts of the Demon Sect, and could not judge the authenticity of the Demon Emperor Pearl.
Zhuo Mufeng said hurriedly: "How dare you deceive the Lord?"
It was not convenient for Zhang Jiaquan to say something because it would affect his style, but the old man in the square hat had no scruples and said with a smile: "This matter is not trivial. Zhuo Lu must not joke about it. If you want to confuse the truth with the fake and try to fool Zhuo Lu, just
I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences, and many people will die!”
The old man in the square hat was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. The atmosphere in the room solidified due to these words. He meant something, and Zhuo Mufeng suddenly thought of Wu Guanting and others.
Zhuo Mufeng lowered his head and said: "Senior is just joking. I borrowed my courage from my humble position, but I don't dare to fool you. I am upright and not afraid of my shadow. I can prove it!"
Zhang Jiaquan turned the Demon Emperor Pearl in his hand and said nonchalantly: "Why is there only one? I heard from people at the Demon Sect that there are far more than one."
As soon as these words came out, the calm eyes of the old man in the square hat immediately turned cold and cold, staring straight at Zhuo Mufeng. The auras lurking in the dark were also waiting for an opportunity to move, and they turned into a stream of auras.
The invisible waves were pressing towards Zhuo Mufeng in the center.
With Zhuo Mufeng's martial arts skills at this time, he was not afraid of these ambush masters. But he doubted that the layout of the Jiedushi Mansion would not be so simple. Otherwise, if there were so many people who wanted to kill Zhang Jiaquan, how could he survive until now?
Not to mention, the other party still has hostages on their hands.
Of course, the movement here is enough to alarm Sister Bai Yi. The problem is that by then, it will be like completely breaking up with the Jiedushi Mansion. This is not what Zhuo Mufeng wants to see.
Zhuo Mufeng raised his head, looked at Zhang Jiaquan fearlessly, and said with a shocked look on his face: "What do you mean, sir? I only get one Demon Emperor Pearl for my humble position!"
Zhang Jiaquan said slowly: "I will give you one last chance. I don't have much patience."
The old man in the square hat said: "Zhuo Mufeng, think carefully before you reply, otherwise I can save you or strangle you to death at any time!"
At this time, it was really an extremely difficult test for Zhuo Mufeng. He couldn't understand Zhang Jiaquan's thoughts at all. Taishan was sure that he seemed to have learned from some source that he had obtained a lot of Demon Emperor Pearls.
With Zhang Jiaquan's powerful position, it is not impossible. Just talking about the tacit understanding between him and the Demon Sect and cooperating with the Demon Sect, it is impossible for the Demon Sect not to reveal anything about the Heavenly Puppet Formation!
But Zhuo Mufeng had his own considerations. With the cunningness of the Demon Sect's gang, even if the Heavenly Puppet Formation was revealed, they would not reveal the specific number of Demon Emperor Pearls.
Zhuo Mufeng even suspected that the Demon Sect would deliberately conceal the existence of the Demon Emperor Pearl. This was very possible. In this way, Zhang Jiaquan was blackmailing himself at this moment.
The opponent didn't know that there was a Demon Emperor Pearl in the Heavenly Puppet Formation, which was why Zhuo Mufeng only took out one after much consideration.
To put it bluntly, even if his lie is exposed, the Demon Emperor Pearl in his hand can still be used as capital for negotiation.
If you take them all out at once, the other party will still suspect that you are hiding something, and you will lose your trump card. Only then will it be dangerous!
The thoughts in his mind had been filtered thousands of times, and Zhuo Mufeng answered without hesitation: "Sir, I have a clear conscience despite my humble position. I really only have one in my hand."
Zhang Jiaquan narrowed his eyes: "The complete Heavenly Puppet Formation is the first formation of the Demon Sect. There is only one Demon Emperor Pearl hidden in it? Zhuo Lushi, do you think I am a fool?"
Zhuo Mufeng said in a daze: "There is a Demon Emperor's Pearl in the Heavenly Puppet Formation? Is there such a thing? Forgive me for being humble and ignorant, but the Demon Emperor's Pearl in your hands was obtained by a junior in the Wanhua Tomb, along with the Wanhua Demonic Art."
Got it."
The old man in the square hat shouted: "Zhuo Mufeng, be honest!"
Zhuo Mufeng had a frank look on his face: "Bizhi really didn't lie. Everyone said that the Heavenly Puppet Formation is the first formation of the Demon Sect. How could I get close to him? Even if there was a Demon Emperor Pearl in it, I couldn't get it."
."
This statement was reasonable and reasonable, but it made Zhang Jiaquan's eyes flicker. He was not a member of the Celestial Puppet Dao, and he had never imagined that the Demon Seal could actually break the Celestial Puppet Formation.
What's more, just as Zhuo Mufeng expected, when the Demon Sect approached Zhang Jiaquan and hoped that he would cooperate with the plan, they only mentioned the Heavenly Puppet Formation without going into details. Zhang Jiaquan had no idea that there was a Demonic Emperor Pearl in the Heavenly Puppet Formation. Just now
It's purely a scare.
But with Zhang Jiaquan's momentum, those who were scared just now and whose psychological quality is slightly worse may be exposed immediately. The rest will inevitably be exposed even if they don't admit it.
However, it is a pity that the Zhang family is facing Zhuo Mufeng, a guy who has lived two lifetimes. Although he is only over forty years old in total, his psychological quality is extremely terrifying.
Not to mention his facial expressions and movements, even the fluctuations in his eyes did not change at all. Zhang Jiaquan could not detect any clues no matter how sharp his eyesight was.
Moreover, what Zhuo Mufeng said makes sense. The Wanhua Demon Man has an extraordinary origin. It is not unusual for a Demon Emperor Pearl to be placed in the place where the Wanhua Demon Art is stored.
"With Wanhua Demon's wealth, there is only one Demon Emperor Pearl in his tomb?" Zhang Jiaquan was not easy to fool, so he raised a new doubt.
Zhuo Mufeng had a frightened look on his face: "Beizi is scared. I really don't know the specific things, but I swear to God, I really only got one Demon Emperor Pearl."
No matter how earnestly he spoke or how anxious he was, the old man in the square hat always stared at him coldly. The auras in the darkness did not relax at all.
Zhang Jiaquan played with the Demon Emperor Pearl in his hand, his gaze was profound and unfathomable. At this suffocating moment, Zhang Jiaquan suddenly smiled and said: "I see, I believe what Mu Feng said, Mu Feng doesn't need to be afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the square hat withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. The breath in the darkness also disappeared.
Zhuo Mufengxin said that only if he believed that there was a ghost, but the other party had no evidence and could not blackmail him, so he would not take any action for the time being. On the surface, he looked like he was finally relieved.
"Mufeng has been working day and night, and I must be tired. I won't waste your time. Go down and have a rest. Lao Fang, go make arrangements."
Zhang Jiaquan raised his chin to Lao Fang, who returned to his previous friendly demeanor, smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Zhuo Mufeng to come downstairs.
Old thing! Zhuo Mufeng cursed secretly, but he finally managed to cope with the situation in front of him. He bowed his hands to Zhang Jiaquan, turned around and went downstairs, and found that his back was a little wet.
Soon after, Lao Fang returned alone and came to stand next to the desk.
"Old Fang, do you think this guy's words are credible?" Zhang Jiaquan was still spinning the Demon Emperor Pearl in his hand.
Lao Fang pondered for a moment: "On this journey, Lao Nu has secretly set up spies in the army, watching every move of this kid. Lao Fang can guarantee that he has never been out of sight, and has never been released or stolen.
Regarding the Demon Emperor Pearl, it is certain that he should only have one Demon Emperor Pearl.
But judging from this kid’s behavior, we can’t guarantee that he didn’t hide other Demon Emperor Pearls before he entered Gusu City or fled!”
Zhang Jiaquan was convinced and sneered: "I don't believe it either, no matter what he says is true or false, just keep an eye on him.
In addition, contact the Demon Sect and try to find a way to set up a relevant situation. The Demon Sect's attack this time must be because of this boy's promise. Maybe the people of the Demon Sect know something."
…
The Jiedushi Mansion is vast in area, equivalent to two witch mansions, and the environment and decoration are far more prosperous than the witch mansions. There are winding corridors everywhere, which can be said to change the scene with each step.
Zhuo Mufeng was placed in a large courtyard in the southwest. In the same courtyard were Wu Guanting and his wife, Wu Yuanyuan, and sister Bai Yi.
Others were arranged in adjacent yards.
Zhang Jiaquan did not do any tricks in this regard, and did not isolate everyone to force Zhuo Mufeng. Nonsense, everyone is in the house, and they can be taken down at any time if they want. There is no need to be so petty.
In addition, it is estimated that Zhang Jiaquan still doesn't know the true strength of Sister Baiyi. Lu Kuang was defeated with one move, and there is no way he would tell anyone about such a shameful thing.
"Mufeng, how's the matter?"
When they first arrived, a group of people, including Feng Yu, were gathering in Zhuo Mufeng's yard. Seeing that he had finally returned, Wu Guanting immediately stepped forward and asked after the leader left.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and walked to the stone table where everyone gathered: "It's all done. Mr. Zhang is very polite. Let's stay here for the time being. Nothing will happen."
After hearing this, many people felt relieved, but some also had doubts.
Due to the exhaustion of the boat trip and the excessive mental pressure, everyone was a little tired. After receiving Zhuo Mufeng's assurance, they chatted for a few more words and then returned to the yard to rest.
Wu Guanting asked Lou Linxuan to stay and whispered to Zhuo Mufeng: "What Master Zhang is asking for is not trivial, and he even let us know about the secret passages in the mansion. Mufeng, we must be careful."
Miao Qingcheng and Wu Yuanyuan also looked solemn. The sister in white just looked at Zhuo Mufeng, without much worry on her pretty face.
Zhuo Mufeng: "Dad, don't worry, Zhang Jiaquan won't take action against me for the time being."
He left more Demon Emperor Pearls just to protect himself. As long as the other party is greedy, they will only spy on them secretly for the time being, and will not use more drastic measures unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Speak what you say, don't be secretive, make it clear!" Wu Yuanyuan was unhappy and couldn't stand his incomprehensible appearance.
If it were someone else, Zhuo Mufeng would not necessarily pay attention to it, but this person was angry and he really felt guilty, so he sent a message to tell him what happened before.
However, it did not say that he had eight Demon Emperor Pearls, only that Zhang Jiaquan did not believe that he only had one.
