"Fellow Daoist Feng, are you truly so afraid of Ji Yue? To avoid offending her, are you really choosing to stand by and do nothing?" Song Wen said as he formed another hand seal and unleashed the Void-Shattering Divine Thunder.
Feng Zhongli was slightly taken aback.
It had been Song Wen who had told her to stand by just moments ago, yet now he was blaming her for not helping!?
"How could I, Feng Zhongli, fear Ji Yue? It's just..."
Before she could finish, Song Wen interrupted her.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, back in the Ghost Domain, I faced the joint assault of the Ghost Fox and the Ox-Headed Ghost in order to save you. My strength is far inferior to yours. The Ox-Headed Ghost, which was beneath your notice, posed a tremendous threat to me, to say nothing of the Ghost Fox. Had the death of the Black-Scaled Ghost Serpent not left the Ghost Fox with no heart for battle, I might have fallen into an illusion, with my life hanging in the balance..."
Crack!
Before Song Wen had finished speaking, thunder rumbled through the skies once more.
Another bolt of Void-Shattering Divine Thunder descended, striking toward the formation barrier.
"Besides..."
Amid the roar of thunder, Song Wen's voice sounded again.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, do you think that simply standing aside will convince Ji Yue that you had nothing to do with this? The moment you appear here, no explanation will clear your name. Ji Yue will only think that you and I are snakes and rats from the same nest. But if you help me kill Zhu You swiftly and leave at once, Ji Yue will have no way of knowing who did it."
"Enough."
Impatience showed on Feng Zhongli's face.
"I'll help you, then."
Red-black baleful qi instantly
