Zhou Tong's chuckle seemed particularly harsh in the dead silence of the secret room.
As if he had heard some big joke, he leaned forward slightly, and the face hidden in the shadows seemed to be looking at Chen Xiaotian's dejected face with great interest.
"My lord, what does this mean?"
"District name Tianlao... Hehe, that is the heart of General Director Wang Du. Do you want me, the brothers of the Blood Baleful Intent Hall, to go to that iron wall to find your son for you?"
Zhou Tong's voice was full of unabashed sarcasm.
"With all due respect, although I, Blood Baleful Intent Hall, have some foundation in Qing Province, I am not tired enough to challenge the entire Great Qin Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters."
These words were like a loud slap on Chen Xiaotian's face.
Once upon a time, his cooperation with the Blood Baleful Intent Hall has always been his absolute dominance.
Blood Baleful Intent Hall needs the protection of the Chen Family to gain a foothold in Qing Province, and he uses Blood Baleful Intent Hall to deal with the dirty work that cannot be seen in the light.
As soon as he gave the order, Blood Baleful Intent Hall would run for him.
But now, everything has changed.
Chen Hao was captured, and his Chen Family biggest secret was exposed to the Demon Suppression Bureau's butcher knife. It was only a matter of time before he was liquidated.
He has no way out, let alone the qualifications to talk to the other party on an equal footing.
The positions of the hunter and the prey are quietly interchanged at this moment.
Chen Xiaotian's fingers on the armrest, the knuckles turned white due to excessive exertion, and the hard century-old ironwood armrest groaned under the weight in his palm.
He was not angry.
After the extreme anger, there is a glacier-like calm and madness.
He looked at Zhou Tong, looking at this "subordinate" who once obeyed him, but now he was like a poisonous snake, spitting out lies in front of him unscrupulously, admiring his despair.
Zhou Tong seems to enjoy this feeling, but he also knows how to measure it.
A tiger that is cornered can still fight back with deadly force.
He suppressed his smile, and his voice returned to its usual cold tone. "Of course, Duke's Residence has stood for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. If the Duke of our country really has any plans, I, Blood Baleful Intent Hall, can't... participate in this grand event."
He threw the "problem" back again.
Chen Xiaotian took a deep breath, the smell of blood and sandalwood made him feel dizzy.
He slowly loosened his clenched fists, his voice hoarse as if two pieces of rusty iron were rubbing against each other.
"I, Chen Family, can completely turn to the Blood Baleful Intent Hall."
In one sentence, it is shocking.
Zhou Tong's eyes hidden in the shadows suddenly lit up with a faint light.
What does it mean to completely move towards the Blood Baleful Intent Hall?
This means that a Duke's Residence that has been deeply rooted in the Great Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years will become Blood Baleful Intent Hall's most solid chess piece, and even... become a sharp blade for the Blood Baleful Intent Hall to subvert Qing Province and even shake the country!
The wealth, connections, and military dispatch rights controlled by the Chen Family are core resources that Blood Baleful Intent Hall has been unable to access for many years.
"Your Majesty, please think clearly."
Zhou Tong's voice became more solemn, "This is no child's play. Once you take this step, Chen Family, there will be no turning back."
"A way back?"
Chen Xiaotian made a piercing cry of self-mockery, "Do I still have a way to turn back!"
He stood up abruptly, and Earth Realm Peak's breath exploded, but it was suppressed by him in this small secret room, and the walls of the entire stone room were buzzing.
"A son died tragically, and now, my most cherished legitimate son has been sent to the prison of death and life!"
His bloodshot eyes were staring at Zhou Tong, burning in them was enough hatred and madness to burn up everything.
"All this is thanks to one person!"
"Su Yu!"
When this name was squeezed out from Chen Xiaotian's teeth, the temperature of the entire secret room seemed to have dropped a few points.
Zhou Tong's body stiffened slightly.
There's that name again.
From the destruction of Tiannan Commandery's layout, to the failure of the Blood-Colored Secret Realm's plan, to the destruction of the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor's stronghold... this name, like a lingering curse, tore Blood Baleful Intent Hall's plot in Qing Province to pieces again and again.
The Du Ming he sent is dead.
Ghost Hand, whom he had high hopes for, also died.
Now, even Duke Chen's Residence, his most important ally, has been forced into the desperate situation of sacrificing everything by this Su Yu.
"I have a prerequisite."
Chen Xiaotian's voice was so cold that it contained no emotion.
"Su Yu, must die!"
"I want him to die! I want his soul to be extinguished and never to be reborn again!"
He is not discussing, but declaring a result that must be achieved.
He is willing to sacrifice the entire Chen Family, just in exchange for the boy who ruined everything for him to disappear completely from this world.
Zhou Tong was silent.
He didn't agree immediately.
Kill Su Yu?
He wants it more than anyone else.
But now Su Yu is no longer the captain Mystic Realm who can send people to assassinate him at will.
He is valued by Demon Suppression Envoy Wang Du, and his own strength is unfathomable. It is said that even Buddhist holy places like Xuankong Temple are overwhelmed by him alone.
The price to pay for killing him would probably be beyond imagination.
Looking at the silent Zhou Tong, the madness in Chen Xiaotian's eyes gradually turned into sarcasm. "What? Blood Baleful Intent Hall, one of the seven hall masters, doesn't have the courage to even kill a junior Earth Realm?"
"Courage?"
Zhou Tong sneered, "My lord, this is not a question of courage, but a question of value."
He sat back on the chair and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
"In order to kill him, is it worth losing one or two Earth Realm elders, or even exposing more of our secrets?"
"Worth it!"
Chen Xiaotian roared without hesitation, "As long as he dies, everything I, Chen Family, will be yours! The three thousand personal guards under my command, all the Chen family's sacrifices, and the entire Duke's Residence century-old savings can be used by the Blood Baleful Intent Hall!"
Zhou Tong's fingers tapping on the table stopped.
He raised his head, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate Chen Xiaotian's soul.
All of a Duke's Residence...
This deal is too big.
Big enough to make him and even the Blood Baleful Intent Hall headquarters go crazy with it.
A long time.
Zhou Tong nodded slowly, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.
"One Su Yu, exchange it for one Duke's Residence... This is a good deal."
He stood up and walked to Chen Xiaotian, his voice was very low, like the whisper of a devil.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Su Yu, can't survive this month."
"But..."
Zhou Tong changed the subject, and an even weirder light flashed in his eyes, "We can no longer use our people to kill him. Wang Du That old dog is watching too closely."
"I have a more interesting way."
Qing Province Demon Suppression Bureau, Listening to the Wind Courtyard.
In the secret room, Su Yu was sitting cross-legged, with the aura around his body like an abyss.
Within his body, two completely different forces were engaged in a Soundless struggle.
On one side, is the Zhiyang Buddha power cultivated by "Acala Body", condensed into a bright pale golden brilliance, entrenched deep in the bones, indestructible, exuding the Zen spirit of suppressing all evils.
On the other side, there is the overbearing evil spirit tempered by "Pagoda Demonic Baleful Intent Art", which turns into a dark golden air flow, roaring in the meridians, full of the desire to devour and destroy.
Su Yu's mind is like a skilled blacksmith trying to forcibly forge these two pieces of divine iron with completely opposite properties together.
