" Shen Yuan."
At this moment, in the heart of the formation, Shen San smiled as he looked at Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. As clever as he was, he knew perfectly well that his help to Second Master Shen had been exposed.
He remained silent, hoping the other party would only cause trouble for him and not implicate his family.
But if something happens to me, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to survive either.
She had finally enjoyed a few years of good life, and now that she was gone, who knew how her heartless father and brother would mistreat her?
"Don't be nervous." Shen San's voice was gentle as he slowly walked to the opposite side of Shen Yuan and casually sat down, looking at the river. He said, "I don't know why you chose to help Shen Er, but do you know what Shen Er's plans are?"
Shen Yuan lowered his head. "I don't know. I only know that you are not Third Master, so I can only trust Second Master."
"So you think he's trustworthy now?" Shen San sneered. "I ask you, what would happen if this Blazing Yang Grand Formation were destroyed?"
Shen Yuan was startled. He glanced outside at the cold, piercing gazes hidden beneath the river's surface, and a chill ran down his spine. He whispered, " Liuzhou... a place of utter devastation!"
Don't be fooled by the fact that Ao Zhen's West Sea Aquatic Clan seem to be living happily with the people of Jiangnan, and that some couples have even gotten together. But those under Ao Zhen's command have all joined the Divine Path Style, gained divinity, and shed their demonic nature towards human flesh.
In order to conduct his research, he once had an in-depth conversation with a water creature from the West Sea. According to him, in the past, demons would never have been able to coexist peacefully with humans. Human flesh was an irresistible temptation for demons. If there were no restraints, demons would want to eat human flesh every day. Even if there were restraints, many demons would still take the risk because the temptation was too strong, even more tempting than the most beautiful woman.
But since they developed faith, their obsession with human flesh seems to have disappeared, which is why they are barely able to communicate with humans.
The monsters hidden in the water outside are genuine demons; once they break through the great formation...
Shen Yuan shuddered. The thought of those familiar faces in the city being chopped up and eaten raw sent chills down his spine. He couldn't bear to think about it any longer, especially when he imagined his mother might face the same fate.
"It's terrifying, isn't it?" Shen San said with a smile, "But that's exactly what Shen Er is planning."
"Impossible!" Shen Yuan said coldly, "Second Master, I've met him, he's not the type to disregard human life."
"That's because you don't understand him," Shen San said lazily. "Using one tiger to devour another is a common tactic. Besides, he went outside this time. Are you sure he wasn't controlled by the West Sea Dragon King in some way?"
Shen Yuan: "."
What exactly are you trying to say?
"I wanted to explain the pros and cons to you. I might cause some trouble in here, but it's still better than letting those monsters in, right?"
Shen Yuan frowned, but couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment.
"I don't need you to do anything else. Just guard this great formation and don't let any demons in, okay?"
Shen Yuan was taken aback, looking at the other person, but couldn't utter a single word of refusal.
Even if the other party doesn't say anything, as long as I'm alive, I can't let any demon in!
"Looks like you've agreed," Shen San said with a smile as he stood up. "That's more like it. When faced with two evils, choose the lesser. That's a principle that's been around since ancient times. I'm not saying I'm a pushover, but for now, I seem safer than those things outside, right?"
"I don't know about that," Shen Yuan said coldly.
"Hahaha," Shen San stood up, then laughed, "Maybe you don't trust me now, but I don't need your trust. You just need to know that I understand your value. Those monsters outside don't understand. Once they come in, they'll kill you and everyone else in the city you want to protect. I'm different. As long as you're useful, I won't harm you. How about it?"
"Then thank you, Senior." Shen Yuan took a breath and said.
The other party subtly mentioned the person he wanted to protect in the city, clearly knowing his weakness; he had no desire to resist at all.
"That's settled then. I won't ask you to do anything against your conscience. Guarding this place and preventing demons from invading is your duty. Doing your job is never wrong, is it?"
"Thank you, senior!" Shen Yuan bowed again.
The other side is right. No matter how the two sides fight, my duty is to protect this place and the Blazing Yang Grand Formation. This is something that cannot be wrong no matter what.
Seeing that Shen Yuan had convinced him, Shen San chuckled and slowly walked out of the great formation. Looking at the brightly lit Liuzhou City, his face still held a smile, but his eyes were icy cold.
They're really having a good time, those disgusting monkeys.
"Is that all?" Shen San suddenly uttered a heavy voice. If Shen Er were here, he would definitely recognize it as Shen San's own voice.
"Any other questions?" the woman's voice rang out again, mocking, "From any perspective, he should guard that great formation. As long as he doesn't cause any problems, that old mudfish outside won't be able to get in even if he recovers his strength."
"Your second brother has no cards left!"
Shen San: "."
--
"Lord Wei?" Chen Ying asked doubtfully, "Is this his last chance? Didn't you say he was under control?"
"Just as you said, if Wei Gongcheng was completely under his control, then he should have come directly to the Underworld to deal with us. In the Underworld of Liuzhou, no one except the Lord can defeat Wei Gongcheng, not even Xu Hu. Why didn't that monster do that?"
"This"
Shen Er whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, that woman's method of controlling people is still using Ancient Insect. Wei Gongcheng has indeed been controlled, otherwise she wouldn't have ordered those Yin soldiers to guard the outer perimeter. However, she doesn't dare to let Wei Gongcheng return to the Underworld because she also knows that once the Lord of the Underworld returns, he will Underworld in a different state, and in that state, he might not be able to continue to be controlled."
"I see!" Chen Ying's face lit up with joy. "So, as long as we bring Lord Wei Gongcheng here, this situation will be resolved?"
"I guess so," Shen Er nodded, "But we don't have much time left."
"What's the meaning?"
"I obtained some information from the West Sea Dragon King. This woman is no ordinary person; she was once one of the most powerful beings of ancient times, a fallen Venerable!"
"A Venerable?" Chen Ying had heard of this before. In Lord Ziyue's class, Venerable was a terrifying existence above the King, a true god!
"If only our lord were here." Chen Ying couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. Faced with such an ancient figure, could they really defend Jiangnan?
Lord
A complex look appeared in Shen Er's eyes as he recalled the Dragon King's words.
Your master and that woman are from the same place, they are outsiders, and they are on the same side as that so-called King of Qin. Chen Qing is on your side now, but that may not be the case in the future. People's hearts are unpredictable, and the most important thing is that they have different positions.
Feelings and human nature are the things that are most vulnerable to testing. Only power is the greatest guarantee. Nothing is safer than having power in your own hands.
What do you think?
Shen Er took a deep breath, stood up, turned his back to Chen Ying, and looked into the distance. "The master's absence this time might not be a bad thing!"
Chen Ying was taken aback. She looked at the other person's back, her brows furrowed. For some reason, although Second Master Shen was still the same Second Master Shen, he gave her a very unfamiliar feeling. She felt that something about him had changed.
