Wu Tian's attention was all on the map at the moment, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Yang Zongyu.
He stared at the animal skin book, his eyes sparkling, and nodded, "Senior, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Yang Zongyu asked, "Did you and Qin Ming have an agreement that as long as the Alliance gave you the Essence of Light, you would rebel against Heaven and join the Alliance?"
Wu Tian was shocked.
It was only at this moment that he looked at Yang Zongyu. Seeing his worried expression, his heart skipped a beat and he asked, "How did you know about this, Senior?"
"You answer me first." Yang Zongyu said.
"Indeed, there was." Wu Tian nodded.
"Alas, you've gotten into big trouble this time." Yang Zongyu sighed.
"What do you mean, senior?" Wutan was puzzled, and a deep sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
Yang Zongyu explained: "Now, the Demon Lord of the Alliance has agreed to your conditions and promised to give you the Essence of Light, and Qin Ming is currently in the Lu Lan Temple, negotiating this matter with Lu Lan."
"Sure enough, something big happened, and it's related to me."
Wu Tian secretly complained.
What surprised him most was that the Alliance Demon Lord actually agreed.
Yang Zongyu said: "What are you going to do now, you bastard?"
"Yeah, what should I do now?"
Wutan had a headache. The Demon Lord agreed to give him the Essence of Light, which was a happy thing, but this surprise came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all.
After a moment's silence, he looked at Yang Zongyu and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions, senior?"
Yang Zongyu sighed deeply and said, "Whether you are in the Alliance or in Heaven, it doesn't matter to me. I just have to consider that if you break your promise, the Alliance will definitely not let you go. If you keep your promise and betray Heaven, Heaven will definitely not let you off easily."
Wu Tian frowned and said, "That is to say, no matter what choice I make, I will end up in an irretrievable situation."
"That's right."
Yang Zongyu nodded and said, "In fact, you shouldn't go to find Qin Ming, because after you left, Lu Lan had already been thinking of a way, and Ni Yeye, who had a grudge against you, went to the Heavenly Realm this time to find his father to negotiate with the Demon Lord to see if he could get the Essence of Light."
“So there is such a thing.”
Wu Tian suddenly realized. Only now did he know that Ni Yeye went to the Heavenly Realm for the Essence of Light.
"If God Lu Lan had been willing to tell me clearly at the beginning, would I have gone to find Qin Ming?" Wutan rubbed his swollen and aching temple. It was the first time he encountered such a headache.
Yang Zongyu shook his head and said, "It's already come to this point. There's no point in regretting. We have to find a way to remedy the situation."
Wutan sat down on the chair, rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought.
After thinking about it, he thought of a way.
If he continued to stay in Heaven, the Alliance would already know that he needed the Essence of Light and would not give it to Ni Yeye. That would allow Di Tian and the others to get second place in the Holy War.
As for the first place, he is determined to win it.
However, he was worried that the Demon Lord would replace the Essence of Light with some other treasure as the reward for the second place.
If this really happened, wouldn't everything he did be in vain
Joining the alliance is completely different. You can obtain the Essence of Light and continue to participate in the holy war.
As for the blood oath, he didn't take it to heart. What concerned him was the pursuit by the Heavenly Court and Huangfu Mingzhu.
The pursuit by Heaven is no joke. If you are not careful, you may end up with both your soul and body destroyed. Even Ye Tian and others will be affected.
Huangfu Mingzhi is Lu Lan's daughter. If he rebels against the Heavenly Court, not to mention becoming her enemy, he will at least disappoint her and hurt her heart.
There is also You Hanyun. If nothing unexpected happens, she must be in the Heavenly Palace in the Heavenly Realm now.
It doesn't matter now that his identity has not been exposed, but once his identity is exposed and the Heavenly Court knows that You Hanyun is related to him, there is no guarantee that the Heavenly Court will use her as a bargaining chip to make him afraid to act rashly.
“What a hassle!”
Wu Tian shook his head, not thinking about these headaches for the time being, and asked: "Senior, I have a question, why do you care about me so much?"
"At this point, you still have the mood to ask this? You are such an ignorant brat." Yang Zongyu complained in his heart, and then asked back: "How can you tell that I care about you?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Senior, please stop playing hide-and-seek with me."
Yang Zongyu said: "Who has time to play hide-and-seek with you? If you can't tell me, don't think too much about it. You should think about how to get through this difficult time."
"It seems that Senior is still unwilling to tell the truth. Well, I will talk about the first question. The first question is the rules you set when auctioning the Dark Essence.
Everyone knows that the Dark Essence is one-of-a-kind, and its value is immeasurable. And your Tianbao Pavilion is engaged in business, so there is no reason for you to leave the essence and not make money. Don't say that you value talent, or that you focus on personal ability. Even if you try to fool ghosts with these words, ghosts won't believe you.
So, the rules you set are unreasonable.
The second question is the ten-star VIP badge.
I believe that in the entire Northern Territory, the only ones who possess the ten-star VIP badge are probably a few giants like Lu Lan Tianshen. As for me, a small character who is as low as an ant in your eyes, how can I be qualified to possess it
I remember that I asked you this before. You said that you valued my Heavenly Pulse and considered it an investment. However, you overlooked one point. You are the head of the Imperial City's main pavilion. Such naive words should not come out of your mouth.
Because of your mastery of business, I am afraid that if you say you are the best in the entire Northern Territory, no one dares to say you are second. You should understand that investment involves great risks.
People who do business usually wait until the risk is reduced to the lowest before they invest. For example, I won’t say wait until I become a god, but at least wait until I am a little stronger, not now, because with my current strength, I may fall at any time, and there is no value in investing at all.
So, your statement is unreasonable.
The third question is about the spirit of light.
I'm not afraid to offend you when I say this, but you and I are not related nor have any friendship. What does it have to do with you whether I stay in heaven or join the alliance
However, you did not stand idly by. Not only did you go to the Lu Lan Temple to interfere, but you also came back with a worried look on your face and took the initiative to give me advice. May I ask, why is that
Therefore, your behavior is unreasonable.”
Wu Tian talked freely, and after he finished, he looked at Yang Zongyu and said with a smile: "Senior, do you think the three unreasonable things I mentioned are reasonable now?"
"I didn't expect this brat to be so meticulous. I thought I had done it perfectly, but he still figured it out. What kind of freak is this guy?"
Yang Zongyu secretly complained in his heart, his mind was full of disbelief, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face, it was extremely deep.
He smiled and said calmly: "These are irrational, they are just your personal guesses, without any basis or truth. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's talk about how you plan to get through this difficult time first!"
"Are you still going to quibble?"
Wu Tian was stunned.
He thought that if he revealed these loopholes, Yang Zongyu would tell him the truth, but he didn't expect that the other party had no such intention at all.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I'll investigate it slowly by myself. I don't believe I can't find out your purpose."
Wu Tian muttered in his heart.
From the current perspective, Yang Zongyu has been helping him all the time, but these giants are all experienced and savvy people. Who knows what they are thinking
So, he had no choice but to do it.
Pretending to think for a while, Wu Tian smiled and said, "My method is in my mind. When the time comes, Senior will naturally know it."
"Pretending to be mysterious." Yang Zongyu rolled his eyes.
Wu Tian smiled faintly, grabbed the animal skin book in his hand, looked at it briefly, and said, "Senior, I will accept the map. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Wait."
Yang Zongyu stopped him and said, "Remember to return the map to me after you use it. Also, although I don't know what you are going to do here, in three days, Lu Lan and Qin Ming will go to the Divine Realm to look for you. You'd better go back to the Divine Realm first, lest they find out that you are not here and cause more trouble."
"Come to the Divine Realm to find me?"
Wutan raised his eyebrows. These two old antiques really wouldn't wait for a moment!
He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that Xu Yi asked him to come find Yang Zongyu, otherwise he would have missed such important news.
"The senior is still concerned about the junior. Is there something fishy going on?"
His brows relaxed, Wutan said something jokingly, then stood up and strode away, leaving Yang Zongyu, who was stunned, alone in a daze.
“Crunch!”
It was not until the door closed automatically that he came to his senses and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"It seems like I have to be more cautious in the future, otherwise he will find out the truth sooner or later."
…
After leaving Tianbao Pavilion, Wutan went directly into the Star Realm, sat cross-legged on the top of the sacred tree, and began to look through the animal skin book.
The animal skin book is an inch thick, taller than chopsticks, and each page of the animal skin is as thin as a cicada's wing. You can imagine how much content is recorded in it.
The most important thing is that Wutan had to read it carefully bit by bit and not miss any place. As a result, it took him a whole day and night to finish reading the animal skin book.
"call!"
After closing the animal skin book, Wu Tian stood up, looking quite haggard.
Seeing this, Xiao Wuhao, who was planting spiritual essence in the medicinal field, appeared in front of him and asked, "How is it, have you found the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range?"
"No."
Wutan shook his head, and his haggard face showed deep disappointment and helplessness.
"Alas, after working so hard for so long, I got nothing in the end. It's really fate!" Xiao Wuhao sighed.
"There's no use sighing. The most important issue right now is to figure out where the Hidden Dragon Mountains are located. We need at least some clues to follow. Otherwise, we'll be working in vain like we are doing now." Wu Tian said.
