"How can it be?"
Fenghua Lu's body trembled. He didn't expect to hear such news from Wutan.
Then, his face darkened rapidly, and he shouted coldly: "Wutian, you are talking nonsense. I absolutely do not believe that my father and mother are spies from the Eastern Region!"
"Actually, I'm just guessing." Wu Tian said thoughtfully.
According to the manual of the Dragon King, among the four great saints, the Upper Xuan Saint and the Lower Xuan Saint had the deepest grudge with the Dragon King. Moreover, the whereabouts of the two were secretive. Except for going to the Xuanhuang battlefield, they rarely showed up at other times. So it was not unreasonable for him to be suspicious.
However, suspicion is just suspicion, and everything still needs to be backed by evidence.
"Don't worry, if your parents are not spies, I will cancel the soul contract. On the contrary..."
Before Wu Tian finished speaking, Feng Hua Lv's eyes sparkled and he said resolutely: "On the contrary, I will sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice and bury them with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Wutan and Yun Yuting were both stunned.
Fenghua Lu shook his head and sighed, "Although I am their son, I am more of a member of the East Region. No matter how arrogant and unreasonable I am, I know that I have a responsibility on my shoulders, and that responsibility is to protect the East Region. If I have to choose between family affection and justice, I will choose justice."
Wu Tian and the other man looked at each other.
When Fenghua Lu said this, he showed his sincerity, without any trace of deception, which made the two of them look at him with admiration.
"You made this choice, which proves that you are not hopeless." Yun Yuting smiled sweetly. This was the first time she showed a sincere smile since facing Fenghua Lu.
"Hmph! Don't say such harsh words. If it weren't for my carelessness today, it would be unknown who would have fallen into whose hands." Fenghua Lu snorted in dissatisfaction.
Then, he looked at Wu Tian and continued, "I will do my best to assist you, but if it is proven that my parents are not spies, you must not only cancel the soul contract, but also apologize to them in person."
"Of course." Wu Tian nodded, then tapped his head and said, "If there is a chance, investigate the other three saints as well."
"The other three saints?"
Fenghua Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Who are you working for?"
“Why do you think so?” Wutan looked at it with interest.
“It’s not hard to understand.”
Fenghua Lu analyzed: "If you are really a spy as the rumors say, you would never go to such great lengths to investigate my father and his people. So I have reason to suspect that there is someone behind you, and I'm afraid that person's identity is not ordinary."
Wu Tian did not deny it and nodded, saying, "You are right. We are indeed entrusted by someone. As for the identity of this person, you should be able to guess it if you think about it carefully."
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, Fenghua Lu's face suddenly changed. He looked up at Wu Tian and asked in surprise, "Could it be the Saint of Samsara?"
"Some things are better not to be made clear." Wu Tian warned.
"I understand, I understand." Fenghua Lu's pupils contracted and he nodded repeatedly.
The person behind these people was actually the Saint of Samsara. This was completely beyond his expectations. It seemed that an unprecedented turmoil would occur in the Eastern Region in the near future!
"Since it was his idea, I will definitely do my best to help. I just hope that father and mother will not go astray!"
Fenghua Lu looked solemn. He made a promise to Wutan and the other two and stated his position. Then he looked worried again.
Seeing this, Wu Tian sighed inwardly. Although Fenghua Lu did not have a deep relationship with his parents, he was still their flesh and blood after all.
As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important virtue. If he finds out in the end that the facts are not what he imagined, no matter how absolute his current decision is, it will probably be difficult to truly face it at that time!
As for telling Fenghua Lu the truth, Wutan didn't care.
With the soul contract, it is entirely possible to kill Feng Hua Lu instantly before he reveals the secret.
Next, the three of them began to discuss the details and did not leave the private room until the evening.
Fenghua Lu called someone over and arranged a room for Wutan and the other man to rest, while he left in a hurry. It was not until half a month later that he returned to Youxian Tower, exhausted, and immediately found Wutan.
After a secret conversation, the information Fenghua Lu had found out was not of much use to Wutan. However, there was one thing that caught his attention, which was that the four saints had a secret meeting the night before going to the Xuanhuang battlefield.
As for the purpose of the party and the content of the conversation, due to the short time, they have not been clarified yet.
The four saints would never gather together for no reason. There must be something fishy. Wutan asked Fenghua Lu to find out the content of the conversation that night no matter what method he used.
Fenghua's Lu Yan said that it is not difficult to find out the content of the conversation, starting with the two people.
The first person was his mother, Kongbi Vajrapani.
The second person is the steward of the Shangxuan Saint, Yang Mingkong.
It is said that one year, Yang Mingkong was surrounded by alien creatures and was about to die, when the Shangxuan Saint suddenly appeared and saved him from the gates of hell. From then on, Yang Mingkong followed the Shangxuan Saint wholeheartedly.
After a long period of getting along, Saint Shangxuan also regarded him as his confidant, and all the affairs of the Shangsheng Palace, big or small, were handed over to this person to manage.
"Go to the Holy Palace?" Wutan was puzzled.
Fenghua Lu explained: "Shangsheng Mansion is the residence of Shangxuan Saint."
Wu Tian nodded and motioned to continue.
Fenghua Lu admitted that Kongbi Mingwang was his mother after all, so it was inconvenient for him to take action. He also hoped that Wutan and the others could understand.
Then only Yang Mingkong is left.
It is said that Yang Mingkong's cultivation is at the perfection stage. Since he is the number one confidant of the Shangxuan Saint and also possesses a Five Tribulations Holy Weapon, it may not be so easy to pry something out of his mouth.
I heard that Wutan searched for information obtained from the Jiaohuang manual, and after comparing the results, it turned out to be the same as what Fenghua Lu said.
After thinking for a while, Wu Tian smiled and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can lure him out without anyone noticing, we will have a way to deal with him."
Fenghua Lu shook his head and said, "This is a bit difficult. Yang Mingkong is a well-known diehard. Unless the Supreme Profound Saint personally orders him to do so, he will not step out of the Supreme Saint Mansion."
“Haha! It’s not difficult, not difficult at all.” Wutan smiled faintly.
"Do you have any good idea?" Fenghua Lu was cheered up.
"If I remember correctly, doesn't the Supreme Xuan Saint have a little grandson?"
Fenghua Lu's eyes lit up and he immediately clapped his hands in applause.
Saint Shangxuan does have a little grandson, and he is his most beloved child. As Saint Shangxuan's number one confidant, he will definitely not sit idly by as long as he can be lured out.
Suddenly, Fenghua Lu realized a problem. Few people in the entire Samsara City knew about this matter.
Moreover, in order to protect his grandson, the Saint Shangxuan did not allow him to go out at all. Over time, even Fenghua Lu almost forgot that such a person existed. How did Wutan know about him
Facing Fenghua Lu's suspicious gaze, Wutan smiled without saying anything.
Regardless of whether the soul contract exists or not, the secrets of the Dragon King Manual cannot be leaked.
The importance of the manual concerns the safety of the entire Eastern Region, and there must be no mistakes.
“Boom boom!”
"Master, I have something to report."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a voice outside.
Fenghua Lu frowned and shouted coldly: "Didn't I order that no one is allowed to disturb you during this period?"
"Master, please calm down. I told the five guests the same thing, but they said they were with your two guests. I didn't dare to stop them, so I came to report."
Fenghua Lu looked at Wutan in confusion.
"They came faster than I expected." Wutan smiled faintly. If he was not mistaken, it must be Ou Xiaomu and others.
Seeing this, Fenghua Lu understood without saying anything, and said to the outside: "Bring them in!"
"No need to bring it."
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice was heard, and then the door was pushed open, and five familiar figures walked in one after another.
As Wu Tian expected, it was Gongsun Haoshu and his four companions.
Although their appearance had changed drastically, Wutan could still recognize them at a glance.
As soon as he entered the private room, Yun Feiyu looked at Wu Tian and the other man and said sarcastically, "Ha! You two seem to be quite free!"
Yun Yuting smiled and said, "Brother, this is not our fault. It's because your efficiency is too low."
"Junior sister, what's going on? You've only been with Wu Tian for a few days, and you're already speaking up for him?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just speaking the truth."
"Okay, okay, we can talk later. Let's talk business first." Wu Tian shook his head and laughed. He quickly stood up to smooth things over. Then he glanced at the five people and said with a smile, "How is it? Did you succeed?"
"Who is he?" Several people did not answer, but looked at Fenghua Lu.
Fenghua Lu stood up, smiling, and said with a cupped hand: "I am Fenghua Lu. I believe you are the companions of Wu Tian and Miss Yun Yuting, the famous Gongsun Haoshu, Ou Xiaomu, Feng Yihui, Yun Feiyu, and Lin Yichen!"
"How do you know?" Gongsun Haoshu frowned and looked at Wutan and the others in confusion.
"He is the son of the Lower Xuan Saint." Wu Tiancai had just opened his mouth when several cold murderous auras gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Tian hurriedly stood between the two and shook his head helplessly, "Can you please listen to me finish?"
Yun Yuting agreed, "That's right, you are too reckless. Fenghua Lu is very righteous and is completely different from his father. Moreover, he has promised us to help find the real spy."
“Ahem!”
When Fenghua Lu heard this, his face darkened and he coughed dryly, "Miss Yuting, can you please not talk about my father in front of me?"
Yun Yuting was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red, and she laughed dryly: "I'm sorry! I was so anxious that I forgot about it."
Then, Yun Yuting briefly recounted the situation.
It was not until then that Gongsun Haoshu and his companions suppressed their murderous intent and their expressions gradually relaxed.
