NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1305: An Alliance?
"Venerable Hong!"
Zhou Yu and Liu Tu both bowed simultaneously and said.
This person was Venerable Hong.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Yu asked.
Venerable Hong smiled slightly and said:
"I'm fine."
"That old ghost Ju Chun is no match for me. I've already dealt with him."
"However, speaking of which, young man, you really know how to stir up trouble, even somehow provoking that old fellow."
"The people of Yin Ming Sect are known to never let things go easily; they certainly won't let this rest."
"Here, they might not make a move again, but once you leave here, they will surely strike again."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu shrugged and said helplessly:
"Venerable Hong, sometimes trouble finds you, even when you're not looking for it."
"I'm forced to act; I can't just offer my neck for them to cut at will."
"Hahaha..."
Venerable Hong laughed heartily.
"Well said."
"With this mindset, you'll surely become great in the future."
Then, Venerable Hong looked at Zhou Yu with a look of appreciation and said:
"You, kid, are very much to my liking."
"Alright, during this time in the Pill God Temple, you don't need to worry about safety. I'll take full responsibility."
"Tomorrow is the main event of the exchange conference; let's see how you perform."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
...
Meanwhile.
In a dense forest outside the entrance of the Pill God Temple.
Han Mofeng and the other two were here recovering from their injuries.
Each of these three were the heads of their respective powers, needless to say about their status.
The various top-grade Healing Pills they carried were of the highest quality.
After two days of recovery, their injuries had almost healed.
However, their joint ambush of Zhou Yu had ended in another failure, leaving them profoundly despondent.
Especially since someone of the Venerable level from the Pill God Temple had come to protect Zhou Yu.
What chance do they have now?
Zhu Yuanming said with a sullen face:
"Zhou Yu, this boy, has now become a major threat. Trying to eliminate him now is very difficult."
Beside him, Ao Jiuzhou also looked grim.
Though he didn't want to admit it, the facts seemed undeniable.
Ao Jiuzhou said with a solemn face:
"Afraid that... there's no chance anymore."
Seeing these two say such pessimistic words, Han Mofeng immediately said angrily:
"You both are supposed to be seasoned veterans, and top figures in Hu City, yet you're saying things like this."
"If word got out, your families would lose all face."
Upon hearing this, Ao Jiuzhou and Zhu Yuanming simultaneously raised their heads and glared at Han Mofeng.
"Han Mofeng, what right do you have to say sarcastic things?"
"We've failed; did you win?"
Han Mofeng snorted coldly.
"Gentlemen, I'm not interested in meaningless arguments with you."
"Now is not the time for pessimistic talk. You've all seen Zhou Yu's growth speed, which is far faster than we imagined."
"Previously, you also heard what that kid said."
"Though I don't want to admit it, that kid is truly a once-in-a-century prodigy."
"I estimate that if we don't deal with him this time, when he leaves the Pill God Temple and returns to Hu City, it will be doomsday for us all."
They were all old pros; Han Mofeng's words were something Zhu Yuanming and Ao Jiuzhou understood.
But now, they couldn't think of a way to deal with Zhou Yu.
Ao Jiuzhou said with a solemn face:
"Han Mofeng, everyone knows the big picture; no need for you to elaborate."
"Just tell us what we should do now?"
"Are you suggesting that we three storm the Pill God Temple again?"
Zhu Yuanming sneered:
"That's suicide."
"I can guarantee, next time, encountering Venerable Hong, he won't hold back."
Han Mofeng squinted his eyes and said:
"Although Venerable Hong is formidable, if we find a way to stall him for a moment, it will be enough."
"As long as we can stall Venerable Hong, the three of us together, attacking with all our might, I'm confident we can instantly kill that kid."
"Stall Venerable Hong?"
Both Zhu Yuanming and Ao Jiuzhou frowned.
"Han Mofeng, have you gone mad?"
"Venerable Hong's strength is terrifying; who can distract him?"
"Moreover, who would risk offending the Pill God Temple to help us against Venerable Hong?"
"Isn't what you're saying nonsense?"
However, Han Mofeng shook his head.
He sneered:
"I know someone who will surely agree."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanming and Ao Jiuzhou were taken aback.
"Who?"
"The people of Yin Ming Sect!" Han Mofeng said slowly.
"Remember the news I told you about before we came?"
"Yin Ming Sect also sent experts to the Pill God Temple."
"Now with Zhou Yu protected by Venerable Hong, the Yin Ming Sect experts likely haven't had the chance to act."
"But if we join forces, we can create an excellent opportunity."
"Even the Pill God Temple wouldn't expect it."
Upon hearing this, Ao Jiuzhou and Zhu Yuanming's eyes flickered with contemplation.
Indeed, according to Han Mofeng's plan, the success rate was quite high.
However...
Ao Jiuzhou and Zhu Yuanming exchanged glances; Ao Jiuzhou spoke:
"How can we contact the people from the Yin Ming Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Han Mofeng's face revealed a deep smile.
"No need to contact them."
"This senior is already here; am I right?"
Han Mofeng raised his voice suddenly with the last sentence, and looked around.
Ao Jiuzhou and Zhu Yuanming were startled and also looked around.
At this moment, a chilling laugh echoed.
"Interesting, when did you discover me, old man?"
