My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 329 - 188: Bloodleaf—Is It Him? (Part 3)

Lord Zhou didn’t speak this time.

"You were also lucky, even though Evergreen Commerce Association’s fragrant tea was stolen by disciples of Wanzai Peak, they didn’t drink it because if they did now it’d easily expose them. They planned to secretly drink it after the celebration ended; otherwise, your plan would have been revealed long ago."

"Third Senior Brother, am I right?" Li Hengsheng sat up, staring fiercely at Lord Zhou.

"Heh heh."

Lord Zhou suddenly chuckled, then leaned against the stone behind him, gazing at the sky without saying a word for a long time.

"Xiaosi."

Lord Zhou spoke.

"To be honest, I can’t bear to kill you. If you hadn’t exposed me today, I would have let you return to Cyan Rain Mountain. When you went back and found out the next day that I’ve gone, then our connection would be severed."

"But why did you have to reveal it?" Lord Zhou sighed softly.

"I just wanted to know one answer. Third Senior Brother, why did you do it?" Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but shout angrily, "What did Longevity Sect give you to betray the sect, even betray the entire Human Race? What on earth for?"

"What did it give me?" Lord Zhou sighed softly, "If I must say what Longevity Sect gave me, it was probably hope."

"Hope?"

Li Hengsheng looked at Lord Zhou in astonishment, seemingly waiting for an explanation of what hope meant.

"I want Xiaosi to come back to life," Lord Zhou said leisurely, "bringing Xiaosi back to life is my hope."

"Are you crazy?" Li Hengsheng exclaimed in shock, "The person has been dead for so many years already, how could they come back to life? No one in this world has ever heard of someone being able to bring the dead back to life."

"Not hearing of it just proves your ignorance, perhaps?"

"Cangyuan Realm is vast, methods to resurrect the dead exist!" Lord Zhou suddenly turned cold and stern, "Longevity Sect can achieve this, because you have no idea what’s behind Longevity Sect nor how powerful it truly is!"

"One day, when Longevity Sect’s plan succeeds, Xiaosi will certainly come back to life!" Lord Zhou spoke with utmost conviction.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng found Lord Zhou quite unreasonable.

"And you," Lord Zhou stared hard at Li Hengsheng, "You’re one of the keys; as long as you’re killed and your soul captured, it would form one of the keys, fulfilling Longevity Sect’s order to kill you without exposing myself."

"Then you let me go?" Li Hengsheng frowned, "Just now you were asking me to return to Cyan Rain Mountain. If I leave, doesn’t that mean your plan fails? Once the sect leader returns tomorrow, you’ll have nowhere to hide!"

Saying this, a soft streak blended into the sternness in Lord Zhou’s gaze.

"You’re too much like Xiaosi."

Lord Zhou gently shook his head.

"I can’t help but want to protect you. Even in those assassination attempts, I didn’t genuinely strike but gave you a sliver of hope."

"I told myself, if you died, it was just fate. But if after three attempts you still lived, I’d give up on killing you; perhaps Longevity Sect will send others, but I won’t personally execute you."

Lord Zhou casually picked up a wine bottle nearby, shook it slightly; there was still some wine left. He tilted his head back, gulping it, chuckled self-mockingly, "Talking about Xiaosi with you tonight made me feel like I don’t want to kill you, I should let you return to Cyan Rain Mountain."

"You saw through my identity." Lord Zhou showed an appreciative look, "I truly didn’t expect it. Xiaosi, you’re very smart."

"But since you’ve uncovered my identity..." Lord Zhou looked around and laughed, "You surely didn’t come here alone, did you?"

"Old Third, how did my Spirit Chicken taste?"

A sweet voice echoed, and from the darkness, an agile figure glided in, taking the shape of a little girl. Her eyes were full of killing intent.

Her aura completely unrestrainedly crushed forward!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Even the flames in the fire pit began to rustle in the presence of Yang Tiantian’s aura, seemingly about to be extinguished any moment.

"Second Senior Sister," seeing Yang Tiantian, Lord Zhou chuckled, "Didn’t expect it’d be you to send me off today."

"You’re not qualified to call me Second Senior Sister." Yang Tiantian’s gaze was cold and proud, her fist crackling as if ready to explode Lord Zhou any time.

"Indeed." Lord Zhou shrugged.

"What is Longevity Sect’s real goal?" Yang Tiantian interrogated, "You’d better tell me honestly. I’ll make your death quick later, otherwise if I hand you over to Law Enforcement Peak, they won’t be as forgiving as I am."

"Well, then I’ll tell you." Lord Zhou shifted to a comfortable position against the stone, casually drank from the wine bottle again, "Longevity Sect aims to resurrect their ancestor."

"Who is the ancestor?" Yang Tiantian pressed on.

"I don’t know," Lord Zhou answered helplessly, "I’m relatively low-ranked in Longevity Sect, and I’ve only ever heard a rumor that Longevity Sect’s ancestor was an immortal."

"A true immortal, not just an earthly god."

"A real immortal?"

Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian both showed surprise.

"Where in this world is there an immortal?" Yang Tiantian scoffed coldly, "Were you brainwashed by those people of Longevity Sect?"

"Perhaps." Lord Zhou didn’t bother to argue further.

"I want to know, what does it mean that I am a key?" Li Hengsheng remained curious about this; why was he a key?

"Apparently to resurrect the ancestor, you have to find where the ancestor is sealed, and there you need many keys to open the door. Among them, you Li Hengsheng are one such key, and also the Vice Sect Leader is one key. How exactly these keys are determined, I can’t say." Lord Zhou looked at Li Hengsheng, "But here’s my personal theory."

"Xiaosi, your comprehension ability is extraordinary, I’ve seldom seen anyone with such strong comprehension like you. I think that’s likely why you were chosen as a key."

This surprised Li Hengsheng; was he a key because of his extraordinary comprehension?

Indeed, his comprehension was quite remarkable. So far, whenever encountering any artwork, he could comprehend the martial arts within after just one attempt.

That indeed wasn’t something ordinary people could do.

"Where’s Longevity Sect now?" Yang Tiantian continued to ask.

"I really don’t know." Lord Zhou shook his head, "Since the incident in Heaven-Flipping Ghost City, Longevity Sect changed locations. I don’t know. I’ve recently been in touch with them just because of this mission."

"Poisoning at the Dao Mountain Ancient Land festival to kill the guests, causing disputes in Dao Mountain Ancient Land—this is Longevity Sect’s mission this time. I don’t know anything else." Lord Zhou said calmly.

"Someone has to issue you tasks, right?" Yang Tiantian frowned and said.

"Naturally." Lord Zhou now looked at the two of them, then said, "You may be under a misconception."

"Blood Leaf isn’t just one person," Lord Zhou said with a smile.

"What!"

Yang Tiantian and Li Hengsheng were both shocked; Blood Leaf wasn’t just one person.

"It’s two," Lord Zhou nodded.

"Who is the other one?" Yang Tiantian hurriedly asked.

"I can tell." Lord Zhou glanced at Li Hengsheng and said, "But I only plan to tell Xiaosi."

"You’re asking for a beating!" Yang Tiantian immediately launched a punch into Lord Zhou’s abdomen.

Thud!

Blood spewed directly from Lord Zhou’s mouth.

This punch, Yang Tiantian did not hold back at all.

"Who would’ve thought, Second Senior Sister showed genuine mercy when she beat me before." Lord Zhou now smiled.

"Enough of your nonsense," Yang Tiantian lifted her chin, glaring at Lord Zhou, "If you don’t speak, I’ll really kill you today."

"I said, I’m only telling Xiaosi. If you don’t want to, wait till the sect leader returns to tell you, although can’t promise if that person will still be around by then." Even though Yang Tiantian punched him, Lord Zhou didn’t mind at all.

He then looked at Li Hengsheng.

"Senior Sister, let me talk to him," Li Hengsheng said to Yang Tiantian.

"Fine," Yang Tiantian frowned and backed away a few steps. Li Hengsheng stepped up, saw the blood at the corner of Lord Zhou’s lips, took a deep breath, then leaned in and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing Li Hengsheng move his ear closer, Lord Zhou also leaned forward slightly, whispering a name into Li Hengsheng’s ear.

As soon as this name was mentioned, Li Hengsheng also showed a look of shock.
