Chapter 2609: Luo Fu

Sister Houtu naturally understood Sister Xuanming's meaning; she choked on her words, her face flushing slightly, then she tugged at Sister Houtu's hand and walked away directly—but they could not leave Bombarding Lingshan.

Why had they even encountered this situation? It was a mystery to both of them.

Only after the two had left did Yun Zhongzi turn to Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng, why did you let them go? Capture those two, and the Wu clan can never enter Bombarding Lingshan again—and we could do as we please within Bombarding Lingshan!"

Yun Zhongzi's thoughts were sweet indeed, but Kunpeng knew they were backed by Luo Fu; if he seized Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming, Luo Fu would appear instantly and obliterate him.

Kunpeng said: "No matter who in the Wu clan you anger in the future, never touch these two."

"What do you mean?"

"These two are Luo Fu's disciples. Luo Fu the Sage has taken only these two disciples—do you think Luo Fu the Sage will do nothing?"

"That's all?"

Yun Zhongzi looked at Kunpeng with disdain; he thought Kunpeng was making a mountain out of a molehill—even if Luo Fu the Sage had taken Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming as disciples, he wouldn't care about every little thing.

"You still don't understand the power of Luo Fu the Sage."

"Should I?"

"If you truly don't, then our cooperation is pointless—since you've never seen Luo Fu the Sage's might with your own eyes, you have no fear."

Yun Zhongzi recalled again how Kunpeng had once been imprisoned by the Yao clan—could the rumors truly be about Luo Fu?

Yet Yun Zhongzi did not ask outright; he knew asking would yield no answer and only make Kunpeng despise him, so he fell silent.

"Let's go over there first."

"If the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree is truly here, as Ancestor Minghe said, perhaps we can find it."

"Agreed!"

As long as they didn't encounter anyone from the Wu clan, Kunpeng didn't care what happened—even if they met Yao clan members, he still had room to maneuver, but encountering the Wu clan was unacceptable.

Yun Zhongzi dismissed this entirely; he never once thought they were a couple.

Even if they had been willing to act before, it wouldn't have been now to retrieve the item.

"The last time Ancestor Minghe said that, it may have differed from what we know—so Ancestor Minghe might be deceiving us. We must stay alert!"

"Why would Ancestor Minghe deceive us?"

"In the Honghuang, there are countless people chasing profit—do you think Ancestor Minghe is helping us for no reason? Is it just to pass the time?"

Hearing Kunpeng's words, Yun Zhongzi finally nodded, taking them to heart.

Yet he kept thinking about Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming—if possible, he also wanted to capture them.

Only by capturing Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming could they possibly make the Wu clan listen to them.

"If we miss this perfect opportunity, we'll never find another one like it—so Kunpeng, won't you act?"

"So you've always thought this way? Our ideals clearly differ greatly, Yun Zhongzi—if you insist on this, then we part ways!"

Kunpeng said: "You saved me once; I owe you one favor. Should you ever need me for anything in the future, I will come."

"But not now!"

Seeing Kunpeng's resolute gaze, Yun Zhongzi knew he had met an immovable wall.
