Chapter 2920: Zhu Yan, I Believe You!

Although this matter seemed straightforward to them, everything now appeared far from simple.

Even Zhu Yan had started!

Luo Fu and Zhu Yan made their wager precisely because of this—Zhu Yan had no idea why they refused to believe the Summoning Banner was at Duanqing Cliff, perhaps simply because they'd never heard of it?

"What I said is all true!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go see for yourselves—I know where Duanqing Cliff is!"

Zhu Yan spoke with such certainty that Teng She began to doubt— if Zhu Yan was telling the truth, then what they were doing now might align exactly with what they'd originally thought.

But after only a moment's hesitation, Zhu Yan sensed that something was amiss.

"So you really don't believe me?"

"But this is what the Luo Fu Saint said—if you don't believe it, you might miss out on so much, miss the chance for us to escape Zhenyao Mountain."

Teng She suddenly reeled as if struck.

Could Zhu Yan be telling the truth?

"How did you contact the Luo Fu Saint, Zhu Yan? Tell me the truth—if you lie, how can I possibly help you? And you must find a way!"

"I've already told the truth!"

Nearby, Ying Long and Jin Wu also found it hard to believe—why couldn't they contact the Luo Fu Saint, yet only Zhu Yan could?

Both sides felt something was wrong.

If anyone could escape, it could only be Zhu Yan.

Luo Fu now places great trust in Zhu Yan, wagers with him, and tells him the Summoning Banner is at Duanqing Cliff—subtle changes have already emerged among the Ten Great Beasts, and their unity is no longer solid.

Zhu Yan's face grew grim. "If you do this now, you'll surely bring trouble—I've told you, but you refuse to believe the Luo Fu Saint isn't someone to be trifled with!"

"But…"

For this reason, what they needed to understand was nearly identical to what they currently saw—every location must have these choices.

Those they could reach were certainly reachable—this was precisely why they asked now.

Considering the Luo Fu Saint could appear at any moment, they began to form ideas.

"Actually…"

"I believe you!"

Taotie was the first to speak.

He knew well that Zhu Yan had never gone mad from cultivation—had Zhu Yan truly lost control, Taotie himself would have sensed it; he'd merely felt weak at first and failed to detect it.

But now Zhu Yan laid out the facts clearly—if they found the Summoning Banner, they could summon the demonic clans and have the Demon Emperor himself break the chains binding Zhenyao Mountain.

It would only cost the Demon Emperor nearly half his cultivation base!

But with the Summoning Banner, the Demon Emperor could rally ten thousand demons—such an opportunity was rare.

The Summoning Banner had been missing for nearly a thousand years; the demonic clans had searched endlessly, and even the Witch Clan sought it. Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun refused to let it fall into the Witch Clan's hands.

Better it fall into anyone else's hands than the Witch Clan's—into their grasp, it would become a weapon to control them.

"Do you truly believe?"

Zhu Yan was delighted, but he had questions—he could only ask Taotie: what was his real thought? If he truly believed, why had he doubted at first?

Taotie nodded. "My body had just recovered, so my perception was weak earlier—but now I can sense you haven't gone mad from cultivation."

"Then your story is eight-tenths true!" said Taotie.
