"Teacher, we are back!"
"Master Hongku, we have been down the mountain for several months and now we have returned safely. It has been such a long time. How are you?"
…
No matter how Wuchao and Zhang Xuezhou shouted, there was no response from Hongku's black stone residence, let alone letting them enter.
This was the biggest difficulty Wuchao had in mind during previous assassinations. It was difficult for them to get close to Hongku, and it was even less possible for them to let a group of people get close to Hongku.
If you break in forcefully, you will not only encounter Hong Ku's arrangements in the house, but also make the sneak attack useless.
Without sneak attacks, it would be a joke to defeat the top.
Standing in front of the gate of Black Stone Residence, Wu Chao frowned slightly.
He wiped off the sweat on his palms without leaving a trace, and glanced at Zhang Xuezhou.
"Since Master Hongku is not here, let's come back tomorrow!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked back.
He also wiped the slight sweat from his palms.
All the previous plans had to be canceled because Hong Ku didn't open the door. This made Zhang Xuezhou breath a sigh of relief and felt that there was no need to fight today.
"Ugin come in!"
When he and Wu Chao were about to leave, they heard a faint cry from the Black Stone Residence, and Hong Ku's voice came faintly.
"Master Hongku?"
"Just push the door open and walk in. You came back in time. Venerable Lei is here as a guest today and I'm going to give you a test on "Yunzhongshu"!"
Zhang Xuezhou was slightly surprised, and Hong Ku responded, telling the story clearly.
"Senior brother, I'm going!"
Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
He looked at Wuchao and listened to Blackstone Residence.
In the residence, Hongku didn't respond, obviously he didn't want to see Wuchao.
"Hurry up and see Lord Lei!"
Seeing the various inquiries in Zhang Xuezhou's eyes, Wu Chao thought over and over again, but did not dare to have the courage to follow Zhang Xuezhou in.
Firstly, Hongku did not call his name, and the restrictions placed in the residence may not allow him to pass. Secondly, Venerable Lei came, and it was impossible for him to assassinate Hongku under the eyes of Venerable Lei.
After thinking again and again, Wuchao had no choice but to reach out and signal to let Zhang Xuezhou enter Hongku's location first.
The door opened in response to Zhang Xuezhou's push, and then closed automatically as Zhang Xuezhou entered.
Wu Chao looked at the door. He stared at it for a few seconds before leaving with heavy steps.
"There are at least 17 or 18 kinds of protection methods in his courtyard, which may have derived from small-scale formations!"
Only after being a hundred meters away did Jinchang communicate in a low voice.
Even just a quick glance of Zhang Xuezhou pushing the door open was enough to give Jinchang too much information.
"You must lure Hong Ku out!"
Jinchang frowned.
They prepared eighteen different kinds of insidious things for Hong Ku, but these gadgets were no different from Guan Gong in front of the tricks carefully arranged by a great magician.
This contrast turns the advantages into obvious disadvantages.
If the assassination of Hongku not only prevents Hongku's own counterattack, but also resists the opponent's angry backhand, Jinchang feels that the 30% winning rate will plummet, and it will be difficult to please him even if he is hiding behind the scenes.
"We can't even see him, how can we lure him out?" Wu Chao said with a headache.
"You must find a way," Jinchang reminded: "Everyone has desires, and he is no exception. You need to understand his desires and then use his desires..."
Jinchang whispered.
His current desire is to integrate the techniques of the Yin Yang family and achieve the glory of the Yin Yang Patriarch.
If not bound by desire, why would Jinchang bother to wade into such muddy waters.
Jinchang believes that no one can have no desires and demands. As long as they exist in this world, the other party must have a reason to live and have corresponding demands.
The assassination plan they faced was extremely simple, so simple that it was impossible to guard against it, but Wu Chao and others did not do enough preparation work, and Hong Ku, who was also a spell master, did a good job in his profession. In addition to hiding himself, he added layer upon layer of protective measures. It was so safe that Jinchang shook his head when he saw it.
It is almost impossible to assassinate such a person on his home court and survive safely.
"desire!"
Wu Chao frowned.
He suddenly realized that he did not understand Hongku, the teacher.
He only knew that the lives of the students under Hong Ku's sect were poor, and then he clearly sensed Hong Ku's curse, and Wu Chao had the idea of killing his master.
Many of Hong Ku's students died, and Wu Chao didn't think Hong Ku's curse was to protect him.
But Wuchao had no idea what kind of spell Hongku used or why he cast it.
He has been thinking about how to save his life these days. How can he find out why Hong Ku does what he does, let alone understand Hong Ku's desire.
But Jinchang's guidance forced Wuchao to put down his previous thoughts.
Jinchang judged that his assassination would fail, and Wuchao had to look for other possibilities.
For example, the desire for suffering.
He must exploit the weaknesses in the other person's humanity.
Thanks to the huge resources of the royal family, Wu Chao gives small gifts to many mages from time to time, which makes Wu Chao's network extremely broad.
If he wanted to find out about Hongku's desires, it would obviously be okay to ask Master Hongyi and others.
Wuchao responded to Jinchang's request.
After sending Jinchang back to the cave, he walked out with a solemn expression.
"One has good mentality but poor qualifications, and the other has good qualifications and poor mentality. What on earth did Hao Bugui and I choose? Are we really going to be at odds with each other for the rest of our lives?"
The conditions for Jinchang's evaluation are very harsh.
The person who can make someone praise his cultivation qualifications is obviously not bad in his evaluation. Jinchang must admit that Wuchao's qualifications are indeed excellent.
But what comes with it is Wuchao's mentality.
From a normal perspective, Wuchao's mentality was already excellent, but he couldn't bear the comparison.
Just like the comparison between Zhang Xuezhou and Wu Chao, Zhang Xuezhou, who has relatively normal qualifications, got a bad review.
When it was Wu Chao and Zhang Xuezhou's turn to compare their mentality, Wu Chao obviously dissatisfied Jinchang.
But Jinchang is fortunate that it is difficult to improve his spiritual qualifications, and his mentality will continue to adjust over time.
In terms of choosing the successor of the Yin Yang family, he was ultimately better than Cu Bugui.
But the sharp contrast between Zhang Xuezhou and Wu Chao also made Jinchang think about it constantly, thinking about his own disputes and disputes.
"Logically speaking, Senior Brother Zhao has lost the battle between Yin and Yang, but why would he rather die than hand over the inheritance of Yin Yang Jiutian Sect to me?"
It was difficult for Jinchang to understand his unwillingness to return.
His cultivation has gone beyond the limits of Cuo Bugui, and he should become the most orthodox successor of the Yin Yang family.
If Hao Bugui cooperates well, he will take the Jiutian Sect inheritance and leave, and he will not torture the other party at all.
"In the end, it's still your problem!"
Jinchang did not think that his method of torturing Cuo Bugui was cruel. The reason for all this was just that Cuo Bugui was unwilling to admit defeat.
"Like they do?"
Jinchang looked towards the direction Wuchao left, and then towards the location of Hongku.
It was difficult for him to understand why Chu Bugui never gave up, and it was also difficult for him to understand why Hong Ku persisted in killing students.
In this difficult-to-understand situation, only one party who completely controls the other party can stop the conflict, and it is difficult to mediate in other ways.
