Chapter XII

Rumble... A blazing thunderbolt flashed, and the ghost soldiers in front of them immediately disappeared, taking advantage of the panic of the group of ghosts, Tianzang and Ruri forcibly broke through the encirclement and fled outside.

By the time they had escaped from the valley, the two had broken through the enemy's encirclement six times. But these ghost soldiers are like endless, and it always doesn't take long for them to stop in front of them again, and after a few battles, Tianzang and Liuli are like the end of a poor crossbow, and it is difficult to have the strength to fight again.

In this way, they chased and fled, and before they knew it, they were forced under a cliff, and there was no road ahead. At this time, hundreds of ghost soldiers silently appeared from the shadows behind the two of them, completely blocking the retreat.

It was impossible to turn back, Tianzang looked up at the cliff in front of him, which was dozens of meters high, and gritted his teeth and said, "Go up!" "On weekdays, the two of them would not take this level of mountain wall in their eyes at all, but now they have a sense of depression that is powerless.

However, before they could make any moves, a large number of ghost soldiers suddenly appeared from the top of the cliff, looking at the two of them condescendingly. Following the group of ghosts separated, Zhang Lie walked out.

Realizing that there was no hope of escape, Tenzo sighed and gave up all efforts. As a member of the special operations team, Liuli has exercised extremely tenacious psychological quality in the life of long-term battles in various places, and even in such a desperate situation, his eyes are still burning with indomitable fighting spirit.

Silently glanced at Zhang Lie on the cliff, and Liuli suddenly said: "Father, I'm here to attract them, you can find a chance to escape." ”

Tianzang looked at Liuli in surprise, then shook his head and said, "It's useless, we have exhausted our demon power, and we don't have the strength to rush out at all." ”

Liuli said fiercely: "I will never be reconciled, even if I want to die, I will not let go of Zhang Lie, a despicable villain!" ”

Infected by Liuli's fighting spirit, Tianzang nodded and said, "Okay, we have to die anyway, then let them see the last dignity of our fox demon clan." ”

The two were about to make a desperate move, when Zhang Lie on the cliff suddenly said, "Why is the patriarch in a hurry to die? I have a sentence, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it? ”

After a pause, Tianzang said coldly: "If it is for us to surrender to you, then it is better to avoid opening our mouths." ”

Zhang Lie smiled and shook his head: "The patriarch misunderstood, no matter how arrogant I Zhang Lie is, I don't dare to expect to accept you as a subordinate, even if you are willing, I will not rest assured." Now that the situation is clear, the fox demon clan is all in Yan Hui's hands, even if you return to the clan, you will only be hunted down and killed. ”

There was deep hatred in Tenzo's eyes: "Is that what you want to say?" ”

Zhang Lie waved his hand again and again: "Don't misunderstand, patriarch, I just don't want you to die in vain." ”

Liuli said sarcastically: "Then I really want to thank you for your kindness." ”

Zhang Lie accepted this sentence without shame: "You're welcome." Now that I'm done, you two can go. ”

I didn't expect him to say that, Tianzang and Liuli were stunned. After looking at Zhang Lie for a moment to make sure he wasn't joking, Tianzang couldn't help but say, "You want to let us go?" ”

Zhang Lie spread his hands: "Yes, does the patriarch think I'm joking?" ”

Looking at each other, Tianzang and Liuli were puzzled, no matter what, Zhang Lie had no reason to let them go. Ruri said angrily: "What do you mean? If you want to kill, hurry up and do it, you don't have to play these tricks! ”

Sighing a little helplessly, Zhang Lie made a gesture to the ghost soldiers behind the two, and those ghost soldiers immediately retreated to both sides without saying a word, and at the same time, the ghost soldiers around him also disappeared from the cliff.

Zhang Lie said sincerely: "Now you should believe my words." Liuli, you and the patriarch can leave with confidence, as long as you don't go back to the fox demon clan to die, and live up to my kindness. ”

"Good intentions?" Liuli laughed angrily: "Today I have thoroughly felt your kindness." ”

At this moment, Tianzang suddenly laughed wildly without warning: "What a Zhang Lie! What a Zhang Lie! I thought that Yan Hui's wisdom was on par with you, but now it seems that he is still too much inferior to you. ”

Zhang Lie smiled indifferently: "The patriarch is too famous." ”

"Father, what are you...?" Liuli looked at Tianzo who was laughing wildly in confusion.

Waving his hand to Liuli to wait a while, Tianzang stopped smiling and arched his hand to Zhang Lie: "Since you have this self-confidence, I, Tianzang, will accept your 'kindness'." What is today will be rewarded in the future. ”

Zhang Lie also smiled and arched his hand: "Okay, patriarch, please go slowly." ”

Pulling the bewildered Ruri, Tenzo turned around and strode away, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

"Brother Zhang Lie, why did you let them go?" At this time, Xiaoyu appeared from the shadow behind Zhang Lie, hugged his neck and asked strangely.

Zhang Lie slapped her cheek with his backhand: "What, do you really want me to kill them?" ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but shake her head: "I don't want Sister Liuli to die like this." But you've been planning for tonight for so long, why did you let them go at the last minute? ”

Zhang Lie smiled: "If you understand, you will understand, and if you don't understand... The future will always understand. ”

"Hmm..." Obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Lie's answer, Xiao Yu puffed out her cheeks angrily, but looking at the blank look on her face, she was obviously the kind of person she didn't understand.

*********************************************************************

At the same time, Ruri, who was miles away, was asking the same question to Tenzo.

"You really don't know why he did that?" Tenzo asked rhetorically.

Liuli snorted: "Zhang Lie is despicable and shameless, where can I guess what his idea is." ”

Tianzang couldn't help but sigh: "Liuli, your demon power may be more than Zhang Lie's, but your wisdom is too far behind." No, looking at the demons in the world, I'm afraid there are few who can keep up with his head. ”

Liuli was unconvinced: "He's just a little cunning, what's there to boast about?" ”

Tianzang shook his head again and again: "If you only rely on your own bravery, you will never be able to achieve great things." Think about it, it's only been two years since the battle of the Vatican, and Zhang Lie has jumped from an ordinary monster to the master of the alliance. If you can't understand that, you'll never try to beat him. ”

Touched, Liuli put away her contempt and thought seriously for the first time. Looking at his changes with satisfaction, Tianzang said again: "Now do you want to know the intention of Zhang Lie's move?" ”

Liuli nodded seriously: "Please teach my father." ”

Tianzang touched her hair lovingly: "My fox demon clan is the most potential race in the demon clan, although my vitality is greatly damaged these days, as long as there is a chance to recuperate, it can become a terrifying force in a short period of time." And this, naturally, is what others don't want to see, so Zhan Meng will attack us several times, because even he is afraid of the day when we regain our strength. ”

Liuli said puzzledly: "What does this have to do with Zhang Lie letting us go?" ”

Tianzang said patiently: "Think about it, although we have a great threat, if we can hold the fox demon clan in our hands, it is a terrifying force. That's why Zhang Lie assisted Yan Hui in his rebellion, because he knew that I would never surrender to him, so it was necessary to support a patriarch who could cooperate. ”

Liuli suddenly realized: "So that's the case." Then he shouldn't let us go, so that Yan Hui will be more grateful to him, isn't it more conducive to cooperation? ”

Tianzang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Liuli, you are still too inexperienced after all. Think about it, although Zhang Lie wants to use the power of the fox demon clan, he is also afraid of its strength, and with Yan Hui's person, he will definitely not obediently surrender to Zhang Lie's feet in the future. Then it is necessary to put an insurance policy before this kind of thing happens. ”

"Insurance?" Liuli suddenly came to his senses: "You say we are Zhang Lie's insurance?" ”

Tianzang said with a look of admiration: "I have to admit that Zhang Lie's hand is really beautiful." As long as you and I are still alive, Yan Hui will not be able to completely unify the fox demon clan, because there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. And because he was afraid that we would seize power again, Yan Hui had to lean towards Zhang Lie, so as not only to avoid the fox demon clan being too powerful, but also to firmly control Yan Hui in his hands, killing two birds with one stone, he Zhang Lie could sit back and relax. ”

Liuli finally understood, she almost subconsciously snorted coldly, and just wanted to express her disdain for Zhang Lie's meanness, but suddenly remembered what Tianzang had just said, and the person fell silent again.

Tianzo looked at Ruri with satisfaction, knowing that her efforts had not been in vain, she finally got rid of her arrogance and was willing to face up to the advantages of her opponent. Liuli is actually very smart, but she has always been a lady of the sky, and she never disdains anyone. However, once Ruri knows how to use her mind, with her qualities, she will become an extremely formidable enemy, which is exactly what Tenzo is starting to cultivate now.

"Where are we going now?" Ruri asked.

Tianzang smiled proudly: "Find a safe place to hide first, and when the time is right, contact the people who are still loyal to me, and slowly disintegrate Yan Hui." Ruri, you remember, sometimes patience is also a strategy. ”

"Wait, Zhang Lie. No matter what purpose you let me and Ruri go, I will make you understand that this is definitely a fatal mistake! At the same time, he silently swore in his heart.

"Yes, I see." Ruri nodded earnestly, taking Tianzo's words to heart.

In the fox demon clan, Yan Hui looked at Zhang Lie with regret on his face, and only felt extremely depressed.

Following Zhang Lie's advice, he led the crowd to rush to help Yiye stabilize the restless clansmen. At the same time, the news that Qu Li rebelled, and Tianzang led people to quell the rebellion, and the result was that Qu Li died together.

The entire fox demon clan was in an uproar, although most of the fox demons didn't believe this kind of nonsense, and they were quite suspicious of the origin of this Yan Hui who suddenly appeared. But Yan Hui led a large number of fox soldiers, and with the support of those powerful figures of the fox demon clan that Yiye and Qu Li had bought before, they could only keep their doubts in their hearts.

Everything went smoothly according to Yan Hui's plan, just waiting for Zhang Lie to bring back Tianzang and Liuli's heads and completely remove his worries, he could grasp the entire fox demon clan in his hands with peace of mind.

But at this time, Zhang Zhi told him that he accidentally let Tianzang and Liuli run away!

Looking at Zhang Lie, who couldn't stop apologizing, Yan Hui was anxious and hateful, and he really had the urge to strangle him for a while. But he kept telling himself to be calm, and at present, he still has a lot of places to borrow from Zhang Lie, and he must not turn his face.

In fact, Yan Hui suspected that Zhang Lie deliberately let the two go, but for a while he couldn't figure out why Zhang Lie did this, and there was no evidence, so he could only suppress this idea in his heart.

"It's okay, now that I have basically pacified the fox demon clan, even if they escape, the two of them won't be able to make any big waves, Brother Zhang Lie doesn't have to blame himself too much." When he said this, Yan Hui's heart was dripping blood. Of course he knew what the consequences would be if he let go of Tenzo and Ruri, what was okay? It's a big deal!

Since Yan Hui knew each other like this, Zhang Lie also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Brother Yan Hui, don't worry, I will definitely pay close attention to the movements of the two of them, and immediately catch them back and hand them over to you as soon as I have the opportunity." ”

Yan Hui couldn't cry or laugh at this time, and he had to thank Zhang Lie against his will: "Thank you Brother Zhang Lie for your kindness." ”

There was no need to go on here, Zhang Lie quickly brought the topic back to business: "How long will it take for you to get the entire fox demon clan to obey you?" ”

Yan Hui thought for a while and said, "It will take at least two months, although I have the support of Yiye and many powerful people, but I don't have any qualifications after all, and it will take some time to convince the clansmen to accept me." ”

Zhang Lie thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, it's just two months." In two months, I will use the power of the fox demon clan, and I hope you will not disappoint me at that time. ”

Yan Hui smiled confidently: "After two months, you will naturally get what you want." ”

Zhang Lie said again: "I have to leave, before leaving, I will leave a thousand ghost soldiers outside, if you have any trouble, you can borrow them at any time." In addition, you have to be careful to destroy Meng, this time his plan to join the fox demon clan was destroyed, and he will definitely not give up. ”

Yan Hui said that he knew: "I will be wary of him, Brother Zhang Lie can leave with confidence." ”

After another admonition, Zhang Lie said goodbye. Outside, from time to time, you can see a team of fox soldiers running by, all the fox demons are forcibly left at home, and there is a tense and vigilant atmosphere everywhere.

With this chaos, the fox demon clan has not wanted to recover for more than ten years, and with the two threats of Tianzang and Liuli, Yan Hui doesn't want to play any tricks. Looking at the masterpiece he created with satisfaction, Zhang Lie couldn't help but stretch proudly.

At this moment, there was a fierce wind behind him, and Miasma appeared quietly in the wind, kneeling on the ground respectfully: "Miasma has seen the master, what is the master's command?" ”

"You continue to stay here to spy on Yan Hui, and report to me as soon as he makes any changes. There are a thousand ghost soldiers outside the clan, which you can call on if necessary. Zhang Lie said lightly without replying.

Burying his head deep means that he knows, and the miasma disappears silently without saying a word.

"Whew, Animon, what are you doing now?" Looking up at the dark night sky without stars and moons, Zhang Lie naturally said to himself...
