Chapter 129 A Test of Courage and Wisdom
"Love? How to use it?" Lin Wan'er frowned and asked in confusion. Although Su Mubai didn't say anything, he also cast a questioning look.
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiao Yifeng's current state has a lot to do with his feelings for me. He was once seriously injured in order to protect me, and then he was bewitched by evil forces, which is why he has become the half-human, half-ghost appearance he is now."
"You mean, he still has feelings for you deep in his heart?" Xiao Yichen keenly captured the key information in Chu Mengmeng's words.
"That's right." Chu Mengmeng nodded. "I could feel that when he attacked me, there was a hint of struggle and hesitation in his eyes. It's just that the evil power has controlled his mind and he can't control himself."
"So you want to use this to get close to him?" Xiao Yichen immediately understood Chu Mengmeng's thoughts.
"That's right." Chu Mengmeng's eyes flashed with determination, "I plan to pretend to be defeated by him, and then take the opportunity to get close to him and find a chance to attack."
"This is too dangerous!" Su Mubai objected without thinking, "What if he sees through your plan? You are no match for him with your current strength!"
"I know this is risky," Chu Mengmeng said firmly, "but I have no choice. If we don't take the initiative and wait until the full moon night, we really won't have a chance!"
Looking at Chu Mengmeng's determined eyes, everyone understood that she had made up her mind.
"In that case, let's make a detailed plan." Xiao Yichen knew that it was useless to dissuade him at this time, so he could only choose to support Chu Mengmeng's decision.
Everyone sat together and began to carefully discuss every detail of the plan. They decided that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen would go to Xiao Yifeng's lair together, while Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er would secretly meet them and be ready to provide support at any time.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen also specially rehearsed how to pretend to be defeated by Xiao Yifeng. They repeatedly practiced every move and every look, striving to make it perfect.
Everything is ready, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen embark on a dangerous journey to Xiao Yifeng's lair.
They advanced cautiously all the way and finally arrived at Xiao Yifeng's lair - a gloomy and terrifying abandoned castle.
As planned, Chu Mengmeng deliberately slowed down her pace, pretending to be exhausted. Xiao Yichen followed closely behind her, his eyes full of worry.
"Mengmeng, how are you?" Xiao Yichen asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"I... I'm fine..." Chu Mengmeng was panting, her face pale, and she looked like she would faint at any time.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and blocked their way.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!"
The person who came was Xiao Yifeng. He was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his cold voice made people shudder.
"Xiao Yifeng, don't you even recognize me?" Chu Mengmeng raised her head and said in surprise.
Xiao Yifeng was slightly stunned, and seemed a little confused. He slowly took off his black cloak, revealing a pale and ferocious face.
"Mengmeng?" Xiao Yifeng's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief, but it was soon replaced by anger. "Why are you here? Who sent you here?"
"I came here on my own initiative." A sly light flashed in Chu Mengmeng's eyes. "I heard that you were here, so I came to see you."
"Look at me?" Xiao Yifeng sneered, "Do you think I will believe your lies? Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Chu Mengmeng bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
"Yifeng, how did you become like this?" Chu Mengmeng choked up and said, "Have you really forgotten the good memories we once had?"
Xiao Yifeng's body trembled, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, as if trying his best to control his emotions.
"Shut up! Stop talking!" Xiao Yifeng suddenly roared, "Those memories mean nothing to me! I just want to destroy everything now!"
"Yifeng..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something else but was rudely interrupted by Xiao Yifeng.
"That's enough! Stop pretending!" Xiao Yifeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, Xiao Yifeng swung out his palm fiercely, and the powerful spiritual power turned into a black beam of light, attacking Chu Mengmeng.
"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen shouted and flew in front of Chu Mengmeng. He swung his sword to meet the black light column. With a loud bang, the two forces collided in the air, stirring up a gust of wind.
Xiao Yichen was knocked back a few steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed and hurriedly supported Xiao Yichen.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yichen shook his head, signaling Chu Mengmeng not to worry. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched the sword in his hand again, and looked at Xiao Yifeng with a firm gaze.
"It seems that you guys are not willing to accept my toast!" Xiao Yifeng laughed in anger, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, Xiao Yifeng launched another attack, and a big battle was about to break out.
In order to make the performance more realistic, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen fought and retreated, deliberately showing signs of defeat.
"You are no match for me!" Xiao Yifeng laughed triumphantly, "Just surrender!"
"Don't even think about it!" Chu Mengmeng shouted, and suddenly turned around and ran into the castle.
"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen was shocked and quickly chased after her.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Xiao Yifeng sneered and followed closely behind.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen ran all the way and finally arrived at the depths of the castle.
"It's right here!" Chu Mengmeng suddenly stopped and pointed to a closed door in front of her, "Xiao Yifeng is inside!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yichen nodded, took a deep breath, raised his sword and slashed towards the door.
With a loud bang, the door was split in half, and Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen entered one after another.
However, what awaits them is a carefully laid trap...
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Xiao Yifeng sneered, and a black figure chased Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen like a ghost.
The interior of the castle was dark and damp, the walls were covered with moss, and the air was filled with the smell of decay. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen deliberately stumbled, pretending to be exhausted, and led Xiao Yifeng to the depths of the castle.
"Mengmeng, how are you?" Xiao Yichen asked in a low voice, holding Chu Mengmeng worriedly, signaling her with his eyes not to reveal any flaws.
Chu Mengmeng was pale, panting, and shook her head weakly: "I... I can still hold on..."
Seeing the two people's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yifeng still had doubts in his heart, but when he thought of Chu Mengmeng's pitiful eyes, the doubts in his heart were gradually replaced by pride.
"Humph, you're scared now? It's too late!" Xiao Yifeng stopped and looked down at the two of them. "Tell me, what is your purpose? If you are willing to obey me, I can consider sparing your lives."
"Yifeng, we really have no ill intentions..." Chu Mengmeng bit her lip, tears flashing in her eyes, "I just... I just want to come and see you, to remind you of our past..."
"That's enough!" Xiao Yifeng interrupted her angrily, his tone full of disgust, "Don't mention the past! Those memories are like garbage to me!"
"Yifeng..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Xiao Yichen.
"Xiao Yifeng, have you really been completely swallowed by the darkness?" Xiao Yichen looked straight at him, his eyes full of disappointment, "Have you forgotten the oath you once made to protect this city?"
Xiao Yifeng's body trembled violently, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.
“Shut up! You hypocritical guys don’t understand my pain at all!” He roared, his voice full of anger and despair, “I will make all of you pay for what you have done!”
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned to walk towards a black door deep in the castle.
"Follow me." Xiao Yifeng said coldly, pushed open the door and walked in.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.
"It seems we succeeded." Xiao Yichen said in a low voice.
"Well, we have to be more careful next time." Chu Mengmeng nodded, her eyes full of vigilance, "Xiao Yifeng's condition is very unstable, we must act with caution."
The two walked into the door carefully and found a spacious hall inside. In the middle of the hall, there was a huge black crystal ball, which emitted a strange light, as if summoning something.
Xiao Yifeng stood in front of the crystal ball with his back to the two of them, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
"What do you want to know?" Xiao Yifeng's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the abyss of hell.
"I want to know why you did this?" Chu Mengmeng asked, her voice full of sadness, "Why did you betray us and this city?"
Xiao Yifeng was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, his eyes filled with pain and hatred.
"Because... I want the whole world to submit to me!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen exchanged glances, and both saw shock and solemnity in each other's eyes. Xiao Yifeng's ambition to rule the world was far beyond their expectations.
"You're crazy!" Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but say, "Do you think you can control that kind of power? It will only devour you and turn you into a monster!"
Xiao Yifeng burst into laughter, his laughter full of madness and despair: "Monster? I am already a monster! It is you, and this world, that made me what I am now!"
He ignored the two and began to chant an ancient spell. The black crystal ball shone brightly, shrouding the entire hall in a strange light. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen realized that Xiao Yifeng was performing some dangerous ritual.
"We must stop him!" Xiao Yichen whispered, tightening the weapon in his hand.
However, they could not act rashly. Xiao Yifeng's strength was unfathomable. If they alerted him, the consequences would be disastrous. They had to wait for the right moment and find an opportunity to kill him with one strike.
In the next few days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen obeyed Xiao Yifeng's orders on the surface, but secretly looked for his weaknesses and ways to destroy the ritual. They found that Xiao Yifeng was trying to open a passage to another world, trying to summon the dark power from another world for his own use.
By chance, Chu Mengmeng discovered an ancient book that recorded the secrets of the other world and the dark power. According to the book, Xiao Yifeng's plan is not unstoppable. As long as the black crystal ball in his hand can be destroyed, the connection between him and the other world can be cut off, and the ritual can be stopped.
Having found a breakthrough, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt hopeful. They began to secretly plan to destroy the black crystal ball when Xiao Yifeng was performing the final step of the ritual.
However, just as they were about to act, Xiao Yifeng suddenly became extremely alert. He seemed to have noticed something, and glanced at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen with a cold smile on his face.
"Do you think I really believe you?" His voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt depressed, knowing that their plan had been exposed. A new crisis was about to break out...
Xiao Yifeng's words were like a stone thrown into the calm water, stirring up thousands of waves. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's heartbeats suddenly accelerated. They knew that the secret that had been hidden for a long time could not be hidden from this meticulous enemy.
"What are you talking about, Brother Yifeng?" Chu Mengmeng blinked in confusion, trying to get away with it with her usual innocence.
However, Xiao Yifeng ignored her disguise. He approached step by step, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. "From the beginning, I felt that something was wrong with you. Your obedience to me and your understanding of my plan were too deliberate. It was as if you were acting for me."
"We are just worried about you..." Xiao Yichen tried to explain, but his words were interrupted by Xiao Yifeng's cold laughter.
"Worried about me? You're worried about me?" Xiao Yifeng seemed to have heard a huge joke. "You just want to stop me, stop me from gaining power, stop me from changing the world!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and the black light gathered in his palm, forming an energy ball, and a strong sense of oppression came over him. Seeing this, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er immediately stood in front of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, confronting Xiao Yifeng.
"Do you think you can stop me?" Xiao Yifeng laughed arrogantly, and the energy ball in his hand shone even brighter.
"Even if we try our best, we will stop you!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other with a firm gaze. They knew that this was the final battle, and they had to go all out to stop Xiao Yifeng's ambition to destroy the world.
A war is about to break out...
