"Liu Yuxin, do you think these blood mists are the Liu family's secret method for killing and refining their divine abilities?" Wan Lei asked without turning his head.
"Yes, wasn't there such a secret method in the Narcissus Secret Realm last time? It allowed the enemy's soldiers to improve their combat power by several notches. The Liu family definitely has such a secret method. What do you think these blood mists are for?"
"If the people within the Liu family don't know, how would I know? The Liu family and the demon race have been too quiet lately. I suspect they are brewing some conspiracy, and these monstrous blood mists are the best proof. I came here precisely to investigate this matter."
"Oh, I thought you were here to save me." Liu Yuxin pouted, looking displeased.
"It's just for gathering intelligence. It's all for the sake of Wan Liuchuan, and for the sake of our past battles fought side-by-side. That's why I'm willing to come to this dragon's den and tiger's lair in disguise. If Liu Naiweng and Qiong Ku saw me appearing in the Liu family, they would probably be overjoyed."
"I also didn't expect that the Liu family would actually collude with the demon race, cooperate with them so openly, and invade our Lei Feng Realm. In the past, I quite liked this family. They had elders, relatives, and companions. But now, being here, I feel disgusted every day. The air here is all polluted. I dream of escaping and then returning with you all to kill all these Liu family scoundrels!" As Liu Yuxin said this, she paused and added, "My parents are still good people."
At this moment, Liu Luhang walked over and clasped his hands, saying, "Alliance Leader, Holy Son, this humble one needs to leave for a while. The higher-ups have given an order again, asking me to escort three Liu family prisoners to the forbidden area."
"Oh, go ahead," Wan Liuchuan nodded, but Wan Lei stopped him. "Come back, don't go yet."
"Does the Alliance Leader have something to discuss?" Liu Luhang looked at Wan Lei cautiously.
"I think this is an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
"Yes, an opportunity to get close to that forbidden area. If you escort Liu Yuxin there, and we all follow, we can openly approach the forbidden area."
"No, that's too dangerous. What we need to do now is to leave the Liu family quickly and avoid any further complications." Wan Liuchuan immediately stood up, blocking Liu Yuxin, and glared at Wan Lei, looking protective.
"But if we miss such a good opportunity, I fear I will regret it for life. This is the only chance to get close to that forbidden area. Only by investigating what the Liu family is doing can we make corresponding arrangements. Otherwise, we'll be in the dark, waiting for the Liu family's conspiracy to succeed and have our heads chopped off?"
Liu Yuxin pushed Wan Liuchuan aside and said seriously, "I'm not afraid of danger. As long as the conspiracy can be thwarted, I don't mind sacrificing myself. However, I heard from Liu Luhang that he can only escort people to the vicinity of the forbidden area, but not inside. If we don't go in, we still won't discover anything."
"Hmm, let me think about it again..." Wan Lei stroked his chin, then suddenly looked up. "Liu Yuxin, I remember your father is a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, right? He has a certain status in the Liu family and is a direct descendant. He should have the authority to enter that forbidden area."
"Uh... that's true, but my father wouldn't tell me the secret."
"You don't need him to tell you. Listen, I have a plan. We'll escort you to the forbidden area. You send a message to your parents saying you're being escorted to the forbidden area. At that time, they will definitely come forward to stop us. Liu Luhang can be a bit tougher, saying that you must be escorted inside. Then, your father will surely take you to plead with the ancestor. At that time, we can blend in and follow."
"Let my parents get involved too? But..." Liu Yuxin frowned. If she had to sacrifice herself, she could do it without hesitation, but if she had to involve her parents, she hesitated.
"Liu Yuxin, let me ask you, do your parents lean towards the Liu family's side, colluding with the demon race and acting as lackeys, or are they willing to resist the demon race and contribute to the stability of the Lei Feng Realm?"
"My parents... I heard my father say that he is also very dissatisfied with the Liu family's collusion with the demon race. I wanted to take the opportunity to win him over, but he is loyal to the Liu family. Even if he is unwilling to collude with the demon race, he is unwilling to betray the Liu family."
"That's it. You also don't want to see your parents become lackeys of the demon race, do you? The Lei Feng Realm is our Lei Feng Realm, the realm of the people of the Lei Feng Realm, not theirs, the demon race's. The only way now is to take your parents out with us and bring them to the Lei Di Hall. Once we get there, you can persuade them. By then, the fait accompli will be unavoidable, and they won't have to struggle with whether to pledge loyalty to the Liu family colluding with the demon race, or to resist the demon race and betray the Liu family. By doing this, you are also doing it for their own good."
"Is that so... Alright then."
"We'll have your parents escort us into that forbidden area, and after investigating the Liu family's and the demon race's conspiracy, I'll use the Fate Control Diagram to collect all of you. Without your burden, I can escape the Liu family alone, as no one here can stop me, and I will return to the Lei Di Hall."
"Do you have confidence?"
"Of course there are risks. Such a big matter, how can it be foolproof? But it's still worth a gamble. Don't forget, if you die, the Anti-Demon Alliance won't suffer much. If I die, the loss will be immense. The newly established Lei Di Hall and Lei Di Alliance will collapse. I am so important, yet I am not afraid. What are you afraid of?" Wan Lei's words were a bit unreasonable, bordering on sophistry. After all, everyone only has one life, and to oneself, one's own life is the most valuable. However, in order to investigate the Liu family's conspiracy, this was the only way.
"Alright then, for the great cause of the Lei Feng Realm, and to prevent my parents from being implicated when the Liu family is destroyed, let's take the gamble."
"Okay, you send a message to your parents now, and we'll set off immediately." Wan Lei stood up, and the four of them walked out.
Leaving the pavilion, Liu Luhang casually picked two cultivators at the Core Formation stage from the Liu family. Escorted by Wan Lei and Wan Liuchuan, they left the prison. When they reached the signing room, Wan Lei called Lu Zheng and the other over. This made the two flattered, as they did not expect to be entrusted with such an important task shortly after arriving. They were extremely honored and followed closely.
Thus, a warden and four jailers, escorting three prisoners, rapidly flew towards the forbidden area. Along the way, they encountered many Liu family members. These people were all surprised to see Liu Yuxin, their eyes showing pity.
Soon, everyone flew to the outside of the Liu family's forbidden area. "We are under orders to escort prisoners into the forbidden area. We request that you open the formation and let us in," Liu Luhang said, clasping his hands to the guards. Suddenly, a shout came from afar, "Stop, you cannot enter!"
