#1812 - Let me think about it!

Inside the Demon God Palace.

Under Ji Dongfeng's gaze, a figure slowly emerged from the turbid giant tree. This person was none other than Ling Ming, who had not appeared for a long time.

"Ling Ming, you old fogey, is this giant tree your true form in the Third Heaven?" Ji Dongfeng sneered.

Ling Ming chuckled upon hearing this, and said, "Ji Dongfeng, sometimes your madness is truly annoying, but I have to admit, you are an anomaly in this world, and an extremely troublesome one."

"Why did you come out? This ritual cannot be stopped. Let me handle this Ji Dongfeng," Wu Yuntian said coldly.

Ling Ming said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "You can no longer deal with him. To be precise, although your strength is far above his, if you really attack him, you will not be able to protect yourself."

Wu Yuntian was stunned upon hearing this, then frowned slightly and said, "What are you talking about? I am a follower of the Lord of Time Law, a law enforcer. How could I not be able to protect myself?"

"What if I told you he is a disciple of the Heavenly Dao?" Ling Ming said.

Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Did Lord Wu tell you?"

Wu Yuntian's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this, and he stood rooted to the spot, unable to believe his ears.

"What did you say?! A disciple of the Heavenly Dao?! How is that possible! The Heavenly Dao cannot accept disciples! Even if it did! Only a being like me would be qualified! What does Ji Dongfeng have to rely on!" Wu Yuntian roared, while the surrounding demon cultivators and turbid beings were even more shocked.

"Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao can even accept disciples?!"

"Doesn't that make this Ji Dongfeng invincible?! If this is true, who would dare to provoke him in the future!"

"I was wondering why this kid was so bold. So it turns out he has something to rely on and came here to show off!"

Listening to the exclamations of the crowd, Ji Dongfeng smiled and said, "Just because this King of Pretenders can act on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. I just said that I am the father of Lord Hong and Lord Wu, and you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now? With my seniority, I am either your grandpa or your father. Choose for yourselves."

Wu Yuntian gritted his teeth upon hearing this and said, "If that's the case, why set up this ritual..."

In the next moment, before Wu Yuntian could finish speaking, Ling Ming said first, "Indeed, Lord Wu told me about it. However, Ji Dongfeng, in addition to telling me about your identity, Lord Wu also gave me some methods, some methods specifically designed to target you. Believe me, once these methods are used, even the identity of the Son of the Heavenly Dao will not be able to protect you."

Ji Dongfeng smiled upon hearing this and said, "Like this ritual you are preparing now?"

Ling Ming did not answer this question directly, but continued, "Ji Dongfeng, I am making a deal on behalf of Lord Wu. From now on, the turbid beings will not attack you, nor will they attack any living beings of the Underworld Hong Tree. To be precise, in the upcoming Honglin Battlefield, Lord Hong will naturally not attack the Underworld Hong Tree, and Lord Wu will not attack either. This means that in this war, the Underworld Hong Tree will be in an absolutely safe position."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "What's the price?"

"There is no price. Just don't help Lord Hong. I think this should not be difficult for you. After all, Lord Hong is not exactly your friend now," Ling Ming smiled.

"Of course, if you are willing to stand on Lord Wu's side, Lord Wu will be very happy. At that time, we will become friends. We are not as hypocritical as Lord Hong's side. We will sacrifice the interests of all other living beings to help you improve your strength with all our might. We are just that genuine."

Ji Dongfeng curled his lip upon hearing this and said, "Even if it means sacrificing your interests?"

"That's right. Whether it's my divided spirit or my true form, as long as it can help you grow up as soon as possible, any sacrifice is no problem. Of course, the premise is that you completely stand on Lord Wu's side," Ling Ming said.

Ji Dongfeng smiled upon hearing this and said, "How about this? You first commit suicide to show your sincerity. If you are unwilling to die, you can let this Wu Yuntian die for a bit."

Ling Ming chuckled upon hearing this and was not annoyed, as if he had expected Ji Dongfeng to say this.

"Just as Lord Wu predicted, you will no longer stand on anyone's side. Ji Dongfeng, you can leave now. As long as you don't make things difficult for the turbid beings in the future, the turbid beings will not make things difficult for you either. Of course, the other living beings in the Third Heaven are still our targets for annihilation. I can tell you that once this ritual behind me is completed, none of the living beings in the Underworld Hong Tree will survive. This is the first gift that Lord Wu will give to Lord Hong after the battlefield descends," Ling Ming smiled.

"Don't even think about stopping it. Unless the Heavenly Dao and Lord Hong's true forms descend, no one can stop this ritual, not even you, the disciple of the Heavenly Dao. Of course, just like I said just now, as long as you say a word, as long as you guarantee that you will no longer target the turbid beings for Lord Wu, this ritual will stop immediately."

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the turbid giant tree trembled violently a couple of times, as if to respond to Ling Ming's words. The cocoons on the tree slowly peeled open a little. Ji Dongfeng took a closer look and found that the inside of the cocoons were pairs of blood-red eyes. After obtaining the identity of the Heavenly Dao disciple, Ji Dongfeng's perception ability had been greatly improved. Just by looking at these eyes, Ji Dongfeng could sense that this thing could indeed cause a fatal blow to the Third Heaven.

"This is my transmission token. It can only last for 72 hours, and it will also take 72 hours for this ritual to be completed. Before that, you can transmit a message to me at any time, and I will stop the ritual accordingly. But once this time is exceeded, even if you use other methods to transmit a message to me, this ritual will not be able to stop," Ling Ming said.

"Remember, what Lord Wu wants is not for you to stand on his side. What Lord Wu wants is just for you not to help Lord Hong and not to attack Lord Wu in the upcoming war, together with the living beings of the Underworld Hong Tree, and be a spectator. I think this is not a difficult thing."

Ji Dongfeng took the token upon hearing this, looked at the giant tree not far away, and said, "Let me think about it."

Ling Ming's heart stirred upon hearing this and said, "I didn't expect that you would actually think. You..."

In the next moment, just as Ling Ming, Wu Yuntian, and others were a little relaxed, Ji Dongfeng's figure flickered, instantly took off all his equipment, and then quickly crashed towards the turbid giant tree.

"Hahahahaha! Think your grandpa! Does this King of Pretenders look like someone who would think!"
