Chapter 1825: Trapped in a cocoon
The three of them traveled together and arrived at Long Mo's water palace.
Long Mo's water mansion is quite luxurious, containing all kinds of rare and precious materials, as well as many divine weapons stored inside. The water mansion is protected by a powerful array.
Ye Ning couldn't help but exclaim, "What a powerful formation! If it were activated, it could probably kill two or three peak Great Saints."
Upon hearing Ye Ning's words, Fei Peng felt a chill run down his spine, but Ye Ning showed no sign of nervousness on his face.
Long Mo smiled and said, "I didn't intentionally create such a powerful formation. It's just that people in the cultivation world can't be without guarding against malicious people. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know if I was ambushed one day. For my own safety, I have to do this."
Hearing Long Mo's words, Ye Ning nodded and said, "Indeed, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others. I have always deeply agreed with this saying."
Long Mo and Ye Ning exchanged a glance, feeling smug. He thought Ye Ning completely believed him.
Fei Peng then said, "Fellow Daoist Long Mo, we've been here for so long, aren't you going to prepare a banquet? Are you just going to keep talking to us like this?"
Long Mo smiled.
"It's all my fault. I was so happy to see you two that I forgot to prepare a feast. Please wait a moment while I have the servants prepare it."
Long Mo's gaze fell on the children.
"Quickly prepare a banquet to entertain our two distinguished guests."
The boys quickly got to work and set up a feast, with the three of them seated as host and guest.
Then Long Mo raised his glass to toast the two of them. Fei Peng stared at his own glass and suddenly said, "I feel like there's something wrong with this wine?"
Long Mo was startled, but remained calm and said with a smile, "Of course it's not right. This is a rare and excellent wine, said to be able to make even immortals drunk. I would not bring it out for ordinary guests."
Seeing Long Mo's distressed expression, Fei Peng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."
After saying that, Fei Peng drank it all in one gulp, and Ye Ning did the same.
Seeing this, Long Mo smiled even more broadly, and then he raised his glass to toast the two of them again. Amidst the clinking of glasses, the three of them chatted and laughed, and time passed little by little.
Long Mo suddenly asked, "Are you two feeling a little unwell?"
Fei Peng's expression changed slightly, and he stared at Long Mo coldly, saying, "What did you do to us?"
Long Mo laughed loudly: "You've finally fallen for my trick! I lured you here and then gave you the Immortal's Intoxication. I don't believe you two have any strength left to resist."
At this point, Long Mo looked at Ye Ning with disdain.
"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to believe me just because I said something casually, and even want to join forces with me to deal with Fei Peng. It's ridiculous! You have no idea that my goal has always been to deal with you."
As soon as Long Mo spoke, Ye Ning stared at him, her expression slightly cold.
"How can you be sure that Fei Peng and I didn't plan this together to deal with you?"
Long Mo was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned disdainful.
"Although Fei Peng is somewhat clever, he is impatient and easily exposed. If he knows that I am plotting against him, he will definitely come to my aid instead of playing along. You can't fool me."
Ye Ning smiled.
"Feipeng is indeed straightforward, but that doesn't mean I won't scheme against you. You made a pact with Feipeng to take down me, and Feipeng has already told me that we came here on purpose so that you would suffer the consequences."
Long Mo's expression changed slightly, then he laughed again.
"But you've both drunk the Immortal's Intoxication, and your combined strength is probably less than one-tenth of what it used to be. With less than a tenth of your strength, do you really think you can take me down?"
Long Mo looked disdainful, but he was still quite cautious, controlling the formation in an attempt to suppress the two of them.
At that moment, Long Mo's expression suddenly changed, because he realized that he could no longer control the formation. There was a hidden force controlling the formation, making it impossible for him to activate it.
His gaze fell sharply on Ye Ning, and he said coldly, "It was you who did this!"
Ye Ning smiled.
"In terms of formations, my skill far surpasses yours. Not long after I entered, I had already taken control of your formations. Unfortunately, you were unaware of it and thought victory was assured."
After saying that, Ye Ning stood up, his body brimming with divine power, showing no signs of being poisoned.
At this moment, Fei Peng also stood up, releasing all his energy, showing no signs of being poisoned.
Seeing this, Long Mo gasped.
He finally realized that he had schemed against Ye Ning and the others, but in the end, he had been schemed against by them.
These two had clearly planned it out; neither of them drank the "Immortal's Intoxication," but rather cleverly deceived themselves.
Thinking of this, Long Mo couldn't help but grit his teeth, staring fiercely at the two of them with an angry expression.
"You actually dared to scheme against me! You're utterly shameless!"
Ye Ning and Fei Peng almost burst out laughing at him. This guy had schemed against them, but now he was accusing them of scheming against him. It was utterly ridiculous.
If Long Mo hadn't harbored malicious intentions, how could things have turned out this way?
Now, the two of them looked at Long Mo with icy eyes, filled with a terrifying killing intent.
Long Mo was sweating profusely. He knew things were going badly. He might not even be a match for Ye Yi alone, let alone Fei Peng.
Now that the two of them have joined forces, I'm afraid I simply can't beat them.
Thinking of this, Long Mo's gaze fell on Fei Peng, and he said in a deep voice, "Fei Peng, we are both powerful figures in the Buddhist Land. You can't help outsiders to deal with me, can you? You and I will join forces, and we will kill him together and seize the fortune on his body."
Fei Peng sneered, his expression disdainful.
"You trash are a disgrace to the Buddhist land! You just tried to kill me, and now you're saying you want to join forces with me to deal with Fellow Daoist Ye. It's laughable. Even if I agree, who knows what you'll do to me after we take down Fellow Daoist Ye? You'll probably use every means to kill me."
Fei Peng's face was cold. Did Long Mo really think he was a complete fool who believed everything he said?
Compared to Long Mo, Ye Yi is more reliable.
"I'm just straightforward, not stupid. Do you think I can't tell what kind of person you are? I was the one who warned Ye Ning to be careful of you and not to have any contact with you, lest he be tricked. I know your character better than anyone else, so how could I possibly fall for it?"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Long Mo's forehead. He felt immense pressure; facing two powerful figures, Long Mo had no chance of winning.
He gritted his teeth and brought out his powerful backer.
“I have connections with the powerful members of the Azure Dragon Clan, and I have already agreed to join the Azure Dragon Clan. If you kill me, it will be tantamount to offending the Imperial Clan, and the powerful members of the Azure Dragon Clan will not let you off.”
Hearing Long Mo's words, Ye Ning's eyes showed a hint of amusement.
"The Azure Dragon Clan? That's perfect. I happen to have some grudges with the Azure Dragon Clan. I'll kill you today and collect some interest."
