low-key is king

Chapter 1301 Complex Human Nature

"Damn, his target is not me!"

Tie Wang, who had completed the five realms, felt a sense of strength all over his body. He wanted to use his own strength to delay the time for one or two breaths.

If it succeeds, then both Master Lu Yuan and his own father should be able to arrive in time to save his two brothers, and they won't have to become Wu Zhen's hostages.

But what Tie Wang didn't expect was that the head of the Wu family would be so cautious in his actions, and with a dignified six-level cultivation base, he would actually avoid him, a junior of the Tie family who had completed five levels.

Previously, Tie Wang made a quick decision to protect his younger brother Tie Dun, who had just entered the fifth realm, behind him. This was also a subconscious instinct, and perhaps it was also the Tie family's family rule.

But I don't know if Wu Zhen had such a plan long ago, and he never thought about going head-to-head with Tie Wang, so he suddenly bypassed him, and pinched the throat of Tie Shield, who had just entered the fifth level, with one move.

"Haha, a bunch of ants!"

After finally holding the iron shield in his hand, Wu Zhen's face was full of complacency, and after he laughed a few times, he turned his attention directly to Tie Cheng, the head of the Tie family, who was rushing over there.

"Tiecheng, if you take one more step, your little son will be gone!"

Wu Zhen's sullen voice followed, and while speaking, he exerted a little force with his right index finger, and impressively pinched a bloodstain on Iron Shield's neck.

Tie Cheng, the head of the Tie family, stopped his actions in response. He could not be as ruthless as Wu Zhen, and he also valued his son very much.

Especially the youngest son, he is not as strict as Tie Wang in his usual teaching.

Now, suddenly, the good situation was reversed instantly, and the iron shield fell into Wu Zhen's hands. It seemed that the initiative would fall into the Wu family's hands again.

Tiecheng subconsciously glanced at the boy in black over there, but he didn't mean to blame him.

Perhaps in his heart, this strong man named Lu Yuan may be able to kill the first-time sixth-level opponent at his limit.

Moreover, Wu Zhen's calculations and body skills were extremely fast just now, even he, the head of the Tie family who was chasing Wu Zhen, couldn't react, let alone Lu Yuan who was farther away?
For all of this, Tiecheng felt that he had been tricked by the other party, and now he only wanted to save his son's life, even if he had to let Wu Zhen go for this, he would not hesitate.

"Wu Zhen, let go of Dun'er, and I will spare the lives of everyone in your Wu clan!"

Tie Cheng, who stopped in his tracks, turned his eyes away from Lu Yuan. He didn't even wait for Wu Zhen to propose a condition, and he gave his hole card first, making Lu Xun over there shake his head again and again.

In Lu Xun's opinion, even if Wu Zhen has a hostage in his hands, there is no need to express your opinion so hastily. Wouldn't that let the other party know how important the hostage is to you?

Under such circumstances, Wu Zhen, who is holding hostages, will naturally feel more confident. It seems that the Patriarch of the Tie family really values ​​his precious son.

But at such a time, Lu Xun didn't say much, he still wanted to see the development of the situation.

Anyway, with his strength, even if Wu Zhen was a hostage, he would have no chance of killing anyone.

"Hey, it really is the deep love between father and son!"

As Lu Xun expected, Wu Zhen, who originally only wanted to find a way out, could not help but sneer after hearing Tie Cheng's anxious words, and had some more thoughts in his mind.

"I want Wu to spare Tie Dun's life, first hand over your mustard bracelet!"

A hint of greed flashed in Wu Zhen's eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth made the members of the Tie family frowned. You must know that it was the savings of the Tie family for many years.

"Give you!"

However, Tiecheng didn't hesitate at all. In his heart, money is just a foreign object, so how could it be more important than the life of his precious son?

So he directly peeled off the mustard bracelet and threw it towards Wu Zhen.

"Not bad!"

Wu Zhen, who took the mustard bracelet, sensed the wealth in the mustard bracelet, and nodded in satisfaction, but he was a little dissatisfied with the status quo when the other party was so obedient.

"Wu Zhen, why don't you let him go?"

Tie Chengcheng is kind and kind, completely unaware of his successive compromises, which made the other party's mentality change again and again, he heard him sternly shouted, and he felt that it was meaningless to do anything until he saw his son escaped danger.

"Hehe, people will definitely be let go, but..."

Wu Zhen was good at first, but the next moment he changed the subject. He raised his other arm, pointed at a young man in black, and shouted sharply: "Kill that Lu Yuan, and I will spare your son's life!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the field, and the brows of many members of the Tie family frowned even tighter. At the same time, they turned their eyes to the patriarch Tie Cheng, with extremely complicated eyes.

These members of the Tie family clearly knew how much their patriarch loved their two sons, so now that Tie Dun's life was threatened, would they agree to Wu Zhen's request?
Strictly speaking, Lu Yuan is the savior of the Tie family. The lives of all the Tie family members were saved because of this person's arrival. They will burn incense and worship sooner or later.

But from another perspective, Lu Yuan can only be regarded as an outsider compared to his precious son Tie Dun.

It's hard to say whether Tiecheng will choose to avenge kindness for his son.

"Father, don't..."

And at this moment, a slightly weak voice suddenly came out, it was the iron shield that was pinched by Wu Zhen's throat, and his tone was even a little anxious.

It's just that just after Tie Dun uttered a few words, Wu Zhen pinched the words back into his belly with his fingers. It seemed that Wu Zhen didn't want any more surprises.

Anyway, the hostages are under my control, and the current Iron Shield, in Wu Zhen's view, is a bargaining chip that can be used to negotiate any conditions, at least for Tie Cheng, the head of the Tie family.

However, Wu Zhen seemed to have forgotten that Tie Dun was a precious son to Tie Cheng, but an outsider to that guy named Lu Yuan.

The hostage in his hands affects only one Tie Cheng, at most other Tie family members.

However, the successive deaths of his second brother and son made Wu Zhen full of resentment. The former wise head of the Wu family no longer existed, and he just wanted to seize the last chance.

If Tie Cheng could really kill that Lu Yuan, then things might not turn around, and then he could make a fuss over the hostages, but Tie Cheng didn't dare to act rashly.

This was Wu Zhen's overall plan. Just now, Lu Yuan didn't save Tie Dun in time, so Wu Zhen guessed that the other party's limit should be at the sixth level, otherwise how could he succeed?
It would be best for Tie Cheng and Lu Yuandou to suffer and even perish together. That would be a happy event for the Wu family.

At this moment, Wu Zhen was already thinking about how to deal with these Tie family members after the matter was completed.

"Tiecheng, don't do it yet, don't you want your precious son's life?"

Seeing that Tie Cheng was still hesitating there, Wu Zhen couldn't help but sneered, and then moved his fingers, and the iron shield in his hand coughed, his face flushed red.

"Tie Cheng, think about it carefully. This is your dearest son. Lu Yuan is just an outsider. For an outsider, do you really want to sacrifice your precious son's life?"

Wu Zhen was like a Gu master at this time, bewitching Tie Cheng's mind, making his body tremble slightly, obviously in an extreme tangle.

At this time, Lu Xun didn't say anything or do anything, he really wanted to see what choice the iron family head would make in the end?

On one side is his own son, on the other side is Lu Yuan, who can only be regarded as an outsider even though he saved the Tie family. Under such a situation, it is the most testing of people's hearts.

Lu Xun was quite satisfied with Tiecheng's performance before, but how could he easily trust an outsider after a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation?
The real test has only just begun.

In terms of insight into people's hearts, no one in the field can compare with Lu Xun, and once Tie Cheng makes a wrong decision, his attitude towards the Tie family may change today.

In a sense, even if Tie Cheng really listened to Wu Zhen's words and acted, it wouldn't be a mistake.

What in this world is more important than blood relationship?

But from Lu Xun's point of view, if his strength is lower, if he really only entered the sixth realm and was finally killed by Tiecheng, it would be a disaster for no reason.

Almost everyone on both sides was waiting for Tiecheng to make a decision. At this time, the members of the Tie family did not speak, and even Tiewen did not speak out to persuade them.

They put themselves in their shoes and thought about what they should do if they were in an iron position and their precious son's life was threatened.

"Sorry, I can't promise you!"

Just when everyone in the Tie family was also struggling, the head of the Tie family suddenly uttered such a sentence, causing the entire Tie family's ancestral house to fall silent.

The members of the two big families all felt that they had auditory hallucinations. Did Tie Cheng, the head of the Tie family, really care about his precious son's life?

But for some reason, the members of the Tie family, headed by Tie Wen, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the decision made by Tie Cheng.

Perhaps there is a trace of worry in their hearts.

That is, if Tie Cheng agreed to Wu Zhen's request, then the head of the Tie family would not be the original head of the Tie family.

The reason why Tie Cheng is loved by all the members of the Tie family is because he acts fairly and justly, is kind and righteous, and treats every member of the Tie family equally.

But if one day in the future, when Tie Wang and Tie Dun are threatened by others again and need to exchange the lives of other Tie family members, what kind of situation will it be like?

Some things didn't happen to me, maybe I can deal with them calmly, but once it involves me, I may not be able to calm down, this is human nature.

Now that Tiecheng made such a decision, it was the head of the Tie family they knew and understood.

Although this might put Tie Dun in fatal danger, the entire Tie family is not just Tie Dun alone.
