My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"I'm really sorry, please give me a little more time, and I'll definitely get the gift you want," Zhuge Guangling said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Hao, standing beside him, said, "To be honest, your strength is far inferior to Tong Xin's. As for your claim of being a traitor, that's completely unfounded. When you were captured, you already revealed all your hatred for your cousin. The intense emotions displayed by a madman like you aroused their vigilance long ago, and they would definitely have secretly set up defensive measures. To put it bluntly, it's all because you went too far before that you alerted them."

Zhang Hao is currently working as a covert spy, and he absolutely cannot let them suspect him. So he seizes every opportunity to find excuses to shift the focus of the conflict.

Sure enough, their expressions changed after hearing this. Tong Xin looked at Zhuge Guangling with even more contempt, while Zhuge Guangling looked furious and embarrassed.

Finally, Tong Xin gave him another three days, saying that if he couldn't repay the favor within three days, he would have to demand an even greater reward.

Although he didn't know what reward Tong Xin wanted, a bad feeling told Zhuge Guangling that he had to repay this favor, or he would probably be in mortal danger.

After saying this to Tong Xin, Zhang Hao left. Before leaving, Zhang Hao's ambiguous smile drifted into Zhuge Guangling's ears.

"You're saying you really have a way to kill that person? And then you can immediately become the strongest in the new faction?"

This question was simply too tempting. Upon hearing it, Zhuge Guangling couldn't resist following along.

He transformed into a cloud of black mist, which gradually faded, turning into a wisp of air that silently floated behind the two of them.

Zhang Hao glanced back casually out of the corner of his eye.

The air is really nice today.

The two chatted as they floated along.

"You're right, I do have a way to deal with that guy. As long as I eat him, I can become the strongest in the new faction, a god in both the underworld and the mortal realm, and then I can stop this hunting-style way of getting stronger. Then you can be free too, and you won't have to accompany me on hunts anymore. How about it, aren't you looking forward to it?" Tong Xin clapped his hands with a grin, as if he was just asking casually.

Zhang Hao shrugged dismissively.

Judging from his expression, Zhang Hao clearly didn't believe him.

"The person you're talking about is recognized as the strongest in your circle, though that 'strongest' isn't quite at the level of a god. How could you possibly have dealt with such a powerful figure so easily?"

Zhuge Guangling, who was following behind, listened intently, not daring to miss a single word.

The strongest? Eating this will make you the strongest? I never expected to stumble upon such useful information.

However, if this news is true, should I try to strike first?

But striking first doesn't seem like a good idea. The other party has already said that he is the strongest, and if it really comes down to a fight, I'm not sure I can beat him.

But Tongxin acted as if he was confident he could take down the other party, probably because he knew the other party's weakness.

If you can find out the weakness of the strongest one, then even you can hunt down the strongest one now!
His ambition was involuntarily stirred by the conversation between the two people in front of him.

The opportunity to become the strongest must not be missed.

A resolute glint flashed in Zhuge Guangling's eyes as he continued to follow. "There's nothing to look forward to. I'm more worried about you. After all, a madman like you could easily die. You say you have a way to deal with the strongest of the new faction, but your abilities are what they are. I know your true strength better than anyone. Don't pretend in front of me. If I can't save you in time, you'll really be dead."

Zhang Hao said irritably.

"You're wrong about that."

With his nose in the air and arms crossed, he looked smug and self-satisfied.

"Let me tell you, even the strongest person has a weakness. I've already figured out that guy's weakness, and I guarantee I can kill him with one blow. Then I'll step on his corpse and become a god in both the Yin and Yang realms."

Zhang Hao glanced casually behind him out of the corner of his eye, then pretended to be curious and asked, "What's that guy's weakness? You're so sure, are you really certain it'll be a one-hit kill?"

Tong Xin nodded, indicating that she was absolutely confident.

"I've figured out that guy's weakness. As long as we strike at midnight, attacking his heart and then burning it with the most powerful Yin Fire, he'll be dead for sure!"

Tong Xin, being very outspoken, blurted out all the information he had gathered.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Guangling's heart began to race.

With such useful information, does that mean if I also take action, I can kill this so-called strongest of the new faction?
I can definitely do it! I can definitely do it!

Greed swelled infinitely in his mind, filling his entire being.

During their subsequent conversation, they inadvertently revealed the exact location of the current strongest individual.

Having gathered all the necessary information, Zhuge Guangling realized that staying any longer might attract attention, so he secretly slipped away.

As he slipped away, he didn't notice the subtle expressions on the faces of the two men.

Zhang Hao floated up, looked in the direction Zhuge Guangling had left, and laughed: "I thought no one would fall for such a stupid trap, especially Zhuge Guangling, this rising star of the new school."

After all, to become a strong person, one still needs to have some rationality.

Tong Xin was not surprised at all by this situation.

Tong Xin snapped her fingers and explained smugly, "Of course, under normal circumstances the other party wouldn't fall for it, but his current state is abnormal. You probably don't know, but the divine ability he gained in exchange for signing the contract is illusion magic. Illusion magic places very high demands on a person's mental state; if you're not careful, you can be influenced by the illusion you cast yourself. Unless you have a strong enough mental and spiritual soul, you can't learn illusion magic well. Even if you manage to learn it, you'll become a neurotic controlled by your emotions."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao became alert. Recalling his previous deductions, he pretended to understand.

"That's right. As long as you sign the contract and exchange your abilities for those powers from the gods behind that door, there will always be serious side effects. It seems that being led by emotions and unable to think rationally is the side effect of Zhuge Guang's decree."

Tong Xin didn't refute him at all, and even nodded to indicate that he was right.

As they floated, Zhang Hao suddenly spoke, asking casually, "So, what are your side effects?" (End of Chapter)
