Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

The battle has developed to this point. If we say that we can retreat unscathed, it is too much of a stretch. After all, the battle has developed to this point, and both sides are no longer "complete".

Zuo Feng's side is better. Although he has serious injuries, no companions have died. In comparison, the Ye Lin Empire is much more miserable. One high priest fell and another was seriously injured.

I am afraid that even if we trace back to the year when the Ye Lin Empire launched a war against the Xuanwu Empire, it did not cause such tragic damage.

Facing Zuo Feng's proposal, Zheng Lu couldn't help but fall into silence. If it were according to his personality, he would rather fight to the death with the enemy in front of him. Even if he couldn't kill Shan Ji and Blizzard, he must kill the young man in front of him.

He could sense that Shan Ji would activate the "Heavenly Ring" at this time, and later help Shan Ji cover up her breath, so that he and Zhu Tao would bear the "Order Punishment" all had something to do with the young man in front of him. He was a little impatient and wanted to kill Zuo Feng and his companions here.

However, as the high priest of the Ye Lin Empire and the highest combat power of the Weicheng, he cannot make a "willful" choice. At least he must consider the huge Weicheng and cannot let the other party kill them all.

In order to develop Xinxu County in recent years, the Ye Lin Empire has invested a lot of wealth in those super families and forces, as well as the top leaders of the empire.

Especially the Weicheng, the frontier city closest to the Tianping Mountains, even Zheng Lu's own family has invested heavily here. If Shan Ji really slaughters everyone here regardless of everything, and even plunders the entire Weicheng in the end, this loss will be too heavy for the Ye Lin Empire.

Even because of the things here, a series of chain reactions will be caused in the entire Ye Lin Empire. It will be difficult to estimate what kind of chaos it will turn into.

When Zheng Lu was hesitant, he suddenly thought of what Zhu Tao said before he chose to sacrifice himself.

"It was not until today that I realized that you are actually a person with a clear mind, and you see everything more clearly than I do. Ye Lin Empire can do without me, Zhu Tao, but it cannot do without you, Zheng Lu."

When these words echoed in Zheng Lu's mind, Zhu Tao's expression when he spoke also appeared in his mind. 'Hey, old Zhu, you know that I am an impulsive person, but you want to leave the burden to me alone. Now I don't even have the right to avenge you, let go of the battle and finally find you, I...'

Zheng Lu was thinking silently, his heart was full of helplessness, and he also made a decision. When he looked up at Zuo Feng, his face was no longer as ferocious as before, and his eyes were no longer as crazy as before.

Zuo Feng, who had been paying attention to Zheng Lu's changes, was also a little uneasy in his heart. He was very confident in the choice he made. But he also knew that Zheng Lu's personality, like his own attributes, was the kind of hot-tempered and impulsive type. If the other party really went crazy, things would be completely out of control.

Although he vowed to let Shan Ji take Blizzard and escape directly, and then launch a full-scale revenge when Zheng Lu's explosive disintegration was activated. But this was just talk. If Zheng Lu activated the explosive disintegration, Shan Ji might even activate the explosive disintegration as well and die with this old guy.

Seeing that Zheng Lu had regained his composure, Zuo Feng had already guessed that his psychological attack strategy had worked.

After taking a deep breath, Zheng Lu slowly spoke and said, "I can let you leave safely, but I need you to agree to one condition of mine."

Whether it was Shan Ji or Blizzard, they had no intention of speaking at this time, because they now had full trust in Zuo Feng, and they believed that things would be handled well in Zuo Feng's hands.

As if he had guessed what the other party would say, Zuo Feng still said with a half-smile: "Just say it, I'll listen first."

Being spoken to like this by a junior, Zheng Lu could only endure it secretly and said: "I can decide to let you go, but I ask the Icefield Clan and the Monster Clan not to retaliate against my Ye Lin Empire."

As soon as these words came out, not only did Blizzard's face change instantly, but Shan Ji's face also became gloomy at the same time, and she immediately wanted to open her mouth and scold the other party. On the contrary, Zuo Feng was still so calm, smiling and waving his hands, saying: "Then I ask you Ye Lin Empire not to pursue any investigation against me, can you agree to it?"

"I..." Zheng Lu only said one word, but the rest of the words were stuck in his throat. He found that facing the young man in front of him, he actually felt like a dog biting a hedgehog "not knowing where to start".

He wanted to directly rebuke the other party for dreaming, causing such a serious loss to the Ye Lin Empire, not only indirectly destroying a Li City, but even a quarter of the combat power in Yu Pavilion died directly in his hands. Even if we don't count what he did in the Acropolis, the Ye Lin Empire will never let Zuo Feng go.

But compared to what the Ye Lin Empire did to the Monster Clan and the Icefield Clan, what Zuo Feng did was obviously nothing. But the Ye Lin Empire didn't even let Zuo Feng go, so how could it make the Monster Clan and the Icefield Clan let go of their hatred and not seek revenge.

Of course, Zheng Lu could also deceive with lies, but in this case, the other party could also lie in response, so the so-called promise between the two parties would be completely equivalent to a tasteless fart.

Zheng Lu was obviously unwilling to accept such a result. He stared at Zuo Feng, who was at ease, and his eyes moved slightly. Then he suddenly said, "Then I will change the way and adjust our promises to each other. We in the Ye Lin Empire do not want to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you want revenge, come quickly. I can give you ten years."

After a slight pause, Zheng Lu suddenly said, "Ten years is too long. Five years, I will give you five years. If you want revenge, come in these five years! After these five years, I hope you can settle down completely."

Hearing Zheng Lu's words, Shan Ji and Zhu Tao both had gloomy faces. They really couldn't accept Zheng Lu's words. Especially Blizzard, he certainly knew why Zheng Lu made such a request, because he saw that the Icefield Clan could not recover its vitality in three to five years, and had no qualifications to fight with the Ye Lin Empire.

And the current situation of the Monster Clan is not much better than that of the Icefield Clan. Even if the Ye Lin Empire does not actively invade for three to five years, the Monster Clan will not be able to grow stronger.

This request is equivalent to completely blocking the path of revenge for the Icefield Clan and the Monster Clan. These two clans have been persecuted and oppressed for many years, and of course they are unwilling to accept this condition.

But Zuo Feng took the lead and said: "Okay, five years, that's five years. We will retaliate in these five years as promised."

After hearing this, Blizzard and Shan Ji could no longer remain silent. Blizzard took the lead and said: "The humiliation suffered by our clan cannot be washed away even if all the water of Ye Xuanjiang is poured out. Not to mention five years, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely take revenge to the end."

Shan Ji was also very excited and shouted loudly: "The Monster Clan not only wants to regain everything they have lost, but also wants to double it back. The Ye Lin Empire is waiting for our endless revenge."

After hearing what the two said, Zheng Lu's whole aura suddenly changed. Although he knew that it would be more harmful to him if he tore his face now, if there was no promise from Blizzard and Shan Ji in front of him, he could not decide to let the other party go, because he had no way to explain to the empire.

Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Zuo Feng hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and at the same time quietly sent a telepathic message to Shan Ji and Blizzard. Everyone was very weak at this time, so Zuo Feng didn't need to worry that his telepathic message to Shan Ji and Blizzard beside him would be noticed by Zheng Lu on the opposite side.

After hearing Zuo Feng's message, Shan Ji was the first to react, and the excitement on her face gradually subsided. Blizzard was half-believing and half-doubting, and looked at Shan Ji. After getting Shan Ji's affirmative nod, he calmed down.

"Okay, I agree to your request." Shan Ji said

"I also agree to your request on behalf of the Icefield Clan." Blizzard looked ugly and said with some difficulty.

Zheng Lu's expression relaxed a little, but then he said: "I need you to swear by the ancestral pattern. If you violate the oath, you will be backlashed by the ancestral pattern."

Shan Ji and Blizzard showed anger on their faces at the same time, but in the end, the two of them tried to calm down, and finally looked at Zuo Feng again, and then nodded to agree to Zheng Lu's request.

"I, Shan Ji, swear that the revenge of the monster tribe on the Ye Lin Empire will only be in these five years!"

"I, Blizzard, swear that the revenge of the ice field tribe on the Ye Lin Empire will only be in these five years!"

When they spoke, a complex and majestic rune appeared on their foreheads. When their voices fell, the rune slowly dissipated.

Until watching the two people swear, Zheng Lu was slightly relieved, but there was a cold smile in his eyes.

"Okay, my Ye Lin Empire can also swear to defend with all its strength in the next five years!" Zheng Lu also swore an oath. After he spoke with telekinesis, the words turned into a special flame rune, condensed in the spiritual realm, and finally flew into his mind.

The changes in the other party's eyes had already been clearly captured by Zuo Feng, and he could also guess Zheng Lu's plan. ‘I know you have ill intentions. The so-called five-year agreement means you will block the monsters and the Icefield tribe in the current territory and not give them any chance to develop. Once the five years are over, you will immediately launch an all-out attack.’

Even though he understood the other party’s malicious intentions, Zuo Feng still had a faint smile on his face. At the same time, he politely clasped his fists, waved his hands, and said softly: “Let’s go!”

No one said a word. Blizzard was in the front, and Shan Ji stayed behind to monitor Zheng Lu and the others’ actions. Everyone flew to the East Gate without rushing. It was not far away, and it took less than a cup of tea for everyone to pass through the East Gate of the inner city.
