If Xia Feng's mindset had been poor, he would have been so angered that he would have spat blood on the spot.
He had been set up again, damn it.
He thought he had managed to extract something useful from Little Piggy, but it turned out to be a trap all along.
Either Little Piggy was being set up along with them, or Little Piggy was cooperating with his past self to set up his current self.
Xia Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse, and waved to Ji Liangpeng, who was standing by in a daze: "You can go out."
Now, Xia Feng's first instinct was to summon Little Piggy and scold him, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quell his anger.
"Yes." Ji Liangpeng quickly bowed and retreated.
Xia Feng was a Divine Emperor, a legendary figure.
To be able to feel his aura nearby was already the utmost honor.
Therefore, he could feel unconditional obedience to Xia Feng's words from the depths of his soul.
After Ji Liangpeng withdrew from the secret chamber, Luo Shenzun was still kneeling on the ground. Seeing the secret chamber door open, he thought Xia Feng was coming out and immediately perked up.
When he saw the secret chamber door close again without Xia Feng's figure appearing, Luo Shenzun quietly asked, "Where is the Divine Emperor?"
"Inside." Ji Liangpeng pointed softly towards the secret chamber.
"Good. You come and kneel here too, to await the Divine Emperor." Luo Shenzun beckoned Ji Liangpeng over.
Ji Liangpeng was speechless. You can kneel, but you want to drag me into this?
Besides, Xia Feng only told you to kneel, not me.
These thoughts flashed through Ji Liangpeng's mind, but he immediately knelt beside Luo Shenzun and nodded, "It is only right."
Seeing this, Luo Shenzun said no more. Since he was kneeling, did he expect to stand and watch the show?
That was impossible.
After they had been kneeling for a short while, Ji Xiaoma arrived with a group of experts.
He didn't know what was happening, so he had called all the capable people from the mansion.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the secret chamber, he saw the two people kneeling in a row and then showed a look of horror, shouting, "Father, what is going on?"
It was better that Ji Xiaoma didn't come; the moment he did, Ji Liangpeng and Luo Shenzun both shot him murderous glances.
You are the instigator of this.
Before Luo Shenzun could speak, Ji Liangpeng roared, "You useless piece of trash, get down on your knees properly."
After roaring at Ji Xiaoma, he also instructed the crowd behind him, "All of you, kneel down obediently."
"Yes, City Lord." Everyone knelt down together, inexplicably.
Ji Xiaoma knelt behind Ji Liangpeng, completely clueless. He tugged his father's sleeve and asked in confusion, "Father, what exactly is going on?"
What terrifying event had occurred that even a Divine Venerable was kneeling on the ground?
Had this world become this abnormal?
Was it because he was useless that he had to be out of sync with them?
Ji Xiaoma was baffled.
"Shut up." Luo Shenzun glared at Ji Xiaoma, who was so scared that he dared not breathe and dared not ask any more questions.
Outside, rows of people were kneeling. Inside the secret chamber, Xia Feng had already summoned Little Piggy.
Looking at Little Piggy floating in the air, Xia Feng questioned, "Look at yourself, how do you plan to argue?"
Xia Feng then directly thrust the ancient book in front of Little Piggy.
"Master, first of all, I want to explain that I had no knowledge of this matter at all." Little Piggy quickly raised both hands, putting on a show of ignorance, and then continued:
"Secondly, perhaps I knew about it before, but I forgot. Why would I forget you? It was all arranged by you, Master, so you can't blame me."
Listening to Little Piggy's sophistry, Xia Feng sneered, "Then tell me, why did you suddenly remember the matter of Bashu Mountain? Wasn't it intentional?"
"Don't think that because my strength is insufficient, I can't deal with you. However, I remember everything you are doing now. The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you will be in the future."
Xia Feng had no other way to threaten Little Piggy except to use future events.
Upon hearing this, Little Piggy's face fell, and he pleaded, "Master, I really didn't lie to you. I've given you all my secrets. If I deceive anyone, I can't deceive you."
"Then tell me, what is this ancient book about?" Xia Feng was too lazy to waste more words and asked directly.
"Uh... this one, isn't it very obvious? This is a surprise that you 'yourself' have arranged for yourself. Aren't you very surprised, very astonished? If so, then it's correct. Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master, you have successfully tricked yourself."
Little Piggy then gestured animatedly, with a happy expression.
Xia Feng looked at Little Piggy as if he were an idiot. He wondered how such intelligence could have been created.
Then Xia Feng reprimanded, "I'm asking you, what is the meaning of this ancient book?"
"Oh, this one. This ancient book should be the route that you 'yourself' arranged. Through this ancient book, you can find Bashu Mountain, and then you can find the things that you 'yourself' left for yourself."
"Moreover, other than you, no one else can view the contents of this ancient book. If you hadn't brought it to me just now, I probably wouldn't have been able to see its contents either."
Little Piggy prattled on for a long time, essentially talking nonsense.
