Chapter 1815 1816: Three-Men Guarding the Gates
Actually, everyone's thoughts now are the same as Ling Zhenfei's. That is, who is lying or it's not clear who is lying, or maybe everyone is lying.
Ling Zhenfei said, "In terms of how long I've known them, I should trust Elder Lu, because I have known him the longest.
But in terms of relationship, Hoshino Yuji is now my father-in-law, so I should trust him. This whole matter is very puzzling.
There's another thing that makes me doubt Elder Lu's words. I heard Watanabe Kazushi say that your hiding cave has three doors, and the three of you guard them.
Hoshino Yuji guards the left door, Watanabe Kazushi guards the right door, and Elder Lu guards the middle door. So there's a question: since Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi are guarding the left and right caves,
according to them, the cave must be very large. There must be a considerable distance between the left and right caves, and to go from one to the other, you have to pass through the middle cave.
But Elder Lu didn't notice them moving between each other, yet when the battle started, he found both of them leading Demon Hunters together. This is very strange. How did they manage to lead the Demon Hunters simultaneously?
This is very strange, and another odd thing is that if those Demon Hunters are so powerful, how did you survive?
I heard Elder Lu say there was a very powerful cultivator among the Demon Hunters, and none of the three in the Pursue Heart State, including Lu Tao and Hoshino Yuji, were a match for that person.
In the end, the three were defeated by that person. Lu Tao was knocked off a cliff and luckily survived. So how did Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi, you two Family Heads, survive?"
Ling Zhenfei's question made Watanabe Kazushi and Hoshino Yuji ponder.
Watanabe Kazushi said, "At that time, the three of us fought against the Demon Hunter. That person was indeed powerful, at first we were no match, and Elder Lu was knocked off a cliff. It's a bit embarrassing for the two of us to say."
Before Watanabe Kazushi could finish, Hoshino Yuji said, "Stop talking, it's been so long, do you really need to bring it up again?"
Watanabe Kazushi also hesitated and didn't speak, and Ling Zhenfei said, "It's already come to this, is there really anything left to hide between you?"
Watanabe Kazushi glanced at Hoshino Yuji and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to hide about this. The two of us were indeed caught by that Demon Hunter."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "You were caught by that Demon Hunter and yet survived. Do you think this reason is reasonable?"
Watanabe Kazushi said, "Whether you think it's reasonable or not, we were caught and then he let us go."
Hoshino Yuji said, "That person must have known we were poisoned, knew we couldn't live much longer, so he let us go."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "That reason is a bit far-fetched. Even if we believed it, Elder Lu wouldn't believe it."
As Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, he heard Lu Tao on the phone say, "I believe what they said."
Ling Zhenfei felt like he had misheard and asked, "Elder Lu, what did you say?"
Lu Tao repeated, "I believe them."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned and asked, "Elder Lu, earlier you didn't believe what they said, but now why do you believe?"
Lu Tao said, "If they had bragged about their skills and said they escaped the Demon Hunters, I wouldn't believe it.
But they say they were caught and then released, I actually believe them."
Ling Zhenfei asked curiously, "Why? Why do you believe them? I find it hard to believe because there are too many unclear reasons."
Demon Hunters are a group of people in the Foreign Land Space hunting cultivators from this side. Their job is to kill those entering the Foreign Land Space. How could they let them go after capturing them?
At this time, Lu Tao said, "Because I was also caught by them, shortly after I fell off the cliff, those Demon Hunters found me again and released me too.
I know it's hard to believe, but it happened. Perhaps it was because I was already poisoned, and they knew I wouldn't live long after returning. So they let me go."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "So according to what you're saying, all of you were caught, but for some reason, you were all released."
Hoshino Yuji said, "That's right."
Watanabe Kazushi said, "As for the reason, I've pondered but couldn't figure it out, mainly because the poison in us is too unique.
The poison on us is very strange. Initially, we were indeed poisoned, making our minds a bit unclear, our consciousness somewhat fuzzy.
After returning here, there wasn't much reaction from the poison for three or four years, which is why our Watanabe Family and Hoshino Yuji were able to fight for three or four years."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, seemingly realizing something, and asked, "I want to know when did you get poisoned? Was it after being caught?"
Hoshino Yuji said, "No, we were poisoned before hiding in the cave. At that time, we met the Demon Hunter, and many of our team were injured because of him."
Watanabe Kazushi said, "Yes, that person was incredibly powerful, even our combined forces were no match for him."
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I really want to know the actual reason for all this."
Hoshino Yuji asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Tao also said, "There's nothing more to say. The matter is so simple, I can't think of any other conclusion."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Please, all three of you senior, don't worry. Listen to me speak slowly. Maybe after I finish, you will feel enlightened."
Watanabe Kazushi said, "Do you think it's possible? I've been pondering this matter since I was poisoned, for more than ten years, and I haven't discovered anything special. What could you possibly know?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "It's hard to see the true face of Mount Lu because we are in the midst of it. You can't figure it out because you are directly involved, while I am an outsider and can see more clearly."
Watanabe Kazushi said, "Then stop beating around the bush and speak."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Initially, each of you had your own thoughts but kept them to yourselves, without confronting each other.
But today is different. Today you three have clearly spoken in Fei Warehouse. When three parties confront each other, naturally a different result emerges. Now, let me tell you the result."
Hoshino Yuji said, "Zhenfei, stop teasing and just say it."
