1583 Finally Revealing His Ambition (5)
Seeing the communication jade pendant in Duanmu Ge’s hand, the expressions of Lu Zijia and the others immediately changed slightly.
They originally wanted to stall for time and make Duanmu Ge forget about Liang Wenmei, so that Liang Zongxing, who was far away in the Imperial City, would have more time to save her.
But now, they probably couldn’t drag on for long.
“There are still ten breaths left. Second Brother, you have to think carefully.” Duanmu Ge said with a sinister smile.
Lu Zijia looked at Duanmu Ge coldly and said, “Your Highness, you’re really confident in us. Do you think we’ll be willing to be loyal to you with our aptitude?”
Duanmu Ge said disapprovingly, “I don’t need you to be willing. I only need you to swear.”
Once cultivators violated their oaths, they would suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. They might even develop mental demons when they advance to the next level, which would become the greatest obstacle to breaking through.
So, all cultivators would definitely not make oaths easily.
Lu Zijia: “…” This guy was much harder to fool than Duanmu Chun. No wonder he could operate behind the scenes for so many years.
“Twenty breaths are up. Second Brother, if you’re not making a decision, I can only make a decision for you.”
After saying that, Duanmu Ge was about to activate the communication jade pendant.
“Wait!”
Duanmu Heng’s eyes were red as he shouted at Duanmu Ge.
Duanmu Ge stopped activating the jade pendant and waited for Duanmu Heng’s choice in victory.
“I’ll cut my own throat!”
Duanmu Heng enunciated every word clearly.
“Cousin!”
“Cousin!”
Liang Yingyue and Liang Yingjun said in unison, looking anxious.
Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan frowned slightly and then exchanged an almost unnoticeable look.
Mu Tianyan shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn’t act. The communication jade pendant could be activated as soon as spiritual power was injected. It was so fast that if he failed when they tried to snatch it, the plan would probably backfire.
Instantly, Lu Zijia frowned even more deeply.
Clang!
Duanmu Heng took out his spiritual sword and put it against his neck.
Liang Yingjun quickly grabbed Duanmu Heng’s hand that was about to exert force. “Cousin, you can’t…”
“Ah Jun, stop talking. Mother’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. I can’t ignore her safety.”
Duanmu Heng looked determined. “But I’m afraid I can’t continue to be filial to Mother and Father. Cousins, please be filial to Mother and Father on my behalf in the future.”
Liang Yingjun shook his head hurriedly. “No! I won’t help you. If you want to be filial, be filial yourself. How can you ask a nephew like me to be filial on your behalf?”
“Right, Cousin, Auntie and His Majesty will definitely be more willing for you, their biological son, to be filial to them.”
Liang Yingyue also helped to persuade him. “Besides, once you’ve committed suicide, how can you guarantee that the second prince will really let Auntie go?”
Duanmu Heng, who was originally determined, was immediately stunned. He immediately looked at Duanmu Ge abruptly.
Duanmu Ge glanced at Liang Yingyue with an extremely cold gaze. He was about to force Duanmu Heng to death, yet something unexpected like this happened at the critical moment.
Liang Yingyue sensed that Duanmu Ge was obviously unfriendly to her, so she understood that she might have accidentally said something about his thoughts.
This Duanmu Ge was indeed sinister and cunning!
“Second Brother, before I commit suicide, can you swear that you’ll definitely let my mother go after I commit suicide so that I can go on my way in peace?”
Duanmu Heng stared at Duanmu Ge without blinking, as if he wanted to see something from his expression and reaction.
Duanmu Ge’s eyes darkened and he said coldly, “Duanmu Heng, do you think you have the right to negotiate with me now?”
