The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 168 Dong Zhuo Designs Fengming Temple

"The failure of this plan is my fault, and I'm sorry for causing trouble for all of you brothers!"

In the Cao family compound, Cao Cao had not yet had time to change out of his nightgown, and he was seen apologizing to his brothers with a look of apology on his face.

"President, this isn't your fault. None of us could have imagined that Lu Bu would become so powerful in such a short time!"

Seeing Cao Cao apologizing to everyone, Guan Yu felt a little reluctant. After all, neither he nor Fang Mu took action when fighting with Lu Bu just now.

"But fortunately, Lu Bu didn't discover your identities, otherwise, that old Dong Zhuo would definitely come after us!"

Zhang Fei brought the Demon Bath to Cao Cao so that he could recover his internal strength as soon as possible. At the same time, he also tried his best to comfort Cao Cao and told him not to feel guilty.

……

"Have you checked it out?"

A few days later, Dong Zhuo came out of his coma. After knowing the whole story, he angrily scolded Li Ru and Mei Niang who were kneeling in front of him.

"Great Principal, it's not that we don't want to investigate, but the assassins who attacked you were all wearing night clothes. Mei Niang and I were both hit by their poison arrows and fainted at the beginning. We didn't even get a good look at them!"

"That's right, please have mercy on me, great principal!"

Li Ru and Mei Niang did not dare to face the furious Dong Zhuo. They knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.

"Father!"

Lu Bu walked in from outside with a cup of tea in his hand. He handed the tea to Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu coming in, his expression improved a little.

"Suck it-"

Dong Zhuo took the tea and took a sip, then put it on the table in front of him and spoke slowly.

"If it weren't for my good son, I'd probably be lying dead in the wilderness right now! I asked you two to investigate but you couldn't find anything. I asked you two to protect me, but you two fell before me. What's the point of me raising two useless people like you?"

"Godfather, calm down!"

Lu Bu glanced at Li Ru and Mei Niang who were kneeling on the ground, and saluted Dong Zhuo.

"The assassins from the other night were all masters. Li Ru and Mei Niang were weaker than them. Plus, it was a surprise attack, so it's understandable that they got hit!"

If it had been the case in the past, Li Ru and Mei Niang would have definitely been furious when they heard Lu Bu say that his martial arts skills were low, but at this moment, the two of them nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice.

"But I can't find the murderer, so I'm so angry. Now I want to find someone to vent my anger on!"

Dong Zhuo showed his aura as he spoke, and suddenly his terrifying power made the whole room very depressing and suffocating.

"Foster father, although I don't know who the murderer is, based on my fight with one of them that night, their moves were very decent. They probably aren't from Yellow Turban High School!"

"So what if I'm not from Yellow Turban High School? I, Dong Zhuo, have done so many bad things. Anyone who wants to kill me can line up all the way from here to Jiangdong High School!"

However, Lü Bu's words eventually sparked Dong Zhuo's thinking: who on earth could have such a deep hatred for him? Judging from the current situation, the person who attacked him was most likely a student of the Eastern Han Academy.

"My dear son, what are the characteristics of the person who waved to you that night?"

"This opponent's luck is the first time I've seen it. His moves are ordinary, and his punches and kicks are mediocre. If I had to say anything special, it's that his true energy is quite special. The palm power he emits is in the shape of a dragon!"

Hearing the word "dragon shape", Dong Zhuo immediately smiled evilly.

"Do I know who the assassin is?"

Dong Zhuo looked into the distance. He remembered that not long ago, when he wanted to attack Wang Yun, Cao Cao had shot a dragon-shaped qi at him.

"I didn't expect it to be these brats? I didn't come to settle accounts with you, but you came to me instead. Let me think about how I should deal with you."

Dong Zhuo drummed his fingers on the table and looked at the door handle, a plan gradually taking shape in his mind.

……

"Jiang Gan, I didn't expect you to be a double agent?"

Fang Mu looked jokingly at Jiang Gan who was passing on the news about Dong Zhuo to him. The other party's sneaky look was inexplicably similar to Jin Bao San.

"Hey, Fang Mu, please stop teasing me. I'm working for the president now. You must pass on my information to him. I risked my life to get it!"

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Fang Mu nodded. Jiang Gan was different from his two clones in other time and space. He was very loyal to Cao Cao. Even when he was killed by Dong Zhuo in the end, he never betrayed Cao Cao and his men.

"I'm a real man. I won't let you die miserably!"

Looking at Jiang Gan's back as he tiptoed away, Fang Mu murmured, then returned to the Cao family compound with the envelope given by Jiang Gan.

"It seems Dong Zhuo already knew that it was us who attacked him that night!"

After reading the letter, Cao Cao sighed helplessly. When the plan failed that night, he had expected that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so early.

"President, don't be afraid. If Dong Zhuo really wants to fight us to the death, the worst that can happen is that all eight of us can attack him together. I don't believe that with eight of us, we can't kill Dong Zhuo! Even if we can't kill him, we can at least drive him away!"

Zhang Fei put his arm around Cao Cao's shoulders and said in an open-minded manner.

"While this approach of yours will indeed expel Dong Zhuo from the Eastern Han Academy, it will also put us on the list of the Ten Evil Students. Not only will we be permanently expelled, but we will also be wanted by the entire school alliance!"

Fang Mu said that they would definitely have a battle with Dong Zhuo, but not now.

"Have you seen Yun? He hasn't come back yet."

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong came down from upstairs with a game of flying chess in their hands. Zhao Yun had clearly said that he would go out and play with them, but he still hadn't shown up.

"Strange, clouds are supposed to be punctual, right?"

"Drip drip..."

The siren in Cao Cao's hand suddenly rang. Cao Cao looked over and saw that it was a message from Jiang Gan: "Zhao Yun, Fengming Temple, Dong Zhuo, fell into a trap!"

With just 8 words, Cao Cao immediately understood that Zhao Yun was in danger and immediately passed the news to several other people.

"Oh no! Zhao Yun is in danger in Fengming Temple!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped worrying about Dong Zhuo's revenge and rushed to Fengming Temple to rescue Zhao Yun.

"Fang Mu, what's going on here?"

Xiu followed his brothers along the way. For some reason, he always had a bad feeling.

"The troops will come to block it, and the water and earth will cover it!"

Fang Mu naturally couldn't reveal the plot to Xiu, saying that Zhao Yun had been implanted with "Lock Maria" and had now lost all his martial arts skills.

Thanks to the Cao family's driver, the group arrived at Fengming Temple in the suburbs in just over 20 minutes. Before they went in, they heard the long cry of an eagle in the sky, which sounded both desolate and tragic.

"What a strange place! Why is Yun here?"

Everyone looked at the Fengming Temple in front of them. It was clearly a temple, but there was not a single monk. Looking inside from outside the door, the temple was overgrown with weeds and it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time.

"Anyway, Brother Liu, Fang Mu, Yu, Fei, Zhong, and Chao, you guys go in. Hua Tuo and I will be waiting for you outside. If you need help, just send me a signal!"

Cao Cao handed a few fireworks to everyone, which was what he called a signal.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong took the fireworks and immediately rushed into Fengming Temple. Xiu was about to speak when they disappeared.

"Brother Liu, do you have any other concerns?"

"I sense a very strange magnetic field within this Fengming Temple?"

"What is a magnetic field?"

It was obvious that Cao Cao did not understand Xiu's terminology.

"To put it simply, it's a powerful illusion. Once you enter this magnetic field, you'll be trapped in an illusion. You won't be able to detect it, nor will you be able to escape from it!"

Fang Mu spoke and then pointed out the solution.

"According to general martial artists, the stronger their martial arts skills, the stronger their Qi. This illusion works by invading a person's Qi, so as long as we use the Turtle Breathing Technique, we can temporarily resist the illusion!"

"Turtle Breathing Technique?"

Cao Cao took the computer from the car, opened the Crisis Encyclopedia, and then combined it with the information sent by Jiang Gan, he immediately came up with the answer.

"That's right, it's 'Turtle Breath Breaks Phoenix Cry'. Fengming Temple is the place where Hedong High School detains students who disobey their discipline. Legend has it that 'When the phoenix cries at midnight, the hero's nine souls are broken.' Rumor has it that this place is a place where people can only enter but not leave. Brother Liu, Brother Fang, you must be careful!"
