Chapter 328 - The Death of You
"Phew!"
Just as Guo Ran finished speaking, a figure flew in, imitating Long Chen’s previous methods.
The smile on Guo Ran’s face became even more radiant as an iron ball suddenly appeared in his hand and he threw it casually into the hallway.
"Ahh …"
“Ah!” Guo Ran threw the metal bead in Guo Ran’s hand when the person was halfway in the air. He slammed it against the wall with all his might.
Countless pikes immediately appeared on the wall, instantly stabbing that person into a hedgehog. He immediately died as his mournful howls resounded throughout both sides of the passageway.
"Bastard!"
The two disciples, Zhao Mingshan and Zhang Ming, on the other side of the tunnel could not help but be enraged. Guo Ran had actually done the same thing to them, using their own methods to deal with Long Chen.
“F * ck you, you’ve killed my boss. There are treasures everywhere, don’t even think about getting them!” Guo Ran sneered.
Long Chen swallowed a healing pill and was fully recovering from his injuries. Although his injuries looked frightening, they were only superficial wounds that could be quickly healed.
"That brat, if we can’t get him, can you get him? With us guarding this place, do you think you can come out? " Someone said in disdain.
"Heh heh, so what if I can’t get out? “If you guys have the ability, then just waste your time with Grandpa Guo. Worse comes to worse, we’ll just waste a year together, and you won’t be able to think of any other opportunities!” Guo Ran said disdainfully.
Guo Ran’s words sent chills down the spines of both righteous and evil disciples. If Guo Ran really wanted to fight to the death with them, then with this powerful mechanism, they would have no way of going back.
This tomb was maintained in such a perfect condition, and in certain areas within the passageway, disciples were able to find quite a few precious ores.
According to his calculations, those ores should have been thrown away like trash. If that was the case, then there must be treasures inside the cave.
However, right now, Guo Ran was guarding the other side of the tunnel. Even if a Martial Saint were to enter, they would only have a slim chance of survival if Guo Ran were to cause trouble.
Furthermore, there were both evil and righteous disciples outside, and they were all on guard against each other. It was impossible for them to work together to deal with Guo Ran.
“Listen up, little brat. Let’s discuss this, Long Chen raped and killed innocent women, he is a disgrace to the righteous path. Now that he is dead, all the sins should be borne by him.”
"I, Zhao Mingshan, swear in the name of the 17th monastery that as long as you give up attacking us, we can prove that you are innocent and clean up your grievances."
In the righteous path, a Chosen shouted. He came from the 17th monastery, and his status was honorable.
"This… Is that true? " Guo Ran’s voice was obviously a bit odd.
“Of course it’s true. I, Zhao Mingshan, swear that I will never investigate your wrongdoings and even help you testify. Everything that you’ve done was done by Long Chen. Everything you’ve done was done by him under threat!” Zhao Mingshan said with a trace of excitement.
Guo Ran who was inside sneered, “You’re still playing word games with me right now, why don’t you pursue it? If you throw me into an evil sect, wouldn’t I be hacked into seventy or eighty pieces?”
“But I’m still a bit worried …” Guo Ran said with some hesitation. However, he looked at Long Chen and saw that the wound on his shoulder was quickly healing. He was purposefully stalling for time.
It was pitch black here, and he couldn’t clearly see his surroundings. Long Chen was healing his injuries, so he didn’t dare to move recklessly. He decided to buy some time to play with them since he had nothing better to do.
“Are you looking down on me?” I, Zhao Mingshan, as a Chosen level genius, how could I lie to you, a normal disciple? " Zhao Mingshan’s voice sounded somewhat angry.
This time, it was Guo Ran’s turn to be silent. He seemed to have fallen into some kind of hesitation and Zhao Mingshan immediately gave a look to a core disciple.
That core disciple lowered his head, stomped on the ground, and went through the passage.
"Whoosh …"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out, and that righteous disciple was immediately pierced to death by the musket again.
Guo Ran was stunned. The pearl in his hand hadn’t even been thrown out before he died.
"You … "What do you want?"
Zhao Mingshan’s face was filled with rage as he stared at the Chosen of the evil path.
Because just now, at the moment that disciple flew out, it was an expert from the evil path that shot out an attack. It triggered the mechanism, causing that disciple to die a miserable death.
"What do you think?" The evil path Zhizun realm expert indifferently said:
“Your disciples have already gone over. If that’s the case, then all the oil has already been scooped up by you. What are our brothers going to eat?”
The disciples of the righteous path were furious. At the same time, they understood that they had encountered a thorny problem. It was obvious that the evil path disciples would not let them have their way.
"Then what do you want? Could it be that you want your disciples to go over first? " Zhao Mingshan said angrily.
“How about this, we’ll send out one disciple at the same time. With the same cultivation, we’ll go at the same time, and no one will lose out!” The evil Chosen said.
“Dream on!” This is outrageous, we, the righteous disciples, found the way first, why should we share it with you? " One of the Daoists in the righteous path couldn’t help but curse.
“Long Chen is a righteous disciple?” Hehe, why didn’t I see it? He was a righteous disciple, and he died in the hands of righteous cultivators? “Your righteous path is really shameless.” That evil path Zhizun realm expert sneered.
That person’s words made all of the righteous disciples feel like their faces were burning, as if they had been slapped in the face. The internal strife of the righteous disciples had actually been seen as a joke.
"Long Chen is a traitor to the righteous path, and anyone who dares to kill him will be executed. If we kill him, that is the law of the world."
"But no matter what, Long Chen is still a disciple of the righteous path. Everything he accomplished belongs to the righteous path." Zhao Mingshan argued.
"Hehe, what I admire the most are righteous disciples like you. You are clearly despicable and shameless, but you are still able to display a dignified and righteous look.
Even if we, the disciples of the evil sects, have studied for ten thousand years, we wouldn’t be able to do it.
“We are not going to reason with you guys, so I will put my words here. If you guys don’t agree today, let’s fight. In the end, let’s decide who lives and who will decide who gets the treasure inside!”
After the Evil Realm Chosen finished speaking, his face turned cold. The evil disciples behind him all drew their weapons and released their energy. They were like bloodthirsty wolves as they stared at the righteous disciples.
"Do you think our righteous disciples will be afraid of you? If you do this, you will only end up with heavy injuries on both sides. There is no meaning! Another Chosen cultivator beside Zhao Mingshan shouted in anger.
Although the eyes of those righteous disciples were filled with anger, deep within their eyes, there was still an unconcealable panic.
The disciples of the evil sects were different from the disciples of the righteous sects. They were vicious, cruel, and fearless. If they really did fight, it would inevitably be a bitter war.
Everyone had entered the secret realm to seek their fortune. They all dreamt of finding a heaven-defying opportunity within the secret realm to soar into the heavens and shine with glory throughout their lives.
So, they did not want to fight. Even if the people beside them were killed, as long as they were not close to them, they could choose to ignore them.
It was also because of this that the power of the righteous path was like a piece of loose sand. Although there were a lot of people, they were not willing to fight, and thus were suppressed by the evil disciples.
Moreover, in Zhao Mingshan’s eyes, such a battle was completely meaningless. No matter who won, in the end, they would face the terrifying passage and Guo Ran’s obstruction.
However, this sort of reasoning was impossible to explain to that evil realm Chosen. His attitude was simple, he would either listen to him or fight to the death.
“Senior brother Zhao, starting a war right now is not wise at all. Why don’t we listen to them and see the real treasure before making a move?” One of them advised in a soft voice.
Zhao Mingshan had a stomach full of fire. Although he had two Chosen level experts on his side, they could definitely suppress the opponent in terms of ultimate strength.
However, they all knew how vicious the disciples of the evil way were. Even if they managed to kill the Evil Favored in the end, they would still be severely injured by his dying counterattack, and they might even perish together.
This was also the reason why the disciples of the evil path were so arrogant. Yet, they had been enduring it the entire time. The reason for that was because the two Chosen did not wish to fight.
"Fine, I will take a step back. We will each send a disciple over. However, you have to swear that before we see the real treasure deposit, we will temporarily live in peace." Zhao Mingshan finally compromised.
"No problem!"
The evil path Chosen expert had a faint smile on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, there was only ridicule.
Zhao Mingshan had a stomach full of anger, but he didn’t want to risk his life before seeing the real treasure trove. He didn’t know if it was worth it or not.
In the minds of the people that the courtyard taught him, they were all Chosen level experts. They were pillars of the monastery, and their lives were much more precious than others. They could not recklessly fight for it.
In their eyes, other than themselves, the rest of them were all "lowly people." They were unable to compare to the noble them. To fight against others was to smash mice with fine porcelain.
Soon, both sides sent out an outer disciple. The two Favored extended their hands and threw the two of them into the passageway.
"Hey, hey …" "Wait a minute!"
"Puff puff puff puff … …"
Guo Ran’s voice suddenly came from inside, followed by a steel ball flying out. Then the sound of the mechanism being activated was followed by a familiar scream.
"Bastard, what are you doing?"
Zhao Mingshan and the evil Chosen was furious at the same time.
“Um …” You guys are too impatient, I… Guo Ran’s apprehensive voice came from within. “I still think it’s a bit inappropriate.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Zhao Mingshan’s eyes were about to spew fire. If Guo Ran was right in front of him, Zhao Mingshan would definitely slap him to death.
“Um …” “I’m a bit scared.” Guo Ran’s uneasy voice sounded.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Mingshan patiently said.
“I’m afraid that you won’t keep your word. If you go back on your word, wouldn’t I be doomed?”
A trace of viciousness flashed across Zhao Mingshan and the evil supreme expert’s eyes. This Guo Ran was going to anger them to death.
"Then what do you want?" Zhao Mingshan tried his best to suppress his anger.
"Unless you swear!" Guo Ran said.
"Alright, we swear!"
After that, Zhao Mingshan and the evil chosen were forced into a corner. They could only swear that in order to make haste, they had all sworn an extremely venomous oath.
However, the two of them were also very smart. They swore that they would never hold Guo Ran accountable, and that they would never vent their anger on him.
"Alright, I believe all of you!"
Guo Ran’s reply finally made Zhao Mingshan and that evil path chosen heave a sigh of relief. The two of them simultaneously shot a look at the person behind them.
