"Mo, don't bully others too much..." Upon hearing the other party's conditions, the four of them all had extremely ugly expressions. They never expected that the other party's appetite would be so big.
If it is true as the other party said, then this exploration of ancient ruins will only yield no results, and in the end it will result in bankruptcy. How can they accept it?
"I've gone too far to deceive others. You guys really know how to beat me up." Mo Juren still sneered and continued,
"When Mo entered here first, don't tell me you didn't know about the illusory figure that followed him? You know the purpose for yourself. It couldn't possibly be for Mo's protection, right?
Now that the situation has changed and you are in danger, Mo did not add insult to injury and took action directly, which is already the end of his kindness. What else do you want? Don’t forget, everyone, you and I belong to the two paths of good and evil. We are enemies rather than friends, and there is no friendship between us. "
As soon as these words came out, he was completely upset, especially the monk surnamed Wu, whose expression changed drastically. His 'three unique phantom bodies' are extraordinary, especially in terms of concealment. Unless his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, it will be extremely difficult to discover.
But I never thought that something went wrong, and I don’t know how the other party did it? What the other party said was correct. They didn't have any good intentions in the first place. They first used their phantom bodies to follow each other, and then planned to attack each other after they had finished exploring the side door and reunited. It's not that I want to take the other person's life, but I will definitely not be merciful.
Now that the situation is reversed, the original plan will naturally not work. Instead, the other party needs help, otherwise I am afraid that I will really have to explain it here.
"I admit that it was wrong to send phantoms to follow fellow Taoist before, but no matter what the reason was, it did not cause any harm in the end? In that case, why did fellow Taoist do so cruelly?" The monk surnamed Wu asked again unwillingly. .
"Absolutely?" Mo Juren's sneer voice came again,
"Maybe, but Mo knows one thing. If we change places, you will probably do worse. There is no need to talk about useless things. It is about your lives. You can decide for yourself whether you agree or not. It doesn't matter if you disagree. Mo is too lazy to waste time."
"I'll wait...we admit defeat." After struggling for a while, the monk surnamed Wu finally chose to give in. The other three hesitated for a moment and then agreed one after another.
As the other party said, this is a matter of life and death. Is it okay not to accept it? If you don't accept it, you'll be stuck here.
You know, there are not only illusions in this dense forest, but also thick poisonous mist, countless types of poisonous insects, etc. Even now, they have been consuming mana to resist.
Or maybe the elders outside will send someone to rescue them after learning about the specific situation. However, let alone whether it is possible or not, even if someone is really sent, they can only be monks in the Danjie stage. Will they definitely be able to succeed?
What's more important is that the surrounding poison is too intense, and there are countless poisonous insects. The four of them cannot hold on for long. It is estimated that they will be eaten alive in a few days.
Thinking of this, several people could only agree to each other's conditions.
However, considering what the other party did before, there is really no credibility. Naturally, these people did not dare to be careless when they only had one trump card left. They directly asked the other party to swear an oath with their Taoist heart, and they must fulfill their promise when accepting the things.
"Okay!" Mo Juren agreed to the other party's request. Originally, he had no intention of killing a few people. In that case, it would be difficult to explain outside. Although he is not afraid, it is also troublesome, right?
However, before taking the oath, he also put forward his own conditions. The four other parties must also swear an oath of Taoism, indicating that the transaction was voluntary, and they were not allowed to look for trouble or harm afterward. If there is any violation, not only will your own cultivation be destroyed, but your relatives and friends will also die.
In short, no matter how vicious it was, the four people almost blew themselves up when they heard it. They cursed secretly in their hearts. After living for hundreds of years, they have never seen such a vicious and shameless person.
We are obviously forced to do so, but we are forced to swear to admit that we do it willingly. Is there anyone who bullies others like this? No retaliation is allowed in the future, which can be regarded as restricting a few people from the root.
It hurts to lose everything, but with the status of a few people, sooner or later you can still make money back. But if you break your oath, the consequences will be too terrible.
The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became, so I simply broke the jar and threw it away, too lazy to think about it anymore. After both parties made their oaths one after another, several people took off all the storage bags on their bodies, and then used their magic power to carry them forward.
Just like before, it quickly disappeared, apparently being taken in by the other party.
To everyone's surprise, a moment later, everyone's storage bags were sent back again.
Several people were a little puzzled, and only after checking individually did they realize that all the elixirs had been taken away, and what came back were only empty bags and some chores.
At this point, several people have completely resigned themselves to their fate. Fortunately, they are not really all hairless. The magic weapons of their own bodies are still there, and the other party has not forcibly asked for them.
This is a blessing among misfortunes. However, when I think of the price paid, especially the tens of thousands of elixirs collected this time, everyone feels like they are torn apart by a knife.
Those medicine gardens have been abandoned for a long time, and there are not many elixirs left, but even so, they add up to a considerable sum. The four of them didn't know each other before, but now there was no need to hide anything. They secretly counted each other and found that the total number was over a hundred.
This is a ten-year-old elixir. Every single one taken outside is a priceless treasure, and it will definitely attract countless powerful people to covet it. So what if the other party gets it all, they won't be able to keep it in the end.
Thinking of this, several people finally felt a little comfort in their hearts.
But at this moment, there was a flash of light, and the figure of the other party emerged. It was the bastard who made them gnash their teeth with hatred and wish they could tear him into pieces.
"What's going on with these fellow Taoists? Are you angry with Mo?" Mo Juren asked with a smile.
"How dare you, Fellow Daoist Mo has misunderstood." The monk surnamed Wu forced a smile and replied as calmly as possible.
"As long as you don't get angry, I'm just telling you that these fellow Taoists all come from famous sects. If you haven't seen any good things, how can you take this in your eyes? Unlike Mr. Mo, who is used to being poor. Treat everything like a treasure."
The four of them were about to explode with anger, but it was difficult to get angry. They could only hold it in until their eyes were red with bloodshot eyes. They could only curse each other silently in their hearts. At the same time, they secretly said, "Just continue to be crazy. Wait until the news leaks out. Let's see how you end up." ?
What makes a few people a little confused is that with the shrewdness of the other party, they should not have thought of this. Why didn't they take the opportunity to make them swear?
In that case, wouldn't it be possible to completely prevent the leakage of information?
Several people were puzzled, but in Mo Juren's mind, he had another idea. The elixir of ten thousand years is indeed precious, but it is a flashy thing, at least not applicable to him now. Maybe I can use it in the future, but my future self will not lack these things.
Therefore, the elixir that is priceless in the eyes of a few people cannot be said to be useless to him, but it is not precious either. On the contrary, it is better to let the news leak out and take advantage of this big trade to auction them all, in exchange for the resources they need.
As for asking several people to swear an oath in order to prevent the news from leaking, this is obviously unrealistic. The existence of the secret realm cannot be concealed, but a few people went into it to explore, and even the ghosts didn't believe it even if they said they had nothing to gain.
You can guess what the final result will be. Driven by curiosity, it is not impossible that someone will be soul-searched, and the secret will not be kept at that time.
In that case, he will naturally become the target of public criticism. In this case, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and sell all the elixirs, so that others will no longer pay attention to him.
It is also because he is now strong enough, and the hidden power behind him is equally amazing, otherwise he would not have the confidence to do this.
He has decided to bring in all the top leaders of the sect. In addition to the ancestors Han Zhuo and Chi Ling who already supported him, as well as the ancestors Xuanyuan, Dongmen Tu, etc., I believe that no one will use the ten thousand-year elixir. Indifferent.
Especially the great elder Xuanyuan, his life span is running out. If there are any usable elixirs in these, wouldn't it be a timely help?
Through this matter, he can also further close his relationship with the core group of elders of the sect, making his position in the Yuling Sect more stable.
There is also Gu Shuangpu. Since he has taken action against him, the slander behind his back is inevitable. He might as well take this opportunity to expand his influence in the sect, so that even if the other party hates him to death, they are still helpless.
In addition to the top level of the sect, the three women outside are also a help that cannot be ignored. Needless to say, Ling Qing and Nangong Wan, but Ye Xiyue, since she has so many ten thousand years of elixir, naturally she can no longer be stingy.
In just a short breath, countless thoughts have gone through my mind, and all the pros and cons, as well as the next plan, have been clearly thought out.
He no longer hesitated and said immediately:
"Without further ado, it's time for us to leave. Please follow closely. If you fall behind, you won't be able to blame Mo."
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body lit up with escape light, and he walked away at a constant speed in a certain direction. Naturally, the four of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and followed closely.
With the correct route and accurate direction, the next journey will naturally be extremely smooth, even if the poisonous insect swarms blocking the road become scarce.
Soon, after passing through countless dense forests, the five people finally reached the entrance.
After landing on the ground, Mo Juren had a thought in his mind, and a golden light emerged from the ground and sneaked directly into his body from the hem of his robe. The process was very subtle and did not attract the attention of others.
Continuing to move forward, the original illusory scene disappeared, and the appearance of the passage returned to the front. The four people behind him also followed in. Seeing the familiar scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally came out of that damn illusory formation, my life was no longer in danger, but the price I paid was a bit heavy.
They all glared at the back of someone in front of them, but no one dared to say anything. After all, they had sworn an oath and could not retaliate afterwards. What was even more helpless was that the oath only bound the four of them, and the other party was not among them, which was simply speechless.
Entering the initial stone chamber, one could see the entrance that was still opening in front of them. Several people, led by Mo Juren, flew into it one after another without any further delay.
…
"Coming out, so fast!" Outside the entrance, the Nascent Soul stage monks who were still waiting were surprised when they saw a figure coming out.
It’s been less than a day since I entered, which is too fast! Has the exploration been completed, or is the so-called site not worthy of its name and not of much value?
As five figures flew out one after another, Nangong Wan and Feng Laodao immediately started to take action, trying to summon their half of the jade slips back. However, at this time, a change occurred.
The two of them were surprised to find that the magic they exerted had no effect, and the two huge stone doors in mid-air were not moved at all.
"This..." Under such circumstances, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. The jade slip had never been refined before. When it was opened before, it was according to the method provided in the jade slip, but how to take it back became a problem.
What I just used was a treasure collecting technique commonly used in the cultivation world, but unfortunately it was useless. The two even changed several types, but the stone door remained motionless.
This is a bit helpless. Could it be that we can only open but not close? There is no such reason? Or do you have to wait until three days later?
Among the crowd, only Mo Juren had some speculation. Since the space collapsed three days later, the so-called entrance and the stone door supported by the jade slips would naturally be of no use and would most likely be destroyed together.
Of course, these all involve secret things, so it is naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to remind them of anything. Instead, he called the three women together and began to selectively tell the story of the ruins.
Not only him, but the other four monks in the Dan Formation Stage were also questioned by Fang Feng Laodao and others. The four of them were eager for this. They had been holding back their anger, and now they just wanted to vent it out.
Due to the constraints of the oath, the four of them could not intend to cause harm, but the other party did not force them to swear an oath regarding the elixir. It would be okay to state it objectively, right?
In short, I have skipped all other things, including the 'humiliating' transaction, etc. I only mentioned a few people who were not very lucky and had little gain.
However, it was vaguely mentioned that someone had bad luck and gained a lot, including more than a hundred thousand-year-old elixir.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Laodao and the other two people were stunned. Let alone ten-thousand-year elixirs, even thousand-year elixirs are rare in today's cultivation world, let alone ten-thousand-year-old elixirs, and there are so many of them?
When they thought that there were clearly four people on their side, but only one on the other side, but the gap was so huge, the three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses became very angry.
The three people who did not believe in evil also checked several people's storage bags. Sure enough, they were cleaner than their faces, with only some useless debris.
The faces of the three Nascent Soul cultivators turned dark, and they just wanted to curse.
How could there be such a useless junior? If there is no harvest, wouldn’t you just grab it?
Four against one, isn't it easy to catch? With their backing, what are you afraid of?
