Chapter 422 - 422: Iron Pestle?
The words were spoken.
The crowd was immediately silenced, with everyone's brows furrowed in frustration.
Although they are now Grandmasters, they haven't an ounce of cultivation.
Not to mention Qin Feng has the Life and Death Blade, even without it, it's questionable if all of them together could beat Qin Feng.
For a moment.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Life-taking Ghost said coldly: "Kid, have you ever heard of the Life-taking Sect?"
"Have you heard of the Wind and Thunder Sect?"
"Have you heard of the Cloud Wave Sect?"
"…"
One by one, the people shouted out their sects, trying to intimidate him with this tactic.
Qin Feng laughed and said: "Then let me ask you, have you heard of Heavenly King Mountain?"
"Heavenly King Mountain?!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was immediately taken aback.
Heavenly King Mountain.
Ranked among the world's top three powers along with Dragon King Hall and Supreme Dragon Gate!
How could they not have heard of it?
After a moment of stun, Life-taking Ghost quickly recovered and said: "Kid, you think you can scare us with Heavenly King Mountain? Too naive! Heavenly King Mountain wouldn't have trash like you!"
"Right!"
The others came to their senses and said, "How could Heavenly King Mountain ever take in someone with your level of cultivation? Absolutely not!"
Seeing this, Qin Feng sighed and said: "Okay then! If that's the case, come and try to take it! I'll just stand here, not moving."
While saying this.
He raised the Life and Death Blade in his hand.
"…"
Once again, the crowd was at a loss for words.
Go and snatch it?
Now the situation was such that they couldn't beat him even if they all ganged up!
The scene turned awkward once more.
Not a single person stepped forward.
Eventually.
Someone came out to smooth things over, saying: "Hahaha, what's with this bickering? With the situation as it is now, shouldn't we be joining forces against a common enemy? Whatever the case, it's the right choice for us to get out of here together first!"
"That's right, we shouldn't be quibbling over issues now, we need to be united." Yet another person said.
Someone offered them a way out.
Life-taking Ghost, Wind and Thunder King, and others also said to Qin Feng: "Kid, consider yourself lucky, we're temporarily not going to haggle with you."
"Don't hold back! Have a go!"
Qin Feng said, spreading his hands.
"You…"
Life-taking Ghost and others were so angry their faces turned red.
They had never been ridiculed by someone with such low cultivation before.
What a pity.
They really didn't dare to start a fight.
They could only snort coldly, stopped talking to Qin Feng, and thought to themselves that once they got out and regained their cultivation, they would crush him!
"That's more like it!" That person said again, "Right now, we're all in the same boat, we should be united."
"No, no."
Qin Feng spread his hands and said to them, "You are in the same boat, I am not, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving!"
"…"
Seeing this, everyone began to feel depressed.
Right now, only he had cultivation, only he had the Life and Death Blade; without him, they would probably be chased by those monsters again.
There was no choice.
This group of people could only follow behind Qin Feng. This сhаptеr's truе sоurсе is Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|LЕМР-YR).
"Young man, let us follow you, how about that? Hehe, don't worry, once we get out, our Cloud Wave Sect will surely reward you!"
"That's right, we will be sure to thank you properly."
The others quickly echoed.
Qin Feng scoffed and said: "Do you think I'm an idiot, or are you the idiots?"
The crowd: "…"
"You all think about taking our blade and even my life after this, do you think I don't know?" Qin Feng said contemptuously, "So, not finishing you off with one slash right now is already letting you off easy, and you still dare approach?"
Everyone's faces crinkled with awkwardness once more.
The Sect Leader of Broken Mountain Sect, Zheng Aotian, stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's make an agreement. After we leave this place, whoever dares to covet your Life and Death Blade, our Broken Mountain Sect will be the first to object!"
As the words fell.
The two protectors of the Broken Mountain Sect, one fat and one thin, immediately followed up, "Right, our Broken Mountain Sect has always kept its word. We will never allow anyone to harm you!"
The others also looked at each other before agreeing to the arrangement one after another.
After exiting, whoever tries to seize the Life and Death Blade will be everyone's enemy.
There was no other choice.
For now, they could only rely on Qin Feng.
"Little brother, is this acceptable?" Zheng Aotian of the Broken Mountain Sect said.
"Hehe."
Qin Feng gave them a smiling face and said, "Do you really think I would believe your tall tales?"
The crowd: "..."
The scene turned awkward once again.
While everyone was frustrated trying to get him to believe them, Qin Feng disregarded them and turned to Lin Xue'er at his side, "How about we let them follow us for now? With more people, you won't be frightened."
"En..."
Lin Xue'er nodded her head.
Pfft!!
The crowd almost spat blood.
It turned out that the reason Qin Feng wanted them to tag along was merely to bolster the girl's courage given the scare the crowd provided!
"However, I have one condition."
Qin Feng then said to them, "First, obey me in everything, and second, I will allow you to accompany us, but your life and death have nothing to do with me."
"Okay, okay..."
The crowd quickly agreed.
No matter what.
For now, stick with him. Once they got out, they would certainly take his life!
Following that.
Qin Feng took the lead and continued forward.
They all diligently followed behind.
As expected.
With more people around, Lin Xue'er became less tense than at the beginning, and the gloomy atmosphere also eased a lot.
After turning down several streets, the crowd no longer knew what Qin Feng was aimlessly wandering around for. Zheng Aotian of the Broken Mountain Sect gave his fat protector a look.
The fat protector immediately stepped forward, smiling at Qin Feng and asked, "Little brother, aren't we supposed to be leaving this place? Where are we going?"
"Of course, we're treasure hunting!" Qin Feng replied, "Otherwise, why would we come here?"
As the words fell.
Everyone became anxious.
They had lost too much in this place already and were now eager to leave this damned spot as soon as possible.
As for treasure hunting, what mattered more than life itself!
"I'm telling you, little brother, this place is too dangerous. You should lead us out of here! I'm saying this for your own good, it's really too dangerous!" the fat protector complained bitterly.
Seeing Qin Feng remained unmoved and continued forward,
Zheng Aotian had the thin protector step forward and say, "As long as you agree to pull back, the Life-taking Sect, Cloud Wave Sect, Wind and Thunder Sect, and the rest of us will all offer you countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"
"Let's talk about that later."
Qin Feng kept moving forward, saying, "If you're not willing to follow me, I won't force you."
"..."
The crowd was filled with frustration but had no choice but to follow his lead.
Very quickly.
Qin Feng arrived at a Priest Platform on the north side of the Ancient City and stopped, muttering, "This should be the place."
According to the map he got from the temple underground, this spot had a marker, which meant the treasure would be at this location.
"If I'm not wrong, the item should be inside the seven-story pagoda in the Priest Platform."
He continued to speak.
At this moment.
He noticed next to the Priest Platform there was a statue made of earth!
The statue looked ferocious and terrifying.
Amidst the eerie atmosphere, even the Grandmasters felt dread.
Qin Feng, however, noticed that the statue was holding a rusty iron pestle in its hand.
"Demon-Subduing Pestle?"
He questioned.
