Chapter 698: Black Goat

With a single sentence, the whole world fell silent.

The sound of a falling needle could be heard.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's gaze turned grim as he stared at Chen Chuyang; this person has emerged, and this time, he steps forward of his own accord.

Tian Xin Dao Ren suppressed himself for a long while before subduing his inner impulse, and did not act.

Yin Gui Zhenren unusually offered no rebuttal; what he wants is flesh and blood, and regarding the Golden Core and other things, he does not covet them nor will he demand them now.

His strength is not a match for Chen Chuyang, nor for Mu Long Dao Long and Huang Fu Xiu, so demanding a bit of flesh and blood is still possible; for other things, if he dared to ask, the other side would immediately slay him.

Huang Fu Xiu stared at Chen Chuyang; the two, having met once before, watched Chen Chuyang warily, their gazes gradually turning grim and venomous, yet they did not speak directly, instead waiting for Mu Long Dao Long to speak.

Mu Long Dao Long coldly fixed his eyes on Chen Chuyang; after a long pause, he finally spoke: "Daoist companion, are you perhaps being a bit excessive?"

"I can give you Bei Shan Gui's shell, but the Golden Core, don't even think about it."

He can decide to hand over Bei Shan Gui's shell to Chen Chuyang; after all, it's not what he wants.

But the Golden Core cannot be given away; Chen Chuyang cannot have it either.

Heishanyang came to Chen Chuyang's side to cheer him on; the others had long fled and would not intervene in this battle.

In a Strong One's fight, they cannot intervene; they can only scavenge corpses, looking for good items left by others.

Jing Yuheng and Zhuge Ruolan were the most enthusiastic; regarding Chen Chuyang, they trusted him completely and harbored no doubt.

There were many corpses on the ground; their storage bags were unwanted, so all the items went into their pockets, to be split with Chen Chuyang later. Li Shenghong joined in scavenging; there were plenty of good things, and some of the dead still had Golden Cores left, which were valuable and naturally had to be taken.

As disciples of the Yin Gui Sect, these are all treasures.

In response, Chen Chuyang and the others paid them no mind; as long as they stayed away from Bei Shan Gui, no one would bother them.

"Is that so?"

Chen Chuyang smiled faintly, staring at Mu Long Dao Long, and said: "Daoist companion, are you trying to block me?"

"Do you think you could be my opponent? I don't want to kill you; you'd better leave now, otherwise I wouldn't mind sending you to meet Mu Longhao."

Chen Chuyang's mind was only on Bei Shan Gui; Mu Long Dao Long killed Bei Shan Gui, so he naturally would come out to reap the profit.

It's a good thing; how could I give it to him?

Heishanyang nodded, willing to be Chen Chuyang's henchman.

With the same gaze fixed on Mu Long Dao Long, the two exerted massive pressure to suppress Mu Long Dao Long.

Mu Long Dao Long hesitated for a long time, staring at Chen Chuyang, not daring to act immediately; he knew Chen Chuyang was hard to deal with, Mu Longhao had died by his hand, so this person was certainly no ordinary foe. If he struck now, he knew nothing and would likely fall into a trap.

"Huang Fu Xiu, fellow Daoist, how about we join forces to eliminate him?"

"Later we can each use our own methods to snatch the Golden Core; what do you think?"

Huang Fu Xiu shrugged and refused on the spot.

"No."

Huang Fu Xiu stared at Chen Chuyang with apprehension; he had a premonition that even if the two of them teamed up, they might still not be Chen Chuyang's match.

This person has them in his grasp, and also has Bei Shan Gui.

Yin Gui Zhenren shifted forward a bit, moving toward Chen Chuyang's side; it was clear he was on Chen Chuyang's side.

Tian Xin Dao Ren did not move, standing in place, helping neither side.

Mu Long Dao Long watched this scene, his gaze fixed on Yin Gui Zhenren.

Yin Gui Zhenren was unafraid of his stare, smiling at Chen Chuyang: "Chen Chuyang, fellow Daoist, just give me a share of Bei Shan Gui's flesh and blood, and that's all; I don't covet the rest."

"Naturally, fellow Daoist, you're very wise."

At such a moment, the people standing by his side, Chen Chuyang naturally was not stingy.

Just a bit of flesh and blood, here you go.

"Thank you."

Yin Gui Zhenren clasped his hands in thanks, giving Tian Xin Dao Ren and Mu Long Dao Long and the others a contemptuous smile.

"Three fellow Daoists, I advise you not to be too greedy; just take some flesh and blood, and leave the rest alone; those aren't things you should be after."

His words ended there; whether you listen or not is up to you.

Tian Xin Dao Ren, hearing this, thought for a moment, clasped his hands and said: "I only want a bit of flesh and blood; the rest, I don't want."

He made his stance clear, not taking part in the battle.

Huang Fu Xiu sighed: "Fine, I don't want the Golden Core either; if a fellow Daoist needs it, I'll give it to them."

Having said that, he rushed straight for Bei Shan Gui's skull.

He took the skull, turned and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped, turned to Chen Chuyang and said: "Fellow Daoist, the mountains are high and the waters far; we shall meet again."

Leaving that sentence, Huang Fu Xiu walked away directly.

Mu Long Dao Long stared at Huang Fu Xiu's retreating back, scoffing contemptuously: "Useless, useless."

No one teamed up with him; left alone, he was schemed against.

This person had long dug a pit waiting for him.

When hunting Bei Shan Gui, he didn't act, but when it came to sharing the spoils, he was the first to appear.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Mu Long Dao Long's heart boiled with anger, yet he knew that at this moment, opposing Chen Chuyang and the others would only bring disaster upon himself.

As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood.

"Fellow Daoist, your tactics are impressive, truly impressive."

"This time, I was outwitted; next time, humph."

He waved his hand, sliced off a piece of flesh, and turned to leave.

We can't settle for nothing, and we can't let everything be taken advantage of by Chen Chuyang.

He left, clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

This made Chen Chuyang quite surprised, and he couldn't help but take another look at this person.

This person is extremely decisive, a difficult opponent to handle.

Heishanyang said sinisterly: "Kid, actually you should have killed them."

These two are not easy to deal with; having offended them today, they will surely take revenge on us someday.

Chen Chuyang smiled, said nothing; he also wanted to kill them, but the problem is it's not possible.

In the darkness, a gaze stared at him.

As long as he makes a move, he'll fall into a trap; then they might all end up in that person's snare.

The mountain-bearing turtle is part of the trap.

Heishanyang also saw Chen Chuyang's apprehension, knew what he was worried about, and didn't continue to persuade him.

Yin Gui Zhenren clasped his hands, cut off a piece of flesh and blood, then left; this place is not suitable for lingering, and he also feared Chen Chuyang might attack him, after all, he dared not guarantee whether Chen Chuyang had… developed killing intent toward him.

Tian Xin Dao Ren acted even faster, running off before Yin Gui Zhenren.

The remaining corpses, Chen Chuyang took it upon himself to collect them all.

As soon as the Primordial Bell appeared, it collected everything.

The traces left at the scene, that blood, was absorbed by the earth.

The remaining things on the ground are theirs; hand them over to Zhuge Ruolan and the others to handle.

After half a day, once everyone had finished scavenging, they all left.

Not knowing how far they had gone, the group stopped, confirmed safety, then sat down and began sharing the good things they had obtained.

Among them, the most excited was Heishanyang.

Having eaten the flesh of the mountain-bearing turtle, although only a bite, that texture, that flavor, truly made one linger and forget to return.
