Chapter 1348: I can give up everything! But you will definitely lose miserably!

~6 min read 1,147 words

This was because he had a guilty conscience, fearing that the plan he had arranged would be exposed.

If that happened, everything would be for nothing. Thinking of this, Xue Long rushed in immediately.

Seeing Wang Canghai's face turn red and then white, Xue Long swallowed and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Wang Canghai glared fiercely at Xue Long, who felt his heart skip a beat and subconsciously stepped back. He didn't know if he should speak now.

He was afraid of provoking even a hint of Wang Canghai's anger; it was very likely that Wang Canghai would vent everything he had encountered on him. This was something Xue Long had already anticipated.

However, this time Wang Canghai calmed his emotions. His anger was tiered; sometimes it was like an electrocardiogram.

Because at one moment he felt he had figured it out, that he could defeat Zhang Lin, but suddenly Zhang Lin would use some inexplicable method to disrupt his train of thought.

It was like a train running on tracks; Wang Canghai thought he had seen all the paths ahead, but he hadn't expected that everything he had seen was just self-delusion.

Zhang Lin would change the route of the tracks from time to time, causing him to lose all his previous predictions. In other words, not one of the countermeasures he had conceived in his mind could be used.

How could this not make Wang Canghai angry?

Wang Canghai adjusted his emotions, let his breathing become steady, and dialed the phone again.

This time Zhang Lin answered directly and said, "Wang Canghai, is this interesting to you? If you keep calling to harass me, maybe I really will change my mind."

Wang Canghai smiled coldly and said, "You don't need to waste words with me. I'm calling to tell you: you want to play? I won't look for the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book anymore, and I don't want the Muchen Bead either. I have plenty of ways to continue my immortality later."

"I can give up on becoming an immortal, but you must pay the price! Zhang Lin, you are a person with emotions. No matter how you deny anything or change your intentions, you cannot erase that."

"Your emotions are your greatest weakness. I can fully exploit this to ruin your reputation and leave you with nothing."

Zhang Lin chuckled and said, "You can try."

Then he hung up the phone again.

Wang Canghai took a deep breath; his emotions could no longer be stabilized, at least not in the short term.

After hanging up, Zhang Lin looked at Wu Ya and asked, "Did you understand anything?"

Wu Ya rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Wang Canghai probably feels he is about to lose, which is why he said that, but..."

Wu Ya paused for a moment at the "but."

Zhang Lin waved his hand and said directly, "If you have something to say, just say it. No need to hesitate."

This had always been Zhang Lin's style; there was no need to struggle with words. Since he chose to trust Wu Ya and had helped her to this extent, any hesitation would be a sign of disrespect to himself.

Wu Ya nodded and said immediately, "But if Wang Canghai really does that, he might continue to send his people to influence the rhythm of the Second Archaeological Team, and the First Archaeological Team should also be dispatched in the near future."

Wu Ya came from the First Archaeological Team. Since they saw the design of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace in Wang Canghai's underground palace, it meant that the First Archaeological Team's next stop was definitely there.

The goal of the First Archaeological Team was to explore the things Wang Canghai left behind, even things related to Wang Canghai.

Given this premise, the First Archaeological Team was established. Wu Ya naturally understood what their goal was, and she was also worried that Wang Canghai would send people to obstruct their actions.

The key was that Wang Canghai had already said this much, which meant he wouldn't consider getting anything anymore. Pure destruction is much more dangerous than purposeful obstruction.

This was exactly what Wu Ya was worried about now.

Hearing Wu Ya's words, Zhang Lin nodded slowly and said, "Your worry is reasonable, but I want to tell you that such a worry doesn't hold up here."

"Wang Canghai will find the subsequent route, that's correct. He will also follow the First Archaeological Team to the Heavenly Palace, and his subordinates will try to obstruct them."

"But as Wang Canghai said, he doesn't want anything anymore, including the things needed to continue immortality, just like the supplies you need for immortality in your body."

"Through these words, there is one point I am 100% confident in!"

Wu Ya asked without hesitation, "Which point? Mr. Zhang."

"That is Wang Canghai's judgment of me. It's true that I am emotional, but in his judgment, he believes that emotions themselves shouldn't exist, and this fact being ignored by him is the reason he is destined to fail."

Wu Ya's eyes lit up, and she continued, "You mean that Xue Long who betrayed Wang Canghai—you can now conclude that he wasn't sent by Wang Canghai?"

Zhang Lin nodded slowly and said, "Exactly. If he were Wang Canghai's spy, then what Wang Canghai said to me on the phone wouldn't have been this."

"It seems like he wanted to take the initiative to alert the enemy, but in reality, Wang Canghai is truly out of options."

Zhang Lin's words were full of confidence, and this confidence had roots; he had already figured out everything about Wang Canghai.

Wu Ya nodded and didn't say anything else, but a light of reverence appeared in her eyes.

Originally, her reverence for Zhang Lin was subconsciously hidden in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't control her thoughts.

That was Wang Canghai, who had lived for hundreds of years. The First Archaeological Team had been exploring Wang Canghai's secrets all along, but in front of Zhang Lin, Wang Canghai was like a child, so insignificant.

Zhang Lin shook his head and said, "Alright, let's see what's happening with the Second Archaeological Team."

He then opened the live stream.

At this moment, a loud noise came from the Second Archaeological Team.

Yang Lu led those spiders into a corner. As she moved through the air using her Hundred-Claw Hook, those spiders couldn't keep up at all.

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi led the others to rush toward the cave entrance mentioned earlier.

Yang Lu had already found the location of that cave entrance before entering. Lao Si was right; there was indeed a very unique cave entrance there.

And Yang Lu recognized at a glance that it was definitely the entrance to the tomb chamber. ===== CHAPTER 1349 =====
