Chapter 1597: To rush or to let go? The choice is only in a single thought!

After the message was transmitted to the Second Archaeological Team, Yang Lu led everyone directly toward the side of the corridor, looking at the Heavenly Stone Pillars standing in eight directions in the distance.

Although Zhang Lin said there was still some time, Yang Lu was also very clear that this time was only relative. It was very likely that if they didn't take action now, they wouldn't know if something would rush out in the next moment.

At the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Lin added a sentence in the next instant: "Although the Ming Tower has collapsed now, if some people don't intend to give up, they might use some method to rebuild the Ming Tower."

"But if any one of these eight Heavenly Stone Pillars is destroyed, then it will be beyond saving."

After saying this, Zhang Lin stopped. And before the message was transmitted to the Second Archaeological Team, Wang Canghai gasped.

He could understand that this sentence was an order given to the Second Archaeological Team. It seemed understated, but in reality, it was to destroy all his subsequent plans.

Wang Canghai couldn't help but slap his forehead. He was full of regret now, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have exposed his purpose in advance.

He should have known that even without the blessing of any mechanisms, Zhang Lin wouldn't let him complete the things he wanted to do next so smoothly.

Since Zhang Lin's goal from the beginning was to stop his plan of achieving immortality, then this matter was very easy to clarify. As long as Zhang Lin had the slightest possibility or discovered any abnormality, he would choose to destroy it directly.

Just like the Sixteen Diagrams of the Exiled Immortal in front of him!

Wang Canghai also understood very clearly why Zhang Lin did this now. The other party wanted to force him to make a choice through this method. If he wanted to get the Dust-Suppressing Pearl, he couldn't stop Zhang Lin's current actions.

If he just wanted to save the Sixteen Diagrams of the Exiled Immortal, he needed to send his people to stop the Second Archaeological Team, which might still be in time.

Because Leng Feng's group hadn't gone far yet. Even if they didn't pass through the Heavenly Ladder, they could stop the Second Archaeological Team just by passing through the cliff position.

Wang Canghai couldn't help but rub his back teeth, thinking to himself that Zhang Lin's move was simply too ruthless. Things with choices are the most difficult. The so-called "dilemma" exactly reflected the current situation.

If he were facing a situation with no choice, looking up wouldn't require any struggle. He had originally been very confident and had arranged all his plans very properly.

And letting Leng Feng's group retreat first, in his view, was also not falling into Zhang Lin's trap.

But since he wanted to save the Sixteen Diagrams of the Exiled Immortal, if he let Yang Lu and the others destroy one of the stone pillars when they finally headed to the true entrance of the tomb, then his own plan would face the possibility of collapse.

After getting the Dust-Suppressing Pearl, the Second Archaeological Team would definitely want to undo the curse. And for Wang Canghai.

If he got the Dust-Suppressing Pearl without Zhang Lin's guidance, he might need to study it for a long time to find the correct way to use it.

For Wang Canghai, it wasn't that he didn't have that time and energy, it was just that there was a Zhang Lin now.

Even if he forcibly snatched back the Dust-Suppressing Pearl, he had to think about whether Zhang Lin could find his existence through some method.

So Wang Canghai wanted to hide in the Wang family for a period of time next. That would be the safest for him.

Even if everyone knew about the existence of the Wang family under Zhang Lin's exposure later, this had to be spoken of separately. The Wang family had hidden for so many years and wouldn't be found by Zhang Lin's light words.

Since he wanted to hide in the dark to change the world and use such a method to guide some things, he would protect himself very well.

The Wang family certainly wouldn't put themselves in danger.

But Wang Canghai was no longer sure of his previous thoughts, including his cognition.

Once a deviation in cognition appeared, this unconfident psychology led to the possibility of failure in Wang Canghai's subsequent plans.

These didn't come from his own insufficient preparation, but from Zhang Lin's influence on him. Wang Canghai shook his head constantly.

Xue Long was already accustomed to Wang Canghai's performance at this moment. After all, he had seen it countless times before. Since it was such a dilemma, he simply didn't say a word.

At this moment, Xue Long wasn't afraid to speak, but understood that letting Wang Canghai struggle so much also had certain benefits for him.

At this moment, if he offered corresponding suggestions, it would make Wang Canghai's mind even more firm. What the Second Archaeological Team needed now was time.

Now Xue Long had already regarded himself as Zhang Lin's person. Based on this, Xue Long needed to guide the situation, influencing Wang Canghai as much as he could.

He wanted to use this subtle method to let Zhang Lin understand that he had accomplished certain things, and after the live broadcast ended today.

Xue Long would find a place where no one was around to contact Zhang Lin's side directly. Even if he only contacted his assistant, it would be enough for Xue Long.

At the very least, he would report today's situation to the other party. He had successfully returned to Wang Canghai's side and saved his life.

Of course, Xue Long had his own little thoughts. He also wanted to tell Zhang Lin about the fact that he had taken the Corpse-Beetle Pill, so he could have a bottom line in his heart.

Although he wouldn't take the initiative to make certain demands, Xue Long wasn't a fool either. He could understand the pros and cons here.

If he didn't take the opportunity to make some demands from the side, then Zhang Lin might not give him that chance again if he wanted to propose any favorable conditions later.

But when Xue Long chose silence, Wang Canghai asked in a deep voice, "Xue Long, regarding the current matter, what are your thoughts?"

Since they had already talked to that point before, Wang Canghai naturally wouldn't have anything to hide from Xue Long at the moment. And he really wanted to make self-reflection through the suggestions Xue Long offered, not necessarily following Xue Long.

It was just that according to what the other party said, perhaps thinking in reverse would be more beneficial for Wang Canghai.

Xue Long was stunned by the question, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, such a big matter, I dare not give any suggestions."

Wang Canghai glanced at Xue Long coldly and said, "If I tell you to speak, then speak. Just pick one. Now, should I let Leng Feng and the others go back, or just watch Zhang Lin destroy the Sixteen Diagrams of the Exiled Immortal completely?"

Xue Long pondered secretly. What he was thinking about at this moment was what method could give Zhang Lin the greatest help.

A few seconds later, Xue Long said, "Master, I think the Dust-Suppressing Pearl is more important. After all, you have been searching for it for such a long time!"
