Chapter 2313: Endless desire! That is the most terrifying thing!

~7 min read 1,266 words

He had humbled all his expressions to the bone; this was the only retreat he saw. If this retreat didn't hold, Wang Canghai didn't know what he should choose—perhaps fighting to the end would be nothing more than a mutual destruction, with no situation favorable to himself.

But the reality was that he didn't want to do that at all.

Wang Canghai put down his dignity, face, and all of this, just to beg Zhang Lin to show mercy. If, under these circumstances, Zhang Lin still didn't give him the slightest chance, then Wang Canghai might really not be too polite.

This was also everything Wang Canghai could think of. Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly; if this matter were really as simple as Wang Canghai thought, it would be easier to handle.

Even at this time, Wang Canghai still didn't realize that Zhang Lin had been blocking him not only because of everything he had done before, but also because Wang Canghai's way of thinking was simply too dangerous.

Becoming an immortal—one didn't even need to think about such things; even if there really was such a chance, ordinary people couldn't control their desires. After Wang Canghai obtained eternal life, he established an organization like the Wang family and used such power to want to control everything—so it went without saying if he were given the chance to truly become an immortal.

As long as Wang Canghai was still in this world, he would definitely choose to use his high-and-mighty interpretation and his own strength to satisfy his personal desires.

Desire was something that never had an end. If Wang Canghai had stopped his dangerous thoughts at this point, Zhang Lin might really have agreed to the other party.

This was nothing; for Zhang Lin, becoming an immortal was nothing more than a form, and he had long since explored the so-called truths within it, so Zhang Lin had long since stopped caring about these.

Since Wang Canghai wanted it, he would give it to him; but Zhang Lin understood the cruelty of reality even more. If Wang Canghai chose to stop so easily, he wouldn't be Wang Canghai.

So once this matter was truly done, according to Wang Canghai's temper and nature, the thing he worried about most would definitely happen.

Under this premise, how could Zhang Lin agree to the other party?

It was just that what Zhang Lin didn't expect was that until now, Wang Canghai still held such thoughts. Although he had said before that no one could stop him from becoming an immortal and had interpreted this ambition well to Zhang Lin, the more so it was, the more impossible it was for Zhang Lin to agree to the other party—this was certain.

It was just that Wang Canghai hadn't recognized this reality yet.

Zhang Lin shook his head; since the other party still didn't understand these, he had no obligation to explain anything to Wang Canghai. Let him continue in this way and see if he could obtain what he wanted in the end.

Having figured this out, Zhang Lin hung up the phone.

Wang Canghai had been naively waiting for Zhang Lin's reply; even if the other party refused him, it was within Wang Canghai's expectations—he had already made such a big concession.

As long as the curse could be lifted, it could be considered as fulfilling the wishes of everyone in the Second Archaeological Team. Under those circumstances, Zhang Lin would have no reason to block him from using the Dust-Bead to become an immortal.

Wang Canghai even took a step back after this, saying that he didn't count on Zhang Lin telling him how to use this instrument for becoming an immortal; he would explore all of this himself.

Wang Canghai believed that as long as someone like Zhang Lin nodded, he would definitely keep his word; he was even prepared to set off for the current Kunlun Divine Palace to follow the Second Archaeological Team as soon as Zhang Lin agreed to him. At that time, he wouldn't need anyone to cooperate with his actions anymore; everything would be done by himself.

He would only need a few handymen under his command.

But all of this was ultimately just a delusion in his heart; Zhang Lin told him in the most intuitive way that he wouldn't give him such a chance.

Wang Canghai closed his eyes upon hearing the busy signal on the other end of the phone. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already blood-red. He rubbed his molars and said to himself viciously: "Zhang Lin, since you won't leave me a retreat, I won't give you any more chances either!"

This so-called chance was the cowardly component of Wang Canghai; when he threw away all this weakness, it should also have a certain lethality.

However, Zhang Lin naturally anticipated this point; no matter what Wang Canghai chose later, Zhang Lin would just meet the challenge with whatever came, and the Second Archaeological Team wasn't made of mud either.

They would definitely use their own ways to directly block the other party; besides, the state Su Nan was showing on the Second Archaeological Team's side now shouldn't be a direct fight with Yang Lusi.

Su Nan didn't have that kind of courage. Had it been before, without knowing so much about the Second Archaeological Team, Su Nan might really have chosen to solve the problem in the most intuitive way.

After all, Wang family members had always acted in this way in all tombs, but as things developed, when she saw the Second Archaeological Team's performance in the tomb through the live broadcast—

Su Nan understood that her arrival could only take a gentle approach; if she showed even a tiny bit of aggression, the final result would definitely be a failure, and Yang Lusi might even smash her Vajra Umbrella toward her head just like before—that wasn't the result Su Nan wanted to see.

In her vision, the best result was to save Wang Cen's life while also preserving her own; if the latter couldn't be done, then she would try her best to lean toward the former—this all stemmed from her true feelings for Wang Cen.

Now, the most anxious one was Wang Cen in the First Archaeological Team, because he couldn't find a signal in the mountains and couldn't see the live broadcast; according to his thinking, Su Nan would definitely answer his call.

After all, that mysterious person had already given him a guarantee.

In the process of contacting the mysterious person, even if Wang Cen didn't trust the other party, the logic of the other party's actions told him that this mysterious person was absolutely not the type to shoot without a target.

As long as he made a promise or said something, one could always see some signs; otherwise, he would absolutely not make such a choice.

As long as he understood this point, Wang Cen could do these things without scruples; he hoped that after contacting Su Nan, he could use the method he had thought of before—that is, to exert pressure on Su Nan in reverse, making Su Nan feel more disheartened toward him.

Under this premise, Su Nan should make the most subjective choice—that is, to thoroughly break away from the current Second Archaeological Team and also cut off contact with that mysterious person directly.

In this way, Wang Cen could act without scruples, and Su Nan could also preserve her life; this was absolutely killing two birds with one stone.
