Chapter 2872

This was all Wang Canghai could think of. Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly. If this matter were truly as simple as Wang Canghai imagined, it would actually be easy to handle.

Even at this point, Wang Canghai still hadn't realized that Zhang Lin had been blocking him all along, not only because of everything he had done before, but also because Wang Canghai's way of thinking was far too dangerous.

Becoming an immortal was something one didn't even need to consider. Even if such an opportunity truly existed, ordinary people couldn't control their own desires. After obtaining immortality, Wang Canghai had already established an organization like the Wang family, using such power to try to control everything. There was no need to mention what would happen if he were given the chance to truly become an immortal.

As long as Wang Canghai remained in this world, he would certainly choose to use his lofty interpretation and his own strength to satisfy his personal desires.

Desire was something that was never finite. If Wang Canghai had stopped his dangerous thinking at this point, Zhang Lin might truly have agreed to him.

This was nothing to Zhang Lin. Becoming an immortal was merely a formality, and he had long since explored the so-called truths behind it, so he had long stopped caring about these things.

Since Wang Canghai wanted to give it to him, so be it. But Zhang Lin understood the cruelty of reality even more clearly. If Wang Canghai had so easily chosen to back off, he wouldn't have been Wang Canghai.

So once this matter was truly done, according to Wang Canghai's temperament, the thing Zhang Lin worried about most would definitely happen.

Under this premise, how could Zhang Lin possibly agree to him.

What Zhang Lin hadn't expected was that, even until now, Wang Canghai still clung to such thinking. Although he had previously said that no one could stop him from becoming an immortal, and had demonstrated this ambition well to Zhang Lin, the more so, the less likely Zhang Lin was to agree to him. This was certain.

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

Zhang Lin shook his head. Since the other party still didn't understand these things, he had no obligation to explain anything to Wang Canghai. Let him continue in this manner and see whether he could ultimately obtain what he wanted.

After thinking through this point, Zhang Lin hung up the phone.

Wang Canghai had been naively waiting for Zhang Lin's answer. Even if the other party refused him, it was within Wang Canghai's expectations, since he had already made such a large concession.

As long as the curse could be broken, it would fulfill the wishes of everyone in the Second Archaeological Team. Under those circumstances, Zhang Lin would have no reason whatsoever to stop him from using the Mysterious Dust Pearl to become an immortal.

Wang Canghai even took another step back afterward, saying that he didn't expect Zhang Lin to tell him exactly how to use this device to become an immortal—he would figure that out himself.

Wang Canghai believed that someone like Zhang Lin, once he nodded, would definitely keep his word. He had even prepared to set off immediately for the current Kunlun Divine Palace to follow the Second Archaeological Team once Zhang Lin agreed. By then, he wouldn't need anyone else to cooperate with his actions; he would handle everything personally.

He only needed a few people under him to do odd jobs.

But all of this was ultimately just his own fantasy. Zhang Lin told him in the most direct way possible that he wouldn't give him such a chance.

Wang Canghai heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were already blood-red. He rubbed his back molars and muttered viciously to himself: "Zhang Lin, since you won't leave me a way out, I won't give you a single chance either!"

This so-called opportunity was Wang Canghai's cowardly component. Once he cast off all such weakness, he should also possess a certain killing power.

But Zhang Lin had naturally anticipated this as well. No matter what Wang Canghai chose afterward, Zhang Lin would simply meet force with force and water with earth. Besides, the Second Archaeological Team wasn't made of clay.

They would certainly use their own methods to directly stop him. Moreover, given the state Su Nan from the Second Archaeological Team had shown, she probably wouldn't directly clash with Yang Lu head-on.

Su Nan didn't have that kind of courage. In the past, without so much understanding of the Second Archaeological Team, Su Nan might truly have chosen to resolve things in the most direct way.

After all, the Wang family people had always operated in this manner in all the tombs. But as things developed, when she saw through the livestream the Second Archaeological Team's performance in the tombs.

Su Nan understood that her arrival could only take a gentle approach. If she showed even the slightest bit of aggression, the final result would certainly be a crushing defeat. Yang Lu might even, just like earlier, directly smash a Vajra Umbrella at her head. That was not the outcome Su Nan wanted to see.

In her设想, the best outcome was both saving Wang Cen's life and preserving her own. If the latter couldn't be achieved, she would lean toward the former as much as possible. All of this came from her genuine feelings for Wang Cen.

Now the most anxious one was actually Wang Cen from the First Archaeological Team, because he couldn't find signal in the mountains and couldn't watch the livestream. According to his thinking, Su Nan would definitely answer his call.

After all, that mysterious person had already given him assurance.

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

Whenever he made a promise or spoke, one could always see some signs. Otherwise, he would absolutely never make such a choice.

As long as this point was understood, Wang Cen could act without scruple. He hoped that after contacting Su Nan, he could use the method he had previously thought of—namely, applying a reverse pressure on Su Nan—to make Su Nan even more disheartened with him.

Under this premise, Su Nan should make the most subjective choice, that is, completely leaving the current Second Archaeological Team and also cutting off contact with that mysterious person.

This way, Wang Cen could act without scruple, and Su Nan could also preserve her life. This was definitely killing two birds with one stone.
