Chapter 321

321. Chapter 321: Frequent Accidents

"I really only took two Earth Spirit Fruits! How many times do I have to say it for you to believe me!"

Shui Juanyun was burning with anxiety; this was no place to stay for long. The longer he dragged this out, the greater the chance of being discovered, and he truly did not want to remain in this stalemate.

"Still playing dumb! You're clearly determined not to care whether our brothers live or die!"

The leading old man clenched his fists, his face twisted as he said, "I'll ask you one last time! Are you going to hand them over, or not!"

Shui Juanyun suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood.

At this moment, Long Xuan was quietly watching the show from the sidelines.

His calculations were very precise; he had intentionally not mentioned how many Earth Spirit Fruits were on the tree, leading this group to mistakenly believe that Shui Juanyun had taken all thirty-five of them.

This way, once a conflict broke out between the two sides, everyone would besiege Shui Juanyun, and no one would pay any attention to him.

Once the chaotic battle began, Shui Juanyun would have to bear the brunt of all the firepower, allowing him to slip away calmly.

This group of old men would likely ignore him; at most, one or two might attack him, which wouldn't affect him at all.

"I swear on my Heart Demon! I only took two Earth Spirit Fruits. If I took even one more, may I die a horrible death and never enter reincarnation! Are you satisfied now!"

Forced into a corner with no other choice, Shui Juanyun had to grit his teeth and swear a poisonous oath.

Swearing a poisonous oath on one's Heart Demon carried a certain binding force; once broken, it would trigger the Heart Demon, creating difficulties for future breakthroughs.

Of course, this trick had significant limitations and didn't work on everyone; the more demonic a person was, the more they could ignore the effects of breaking an oath.

However, how could Long Xuan let him resolve the situation?

If these people really found out there were only three Earth Spirit Fruits in total, then with so many people and so little to go around, he would inevitably be drawn into the siege.

So, he immediately took out his most ruthless Gu worm, placed it on his shoulder, and said helplessly:

"Brother Shui, let's just admit it. You should understand that it's impossible to walk out of here without handing over thirty Earth Spirit Fruits. People need to learn to let go."

"Contentment brings happiness. Anyway, I'm satisfied with just getting one Earth Spirit Fruit."

After saying this, Long Xuan shook his head and walked outward, completely ignoring the dumbfounded Shui Juanyun behind him.

He knew that by doing this, his identity would certainly be exposed; as long as Shui Juanyun wasn't stupid, he would definitely recognize that he was Long Xuan.

But if he recognized him, so be it. Anyway, his Transformation Gu could change into another person's appearance at any time. At worst, he would just change his disguise again, ensuring Shui Juanyun wouldn't recognize him the next time they met!

"Damn it, you're stubborn to the end. I see you've really been playing us for fools!"

"Would it kill you, you miser, to share some Earth Spirit Fruits with us? A person shouldn't be so selfish!"

"Since you don't care whether we old men live or die, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Attack together, we'll take them from his corpse!"

The leading old man was furious. Seeing this person was so unyielding, he finally lost all patience and charged viciously toward Shui Juanyun.

The other old men also flared up in anger, one after another bypassing Long Xuan and charging toward Shui Juanyun with twisted expressions.

Just as Long Xuan had anticipated, Shui Juanyun attracted all the firepower, and not a single person attacked him.

He just smiled like that and calmly left the secret chamber.

Leaving the people behind him to fight to the death.

"I'll screw your ancestors, Long Xuan! May you die a horrible death!"

From behind came Shui Juanyun's voice, sounding as if he were about to explode with rage.

He had actually been tricked by that damn Honesty Gu once again.

At this point, how could he not see that this person who had been calling him brother on the road was none other than the Long Xuan he had been wanting to kill all along.

He had truly been deceived so bitterly.

Thinking about how he had wanted to join forces with him to kill Long Xuan, he became so ashamed and angry that he felt like vomiting blood.

When had he ever been played like this before?

However, he had no time to chase after his mortal enemy who had already run out; he was currently being besieged by thirty Gu cultivators of the same rank.

Long Xuan, that insidious bastard, had slipped out easily, and he was in big trouble today.

After walking out of the secret passage, Long Xuan curled his lips, changed into the clothes of a Teng Clan Gu cultivator, transformed into the appearance of a certain Teng Clan Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator, and left gracefully.

The plan was quite perfect; a Hundred Li Talisman had been saved.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber, Shui Juanyun was in constant danger under the siege of a crowd of Essence Refining peak experts.

One had to know that he had lost a large number of top-grade Gu worms after dying once, and his combat power was severely damaged; he was no longer the Shui Juanyun he once was.

In his prime, he wouldn't have even looked at these thirty people.

But now, he simply couldn't handle the siege of thirty Essence Refining peak Gu cultivators.

"Kid! One last chance! Hand over the Earth Spirit Fruits!" the leading old man shouted angrily, his eyes red.

"I don't have them, damn it!" Shui Juanyun said, exasperated.

"Still daring to talk back! Tell me, should I believe you or the Honesty Gu!"

"Since you value wealth over your life, then leave your life here!"

"I want to see just how tough your mouth can be."

The leading old man's expression turned fierce, and he accelerated his attack on Shui Juanyun.

Shui Juanyun was in constant danger under his frantic attacks.

He was extremely anxious, knowing that this matter could not be explained no matter what.

A major battle here would likely attract the attention of the people above. If he dragged this out, even if he wasn't killed by this group, he would be killed by the Teng Clan Gu cultivators outside.

Finally, his eyes turned fierce, and he gritted his teeth, actually throwing out the two Earth Spirit Fruits he had just obtained.

The appearance of the two Earth Spirit Fruits, unsurprisingly, caused chaos among the crowd.

The suddenly appearing Earth Spirit Fruits made most people subconsciously reach for them, thereby ignoring the siege on Shui Juanyun.

Thus, a gap instantly appeared in the encirclement around him, and he seized this rare opportunity to instantly escape from the encirclement.

In order to escape the danger as quickly as possible, he had actually given up even the two Earth Spirit Fruits he had just obtained; he could be considered to have gone all out.

However, accidents happened frequently, and even though he gave up wealth to save his life, he still failed to escape the danger.

The one who snatched the Earth Spirit Fruits was a black-robed old man known for his speed; he had actually snatched both Earth Spirit Fruits by himself and even killed a companion.

"Hahaha... the Earth Spirit Fruits have powerful medicinal effects; two are enough for me to break through."

"You guys have fun here, I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, the black-robed old man tore up a talisman, and then, amidst a spatial fluctuation, his entire person vanished into thin air.

However, the moment he vanished, he actually threw a small metal ball toward the Earth Spirit Tree.

After this small metal ball landed on the ground, it instantly exploded. The explosion was deafening, the entire secret chamber was shaking, and sand and gravel from above were falling continuously.

And the Earth Spirit Tree at the center of the explosion was directly burned to ashes by the flames produced by the explosion; not even a single branch was left.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene behind him, Shui Juanyun's face turned pale.

With such a commotion, anyone above who wasn't deaf could hear it. The group of them still in the secret chamber was in big trouble.

This person had clearly already obtained the Earth Spirit Fruits and had already escaped, yet he still had to be spiteful and destroy someone else's Earth Spirit Tree.

What was he after! What good did doing this do for him! Was it just for fun?

He would rather waste an expensive Sky-Shaking Thunder just to satisfy his own perverted psychology?

Not only did he want to destroy the Teng Clan's roots, but he also wanted to screw everyone here. Such a spiteful person truly deserved to die!

Shui Juanyun clenched his fists, nearly driven mad with rage. (End of chapter)
