Chapter 2490

Zhao Gongming merely nodded slightly; he had no intention of engaging in idle talk, but Daoist Randeng could not let him go—since there was someone familiar with the terrain, why not make use of him?

"If you can help us enter Gai Jiuyou Mountain and retrieve the Chaos Gourd, you will be a great contributor; I'm certain Ancestor Minghe will remember your great merit."

"Not necessary."

Zhao Gongming said coldly—he only didn't want to drag his sister into trouble; if he truly wished to enter Gai Jiuyou Mountain, he would have done so long ago, why wait for this opportunity?

Daoist Randeng glanced at Zhao Gongming and knew exactly what he was thinking; he snorted coldly.

"Don't think just because I'm speaking politely to you, you can push your luck—I'm telling you, Zhao Gongming, whether you come with us or not, you're coming with us!"

The Two Western Saints, hearing their exchange, felt Xiong Xiong rising within them.

But right now, it was more important to shake off the demonic beasts surrounding them—these beasts were too persistent.

It was precisely because of these beasts that they had fallen into this calamity!

All inhabitants of Honghuang possessed unique abilities; the Two Western Saints were no exception—they had their own secret arts, merely not yet revealed.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "I don't know what Ancestor Minghe will do, but right now, if we all enter Gai Jiuyou Mountain together, we probably won't be able to leave."

Hearing Zhao Gongming's laugh, Daoist Randeng grew even angrier.

"Tell me the truth!"

Before entering Gai Jiuyou Mountain, Ancestor Minghe had spoken to him about it—but had never mentioned that one could enter but never exit. Had Ancestor Minghe lied to him?

If he had lied, then Ancestor Minghe would have no one left to use now—this was impossible!

Thinking this, Daoist Randeng felt slightly reassured.

He believed this was merely Zhao Gongming's provocation—Zhao Gongming truly wanted to trap them all inside Gai Jiuyou Mountain!

The more he thought, the angrier Daoist Randeng became; he said: "Zhao Gongming, don't refuse the cup of wine and choose the punishment—I can take your life anytime!"

"Do as you please." Zhao Gongming said calmly.

If his death could bring peace to Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming had no objection to sacrificing himself.

He had already caused Yunxiao much trouble; this time, he did not wish to burden her further, so no matter what Daoist Randeng said, he remained unmoved.

The Two Western Saints were struggling to fend off the demonic beasts; seeing the two still bickering, Saint Jieyin could no longer bear it.

"The two of you, could you first find a way to fight these demon-beasts gone mad? If you want to argue, wait until we have a chance to escape—there's no rush."
