Chapter 3486: Chosen the Wrong Faction!

Within Mount Gai Jiuyou.

The relics left behind by Yunxiao and Taiyi had long been divided up; the depths of Gai Jiuyou no longer bore their former lush, verdant appearance.

This place was rarely visited by humans; most who wandered here were of the beast clans.

Since Daoist Duobao and Yangmei the Great Immortal had here attained their treasures, beast-clan beings had sought to find them—but all returned disappointed.

After several waves of promotion by the beast clans, fewer and fewer came.

This suited Gui Che and Fei Dan just fine.

Gui Che truly wished to search here for primordial magic treasures; he needed these treasures to sustain himself and to stand against the beast clans.

His alliance with Fei Dan was merely a temporary stratagem; as for anything else, Fei Dan believed that if the plan failed, it must never be spoken of.

"Gui Che, we've been here long enough—if we still find nothing, someone else may stumble upon it without us knowing, and then we'll have no way to explain it."

"It's still not time to break cover—we must remain cautious."

Fei Dan deeply regretted forming an alliance with Gui Che.

He never imagined Gui Che would become so deranged—and everything was tied to Gui Che; such madness had extinguished his own resolve.

"What's there to fear?"

"Fei Dan, if you fear the arrival of the Great Emperor of Beasts, there's no need—you needn't worry. The Great Emperor of Beasts has no interest in searching for treasures in Mount Gai Jiuyou right now."

Gui Che snorted coldly.

How could he possibly fear the Great Emperor of Beasts or Dong Huang Taiyi? Had they not held leverage over him, he would never have joined the beast clan.

Had Luo Fu the Saint been willing to take him in, he would have chosen to join Luo Fu the Saint's faction.

Unfortunately, Luo Fu the Saint chose the Witch Clan instead of the beast clan.

He did not hate Luo Fu the Saint—he hated the Witch Clan, loathed them with all his being; they had seized every advantage, and everything was tied to the Witch Clan.

Fei Dan understood his meaning, but said nothing else to him.

As long as Fei Dan truly meant this, there was no need to ask further—and even if they asked, it would be useless; it had little to do with them.

Ci Tie and Qin Yuan already knew all of this—so what?

Yet what difference was there between Ci Tie and Qin Yuan's thoughts and their own? Gui Che truly did not know; he only wished to draw near to Luo Fu the Saint.

If Luo Fu the Saint would only accept him as a disciple, all of this could be resolved.

But except for Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming, Luo Fu the Saint had taken no primordial being as a disciple—and this was why Gui Che had gone mad.

Must he now entangle himself with Sister Houtu or Sister Xuanming??

If entangling himself with them would let him meet Luo Fu the Saint and earn his acceptance as a disciple, then perhaps it wouldn't be impossible.

But alas, he could not even see Sister Houtu now, let alone Sister Xuanming.

None of these three were here, and Ancestor Minghe seemed to be searching for them as well.

If this were truly the case, they had previously scorned such actions; if they truly intended to act, they must have had other motives.

Such thoughts were utterly inappropriate for them.

At this point in his thoughts, Gui Che fell silent.

Fei Dan followed him onward; without Daoist Duobao, no one would have suspected Mount Gai Jiuyou held any treasure.

Now that they had come this far, it proved that Mount Gai Jiuyou indeed held treasure.

"Good!"

"To obtain these magic treasures, we must endure humiliation and hardship—everything waits until we have them in hand."
