Chapter 745

But it is too late.

That energy poured down wildly.

Luo En and the others were instantly surrounded by that energy.

The junior brother's face was filled with panic; he said.

"What should we do?"

He clutched that turbid energy tightly.

At that moment, the elder slowly walked over and said.

"There is a way to leave here."

The junior brother looked at the elder with hopeful eyes; he said.

"What method do you have? Tell us quickly; let us escape together."

Chapter 68, Method

A faint smile appeared on the elder's face.

But Luo En felt a bad premonition.

The elder chuckled and said.

"Hand over your turbid energy, and I'll let you go."

The junior brother froze, staring at the elder in surprise.

"Elder, don't joke around—we're all trapped here."

Luo En said coldly.

"I never thought you'd turn on us too."

Only then did the junior brother realize; he stared at the elder in terror.

"This… this can't be true? Why would you do this?"

The elder said.

"Don't you understand yet? With this turbid energy,

I will possess supreme power.

What it can grant me exceeds what all others have ever given me.

I can abandon everyone, but I cannot lose that power."

He extended his hand.

"Hand over the turbid energy, or you may never see tomorrow's sun."

The junior brother clutched the turbid energy tightly; he said.

"I won't give it up."

At that moment, the energy began to grow wildly agitated.

Luo En could sense that all the energy was controlled by the elder.

The opponent's power was immensely strong—he could control so much energy effortlessly.

Luo En said.

"If you seek greater power,

don't you know that in this world there exists a force of immense strength?

But very few can truly obtain it."

The elder looked at Luo En in surprise; he said.

"Where is this force you speak of?"

Luo En said.

"This force usually hides in an extremely unremarkable place.

Few ever notice it.

But if you find it, you will become the strongest person in this world."

Luo En could see the elder's eyes suddenly brighten.

Clearly, the elder was deeply intrigued by the force Luo En described.

Luo En knew he had won the gamble.

It seemed the elder's hunger for power had reached near-insane levels.

Luo En said.

"I can make a deal with you."

The elder frowned slightly.

"You have no right to negotiate with me."

Luo En said.

"Don't you want to know where that place is?"

The elder looked at Luo En skeptically; he said.

"If you truly know where it is, why would you leave me a share?"

Luo En shook his head with a smile; he said.

"You're very clever, but you don't understand human nature."

The elder stared at Luo En in surprise; he seemed eager to hear what Luo En would say next.

Luo En said.

"If such a powerful force truly exists—

It certainly won't be easy to obtain; a certain price must be paid.

But I am a rather indecisive person.

So I do not wish to pay that corresponding price."

The elder said.

"If one can obtain such powerful energy,

paying some price is understandable.

Tell me, where exactly is that place?"

Luo En said.

"I will tell you where that place is, if you help me destroy the Murky Qi."

The elder furrowed his brows tightly.

Luo En could see he was deeply conflicted.

The Murky Qi was right before him, a power he had already seized, one he could control.

But it was clear he was more intrigued by the unknown energy.

Luo En said.

"Surely you understand that this world is filled with strange energies.

They will greatly enhance your strength.

The Murky Qi is merely a lowly energy.

It belongs to heretical paths.

Even if you possess this energy, you will feel no joy or happiness.

You will be controlled by these energies, not you controlling them."

The elder glared coldly at Luo En, his eyes carrying a warning tone.

Luo En smiled faintly; he did not care about the elder's gaze.

He continued.

"But that power is different.

It recognizes you.

You become its master, able to perfectly control it.

And you gain all the benefits it bestows upon you."

The elder was indeed tempted; he said,

"But what if you deceive me?"
