Chapter 786

This castle is indeed filled with treasures.

And many places hide extremely powerful artifacts.

This guy is truly formidable.

He can sense such hidden treasures.

The castle's restrictions were meant to prevent the artifacts' aura from leaking out.

But I never expected him to break through these restrictions and find the treasures.

Luo En was greatly surprised; he looked at the man.

The man put on an innocent expression and said.

"I can indeed sense the presence of these treasures.

So will you spare me?"

Luo En nodded and said.

"I can certainly spare you.

But since you broke into my residence,

you must pay a price.

If I simply let you go without consequence,

what face would we have?"

The man stared at Luo En in astonishment and said.

"Then what will you do with me?"

Luo En thought for a moment and said.

"I'll give you a chance.

You were being hunted outside.

If you leave now, it's still a dead end.

But if you stay here, you can escape those hunters.

The place is filled with countless mirrors.

Ordinary people cannot detect the castle's location.

But you must work for me.

What do you say?"

Luo En looked at the man and noticed his eyes brighten.

The man seemed to be seriously considering Luo En's proposal.

After a moment, the man nodded and said.

"I agree to this."

A smile curled at Luo En's lips.

He said.

"Perfect."

He then untied the man.

The man rubbed his aching arms and said.

"I never thought those bastards would try to wipe me out completely.

When they first captured me, they wanted to force me to reveal the treasure's location.

I told them.

But even then, they still attacked me."

Luo En frowned slightly and said.

"Who exactly are these people?"

The man said.

"I don't know their identities.

But one of them has a scar across his face.

They all looked like ruthless brutes.

Probably bandits from some remote place."

Luo En said.

"What treasure were they looking for?"

The man said.

"It seemed to be a jade pendant.

Rumor says this jade pendant contains a cultivation technique.

But very few have ever actually seen it.

I exerted every ounce of effort just to sense its presence.

Yet I never expected these bastards to break their word and betray me like this."

As he spoke, the man grew visibly indignant.

Luo En said.

"Enough. I'll help you.

But you must help me too."

The man looked at Luo En with hope and said.

"As long as you can let me survive.

No matter what you ask, I will agree to it."

Luo En looked at the man with some surprise.

Yet he could sense that the man truly seemed to be at his wits' end.

Luo En nodded and said.

"Actually, I'm also being hunted right now.

Looking at it this way, we are fellow sufferers bound by the same fate."

A look of terror immediately appeared on the man's face.

He leapt up in one bound.

"Then I'd better take my leave."

Saying this, he hurriedly tried to leave.

But Luo En blocked his path.

Luo En said.

"I told you earlier, this is a mix of kindness and authority on my part.

Letting you stay here to escape the calamity.

At the same time, it's also a punishment for you.

You must do things for me."

The man looked at Luo En very nervously, and he said.

"Who exactly are the people hunting you?"

Luo En shook his head, and he said.

"I don't know their identities either.

But I heard they are sect leaders of some major sects and the like."

Hearing this, the man's face grew even uglier, and he said.

"The people hunting you are this powerful — do we even have a way out?

Working by your side is no different from being dead."

Luo En slightly furrowed his brow, and he said.

"You are very safe here.

Look at me — aren't I living just fine right now?"

The man looked at Luo En's appearance.

He nodded half-believingly, then said again.
