Chapter 208: The Bandit's Reason

Mo Zhang Wang slipped away, and Shi Fei and his group retreated.

Sun Zuo had already been captured, he had already extracted Grey Master's whereabouts, and Sun Zuo's men had also already been killed by Wu Tie.

The Wu Family's grudge has already been mostly avenged.

Golden Death Spirits……will surely be unable to continue existing in the future, Lao Dao Feng will certainly not let their remaining personnel go.

Wu Tie no longer needed to stay in the Great Serpent's Lair, he already had the thought of leaving.

But before he could take any action, Lao Dao Feng and his six most die-hard Life Pool Realm confidants, along with the numerous experts of Blood Saber, plus a batch of Blood Saber elites, had already surrounded Wu Tie inside and out.

Thirty thousand Wolf-Head Human Warriors came trampling on the black sandstorm, howling as they came, quickly surrounding this small area to an airtight extent.

These pitch-black Wolf-Head Human Warriors surged from all directions, the black sandstorm blocked the sky, black silhouettes flickered faintly high above, the black sandstorm clung to the ground and rolled over, winding around Wu Tie's legs.

The black sand was very heavy, very viscous, and moreover chilling to the bone.

Wu Tie felt his feet as if stuck in a mire, his body stiff and hard to move. The sandstorm kicked up by those Wolf-Head Human Warriors actually also had the effect of restraining enemies.

"Chief." Wu Tie narrowed his eyes at Lao Dao Feng: "What does this mean?"

"Qiang Ye, I don't want this either. But I have to think about my brothers," Lao Dao Feng laughed extraordinarily brightly, his gaunt, knife-scarred face flushed red, looking exceptionally spirited.

"Take a look, that young man who can spew poison mist, with blond hair and blue eyes, might be connected to the minions of Da She Yi who attacked today," Lao Dao Feng sighed: "His supernatural abilities are strange, his power immense, yet his movements are mysterious; we have to guard against him."

"But, Qiang Ye, do you know him?" Lao Dao Feng continued shaking his head and sighing: "How could we not suspect..."

Wu Tie snorted coldly: "Suspect what?"

Niu Man said from the side in a muffled voice: "You're a spy."

Tang Qi extended both hands, eight thin blades flickered rapidly between his fingers, bringing forth fine glints of cold light: "Qiang Ye, your appearance is too timely—we Blood Saber were about to fight to the death with Golden Death Spirits, and here you are."

Lao Dao Feng gave a false smile while looking at Wu Tie: "Hey, hey, we're all brothers, don't say these distant words… Although, Qiang Ye's arrival at our Blood Saber is too coincidental, but I believe Qiang Ye is not a spy, right?"

Shaking his head, Lao Dao Feng put on a very enthusiastic, trusting appearance: "I think Qiang Ye came to our Blood Saber also wanting to help us, sincerely wishing to join us…… but, that youth who spews poison mist……"

Shaking his head, Lao Dao Feng forcefully slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet hard, and nodded firmly.

"Goodness, what nonsense am I spouting? Who doesn't have a few friends? Who doesn't have some martial world connections? Right? Knowing some extraordinary people is a good thing, a good thing!"

"Qiang Ye, I believe you, you will certainly not do anything harmful to our Blood Saber, right?" Lao Dao Feng stared wide-eyed, solemn and extremely serious in his gaze at Wu Tie, his eyes blazing with trust and fervor.

Wu Tie remained silent, then nodded.

He joined Blood Saber, although he intended to use Blood Saber's strength to deal with Golden Death Spirits, but he truly had no ill will toward Blood Saber.

Although it is said that the conflict between Blood Saber and Golden Death Spirits was caused by a bounty he posted.

But if Wu Tie hadn't added that bounty, wouldn't Golden Death Spirits and Blood Saber still have deep hatred?

Therefore, Wu Tie fundamentally bears no ill will toward Blood Saber.

"Of course, I have no ill will toward Blood Saber, and I won't do anything to let down the brothers." Wu Tie said calmly: "As for the poison-mist-spewing Demon Chapter King, he is my friend—I admit that."

"He has old grudges with the Bodhi Clan that attacked—this I also admit." Wu Tie spread his hands: "But I never expected him to run into Bodhi Clan members here…… the Bodhi Clan members actually came all this way to attack the Black Serpent Domain."

Niu Man widened his eyes and roared: "You say you have no ill will, so you have no ill will? You say that Demon Chapter King and that Bodhi Clan have a grudge, so it's truly a grudge? The poison mist he spews could also be covering their attack on us!"

Wu Tie turned his head and glanced at Niu Man.

This guy is deliberately stirring up trouble.

"Niu Man, you're being unreasonable." Wu Tie frowned: "Demon Chapter King he……"

"I don't believe what you're saying." Niu Man rudely cut off Wu Tie's words, then turned to Tang Qi standing aside and asked: "Old Tang, what do you say?"

Tang Qi laughed extraordinarily brightly, then said leisurely: "Indeed, I also don't really believe…… how could things be so coincidental?"

A group of Blood Saber's high-ranking officials and experts shook their heads, each looking at Wu Tie with mockery and greed.

Wu Tie sighed, looked at Lao Dao Feng, and said helplessly: "Chief, if there's something, just lay it out plainly…… going around in circles…… letting a fool like Niu Man take the lead, don't you find it lackluster?"

Lao Dao Feng just laughed, gave a dry chuckle a few times, and blinked.

Niu Man, furious, let out a loud roar, stepped forward a step, and threw a punch at Wu Tie's head: "Am I a fool?"

Before throwing the punch, Niu Man's right arm trembled, the golden arm guard and hand guard on his arm flew off simultaneously, revealing a pitch-black, extremely developed cord of muscle. He shouted loudly: "Don't say I'm using equipment to bully you."

Wu Tie's bones were still radiating heat; the essence within a few Taotie Divine Weapons, he had likely digested and absorbed less than ten percent, his physique was still rapidly increasing, his bones were rapidly strengthening, and his physical strength was soaring.

With a 'pop,' Wu Tie's left hand shot up, emitting a muffled gas explosion, as if he had instantaneously appeared before Niu Man's fist.

Easily, his five fingers clamped onto Niu Man's huge fist.

Wu Tie's left hand five fingers slightly exerted force……

He had forgotten that his left hand's entire arm bones had completed mutation, and their strength was now rapidly increasing.

Everyone saw in horror that Wu Tie's left hand five fingers were like five tiny steel knives, easily cutting into Niu Man's fist.

Niu Man let out a shrill cry; his strong, sturdy fist was like a black strawberry, easily split apart by Wu Tie's fingers.

Blood spurted out instantly; Niu Man's fist, with a 'pop,' exploded in Wu Tie's hand.

"Sorry, I…… used a bit too much force." Wu Tie hastily released his hand and shook his left hand.

He wasn't being pretentious; he genuinely forgot about the abnormality of his left hand.

He also hadn't expected Niu Man's fist to be so 'fragile'.

He hadn't used much strength, so how did he end up destroying Niu Man's fist?

Niu Man howled as he stumbled backward, his left hand gripping his right wrist tightly, staunching the blood flow. He glared furiously at Wu Tie, regretting why he had taken off his arm guard and hand guard.

None of the Blood Saber high-ranking officials cared about Niu Man's injury.

Everyone stared at Wu Tie with the eyes of a vicious wolf.

Lao Dao Feng coughed, then said in a low voice: "Qiang Ye, before entering that ruin, you couldn't possibly have dealt with Niu Man so easily, could you?"

Wu Tie honestly nodded.

That's right; before entering Osiris's Slumbering Ground, he truly couldn't have easily dealt with Niu Man.

That's the truth.

But does Wu Tie have to tell Lao Dao Feng that the reason he could so easily deal with Niu Man is because his bones devoured the Taotie Crow's divine weapons?

It's quite obvious, cannot be said.

Lao Dao Feng's smile grew ever more brilliant; he spoke gently: 'Then, in those ruins, you must have gained great benefits.'

Wu Tie's mouth twitched as a bitter smile rose.

He didn't want to lie; he had indeed obtained enormous benefits inside.

Not mentioning his armor and boots, the Abundant Harvest Tree alone made Wu Tie's cultivation speed in the Primordial Scripture leap forward by leaps and bounds—this is truly a huge benefit.

Lao Dao Feng, with a lovable smile, extended his right hand to Wu Tie: 'Then, Spear Grandpa… we are all brothers of the same family; I also don't want to make things too ugly. Bring out the benefits you gained, and share them with the brothers.'

Wu Tie stared in astonishment at Lao Dao Feng, finally saying these words?

Lao Dao Feng smiled and said: 'I also won't go too far; your armor and these boots—we have rules, we won't take them… but the other things you obtained in those ruins, especially cultivation methods and such, must be handed over.'

Lao Dao Feng lightly sighed: 'In just a few days, you actually managed to so easily defeat the Ox Barbarian who was previously your equal… the cultivation inheritance you obtained is not simple… and you must also have obtained some miraculous treasure for quickly raising your strength.'

"Spirit medicine? Spirit fruit? Or ancient divine elixir? Or some other great fortune?" Lao Dao Feng looked at Wu Tie with a smiling gaze: "We are people who follow the rules; you… well, hand over all the treasures on your person that can hide things for us to inspect, and that will suffice."

"Of course, the cultivation method may not have a physical manual, or perhaps you've memorized it in your heart… so, please, Spear Grandpa, stay a while in the Blood Saber's guest quiet chamber, and speak out all the cultivation methods in your mind… those that meet our expectations; we will absolutely not endanger your safety, Spear Grandpa."

Lao Dao Feng looked earnestly at Wu Tie: 'These conditions are not excessive, right?'

Wu Tie blinked, his voice low: 'Chief, in those ruins, you all must have gained far more than I, right? Speaking of cultivation methods… heh, the progress made by the Chief and these six over these past days is obvious to all…'

The retinue of the Blood Saber quickly glanced at the blood-colored curved blade hovering above Lao Dao Feng's head.

Originally the blade was entirely blood-red, but now a faint black glimmer flickers at its edge, inexplicably giving an extremely terrifying feeling.

Indeed, Lao Dao Feng certainly obtained a cultivation inheritance in those ruins.

Those six masters of the Life Pool Realm who entered the ruins together with Lao Dao Feng likewise received inheritances; over these days, their aura gradually turned gloomy and terrifying—these changes, even their old acquaintances could tell at a glance.

"No, no, no…" Lao Dao Feng shook his head: "What's mine is mine; no one can take it—this is the rule of the Blood Saber."

Pointing at those six Life Pool Realm masters, Lao Dao Feng spoke solemnly: 'They are my old brothers of many years, my true steadfast confidants; therefore, I do not wish to take their belongings, nor can I.'

Lao Dao Feng pointed at Wu Tie and laughed: 'Only you, Spear Grandpa, as a newcomer, you bear suspicion of being a spy… well, well, I'm only saying you have suspicion, not that you are a spy… but since there is suspicion, why don't you produce something good to earn the brothers' trust?'

"Hand over all the fine treasures and cultivation methods you obtained in those ruins… wouldn't the brothers then stop doubting you? Wouldn't that show your sincere intent to join our Blood Saber?" Lao Dao Feng looked at Wu Tie passionately and sincerely.

"Hand it over, and we'll be family… from now on we'll eat meat in big chunks, drink wine in big bowls—how happy would that be?"

Lao Dao Feng laughed especially brightly: 'Look, so many brothers all want a good cultivation manual, and they also want some… better treasures… right?'

He looked at Wu Tie, full of expectation, and said: 'Spear Grandpa, you've also heard, those… the Bodhi Clan? Are they called the Bodhi Clan? They will return for revenge, they will return to seek vengeance.'

"You wouldn't want the Blood Saber's brothers to be wiped out by them, would you?"

"So, the Blood Saber's brothers need better cultivation methods and miraculous treasures to swiftly increase their strength."

"Spirit medicines, spirit herbs, divine pills, immortal elixirs—all are fine!"

Lao Dao Feng clapped his hands, looked seriously at Wu Tie, and said: 'If you give it… you are our own brother; if you don't give it… you haven't regarded yourself as one of the Blood Saber's own people… then don't blame us for not treating you as a brother!'

Wu Tie was dazed by Lao Dao Feng's endless twisted logic.

He stared blankly at Lao Dao Feng for a long while before his mind finally wrapped around it.

"If I don't give you my things, am I not your brother?" Wu Tie finally summed up Lao Dao Feng's meaning.

"Exactly! That's the reasoning!" Lao Dao Feng laughed especially brightly.

Wu Tie felt as if a mouthful of blood were stuck in his throat.

He gritted his teeth and said: 'But, you seven people…'

Lao Dao Feng looked at Wu Tie with utmost seriousness and said: 'I've said before, what's mine is mine; no one can take it… my six old brothers are my steadfast confidants; their belongings… I don't take them, nor can others covet them.'

After a sigh, Lao Dao Feng spoke seriously: 'So, Spear Grandpa… I've given you the chance… hand over what you obtained in those ruins, and from now on we'll truly be one family, brothers of the same household.'

"If you don't hand it over… you're not a brother of the family… you'd hurt the hearts of these brothers… you… you…" Lao Dao Feng closed his eyes, with a pained expression, and said: "You… you are truly a spy."

Wu Tie tightly shut his mouth.

Such reasoning, he actually found himself unable to refute.

He wanted to curse… but he was so angry he didn't even have the mood to scold.
