Old Zifu’s face was solemn as he said, "Tangyu, my young friend, have you really decided? You must be clear about the disaster such a decision could bring. There’s a saying that goes ’there’s money to take, but no life to spend,’ without sufficient strength, you can’t keep the South Sea Immortal Order. Don’t let montary obsession cost you your life; it wouldn’t be worth it."
Tangyu curled his lips, looking indifferent, and said, "Thanks for the reminder, Old Zifu, but you’re right, without enough power you can’t keep the South Sea Immortal Order, so I think I’m okay." After saying this, Tangyu turned and left directly, leaving Old Zifu and the three others looking at each other speechless.
"..."
Not until Tangyu’s figure completely disappeared from their sight did Old Zifu shake his head with a bit of frustration, "Brash and young, indeed. Young calves aren’t afraid of tigers, it seems."
A thin old man flashed a gleam of malevolence in his eyes, "Hmph, such ignorance and arrogance from a youngster, it’s best to just kill him. If we can seize a South Sea Immortal Order for the sect, it will be a great contribution. Maybe there will be so rewards from above, which might give us a chance to advance further. This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity for us. Should we let it go?"
Another old man was also full of killing intent, "Yes, we absolutely can’t give up, act now before many people notice, strike directly. If it’s a bit later, it might lead to complications. The great powers of the sect are already rushing over; as long as we obtain the South Sea Immortal Order, no one will dare to seize it. Old Zifu, strike!"
Old Zifu’s face was full of solemnity, hesitating whether to act, but he shook his head, "Our Gambling Stone Workshop thrives on reputation, let’s wait for others to act first and then seize it back. This way, we won’t be criticized."
But Old Zifu’s words didn’t have any effect; the two old n exchanged a glance and rushed out. Old Zifu wanted to stop them but it was too late. This turn of events made Old Zifu frown and shake his head. Such affairs are bound to cause chaos, and in this chaos, nobody knows what might happen. In any case, the South Sea Sect is bound to get involved; actually, whether or not to act now doesn’t have a major impact.
Of course, there will certainly be so impact on reputation.
But there’s a solution for that.
Seeing Tangyu ca out, Tuoba Kui approached with so tension, asking, "Did you make a deal with the Gambling Stone Workshop?"
Tangyu ca out and scanned his surroundings, noticing many malicious gazes and quite a number of hidden cultivators with strong auras. These people have co quickly. Many of them stared at Tangyu with sinister eyes like a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pounce for a bite of Tangyu. Every gaze flickered with malice and killing intent, making the atmosphere here extrely tense, suppressive, and eerie, even at the Gambling Stone Platform, no one was buying or cutting stones anymore, everyone was focused on Tangyu.
The intensity of these gazes was enough to make people’s hair stand and hearts skip.
Xiao Yu’s five companions were also subjected to these eyes, making their whole bodies cold and drenched in cold sweat, their faces pale. Even speaking seed difficult. They could only worryingly look at Tangyu. Their strength was too weak; if these people decided to act against them, they were clearly dood.
Regarding Tuoba Kui’s concern, Tangyu curled his lips into a smile, just about to answer, when he sensed two waves of killing intent rushing out from the Gambling Stone Workshop, making Tangyu furrow his brows in anger.
"Die!" The two sinisterly cruel town elders from the Gambling Stone Workshop charged forward, aiming to kill Tangyu in one strike, swiftly and decisively, not giving Tangyu any chance to breathe.
Tangyu’s eyes flashed with a sharpness as he charged forward directly, and quickly said to Tuoba Kui, "Protect them, move quickly to the side, don’t get involved in this." This was said with a tone so firm that Tuoba Kui couldn’t doubt it in the slightest. Hearing Tangyu’s tone, Tuoba Kui was slightly stunned, feeling as if Tangyu had transford into soone else, sowhat unfamiliar. However, he knew right now was extrely dangerous, and indeed it wasn’t a place to linger.
He was at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, so he wasn’t afraid, but Xiao Yu’s five companions were only at the Golden Core Realm First Layer; if they were affected by the slightest shockwave of energy, it would be fatal for them. Therefore, without any hesitation, Tuoba Kui quickly moved Xiao Yu and the others away from there, away from the battlefield, ensuring the fights didn’t involve them.
"Tangyu, be careful!" Xiao Yu and the five others, eyes red, were extrely concerned for Tangyu.
Tangyu directly engaged, facing two opponents, and with one sword strike, astonishingly forced the two Golden Core Realm Eighth Layer cultivators back. So stones in the Gambling Stone Workshop were also shaken and many stones exploded directly. From this explosion, several spiritual objects were indeed revealed. But at this mont, no one paid attention to the spiritual objects. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Tangyu, though for the ti being, no one acted. At this mont, touching one thing affected everything.
The battle was about to erupt.
The shadowy figures hidden in the dark also stepped out; surrounding the entire Gambling Stone Workshop were powerful cultivators. Those with weaker strength quickly moved away, knowing a major battle was about to unfold.
anwhile, the news spread rapidly across the South Sea Fairy Island, with many powerful cultivators rushing over, shaking the entire island.
The faces of the two elders from the Gambling Stone Workshop turned even darker and uglier. They initially thought that, given their strength, dealing with a re young man in his early twenties was a piece of cake, an easy kill, and they could seize the South Sea Immortal Order, thus earning great rit. How could they possibly give up such a rare opportunity?
Therefore, this ti they decided to go all out, even if it ant damaging the reputation of the Gambling Stone Workshop. They believed such an accomplishnt would surely outweigh any missteps, and they expected so rewards in return. Such rewards were worth fighting for.
Tangyu sneered at the two elders furiously and said, "Hmph, so this is how untrustworthy the people of the Gambling Stone Workshop are? What reputation across the world—it’s all bullshit. In the face of absolute interests, you turn into mad dogs. I’ve already handed the South Sea Immortal Order to your Gambling Stone Workshop, yet you still refuse to let off, wanting to kill to silence . It’s truly despicable and hateful."
Tangyu’s outburst was well perford, imdiately shifting everyone’s attention to the two elders. Tangyu’s performance was one aspect; in truth, there was another crucial reason why the crowd was inclined to believe him. In today’s scenario, unless they were fools, they wouldn’t refuse cooperation with the Gambling Stone Workshop. With the Workshop’s worldwide reputation, it was indeed odd for these two elders to suddenly set an assassin on Tangyu.
Thus, as Tangyu spoke, everyone’s focus naturally shifted.
The two elders were infuriated by Tangyu’s accusations, their faces flushing red, and they roared angrily, "Brat, you’re courting death!"
Tangyu continued to incite the crowd’s emotions, "Aren’t you intending to seize the South Sea Immortal Order? Act quickly before the great powers of the South Sea Sect arrive, or no one will have a chance. The South Sea Sect claims to be an Immortal Sect—pah! Nothing but hypocrites. Reputation across the world—pah! How shaless to even ntion it. Such actions tarnish the na of the South Sea Immortal Sect. Such scoundrels are ant to be killed. The South Sea Immortal Order has already been forcibly seized by them, I am but a victim as well."
Tangyu wasn’t actually afraid of these people, he just didn’t want to reveal his strength too early.
Moreover, dealing with these two elders by using others was more satisfying. So, Tangyu decided to pull this stunt. If others are unkind, then Tangyu won’t be righteous either.
Watching from a distance, Tuoba Kui observed Tangyu. He didn’t quite believe what Tangyu was saying now; from the mont Tangyu stepped out with that calm expression, Tuoba Kui knew things weren’t that simple. Seeing Tangyu act out like this, he imdiately guessed that Tangyu intended to use others to deal with the people from the Gambling Stone Workshop. This trick, undeniably clever, earned Tuoba Kui’s silent admiration.
It seems this ti will indeed turn the world upside down.
A single South Sea Immortal Order can indeed trigger such upheaval. However, what worried Tuoba Kui was whether Tangyu could survive this turmoil. Even as a great power of the Zifu Realm, there might not be certainty in preserving his life.
To be honest, Tuoba Kui also coveted this South Sea Immortal Order, but he doubted he could keep it if it fell into his hands. Unless he imdiately notified the great powers of his Eastern Island, there might be a chance to secure it. Otherwise, in the face of these frantic cultivators, it would bring nothing but disaster. Those who obtain the South Sea Immortal Order would undoubtedly keep it a secret, not letting anyone else know. Once such news leaked, it would certainly spell disaster.
"Kill!" Finally, soone was incited by Tangyu and charged at the two elders from the Gambling Stone Workshop.
With soone leading the charge, naturally others responded, and suddenly hundreds of cultivators rushed towards them. Witnessing this scene, the two elders’ faces turned dramatically pale, blood drained, as they were frightened out of their wits. Though they were in the Golden Core Realm Eighth Layer, how could they resist a joint force of several hundred cultivators? Moreover, among those cultivators, the weaker ones were in the Golden Core Realm Fifth or Sixth Layer, while the stronger ones even reached the Seventh or Eighth Layer. So, in panic, they desperately retreated.
Simultaneously, they shouted anxiously, "You’ve all been fooled; the South Sea Immortal Order is still with that brat, we haven’t taken it, otherwise we wouldn’t try to kill him for the order."
But at this point, who would listen?
Instead, those whom Tangyu hadn’t incited watched him with sinister glances, among them the Six Wolves Cave Master. Besides him, there were over ten formidable cultivators, each in the Golden Core Realm Eighth or Ninth Layer. Apart from these individuals, more than a hundred Golden Core Realm Eighth or Ninth Layer cultivators erged from the shadows. The situation clearly illustrated the current predicant. None of them hurriedly took action, knowing whoever did would naturally beco the common target.
The weaker cultivators entertained re greed for the South Sea Immortal Order; even if it was in their possession, they couldn’t protect it.
