Chapter 1131: Chapter 1133: Mutual Restraint
Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu exchanged a glance, then prepared to go down and investigate.
Looking at the various equipnt at the cave entrance, Chu Ge calculated that Gao Weijie had already gone down, so they needed to hurry.
Just as they were about to go down, suddenly urgent footsteps ca from behind.
"Chu Ge! It is indeed you!"
Chu Ge turned around and saw Zhang Ze standing not far behind them. He was slightly stunned; logically, with Zhang Ze’s martial arts skills, he shouldn’t be able to shake off that group so quickly.
Not to ntion that Zhang Ze was still soone with a disability, yet he managed to get rid of those people so quickly, which surprised him.
However, soon another group of people arrived, the team that was in a contest with Zhang Ze’s group.
Chu Ge was a bit astonished. Had these people reached a consensus?
No! With Zhang Ze’s aloof personality, he would absolutely not compromise with his enemies!
"You’ve co quite fast." Chu Ge coldly eyed him, huffing.
"Chu Ge, why are you everywhere?!"
Zhang Ze exclaid in agitation. He was no match for Chu Ge when he was in full health, let alone now.
"I also want to ask you, you’re stirring up trouble on Huaxia’s territory, what exactly do you intend to do?"
At this ti, the other group exchanged glances, the leader’s eyes inspecting Chu Ge with a scrutinizing look, while a quiet voice ca from behind, "Boss, what should we do next? From their look, it seems these two have a grudge."
"Yes, boss, should we just go down directly?"
The leader gently shook his head, "Soone has already gone down, we need not take further risks, let’s just wait for them to bring the sword up to us."
"Good idea, boss!"
"So what should we do now? We can’t just wait around, right?"
"I don’t think they’ll start fighting anyti soon over there; maybe it’s better to watch the situation unfold. Who knows, we might benefit as well!"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
The leader nodded slightly, then signaled the others to retreat about two ters away, maintaining a distance.
Chu Ge glanced at them, a touch of a cold smile curling at his lips; wanting to watch the show from the sidelines? Hmph, that depends if they’re willing!
"Now is not the ti to act."
Jian Chunqiu said in a lowered voice to Chu Ge.
"Why?" Chu Ge asked.
"Everyone needs to conserve their strength and wait until the Demon Sword appears. Then, each will rely on their own skills to vie for it. But if we engage with them now, even if we remain uninjured, our Primordial Energy will be depleted."
Chu Ge pondered for a mont; Jian Chunqiu was right—it was indeed not the ti for conflict now.
anwhile, Zhang Ze also seed to realize this; they stood their ground without moving, but remained vigilant.
Three groups ford a triangular stand-off by the cave entrance, waiting for those below to bring up the Demon Sword.
Yet after waiting for quite a while, none of them saw Gao Weijie co back up.
Among them, one group started to get restless, "Boss, what should we do? Are we just going to keep doing this?"
The leader furrowed his brow, his gaze darting back and forth between Zhang Ze and Chu Ge, unable to resist cursing under his breath, damn it! Are they going to fight or not!
"Boss, waiting like this isn’t a solution either, what if there’s no one down there?"
His words reminded the leader; he imdiately stood up, as if sothing had dawned on him, rushing toward the cave entrance.
Because of his actions, Zhang Ze’s team quickly beca alert, closely following him forward. If they intended to go down, they had to stick close behind, they couldn’t afford to lag.
In contrast, Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu leisurely remained above, their eyes coolly observing the group rush to the cave entrance and peer downwards.
The cave entrance was very dark, nothing could be seen inside, only an elevator could be spotted.
"Boss, it seems soone really did go down there? Look, the elevator is at the bottom."
"I see it!" The leader glared at his companion irritably, then walked back to his original spot.
Zhang Ze saw those people return, and reluctantly headed back.
After the leader sat down, a sense of agitation gnawed at his chest, he lifted his hand to fan himself.
"Boss, feeling hot?"
Soone saw him fanning himself and couldn’t resist stepping forward to ask.
"No shit! Would I be fanning myself if I wasn’t hot?"
The leader’s tone was sharp, but the person he yelled at also seed to get riled up.
"I talked to you out of respect! Thinking you’re all that, huh? Damn it, you really think you’re sothing!"
Chu Ge raised his eyes, a bit surprised at the scene, "Why are they fighting amongst themselves?"
Jian Chunqiu furrowed his brow slightly, then realized sothing and asked, "Did you hold your breath when you went up there just now?"
Chu Ge nodded, "Yes, although there’s no smoke now, it’s still a cave, there must be poisonous fus lingering in the air."
"I think these people might not have held their breath, they also went to take a look at the cave entrance, they’re probably poisoned now."
With the invasion of poisonous fus, their minds start to falter.
Chu Ge pondered for a mont, then saw those people exchanging blows.
On the other side, Zhang Ze was even more astonished at this scene.
He rembered that before he ca, the East Emperor Pavilion Master told him that the air definitely contained poisonous fus, which would have no effect on his body, but would be irreparably harmful to the East Emperor Pavilion Master’s side.
And the people Zhang Ze brought had taken dicine given by the East Emperor Pavilion Master before coming, the effects lasting only four hours, which hadn’t worn off yet, so they were fine.
But the other team wasn’t as lucky; invaded by poisonous fus, their minds were in chaos, easily provoked by a single word, even resorting to violence.
Their own mbers started fighting among themselves, completely oblivious to what was happening.
Chu Ge quietly watched, feeling it wasn’t a solution to keep waiting, so he said in a lowered voice to Jian Chunqiu: "Uncle Jian, should we go down and take a look directly?"
Jian Chunqiu lightly shook his head, "We still don’t know what’s happening underground, nor how many teams have gone down. If we go down rashly, we’ll likely be attacked from both sides, which isn’t a wise choice."
Although combined, their power would certainly surpass these others, they’ve never truly seen the might of the Demon Sword, a slight misstep could make them targets.
"Even though everyone is watching each other closely now, mutual containnt ans there won’t be any major actions."
