That's right, this is exactly what Yang Qi was curious about. One map of Dark Heavy Island was enough to satisfy the needs of three practitioners. If there were two maps, the two sides would not need to fight at all. As for one side getting two maps at once, the probability of this happening was pitifully small.
In other words, among the two groups of practitioners in front of them, only one actually possesses the map of Dark Island. Although Yang Qi can win no matter which side he joins, he will get the map in the end.
But now Yang Qi is more curious about which of the two parties in front of him holds the map of Dark Island!
"The map of Dark Island is in my hands." The man in fancy clothes spoke directly.
Um
Hearing the words of the man in fancy clothes, Yang Qi was obviously stunned for a moment, because the man in fancy clothes was the one who had the upper hand! Normally, if you want to kill someone and steal the treasure, you have to be sure that you are stronger than the other party before you make a move.
But now, the man in gorgeous clothes has the map of Dark Island, which means that the other side does not need to kill people to steal the treasure. The ones who want to kill people to steal the treasure are most likely the two men in gray-black robes on the opposite side, but their strength is obviously weaker than the two men in gorgeous clothes.
“Fellow Daoist, although the map of Anzhong Island is in their hands, as long as you join us, you can still get more maps of Anzhong Island. Besides, our strength is relatively weaker, so the threat to you is also smaller, isn’t it?” The man in the gray-black robe looked at Yang Qi and said.
Although they were the ones who were out to kill and rob the treasure, the man in the gray-black robe obviously didn't care. Instead, he further persuaded Yang Qi, hoping that Yang Qi could join them to deal with the two men in fancy clothes together and then kill and rob the treasure.
Yang Qi was just surprised that the two men in gray and black robes, who were not as strong as the man in fancy clothes, still chose to kill people for treasures. After all, this approach was tantamount to seeking death.
However, Yang Qi recovered quickly, looked at the man in the gray-black robe, and said calmly, "This emperor dislikes those practitioners who want to kill people and steal treasures the most!"
Um
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two men in gray-black robes changed slightly. They obviously did not expect that Yang Qi, a cultivator at the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor, would actually say such a thing.
You know, who hasn't said that the existence of the emperor level has been countless years, and such existence has experienced countless lives and deaths. Logically speaking, they should be very clear about the law of the jungle in the cultivation world. At this moment, they actually said such naive words. How could they not surprise the two men in gray-black robes
The man in the gray-black robe knew that Yang Qi had most likely chosen the side of the man in fancy clothes. His face suddenly darkened and he sneered, "Daoyou, why do you have to pretend to be a saint? I don't believe that you have never killed people to steal treasures!"
Treasures belong to the strong. This idea is shared by most practitioners, not to mention those who kill people to steal treasures. Even those who are killed to steal treasures think this way. Even if they are unwilling, they just feel that they are not strong enough to keep the treasures. They do not think that there is anything wrong with the other party's killing to steal treasures. The strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected. This is the most fundamental rule in the cultivation world.
"This emperor has indeed killed people for treasures." Yang Qi glanced at the man in the gray-black robe, and then continued, "But this emperor will never take the initiative to kill people for treasures!"
After hearing Yang Qi's words, not only the two men in gray-black robes, but also the two men in fancy clothes were slightly stunned. Before, everyone was somewhat disdainful of Yang Qi's rebuke of the two men in gray-black robes, but now Yang Qi's calm tone made everyone present understand that what Yang Qi said was very likely true.
"Hmph~"
The man in the gray-black robe snorted coldly, then looked at the two men in fancy clothes not far away and said, "You are lucky this time, let's go!"
As they were talking, the two men in gray and black robes were about to leave the battlefield and prepare to retreat. After all, with Yang Qi's help, the two of them could not be a match for the two men in fancy clothes, and they might even die here.
Now, while Yang Qi and the other two have not yet truly joined forces, choosing to retreat is undoubtedly the wisest approach.
However, the man in fancy clothes obviously did not intend to let the two men in gray and black robes leave. Therefore, after realizing that the two men were planning to retreat, he immediately looked at Yang Qi and said, "Daoyou, please lend us a hand. If these two escape and the map of Dark Heavy Island is leaked, there will be endless troubles."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two men in gray and black robes changed slightly. If Yang Qi really agreed with the man in fancy clothes and wanted to keep them, the other three people could indeed keep them here forever if they paid a certain price.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the man in fancy clothes, the expression of the man in gray-black robe suddenly changed, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes when he looked at Yang Qi.
As for begging for mercy, the man in the gray-black robe did not say it. After all, the man in the fancy clothes intended to kill them to silence them, so he would naturally not let them go easily. Even if he begged for mercy, it would be useless.
Yang Qi looked at the man in fancy clothes and said calmly, "I only agreed to join you and help you through this crisis, but I did not agree to help you kill people and silence them."
Yang Qi really didn't have any good feelings towards cultivators who killed people for treasures, but he wasn't to the point of wanting to kill them if he met them. Naturally, he wouldn't easily agree to the other party's practice of killing to silence them.
Hearing this, the man in fancy clothes couldn't help but look gloomy. He didn't expect that Yang Qi didn't intend to kill to silence the witness. Isn't the other party afraid that the map of Dark Island will be leaked
You have to know that Dark Heavy Island is such a precious place of opportunity that even practitioners at the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor or even at the peak of the Martial Emperor level are very interested in it. Once the news leaks out, they may have to face practitioners at the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor or even at the peak of the Martial Emperor level.
How could the three of them alone resist a cultivator at the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor level, or even a cultivator at the peak Martial Emperor level
The man in fancy clothes looked at Yang Qi and said with an extremely unpleasant expression, "Daoyou, do you know what the consequences will be if the news leaks out?"
"Of course this emperor knows." Yang Qi said calmly.
"you… "
Upon hearing this, the man in fancy clothes' face suddenly darkened. However, before he could say anything more, the two men in gray-black robes had already taken the opportunity to leave the battlefield and quickly fled into the distant void.
Looking at the two men in gray-black robes going away, the man in fancy clothes had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Although he wanted to chase and kill the two men, if Yang Qi did not take action, they would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to keep the two men in gray-black robes, which was something the men in gray-black robes could not afford.
