Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 78: Go or stay

Views:

Inside the palace.

The practitioners from all walks of life who gathered by the pool left one after another using the mirror tunnel.

There are three people from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower and Black Valley. They know that their hope is slim and are unwilling to risk their lives.

Soon there were fewer and fewer people.

The girl in white ignored the noisy Li Jie and continued to look at Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen.

—These two people were the ones who dared to attack Qi Qingsong before.

Jiang Li and Han Duping were still persuading Zhou Qingchen not to take risks, Luo Hongyan kept sneering, and Su Meng couldn't get a word in at all.

"If you deal with the man in the Sword Tower alone, how confident are you that you can kill him?"

Pang Jian asked in a deep voice.

The girl in white said without hesitation: "Fifty percent!"

Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen stood in awe. Luo Hongyan's eyes also showed strange colors, with a sneer of suspicion in her eyes: "Is it true?"

"If I fight him to the death with my own strength, it's hard to predict whether we will live or die. With you, I have an 80% to 90% chance of success. I saw that you two also want him to die, so I came here to cooperate with you."

The girl behaved openly and frankly.

Pang Jian hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to agree, Zhou Qingchen took the lead and said, "Let's do it!"

Seeing that he had spoken, Pang Jian said no more and just nodded.

"Old Han!"

Seeing that the number of people was decreasing, Zhou Qingchen, who had made a decision, turned his head and shouted softly.

"What happened again?"

Han Duping, with a bitter face, shook his head and sighed, secretly preparing to advance and retreat with Zhou Qingchen.

Although he was dissatisfied, Zhou Qingchen was really going to fight to the death. He was willing to accompany him even though he knew it was inappropriate.

"Old Han, I have a favor to ask of you. Take Jiang Li and Su Meng with you. The three of you should leave first."

Zhou Qingchen said seriously.

Jiang Li sobbed and shook her head: "I won't leave!"

Su Meng also shouted: "I won't leave either!"

Han Duping, who had a deep affection for him, opened his mouth and laughed strangely twice, and was also about to refuse.

"Old Han, you know, I rarely ask you for help so seriously!"

Zhou Qingchen stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Han Duping, who was bloated, gradually showed a helpless light in his pair of small green bean eyes, and sighed: "Okay."

He had witnessed too many separations and deaths, and he had seen the scenes of little girls like Su Meng and Jiang Li lying dead on the streets countless times.

He didn't care about the life or death of Jiang Li and Su Meng at all.

But he cares about Zhou Qingchen.

"You two should leave with me. If you stay, you will only become a burden and will kill Zhou kid."

Han Duping snorted, stared at Jiang Li and Su Meng, grabbed an arm with one hand, and without waiting for them to refute, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I... stay, I will be a burden and will only distract Zhou Xiaozi."

Jiang Li and Su Meng fell silent after listening to his sour and self-deprecating words.

"If we don't want to kill them, we shouldn't be a burden to them."

Han Duping dragged the two of them towards the mirror tunnel in the pool.

"That fat guy..."

When passing by Li Jie, who was leisurely drinking green juice, Li Jie shouted lazily.

Han Duping looked at him in surprise.

Li Jie pulled out the reed and threw a bottle of green juice over: "Here, there's still more than half a bottle left. If you don't mind the dirtiness, take it and drink it."

"I don't mind! I don't mind!"

Han Duping licked his face and forced a flattering smile. He released the hand that was holding Su Meng, took the bottle of green juice, and drank it all in front of Li Jie.

Immediately, he nodded and bowed to Li Jie repeatedly. After thanking him repeatedly, he took Jiang Li and Su Meng away.

Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen kept watching him, watching him lead the two women into the mirror tunnel, and the three figures disappeared together.

"There are still some good things about the fat guy."

Li Jie muttered something vaguely, took out a new bottle of green juice, put the reed in and continued sucking, muttering: "But he only deserves to drink the rest."

No one knows how much green juice is stored in this person's storage ring, and it seems like he will never be able to finish drinking it all.

"I am also in Tongmai realm, why didn't you tell me to leave too?"

After Han Duping and the other two had completely disappeared, Luo Hongyan suddenly said this.

"Is there anyone stopping you from leaving?" Zhou Qingchen looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Senior Sister Jiang and Su Meng don't want to leave. You are free to leave. You can leave now if you want."

Luo Hongyan said coldly: "I didn't talk to you!"

"Oh, you are talking to Pang Jian."

Zhou Qingchen came to his senses, shrugged, and said with a smile: "You didn't say his name, how would I know who you were talking to."

Pang Jian frowned: "You can leave."

"I hate it when you say that."

Luo Hongyan snorted in annoyance, rolled her eyes secretly, and said faintly: "Whether you want me to leave or stay, I will be happy to do so. What I hate most is that you don't care about anything and don't care whether I stay or go."

Pang Jian was silent.

"I didn't count you in the killing of the man in Jianlou."

The girl in white glanced at Luo Hongyan with sharp eyes and said, "You should leave. You are no different from those three people. If you stay, you will only be a burden. That's not right. If the two of them don't care whether you live or die, then you won't be a burden."

These words made Luo Hongyan so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"There will be no one around soon. If we continue whispering, someone might hear us."

The girl in white became cautious.

Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen nodded slightly.

A while later.

Finally, no one left through the mirror tunnel anymore, and the courtyard inside the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became extremely spacious.

Pang Jian also moved to the side of the pool.

Only then did he have the leisure and space to look at the rare treasure sunk in the pool.

A shabby bronze box, wrapped with many gold and copper wires, emitting a faint yellow light, sank to the bottom of the pool.

A gorgeous robe engraved with patterns of stars, sun and moon floats underwater, giving people a sense of agility and grace.

There is also a long spear with the tip and the shaft as a whole, quietly resting at the bottom of the pool, giving people a feeling of unparalleled sharpness.

There was also a white jade porcelain bottle with only one drop of light blue blood in it, swaying under the water with the white jade porcelain bottle.

That drop of light blue blood looked like a piece of blue crystal as it rolled in the bottle.

After a closer look, he discovered that in the light blue blood, there was a snow lotus blooming magically.

Boxes, robes, spears, and white jade porcelain bottles are the most conspicuous treasures in the pool.

There are only these four objects in the pool!

Some of the rare treasures that had appeared in the pillar of light that shot up into the sky have disappeared, as if they were just there to attract everyone and were not real things.

"I want the crystal snow lotus in the white jade bottle."

The dull man, who was also dressed in white but had a black valley symbol on his chest, waited until no one else left before speaking in a hoarse voice.

He is Lin Beiye from Black Valley. He had been staring at the pool and ignored the commotion around him.

"Crystal Snow Lotus..."

Hearing this, Luo Hongyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"I want the box, and I want the dress, too."

Lan Xi of the Demon Sect sat quietly on the high platform, looked at Qi Qingsong of the Sword Tower and Dong Tianze of the Yinling Temple, and said, "The remaining spear, you two decide who gets it."

Dong Tianze's face suddenly turned gloomy.

What he originally thought was that everyone would choose the same thing, and the four of them would be able to complete the distribution.

This way there won't be any conflict between the four of them.

Even a fierce man like Dong Tianze was mentally prepared and thought that he could only choose those left by others, because Lan Xi, Lin Beiye and Qi Qingsong were indeed more powerful.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xi acted as if he would keep the two weapons to himself, leaving only one spear for him and Qi Qingsong.

"Lin Beiye, do you have any objections?"

Lan Xi went to ask the man from Heigu first.

"none."

Lin Beiye said in a hoarse voice.

Lan Xi looked at Qi Qingsong again: "What about you?"

The lazy Qi Qingsong sighed and said, "I don't have any objection, but I don't know if the kid Dong in the lower world will have any objection to me."

What he meant was that Dong Tianze would not be given a choice and he had to take the spear.

Dong Tianze stood up suddenly, grinning and sneering: "Why? I came from the lower world, so I am not a human in your eyes?"

"That's about right."

Lan Xi said calmly.

"Junior Brother Dong, sit down quickly!"

Leng Yuan behind him tried hard to push him down, leaned over to his ear and whispered a few words, telling him not to be impulsive.

The general idea is that the current so-called distribution method also has variables, so he must not show up immediately, so as not to be targeted by Lan Xi, Lin Beiye and Qi Qingsong.

Leng Yuan also told him that it would be best to let the three people have a conflict so that he would have a chance to get what he wanted.

Dong Tianze had already stood up and glanced coldly at Qi Qingsong and Lan Xi. He was so patient that he actually sat back down.

"Oh! He was so impressive at Wulan Lake, and I thought he was so great."

Luo Hongyan sneered and mocked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "After arriving in this Bagua City, aren't you still a coward, accepting being humiliated at will?"

Dong Tianze turned around and glared at her fiercely.

Luo Hongyan was not afraid at all, and said with disdain: "Did I say anything wrong?"

"The worst thing you did was that you didn't leave earlier and chose to stay here." Dong Tianze responded with a gloomy face.

Luo Hongyan was about to say something else, but the girl in white clothes beside her shouted, "That's enough!"

Her primary target was Qi Qingsong from Jian Tower.

She didn't want to have a conflict with Dong Tianze first, otherwise when the battle started, the secret offensive techniques she used would be seen by Qi Qingsong.

In that case, she wouldn't be able to use the same trick again to restrict Qi Qingsong.

"The light column is about to be completely retracted."

Pang Jian reminded everyone softly.

Luo Hongyan, who was planning to argue with her, immediately looked at the beam of light above the pool upon hearing her words. Sure enough, she saw that the beam of light was about to completely retract into the pool little by little.

This means that the contents of the pool bottom can be collected immediately.

"careful."

Zhou Qingchen reminded Pang Jian who was nearby in a deep voice.

Pang Jian nodded slightly.
