3950 Leaving
This was quite a grand display.
Ling Han didn’t show off, and he followed them in a very low-key manner. He had always advocated making a fortune in secret .
“You!” However, the tree longs for peace but the wind will never cease. A person immediately jumped out, pointing angrily at Ling Han.
Li Shiming.
At that time, he had wanted to snatch Ling Han’s Celestial medicine, but in the end, he had been controlled by the black light of illusion, and had instead killed his two lackeys.
He naturally suppressed his anger, because he had never seen Ling Han again from now onwards.
Yet now, he had suddenly seen Ling Han appear, and all the old grudges and new grudges were borne in his heart. He immediately jumped out, wanting to settle accounts with Ling Han.
Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, “Oh, so it’s you.”
‘F*ck! Have you almost forgotten who I am?’
Li Shiming was even more enraged, and he was just about to unleash a palm strike at Ling Han.
He naturally didn’t pay any heed to a mere Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator. There was a large tier separating them, and the gap in strength was as wide as heaven and earth.
“Stop!” Song Lan shouted lightly.
Li Shiming dared to look down on Ling Han, but he definitely didn’t dare to scowl at Song Lan.
To say nothing of the fact that Song Lan was the seductive beauty who ranked ninth on the Exquisite Leaderboard, her natural talent in martial arts was also incredibly shocking. It was said that, just like Feng Jixing, she had also broken through to the Core Formation Tier with Nine Cauldrons.
Hence, the gap in strength between the two of them was extremely wide. If they fought, he would definitely lose.
Furthermore, he would have to be abrupt with the beauty. At that time, not only would he be beaten, he would also be looked down upon.
He was slightly defiant, and he said, “Celestial maiden Song, this person killed two of my subordinates. I can’t accept this!”
Song Lan looked at him pitifully. If he really made a move, it wouldn’t be that he couldn’t swallow his anger, but rather that he wouldn’t be able to breathe in future.
“There are Lords here, so stop mucking around!” she chided in a low voice.
Only then did Li Shiming reluctantly step aside. There were indeed five True Self Tier elites here. Even if he had an extremely powerful backer, he didn’t want to deliberately offend them.
“All right, everyone, let’s discuss some important matters,” one of the natives spoke up. He was a being of the consummate level of the Core Formation Tier. At present, though there were a considerable number of outsiders that had broken through to the Core Formation Tier, faced with the battle prowess of the consummate level of the Core Formation Tier, they still had to admit that they were impressed.
Everyone straightened their backs and sat upright.
“Everyone, before we discuss this matter, I would like to ask you a question.” Before they could get to the main topic, another Core Formation Tier consummate level native spoke up. He looked to be in his seventies, and even his brows and hair were beginning to turn gray.
“Elder Chen, please speak,” Prosperous Heaven said.
Originally, outsiders were all represented by Feng Jixing, but now, Feng Jixing had been beaten out of the Mystery Realm by Ling Han, so it felt like they had no leader. Thus, Prosperous Heaven, Song Lan, Nangong Hao, and Zhao Wuji could all stand up and speak.
The white-haired elder nodded, “I would like to know, how do you all plan to bring us out of the Mystery Realm?”
Nangong Hao frowned and said, “We’re obviously going back the way we came.”
“Hehe, why have I heard that there is no exit at all?” the white-haired old man continued.
F***, who had leaked the secret?
Nangong Hao’s expression remained unchanged, and he laughed loudly, “Who did Elder Chen hear this from? It’s completely a non-existent matter!”
“Then, young friend Nangong, how about you hand over your token to me?” the white-haired elder asked with a smile.
This time, Nangong Hao’s expression changed drastically. He frowned and said, “This is a life-saving trump card. Forgive me for not being able to hand it over.”
The white-haired old man laughed loudly, “Young friend, I can guarantee that in the upcoming sweep, there is no need for you to contribute in the slightest, but your share of the gains will not be overlooked. So, what about it even if you hand over your token?”
Nangong Hao was at a loss for words. He had spoken so beautifully, so what else could he say?
He paused for a moment before saying, “You have to guard against others. It’s best to keep this kind of life-saving item for yourself.”
Yet the white-haired elder shook his head, “As I see it, this is a complete lie. You are not willing to hand over the token, because this is the only way to leave!”
The outsiders exchanged looks, all of them surprised. Who had leaked this secret?
That was because the prerequisite for their cooperation with the natives was that when outsiders left, they would bring the natives with them.
However, since this could not be realized, would the natives still treat them kindly?
Furthermore, this concerned the lifespan of a few hundred, a few thousand, or even in fact, tens of thousands of years. What native would not risk their lives for this?
…Snatch the token, and leave on their own!
“Hehe, no need to deny it,” the white-haired elder said. “I once captured one of you, and used torture to confess everything.”
With these words, everyone’s mouths that were still trying to quibble were completely silenced.
“Since that is the case, everyone should hand over your tokens,” the white-haired old man said with a smile. His expression was very gentle, but carried an incredibly baleful air.
This involved one’s own lifespan, so who wouldn’t put their lifespan on the line?
Ling Han sighed. Could it be that he was really a bringer of misfortune?
Becoming hostile as soon as he arrived?
The outsiders stood up one after another. They were naturally unwilling to hand over their tokens. Putting aside the fact that they would be trapped in this small place, in this special place, their lifespan would be exhausted at an extremely fast rate. Very few people would be able to live past a hundred years.
The natives wanted to live for a long time, so how could they want to have a short life?
All of a sudden, swords were drawn.
Originally, the natives were wary of the rare treasures in the hands of outsiders, and were unwilling to force them too far, but it was a different story now. For the sake of a few hundred or a few thousand years of lifespan, anyone would go all out.
Ling Han looked at the five True Self Tier old monsters, and shook his head internally. With these five people standing guard, outsiders naturally wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning. Thus, there was only one choice now, and that was to immediately crush the tokens. Otherwise, if they were captured, the tokens would be found, and they could only be trapped here until death.
The prodigies naturally had no lack of decisiveness. They all crushed their tokens, and instantly, multiple streaks of light wrapped around them, dancing and moving, beginning the tide of return.
Ling Han didn’t hesitate either. He, a Cauldron Forging Tier, was indeed heaven-defying. After unleashing his ultimate move, he could even grind a consummate level Core Formation Tier elite to death. However, against a True Self Tier elite, he didn’t have the slightest chance of winning.
Sigh, he was really unlucky. Wasn’t it just hunting down a person? He had been led into this trap in a muddle-headed manner.
Thankfully, he had already reaped what he deserved. He no longer had any regrets.
If he left, he would be able to beat Feng Jixing up again.
Ling Han crushed the token. Wrapped in a ray of light, he immediately flew up, then sped up, instantly reaching a point where he couldn’t see what was happening outside.
Then, he realized that he had fallen down from the skies.
His reaction was extremely fast. Hurriedly, he straightened his body, and landed steadily on the ground.
He had come out.
Beside him, Song Lan, Prosperous Heaven, Nangong Hao, and the others all appeared.
“What’s going on?” Immediately, a mighty figure at the level of Venerate Tier flew over. This was too exaggerated, wasn’t it? Why had he fallen out like a dumpling?
Someone spoke quickly, and in a few words, related the entire sequence of events.
