Chapter 328

Guo Ran’s smile practically glowed as he took out an iron bead . He randomly tossed it into the pa.s.sageway .

A miserable scream rang out . That fellow had only gotten halfway down when Guo Ran’s bead struck the wall .

Countless pikes had instantly pierced countless holes into that person’s body . He had died immediately after screaming .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Both the Righteous and Corrupt disciples were infuriated . Guo Ran had actually followed their example, using the same method they had used against Long Chen on them . Now it was their turn to suffer .

“Go f.u.c.k yourselves! You caused my boss to die! Don’t even think about getting any of the treasures that are here!” Guo Ran sneered .

Long Chen had already consumed a healing pill and was currently recovering from his injury . It was an injury that looked frightening, but in truth, it was just an outer wound that would quickly recover .

“Little brat, even if we can’t obtain it, do you think you can keep those treasures? We’ll just guard here . Ask yourself, how do you plan on ever leaving?” said one of them disdainfully .

“Hehe, who cares if I can’t leave? If you have the ability, then go ahead and waste time with grandpa Guo here! At most you’ll only have to wait a year without searching for any other opportunities!” mocked Guo Ran .

That immediately caused a chill in their hearts . If Guo Ran really did plan on being obstinate, then with these terrifying mechanisms, there was no way for them to pa.s.s through .

This tomb had been preserved extremely perfectly . Some disciples had already found some precious ores .

Those precious ores seemed to have been treated as just trash by the tomb’s owner . They had just been randomly left lying around . In other words, there was definitely an even greater treasure beyond this pa.s.sageway .

But with Guo Ran guarding it, even Chosen would probably die . None of them were willing to risk it .

Furthermore, the people present were split into two parties, each harboring their own ulterior motives . There was no way they could work together to handle Guo Ran .

“Little fellow, let’s discuss this . Long Chen raped and killed an innocent woman, and is despised by the entire Righteous path . Now that he’s already dead, the punishment for all his crimes has solely landed on his shoulders . I, Zhao Mingshan, will use the seventeenth monastery’s name to swear that as long as you let us pa.s.s, we will testify that you are innocent so that you don’t receive any injustice . ”

The person speaking was a Chosen from the seventeenth monastery . His status was quite high, so his words did have weight .

“ . . . Really?” Guo Ran’s voice was clearly trembling .

“Of course . I, Zhao Mingshan, swear not to investigate any of your previous crimes, and will also help you testify that everything was done only by Long Chen . Everything you personally did was all because Long Chen forced you to do . ” Zhao Mingshan’s voice clearly held some excitement now .

Guo Ran sneered inside, “Even now, you want to play these word games with me? You won’t investigate ‘my crimes’ at that time, but you can just throw me to the Corrupt disciples to kill me instead . ”

“Then I’m relieved . ” Guo Ran hesitated before saying this . He looked at Long Chen . Seeing the wound was quickly healing, he purposely stalled for some time .

He didn’t dare mess around as Long Chen focused on healing . He decided to stall for as long as he could . In any case, playing around with them was more fun than just waiting around .

“Are you looking down on me? How could, Zhao Mingshan, a grand Chosen, possibly try to trick an ordinary disciple?” Zhao Mingshan’s voice contained some offended anger .

Guo Ran was silent in response to that, seeming to hesitate . Zhao Mingshan looked at one of the core disciples .

That core disciple nodded and jumped into the pa.s.sageway .

Suddenly, a scream rang out . That Righteous disciple had been stabbed to death by the flying pikes .

Guo Ran was stunned . He had yet to even throw out a bead . How had he died?

“You… what are you doing?!”

Zhao Mingshan was furious . He was glaring at the Corrupt disciples’ Chosen .

It had been one of the Corrupt disciples that had shot out an attack to activate the mechanisms, killing that core disciple .

“What do you think?” the Corrupt Chosen indifferently replied . “If your disciples pa.s.s, then all the benefits will be taken by you . What about us?”

The Righteous disciples were infuriated . At the same time, they also understood they had run into a th.o.r.n.y problem . Obviously the Corrupt disciples wouldn’t let them do as they wished .

“What do you want? Do you think I’ll let your disciples go down first?” raged Zhao Mingshan .

“How about this: we’ll send our disciples in one by one . We’ll also make sure their cultivation bases are similar, so that neither party suffers,” suggested the Corrupt Chosen .

“Keep dreaming! It was us Righteous disciples who discovered this pa.s.sageway and who found the way to enter! Why should we have to split it evenly with you?!” a Favored from the Righteous path cursed back .

“Long Chen is a Righteous disciple? Hehe, how come I can’t tell? So Righteous disciples died to the hands of Righteous disciples? It seems the Righteous path really doesn’t care about face anymore,” sneered the Corrupt Chosen .

That person’s words immediately caused the Righteous disciples’ faces to burn as if they had been slapped in the face . Their enemies were now laughing at them for the internal strife within the Righteous path .

“Long Chen is a traitor of our Righteous path . Our killing of him was just cleaning up our path . But no matter what, Long Chen is still a disciple of our Righteous path, and so his accomplishments are the Righteous path’s accomplishments,” quibbled Zhao Mingshan .

“Haha, I really have to admire you Righteous disciples . You’re clearly being contemptible and shameless, and yet you still try to act devoted to righteousness .
