Chapter 755 - Because You Are Stupid Enough (2/2)
However, right now, when he thought about it, that moment of relief had buried hidden troubles for the subsequent changes. If it were not for Bai Ze giving up his veto power, how could Black dare betray them so blatantly?
As long as Bai Ze still held that card, Black would definitely have not dared to rush things. Unfortunately, he himself opened the gate and released the extremely evil ferocious beast… When he thought about this, Bai Ze really wished that he could kill himself.
How could he be so stupid? When their Big Brother gave him that precious veto power, was it because he was smart? Did he have any special skills?
Of course not! The only reason their Big Brother thought highly of him was that he was obedient enough! Simple enough! On the surface, he looked like a mad dog who dared to bite anyone. Whenever he saw someone, he would say a negation. But in the end, besides barking furiously, what else did he do? When their Big Brother was still with them, Bai Ze would only need to do one thing. And their Big Brother just wanted him to do it well.
Then, he screwed up.
Therefore, in front of his compatriots, Bai Ze felt ashamed. His tone of speech was gentle, but his heart was very sour.
However, people’s reaction was unexpected.
“Do we believe it or not? Since it’s you who said it, of course, we do.” Immortal Luo Xue smiled and explained to her compatriots, “When did Bai Ze ever lie? How could he be that clever?”
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but soon the laughter subsided.
Immortal Luo Xue then said, “According to your opinion, Black is a traitor infiltrated by the Fallen Immortal, and that Senior Gem Emperor fell for his trap and is in danger… then, what should we do next?”
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and his mind went blank.
He had been thinking about how to win other people’s trust, but he did not expect that people would believe everything that he said as soon as he said it. Moreover, the reason seemed to be that he was stupid enough!
However, the problem was not that he was stupid enough, but he had yet to figure out what to do next…
Fortunately, he didn’t need to think too much. Before he could form his reply, Immortal Luo Xue had already said it on behalf of him, “Now I think the most urgent thing in everyone’s mind is to go to Thunder Reservoir to save… Gem. Previously, she carried too much of a burden on herself, while we had too much leisure time. So now it’s time for us to do something. But I don’t recommend that we rush to Thunder Reservoir in such a hurry. Someone had already gone there… I know that everyone here does not trust w.a.n.g Lu, but since it’s Gem’s idea, we should at least trust her.”
Not so long ago, the Earth Immortals still regarded Senior Gem Emperor as Emperor of the many Earth Immortals. All of them looked up to her. However, this time, one after another, Immortal Luo Xue showed that their position was not that different from her.
“Right now, we should focus on Black’s movement.” Immortal Luo Xue softly said, “If everything goes well on Gem’s side, Black will probably be repelled soon. The direction of his retreat is either the City of Immortals or Nine Regions outside of the Tomb of Immortals. So we will divide our people into two groups. One group will go to the exit to set up an interception array, and the other group will guard the City of Immortals.”
“What if he goes somewhere else in the Tomb of Immortals?” Someone asked.
Luo Xue replied, “That’s his way to his own doom. There are only two exits to the outside world from the Tomb of Immortals. The longer we hold these two places, the harder it is for him to escape. All right, let’s get going. We’ll use the tactic that we used a long time ago, Liu Guang group will stay here with me, while Duan Yue group will guard the entrance of the Tomb of Immortals. Don’t let him run away. Hahaha, what a good fellow that Black is, we treated him like fellow comrades, but he unexpectedly has the heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog!”
By the end of her speech, Luo Xue’s gentle face had turned red and an astonis.h.i.+ng murderous aura burst out of her widened eyes.
“If I don’t cut him to pieces and exterminate his body and soul, I swear I will not be an immortal!”
——
“… Humph, so they’ve blocked both of them. They’re fast.”
In the city of Immortals, a wisp of shadow quietly flew.
“The leader is Luo Xue? Well, that figures. That girl never really accepted Gem’s leaders.h.i.+p. Now she uses this opportunity to put herself in the limelight. Humph, known as being proficient in hundred arts, but the thing she’s most good at is scheming.”
“Bai Ze is here too? Ha! It seems that his stupidity has become a shortcut to gain trust. In those days, he gained Sun Buping’s trust in this way, and now it’s still the same toward Luo Xue.”
From inside the shadow, there seemed to be a self-talk. However, the sound was minimal, and it did not escape the limitations of the shadow.
But soon, another voice came in.
“Listening to your tone, it’s obvious that you have deep feelings with them. How could you betray them and jump into the Fallen Immortal camp?”
“Because they are too weak and stupid. These people can be compatriots, but they can’t be compatriots for life. A cultivator cultivates the path to immortality, not relations.h.i.+p with fellow cultivators… Luo Xiao, I will give you a last chance to clearly explain your betrayal, I can make you die happily.”
“Black, you now have no way out. How about I give you a chance. As long as you’re willing to be my good dog, I’ll show you a clear way to survive.”
“Reckless thing.”
The shadow vibrated and let out a slight fluctuation of pain and terror.
