Chapter 1408: A Secret Realht (2/2)
This was tanta someone to commit suicide Because Pillfire’s expedition team was filled with elites, it wasn’t appropriate to send any of the a few sentences to a great ereat e his lips He suddenly walked out froroup into its rear
“Friends, there’s a restriction up ahead,” he s odd about it Is any one of you willing to scout ahead for us?
“Don’t say that I didn’t tell you about this, there’s a lot of benefits to being a scout Anyone that ets his hands on That’s a prouarantees that scouts’ rights shall not be infringed upon”
Because Pillfire City’s men were too valuable, none of them was viable as a scout However, there were always fearless people ast the other cultivators present Soer
Pillfire had everything all planned out
Sadly, those who’d entered the secret realm were no fools Pillfire had led the way all this time, and yet they were loath to send one of their own to scout There was so fishy about this
All several hundred of the lagging cultivators presented difficult expressions None of theuess that theapproached a hundred percent Treasure was enticing, but not enough to throay all caution to the wind If one couldn’t guarantee one’s own safety, as the point of taking everything and dying right after?
The treasure would then fall to another anyways
The Pillfire great emperor waited quite a while, but no one stepped forward from the crowd in the rear This incensed him somewhat
“It seems that none of you deems the chance to scout as valuable What use do we have for you pieces of trash, then? Are we supposed to let you take a share of the treasure inside for free?”
The great e you one o back to where you came from Cowards aren't fit to possess the riches of this secret real Chen found Pillfire’s behavior pretty a It was fine to let others risk their lives, but only they were allowed to take the first share of the treasure
Cowards? It wasn't bravery, but foolhardiness to run to certain death
The scene was complete crickets No one stepped up because no one wanted to die Even the slowest ofout hapless fodder to be sacrificed
The lack of volunteers after a prolonged wait displeased Ereat emperor he’d sent
The eht,” he nodded, “if you don’t think that kind of opportunity is valuable, then you don’t knohat’s good for you Fro this valley We represent the Upper Eight Regions, the pinnacle of the human domain Unless you are from a faction there, you must depart immediately Otherwise, ill do it for you”
This was an ultimatum They had to either send people in or leave!
It was also brutal and straightforward
There were perhaps a hundred factions that had entered Agarwood Valley Each faction had a decently sized teae Pillfire City’s original intent wasn’t to let them have a share of the treasure either They were supposed to have been the perfect cannon fodder in a time of need
Alas, none of those let in had such self realization This upset the Upper Eight Regions’ factions greatly
“The way ahead is not obvious, honored great emperors,” a representative from a second rank sect said humbly “Anyone that ventures in now does so to their deaths In theory, we second-rate factions should present a token of our sincerity, but no one is willing to actively sacrifice theo in all at once A few chosen to do so should be enough”
“Hht now, er
“We can choose right now Anyone that is chosen mustn’t shi+rk their duty”
“How are we supposed to pick? There’s no way of doing that that’s fair! I think we should draw lots”
These second-rate factions were beginning to acquiesce The giant factions froions could very easily clear out the rooe in numbers
There were too antuan as Pillfire City Too reat emperors existed on the other side This was the fundamental reason for the second-rate factions’ lack of resistance
