Chapter 1153 - When The Sword Is Drawn, The World is Amazed (2/2)
Hu Baiwan’s expression turned a little dark.
Two of his subordinates got up and drew their weapons warily. They stood on guard beside Hu Baiwans and stared at the white-clad young man with intense gazes.
Thud! Thud!
Dozens of red-clad Lamas entered the inn with astonishing momentums. They made the crowd part for them or went to help their fallen comrades up or went to Hu Baiwan’s side to protect him or stood on guard against the white-clad young man warily. The atmosphere in the inn became tense once more, and the hostile air was even more prominent than before.
“Does Hu Baiwan intend to bring so many Myth Realm elites when he explored the desert palace?”
The people from Wind Assault Tower had already left their seats. They got up and observed all that was happening in the hall, and their expressions were grave.
They only learned that something major had happened when they heard the system notification. Someone had activated the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn, and it was linked to the treasures of the desert palace. That was when they came here to see what was going on.
But the situation before their eyes had already surpassed their imagination!
Hu Baiwan, the richest merchant in the world, had brought more than one hundred Myth Realm elites to Dragon Gate Inn…
They had also run into all sorts of martial artists on their way here.
Then, there was that group at the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn.
There was also the army of Embroidered Uniform Guards the system sent over.
A young, mysterious swordsman who could severely injure a group of Myth Realm elites with just one slash had also appeared to serve as their competition.
Phantasmal Shadow suddenly felt that she was a little too weak. She did not think that she could even win against Hu Baiwan with just the dozen elite members beside her, especially when he was determined to obtain the treasures in the desert palace.
Wu Kuo saw Phantasmal Shadow’s signal.
He quietly sent another messenger pigeon into the sky.
Due to the white-clad young man’s astonishing slash, the atmosphere in the inn became complicated.
Hu Baiwan seemed to have sensed danger when the young man attacked. Even though he still had a group of elites protecting him, he did not lower his guard. With a grave look, he stared at the young man, who had just revealed unmatched strength. He did not dare to order his subordinates to attack.
The only person who was not too surprised by the results of the fight was the instigator—Osaya!
The mysterious West Region beauty seemed to have been able to tell since the start that the white-clad young man was incredibly extraordinary. She only had an admiring look on her face since the start of the fight.
When both sides sank into a stalemate, she spoke to break the tense situation in the inn.
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero, your attainments with the sword have already reached the state where you are one with the sword. You absolutely have the right to enter the desert palace and receive a share of the treasures in the desert palace.”
Osaya’s sentence caused everyone’s attention to shift from the hostile situation before them to the treasures in the desert palace.
Most of the players had greed appear on their faces.
Osaya spoke again, “I have an idea. Why don’t you work with Hu Baiwan and help him obtain an item from the palace? As for the other treasures, all of them shall belong to you. What do you think, sir?”
“There’s no need for that.”
The old man from the later stage of Myth Realm spoke up to interrupt Osaya’s suggestion.
“The desert palace will not appear for a long time, and it has plenty of traps. It’s practically impossible to move away from all the treasures in there. To us, the treasures in there are not that useful. The item my master fancies might be the same as what Hu Baiwan wants.”
Osaya’s expression changed, and she leveled the young man a resentful look. “Sir.”
The young man quietly lifted his wine cup and drank from it. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, “I’ll give your benefactor a word of advice. People who stink of money like he does should just guard his money. He doesn’t have the right to make the world do his bidding by his words alone.”
Whoosh!
When he heard this, Hu Baiwan was finally unable to hold his anger back, he stood up in the side hall on the right and looked down at the young man with a cold gaze. “Sir, you might have misunderstood something, I, Hu Baiwan, am just a merchant who will only pursue profit for my entire life. I don’t have such great ambitions. However, I will obtain the treasures in the desert palace. Osaya, I promise you. Work with the Gu poison master I hired from now on and help me fight against those who dare set their sights on the treasures in the desert palace. Once we succeed, your debt with me will be cleared, and we will no longer owe each other anything.”
“Do you promise?”
“I promise!”
Hu Baiwan raised his chine, and his words were firm.
Silver Wolf noticed through great observational skills that the young man frowned in a barely perceptible manner at the moment Osaya promised Hu Baiwan.
“Hahahaha!” At that moment, a loud string of laughter suddenly tumbled into the inn like a wave. “The world might be big, but all land belongs to my king! All the treasures in the desert palace are left behind by the ancients, by the former dynasty. Even if we are morally obligated to use it for good, you are just a merchant, Hu Baiwan. You stink of money, and you can’t be considered as a righteous person.”
The mockery in those words toward Hu Baiwan was incredibly clear.
“Who is it?!”
“Stay where you are!”
“Those who humiliate my master must die!”
A string of angry shouts, disorderly footsteps, and the sound of weapons clashing rose outside the inn.
The people in the inn were shocked.
Their trip to the inn this time was full of entertainment. After one round of fighting, another round rose.
Slap!
Someone soon flung the door open.
Countless gazes were gathered at the direction of the door.
Many people were shocked.
A group of people who were obviously Chinese and were dressed as wanderers strode in with their heads held high. Behind them were a lot of martial artists who were famous to the players in the inn. They fought against Hu Baiwan’s people.
“What’s going on now?”
Many people made guesses in their hearts.
Only the young man had his body tremble slightly when he heard that the desert palace was from the previous dynasty. Surprise shone for a moment in his eyes.
