Amidst the rapid but long sounds of chewing and howling or expressing joyful words, a group of hungry people told their stories intermittently to their visitors.
A year ago, a team of nearly a thousand people came here and were brutally slaughtered by a humanoid demon with supernatural powers. The defeated people first chose to return, only to find that there was another demon of the same level at the entrance of the valley.
With no way to escape, everyone retreated here. Fortunately, when they discovered this door, Prince Wu Wu Lie remembered a mysterious pentagonal sign that he had accidentally obtained from a pile of ashes in the hall, and used it to successfully open it.
The Star Stone Gate here escaped a disaster.
Everyone found a lot of dead bodies here, but the stone sea quickly turned into ashes. Others didn't know what was going on, but Zhang Baoer, who was from Earth, knew that it was oxidation.
From the identity tokens of those people, everyone learned that this place was called Lingtian Sect, and learned the whole story from the carvings on the wall of the alchemy room at the deepest point.
Those ferocious demons were caused by the Lingtian Sect's mistaken construction of an ancient teleportation array. The teleportation array teleported ten ferocious demons at once, and they killed everyone they saw. Although when they first arrived, everyone in the Lingtian Sect who found something wrong was destroyed.
Teleportation array, but the ten evil demons were so powerful, one of them was actually at the level of Shattering Void.
Although the Void-shattering demon was surrounded and killed by the powerful masters of the Lingtian Sect, all the masters of the Lingtian Sect were killed and wounded, leaving only one out of ten. The disciples had no choice but to escape, but... the elder who presided over the construction of the ancient teleportation array
, before he died, he activated the mountain-protecting formation in reverse, causing chaos in the space and causing the tornado cloud that had not originally covered this place to sweep downwards and cover the sky above Lingtian Sect, leaving everyone with nowhere to escape.
Before he died, this man told everyone that he had used a false name and that his true identity was the son of the previous sect leader who was assassinated by the sect's seniors. He even knew that the teleportation array would attract evil spirits, and he acted like this out of revenge.
Unexpectedly, a person who was wanted by the sect actually sneaked into the sect after destroying his appearance, and eventually took the position of elder, and finally succeeded in revenge, destroying a super sect in one day.
The only remaining members of the Lingtian Sect came here and relied on Xingshi Mountain to survive, but... after struggling for more than ten years, they finally reached the end of their lives due to hunger. The person who carved the words was the last living person, with a dignified supernatural power level
It is endlessly sad that such a powerful person died of such oppression...
It's not that they haven't resisted, but there are still two evil demons outside, which they can't match.
However... although their resistance was fruitless, they also discovered the demon's weakness: the demon was afraid of the day and would only appear at night.
The only pity is that although they found the weakness of the evil demon, the sect was enveloped by the tornado cloud and had no way to escape... The huge sect was eventually destroyed.
Wu Lie and others who accidentally stumbled into this place were devastated after learning the contents of the inscriptions. They relied on the storage in the space rings of the remaining hundreds of people to survive...
When you are hungry and desperate, you will naturally start to snatch food. When more than thirty people died, Prince Wu Lie stood up and told everyone a lie: After one year, the tornado clouds outside will subside again.
If you want to survive, just listen to me and hand over all the food and water to me for safekeeping and distribution. You will supervise it. Otherwise... I will destroy the key to the door.
There are three keys in Wu Lie's body, one was obtained outside, and the second and third keys were obtained in the deepest alchemy room.
No one thought that Wu Lie was so far-sighted that he came in and found the two keys and then took possession of them, making him the only person here who could open the Star Stone Gate. Later, someone forced him to hand it over, but there were two people beside Wu Lie.
Not only is this a great master of the Zhenfu, but he also threatened everyone with destroying the key... In the end, he became the king here.
He was very fair in his work and did not give more for himself when distributing food, so he gradually gained recognition from everyone.
Until now, no one knows that the "one-year period" he said was a lie, because he was right, as evidenced by Zhang Baoer and other later comers.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated the time in the dark and opened the Star Stone Gate a few days in advance. Wu Lie knew that was a lie. He didn't want to open it originally, but after seeing that the food had been exhausted, he decided to fight to the death.
, and opened it.
When the Star Stone Gate opened, all the powerful people knew that the time was wrong, because it was really dark at that time, but... they couldn't resist the desire to drink water and eat grass roots, so a group of people hurried out to eat and drink, and they returned as fast as
Very fast, but still not fast enough. Just when they arrived at the Star Stone Gate, the two vicious demons came to kill them!
Wu Lie stood up and led his own people to cut off the retreat for everyone. The reason why he was able to survive in that situation was because his two loyal guards resolutely chose to blow up Zhenfu, buying him time to close the door.
.
After that, everyone fell into despair. Although they heard the knocking on the door by Zhang Baoer and others, they were afraid that it was the evil spirit and did not dare to open the door... As a result, only more than 2,000 people entered the room alive.
"hateful!"
"Beast!"
Many people began to curse, saying that if the door could be opened earlier, no one would have died.
"I……"
Hearing the scolding and looking at the angry eyes directed at him, Wu Lie felt ashamed. He was about to stand up and say something, but Zhang Baoer held down his shoulders.
Zhang Baoer smiled and said loudly:
"Brother Wu, there is no need to blame yourself. You don't owe these people anything. What does their life and death have to do with you?! Haha, on the contrary, these sanctimonious guys who have pushed their own people behind them still owe a certain life!"
"you……"
Everyone was choked and speechless. Zhang Baoer was right. If it weren't for people like him, they would have died long ago. Even the four elders of the Snow Sword Sect had to nod sadly. Although Zhang Baoer was killed
That elder, but he did save everyone's lives.
The sparrow was silent. Under Jiang Xiang's disbelieving gaze, Zhang Baoer's eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Now is not the time for you to vent unreasonably. You have reached such a situation and still want to fight among yourself. You people really don't regret dying. If you had known this, you would have selectively saved people!"
Hearing this, some people blushed, while others became angry:
"So what?! Everyone is going to die anyway!"
"They're all going to die?!"
Zhang Baoer suddenly smiled. This person was just a late Yuanying monk. It seemed that someone had instigated it. Zhang Baoer glanced coldly at the four Zhenfu masters behind him, and then said lightly:
"Someone, there is a way to escape, but... I'm not happy now and don't want to talk about it!"
"You...ah!"
The man was furious, but before he could say the unpleasant words, his voice suddenly stopped. The one who took action was the master from the Zhenfu behind him. The man showed an expression of disbelief before he died.
Everyone ignored him and looked over with excited faces, waiting for his next words.
"Brother Zhang, are you telling the truth?!"
Seeing that the man was dead, Wu Lie looked at Zhang Baoer with burning eyes and disbelief.
Zhang Baoer nodded, but said nothing.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, the old man who had previously attacked the Snow Sword Sect elder stood up with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said:
"Brother, if one person is trying to take advantage of others, if there is any way, please let everyone know... I believe that everyone will remember my kindness. How dare you not repay generously in the future?!"
Zhang Baoer took a deep look at this old guy and found that he liked him more and more. He was simply the best supporting actor!
So, he smiled and nodded and said:
"Just what I said! But..."
"Whatever the problem is, I just say it's okay, little brother!"
Hearing this sentence, many people secretly gritted their teeth because they had already guessed that Zhang Baoer wanted to open his mouth.
Sure enough, I heard him smile like this:
"Haha... To be honest with everyone, a certain person's true identity is the leader of Tianyin Sect. You don't need to inquire too much, because there are very few people present who know that Tianyin Sect is a newly established sect! Haha
…”
Having said this, Zhang Baoer pulled Cai'er to sit on the chair that Master Huang put behind him, and then continued:
"Our sect has just been established, and all kinds of materials are scarce, so... haha!"
Many people want to scold you, "Haha", how many spiritual stones are you talking about, why is it so exciting?!
At this moment, some clever people suddenly discovered that his eyes were directed at Shan Yuanyuan of Wanbao Pavilion.
Shan Yuanyuan was stunned. She was also a smart person and she immediately realized that Zhang Baoer wanted her to help lead the bid!
This head is not so easy to get. If it is too high, everyone will be unhappy and Zhang Baoer will be happy; if it is too low, Zhang Baoer will be unhappy and everyone will be unhappy too.
She was in a dilemma, but when almost everyone's eyes fell on her, she made a decision: speak up, and speak from a higher place, because she wanted something from Zhang Baoer.
"Haha... The slave family cannot represent everyone, I can only express my own thoughts!"
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter!”
Zhang Baoer happily fed Cai'er ice cream, with a face full of spring flowers.
Shan Yuanyuan cleared her throat, then smiled and said:
"If the young master can save the slave family from danger, the slave family is willing to spend 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones to relieve the master's worries. I wonder what the master wants?!"
"What?!"
Many Nascent Souls opened their mouths with frightened faces. However, these people were small-power people or casual cultivators. Most people had no objections, especially those powerful in the realm of the gods. This spiritual stone was of no use to them.
Words don't matter at all.
Everyone can think of Shan Yuanyuan. This is the price that Shan Yuanyuan has set for everyone, but this price is destined to offend four to five hundred people, because these people cannot compare with those powerful people, or they cannot afford it.
Even if you take it out, it will still bleed heavily.
However, in Shan Yuanyuan's position, since she wanted to seek help from Zhang Baoer, she could only choose to offend a few people. Her identity made her not afraid of the resentment of these people, not to mention offending those who were in poverty, even those who were wealthy.
Those who are rich and wealthy do not dare to take action against her easily, because the words "Wanbao Pavilion Mountain Family" are like a huge thing weighing on their hearts.
After hearing her quotation, Zhang Baoer was sure that this person wanted something from him, and was about to nod, but then his expression changed, because Shan Yuanyuan said again:
"Haha... these 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones are just a deposit. If I can survive afterwards, the slave family is willing to give out another 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones to thank the young master for saving his life!"
With that said, she took the cloth bag from the old man behind her, walked up to Zhang Baoer calmly, and handed it over.
"This is 600,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Please count them, Sir!"
Zhang Baoer's face was as dark as water. Without him looking, the brows of those powerful people were already frowning - what Shan Yuanyuan did was indeed a bit excessive.
If she had just said 'four hundred thousand', then everyone would feel better, but now...she is raising the price maliciously!
"What does she want to do?!"
Everyone looked at Shan Yuanyuan with a smile on her face with this question. It was not wise for her to do this at all. As a businessman, she couldn't possibly not know the disadvantages of this approach, right?
Zhang Baoer glanced at her coldly. Seeing that there was no strange color in the other person's eyes and no intention of telling her something, Zhang Baoer sneered in his heart. Although this woman seemed to want something from him, she was hiding a knife in secret... But!
The next moment he suddenly understood, the other party was being kind! This was a step down for himself!
So, he laughed:
"Master, accept...three hundred thousand!"
"yes!"
Master Huang walked over without hesitation, took the bag from Shan Yuanyuan's hand, and began to divide the spiritual stones.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?"
Shan Yuanyuan looked puzzled. Zhang Baoer knew that her expression was just for others to see, so he didn't point it out and said to everyone:
"Although everyone's lives are priceless, collecting as many spiritual stones as possible can express our respect for everyone... However, this is a critical moment and everyone needs to work together, so... Master Shan Pavilion's kindness has been accepted!
Two hundred thousand is enough, let’s take one hundred thousand first, and then one hundred thousand later! What do you think?!”
"Haha... Young Master Gaode!"
Shan Yuanyuan laughed like a silver bell, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and praised Zhang Baoer for being such a good person.
Hearing this, everyone in the distance also echoed:
"Brother is interested!"
"Thank you so much, Master Zhang!"
…
Soon after, various forces sent money one after another. Master Huang was treated mercilessly when collecting money. Jiang Xiaoming and Haiping couldn't bear it and went to help. In just over half an hour, more than 150 million high-grade people were put into the six of the three.
In a space ring.
I don’t know when those people who were in financial difficulties had already stood in a group. When everyone came to look at them, six of them, representing the group, came forward. The oldest one among them said:
"Um... Clan Master Zhang, we are leaving in a hurry and we don't have enough spirit stones with us. Can you... ahem, can you be accommodating?!"
His face turned red when he said this. As a powerful master of the Zhenfu, he could not produce hundreds of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones. If these words were spread, it would definitely make everyone in the world burst into laughter.
