Chapter 3115 - The Next Encounter With Those Who Could be Killed or not, I'll Kill Them All
"The nerve!" Jiang Xiu'er angrily scolded, hands on her hips. "It isn’t up to you whether it's a rumor or not! Folks from Bluemaple Swordvalley are quite bold. Do we need you to say such useless things? Hurry up and lead the way!"
"Yes...!" The pressure caused by the difference in status was truly great. Yue Lanfeng could only bitterly smile. Their advice was useless, as the four disciples of Myriadpath Valley before them simply didn't care about their lives.
Cang Jue and the others knew that the so-called 'growth of order' was most likely a rumor, but there was still a small chance that it was true. They were just testing that small chance. If it weren't for these people, they would never dare to enter. But since they had encountered them, they would definitely let the Bluemaple Swordvalley cultivators take the lead. They thought that if anything happened, they could retreat without hesitation. After all, it wouldn't be them who suffered.
"Don't waste time, let's go!" Sun Xiaoyue scolded.
"Yes, yes."
Apart from Yue Lanfeng, there were a number of ninth-level cosmic cartographers, which definitely made them stronger than the group of Myriadpath Valley disciples. However, they could only obediently nod in front of the four cultivators who weren’t even five hundred years old.
That was the dominance of Myriadpath Valley. Historically, there had been too many forces from different mundi that secretly acted against their disciples, thinking that Myriadpath Valley wouldn't find out. However, after the truth came to light, those forces were all wiped out.
The methods of Myriadpath Valley were like heavenly judgment. As long as there was a violation, the life of a single disciple of Myriadpath Valley could be exchanged for the lives of millions of astral gods in a mundus. Who would dare to take the risk?
It was very likely that, if Sun Xiaoyue was killed, the millions of astral gods of Bluemaple Swordvalley would die. That was the dominant attitude that Myriadpath Valley had to show.
Of course, that was under the premise of discovery. If it wasn't exposed, and no one investigated, it would be a different story. For example, Mister Taihe, a myriadpath saint, had died, but no one knew about it.
Yue Lanfeng understood all of that, so he followed along. He led his junior brothers and sisters toward the blood path.
Tianming was still placing Yin Chens at the entrance.
"What’re you doing here?" he asked Yue Lanfeng.
"This...." Yue Lanfeng didn't know how to answer.
Cang Jue stepped forward and said, "Don't worry about it. I recruited them and asked them to lead the way into the blood path."
Tianming's eyes grew cold at his words. "Stop talking nonsense! These are the people I brought here. I recruited them long ago—get lost!"
The conflict surprised Yue Lanfeng. He had thought that Tianming was under Cang Jue's command, but he didn't expect him to be so tough.
"Tianming, you aren’t the captain, so you don't have the authority to recruit natives. Stop joking," Jiang Xiu'er couldn't help but say.
"But I have the authority to kill you. If you don't want to die, get lost!" Tianming said.
"You!" Jiang Xiu'er's eyes turned red with anger again.
"Li Tianming." Just then, Mo Guhe, who had been silent, coldly said, "Don't keep threatening us. You're indeed capable, but even if you're fast, you're no match for Big Brother Cang Jue. By obstructing our investigation of the blood path, aren't you afraid that after Big Brother Cang Jue returns to Myriadpath Valley, he'll send someone to deal with Bluemaple Swordvalley? Especially these dozen people, they might die because of you!"
Her meaning was clear. Even if you kill the three of us, can you kill Cang Jue? As long as Cang Jue didn't die, he can't retaliate against you, but can you protect Bluemaple Swordvalley?
Her statement made Tianming thoroughly understand the woman.
"You've been silent all this time, but it turns out you're the most ruthless," Tianming murmured. He had seen enough. He didn't make friends in Myriadpath Valley because he was afraid of implicating others. But here in the Darkfiend Den, he’d merely shown a little intention of protecting Yue Lanfeng, and she had caught it immediately. He could only say that Mo Guhe had a keen eye for people.
"Yes! Don't think you're the only ruthless one. Who are you trying to scare? If you dare to kill any of us, Big Brother Cang Jue will go back to Myriadpath Valley and tell the elders that Bluemaple Swordvalley collaborated with you to kill us. By then, the army of Myriadpath Valley will definitely destroy Bluemaple Swordvalley! All of them will perish!" Jiang Xiu'er finally became arrogant.
Hearing that, Yue Lanfeng was startled.
"Sir!" he urgently called out to Tianming, "Listen to me, please don't create conflicts. We'll lead the way now, everything will be fine! We'll just go a little way in and no one will die."
Tianming wanted to say something, but Yue Lanfeng's eyes were filled with urgency and his voice choked as he continued, "Sir, I beg you, we in Bluemaple Swordvalley don't dare to take any risks in front of Myriadpath Valley!"
Tianming understood—they were all afraid! Mo Guhe and Jiang Xiu'er had said too many frightening things. But Myriadpath Valley was too terrifying for them, and they couldn’t bear the risk of Bluemaple Swordvalley dying because of them.
Upon hearing that, Tianming's originally clear eyes clouded over with darkness.
"I regret it," he chuckled.
"What do you regret?" Cang Jue asked.
"I should’ve killed those three bastards next to you just now at the stareye. Thank you. From now on, if I encounter anyone who can be killed, whether or not they have backgrounds, I'll kill them all," Tianming said with a grim voice.
That sentence made Mo Guhe and the other two feel a sudden chill in their hearts. However, it was difficult for them to back down now.
"Don't brag. When it comes to a real fight, you might not necessarily succeed," Sun Xiaoyue said, glaring.
"Let's go, move on!" Seeing the brewing conflict, Yue Lanfeng, in order to calm the situation, hurriedly led the group on without caring about anything else, taking the first step into the blood path.
Tianming couldn't do anything to them now, because Yue Lanfeng had already pleaded with him. It was Tianming who had asked him to lead the way. In this situation, he couldn't make Bluemaple Swordvalley take risks.
The probability of Myriadpath Valley destroying Bluemaple Swordvalley was very low, and Tianming also had authority here. However, Bluemaple Swordvalley was still fearful.
"Enough!" Jiang Xiu'er couldn't be happier to have finally suppressed Tianming. She hooked her arm with Sun Xiaoyue's and swayed her hips as she followed Cang Jue, Mo Guhe, and the others into the blood path.
After only a few steps, Jiang Xiu'er felt a cold gaze behind her. She turned around and saw Tianming following behind. He came in, and Jian Qinghe came in as well. The girl in the emerald green dress had always been silent, with no presence at all, but she had been following all along.
"Big Brother Cang Jue, that bug is behind us!" Jiang Xiu'er tattled.
"Don't care about him, he's really angry this time," Cang Jue said.
"I think we just weren't prepared last time. This time, let's stick together. No matter how agile he is, he won't be able to touch Jiang Xiu'er." Sun Xiaoyue grit his teeth.
"Anyway, be careful," the cold Mo Guhe warned.
"Mm! That tainted mongrel is really annoying and ugly!" Jiang Xiu'er sneered.
