C3764 Escaping at the Last Minute
Meng Gang's words stunned Chen Xiao for a moment. He didn't know how to react. These words didn't seem to come out of his mouth.
After all, Meng Gang's identity was not ordinary. But now that he was the most popular person around the Seventh Prince, it would be very offensive for him to say these words.
Unless he really reached the point where he couldn't take it anymore, he had no choice but to vent the depression in his heart.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's heart trembled. Could it be that the scene in front of him was related to those people in the cultivation world?
Meng Gang came to Chen Xiao's side and whispered: "What else can it be? It's just that the group of people from the cultivation families stopped coming at the last moment, which caused the number of Tribulation Transcenders who should have arrived to decrease by so much."
"Not coming anymore?" Chen Xiao frowned, and there was a bit of unhappiness on his face.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
"Yes. They won't come. Some of them said they were seriously injured, and some of them just gave up. They don't dare to come. I am afraid they have heard something about it. Humph. Those good-for-nothings are faster than anybody else when they fight for benefits. When they have to bear the responsibility, they just act like cowards. How hateful." Meng Gang shouted angrily.
Apparently, he was really angry.
When Chen Xiao heard this news, his fist immediately became stiff. A wave of anger was suppressed in his chest, and there was nowhere to vent it.
Usually, the cultivation families enjoyed the benefits and benefits of the Unparalleled Divine Empire, but when they were required to exert themselves, they would find excuses to refuse.
An indescribable anger surged up in Chen Xiao's heart. He wished that he could destroy all these cultivation families.
It was fine if he didn't want such a cultivator clan, but what was the point of keeping them alive? Hmph!
Now, Chen Xiao could completely understand Meng Gang's surging anger.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao asked, "Did the two princes say anything?"
He knew very well that even if Li Zhan came, it would not be easy for him to control the power of these noble cultivation families. Only the two princes could control them.
After all, they were not in the same system.
Meng Gang's expression was sullen and incomparably unsightly as he sighed and said, "Your highnesses, there is nothing you can do about it. Ai!"
Looking at Meng Gang's sighing and insincere manner, Chen Xiao sneered.
"Can't do anything, or do you not want to do anything?"
"This..." Meng Gang's expression slightly changed. He could not continue to conceal the matter and replied, "You should know that these cultivation clans are deeply rooted. In the future, if Your Highness wishes to stabilize your position, you will need to borrow the power of these cultivation clans, so you should understand."
Hearing this, the coldness on Chen Xiao's face deepened. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the words that the Duke of Zi Jin had warned him.
Be careful of the Seventh Prince!
Heh, that's true. Regardless of whether it was the Third Prince or the Seventh Prince, to indulge in such acts without distinguishing between right and wrong was to help the evildoer.
Today, these princes could change the rules of the Treasure Auction in order to obtain the support of the so-called cultivator families. They could turn a blind eye and let these people do whatever they wanted. They could come and go as they pleased.
In that case, maybe one day, they could sell out other cultivators for the sake of the benefit of the cultivator families, especially the rogue cultivators.
For example, Chen Xiao had always been very vigilant about the matter of Zhou Xun.
Although on the surface, Zhou Xun was the Third Prince's subordinate, it was hard to say whether or not there would be any problems with him.
It was hard to tell what was in a person's heart. It seemed that what the Duke of Purple Gold said was the true advice.
"Hmph, I got it." Chen Xiao restrained his anger and became expressionless.
When Meng Gang saw this, he felt depressed in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain. He could only say, "Your Highness has your own difficulties. Chen Xiao, you should understand more."
"I'm sorry, that has nothing to do with me. It seems that Brother Meng Gang and I are not the same kind of person." Chen Xiao said lightly.
To be filled with anger towards a person, it did not mean how disappointed he was. Only by being indifferent and ignoring him completely could it be considered as true disappointment.
As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. This was the principle.
Meng Gang took a deep breath and felt helpless when he saw how determined Chen Xiao was. He knew that the actions of the two princes had made a lot of people's hearts go cold. Some of the more capable and ambitious rogue cultivators were even more furious and disdainful.
Meng Gang had tried to convince the Seventh Prince to do this before, but it was useless.
Now that he thought about it, he was filled with regret and a deep sense of powerlessness.
Meng Gang knew that the Seventh Prince obviously had his own thoughts. No matter how much he said, he wouldn't be able to change the Seventh Prince's mind. He might even make the Seventh Prince sick of him.
"Maybe you're right," Meng Gang sighed and didn't try to persuade him.
After pausing for a while, Meng Gang continued, "Brother Chen Xiao, remember to be careful when you make your decision. Think about it carefully."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and he asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Is this what you said earlier?"
"Yes, in short, it can't be wrong to think about it carefully," Meng Gang said calmly.
Chen Xiao seemed to have realized something. He nodded and said, "Alright."
"Yes."
Meng Gang patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, turned around and left.
For a moment, Chen Xiao was lost in deep thought and had an indescribable worry in his heart. It seemed that something bad was about to happen.
"Haha, this is really interesting. I want to see what else can be done in this Treasure Auction." Chen Xiao thought in his heart.
"It seems that our previous thoughts are about to come true. An extremely dangerous trial ground." At this moment, Xi Luo carefully spoke.
"En, if that is truly the case, then it can be explained why so many cultivators chose to give up on the chance to participate in this treasure auction after receiving the news. After all, treasures are more important than lives." Chen Xiao coldly laughed.
"That's right. However, this group of people are truly a bunch of cowards and trash. It's truly despicable." Xi Luo cursed.
Chen Xiao smiled helplessly. He had seen too many of these kinds of things and there were too many injustices.
In fact, other than being very angry and dissatisfied, there was nothing else he could do.
After all, he was too weak. He was merely a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm. Apart from going with the flow and looking for a way to protect himself, he could do nothing else.
Thinking of this, the gloominess in Chen Xiao's heart could only be imagined. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Don't think too much. The angrier you are, the more uncomfortable you will be." Xi Luo advised.
"That's right." Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, unable to do anything about it.
Just at this moment, another familiar figure walked over. It was Ye Gubei.
"What? Did Meng Gang tell you?" Ye Gubei said to Chen Xiao with a smile on his face.
Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "Ye Gubei, you seem to know something? About the Treasure Auction? "
