C4938 They Were Blinded by Greed!
Even he would be tempted by such an opportunity, let alone these ordinary rogue cultivators.
As a rogue cultivator, he had no power and no backing. Naturally, his wealth was far inferior to that of the cultivators of the great sects.
Now, after Yan Can's words, he took the initiative to make way. In other words, this opportunity to become rich was right in front of him. No rogue cultivator would be unmoved by it.
Thinking of this, he sighed, "It seems that Yan Can really got what he wanted."
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. Facing such a good opportunity, no rogue cultivator would easily give up. Even if it's just an illusory opportunity, they would still fight for it."
Xilo said indifferently.
Chen Xiao nodded and deeply agreed.
These words thoroughly revealed the mentality of all the rogue cultivators present, including himself.
To them, this was already the best opportunity.
If they didn't fight for it, they wouldn't have taken the risk to enter the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda.
If he stayed in the Divine Realm, he might be able to live a much more carefree life for many years. In the end, the chaos would arrive, and he would die in the chaos. Either he would fight for this opportunity.
Now, the supreme opportunity was right in front of him, and no one would give up.
"That's right. This is an unsolvable scheme. Yan Can's move is really ruthless." Chen Xiao scolded.
At this time, Xi Luo looked at him and asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao still decided, "I have to go and challenge it. I don't believe that I will die here. Hmph."
"Alright, you have guts. This is the Chen Xiao I know. Not bad." Xi Luo said happily.
Chen Xiao was stunned and asked, "I thought you would stop me."
Xi Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should I stop you? Although this trip is dangerous, I don't have no chance of winning. Besides, as the old saying goes, a piece of good iron cannot be refined until it is perfect. If a piece of good iron is not tempered a thousand times, it will not be able to become a treasure."
Chen Xiao nodded. "I understand."
"En."
On the other side, Yan Can's face was stiff as he flew back.
Seeing this, Zhou Kuang mocked, "Heh, it seems that your shouting has quite the effect. The name of the Sky Fire Daoist Sect is indeed useful."
Yan Can's face was dark, and he ignored him. Instead, he looked at Fairy Ice Phoenix.
"Fairy, what are we going to do?"
Fairy Ice Phoenix glanced at the restless and scheming rogue cultivators and said indifferently, "Of course we have to strike while the iron is hot to prevent these people from being overcautious and fearful. The effect will be greatly reduced."
"Alright, Fairy has thought it through. Let's do it this way." Yan Can nodded in agreement.
One had to know that the more tempting a temptation was, the more it would make one impulsive.
On the contrary, the more one thought about it, the more hesitant one would become and the more uncertain one would be.
In any case, what they wanted was for these rogue cultivators to be the backers. The more, the better. As for the lives of the rogue cultivators, no one would care.
Fairy Ice Phoenix chuckled and said, "When we enter the lava lake later, we will have to rely on Third Elder."
Yan Can nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll restrain our subordinates and make our move as soon as possible. We can’t afford to delay any longer.”
“Alright.”
Yan Can didn’t speak any further, and he turned around to return to the side of the Heavenly Fire Dao Sect’s cultivators.
At this moment, Zhou Kuang came over and asked, “Martial Nephew, you trust Yan Can so much? This is the Ninefold Pagoda, and anything can happen.”
Fairy Glacial Phoenix’s face was expressionless as she shook her head and said, “I wouldn’t trust him completely. No matter when or where, one’s strength is the foundation of one’s existence. I’ve never forgotten this principle.”
“Then what are you doing…?” Zhou Kuang asked with a puzzled expression.
Fairy Glacial Phoenix said indifferently, “It’s very simple. It’s just sharing the risk.”
Even though the Eternal Flame Crystals were good, no one knew exactly what was inside the lava lake. She had always been worried about the Flame Beast Leader that had escaped earlier, and she was rather fearful of it.
If the Flame Beast Leader appeared in the lava lake and attacked them, then it would be very dangerous.
At that time, it would be very likely for them to perish.
In this way, the risk would be much lower if there were more cultivators.
In her opinion, the loss of the Inextinguishable Flame Crystals was secondary.
“Alright, I understand,” Zhou Kuang said thoughtfully.
“In a while, Elder Kuang and I will protect you,” Fairy Ice Phoenix said.
“Okay.”
Fairy Ice Phoenix didn’t say anything else and returned to the Demon God Hall.
One of the Demon God Hall’s cultivators had died, and several others were injured. Two of the rogue cultivators had died, and many were injured.
Fairy Ice Phoenix wasn’t worried about the Demon God Hall’s cultivators, but the rogue cultivators were in low spirits. They looked at Fairy Ice Phoenix with resentment.
Fairy Ice Phoenix completely ignored them.
The rogue cultivators’ hearts thumped when they saw Fairy Ice Phoenix. They hurriedly stood up.
“Greetings, Fairy.”
“Greetings, Fairy.”
The rogue cultivators greeted her. Although they were displeased and even resentful, they didn’t dare say it out loud.
After all, their souls and blood were in her hands. If they were careless, they would die. They had to be careful.
“Fairy, do you have any orders?”
An old man among the rogue cultivators asked.
Fairy Ice Phoenix chuckled and said, “Everyone, I’ll give you all a chance. Do you see the lava lake ahead? The Undying Flame Crystals are hidden within. As long as all of you enter it and obtain an Undying Flame Crystal, hand it to me, and I’ll return your soul blood and your freedom. How about it?”
The moment she said this, there was complete silence. No one answered.
They all knew that although freedom was good, it was absolutely extremely dangerous to fish for the Undying Flame Crystals in the lava lake.
The Flame Beast leader at the immortal-level rank-6 had caused them to suffer quite a bit.
Now that the Flame Beast leader had escaped, their whereabouts were unknown. If they encountered it in the lava lake, they would be doomed.
Thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was too dangerous. No one dared to agree.
In an instant, the silence was terrifying. The air was almost suffocating.
Finally, the old cultivator’s throat tightened. He asked, “Fairy, what if we’re unwilling to go?”
The Ice Phoenix Fairy smiled. It was like the melting of ice and the rising of the sun, shining on her beautiful face.
Although she was smiling, everyone present felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. They felt a chill that penetrated their bones.
What she said next caused everyone to fall to the bottom of the valley.
“If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. However, if you don’t want to help me, then there’s no need for you to continue existing. What do you think?”
The Ice Phoenix Fairy’s words were very light, but it caused everyone to shudder.
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Their hearts chilled as they shuddered.
Cultivators who were able to reach immortal-level were not idiots. They naturally knew what she meant. They were immediately trembling in fear and did not dare to say anything, afraid that they would say something wrong.
