#329 - The Demon King is coming
Liang Jin's words caused the people from Star Demon Sea and Limitless Bright King Sect to stop as well.
What was Liang Jin in their eyes at this moment?
He was a madman!
He completely disregarded traditional forces like the three major sects and insisted on getting involved with a new sect.
And he happened to have some skills.
What was most troublesome was his temperament of not caring about anything and fighting to the death.
Star Demon Sea and Limitless Bright King Sect were unwilling to be targeted by Liang Jin like the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
Thus, Ming Cangwu, Bai Qiuying, and Limitless Dharma King exchanged glances and asked:
"May I ask, Building Master Meng, how do you plan to divide it?"
Liang Jin replied:
"I am a reasonable person, so of course, it will be divided equally."
"Our four sects, one share for each sect!"
Liang Jin didn't care how they reacted, anyway, it was all empty.
He was only saying this to the disciples of Azure Cloth Building.
Ming Cangwu, Bai Qiuying, and Limitless Dharma King exchanged glances again.
All the disciples of Azure Cloth Building couldn't help but hold their breath.
They were all very clear that snatching treasures from the hands of the three major forces was equivalent to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Would these three major sects agree?
Finally.
The leaders of the three major sects nodded, indicating their agreement to this plan.
They were unwilling to continue arguing with this madman, Liang Jin.
Even if they got one less share of the treasure, they just wanted to get their hands on the treasure as soon as possible.
At this moment, all the disciples of Azure Cloth Building couldn't help but cheer.
Their ability to get a share meant that their Azure Cloth Building could be on equal footing with the three major forces, and everyone was about to get rich.
Everyone crowded around Liang Jin, shouting his name loudly.
Some people also expressed their dissent.
These people were independent martial artists or some small and medium-sized sects.
They couldn't help but shout loudly:
"What about us! We came all the way here, shouldn't we get a share?"
"Yes, now that you four major forces have divided it, what about us?"
Black Vulture, the Right Demon Envoy of Star Demon Sea, sneered:
"You want to get a share too?"
"Then at least send a representative to challenge the experts of the three major sects like Building Master Meng."
"If you win, it proves you have the strength."
"Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to share?"
These words made the faces of a group of martial artists and small sects turn red.
Of course, none of them had Liang Jin's strength and courage.
But how could everyone swallow this anger?
But what if they couldn't swallow it?
The three major forces didn't take them seriously and didn't need to pay attention to their emotions.
At this time.
Liang Jin spoke:
"Everyone, heroes outside the three major forces!"
"Don't worry, our Azure Cloth Building is thinking of all martial artists."
"Even if you are not from our Azure Cloth Building, after our Azure Cloth Building gets a share of the treasure, we will not let everyone go back empty-handed."
Liang Jin knew that there was no treasure at all.
Since there was nothing, he didn't mind issuing blank checks to win people's hearts.
Sure enough.
The martial artists outside the four major forces couldn't help but cheer when they heard this:
"Building Master Meng is still benevolent!"
"We will definitely fully support Building Master Meng!"
"Building Master Meng's great kindness is much stronger than those three major forces!"
...
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
Many martial artists had previously had illusions about the three major forces, but now they realized the goodness of Azure Cloth Building.
For a time, more martial artists were tempted to join Azure Cloth Building.
Seeing the appearance of these martial artists, the people of the three major forces couldn't help but show contempt.
How could they not see that Liang Jin was deliberately buying people's hearts?
But for the three major forces, this was irrelevant.
The three major forces had a strong foundation, and they didn't lack disciples, only elites.
They really looked down on these ordinary martial artists.
Bai Qiuying snorted coldly when she saw this:
"This thief has gained a wave of reputation."
The Great Snow Mountain Sect lost a lot of reputation today, and Bai Qiuying could have used the treasure to gain some prestige.
But who would have thought that Liang Jin would take the lead?
If Bai Qiuying followed up now, the effect would not be as good as Liang Jin's.
Cang Du pondered:
"This kid is buying people's hearts, which means he has great ambitions."
"Sect Leader Bai, I think we can ease our relationship with him, maybe there is still hope for continued cooperation."
Cang Du's words immediately displeased Bai Qiuying.
Bai Qiuying snorted coldly:
"This thief killed the peak master of my Great Snow Mountain Sect. My sect and him are irreconcilable enemies. How can we cooperate again?"
"Please, Master Cang, don't say such things again."
Cang Du could only sigh helplessly after hearing this.
He also knew that Wang Zhi's death had dealt a great blow to the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
But right now, the Great Snow Mountain Sect was fighting for the interests of the next few decades. If Bai Qiuying was more broad-minded and had a longer-term vision at this time.
Then maybe the Great Snow Mountain Sect and Azure Cloth Building really had a chance to reverse their relationship.
But unfortunately, this Bai Qiuying had obviously hated Liang Jin to the extreme.
And Cang Du urgently needed the power of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
So it seemed that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
Immediately.
Everyone began to walk towards the abandoned mausoleum.
The further they walked into the valley, the more cramped it became.
The cliffs on both sides seemed to be squeezing towards everyone.
In the end, the valley even narrowed to only two or three zhang.
And with so many people gathered here, it naturally seemed particularly crowded.
After everyone stepped into this place, their gazes were instantly drawn to the enormous hole that had suddenly appeared on the stone wall.
This hole was like a giant beast's gaping maw, abrupt and shocking.
The edges of the hole were jagged, uneven, and surrounded by dense, uneven excavation marks.
A large amount of dirt was scattered haphazardly on the ground around the hole, forming piles of varying sizes.
When one's gaze ventured into the hole, the view suddenly opened up, and the space inside was surprisingly vast.
On the cave walls, the marks of artificial excavation were clearly visible, with neat and orderly axe-cut patterns, uniformly deep and shallow.
Looking inward along the cave walls, one could see the already opened stone gate of the tomb.
The stone gate was ancient and heavy, with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols carved on its surface, still exuding an aura of solemnity despite the erosion of time.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Behind the stone gate, the brick walls of the passage were neatly arranged, with each blue brick closely connected, as if silently guarding the unknown secrets at the end of the passage.
As soon as the group arrived, a disciple immediately came out from the hole to report:
"Greetings, Sect Leaders! Our tunnel has been excavated into the abandoned tomb."
"But within this abandoned tomb, there are likely some mechanisms."
"As long as these mechanisms are resolved, then we will definitely be able to find the treasure quickly."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gazes turned to the people of the Star Demon Sea.
Manufacturing and deciphering mechanisms was naturally what the people of the Star Demon Sea excelled at.
The Star Demon Sea Master, Ming Cangwu, said indifferently:
"Everyone, rest assured, there is no mechanism in the world that can stump my Star Demon Sea."
With that, Ming Cangwu waved his hand.
Several elite disciples of the Star Demon Sea immediately took their orders and quickly entered the hole.
Many people followed suit.
Some wanted to see how the Star Demon Sea people deciphered the mechanisms, while others simply wanted to see the treasure as soon as possible.
However, the leaders of the three major forces, upon arriving at the entrance of the cave, hesitated.
The space within this abandoned tomb was cramped. Once inside, if someone blocked the entrance or collapsed the tomb passage, it would not be easy to get out.
Therefore, the leaders of the three major forces did not choose to enter the abandoned tomb, but instead sent their subordinates to investigate.
After all, for these big shots, chores such as inspecting, transporting, and counting treasures were not for them to do.
What they should do was to fight for the treasure after it was transported out!
That's right.
It was a fight!
Although all parties had agreed to divide the treasure equally.
But these words were just for show.
In the end, there would inevitably be a bloody storm.
After all, the greater interests behind this treasure were what they valued.
Of course, Liang Jin would not go in either.
He knew there was no treasure inside, and going in would only be a waste of time.
Only Liu Yuan seemed a little anxious.
Liang Jin comforted her:
"Don't worry, if the Boundless Dharma King fails to bring out the stone tablet you want, I will also help you get it."
With that, Liang Jin called Yunlong and instructed him to arrange for some obedient slaves to go in and carry the stone tablet.
Liu Yuan finally felt relieved after hearing this.
She hadn't asked Liang Jin for help before because she felt that Liang Jin didn't have the ability to help her fulfill this wish.
But tonight, Liang Jin was already able to sit on an equal footing with the three sect leaders, which made Liu Yuan full of confidence in Liang Jin.
At this moment.
Ming Cangwu suggested:
"Instead of standing here and waiting, why don't we have a cup of tea?"
Then, Ming Cangwu waved his hand, and the disciples of the Star Demon Sea immediately brought over tables and chairs, which were placed outside the cave.
Exquisite tea sets were also arranged, and a pot of fragrant tea was brewed.
The leaders of all parties naturally did not refuse.
Immediately, everyone came to the tea table and sat down, while ordinary disciples waited not far away.
The Star Demon Sea also reserved a seat for Liang Jin.
However, Liang Jin did not immediately go over to drink tea, but instead pulled Ayina to a remote corner.
"Meng Xinghun, what's the matter?"
Ayina asked in confusion.
Liang Jin said:
"Now that the treasure is about to be unearthed, it seems that everyone has gathered."
"But I always feel like some people are missing."
Hearing this, Ayina looked around in confusion.
The three major forces, the Azure Clothes Tower, plus some small sects and independent martial artists.
It seemed that nothing was missing.
"What are you talking about?"
Ayina couldn't help but ask again.
Liang Jin replied:
"The people of the Black Dragon Kingdom are missing."
"As the mastermind behind this treasure hunt, it's impossible for them to send only Hu Yan Di and his bunch of trash, right?"
The Evil Slaughter King of the Black Dragon Kingdom used an internal accomplice to steal the treasure map from the palace and caused this treasure dispute in the Western Desert.
If they didn't come to join in the fun, it would be too unreasonable.
But Hu Yan Di and the others were obviously not qualified to lead this treasure hunt.
Liang Jin originally thought that the people of the Black Dragon Kingdom would appear soon.
But until now, not a single person from the Black Dragon Kingdom could be seen.
This meant that they were probably brewing some kind of big move behind the scenes.
Hearing this, Ayina pondered:
"Your idea makes sense."
Liang Jin smiled faintly.
He didn't just have an idea; he had enough evidence to support his idea.
Just now, Liang Jin had opened [Thousand Mile Tracking] to check the location of the title "Evil Slaughter King".
He had already discovered that this Evil Slaughter King was very close to Hidden Wind Valley!
This prince of the Black Dragon Kingdom, the Evil Slaughter King, had actually come in person!
