Chang Liang's words did not change the group of brothers' views.
Number Two also interjected, "Boss, merely an initial-stage Grotto Profound brat, is there a need to be so careful? Us seven brothers, there are already three middle-stage Grotto Profound. Could it be that we still can't deal with a brat who's wet behind his ears?"
Chang Liang said coolly, "You guys just wait. I dare to wager that he can definitely come out from inside the Purple Nether Cave!"
Number Seven said, "How is this possible? He alone probably can't even deal with an initial-stage One-star evil spirit, can he still deal with late-stage evil spirits?"
Number Three also said, "Yeah, Big Brother! Either way, we also earned a thousand divine essence stones for nothing! Let's go right away! There's no way he can come out."
Chang Liang chuckled and said, "Dare to bet or not? I, Chang Liang, examine my own conscience and feel that I still have some knack in judging people. This kid is absolutely not simple!"
Number Seven said, being unconvinced, "Boss, don't you really trigger me! You say, how to bet?"
Chang Liang smiled and said, "Let's set three days as the limit. If that kid comes out, these 5000 divine essence stones, I'll take 4000! If that kid doesn't come out, these 1000 divine essence stones, I don't want a piece and will even top you guys up a thousand divine essence stones, you all take them and split!"
With Chang Liang saying this, the brothers all laughed.
"Haha, Boss, since you're so generous, then the brothers will kindly accept it! This wager, you'll lose for sure! Don't talk about three days, even if it's 30 days, he can't come out either!" Number Seven said with a loud laugh.
"Boss, when the time comes, you can't renege on your bet! This wager, you lost for sure!" Number Two also said with a laugh.
"Boss, we've mingled around in this Yin Wind Den for so many years, when have you seen before an initial-stage Grotto Profound can come out from the Purple Nether Cave, this kind of place? What's with you today, are you alright?" Number Three also laughed loudly and said.
Chang Liang just smiled and said nothing. He believed in his judgment.
He, this person, was meticulous; his vision was extremely sharp.
It was precisely because so that he could bring the brothers and slip away from under the Wang Family's hands.
If it was another person, saying one sentence wrong and they would probably have to be silenced by the Wang Family to prevent divulgence of secrets.
...
"Second Brother, this Yin Wind Den is so large, the terrain is extremely complicated. How do we find him?" Wang Yugan was also made dizzy by the terrain here.
Wang Yutao said solemnly, "Find some people and ask! That kid is a new face, he's definitely very conspicuous! I believe that for him to come here, it's impossible to find a place with nobody to hide. As long as we ask more people, there will definitely be someone who knows!"
Wang Yugan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Second Brother is brilliant!"
Wang Yutao said, "The few of you, all spread out for me. Find the local hegemons here and inquire! If somebody saw a new face, you must inquire clearly. Understand?"
Chapter 1327 - Ghost King Cave
"Big Brother, us brothers all save you a bit of face. This wager, shall we call it off? Waiting here is so boring, that kid definitely can't come out," Number Seven said.
"Yeah, I say, what's going on with Big Brother today? Normally, you aren't like this!" Number Three also urged.
Facing the group of brothers' persuasion, Chang Liang smiled without expressing approval nor disapproval and just said, "It's just been half a day, and you guys can't wait anymore?"
"Heh, Big Brother, we're saving face for you here!" Number Seven said.
Chang Liang smiled and said, "Please don't save face for me! Even reckoning makes for long friends for us blood brothers. Since this wager was set, then let's continue all the way."
At this time, a voice sounded out by everyone's ears like a ghost.
"What are you guys betting on?"
Everyone turned around to look, their eyeballs immediately staring wide-open one by one.
The one who spoke was precisely Ye Yuan!
"W-W-Why … did you come out? No, wait, how did you come out?" Number Seven's tongue instantly became unable to straighten.
The six brothers all had expressions like they had seen a ghost, sizing Ye Yuan up and down.
After that, they discovered that Ye Yuan's condition could not be any better, just like there were no evil spirits inside the Purple Nether Cave at all.
Not just the six brothers, even Chang Liang was dumbfounded too.
He sensed that Ye Yuan was rather extraordinary, but he also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually only used half a day and came out.
Him saying three days' time was already overestimating Ye Yuan.
He did not think that three days were too long for Ye Yuan!
The moment Ye Yuan heard Number Seven's words, he could not help being tickled. "What are you saying? Of course I walked out. Or could it be that those evil spirits carried me out?"
"But … But … there are quite a number of late-stage One-star evil spirits in the Purple Nether Cave!" Number Seven said with an amazed look.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, there are indeed some late-stage One-star evil spirits in here. But the numbers were still too little. I wandered around for half a day and only ran into seven or eight. There's still a long way from the total of 500! Are there places with even more? Bring me to go take a look."
Chang Liang was startled and hurriedly said, "Have! Of course there are! I'll bring you!"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed behind Chang Liang.
The group of people headed even deeper into the Yin Wind Den.
The deeper in, the more the evil spirits they encountered. Furthermore, the more powerful.
But Ye Yuan's performance made their jaws drop.
Evil spirits that the seven of them could only finish off after exhausting their strength, Ye Yuan seemed to be like catching a chicken, grabbing with one hand.
Then, lightly pinching, it shattered!
The Yin Wind Seven Heroes had mingled around the Yin Wind Den for many years. There had never been anyone who killed evil spirits like this.
Only at this time did the other six people believe how terrifying Ye Yuan's strength was.
Finally, the seven people escorted Ye Yuan to a second cave before the few people found a chance to talk.
Number Seven scooted in front of Chang Liang and wiped away his cold sweat as he said, "Luckily, Big Brother is wise. Otherwise … we'd probably already be like those evil spirits, pinched to death by him!"
Chang Liang also felt lingering fear. If they really made a move previously, they, the Yin Wind Seven Heroes, would probably have their names completely struck off the list today.
Of course, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to crush them to death like crushing the evil spirits.
For him to be able to easily deal with the evil spirits, that was all Dustless's credit.
But Ye Yuan's method of killing evil spirits made their hairs stand on end.
The feeling that this kind of visual impact gave them was that Ye Yuan was very strong.
Very powerful!
Chang Liang also had a bitter look as he said, "Honestly speaking, I also didn't expect that his strength was actually so great!"
"Could it be that this guy concealed his strength? An initial-stage Grotto Profound guy, how can he possibly be so strong?" Number Two said.
Chang Liang shook his head and said, "That, I don't know! Either way, we just have to earn these 5000 low-grade divine essence stones, and it will do. The rest, better don't be busybodies! Oh, right, the matter of wagering, this brother won't be courteous!"
Talking to the back, Chang Liang had a bright grin.
With this, he made a killing!
4000 low-grade divine essence stones were not a small sum to t
hem.
Deducting the normal expenditures, for Chang Liang to want to earn this sum of money, he needed at least three to five years!
Seeing the smug expression on Chang Liang's face, the other six people felt as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.
A cooked duck flew away just like this!
5000 low-grade divine essence stones, originally, each of them could be distributed 700 plus.
But now, the six of them could only split the remainder 1000 pieces.
A big loss!
"Heh, don't all have this expression, one must be willing to lose if they bet! Don't say that I, boss, am not righteous, I'll take another step back and only take 3000. The remainder 2000, you guys take and split!" Chang Liang said.
With this, everyone could not help being overjoyed, all thanking Chang Liang profusely.
Chang Liang's thinking was more full of schemes compared to his other six brothers.
Giving 1000 more pieces of divine essence stone could make the six brothers submit more wholeheartedly. This transaction was too worthwhile.
...
Another half a day's time passed, and then Ye Yuan came out of this cave.
Except, he just devoured around ten evil spirits this time as well.
Ye Yuan was very dissatisfied with this number and said to Chang Liang after coming out, "Too few! Are there caves with more? Best if there's several dozen or a hundred at once, that kind!"
Chang Liang was secretly dumbfounded. He seriously could not figure out how an initial-stage Grotto Profound rookie dealt with those late-stage One-star evil spirits.
But he still said, "Have is have, it's just that the place is a little too dangerous. The few of us brothers … don't dare to go!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "No worries, you all just have to bring me there! At that time, I'll clean up the evil spirits around the cave. That way, you guys will be safe. As for the deposit, I'll add another 2000!"
Money could make the Devil push the millstone for you. Chang Liang and the rest braving all kinds of danger in this Yin Wind Den, wasn't it still because of divine essence stones in the end?
Ye Yuan giving such a large sum, how could they not be moved?
Moreover, Ye Yuan said that he would clean up the evil spirits in the perimeter. This way, they would have no more worries.
Chang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Done! Around 1000 miles down, there's a Ghost King Cave. Not only are there many evil spirits there, but they are also very powerful! After Your Excellency goes in, make sure not to enter too deep, because there is a grand completion One-star evil spirits inside there! Legends have it that in the Ghost King Cave's depths, there's even a Two-star evil spirit. It's just that no one has ever seen it before!"
Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked when he heard that. If he really wanted to do this, then he would really have to be a little more careful.
Grand completion One-star evil spirit could still barely manage to deal with. But Two-star evil spirit, Dustless was still powerful to handle one currently.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Mm, many thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful!"
Seeing Ye Yuan respond with a stern countenance, Chang Liang judged that grand completion One-star might be Ye Yuan's limit.
But this result was already sufficient for him to be astonished.
They left Ye Yuan into the Ghost King Cave and waited outside themselves.
But they did not expect that at this time, over ten figures suddenly dashed in from all directions, directly surrounding the seven of them in the center!
"Huhu, searched for you all so bitterly! Didn't expect that you guys and that Ye Yuan punk are actually accomplices! The spectroscope breaking, this score, we'll have to settle it properly!" Wang Yutao's killing intent filled words transmitted into the Yin Wind Seven Heroes' ears.
Chapter 1328 - Catching Turtles in a Pot
The appearance of Wang Tutao and the rest caught the Yin Wind Seven Heroes by surprise. They were stunned too.
But Chang Liang reacted extremely quickly, understanding what was going on virtually right away.
At the same time, he could not help being secretly alarmed.
Wasn't it said that the Myriad Treasure Tower's alchemist was a cripple who could not cultivate? How could he have such formidable strength?
The current Chang Liang already ascertained that that youth who entered the Ghost King Cave was precisely the Myriad Treasure Tower's guest alchemist. It was Ye Yuan!
"This lord, this Chang doesn't understand what you mean? If this Chang has the capability to destroy the spectroscope, then I also wouldn't need to strive in this Yin Wind Den all year round!" Chang Liang said with cupped fists.
His mind flashed like lightning and knew that only by refusing to admit even unto death at present could he have a slim chance of survival.
In reality, he really did not expect that Ye Yuan was the person the Wang Family was looking for.
But Wang Yutao sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "You don't need to quibble anymore. I only believe the truth I see with my eyes! We've already inquired clearly. After that punk entered the Yin Wind Den, it has always been you guys leading the way for him. Just based on this point, you all deserve death!"
Chang Liang g.r.o.a.n.e.d in secret, but his expression was in a daze as he said, "Your Excellency, this lowly one really doesn't know what you're talking about! There was a youth who offered 7000 pieces of divine essence stones to have us lead the way. But … this Chang also didn't know that that was the person Your Excellency wanted to find!"
Wang Yutao said coldly, "No matter how glib your tongue, helping that boy is also a fact! Come, men, take them down for me! If there is resistance, capture and immediately execute!"
Wang Yutao's words thoroughly extinguished the last trace of Chang Liang's hope for a fluke.
His expression changed, and he said gravely, "Brothers, enter the cave!"
At this time, the other three sides were all blocked off. The Ghost King Cave at the back was the only retreat path.
The figures of Chang Liang, the seven of them, were like lightning, speeding over towards the Ghost King Cave.
Seeing this, Wang Yutao snorted coldly. Raising his hand, it was a palm!
"A bunch of people who have no idea of life or death!"
Powerful divine essence instantly exploded. A terrifying air billow swept over towards the seven people.
Chang Liang revealed a horrified look and cried out, "Brothers, you all go in!"
He unleashed all of his strength in this lifetime, wanting to deal with Wang Yutao's blow.
However, this was merely an ant trying to topple a tree!
Facing the grand completion Grotto Profound Wang Yutao, Chang Liang did not have the least bit of strength to resist.
However, Chang Liang already made the resolve to die. He wanted to protect his brothers to enter the cave!
Although the 'Yin Wind Seven Heroes' were not some good people, when facing such an imminent disaster, adversity tests friendship.
Boss Chang Liang blocked the spear for his brothers without the slightest hesitation!
But right at this time, two figures suddenly dashed out, covering up Chang Liang's profile.
"Big Brother, live well and take revenge for us!"
It was Number Three and Number Seven!
Chang Liang's eyes turned bloodshot, his two eyes scarlet-red.
But Wang Yutao's palm-force already arrived. Even if he wanted to do something, it was too late as well!
Boom!
An enormous force directly blasted Number Three and Number Seven, together with Chang Liang, flying.
However, the majority of the force was blocked by Number Three and Number Seven.
Chang Liang vomited a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'wah.' Number Three and Number Seven beside him had long ceased breathing already.
Chang Liang was very decisive. He knew that now was not the time to be irresolute and hesitant. Forc
efully crawling up, he headed over towards the Ghost King Cave.
Although this palm of Wang Yutao killed Number Three and Number Seven, Chang Liang also borrowed the force of this palm and arrived at the Ghost King Cave's entrance.
His figure speed, burrowing straight into the cave.
"Second Brother, what do we do now?" Wang Yugan asked.
"What else can we do? Go in and capture the people! Right now, we're catching turtles in a pot!" Wang Yutao said without the least bit of hesitation.
At this time, a martial artist said rather fearfully, "Y-Your Excellency, this place is the Ghost King Cave!"
This martial artist was the guide that the Wang Family found.
Wang Yutao's face fell, and he said, "So what if it's the Ghost King Cave?"
The guide said, "The Ghost King Cave is the most dangerous place in the Yin Wind Den, the evil spirits inside too many to count. Furthermore, the Ghost King Cave's depths might have Two-star evil spirits existing! Once we startle the Two-star evil spirit, none of us can escape!"
Wang Yutao's expression also turned apprehensive when he heard that, but he became relieved very quickly and said with a cold snort, "What about that? I don't believe that that brat dares to enter the depths of the Ghost King Cave! Go!"
That guide was helpless and could only enter the Ghost King Cave.
...
Chang Liang five people had also never entered the Ghost King Cave before. This place was all human martial artists' forbidden area.
So after entering, Chang Liang five people ran wildly without distinguishing the direction at all.
But what made them surprised was that along the way, they actually did not even encounter a single evil spirit!
No idea how long they ran either, they suddenly saw that there was a figure ahead, currently sitting cross-legged.
"Big Brother, it … it's that kid!"
"If not for this boy, Number Three and Number Seven wouldn't have died either! This score, we have to find him to settle it properly!"
"Big Brother, kill this kid! Take revenge for Number Three and Number Seven!"
These few people were almost in tears when talking. Clearly, the death of Number Three and Number Seven, they were all unable to accept it.
