Chapter 733: Really Big Face
The survivors inside the stone chamber were all stunned by this sudden turn of events. Before they could even react, a figure leaped down from above them.
Since he was there on business rather than sightseeing, Feng Tianyu was dressed much more simply than usual.
Even so, that simple white cartoon-patterned casual outfit was really out of place among the poor people present, who were all covered in dirt and dressed in black or gray.
The people in the group had often secretly mocked and ridiculed Feng Tianyu when they saw his outfit.
But now, let alone cartoon casual wear, even a tattered burlap sack would look like a fashion blockbuster in the eyes of these people who had barely escaped death. They would spontaneously add hundreds of layers of filters, making them shine as if they had seen the legendary savior in person.
Feng Tianyu had no idea what kind of image he had in everyone's eyes at this moment. He glanced at the giant spider that had been cut in half, then at the crowd who were standing there dumbfounded, staring at him. His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Still alive?"
Everyone then seemed to wake up from a dream. Captain Liu and He Ziyuan were the first to react and rushed to Feng Tianyu's side.
"Mr. Feng! Mr. Feng, are you alright?"
Feng Tianyu looked at He Ziyuan with a puzzled expression. Only then did He Ziyuan realize what a stupid thing he had said. Compared to the spotless Mr. Feng, these people were the ones who seemed to have something on their minds!
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask Mr. Feng how he found this place?"
"Feel."
"Feel?"
"I can sense a round presence here."
He Ziyuan was stunned. Having had several encounters with Ye Wanxi, he naturally knew who Feng Tianyu was referring to as "Yuanyuan".
So, the reason Mr. Feng came here is because they were just attacked by the giant spider, which triggered the peace talisman and allowed Mr. Feng to sense Miss Ye's presence.
While feeling relieved, He Ziyuan also felt a little sour. Even though the other person was just stating the facts, he inexplicably felt like he had been shown up!
Captain Liu didn't think much of it. He looked at Feng Tianyu with awe and asked with a hint of eagerness, "I wonder if our teammates who got separated from us are traveling with Mr. Feng? Are they alright?"
Feng Tianyu nodded and simply replied, "It's in the back."
Upon learning that the others were traveling with Feng Tianyu, Captain Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that with someone of such exceptional combat prowess blocking their way, those people would have a much more comfortable life than they did.
And that was indeed the case. The group that followed Feng Tianyu was not far from them and quickly caught up.
Most of the people inside the stone chamber had escaped death and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, their faces showing lighthearted smiles.
Only one person, ever since the appearance of the Sealed Heaven Domain, had eyes that seemed to be poisoned, staring intently at him, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
"Why didn't you come sooner? Why? These people died because you were late! It's all your fault!"
The discordant sound echoed throughout the stone chamber, causing the atmosphere inside to suddenly freeze.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the person who had spoken, their faces filled with shock, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
Once He Ziyuan saw who the speaker was, he could no longer contain himself and angrily shouted, "It's you again! Gao Wu, are you out of your mind? You were secretly talking badly about Mr. Feng behind his back, mocking him for being incompetent. Now that Mr. Feng has come all the way to save us, you're complaining that he didn't come sooner. Don't you feel ashamed at all?"
He Ziyuan's junior brother chimed in, "That's right, that's right. If you're sick, go get treatment. What are you barking at like a dog? Do you think everyone knows you're a dog? No, comparing you to a dog is an insult to dogs. At least dogs have a sense of shame, but you don't!"
Gao Wu seemed to be provoked by the accusations from He Ziyuan and his fellow disciples, as well as the gazes of the surrounding crowd. He stiffened his neck and shouted loudly, "Don't make baseless accusations against me. Do you have any evidence that I talk badly about others behind their backs? And did I say anything wrong just now? If he's so powerful, why did he let us be separated by such a low-level mechanism? Why didn't he come to rescue us sooner?"
"If he had come sooner, none of us would be dead. So many people, so many lives, lost here alive. He clearly had the ability to protect everyone, so why didn't he protect us? Why didn't he save us? I think he did it on purpose, deliberately separated from us, deliberately came so late, just so that we would die here so he could take all the spoils!"
As Gao Wu spoke, he looked at Feng Tianyu again, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
Just as He Ziyuan and his fellow disciples had guessed, this person did indeed have some past grievances with Ye Wanxi.
The second-generation Xuan who had his finger melted by the Soul-Summoning Banner was Gao Wu's cousin.
Gao Wu's relationship with his cousin and even his aunt's family wasn't particularly good, and his targeting of Feng Tianyu wasn't out of any desire to avenge his cousin.
He simply resented Ye Wanxi because his cousin's family had fallen from grace, and he, who had only entered the metaphysics association through his cousin's family connections, had seen his status and treatment plummet.
How could he not resent the culprit when his own interests were harmed?
The hatred before was relatively one-sided, but the hatred now is more real.
It was because one of the people who had just died was his own brother!
He Ziyuan and the others were genuinely amused by his shameless and scoundrelly logic, just as another group of people caught up with them.
As soon as I landed, I heard a commotion among the group, which left me somewhat bewildered.
"What's going on? Why are they arguing? Could it be that someone did something wicked during that life-or-death situation?"
Inside the stone chamber, some people from the same sect or team as the newcomers answered their questions and briefly explained the whole story.
It was only after they asked that everyone realized that someone had done something immoral when their lives were in danger.
After hearing everyone's explanation, the later arrivals were all speechless and dumbfounded, while also feeling somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, they were led by Mr. Feng and had an incredibly smooth journey without getting hurt. Otherwise, if they had encountered a life-or-death situation like this, it's hard to guarantee that there wouldn't have been a beast in the group.
After the initial relief, everyone was also filled with righteous indignation, thinking, "Look at the nonsense this guy is spouting!"
Going into a tomb is inherently dangerous, especially when you know beforehand that there are strange things inside. You should be prepared to die inside.
Now they're really unlucky, running into some big guys in the tomb. Not only did they almost die because they weren't skilled enough, but they also have the audacity to blame the people who came to save them. They're incredibly shameless!
