Chapter 71 Chapter 71 "So beautiful." The island owner looked...
"It's so beautiful." The island master looked at the uncontrollable hatred on the faces of those clan leaders, as if looking at shining stars, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said slowly with emotion.
"You really can't give up on this?" The sect leader asked with red eyes and gritted teeth.
"Of course not," the island owner sneered, and said without hesitation, "If I give up on this matter, how can I explain to those monsters outside? If I give up on this matter, how can I explain to myself?
I will regret it for the rest of my life! I can fail, but I can’t just give up without doing anything. What’s more, I may not lose, so why not gamble? ”
The sect leader lowered his eyes and nodded. Obviously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with these words. He just didn't want Penglai to end up like him, so he tried his best to stop it.
It didn't matter if he was rejected. This was all he could do. Anything more would be useless. After all, Penglai Mountain had done nothing wrong to him, but the people of Penglai might not. He had done his best up to this point and there was no need to continue.
What's more, there are so many people in Penglai that they may not be unable to defeat the enemy. On the contrary, because they are attacked, they have a legitimate reason to eliminate all the monsters in the Monster Island.
Although the people from Penglai may not rescue him as the sect leader after they come to the Demon Island, his fate may not be very good, but it may be a little better than it is now.
He could hold on to this tiny hope and force himself to deceive himself and live out his last few days. This was not because he was afraid of death, but simply because he wanted to know the outcome.
He didn't want to die without doing anything.
He fell silent.
The island owner turned and left.
Not long after, the demons heard the news from somewhere and mistakenly believed that the island owner had agreed to the clan leader's request. They swarmed over and surrounded the island owner, like a loyal old official who was about to die for his advice. One after another, they shouted, "We can't listen to him!"
"We can't listen to him! He's on the enemy's side, so of course he speaks for the enemy! If we really listen to him, we'll all be finished! They don't want us to live!"
"I heard that he asked you not to attack Penglai, and you agreed? Did you really agree? You can't agree! He said those words for Penglai's sake. He would rather think about Penglai than you, which shows that he doesn't love you. Why did you listen to him? If you listen to him, it will be too late to regret it!"
The island owner waved his hand at them and said, "I know what you mean. I will not ignore you for a prisoner who was once my enemy."
The demons all quieted down, their eyes and faces were red, they were excited and a little grateful, and they choked up and said, "Island Master! We will follow you forever!"
The island owner smiled at them very gently: "You can imagine that I live with you day and night, how can he compare with you in terms of feelings? I live and die with you, how can he compare with you in terms of deep friendship?
If I abandon you and choose him, wouldn't it be a tragedy for my loved ones and a joy for my enemies? I won't do such a ridiculous thing. After all these years, don't you trust me?"
"We trust the island owner!" The demons were so moved that they almost burst into tears.
Later, the demons defeated Penglai again. Penglai did not have a second leader, but they were shocked when they learned that the previous leader was still alive. They came up with an idea immediately.
The leader of Penglai on the Demon Island received a letter sent by bird from Penglai.
The letter said that they were very happy to know that the sect leader was still alive and wanted to come and visit him, but the situation was tense now and there was really no way, so they asked the sect leader to forgive them.
They also said that they already knew that the sect leader was now in a difficult situation and regretted his original choice very much. They hoped that the sect leader could forgive them and provide them with help.
The specific method of providing help is: they hope that the leader of Penglai can confuse the owner of the Demon Island and assassinate him. As long as the owner of the Demon Island dies, the demons will be scattered and no one will submit to anyone. At that time, it will be much easier to defeat them.
Afterwards they said that they were powerless now and could not provide anything good, except for this piece of paper which had been soaked in a deadly poison.
As long as this poison is swallowed, the whole body will emit toxins. After close contact, the poison can be passed on to other people. It is definitely effective even for people with high cultivation levels. They have tested it.
Although I don't know how they tested it, but since they said so, it must be effective. And as the sect leader unfolded the letter, the poison should have already penetrated deeply into his body.
What a good calculation.
As long as the sect leader receives this letter, he will be poisoned regardless of whether he reads it or not. As long as he comes into close contact with the owner of the Demon Island after touching the letter, the poison will definitely enter the body of the owner, and when the poison takes effect, the person will naturally die.
By then, there would be no need for the monsters on the Monster Island to keep their leader. They would probably let him die together with the island master. To round it off, it could be considered a sacrificial death or a burial object.
The demons don't care that this situation is extremely immoral.
They are not human beings and do not have that kind of thing.
The people from the Demon Island sent this letter, first of all, they could poison their previous surviving leader. Secondly, they could have a chance to poison the island owner. Thirdly, even if they couldn't poison the island owner, as long as he was slightly injured or sick, and looked affected, it would be enough to make the demons panic, and their morale would be low, which would definitely be beneficial to them.
It can be said that this game is a complete three-birds-with-one-stone move.
However, the person who was plotted against, Penglai's new leader, was very unhappy.
He gritted his teeth, crumpled the piece of letter paper into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it. This didn't mean that he was willing to die for the people of Penglai. It only meant that he had made up his mind that no matter whether he could get out or not, he would try and get out immediately.
He must take revenge himself!
After swallowing the ball of paper, he indeed showed symptoms of poisoning. His skin turned pale, his face flushed, he felt weak all over, vomited blood, and coughed frequently. He was unable to get up and could only lie in bed. A strong and strange fragrance emanated from his whole body.
He knew that the smell was that of poison, but others didn't know and would only think that it was perfume powder he had found to dress himself up before he died.
The demons are not very clear about these things, so no one cares, no one knows, and no one really recognizes them.
When the island master of Demon Island heard the news that the sect master was coughing up blood, he was stunned for a moment and almost thought he had heard it wrong. After all, before the sect master was captured by him, his cultivation was the best in Penglai.
It was unbelievable that a person with the highest cultivation level in Penglai would actually fall ill and cough up blood. No matter how he tortured him before, the other party had never coughed up blood!
The island owner was a little suspicious.
Could it be that the news of the attack on Penglai was too shocking for him and he really couldn't accept it, so he was depressed and kept thinking about it, and he became so angry that he vomited blood?
Or maybe he did it on purpose. He wanted to vomit blood to attract the attention of the owner of the Demon Island so that the demons could not attack Penglai with all their strength, thus buying time for Penglai?
He doesn't look like such a kind person? He was sent to the Demon Island by Penglai himself! It's fine that he doesn't hate them, but he begged for this matter, which is amazing. He also helped them? Did he hit his brain on the table?
What kind of table is so hard that it can even break his head?
The island owner became curious and went back immediately. He opened the door and saw the bedridden sect leader. He looked just as the news said, his condition was not good and he was about to die.
The island owner closed the door and walked over carefully. Before he got close, he saw that he had opened his eyes, as if he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He was not sleeping but just resting.
Because keeping eyes open is very tiring, especially for a weak patient. Anyway, he has nothing else to do, so it is better to close his eyes than to open them.
So that's it.
The island owner stood there, hesitated, walked forward, and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
The leader smiled, sat up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, looked at him and asked, "Look at me, do you think I'm good?"
It doesn't look good, much worse than when everything was fine. The more he looks at it, the more he looks like he's going to die.
The island owner frowned and did not answer for a moment.
The leader's pale face showed a bit of weakness. He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand very gently, frowned and asked the island owner: "It's so cold, can you hug me?"
The island owner thought about it.
He looked like he was about to die, so there shouldn't be any problem. Just try to satisfy his wish before he died. It wasn't a difficult thing. If he couldn't satisfy the big thing, should he be embarrassed about the small thing? There was really no need.
The island owner held him in his arms.
He lowered his head slightly, eyes drooping, the corners of his lips still curled up, but his expression was full of sarcasm in hatred, and a little self-mockery in the sarcasm. Then he slowly closed his eyes, pulled the island owner's sleeve and asked: "Can you rest with me for a while? I'm a little sleepy."
The time is too short, and perhaps the poisoning is not serious, which would make it difficult to die.
The island owner had no doubts, nodded and said, "Well, things outside don't really need me that much, so it's okay to be absent for a little while. I'll spend this little time with you."
It wasn't long before the poison took effect.
The island owner suddenly vomited blood and felt weak all over. He looked in the mirror and his face turned pale. He immediately realized that he was probably tricked, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The clan leader slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to die. The island owner immediately realized that the culprit was right next to him. He pointed at him and died without saying a word.
