The academy was extremely satisfied and excited.
Black Rat and his companions felt incredibly uneasy and anxious.
Black Rat watched helplessly as a box of grenades was carried away. Although he didn't show it on his face, his eyes were full of worry. He couldn't help but lean close to Zhou Cheng's ear and whisper, "Young Master."
"Giving away a hundred grenades to save the Black Dragon is too much of a threat for you."
"You actually..."
"Actually, there was another way. There was no need to suffer such a huge loss to save Black Dragon's life! Black Dragon must feel extremely guilty and would probably rather die at the hands of these people from Cheng Gui Pavilion."
Zhou Cheng looked up and took in the smug expressions of Senior Brother Hao and the Pavilion Master not far away.
He turned his head, his tone carrying a hint of strategic brilliance and a wry smile: "Do you think your young master is so easily threatened?"
Black Rat saw the confidence gleaming in Zhou Cheng's eyes and was immediately stunned.
The archers stared at Zhou Cheng with tense expressions.
Could it be?
Isn't that right?
"That young master...that grenade? Them?"
"Just wait and see!" Zhou Cheng said in a low voice, "Even if I give them what's mine, they won't have the life to hold onto it!"
As time gradually passed.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
soon,
Gunshots rang out from the east side of the back mountain.
From the west side of the back mountain, the sound of a whistle announcing the news also came.
It seems that both sides got what they wanted.
The young pavilion master glanced at the western direction, then smiled at Zhou Cheng and said, "Young Master Zhou, today's transaction has come to a successful conclusion. I have handed over the person you requested. Now, let's all leave!"
“Okay.” Zhou Cheng gestured for him to proceed.
The young pavilion master gave Zhou Cheng and the others a deep look, his gaze carrying a hint of contempt, as if mocking the Zhou family, who wielded deadly weapons, for being nothing more than cowards and easily manipulated.
After a cold sneer, the Pavilion Master led the academy members and quickly retreated towards the west side of the back mountain.
Zhou Cheng and the others also headed east.
The two groups of people started from the center and rushed off in opposite directions.
A distance of several hundred meters,
Zhou Cheng then saw that the two archers looked very anxious and kept waving at him.
"Young Master!!"
The archer rushed forward, his face contorted with rage. He was furious, his lips trembling, as if he had just witnessed something terrible: "Black Dragon... he just suddenly started foaming at the mouth!"
"Those damned, vicious bastards from Cheng Gui Pavilion actually secretly poisoned Black Dragon with a slow-acting poison!"
"They never even considered letting us take the Black Dragon away alive!"
This answer was exactly what Zhou Cheng had expected.
He immediately turned his head!
Looking westward, about two or three miles away.
From afar, Zhou Cheng saw the Pavilion Master and Senior Brother Hao carrying wooden crates as they evacuated, along with dozens of fast horses that had been prepared in advance.
"Cheng'er! They've been preparing to retreat for a long time, they even have their horses ready!" Zhou Shiying was so angry that he wanted to rush up and cut these untrustworthy people into a thousand pieces.
"From the very beginning, the Cheng Gui Pavilion group planned to make us return empty-handed. They wanted both the Black Dragon's life and a hundred killing weapons."
"I shouldn't have swallowed my anger back then; I should have killed them with a single blow!"
"Now they've traded away a hundred grenades. How can the human body withstand the power of grenades? Are we left with nothing but to watch them retreat?"
How could there not be?
Zhou Cheng calmly lowered his dark eyes, and placed his well-defined right hand into the pocket containing the detonator.
