"Zhang Youzhi, it seems that your parents also hope that you can be a man with ambition and lofty aspirations, so, stand up. Why should a powerful spiritual master bow down to me, a spiritual master?" Gu Yuan said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Youzhi who was kneeling on the ground.
"ah?"
Zhang Youzhi looked up in surprise, and seeing Gu Yuan's smiling expression, he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"What? You like kneeling so much? Get up!" Gu Yuan said.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Zhang Youzhi stood up hurriedly, and his feelings towards Gu Yuan suddenly changed.
"I know what you're thinking, but don't forget, in this world, the strong are respected. Without sufficient strength, even if you have good things, you won't be able to keep them. On the contrary, you may even lose your life. Although my strength is not that great, my sister Yu'er is a top expert. I can get her to help me, which is also part of my strength. Although you don't accept it, this is the truth!"
"Yes! You are absolutely right, sir!"
Zhang Youzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had to admit that without strength, he had no say. Just look at it now.
He was a powerful man at the peak of the spiritual master level, but he had to listen to a lecture from a spiritual master boy. All this was not because of Gu Yuan, but because of the girl beside him.
"Originally, according to common sense, I should kill you. After all, this matter is of great importance. Leaving you here will only bring me the risk of information leaking. But I am a kind-hearted person and don't want to kill you all for no reason, so now I want you to tell me a reason to let you stay." Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi and said.
Zhang Youzhi was no fool, so he naturally understood the implicit meaning of Gu Yuan's words.
Looking at the dozen or so people around him, Zhang Youzhi sighed inwardly, then said, "Master, if you have any instructions, please tell us directly. We will definitely do as you say. As long as you can spare our lives, we will do whatever it takes to be your slaves!"
After hearing what Zhang Youzhi said, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there was a terrifying strong man in front of them. What was the point of fighting to the death? They would just die in vain. It would be better to compromise!
"Haha, it seems Elder Zhang is quite perceptive! I like people like you who understand!"
Gu Yuan smiled, then his expression gradually became serious. He said, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. Although you are members of the Huoyun Sect, the spirit stone veins beneath the Huoyun Sect do not belong to you. There's no reason for this; it's because we're strong that we have the final say. Do you have any objections to what I'm saying?"
"No!"
"No!"
Everyone shook their heads, and although they were unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.
"That's good! And you can't go out now, because I don't trust you for the time being, so in the next few days, you should still do what you should do and continue to dig spirit stones. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. I will give you a portion of the spirit stones you dig out every day. When I say you can go out, you can finish. Do you have any objection to this suggestion?" Gu Yuan asked.
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, some of them had obvious dissatisfaction in their eyes, but they didn't dare to show it.
"If you are not satisfied with anything, you can tell me directly. I won't do anything to you." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"I don't agree!" someone stood up and said.
Zhang Youzhi's face changed, and he cursed the person who stood up as an idiot in his heart. How dare you stand up?
"Oh? Sir, do you have any opinions? Tell me about it." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are strong? This is my Huoyun Sect. The discovered mineral veins naturally belong to our Huoyun Sect. What's the difference between you occupying it directly and being a robber?" The person who stood up said indignantly.
Gu Yuan raised his lips slightly, looked at the man, and said, "You're right, there's really no difference between me and a robber."
The man was stunned and simply couldn't understand Gu Yuan's routine.
"Fish!" Gu Yuan called softly.
Chi Yuer nodded slightly, and without saying anything, a light purple flame shot out and landed on the man. The man had not yet reacted, and by the time he reacted, he was completely engulfed by the flames.
No matter how hard it thrashed, it was of no use and it could only roar helplessly.
After just two or three breaths, the screams gradually faded away and silence returned to the underground.
"If anyone has any opinions, feel free to speak up. I won't blame you." Gu Yuan said calmly.
Zhang Youzhi looked at the small handful of pale ashes on the ground, his whole body trembling, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
"This boy is a devil!"
This was what Zhang Youzhi was thinking in his heart, but he had no intention of saying it out loud because he was afraid that he would become like the person just now.
The rest of the people were also extremely pale, and they lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to say a word.
"Since you're silent, I'll assume you have no objections?"
Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi and asked, "What about you? Do you have any opinions?"
"No...no! None of us have it!"
Zhang Youzhi said hurriedly.
"Well, that's good!"
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, then took out a jade bottle from the space ring and threw it to Zhang Youzhi.
"Sir, this is..."
Zhang Youzhi looked confused.
"Everyone take one pill. This is to prevent any of you from trying to run away secretly. Of course, it's okay if you don't take it. You can't get out anyway." Gu Yuan said.
Zhang Youzhi's hand holding the jade bottle trembled even more.
"Master, we are willing to work for you and stay here. Please spare our lives!" Zhang Youzhi was about to cry.
"Why? This is not a poison. It's just a little gadget I researched when I was free. It won't kill you. But after taking this thing, you need to take an antidote every three days. If you don't have an antidote, your body will feel like being devoured and bitten by thousands of bugs. That feeling is very good!" said Gu Yuan.
Everyone present, except Chi Yuer, began to tremble in their hearts.
Zhang Youzhi had just changed his opinion of Gu Yuan because of what he said before, but now... he is simply a devil!
"Hurry up, ten breaths of time, no one has one, if you don't eat it, you will end up like him."
Gu Yuan pointed at the handful of pale ash on the ground and said coldly.
Ten breaths passed, and no one present failed to take it.
Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good! Isn't this all right? Look, as long as you dig for spirit stones diligently, you will not only be rewarded with spirit stones, but I may also give you some medicinal pills. If I plan to establish a power in the future, I will definitely consider you first!"
