"I only agreed to help you deal with the outsiders, I didn't say we had to win. Since we've put in the effort, shouldn't you give us some compensation?"
Luo Tangping then realized the trap in Mr. Luo's words and couldn't help but retort, "But I said I would resolve it!"
Mr. Luo sat down directly in the chair and glanced at Luo Tangping sideways. "No problem. You said you'd take care of it, but I only agreed to help you deal with them. There's no contradiction."
"You haven't met my requirements, so I won't give you the item!"
Luo Tangping was also angry. Fengshen and Yanqing were still alive and well, and the situation hadn't changed. Why should he give the divine flower?
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo merely chuckled, maintaining his previous amiable tone, but his words sent a chill down Luo Tangping's spine: "You don't want to give it? Then I advise you to carefully consider whether you can bear the consequences."
After he finished speaking, more than a dozen charred corpses entered from outside the yurt, all staring at Luo Tangping menacingly, their threat obvious.
Luo Tangping opened his mouth, unwilling, but he could only obediently take out the divine flower.
If he had known these guys were so unreasonable, why would he have let them in?
Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at the stargazer.
That good-for-nothing is more of a hindrance than a help, bringing such a disaster upon Shengtian.
The Stargazer huddled silently to one side, not daring to utter a word. Having witnessed the charred corpses' abilities, he knew that Sheng Tian was incapable of subduing them and might even be subdued by them instead. He never expected his guess to come true so quickly.
Luo Tangping took out two divine flowers and handed them to Mr. Luo.
"Just two? Are you kidding me?" Mr. Luo didn't answer.
Luo Tangping wanted to retort, but then swallowed his words.
Reluctantly, she took out two more flowers, saying, "This is all we have in stock; we won't have any more."
Do you think I believe that?
As the two were struggling, suddenly, Luo Tangping felt a lightness in his hand.
The four divine flowers vanished without a trace.
Luo Tangping: "?"
He sensed something was wrong and looked up at Mr. Luo, only to see that Mr. Luo's face was extremely gloomy.
He quickly explained, "It wasn't me. I don't know how the divine flower disappeared. I didn't mean to take it back!"
Mr. Luo, how could he believe that?
He slapped Luo Tangping to the ground. "Since you're so ungrateful, then I'll take this place!"
He gently waved his hand, and the charred corpses received the order to begin attacking the people of Shengtianli.
Luo Tangping was then lifted up by Mr. Luo by the collar. "Where did you put those flowers? If you hand them over obediently, I might spare your life."
As he spoke, a thin black thread emerged from Mr. Luo's hand and instantly disappeared halfway into Luo Tangping's skin.
"If you listen to me, I'll pull out this thread. If you dare to play any tricks on me again, I'll turn you into one of my kind, the lowest kind at that."
Luo Tangping had personally witnessed the power of these fine threads. Once the thread completely penetrated a person's body, that person would slowly transform into a monster just like these creatures over the following period of time.
He was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly.
They had no choice but to take out all the divine flowers from their backpacks.
but……
Before it was even handed to Mr. Luo, half of the divine flower had already disappeared.
The air froze again.
Luo Tangping and Mr. Luo stared at each other for a few seconds. Luo Tangping was the first to react and shouted fiercely, "It wasn't me! There's something unseen in the sky that's stealing the Divine Flower!"
He then quickly showed Mr. Luo his empty backpack.
"Look, I didn't take the divine flower back."
Just then, the stargazer whispered from the side, "Is it that woman? She can turn invisible. Our two sides have such a deep grudge. Today was supposed to be the day the gods declared war on us. It would be strange if she didn't come and kick us while we're down."
He said, "Why haven't I seen that woman at all today?"
So they were hiding right next to them, plotting something bad!
"Ah, yes, yes, it must be her. You have no idea how capable that woman is. She suddenly appeared and stirred up the whole grassland. Several of our forces were robbed of their divine flowers by her. I'd estimate she has at least a hundred divine flowers on her."
Seeing Mr. Luo's expressionless face, Luo Tangping knew he didn't believe him, so he had no choice but to continue: "It's true. There were people like you around her before, black, able to fly, and indestructible. By the way, what was her name... Yun Jian, I don't know if you know her."
Upon hearing the name Yun Jian, Mr. Luo's pupils contracted.
It's her!
He thought she had died in the attack by those people, but he didn't expect her to arrive on the grassland ahead of time.
Seeing that Mr. Luo was interested, Luo Tangping quickly told him in detail what had happened to Yun Jian in the past few days.
"It seems you don't like her very much? If you're willing, Shengtian is willing to do everything in its power to help you hunt her down, and you can choose the divine flower you get first."
Mr. Luo's expression softened, and he released his grip on Luo Tangping.
Luo Tangping was secretly delighted. Did this mean he had agreed?
Fortunately, he survived.
Meanwhile, Yun Jian, wearing a stealth suit, snatched Luo Tangping's divine flower and then slipped away.
Given the stargazers' preconceived notions about her, they guessed it was only a matter of time before she started causing trouble.
Yun Jian sent a message asking for Bai Yu and the others' address, and then rushed over there without stopping.
She hadn't expected that Tengyun Pavilion and the charred corpses would appear at the same time and turn the tide of the battle into what it is now.
It seems that Shengtian will soon change hands.
As soon as Bai Yu saw her, he quickly came over and asked, "What exactly happened in Shengtian? How come there are charred corpses?"
Yun Jian recounted the internal affairs of Shengtian to them, then took out the astrolabe and asked, "Who among you is interested in this?"
Bai Yu glanced at it twice. "This is the stargazer's treasure?"
Yun nodded.
Bai Yu thought for two seconds, then shook his head: "No, this thing is for use at night. I'd rather use that time to sleep and recharge."
The fourth brother looked conflicted.
After a long pause, he shook his head again: "No, I'm not very smart. If the information I deduce is wrong, it would be bad to mislead the boss."
As for Xiao Zhen, she didn't even glance at the horoscope, saying, "This thing isn't suitable for me."
Yun Jian nodded. "Yes, you're a child, and growing up is the most important thing. Lack of sleep will affect your height."
After saying that, Lü Ping said helplessly, "Fine, then it's just me left."
He walked over, took the astrolabe in his hand, and looked at it. "How do you use this?"
Yun Jian shook his head. "I don't know either. You should figure it out yourself first."
The group had no immediate intention of confronting the charred corpse head-on. After finding the astrological chart's owner, they hurried on their way to leave this dangerous place.
Halfway there, Yun received a private message.
She thought it was the Winged Wolf King, but when she clicked on it, it turned out to be someone she never expected—the Dark Gang.
"Are you free? Let's meet and talk."
Yun Jian raised an eyebrow, mentally reviewing all her connections with the Dark Gang, and began to wonder: Could this person be here to seek revenge on Yin Huan for her death?
