"Now, let's move forward!"
At his command, Ao Bing ordered the convoy to continue forward.
Although he is now almost certain that Chong Heihu was involved in the attack on their Sihai Tongbao Pavilion.
But why did Chong Heihu attack their Sihai Tongbao Pavilion?
Besides Chong Heihu, did Chong Houhu know about this matter?
Leaving aside Chongcheng, what about the other forces?
The previous formation was not something Chongcheng could have set up. So what force was behind it?
How did they manage to contact Chong Heihu?
Ao Bing still doesn't have a clear answer to any of these questions; he must find more clues from the smallest details.
Further along the road, more corpses appeared one after another.
Some were horse demons, and some were soldiers from Chongcheng.
As the number of corpses continued to increase, the cultivators at the scene frowned even more deeply.
Cultivators are not so easy to kill, even if the owners of these corpses were far less powerful than Shen Gongbao in their previous lives.
But once you reach a certain level of cultivation, everyone has one or two secret techniques to save their lives.
Whether one can defeat a Golden Immortal is hard to say, but under normal circumstances, quite a few people can at least survive a Golden Immortal's attack.
But now, one corpse after another keeps appearing in front of them.
This shows that Shen Gongbao's strength had reached an outrageous level.
What if Shen Gongbao attacks them?
Will they be able to escape with their lives from Shen Gongbao?
As soon as this thought crossed their minds, everyone felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet and rush straight to the top of their heads.
Just as everyone was filled with fear and unease, another exclamation suddenly rang out.
It turned out that the body was discovered by the people who went ahead to scout the way.
Everyone rushed forward to examine the body, and upon seeing the corpse's face, they couldn't help but gasp in horror:
"Chong Heihu!"
"Chong Heihu is dead too!"
"This is Chong Heihu, the younger brother of Chong Houhu, the Marquis of the North! He's dead too!"
"With Chong Heihu dead, we're truly finished!"
While many were horrified by the sight of Chong Heihu's corpse, Xie Hengjiang calmly stepped forward. He examined Chong Heihu's body, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips:
“Since Chong Heihu dared to openly attack our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, he never intended to let us go. Yet now, you are actually grieving over his death. It’s utterly ridiculous!”
As he spoke, he glanced around at everyone present with a look of disdain:
"The moment Chong Heihu led Chongcheng soldiers to attack our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, there was no room for maneuver between us and Chongcheng."
Crab River's voice was cold and resolute:
"His death is not a bad thing for us, but a great thing."
"Because, the power of Chongcheng decreases by one point, the threat to us will decrease accordingly, and the stronger Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao is, the more secure we will be."
"I know what you people are thinking. You just think that you are only hired by my Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, or even just working with us, and that Chongcheng will let you off the hook if a battle breaks out!"
"But think about it, whether it was the White Wolf Clan that suddenly appeared before or the Chongcheng soldiers who appeared in the White Mist Formation later, did they give you a chance to choose before they made their move? You have long been bound to our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion."
The commotion here also caught Ao Bing's attention, or rather, the performance at Xie Hengjiang was at Ao Bing's behest.
These non-Four Seas Treasure Pavilion cultivators had previously disobeyed his orders, and since no attack had occurred, Ao Bing had these people go.
But now, a battle could break out at any moment, and he absolutely cannot allow a group of forces completely out of his control to exist within the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan.
Seeing that Xie Hengjiang had finished speaking, Ao Bing stepped forward and stood before the group:
"What General Crab said just now is exactly what I wanted to say. With a formidable enemy at hand, there should be no dissenting voices within our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan. From now on, I, Ao Bing, welcome anyone who is willing to stand with Sihai Tongbao Pavilion through thick and thin. Sihai Tongbao Pavilion will certainly not skimp on your rewards. As for those who feel that Sihai Tongbao Pavilion has implicated everyone and want to leave, they are free to go. Sihai Tongbao Pavilion will absolutely not force anyone to stay."
At this moment, the eyes of all the cultivators present were filled with conflict.
The Sihai Tongbao Pavilion was known for its excellent treatment of its members. So, before this, they wanted to stay in the caravan but did not want their lives to be threatened. What they did was to keep pressuring Ao Bing to drive away Shen Gongbao in order to avoid a battle with Chongcheng.
But now, Ao Bing, the third prince of Longhai, has directly presented a choice:
Either stay in the caravan and behave yourself.
Either get out of here.
However, Ao Bing did not wait for the others to give him an answer to their dilemma.
He had just seen Chong Heihu's corpse.
As a young general in the northern border of the Yin Shang Dynasty, Chong Heihu has always been known for his bravery and skill in battle, and his own strength has also reached the Golden Immortal realm.
A human general at the Golden Immortal realm plus a prehistoric beast at the mid-Golden Immortal stage.
With such strength, an ordinary mid-stage Golden Immortal would surely die, and even a late-stage Golden Immortal would be completely suppressed.
However, Shen Gongbao single-handedly killed both of them.
With this level of combat strength, he was enough to win over the Four Seas Dragon Palace. Not to mention, the corpses along the way all showed that Shen Gongbao had saved everyone in the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion once again.
