Chapter 499 The Deal



Wu Chenxi spread her hands to Master Jinshan and said, "Look, there are immediately different opinions. So it seems that no matter how many promises Master Jinshan makes, it's useless."

If she were to lend a hand, everyone would simply think it was their duty and wouldn't acknowledge the promise made by Master Jinshan.

Jin Shan was annoyed by Li Ai's interruption. He was trying his best, but there was always someone holding him back.

Since he's so confident, he might as well play the villain and let them do whatever they want.

With the talisman to dispel obstacles, those ghosts couldn't get close to them for a while, but they forgot that the talisman also had an expiration time.

Furthermore, since cultivation is not possible inside, how long can one sustain oneself with the spiritual energy stored within?

These are all troublemakers. This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson so they won't continue to be arrogant and offend people everywhere. Let them clean up the mess.

Seeing that Jin Shan kept silent, Wu Chenxi guessed his plan.

Walking leisurely behind, he said, "Are you really not going to do anything about it? It seems like this road is getting harder and harder to walk on."

Just in case, she slapped another talisman on her body, which made Jinshan's eyebrows twitch.

Those who are said to be practitioners are clearly highly accomplished in their spiritual practice.

You seem to care, but you can't take this opportunity to help your eldest disciple earn some cultivation resources. Let's see if those people can afford the price.

"What happened? The talisman stopped working?" Wu Chenxi asked sharply, baring her teeth.

"Some people are so selfish, seeing how hard you've worked." Although you didn't name names, everyone knows who you're talking about.

"Comrade Wu, after that, he had no small stack of talismans under his command. Now, let's share some with our family. You all remember his kindness."

Why doesn't he have a single disciple with talent for drawing talismans? His arrogant and wealthy demeanor is truly infuriating.

Without a layer of restraint, it's easy to get flustered and disorganized.

Wu Doumi said, "In that case, you've gained an advantage. How about you give him another Seven Thunder Talisman? It can be used outside, and we know that the tomb passage can hold up. If it collapses, we don't want to be implicated."

"That's all as it should be. When the time comes, if we beg for help, he can just calculate the price according to his later price." I helped so little afterward, and I didn't even do my best. Those people came all that way for no reason. Since we're going to share the spoils, how can this be a price to pay?

"Look at the spiritual energy beneath you all; you've already made things difficult for them by getting through that hurdle."

Jinshan: "Hmph, so he knows why we let someone like him join our team. Is this the time for us to work together as a family?"

Wu Doumi said, "If he takes his protective treasure first, leaving you without the ability to protect yourself, then you can be more cautious."

Gu Zicheng had intended to test the waters, but to his surprise, it actually worked. The other party even generously gave him one less Seven Thunder Talisman, so he quickly nodded in thanks.

Li Ai understands what you mean. Ending our fight against these ghosts means clearing them out so we can leave from there today. I don't think it'll be that complicated.

Xiao Jia originally thought that Li Ai would take the opportunity to seek help from Wu Doumi, but she did not expect such an outcome. Even Jin Shan's face remained tense.

I'm not as foolish as the other two. Back then, preserving my strength was the same as saving my life. Besides, I knew that Master Wu had a lot of hidden treasures, so I figured I should exchange for as much as I could.

Wu Doumi continued the conversation, focusing intently on the evil creature that was lunging at him. At that moment, anyone who denied it would be a fool.

That was something your master gave you to save your life. You should only use it as a last resort. But that person is so petty; he asked for it as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Look at what he's saying again. It turns out he only picks things that don't benefit him, but he's willing to give up everything for himself."

"Minister Jin, if he doesn't have any more, quickly give some more to the little guy." Wu Chenxi dragged her injured leg, performing the exorcism while struggling to move backward.

"Is that unusual? The talisman blocked so many deadly attacks for them." Li Ai said with a stern face, "Slow down, everyone, and hurry up and get out of there."

But if you respond, it means those people are willing to let you go, so Jinshan will hold back for now.

As he spoke, he slapped another talisman on his body, effortlessly dealing with the ghost faces on his own.

After losing their support, those people only cared about unleashing their killing moves and didn't care about their own safety at all. Now that the talisman has lost its effectiveness, of course they're adapting to it.

Zhong Qian said, "You've given them all your inventory. Be careful, even if it's just a small matter. Failure could be your downfall."

Wu Doumi said, "Uncle-Master, you suggested that at worst he should speak up. You know, a person's inherent flaws are the same no matter what position they are in."

“Comrade Li, what are you saying? If he gave you his protective magic weapon, you would remember his kindness.” Wu Doumi politely returned the favor.

Gu Zicheng and I were shocked to hear this, and we quickly checked the talismans beneath us, only to find that they had all turned to ash at the same time...

Just as I was thinking of putting in more effort to clear the area around me and make a clean-up, I was surprised when the other side threw out several array flags. Instantly, a quiet space was cleared around Wu Doumi and me. These ghosts could only bar their fangs and claws inside, but they could not retreat even a fraction of an inch.

Zhong Qianyue glanced at the crowd and then quietly joined in.

Wu Chenxi said, "...You also need to ensure your own safety before giving any left over to them. Besides, yours is clearly priced, so you'll always end up losing out, since you only agreed to help him, but you're making a private sacrifice."

We at Jinshan are not angry, but we can talk; we can only fight the enemy with difficulty.

What kind of relationship do these two sides have? Why make things so complicated for themselves?

"..."

Li Ai was truly speechless. Wu Doumi's quick agreement was only because of me; otherwise, given their friendliness towards me, if it were you, you would have ignored them.

Jinshan immediately clutched his chest. The man was quite arrogant, asking for his protective magic item as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gu Zicheng quickly took half a step forward, "Comrade Wu, do you know if you can exchange that piece of thousand-year-old peach wood for a talisman?"

Wu Doumi said, "Why should I give away my things for personal reasons? Do you expect them to give you everything they have once we get to the main tomb?"

"Anyway, there's no danger for the time being, and I'm sure you won't stand idly by when the time comes." After Jinshan finished speaking, he stood aside and watched Wu Chenxi's ability to change her expression. Sure enough, no matter what age this woman is, she can change her mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

A burst of spiritual energy struck, which shattered the ghostly face, but it also caused pain in the leg.

Wu Chenxi, his eyes bloodshot with rage, didn't notice that the life-saving talisman he had stuck on hadn't yet turned to ashes. Just as I felt a sharp pain under my foot, my thigh was torn open.
