Hearing what Mr. Zhou said, Li Jingheng's smile faded and he looked at him intently.
"It's really them... I didn't expect them to come back too."
After seeing it clearly, Li Jingheng said in surprise.
"That guy's called... something like Dahan, right? He's very conspicuous."
"Do you think Xiao Chen would also suspect that the bottom of the lake leads to the Tianjue Abyss?"
Suddenly, Mr. Zhou frowned.
"I can't?"
Li Jingheng was stunned and looked at Bai Ye and others.
"Hey, where's Xiao Chen? Why can't I see him?"
"He's not here. I suspect... he might have gone to the bottom of the lake."
Mr. Zhou said slowly.
"I felt something was wrong at the time. They must have suspected something, so they didn't leave... Now, they are back."
"Could it be that they never left here at all?"
Li Jingheng thought for a moment and asked.
"Do you think it's possible? This isn't just two or three days."
Mr. Zhou shook his head.
"If they don't have any ideas, they won't come back... We wanted to come back, and we've been looking for them for so many days, but it's not like they just happened to come back from shopping."
"Mr. Zhou, it's useless for us to guess so much. Let's just go over and ask."
Li Jingheng said this and looked at the lake again.
"It's very quiet. The troll is not here?"
"Do you think they will tell us the truth?"
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice.
"Even if they find out there's a secret here, they won't tell us."
"Too."
Li Jingheng nodded.
"So what should we do now? Go? Or not go? Or wait for them to leave?"
"This...may be a good opportunity."
Mr. Zhou looked at Li Jingheng and said slowly.
"What good opportunity?"
Li Jingheng didn't understand and asked in confusion.
"A good opportunity to kill Xiao Chen."
A strong murderous intent flashed in Mr. Zhou's eyes.
"Kill Xiao Chen?"
Li Jingheng was stunned.
"We are not friends, but we are not enemies either. Didn't we say before that we should try not to provoke him and be on good terms with him? Why do you suddenly want to kill him?"
"Before was before, now is now..."
As Mr. Zhou spoke, he pointed at the innate strong men who were following behind.
"Do you think they will say anything when they see Xiao Chen? Will we still be on good terms with Xiao Chen at that time? Believe it or not, when Xiao Chen finds out that we are from the outer world and have controlled these innate masters, he will immediately turn hostile and kill us!"
Hearing what Mr. Zhou said, Li Jingheng's expression changed and he nodded slowly.
"So, instead of others trying to kill us first, we should strike first."
Mr. Zhou said coldly.
"Make friends with Xiao Chen and let him work for us... Do you think there is a good chance?"
“Not much.”
Li Jingheng shook his head.
"Then, he cannot stay, and now is a good opportunity to kill him... Once he dies, the Ancient Martial Arts World will no longer have a leader, and it will be a mess. We will also seize the initiative and be one step ahead of other forces in the Heaven Outer Heaven."
When Mr. Zhou said this, he couldn't suppress his murderous intent.
"Can……"
Li Jingheng frowned, he was still thinking about Xiao Chen.
"Don't let your own thoughts delay important things."
Mr. Zhou interrupted Li Jingheng.
"Men, aren't there plenty?"
“…”
Li Jingheng's expression changed again. Could it be that Mr. Zhou knew?
Otherwise, why would you say that?
"Just do as I say. This opportunity will never come back again... With the three of us, plus these innate masters, we can do something."
"OK."
Li Jingheng gritted his teeth and thought that the more important thing was the matter.
As for Xiao Chen, I can only say... what a pity.
"Mr. Zhou, we will do whatever you say."
"Xiao Chen is most likely to have gone deep into the lake bottom. I think we should first understand the situation at the bottom of the lake before making any plans... If it doesn't work, we can capture them first and use them to threaten Xiao Chen."
Mr. Zhou narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, this is only the worst option. The best option... is to kill Xiao Chen directly and bury him at the bottom of the lake!"
"The key point is, we don't know the situation at the bottom of the lake, how can we let him die at the bottom of the lake?"
Li Jingheng also gave up the idea of having anything to do with Xiao Chen. If such a big threat could be eliminated, the benefits would naturally outweigh the disadvantages.
"Well, let's hide in the dark and observe."
Mr. Zhou thought about it, then looked at the old slave.
"Go to the bottom of the lake and see what's going on there, and then we can make our next plan."
"yes."
The old slave responded.
"Remember, be careful and don't let them find out."
Mr. Zhou warned.
"Let's wait here. It looks like they won't leave any time soon. We still have time for everything."
"good."
Li Jingheng nodded and looked at the calm lake. What a pity, he was still thinking about conquering such a charming guy.
Zhou Lao and his group hid in the dark, while the old slave found an inconspicuous place, entered the lake, and dived to the bottom of the lake.
Bai Ye and the others who were practicing did not notice Zhou Lao and his group at all.
Xiao Lin's attention was also focused on the screen.
At least, he can accompany Xiao Chen spiritually, making Xiao Chen feel that he is not alone.
"I hope everything goes well. If we find the essence of water, we can build a divine foundation..."
Xiao Lin muttered to himself.
In the past, he could still try his best to find the star stone for Xiao Chen.
But now, he could do nothing for Xiao Chen.
I can only pray in my heart and keep you company.
Soon, another half hour passed.
The old slave came out of the lake and returned quietly to where Zhou Lao and others were hiding.
"how?"
When Li Jingheng saw the old slave coming back, he asked hurriedly.
"There is a big crack at the bottom of the lake, I don't know where it leads to..."
The old slave reported.
"I dived for a while, it was pitch black and I couldn't see the way... Other than that, I didn't see anything else."
"Big crack...that's it."
Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up.
"This crack must lead to the Abyss of Heaven, and the trolls came to this lake through this big crack."
"Mr. Zhou, do you mean to say that Xiao Chen also knows that the big crack leads to Tianjue Abyss, and he has already followed the crack to Tianjue Abyss?"
Li Jingheng asked hurriedly.
"Um."
Mr. Zhou nodded.
"That's the only explanation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so long and still not come up..."
"Yes, he went down, but he didn't attract Xiao Chen's attention. If Xiao Chen was at the bottom of the lake, he would definitely have discovered him."
Li Jingheng thought about it and nodded.
"Then Elder Zhou, what should we do? Should we go through the big rift and head to Tianjueyuan? Or should we control the people on the lakeside first?"
"No, there's no need to bother."
Mr. Zhou shook his head and took out a few balls.
"We can use the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Ball to collapse the large cracks underground, so that Xiao Chen can't come back... If it collapses suddenly underground, it might cause various reactions, and Xiao Chen will most likely die inside."
"Hunyuan Thunderbolt Ball...Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to have such a sharp weapon."
Li Jingheng looked at the ball in Mr. Zhou's hand and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Now that we are here, we have to make some preparations."
Mr. Zhou smiled.
"Once the big underground crack collapses, then... we can just kill them or control them."
“Good idea.”
Li Jingheng nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll go into the water to place the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Ball, and after it explodes, you guys will attack and catch them off guard."
Mr. Zhou looked at Xiao Lin and others and said.
"Mr. Zhou, I think...it might be better if we don't show up."
Li Jingheng thought for a moment and said.
"Our goal is to kill Xiao Chen. Since there is a high probability of killing Xiao Chen, it doesn't matter whether we deal with them or not... They are quite powerful. Whether we control them or kill them, I'm afraid we will have to pay a price."
"That's fine."
Old Zhou glanced at Xiao Lin again, but because he was far away, he couldn't see any change in his aura.
But he remembered that Xue Chunqiu and the others were very strong.
If a real fight breaks out, there will definitely be losses.
At least some of the innate masters they control must die...
And if they killed Xiao Chen, Xue Chunqiu and others would most likely fight to the death and would not be used by them.
So all in all, a fight would do more harm than good.
"As long as Xiao Chen dies, they won't matter. There's no need to fight them to the death."
Li Jingheng said again.
"Okay, then you guys hide well, and wait for me to detonate the bottom of the lake, and then we'll leave."
Mr. Zhou made a decision.
"good."
Li Jingheng responded and gave a few instructions to the old slave.
"yes."
As the old slave said this, he went to gather the innate strong men to prevent them from being exposed.
"The old man is gone."
After Zhou Lao finished speaking, he entered the lake and dived to the bottom of the lake.
Soon, he came to the center of the lake and saw a large crack.
"That's right, the troll came from here... It's a pity that in order to kill Xiao Chen, I have to give up this road, but it's still worth it if I can kill Xiao Chen."
Mr. Zhou's eyes flickered.
The most important thing is that no one knows how far this lake is from Tianjueyuan. It would be difficult to get there if one dives all the way there.
Therefore, it would be better to use this opportunity to kill Xiao Chen!
As for the opportunity in Tianjueyuan, there must be a way out. I will look for it when I come back later.
This time they were in an uninhabited area and gained a lot.
That's enough.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Mr. Zhou took out the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Ball from his arms.
"It would be safer to sneak in for a while..."
Just as Mr. Zhou was about to leave it there, this thought came to his mind again, and he continued to dive deeper.
After more than ten minutes, he stopped, looked around in the darkness, and nodded with satisfaction. This was the place.
Once this place collapses, no matter how powerful Xiao Chen is, he will not be able to walk out alive.
Unless this kid is lucky enough to really reach Tianjue Abyss.
He felt that this possibility was not very high.
Besides, Tianjueyuan is also very dangerous. If you really go there, you might die there.
"Xiao Chen, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too outstanding and having strong hostility towards the forces outside the Heavens."
Mr. Zhou sneered.
"If you are weak, then you should be prepared to be enslaved... In our eyes, you are nothing but captive slaves!"
Mr. Zhou forced himself to see and put down a few Hunyuan Thunderbolt Balls.
In order to achieve the desired effect, he took out a few more and used all the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Balls he brought with him this time.
"That's enough... I guess the entire lake bottom will collapse, and then the lake water will flood back... By then, Xiao Chen will be dead."
There was a cold light flashing in Old Zhou's eyes, and he stepped back.
Ten minutes later, he came out of the lake and took out a small stone.
"retreat!"
Mr. Zhou said this and crushed the small stone in his hand.
