Chapter 938: Looting Together
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Wanqiu looked at Li Yunmu, and a light flashed through her gaze.
“I have already told you all the cultivation methods of Profound Sword Pavilion which I know. I don’t know anything else,” she said slowly.
Jue Qingzi and the twins also looked at Li Yunmu with a hint of alarm in their heart. After entering the G.o.d ruins, Leng Yan’s group had been killed.
It did not matter that he was dead though, since as long as they did not involve themselves with Li Yunmu anymore, Leng Family would not be able to place the blame on them. They also weren’t the only ones who had entered the G.o.d ruins, so there were also the disciples of Yin Manor and Nine Palaces who could be used as excuses.
Once Yan Wanqiu and Li Yunmu’s agreement had been concluded, the matter should be considered as over. They should all go their separate ways, but for some reason, he prevented them from leaving!
“Dao brother, we will quickly return to the Goumang Realm World, so you shouldn’t stop us,” Jue Qingzi slowly said from the side.
Li Yunmu shook his head as he looked at the nervous expressions of Yan Wanqiu and the others. A smile appeared on his face and he said, “I have stopped you all not for the cultivation secrets, but rather because….”
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Wanqiu interrupted him. “I don’t like you.”
Li Yunmu shot a glance at Yan Wanqiu. His expression remained calm, but a hint of embarra.s.sment entered his voice. “What the h.e.l.l are you thinking? I wanted to ask whether you all have the intention of joining me in robbing others?”
After hearing his words, Yan Wanqiu was slightly startled, and her nervous expression faded away. She turned to look at Li Yunmu and loudly asked, “What did you say just now? Robbing?”
“That’s right, robbing. We should go and loot the other G.o.d ruins in this night pearl small world and even the other cultivators who possess G.o.dhoods. I will take 90%, while you will get 10%. What do you say?” Li Yunmu offered with a smile.
Although the night pearl small world wasn’t very large, it was not that small either. In such an area, who could say how many G.o.d ruins were present. If Li Yunmu could get his hands on them, he could start the reform of the Origin World as soon as he returned.
When Jue Qingzi heard Li Yunmu’s words, he heaved a sigh of relief. Previously, when they were in the G.o.d ruins, the reason why he had agreed to Li Yunmu’s advice of using the key fragment to leave was because of Yan Wanqiu’s words. They had allowed him to realize that he had indeed acted foolishly in the previous matters.
The favor which he owed was already repaid, so Leng Yan’s life and death no longer had any relation to him.
But right then, Li Yunmu was speaking about taking all the G.o.d ruins as well as cultivators of the Alliance in the small world. Such looting would offend the entire Alliance, and if someone from the Alliance found out that Jue Qingzi and the others had partic.i.p.ated in it, then not only would they be killed, even the entire Profound Sword Pavilion would be buried alongside them.
“Dao brother… please don’t make jokes like that. We are people of the Goumang Real World and cannot follow you in doing such immoral acts. We won’t partic.i.p.ate in this matter.”
After he finished talking, Jue Qingzi looked at Yan Waniqu and saw that she still had an astonished expression on her face. Upon seeing her expression, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her expression showed that she also wouldn’t agree on partic.i.p.ating in such a matter.
Yan Wanqiu frowned and asked in a trembling voice, “If we don’t partic.i.p.ate, what will you do?”
Li Yunmu saw that Yan Wanqiu and the others weren’t willing to partic.i.p.ate, which was just as he expected. Whether for good or bad, they were people of the Goumang Real World and if they really colluded with him, it wouldn’t be any different from betraying their world. The reason why he wanted to collaborate with them was only to make his task slightly more convenient.
But just as he was about to open his mouth, the system’s voice echoed in his brain with a laugh. [Fifty kilometers away, there are people of Yin Manor advancing over here. Seems like there’s a bigshot among them.]
After hearing those words, Li Yunmu’s gaze flickered. He looked at Jue Qingzi and the others and he said with a profound smile, “Since you don’t agree, then I can only say it is a pity. I won’t force you all, so we will part ways here. If brother you regret it later, you can follow in this direction to look for me.”
While saying that, Li Yunmu pointed in the southwest direction. Jue Qingzi nodded and lightly patted the red-crowned crane, which rose and flew in the direction of Yin Manor’s disciples. Soon, it turned into a black dot that disappeared in the distance.
[You intentionally pointed toward the southwest so that Jue Qingzi and others chose the direction of Yin Manor’s disciples. You are really treacherous,] the system said with a sigh, seeing through Li Yunmu’s small trick straight away.
Li Yunmu had told Jue Qingzi that he would advance southwest so Jue Qingzi and the others would choose the opposite direction in order to avoid getting into trouble with him. And that direction was precisely the one that the bigshot of Yin Manor took to reach the G.o.d ruins. Once the two groups came into contact, Yin Manor’s bigshot wouldn’t let them go before learning about what had happened with the G.o.dhood.
Afraid of being tortured for interrogation, Yan Wanqiu definitely wouldn’t sit still and would come to find him with Jue Qingzi.
“It is good. If I want to empty out all the G.o.d ruins of this small world quickly and abduct the tribulation pa.s.sing stage youngsters in pa.s.sing, I will definitely need help of someone from the Goumang Real World.
“And rather than looking for anyone else, it would be better to work with Yan Wanqiu again,” Li Yunmu said unhurriedly while looking at the direction that Jue Qingzi and the others had picked. “But until they are forced to their limits, they wouldn’t collaborate with me.”
After saying that Li Yunmu began to proceed toward the southwest, slowly moving through the sky.
On the other side, in the sky to the northeast, Jue Qingzi and the others were riding on red-crowned cranes toward the headquarters of the Alliance. On the way, Yan Wanqiu turned to look back from time to time and heaved a sigh of relief when she did not see anyone.
When she turned her head toward the front once more, she said to Jue Qingzi, who had a concerned expression on his face, “Senior apprentice brother, Li Yunmu provided a G.o.dhood for us to become immortals, so it’s better if we return to the Alliance’s headquarters. Otherwise, if we remain behind, trouble will come knocking on our door. But what a pity, Li Yunmu was a little petty-minded and only gave us one-fifth of the G.o.dhood. He is really stingy.”
“Junior apprentice sister, it’s already pretty good that Brother Li Yunmu gave us the G.o.dhood. If he hadn’t, there was nothing you or I could have done. But doing this kind of thing once is enough. If we did it again and again, then we would not even have our corpses for burying,” Jue Qingzi said with a lingering fear. When the matter of collaboration appeared in his mind, he felt a chill go down his spine once more.
It was a goodbye for then and forever.
That was the only thought in Jue Qingzi’s mind.
Yan Wanqiu took out a chicken leg from her spatial ring and began to slowly eat it as she said, “Originally, I wanted the complete G.o.dhood. It might be able to support Profound Sword Pavilion so we could also become a major power in the Alliance. Our situation would become different then and we wouldn’t need to ask others to provide us more slots in small worlds like this.”
After saying that, Yan Wanqiu’s large eyes began to roam around, and she leaned over near Jue Qingzi’s ear. “How about we don’t return to the real world and go to loot others. Li Yunmu’s words were correct. It is easier to steal resources, and we wouldn’t need to worry about it with him around.”
“Junior apprentice sister, you are crazy…”
Jue Qingzi hadn’t finished talking when his expression changed. Panic appeared on his face when in the sky before them he saw a chariot appear out of nowhere.
Yan Wanqiu was even more anxious and returned the chicken leg back into her spatial ring.
