Chapter 1595: Triggering a Crisis
Chen Xiaobei: Alright brother, just tell me! As long as it's something I can get, I will do everything in my power to get it to repay for your loss of the Blood Sea Holy Flame!
Acheron: Brother! That's very kind of you! I'll be frank then! I need a Golden Body Purifying Pill concocted by Zhen Yuanzi!
Chen Xiaobei: Zhen Yuanzi? Did you mean Grand Deity Zhen Yuan?
Acheron: Yes. I call him that because we are peers. The ones from the younger generation like you have to address him as the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan! This guy is the lord of all Earth Gods! That is why he could be considered as one of the most powerful deities! I've sought him to speak in private many times but we've never even met face to face! In the three realms, you are the only one who shares a pretty good relationship with him! It's up to you to get the Golden Body Purifying Pill!
Chen Xiaobei: Actually, my relationship with the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan is pretty ordinary! If this Golden Body Purifying Pill is too valuable, he may not give it to me just like that!
Acheron: This Golden Body Purifying Pill is a type of holy healing medication. It's on par with Laotzu, The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's Holy Medicine!
Chen Xiaobei: Then, it's going to be really difficult! Last time, I had to go through extreme measures to get a 3,000 year old Ginseng Fruit! Grand Deity Zhen Yuan may not give me a medicine as valuable as that!
Acheron: I know it's difficult but I have no choice! This calamity is getting closer and my wounds have not been able to recover! This Golden Body Purifying Pill is my final hope! If I don't get it, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this calamity!"
Chen Xiaobei: Don't panic, brother. Can we go ask Laotzu about it?
Acheron: No! During the previous calamity, Laotzu asked Duobao Rulai to attack me! This wound that I have right now is caused by Dubao Rulai! That is why Laotzu will never give me any pills to heal my wounds! Zhen Yuan is my only hope now!
Chen Xiaobei: if that's the case, I'll think of a way to ask for the Golden Body Purifying Pill from the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan!
Acheron: I have to rely on your help now!
Chen Xiaobei: Don't worry, brother! Friends help each other! I promise that I will do my best to get this done! But right now, I'm in danger myself. So, you might have to wait for a bit!
Acheron: Alright! I'll be waiting for your good news here!
After he exited the private chat, Chen Xiaobei checked the reading software and was surprised to find that Old Leader's Battle God Zhufeng had just reached 2.99 million words!
"This Old Leader had been very hardworking recently! He's already hit 2.99 million! It'll soon reach the agreed 3 million words!" Chen Xiaobei rubbed his chin. "But it now seems that the Golden Body Purifying Pill's also very important! I need to figure out a way to get both the Ginseng Fruit and the Golden Body Purifying Pill at the same time!"
"Xiaobei." Six-Eared Macaque was growing impatient. "We've been resting for quite a while now, and it looks like there's no danger in the passage behind the door. Is it time we make a move?"
"Hold on!" Long Zishan walked up to the them. "Don't you forget that that the 10,000 Murderous Qi were formed by the Black Dragon Riders' hatred! Judging by their powerful attack, I figured out that all the evil spirits that could be waiting for us behind the door must have an extremely high combat power! We should never underestimate them!
Both Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque nodded in agreement.
Xiangyu added, "The Black Dragon Riders were given the title 'Invincible Heavenly Soldiers' by Emperor Qin himself! They are all elite soldiers who are extremely well-trained in the hardened battlefields!"
"Heroes when they're alive, and ghostly heroes when they're dead! If they became undead soliders, they would surely become the most frightening things on earth!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "I'm well aware of the things that you speak of! In fact, I have a theory!"
"What theory?" The others asked.
"Since we stepped into this arena, there have been all kinds of signs that indicate that all these threats were out of Xu Fu's control!" Chen Xiaobei said. "The Blackwater Mystical Snake said that before his passing, Emperor Qin sent Xu Fu out of the country! After his passing, only the people he trusted most were allowed to bury him! If I'm not mistaken, those people are the 10,000 Black Dragon Riders! That's why my guess is that the Murderous Qi and the ghastly armies were all part of Emperor Qin's plan! Since the Emperor had time to design this place himself, I'm afraid that whatever is behind the door is not going to be as simple as just 10,000 ghastly armies!"
Echoes of surprise sounded from among the group of people.
It was known that 10,000 ghastly armies were already a coloszal threat. Now, what Chen Xiaobei was saying was that the danger that lay behind the door was going to be far worse!
"What should we do then? Should we retreat?" Long Zishan frowned.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, ten shadows shifted towards the door.
As of the time before this, most of the people in the room had already willingly surrendered to Chen Xiaobei, but there was still a small group of people who refused to yield to him!
Zhou Daoxian, Ding Xiadong, Xu Shiqiu, Shuldean, and Betadalf who were the leaders of the groups all held deep grudges towards Chen Xiaobei. Naturally, they were unwilling to submit themselves to their enemy.
The doors had been torn down, and the passage behind it appeared to be free of danger.
Zhou Daoxian gathered five people, along with their loyal subordinates and together they made a run for the door to escape from Chen Xiaobei.
"You idiots! Stand where you are!" Chen Xiaobei roared.
Those idiots were unaware of the danger that Chen Xiaobei was talking about. Running in like that would only trigger a crisis and bring upon an unspeakable catastrophe to all of them!
But because Zhou Daoxian and the others acted in such a quick fashion, Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque did not manage to stop them. All ten men made it through the door.
"Forget it! Just let them die!" Six-Eared Macaque said angrily.
Chen Xiaobei frowned. "It's okay if the few of them die but the problem is that we might have been compromised!"
"If we don't go in, we won't get compromised!" Xiangyu answered.
"Don't underestimate Emperor Qin! This is his domain!" Chen Xiaobei's tone was grave; he could feel panic begin to rise inside him.
Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, the whole place shuddered. The ground quaked so violently it tore cracks on all the surfaces around them.
Giant rocks and rubble collapsed from the ceiling.
"Oh no! The mountain is caving in! If we stay here, we'll be buried alive!" Chen Xiaobei shouted, "Everyone! Run as fast as you can into the passage in front! Hurry! Hurry!"
