Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 293: Hostility of the Crowd

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the square, the crowd gathered in groups of three or five.

Those who did not get the treasure stared at those who had the treasure, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Although the array had been broken, it did not mean that the matter was over.

After going through many dangerous trials and tribulations to get to this point, no one was willing to leave this place empty-handed.

No one spoke, and neither did they leave.

The teams with treasures huddled together and kept a vigilant eye on the people around them, afraid that they would launch a sneak attack if they were not paying attention.

“I say, your Flying Star Sect has already obtained a treasure. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to obtain another one here?”

After an unknown amount of time, a man from an unknown sect looked at the people from the Flying Star Sect not far away.

“Exactly. We’ve come so far with great difficulty. Why do you get two treasures when we don’t have one?”

“We won’t take more. Keep one in your hands and hand over the rest. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Someone spoke, and then the leaders of several sects spoke.

On the other hand, the faces of the people from the Flying Star Sect were extremely gloomy.

Their Flying Star Sect was still quite far away from the big sects like the Vast Expanse Sword Domain. Therefore, people naturally started to pick on them first.

......

“Do you think that the Flying Star Sect is easy to bully?”The leader of the flying star sect snorted coldly. A wave of extraordinary spiritual energy suddenly burst out from his body. His cold eyes continuously swept over the few teams who had spoken earlier. “Then you can come and try!”

The atmosphere became tenser after he said this.

A great battle seemed to be about to break out at any moment.

The faces of the few people who had spoken earlier also changed slightly. They did not expect that the people of the Flying Star Sect would be so tough. They were not afraid of the alliance of several of their teams at all.

However, even though the Flying Star Sect had made such a threat, they still did not make a move.

There was only one reason. Other than their teams, many other people were eyeing them covetously. Even if they worked together to snatch the treasures from the Flying Star Sect, there was no guarantee that they would not be caught in the crossfire.

“What… Do you only know how to talk?” Seeing that the teams did not move, the man from the Flying Star Sect smiled disdainfully.

Hearing that, the teams could not help but become angry out of embarrassment. Waves of spiritual energy burst out, and they were about to attack.

At the same time, Wang Zhan suddenly opened his mouth, “Everyone, don’t be anxious.”

He chuckled. His eyes indifferently glanced in the direction of Gu Xi. Immediately, he looked at the people present who had yet to obtain any treasures and said, “Compared to the treasures in the ninth square, the treasures we obtained earlier are nothing. Currently, the Flying Star Sect only possess two treasures. Moreover, if I remember correctly, one of them is a treasure from the sixth square.”

The an from the Flying Star Sect frowned, not understanding Wang Zhan’s intention.

Wang Zhan ignored him and continued, “Compared to the others, I think you want the treasures in the ninth square more, right?”

No one said anything, but they were very clear in their hearts.

Who didn’t want the treasures in the ninth square?

“In that case, I have a good suggestion.”

Seeing that everyone had tacitly agreed, Wang Zhan smiled sinisterly. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at where Gu Xi and the others were. He continued in a deep voice, “Out of the nine treasures here, six of them have fallen into the hands of our six teams. However, the remaining three treasures have all fallen into their hands!”

“What?! Three treasures!”

“Their team actually took three treasures from the ninth square. What a huge appetite!”

As soon as these words were said, everyone present widened their eyes in surprise.

One by one, everyone looked in the direction that Wang Zhan was pointing and finally glared at Gu Xi and the others.

Disbelief, greed, jealousy… All kinds of emotions surged into everyone’s hearts.

“This damned Wang Zhan!” Feeling the hostility in everyone’s eyes, Su Lian gritted her teeth and said.

“With just a simple sentence, he made everyone become our enemy. This Wang Zhan is truly something else,” Qing Xue said indifferently, her eyes suffused with cold intent.

The few people from the Liuli Sect quickly gathered together, their eyes vigilantly staring at their surroundings.

“Miss Su, we don’t want to make things too ugly.”

A person slowly walked out from the crowd, cupped his fists towards Su Lian and the others, and continued in a deep voice, “As long as you hand over the two treasures, we will definitely not make things difficult for you.”

“In your dreams!”

As soon as that person’s voice fell, Su Lian could not help but sternly open her mouth.

Hand over the two treasures? Did he really think that they were pushovers?

Seeing Su Lian’s resolute refusal, that person’s expression instantly darkened, and his words became even colder, “You six people actually took away three treasures. Is it fair for this person who has gone through life and death to come here without obtaining anything?”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xi, who had not spoken all this while, could not help but snicker.

“What are you laughing at?” That person frowned, and his expression became more and more unsightly.

If it was not for the fact that he was afraid of the Liuli Sect behind him, he probably would not have been able to hold himself back from making a move.

“I’m laughing at you,” Gu Xi said indifferently, and his gaze slowly swept across the crowd. “In this Spirit-chasing Competition, how can there be fairness? If you really want the treasures in our hands, you can use your own strength to take them.”

“Extremely arrogant!”

“This kid simply underestimates us!”

“That’s right, do you really think that the few of them can make an enemy out of us?”

Voices filled with anger rang out from the crowd.

Clearly, Gu Xi’s words had angered everyone present.

Wang Zhan, who was not far away, chuckled. This was exactly what he wanted to see.

Gu Xi was not willing to hand over the treasure, so everyone was naturally unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity. If this stalemate continued, it was only a matter of time before they made a move.

Perhaps these people present would show mercy to the people from the Liuli Sect, but facing so many people working together, Gu Xi would not be able to escape death.

“Have I made myself clear?”

“If you want to snatch something, let me see your strength first.”

Gu Xi took a few steps forward, and with a swing of the long sword in his hand, faint Sword Qi instantly filled the square.

If these people really dared to make a move here, then he did not mind teaching them a good lesson.
