Chapter 2265: Chapter 2265: What do you guys want?
“Exactly! If we hadn’t run fast enough, that guy would have dragged us into the Demon Heart Hall. Once inside, could we even get out?”
“That’s the Demon Heart Hall we’re talking about, Mr. Wen! Isn’t this just sending us to our deaths?”
A dozen voices spoke one after another, all directed at the man standing surrounded in the center. Thinking back to how they were nearly deceived into entering the Demon Heart Hall, their hearts pounded furiously.
Everyone knows the High Priest Demon Heart is a bloodthirsty monster. If she finds out we wanted to cling to Jun Lin Hall, wouldn’t she kill us all without hesitation?
Life may be rough now, but at least we’re still alive.
If we were to enter the Demon Heart Hall, could we still survive? The High Priest Demon Heart might crush us to death with her bare hands!
“Why are all of you so spineless?” The man kept his composure, though a sneer of disdain glead in his eyes as he rebuked them.
“If you want benefits, you have to take risks. So what if you enter the Demon Heart Hall? The Hall and Jun Lin Hall are practically united now. If you dared to follow that guy into the Hall earlier, would he still suspect you?
And blaming ? Haven’t you brought all of this upon yourselves? If you’d gone into the Demon Heart Hall, the Priest of Magic Heart might even arrange sothing for you personally. Staying inside the Hall—who’s to say it’s impossible?”
“Arrange sothing for us?”
The dozen or so voices rose in sharp alarm upon hearing the man’s words.
The Demon Heart Hall—is that a place you can just walk into and expect to co out the sa way? It’s uncertain whether you’d be leaving horizontally or vertically!
And let’s not forget, the High Priest Demon Heart is still there. If her gaze lingers on us even for a second, everything about us could be laid bare. If she learns we’d lied just to gain an advantage, it would truly cost us our lives.
“Mr. Wen, are you joking with us? Why don’t you take a stroll in front of the High Priest Demon Heart yourself and see how that goes?”
“Exactly, Mr. Wen. We might just be ordinary people, but our lives aren’t so worthless, are they? You can’t just look down on us and treat our lives as nothing, can you?”
“Then what do you want?”
Mr. Wen was growing impatient with them, his brows knitting into a slight frown.
“You don’t want to take any risks, but you want rewards. Since when have there been such easy deals? Let tell you, if you want entry into Jun Lin Hall, you’ll need to take a gamble.
Besides, it’s not as if I forced you to enter Jun Lin Hall, right? You ca to asking for help and ideas.
Now, I’ve given you the plan, but since you didn’t achieve your goal, you’re putting all the bla on ? Let warn you, the Family Head is waiting. If you can’t retrieve that object from Jun Lin Hall, well… heh.”
He let out a cold, sharp laugh, the implications of his words unmistakable.
Hearing this, the faces of those around him visibly darkened.
Why were they so unlucky? They had no real ties to the Wen Family. They rely lived near the Wen Family Clan, and now that disaster had struck, the Wen Family dragged them into doing their dirty work.
And the most maddening part? They had no choice but to comply.
Now, nowhere on Wulong Mountain was safe. Without a place to stay, if they ended up sleeping rough in the streets, it was highly likely they wouldn’t wake up the next morning.
The Heavenly Fire strikes anywhere without warning. He had personally seen soone crushed to death by it, and it happened right beside him.
