Chapter 399: What a Big Game

Caiyi said, "I'll listen to you!"

Others nodded.

Bai Muye said, "The time given by the Duan family is one month. According to Duan Feixing, if you can be enlightened, three to five days is usually enough; if you can't be enlightened, even if you stay there for a year, it may not have any effect. So, let's wait. I want to know who wants to target us. Is it the Duan family or someone else?"

Shan Gu said, "Do I need to think about this? It must be the Duan family's work! They sent the invitation letter, who else could it be if not them? Even if there are others behind the scenes, the Duan family must be aware of it!"

Ji Caiyi glanced at Shan Gu and asked, "What is the purpose of the Duan family doing this? Xiaobai is a descendant of the Bai family of the Hidden Clan, and Zijin is also a descendant of the Lin family of the Hidden Clan. Both the Bai family and the Lin family are not inferior. Tianhu Duan Family, what hatred do they have with us? Besides, didn't the killer also say that one of their tasks was to kill Duan Yong, the son of Tianhu Duan Family... From this point of view, the Duan Family should also be the victim. "

"It does seem so, but this doesn't make sense! The Duan Family sent an invitation and invited us here, but someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill us, and then pretend to be us to get rid of Duan Yong?" Lin Zijin frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "I understand, do you think it could be someone else from the Duan Family? Want to compete for the position of the son? And then throw dirty water on us?"

Cai Yi: "If we are all dead, and Duan Yong is dead, then they can throw dirty water on us very well!"

Everyone thinks this possibility is quite high!

The Duan Family controls not only this planet, but also a large number of resource planets in the entire Tianhu Galaxy, which are all owned by the Duan Family.

The Duan Family's son is extremely noble, just like the prince. It's not surprising that someone wants to kill him.

Then, the group gradually moved away from here.

A few days later, the group appeared in a place more than 200 miles away from Tianhu Lake, where they found another red flower tree.

However, this red flower tree was surrounded by a group of people, and a large number of roots were sticking out on the surface. Looking carefully, there was very little soil on it, as if it had escaped far away and was stopped by someone.

From a distance, the group of people surrounding the red flower tree could be seen to be the champion team of the Holy Empire.

But whether they were really, everyone was a little bit unconvinced.

After all, the champion team of the Canghai Empire was fake.

"We just want the flowers on your tree. Flowers bloom and fall, it's the law of nature. We don't want to hurt you, so why bother?" Pang Yunfei, a swordsman at the advanced master level, held a sword in his hand, exuding a fierce aura, and was threatening the red flower tree.

"Yeah, you said you can't run away, and you don't dare to enter the restricted area, so why bother? You can bloom once every ten years. This flower is not of much value to you, but it is a good thing for us. Give us the flower, and we will definitely not hurt a single branch of yours!" Gan Xiaoping also persuaded on the side.

"If you don't agree, we will chop you into firewood and use it directly for burning." Liu Xihua said coldly.

The red flower tree seemed to be silent for a while, and suddenly trembled violently, shaking off a large number of flowers on the tree.

Ouyang Xingqi and others were immediately excited.

This tree is indeed spiritual!

It actually understood what they said.

"Look, how good is this?" Bao Rui smiled and walked towards the red flower tree.

Suddenly!

The countless roots of this red flower tree... at least one-tenth of them, instantly danced wildly, like a demon opening its bloody mouth and swallowing Bao Rui directly!

"Bao Rui, be careful! Retreat!" A group of people shouted.

Bao Rui's aura was fully activated, and he directly attacked back, trying to cut off the roots.

The other seven people also attacked the red flower tree angrily, and a large number of red flowers were shaken down from the tree.

But the attacks of everyone were blocked by countless roots.

This red flower tree that ran away when it saw them before actually had a terrifying strength that they could not imagine!

"Save me!"

Bao Rui, who was wrapped by the red flower roots, let out a shrill scream: "It is piercing my body and drilling into my body!"

Now the other seven people attacked the red flower tree like crazy.

The talisman master desperately threw the offensive talisman at the tree.

But the other branches and roots of the red flower tree instantly formed a powerful defense, so that these attacks could not hurt its roots at all.

Bao Rui, who was completely invisible at this time, screamed like crazy, but the scream became weaker and weaker.

Boom!

The red flower tree instantly soared into the sky!

It actually jumped high into the air——

A pile of broken bones fell down along the dense roots.

The bones were very fresh, but the flesh on them was as clean as if it had been licked by a dog!

"Ah!"

Ouyang Xingqi and others went crazy on the spot.

They attacked the tree angrily.

But the arrows... couldn't penetrate.

The talismans... couldn't penetrate.

Sword Qi... at most it could sweep away some branches and roots.

When all the means of attack were ineffective in front of this tree, the group of young people completely collapsed.

How could this be a precious tree that produces top-grade medicinal materials?

It was clearly a tree demon that eats people!

Fortunately, although this red flower tree "ate" Bao Rui, it did not continue to attack everyone. After falling from the sky to the ground, it quickly supported itself on the ground with its countless roots, desperately tossed around, ran away, and escaped.

Ouyang Xingqi and others knelt in front of the pile of bones and cried loudly.

Unexpected!

Shocking!

Unbelievable!

Unacceptable!

The companions who had grown up together just left them forever.

Originally, they thought that they could delay the task as much as possible, and if they couldn't delay it, they would find a way to ruin it.

They did not track down Bai Muye's group, thinking of getting some resources first, but this accident happened.

Bao Rui's death made this group of young people feel the strong taste of death for the first time!

This was something they had never dared to think about in the past.

A group of people were in great grief.

Kneeling there and crying.

Pang Yunfei looked up to the sky and roared: "We must kill that red flower tree demon and avenge Bao Rui!"

"Yes, avenge Bao Rui!" Gan Xiaoping said with tears: "Our brothers can't die in vain!"

The others also gritted their teeth and wanted to seek revenge on the tree demon.

Ouyang Xingqi just cried, and after a while, she reached out and wiped her face, and said faintly: "Collect Bao Rui's bones, let's leave here!"

"Leave here? Where to?" Pang Yunfei asked.

Ouyang Xingqi said: "To Tianhu!"

"Not seeking revenge on the tree demon?" Pang Yunfei looked at Ouyang Xingqi.

"How to take revenge? Just relying on us?" Ouyang Xingqi asked.

"Damn the Duan family!" Pang Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "They clearly want to cheat people on purpose!"

"Hehe..." Ouyang Xingqi sneered with a sad and angry face, and then said, "The Duan family only said that Huahong is a good thing and a material for top-grade medicinal materials, but they never said that the Huahong tree is so terrible and is a real tree demon..."

"Yes! So the Duan family is the most hateful! They clearly knew it..." Pang Yunfei said angrily.

Ouyang Xingqi nodded: "They are hateful, but they have also said that Tianhu Holy Land is not a fairyland, and there are countless murderous intentions hidden in it. Even if we find them, what can we do?"

"Then we will do nothing? Did Baozi die in vain?" Xiao Qinghe looked sad and angry, not because he went to Ouyang Xingqi, but because he was inexplicably sad and didn't know how to vent.

"Yeah, did Baozi die in vain?"

"Baozi is our brother!"

"Yes, we can't just watch him die in vain like this!"

"What vain death? He died under the attack of the tree demon, and the tree demon...we provoked it ourselves. We were careless, and we can't blame others..." Ouyang Xingqi looked bitter, and tears couldn't stop flowing, "Even if we come to the door, it's just asking for humiliation."

Pang Yunfei said: "I don't care, anyway, our brother can't die in vain!"

"What if it can't die in vain?" Ouyang Xingqi suddenly collapsed a little, and yelled at Pang Yunfei: "Are you going to kill all the people in the Duan family? Or ask them why they didn't give us a manual for the Tianhu Holy Land? I say again, did they say that there are dangers in other places? Did they say that if you are afraid of danger, you can directly enter Tianhu according to the map?"

Pang Yunfei was stunned by the scolding, squatting on the ground in a daze, covering his face and sobbing.

The others were all silent and crying silently.

Ouyang Xingqi said hoarsely: "Do you think I don't hate the Duan family for hiding information?"

"Do you think I don't hate our damn life experience?"

"I want to settle accounts with the Duan family just like you!"

"I also want to break free from the shackles of this identity just like you!"

"But what can we do? Do you really think that no one will be watching us when you come here?"

"Behind us is the Shangguan family!"

"To be precise, it is Shangguan Shenghui, the father of Shangguan Qingping and Shangguan Wenping!"

"Shangguan Shenghui's wife is the legitimate daughter of the Tianhu Duan family!"

"His wife sent an invitation to the Fulong team of the Zulong Empire through the Tianhu Holy Land. In order to make things real, they even invited us and the league champion team of the Canghai Empire together."

"The first time they gave us a task, they asked us to kill Bai Muye... Have you thought about the consequences of killing Bai Muye?"

Pang Yunfei raised his head and looked at Ouyang Xingqi with red and swollen eyes. The others also looked confused.

"Killing him will cause friction between the two empires! Even if it's not a violent friction, it's not something we can bear!"

"By then, we will be hunted down endlessly, and everything we have now, all our efforts over the years, will be in vain!"

"We are not a group of killers! Don't you understand?"

"It's not because this is the Holy Land of Tianhu that we will be safe if we kill them here, not to mention that we may not really be able to kill them!"

"What good will it do us if we both lose?"

Ouyang Xingqi looked at the remaining six Calabash Brothers and said in a deep voice: "This mission itself has a weird taste. I have a hunch that once we really kill Bai Muye as ordered... whether we can kill him or not is another matter, but we will definitely be caught in a vortex that we can't escape from!"

"We have been trained by the Shangguan family since we were young, but in the eyes of others, our identities and resumes are extremely clean. We are also children of a big family, a group of outstanding young geniuses!"

"So I don't want to be a killer. I don't want to link my own destiny with dirty killers. "Get up!"

Ouyang Xingqi's bright face was full of tears, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I can't completely control my own destiny, I don't want to be a killer to kill people who have no grudges against me!"

"Our family gave up on us and used us as bargaining chips to please the Shangguan family, but we don't have any reason to give up on ourselves!"

"The Shangguan family has trained us, and I am grateful. If they want us to work for them, I am willing. But if we are asked to act as killers to kill people who have no grudges against us, I don't want it!"

Pang Yunfei stared at Ouyang Xingqi blankly, as if he was meeting this little princess in their minds for the first time, and murmured, "I don't want it either."

"We don't want it either!"

A group of young people who have just grown from teenagers to adults, stimulated by the death of their companions and awakened by Ouyang Xingqi, roared and shouted out their hearts.

If you Shangguan Shenghui and your wife want to kill people, just find a killer directly. Why do you let us do such dirty work?

Sorry, fuck you, we won't do it!

She looked at everyone: "Have you figured it out now? The Duan family and the Shangguan family must have some kind of connection!"

"We are just a bunch of flags! Now, they want to use us as pawns."

"If we can't find a way to save ourselves, even if the mission is successful, we are destined to become abandoned pieces!"

"At this time, you still want to question the people of the Duan family. Isn't that a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

"With us, are we the opponent of the Duan family? That is something that the three empires can't do! What are we? We are not enough to fill their teeth!"

Bai Muye, who was far away, held the Supreme Scepter, closed his eyes and concentrated, condensed his mental power into a line, and extended it to the vicinity of Ouyang Xingqi's group.

Hearing all their conversations, his face was slightly moved.

I really didn't expect that this trip to Tianhu Holy Land would become so treacherous.

Ouyang Xingqi's deafening words finally woke up the others.

"Then what should we do next?" Pang Yunfei's voice also became hoarse.

Young boys, full of passion, at the most brilliant age, are most afraid that they are kites, but the string is held by others - they would rather die than be free!

But in fact, they seem to be in great glory, but in fact they are kites held by the string.

"Collect Bao Rui's remains, and the red flowers that Bao Rui exchanged for his life! Go to Tianhu! Improve yourself! Just pretend that all this has never happened!"

Ouyang Xingqi gritted her teeth and said.

"Then... our mission?" Pang Yunfei looked at Ouyang Xingqi.

"Fuck the mission!" Ouyang Xingqi cursed in an unladylike manner.

Then he whispered: "If you meet them at Tianhu, just find a fight with them. The excuse is also very simple. Didn't Shan Gu want to pursue me? You don't like him, so you take the initiative to find a fight!"

"Then what?" Pang Yunfei looked at her.

"Then find a chance to tell the truth to that group of people! Find a way to join forces!" Ouyang Xingqi said.

Pang Yunfei hesitated: "Joining forces with them... can we fight against the Duan family?"

Ouyang Xingqi glanced at him: "Are you stupid? Join forces with them and find a way to escape from the Holy Empire!"

The remaining six Calabash Brothers were all stunned, looking at Ouyang Xingqi in shock.

Escape?

Treason?

They had never dreamed of such a thing!

Especially since they were the champions of the current High School League of the Holy Empire, if they escaped, once the news spread, it would definitely cause a storm.

Pang Yunfei looked at Ouyang Xingqi in shock, and said hesitantly: "Sister, are you going to betray your country? If we run away, what will happen to our family?"

"Family? Haha, we are the children of the eight major families in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the family, what are we? Have you been fooled by the sweet words of those old people in the family? Do they really care about us and let the Shangguan family use us as killers?" Ouyang Xingqi looked sarcastic.

Pang Yunfei was speechless.

Ouyang Xingqi said: "Besides, what country are you betraying? I love the Holy Empire! We were just forced to flee!"

"If the Shangguan family insists on killing us, we will expose all the secrets in our hands! Let everyone know that we had to leave the Holy Empire!"

"If it really comes to that... hehe, the family behind us may suffer a little, but the Shangguan family will not easily touch them!"

Ouyang Xingqi sighed softly: "Although they don't love us, after all... they are our relatives. I can only do so much for them. I have done my best."

This girl is good!

When Bai Muye heard this, he couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.

Whether he agrees with her approach or not, this kind of decisive temperament is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

Among the girls he knows around him, I am afraid that only Lin Zijin and Yu Xiuxiu can compare with her.

Bai Muye, who has experienced the Sanxian Island incident, agrees with some of Ouyang Xingqi's practices.

It is true that people should be grateful, but if a person is taken away from his parents since childhood and then trained to become a tool to gain various benefits... it is better not to remember this kind of kindness.

When people are not on guard, what they say is the most truthful!

Ouyang Xingqi and his group experienced the death of their companions, and the words they said in grief and anger can basically represent their true voices.

They refused to be killers and refused to kill people for no reason. Even if their targets were the so-called "enemy countries", they all adhered to the moral bottom line deep in their hearts.

Bai Muye retracted his mental power and glanced at Shan Gu. This guy is lucky. The woman he fell in love with at first sight is not bad!

At this time, Ouyang Xingqi and the remaining six gourd babies had collected the bones of their companions, stood up, and headed towards Tianhu.

Until their figures completely disappeared, Shan Gu couldn't help asking: "Brother Bai, what did they say? Why do I see my sister is so excited?"

Which sister of yours?

Those six gourd babies?

Bai Muye glanced at Shan Gu.

Caiyi also rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be happy for nothing in the end."

"Hehehe." Shan Gu smiled foolishly, without arguing, looking at Bai Muye with a longing expression.

Bai Muye then repeated what he had just heard to a few people.

All of them were shocked.

Shan Gu could no longer care about his sister, and looked at Bai Muye: "Shangguan Family? Isn't that the family behind Shangguan Qingping who fought with Brother Bai in the Black Domain? At that time, they fought so hard, and Shangguan Qingping revealed his identity. Everyone thought he was stupid. Now it seems that all this... seems to have been premeditated!"

Ji Caiyi frowned and said: "What's the purpose? If there is a purpose, why expose yourself?"

Lin Zijin: "To show that you have a clear conscience? It seems that there is no need for this?"

Si Yin on the side: "Could it be that you want to plot against Brother Bai's talisman inheritance?"

"It's possible, but is it necessary to make such a big scene?" Shan Gu rolled his eyes and said: "In order to deal with us, even the son of the Duan family is included?"

"This may be a chain of plots." Bai Muye said.

Everyone looked at him.

"The Shangguan family first took a fancy to my inheritance and tested me in the Black Domain. At that time, I said that I was Bai Muye. Others would definitely not believe it, but there are still many people in this world who are interested. I guess they roughly determined my identity through some special details. Even if they can't determine it, my inheritance is enough to attract many big families."

"When they started to set up the plan, the lady of the Shangguan family...that is, the legitimate daughter of the Duan family, should have reached some agreement with someone in the Duan family. They wanted to take this opportunity to kill Duan Yong together."

"In this way, they can get the inheritance from me, kill Duan Yong, and perfectly throw dirty water on the jealous people and the three emperors. The national championship league teams are killing each other..."

"Combined with what Ouyang Xingqi just said, if my judgment is correct, they should also be a bunch of flags to be sacrificed!"

"And those assassins who just got killed by us... pretending to be the champion team of Canghai Empire, are also a bunch of discarded pieces!"

"Do they really think that everything goes well and they can get out? I'm afraid that once they enter the fake restricted area they think, they will never get out again!"

"Think about what the assassin said."

Bai Muye said this, showing a particularly handsome and charming smile: "It's really a big chess game, there are so many things to plan, they must be very tired! Otherwise, let's help them overturn this chessboard!"
