Chapter 198: Shen Gongbao’s Treasure
It turns out that, once Lu Ya made a move, everyone else followed, among them Daoist Bei Ming reacted the swiftest, with one foot already stepping into the river and casting his own reflection in the water.
However, all the cultivators present originally subconsciously believed that the moment the shadow appeared, it would pounce towards its owner. But now upon further observation, this shadow seemed to possess its own consciousness!
"Indeed, all sorts of strange things can happen. My fellow cultivators, if we continue to slaughter each other at this time, I fear we all may perish here."
Perfected Huang Shi picked up a pebble from the ground, flicked his wrist, and the stone shot towards the face of the shadow in the water like a bullet.
But just when it was about to hit, the ’Bei Ming True Monarch’ in the water merged back into the river and vanished without a trace.
"Such a masterful Water Style."
Young Master Kong Xu spoke with a cold voice: "Daoist Lu Ya, since your arrival, your target has been directly on that coffin, paying no heed even to the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit. You knew something in advance, didn’t you? At this time, do you still intend to keep the secret to yourself?"
Faced with the pressing words of Young Master Kong Xu, Lu Ya simply smiled. He extended a finger towards the water’s surface, speaking, "Isn’t it obvious that the most mysterious and precious thing here is this coffin, not the fruits above us? Although the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit is precious, at my level, it merely adds to the icing on the cake, of little significance. However, the contents of this coffin, regardless of their worth, must certainly be hiding a grand secret of the Cultivation World. Don’t you all want to know?"
Everyone hesitated, no one spoke, and at this time, Daoist Bei Ming also withdrew the foot that had stepped into the water, saying, "Since it’s a secret, I presume Daoist Lu doesn’t intend to share with us. You gathered us together under the pretext of saving Nezha and brought us here with the Seven Fragrant Cars, but once here, you could easily have come alone without us, couldn’t you?"
It was clear to everyone that Lu Ya was using them, and correspondingly, they were using Lu Ya.
