Chapter 1106: Joining Forces
Qi Mozi could sense the tension in the air, and he stepped in to play the role of mediator as he said, "There's no need for such hostilities, everyone. All of us are here with the common objective of hunting for treasures in this place. There are no personal vendettas here, so why the animosity?"
"These devilish creatures were sent to wreak havoc in our Immortal Realm, and for their transgressions, they've been trapped here for over a million years. Are we just supposed to believe that they don't harbor any resentment and are to be trusted?" Lei Yuce scoffed.
"What do you think should happen here then, Fellow Daoist Lei? Should we all engage in a battle to the death here? Those who perish naturally won't be able to secure any of the treasures in the place, but what about the survivors? What chance will they have of bypassing this Almighty Sword Array? Oh, silly me, I almost forgot that you were from the Almighty Sword Sect, so that won't be a difficult task for you, will it?" Qi Mozi mused with a smile.
An enraged look appeared on Lei Yuce's face in response to Qi Mozi's blatant attempt at sowing dissension.
Sure enough, hesitant looks appeared on the faces of Wyrm 3 and the others upon hearing this.
"Don't listen to him, everyone! These devilish creatures are not to be trusted!" Wen Zhong urged with tightly furrowed brows.
"When it comes to treachery, I'd say that we have much to learn from you humans," the White Bone King sneered.
"I already told you that there's no point in trying to settle things peacefully. Let's just fight them and get it over with," the Copper Lion King harrumphed coldly, while the Blood Hand King and the Turtle Back King remained silent.
The Eagle Nose King also remained silent as he gave the Copper Lion King a cold glare, and a fearful look immediately appeared on the latter's face.
Right at this moment, Xiong Shan suddenly said, "Please pardon my interjection, but while we're standing here bickering about whether we're going to fight or not, there's someone already inside the sword array right now. If we allow them to get to the palace first, not only will all of the treasures inside slip through our grasp, the old devil in the palace will most likely be released as well, and I'm sure that's not a desirable outcome for any of us."
A concerned look appeared in Lei Yuce's eyes upon hearing this. At the moment, almost everyone in the Eon Pagoda was already gathered here, so it wasn't difficult to deduce the identity of the person in the sword array by process of elimination.
