Chapter 1841 - 1842: Taking Action
"Of course it's not him! Those Blackwind Wolves are very strong, and there were so many of them. It must have been someone as strong as Brother Zhang to take action. This kid was probably just caught up in the scene. By the way, we didn't leave behind any of the Blackwind Wolves' materials; we picked them all up!"
After saying this, Shu Mei looked smugly at Zhang Tianhao, while Shu Tie's expression turned sour.
Lin Chen couldn't help but think to himself:
"Is this girl out of her mind? Talking about such things outside, doesn't she know the principle of not revealing one's wealth?"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao and the disciple who had a grudge against Lin Chen, Wang Lin, both glanced at the Shu siblings with a subtle expression.
At this moment, Wang Lin pointed at Lin Chen, who was lying on the ground, and said to Zhang Tianhao:
"Brother Tianhao, this person has quite a connection with me. He is my friend, and although he seems to have low cultivation, his strength is very formidable, so he must have been the one who killed those Blackwind Wolves! I still hope that the Shu siblings will return all the Blackwind Wolf materials to my brother here, and I will keep them on his behalf!"
Zhang Tianhao frowned, about to say something, when Wang Lin suddenly used his Yuan energy to encapsulate his voice and whispered to him:
"Brother Tianhao, this person is my enemy. I witnessed him taking on this task, and although I don't know how he completed it, it's clear he's a cripple now. Hand him over to me, and we'll split the Blackwind Wolf materials equally, plus, the Demon Core of the Third Level Divine Wolf King is yours! How about it?"
Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but furrow his brows.
The Shu siblings were acquaintances, and he had feelings for the charming Shu Mei, but he was tempted. His cultivation was merely at the Third Level of the Divine, and breaking through to the Fourth Level would require unknown effort and resources. Now, presented with a Third Level Divine Blackwind Wolf King's Demon Core and a plethora of materials, he couldn't resist the temptation.
Moments later, he squinted his eyes, having made up his mind.
Zhang Tianhao cheerfully looked at Shu Mei and Shu Tie, saying:
"Brother Shu Tie, Sister Shu Mei, haven't I always treated you well?"
"Yes, Brother Zhang has been very good to us!"
Shu Mei quickly interjected, leaving Shu Tie with no choice but to nod reluctantly.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianhao smiled slightly and continued:
"Sister Shu Mei, I've encountered a problem recently, would you be willing to help?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Mei immediately said:
"Brother Zhang, just say it. As long as I can help, my brother and I won't refuse!"
Zhang Tianhao chuckled and continued:
"It's like this, I've hit a bottleneck in my cultivation recently and found it tough to make a breakthrough. Can you help me by giving me all the Blackwind Wolf materials? Perhaps it'll solve the problem, and I can make a breakthrough. Once I become stronger, I won't forget about you!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Mei regained a bit of clarity, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Brother Zhang, do you need them all?"
Zhang Tianhao responded seriously, saying:
"Yes, I must have enough resources to train and advance, to protect you two siblings! But if you're in a bind, forget it; it's not a must for me…"
"Oh, Brother Zhang, don't worry."
With that, Shu Mei turned to Shu Tie, blinking her eyes and said:
"Brother, look how pitiful Brother Zhang is, and he's been so good to us. Let's help him out; we can find more anyway!"
Shu Tie let out a bitter smile, having no way to refuse his sister, and knowing Zhang Tianhao's cultivation level, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Brother Zhang, the thing is, my sister and I usually don't get much training resources due to our low cultivation, so perhaps we could give you half of the Blackwind Wolf materials?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao shook his head:
"It's like this, those materials belong to that young brother. I'm just borrowing them temporarily and will return them later, with Brother Wang Lin as the guarantor. I naturally won't be unfaithful, but if you take those materials, can you pay them back? I'm not forcing you, but one must not act against their conscience!"
After a dignified speech, even Zhang Tianhao unconsciously straightened his back, appearing quite the gentleman.
And this had its effect, as Shu Tie appeared conflicted and eventually said:
"That kid is only at the First Level of Divine; how could he kill so many Blackwind Wolves? Perhaps Brother Zhang made a mistake; I can give you half the materials, no more!"
Beside him, Wang Lin frowned and couldn't help but say:
"Kid, are you looking for death? Hand over those materials quickly, or it won't end well for you!"
Having no connection with the Shu siblings, Wang Lin spoke without restraint, displaying his Second Level Divine cultivation, stepping in front of the pair.
Shu Tie, feeling the oppressive aura, couldn't help his face changing and looked to Zhang Tianhao for help, who merely looked up at the sky as if unaware.
Wang Lin stared menacingly at Shu Mei and Shu Tie:
"Hehe, either hand over the materials, and I'll let you go for Brother Tianhao's sake, or there's only one way out!"
Seeing Wang Lin uncovering his killing intent, Shu Tie panicked, and the previously friendly Zhang Tianhao was now against them.
Shu Mei, at a loss, couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Zhang, are you not going to help us?"
Zhang Tianhao furrowed his brows, then coldly said:
"Shu Mei, just hand over the materials, or Brother Wang Lin will act!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Mei looked at Zhang Tianhao in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe he would say such things.
"Brother Zhang, I misjudged you!"
"Hmph, Brother Wang Lin, proceed!"
Having torn the facade, Zhang Tianhao abandoned any pretense and directly instructed Wang Lin to act.
Wang Lin smirked cruelly, rushing forward immediately.
At this critical moment, a sigh sounded, and Lin Chen, who was lying on the ground, had already stood up and swiftly rushed towards Wang Lin.
Unaware, Wang Lin's fist enveloped in True Yuan was about to land on Shu Tie when suddenly a whistling sound came from behind. He turned suddenly, his expression drastically changing!
"Lin Chen!"
Lin Chen, having sprung up, was suddenly behind Wang Lin, and without any other move, he struck out fiercely with a palm. Wang Lin only had time to turn and clash his fist with Lin Chen's palm before being sent flying!
