Chapter 1286 - 1281: You Will Die
"Hong Zhongkai, you mean you want us to submit to you just because you show us this thing? Ridiculous!"
Hao Kai deliberately displayed a disdainful smile.
Old He shook his head too: "Hong Zhongkai, ’A common man is innocent, but bearing a treasure is a crime.’ Bringing out this thing, are you speeding up your death?"
"You two scumbags! Keep blabbering and I’ll have someone kill you right now!"
As soon as Hong Zhongkai spoke, Xu Zhiming and the God of Wealth stepped forward with their people.
Suddenly, Hao Kai and his crew were surrounded.
"You!"
Both Hao Kai and Old He turned pale.
They hadn’t anticipated that Hong Zhongkai’s cohesion reached such a level.
There were still many fence-sitters present.
Initially, they belonged to the spectator side, but Hong Zhongkai wouldn’t let them stay out of it.
He shouted: "Follow me and I’ll open the passageway. Don’t follow me, not only will I not open the passageway, but I’ll also send people to kill! Now, it’s time for your decision!"
After these words, the scene was silent for about a minute.
The first to raise his hand was a disciple from the Ancient Martial Family, "I agree to follow Major Hong!"
"I agree too!" Someone else promptly stepped forward.
Once the herd mentality starts, it’s hard to stop.
Soon, one loose cultivator after another stood up, choosing to follow Hong Zhongkai.
There was no choice; in the face of freedom, few could resist the temptation.
Seeing one loose cultivator after another surrender, in such a situation of strong enemies and weak friends, Hao Kai and Old He’s expressions turned extremely ugly.
Hong Zhongkai’s chest was almost bursting with joy.
Having been hunted for so long, he suddenly became the leader of all his enemies.
This feeling was indescribably satisfying.
Hao Kai and Old He hesitated, unable to make up their minds to yield.
This scene deeply stimulated Hong Zhongkai.
He shouted angrily: "You stubborn dogs, now you have no chance, die for me!"
As he spoke, everyone around prepared to attack Hao Kai, Old He, and their men.
Just then, a voice suddenly shouted: "Look! Isn’t that Xinmu?"
Everyone turned towards the sound and looked at the gorge.
There, a tall figure was slowly walking out; from the looks of it, wasn’t it the big fool Xinmu under Qin Hao’s command?
This discovery made everyone pause their actions.
Even Hong Zhongkai forgot his trouble with Hao Kai, coldly smiled and clenched his teeth as he walked over.
...
After spending a long time in the valley feeling bored, Xinmu wanted to go out for a walk.
But halfway through, he felt a bit chilly.
He instinctively shivered, raised his head to look, only to find the valley’s entrance filled with silhouettes!
"What!"
Xinmu was immediately startled; he wanted to return the way he came, but saw a group of people slowly approaching. Leading them was none other than Hong Zhongkai!
"It’s that military dog! Why is he coming here!"
Xinmu considered retreating, but thought again, wouldn’t it be a big disgrace just to retreat like that?
No, he must hold his ground.
Thus, Xinmu stood at the mouth of the valley, stood tall, assuming the posture of one man holding against a thousand.
After a while, Hong Zhongkai approached with a few leaders.
His face was cold, his eyes examining Xinmu for a while, then suddenly laughed: "You’re a subordinate of that bastard, so you’re even lower than a bastard, right?"
"You damn psychopath!"
Xinmu was immediately infuriated, spitting furiously as he spoke.
"Hehe! Quite sharp-tongued. If it were under normal circumstances, you might’ve died because of that sentence, but today, I can let you live until Qin Hao the scum appears."
Hong Zhongkai, extremely arrogant, stepped forward, squinting: "Tell me where Qin Hao the scum is, and then I’ll consider whether to spare you."
"You want to find Qin Hao?"
Understanding Hong Zhongkai’s intention, Xinmu seemed somewhat surprised.
"Yes! It seems you know where that scum is! Hurry, tell me!"
In his excitement, Hong Zhongkai couldn’t help but step forward.
Xinmu instinctively stepped back, angrily said: "Don’t touch me!"
"Speak quickly! Otherwise, it won’t be simple as just touching you!"
As Hong Zhongkai spoke, he signaled to the people around him.
God of Wealth, Xu Zhiming, and others surrounded Xinmu tightly.
"You guys..."
Xinmu gritted his teeth and sneered: "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you where Qin Hao is, but if I do, you’d die."
Die?
The scene paused for a moment.
Then, laughter erupted from everyone.
"Hahahahaha!"
"That’s hilarious!"
"Usually, Xinmu seems normal, why today, does he seem as absurd as a fool?"
Be it the God of Wealth or Xu Zhiming, everyone laughed heartily.
Hong Zhongkai even clutched his belly, laughing till his face turned red: "You silly fool, thanks for your ’kind’ reminder, now, please let your dog master come to kill us."
"Are you sure?"
Xinmu spoke with utmost seriousness.
Just then, another group came over.
It turned out to be Emily and Old He.
Emily’s expression unchanged: "It seems you want to kill the Night Emperor."
She didn’t say the second half, but her intention was clear.
You want to kill Qin Hao, so I’m here.
Old He hesitated for a moment, then resentfully said: "Major Hong, the previous matter was a misunderstanding, I agree to follow you."
"Humph, it’s wise of you, old bones." Only then did Hong Zhongkai’s expression soften a bit, then he said with a sinister face: "Then let’s wait for Qin Hao the dog bastard to come out and die together."
Seeing Hong Zhongkai agree, Old He breathed a sigh of relief, then asked: "What were you all talking about earlier? Why so much laughter?"
"Wasn’t it just this big fool telling jokes..."
Under Hong Zhongkai’s gaze, the God of Wealth repeated Xinmu’s words.
"We’ll die?"
Even though Old He was in his seventies, after he was dumbfounded for a moment, he shook his head and laughed: "I haven’t heard such a funny joke in a long time!"
Beside him, Emily remained expressionless: "Hope the taste of the Night Emperor’s blood is sweet."
Evidently, neither of them took Xinmu’s words seriously.
Xinmu’s expression was full of helplessness and bitterness: "Why the fuss, I really didn’t act smart, I sincerely meant well for you, why do you have to do this?"
"Alright, alright! Quit your babbling!"
The more Xinmu spoke like this, the less everyone believed him. The God of Wealth couldn’t help but interrupt.
Xu Zhiming also shook his head: "Telling the joke once is enough, why repeat it."
Emily licked her lips: "Later, the Night Emperor’s dog life is mine!"
Only Hong Zhongkai’s expression remained quite calm, but his furrowed brows betrayed his violent mood.
He couldn’t help but shout: "Hurry up and hand over Qin Hao the scum! I can’t wait to torture him!"
