"Little Dan, stop fooling around. Let's go!"

Being mocked for his embarrassing situation, Jin Lei desperately needed a savior to save his life.

The music of heaven, the most beautiful melody in the world, is not to let you indulge in a dream, but to take you out of a desperate situation.

The voice was the most beautiful voice Jin Lei had ever heard in his life.

At this moment, someone must stop Chi Dan. This person must be someone else, someone who has always been by his side. Needless to say, it must be Huo Luan.

There was a blood-colored face in the darkness. Even though he was trying his best to hold in a breath, the corner of his mouth still twitched slightly. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his joy.

How complicated his gaze was, it was filled with gratitude and anger, and there was a hint of helplessness in his hesitation.

Jin Lei should have been grateful after receiving the gift. However, when he saw the gift trying so hard to suppress his laughter, the gratitude instantly disappeared. He was filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do because of Chi Dan's presence.

"You're not a gentleman if you don't avenge this enmity!"

It wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He would endure it for a while, but at this moment, Jin Lei had already memorized the 'Heaven's Gift' and the 'Scarlet Pill'.

Since they were here to save the day, there was no need for Jin Lei to laugh heartily. Since there was no kindness, there was no need for him to be grateful.

He was urged by his companions that he wouldn't leave even if he failed to earn more spirit stones.

"All of you are smiling quite happily. I think that you are already prepared to bid. Let's compete then!"

At the very least, he could avoid the flames of war.

Extreme joy begets sorrow. This was the most realistic portrayal of the cultivators who couldn't help but mock Jin Lei. Chi Dan had his sights set on them first.

In a human city, even if a demon beast was a dragon, it had to sit cross-legged, let alone a tiger. The Scarlet Core used the friendly relationship between humans and demons as a pretext, and those few people understood that it would not kill people in anger.

As such, they once again wanted to remain silent and watch from the sidelines.

This was the real Scarlet Pill.

Chi Dan might not kill someone.

The ancient beasts, the mountain butter, and the good scolding, if they met with it, they deserved the misfortune of those cultivators with ill intentions. Since no one bought Shentu Shun's whereabouts, there was no need to be polite with others.

"F * ck his grandmother, a bunch of son of a b * tch, they are really f * cking poor!"

No one could laugh at this moment. No one was bidding outside the city, meaning that Chi Dan had cursed everyone.

Of course, Tian Ci and Huo Luan were not in the scolded range.

Scarlet Pill's success in drawing a lot of hatred between Huo Luan and Tian Ci made them unable to laugh.

"Damn it, it's so unlucky to meet a bunch of paupers!"

"Damn brat, let's go!"

As the involved party, he had been busy for the most part of the day. Needless to say spirit stones, he hadn't even seen a single stone. Naturally, Chi Dan couldn't smile.

"Why aren't you laughing?"

"Didn't you laugh at me just now?"

The first person to be scolded was Jin Lei. How could he laugh? To be honest, he felt comfortable watching all the cultivators get scolded.

"Sigh, could it be that I guessed wrongly?"

No one dared to stop Chi Dan as he was about to leave. The only thought in the minds of those who had ulterior motives was whether the cultivator of the tribulation level would come.

If someone had to stop the Scarlet Core, it would have to be Tian Ci and the tribulation stage cultivators. No one was counting on Tian Ci. Everyone could tell that the person who wanted to leave the place the most was him.

Tribulation Realm cultivators possessed strength comparable to the demon kings. Only those of their level would dare to clash head-on with them.

For cultivators below the Divine Tribulation Realm, unless their cultivation was heaven-defying, only then would they be able to fight against the Monster King. There was also another possibility: if everyone worked together, they could fight against or even surpass the Monster King.

Teamwork?

Perhaps cultivators from the same sect could do it. Cultivators from all over the city came from all over the place and had their own ulterior motives. It was very difficult to work together and teamwork was the most unreliable.

It was imperative to think of a way to keep the Scarlet Core. Once it entered the Hollow Jade Sect, it would be almost impossible to obtain Shentu Shun's location.

"What should we do?"

"We can't let it leave!"

Chi Dan turned around to leave, but the spectators could no longer remain calm. There was a commotion. The other party was looking at him, as though his eyes were telling the other party not to let him leave.

"Dammit, why didn't anyone ask me to stay?"

"As long as you say the word, I will definitely stay!"

How could he take back the water that he had spilled when he said that?

Since he had already said that he would leave, he definitely could not take it back. Once he took back what he had said, his intention to amass wealth would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

Seeing that everyone was agitated and no one tried to stop him, Chi Dan began to panic.

No one stopped him. It was very anxious, but it did not regret leaving. Only by giving people a sense of urgency could it force them to slowly submit.

Everyone had already experienced this, so even though they were very anxious, no one stood out to help.

It was as if they'd discussed it beforehand. Tens, hundreds of pairs of eyes locked onto one person at the same time. It was Jin Lei.

The pairs of eyes were clear and bright. All of the passing over was good will, as if they had forgotten the ridicule just now. It was as if they were saying that everyone should put aside their past grudges and go out together.

"Haha, are you in a hurry?"

"Who asked you to laugh at me!"

Shentu Shun's whereabouts were extremely important. If he said he wasn't in a hurry, he was definitely lying. Jin Lei didn't say anything to stop Chi Dan. He didn't want to be the first one to take the lead.

Since everyone had their own requests, why not sell everyone a favor and be the first one to take the lead?

"Cough cough. Your Highness Demon King, please wait. I have a suggestion, is it feasible …"

Although Jin Lei couldn't take out five top quality spirit stones to buy Shentu Shun's location, he had to stop him from leaving. If he could make an excuse to stay, Chi Dan would definitely find him adorable.

As for his suggestion, Chi Dan didn't take it seriously.

"What?"

As he turned to leave, he didn't take a step forward. Chi Dan's face was expressionless, but of course, even if he had an expression, no one would be able to tell that his words didn't contain the slightest hint of anger.

He had been careful when it came to interacting with others. He had done his best in this area. If he got angry at Jin Lei again, it would definitely affect the outcome.

"Your Highness Demon King has changed paths. When you come to my sect as a guest, I believe that the Cracking Sky Sect will give you a satisfactory answer. How about it?"

A good suggestion, but too insidious.

When Tian Ci and Chi Dan went to the Hollow Jade Sect, Fu Yun had already planned this out. He definitely could not change it. Forget about not expressing his stance with Tian Ci, even Chi Dan would never go against the immortal master's wishes.

Little Dan was greedy for small advantages, but right and wrong, and Heaven gave him the confidence that Little Dan would disappoint him.

Besides, this was just a suggestion, a plan. He understood what Jin Lei meant.

Not only did Tian Ci understand, Chi Dan also understood that in order to force the other cultivators to submit, he was very willing to cooperate with Jin Lei.

"Haha, good suggestion!"

If they were able to stand out and become a guest on the wall, then they would be able to reap the benefits. How could they not be satisfied!

Allies, in front of benefits, allies are the ones who use them. On the surface, everyone gives a grateful look, but in their hearts, they are sneering.

Before they could express their gratitude, Jin Lei's suggestion infuriated them. In particular, Chi Dan might have accepted his suggestion. Once again, he stared coldly at Jin Lei.

Even though they knew it was Jin Lei's scheme, they still couldn't resist.

Jin Lei was no fool, he would never take the lead again. He had already been humiliated once by Chi Dan.

What allies would destroy themselves in front of benefits? How could he not know that inviting Chi Dan to visit the sect was simply a ploy to lure the cultivators into the water.

Inviting Crimson Core to join the sect. It wasn't hard to determine why it was just a scheme.

Chi Dan had Shentu Shun's location, so any sect would compete to invite him.

It goes without saying that no sect would be willing to see any other sect getting their hands on him, even if it was just a piece of news. If they were not invited, it would prevent the other sects from getting their hands on him and even kill Chi Dan and Tian Ci.

What's more, Chi Dan's attitude towards Jin Lei before this was extremely terrible. He would definitely be hated. Once he entered the Sky Cracking Sect, whether he was an enemy or a guest, he would be forced to act.

Hence, the olive branch Jin Lei had thrown aside might not have been genuine.

Everyone was concerned, how could Lu Ding be an exception?

Even though he knew it was Jin Lei's plan, he still had to stop him. After all, he had been robbed at the foot of his mountain. He couldn't avoid punishment if he returned to the sect without making any sort of response.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, my sect's martial uncle should be arriving soon. Would you like to invite him over to the Splitting Heaven Sect?"

The righteous path of the world would hold a martial arts contest every ten years to promote friendly relations between the various sects. They would display the strength of their sects through the competition and intimidate those who didn't.

Thus, Jin Lei and Lu Ding had met several times during the tournament, and both knew the other party well.

"Haha, Fellow Lu must be joking. I am only proposing to head to my sect. Isn't it up to the Demon King to decide?"

Being under someone else's roof, Jin Lei had no choice but to lower his head. In other people's territory, it wasn't good for him to offend Lu Ding. Jin Lei's tone was very polite.

The most important thing was timing. If it was before, Lu Ding would have surely been scolded if he were to interrupt the conversation. However, now that he had interrupted the conversation, Crimson Dan felt that he was still rather adorable.

"Haha, it's hard to refuse such a grand favor. This king should have changed paths and gone to the Splitting Heaven Sect to have a seat. I should have drank tea, ate with the grand master, and looked at the sky while I talked about the Dao."

As he spoke, "Honest words", his eyes were focused on his surroundings, his ears were focused on his surroundings, and he had a short rest, so he continued speaking.

"However, since we've already reached the foot of the Hollow Jade Sect, it would be unwise to not pay a visit. How about this, I will first pay a visit to the Hollow Jade Sect and then change my path to the Sky-Splitting Sect. Little Brother Jin, what do you think?"

Since Jin Lei had kindly invited him, he had replied in kind without hurting their 'friendship'. Everyone was overjoyed.

"Haha, this is great. Junior will wait quietly for the beautiful voice."

If he really did pay a visit to the Cracking Sky Sect, Jin Lei naturally wouldn't take it seriously. He gave a token welcome.

In the five years they had spent crossing the border, Chi Dan had never cared about anyone's name. He only wanted to know the identity of the other party.

He had met Lu Ding yesterday, and only now did Chi Dan learn that Lu Ding's surname was Lu, not to mention that he didn't know his full name.

"Little friend Lu, let's go!"

Leaving just like that?

The news didn't sell?

You don't want the spirit stones?

Forgot, or deliberately?
