The Bull Demon King's tactic of feigning retreat indeed moved the two hesitant followers. They quickly said:
"Don't, Brother Bull! We're all on the same side. Besides, we were just asking casually. It's not like we can just decide not to go. I'm still waiting to seize the opportunity and ask for a reward from our master!"
"Given Brother Bull's honest and straightforward nature, he definitely wouldn't trick us. Even if there's danger, it shouldn't be too great. With our strength, we should be able to handle the creatures guarding the place, right?"
Another follower asked again.
The Bull Demon King said with an air of importance, "They're about the strength of an early-stage Human Immortal. With your two brothers' cultivation, you should be able to deal with them. However, I'm telling you in advance, the opportunity there definitely isn't as good as this Bronze Ancient Hall. Maybe our master won't even look at it."
Won't look at it?
It's good if he won't look at it. That way, they could embezzle it!
The more the Bull Demon King said this, the more eager they became. "Brother Bull, what are we waiting for? Hurry and take us there, lest others get there first!"
The Bull Demon King looked troubled. "Or maybe..."
"Brother Bull, you wouldn't be regretting it, would you? How about this, if we brothers manage to seize the opportunity, we'll give you 20% of it, okay?"
The two followers said they didn't mind the Bull Demon King's status as a criminal from the Sin Domain, but their bodies were very honest, constantly showing their nobility as beings from the Upper Realm and their contempt for the Sin Domain beings.
'20%? Only 20%!'
The Bull Demon King was originally feeling slightly guilty for deceiving them, but after hearing their words, he felt no guilt at all. These Upper Realm beings all deserve to die; they deserve to be tricked.
"The two brothers are truly benevolent!"
The Bull Demon King said sincerely with gratitude.
The two followers, seeing the Bull Demon King's unpromising appearance, were also muttering in their hearts: Did we give too much? Maybe 10% would have been enough. A miscalculation!
"Two brothers, this old bull will take you to that place of opportunity now!"
The Bull Demon King excitedly led the way for the two.
The two followers nodded slightly, followed behind the Bull Demon King, and quickly flew towards a direction on the left.
At first, these two were still wary of the Bull Demon King, afraid that the Bull Demon King was tricking them, but when they arrived at their destination, they completely abandoned their vigilance, because it was indeed a place of opportunity. There was a gray stone disk inside, emitting an ancient and vicissitudinous aura from a great distance.
The two followers carefully stared at the stone disk. After a while, one of them's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed:
"This stone disk is indeed a divine object. Its material is actually the very rare Five Elements Luster Stone. This kind of stone has a special spirituality. Once activated, it can connect to the Five Elements Laws, and this Five Elements Luster Stone has a great weight. Even a small piece can be comparable to a mountain peak!"
You must know that in the cultivation world, everything that can be related to the origin laws is an absolute treasure, and this stone disk is no exception. Moreover, the most important thing is that this stone disk is several feet wide. Even if it is not activated, its own weight can crush people to death!
The Bull Demon King, hearing the exclamation, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Two brothers, you agreed to give me 20% just now. You can't go back on your word at this time!"
The two followers looked at each other, seeing the greed in each other's eyes, but they did not speak directly, but transmitted their voices to each other. The general meaning was: Should we kill this bull? That way, the two of them could divide the stone disk equally, without having to give 20% to this bull.
In the moment their eyes met, they reached a consensus.
They would directly kill the Bull Demon King, so that there would be no bystanders, and they could freely hide this Five Elements Stone Disk. As for how to explain it to their master, they would say that the Bull Demon King wanted to escape, and after they discovered it, he did not repent, but instead attacked them. In the fierce fight, they accidentally killed the Bull Demon King.
The Bull Demon King's perception was extremely sharp. How could he not detect the greed in their eyes, as well as the faint killing intent? To this, he remained calm, pretending not to notice anything, and urged:
"Hurry up and take it. This old bull will keep watch for you!"
The two followers smiled strangely in unison, nodded towards the Bull Demon King, and then walked towards the stone disk. They had already seen the creature guarding the stone disk. It was indeed as the Bull Demon King said, its strength was roughly at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm, and the two of them could easily deal with it.
The creature guarding the stone disk, seeing that there were outsiders invading, immediately made a strange cry, and stared at the two with all its fur standing on end, baring its teeth.
"This little guy is quite fierce. I'll leave it to you to deal with. I'll go get the stone disk!"
"Okay, don't worry. I can easily deal with this creature!"
The two followers said easily and leisurely, walking in this place of opportunity as if they were strolling in their own back garden.
"Little guy, blame it on your bad luck!" A follower's face suddenly turned cold, and he violently attacked the little guy, using his strongest supernatural power as soon as he made a move, causing the wind and clouds to change color, wanting to kill the little guy, whose fur was standing up like a hedgehog, on the spot with lightning speed.
"Rumble!"
But at this moment, the ground suddenly experienced violent vibrations. In an instant, countless cracks formed on the ground, and an incomparably terrifying aura vented outwards from the cracks. One creature after another drilled out of the ground, and roared at the follower in unison. In this roar, there seemed to be a terrible power, which directly roared the follower, causing him to fall weakly from the void, fall heavily to the ground, his face turning purple, bleeding from all seven orifices, and he no longer had any signs of life. The whole person just died suddenly like this.
Another follower was shocked by this sudden change, and was stunned in place, motionless. After a while, he reacted, and quickly turned around and fled towards the periphery. In the process of fleeing, he also glanced at the location where the Bull Demon King was just now, and found that the Bull Demon King had long disappeared. In an instant, he understood that they had been tricked by this dead bull. This dead bull had intended to kill them here from the beginning.
'These Sin Domain creatures are indeed untrustworthy, they simply deserve to die!'
The follower thought while gnashing his teeth as he fled, and secretly vowed in his heart that if he could escape this time, he would definitely cut this dead bull into pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.
"Puff!"
Just when he thought he had escaped the place of opportunity, a sharp claw, flashing with a gray light, easily penetrated his chest from behind, and crushed his heart with one hand. Even his immortal soul was shattered by the strange cry.
As the owner of the sharp claw, it retracted its claws, its gaze paused for a moment in the distant place, and then indifferently retracted its gaze, leading its own people back to the underground. Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. There was still a little guy on the ground, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Far away.
On a lush branch.
The Bull Demon King used a cattail leaf fan to cover himself, only leaving his eyes outside. At this moment, his body had become a little stiff, because just now, he had met the gaze of that powerful creature. He was very sure that he had been targeted, and maybe the aura on his body had been locked. If he got any closer, he might end up the same as that follower.
"No, I can't stay here any longer. This is too dangerous. This old bull doesn't want to stay any longer. I have to quickly find the old Taoist of the Bull Nose to join up!"
The Bull Demon King shuddered, and then quickly went in the direction of the mark left by the Pingtian Taoist, and soon found the Pingtian Taoist.
The Pingtian Taoist also told the Bull Demon King a piece of news, that is, those Upper Realm beings who entered the Bronze Ancient Hall encountered a great change not long after they entered. A peerless fierce spirit took action and strangled a large number of Upper Realm beings, staining the ancient hall with blood. Only a very small number of beings were lucky enough to escape from it.
The Bull Demon King's evaluation of this was only two words, that is, they deserved it!
Who told these people to force him to lead the way? Now it's good, leading the way almost led to the annihilation of the entire army!
The Bull Demon King's mood couldn't help but become cheerful when he thought that he had tricked so many people to death, and he even couldn't help but hum lightly, but suddenly he thought that these Upper Realm beings who escaped were probably going to hate him to death, including that Qingyuan King who favored him. At this moment, he probably wanted to cut him into pieces.
Thinking of this, the Bull Demon King couldn't laugh anymore. He quickly told the Pingtian Taoist that he must hurry up and escape. Once caught, the worst result would inevitably await them.
The Pingtian Taoist also thought so, and secretly muttered in his heart that he should not offend this dead bull if he could in the future, because this dead bull would really scheme against people, and there was no bottom line. The main thing was that there were no rules, and he would trick as many as he could.
One bull and one person ran out with their heads covered, because the risks had been swept away almost completely, so they escaped very quickly, but after escaping halfway, the Pingtian Taoist's movements suddenly stopped. The Bull Demon King, who was closely following behind the Pingtian Taoist's butt, didn't expect the Pingtian Taoist to stop suddenly, and directly bumped into his waist.
At the same time, two miserable cries resounded through the void.
The Pingtian Taoist clutched his waist, his face ugly: "My waist!"
The Bull Demon King clutched his head, screaming: "Head, my bull head!"
"Dead bull, what are you shouting? You have thick skin and flesh, and you bumped into this poor Taoist, how could it hurt?" The Pingtian Taoist said angrily.
The Bull Demon King also said angrily: "How can it not hurt? You have steel bones, this old bull suspects that you are made of divine gold. Besides, can this be blamed on this old bull? If you hadn't stopped suddenly, how could I have bumped into you? Tell me, why did you stop!"
The Pingtian Taoist was really speechless. He pointed to the distance and said angrily: "Can't you see for yourself? What are your big bull eyes for? If they are of no use, it's better to just gouge them out and throw them away!"
After the Pingtian Taoist reminded him, the Bull Demon King looked in the direction pointed by the Pingtian Taoist with a dazed expression. If he didn't look, he wouldn't know, but if he looked, he would be shocked, because there were three people standing not far away, two men and one woman. The woman's aura didn't seem very strong, and she looked like a servant. As for the two men, the aura on their bodies was completely different. Just standing there seemed to be one with the heavens and the earth, especially the one who looked a little younger, his aura was as surging as a starry sea, as if he had the ability to reach the sky and the earth. Between every gesture, he exuded an invincible aura, and his eyes were intimidating and arrogant. This demeanor was even more powerful and domineering than Qingyuan King.
The Pingtian Taoist was secretly suffering in his heart:
"I knew I shouldn't have come to meet this dead bull. Now it's good, just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's den again, and this person dares to travel alone, which shows his extreme confidence in his own strength!"
The Bull Demon King was trembling in his heart, because he recognized the appearance of the young man, who was the murderer who killed Brother Xu, the one who claimed to be the Son of Heavenly Immortal, and was besieged by a group of Upper Realm beings, Chen Xu.
Wasn't it rumored that he had already escaped back to the Upper Realm because he had caused a monstrous disaster? Why did he suddenly come back, and still appear in this place.
The Bull Demon King had been fleeing in this tomb during this period of time, and did not know what was happening outside. Of course, no matter what happened, this Chen Xu killed Brother Xu, and he had an irreconcilable feud with him.
His brain quickly thought, and soon he thought of an idea. Although this idea was very dangerous, and might backfire, but for the present, besides this plan, there was no other better way.
He looked at the Pingtian Taoist, and gave him a look. I have to say that although the two often had friction on weekdays, and often had conflicts over some small things, at the critical moment, the tacit understanding between the two was still very high. With one look from the Bull Demon King, the Pingtian Taoist knew what to do.
The two did not hesitate at all, turned around and ran back, without stopping at all.
The Bull Demon King's plan was to drive away the tiger to swallow the wolf. Since the two sides were at odds, then he would trigger the conflict between the two sides, so that he could fish in troubled waters. Although this approach was a bit like dancing on the tip of a knife, he had no better way for the time being.
He didn't want to join this Chen Xu. From an emotional point of view, this Chen Xu killed his sworn brother. He couldn't even pretend to join him with such hatred.
"Boom..."
However, their speed was too slow, so slow that the three people behind them could easily catch up with them, and stop in front of them, not letting them move forward half a step.
"Old Taoist of the Bull Nose, there is no way, we can only fight desperately!"
The Bull Demon King shouted loudly at the Pingtian Taoist. He sensed extreme danger, and believed that these three people were coming aggressively, and would definitely not let them go.
The Pingtian Taoist nodded solemnly, and was about to go all out with the Bull Demon King. Even if they couldn't escape, they couldn't die so uselessly. They had to show their demeanor.
"Brother Xu, this old bull has no way to avenge you, but don't worry, this old bull and the old Taoist of the Bull Nose will come to see you soon. When we are under the Yellow Springs, let's be brothers again!"
The Bull Demon King whispered, and then burst out with a tyrannical aura, and the blood and energy all over his body were surging.
The Pingtian Taoist was also the same. The originally thin figure was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming several feet tall, and his whole body was dyed golden, like a golden giant.
Xu Yang, disguised as Chen Xu, felt both moved and amused when he saw this scene. He gently opened his mouth and said:
"Stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bull Demon King and Daoist Ping Tian seemed to have been given a hallucinogenic drug, becoming disoriented. Following Xu Yang's instructions, they calmed the Qi and blood within their bodies, their complexions returning to normal. The look in their eyes as they looked at Xu Yang was full of goodwill, without any other emotions, as calm as still water.
