Chapter 373: Single-mindedness
"What are you going to do?" Uncle Gu exclaimed, with a look of horror on his face, but he stood in place in a daze, without any intention of dodging and resisting.
"Kill you!" Seeing this, Nie Chen's eyes were cold, and the fairy sword in his hand was a little faster. She wanted to see how long this person could pretend.
Uncle Gu's face changed, and when he saw that Jian Feng was in front of him, he had no intention of stopping, and he could no longer continue to disguise. With a flash of his feet, he ducked a few meters away and dodged the fatal blow.
"What, don't you continue to pretend?" Nie Chen pursed his lips with a look of contempt on his face.
Uncle Gu let out a cold snort: "Fellow Daoist, you and I are both people all the way, why bother yourself." ”
"Who is with you all the way!" Nie Chen looked disgusted, "Say! Why did you do this, don't tell me that your appearance here is all accidental." ”
"These people are sacrifices to the Void Lake, if you let them go, we need to compensate with our own lives. In comparison, I think it's more cost-effective to sacrifice a few mortals. Uncle Gu replied.
Nie Chenxiu frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?"
"Every time the Void Lake appears, after the ebb and flow of the tide, it leaves a large number of treasures on the shore. I believe that Daoist friends already know this.
But there is one thing that Daoist friends may not know, every time the tide rises, the Void Lake needs blood food sacrifices. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to pick up treasures at the ebb and flow, and the danger will increase several times. ”
"So you want to sacrifice these mortals, but I'm afraid it's not enough for a few dozen people?" Nie Chen asked.
"Of course not. This is just the first batch, and when the next tide rises, more sacrifices will be needed. ”
"Where did those come from?"
"Just go to the nearby villages and collect them. Uncle Gu's tone was very relaxed.
"Damn it!" Nie Chen's face sank.
"Why, isn't Daoist friends happy about this thing?" Uncle Gu smiled darkly.
"If you want to take the treasure, you must pay your own price, and this sacrifice is your responsibility. At this time, don't you feel shameless to ask these mortals to die in their place and let them pay the price of their lives to help you complete the sacrifice!"
"Shameless? Hahaha! Are you kidding, the lives of our monks are comparable to those mortals. Let them sacrifice to the Void Lake, this is already the greatest gift for them!
This matter is not my decision alone, but the common choice of hundreds of monks on the shores of the Void Lake. If you have an opinion, you can choose not to participate, but please do not interfere with our affairs.
Otherwise, you will be an enemy of our hundreds of monks. At that time, no matter how high your cultivation is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the wrath of all cultivators. ”
Nie Chen shook his head: "Since I know about this matter, I will definitely not let you continue." These mortals, I must take them!"
"Do you really want to go your own way?" Uncle Gu's face turned cold.
"It's you who insist on going your own way! Killing mortals is against the harmony of heaven, and by doing so, you are sending yourself to the point of no return. ”
As long as you dare to save them, you will be the enemy of hundreds of my monks, and you must think about the consequences!"
Nie Chen glanced at Uncle Gu, and then his gaze turned and swept over the cultivators dozens of miles away. Running the cultivation and blessing into the words, Nie Chen's voice sounded in the ears of all the monks at the same time.
"These mortals, I have saved them today! If you want to stop them, just come and do it. However, from the moment you walked out, it was equivalent to standing on my hostile side, and don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
Hearing Nie Chen's warning words, all the cultivators looked at each other with a hint of hesitation on their faces. Nie Chen did not show his cultivation, but he dared to stand up and challenge the cultivators, and he must have the confidence to do so.
They were considering whether it was worth it to be at odds with such an being. After all, there is not much conflict between the two sides, and the center of the conflict is just a few dozen mortals.
Chilong and the others were standing in the crowd at this time. Hearing Nie Chen's voice, the two glanced at each other with a look of hesitation on their faces.
Their hearts are full of contradictions at this time, and some don't know how to choose.
If you turn a blind eye, although you can get rid of this trouble, it will create a gap between you and Nie Chen. The subsequent cooperation, there will definitely be cracks, and it will even be abandoned by this strong ally.
This is a very bad thing for them. With their cultivation, they can't compete with the cultivators here at all. The final result is that it is a blessing to return in vain, and the biggest possibility is that the lives of the two of them are not guaranteed, and they will become a wisp of dead souls on the shore of this void lake.
But if they stood up and clearly supported Nie Chen, they didn't have the guts. That's hundreds of monks, and with the ability of the two of them, each other can kill them hundreds of times with one finger.
However, there were also people who were very aggressive, and with a few shouts, more than a dozen monks came out of the crowd and went straight to the place where Nie Chen was. After a dozen breaths, they rushed to the front and stood beside Uncle Gu.
These dozen or so people, except for one person in the late stage of immortals, the others are all in the early stage of human immortals. There are even a few of them, and they are still in the realm of Yuan Infants. This kind of cultivation is already a low-level existence among the cultivators here, and it will take the initiative to stand up, which makes Nie Chen's heart a little surprised.
But after a little thought, Nie Chen understood the reason why they stood up.
These low-level monks were originally cannon fodder-like existences. If he saved these mortals, they would be the easiest substitutes.
With such a direct stake, they had to step out and fight for more possibilities for survival.
What they think, but it's also human nature. Nie Chen can understand, but he doesn't agree, and he won't change his original intention because of this.
They are monks, and if they voluntarily come here to grab the treasure, they should be responsible for their own life and death.
His eyes swept over the dozen or so people, and Nie Chen's voice sounded again: "Is there only a dozen of them?" ”
The cultivators were silent, and no one came out. They were waiting, waiting for the moment when Nie Chen showed his cultivation. If Nie Chen was strong, they would naturally retreat. If Nie Chen showed even a little weakness, they wouldn't mind rushing up and completely solving this trouble.
Nie Chen nodded: "Okay, very good! In this way, there are only a dozen of you who have different opinions." I'm asking, do you really want to go your own way?"
Since you want to die, don't blame our men for being ruthless. All fellow Daoists, go up together and solve this stumbling block!" Uncle Gu shouted again, encouraging everyone to do it.
But he himself quietly took half a step back. Looking at his plans, he was not ready to make a move immediately.
