Dragon-Marked War God

Even Jiang Chen himself was stunned by his own words. He really had not thought much about it, but the speaker meant nothing while the listener read something into it. What he had said really did carry a rather suggestive meaning.

“Hehe, little friend, so what you mean is to split it down the middle with my Fossil Sect?”

Wu Zhentian said with a chuckle, showing neither joy nor displeasure. One could not tell what he really meant.

“I think you should understand, old man, that with your strength, you may not be able to achieve your final goal. And it just so happens that we’re here at this time, which is a good thing for you. Between working hard and getting nothing, or easily getting half, I think you know better than I do which is easier.”

Jiang Chen also said with a smile. The smile at the corner of Wu Zhentian’s mouth grew brighter and brighter. One had to say that Jiang Chen’s words had hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what he was worried about. If anything unexpected happened, it would very likely be something they could not withstand right now. But if Jiang Chen and the others were there, it would be a different story. Although Wu Zhentian could not completely trust Jiang Chen and the others, this person had saved their lives after all. All things considered, he could be counted as someone good-natured. He had no reason not to trust Jiang Chen.

“Of course, if you’re not willing, Old Master Wu, we won’t bother you. We’ll just go straight to the Central Region Divine Land.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Wu Zhentian’s smile gradually disappeared. He pointed at Jiang Chen and shook his head helplessly.

“You’re really putting me in check. You’ve driven me into a corner. Hehe.”

Wu Zhentian smiled bitterly, his face full of gravity. Jiang Chen was giving him an ultimatum. If he did not agree, the opportunity would be gone once it passed. Wu Zhentian also knew very well that this was a win-win matter. It was just that he might have to make some concessions. It was not the expected that one feared, but the unexpected. If something like what happened earlier occurred again, their lives might all be in danger. And if even their lives were gone, what use would any number of treasures be?

Wu Zhentian thought it over again and again. He knew he had to make a decision. Whether Jiang Chen was really going to leave or not, he had to show his attitude. Otherwise, this alliance might not be so simple.

“I’m only stating the facts.”

Jiang Chen said, playing hard to get. This was also a tactic, but it was also of great benefit to Wu Zhentian, and he could not fail to understand this. Their abilities were limited. If they forced their way into the Desolate Divine Land, the result might be something they could not bear. The more than twenty Mid Hierarch experts who had died earlier were the best proof. Although they were not their real core strength, how hard it was to train a group of Hierarch experts was not as simple as one might imagine. The greatest foundation of a sect depended on whether it had enough experts at the Divine King Realm and Hierarch Realm. No matter how strong you were, without a backbone force, that sect was destined not to last long.

Seeing Wu Zhentian’s expression, Tantai Jingzang knew that Master Wu was really going to agree to Jiang Chen. Then their secret could no longer be kept. Those things should have belonged to their Fossil Sect, but now they had to share them with others. For them, this was not good news.

“Master Wu, this—”

Tantai Jingzang wanted to say more, but Wu Zhentian waved his hand.

“There’s no need to say anything more. When we find the meteorite, we’ll split it equally. What do you think, little friend?”

“Good. I like talking to people like you, old man, who never beat around the bush.”

Jiang Chen glanced indifferently at Tantai Jingzang. Tantai Jingzang glared at Jiang Chen and snorted coldly, but there was nothing she could do. After all, Master Wu had already decided, and it was impossible for her to change it. This time she still had to follow Master Wu’s orders. Tantai Jingzang no longer had any hope for Jiang Chen. Although he had some ability, he was still completely different from a real Half-step Divine Emperor. At least in her hands, it would not be hard to finish him off.

“I hope you won’t disappoint.”

With that, Tantai Jingzang turned and left, taking the lead at the very front.

“That’s just how she is. Little friend, please don’t mind it. It’s just her personality. People who are good-natured are mostly like that.”

Wu Zhentian said.

People who are good-natured are mostly like that? More likely the old man had been talked back to by this girl until he had nothing to say. If she were by Jiang Chen’s side, he would have stopped indulging her long ago. She’s the typical type who holds her head higher than the sky. But she isn’t like that toward others. Jiang Chen could not figure it out either. Had he really been showing off in front of her?

“Haha, it looks like someone finally dares to stand up to you. Little Chen, you’d better seize the time.”

The Monk Tyrant looked at Jiang Chen with his eyebrows dancing, a suggestive look in his eyes.

“I’m not trying to discourage you, little brother, but don’t set your sights on Tantai Jingzang. Otherwise you’ll die a very, very miserable death. Although no one will make things hard for you here, if you enter the Fossil Sect, enter the domain of Kunshan County, and still dare to go after Tantai Jingzang like this, you might be ganged up on by countless young talents. When that time comes, no one will be able to save you.”

Sun Xiaolong shook his head and said with a sigh.

“You’re really overthinking it. I don’t have the slightest interest in her. There are plenty of good-looking women, but a shrew like that is more than I can handle. Relax, even if all the other women in the world died, I probably still wouldn’t be with her.”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“Then I can relax. I’m only saying this because I care about you. After all, not everyone can handle Tantai Jingzang. Although you have some ability, remember to guard against arrogance and impatience. You can’t be conceited. Otherwise, after you enter the Central Region Divine Land in the future, you won’t be able to take a single step. Every word I say to you comes from the bottom of my heart. You have to take it to heart.”

Sun Xiaolong said earnestly. At this moment, Jiang Chen truly felt that this Sun Xiaolong was simply a big mouth who rambled on endlessly and was more troublesome than a woman.

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Jiang Chen said somewhat helplessly, frowning deeply. But this guy seemed to have a great interest in guiding the direction of Jiang Chen’s life and kept seeking him out to talk.

“Look, Little Lone Mountain is right ahead!”

Sun Xiaolong walked at the very front and said, chattering on endlessly.

Everyone looked ahead. A ring-shaped mountain ridge appeared in everyone’s sight. An extremely powerful energy fluctuation came from within Little Lone Mountain.

The towering ancient trees around had all withered. Within a thousand miles, Little Lone Mountain was almost completely barren. Even the shape of the mountains seemed to have shifted greatly. Most importantly, there was not the slightest sign of life here. It was as if all the demonic beasts had vanished without a trace and could not be found anywhere. The flowers, plants and trees around had all withered without a drop of moisture left. Even Jiang Chen and the others felt great pressure after stepping into this place. Their mouths and tongues were dry, as if ten suns had appeared in the sky and were scorching them.
