The sudden encounter caught everyone off guard.
Especially Chu Mu and the other four. They originally thought that only the five of them had entered. They didn't expect that there would be others. After seeing the eight of them, Chu Mu finally confirmed that the source of his uneasiness was related to these eight people.
Luo Zhongxu and the others originally planned not to meet the five people who had entered first. This way, the other party wouldn't know of their existence and it would be easier for them to attack. However, they didn't expect that after going through so many twists and turns, they would end up at the same destination and coincidentally appear at the same time.
It was inevitable that they would meet.
"Luo Zhongxu." Xu Qingya's expression changed as she called out in a low voice.
"So it's Junior Sister Xu from Bloodbath City." Luo Zhongxu's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Qingya's face. "It seems that you and I are really fated to meet here even though we are thousands of miles apart. Come, Junior Sister Xu, join our team. You will definitely gain more than the team you are in now."
Luo Zhongxu's eyes, expression, and tone immediately made it clear that he was interested in Xu Qingya.
However, his words caused Long Yunkong and the others to narrow their eyes. A cold light flashed in their eyes.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's you. What do you mean your team will gain more than ours?" Mu Gaoli retorted sharply. "Who do you think you are?"
Chu Mu immediately understood that many of these people knew each other.
However, it made sense. After all, Long Yunkong and the others were geniuses. Moreover, the four of them belonged to the second array. Their cultivation had reached the seven-star Saint level. Naturally, they would be famous.
That Luo Zhongxu was an eight-star Saint. It wasn't surprising that they knew him.
"With just the five of you, a group of seven-star Saints … No, there's even a four-star Saint …" Luo Zhongxu and the others were stunned.
Four-star Saint level?
In an instant, all of their gazes were focused on Chu Mu.
When they met just now, their main attention was on Xu Qingya and the others. They didn't think too much.
After all, to enter the first level of the Sinner's Cavern, it was a little risky for a mid-level Saint to enter. As for the second level, one would not dare to enter without the strength of a Seven Star Saint.
No one had expected that there would be a mid-level Martial Saint here. If he was a peak-level six-star Martial Saint and was a prodigy, he might be able to move around in the second level with the other high-level Martial Saints. However, this person was not a six-star Martial Saint. He was a four-star Martial Saint, and a low-level four-star Martial Saint.
That gaze felt as if it would pierce right through Chu Mu. After looking at him a few more times, Zhang Xuan was finally able to ascertain that the young man before him was a 4-star Saint primary realm cultivator.
"Hahahaha, I really don't know if I should say that you guys are overly confident or extremely stupid. Just four Seven Star Martial Saints actually dared to bring a Four Star Martial Saint beginner level trash to explore the second level of the cave." One of the eight people pointed at Chu Mu and mocked him openly.
They were all using the power of their souls to communicate. Otherwise, they were afraid that they would attract the attention of the sinners.
The faces of the eight people were filled with mockery and ridicule.
Chu Mu's expression did not change. It was as if the trash they were talking about had nothing to do with him.
Chu Mu had never been good at this kind of verbal argument, nor did he like it.
So what if they said more? He might as well draw his sword directly.
"It has nothing to do with you guys who we want to explore the cavern with. If you don't want to wake up the sinners, let's explore on our own," Yue Zhen said in a deep voice.
"Junior Sister Xu, come on. If you team up with us, I guarantee that your harvest will definitely be three times more than what you have now." Luo Zhongxu's contemptuous gaze swept over Yue Zhen and the others. He naturally knew Long Yunkong's group. After all, that genius' reputation was above his. Although Luo Zhongxu could also be considered a genius, he was ranked at the bottom of the third formation.
Even so, with his strength as an Eight-star Saint, it was enough to defeat and even kill an Eight-star Saint in the middle level. Therefore, even if Long Yunkong, who could be ranked in the top three in the second array, was in front of him, he would not care. After all, Long Yunkong was only an Eight-star Saint in the early level. His strength was indeed stronger, but he was only at the peak of the Seven-star Saint level. There was a big gap between him and an Eight-star Saint.
If he were to attack, he wouldn't need three moves to kill Long Yunkong.
Even if the four Seven Star Martial Saints joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him. Luo Zhongxu was confident of this. Not to mention, there were seven other people on his side besides him. They were at least beginner Seven Star Martial Saints. There were also mid and high Seven Star Martial Saints, as well as a peak Seven Star Martial Saint.
Whether it was individual strength or team strength, they had an overwhelming advantage. Under such circumstances, why would Luo Zhongxu put them in his eyes?
Moreover, he had already made his decision. He would wait until they left the cave and kill all of them. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"More than three times …" Before Xu Qingya could answer, Mu Gaoli revealed a sarcastic smile.
He was very clear about their harvest this time. Because of Chu Mu, they repeatedly discovered that in terms of harvest, each of them had at least a hundred Silver Hearts. The other party said more than three times, which meant that they had at least three hundred Silver Hearts.
Was this possible?
It was completely impossible. There were eight people on the other side. If each of them had at least three hundred Silver Hearts, they would have more than two thousand four hundred Silver Hearts.
Therefore, Mu Gaoli revealed a sarcastic smile.
"Luo Zhongxu, I'm already satisfied with my current harvest." Xu Qingya rejected Luo Zhongxu. However, she wasn't stupid. She didn't reveal that they had a good harvest, even though her thoughts were similar to Mu Gaoli's at this moment.
"Junior sister Xu, you have to consider carefully. It's hard to predict the result of traveling with a few weaklings." Luo Zhongxu's tone lowered, containing traces of threat. The others also revealed sinister expressions. However, they didn't dare to release any killing intent.
"Hehe, do you dare to make a move here?" Mu Gaoli grinned provocatively. He was very clear that the other party absolutely wouldn't dare to make a move. Not to mention making a move, they wouldn't even dare to release killing intent. Otherwise, not only would they fail to kill them, they would also die under the sharp claws of the sinners.
Mu Gaoli's words immediately caused the faces of Luo Zhongxu and the others to turn gloomy.
Xu Qingya didn't reply to Luo Zhongxu. However, her expression was very clear. She refused.
"Alright, looks like junior sister Xu doesn't understand the situation in front of her." Luo Zhongxu pretended to sigh with emotion. Spiritual transmission could also be so rich. Then, his eyes turned cold as he swept his gaze across the faces of the five. "Now, each of you will hand over half of your wealth."
The sudden change in attitude surprised everyone. They were even more astonished that he would ask for half of their wealth.
"Luo Zhongxu, aren't you being too presumptuous?" Long Yunkong's tone carried traces of anger.
"Do you think that I won't dare to make a move here?" Since it had already come to this point, Luo Zhongxu had no choice but to go all out. "Let me tell you, once the sinners are alerted, I guarantee that you will be the first to die."
In terms of strength, Luo Zhongxu's side was indeed much stronger than Long Yunkong's side. Therefore, once they were surrounded by the sinners, the first to die would probably be Long Yunkong's group. As for Luo Zhongxu's group, if they didn't encounter a silver-level sinner, they might be able to survive.
This was a probability, a gamble.
After realizing this, the faces of Long Yunkong and the others suddenly became very gloomy.
Of course, it was undeniable that they still had some trump cards. If they used those trump cards, they might be able to rush out of the sinners' cave and leave alive. However, if they used those trump cards, they wouldn't be able to gain much this time.
Think about it. Xu Qingya's Ice-sealing Spiritual Jade could only deal with a peak seven-star Martial Saint and only threaten an eight-star Martial Saint. Therefore, each of them would have to compensate her with a piece of Silver Heart. If they had stronger trump cards, they would be worth more.
In the face of life, the value of trump cards couldn't be compared to the value of life. However, it was best not to use them if possible.
However, did they really have to hand over half of their wealth?
"You can try and see who dies first." Chu Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in an indifferent and resolute voice.
His sudden words indeed caught everyone off guard. However, Long Yunkong and the others didn't refute, because until now, except for the fact that they didn't know Chu Mu's specific strength, they admired everything else about him.
Moreover, he was also a member of the team and was qualified to make the decision.
However, Luo Zhongxu and the others were all stunned when they heard Chu Mu's words.
A four-star beginner Martial Saint actually dared to speak to them like this. This was simply revolting.
"What? A few seven-star Martial Saints actually let a four-star Martial Saint make the decision?" Fat Rat's eyes rolled as he provoked.
"Brother Chu's decision is our decision," Long Yunkong said at the right time.
"Although I'm not convinced, this is also my opinion," Mu Gaoli said with a smile.
"That's my opinion," Yue Zhen said in a deep voice. Xu Qingya nodded.
Everyone's reaction was unexpected, and it made Luo Zhongxu and the others even more annoyed. They were so angry that they were about to explode.
"Good, very good. I hope that you can still be so unyielding after leaving the cave." Luo Zhongxu pointed his finger, and his voice was full of anger. "Junior Sister Xu, you have one last chance to choose."
"I won't say the same thing a third time." A look of disgust flashed across Xu Qingya's face.
"Okay." Luo Zhongxu nodded and led the group away. They walked towards a new turn. In fact, what they said before was just a threat. They did not dare to alarm the Sinners here. Who knew if they would provoke a Silver-ranked Sinner?
