"Xu Zhentian, how dare you show yourself." Wan Bugui said coldly.
"Humph."
Xu Zhentian glanced at Wan Bugui before turning to Tianfeng. "Tianfeng, there's still one more day before the Black Scale Cave opens. Have you thought about who will enter?"
Tian Feng frowned and said, "The Black Scale Cave is filled with dangers. How can I let my disciples die for nothing? If you guys want to go, then go. I won't choose anyone to go."
"Selfish, you're selfish!"
Xu Zhentian's expression froze. He glanced at the newcomers and said, "Tianfeng, you and I both know that the Black Scale Cave is full of opportunities in addition to danger. The reason why we can achieve what we have today is because we went down there in the past. But now you're trying to scare your disciples into not going. How selfish of you."
"What? The dean went down there too?"
"Could it be true?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Tianfeng.
Tian Feng did not say a word, obviously tacitly agreeing to this point.
"As expected. Looks like there are indeed treasures below."
"This is an opportunity. We can't give up."
"That's right. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, if we give up because of fear, we will be mediocre for the rest of our lives."
Almost all the people who came here had a net worth of more than 2.5 million. Naturally, they were not mediocre people. They all understood that once they missed this opportunity, they might never come across it again.
"He's right. There are indeed opportunities down there. However, those with a net worth of less than three million should stay in the city," said Tian Feng with a sigh.
"Net worth within three million …"
Many people couldn't help but reveal a look of struggle.
"I, Invincible Jin, am willing to give it a try." Invincible Jin was the first to step forward.
"I won't miss such a good thing." Surprisingly, Yue Siqin was the one who stood up right after the Jin brothers.
"Haha … good. Although I, Xu Zhentian, am no longer a citizen of the county, the county is still my home. I hope that all of you can become stronger. Anyone who wants to go can stay and wait for the opening of the Black Scale Cave tomorrow." Xu Zhentian said with a righteous smile.
Zhou Yang frowned. Of course, he did not believe that Xu Zhen was really thinking for the sake of the County City's cultivators. This must be another conspiracy.
Furthermore, that mysterious His Honor has yet to appear.
After a while, the mass grave became quiet. During this time, some of the ruthless people had left, but most of the people stayed behind.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Zhou Yang asked Yue Siqin.
"Of course I'm going, and I've also formed an alliance with the Jin brothers."
Zhou Yang nodded. At this time, the people from the Xu and Ye families arrived under the leadership of Xu Cangshan and Ye Taishan. After saying something to the Third Prince, the Third Prince brought Ye Zhining to the county capital.
However, Zhou Xianxian and Xu Pengfei stayed.
"Zhou Yang, long time no see."
A graceful voice came from behind. Zhou Yang turned around and saw that it was Lady Nine.
"It's you, you can't be …" Zhou Yang frowned.
"That's right, I will go down as well."
Lady Jiu's words startled the people in the surroundings.
Lady Jiu, who had never been very enthusiastic about martial arts, actually wanted to go down.
"I've been stuck at the Mercury Realm for a long time. If I continue to cultivate like this, I may not be able to break through in this lifetime." Lady Jiu sighed. There was a look in her eyes that had never been seen before.
Zhou Yang nodded. In the world of martial arts, no one wanted to succeed in their cultivation. Even Lady Jiu, who seemed to be not enthusiastic about martial arts, was only doing this because she had no other choice. If there was a chance, she would try even if it meant risking her life.
However, after Lady Jiu arrived, Luo Pofeng, Helan Mountain, and the other Castellans of the four major cities also arrived. Soon, the mass grave was divided into five groups.
On one side was the Xu and Ye families led by Zhou Xianxian and the others. On the other side was Zhou Yang. The other three sides were Xu Zhentian and the other demons, the Castellan families of the four major cities, and the individual cultivators of the county capital.
Zhou Yang estimated that after entering the Black Scale Cave, the individual cultivators would join the other four sides.
The Xu and Ye families' alliance and the four major cities' alliance were all very strong, especially the Castellans of the four major cities, who were all Jupiter Realm experts. On his side, because of the Third Prince, Pang Feibao and the others had returned to the border and could not enter the Black Scale Cave with him.
The situation was not optimistic.
Fortunately, everyone was going to the Black Scale Cave for the treasures. This also meant that he would not be attacked by everyone like in the county capital. Under the balance of the various forces, he still had a chance.
Night fell quietly. Zhou Yang estimated that he would have to wait until the next morning, so he returned to the General's Mansion alone to see Cheng Qiaoqing.
The outcome of this trip to the Black Scale Cave was unpredictable. He had to make arrangements for Cheng Qiaoqing and the others.
But obviously, he was thinking too much. Cheng Qiaoqing had already returned to the Institute of Martial Arts under Tianfeng's arrangement. At the same time, she was also invited to join the Lin family by Lin Wanqing.
"Young Master, don't worry. Little Feng and I will be fine. Maybe we can't meet again in the Tiangang Sword Sect, but I think we will definitely meet again in the imperial city," Cheng Qiaoqing said with a smile.
Zhou Yang nodded. Cheng Qiaoqing might not be the most talented in martial arts, but she was very talented in business and family management. It was not impossible for her to enter the imperial city with her own ability.
The two didn't talk much. Cheng Qiaoqing said a few words and left happily. But Zhou Yang was very clear that Cheng Qiaoqing had feelings for him, but she didn't say it out.
He was not a heartless person, but there was no absolute power in this world. Showing affection would only bring danger to others.
After leaving the General's Mansion, he went to the Institute of Martial Arts and returned to the Lonely Peak.
The Lonely Peak was still lonely.
"Are you saying goodbye?"
An indifferent voice came from the Lonely Peak. Zhou Yang smiled. He knew who it was without looking.
"Aren't you saying goodbye too?"
"I don't belong here. Why would I say goodbye?" Yan Qingcheng shook her head.
"The imperial city must be very lively." Zhou Yang stood up with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Lively …" Yan Qingcheng frowned. "This is the first time I heard someone describe the imperial city like this. You are right. The imperial city is very lively, but it is also very cold."
"Is it like you? Beautiful but very cold. One can only look at it from afar but not touch it." Zhou Yang smiled.
"What are you talking about?"
Yan Qingcheng's complexion turned cold. This sentence sounded like he was flirting with her.
"My father told me that a man should drink the strongest wine, kill the fiercest people, and embrace the most beautiful women. I am looking forward to seeing you again in the imperial city." Zhou Yang's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.
The imperial city's coldness was just like Yan Qingcheng. Only the strongest person could conquer it.
"Zhou Yang, don't think that you can be frivolous in front of me just because you defeated Xu Pengfei. I am not Xu Pengfei, and I don't have as many scruples as the third prince. If you anger me, I can kill you right now." Yan Qingcheng said coldly.
"You made a move on me last time, but I am still alive and well."
Last time …
Yan Qingcheng clenched her teeth. She would never forget that this man had seen her body at such a close distance.
