"But Brother Xu, you also don't understand Patriarch Cheng. How can you be sure that Patriarch Cheng is the kind of person you said he is?" Tao Wensheng asked.
"I indeed don't understand Cheng Yu. But you have to understand one thing. Don't have the heart to harm others.
It's because we don't understand Cheng Yu. That's why we have to be more careful. I'm saying what if he's not the kind of person you think he is.
At that time, after we take the initiative to apologize to him, he still wants to kill us. What should we do? Do you think we still have the chance to escape at that time? "Xu Shouwang explained to everyone.
"This …" Everyone went silent.
It had to be said that what Xu Shouwang said was reasonable.
Although Cheng Yu's reputation in the Cheng Family was not bad, they didn't understand Cheng Yu's true character.
Furthermore, what Xu Shouwang said was just a hypothesis. If Cheng Yu really turned against them, they really couldn't do anything about it.
"In any case, I've already thought it through. If you have a better idea, I can support you.
If you don't have a better idea, then I will either forcefully break the formation or apologize to Patriarch Cheng. I can't just sit here and wait for the Cheng Family to come and catch me.
Even if I die, I have to take the initiative and not become someone else's meat. "Tao Wensheng saw that Xu Shouwang had repeatedly stopped everyone from leaving. His heart was already burning with anger.
If he wasn't afraid of Xu Shouwang and Yin Tianzong's strength, he would have fought with them long ago.
Now, Xu Shouwang and the rest had no way to bring everyone out, but they were still opposing the idea they had thought of.
He didn't blame them for bringing everyone in and putting everyone in danger was already very benevolent. What right did he have to keep stopping everyone from obtaining freedom?
The group of people didn't speak immediately. Although it was night time, everyone could feel the tension in the air. It was as if they were ready to fight.
To be honest, everyone was here for the benefits. However, Xu Shouwang and the rest weren't able to bring them the promised benefits.
Therefore, everyone was already regretting in their hearts. It was only because of Xu Shouwang and the rest's strength.
Now that they heard Tao Wensheng say this, although they didn't express their stance, their hearts were biased towards him.
Everyone believed that if they took the initiative to apologize to Cheng Yu, the result would be better.
"Does anyone else agree with Brother Tao?" Xu Shouwang asked the others with a gloomy face.
It was obvious that Xu Shouwang's simple words were filled with a threatening intent.
Everyone wanted to say something, but no one dared to stand on Tao Wensheng's side.
"All of you need to think this through. If Brother Xu could really bring all of you out safely, he would have done so long ago. But now, he is repeatedly stopping us from leaving, and even using such words to threaten us. Do you really want to die with him here? "
Tao Wensheng was also sweating profusely. He knew that he was no match for Xu Shouwang and the others.
Therefore, he hoped that his words would wake the others up and stop being afraid of Xu Shouwang.
As long as everyone stood together, they believed that Xu Shouwang and the others would not dare to do anything to them.
At the very least, it was impossible for them to kill so many people in such a short period of time. As long as they were unable to kill everyone in a short period of time, they should be able to attract the attention of the Cheng Family.
"Brother Xu, I feel that Brother Tao's suggestion isn't wrong. Now that things have come to this, you don't have any better ideas.
Although this might be very risky, from the moment we chose to enter this pagoda, weren't we taking a huge risk?
If it wasn't so, we wouldn't be trapped here! "Li Yun stood out and said.
Obviously, his words had already expressed his attitude. He was more inclined towards Tao Wensheng.
Truthfully speaking, he also didn't wish to follow Xu Shouwang and wait here. He hoped that everyone would support Tao Wensheng's suggestion and attempt to take the initiative to admit their mistakes to Cheng Yu. This way, everyone might be able to obtain a path of survival.
Otherwise, when the Cheng Family came looking for them, they would be in a passive position. Even if they were to admit their mistakes, it would be very difficult for them to display their sincerity.
"I don't wish to put my life in the hands of others. You must know that once you choose to admit your mistakes, you will no longer have a path of retreat.
If Cheng Yu wants you to live, you can live. But if he wants you to die, you won't even have the chance to escape.
Now, I might not have any better ideas, but can you be sure that we will be trapped here forever and even die here?
Therefore, you must take a long-term view. A temporary predicament isn't considered a predicament.
If the Cheng Family really wanted to capture us, they would have captured us when we entered. Since they didn't make a move now, they might have to wait until the end of the competition.
But now, there's still at least two months before the end of the competition.
How can you be sure that we won't be able to think of a better idea in such a long period of time?
Furthermore, this formation is so strong now, but if we were to exhaust it every day, it might very quickly weaken.
When the time comes, we might be able to break the formation easily. Why must we throw away our lives now? " Xu Shouwang also knew that everyone didn't trust him, but he couldn't compromise with these people because this was his bottom line.
More importantly, what he said was also from the bottom of his heart.
Once everyone was in Cheng Yu's hands, who could guarantee that Cheng Yu would definitely let them live?
In any case, the Cheng Family didn't say that they wanted to kill them, so why should they be in a hurry to surrender to the Cheng Family?
As expected, Xu Shouwang's words were very bewitching, causing them to carefully reflect on his words. Everyone also felt that Xu Shouwang's method might be a bit safer.
Because what he said was the truth. Once they admitted their mistakes to the Cheng Family, then their life and death would be decided by Cheng Yu.
Be it life or death, it was all Cheng Yu's words.
But now, they still had time. This meant that in the following period of time, there might be more variables appearing. At least, they didn't need Cheng Yu to judge their life and death for them.
If there was really a way, no one would be in such a hurry to die.
"I can understand everyone's mentality. Actually, admitting our mistakes to Cheng Yu is not impossible. It's just that we haven't reached that stage yet.
If we really don't have enough time to save ourselves, it won't be too late for us to take the initiative to admit our mistakes. What do you think? " Seeing that everyone seemed to be moved by him, Xu Shouwang's heart relaxed. Following that, he gave everyone a reassuring pill.
"What Brother Xu said is very reasonable. I also hope that everyone can calm down. There is still so much time before the end of the competition. Even if the Cheng Family won't wait until the end of the competition, it seems that the Cheng Family won't immediately deal with us.
Therefore, we still have time to resolve this formation. If we all work together, we will be able to weaken this formation to the extent that we can handle in a few days. Then, wouldn't we only need to wait for a few more days?
Brother Tao, don't you think so? "Yin Tianzong also opened his mouth to speak.
"Since that's the case, then I will believe you once again. At most, I will wait for a few more days!" When Tao Wensheng heard the two of them say this, he was no longer as impatient.
However, he was very clear in his heart that the moment he said those words, his fate with these people could be considered to have come to an end.
He didn't regret his impulsive actions just now. He only regretted that he was too greedy.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to befriend these people so that he could complete his mission in the Cheng Family in the future, he wouldn't have come to this step.
Now, not only did he not fulfill his wish, he had also offended these people.
However, he had now thought it through. He hadn't relied on others for all these years, and he had also obtained so many contributions. He even relied on his own ability to obtain the Cheng Family's invitation letter.
Although his ranking was relatively low, it was still obtained by his own strength.
When he thought of this, he regretted even more.
Even the Cheng Family had acknowledged him. Why was he still greedy to befriend these people?
Now that he was trapped here, he didn't know what he would face next. If the Cheng Family really discovered them, would they still have a way out?
He didn't know. However, Xu Shouwang and Yin Tianzong's words made some sense. If there was another way, he wouldn't be in a hurry to apologize to Cheng Yu.
If there wasn't enough time for them to continue waiting, then there should be enough time to apologize to Cheng Yu.
"Since everyone has agreed to this method, then let me rest for a night. Let's discuss how we can weaken this formation, "Xu Shouwang said.
Just now, the rebound of the formation had caused a certain amount of internal injuries. Although it wasn't serious, he didn't want to leave behind any hidden dangers. Therefore, it was better for him to spend some time to recover from this injury first.
Everyone nodded. They understood Xu Shouwang's situation and no longer disturbed his recovery. All of them quietly waited at the side.
However, they had different thoughts in their hearts. Some were still worried about their own situation, while some were considering Xu Shouwang's suggestion, how to weaken this formation.
After all, a formation that could easily injure a powerful person like Xu Shouwang was enough to prove that it wasn't simple.
Therefore, if they wanted to weaken such a powerful formation, it would be a very difficult thing to do.
