Chapter 2684
byTo be able to cultivate to the Emperor Senior Stage, none of them were fools. Naturally, they knew how to assess the situation. How could they be willing to get involved in the grudge between Yang Kai and Tan Junhao.
Immediately, someone clasped his fists and said, “Elder Tan, this junior still has important matters to attend to and will take his leave first.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The others looked at each other and also stepped forward one after another to bid farewell. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them scattered and left, and there were still some with slightly wrinkled brows, hesitant.
They seemed to have seen that this trip was either a blessing or a curse, and if it was a curse, it couldn’t be avoided. Tan Junhao called them here for no reason and also arranged the formation in advance. Youdaoplaceholder1 he wouldn’t let them leave easily. At this time, saying goodbye would probably offend Tan Junhao.
For a while, they were extremely frustrated in their hearts feeling that they shouldn’t have come to Liuying City to participate in any auction in the first place. Now, they were inexplicably involved in a mess, and it was a luxury to want to withdraw.
Sure enough, seeing those Emperor Senior Stage experts scattering in all directions, Tan Junhao snorted coldly and said loudly, “Do you all think you can leave？”
Those Emperor Senior Stage experts all stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Tan Junhao. The person who had spoken before furrowed his brows and said, “Elder Tan, what do you mean by this？”
There was a hint of questioning in his words. Even though Tan Junhao was aElder of the Star God Palace, with a lofty status and extraordinary strength, there was no reason for him to restrict the freedom of so many Emperor Senior Stage experts, right？ It was Yang Kai who had a feud with him, not these people. But listening to the meaning in Tan Junhao’s words, it seemed… something was wrong.
Tan Junhao said lightly, “It’s nothing. It’s just that this place has been surrounded by a great formation set up by this old man. Without this old man’s permission, no one can leave.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
The person who had spoken before furrowed his brows and said, “Elder Tan, we respect you as aElder of the Star God Palace, and the Star God Palace is the overlord sect in our Southern Territory, protecting hundreds of millions of martial artists in our Southern Territory. Please give us some guidance. What do we have to do to leave here？”
If it were someone else doing this, the Emperor Senior Realm experts present would probably turn hostile immediately. Being restricted of one’s freedom for no reason, who could tolerate such a thing. But it just so happened that Tan Junhao was different. Leaving aside his powerful cultivation at the Third-Order Emperor Senior Realm, just his status as an elder of the Star God Palace alone. No one dared to act presumptuously in front of him. So even though this person was angry in his heart, he still had to suppress his anger and ask carefully.
“That’s right, Elder Tan, please enlighten us.” Someone immediately cupped his fists and agreed.
Tan Junhao smiled faintly and said, “Want to leave this place. It’s also simple.” He pointed at Yang Kai and said, “Help this old man kill him, and this old man will let you all leave this place.”
The crowd’s eyes widened in an instant, and the bitterness in their mouths was worse than eating a hundred catties of Coptis chinensis…
Yang Kai had committed several murders before, and everyone had seen it with their own eyes. They knew that this youth had extraordinary strength and was extremely difficult to deal with. None of the Emperor Senior Realm experts present had the confidence to survive under his hands.
Now Tan Junhao was asking them to deal with Yang Kai. Wasn’t this pushing them into the fire pit?
This fucking is still an elder of the Star God Palace？ In an instant, the crowd only felt that the tall and majestic signboard of the Star God Palace collapsed in their hearts. They were extremely disappointed with the Star God Palace.
The Star God Palace is the hegemonic sect in the Southern Region. If the elders inside are all so unreasonable and use their power to oppress others, who will still have respect for it?
“Elder Tan… surely you’re joking？ We have no grudges or enmities with this little brother…”
“That’s right, Elder Tan. Please be magnanimous and let us off.”
For a moment, the crowd was excited. However, in the face of Tan Junhao, everyone still restrained their anger and did not dare to be too rude.
Tan Junhao remained unmoved. He said loudly, “This kid is extremely disrespectful to me. Not only did he insult me verbally, but he also injured my disciple and even robbed me of a precious treasure. If you can help me subdue him, I will surely reward you handsomely in the future.”
“There is actually such a thing. Then it is his fault.”
“That’s right. After all, Elder Tan is an elder of the Star God Palace. To dare to insult Elder Tan and rob a precious treasure is really extremely inappropriate.”
“He must apologize. He absolutely must apologize.”
A group of people were making a lot of noise On the surface, they were all in agreement with Tan Junhao, but in fact they didn’t mean anything substantial at all. They were all just playing it safe. No one was a fool. To look for trouble with Yang Kai just because of Tan Junhao’s empty promise was not to seek death?
Yang Kai looked on with a smile. At this moment, he couldn’t help but shout, “Old dog Tan, you’re a senior of the Star God Palace after all, and your strength is two levels higher than mine. Yet you still want to invite many helpers to deal with me. Do you still have any sense of shame? If you have the guts, don’t involve innocent people and come over to fight me one-on-one.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s favorability towards Yang Kai greatly increased, feeling that what he said made sense.
The enmity between you two, why involve us innocent people? This Elder Tan is really very baffling.
Tan Junhao’s expression sank. He glared at Yang Kai and then swept a glance at the crowd, saying Do you really not want to help this old man with this matter?
Everyone’s expressions were awkward, and their gazes flitted about, but no one responded.
It was the person who spoke first who said indignantly, “Elder Tan, don’t force others anymore. In the world, nothing is greater than the principle. The matter between you and this little brother, you can solve it yourself. With Elder Tan’s cultivation, it’s just a piece of cake to capture him. Why do you need us to exert effort?”
This person had a full beard and looked extremely heroic. He was not a deep-minded person. Tan Junhao’s various actions made him extremely dissatisfied. At this moment, he also said a lot of sarcastic remarks.
Tan Junhao coldly looked at him and suddenly pinched a formula with one hand.
The bearded man immediately let out a shrill cry, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. His whole body trembled violently, and a bulge immediately appeared on his neck, swimming rapidly under the skin.
What’s going on！” Everyone was shocked and jumped away from the bearded man, for fear of being affected.”
Brother Liu, Brother Liu！” Some warriors who were familiar with the bearded man shouted loudly.”
But this warrior surnamed Liu seemed to have not heard anything. He continued to let out shrill cries. In a short while, his face turned pale and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Tear…
He suddenly tore open the clothes on his chest, widened a pair of bloodshot eyes, and looked down at his chest. He saw that the small bulge swimming under the skin was actually quickly drilling towards his heart.
What… what is this？
The warrior surnamed Liu forcefully took a breath and stared at Tan Junhao, saying, You… what did you do to me？
Heart-piercing Gu！” Yang Kai’s expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice.”
Tan Junhao’s hand formula remained unchanged, and he said faintly, Those who dare to disobey me will end up like this！” After a pause, he reminded, By the way, never circulate Emperor Yuan, otherwise you will only die faster.”
That’s a bit late. The warrior with the surname Liu had already activated his Emperor Yuan when he sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, as Tan Junhao said, the more he activated his Emperor Yuan, the faster the so-called Heart-Piercing Gu moved. In the blink of an eye, it drilled into his left chest.
The excruciating pain spread throughout his body！
The warrior with the surname Liu let out a roar, his two fingers and suddenly inserted them into his own chest. In an instant, blood spattered. Judging from his appearance it seemed that he wanted to dig out the foreign object in his body.
However, before he could take action, a faint click was heard. His heart vein had been severed, his eyes bulged and his body fell straight to the ground.
“Hiss…” Everyone was shocked and gasped, feeling that their hands and feet were cold.
They had not seen any sign of Tan Junhao making a move before. He just made a hand seal, and the warrior with the surname Liu was already poisoned by the Heart-Piercing Gu. It could be seen that the Heart-Piercing Gu had long been in the warrior with the surname Liu’s body.
The warrior with the surname Liu suffered such a tragic fate. What about themselves？
The answer was soon revealed. Tan Junhao’s hand seal changed again, and his gaze swept across the audience.
More than twenty Emperor Venerable Realms present all groan together. A small bulge emerged under each person’s skin and rushed towards the chest at high speed.
“Elder Tan, you…”
“When？”
Many Emperor Venerable Realms couldn’t believe it. They didn’t even know when they had been poisoned by the Heart-Prompting Gu. Recalling every detail after entering the auction, someone suddenly realized： “That tea…”
Tan Junhao nodded slightly and said, “That’s right. The old man has done something to that tea.”
Yang Kai was also shocked and felt a bit lucky at the same time. Fortunately, he had been on guard before coming here. When drinking tea in the private room, it was Ye Jinghan who took out the tea set and tea leaves and boiled the tea himself. Otherwise, he might have been poisoned by the Heart-Prompting Gu like these people and been at the mercy of Tan Junhao.
Although the Heart-Prompting Gu was impossible to guard against, it made the Emperor Venerable Realms unable to detect any clues. It seemed that Tan Junhao had been cultivating these Heart-Prompting Gus for some years. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have had such great power, nor would there have been so many Gu worms.
The old thing was really insidious and cunning. With his cultivation of the Third Layer of the Emperor Venerable Realm dealing with himself, he actually had to use these tricks.
“Elder Tan, you’re crazy！” Someone looked at Tan Junhao with eyes wide open and furious.
There were as many as twenty or thirty Emperor Venerable Realms present, spread all over the major regions of the Southern Domain. Once today’s matter spread, I’m afraid the Star God Palace would be the first to kill him and clean up the house. How could the Bright Moon Great Emperor tolerate him ruining the reputation of the Star God Palace by using such insidious means to deal with so many Emperor Venerable Realms in the Southern Domain.
But then again, as long as there is the Heart-Piercing Gu in their bodies, who would dare to spread the news of today’s events randomly.
I’m afraid that after today, these people of theirs are doomed to become Tan Junhao’s servants and obey his every order.
Thinking of this, everyone’s hearts were filled with desolation, with resentment and anger, but there was nowhere to vent it.
How could they know that Tan Junhao would stop at nothing to get the things in Yang Kai’s hands. As long as he could obtain the Everlasting Tree, he could completely leave the Star God Palace, find a place to refine it well. Once he achieved an immortal and indestructible body, what could the Bright Moon Great Emperor do to him？
Even if the matter came to light at that time, he wouldn’t be afraid in the slightest.
It was precisely because of having such a plan that Tan Junhao didn’t hesitate to use the Heart-Piercing Gu and even directly killed that bearded man as a warning to others.
Whoever helps this old man kill him, this old man will definitely reward handsomely! Tan Junhao pointed his hand and pointed at Yang Kai, already tearing off his disguise. He didn’t need to worry about anything anymore and immediately gave orders to those Emperor Venerable Realms.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, with bitter expressions on their faces.
