Chapter 713: Chapter 275: Spiritual Artifact, Hand It Over

THUD~!

"Ouch!"

It seemed she had tried to ram the palace door open with her entire body, but she failed, letting out a pained cry instead.

"Hahaha, aren’t you lot quite the runners?"

A gruff voice echoed from afar. "Why’ve you stopped running now?"

"Making me chase you for so long... you all really deserve to die!"

The voice grew closer, as if the speaker was gradually approaching.

"Brothers and sisters, we’re dead either way."

A Cultivator at the door shouted, "In that case, we might as well fight this bastard to the death!"

However, a clear voice from among his companions answered, "Senior Brother is right! Let’s fight him!"

But the woman who had cried out earlier did not respond immediately.

Instead, the gruff voice spoke up. "Tsk tsk tsk. Cultivation isn’t easy for anyone. Why be so quick to throw your lives away?"

"All you beauties, am I right?"

"Your attempt to escape made me very angry, but if you change your minds now, I can still give you a chance to live."

The area suddenly fell silent.

"Third Sister, Fifth Sister, are you really going to believe the lies of these Evil Cultivators?"

A trembling voice demanded, "If living in disgrace means becoming slaves to these Evil Cultivators, I’d rather die a glorious death in battle!"

But the only reply was silence.

Sometimes, not stating one’s position is, in itself, a position.

CREAAAK~!

Suddenly, a grating screech echoed as the two palace doors slowly swung inward.

To everyone’s astonishment, a young man in a white Feather Robe slowly walked out.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over the three men and two women at the palace entrance, and then to the man and two women a little further away. "Huh? What’s going on here?"

His gaze fell upon a bare-chested and exceptionally burly Cultivator in the distance.

The man was holding two chains connected to the wrists of two female Cultivators beside him.

It looked as if he were leading two slaves.

The man was also sizing him up, his eyes filled with surprise and vigilance. "Who are you? How did you open the Central Palace?"

The middle-aged Cultivator nearby froze for a moment. "Xiao?"

He immediately snapped to his senses. "Xiao, save us! They’re Evil Cultivators!"

He pointed at the burly man. "A whole group of them came! They worked together to trick us all into a Trapping Array."

"Several hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators were all brutally killed."

"And now they want to lure the female Cultivators into becoming their Tripod Furnaces!"

Another female Cultivator, who looked a few years younger, also immediately pleaded for help. "Please, Xiao, you have to help us!"

’She had already been hesitating, wondering if she should compromise for now to stay alive and wait for an opportunity.’

’It wasn’t that she lacked the courage to fight to the death. The problem was, they had already clashed with the burly man once before when they were surrounded and had tried to break out together.’

’Fighting to the death was just a nice-sounding phrase.’

’The cruel reality was that even if they all attacked at once, they were no match for the burly man. The only result would be throwing their lives away for nothing.’

’Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been chased all the way here only to start shouting about fighting to the death now.’

’In fact, if it hadn’t been for a life-saving treasure from their sect that allowed them to launch a surprise attack, combined with the fact that the burly man’s group was short-handed, creating an opening, they would probably still be trapped in the array—or would have already been killed.’

’Now they were at the end of their rope. Their life-saving treasures were gone, and it was safe to say they were in a hopeless situation.’

But seeing Xiao Chen appear, she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

’If Xiao was willing to make a move, dealing with this burly man shouldn’t be too hard, right?’

’And if they provided support from the sidelines, maybe, just maybe, they really had a chance to escape with their lives?’
