Chapter 368.1

A Cornered Beast Still Bites (1)

Gong Shenglong’s smile suddenly froze on his face.

Logically, Tang Fei’s request was very reasonable.

But the problem is, isn’t the reason why they met in such an alliance and promoted Chu Qing as the leader of the alliance to reduce their losses? They all know that offering compensation is inevitable, but if they can pay a little less, who would be willing to pay more?

Their original plan was to win over these aristocratic families to gain bargaining chips to be able to sit down and negotiate with the Tiangang Sword Sect and Ziqing Sacred Land.

Since the Tiangang Sword Sect will not eradicate the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect, naturally it will not destroy so many families.

After all, as the dignified leader of the righteous way of Beizhou, the destruction of so many families will inevitably cast a shadow on their reputation.

Therefore, these families are not so much helpers as they are hostages.

Of course, most of these aristocratic families are also very clear about their own positions. Yet they have no choice, because they too don’t want to pay too much.

But now, Tang Fei has brought all of this out in the open, instantly changing the situation.

It is reasonable for Tang Fei to attack the enemy on behalf of Ziqing Sacred Land. Moreover, although there are many aristocratic families present and their status is high, they are still the enemies who attacked first so even if they were all killed, it would be harmless and could shock the enemy instead.

As for Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong…

Until now, the two realized that they might have misjudged the situation…

Yang Hao quickly stood up and said to Tang Fei, “Since brother Tang wants compensation, it is naturally reasonable. As the holy son of the Chongyang Sword Sect, I shall agree to brother Tang’s request on behalf of the Chongyang Sword Sect. But it will take a while to raise money for the compensation. We shall go back to our respective mountains to raise compensation and make sure Brother Tang is satisfied, what do you think?”

It is rare for Yang Hao to speak in such a low voice. However, Tang Fei never cared about Yang Hao even when Tang Fei was still a holy son, and it is even more impossible for him to be tolerant of Yang Hao today.

He just sneered when he heard those words, and said, “Brother Yang’s words sounded quite sincere. It’s just a pity that Brother Yang’s reputation doesn’t seem to be very good. I’m worried that after you return to the mountain, you will suddenly forget about this matter. So I’m sorry, brother Yang, you can’t leave until I get the compensation from the Chongyang Sword Sect.”

He glanced at Gong Shenglong again and added, “Brother Gong is the same.”

The two of them felt like they had a heart attack at the same time, and their worst premonition had been confirmed.

Tang Fei wanted to take the two of them as hostages and demand compensation from the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect.

Yang Hao is fine, he is not only the holy son of the Chongyang Sword Sect, but also the son of the sect master, Yang Shaoling, so Yang Shaoling will naturally not ignore Yang Hao’s safety.

But Gong Shenglong is just the chief disciple of the sect master, even if he dies, someone else would replace him.

He doesn’t think that his sect will sell too much profit for the sake of his own life.

But at this time, what can they do to change this situation?

Just when the two were trying their best to think of a way out, Chu Qing suddenly yelled at Tang Fei, “Tang Fei, don’t be arrogant! There are so many of us here, don’t tell me we should still be afraid of you?”

Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong felt even worse when they heard the words.

Sure enough, Chu Qing yelled at the crowd, “The enemy has come to the door so blatantly, do we still have to let ourselves be slaughtered? Now if you don’t resist, you will die, but there is still a chance of life if you resist.

I order you in the name of the leader of the alliance, everyone will follow me and kill Tang Fei!”

Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong couldn’t help but curse inwardly. When did it become a head-on confrontation with a single Tang Fei? Do they even know how many people are waiting in ambush around them?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, under the influence of Chu Qing’s protagonist halo, many people were really motivated.

Some cultivators who were still capable of fighting gritted their teeth, pulled out their own weapons, and stared at Tang Fei covetously.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of murderous cultivators gathered in the square.

Their eyes were red, and there was a tragic look in their expressions. They are ready to go all out to win a chance to survive for themselves.

“The leader is right, either wait to die or die in battle. I would rather die in battle than do nothing and wait to die!”

“That’s right! Brothers, no matter how many of them there are, we can only fight our way today!”

“Kill Tang Fei! Kill him to avenge the dead!”

“Tang Fei, this day next year will be your death anniversary!”

Facing the pressing approach of hundreds of cultivators, Tang Fei looked indifferent. He glanced at the crowd, and murmured, “Sure enough, it’s the same as what Feng Shao said. These people believe whatever Chu Qing says. But is this kind of person worthy of Heavenly Dao’s favor?”

He couldn’t help but look up at the sky, and asked Heavenly Dao in his heart. Heavenly Dao, ah Heavenly Dao, what on earth do you want to do?
