Chapter 573: We Want to Be Friends With You!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Wicked Trio, you didn’t keep your word! You promised before that as long as we hand over all the divine treasures, you won’t harm our lives! Now, you’re going back on your word? You three bastards, can you be even more wicked?”
Seeing Luo Sansheng’s murderous look, Wu Yuanjun couldn’t hold back the anger and hatred in his heart anymore and roared.
His expression was extremely ferocious. He looked like he wanted nothing more than to skin Lin Wudao and the other two alive.
The Mad Daoist didn’t care at all.
“We did say that we wouldn’t harm your lives, and in fact, we really aren’t going to do anything. Right now, the ones who want your lives are the Lishan divine race. We’re just doing things for money. We have no right to interfere with how they want to deal with you.”
He spread his hands and replied.
“You…!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly furious.
If looks could kill, Lin Wudao and the others would have been cut into pieces long ago.
“Aren’t you guys just trying to extort treasures? As long as you are willing to let us go, we will definitely give you the treasures you need when we return to our divine races. How about it?” Beigong Tang said solemnly.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Lin Wudao exchanged glances and shook their heads.
“No. We have principles when we do things. Now, you will be dealt with by the
Lishan divine race. We will not interfere.”
The Mad Daoist was calm.
The treasures of the nine great divine races were indeed attractive, but that was not what the Wicked Trio wanted.
Therefore, the Mad Daoist didn’t agree.
“You bastards, I curse you to die a horrible death!”
Seeing that Lin Wudao and the other two were indifferent, Beigong Tang could no longer endure the anger in his heart and started cursing.
The others also looked at them with hatred.
However, the Mad Daoist, Lin Wudao, and Qin Daofu simply ignored their hatred and chose to watch from the sidelines.
At the same time, Luo Sansheng seized the opportunity to pick up the saber on the ground and rushed into the crowd.
“God-betraying people, all of you should die!”
“Ah!”
Along with a series of shrill screams, Luo Sansheng’s blade fell, and one by one, the people were mercilessly killed.
Meanwhile, the Mad Daoist secretly took out the Human World Divine Screen and recorded all the scenes of Luo Sansheng slaughtering the members of the nine great divine races.
Seeing his actions, Lin Wudao immediately understood his plan.
“Mad Daoist, you want to harm the Lishan divine race again?”
“Hehe… We can’t waste such a good opportunity. The Lishan divine race is a great divine race. If news of them having massacred the members of the nine great divine races was to spread, it would most certainly offend the interests of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom, the Motian divine race, and the Beidou divine race. At that time, a great war might break out between the great divine races. Since there’s an advantage to take, won’t 1 be a bastard for not taking it? Either way, only they’ll be in trouble.”
The Mad Daoist sent a cunning voice transmission.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao could not help but give him a thumbs up.
When it came to schemes and plots, the Mad Daoist was definitely the best among them.
“But the Saints of the Motian divine race and the Beidou divine race have extraordinary statuses. We can’t let Luo Sansheng kill those two. If we keep them alive, we can get more from the Motian divine race and the Beidou divine race.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Ren. I’ve already planned it out,” The Mad Daoist replied with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, he separated Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin from the crowd.
“What do you mean?”
Luo Sansheng, who had already killed all members of the nine divine races, frowned when he saw the Mad Daoist’s actions.
In his mind, Saints Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin could not be let off either.
This was the best chance to kill them.
However, it seemed that the Wicked Trio was planning to change their minds again.
This made Luo Sansheng very displeased.
“We only promised you to help suppress the people of the nine great divine races, but that doesn’t include the Motian divine race and the Beidou divine race. If you want to kill them, you have to pay more.”
What? Pay more?
Luo Sansheng’s face darkened when he heard the Mad Daoist’s shameless request.
Where would he find the money now?
ii
In that case, forget it. This time, I was able to kill these traitors from the nine great divine races. It can be considered as claiming some interest in the Great God’s stead. We’ll settle the rest in the future.”
In the end, Luo Sansheng could only clench his fists and sigh helplessly.
The Mad Daoist’s expression was calm and he did not respond.
“We have completed the task you entrusted us with. If there is nothing else, all of you can leave.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mad Daoist waved his hand and opened the passage that led out of the Golden Divine Tomb.
Seeing this, although Luo Sansheng was suspicious of the Mad Daoist’s motives, he did not hesitate. When the Golden Divine Tomb reopened, he immediately left with Luo Qingchen and Luo Bingyan.
Buzz!
After they left, the Mad Daoist pulled Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin to him.
“Thank you for not killing me! After 1 return to the divine race, I will repay you a hundredfold.”
Gong Wuque bowed first. He lowered his posture and acted very respectfully.
“I’m also willing to repay the three of you a hundredfold for not killing me!”
After Gong Wuque, Nie Tianxin quickly said.
“Hehe… Saints, we are very happy that you are so sensible. To be honest, we are very principled when we do things. We only take what we should and we won’t take a single cent that we shouldn’t. Both of you are elites of the Motian divine race and the Beidou divine race respectively. It would be a pity if you die here. Therefore, the three of us would like to make friends with the two Saints.
Perhaps, there will be many chances for us to work together in the future,” The Mad Daoist said with a faint smile.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. To be able to make friends with the three of you is a blessing we must have waited for with a few lifetimes. When I return to the divine race, 1 will certainly report to the old ancestor and take out three Sage treasures to express my gratitude,” Gong Wuque hurriedly expressed his stance. His face was filled with surprise and gratitude.
“I am also willing to take out three Sage treasures to thank the three of you for your kindness!”
Nie Tianxin followed closely behind.
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled in admiration.
“Alright, we’re all friends. Just be casual. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours.”
“Uh, yes… Yes, yes!”
Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin smiled awkwardly. They did not dare to disobey or refute at all.
After all, their lives were in the hands of Wicked Trio.
“Alright, the treasures of the Lishan Divine Kingdom have already been dug out. You should also leave this place. Let us brothers send you on your way.”
“Umm… Thank you.”
Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin were flattered. They couldn’t guess the intentions of the Mad Daoist.
The Mad Daoist and the other two couldn’t care less about their reactions.
Boom!
With that, Lin Wudao waved his hand and teleported them to the Lishan Divine Kingdom.
Then, Gong Wuque and Nie Tianxin left the Mountain Mausoleum Area as quickly as they could after crossing the Divine Kingdom’s gates.
They headed straight for their respective divine races.
Unlike them, Luo Sansheng and the others of the Lishan divine race were heading back to the Endless Abyss.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao pondered for a while before using the power of the system to bring them to the broken bridge where he had fought Nie Qingkuang.
“How did you come to the Endless Abyss?”
The Endless Abyss?
Luo Sansheng was surprised.
“Are you talking about this spatial rift?”
“Yes.”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“Well… We were guided by the Southern Desolate Land’s’ Divine Secrets Pavilion to set up a teleportation array outside this spatial rift. We found this place after passing through the teleportation array,” Luo Sansheng answered honestly.
“Then what is behind this spatial rift?”
“It’s the South Heaven Divine Continent’s Heaven Desolates Region. There are five continents in the Divine Continent, namely the East Heaven Divine Continent, the South Heaven Divine Continent, the West Heaven Divine Continent, the North Heaven Divine Continent, and the Central Divine Continent. The South Heaven Divine Continent is further divided into nine regions…”
Luo Sansheng told them everything he knew.
Through his explanation, Lin Wudao and the other two had a rough idea of the Divine Continent’s geography.
In short, the Divine Continent was extremely vast.
Even the Heaven Desolates Region under the South Heaven Divine Continent was thousands of times larger than the entire 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation added up.
Each Divine Continent covered a vast area and contained many ancient and powerful sects, Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and great races. There, Sages could barely be considered powerhouses. Above Sages, there were Sage Kings, Ancient Sages, Great Sages, Quasi-Emperors, and so on.
Lin Wudao and the others were especially fascinated by the ancient and powerful ancient aristocratic families, imperial races, and Great Emperor orthodoxies.
“You guys can leave. If fate allows it, we might meet again in the future.”
The Mad Daoist waved his hand.
Hearing this, Luo Sansheng did not hesitate. He immediately led Luo Qingchen and Luo Bingyan to the back of the broken bridge.
Immediately after, they left the Endless Abyss through an ancient teleportation array.
As he watched them leave, Lin Wudao cast his gaze toward the magnificent world behind the spatial rift..
