Chapter 2047 - 2047 Sharp-Edged Halberd

2047 Sharp-Edged Halberd

Hearing that her ancestor’s voice was full of energy and that he seemed to be safe and sound, Chu Liuyue felt a little more at ease. Judging from their words, they must’ve encountered trouble and suffered many casualties.

“Hmph, Senior Shangguan makes it sound so easy! We’ve already been here for such a long time. It can be said that we’ve used all kinds of methods! However, this Tang Ke’s tomb doesn’t show any signs of opening at all! What should we do?”

An impatient man’s voice sounded with a hint of sarcasm. “As a senior, you were already all-powerful back then. Now that a thousand years have pa.s.sed, I believe your strength has improved again! Why don’t you think of a way? I believe Senior Shangguan will definitely not disappoint us!”

Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned cold. This was a hint of coercion. But from the looks of it, Tang Ke’s tomb seems to be nearby?

Shangguan Jing laughed and said unhurriedly, “Everyone, you’ve really overestimated me. I only barely managed to survive. How can an old bag of bones compare to all of you in your magnificent prime?”

That person continued to be aggressive. “Senior Shangguan, why do you have to be so humble? Who doesn’t know that you fought the nine dragons alone back then and still didn’t lose!? Moreover, your junior, Shangguan Yue, is now the master of Peach Blossom Dock. To be able to cultivate in a place like Peach Blossom Dock, Senior Shangguan should be much stronger than us, right? Since you came here today, you haven’t even tried to attack once. Could it be… that since you have Peach Blossom Dock, you don’t even care about Tang Ke’s tomb now?”

These words were really attracting hatred.

How many people in the entire G.o.d Residence Realm coveted Peach Blossom Dock?

Now that Peach Blossom Dock had fallen into Chu Liuyue’s hands… Even though everyone didn’t dare to have any designs on Peach Blossom Dock because of Yi Wentao’s miserable ending, it was inevitable for them to be envious and jealous.

Usually, it would be fine if he didn’t say it. But now that he mentioned it, it really hit a sore spot for many people.

Shangguan Jing glanced at the person who spoke with a smile. “What are you talking about? If I wasn’t interested in Tang Ke’s tomb, why would I spend so much effort to come here today? The reason why I didn’t make a move… is that I’m afraid of death. It’s not that complicated!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately quietened down and became hungry.

The scene fell into a strange silence.

Although everyone understood this logic, with Shangguan Jing’s status, he actually said it directly without hiding anything?

Doesn’t he feel ashamed?

His words were so straightforward that they made it difficult for others to reply.

He had already admitted that he was afraid to death! If they continued to ask, wouldn’t they be clearly forcing him to die?!

Not many people had the nerve to do this.

Shangguan Jing ignored the gazes of the people around him. He stroked his beard and sighed. “Sigh, everyone, you might not know this! Although I barely managed to keep my life back then, my Holy Body was unconscious, and my soul was scattered. If not for my Yue’er’s help, I really wouldn’t have woken up again! How could I still be here chatting and laughing with everyone? Therefore, I cherish my life very much now!”

Everyone was speechless. At this point, what else could others say!?

He had already died once. If he didn’t want to lose his life again, he didn’t have any responsibility.

After a while, the provocative man sneered and said indifferently, “In that case, I’m afraid you don’t have any fate with the treasures and inheritance left behind by Senior Tang Ke!”

Shangguan Jing was still smiling. “It’s fine! It’s fine! I’m here today to join in the fun! Speaking of which, the new generation will surpa.s.s the old. Since everyone is so powerful, you will definitely be able to successfully open Tang Ke’s tomb! At that time, I’ll be satisfied if I can witness it with my own eyes!”

His words made the other party lose his temper. Just to join in the fun? Who would believe that!? Anyone who comes here is ambitious!

However, Shangguan Jing was a sly old fox. Facing these, he didn’t respond at all!

Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly as he glanced at Chu Liuyue. “Your temper is really like Senior Shangguan’s…”

Chu Liuyue rubbed her nose and lightly harrumphed, but the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up. “Of course!”

Sometimes, one had to be thick-skinned! One’s mind had to be alive!

One would rather cheat others than be cheated by others!

Wei Ze looked around and finally came out to be the peacemaker. “Senior Shangguan’s words make a lot of sense. The most important thing now is to think of a way to open Tang Ke’s tomb. It’s not a good idea to keep wasting time here. Since the seniors can’t leave, then… If we join forces now, we might have a chance of survival!”

As soon as he said this, everyone quickly agreed.

“Family Head, this Messy Stone Forest is the Wei family’s territory after all. Don’t you have any solutions?” someone asked.

Wei Ze wanted to say something but hesitated.

This pause immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“This… actually can’t be considered a proper method. It’s just a guess.” As he spoke, he pointed at the blood-red boulder. “Senior Tang Ke was the top Armory Refinement Master in the world. If we rashly try to enter his catacomb, it will definitely be very difficult to succeed. In my opinion, the best way to open the tomb of an Armory Refinement Master is probably… using lightning to guide it. There might be a glimmer of hope!”

“Lightning?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they fell into deep thought. Thinking about it carefully, Wei Ze’s words seem… reasonable.

“Since there’s no other way for the time being, I might as well give it a try!” Someone quickly made up his mind.

Then, the remaining people agreed one after another.

Wei Ze cupped fists with both hands. “In that case, I’ll give it a try first. What do you think?”

No one objected.

If this method could open that door, then Wei Ze would be the first person to enter Tang Ke’s tomb.

There was no need to mention the benefits. This was also the main reason why those people had tried one after another.

With benefits in front of them, they couldn’t help but be tempted. But after experiencing a series of blows, everyone realized that it was extremely dangerous to take the lead.

Moreover, they would basically die, and their souls would be destroyed. They wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel afraid. No matter how tempting the temptation ahead was, they had to be alive to enjoy it, right?

Wei Ze was the patriarch of the Wei family. It was undoubtedly the most suitable time for him to open his mouth.

“Family Head, please…”

Wei Ze nodded and walked to the blood-red boulder.

He was three steps away from the bronze door knocker. His expression was solemn as he frowned.

It was impossible for him not to be nervous, but he had his own plans.

A halberd appeared in his hand! Its entire body was blackish-green and extremely sharp!

When they saw the halberd, everyone’s expressions changed. “Sharp-Edged Halberd!?”

The reason why they were so shocked was that… this was a holy weapon!
