Chapter 1741 - 1743: Chaos
The slaves were stunned, Sao Bao was stunned, and Mei Tingluan was even more stunned.
He looked incredulously at the two slaves who had exploded.
He was very sure that it was definitely the damage from the collar exploding.
But why?!
He clearly hadn’t ordered an assassin on those two people!
What on earth happened?!
Mei Tingluan was in a daze, but Sao Bao, who had been stunned for a while, had already gritted his teeth!
Sao Bao, at this moment, transformed from a state of shock to one boiling with murderous intent!
However, his target was not Lu Xiaobu. To be precise, he concealed his murderous intent towards Lu Xiaobu.
Because if what he suspected was true, and Yiji Mansion really knew everything, wanting to use slaves to slaughter those few under his command at the Nascent Soul Stage.
As for why those two slaves exploded, he only thought that Mei Tingluan did it just to make the slaves react quickly and change their murder target.
After all, slaves with bloodlust are difficult to command, but as long as the explosion sounds, the killing intent in their minds would cease instantly.
Yiji Mansion had used this tactic more than once or twice, and he was quite accustomed to it!
However, in this case...
His only choice was to kill Mei Tingluan and slaughter all the slaves here.
Thus, even if Lu Xiaobu and Yiji Mansion reached an agreement, with Mei Tingluan dead, they wouldn’t be anything but enemies.
And he and Lu Xiaobu would essentially be on the same side, cooperating whether they liked it or not!
The seed had just been planted, and he would pay any price to survive!
So he squeezed out a sentence from between the teeth he almost crushed: "Old Qin, make your move, kill Mei Tingluan, and kill as many of those slaves as possible!"
He was calling to that old man at the Out-of-Body Stage.
The old man at the Out-of-Body Stage raised an eyebrow, wondering why this guy was so capricious, as the target he was supposed to kill had changed again.
However, he didn’t care: "Alright, but remember our agreement!"
"Of course, after Old Qin takes action this time, all differences between us will be settled, and we’ll owe each other nothing!" Sao Bao said through gritted teeth.
An Out-of-Body Stage favor, indeed, he originally planned to do more with it.
But now, it was wasted on something like this.
Old Qin nodded, and then his whole body rose into the air, rushing to kill Mei Tingluan!
Mei Tingluan was still in a stupefied state when suddenly he heard the whooshing sound beside his ear!
"Boom!"
Soon after, his entire body was flung away!
However, he wasn’t injured.
When he dazedly looked at where he had just been, he found that two people were already engaged in battle!
One of them was the Sixth Elder of their Yiji Mansion, who had been secretly assigned to protect him!
Originally, the Sixth Elder didn’t plan to make a move, but now that he did, it meant...
Mei Tingluan gritted his teeth and looked at Sao Bao: "What do you mean, local bully?!"
In this society where the Nascent Soul Stage is dominant, and the Golden Core Stage is the main strength, an Out-of-Body Stage battle is almost a fight to the death.
Especially when the Out-of-Body Stage strikes against a junior like him!
Imagine if there were no restraints, then wouldn’t whoever had the higher cultivation run rampant without regard?
This island would soon be engulfed in chaos!
Hearing Mei Tingluan’s questioning, Sao Bao glanced at him but didn’t respond.
At this moment, he couldn’t afford to investigate truth from falsehood. Whether true or false, having paid such a heavy price, he had to see it through!
Kill Mei Tingluan, break with Yiji Mansion, then find a place to hide his identity, wait for his clansmen to arrive, and rise again.
After all, most of his wealth had already been transferred away over the years!
However, despite making the decision, he couldn’t help but have doubts in his heart—was it that Mei Tingluan was really shrewd, or did he really not know, and was someone else, perhaps that Out-of-Body Stage figure, orchestrating?
He did not doubt that Lu Xiaobu could interact with the Out-of-Body Stage, after all, Xin Lifeng was also at the Out-of-Body Stage!
The battle between the parties was on the verge of erupting.
However, it left Lu Xiaobu’s side somewhat unattended.
Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and watched the scene, quickly understanding Sao Bao’s intention, and couldn’t help but laugh in silence.
Alright, he was being clever again.
But, since that’s the case, then let’s go with the flow!
"Slaves, kill all the people of the black market." This time Lu Xiaobu did not shout but spoke telepathically: "Kill them all, and you’ll gain freedom; fail, and you will all die!"
Saying this, Lu Xiaobu casually tapped two more times.
Instantly, the two slaves he pointed at...
"Boom!"
Exploded again!
Silence, again, silence!
And three seconds later...
"Kill!"
The roar came from the slaves’ mouths!
They were slaves, not loyal servants; for them, who their master is doesn’t matter, nor does right or wrong. The only thing that mattered was who could control their life and death!
Since this person controlled their life and death,
Then they would listen to this person!
Suddenly!
The Nascent Soul Stage members that Sao Bao had sent into the slaves were immediately besieged!
Even though they were furious and struck continuously, causing a river of blood among the Golden Core Stage slaves, those Nascent Soul Stage slaves hidden among the Golden Core Stage clandestinely attacked continuously, resulting in increasing wounds on their bodies!
Instantly, the entire scene was in utter chaos.
And when Sao Bao saw that the slaves indeed attacked his Nascent Soul Stage, he was even more enraged: "Mei Tingluan! Yiji Mansion! We are irreconcilable!"
While snarling, he shouted to his remaining subordinates: "Follow me, let’s kill Mei Tingluan!"
Upon hearing the orders, all those subordinates immediately showed ferocity and charged at Mei Tingluan!
Sao Bao followed closely, ready to strike at any moment.
He knew that simply trying to escape now wasn’t feasible.
The only way to break the deadlock was to kill Mei Tingluan and seize control of the slaves.
In this way, he would control the situation here.
Moreover, possessing the method to unlock the collars, he could also use these slaves as the foundation of his resurgence!
Therefore, Mei Tingluan must die!
Mei Tingluan was also furious, swearing: "Local bully, I’ll tear you to pieces!"
Then he commanded the slaves that were protecting him to charge!
Up till now, he still didn’t know why Sao Bao attacked him, still thinking it was to protect Lu Xiaobu!
But that didn’t matter now; since the opponent wanted to kill him, let’s see whose means were more brutal!
Thus, the entire scene became even more chaotic.
Meanwhile, their initial target, Lu Xiaobu, was leisurely cracking sunflower seeds, watching the show.
Quite interesting.
