Wu Yuan never considered him a friend.
In Wu Yuan’s eyes, he was just a chess piece, a valuable piece.
When the value of an item exceeds the risk, Wu Yuan will protect it;
When the value of a piece was lower than the risk, Wu Yuan would not hesitate to discard it;
If killing him would bring greater benefits, Wu Yuan would not hesitate to act.
David wasn’t surprised.
He knew from the start that Wu Yuan could not be trusted.
But he still came.
Because he needed Wu Yuan to bring him here, and he needed Wu Yuan to help him find what he was looking for.
Now, he had achieved his goal.
It’s time to finish the calculations.
David opened his eyes, a cold glint flashed through his purple pupils.
He stood up, hung the Dragon Slayer Sword around his waist, straightened his robes, then walked out of the tomb.
His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, every step was steady, as if he was measuring the steps of death.
Outside the tomb, Wu Yuan saw the stone door open and suddenly stood up from the top of the boulder.
His face was filled with smiles as he stepped towards David.
“Mr. Chen! You are finally out!”
His voice sounded full of irrepressible excitement. “What happened inside? What did the man in white say to you? What did you get?”
David stared at Wu Yuan, his purple eyes devoid of any expression.
“I have got the storage ring, and there are still a lot of resources.” His voice was calm.
A glimmer of greed flashed across Wu Yuan’s eyes, but he quickly hid it.
“Amazing! Mr. Chen truly lives up to his reputation as a descendant of the Daoist patriarch!”
Her voice sounded like excessive praise, “Mr Chen, I have something to tell you.”
“How are you?”
Wu Yuan pointed at the Divine Race members not far from him, “The Divine Race just fought with us, and both sides were injured. Now they are all injured and not worth mentioning. If we join forces, we can wipe out these Divine Race people.”
The people of the Divine Race were completely stunned when they heard Wu Yuan’s words.
Yan Huo’s expression immediately changed.
“Wu Yuan! You!”
His voice was filled with anger, “Didn’t you say you wanted to work together? You swore in the name of the Void Merchant Guild that you would work together to deal with David! Now you’re breaking your promise!”
Wu Yuan turned towards Yan Huo, a bitterly cold smile on his lips.
“Vice Palace Master Yan, let’s stick to business matters. I did want to cooperate with you earlier, but the situation has changed.”
His voice was calm, as if he was talking about something trivial. “Mr. Chen has come out of the grave, and he is stronger than before. I feel that cooperating with him is more valuable. So, I chose to cooperate with him.”
“You!”
Yan Huo was trembling with anger, the veins in his hand gripping the spear tightening. “You liar! The reputation of the Void Merchant Guild has been ruined because of people like you!”
Wu Yuan shook his head. “Vice Palace Master Yan, you are wrong. The reputation of the Void Chamber of Commerce is not about breaking promises in transactions, but about always choosing the party that is most beneficial to oneself. Currently, the party that is most beneficial to the Void Chamber of Commerce is Master Chen.”
He paused, his smile becoming more meaningful. “Moreover, I have indeed sworn an oath in the name of the Void Merchant Guild. But the content of my oath is that everything I said above is true. I am telling the truth, without a single lie. As for changing my mind later on, that is another matter and has nothing to do with my oath.”
Yan Huo’s face turned pale.
He realized that he had been tricked by Wu Yuan.
From the start, Wu Yuan had no intention of cooperating with him.
Wu Yuan just used it to buy time until David came out.
After David came out, Wu Yuan kicked him and sent him flying.
“Wu Yuan, you will regret this.” Yan Huo’s voice was cold as ice. “The gods will not let you go.”
Wu Yuan smiled and said, “We have to wait until you get out of here alive.”
He turned to David, his smile becoming more genuine.
“Master Chen, let’s do it. Let’s work together and wipe out all these gods.”
David stared at him, his purple eyes devoid of any expression.
“Okay.” His voice was calm.
A glimmer of joy flashed in Wu Yuan’s eyes as he turned around and walked towards Yan Huo.
The Dark Abyss Sword emitted a deep, resounding sound in his hand, with dark golden colored sword energy flowing along the blade.
The Divine Race members instinctively took a step back when they saw Wu Yuan approaching. Their eyes were filled with fear, not because of Wu Yuan, but because of David.
David’s name has become taboo among the gods.
An eighth-rank True God defeated a fifth-rank Gold Immortal—such an event had never happened in the history of the Divine Race.
Now, David had come out of the tomb, his cultivation had achieved a breakthrough, and he was even stronger.
How could they possibly win?
Yan Huo gritted his teeth, holding the golden spear horizontally in front of him, his golden-red eyes were bloodshot.
“Everyone, listen up! Don’t panic! We still have more than twenty people, while they only have around a dozen! Let’s fight!”
The gods were slightly moved by Yan Huo’s words.
They gripped their magical artifacts tightly, and golden holy light flashed on their bodies, turning the entire sky golden.
