It is a deadly trap specifically designed to lure cultivators into greed and cause them to kill each other!
Looking at his empty palms, he thought of his dead disciples, his seriously injured subordinates, the cultivation he had expended, and everything he had given in vain.
Thinking of his arrogant and smug appearance in public just now, Kugu Jin felt a surge of emotion in his chest!
puff–!
A mouthful of dark, foul air mixed with blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth!
Blood and Qi surged, the foundation of one’s Dao trembled, and the mind and spirit shattered!
The extreme frustration, anger, regret, embarrassment, and self-mockery instantly overwhelmed his mind!
After planning for a long time, fighting desperately, and paying a heavy price, what he finally managed to snatch back was a pile of ashes that had long since broken and could only be kept alive by the Dao Ruins aura!
From beginning to end, he was a complete joke!
After a moment of deathly silence, faint gasps and suppressed murmurs slowly rose from the room.
Everyone understood the truth, their eyes filled with sighs, mockery, and relief.
I’m glad I didn’t fight to the bitter end and die in vain. I mock the arrogant and domineering Kugujin for wasting his efforts and making a fool of himself.
The atmosphere within the Wanfa Heavenly Palace camp was completely different.
Having witnessed the entire farce firsthand, those who had experienced it all felt nothing but immense relief and shock.
Fortunately, I listened to Chen Ping’s advice and did not rush into the game and suffer unnecessary casualties.
I was amazed by the sharp eyes and accurate predictions of this weak, rogue cultivator.
With just a superficial analysis, he easily saw through the illusory trap of the Dao Ruins Treasure and avoided a catastrophe that could have caused heavy casualties to the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace!
The two white-haired elders now looked at Chen Ping with utter amazement and recognition, without a trace of contempt.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile finally bloomed on Su Qingyuan’s cool and aloof face.
That smile was faint and gentle, untouched by worldly concerns, like the first melting of snow and the caress of a spring breeze, cool yet carrying a touch of relief and tenderness, exquisitely beautiful and moving.
She turned her head, her gaze gently falling on Chen Ping, who remained timidly bowing his head beside her, and spoke softly, her tone full of sincere gratitude:
“Chen Ping, thank you.”
“If you hadn’t intervened in time and pointed out the pros and cons, our Wanfa Tiangong would surely be in chaos today, suffering even more casualties. You saved our entire team.”
This expression of gratitude was sincere and solemn, without any air of superiority; it was purely from the bottom of my heart.
Upon hearing Su Qingyuan’s gentle thanks, Chen Ping immediately looked up, his eyes blank and his face utterly bewildered. He seemed completely oblivious, as if he hadn’t understood at all and hadn’t felt he had done anything meritorious. He scratched his head sheepishly and stammered:
“Huh? Thank me for what?”
“I’m just I’m a coward, I didn’t dare to snatch it, I was just talking nonsense I don’t know why that treasure broke, maybe it was too fragile”
“It’s good enough to live a peaceful life; there’s no need to fight over those fancy things.”
He had an innocent and pure look on his face, perfectly replicating the timid, cowardly, and clueless rogue cultivator who stumbled upon success by sheer luck. He didn’t take credit for anything or show off his skills, taking his ability to play dumb to the extreme.
Looking at his pure, innocent, simple, and clumsy appearance, Su Qingyuan’s admiration for him deepened.
He possesses exceptional insight and a clear mind, yet he remains humble, modest, and pure. This kind of character far surpasses that of countless arrogant and conceited geniuses.
Little did she know that the seemingly naive and timid boy before her had already seen through the entire situation, the authenticity of the treasures, and the greed in people’s hearts.
Not far away, the withered bones, their blood surging and their minds shattered, were staring intently at this scene.
He watched as Su Qingyuan smiled gently at Chen Ping and sincerely thanked him. Seeing the boy’s innocent and harmless face, the anger and frustration in his chest exploded instantly!
On what grounds?!
He fought desperately, shed blood in battle, his disciples died tragically, and he suffered endless humiliation, only to end up with nothing and become a laughing stock!
This ant did nothing, yet by being cowardly and avoiding battle, and by sheer luck, it managed to escape unscathed, receive a gentle thank you from Su Qingyuan, and be treated with special regard?
Even his own arrogance, showing off, and unrestrained mockery just now became a joke that highlighted the other party’s intelligence and wisdom!
Jealousy, anger, resentment, unwillingness, humiliation!
Countless emotions completely overwhelmed the reason of the withered bones. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing blood. His eyes were filled with murderous intent and a fierce rage.
“Chen Ping”
He forced out two cold, piercing words between his teeth, his voice hoarse, distorted, and filled with extreme madness.
“Su Qingyuan…”
“You just wait!”
“This show isn’t over yet!”
The darkness deep within the Dao Ruins remains boundless.
The truly perilous and unsolvable trap has yet to be opened.
All the frustrations, losses, and humiliations he suffers today will be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold, in the future!
He must tear apart this ant’s disguise, and he must shatter Su Qingyuan’s aloof pride!
Hidden danger lurks in the shadows; a mad obsession with revenge has taken root deep within the heart of the withered bones.
Chen Ping remained obediently close to Su Qingyuan, feeling the gentle and reassuring aura beside him, and felt relaxed and at ease.
Go ahead and get angry, the angrier the better.
The more unbalanced one’s mindset, the easier it is to fall into a dead end.
He had plenty of time in the depths of the Dao Ruins to slowly play with this twisted, withered young master and have a good time.
