As the palm of Duanmu Lei was only a foot away from Li Wenqing’s head.
With a loud bang!
A palm firmly grasped Duanmu Lei’s wrist at this moment.
A gloomy voice sounded and slowly said, “Duanmu Lei, you can’t make decisions on our behalf!”
The young man who first appeared was now looking at Duanmu Lei with a solemn expression.
How precious is a Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotus?
Ye Wushuang merely asked for the release of the hostages.
They could just let the people go.
Anyway, these people were now in a desperate situation!
They couldn’t escape!
If they just watched as Ye Wushuang destroyed the three Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses step by step, what would happen even if they took pleasure in killing Xu Ziqian, Huan Tianxin and the others?
It would just be a way to annoy Ye Wushuang.
But the loss would be three Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses that could drive those at the Star-Picking Transformation Realm crazy!
“Qingyun Zhen, how dare you stop me?” Duanmu Lei said indifferently.
Qingyun Zhen!
A peerless talent from the Qingyang Hall, ranked twelfth on the Myriad Methods Ranking.
Seeing that Duanmu Lei was determined to have his own way, the woman standing beside Qingyun Zhen also said coldly, “Duanmu Lei, it was us who informed you that Duanmu Yun and Yu Mingyang were killed by this guy!”
“It was also us who informed you and led you here to find this guy!”
“If you insist on going your own way, the two of us believe that we can still deal with you when we join hands!”
This woman was named Shangguan Meng and came from the Wuji Alliance.
Shangguan Meng was also a peerless talent on the Myriad Methods Ranking, ranked fourteenth.
Of course, after months of experience, both Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng had already stepped into the Return to Origin Realm.
Duanmu Lei ranked tenth on the Myriad Methods Ranking.
Those in the top ten of the Myriad Methods Ranking had all been investigated and verified by the Tianyuan Pavilion time and time again, and each of them was terrifyingly powerful.
Even though Qingyun Zhen, who ranked twelfth, and Shangguan Meng, who ranked fourteenth, seemed to be only a few places apart, there was actually a significant gap in their true strength.
Duanmu Lei stared coldly at the two of them.
He could ignore their obstruction, but doing so would cause a rift in the relationship between the Lingjian Pavilion, the Qingyang Hall and the Wuji Alliance.
You should know that although their current strength and status couldn’t change the relationship between the three top forces, in the future, the three of them would become the true pillars of the three forces.
“Let go!”
Duanmu Lei said indifferently.
Qingyun Zhen released his hand.
Duanmu Lei put his hands behind his back and stopped speaking.
Qingyun Zhen looked at Ye Wushuang and smiled faintly, “Ye Wushuang, we’ll give you the people, and you have to pick the Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses and give them to us.”
“One hand gives the people, and the other hand gives the lotuses!”
Ye Wushuang looked at Qingyun Zhen and smiled, “Agreed.”
Flames surged between his palms.
The two Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses gradually broke away from the stone wall. Surrounded by flames in Ye Wushuang’s palm, they shimmered with a pure fire-red light.
The Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses slowly floated in the air.
“Huan Tianxin.”
Ye Wushuang spoke.
Huan Tianxin, with a listless aura, looked at Ye Wushuang.
“Did they do any strange actions to you?”
Hearing this, Huan Tianxin immediately understood what Ye Wushuang meant and shook his head.
That’s good!
Opposite them, Duanmu Lei sneered, “We wouldn’t stoop to such despicable means.”
“Really? People from the Qingyang Hall and the Wuji Alliance might not, but who knows about the Lingjian Pavilion…”
“You…”
It was obvious that Ye Wushuang had an extraordinary grudge against the Lingjian Pavilion.
Such a person definitely couldn’t be left alive!
The exchange began.
Ye Wushuang controlled the two Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses and sent them towards Duanmu Lei, Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng.
Meanwhile, Huan Tianxin, Xu Ziqian, Liang Sierui, Yuan Tianzong, Qin Muyu and Li Wenqing, the six of them, were also sent over.
Neither side played any tricks.
When the six people stood beside Ye Wushuang.
The two Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses also floated in front of Duanmu Lei, Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng.
“The Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses…”
Qingyun Zhen’s expression was filled with a bit of ecstatic excitement at this moment.
Duanmu Lei was calmer, but still looked extremely indifferent.
“One lotus for each of you two, and one for me!”
Duanmu Lei said calmly.
Hearing this, Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng frowned.
But after thinking about it, the two of them still nodded.
Even if they joined hands, they might not be a match for Duanmu Lei.
Bringing one Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotus back to the Wuji Alliance would be enough for the two of them to receive a lot of rewards from the alliance’s senior management.
“However…”
Duanmu Lei slowly said, “The trouble hasn’t been solved yet!”
His eyes fixed on Ye Wushuang and the other seven people, and his brows furrowed.
Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng didn’t care much.
Duanmu Lei saw that the two of them were focused on the Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Strange?
What was strange?
Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng looked at Duanmu Lei.
“This is the depths of the pit, and there’s no way out.”
Duanmu Lei continued, “Ye Wushuang could have demanded that we leave this place and then make the deal outside.”
“Hand over the Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses with one hand and send out Huan Tianxin and the other six with the other hand, and then they could escape.”
“But now, two Dao-Converging Fire Cloud Lotuses were exchanged for the six people, and they, the seven of them, are inside while we are outside, blocking their way of escape!”
After saying this, Qingyun Zhen and Shangguan Meng also furrowed their brows.
It seemed that what he said was indeed true.
Then why?
Why didn’t Ye Wushuang go outside first and then make the deal with them?
The three of them simultaneously looked at the young man in white standing by the fire pool.
Ye Wushuang met the gazes of the three of them and smiled faintly, “You’re quite right. I could have made the deal with you outside. As for why I didn’t do that…”
“Because here, if I kill you, no one will be able to see it!”
As soon as the words fell, the Tianyan Sword condensed out, and a clear sword hum echoed throughout the pit…
