Chapter 1060: Chapter 668: The Location
"Alright, then tell us the specific location, and after this matter is over, we will see if the place is indeed as you said!" Qin Tao said coldly to Liu Hun.
But this time, before Liu Hun could speak, Wu Dao was the first to cut in: "Why should we tell you where the place is? If you have the ability, find it yourself. Aren’t you quite capable?"
Faced with Wu Dao’s mockery, Qin Tao’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say much, his eyes remained on Liu Hun.
Qin Tao is not a fool, on the contrary, he is extremely intelligent. In such a place, even the Clan Leader of the Ghost Doctor Clan treats Liu Hun with such respect, coupled with the incidents Liu Hun and Wu Dao experienced earlier, it’s clear that if Liu Hun agrees, the rest won’t be a problem.
"Since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you the approximate location now." Liu Hun looked deeply at Qin Tao, and then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, displaying a faint smile.
"Brother Liu, you..." Wu Dao was momentarily stunned by Liu Hun’s straightforward agreement, unable to react initially.
But when he saw the faint smile on Liu Hun’s lips, Wu Dao paused for a moment, then quickly understood.
Immediately, Wu Dao excitedly approached Qin Tao, picked up a stone from the ground and quickly sketched out the approximate topography of the earlier location.
"Don’t say I’m not being fair, I’m not as sinister as you. I’ve drawn the map for you, whether you can remember it is your problem." Wu Dao said lightly to Qin Tao.
Seeing their expressions, Qin Tao understood Liu Hun and Wu Dao’s thoughts. Given the Gate of Life and Death’s location, it was clearly fraught with dangers, but Qin Tao still wanted to take the risk.
After all, he had long heard of the rumors about the Gate of Life and Death, and in his view, if Liu Hun and Wu Dao could emerge from it safely, then why couldn’t he?
"This matter is not for you to worry about. Shall we discuss the main issue now?" After imprinting the map deeply into his mind, Qin Tao turned to everyone and said.
Many came in initially, but not many survived, so in the entire scene, Liu Hun’s group was the biggest opponent.
"Main issue? What main issue?" Wu Dao raised his eyebrows and asked Qin Tao, displeased.
"Of course, it’s about Chi You’s weapon, otherwise why would we be here?" Qin Tao replied with a cold smile.
"Damn it, old man, don’t be too overbearing! Not only did Brother Liu save you disregarding past grievances, but now this sarcophagus was opened by Brother Liu, and you want to seize Chi You’s weapon? I’ve seen shameless people, but not as shameless as you!" Wu Dao was immediately displeased upon hearing Qin Tao’s words and cursed him angrily.
"It’s not important who opened it, what’s important is who can acquire this weapon. Otherwise, why would everyone risk their lives to come to such a ghostly place? And don’t forget, he was only saving his own people earlier, don’t pin the blame on me." After speaking, Qin Tao turned his gaze to Liu Hun.
After a pause, Qin Tao continued to speak to Liu Hun: "Liu Hun, do you have any objections now?"
"Of course not, do whatever you want, I’m not interested in this thing anyway." Liu Hun shrugged, saying indifferently.
"Alright, then we won’t be polite!" As soon as Qin Tao heard Liu Hun’s words, he rushed towards the sarcophagus, fearing Liu Hun might change his mind.
But this couldn’t be blamed on Qin Tao, since if we speak truthfully, Liu Hun’s side has more power than him, and if Liu Hun disagrees, Qin Tao could do nothing against Liu Hun.
But now that Liu Hun has agreed, there is no reason for Qin Tao to hesitate; he still understands the principle of striking first.
"Brother Liu...why did you agree to Qin Tao, that bastard?" Wu Dao approached Liu Hun anxiously as he watched Qin Tao’s group quickly rush toward the sarcophagus.
Wu Dao didn’t care who ultimately seized Chi You’s weapon, as long as it wasn’t Qin Tao who got it.
As Wu Dao finished speaking, the Clan Leader and others slowly approached Liu Hun, furrowing their brows with a few puzzled expressions as they looked at him.
The Clan Leader believed that Liu Hun would never easily give up Chiyou’s weapon at this moment, even though on the surface Liu Hun’s attitude toward their Ghost Doctor Clan was still not very good.
Seeing the inquiries from Wu Dao and the Clan Leader, Liu Hun took a deep breath, his peripheral vision sweeping over the others, noticing they were all rushing toward the coffin, all wanting to seize Chiyou’s weapon.
"There’s no such thing as Chiyou’s weapon here at all. When I opened the coffin earlier, I saw some weapons inside, but I could faintly sense malice within them. If someone used these weapons for a long time, the consequences would likely be unimaginable," Liu Hun explained after pondering for a moment.
However, Liu Hun never mentioned to everyone that the Artifact Soul of Chiyou’s weapon had already merged into his weapon.
Liu Hun’s caution was understandable, after all, the name Chiyou alone was enough to shock people. If it were known that the Artifact Soul of Chiyou’s weapon had merged into his weapon, it might not be a good thing for Liu Hun in the future.
Even though he trusted Wu Dao and the Clan Leader, some things couldn’t be measured by trust alone, something Liu Hun knew very well after living through two lifetimes.
"How can this be? Could the rumor have always been false?" the Clan Leader murmured softly, his brows tightly knit after hearing Liu Hun’s words.
Chiyou’s weapon naturally had a suppressive effect on their Ghost Doctor Clan’s cultivation methods, so the Clan Leader naturally didn’t want this weapon to fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, it would be extremely disadvantageous for their clan, supporting the idea that one must always be vigilant against others, which was precisely the Clan Leader’s mindset at that moment.
However, after hearing Liu Hun’s words, the Clan Leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the rumor was false and Chiyou’s weapon didn’t exist, then it was actually good news for their Ghost Doctor Clan, and they wouldn’t have to waste effort competing with others over it.
Even though the Clan Leader had publicly stated he didn’t fear the Wu Family and the Qin Family, the truth was that neither the Qin Family nor the Wu Family were soft targets, and even the Clan Leader didn’t dare to be too reckless.
Otherwise, given the Clan Leader’s character, if someone else dared to speak to him like that, that person would probably have already become a corpse.
"Hehe, if that’s the case, then Qin Tao must have been busy for nothing, and in the end, won’t meet a good end. Indeed, greedy people never have a good outcome." Wu Dao, being straightforward, was delighted after hearing Liu Hun’s words. He watched Qin Tao and others at the forefront, his face full of smiles.
At that moment, Qin Tao was the first to arrive at the coffin, and upon seeing the contents, he was momentarily dumbfounded.
The coffin was filled with a sea of molten lava, bubbling persistently, making it imaginable how high the temperature was. Additionally, countless weapons were submerged in the lava, making it impossible to determine which one was Chiyou’s weapon.
Given all this, choosing became even more difficult.
But no matter what, his goal this time was Chiyou’s weapon. If he couldn’t bring it back, he would face family punishment. Thinking of this, Qin Tao couldn’t help but shiver all over.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Tao slowly turned around and glanced at the crowd that followed him, his face filled with a cold expression. He then said to the crowd, "The Chiyou weapon is set to be ours, the Qin Family’s. If everyone gives us face, I, Qin Tao, will reward you handsomely afterwards. Moreover, I believe you all understand that offending our Qin Family is not a wise choice."
Qin Tao’s words made everyone stop in front of him, looking somewhat hesitant; they truly dared not offend the Qin Family. But this was only true for domestic forces.
The next moment, a foreign power directly sneered at Qin Tao, "Your Qin Family indeed has some capabilities, but for this weapon, we have lost so many lives. Do you think a mere youngster like you could make us give up? Isn’t that too naive?"
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Tao narrowed his eyes, looking at the foreign middle-aged man in front of him, his face full of killing intent.
"If you want to seize Chiyou’s weapon, it depends on our individual skills. Whoever’s skills are superior will naturally get the weapon, and no one shall say a word about it. I think everyone agrees with this fair decision, right?" The middle-aged man knew Qin Tao had murderous intent, but since he had come to this place, he naturally wasn’t weak either.
"I agree!" At this moment, Wu Dao’s voice sounded from behind the crowd, and as soon as the words fell, when everyone subconsciously looked at him, Wu Dao said leisurely, "You all don’t need to worry about this brat’s words; he’s just trying to scare you. Since this is a divine weapon and sharp weapon, it’s fair game for everyone. Why should we risk our lives to make wedding clothes for him? If Qin Tao dares to trouble you later, feel free to come to the Wu Family. I certainly won’t sit idly by without helping, and I’ll get justice for you!"
"You!" Qin Tao was rendered speechless by Wu Dao’s words. Everyone knew the Qin Family and the Wu Family had similar levels of power. Now, with Wu Dao backing them, the crowd felt even less concerned.
