367: Chapter 367: The Medicine Immortal's Game

Chapter 367: Medicine Immortal's Scheme

Lin Yu was one of the people he valued. If Lin Yu only watched, he would have no choice.

The most crucial point was that he detected a hint of imperceptible greed in the eyes of the other person, Ye Mu.

Moreover, this greed was not for the surrounding resources, but for him personally.

This made him feel it was not very reliable.

However.

Lin Yu merely shook his head when he heard this, smiling without speaking.

At the same time, he made a gesture of invitation.

The meaning was clear: they should ignore him and continue.

"Senior, you are now in a benevolent state. Why force others? Why not tell us your conditions? Aren't there enough of us for you to choose from?"

At this moment, Ye Mu on the other side spoke again.

When he saw Lin Yu withdraw, he was surprised but also felt a little relieved.

Without Lin Yu as a competitor, he was 100% confident he could secure this old man.

The others were not worth mentioning.

Therefore, there was no longer much reverence in his words.

The medicine immortal remnant soul currently had little strength. If necessary, it wouldn't be impossible for him to forcibly take it down.

Although his previous methods were useless, in the absence of significant resistance, dealing with a remnant soul was more than enough.

As he spoke, he was secretly transmitting a message to Elder Heavenly Yu, ready to act at any moment, depending on whether this old man was sensible.

"Hehe, what this young friend Ye Mu said is true. This old man was too stubborn!"

Wu Daozi seemed not to have heard the disrespect in Ye Mu's words. Instead, he nodded in agreement.

Then, after glancing around, he smiled again and said:

"Everyone, this old man's condition is very simple: swear an Oath of the Heavenly Dao to help this old man reshape his physical body!"

"In return, all resources here will belong to him, and this old man also promises to grant three requests within his ability!"

After speaking, he no longer focused on any one person but waited with a half-smile for everyone's reply.

No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"Hahaha... Old man, should I call you confident or ignorant? Do you really think this is still the time ten thousand years ago when everyone revered you? Now you are so weak. Do you think these resources are yours to give to whomever you choose? We can certainly take them ourselves!"

Just as Wu Daozi's words fell, a Golden Immortal in the alliance immediately burst into laughter.

His words were full of sarcasm.

Moreover, while speaking, he also took practical action, directly rushing towards the Nine Tribulation Purple Bamboo closest to him.

If the opponent were still the Demon Immortal of ten thousand years ago, no one would dare to act recklessly.

But now, the opponent's demonic thoughts were gone, his physical body completely destroyed, leaving only a riddled benevolent remnant soul. Who would still care about what he said?

The opportunities were right there; naturally, whoever got them would own them.

But.

Just as he approached the Nine Tribulation Purple Bamboo, his expression suddenly changed drastically, as if he had seen something incredible.

He wanted to return immediately.

But it was too late. His body exploded with a 'bang' into a cloud of blood mist. Not even his soul escaped; both body and soul were destroyed!

This...

The scene immediately fell silent.

Especially the alliance members who had just been eyeing those resources now showed fear in their eyes.

That was a Golden Immortal, who exploded without a sound.

Most importantly, they didn't even see what happened.

Their gazes towards Wu Daozi also changed from disdain to fear.

"Alas! My memory fails me. I forgot to tell everyone that both the Nine Tribulation Purple Bamboo and the Celestial Silk have been surrounded by a poisonous miasma environment for a very long time. Anyone below the Immortal Venerable realm who touches them will surely die! It's all because of my demonic thoughts' grave sins. I hope everyone understands!"

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Wu Daozi immediately showed a pained look.

After speaking, he even cupped his fists and apologized to everyone.

From the surface, there was truly nothing to fault.

However, his words, instead of making people relax, made them even more wary.

There were few fools present.

Wu Daozi was establishing his authority and increasing his bargaining chips.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell everyone, lest anyone gets hurt again. The opportunities here are already bound to this old man's remnant soul. If the soul is destroyed, all the opportunities here will also be destroyed!"

Just as everyone was still pondering that sentence, Wu Daozi spoke again.

However, when he said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally focused on Ye Mu.

[Damn, Lin Yu, this old man is not just cunning! How long ago did he start setting up this scheme? He's completely cornered everyone here!]

Before anyone else could react to Wu Daozi's words, the System's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind.

Lin Yu's eyes also narrowed slightly at this moment.

He looked at Wu Daozi thoughtfully.

He never believed that cultivators possessed absolute 'goodness'.

This Medicine Immortal was rumored to be so mystical by outsiders, only because his demonic thoughts were too heinous, which made his other side seem very 'benevolent'.

But truly good people, in the cultivation world, cannot live too long.

Even some 'Holy Marys' only show their benevolence when their own interests are not touched.

And a person like the Medicine Immortal, who had survived for countless years in this cruel cultivation world.

Moreover, he possessed great resolve, sealing himself for tens of thousands of years. How could he be 'good' to the point of being slaughtered at will?

However, this old man himself seemed unaware that the demonic thoughts within his body had not been completely purged.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, when the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits!

The clam had already appeared on the surface, and the snipe had not yet made its move. There was no need for him, the fisherman, to rush.

"System, I've been observing this old man for a long time, and I haven't found anything special about him. What's the point of me taking him down?"

Although he wasn't in a hurry, he really wanted to understand what was so special about this old man that made the System care so much.

[Hmph, how can you, with your mortal eyes, understand? If he weren't special, could he have destroyed a domain in the Golden Immortal realm and made Saint Immortal powerhouses wary?]

[Moreover, I'll tell you, this old man's most abnormal thing hasn't awakened yet. This guy is a late bloomer. If he hadn't met this Ye Mu and you, he would definitely be the next person of destiny, and a very strong one at that.]

The System did not avoid the question this time and spoke frankly.

This immediately made Lin Yu's expression brighten.

If the System said so, he was full of energy.

He understood 'late bloomer'. To some extent, they were even more terrifying than ordinary people of destiny.

However, this guy seemed unable to last until then.

That Ye Mu seemed to have no intention of saving him.

Wu Daozi could perceive this, and he naturally could too.

Wu Daozi's last sentence earlier was actually directed at Ye Mu.

He also wanted to see whether Ye Mu would directly target this old man or try to preserve those resources first.
