Drum and Pass the Flower, Who Is the Fool? (Part 2)

Given Yuan Yi's character, he would never sacrifice himself to protect others.

Therefore, when the news that the Three Thousand Lightning Movement had been sold to the Black Skull Tomb at the Auction was told to Mo Tang and his group without any psychological pressure, they readily shared it.

"Oh? So it was the Black Skull Tomb that obtained these Three Thousand Lightning Movement? Hopefully they won't cultivate them without permission, otherwise..."

Mo Tang's words seemed calm, but everyone present could sense the bloodlust in them.

But this is probably the normal reaction. After all, it was their own sect's inherited techniques that were stolen. If it were them, they would probably have killed them directly.

At this moment, Yuan Yi became very proactive, saying, "Mr. Tang, if you want to seek justice from the Black Skull Tomb, then Yuan Yi am willing to lend you a hand. After all, our Eight Gates also bears responsibility for this matter, and I feel very guilty."

Mo Tang glanced at the other party with a slight puzzlement, somewhat surprised by Yuan Yi's behavior.

It seems this guy is quite perceptive...

They're playing a game of Drum and Pass the Flower, and whoever gets the last "flower" will be the unlucky one.

Whether the other party possesses the Three Thousand Lightning Movement or has secretly learned other sects' inherited secret techniques, none of that matters.

The important thing is that, under the pressure of the Three Major Powers, with Mo Tang, who represents the great power of Central Plains, leading the way, and with a legitimate reason to support him, no matter who the unlucky guy is in the end, he will face the fate of being torn apart and divided up by everyone.

Even if other forces in the Black Corner Region disapprove of their domineering approach, they have no reason to object.

If Mo Tang and Su Mei hadn't discussed this point beforehand, and then used it to tempt Tie Wu and Yin Gu Lao, the two of them might not have been willing to White Gang Mo Tang run around for nothing...

Ultimately, it all comes down to profit!

Yuan Yi saw this, which is why she so actively chose to join and become one of the final sharers of the pie.

However, whether he can become a part of the pie depends on whether Mo Tang agrees...

Ultimately, this whole affair was initiated by him.

Without the pretext of Mo Tang representing the Wind Thunder Pavilion, even the alliance of the Three Major Powers would not dare to attack a first-class force without reason, as that could easily arouse the vigilance of other forces and lead to uncontrollable consequences!

Mo Tang listened to Yuan Yi's words and lowered his head in deep thought.

Behind him, Su Mei and the others frowned, looking displeased.

After all, one more person means one more cake to eat, so there will be one less cake for them to share. No wonder they won't be happy.

Seeing this, Yuan Yi became even more determined in her mind, and seeing everyone's expressions, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Mr. Tang, you're new to the Black Corner Region, so you probably don't know this. The Black Skull Tomb has always been mysterious, and it's not as simple as it appears to the outside world!"

Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuan Yi with some surprise, and asked in astonishment, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Su Mei and the other two frowned and listened attentively to Yuan Yi's words.

Unfortunately, although the Three Major Powers have been established in the Black Corner Region for many years, they are not experts in everything.

In particular, the Black Skull Tomb has always been shrouded in mystery. In the entire Black Corner Region, apart from having a considerable grudge with the Blood Sect, it has rarely had any contact with any other first-class forces.

As for the legendary Tomb Master, no one has ever seen him.

Yuan Yi organized his thoughts before solemnly saying, "I heard this by chance. It is said that the Black Skull Tomb is not just an ordinary first-rate force as the rumors suggest."

The Black Skull Tomb is actually divided into two parts, an inner and an outer one. The outer part is the well-known Black Skull City, whose power is similar to that of other first-class forces.

But the true power of the Black Skull Tomb lies within its Inner Tomb!

Seeing that Mo Tang and the leaders of the Three Major Powers were already captivated by his words, Yuan Yi smiled inwardly and continued, "It is said that the Inner Tomb of the Black Skull Tomb is actually inside a huge ancient tomb, where the tomb's Tomb Master has been in seclusion for many years, almost completely detached from the outside world..."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that none of the previous Tomb Master of the Black Skull Tomb have ever appeared on the Black List. That's because they simply don't care about such empty titles and are too lazy to challenge the Black List..."

From what I understand, the Tomb Master of this Black Skull Tomb is at least as powerful as, or even surpasses, Fan Lao, the Sect Master the Blood Sect ...

Otherwise, given the Blood Sect's domineering nature and the long-standing feud between the two families, Fan Lao would probably have already destroyed the Black Skull Tomb!

Mo Tang and the others were all very surprised...

Even in the original work, there doesn't seem to be any detailed description of the Black Skull Tomb, and the Tomb Master's face is never even shown, so even Mo Tang doesn't know anything about these things.

As for Su Mei and the other two, all they knew was the outer forces of the Black Skull Tomb that Yuan Yi had mentioned. As for who the real Tomb Master was, none of them had ever seen him or even heard of him!

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Tang finally decided to accept Yuan Yi's joining.

However, he still chose to ask Su Mei and the others for their opinions.

Su Mei's attitude toward this was very clear.

"You can make the decision about this, little brother. I'll do whatever you say!"

Since she had said so, Tie Wu and Yin Gu Lao had no choice but to agree, though they couldn't help but curse them as "dogs and dogs" in private.

And so, Yuan Yi joined the team.

Then, their group once again set off in a grand procession towards Black Skull City ...

Four Dou Emperor —such a lineup is enough to sweep away any first-rate force in the Black Corner Region.

So when the five of them stood in mid-air above Black Skull City, they really scared the people of Black Skull Tomb.

"Gentlemen, what brings you to my Black Skull City?"

The Tomb Master of the Black Skull Tomb, dressed in a long black robe with strange patterns and whose face was even hidden in his hat, arrived in the sky and stood opposite the five people. He asked in a torn and hoarse voice.

Mo Tang stepped forward from the crowd, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other party, and said calmly, "There are some things I would like to ask the Tomb Master!"

Seeing Mo Tang's reaction, the black eyes hidden under the hood narrowed slightly before he spoke up, "In that case, why don't we go into the city and sit down?"

Mo Tang and the others did not refuse and followed the Tomb Master directly to the Black Skull Tomb's headquarters in the city.

Mo Tang had already checked his System Map; the mysterious Black Skull Tomb Master was merely Four-Star Dou Emperor, not at all as mysterious as Yuan Yi had described...

So for a moment, he thought he had been tricked by that old bastard Yuan Yi!
