Who the Fuck Was Throwing Their Weight Around Here?!
Why did it stop?
As everyone was lost in thought, they suddenly stopped, and all eyes turned to the two of them.
The two men raised their hands in a shushing gesture, then looked at everyone with mysterious expressions and said:
"Didn't we tell you before that my brother and I have special channels to get you in?"
Hearing the two people's questions, most people were slightly taken aback, wondering what they were trying to say.
The distance from here to the middle isn't far.
Having already come this far, why can't the rest remain the same as before?!
Some people, having guessed something, looked behind the two and at the ground.
At that moment, one of the two men waved his arm.
Brush.
With a flash of light, a piece of debris on the ground behind the two disappeared.
Instead, there was a dark, gaping hole.
As they gazed at the entrance leading underground, the crowd suddenly fell silent.
Is this something you should say, or not? It seems quite honest?
They said they had special channels, and it really was just those channels.
"It's such a short distance, why do we have to take this route?" someone asked, snapping out of their daze.
"Exactly, why not just walk over there? Why be so sneaky?"
"Excuse me, are you sure we can get through here?"
The two appeared confident in the face of the questions posed by the crowd.
"Rest assured, everyone, we will not let you down. The reason we are going underground is because this place can bypass the arrays and other methods set up ahead. Those things cannot enter without an invitation."
After a pause, another person added:
"If you don't trust us brothers, you are welcome to withdraw, and my brother and I will refund your fees. However, if you want this opportunity again, it will be gone. If you want to get close to Jiang Xin, besides having a powerful enough identity, I guarantee this is your only chance."
Hearing this, the dissatisfaction on everyone's faces lessened somewhat.
If they had sufficient status and power, why would they need to resort to such methods?
But as this person said, this is indeed the only chance. In the outer areas, even if you spend some resources, there is still no chance. Let alone seeing Jiang Xin, you can't even sense her exact location.
Soon, everyone reached a consensus and began to urge them on.
The group filed in, and then, accompanied by a surge of light, the cave entrance disappeared.
The two walked in front, with the others following behind, making their way forward in a winding path, for about the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
The space in front of us suddenly became somewhat empty.
Soon, a large door came into view.
The two stepped forward and slowly opened the door.
At this point, some people already had obvious doubts on their faces.
We've walked for so long; judging by the distance, we should be about halfway there by now.
Logically, we should have left by now.
But now, it seems...
Is it getting deeper?
Rumble.
With a muffled thud, the door was opened.
Then, ahead came another space, much larger than this one, but with smooth, flat stone walls intersecting on both sides, giving the entire space a triangular shape.
"Please follow me, everyone."
Unaware of what was going on, the crowd followed the two inside.
As soon as Qin Han entered, he heard Hua Yunfan's voice transmission reminding him:
"Be careful, something's not right here. There's a formation isolating us from the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Qin Han's expression immediately became wary.
At this moment, someone couldn't wait to speak up and ask.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, the two of them decisively spoke up, saying:
"Everyone, we've arrived at the location I promised to bring you."
The words echoed like a fart resounding through an empty valley.
"What the hell? We're here already?"
"Damn it, you're messing with me? You told me about this underground place?"
"You'd better take us there quickly. If you can't, don't blame us for being impolite. I can't believe you two have such guts. Haven't you considered the consequences of playing us for fools?"
For a time, public sentiment was undeniably high.
Now, there's no Jiang Xin anywhere beneath this ground; she can't even sense the sounds of the zither from the outside world.
Faced with a group of people who seemed somewhat impulsive, the two remained quite calm. One of them raised his hand, pointed upwards, and said:
"The ground directly above us is where Jiang Xin is. Looking down from above, you and she are practically at the same point. Would you call that close?"
"Furthermore, although you can't hear the music here and the location is relatively low, it is indeed the center of Zither Sound Valley, and I'm not lying to you about that."
After a pause, the man put his hands on his hips and looked at the crowd with an air of confidence:
"We've accomplished both of the two things we agreed on. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
These words, spoken without a trace of falsehood, caused everyone to pause slightly.
Some people couldn't help but think back on it carefully.
It seems that neither of these two people ever said they could see Jiang Xin.
But facts are facts.
It's hard to swallow this insult.
"Grass!"
With a clang, one man drew his longsword, his aura surging, instantly unleashing a formidable pressure. He pointed the sword at the speaker and roared:
Believe it or not, I'll chop you up!
The words fell before the boy being addressed could speak.
The two large doors behind them suddenly closed.
At the same time, a voice suddenly came from behind the group:
"Are you planning to bully us by abusing your power?"
Everyone instinctively looked back.
Immediately afterwards, many people were stunned and stood there, looking back in disbelief.
The gate was divided into sections, and in each section, there was a figure.
The seemingly smooth walls on both sides even began to blur, revealing figures.
Rows of crossbow bolts, each as thick as an arm, were positioned on either side, pointing at the crowd, their cold gleam sending chills down one's spine.
"Elder Hua!"
Qin Han's expression changed slightly, and he immediately began to secretly activate his spiritual power.
Amidst the shock, there was also a hint of displeasure.
I actually fell for their trick?!
"You!"
The boy with the knife also noticed this scene, and for a moment, his face turned somewhat green.
Who on earth is abusing their power here?!
The other people didn't look too good either.
The situation is quite clear at a glance.
They got scammed!
The people who came out not only outnumbered them, but their aura was also no weaker.
More importantly, these people all wore the insignia of the Extreme Arms Holy Land on their chests.
"Sir, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"
One of the boys took a deep breath, looked at the two people who had brought them, and asked gently.
Upon hearing this, the man simply shook his head. "Doing business is all about integrity. We've done everything we promised you, so it's only right that we charge you those fees."
"However, some of you were bullying an honest person just now. There's nothing we can do but be a little cautious."
Upon hearing this, the person asking the question couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouth.
This is a large group of people and government officials.
Just a little precaution?
You're kidding me!
At this moment, the boy continued:
"I'm only responsible for bringing you here. You can leave if you want; everyone is here voluntarily. However, if you go out and badmouth us, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
At this moment, everyone present was secretly furious.
The resources handed over are not a small amount; if there were any gains, it would naturally be worthwhile, but as it is now, it's a huge loss!
Another group of people find this extremely incomprehensible.
Why would disciples of the mighty Extreme Arms Holy Land resort to such methods to cheat people? Besides, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? How many people do they even have?
In fact, if Lu Changzhi were present, he would have known.
Those who brought the group and the disciples who were guarding this place all shared a common characteristic.
Green!
Furthermore, this matter is far from being an overreaction.
These people are now just one group of customers in one of several areas within this space.
What makes this group of customers different?
That was Qin Han.
Among the crowd, Qin Han's reaction was the calmest.
When people have something to rely on, they are less afraid of most things.
"Elder Hua, I'm confident I can handle those two who brought me in. Could you hold off the others for a bit?"
