Chapter 561: Greedy Black Heart

Chapter 561: Greedy Black Heart

"That's impossible! That's utterly impossible!" The one who blew up in anger was Immortal Rumbling Blade Hei Shanzhi, the most irritable member of the Four Greats, "Everblade City is one of the safest places in the entire subcontinent. No beast or demon has ever dared to scheme against us in over five hundred years!"Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

"That's right, there must be some kind of conspiracy! There's no way we could have foreseen this!" Immortal Unbreakable Will Tai Wuyi quickly added.

The other two members of the Four Greats, Immortal Green Destiny Yang Kaitian and Immortal Thousand Swords Jin Wu, also joined in. They chattered like a flock of hens as they tried to defend themselves. They even dared to place the blame on Qiu Chuyi for being useless in this time of crisis.

These four were frightened because they knew that being trapped by the domain of a powerful demon was one thing while having their one escape route cut off by powerful explosive mines was another thing entirely. It meant that the Four Greats had completely failed in their duty to provide safety and security for the guests of the Convocation of Swords. They could not escape responsibility as the hosts. If the ground beneath the arena had been entirely turned into a demon trap without their knowledge, then even death could not erase their offense.

Su Tan directly ignored these useless words. She didn't have much faith in these four to begin. She turned to Peng Yuefeng and Yang Maoda and urgently conversed with them, trying to figure out any possible way they could still escape. Without Qiu Chuyi, their chances decreased dramatically but since they had seven immortals who could still fight, they wouldn't just roll over and die.

Chen Wentian, who was still playing dead, cracked open his dirt and fake-blood-covered eyes and took a quick glance around. He was lying amidst the stricken immortals, their figures strewn haphazardly across the stone tiles of the arena. Qiu Chuyi, who was still moaning in pain like a dying pig, was close by. Next to him was another person he knew, Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi of the Legendary Fighter League. Black blood continued to leak out of her nose and lips but she was already unconscious. The others were also in bad shape and getting worse. The ones that were still sitting upright in meditation looked as if they were about to fall over.

The seven that could still stand and fight had devolved into arguments a short distance away. It seemed like panic and dread were starting to overwhelm their fighting spirit. Su Tan had lost her cool and was shouting at one person or another. Peng Yuefeng had a grave expression on his face and his eyes were filled with fear. The only one that remained unnaturally at ease was the ugly goblin Yang Maoda who remained calm and confident.

Chen Wentian moved on from these people and quietly studied his surroundings. It wasn't time yet for him to make a move. Since the perpetrators hadn't appeared, he remained patient and analyzed the situation.

These demons obviously didnt want to kill but capture alive. To keep over twenty human immortals alive, they would have to have a secret lair to keep them imprisoned. If he could find out where this was, it would benefit him way more in the long run but he would have to take some risks and stay in the eye of the storm.

Chen Wentian considered the issue for a short while and chose to save only two people, Immortal Tempest Badger Qiu Chuyi and Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi. He would save Qiu Chuyi because he wanted to scheme against Beast God Sanctum. There was also a tiny connection between them due to his avatar, He Xingping, and that persons precious wife, Qiu Jingyi.

As for Shi Shi, she was a peculiar person. She was the first among his peers to seek him out without any ill intentions. Because of this, it could be considered that they also had a small relationship. He was sure that she would speak up for him if he saved her.

With this decided, his right hand twitched slightly as a dark shadow emerged and slid away to hide amongst the wounded immortals. He then became still once more as he waited for the conclusion of this battle.
