Chapter 85: Everyone Gathered, Three Words and Two Sentences Broke the Alliance

  "What's that?"

  Several people turned their heads back at the same time.

  "This is a brilliant light that can only be emitted by a precious treasure." Chen Jiukun said with certainty.

  "Brother Chen" licked his lips with a hint of surplus.

  "Dry up, you must listen to my command, when we get the treasure, I'll take 50%," said Chen Jiu.

  A few people looked at each other, and Chen Jiu's intimidating power was far superior to everyone present.

  "Alright, I'll listen to Brother Chen's arrangements," said Ying Yu.

  Li Xinyu hesitated and said, "Senior brother, if people say you colluded with Fang Xiandao, your reputation will be ruined."

  "Haha, I, Chen Jiuhang, am upright and unafraid of those empty titles. What I want is real benefits."

  After finishing speaking, he led the way towards the place where the treasure light rushed up.

  It wasn't just Chen Jiuyi and his group who saw it, all the living beings inside the entire Dongtian saw it. Those who could come here were naturally not fools, and everyone rushed towards the place where the treasure light shot up into the sky.

  This is a strange place where space itself has become distorted. Right at the point of distortion on the surface, there are beams of treasure light shooting up into the sky.

  Yi Xiao stood alone on a mountain head not far from Bao Guang, standing quietly.

  On another mountain, with Chen Yi as the leader, all the Confucians were quietly waiting for the treasure to be born. Diagonally opposite, on the diagonal opposite side of the mountain where Chen Yi was located, was the camp of Fang Shi, and all the Fang Shi were there.

  "Listen, the birth of this treasure is earth-shaking, it's definitely not an ordinary object. Even if we Confucians can't get it, we can't let those Taoist priests get it either. Otherwise, with such a powerful treasure to aid them, our Confucian influence will greatly decline, and we'll be at a disadvantage. It's just that Yi Shi-xiong refuses to help us, and Chen Shi-xiong has gone missing." Chen Yi's face turned solemn, and an aura of killing intent gradually spread out.

  "We humbly follow our elder brother's teachings and will never let outsiders obtain the ultimate treasure, we swear to protect it with our lives."

  "Alright, alright, whoever can obtain the treasure, I will definitely reward them. Joining Qingyang Academy is not a dream, and even entering the Scripture Library to obtain martial arts scriptures is not a dream." Chen Yi began making promises with benefits as he looked at the enthusiastic crowd.

  "Fang Xian Dao, a young man quietly gazed at the crowd: 'No one expected that such a treasure would be here. The Confucians have an advantage over us from the start, and their moral integrity is stronger than ours. Originally, we should give up on this treasure hunt, but the Confucians are too powerful. If I, Fang Xian Dao, don't obtain a few more treasures to increase my foundation, I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm completely eliminated. This is a battle for our sect's survival; we must fight with all our might and not spare our lives. For the future of our sect, we must abandon everything and fear neither life nor death.'"

  After finishing speaking, there was no response, but a fierce and tragic atmosphere spread among the crowd.

  A dark shadow quietly hid in a dim corner: "You can kill, but in the end, I, the old fisherman, will benefit. It's really unexpected that my demon clan has such good fortune. As soon as we arrive, there is a supreme treasure. This space has been visited by Taoist and Confucian scholars countless times, but only when my demon clan enters does the supreme treasure appear. Why should this treasure belong to my demon clan?"

  Yi Xiao stood quietly, motionless: "Who can get this treasure after all? Chen Jiu will not be willing to give up the treasure, who is Chen Jiu's opponent?"

  Just as the atmosphere among the crowd was becoming increasingly tense, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and people from all three sides furrowed their brows: "There's still another force?"

  The leader was a slender young man in purple clothes, saying that he was a young man was somewhat uplifting, and it should be said that he was an adolescent.

  However, its momentum is extraordinary, and its noble air naturally overflows.

  Next to him was a girl with big eyes, clear black and white, and a slightly cute baby fat on her face.

  Behind him was a Taoist priest from Fang Xian, which is an absolutely unusual combination.

  "Brother Chen!" cried out Chen Yi from one side.

  Chen Jiu glanced at the Confucian scholars filling the mountain, smiled lightly, and walked to another mountain peak to stand still.

  "What's going on?" everyone present asked in unison.

  The situation has become even more complicated now.

  "Isn't that a surplus? He actually mixed with Chen Jiu, this matter is absolutely not simple, everyone should be careful." said the young Daoist who led the way.

  "Brother Chen, why didn't you come over? Everyone is here to grab the treasure. The ones behind you are Fang Xian Dao cultivators, how did you end up standing with them?" Chen Yi asked from the side.

  "Who are you to question me? Look at your own status, don't think that just because a group of people are cheering for you, you can be arrogant." Chen Jiu's words were merciless.

  At this crucial moment of treasure snatching, if you still care about morality, etiquette and brotherly affection, then you are the biggest fool under heaven.

  Chen Yi's face turned red with excitement, originally he wanted to use his reputation for righteousness to coerce Chen Jiu into joining his team, and then when the time was right, he would take possession of the treasure, as the leader of this team, the treasure would naturally be in his care, and then he would return it to the academy, as long as he could get Chen Jiu to hand over the treasure, didn't he still have a chance to monopolize it for himself?

  "Brother Chen, you must think carefully. Colluding with Fang Xian is a serious crime. How will you explain it to the Academy and to all Confucians under heaven?" Chen Yi continued.

  As soon as this was said, the complexion of Fang Xian's Taoist priest behind Chen Jiu changed greatly. Justice is a great mountain wherever it is, and I don't know if Chen Jiu can bear the pressure or have that courage.

  With a calm and relaxed expression, without any worries, if Chen Jiu were to be bound by worldly laws, would he still be the Chen Jiu with the demeanor of a saint?

  "Chen Yi, if you dare to hesitate for half a word, do you believe I will disregard our friendship as classmates and kill you right now?" Chen Jiu's words were not a joke. In the howling mountain wind, Chen Jiu's purple robe rustled, and his killing intent involuntarily spread out.

  Everyone present could feel this murderous aura, and these words were absolutely no joke.

  Chen Yi shut his mouth, but with a hint of unwillingness to show weakness, he said: "Since that's the case, for the sake of our Confucian treasure not falling into external forces' hands, when we meet again on a narrow road, don't blame us for not showing mercy".

  Li Xinyu on Chen Jiu's side wanted to persuade him, after all this was not a trivial matter of righteousness and reputation, but was waved away by Chen Jiu.

  "You? Haha, it's really laughable. You are just yourself, don't drag all the students present into this. You are not a whole entity, and you can't represent their interests." Chen Jiu's words instantly corrected Chen Yi's twisted concept and confusing language.

  Not everyone has the guts to be an enemy of Chen Jiu, right?

  "You, you...," felt the commotion of the scholars behind him, Chen Yi's conspiracy was exposed, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointing at Chen Jiu.

  "I don't care if you're Fang Xian or a Confucian scholar, as long as we are on opposing sides. If you dare to make a move against me, I won't show any mercy or consider our past friendship. Anyone who falls into my hands will only have one path - death. Think carefully now, can you escape my grasp?"

  After a pause, Chen Jiu continued: "If you are of one mind with me and get close to me, whether you are Fang Xian Dao or Confucius, you can come behind me. When the time comes, I will kill the enemy together with you. You must understand that I am the number one strong man. Following a strong man, no matter how chaotic the situation is, there is always the greatest chance of survival."

  After finishing speaking, Chen stood quietly there, motionless.

  As soon as Chen Ji spoke these words, he not only implicated Fang Xian Dao but also dragged the Confucian scholar into it.

  "What he said is all false, don't believe his nonsense," Fang Xian and Chen Yi said separately.

  But can human hearts be stopped?

  Unexpectedly, Yi Xiao suddenly walked a few steps and arrived at Chen Jiu's side: "Chen Jiu, I'm joining you, do you have any objections?"

  Chen Jiu looked at Yi Xiao Xiang, his eyes with an unclear meaning, nodded: "Good".

  Yi Xiao stood behind Chen Jiu, following the trend.

  Seeing the first master and the second master unite, one-third of the Confucian students ran over. There was no ill intention, no betrayal or disloyalty. Chen Jiu was also a student of the academy, but most importantly, he was the leader of the academy. Following him not only provided security, but it seemed even more legitimate and reasonable.

  Watching the Confucian scholars leave, Chen Yi's face turned iron-green. Meanwhile, about one-third of the Fang Xian Dao cultivators also came over, so now the three forces were evenly matched in terms of numbers.
