Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2678: Chapter 79: Strange

Bi Jie could see it, this Dan Zhu, outwardly seemed benevolent, but in reality, he was truly a ”black-hearted” thing.

Indeed, from the beginning, he was using the pretext of rescuing people to attempt to steal the Shugu Secret Store from the Bi Fang Tribe.

Otherwise, why would the few hundred lowly Danque Tribe People be worth his personal risk of coming to their rescue?

Now that the people have been saved, he started pretending and hesitating.

Damn it, he really is a hypocritical thing.

Bi Jie’s face was as cold as water, ”Dan Zhu, are you going back on your word?”

Ever since he was a child, Dan Zhu had been honest and kind, always keeping his promises, and was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to face Bi Jie’s questioning.

Mo Hua sighed softly in his heart.

A young man with a thin face like this doesn’t even know how to tell a lie.

Mo Hua displayed a solemn expression and slowly said, ”Young Master Dan Zhu, with kindness in your heart and benevolence to save lives, doesn’t wish for you to perish here; the Young Master is saving you.”

Bi Jie’s gaze was icy, staring straight at Mo Hua, ”What do you mean?”

Mo Hua then sternly said:

”In this Stone Palace, a great evil has descended, it is a place of great horror. Although the Divine Lord bestowed His grace, and I, using the Divine Lord’s power, exterminated this great evil, the curse of the evil remains in the hall.”

”Rushing in, if evil thoughts enter the brain, at best will lose one’s mind, at worst... just like Elder Cang, you will become a puppet of evil thoughts, a man-eating beast, forever trapped in the path of beasts, with no chance of redemption.”

Mo Hua’s face was full of compassion.

Bi Jie naturally was not deceived, pointing at the barbarian slaves behind Mo Hua, questioned:

”Then let me ask you, why are your barbarian slaves unaffected, not turned into man-eating beasts?”

Mo Hua calmly replied, ”They followed my guidance, thus the Divine Lord protected them.”

Anyway, it’s all about what he says; whatever he claims becomes truth.

Whatever he wants to do is guided by the Divine Lord, whatever he doesn’t is warned by the Divine Lord.

Bi Jie was enraged in his heart, cursing Mo Hua for being shameless, then his gaze turned fierce.

The Shugu Secret Store, he must get his hands on it, as it concerns his future ambitions and plans.

Bi Jie activated the magic treasure, the Fiery Blade of Bi Fang Black Evil, which flashed with fierce light, accompanied by the shriek of a fierce bird, and murderous intent surged.

Mo Hua’s gaze narrowed, questioning him:

”Does the Bi Fang Tribe intend to defy the Divine Lord’s will?”

Bi Jie coldly laughed in his heart.

Do you claim the Divine Lord’s will is a divine edict? What are you anyway?

”Charge into the great hall, kill whoever stands in the way!”

After Bi Jie gave the order, he turned his head, only to find the Bi Fang Tribe barbarian soldiers behind him looking fearful, hesitating to move forward.

They seemed to fear ”Shaman Lord,” and also the ”curse” mentioned by the Shaman Lord.

Thus, even with Bi Jie’s order, they dared not make a move.

Some even whispered, ”If we go against the Shaman Lord, won’t we be subjected to Divine Punishment?”

”This is the Shaman Lord.”

”The Shaman Lord, can we afford to offend?”

”The Shaman Lord possesses great Divine Skills.”

”The Shaman Lord...”

These repeated mentions of ”Shaman Lord” made Bi Jie burn with anger.

Having met the Shaman before, Bi Jie knew very well that Mo Hua could never be a Shaman.

He just didn’t expect this damned Foundation Establishment pretty face, merely by walking through the Stone Palace, saving a few people, and saying some grandiose words, could deceive everyone so, generating such prestige, even making the Bi Fang Tribe soldiers unwilling to oppose him, and even showing signs of ”switching allegiance.”

Damn, truly a born ”religious con man.”

With such a ”con man” following Dan Zhu, beguiling people, he would surely become a major threat in the future.

He must be killed...

Bi Jie was filled with murderous intent.

But with the tribe’s minds unsettled, Bi Jie had no choice.

At this time, in the crowd, an elder of the Bi Fang Tribe with grey-white eyes quietly said:

”Young Master, the situation is unfavorable, let’s think this over carefully.”

Bi Jie glanced at Dan Zhu, then at Mo Hua, while also sensing the battle intent of the Danque Tribe Barbarian General Chi Feng, gritted his teeth, and nodded slowly:

”Alright...”

”Let’s retreat for now...” Bi Jie said coldly, then said no more, just with a venomous gaze and a sullen face, he led the Bi Fang Tribe away from the valley where the Shugu Skill Department was located.

After Bi Jie left, Dan Zhu breathed a little easier.

Although he was a peerless genius, in age, cultivation, and in sinister scheming and methods, he still lagged slightly behind Bi Jie.

Therefore, Bi Jie brought him a great deal of pressure.

Not just Dan Zhu, even the two guard elders, Ba Shan and Ba Chuan, felt a sense of relief.

In contrast, the Barbarian General Chi Feng looked a bit serious.

If Bi Jie had struck now, fought with the Danque Tribe, it would rather be a good thing for the Danque Tribe.

But Bi Jie did not attack and instead retreated.

This indicated that Bi Jie was not as arrogant and dismissive as he seemed. Those skilled in endurance are the most difficult to deal with.

After Bi Jie left, he would by no means let it rest.

This storm was far from over.

...

Afterwards, the Danque Tribe people started simply dealing with the aftermath.

Dan Zhu stepped forward and comforted the Danque Tribe People, who had suffered much pain and despair, allowing them to rest for a while.

The Danque Tribe Barbarian Soldiers guarded outside the valley of the Shugu Department.

Mo Hua then led Dan Zhu and others into the Stone Palace, arriving before the Shugu Department’s storehouse.

Seeing before them, room after room, piles of Barbarian Armor like small mountains, along with skeletal leather and other military materials.

Dan Zhu, Chi Feng, and the others were all in awe.

They finally understood why the Bi Fang Tribe was so insistent on forcefully conquering this Stone Palace to annex the Shugu Skill Department.
