What group are you guys?

Chapter 634 What's the point of risking your life for just a few hundred dollars?

Qingliang Mountain was originally a scenic spot in Liangzhou, known as the No. 1 Grotto Heaven in Northwest China.

Later, Xu Xiao took a fancy to this place and wanted to include the entire Qingliang Mountain within the palace. So he sent people to send away all the original residents of Qingliang Mountain.

Li Chungang hid on Qingliang Mountain back then. Years ago, due to a feud between two families, he mistakenly killed his wife, so he drew a circle around himself and imprisoned himself on Qingliang Mountain until he died.

Xu Xiao sent thousands of men up the mountain, but they were all killed by Li Chungang. So, Xu Xiao went up the mountain himself and offered to dig a hole for Li Chungang to live in underground, so that he would not be breaking his oath!
Anyone with a normal IQ would probably not agree to such a request, but it's clear that Li Chungang's IQ is abnormal, and he actually agreed.

There used to be a large lake at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. Xu Xiao sent people to build an island in the center of the lake, and on the island, a nine-story pagoda was built, which was called Tingchao Pavilion.

To enter Tingchao Pavilion, you either need to fly there using your unparalleled lightness skill, or you need to row there in a small boat.

However, no matter where one tries to enter Tingchao Pavilion, one must be exposed to the sight of thousands of crossbowmen around. Therefore, over the years, countless people have tried to steal the scriptures from the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, but almost no one has been able to reach Tingchao Pavilion alive.

"This is an inescapable trap!"

Looking at the pagoda in the center of the island, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

With his current strength, flying to the top of the tower is no problem for him, and even those hidden archers cannot pose any threat to him.

After all, his greatest strength is defense. Because he is afraid of pain and death, he would choose a few defensive techniques to practice in each of his worlds.

While each person may have only learned a little bit, the cumulative effect is quite frightening.

Those armor-piercing arrows specifically designed to deal with top-tier experts were like mosquito bites to him. It felt like he could now take Barrett bullets with his face just by relying on his skin alone. If you were to consider his bones and muscles, even anti-tank rockets wouldn't cause him any serious damage.

The reason he chose to avoid Li Chungang last time was not because he was afraid of being killed by him, but mainly because he was afraid of getting hurt!
As the terrifying upright ape believes, if you can't clear the level without taking damage, then your strength is not enough and you need to continue to play it safe.

While he could fly directly across the hundreds of meters of lake surface, what about Yu Youwei?
Are you just going to leave her here?
Not to mention that this girl will definitely run away, as soon as I enter Tingchao Pavilion, those hidden experts from the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion will probably come and take her away or kill her!
After all, Yu Youwei isn't Jiang Ni; those guys won't give her any special treatment.

As for taking Yu Youwei with him and flying over there?

Those crossbow bolts had no effect on him, but Yu Youwei probably would be finished if she even touched them.

Besides, she has such a heavy burden as a milk armor user, even if she wanted to cover it up, she couldn't!

So now all we can do is some futile effort.

Ultraman suddenly took to the air, and just when everyone thought he was going to fly directly to the Listening to the Tide Pavilion in the middle of the lake, he unexpectedly flew around the lake.

At the same time, various strange light waves were constantly emanating from his hands.

'Boom boom boom—boom boom—' Yu Youwei covered her ears tightly with both hands. She felt like her brain was about to explode. The violent explosion and shockwave caused the entire Qingliang Mountain to shake. Even the Tingchao Pavilion in the middle of the lake was now swaying from side to side.

Fortunately, no craftsmen dared to cut corners when the Listening to the Tide Pavilion was built, otherwise it would definitely have collapsed!

This scene, which resembled a natural disaster caused by an earth dragon turning over, was actually caused by human power. Not only was Yu Youwei dumbfounded, but even the experts from the Northern Liang Royal Palace who were originally hiding in the shadows were stunned.

The masters in this world can destroy the world at will, but those are just visual effects. But Ultraman's attack around the lake directly blasted the entire Qingliang Lake into a larger circle!
All the archers who were originally hiding by the lake, along with their shelters, were blown out. Thousands of archers were blown to pieces, and only a few survivors are still lying in the ruins groaning.

Yu Youwei squatted on the ground, covering her ears with her hands and panting heavily with her mouth open. She felt her head buzzing, and it seemed that her eardrums and the corners of her eyes were starting to bleed.

There's no way around it; she's just a plaything raised to be a decorative object. Forget about martial arts training, she's probably been fed drugs since childhood, and her physical condition is even worse than that of an average person.

Even though Li Qingyuan had tried his best to avoid her, the aftershocks of the series of explosions still injured her.

In her blurred vision, Yu Youwei only saw a pair of feet appear in front of her, and then she was suddenly thrown into the air.

Seeing Ultraman carrying the young master's courtesan directly towards the Listening Tide Pavilion, the hidden masters looked at each other and all chose to remain still.

Admittedly, the target is currently in mid-air and has a burden in his hands, making it the perfect time for assassination. However, the strength the opponent just displayed far exceeded everyone's expectations.

After all, the most loyal group of experts from the very beginning had already died the moment the enemy invaded.

Why do people say that morality has declined? Isn't it because those who value loyalty and follow the rules are the first to die?
When all those with principles and beliefs are gone, what remains are naturally a bunch of sycophants.

Everyone is just here at the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion to make a living for various reasons, why risk your life?

Unlike the soldiers who were ready to die and believed that the prince was the best leader in the world, these experts had their own thoughts and naturally knew that if they died here, they would not even get the slightest benefit.

If the infiltrator of the Prince's mansion was just an ordinary first-rate expert, then everyone would fight bravely and kill him. When it came time to reward merit, even the fallen would receive a fairly good reward, because the King of Beiliang needed to put on a show and wanted the remaining people to continue to work for him.

However, since the enemy stormed into the palace, thousands of soldiers have been killed, and dozens of experts have also been killed. Moreover, the enemy shows no signs of fatigue. It is clear that even if all of them rush in, they will not be able to change anything in the end.

In this situation, after making so many sacrifices without achieving any substantial results, how could Xu Xiao, given his personality, possibly provide generous compensation to the victims?

Keep dreaming! The fact that he even provided you with a coffin is already a sign of his kindness today!

As for Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, the soldiers and commoners below him were naturally deceived by the small favors and lies he fabricated. However, these second and third-rank experts were not illiterate fools, and naturally knew his character.
