Chapter 103 Shameless Scoundrel (Part Two)

There are only five of us left on Qingyang Peak.

If we turn against her now, not only will we fail to save Senior Sister Duanmu, but we might also get ourselves into trouble. Let's wait and see.

Thinking of this, he fell silent.

Pang Sicheng continued in an unfriendly tone, "So, Junior Brother Gu? Are you going out to provide backup, or will you follow my orders?"

Gu Xiaolin lowered his head and said, "Senior Brother Pang must have his own reasons. I will follow Senior Brother Pang's instructions."

Pang Sicheng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, those who understand the times are wise."

These scenes were witnessed by Duanmu Yao and the others.

Cui Youliang cursed under his breath, and Lu Yunhe and Jin Mengxue's faces also darkened.

Duanmu Yao's anger surged even higher, and she coldly said, "Pang Sicheng, what do you mean by not letting us enter the great formation? Do you intend to openly harm your fellow disciples?"

In fact, she had already anticipated this, and her master had also warned her that Elder Pang's faction would definitely cause trouble during the trial.

But to everyone's surprise, Pang Sicheng was so bold as to seal the formation in front of everyone, forcing them to wait outside to die.

Pang Sicheng shook his head, his face still bearing an innocent expression: "Junior Sister Duanmu, don't talk nonsense. How could I harm my fellow disciples? I'm doing this for the greater good. You guys hold off the demons outside while we repair the magic array inside. The two of us work together seamlessly."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yao was so angry that she was practically fuming. She cursed inwardly: I have never seen such a shameless person.

He was the one who occupied the formation and prevented us from entering, yet he kept saying it was for the greater good.

But she couldn't turn against them; the number of monsters around them was increasing, and if things dragged on any longer, the whole team would be doomed.

Suppressing her anger, she patiently said, "Senior Brother Pang, we've held off the demons for a while now. Can we go in now?"

Pang Sicheng shook his head again, and slowly said, "Junior Sister Duanmu, don't be in a hurry. Let me finish. Some time ago, my Pang family patriarch asked me to become your cultivation partner. I wonder what your decision is?"

Duanmu Yao's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at him, gritting her teeth as she said, "Pang Sicheng, you—"

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear: You're shameless enough to use this to blackmail me.

But she swallowed her words: "Senior Brother Pang, Master has already refused. Besides, now is not the time to discuss this."

Everyone looked at Pang Sicheng with a strange expression: they never expected that the sect's prodigy would be so shameless as to use the matter of dual cultivation as a form of blackmail. Pang Sicheng really knows how to pick his time.

It seems that the rumors circulating in the sect about the evil deeds he committed were true.

Sensing the strange looks from his fellow disciples, Pang Sicheng remained unmoved, his expression still leisurely: "Dual cultivation is a major matter in cultivation, especially at this crucial moment. You need to think it through carefully. Even if not for yourself, you should think about your fellow disciples."

Duanmu Yao stared at him, speechless: This guy not only threatened me, but he also used the lives of his fellow disciples to blackmail me.

The implication was that if I didn't agree, he wouldn't let us in, making it seem like I had caused the death of my fellow disciples.

This is not just shameless, it's downright worse than pigs and dogs.

She took a deep breath, her mind racing: He's right. Even if I'm not afraid of death, what about my fellow disciples?

Furthermore, this trial is related to the distribution of benefits among the various sects.

If we fail at the last minute, how can I explain to my master? The sect is beset by internal and external troubles; we cannot afford to lose again.

Just as he was thinking this, his teammates behind him had already had enough and couldn't stand it anymore.

Cui Youliang shouted angrily, "Senior Sister Duanmu, don't agree to him! Even if we die, we won't let you suffer this kind of injustice!"

Lu Yunhe echoed with a stern face, "That's right! The worst that can happen is we die here!"

As a fellow female cultivator, Jin Mengxue retorted directly, "Using such a thing to blackmail your fellow disciples, Pang Sicheng, do you even deserve to be a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Zhou Ziheng and the others also supported Duanmu Yao, and no one backed down.

Having gone through numerous life-or-death battles, this team had developed a deep trust in each other, to the point where they could entrust their backs to one another. How could they bear to let their senior sister agree to such a thing?!

Duanmu Yao was slightly moved, but she still shook her head.

After much deliberation, she chose to remain silent: "The matter of dual cultivation requires Master's approval. But if you can make great contributions to the sect, Master will consider it, and I will do my best to make it happen."

She said that, but what she really thought was: You beast, if I enter the formation, I will definitely find a chance to kill you.

Even if I can't kill you, once the trial is over, I will definitely report to my master and make you regret it.

As fellow prodigies of their respective sects, Pang Sicheng naturally knew that this was Duanmu Yao's delaying tactic, but he was quite pleased with it: This little bitch, wasn't she usually quite arrogant?

Now you know how to give in, huh? Hmph, just wait and see how I make you pay!

He nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. So many people have heard it, I believe that Junior Sister Duanmu will not go back on her word for the sake of the bigger picture."

Suppressing her anger, Duanmu Yao said, "Senior Brother Pang, can you release the formation now and let us in?"

More and more monsters gathered behind them, the pack of demonic wolves roared, several Claw Demons were flanking from the flanks, and the demonic bats and flying ants in the air were also stirring.

If this drags on any longer, they really won't be able to hold on any longer.

However, Pang Sicheng still shook his head and said, "Let's leave the matter of our dual cultivation for now."

But then he changed the subject: "But there's one more thing you need to help me with."

Duanmu Yao's heart sank, thinking to herself: I knew you beast wouldn't agree so easily.

She asked in a cold voice, "Is there anything else?"

Pang Sicheng's gaze suddenly sharpened as he turned to Shen Li in the crowd, pointing a finger at her: "Junior Sister Duanmu, this man is a spy from the Tai Xuan Sect who has infiltrated our Heavenly Demon Sect. I want you to kill him immediately."

Undercover?

Shen Li is actually a spy for the Tai Xuan Sect?

Where does this come from?

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Li, stunned.

A storm raged within Shen Li: How did he know? Had my identity been exposed? Impossible. Otherwise, the sect leader or Elder Pang would never have let me go.

His mind raced, and he quickly figured out the whole thing: Pang Sicheng was definitely settling a personal score. Whether I was an undercover agent or not, he would pin this blame on me.

We must not let him succeed.

Furthermore, this guy is making things difficult for everyone, probably trying to take the opportunity to kill everyone.

Dual cultivation and infiltration are just pretexts. Even if Duanmu Yao agrees to his request, he will find other excuses.

Since that's the case, I don't need to be polite to him anymore.

Shen Li immediately retorted angrily, "Pang Sicheng, you're spouting nonsense! If I were an undercover agent, why would I enter such a dangerous place as Fengmo Ravine? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

Besides, everyone knows how well I performed, having fought alongside the team. You're just settling a personal score and trying to kill us on purpose!

Cui Youliang and the others, who already had some doubts about Pang Sicheng's words, immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, Junior Brother Shen has turned the tide many times, how could he be an undercover agent?

Shouldn't an undercover agent keep a low profile and protect their life? There's no need for them to enter the Demon Sealing Gorge, where the mortality rate is extremely high; this simply doesn't make sense.

Yes, it must be Pang Sicheng deliberately making things difficult and framing him.
