The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 3023 Who is the mastermind?

Faced with this situation.

Zheng Tuo had something on his mind.

Looks like someone's stirring up trouble!

Clearly, someone is using the powerful allure of the nine primordial Dao patterns to lure the four powerful figures opposite him into attacking him and killing him here.

strange?
who is it?

White Elephant has died in battle, Old Dog and Demon Immortal are no longer alive, and White Lotus's infant form is unconscious.

Could it be that...

Are there any other powerful figures within this third-tier White Lotus Divine Array?

This is why he did not act rashly.

For him, taking away the nine original Dao patterns at this moment would immediately subject him to an attack from the four people in front of him.

He was not afraid of the four men and could fight them, but there was no need for it.

Even if he kills four ancient relics, he will likely be seriously injured. Wouldn't that give the person secretly manipulating him an advantage?

He had such plans.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Godslayer."

At this moment, Man Shan called out and spoke to Zheng Tuo in a very familiar manner.

"Fellow Daoists, how did you get into this place?"

Zheng Tuo got straight to the point, expressing his curiosity about why the other party had entered this place.

Logically speaking...

The White Lotus Divine Array has three levels. Unless someone activates the array, it is impossible for anyone from the outside world to enter the array.

“We came in the same way you came in,” Zhang Qi said at this moment.

“That’s right! Fellow Daoist Godslayer, how did you get in?” Wang Wu chimed in, asking Zheng Tuo how he had entered.

While speaking.

Wang Wu stepped forward, trying to get closer to speak with Zheng Tuo.

As Wang Wu approached Zheng Tuo, the group was surprised to find that they were actually able to get close to the location of the original Dao pattern, which was no longer as far away as the horizon.

This unexpected turn of events prompted all four powerful figures to move forward.

Seeing the four Wall Breakers walking towards him, Zheng Tuo thought for a moment and didn't touch the nine primordial Dao patterns in front of him.

He knew perfectly well that if he took away the nine original Dao patterns, these four ancient beings in front of him would definitely attack him directly.

The four of them can each receive two of the nine original Dao patterns, and the remaining one can be exchanged for a life-extending item, which is more important than anything else to the old antique.

Wang Wu and the other four powerful figures stopped not far from Zheng Tuo.

The original Dao pattern was right between the two sides, and it seemed that they could take it away with just a wave of their hands.

In a short time.

Zhang Qi, Wang Wu, Man Shan, and Niu Qianhua were all extremely envious of the nine primordial Dao patterns.

Zheng Tuo witnessed all of this.

He did not move the nine original Dao bodies.

In fact, in his calculations, even if the four people in front of him took all the original Dao patterns, he would not stop them in any way.

First of all.

This group of people can't get out.

They had been trapped here for a long time without finding an exit, and it was unlikely that these people would find an exit easily either.

Yes.

If someone was secretly plotting this, attempting to use the four of them to kill him, then that person would never allow these four ancient beings to take away the nine primordial Dao patterns.

No matter how strong an expert is, even one at the ninth level of the Breakthrough Realm, they wouldn't casually give away nine primordial Dao patterns.

With this mindset.

He did not touch the nine primordial Dao patterns in front of him.

Seeing that Zheng Tuo did not move, Wang Wu and his group of four did not dare to make any rash moves.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, what's the deal with these nine primordial Dao patterns?" Zhang Qi asked.

"I don't know why there are nine primordial Dao patterns here. Do you know why?"

Zheng Tuo's question alerted the four old fogies.

Wang Wu and his companions had already suspected that someone was setting a trap, and now they believed that it was Zheng Tuo who was behind it.

The fact that Zheng Tuo didn't take away any of the nine original Dao patterns is somewhat strange. They could understand if he took one or two, but he didn't take any of the nine original Dao patterns at all.

This is also why they refrained from taking the original Dao patterns.

They sensed something was wrong, so they didn't dare to take any rash action.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, since we are both trapped here, why don’t we divide these nine primordial Dao patterns first?”

Manshan seemed rather agitated.

no way.

Ancient artifacts don't have much lifespan left. If they happen to encounter primordial Dao patterns, even if they don't use them themselves, they can still exchange them for items to prolong their lives.

"Gentlemen, if you want to take it yourselves, why ask me?"

Zheng Tuo had no intention of touching any of the original Dao patterns.

If it were just one or two original Dao patterns, he would take them directly. But with nine appearing at once, even a fool would know there must be great danger involved.

Zheng Tuo's words immediately stopped Man Shan, who was about to take action.

He Manshan wasn't stupid. Nine primordial Dao patterns were right here, yet this Godslayer remained unmoved. Clearly, there was something seriously wrong here.

In a short time.

The group remained frozen in place, none of them willing to be the first to touch the nine primordial Dao patterns.

That being the case.

Zhang Qi directly summoned a Daoist body.

He didn't take it himself, but let the Dao Body take the original Dao pattern.

Such actions were closely watched by the group.

Zhang Qidao stepped closer and closer to the original Dao patterns.

Unowned primordial Dao patterns have no offensive power, and the surrounding pressure is not significant.

that's it.

Zhang Qi approached a primordial Dao pattern, then made his move and smoothly pocketed it.

"what?"

So simple, without any danger, that original Dao pattern was taken into my possession.

Zhang Qi himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Without hesitation, Zhang Qi immediately used his Dao Body to take away two original Dao patterns.

Upon seeing this, Wang Wu, Man Shan, and Niu Qianhua all immediately summoned their Dao bodies and used them to take away the remaining original Dao patterns.

however.

During the process of them obtaining the original Dao patterns.

The space not far away rippled, and then a person emerged from it.

Ding Dafeng emerged from the mist and witnessed Zhang Qi and his three companions plotting to obtain the original Dao patterns.

"Seventh Brother, Old Wang, you've arrived."

By the time Ding Dafeng greeted them, the four powerful figures had already divided up all the original Dao patterns.

The nine original Dao patterns disappeared in the blink of an eye, which immediately surprised Ding Dafeng!
He didn't react, but instead greeted Zhang Qi and Wang Wu warmly.

"Da Feng, you're here too!"

Zhang Qi was incredibly clever.

The phrase "You're here too" directly severs the relationship between the two parties, preventing conflict due to the original Dao patterns.

"I……"

Just as Ding Dafeng was about to speak, the space not far away began to writhe, and then Ding Xiaofeng emerged from it.

Upon seeing Ding Xiaofeng appear, Ding Dafeng immediately told his younger brother what had just happened.

"Old Wang, Old Zhang, you guys came really fast. How did it go? Did you get the original Dao pattern?"

Ding Xiaofeng was also a clever man. He immediately tried to build a closer relationship, saying that it was he who had sought out the two of them to obtain the Primal Dao Patterns, so the Primal Dao Patterns should be shared by the two of them.

A few simple words.

The atmosphere between the two sides immediately became tense.

The first Feng brothers to arrive got nothing, but the later group of four actually took all nine original Dao patterns.

Logically, the nine primordial Dao patterns should have been divided equally among the six of them, one for each, with the remaining three to be used to exchange for life-extending items, which would then be divided equally. However...

Once someone obtains something as valuable as the Primal Dao Patterns, they probably won't take it out easily again.

One original Dao pattern is completely different from two original Dao patterns.

Although the Feng brothers did not ask for it directly, their meaning was clear.

Zhang Qi and Wang Wu exchanged glances, both harboring their own schemes.

On the contrary, Man Shan and Niu Qianhua were not summoned by the Feng brothers, but by Zhang Qi and Wang Wu. Therefore, they held onto the two original Dao patterns in their hands with peace of mind and had no intention of handing them over.

"Gentlemen, we'd better find a way out of here as soon as possible." Niu Qianhua wanted to leave quickly.

Now that she possesses two primordial Dao patterns, if she were to trade one of them, it would at least extend her life by a thousand years.

"Yes, yes, we should leave this place quickly. I have a feeling that something is strange about this place and it's not safe."

Man Shan also spoke up, expressing his stance and willingness to stand with Niu Qianhua.

“Okay, let’s split up and find an exit.” Wang Wu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"and many more!"

Ding Dafeng handed over the people who wanted to leave.

"Seventh Brother, Fifth Brother, what do you mean?"

Ding Dafeng's voice sounded angry.

"Da Feng, what are you doing?"

"Why should I do this? You should know that this place was discovered by my brother and me. We then specifically asked you two to come here to search for treasure and obtain the original Dao patterns."

"Nine original Dao patterns, and my brother and I didn't get a single one. That's not right."

Ding Dafeng cut to the chase.

The situation immediately became tense.

Zheng Tuo stood aside, not getting involved, ready to watch the show.

These old fogies are all quite shrewd; they will never easily reveal what they took.

Besides, those are primordial Dao patterns!
One of the most precious things in the primordial immortal realm, something that countless powerful beings dream of obtaining.

No matter who obtains two original Dao patterns, they will not hand over either one.

Moreover.

These guys are all old-fashioned.

Their lifespans are short, but their original Dao patterns can be exchanged with various Dao lineages for items that extend their lifespan.

For an old relic, the ability to prolong life is more important than anything else.

"Da Feng, I have an extra original Dao pattern here that I can give you. What do you think?"

Zhang Qi had three primordial Dao patterns in his hand, one of which was originally intended to be used to exchange for life-extending items and split equally.

Now that it has been given to the Feng brothers, everyone present is willing, as long as they don't take the original Dao patterns out of their hands.

"One?"

Da Feng was clearly not satisfied with this.

"Two, two for each person, that's my bottom line," Da Feng said directly, demanding the money.

Now that things were out in the open, he stopped hiding them.

He wants to reclaim his original Dao patterns.

"Two?"

The people present were clearly unwilling.

"Gentlemen!" Ding Xiaofeng spoke up, "This place is a treasure land discovered by my brother and me. Logically speaking, we brothers should each have three original Dao patterns, but considering that we are all friends, we brothers will each have two, for a total of four. The remaining five original Dao patterns will each be one of you four. The last original Dao pattern can be exchanged for a life-extending item, and we can split it equally. How about that?"

Ding Xiaofeng had already planned everything out for everyone.

silence.

Zhang Qi and the other three remained silent.

As Zheng Tuo thought, he wouldn't easily take out the old antique he had acquired, let alone the original Dao patterns.

With just a few words from you, Ding Xiaofeng, you turned our two original Dao patterns into one. No one would be willing to accept that.

"this!"

Zhang Qi and Wang Wu were at a loss for what to do.

The two of them were recruited by the Feng brothers, while Manshan and Niu Qianhua were found by the two of them.

So it is calculated that...

Instead, they were caught in the middle.

Due to the uneven distribution of the original Dao patterns, the atmosphere between the two sides became extremely tense.

It looked like a fight could break out at any moment, which prompted Zheng Tuo to retreat.

He didn't want to get involved.

In his view.

These guys were probably deliberately brought in to target us.

If all six Wall Breakers attacked him at the same time, he would probably be in serious trouble.

however.

He had just retreated when Zhang Qi immediately spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, what do you think of this matter?"

Zheng Tuo never expected that Zhang Qi would ask him that question.

"Kill God!"

The Feng brothers immediately showed hostility when they saw Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo glanced at the six people present. They didn't want to antagonize each other, as it wouldn't benefit them in any way.

"Your affairs are none of my concern. I need to find a way to leave this place. Farewell."

Zheng Tuo said this and turned to leave.

"stop!"

The Feng brothers stopped Zheng Tuo.

"Gentlemen, you may not know this, but this fellow Daoist who slays gods possesses the Fountain of Immortality."

"Fountain of Youth!"

moment.

The group's eyes locked onto Zheng Tuo.

The purpose of this group of old-timers coming to this great world is to find the Fountain of Youth.

now.

The Feng brothers actually claimed that the Fountain of Youth was on this god-slayer.

"I do have the Fountain of Youth, but the Fountain itself is not with me," Zheng Tuo replied calmly.

"How many fountains of youth do you have?" Manshan asked.

"The fountain of youth within him is enough to allow a person to live another lifetime," Ding Dafeng quickly revealed, telling the others this secret.

Zheng Tuo paused, then looked at Ding Dafeng.

This Ding Dafeng is really asking for it, revealing his secret here.

"Enough for one person to live a second life!"

These few simple words immediately piqued the interest of the several old-timers present.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, how about this? I'll exchange a Primal Dao Pattern for the Fountain of Immortality," Man Shan exclaimed excitedly.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, I am also willing to exchange a Primal Dao Pattern for the Fountain of Immortality with you.” Niu Qianhua immediately followed suit.

“I am willing to exchange two original Dao patterns for you,” Wang Wu said.

Given the choice between the original Dao patterns and the Fountain of Youth that allows one to live a second life, the ancient beings present would undoubtedly choose the Fountain of Youth that allows one to live a second life.

To know.

The Fountain of Youth is one of the three great divine springs.

It not only gives them a second chance at life, but also reshapes their bones and muscles, making their talents even stronger.

If they were to be reborn using the Fountain of Youth, they might be able to break through to the second level of the Breaker Realm.

If they can reach the second level of the Breaker Realm, they will gain a lifespan of 20,000 years.

For them, whose lifespans are nearing their end, a lifespan of 20,000 years is like a dream.

The people present all expressed their willingness to exchange two original Dao patterns for the Fountain of Immortality with Zheng Tuo.

On the contrary, the Feng brothers were eyeing it covetously, seemingly intent on seizing the Fountain of Youth.
