Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 656 Li Siqi: Oh no, this is coming for me!
Self-sacrifice for the benefit of others—what a noble spirit! Unfortunately, this noble spirit does not belong to a ruthless hero, and Li Siqi is clearly such a ruthless hero. Such a ruthless hero would not possess this noble spirit!

Therefore, Chen Jie dared to gamble, and it seems he even won!
As expected, Li Siqi, a powerful and ruthless figure, lacked the lofty ideal of benefiting others at the expense of himself; he hesitated.

Just then, Damoba walked over and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, calm down. What Chen Jiu Si said may not be false. If what he said is false, that's fine, but if it is true, then we will have to pay with our lives."

"Since the death of General Boluo, our Great Qian's high-end combat power has been severely lacking. If you and I were to die here, Great Qian would be in grave danger. Therefore, Your Highness must not have any risky ideas, absolutely not."

Damoba looked at Li Siqi and said, "Indeed, we can't let this fellow succeed!" Li Siqi looked at Chen Jie, then at Damoba, and nodded, saying, "We definitely can't let this fellow succeed!"

After saying this, Li Siqi turned around and looked at the six third-stage Fusion Gods behind him, saying, "Everyone, are you just going to watch Chen Jiu Si swagger around here? Are you just going to watch this opportunity slip away from us?"

Upon hearing this, someone behind said, "Of course we are unwilling, but Your Highness, as long as you take the lead and I follow, you can take the lion's share of the opportunities that come your way, how about that?"

Li Siqi chuckled and said, "I would like to take the lion's share, but after thinking it over, I think I should give this opportunity to everyone. After all, you have worked hard for so many years, and it has not been easy. I cannot take away what others love."

Upon hearing this, the fourth-stage Fusion God behind him looked displeased. He cursed Li Siqi, that old fox, inwardly. Li Siqi was always thinking good things. He said he was afraid to go, but he insisted on portraying his cowardice as something good. If he didn't know Li Siqi well, he would have been fooled by his hypocrisy.

Thinking this way, no one moved. Each had their own ulterior motives, though they didn't say it outright. They all understood that no one wanted to be the one to stick their neck out.

Chen Jie's gaze swept over the crowd, and he already understood. These guys definitely didn't want to be the first to stick their necks out. Since that was the case, he would provoke them a little more.

Thinking this, Chen Jie said, "What, isn't anyone willing to test my mettle? Or are you all planning to cower in fear?"

"I don't understand either. It's understandable that the King of Qi is unwilling to be the first to step forward. After all, he is a regional hegemon with two territories under his control. When the Great Qian Dynasty collapses, he will at least be a local emperor who controls the northwest. Why do you all want to sit on the throne?"

"Since you don't have a throne to sit on, why don't you give it a try? Just consider it working for King Qi. If King Qi really becomes emperor in the future, who knows, he might build a temple for you in memory, hahaha..."

Chen Jie laughed loudly. Upon hearing this, someone angrily shouted, "Chen Jiu Si, what nonsense are you talking about? Why should we risk our lives for Li Si Qi? He's not our master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That's not a good idea. You're unwilling to take action, and the King of Qi is also very protective of his life. Are you just going to stay here and waste your time?"

Chen Jie looked at them, and everyone else looked at Li Siqi. Someone said, "King Qi, why don't you set an example for us?"

Li Siqi's face was grim, but he still maintained a smile and said, "Don't fall for his tricks, everyone. He did it on purpose to sow discord among us. Don't be fooled."

“Your Highness, we understand the reasoning, but we need a leader. I think Your Highness is very suitable to be that leader. Why don’t you just take action and shut him up, and we will follow up. We will make sure that Your Highness is not fighting alone.”

Everyone looked at Li Siqi, who frowned deeply. Damoba, standing beside him, also said with a headache, "This is not a good time to deal with this situation!"

Li Siqi thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, I'm not going up there."

Chen Jie's words struck a chord with him. As long as the Great Qian Dynasty fell, no, there was no need for the Great Qian Dynasty to fall at all. Right now, he already controlled more than 30 prefectures in the two northwestern routes and had 150,000 wolf soldiers under his command. With such power, what problem would there be in forming his own country?

So why would someone of his status risk his life? Although this opportunity is rare, there are other opportunities to advance to the fourth level. The world is in chaos, and great calamities are happening everywhere. Opportunities are everywhere. As long as you live, there will definitely be opportunities. Why should he give up his life here?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. He wouldn't give up his life here so easily.

Having figured this out, Li Siqi looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, don't be arrogant. Once we leave this land beyond the pass, the power of the fox spirit won't be able to reach you. Then you'll know that we're not to be trifled with."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie laughed and said, "Even if my dog ​​can't beat someone, it will still bark and bark. It's just fooling itself!"

"you!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Li Siqi's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Jiu Si, you and I will eventually have a battle. I hope you will still be so arrogant then."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Alright, let's have a fight then, and see who dies faster."

"But what do you mean now? You're not going to fight or retreat. What's the logic behind this? Are you just going to stick to me like a leech?"

Chen Jie looked at the group of people in front of him, and they all frowned. Suddenly someone said, "Brother, although we have never met, we have heard of your name. Chen Jiu Si of Mianshui, a hero indeed."

"We came here this time hoping to seize an opportunity, and now that opportunity is right in front of us, we wonder if you could share some of the profits with us."

"As long as you are willing to share the profits, we will absolutely not be your enemy. Even after leaving this dragon vein, our forces will not be your enemies in Huangzhou Prefecture. Is that alright?"

These words immediately garnered a lot of support. This group of third-stage Molten Gods had come here to seize this opportunity, and now that it was right in front of them, they were absolutely unwilling to let them leave. However, they clearly couldn't win in a fight, so they could only take advantage of Chen Jiu's youth and lack of experience to see if they could get some benefits out of him.

That's why they talk like that.

Hearing what these people said, Li Siqi was full of disdain. These guys were obviously not very bright. Was Chen Jiu Si an ordinary person? Trying to fool him was harder than climbing to heaven. He had fought with Chen Jiu Si for many years and had often been overwhelmed by Chen Jiu Si's wisdom. These old guys hiding in the deep mountains, with their rigid minds, thought they could fool Chen Jiu Si?
He was very pessimistic about it.

Chen Jie then laughed and said, "Hahaha... What this gentleman says is very true. We came to the Dragon Vein seeking an opportunity, how could we come empty-handed?"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, the man immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha... Brother Jiu Si is indeed a hero, he understands so quickly!"

Chen Jie then asked, "Yes, may I ask this gentleman's name?"

At this moment, the man clasped his hands and said, "I dare not call myself 'sir.' When I was traveling the martial arts world, I had a nickname: Thunderbolt Hand Qin Tai!"

"Master Qin, very good. Since you say that you have come here to seek an opportunity, I wholeheartedly agree. I have also come here to seek this opportunity, and now that the opportunity is in my hands, that is true. However, this opportunity has not come easily."

"I first fought two fourth-level Molten Gods, and then defeated that Golden Toad from beyond the pass, before I had the chance to obtain this opportunity. It's not an exaggeration to say that I survived by the skin of my teeth, is it?" Qin Tai frowned slightly upon hearing this, but seeing the look in Chen Jie's eyes, he said, "It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration."

"Very well, I fought tooth and nail for this opportunity. Now that you all want a share, then there's a deal to be made. You're not just thinking of sharing this opportunity with a few words, are you? Do you have to offer something in return?"

Qin Tai frowned upon hearing this and said, "Young Hero Chen..."

Chen Jieli raised his hand and said, "Hero Qin, even a hero can't be selfless. No matter how young I am, I won't give you this opportunity just because you call me a hero. I'm not that stupid!"

Qin Tai frowned deeply at Chen Jie's words, but still smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Hehe, yes, young brother is absolutely right."

After waving his hand, Qin Tai continued, "Here are some insights into palm techniques that I have written down. I have heard that you are skilled in the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture. I believe that my insights into palm techniques can improve your palm techniques. How about I exchange this for a fortuitous opportunity?"

After hearing Qin Tai's words, the others also spoke up, saying, "We can exchange too; we also have the essentials of the cultivation techniques."

The essence of cultivation techniques—this group really has a good plan. At Chen Jie's level, the need for cultivation techniques is not as great as before. After they reach the second or third stage of the Fusion God realm, apart from their core cultivation techniques, other people's cultivation techniques can at most be used as references, and it is impossible for them to modify them.

It's like Qin Tai giving his Thunderbolt Hand technique to Chen Jie. Could Chen Jie really give up the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms or even the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique and switch to practicing his Thunderbolt Hand?

Therefore, offering that level of skill manual to someone is clearly an attempt to get something for nothing.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Damoba said to Li Siqi, "These people are really daring. Trading cultivation techniques for opportunities. It might be possible for those below the Fusion God level, but who would be foolish enough to trade with them for such techniques above the Fusion God level?"

Li Siqi said, "Hehe, that's just how people are. They can't bear to part with their wealth. How could they possibly exchange their real treasures for this opportunity? Besides, Chen Jiu Si is clearly not sincere. He's just playing with these greedy people."

"Ah, you mean even if they actually offer something useful, Chen Jiu Si won't exchange it?"

"Change? How could I possibly change? Chen Jiu Si isn't stupid. Would you change it if you were him?"

Li Siqi asked Damoba, who pondered for a moment and said, "Probably not."

“That’s right. Although I don’t really like the hypocrisy of the Han people, there’s a saying among them: ‘Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.’ I think it makes perfect sense.”

Damopa nodded deeply and said, "Confucius was indeed a great man. Even my master praised this sage of literature highly."

After saying that, Damoba asked, "Then what do you think is the reason for Chen Jiu Si's actions?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi said, "Chen Jiu Si is definitely harboring malicious intentions. This person is no kind-hearted man or woman. You can tell he is up to no good."

Thinking this, Chen Jie spoke up: "Hahaha... Your martial arts essentials are naturally the best treasures, but I am quite satisfied with my own martial arts, so I don't need your martial arts essentials."

"Don't worry about the essentials. Do you want gold and silver, or medicinal herbs, or even rare and precious treasures? We can discuss it!"

Upon seeing that Chen Jie did not want the essential martial arts techniques, everyone immediately recited all sorts of martial arts essentials, fearing that they would miss this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "Everyone, everyone, let's forget about these rare and precious medicinal herbs. As for gold and silver, those mundane things, let's not talk about them."

"However, there is one thing that I really want. If you can help me obtain it, I will share this opportunity with you all. What do you all think?"

Everyone was taken aback by Chen Jie's words. Qin Tai said, "Are you kidding us?"

Chen Jie said, "You can make a vow with your Daoist heart."

Li Siqi was shocked to hear this. This oath of Dao Heart was no joke. What exactly did Chen Jiu Si need to be willing to invest so much?

Chen Jie, however, still had a bright smile on his face. He was truly unafraid to swear an oath to his Dao Heart, because the opportunity of this dragon vein, the glow they were currently enveloped in, was the opportunity itself. Chen Jie could not stop others from absorbing this opportunity of the dragon vein.

Naturally, they are sharing in this opportunity; it's just that these people misunderstand this opportunity as the golden lotus of the earth's veins.

Therefore, everyone looked at Chen Jie with great anticipation. Chen Jie then said, "To show my sincerity, I, Chen Jiu Si, once again swear to my martial arts heart. As long as you can help me get what I need, I will share this dragon vein opportunity with you. If I break this oath, may my martial arts stagnate for the rest of my life, may I be plagued by inner demons, and may I die a terrible death!"

After Chen finished explaining, he looked at the crowd and said, "What do you all think? I, Chen Jiu Si, have shown my sincerity!"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Siqi frowned even more. What exactly did Chen Jiu Si want? He actually swore an oath with his martial arts heart. If he broke the oath, he would really suffer a backlash from his martial arts heart. This was no joke.

Qin Tai and the others were initially shocked, then exchanged glances, feeling very excited. They had sworn an oath with their martial arts hearts, and it seemed that the other party was not lying to them. However, they did not know what the other party wanted.

Thinking of this, Qin Tai clasped his hands in a fist and said to Chen Jie, "Brother Chen, just tell us what you want, and we will definitely get it for you."

"Yes, Brother Chen is so sincere, we will never let him down. What does Brother Chen want? Just tell us."

"Speak, Brother Chen."

Everyone was curious about what Chen Jiu Si wanted, so they craned their necks and tilted their ears, trying to hear more clearly.

At this moment, Chen Jie pointed and said, "Gentlemen, I want Li Siqi's head!"
