Chapter 124 Face
When the familiar smell of burning came from the air again, those present remained calm.
The loser scoffed, "What's the use of being first? Are you rushing to die? Humph, I'll have to do it."
Mo Jiuwei wanted to roll her eyes—
[Seriously, where do these people get their confidence? Even if they're going to make bold statements, they should wait until they've succeeded!]
[They really aren't afraid of being proven wrong.]
Oh, right. If they win, they'll have gotten away with it; if they lose, the person will be completely embarrassed on the spot, so there's no need to worry about losing face.
It's no wonder Mo Jiuwei silently complained; she was speechless at how these people started chanting slogans before even stepping onto the stage.
He claims the spirit fire is his, or that he has to get it... What a baffling confidence.
Chen Lan almost laughed, but she held it in.
Meng Ling was young and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What are you laughing at, Senior Sister Meng?
Oh, they're definitely mocking this man too.
Mo Jiuwei thought to herself.
Chen Lan glared at Meng Ling, who then stopped laughing.
Thankfully, my junior sister didn't think about my inner thoughts, otherwise we would have been exposed.
And indeed, the man's performance did not disappoint Mo Jiuwei; unsurprisingly, he failed.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Someone spoke up next to her, and when Chen Lan looked, she saw it was the long-faced female cultivator who had been recruited by the Yue Dynasty.
She didn't have a good impression of this person, and after hearing this, she turned her head away and ignored him completely.
The female cultivator was clearly angered; she gritted her teeth and glared at her.
[That's ridiculous. If he wants to go, he can go. Why should we care?]
We're not going to rush off to our deaths.
[Watch the show!]
However, it would be nice to have some fruit right now.
Mo Jiuwei felt that watching the play like this was a bit dry and really wanted some snacks to go with it.
However, this occasion doesn't seem quite right, so I'll hold back.
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, half the number of people on the field had disappeared.
Without exception, all of these people failed.
As for the advantages of this spirit fire, there are some—
The death was relatively quick; it was gone in an instant, unlike other spiritual fires that burned people to death in such a painful way.
Because of the lack of this suffering, the onlookers were less afraid of it and were not frightened by the miserable state of these people.
After a while, some people started to back out.
"Um, I regret it. I don't want to try it anymore. You guys try it."
A female cultivator grabbed her Daoist partner, said something, and then tried to leave.
Naturally, she was stopped.
"Wait!" Yue Chao, who had been guarding the exit, reached out and stopped them.
The two looked somewhat frightened. "What do you mean? You won't let us leave? Do you really want us to go and die?" "Of course not, please calm down." Yue Chao's expression and demeanor were very calm, even somewhat gentle. "You can leave if you want, or you can choose not to try the spirit fire, but that will have to wait until everything has settled down."
"What do you mean?" the two asked, frowning.
"If you go out and leak the news, wouldn't we be unable to continue?" Yue Chao smiled. "So even if you don't want to, please stay until this is the end. I won't stop you if you want to leave then."
Perhaps because what he said was too reasonable, and because his appearance and tone were gentle and harmless, the two believed him.
Hearing that they could leave but just had to wait a little longer, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions improved considerably.
"In that case, fine."
Yue Chao smiled and gestured for them to stand back, which they did.
[Those who want to leave won't be stopped anymore... Of course, the Fragrance of the Dark Orchid will take effect then, and even if they want to leave, they won't be able to.]
In truth, Liu Feng and the others were still somewhat uneasy.
The reason Liu Feng had previously refused Yue Chao's offer was because he had doubts and felt that this was a windfall, so he instinctively wanted to stay away.
If Jiuwei hadn't wanted to come, he would never have led his disciples to their deaths!
The longer he stays, the more uneasy he feels.
Not only Ming Lanxiang, but the entire mansion is filled with people from the Yue family. There are about ten people in the open, and there must be other experts in the shadows.
Do they really have the confidence to face the Yue family alone, defeat them, and escape unscathed?
Also, the Yue family... let's just call them the Yue family for now. The Yue family has set up such a big scheme. No matter what their plans are, they must be confident that they can subdue the spirit fire, rather than letting it fall into the hands of outsiders.
They were already outmatched; if the Yue family were to gain the aid of the spiritual fire...
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
Liu Feng couldn't help but look at Mo Jiuwei, who was watching the show with great interest, her eyes wide open. Sometimes, when she saw something she found amusing, she would grin and reveal her eight tiny teeth, like grains of millet.
Yes, she's quite cute.
No, that's not the point.
She's so calm and collected; she must have a way to get them out of there unscathed... right?
Liu Feng felt he had gone mad, entrusting the lives of his entire clan to a one-year-old girl!
However, regardless of the outcome, and regardless of whether Jiuwei has any other trump cards, I must at least do my best. At worst, I will protect them with my own body, and try my best to help my junior disciples leave as far as possible.
Liu Feng secretly made a decision in his heart, and actually had the will to die.
Mo Jiuwei hadn't expected that her Uncle Liu had prepared for the worst; she was watching the show with great interest.
One after another, cultivators went to their deaths, with almost no pause in between. Occasionally, several people would step forward at the same time and fight each other to the death.
These people are really eager to get themselves killed.
This Divine Flame of the Crow God is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to obtain; an ordinary person's spiritual sense is too weak, and they are no match for it.
To obtain the Black God Spirit Fire, either a powerful being needs to intervene, or someone who has cultivated a technique related to divine sense, possessing a divine sense strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Those who were brought in were destined to be cannon fodder.
Mo Jiuwei saw through everything, but she didn't say anything to stop it.
She's just a child, who can she stop?
Moreover, even if someone were to step forward and explain all the pros and cons, these people wouldn't listen. They're blinded by greed, only thinking about the benefits of obtaining the spirit fire while selectively ignoring its dangers.
It's ridiculous to be like a moth drawn to a flame, but there are far too many people in the world who do it.
Since they are willing, let them go. Mo Jiuwei could only watch from the sidelines.
Who told her she was just a baby!
Soon, fewer and fewer people remained on the field, until finally less than thirty people were left.
This made the people from the Immortal Sect stand out even more.
Yue Chao narrowed his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Liu, you're all here now, so...aren't you going to go up and give it a try?"
Oh, here it comes, here comes its true colors!
