Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 80 Intrigue and Schemes

"Ah, Canaan Academy, Wu Tianlang, I will never forgive you!"

With a grief-stricken roar, Luo Nuetian delivered a heavy blow, sending Wu Tianlang flying backward. He hovered in mid-air, gazing at the Ironclad Sect disciples and elders in the valley who had all lost their breath.

A surge of grief and indignation welled up within him. From this day forward, the Ironclad Sect could be considered utterly annihilated. Immediately following, a surge of madness rose within him, and he transmitted his thoughts to the Gold and Silver Elders, who had also paused their fight.

"Elders Jin and Yin, if you still want the remaining treasures, then follow me down and kill a few students from Canaan Academy."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the two elders, Jin and Yin, exchanged a glance, and then Elder Jin spoke in a telepathic message.

"Luo Nuetian, the situation is dire. If you hand over your reward to us now, the two of us can still guarantee your safe departure." He paused, then continued under Luo Nuetian's incredulous gaze.

"If you don't agree, then the deal is off, and the two of us will leave immediately, no longer caring about your life or death."

"puff"

Upon hearing this, Luo Nuetian could no longer suppress the gloom in his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face looking extremely miserable and terrifying. However, what did this matter to the Gold and Silver Elders, who had been in the Black Corner Region for decades? They remained calm and waited for his answer.

"Alright, I grant your request. I can add one more thing: if you help me hold off Su Qian and Wu Tianlang for a quarter of an hour while I collect the bodies of my fellow disciples, I can give you double the reward. But you can only pay me after I have safely left."

Then, as if to boost their confidence, Luo Nuetian spoke again.

"I am now all alone. Do you think the renowned Elders Jin and Yin would worry that I would break my promise?"

Upon hearing this, the two elders, Jin and Yin, exchanged a glance and nodded, understanding each other's meaning. It wasn't that they truly believed the other would keep their promise, but rather, as Luo Nuetian had said, the lone Luo Nuetian was no match for the two of them.

Moreover, the two exchanged another glance, a barely perceptible glint of fervor flashing in their aged eyes. "Perhaps we can devour it whole then!"

Having figured out the key point, the two nodded to Luo Nuetian. "We agree to your request, but you only have half an hour. If you haven't made a move by then, we'll turn around and leave."

"You!" Luo Nuetian was furious at the two men's treachery, gritting his teeth before nodding as if he had no other choice. However, when the two men turned their gaze to Su Qian and Wu Tianlang, a cruel glint flashed in their eyes.

"Luo Nuetian, begin the operation! Remember, you only have a quarter of an hour."

As soon as the two elders finished speaking, before they could react, they unusually separated, much to the surprise of Su Qian and Wu Tianlang. However, Luo Nuetian's next action made the two understand, and Wu Tianlang then tried to bypass them and head towards Luo Nuetian.

However, he was stopped by Elder Yin, who said, "Wu Tianlang, the commander of the enforcement team? I'd like to see what you've got up your sleeve."

"Old man, you better get out of my way, or you'll regret it!"

Wu Tianlang's icy voice rang out, as chilling as the murderous aura emanating from him, giving one the feeling of death descending. Seeing that the old man in front of him did not move aside, he swung his heavy sword, unleashing a fierce sweep of killing intent.

Su Qian and Jin Lao were in a similar situation. After their attempts to persuade him failed, Su Qian also took decisive action, but the situation became one-sided.

Although the spatial power of a low-level Dou Zong was insufficient to instantly surpass that of Jin Lao, who was at the peak of Dou Huang, Jin Lao, who was facing a Dou Zong alone, also struggled to barely hold his own against Su Qian. Moreover, the battlefield was rapidly approaching the valley.

No wonder the two elders, Jin and Yin, said they only had half a quarter of an hour; it wasn't unreasonable. However, judging from the situation, it's unlikely they'll even have half a quarter of an hour.

A tremendous roar echoed across the sky, and Luo Nuetian, who was about to approach the valley, glanced at the battlefield in the sky, then looked down at the corpses of the Ironclad Sect disciples and elders in the valley, a wicked smile flashing across his lips.

"The Gold and Silver Elders? Bah! They're idiots who think they can extort money from me. If it weren't for the destruction of the Ironclad Sect, they would have really thought they could get a reward."

He spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then looked at the Canaan Academy students in the valley who were staring at him with serious expressions. A hint of killing intent flashed across his face, and he quickly pressed down.

"You Canaan Academy brats, guard your heads well, and I'll come back to reap them another day!"

Then, it suddenly unleashed a speed incomparable to that of the Ironclad Sect, flapping its battle aura wings on its back and rapidly moving away from the area. This sudden change left the Canaan Academy students below completely bewildered. What did this mean?

After a while, Jin Lao, who was already struggling to continue, was about to urge Luo Nuetian below when he suddenly realized that there was no movement below, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

Then he saw Luo Nuetian rushing rapidly into the distance, and a surge of blood rushed to his head, as if he had been hit hard, his head buzzing. He staggered, and if it weren't for Elder Yin's quick thinking and timely support, he would have been captured by Elder Su Qian, who seized the opportunity.

"call"

At this moment, the two elders, Jin and Yin, stood facing off against Su Qian and Wu Tianlang in the air. However, the expressions on the faces of the two elders, Jin and Yin, were extremely grim. This was not only because they had been tricked, but also because, given the current situation, they themselves might be in grave danger.

Elder Su Qian and Commander Wu Tianlang's expressions were not so good either. After all, they had almost wiped out the Ironclad Sect this time. If they didn't capture their most powerful member, Luo Nuetian, he could hide and assassinate people from the academy, which would be a huge bomb.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Old Jin, who was coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, spoke first.

"Elder Su Qian, Commander Wu, we were both in the wrong this time."

They first tried to show weakness, since for these two old bastards, life was more important than face. As long as they had the strength of a peak Dou Huang, they could still live a carefree life in the Black Corner Region even after leaving this place.

"However, if Canaan Academy is allowed to escape by Naro Nuetian this time, it will probably be difficult to live in peace in the future. How about we two leave and leave each other alone from now on?"

Upon hearing Elder Jin's words, Su Qian and his companion exchanged a glance and nodded, then slowly surrounded Elder Jin and Elder Yin.

"Luo Nuetian is a menace, but you two old scoundrels aren't exactly harmless either. Why don't we deal with you both at once?"

Elder Su Qian spoke slowly, then revealed a piece of news that made the two of them's eyes widen in horror.

"Furthermore, don't you think the Vice Dean of the School of Foreign Languages ​​never showed up at all?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the two elders, Jin and Yin, broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Su Qian and the other two didn't care about Luo Nuetian's departure at all, and didn't need them to take action.

"Damn it, this is troublesome."

The two elders, Jin and Yin, exchanged a glance, their faces grim. Just as they were about to unleash a powerful attack with severe side effects, they heard Su Qian speak again.

"However, if you two hand over all your possessions and swear never to be enemies with Canaan Academy, we two might be willing to let you leave," Elder Su Qian said softly, stroking his beard.

"After all, even I am unwilling to withstand a desperate attack from two peak Douhuang experts."

Upon hearing this, the two elders, who had originally planned to fight to the death, lost their fighting spirit and exchanged a glance before nodding in agreement.

"Resources and treasures can be earned again as long as you're alive, but you only have one life. Once you die, you have nothing left!"

With this in mind, the two elders, Gold and Silver, did not hesitate to take off their storage rings and then cunningly tossed them far away. They then flew off at a speed never before seen in their lives, moving in the exact opposite direction.

Seeing this, Elder Su Qian and Commander Wu Tianlang did not stop them. After the two figures disappeared, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
