C444 Pressuring
In fact, everyone had been watching from the start, as they didn't dare to take the lead and enter the Lake Center Palace.
After all, no one could tell what the multicolored mist above the lake was, and it was difficult to know what kind of mystery it was. Even the crudest and brightest elder did not dare to easily step in.
It was precisely because they had been waiting and watching that Zeng Jue managed to provoke the two Rock Collapsing Winged Dragons as soon as they arrived.
But the situation was different now, the colorful fog on the roof was gradually dissipating, and the Lake Center Palace was right in front of them.
"Slow down!" Seeing that the simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs was unable to sit still, the Ice Elder immediately rushed over and advised, "Sheng Yue, let's carefully observe for a bit longer! This Guhwa Medicinal Garden was left behind by the Primordial Era, who knows if there might be some kind of trap inside? "
"Aiya!" The more we observe, the more it seems like there isn't anything special about them after a long time. The more we observe, the more it gets! " Although Elder Sheng Dian was slightly dissatisfied, he still stopped in his tracks.
Because they had been constantly observing the situation on the lake surface, more and more people knew about Guhwa Medicinal Garden and they were somewhat dissatisfied with this sudden increase in strength. The more people came, the fewer spiritual medicines the people sitting here would receive.
"We can't act rashly like this …" The Ice True Elder was simply speechless at this. This fellow was too rash, it was a miracle that he could survive until now. Any one of them using a little bit of force might be able to trick him into doing so.
In order to preserve the overall strength of this team, Bing Zhen could only try his best to persuade Qian Yuan to stay calm. Otherwise, if something were to happen to Sheng Yue, with his own strength, he might not be able to suppress Qian Yuan.
Just then, Elder Qian Yuan suddenly said in a weird tone, "Don't we have a Preparative Pill Sage here? A person with such a powerful cultivation in the alchemy dao would obviously need to borrow his power. How about I trouble Young Fellow Taoist Nie to scout it out? "
Elder Qian Yuan's words instantly drew everyone's attention to Nie Zhen.
Hearing what Elder Qian Yuan said, Lu Dong immediately said in dissatisfaction, "Elder Qian Yuan, what do you mean by this?! Do you want me, Junior Brother Nie, to be a pathfinder?! "
Lu Dong was indeed very unhappy. Even if the other party was Elder Qian Yuan, he wouldn't be afraid.
Elder Qian Yuan's words seemed very ordinary, but his intentions were very vicious. It was just as Lu Dong said, he wanted Nie Zhen to be a sacrifice.
"Humph..." What did this old man say was wrong? As a powerhouse in the alchemy dao of Preparative Pill Sage, he was naturally able to discern whether the fog on the lake's surface was poisonous or not. Was there anyone more suitable than Nie Zhen? If you don't even want to use this little bit of strength, why would we bring you guys along? " Elder Qian Yuan sneered at Lu Dong and Nie Zhen.
The surrounding people looked at Nie Zhen and Lu Dong, but no one stood up to speak for them. It was as if it was natural.
Lu Dong's heart was filled with dissatisfaction. Who said that Preparative Pill Sage would require him to be aware of all the poisons in the world? Even if it was a higher level alchemist, they would not say that everyone knew about it. Nie Zhen could just say it like he did, why do he have to make such a big deal out of it?
Just as Lu Dong was about to retort, he was stopped by Nie Zhen. Nie Zhen smiled and said to Elder Qian Yuan, "I think what Elder Qian Yuan said is reasonable, if we didn't agree on it beforehand, then it's fine, but since everyone has already discussed this beforehand, we can enter the Guhwa Medicinal Garden together, so when it's time to do something, we should naturally help."
How could Nie Zhen not see through Elder Qian Yuan's goal? However, in the current situation, both sides were working together. Nie Zhen was only a small faction of four people, how could he be a match for them?
Although he didn't say it, but in Nie Zhen's heart, he had silently noted down this debt. If this Elder Qian Yuan wanted him to be a pathfinder, other than using him, he would also take revenge for Zeng Jue's earlier slapping.
When Zeng Jue had been forced by him to slap himself, it had also caused his Jiugong Sect to lose some face. It was clear that Elder Qian Yuan wanted to use this matter to retaliate against him.
Actually, everyone present was well aware of what Elder Qian Yuan was planning. However, they obviously didn't care about that. As long as they could achieve their goal and didn't have to sacrifice themselves, then that was fine. This was not what they were concerned about.
Since he saw through these people, Nie Zhen felt that there was nothing else to say. When the time came, we can rely on our own abilities to stop Lu Dong from talking anymore, because it would be useless to say anything more.
The saying "weak nations have no diplomacy" was a common saying used in ancient and modern times.
"Heh heh... Since Young Fellow Taoist Nie is so righteous, then that's for the best. Don't worry, we will remember Young Fellow Taoist Nie's contribution. When the Ice True Elder saw Nie Zhen agree so easily, he also smiled and said.
However, Nie Zhen did not dare to be sure of the value of his words. After all, he had seen through the faces of these people.
Immediately, the four people of Nie Zhen's team came to the entrance. Nie Zhen looked at the lake, which still had a faint colorful mist floating around. He casually said to the people behind him, "No problem, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."
"Bullshit!" Have you looked carefully?! " Zeng Jue didn't care whether Nie Zhen was right or wrong and directly scolded him: "You promise? What do you promise to be worth? I see that you have ill intentions, you want to trick us into entering the entrance first, then when we are poisoned, you can do whatever you want, right?! "
Zeng Jue's words instantly garnered the approval of a portion of the crowd. Nie Zhen observed it too casually, giving off a feeling of indifference.
Combined with the fact that everyone was targeting Nie Zhen, Nie Zhen's false claim that the lake was free of any poison was more likely.
All of a sudden, Elder Sheng Dian roared at Nie Zhen: "Nie Zhen, since we've discussed it before, you agreed. If you come back to play any tricks with us, don't blame me for being rude!"0
Nie Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "Since everyone wants me to be responsible for this, then I have made my judgment. Since everyone suspects this, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything. You can judge for yourselves …"
"Look!" This kid is feeling guilty! " Zeng Jue suddenly felt that he had caught Nie Zhen's weakness.
Nie Zhen didn't even care about this idiot Zeng Jue, but following that, the Ice True Elder said to Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen, you're just saying that the fog above the lake doesn't have any poison, which is really hard to believe. I think it's better if you swear an oath to prove that what you said is true."
