C231 Invitation by Xuanyuan Zhentian
"I wonder if brother would be interested in joining our heroic expedition?" Xuanyuan Zhentian went straight to the point and asked Wu Jundao directly. However, when Ji Lei heard this, he bluntly refused Xuanyuan Zhentian's invitation: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
After being rejected by Ji Lei, Xuanyuan Zhentian was not annoyed. He continued to ask Ji Lei, "May I know Brother's name?"
"Ji Lei." Ji Lei replied expressionlessly.
"Then I have a question to ask Brother Ji Lei," Xuanyuan Zhentian paused for a moment and then asked Ji Lei, "Do you want to enter the forest on the mountaintop?"
"Yeah, I did. What's the matter?" Seeing that Ji Lei wanted to enter the forest at the top of the mountain, Xuanyuan Zhentian was delighted. He said to Ji Lei, "Brother Ji Lei might not know that the forest at the top of the mountain has long been occupied by Wang Kang, Wang Heng of the Overlord Sect, and Yang Shu of the Earth Sect, Yang Xuan of the Earth Sect. Brother, if you enter the forest at the top, it will be very dangerous.
When Ji Lei heard this, he was somewhat surprised. However, he was not surprised by Xuanyuan Zhentian's words. Instead, he was slightly surprised by Xuanyuan Zhentian's discerning eyes.
Xuanyuan Zhentian would not stop his speech for no reason to pay attention to the insignificant Ji Lei. There were already so many people, one less than the number in attendance, but Xuanyuan Zhentian still wanted to win Ji Lei over with a single reason: Xuanyuan Zhentian knew that Ji Lei was stronger than everyone else. Otherwise, with this kind of character, Xuanyuan Zhentian would not waste his time arguing with him.
Ji Lei slightly frowned as he thought about this. He was curious about Xuanyuan Zhentian, but he didn't agree to Xuanyuan Zhentian's invitation. Instead, he pretended to be confused: "Are the Overlord Sect and Earth Sect very strong?"
A hint of happiness flashed across Xuanyuan Zhentian's eyes when he saw Ji Lei ask such a stupid question. In his eyes, Ji Lei was just a fool who had just entered the forest and didn't understand any accidents. Such a question wouldn't even be asked by a three year old child! This Ji Lei was probably not a country bumpkin who had never seen the world!
Xuanyuan Zhentian looked at Ji Lei with a gaze filled with contempt. Ji Lei saw this, but did not say anything, and Xuanyuan Zhentian was actually dead. His expression changed as he said to Ji Lei: "Brother Ji Lei, you should be new to Nirvana Mountain, right? This is normal if you don't know about some things. Let me tell you, this Overlord Sect is a first-rate sect within the Eastern Continent, their disciples are all overbearing and tyrannical, and the Earth Sect is a super large sect. Yang Shu and Yang Xuan are both first-rate geniuses.
Xuanyuan Zhentian spoke very sincerely, but when Ji Lei heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It's fine to use these words to coax a child, but does he really think of Ji Lei as a fool? He was afraid that once he entered the forest at the top of the mountain, he would leave Wang Kang, Yang Shu, Yang Xuan and their group behind to search for treasures alone! Xuanyuan Zhentian really thought he could fool Ji Lei!
Ji Lei's face revealed an exaggerated expression of worry. He immediately asked Xuanyuan Zhentian, "How many of you do you have?"
"Not a lot, about forty people." Seeing Ji Lei's frightened look, Xuanyuan Zhentian thought he would recruit Ji Lei under his command, so he couldn't help but smile, and then humbly said to Ji Lei, "But these 40 plus people are all elite soldiers, Brother Ji Lei can't be worried. We entered the forest at the top of the mountain with the goal of chasing the four of them out, and we won't stop until we achieve our goal is achieved! We have more people, and taking care of those four people is just a matter of raising our hands! "
What Xuanyuan Zhentian said made Ji Lei want to laugh, but in front of Xuanyuan Zhentian, Ji Lei still held back. Immediately, the worry and panic on his face was slightly restrained. At this moment, an idea popped into Ji Lei's mind …
"How is it? Brother, do you want to join us? " Xuanyuan Zhentian had an earnest look on his face, making Ji Lei feel embarrassed to reject him. In the end, Wu Tie nodded, but it wasn't because he was moved by Xuanyuan Zhentian, but because … A good idea emerged in Ji Lei's heart.
Since Xuanyuan Zhentian wanted to take advantage of these idiots, then why couldn't Ji Lei take advantage of Xuanyuan Zhentian...
"The forest at the top of the mountain is quite large. Even if I were to search for treasure, it would probably take me a long time to find it." Ji Lei said those words intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was punching Xuanyuan Zhentian. Seeing Ji Lei agree to join, Xuanyuan Zhentian's guard suddenly dropped a lot, so he smiled and said to Ji Lei: "What's wrong with that? I have already investigated the forest around the mountain peak thoroughly, but we can only share it with you after we drive these four people away. "
Xuanyuan Zhentian emphasized the word "share" as if to remind Ji Lei that he couldn't be selfish when he joined the faction. As for what was so bad about Xuanyuan Zhentian, Ji Lei could see through it.
Ji Lei let Xuanyuan Zhentian know that Xuanyuan Zhentian knew the way, so he was more at ease.
After swearing at Xuanyuan Zhentian a thousand times in his heart, his face still showed a smile: "Since that's the case, then we will wait for the night to come."
The night was dark and windy. Killing people and setting the sky ablaze.
Along the way, they met a lot of people who wanted to enter the forest on the mountain peak. With Xuanyuan Zhentian's clever tongue, these people naturally joined the team, and as the team got bigger, the team naturally became more imposing.
When they arrived at the forest, Ji Lei saw a vast forest. Other than the surrounding trees, it was so dark inside that he couldn't see clearly.
It was very easy to be ambushed in a place like this.
"Light the fire." Xuanyuan Zhentian raised his hand and torches immediately rose up in the team, instantly dispersing the surrounding darkness. At the same time, Xuanyuan Zhentian also slowly walked forward and stood outside the forest, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly towards the forest: "You bastards of the Overlord Sect and Earth Sect! "Get the hell out here!"
Xuanyuan Zhentian's voice echoed in the mountains, but no one replied. Xuanyuan Zhentian felt a little awkward, and his face revealed a trace of anger, and he immediately continued to shout: "I'm giving you three breaths of time, come out and accept your death! Otherwise, we will directly charge in and crush you! "
However, the air was still frozen. No one responded Xuanyuan Zhentian. Xuanyuan Zhentian was furious. He immediately threw the torch into the forest, turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Kill him!"
