Meng Chen in the dark was full of disbelief. He was just a little late, but he turned out to be a traitor. Did Huikong, Zhou Chao and others just believe Xiao Yicheng's one-sided words?
The four people following Huikong were filled with righteous indignation. If Meng Chen were here, they would definitely take action and cut him into pieces.
"Damn you, you peasant! You killed so many of us! You deserve to be chopped into pieces and your bones pulverized and ashes scattered!"
"Your Majesty treated him well and even bestowed upon him the Divine Phoenix Feather Robe. I never thought this fellow would be so ambitious and dare to betray Your Majesty!"
……
Meng Chen just felt bored when listening to it. These guys have been slandering him for a long time. They are not annoying at all, and Meng Chen himself is tired of listening to them.
He didn't intend to make a fuss about it. No matter what they said, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat.
He had no intention of going out to explain. They looked too confident now. Meng Chen was sure that even if he went out to explain at this time, they would not believe him.
Of course, the most important thing is that he was too lazy to go with these guys, so if they want to misunderstand him, then let them misunderstand him for now!
Meng Chen's figure disappeared quietly. He planned to find the token by himself. Anyway, he also had a map and could collect it by himself.
Huikong, Zhou Chao and the others also started to act. They were now short of four people. No, if you count the betrayer Meng Chen, that’s five!
The original twelve people have only been here for a short time and already nearly half of them are gone. How can they fight against the people from the Three Mysterious Realms?
To be honest, Huikong feels very regretful now. Why did he agree to divide the troops into three groups so foolishly?
When he thought of this, his eyes turned gloomy when he looked at Xiao Yicheng. Xiao Yicheng felt his gaze and his heart skipped a beat. Fear spread throughout his body, making his face pale.
"Senior Brother Huikong, why...why are you looking at me like that?" he said a little guiltily.
Huikong frowned. He was just looking at him because he felt a little resentful about him suggesting dividing the troops into three groups. Why was he so nervous?
"Nothing, I just regretted the decision to split the troops into three groups. But, I didn't say I blame you. Why are you so nervous?"
Xiao Yicheng lowered his head, his eyes rolling around. After a few breaths, his eyes were red. "Brother Huikong, I feel guilty! It was indeed me who proposed to divide the troops into three groups. It was me who harmed everyone! Why wasn't I the one who died!"
As he spoke, tears fell down his face in big drops, as if he was filled with extreme regret and sorrow.
Huikong still had a cold face. After all, this matter was too big and crying would be of no use.
But the same may not be true for others. Except Zhou Chao and him, everyone else began to comfort Xiao Yicheng.
"Brother Huikong, Xiaocheng cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. We actually thought the same way in our hearts at that time, didn't we?" A monk dressed as a scholar advised.
These words hit the nail on the head. This was indeed what they were thinking at the time. The reason they have fallen into this situation now is largely because they underestimated the enemy and relied on luck.
Monk Huikong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Forget it, forget it!" He really didn't know what to say, let alone what to do. He was very confused now.
Zhou Chao remained silent, frowning slightly: "Everyone, be quiet. The most urgent task is to quickly find the eighteen tokens and hunt down the cultivators of the Three Mysterious Heavens. Only in this way can we win the final victory."
Huikong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as you said, let's go to the next coordinate point!"
Xiao Yicheng quickly spoke out to stop them: "What about Meng Chen? He doesn't know that I escaped back. He might even want to harm you and come here on purpose!" He had thought it through. He could take advantage of this incident to kill Meng Chen. With top experts like Huikong and Zhou Chao taking action, he didn't believe that Meng Chen could survive!
When he said this, a rare vicious look appeared on his face, and he didn't even bother to pretend to be kind.
No one felt it was strange. After all, after four senior brothers and sisters had died, it was normal to feel hatred. The strangest thing was to have no hatred.
Huikong and Zhou Chao looked at each other and shook their heads: "The current situation is extremely difficult for us. Now that Meng Chen has surrendered to Sanxuantian, if he comes, he must have something to rely on. Let's not offend him and leave for now!"
Xiao Yicheng was puzzled and said angrily, "Senior Brother Huikong, Senior Brother Zhouchao, you are the top geniuses in the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty. Are you afraid of a man like Meng Chen? Are we leaving in disgrace and letting our brothers and sisters die here in vain?"
Monk Huikong glanced at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "I have my own decision on this matter, and you don't need to interfere! When doing things, we must clearly distinguish the main priorities. We are here under the order of His Majesty to protect the country and the people of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty! Compared with the country and the people, other things must be put aside. Not to mention that it was their clones who died, even if they themselves died, the order of His Majesty must come first!"
Xiao Yicheng was speechless and shut his mouth tactfully. He understood that Huikong was really angry now. In order to win this victory, he had put everything aside.
After Huikong finished scolding, the whole place fell silent. He then led his men away to the next relic site.
Meng Chen had been away for a while and was on his way to the next coordinate point.
He sorted out the map in his sea of consciousness, deduced the coordinates of the points where Huikong and Zhou Chao might go, excluded them, found a farther one, and continued to speed up.
Thunder flashed on Meng Chen's body, and the fierce lightning flashed with dazzling electric light.
"Crack!"
The thunder exploded and he was already far away.
Meng Chen's speed was so fast that he left a scratch in the air. Thunder roared through the sky, causing a huge noise.
However, he was not worried about being discovered. After all, those people were not faster than him. During this period, he actually met a cultivator from the third level of Xuantian. He chased him relentlessly, but was left behind in half an hour.
It was night again, and Meng Chen found a place to rest. It was true that the mission was related to the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty, but what did the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty have to do with him?
Now he has tried his best to help Huang Wujin. As for whether he can win the duel in the end, Meng Chen doesn't want to worry too much.
Meng Chen lay on a cleaned stone pillar, his hands behind his head, staring at the sky, as if in deep thought.
His mind merged into the Cave Heaven Fairy Palace, and he saw Gu Qingshuang and Zhu Hongyan who were practicing in seclusion. The divine patterns of the Great Dao flowed on their bodies, and the bright and dazzling light flowed on them, forming a series of strange and magnificent pictures.
Gu Qingshuang and Zhu Hongyan were like beautiful ladies in a painting, pure and flawless, shining brightly, and even Meng Chen couldn't help but be distracted by their appearance.
